Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 360 - A Vast Realm Unlike Any Other

”This is something that only the Grandmasters have knowledge of so far, but you two will be playing at the centermost position in the coming months that it is knowledge which you are cleared to have!”

The voice of the Grandmaster had a hint of solemnity as he began, both Noah and Athena sitting down respectfully in front of him as their eyes looked forward, hungry for information.

”Much of what I am about to tell you pertains to the Celestial Realm, a realm that is unique in our Novus Galaxy, and the place that allowed for our domination these past thousands of years. It is not our destructive Warsh.i.p.s that can destroy entire stars, nor is it our proficiency in understanding the Supreme Law of Fate- it is this place called the Celestial Realm that is the reason why we stand where we are today!”

Noahʼs heart shook as he heard these words, numerous thoughts crossing his mind as the solemn Grandmaster Vredral continued to speak in front of him.

”This is because everything we have...our weapons, our techniques that allow us to influence fate...all of this came from the Celestial Realm.”

RUMBLE!

A tremor ran through Noahʼs body as he listened with rapt attention while a Grandmaster that stood at the core of one of the Celestial Stars began revealing secrets out of his wildest dreams.

The Celestial Realm was something that a few powerful beings had found thousands of years ago, and it was these powerful figures that began to explore this realm and everything it held within it.

Their intrusion into this realm allowed for them to experience never before seen wonders, granting them unbelievable techniques and power out of their wildest imagination.

At the same time, they came to understand that it was extremely dangerous!

Among the few powerful figures that went into the Celestial Realm, only three managed to keep their lives after they delved too far within, their progress blocked by the very things that granted them techniques and immense ways to utilize mana that they never thought to be possible.

The things that made it possible for them to gain phenomenal strength while also causing the downfall of a few of them was what later came to be termed...Celestial Beasts!

At this juncture, the Grandmaster became silent as he looked at the two of them closely, seemingly arranging his thoughts before he continued.

”It is these Celestial Beasts that are among the many things you will be looking for when the time comes for the gates of the Celestial Realm to be opened. When the Founders encountered this first bottleneck that stopped their advances, they pulled back to the perimeters of the Celestial Realm to recuperate and absorb the treasures they had obtained, growing their power exponentially before they returned to carefully exploring the Celestial Realm for the next hundred years.”

The beings that Grandmaster Vredral called Founders were the powerhouses that stood at the top of the power known as the Celestials!

They spent more than one hundred years after breaking into the Celestial Realm as they explored the wonders within it, as well as the numerous dangers it held. In the 99th year of their exploration, they came across a particular area where they almost lost their lives, but with the danger passed, they were rewarded with a set of techniques that made them who they are today.

It was in this 99th year since they began exploring the Celestial Realm that the founders came across the techniques dealing with the Law of Fate that would go on to allow them to rapidly increase in power, going on to dominate an entire region of the vast Novus Galaxy they were from as their exploration of the Celestial Realm only continued at a rapid speed.

With their obtainment of these powerful techniques, they understood that to utilize them to their fullest, the users had to have a tremendous amount of influence on many beings. The more numerous and the more powerful the better!

”Our founders looked upon the boon they received as they put it to use for the betterment of the Novus Galaxy they were in, going on to study the law of fate and use it to establish a reign seeking Order and Balance.”

Grandmaster Vredral finished these words with a profoundly respectful tone as his eyes were lost in thought. Noah was absorbing all of this new information as he filtered out the enormous levels of bias and possible lies from the Grandmaster, realizing that the thing that prompted the Celestialʼs quest for power and domination was simply these techniques and treasures that they obtained from this Celestial Realm.

It wasnʼt some inborn need to reduce the natural order of chaos that everything was going towards, it was because the techniques they trained in required for them to have an overwhelming amount of influence on numerous beings that they chose to expand their power under the name of Order and Balance!

The power they continued to gain over the years...all of it actually went back to this Celestial Realm as they continued to explore it all this time. The Grandmaster returned to the present as his eyes focused on Noah and Athena, continuing to release huge secrets that very few were privy to.

”In the thousands of years that followed, the Founders created the power that came to be known as Celestials, expanding their influence and recruiting more qualified forces as the years passed.”

”In the 1523rd year of exploration of the Celestial Realm, a few newly recruited Celestials came across treasures that you all are familiar with currently- the technology known as the Prime Warsh.i.p.s and even more phenomenal weapons that you all have yet to see. But what I want you two to realize is that all of this was made possible solely because of the Celestial Realm. What is the most shocking thing though, is that in the years that followed until this very day, the percentage of this Realm that we have been able to explore and map out...has not passed 10%!”

…!
