A Primordial Beast! I
A Primordial Beast! I
The scene before Augustus was an abysmal one as even while his body released waves of Extinction, all he could do was merely hold back against the attacks of the terrifying Primordial Beast before him as even those he depended on were faring no better than him.
Time seemed to be moving in slow motion as his eyes captured the powerful crimson storms descending from the claws of the glimmering Primordial Beast before them, as well as the figures of Antiquities letting out waves of power only slightly below his!
His son Alex and daughter Lexis, as well as the Antiquities under him known as Charles and Viola. Then there was him. The ruler of this Indigo Cosmos, and the being that should be able to defend it against all the threats it ever faced.
Augustus Marcus Tiberius!
The King of the Indigo Cosmos who always sat upon a high throne, and yet his brilliant blue robe was currently looking dim under the attacks of the Primordial Beast as his heart was turning increasingly more somber and pained.
He only arrived at the position he was in due to the quintillions that supported him, and he truly didn't want to let them down or sacrifice any of them to this beast! Not even a single universe! But...the options weren't there.
He recalled his son's words of sacrificing this Universe as anger flared up within him yet again, his body rumbling with power as he bellowed out!
"PERSEVERE!"
RUMBLE!
Extinction waved out madly as waves of pristine blue were carried with it, everyone moving with emotion when they saw King Augustus move with such fervor before them. Their universes burned brightly as all of them moved with a single belief- and that belief was that help was coming.
They had already sent word to the force they were connected to as they should be able to send someone to help them even with the terrifying beast before them. They were waiting...which was why it was an even more shocking thing for them to be surprised when they saw the appearance of multiple existences nearing their location from the crimson Ruination Seas!
King Augustus and the Primordial Beast were the first to see the arriving figures, their sheer aura causing a lull to appear in the battle as their figures alone demanded to be looked at as they stole all attention. Even the Primordial Beast had for some reason paused as its eyes flashed with a chilling light.
A figure with sharply shining golden eyes had his hair flying wildly, standing atop a Colossal Helios Leviathan as he actually looked at the scene below him with a smile!
Around him, a terrifying Serpent and a myriad of other Beasts could be seen as weirdly enough, even a slime was bouncing excitedly on his head.
When King Augustus saw this scene...he was actually slightly disappointed as it wasn't the help he was expecting! But nonetheless...anything that wasn't a Primordial Beast in the Ruination Seas was not an enemy, even more so when such a being could traverse the Ruination Seas! And even more so when it was a whole party of them, even if it looked like a man walking around with his beasts.
Anyone with such an ability meant they had comprehended Ruination or the Primordial Dao, and any of such beings were renowned Antiquities with great strength. So Augustus recovered first within this lull in battle as he bellowed out.
"Friends! Aid us to hold this beast back just until aid arrives!"
WAA!
A call for help!
The hearts of the other Antiquities lifted at such a scene, observing that all of the newly appearing existences before them had multiple glimmering Universes that represented multiple Antiquities. With this they should be able to hold on with ease or even possibly push this beast back, right?
WOOOO!
A unique cry was released from the Primordial Beast as it actually stopped attacking the universe of the Indigo Cosmos, its eyes fixed on Noah as this existence could instinctively sense something different about this newly appearing being!
It was first angered that an easy meal was interrupted, and even more angered that it could feel a threatening sensation against this being before it.
How dare for such a puny existence to deny the might of a magisterial galaxy-sized Primordial Beast?!
RUMBLE!
With a frightful bellow, King Augustus and others watched in shock as the Primordial Beast that had been focused on their Universe this whole time actually turned around and turned into a streak of light that tore through the Ruination Sea towards the newly appearing being.
Its bestial golden, white, and crimson furred body glistened gloriously as Ruination Essence weaved around it dangerously, intent on ripping apart the intruder before they even got a chance to make an introduction!
But…
WAP!
Before the Primordial Beast could even reach the enormous Colossal Helios Leviathan that the figure stood on, everyone heard a sound akin to glass shattering as they felt their hearts shake, the crimson seas in front of the Primordial Beast unstably breaking apart and leaving an expansive space filled with a void as in a nigh instantaneous manner, the figure standing on the leviathan had appeared right before the Primordial Beast.
…!
King Augustus watched this scene as his pupils began to dilate, watching as the small figure of the human that was a few thousand times smaller than the Primordial Beast actually appeared before it fearlessly and in such a fast manner that even the nearby crimson seas were pushed apart...this being stretching out his right hand as if he was merely punching!
RIIIP!
The exquisite robe that draped over his hand began to rip apart from his fist as it stretched up to his shoulders, wondrous tattoos beginning to weave beautifully and powerfully as a terrifying pressure descended in the near few hundred light years.
Glistening Runic Dao Lines weaved majestically as they caused the eyes of all those watching to light up with shock, every single being finding their eyes focused on this being and his multicolored right hand that thundered straightforwardly towards a Primordial Beast!
No tricks or skills! Just sheer unbelievable speed and power as even the eyes of the Primordial Beast constricted with its fur standing at high alarm, shields of Ruination beginning to form around it as the terrifying multicolored hand arrived at this moment.
"..."
The sound didn't register at first.
It was the void of Ruination that first shattered as its terrifying explosive force only reverberated thereafter.
BOOOOM!
