Chapter 585: Controller Against Controller! Aldrich's eyes were literally blazing with golden flames as he stared down towards Noah, his eyes seemingly trying to peer through this being entirely! His mouth moved as his power continued to bubble and overspill wildly. "You were playing the role of Crixus and 9th Infernal Lord, what are you, really?" WAA! Majesty was coursing through this voice as it seemed to be compelling the responder to speak, but Noah calmly looked forth as the unique essence of a Grand Controller began to spread across his body while replying. "Noah Omont. Just someone that comes from a small blue planet." RUMBLE! "Haha! Good!" Wrathful laughter was all that met Noah as the power Aldrich released reached a tipping point at this moment. "[Celestial King's Majesty]." OOONG! The color of gold overflowed in front of Noah as the figure of Aldrich was adorned with a grand visage, a golden-colored outline erupting from him as it grew tens of miles, this visage he released having three faces as one looked forward facing him, with the other two facing left and right! This golden-looking incarnation reached out as it grasped an enormous pillar that seemed to be a staff, where one could actually discern that this golden pillar was actually made up of...Fate Lines! Hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines came together to create this enormous staff, the golden incarnation surrounding Aldrich smashing it towards Noah as the three faces eerily carried different expressions. RUMBLE! It was a single strike thundering down, a strike from a weapon that was somehow created from Fate Lines and wielded by an incarnation multiple miles long. Yet as this strike thundered down, Noah breathed out as he closed his eyes, the time around him seemingly moving in slow motion as breathed out and felt the aura of a Grand Controller. It was a type of essence that had a myriad of uses, but he uttered in his mind a single word at this time as he sought only one, as he formed an intent! |Defense| SHIING! Adhering to his command, the essence of a Grand Controller erupted from him as it streaked towards his index finger, becoming concentrated in this location as he actually rose his finger up to meet the enormous miles long golden staff! Even the eyes of the three watching Infernal Lords opened in surprise at this as they saw no flashy skills or transformations, simply a shimmering golden light rising to Noah's finger as he actually raised it to come in contact with the staff that was smashing down. "..." BZZT...CRACK! BOOM! Space shattered as at the point of contact, Noah actually was not even pushed a single step back, those raising their eyes to the skies being able to see a distinct figure stopping an enormous staff...with a single finger! Shocking! Powerful! Boastful! These were all the words that would come into one's mind as they watched this, the enormous staff made of fate lines stopped in place as a terrifying friction that continued to split apart space continued. Meanwhile, Noah felt what should have been an enormous weight bearing down on him, and yet the essence of a Grand Controller that he had focused while uttering |Defense| made it so that he actually did not feel a thing. This was the power of a Controller! This was the perk one received after comprehending an entire law! A unique essence Noah had only just begun exploring the uses of! BZZZT! Aldrich raised the staff up as his golden eyes inside the incarnation stared coldly towards the being that had stopped his attack with a single finger. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 This was a stronger attack than when Aldrich even faced the three Nebula Realm Infernal Lords that could actualy not even stand up against him, and yet Noah had defended it effortlessly! This was the gulf of strength that was created when one fully comprehended a law, this was the true meaning of the title of a Controller! The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lord knew this as they simply watched on, knowing they would be of no help whatsoever when it came to beings on a completely different type of strength! The light of wrath had only continued to grow stronger in Aldrich's as he saw the seamless use of the essence of a Grand Controller that would take enormous amounts of mana to utilize from the hands of the 9th Infernal Lord, his mouth moving thereafter as he simply made his next move. "[Fusion- Celestial Emperor]" RUMBLE! Essence wildly filled the skies as the incarnation of gold around Aldrich became much more solid, his small body within actually turning into particles of light as he fused with the incarnation, enormous runic circles beginning to swim around this enormous golden body as it rose to over 100 miles! The body, the weapon, everything around the enormous golden figure became more solid as it looked to be a creature made of gold, yet a grotesque head that contained three faces with expressions of rage, happiness, and mercy were eerily overseeing everything around it as three pairs of eyes looked over the small figure of a single being. Noah's gaze also looked back as he reveled in the ingenuities of a Grand Controller's essence, nodding his head as he saw the enormous figure that was over 100 miles large. He was only at the Star Forging Realm, yet he had been able to stop the strike of a being at the Nebula Realm who was also a Grand Controller! It required an enormous amount of mana to command the Grand Controller's essence to move, but he had no such worries as it wasn't even a drop in the wide reserves of the Realm he was connected to. As he saw the enormous golden three-faced figure of Aldrich though, he smiled once more as he confirmed in his mind...that he actually stood a chance of winning! He also smiled because when it came to size...well size was the one he was not lacking in. "[Aether Lord's Authority] [Fate Lord's Authority]. [Fire Lord's Authority]. [Water Lord's Authority]." RUMBLE! Four different authorities erupted out around him, even the newly gained Authority of the Aether Lord because of the singular ability of the Terror of Aether! But this wasn't all as he continued. "[Aether Star Form]." RUMBLE! "[Ancient Blood Scion]." RUMBLE! "[Arch Demon Lord Transformation]." WAAA! "...[Madness Hegemony]." A ridiculous spamming of skills! Authorities, Transformations, and the most recently gained [Madness Hegemony] that transformed all the surroundings into a realm of Aether as it allowed the eruption of thousands of Portals of Terror that released Aether Rays which sought out their enemy! All of this went on to create for something wondrous. What was made was simply… It was simply magisterial!
