Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 341 - Other means to achieve the same goal?

Chapter 341 - Other means to achieve the same goal?

With the intervening of the Celestials, tens of billions of lives would be saved. All that it cost was the death of those involved, along with the destruction of their star as they also served to send a message that would discontinue any more thoughts of chaos and disorder!

So why should they not move to save so many beings? Should they let tens of billions die?

Noah actually did not find an answer to the Grandmaster’s question, his mind going towards the Lost World yet again as he wondered- what exactly did the Celestials foresee with this world and its World Engines that they passed the verdict for its destruction?

It was only a Large World that was not that well known, so it didn’t serve to send a message to anyone important. He was also moving in this world, which made him wonder if the fate they discerned had something to do with him as well!

Because of the actions of the mysterious Karmic Sect Master Inuit, Noah had survived from the planet that was Spatially Locked as Athena pushed the switch to blast it to pieces- which meant that their purpose of destroying everything had failed, and whatever they were trying to prevent from what they had foreseen would still come to pass.

The thought of this mystery made Noah question many things as his ideals were still the same. As of this moment, he had not turned into some mad man who would agree with the destruction of an entire star and all those in it, even if they had nothing to do with the chaos being caused. This was the same reason he stood against the Celestials-because of their rampant destruction of the Lost World without a care for who was in it and whether they deserved that verdict!

He had obtained [Fate Discernment] himself now and understood more of the reasoning of the Celestials for their actions, where he would pierce through the veils of mystery to find out exactly what they feared from the Lost World that made them call for its destruction. But at this moment, for the Magus World that was at hand, numerous ideas floated in Noah’s mind as he finally lifted his head and met the impassive gaze of the Grandmaster.

"This disciple is slightly eccentric, and I have only gotten where I am today by looking at things from multiple different angles. I have absolutely no issue carrying out the mission of the destruction of the world responsible for the future chaos that would allow for the destruction of the world I was born in and tens of billions of beings. But what if...there was another way to achieve this same level of reduction of chaos, the saving of lives, and the instillment of fear to prevent future disorder?"

"..."

The Grandmaster and Athena looked closely at him as they remained the same, indicating for Noah to continue as his gaze moved between them.

"You mentioned the destruction of the star achieves all the goals- wiping out those responsible while also sending a message. What if...we can send that message at the same level, if not more, and cause an even bigger reduction of chaos?"

Athena’s eyes opened widely at these bold claims as the Grandmaster looked on while a sharp light passed through his eyes. He looked at Noah as he spoke.

"Let me guess, you want us to simply send our interstellar warsh.i.p.s and Celestial Grandmasters to reap the lives of the powerful leading organization of the Magus World and let that stand as a message? It will not be effective, nor as efficient as simply using a Prime Warship to simply destroy the Star."

The words were laced with a reprimanding tone of an Elder teaching a Junior, Noah shaking his head as he replied with a determined expression.

"No. Do not send in any battlesh.i.p.s or Grandmasters. To achieve the goal of punishing those responsible for this chaos while sending a message that will bring about order across the stars...send me- a single Celestial Disciple at the Void Realm to take the heads of those responsible."

...!

The Grandmaster’s eyes narrowed as he looked closely at Noah, a wide smile appearing on his face as he spoke out.

"You realize that the most powerful beings in the Magus World are at the peak of Soul Forging Realm? I would not even be surprised if they had a being half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm for them to be so bold as to think they could get away with such actions under our eyes."

The power of the Celestial Grandmaster came out in waves as he said this, his words revealing the next rank above Soul Forging, which was Domain Expansion!

This was the same realm that this single Grandmaster Vredral, who was just a single Grandmaster among the many on the 7th Celestial Star, held! From Noah’s and Athena’s Void Rank, this being surpassed Soul and stood at the peak of the Domain Rank!

With his abilities as a Celestial, one would dread when they realized the power that allowed them to even fight those above their levels as his presence became all the more terrifying!

Noah stopped thinking about the realm of this being for a moment before he continued.

"That is precisely why, Grandmaster. Send in a single Void FRealm Celestial Disciple to utterly destroy the forces of those responsible. We will achieve the goal of destroying this force and stopping the war, while sending an even stronger message about the power of Celestials who could raise a single Disciple to have the power to wipe out the major force of a Prime World."

"..."

Noah looked at the gaze of the Grandmaster that was still unconvinced as he squeezed his mind for more ideas and continued.

"Let them know that Celestials do not just rely on their powerful Warsh.i.p.s to destroy those causing chaos. Let them know that even a single disciple at a lowly Void Realm will be enough to rectify chaos caused at the planetary level. This message can be instilled even more clearly by broadcasting this entire event to the surrounding powers that are involved in this issue!"

The eyes of the Grandmaster shone at Noah’s last set of words, his gaze being more profound as he seemed to be pondering. He looked at Noah briefly later as he said a set of words that held the tone of not being able to be denied.

"You are a tremendously unique genius, so I will give you this chance as a lesson to show you that the things we have established and done for centuries are the most efficient. I will use [Fate Discernment] when your actions are done to see whether they were effective in reducing chaos as it would have been if we simply destroyed the Magus World, and you can even check this yourself as soon as you finish."

Noah’s figure stood up as he placed his right hand on his chest as a sign of respect for being allowed this chance, the Grandmaster continuing with a smile as he watched this.

"Since we can’t have a genius like you accidentally dying, Athena will still accompany you on this mission. There would be many beings above your levels in this world after all, and this could serve as a great method of training."

Noah’s eyes shone as he heard this and looked at this still impassive Athena who simply just nodded while looking at his with an unreadable expression.

"Broadcast your actions to the surrounding powers huh?"

The Grandmaster muttered under his breath as he found himself thinking this idea of his disciple was at least interesting, even if it might not work!

But for the sake of a lesson for this incredible genius, they would put it to the test. Would his proposed idea be enough to achieve the same level of reduction of chaos and the instillment of fear into the surrounding powers while saving the same amount of lives, or would something entirely different occur?

A wide smile appeared on the face of the being at the peak of Domain Expansion Realm as he looked at the bowing disciple and the valiant Athena by the side, his mind already working and sending multiple messages for a change of plans and new preparation to be put underway for a particular mission!
