Aside from Valentina, there was also another being that had not seen, but instead sensed something instead when the attack began.
It was a being in the Elysian Universe- a devilishly handsome being that had a cold expression before all this as he talked to Hegemony Chronos that had confronted him with a shocking secret that should have not been privy to anyone but him.
At this moment, the Oathkeeper's gaze left Chronos briefly as he stared towards a certain location, his impassive gaze shining with a sharp light as he spoke out majestically.
"Someone is breaking the Oath."
THRUM!
The one who birthed the Dao of the Oathkeeper felt it the moment that the intent and action of Hegemony Dark Shadow was carried out, the location and the identity of the being responsible for it being shown to him right away as a shocking sequence of events was about to bloom!
"Dark Shadow...why?"
His gaze was somber as the action didn't make sense, the Hegemony Dark Shadow that had comprehended the unique Dao of Tenebrosity being someone that rarely made a move.
In the Primordial Cosmos, Oathkeeper had rarely seen this being make any movements or associate with any other Hegemonies, and that was why he carried a hint of confusion for what could have made this Hegemony act out against a being of the Lesser Realm!
Oathkeeper glanced back towards Chronos who seemed to have a puzzled look, the voice of this magnetic being ringing out.
"An Oath being broken? Now that is truly rare…"
"..."
Chronos had an impassive expression as he merely looked forward, the Oathkeeper's gaze remaining on this being as it didn't move!
Normally when an Oath was broken, he would be the first one to appear and question the Hegemony responsible if not stop them, but after the bombshell Chronos had dropped on knowing about his Cosmic Treasure, the Oathkeeper could not move out at this moment.
But the Dao of the Oathkeeper was taken very seriously as it was one of the few things establishing order in the Cosmos, So Oathkeeper sent a message to 3 Hegemonies that he thought would represent him- and ones that would move quickly once he made them move!
THRUM
Essence silently moved from his body as he sent a message.
At the same time, 3 Hegemonies that were in Universes sharing a border or close to the Animus Universe received a message from Oathkeeper.
"An Oath has been broken. The culprit is Dark Shadow. Contain him and find out why. The location is…"
…!
BOOOM!
The three Hegemonies receiving this information were shocked as they quickly moved, not bothering to ask why as they were strong allies of the Oathkeeper- simply moving quickly!
All of these events- the utterly black hand reaching out to Noah, Valentina making a move, the Oathkeeper making a move...all of them happened nearly instantaneously as the hand that had made the move first smashed onto Noah.
BOOOOM….RIP!
It was the strength of a Hegemony.
It was undeniable.
It was inescapable!
And yet…
"Hmmm?"
Dark Shadow's entire body manifested after his hand as he looked towards the creature that should have been crushed in his palm by the essence of the Cosmic Dao, but he only found a Dragon staring at him calmly!
A Tyrant Dragon staring at this Hegemony with eyes that were seemingly looking at his as if he was fool!
BZZZT!
Hegemony Dark Shadow squeezed again as he shockingly found it was like he held an indestructible rubber ball within his hands, where no matter what he did- an invisible layer existed on the Tyrant Dragon's body that he could not break through and destroy this being.
"This…"
A sharp look appeared on the powerful Hegemony's face when faced with this shocking development, but his gaze changed as he looked towards the space above him!
A second had passed.
Others had arrived.
"Disgraceful!"
BOOOM!
Clad in the essence of Annihilation, Valentina appeared in the space right above them as her slender hand reached out.
In the utter darkness, her hand was the only bright spot as it exerted pressure, the horrendous aura of the Hegemony and the darkness that had surrounded all the surrounding miles shattering just from her slender hand that struck down towards Dark Shadow!
Darkness was pushed away as everyone regained their sight, their eyes opened to observe the shocking scene of an oppressive dark phantom clasping tightly onto something within its hands, and then the slender figure of an incredible magisterial woman striking down again this figure with an expression of wrath that would cause anyone to shudder fearfully!
BZZZT!
The essence of two Cosmic Daos collided, Dark Shadow grasping onto his prime target within his hands as his figure melded into the folds of space and disappeared.
"Disgraceful creature!"
RUMBLE
The essence on the slender Valentina vibrated and descended down like tides as she locked on to the aura of this Hegemony and tore through the folds of space, giving chase even though it was against the one being known in the Primordial Cosmos for being the top assassin that could come and go anywhere as they wished due to their Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity!
RIIIP!
The moment they left, three more auras of Hegemonies tore through space and arrived in this location, scaring the hearts of the watching billions of the Bloodline Races as these Hegemonies looked towards the turbulent area of essence where they could still sense the raging essence of Hegemonies, their bodies also turning into streaks of light as they disappeared into the folds of space, giving chase as well!
"..."
Silence reigned across the battlefield.
All billions of beings looked forward in a stupor at what had just occurred, the minds of the 5 Bloodline Races turning jovial as they shockingly found the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor that was domineeringly killed their Paragons was actually targeted by a Hegemony.
"Haha!"
Paragon Klaus could not help but laugh mockingly at such a scene, but this laugh came to a stop in the next second as in his period of stupor and mocking, the jaws of a terrifying Draconic Progenitor silently arrived atop his head, shining with the might of two Cosmic Daos as they swallowed the mocking head of Klaus in a single gulp!
RUMBLE!
…!
The jovial feelings of the 5 Bloodline Races turned to incredulousness as they turned their eyes towards Tiamat, watching this Paragon tear apart the body of the Progenitor of the Nine-Tailed Foxes as her body erupted with immense power only slightly less than what the figure of the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor displayed before.
Unbeknownst to them, in the period of very few seconds that Noah was attacked and taken, he had infused his multiple clones into all of his 8 Animus Summons as at this moment, they would all carry shocking power that might not reach the power of the Primordial Ruination Clone, but it was more than enough for the remaining Paragons on the Battlefield!
ROAAAAR!
Tiamat roared out in a magisterial fashion after ripping apart a Progenitor of a Race moments after Hegemonies descended and took action against a Paragon! Her many eyes were swirling around the chaotic void as a terrifying voice that many beings thought was taken away came out of her.
It was the voice of the same Tyrant Dragon that should have been taken away and killed by a Hegemony.
"I told you all...even Hegemonies will not be able to save you."
…!!!
Shock!
Stupor!
Horror!
BOOOOM!
