Chapter 985 - An Oath Is Broken! I
The Elysian Universe was one of the most beautiful Universes one could come across within the Primordial Cosmos.
An entire Universe filled to the brim with the essence of Fate, Light, Karma, Destiny...a great deal of extremely high ranking laws and Daos!
Among the Hegemonies, it was even an unwritten fact that the Elysian Universe was one of the core Universes that was the center of the Primordial Cosmos!
This seemed supported by the fact that this Universe was the birthplace of one of the first Hegemonies, a Hegemony that had risen in power and established the Dao of the Oath Keeper that created a semblance of Order among all the Chaos- the Hegemony Oathkeeper!
The abode of this being was a magnificent one as a certain Hegemony made his way over and appeared in front of an enormous Galaxy.
What was incredulous about this Galaxy in front of him was the fact that among the trillions of Stellar Bodies one could see within it...there were also enormous golden chains spread throughout as they stretched across the Galaxy, wrapping around it tightly as these golden chains the size of stars wrapped around the boundary of the Galaxy!
An incredible scene that very few being would ever come across in their entire lives...a Galaxy wrapped thoroughly with golden chains vibrating with the essence of Fate and Destiny, something that only someone like Oathbreaker could achieve!
RUMBLE!
A bright golden light shone out from the Galaxy as before the visiting Hegemony could enter, a horrendous aura leaked out as the figure of a stellar and devilishly handsome middle aged man appeared.
Hair as gold as it could be, eyes intensely white as they sucked in the surrounding golden chaotic void. A simple white robe adorned him as on his back, golden shimmering wings could be seen as they palpated with the essence of a myriad of Daos!
His eyes carried a hint of vicissitude and profound wisdom as they landed on the visitor that held similar eyes, this being that was known as the Oahkeeper speaking out lightly.
"Chronos."
RUMBLE!
That's right!
The Hegemony that Ambrose and a few others were connected to was a heavyweight of the Primordial Cosmos- a Hegemony that was titled Chronos for no other reason than the fact that publicly, many beings knew that he was the first and among the few to comprehend the Dao of Chronos!
Oathkeeper and 1 other Powerful Hegemony had this Dao comprehended as well, but Hegemony Chronos was the first as he reserved this title.
"Oathkeeper, do you have some time?"
Chronos spoke with a light smile that would mesmerize trillions, the Oathkeeper nodding as he acknowledged him and waved his hands, causing a rift to appear in the space between them.
This rift led to a small isolated golden Realm hidden within the folds of space, the two beings stepping within it as uniquely, Oathkeeper did not invite Chronos into the Galaxy surrounded by golden chains that he came from!
….
Within the golden isolated Realm, two ridiculously powerful beings looked at each other.
Oathkeeper's face was impassive as he waved his hands and caused two cups to appear, these cups quickly becoming filled with a golden liquid as they floated in space, the two Hegemonies using the space within the realm as if it was floor and sitting down in front of these two cups, each of them grabbing one as Chronos was the first to speak.
"I came to propose another Exploration into the Sea of Ruination."
…!
RUMBLE!
The topic that Chronos chose to start with was a unique one, Oathkeeper's eyes rising up and flashing with light as he spoke calmly.
"We have discussed and tried this a great deal of times with the same result. There is nothing for us outside of the Primordial Cosmos, Chronos. Find contentment and strive to achieve Antiquity in your home...no matter how many years it takes!"
…!
A quick denial met Chronos as he smiled lightly while sipping the golden drink within his hands.
"Not if we stop sending out portions of our souls. Not if we go in fully and you...bring along your Cosmic Treasure."
THRUM!
Chronos said these words simply as he dropped a bombshell, continuing to sip his drink as the gaze of Oathkeeper became utterly cold, his body erupting out with preposterous levels of power as he rose up, a phantom image of his figure that was thousands of miles in size appearing behind him as he gazed at Chronos!
"How do you know about that?"
When his voice released this time around, it seemed as if galaxies were exploding in Chronos's ears, but he still remained seated and sipping his drink as he spoke with a forlorn expression.
"The Cosmic Treasure that others know nothing about...a treasure of immense proportions that has given you the power to be unrivaled in the Primordial Cosmos. It's funny how the rest of them haven't connected the dots really."
The gaze of Chronos turned from forlorn and smiled lightly again before he continued.
"Who could have guessed that such a thing would fall in the hands of someone like you? Someone with no ambition, someone that only used his power to bring peace and order…"
RUMBLE!
At these words, the aura of Oathkeeper rose ever higher as it turned palpable, his eyes sucking in the surrounding space as he voiced out.
"And what would you have done with it? Senselessly try over and over again to find something that doesn't exist? Go on a conquest and Rule the Cosmos?"
WAA!
His booming voice erupted all around as it seemed angered, but Chronos kept his smiling expression when staring at this being as he was waiting for a certain thing to happen!
That certain thing...was the movement of a Hegemony under him to take care of a rising problem that interfered with his goals within the Animus Universe!
---
The boundaries within the Primordial Cosmos were extremely hard to travel across, with the boundaries between Universes being something that Hegemonies or truly powerful Paragons had the ability to cross.
At this moment, a Hegemony clad in darkness was making his way across Universal Barriers as he was about to enter the Animus Universe!
The Dao Essence of Voidspace was just among the many this being carried, but the Dao that granted him the Title of Dark Shadow- a being that could weave into the folds of space and run faster than many Hegemonies while having camouflaging abilities that nobody in the Primordial Cosmos could compare to was a special one.
It was one of the Cosmic Daos that was uniquely comprehended by him, one that made him the top assassin within the Primordial Cosmos- The Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity!
Such a being was currently entering the Animus Universe, his goal being a particular Paragon that had shone too brightly!
