Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 509 Love!

Love!

During the War of the Righteous, Inuit had actually fallen in love, and it was one of the major reasons for the rift that occurred thereafter!

”It was a unique being that joined the War after some time, a being that actually came from the Ancient Races of beings in the Letalis Expanse. It was the person that you actually carry the bloodline of right now...the Vampyre Progenitor.”

A forlorn and longing look appeared on Old Man Inuitʼs face as he spoke out, Noahʼs eyes nearly bulging out as he asked while surprised.

”How? You were both on opposing sides…”

”I met her on the battlefield and fell in love on the battlefield. I used my skills in the Law of Fate and Karma to discern that my future lied with her...but even I was wrong.”

Yes! Even though fate led him towards the Vampyre Progenitor, it was not to grant him a happy life with a being he could be happy with, but it was simply the hands of fate steering events to a certain direction as even someone that had millions of Fate Lines like Inuit read his Fate wrong!

”Aldrich very soon found my connection with her, with Anna...and he wrathfully set out to extinguish this being that he considered to have made his friend weak.”

”She showed me a different world, a different path to follow that was not just for the sake of power and conquest. I looked at her as my future, so when Aldrich set out to destroy it...I fought back.”

During the War of the Righteous, a rift had occurred between the leaders of Celestials that nobody knew of, a rift that resulted in one of the Founders being pitted against another, a rift that eventually went on to cause the death of the Vampyre Progenitor!

”He moved to target Anna and her forces as they rested from a recent battle, and I arrived just in time to stop him from taking her life. But at that point, she had suffered severe injuries that had damaged her Origin too greatly, and I saw the fate of death soon coming for her.”

As he spoke, glistening tears fell from the sunken eyes of this formerly powerful being had his gaze lost in time as he thought back to a long forgotten era!

He had held off Aldrich as the Vampyre Progenitor went to go find safety, eventually returning to the Ancient Blood World as her forces faced defeat after defeat thereafter, some surrendering in the Light Expanse as others retreated into the Dark Expanse.

In the Ancient Blood World, she had used her remaining Origin to set up the Inheritance of her bloodline, the few remaining Royal Vampyres being able to come into the world to awaken bloodlines of Vampyres for the future.

”Even as she spent the rest of her days thinking of her Race, I could not be with her as it was this time that Aldrich saw my heart was completely set on something else, and he saw this as a great betrayal as he actually went on to shatter the source of my power...directly injuring my Origin as he stripped me of all my Fate Lines, and all of my power.”

”...”

A somber silence came between them as Noah processed these words, hearing the terrible power of the Founder, Aldrich, who had simply shattered the power of someone at the same rank as him and then kept them as a prisoner for hundreds of years!

”He was ruthless, cold, but most of all calculating. He would not allow anything to stand on his path, and he became even more isolated after Fritz, the only other friend between the three of us- saw what he had done.”

”Near the end of the War when we witnessed the terrible power of the Terror, one of the beings that rules over the Letalis Expanse that gave me my Anna...this was when Fritz ended up leaving Aldrich as well.”

At the end of the War of the Righteous, the three Founders of the Celestials were no more as one was stripped of all their power and jailed to a certain star, another became disillusioned on their mission and left to do what his heart desired, and the only one that remained was Aldrich- the one currently known as the only Founder!

The defeat of the Celestials by the hands of the Terror in the last war dealt heavy tolls, but Aldrich only grew stronger from it as his mission was now all that existed, and he would stop at nothing to achieve it.

During all of this time, Old Man Inuit remained bound and chained on the 7th Celestial Star, where for hundreds of years he was searching for a way...a way to achieve the dream of peace that Anna, the Vampyre Progenitor- had told him!

”It was only a few decades ago when I began hearing whispers of a name in the river of fate which I then connected to the Law of Karma, and I was able to get a few distinct clues of the rising of a being that could make a dying dream a possibility.”

The gaze of Old Man Inuit glanced deeply at Noah when he reached this point, his eyes that looked to be filled with pain and wisdom locking with Noahʼs eyes as he continued.

”I tried to gleam of this bright future and saw many ways it could be snuffed out, and I used whatever remained of my power to try and steer it towards the proper direction. Saving you in the Lost World, guiding you to the World of Cultivation, the journey from there that led you to the Infernal Realm…”

Old Man Inuit continued to talk more and more as Noah continued to listen gravely, the sequence of events being too wondrous to follow as he continued!

From the Lost World to the World of Cultivation and then into the Infernal Realm, to then being noticed by Celestials as he came upon the same star that Old Man Inuit was chained in...until where he was right now!

There were many steps, but they all seemed to be leading to a singular destination.

Was this...fate?!

Noah thought deeply as Old Man Inuit continued.

”I tried my best to steer fate in towards the optimum result, giving you some techniques and treasures that I thought would be of use, even advising to be careful of women and love as it was exactly what brought me to my current fate.”

”Sometimes I was right, other times I was wrong. Some advice I gave you and you didnʼt even need it, even some items that you have yet to use to get to the stage youʼre currently at.”

Old Man Inuit was stroking his beard mysteriously as he let out a light laugh, Noah waving his hand as he looked at [Lawful Nourishment] that he had received from Inuit in the World of Cultivation.

The treasure also had the attribute of increasing the comprehension of universal laws, and he was already refining Soul Jades in the Spiritual World as he planned to layer the uses of this treasure to the vibrant Law Spaces and many more things.

”This is the problem with Fate...we can only be right about it so many times! But ultimately, here we are. Here you are.”

The gaze of Old Man Inuit was bright as he looked at Noah.

”A grand fate awaits you...but only if you seek it and fight for it! Though Iʼm sure youʼll know this soon enough as your comprehension in the Law of Fate increases.”

Noah put away the glimmering pendant in his hands as he looked at the old man, many thoughts coursing through his mind as the meeting that unveiled many secrets continued!
