A titanous Demonic Lich Emperor with a flaming crimson skull.
This was the image that the 20 Paragons that had ingested the Origin Essence of the Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos saw as all their eyes focused on it.
The 7 that were battling the Sins momentarily lost their focus as some suffered injuries, the three that were around the Demonic Lich Emperor feeling his aura the closest as the 10 that had stayed behind to summon Legions of undead also felt it very clearly!
They felt an aura...that was no less than theirs.
…!
This naturally caused some heavy feelings to rise deep in the hearts of these Undead Paragons, the reality that a being had naturally reached the same stage of power that they reached through their own sheer strength alone- not having to do what they did and become Incarnations of another existence.
They weren't fools. These Paragons had lived for too many years, and even with the influence of the Dao of Necromancy that the Hegemony of Necromancy used when he gave them the Origin Essence for them to absorb, it was still their choice to do in the end..
First, they believed in themselves and their power, thinking that their origin would be able to handle the essence of a Hegemony if it was just a small portion of it.
Second was the fact that they knew sooner or later...the Tyrannical Lich Emperor that had its forces conquer over half of the Necrotic Universe would make its way towards them as well. When that time came, they would have to choose to either face eternal death or pledge their fealty to another being!
Instead of this...they chose another path as they ingested the origin essence for even greater strength, only for them to find out they truly were not able to handle this power within their Origins, and that in a matter of time, eternal death would come for them.
This was the price they had to pay to achieve a level of power no other Paragons could even dream of!
Yet…
RUMBLE!
The aura that the Demonic Lich Emperor released was no less than theirs, the flames within the sockets of these 20 Paragons waving somberly as they wondered.
Just how was he so different from them? What did he do differently that even without sacrificing his life, he could reach the same power as them?
No answer came.
Spatial essence wrapped around the figure of the Demonic Lich Emperor as he disappeared from the 3 Undead Paragons that were surrounding him, his terrific aura appearing behind the 10 Undead Paragons that had stayed behind to raise entire Undead Legions.
His flaming skeletal head seemed to forcefully pull the attention of all beings towards him as it held a sense of regality, his figure appeared in the middle of the vast armies of billions that the 10 Paragons had summoned, his voice coming out calmly.
"Let me measure the resolve of the beings that have subjected themselves to eternal death."
THRUM!
His hand that was wrapped with steel forged muscle pointed towards them as his finger beckoned for them to come, the flames on his head blazing calmly.

"I won't be lifting a finger. I'll just see what one can achieve by taking the easy way out and ingesting the Origin of a Hegemony."
WAA!
His words seemed to pierce into the only things that these Undead Paragons cared about now, their Origins flaring out with power as the Origin Essence they ingested churned out madly. Anger rose within the hearts of the Paragons that knew death was coming for them, the words of the Demonic Lich Emperor making them rush towards him as their bodies lit up with the essence of Chronos and Extinction!
Even the 7 that were facing the Sins had tried to bypass them and attack the majestic looking titanous Demonic Lich Emperor, but their enemies gave them no leeway as only 13 Undead Paragons made a beeline towards Noah.
The 3 Primal Winged Undead Emperors and the 10 Undead Lich Emperors all burned with power as their bodies lit up bright red and purple, 13 magisterial clocks appearing behind each of them as a bubble of purple clocks was soon created in the surrounding miles.
The clocks rotated wondrously around each other as they released a terrifying swirl of Chronos and Extinction to surge towards the lone figure of the Demonic Lich Emperor that at this moment, stretched his hands out and raised his skeletal head, merely waiting for the destructive burst of attacks to land on him!
His body that was reinforced mainly by Ruination Essence vibrated with power, the enhancements and boosts from many skills overlaid together causing his body alone to cause the surrounding space to tremble as a second later, the full power of 13 Incarnations of Chaos smashed into his body.
BOOOM!...CRACK!
The attacks were so potent and horrendous as even the void was shredded apart like paper, the two essences of Extinction and Chronos working hand in hand as their goal was to reduce everything they touched to ash where it was through the factor of time for Chronos or simply pure extinction!
But for Noah, none of this mattered.
For him, what mattered was just the reality that these attacks were filled with the vibrant essence of the Dao of Chronos.
WAA!
Amidst the raging flames of extinction that remained after the essence of Chronos was sucked up, Noah's bright eyes glanced at a certain number within his Status Panel.
[Chronos Integration Value] :: 17/100
The flames surrounding his head blazed every brighter as space began to stabilize.
The void folded and healed as the scene cleared, the flames within the sockets of the Undead Paragons blazing up somberly as after everything cleared, they still saw the scene of the Demonic Lich Emperor spreading his arms out as his body...was spotless.
…!
It actually seemed to vibrate with an immense amount of power that was nigh endless, the attacks of Incarnations that exceeded any Parameters of Paragons actually not being able to pass through him!
Only his voice rang out as it caused the minds of the Undead Paragons to buzz with activity.
"A few more minutes. I still won't lift a finger against you all."
RUMBLE!
His figure remained floating in the void as he spoke out domineeringly, the existences that had given away their lives just to reach the same realm of power as him bellowing out as they rushed towards him like flies!
