Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 561 - Set Off

At the location where large amounts of Celestials were cl.u.s.tered together as they came to form an enormous Legion, the one who would be leading at the forefront was standing in the command room of the Realm Dreadnaught while staring out to the numerous Warsh.i.p.s floating in the void of space.

The command room was placed at the very front of the continental sized vessel, being extremely wide and vast as it gave an expansive view of everything occurring outside while hiding everything inside from the eyes of those prying.

Athena, the War Princess that would lead this enormous legion filled with Star Forging Commanders was overlooking the expanse of space as numerous thoughts crossed through her mind, many that she did not have the answers to!

”I never imagined your Noble Fate would be this grand. It makes your Master feel proud even now.”

Beside her, the voice of Grandmaster Vredral rang out as he stroked his white beard with a prideful expression, his position continuing to be elevated as his disciples rose ever so higher.

Athena looked at this being she knew as her Master, her eyes hiding the dangerous light that came whenever she thought about Grandmaster Luo and this Grandmaster Vredral.

Her master knew exactly what Grandmaster Luo had done, and even he used to do it himself in the past! These powerful beings pulled the strings as they affected billions of beings in the light expanse, spreading the same chaos that she herself promised to stand against!

But...did any of it matter?

Athenaʼs thoughts were despondent as even while knowing all of this, even if she aimed her sword at the beings that a particular person pointed her to at this moment...she felt like it would all be for naught.

This was because she knew the power of the organization extremely well, and she knew the impossibility of standing against them! Thus she was very perplexed at Crixus who had managed to bind her through blood and threats, currently telling her how to act and what to do as he actually went against Celestials!

”Athena?”

Grandmaster Vredral turned towards her as she didnʼt reply, her thoughts coming back as she released a fake smile while talking.

”Sorry, Master. I was basking in the glory of it all myself. We should be setting off soon, yes?”

”Haha yes, yes. Crixus, you need to show even more exemplary abilities in the coming battle to not be left behind by your Senior Sister!”

Vredral continued stroking his beard wisely as he turned to a calm Crixus on the side, Athenaʼs eyes also turning towards him as they trembled with an unknown light.

Noah smiled while looking at Vredral and Athena, his voice ringing out clearly.

”It will be a battle to remember.”

His words were released as they held different meanings to the people that heard them! Athena heard these words as she sensed something foreboding while imagining exactly what this being that used to be her Junior Brother was planning, while Grandmaster Vredral only nodded while looking forward to battle where his disciples were at the forefront!

But he was not privy to the telepathic conversations that Noah was currently having with Athena as he garnered all the information available to the being who would be directing powerful experts around the battlefield because of her unique skill, {Precognition}.

He now knew of the presence of 8 Star Forging Individuals, his heart shaking as he found out this number because it truly represented something grand! If he could actually play this coming battle well, it meant he could possibly bring under his heel 8 Star Forgers!

Think of the Fate Lines!

Think of the Loot or the Skill Points!

His heart was shaking because they provided him with such an abundant feast that he did not even know how to best make use of it. He had the War Princess who would actually be commanding this enormous force led by 8 Star Forgers, so he had a lot of leeway to strategize and possibly set a trap that would allow him to sweep all of these powerful Star Forgers away.

RUMBLE!

The space around him began shaking as he was taken out of his thoughts, the enormous Realm Dreadnaught beginning to move as a drove of Prime Warsh.i.p.s accompanied it along. In the wide command room, there was also the presence of 2 Star Forging Celestial Commanders that were the ones providing the energy to run the Realm Dreadnaught smoothly, the one at the forefront speaking out as the Legion began to move.

”Commander Athena, you can have your {Precognition} skill active as we near our target. We are to treat the 9th Infernal Lord as an extremely dangerous figure who can dispose of Star Forgers that have yet to achieve half comprehension of a law with ease. Thus, me and Commander Lylle who have obtained an Authority of a universal law will face him in close combat, with you sending us the information of what your ability tells you in real time.”

The voice of the green-haired Commander Verdant rang out strongly, causing Athena to nod her head that was filled with too many thoughts.

Her {Precognition} skill would be ready as the battle began, but she wondered how all of it would go down as these Celestial Commanders who were waiting for her directions would actually be receiving directions that someone else commanded her.

Her heart was tumultuous as it wanted to return to one that was valiant and ready to eradicate any beings causing Chaos, but she knew her power would not be able to allow her to achieve anything she wanted.

Even though she was angry and wanted to confront and bring to account Grandmaster Vredral for his role in her life, she knew the moment she acted the Star Forging Celestials would use their powerful energies to stop her. Even if she had to atone for all the lives she had taken with her own hands under the orders of others, she could not as the only person special to her was holding on to her life!

The Celestials she had considered to be her family but were actually beings spreading chaos were standing on one side, and the being that had bound her by blood and had destructive energies swirling around her heart was standing on the other side. Even though she had told Crixus that she would stay true to her heart and point her sword to those causing chaos, she doubted if she was strong enough to do so!

The War Princess did not know how all of this would be resolved as this chosen Commander led an enormous Legion filled with hundreds of thousands of Celestials and packed with 8 Star Forgers towards the Verittas Fortress.

She led them towards the location where she knew Crixus would ultimately command her to betray them. She led them to the location that she knew would most likely be her death as Crixus made her atone for all she had done.

The thoughts of the War Princess were sad and melancholic as her awareness secretly focused on a single being in the expansive command room while her gaze continued facing forward, her mouth already beginning to release Commands as many vessels thundered forth at full speed towards the Verittas Fortress!
