Chapter 522 - The Witches Layer
Across the vastness of space, numerous Prime Warsh.i.p.s tore through as they steadily left the boundaries of the Light Expanse.
The sh.i.p.s were designed exquisitely, having a golden exterior that released a bright glow that illuminated the surroundings. On the vessel at the very forefront, Noah was supplying his energy to proceed further towards the Dark Expanse, the Legion he led actually nearing the junction between the two Expanses of the Novus Galaxy.
The moment he passed through the junction and entered the Dark Expanse, his legion would meet the forces that were defending this particular area. From his knowledge, his Legion would be coming in contact with a defensive location called Witches Layer, a collection of three stars near each other where a powerful force of Witches and Mages resided.
It was another location similar to the Verittas Fortress but at a lower level, its defenses being reinforced constantly as it was one of the first locations closest to the border of the two Expanses.
RUMBLE!
The many Prime Warsh.i.p.s in his Legion continued forward as he carried the force of being slightly over 200,000. Around one-sixth of this force was Celestials, the vast majority remaining were the beings from numerous Prime Worlds of Light Expanse. He was at the forefront of this Legion that was about to lay siege on beings that just wanted to defend themselves, and the choice of movements he had were few and far between!
For his identity as a Celestial Commander, would he be carrying out bloody massacres on the beings living in the Dark Expanse? Would he stand against the Vampyres that were already labeled as his subordinates and destroy the Infernals that his clone led? There would be many questions that would plague a being with multiple identities as they tried to keep them all under wraps, but for Noah...this would not be an issue!
His gaze was calm as he felt the change into the Dark Expanse, his sh.i.p.s piercing through as they soon neared a collection of three enormous stars a few hundred miles away. Even with many questions that would plague another being on how to solve such an issue, he already had a plan in mind that would allow him to move without problems, and it would not turn him into the same tyrants he was working against.
First, one had to think about the subjects of deaths in this war. No matter what Noah did at this moment, there were hundreds of Celestial Legions making their way towards numerous defensive positions of the Dark Expanse, and the conflict coming out of this would cause deaths in the hundreds of thousands daily!
He knew that many beings in the Light Expanse and the Dark Expanse would die, and he would not be able to change this. He knew that Vampyres will die, Celestials will die, and there was even a possibility of his own people being hurt in this war.
Even though he could not stop the overall stage of this conflict currently, he could still control the deaths of the beings in the battles he was involved in at this moment. Thus, he had made a plan for how Commander Crixus would act when he faced the forces of the Dark Expanse, and he wanted to make sure that those innocent would not face death from his hands.
Although all of this still remained as a plan in his mind, he still had to wait and see the feasibility of it all when the time came!
At this point, his gaze became cold and apathetic as he freely turned on the effects of [Unique Being] to his main body, the area around him actually become a few degrees colder as even the Celestials and the Righteous Fire Exploration Team that was on the ship he controlled looked towards him with shining eyes.
They could sense the signs of life in front of them as their bodies began boiling with strength as well. In their minds, they were coming to bring order and balance into these lands of savages, beings that continued to cause chaos wantonly across the Novus Galaxy.
They were here as saviors, beings that actually came to liberate those in the Dark Expanse and show them a better way of living, a way through order and balance that would allow them to prosper and leave behind their savage ways!
But to do this, they had to first battle them and tear through their defenses before they could achieve their goals. So as they headed towards the forces of the Dark Expanse, they only felt a righteous light and reasoning as they prepared to clash.
WAA!
The Prime Warsh.i.p.s began slowing down as the scene in front of them changed from the void of space, twinkling lights coming in front of them as the three stars that made up Witches Layer shone brightly in the starry space.
All around the 3 planets, numerous dots of light that counted up to hundreds of thousands of beings floating in the void of space could be seen, with billions more dwelling within the planets themselves.
Strong expressions could be seen on the beings defending their homes as they looked forward, numerous spells already cast on their side as tens of thousands of Elementals floated fiercely in the void of space. Elementals of all elements and sizes permeated throughout as they released a strong aura, Noah looking across the beings in front of the stars as his gaze remained cold.
He only found them to be Mages and Wizards, the reinforcements of Vampyres having not arrived at this location as they judged the significant collection of Mages and Wizards on this Witches Layer would be enough to withstand against a Celestial Legion.
In front of Noah's eyes, he counted three World Rank Experts among the forces defending Witches Layer, this location not being as important as the Verittas Fortress where 7 World Rank beings from the Celestials had attacked and it had the defenses of an Infernal Lord and 3 other World Rank Experts.
This was also the reason why Noah's Celestial Legion was sent here, it was because this was meant to be his first battle as Commander Crixus where he would be faced with three beings at the World Rank as the opposing leaders, those at the top wanting to see exactly how genius his talent was!
OOOH!
His cold eyes glanced at the opposing forces of Dark Expanse as roars began to ring out from his Legion, the Celestials having bright faces as they looked towards the beings defending The Witches Layer like a pack of wolves.
