<h4>Chapter 977 - What is a Paragon? I</h4>


    After a certain stage, abilities cast by certain beings start to affect things on a horrifying scale.


    A simple [Fireball] cast by an F Rank Hunter and a [Fireball] cast by a Great Sage would be vastly different in power on what they could produce, and this same thought applied to the skills Noah was using currently as he reached the rank of a Paragon!


    The 100 Billion Gxies that swam rapidly within his Origin shone with a glimmer of light every time that a skill was cast, the might of this Origin disyed with every cast as the moment that [Apocalypse] and ||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust|| finished being cast, the Legion in front of Noah became faced with something utterly inconceivable!


    RUMBLE!


    The nearby surroundings turned tumultuous as the chaotic void became unstable, deadly elemental essence and destructive Dao Essense of all types that Noahprehended emerging out as the instability of space made it seem like everything was about to shatter ande to an end- it was [Apocalypse].


    But the even more frightening thing was thetter cast skill, ||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust||!


    With the cast of this skill, it felt like the chaotic void had a roof that had descended down and was putting its weight on their backs, every single being within the region feeling unexinable might crushing down unto them as if they couldn''t defend themselves...the result was a horrifying one!


    A skill that made it seem like the wight of the entire chaotic void was crushing onto your body from all sides!


    RUMBLE!


    When these beings tried to withstand the horrifying weight of ||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust||, they found their resistancesting only a single second for the weaker ones and just a few seconds for the Great Sages...before their bodies could not defend against the annihtory essence of the ability that was now backed by two Cosmic Daos and the strength of a Paragon!


    If they could not defend themselves, it would naturally be as the skill was titled!


    WAAA!


    The eyes of many beings turned towards Noah''s direction as they felt an inexplicable chill, their eyesnding just in time to see this Tyrant Dragon Emperor domineeringly gaze upon a Legion as the body of the Golden Cyclops Paragon with it trembled, but the bodies of all those below him...began fading away in a terrifying manner as their skin and bones became ash.


    Ash!!!


    RUMBLE!


    Arge number of Sages and Entities, hundreds of Great Sages and 4 Monarchs...their bodies simply looked out towards the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor in despair as they found their origins dissipating as they turned to mere ash and dust in the next second!


    ||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust||!


    At the mere end of it all, time would affect all things- and Noah had truly caused the life essence of all those under the area of the skill''s effect to age until they turned to ash!


    Ah!


    Those watching felt a tingling sensation as even when the Golden Cyclops Paragon looked around it to find the area where the Legion he led should be...was empty.


    Deep terror welled up within this Paragon as his body glimmered, yet even he could not escape as Chains of Annihtion even faster than it wrapped around him, the icy figure of the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor descending unto it!

    The expressions of the Paragons of the 5 enemy Bloodline Races was utterly gloomy at such a show of power from a being that had recently advanced to the rank of a Paragon, the one known as Paragon us seeing this shocking scene at the corner of his eyes as he bellowed out to the other Paragons on his side.


    "Do not let that Tyrant Dragon Paragon reign free any longer….otherwise we will not be able to bear the casualties! Swarm him!"


    OOOOH!


    He released a loud bellow of amand as the sized Tiamat he faced wrathfully spat out beams of destructive essence from her ten heads, this Nine-Tailed Fox Race Paragon not even being able to take his eyes off of her for a second!


    As for the Paragons who heard his words and didn''t have opponents...they gritted their teeth as all of them began to rush towards the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor.


    But even therger number of Paragons didn''t seem enough as at this moment, the strength that the Paragons of the 4 Bloodline Races disyed had be simply horrifying as they were the ones who had sworn to be Vassals!


    When they faced enemy Paragons, they were dominating the pace of the battle as they shockingly found themselves to be gaining the upper hand! The Vassals at the stages of Sage and Great Sage showed an even more drastic increase in strength as the mere 5% of power they could borrow from the being they swore Fealty to at this moment was something others of the same rank could not handle!


    So even though they had many more Legions and experts, the 5 Bloodline Races found themselves facing heavy losses just seconds after the battle began!


    It was all due to the strength of Vassals!


    Noah''s very own subordinates thundered down towards these Legions as scenes of them and others who were Vassals of the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor were imprinted in the minds of every single being in the allied 4 Bloodline Races who then recalled the call of fealty that many of them answered.


    It was at this time point that those who did not answer the call of fealty and were seeing the tremendous strength of those who did answer the call disy...it was at this time that they called out to the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor and willingly pledged themselves!


    "I swear Fealty…!"


    RUUMBLE!


    Storms of essence raged as among the billions of powerful beings in the Legions under the influence of the Hegemony of Summoning, the rest of them pledging to be Vassals as the Universal War became even more chaotic.


    A glorious scene of over ten Paragon who glimmered with glorious and powerful light, each of them swarming with Manifested Gxies...all of these powerhouses were like spears of light thundering towards a single Tyrant Dragon that looked over everything with a gaze of exceeding coldness.


    A gaze that subjugated all of them to death as within the area of this chaotic void, only ash and dust would remain everywhere this Tyrannical Dragon Emperor gazed down upon!


    For this war to determine the direction of the Animus Universe...unimaginable events would unfold as they would be the springboard to affect not just this single Universe, but the course of multiple Universes!
