Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 - Averted Fate

Noah’s face was that of smiles and enthusiasm as he accepted the gazes of the powerful Void Rank beings, but his heart was cold as a variety of thoughts continued to rise and fall. If he couldn’t achieve his objective of taking down this crazy powerful Athena currently, he would go the other path and start scheming!

She was extremely powerful right now that even with the insane abilities of the [Lesser Cthulhu], he wasn’t too confident in being able to kill her quickly and without leaving a trace for an uber powerful Celestial to come looking for him.

He needed to first get his hands on the Absolute Skill that would allow him to look past the shackles of a Spatial Lock if his enemies were ever to lay one on him, as well as even more skills similar to what the Vampyre Prince held that allowed for him to escape the detection of the Celestials!

So if he could not make any grand moves at this moment in time, he would scheme for now, and even get on their good side as he awaited for an opportunity to arise.

...

Unbeknownst to Noah, an opportunity outside of his wildest dreams would arrive soon enough.

Outside of the First Realm of Hell, the Celestial Grandmaster replayed the scenes of the battle that led to the ultimate death of the Aberration as mysterious golden lights coursed through his eyes.

His expectations for Athena were exceeded once again as she showed tremendous control and battle power over all the aspects of the fight. This was truly the lead disciple over the past few years, with very few holding a candle to her brilliance in the various Celestial Stars where they trained new disciples.

When his thoughts arrived at disciples, he briefly recalled his own disciple, Drax, that had fallen under the hands of the dead Infernal Aberration, as well as the other three disciples that died even earlier than him.

He only felt that it was a slight loss, but looking at the grander scheme of things, the disciples’ deaths were put to good use in this ordeal. Because of their sacrifices, they had successfully been able to stop the future advancement of an Infernal Aberration that held the qualifications to become an Infernal Lord in the future. This was a high achievement that would go on to prevent countless deaths and disorder that another rising Infernal Lord could have caused.

A few lives lost for the maintenance of order and livelihood of countless worlds was worth it in the Celestials’ eyes.

The Grandmaster still couldn’t solve the mystery as to why the first three deaths did not show him the Infernal, but he put this aside for now as he focused on the singular issue that the Celestial Star he was on had lost a significant number of disciples in this one mission, and it would not hurt to bring in suitable candidates to quickly fill up the gaps.
