Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse Chapter 496 Kneel!

Chapter 496 Kneel!

The Grand Mage Edrusim had already stopped watching the feed of the Verittas Fortress as he continued to be increasingly busy, numerous communications reaching him as he sent back even more commands to start getting the forces of the Dark Expanse ready.
He was in the middle of glancing at an enormous Star Chart which outlined the numerous stars littering the Dark Expanse, observing how he could possibly move the forces and their distribution in order to withstand the coming legions of Celestials.
He was one of the key figures who had to work and communicate with the Infernal Lords, know the movements of the clans of Vampyres, as well as manage the Mages and Wizards that were spread out across the Dark Expanse.
He was extremely busy after watching this first battle, and it was why his mood turned extremely sour when he received the news that in the Verittas Fortress where the battle had just wrapped up, the leading figure of Vampyres, Vladivostok, had appeared to confront the 9th Infernal Lord!
"You fool, you better not sow discord right at the cusp of a war!"
He uttered out as he also recalled the abilities he had observed from the Infernal Lord that seemed extremely similar to those from the Vampyre Clans, but he did not think they would be something major that would cause this being at the Star Forging Realm to move.
"Bah, watch things here, I'll be right back."
He sent a command to the Commanding Mages around him as his figure shimmered with the color of stars, disappearing from the Mage Tower as he also now went towards the Verittas Fortress, hoping that one of the leading figures of the Dark Expanse would not sour the relationships between the Infernal Lords!
---
The three World Rank experts from the Verittas Fortress looked towards the appearing Vampyre Ruler, Vladivostok, as their eyes opened wide in shock!
The peak Star Forging Realm being at the cusp of entering the ultimate realm in the Novus Galaxy had actually made himself appear in front of them, with his attention directed towards the brightly shining Infernal Lord.
They recalled the numerous skills that this fearsome being had displayed on the battlefield as they made some connections, watching to see exactly what hidden mysteries were about to unfold.
But they would not get a chance to, as they tensed while observing the Infernal Lord not send a single word of reply, his expression calm as if nothing had happened while he glanced at Vladivostok!
A trace of anger seemed to appear on the Star Forging being's face, but he tried not to show it as he had to first get to the bottom of why this Infernal Lord had the abilities of Ancient Vampyres.
Vladivostok glanced at Rokku who was standing by the side awkwardly, his face shaking at this behavior as he glanced at the other World Rank beings by the side watching on in anticipation. He waved his hands and cast forth a [Blood World] to make sure whatever mystery he was about to uncover remains hidden, the expanding bloody domain going on to cover him and the figure of the Infernal Lord who still had not made a single move or uttered any words!
OOOM!
Those in the surroundings watched as a Blood World fully encased the newly arriving ruler of Vampyres as well as the Infernal Lord, whatever anticipation for them finding out the mysteries shattered as their senses could not even penetrate to see what was happening within.
Inside the blood world, Vladivostok spoke once again, this time with a more firm tone as he recalled the levels of power between him and this Infernal Lord.
"I do not intend to cause any conflicts with the Infernals, and am only curious about the abilities that only our Ancestors knew that you have freely displayed. This is especially so because of your...unique Origin that I had to come."
His words were not looking down in any way as he knew the status of an Infernal Lord and what it signified, but he was still talking in manner of a senior talking to a junior because of their levels of power!
Noah glanced at this being at the Star Forging Realm as he actually adopted a light smile. This was because when he stared at this powerful being a rank above him...he actually felt not even an ounce of threat.
This was because his bloodline, his very origin- told him that this being was considered nothing more than another Vampyre in the eyes of the one holding the bloodline of the Progenitor!
One must recall that this was the Ruler overseeing the faction of Vampyres in the entirity of the Dark Expanse! This was a Star Forging Realm expert, someone that was a step away from the highest realm that anybody had achieved in the Novus Galaxy...
Noah glanced at the Vampyre that was the central figure of the numerous Vampyre Clans in the Dark Expanse as he spoke out calmly.
"You come in front of me and do not even acknowledge me, nor do you show the respect of a junior to their Senior. Are you looking to be stripped of all your power and strength?"
"...!"
Vladivostok had a startled expression as he heard ones he never expected, turning his head to the side as he wanted to confirm he heard correctly- his face gaining a trace of anger thereafter as he now spoke out while freely releasing his vibrant power.
"I have been nothing but polit-"
"Do not speak."
RUMBLE!
In the middle of his sentence, Vladivostok was cut off as he heard the words of the 9th Infernal Lord once more, but this time around, they actually held a tinge of authority...authority that actually caused his mouth to unconsciously close!
…!
His heart shook as at this moment as he wanted to speak, but he found he was unable to! At this instant, his mind moved at extremely high speeds as he was being guided towards a shocking and terrifying conclusion as his eyes dilated more and more while he looked at the figure of the 9th Infernal Lord.
To him, an aura had begun leaking out of the being in front of him, an aura that made his very origin shake as a thought arrived in his mind that told him the truth, but he still could not believe it as his mind felt like it was exploding!
Noah moved closer and closer to the Vampyre Ruler as he floated until he was just a few inches from his face, glancing towards him with cold eyes as he understood the bloodline system of the Vampyres was really absolute. This being with a rank higher than him, could actually not do a single thing to harm him! He glanced at the shaking eyes as he spoke out with a tone befitting the ruling figure of a certain race, causing the shock of Vladivostok to only increase thereafter.
"Kneel."
RUMBLE!
A simple word, a single command.
THUD!
Even though they were in the starry and dark void of space, the sound akin to someone's knees hitting the floor resounded as Vladivostok's body involuntarily kneeled, his thoughts finally being affirmed as the eyes of this Star Forging Being looked up towards the red glistening eyes of someone extremely special to the race of Vampyres!
"Kneel, and properly welcome your Progenitor."
…!
