<Welcome to the Cycle of Life and Death, of Defenders and Invaders!>
<You have chosen the side of the Defenders as your goal is to prevent the Dimensional Rifts that Invaders will use as means to enter your Worlds, Realms, Galaxies, Universes, Cosmos, and your Reality.>
<In all Worlds, Realms, Galaxies, Universes, and Cosmos, there exists a Defender Obelisk that has to be protected at all cost against the Invaders. The more Defender Obelisks falling under your banner of protection, the more Apocalypse Points you shall receive. The more Invaders you kill, the more Apocalypse Points you shall receive. If all of these Defender Obelisks fall, the Defender Reality Obelisk will rise as if it is destroyed under the hands of the Invaders- the Cycle shall end!>
…!
<The Dimensional Rifts are the means of descending for the Invaders as if they are not cleared multiple times and destroyed, a Rift Break will occur as the Dimensional Rifts shall instead be transformed into Invader Obelisks that act as a gateway Invaders have to protect. If all Dimensional Rifts or gateways of Invader Obelisks are destroyed, the Invader Reality Obelisk will rise as if it is destroyed under the hands of Defenders- the Cycle shall end!>
Multiple prompts rained down before Noah's eyes as his essence wrapped around him tightly to prevent the cold winds ranging about, his eyes being introduced to many more things about Defenders as his current location was shown in the corner of his eyes as well as an enormous map that showed many Defender Obelisks and Dimensional Rifts that had began to pulse with Invaders about to rush out.
<Current location: Frozen Wasteland Galaxy. Identity: Wasteland Guard under the banner of the Wasteland King who protects the Defender Obelisk of the Frozen Wasteland Galaxy…>
The part where other beings gained an edge showed itself now as those who bought perks and identities would have them at this moment, with Noah's identity being a mere Wasteland Guard as an existence that bought an important Perk woke up as the King of this entire Galaxy, with those at the Second and Third Firmament being out in charge of defending the Obelisks of Universes and entire Cosmos!
Noah was barely in the first Firmament as he was clustered like many others in this group in the stage of Galaxies, with those in the Second Firmament being put to defend things at the scale of a Universe as the most powerful beings at the Third Firmament oversaw the Cosmos. Of course, it worked in a similar manner to the Invaders who were contained in Dimensional Rifts and about to break out at any moment.
"Move you fools, move! Look at the illusory map and go to the nearest Dimensional Rift to clear it. Clearing one three times will grant you many Apocalypse Points as the gateway gets erased permanently!"
…!
The other beings with the identities of Wasteland Guards were already moving hurriedly as they had information of the workings of Cycles beforehand or had already been here more than once.
Many beings that couldn't afford any perks scrambled to start moving and gain an edge over others as unlike them, there were others with terrific perks of something like Reincarnator that gave them glimpses of memories of what would happen in the future, there were those who obtained perks relating to destiny that would always steer them to the best results…and many more as the most terrifying was an existence like the Solaris Simian who had apparently taken the Ultimate Perk of a Telos Bloodline.
So how could the dredges of beings that were at the First Firmament compete and become distinguished when terrifying existences such as the Simian Solaris were there?!
Well, some beings had unique means as they relied on their very own secretive Bloodlines or power. Then…there was Noah Eckert.
OOOOM!
His surroundings began to tremble and fluctuate as he rose from the freezing ground and stared at the cold winds all around him, his body beginning to release dense obsidian smoke that shone mesmerizingly with the blank whiteness around him!
"Rise."
OOOM!
From this smoke, tendrils of power echoed out as the auras of countless beings began to roar out and appear, many of them being Undead Primordial Beasts as at their helm were two terrifying Enders of Reality, their bodies surrounded by arcs of billowing darkness!
CAAA!
Terrifying cries bloomed as all around Noah, countless Undead began to rise up as their eyes shone with a menacing light as their targets…were actually the rising Defenders waking up and trying to head to the nearest Dimensional Rift.
…!
Noah's eyes shone with coldness and callousness as this was his own unique method to quickly coming to match the powerful Third Firmament existences in this cycle…where he planned to treat Defenders and Invaders the same as he subjugated and made all of them into Undead under his banner!
The Defenders could go and clear the Rifts, sure- but why not have them clear them while Subjugated to him? They would be even more powerful under him as after he got his will around the Defenders, he would then use them to demolish the Invaders Rift after Rift as they were all added to Idle Mode and ultimately…he wanted every single existence in this Cycle of Apocalypse under him!
RUMBLE!
Everyone from the First Firmament to the Third Firmament, from the weakest Bloodline to the strongest Cardinal Royal Bloodline of even the Primordials that were participating.
Their Edicts, Ascendancy Halos, Genes…Noah wanted it all as at this moment, his Undead Army rose in fervor while pouncing out towards the nearest First Firmament existence!
One by one, he would tackle them and add them to his Legions.
When he gained 10, 20, or even over a 100 First Firmament existences all working synchronously under his orders? He would have the Defender Obelisks of this entire Galaxy and then Universe in a matter of time as he would form an army of both Defenders and Invaders for his cause!
