Apex Star-Chapter 41 New World Part 1

41 New World Part 1

As Nova and Imperia looked at the ten stars depicted on the majestic throne, they were drawn to them.

'What's this familiar feeling?' thought Nova as he looked confusedly at the golden star that shone the brightest.' It's like drawing me in.'

Imperia had the same thoughts as she looked at the blue star on the throne. Then something strange happened to her as she entered some sort of trance and sat cross-legged.

"Hmm, Imperia, what's wrong?" Said Nova worrying about Imperia.

"Leave her be. She seems almost ready to awaken her Blue Star of Nirvana. Now she's comprehending her star's power to help her in the process." Said the man, almost as if he had seen this too many.

"Blue Star of Nirvana? Why does this sound so familiar?" Asked a confused Nova.

"The Blue Star of Nirvana is one of the Ten Origin Stars, the strongest stars ever to exist.

They bless their wielders with power that transcends imagination. Their only goal is simple, to stop the 'Slumbering' from ending the countless universes that exist out there." The man ended his explanation, stunning Nova to the core.

"Are you kidding?! I don't know what this 'Slumbering' is entirely, and I'm supposed to stop it...?" Asked Nova feeling incredulous.

The man chuckled a bit when hearing this.

"You're not the first generation to feel like this when hearing this. But unfortunately, that's the truth. Eight Generations before you couldn't stop the 'Slumbering' from destroying countless universes.

It absorbed all life in them and strengthened itself before slumbering, and coming back more powerful than ever. Currently, there is only about 15% life in the universe compared to trillions of years ago.

So you, wielder of the Golden Star of Apex, or Origin Star of Apex, if you ally with nine others, your mission would be to stop the 'Slumbering' from getting even stronger and killing us all."

The man ended his speech, and then he waited for Nova to process it all.

Finally, after a few minutes, Nova asked the man again.

"Who are the other Star wielders? Where can I find them?" Nova asked the man.

"I know who they are, but I can't tell you where to find them." Shaking his head, the man remained silent.

"Let me guess, some shitty causal Laws and stuff like that." To this sentence, the man only continued to smile.

"Then who are you?" Asked Nova.

"Primordial Kanares, that's what they call me." The confidence in Primordial Kanares was only subsided by the pride he had, when saying that.

"Primordial? Is it some kind of title?" Nova was once again confused.

"Both a title and a Realm. There are few Primordials left, as mostly all of them died because of the 'Slumbering' killing them.'" The man ended his sentence with a weak smile, reminiscing the past.

Nova was quiet for a while as if sensing the man's sadness.

"How am I supposed to start? To get stronger, no, the strongest." Said Nova after a few minutes of silence.

"You already awakened your Star and made contact with it. Your little girlfriend here is also trying to awaken hers by comprehending the Throne of Infinity.

When she's done with it, her Stage will soar to Nebula or even World Stage at least.

I prepared a world inside the throne to put you inside and train you for a bit. For this, you have a simple but also demanding task;

Rule, I want you to rule this world in less than six months using all means.

And don't worry, the time difference inside is different from that outside, as ten days inside are only one day outside.

I expect you to become an Evolver Stage at least, and then, just like her, you will also start comprehending the throne and, hopefully, breakthrough to a higher stage."

As the man stopped talking, a portal formed above the throne.

Nova looked at Imperia, then again at the man before looking at the portal and actually jumping in.

"Oh, I forgot to tell him that there are beings even higher than Universe Stage there...I'm sure he'll handle it somehow." Primordial Kanares chuckled to himself.

-----

Ghanos World, Continent of Femiz.

There was a big blue and green colored forest that was full of Higher Stages beasts. Somewhat at the outer circle of the forest, an unassuming portal suddenly opened, and a young man in black appeared from it.

'So this is where I begin conquering the world from?! A forest in the middle of nowhere?'

As Nova calmed down, he received pieces of information about this world.

This world was called Ghanos, and he was currently on the Femiz Continent, one of the six continents existing. The humans ruled Femiz Continent, with the demon race ruling another two continents and the elves another.

The fifth continent was the beast's territory, with the last Continent being a Neutral Continent where every outlaw gathered. It didn't have a single ruling power but multiple ones.

Nova began thinking of how to start when suddenly he heard a few growls heading his way.

There was a pack of wolves, all in Stage 7 and even Stage 8, coming towards him.

Not even bothering to move out of the way, he waved his hand. 'Blazing Fire,' a wall of flames appeared between him and the wolves, instantly incinerating the weak Stage 7 wolves and Early Stage 8's.

The remaining wolves were stunned seeing this, but nonetheless they continued charging in the wall of flames.

Seeing this, Nova was confused. 'Are they trying to kill themselves?' He took his sword out and slashed at the remaining twenty or so wolves in front of him.

Space was actually cut in two along with the wolves that could barely howl from the agony of being fried and cut at the same time.

What Nova didn't know was that these wolves were frantically banging in the firewall because they were running from something... the same thing that killed their alpha and was now coming in his direction.

After Nova took their beast crystals to absorb later, he wanted to continue his journey when suddenly his pupils constricted, and he backed more than ten meters with cold sweat on his back.

The place where he stood previously had dozens of earth spikes coming from the ground. Nova was shocked because he almost died if not for his senses being enhanced by the Apex.

He tried to look for the culprit when he suddenly saw it, a 5 meters tall hedgehog standing over 100 meters from him.

When he was the distance he was attacked from, Nova was stunned. But when he felt the hedgehog's power it all made sense.

'Middle Evolver Stage...' Nova was actually shocked by this as he barely stepped foot on this world and his first enemy is already in the Evolver Stage. It made him wonder if he could succeed in ruling this world in six months...
