Chapter 573: Are you sure? Now?

Many times throughout history, events that are otherwise uncontrollable occur.

When such events occur, all that someone can control is how they react to them!

Currently, an unexpected and uncontrollable event where the Founder of Celestials, Aldrich, had actually appeared on the battlefield at the Verittas Fortress occurred. His entrance was a grand one that announced his power for all to see, releasing a single attack that pulverized a creature that had given the image of terror to all those watching.

Many beings were still in a state of shock as not a single figure moved the second after Aldrich's arrival. The eyes of this being were currently locked on to two figures- the golden winged Aether Star Form that was Noah's main body, as well as the devilishly handsome second clone that was standing with a cold expression while staring back!

The man he locked eyes on with an unwilling expression was a genuine expert at the Nebula Realm, a realm where one forged numerous stars within their Origin as they expanded into a Nebula!

Such a realm had varying levels of power, where a new expert that had just broken through could be defeated with a being that had been in the same Nebula Rank with a single move- just as long as they had been cultivating in that realm for many more years.

So even on the same level, there could be huge gaps in strength as one being could only have 3 Stars forged within their Origin, while an older one could have 20 Stars that were backing their strength!

This realm made it so that anyone ranked lower could not even begin imagining the possibility of matching those in the Nebula Realm, and yet now...Noah was looking at such a being with an unwilling expression. His eyes were cold as many thoughts came and went, multiple options opening themselves up to him as to what path he could take as he saw Aldrich raise his hand.

RUMBLE!

The first attack of this being had decimated his first clone, and he now made a move to release another without so much so as a word!

"Brother. Please, stop."

WAA!

It was at this moment though, that a tired voice rang out across the expanse of space, an aged figure materializing from particles of light not too far from Aldrich!

This newly appearing being did not release any ounce of energy, yet the eyes of Aldrich that locked onto him had their light of wrath and madness slightly dim as his raised hand came down, his gaze reluctantly shifting entirely to this new being.

"You...abandoning me for so long and only appearing to get in my way again?"

Aldrich's cold voice rang out as shockingly, another being at the Nebula Realm descended! This time, it was the third Founder that had just returned from seeking out a Terror in the Letalis Expanse, a tired being that released an expression of helplessness and sorrow anytime you looked at him.

RUMBLE!

But this wasn't all as a second later, multiple more auras at the Nebula Realm descended madly, many lower-ranked being losing consciousness and beginning to float in the expanse of space as others nearly felt like their bodies were folding within themselves!

The rarest beings in the Novus Galaxy, those that stood at the highest realm of power that anybody had achieved in this galaxy- five had shockingly appeared in this one central location.

The newly appearing figures were led by an astonishingly gorgeous woman, brilliantly shining white hair and blue eyes making her stand out like a sore thumb as she wore a white robe. She appeared right in front of the 200 miles long Aether Star Form of Noah's main body, her gaze cold as she stared at Aldrich.

Near her, the two other figures had red and black crowns above their heads as their bodies outlandishly and freely released their power at the Nebula Realm. If someone knowledgeable looked at the newly appearing figures, they would be able to ascertain with stupor that it was the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lords!

The moment that Aldrich made his appearance on the battlefield, their figures came a second behind the third Founder Fritz. Their gazes were filled with coldness as they stared at Aldrich, a unique sense of strength and oppression spreading out at this moment.

Aldrich took in all of these changes as he looked away from his old friend and towards the three most powerful Infernal Lords that were now protecting a particular figure, his eyes regaining the light of apathy as the wrath and madness were hidden within!

"I see."

RUMBLE!

He said these words as his body began to erupt with power, a pillar of golden light erupting and shooting out around him in a cylindrical manner.

"So this is the new puppet."

WAA!

Each of his words only caused a spike in the aura he released as it caused any nearby beings to madly begin to run away, this aura so overpowering that they felt their souls would be injured if they remained close by!

As he was faced with four Nebula Realm experts, Alrich actually didn't back down as his eyes blazed with strength!

"Are you sure you want to do this now?"

"..."

At this time, the crystal clear voice coming from the 1st Infernal Lord rang out, her head turning to the side as she asked in a quizzical manner while staring towards Aldrich.

"Brother."

In front of him, the Third Founder Fritz called out towards him again as all he received were cold eyes, a stand-off occurring in the battlefield near the Verittas Fortress as these shocking figures of power remained still!

Aldrich's eyes honed in towards each of these beings as he measured his options, once again feeling the unfairness of it all as his heart strengthened even more.

WAA!

His power began to retract as the enormous cylinder of golden light reduced, his voice ringing out as he locked eyes with the being closest to him.

"Out of everything, your cowardice is still what stands out the most, Brother."

Fritz's shoulders shook at these words, a sorrowful expression appearing on his face as he looked towards Aldrich who had begun moving his fingers towards the remaining Star Forging Celestial behind him and the many Celestials still remaining across the battlefield, sparks of golden light appearing on their bodies.

When Noah saw these sparks of light appearing on Celestials, his second clone teleported to a bloodstained Athena who was looking forth with a troubled expression as he placed his hands on her, his essence beginning to cover her head to toe in case this energy that Aldrich released even came near her.

The Founder only glanced at this change briefly as his eyes locked on with the figure of Athena for less than a second, seemingly choosing that this being was well below his required attention for now as he continued.

"Four against one, and you still believe you are in the right."

Aldrich's voice now addressed the four Nebula Realm being opposing him as a golden light began to appear on the bodies of the Celestials he pointed to, the shocking scenes continuing one after another in the starry expanse near the Verittas Fortress.
