In an area of the Infinite Reality under the authority of the Dimensional Holy Land.
Dazzling scenes were occurring throughout, but some were more wondrous than others as the one in current focus wasn't even Noah.
It was of something connected to him that had an intense longing- a longing that was finally achieved after it utilized the Bone of a Kun Peng, an Interchangeable Dimensional Material, and many more materials from the Mirror Dimension with the aid of the Infinite Reality to change itself!
Noah didn't even touch it as at this moment, RUINATION had advanced herself and taken on a stellar form.
Gone was her crimson skin and golden inscriptions as dazzling hands with a silvery complexion slowly unfurled, silver golden feathered wings erupting behind her as crimson gold hair draped over her bare skin. Her eyes carried boundless silver, gold, and black colors as within them, one could see the dazzling essence of Three Dimensions!
Mirror, Dream, and Niflheim Essence could be seen swirling maddeningly in her eyes as she had achieved a terrifying feat after her advancement, her exceedingly beautiful expression becoming firm at this time as she put her hands on her chest and began to glow.
Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion.
WAA!
A glow bloomed out and gradually changed her form as from humanoid, she shockingly reformed into a massive silver gold greatsword with an incandescent obsidian hilt!
The dazzling Ecritures of DREAM, MIRROR, and NIFLHEIM surged around the greatsword the moment its form was taken as its sharpness was enough to cut the surrounding space.
The Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion flashed a single time as a Mirror appeared before it, the massive blade sinking into it and disappearing as it came to another region under the influence of the Dimensional Holy Land where the visage of Noah could be seen sitting on the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny.
He gazed upon his treasure in form of a massive and radiant blade as its voice rang out in his mind.
Master.
The treasure that wanted to be of more use to its Master.
Its auxiliary uses were already so dreadful enough, but it now focused on even more offensive aspects as it took on the form of a deadly weapon right away!
Noah's eyes flashed while gazing at RUINATION as he nodded, waving his hands forward as he allowed an incandescent Atlatl of Reality to also flow over beside RUINATION!
"Come to me in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest."
WAA!
His command reverberated out as RUINATION released a dazzling silver glow that also wrapped the Atlatl of Reality, with the both of them turning towards a mirror light that actually formed in Noah's chest as they sunk into him!
…and then, there was silence.
The authority of RUINATION was abundant as even after she 'left', her aura could be felt constantly surging around Noah as she had access to his Expansive Space, continuing her passive task of multiplying his loot as after her upgrade, she was doing it by a factor of 6!
The allure of loot surged into Noah's Expansive Space and formed mountains as soon after, these mountains were duplicated into even grander ones by a newly upgraded Relic.
There were TABOO Relics, and then, there was RUINATION!
—
In the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
Noah's chest slowly began to revolve with a silvery light as three skills were cast at once with two requiring resources to do so, and the last one was the most destructive skill that actually required nothing for Noah to cast even after it became REIFIED.
Their details were glorious to the eyes!
REIFIED [Ascendant Reality Sever] (5/5): Born from a concept of extreme speed and mortality, the Assassin Emperor of Severance is called upon as every single one of his attacks has a chaining feature that allows it to strike up to one hundred nearby enemies as with every chain, the damage increases by 1.5%. Every time an enemy is hit by his attacks, the Saintess of Fiery Damnation makes a brief appearance for a microsecond to lay down judgment. The ability can currently deal 1,000 True Reality Damage Values and 1,000 Dream Dimensional Damage Values as it has no resource cost, allowing for the chaining effect of the attacks of the Assassin Emperor of Severance to continue repeating on the same enemy or multiple nearby enemies until their Origins perish or the construct of the ability becomes disrupted...
REIFIED Ascendant Lich's Armament of Devotion(5/5):: The REIFIED Visage of the Arch Lich Ra'Zan appears behind the caster as they are graced with the Lich Emperor's Armament of Devotion, a celestial armament made from the vast Legions of the Arch lich that provides 3,000 True Reality Defense Values, 2,000 Dream Dimensional Defense Values, and 20% Strata Vitality Regeneration every microsecond. It requires 1,500,000 Units of the Essence of Reality to cast and 150,000 Units of the Essence of Reality to keep active every microsecond. So long as the Lich Emperor's Armament of Devotion isn't breached and bypassed, it will remain at its optimum state for multiple attacks as the bony visage of death embraces you…
REIFIED Ascendant Celestial Lich's Smite of Retribution(5/5):: The Celestial Lich descends as its Legions of Undead are summoned as an amalgamation of a weapon, transforming into an enormous Celestial Bone Legion Sword that rains down Retribution into a single target with a Dream Dimensional Damage Value of 3,000, and then a secondary Smite of 1,000 Area of Effect True Reality Damage Values as the Celestial Bone Legion Sword transforms into a Celestial Necrotic Ring of Death that swirls for 3 microseconds against all enemies...
Glorious Abilities as Sever alone added another base 2,000 Damage Values, with Noah's defensive ability of Armament of Devotion adding a whooping 5,000 Defense Values on top of his already ridiculous Innate Dimensional Barrier!
The single cast of Lich's Armament of Devotion was enough to layer Noah over 300 Million Defense Values after experiencing True Dual Enhancement- Values of Dimensional nature that were even much harder to pierce through as with his Innate Dimensional Barrier, his Defense Values alone spill over 500 Million!
And with Sever, Noah was now bound to deal over 250,000,000 Damage Values per hit after True Dual Enhancement, with this damage only increasing thereafter as if he chained it up to 50 Times...the damage would far exceed 500 Million.
This was because with every chain, the damage was further increased by 1.5%.
And on the subsequent chain, the newly enhanced damage- not the base one that Noah started with on the first chain, would get that same boost as this process continued for as many chains as Noah managed to make!
Then there was the Smite of Retribution that dished out a single target and an area of effect damage over an extremely vast distance that would equate to over 300 Million Damage Values.
Simply put, they were utterly dreadful to cast out as Noah had done all three at once!
BZZZT!
Noah's surroundings were painted with a glorious allure of white and gold as halcyon bone Armament began to wrap around him, an enormous visage of a Celestial Arch Lich Ra'Zan rising behind him as he was wrapped in a radiant gold cowl and wielding a flaming gold skull staff that shone with holy radiance!
Radiance that washed over him seamlessly as his whole figure became covered in the Lich Emperor's Armament of Devotion that would prevent damage from his enemies!
At the same time, a massive golden white bone Sword pierced across the skies as it was titanic in size, with the visage of the enthroned Arch Lich Ra'Zan sitting on a throne of golden bones pushing it down with immense weight and terror. Its size was so massive as it nearly reached the height of the three Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead, these beings having their eyes blazing with deathly flames as their titanic obsidian weapons rose to defend this descending Lich's Smite of Retribution.
It was a shocking effort to see Beta Strata LEGENDS already in their True Forms scramble to oppose the attacks of a single being as the Primogenial Strata LEGENDS of the Ancient Races in their own True Forms could defend against him!
A mere Ninth Firmament existence!
But his defensive skill and the massive sword were only the attacks that were easily seen and prevented.
There was the Assassin Emperor of Severance who had already begun to move.
His figure was moving silently as he adorned a purple robe crackling with Aether, the illusory image of multiple shattered crowns tied to this robe being visible to Noah as the face of the Assassin Emperor of Severance was shrouded in brilliant darkness!
In his hands, an incandescent scythe could be seen as it flashed with a maddening light of mortality!
This scythe within the hands of the Assassin Emperor of Severance was moving at rapid speeds as in the single microsecond, it had always silently cut across the bodies of over 10 Primogenial Strata LEGENDS as even they didn't know they were already hit.
Only the eyes of the Beta Strata LEGENDS saw a glimmer of a purple gold light chaining between their people as it was getting progressively stronger while it did so- so much stronger that if it continued so, this light might be enough to threaten even them!
"Disrupt it!"
WAA!
A Kun Peng Commander from afar spoke as his eyes shone with coldness, but the Assassin Emperor of Severance waited for no one as he weaved across the Primogenial Strata LEGENDS, where another 10 were chained once more after a microsecond as only now did the first existence that this REIFIED Sever touched feel the brutal effects.
"..."
The first existence that the Scythe of the Assassin Emperor passed through was a Chaos Hound.
The body and Destiny of this being buzzed just once as before he could even realize what had occurred, over 250 Million Dream Dimensional Soul Damage Values wrecked his Aspects of Existence to nothingness as his body exploded into a shower of bloody mist!
This was only the first chain of Sever as after this being was hit and perished so quickly, a crimson gold light flashed as a smaller image of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation bloomed.
"Haa…"
An image of a Saintess that gazed at the bloody field in ecstasy as an instant after, her fair index finger pointed out around her as dazzling balls of flames erupted out to smash and eviscerate nearby Primogenial Strata LEGENDS!
BOOOOOM!
On the second existence that the Assassin Emperor of Severance passed through, a similar scene repeated as the existence was decimated instantly while a miniaturized Saintess of Fiery Damnation arose to bully any surrounding LEGENDS to death- this scene repeating for the first microsecond as nigh instantaneously, 10 small Saintesses of Fiery Damnation arose.
And such a scene repeated for the second microsecond that followed as when one looked at the battlefield from the skies, they would only see a zigzagging flashing purple gold light that evaded Beta Strata LEGENDS while pulverized Primogenial ones, going on to chain to 49 existences in less than 5 microseconds as its movements were too fast for the unprepared Beta Strata LEGENDS to catch it!
And all of them scrambled against this single being as his abilities were enough to make him a one man army- his movements alone wiping out thousands!
With every being that fell from Sever, the brief appearance of the Saintesses of Fiery Damnation would erase a dozen more Primogenial Strata LEGENDS.
If they were cognizant of this dominating ability and realized it had to be disrupted early, maybe it wouldn't have gotten to this.
But they realized it a few microseconds too late.
They allowed the Assassin Emperor of Severance to silently move across 49 existences before a Beta Strata LEGEND appeared before him, his body now becoming vibrantly visible to all for no reason other than the fact that he had accumulated too much essence and his 50th chain….could deal too much damage!
So much more damage as one must not forget that Noah had undergone an epiphany and infused wisps of the Natural Laws of Reality into his three recently cast abilities- their Damage and effectiveness being even more dreadful.
For the 50th chain, the target was not a Primogenial Strata LEGEND as the Assassin Emperor of Severance knew he could not evade the Beta Strata LEGENDS that had appeared before it.
After avoiding them all this time since they held a chance of disrupting the dominance of Sever, the Assassin Emperor of Severance this time turned into a flash of purple gold light while thundering straight towards the Beta Strata LEGEND.
A LEGEND...whose expression changed as his body bellowed with power, a yell blooming from him powerfully as he felt the unbelievable cluster of power surge towards him- the incandescent scythe causing his soul to vibrate in disharmony!
Who was this unnamed Beta Strata LEGENDS that Noah targeted for the last chain of Sever?
Adorned with the Lich's Armament of Devotion, Noah's eyes reflected a golden sheen of the Dictum Emperor as through them, he could see a hazy light around the many existences moving across the battlefield.
Some had hazy golden lights that were barely distinct, while others had vibrant golden lights that shone like the sun!
This was a sight granted to him as his proficiency in Destiny rose, and it told him of the enemies he had the highest chance of killing.
The vast stretches of Primogenial LEGENDS shone bright gold.
This ferocious Beta Strata Chaos Hound with glistening dark scaly fur and a draconic head that shone with the illusory light of Reality...shone with a grandeur of gold the moment that the Assassin Emperor of Severance chained for the 49th time!
So Noah commanded it to surge forth as with billowing 500+ Million Dream Dimensional Soul Damage Values and non-quantified changes brought about through him infusing wisps of the Natural Laws of Reality into it...the purple gold scythe of the Assassin Emperor of Severance swung down on a Beta Strata LEGEND.
The individuality this REIFIED skill had gained was cold and callous as its eyes radiated purple gold beams of Aether, its voice ringing out in the battlefield for the first time as it stated a word that was also a sentencing.
DEATH.
...!
Author Note:: For the math lovers out there!
[Multipliers for Black Tier Ascendancy Halos correction]:: The Base multiplier granted every 10 fused Halos is 500, with there being differing additional boosts depending on the True Form. Example- For 60 Halos, Noah's current Unnamed Kainos Emperor form has an additional multiplier of 7,500(1250 per 10 Halos), while the base multiplier for fusing with 60 Black Tier Ascendancy Halos is still retained as it is 3000(500x6) . Total multiplier= 10,500!
When the 50th chain of the Assassin Emperor of Severance landed on a Beta Strata LEGEND, so did the Lich's Smite of Retribution clash against the massive Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead- and the molten flames of three legged Reified bird tried to drown the Saintess of Fiery Damnation.
But the attention of many couldn't help but be taken by the swing of the Scythe of the Assassin Emperor of Severance!
It buzzed with danger as it targeted a Chaos Hound whose body glimmered brightly, Chaotic stellar seas bursting from its body as its reified defensive skill couldn't even rise up in time due to the speed of the attack.
The Assassin Emperor of Severance called for Death.
The 50th chain smashed down.
"..."
And like a blinding sun of destructive Aether exploding, the force was mighty!
BOOOOOM!
Over 500 Million Dream Dimensional Damage Soul Values smashed into the Olden visage of this being as it was an utterly dreadful type of Damage to take up close- and this included the unknown changes brought about by Noah infusing wisps of the Natural Laws of Reality...and even the full effects of his Infinite Reality Passages that hadn't been fully quantified yet.
It was made even worse when one wasn't prepared for it, its unique aspects wrecking across the very Strata of its enemy as there was even a reality that was maddening to understand.
The reality that this damage was taken in full as there wasn't any Realm Suppression between Noah who was the attacker at the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy and the Beta Strata LEGENDS who had achieved the second stage in the Realm of Reality!
No Realm Suppression!
What did this mean?
Others may not know, but Noah knew that under his current Origin, the Primogenial Strata LEGENDS would actually face a level of suppression from him as they were considered a weaker Origin, with the Beta Strata actually being seen on the same level as his current Dream Dimensional Reality Seed.
This…was before he even broke through to form his genuine Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality!
"GAAAH!"
The Soul of the Beta Strata LEGENDS cried out painfully and with horror as its barriers of defense were shredded apart, its crystallized soul becoming bathed and ravaged with essence that was dimming everything about it.
Crystallized!
After the liquified soul sea of the Primogenial Strata, LEGENDS had to become capable enough to turn this vast sea into a crystalline form as it was extremely hard for a Crystallized Soul to be destroyed.
And yet it was nearly so at this time as the incandescent manifestation of this being soul nearly had everything about it sapped! The Beta Strata LEGENDS was on his last legs, but he barely held on from falling to eternal slumber from the ravaging Dream essence!
But…the attack of the Assassin Emperor of Severance was twofold.
"Ahn…"
From the 50th Chain, the Saintess of Fiery Damnation rose as her devilishly beautiful face was filled with unbound happiness.
Her fair hands reached out to the damaged body of the Beta Strata LEGENDS as with laughter that would be remembered by all…
BRRRRR!
Hundreds of Fireballs bloomed as they were the last nail of the coffin, the figure of the Beta Strata LEGEND imploding and becoming immolated as it burst into a shower and chunks of bloody flames an instant later!
...!
The field of battle slowed.
Akaris and Ezekiel turned to gaze at this shocking scene.
The Beta Strata LEGENDS they faced did the same and their faces became grim and filled with rage!
The Aspects of Existence that made up a Beta Strata LEGEND...perished at this moment from a mere Ninth Firmament existence.
Utter silence pervaded the surroundings as even those in the midst of attacks found themselves coming to a lull!
Amidst all this, a voice filled with tyranny thundered in the ears of all as the perpetrator of this event spoke out.
"Merely of the Beta Strata, nothing much!"
WAA!
A domineering voice that didn't put the distinguished beings that was just killed in its eyes!
A voice with anger inducing words that didn't just complement the astounding scene, but also a signal for an explosive force against the Legions of Millions that observed this scene!
It was the major turning point of the many powerful existences from these vast ancient Legions turning their heads towards a single being!
A being that after eradicating a Beta Strata LEGEND, his eyes shone with glory as he saw a half Black and Gold Randomized Loot Crate rise.
A being whose eyes shone as he watched the Assassin Emperor of Severance...go towards the 51st Chain.
This was because Sever was never stopped after the death of this Beta Strata LEGEND! It could continue!
The scythe on the Assassin Emperor of Severance pulsed with even more power as it tore towards another Beta Strata LEGEND that had been rushing towards it, but would it really be left alone after all this?
"Preposterous!"
BOOOM!
The visage of a mighty Kun Peng descended beside a Moon Luminoid that was about to be hit with another Chain of Sever.
Vajra Luminescent Emperor
DING!
A REIFIED ability instantly formed above the Kun Peng as an enormous humanoid golden statue sporting a fat belly and tout muscles bloomed, his hands massive as they covered the skies.
This golden statue blankly opened its eyes as its hands moved at ridiculous speeds, intercepting the coming Assassin Emperor of Severance as the targetted Moon Luminoid also released a radiant eclipsed moon to block off any paths of retreat!
BZZZZT!
The abilities clashed as a horrific metallic sound boomed while smashing into the golden hands of the Vajra Statue. The eclipsed moon came from behind as it also released a ring of silver light that constricted the Assassin Emperor of Severance even further.
With valiance and power, the body of the enormous Kun Peng illuminated gold as it roared out- the Vajra Statue it called out shining with an even brighter luster!
"BREAK!"
WAA!
With the effort and might of two Beta Strata LEGENDS, the Assassin Emperor of Severance sneered as its body began to fade.
For the first strike of Sever, it could only claim a few hundred Primogenial Strata LEGENDS and one Beta Strata.
This...was the might of an ability that had no resource cost for Noah!
It was a shocking show of power, but also an action that signified the clustering of attention of many powerful beings unto Noah.
SHAA!
The auras of multiple Beta Strata LEGENDS rose as tens of thousands of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS moved behind them.
More Kun Pengs, Moon Luminoids, Three-Headed Ogres, Chaos Hounds, Mushroom Emperors...over a dozen Beta Strata Commanders appeared one after another around the periphery of the existence adorning the form of a human with radiant wings and stature of glory.
The Legions of millions…seemed to all be focusing their gazes towards a single spot!
Blue and gold bounced off of Noah as his eyes held boundless coldness and tyranny even while the powerful Kun Peng that had stopped Sever bellowed out!
"Long distance attacks focused on this creature. Whatever move he makes and whatever skill he casts- intercept it!"
"HO!"
Bellows of affirmation came as the skies became littered with incandescent lights.
The Reification of Fiery concepts, glacial abilities, thunderous storms of Reality, constructs of massive weapons...many REIFIED abilities began to bloom as the remaining Pure-Blooded Primordials shuddered before they could even celebrate the shocking feat of one of their geniuses.
Noah gazed at this all as his Smite of Retribution pushed back an Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead while a storm of bones erupted from it to cover a wide region that killed hundreds of Primogenial LEGENDS!
He watched as his Saintess of Fiery Damnation was unphased under the attack of a Kun Peng as she laughed and rained down endless balls of flames!
He looked at the Beta Strata LEGENDS clumping up against him and the countless attacks beginning to rise as his voice boomed out across the battlefield with boundless tyranny.
"What great Emperors you are."
WAA!
Ascendant Reality Sever was cast once more as the eyes of Beta Strata LEGENDS focused on it to disrupt it.
"To be scrambling before me like this..."
His voice built up like a crescendo as when he saw the countless REIFIED abilities from Primogenial Strata LEGENDS flying towards him, his Reality Passages above glimmered with light as his Origin did the same- releasing a light of suppression that these Primogenial LEGENDS could not overcome!
Towards their advance and actions, Emperor's Haki was infused in Noah's last words as he used his billowing will and suppression of his unique Origin and Reality Passages to counter thousands of coming REIFIED abilities.
"...you are not deserving to be Emperors!"
BOOOM!
Haki bellowed out as boundless waves of gold oppressively smashed towards Noah's enemies!
And he wasn't moving alone as with his words and actions, the remaining Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses moved.
—
Akaris gazed at the unfolding scenes with utmost coldness as she held back a Beta Strata LEGEND.
She could feel the erosion in her soul getting extremely potent, and yet even more Beta Strata LEGENDS appeared at this time!
'And if this newly appearing guy can kill one, what am I waiting for?'
…!
Her thoughts were vibrant as even though casting Shield Maiden caused her soul to become eroded, it was actually bursting with even more power at this moment.
This was because she had done something shocking to her soul.
To cast abilities while controlling the Essence of Natural Laws of Reality she didn't understand came at a great cost, but she found a way to not pay this cost.
Through her…construct- she took the erosion of her soul and turned it into a strength!
BZZZT!
Her liquified soul that she had broken the limits of vibrated as the areas of erosion burned with golden flames at this moment, releasing an essence that spread out across Akaris's body and caused her to be even more luminous.
She was a being that many didn't understand.
She was a being that even Alpha Strata LEGENDS couldn't look at in disdain!
The more she fought…the more powerful she became.
After seeing the erosion of her soul and impossibly burning this up for even more power, she could finally utilize that.
An ability that caused her to be undefeated when she sparred with Beta Strata LEGENDS!
She closed her eyes as she breathed out and called out slowly.
It was a skill…and it was also a distinction.
As for what it truly meant?
"Shield of Dawn."
The vast Realities would come to know!
…BOOOOM!
Glory bloomed with even more fervor.
From the skies, massive golden shields of light began to descend in a unique formation.
Watching this scene were many beings, with some beings in particular deserving of some of the attention.
Among the folds of space, hidden from the eyes of all beings- was an existence currently grasping an incandescent Techo Relic, a sniper's rifle that clustered with waves of TABOO.
Her body glimmered with astral light as she had taken her True form silently, her gorgeous visage being hidden from the eyes of many as she was lying in wait to deal the most destructive damage!
This was the job of a sniper.
To go in and out unseen as their targets wouldn't even know how they died!
"Haa..."
Elora breathed out waves of TABOO as her rifle buzzed with power. Her scope uniquely wasn't locked out to any of the masses of Ancient Legions, and it was actually following someone else that remained hidden and was weaving across the Legions of Ancient Races like nothing!
The Ancient Races also weren't reacting to her as at this moment, the aura she gave off was similar to theirs.
Elora had coincidentally found her as she left the ranks of Pure-Blooded Primordials and delved into the Legions of Ancient Races like nothing- the light around this existence being extremely dark and vile unlike anything she had seen before!
An existence that was in the ranks of Primordials who was actually an operative of the Ancient Races.
"Be patient, Little Barret. We shall strike at the most crucial time for this big baddie..."
She stroked her rifle as she waited for a chance to rise.
A chance to assassinate none other than the hidden figure of Genevieve!
Towards the center of the clusters of Ancient Legions.
All those in these Legions had the dense aura of Ancient Races- something that couldn't be replicated unless one had a Bloodline corresponding to it!
And Genevieve...had something much more wondrous.
Her gaze went behind her as she saw the shocking situation unfolding around the one she chose as an enemy- Alexander King!
'No fucking way he's just a Chosen Emperor. The hell is that?'
Her mind and Destiny buzzed with somberness as she turned back to the target ahead of her sitting on a throne of blazing flames.
There were still over a dozen Kun Pengs around him as she wouldn't be able to get past them with her aura alone, so she stopped in the midst of the Legion of Abyssal Death Knights as she sent waves of a mental message.
"He gets stronger off devouring the strength of his enemies. You need to use an explosive and undeniable force right now before any more LEGENDS get their strength added to his."
WAA!
Her words were sharp and precise as the existence upon the fiery throne of flames locked onto her instantly!
His eyes shone with astounding luminosity as Valdez Tepez spoke out with regality.
"You are..."
"A representative from the Olden Alliance that has been hidden among the ranks of Primordials that whole time..."
...!
The weaving of destiny turned tumultuous and wild as two beings from different generations got in contact!
One stemmed from an extremely far away era, while the other was born with the potential to lead a brand new era.
At this moment, the Wills of these two beings connected as Genevieve and Valdez reached out to each other!
Valdez Tepez was looking dubiously at the visage of Genevieve and the eaves of power she released, her Bloodline undoubtedly being purer than most beings here as it could not be falsified.
"But your strength…"
"Ground down by the vicissitudes of time and Primordials while I lay in slumber. I've lost contact with others as I know not where my brethren now call home, nor who our allies are. This and more I wish to find out, but now is not the time. Alexander King…he needs to perish sooner rather than later!"
Genevieve's voice was steadfast as she repeated herself, Valdez's eyes shimmering with the flames of destiny as his thoughts were unknown.
Even after the shocking scenes shown by a few prominent existences ahead, this being had never faltered- and nor had his destiny.
He gazed silently towards the far away location that was radiating vast waves of golden lights as he spoke.
"Unless an existence is of the Alpha Strata in this Nest…"
HUUUM!
His visage, ever so slowly…began to rise from his throne of flames.
"...they can forget about coming out alive."
…!
As he rose, the over a dozen Kun Peng Beta Strata Commanders began to buzz with activity, this being commanding great honor and respect as he seemed to be carrying an unbearable weight on his shoulders!
Incandescent golden flames began to burn around him as his hand once more rose, the Legions of Millions reacting as they all began to surge forward maddeningly like a wave.
A wave that threatened to overwhelm the puny cluster of Primordials once and for all as while this wave began to tumble out, so did its Commander.
So did Valdez Tepez!
And amidst it all, the visage of Genevieve seemed to fade in the Legion of millions!
Meanwhile, the small cluster of Pure-Blooded Primordials gazed at this all as the gazes that were just re-energized turned solemn with depreciating looks.
Many were clustered around the powerful individuals who could stand against their enemies as the largest cluster was around the figures of Noah, Ezekiel, and Katelyn.
The next largest cluster was around the Young Emperor as destiny surged around him while he commanded dozens of newly advanced Primogenial Strata LEGENDS to fight- with the Reality whether they could withstand a Beta Strata LEGEND still unknown!
Another cluster was around Juliette as Reality Ursidae and Infinite Willow Trees maneuvered around her surging stellar flames- their enemies being kept at bay!
Then there was the area where no beings neared.
This area was where the existence with the shining distinction of SACRALIZED was maddeningly exploding with power as silver feathered wings erupted behind her, her entire skin turning crystalline as her forehead had split to show a buzzing mirror crystal in the shape of an octagon!
To her left and right, horrifically powerful silver Halos of light formed- with this scene repeating below her, above her, in front of her, and behind her.
6 dazzling silvery Halos that seemed detached from Ascendancy Halos formed, their center revealing shining mirrors that showed stretches of Mirror Beasts hidden within them!
Mirror Beasts that seemed to be in the thousands…and each one blazed with a light of the Primogenial Strata.
A Dimensional Royalty.
Just what would their Lineage and power grant them access to?
It was a question many would not know the answer to as even now, Katelyn herself wasn't paying attention to it.
She was gazing at the bloody mist that remained of Nefertiti as she had absorbed it into a mirror, and her power now surged into this Mirror as it caused Reality itself to fracture and cause the blooming of over a dozen more Mirrors!
Each one showed a different scene as in some, the golden mist was replaced with body parts while in others it remained just as it was.
"AAAAH!"
She released a bellow that pushed back the Chaos Hound that had done all this as even more mirrors proliferated until finally, Katelyn came across a mirror that didn't show a bloody mist or mere body parts.
Within it, she could see the dazzling figure of Nefertiti with her eyes closed. The moment this mirror rose, Katelyn reached out for it with everything she had and pulled!
Pulled a version of reality…that was different from what had occurred previously.
BZZZT!
Shocking waves of essence surged as even the Natural Laws of Reality buzzed chaotically, Mirror Essence pervading everything here as the countless Mirrors shattered to reveal the floating figure of Nefertiti.
She seemed the same from all aspects as Katelyn's essence flowed towards her hopefully, the eyes of this figure opening as when she saw them- Katelyn couldn't help but be burdened with rage.
The eyes…were blank without any sign of consciousness.
They remained blank as they gazed forward, silver light blooming from Katelyn as she waved her hands to put this visage of Nefertiti away while turning towards the one who had done all this!
"..."
The massive Chaos Hound felt its soul and Destiny buzz as a cold chill permeated across its Aspects of Existence, the Dimensional Royalty before his eyes utterly enraged at this moment as her vast stretches of silvery wings rose, her fair crystalline hands pointing forward and calling for blood as from the 6 silvery mirror-like Halos, Mirror Beast LEGENDS began to surge out!
Shocking scenes like this were occurring all around and one after another as the unfolding battle was large in scale.
As things shifted and changed, the one who had the focus of everything at this moment was watching it all play out in slow motion.
Yes, he had managed to kill a Beta Strata LEGEND.
It was a shocking feat, but now, Dozens more were coming as the big boss of this Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest was making his move.
Noah had many tools under his belt, but it wasn't enough to withstand dozens of Beta Strata LEGENDS while dishing out enough Damage to eradicate them!
Something had to be done to make that possible.
Something like him taking on his Ascendant True Form that held a ridiculous multiplier and had shocking features like the Primogenial Ascendancy Domain.
But the time for it would be too brief!
It's cost was too high!
So how would Noah overcome this?
SHIING!
His destiny buzzed as it led him towards the newly formed Black Gold Randomized Loot Crate stemming from a Beta Strata LEGEND.
Something that only he could see that had surged into his Expansive Space, and he called out to it at this moment.
"Open."
...!
Brilliant gold and black light surged.
A Randomized Loot Crate from an existence that had crystallized their soul.
It's wonders...
1 Ascendant Dimensional Shard has been attained.
Began with a bang!
The Randomized Loot Crates Noah could choose as loot were gorgeous constructs that could grant him a myriad of new things he didn't know of, and if they were high ranking enough, they could even grant him Loot that had appeared before in previous Resplendent Treasure Caches!
The first thing to drop from this Black and Gold Randomized Loot Crate turned out to be the glorious Ascendant Dimensional Shard that had made many impossible things probable for Noah.
And the wonders of the Black Gold Randomized Loot Crate continued.
8 Supreme Dimensional Bloodline Shards have been attained. Attaining 10 Shards will allow for the birth of a Supreme Dimensional Bloodline.
The memoir 'A Dog's Life' has been attained.
10 Seeds of Nature that contain purified wisps of the Essence of Natural Laws of Reality have been attained.
...!
Pure glory and wonder bloomed before Noah as old and new loot bloomed.
The Ascendant Dimensional Shard he knew and loved, and then there were the Seeds of Nature and a memoir!
A Dog's Life:: Woof…
Seed of Nature:: A seed containing condensed Wisps of Natural Laws of Reality that can be applied to any concept.
The descriptions of the two new loot were dazzling as A Dog's Life was a dud containing the memories of the Chaos Hound as he crossed the Niflheim Dimension, while the Seeds of Nature…
They were something astounding!
Seeds of TABOO were accumulations of wisps of Natural Laws of Reality that could be granted to a concept to attain a TABOO Edict.
Seeds of Nature…were uniquely similar, but with one major difference. They didn't state that they were to be used to elevate an Edict to TABOO!
They merely stated that a Seed of Nature could be applied to any concept! So Noah could apply it to a concept and have it become a TABOO Edict…or he could apply a Seed of Nature to an already TABOO Edict to see what profound changes there could be.
To reach the stage above TABOO, one had to isolate the Essence of a single Natural Law of Reality into a concept. It meant being able to at least distinguish between the Natural Laws, and then only being able to pull from a single one!
So what would happen from continuing to pack wisps of Natural Laws of Reality into a concept?
This was something Noah had to find out as with this thought, he came to focus on the dazzling Ascendant Dimensional Shard.
Noah had promised himself to always keep 1 Ascendant Dimensional Shard on hand in case an extremely ridiculous ability came that he had to cut off the resource cost of.
He hadn't come across any ability that he couldn't utilize an Ascendant Dimensional Shard on, nor did he wish to come upon such abilities anytime soon.
He had attained 4 in total from the Resplendent Treasure Caches, with three being used up on Ascendant Reality Sever, Concept Corruption, and Runic Bloodline Inscription that was constantly increasing his defense!
Now, he had attained 1 more as his stock was replenished to two!
It was an answer to the current predicament that he had to utilize.
There were many high resource cost abilities that came to mind when it came to the usage of Ascendant Dimensional Shards, with something like Empyral Mitahara being at the very forefront as it would allow Noah to bypass the ridiculous cost of forging Empyral Bones, Organs, and Musculature- but Noah couldn't begin this now when he hadn't resonated his Aspects of Existence!
The more immediate abilities to think of was something defensive as he already had Sever that covered offense, and the ability that would allow him to take his strongest form without any cost.
Sanguine Ascendancy Domain.
Something that only powerful LEGENDS with extreme proficiency in their Halos attained, where their Halos could be fused to bring about a domain!
Noah had yet to see this with any of the Primogenial Strata LEGENDS or Beta Strata so far- and this either told one of how hard it was to achieve this state, or that it's cost was so high that even Beta Strata LEGENDS had not unleashed this power yet.
For Noah, he had the base multiplier of 3,000 by fusing with 60 Ascendancy Halos, or 3,500 if he went all out and utilized LETHE's authority as well. To top off this base multiplier would be the additional boosts of the Ascendant True Form that amounted to 15,000.
Both these multipliers put together guaranteed a range of 300-500 Million Damage and Defense Values for Noah as matching and decimating weak or average Beta Strata LEGENDS would be easy!
He would be covered offensively and in terms of powering up, but he wasn't yet covered defensively as Noah couldn't maintain the Ascendant Lich's Armament of Devotion for too long.
So the answer for him to run wild in this Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest was clear.
WAA!
In the Dimensional Holy Land, Noah floated on a dazzling Throne of Unnamed Tyranny as two Crystals floated before his eyes.
Two Ascendant Dimensional Shards!
"If I can attain some, I can attain more…"
His voice was maddeningly powerful at this moment as he was doing too many fantastical things, his throne being surrounded by False Grotto Nacres that were constantly broken down into golden liquid that surged into his Origin, Liquified Soul Seas that surged towards his soul, and Physique Refining Pearls that surged towards the musculature of his Body!
All of this was propelling his new Realm even higher as even though it was extremely hard to form the Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos, when Nkah was getting Loot from Thousands of LEGENDS…Reality couldn't help but be broken as he speedily filled his Dream Dimensional Reality Seed with the massive golden Cosmos.
Cosmos that had currently spilled over 1.5 Trillion.
Yes!
He had already surpassed the 'Absolute limitation of 1 Trillion Cosmos with his new Origin, with the requirements to form his first layer of a Dimensional Reality being too great as such a construct needed too much energy.
And yet…he was doing it.
He was continuing to forge as while thousands of microseconds passed in the Dimensional Holy Land, he knew that he would reach Saturation of his Aspects of Existence soon enough with the constant inflow of loot that continued to get Sextupled by RUINATION!
So while this occured, he prepared to sacrifice the poor souls required to keep this loot coming- his will surging out and crushing the two Ascendant Dimensional Shards as he went against his original thought of always keeping one handy.
He had yet to use a single Resplendent Treasure Cache.
There were still dozens of Beta Strata LEGENDS to form Randomized Loot Crates that would still grant a chance to attain more Ascendant Dimensional Shards!
"Go forth."
…!
His voice boomed out as the Essence of two Ascendant Dimensional Shard surged towards two abilities…ridiculously going forward with the goal of making them cost absolutely no resource to cast!
Radiant essence surged around the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny as it was a scene of utter glory for any who could witness it.
Resonance of Nature continued to be utilized by Noah as he sensed the constant push and pull of all of these essences and how they interacted with him.
,m How the Natural Laws of Reality reacted to what he was doing!
THUMP!
He continued to sense everything with clarity as he knew in the near future, his comprehension of all these things with the Resonance of Nature would allow him to exceed his limitation in Edicts and begin to understand the Natural Laws of Reality and the Decretum of Dimensions.
And now, he watched as two concepts fundamentally changed within him.
Ascendant Lich's Armament of Devotion.
Sanguine Ascendancy Domain.
They had the Limitations and restrictions like all other abilities as they had an extremely high cost, and this fundamental nature of these abilities went on to be altered by the unique Ascendant Dimensional Shards as their resource cost was nullified!
One ability provided Noah with bolstrous defense to withstand Beta Strata LEGENDS.
Another granted him his strongest form as the price was too much for him to pay for too long while also casting other skills, but this all changed at this moment!
These two abilities joined the ranks of Ascendant Reality Sever, Concept Corruption, and Runic Bloodline Inscription at this moment to become part of the 5 abilities that had complete nullification to resource cost.
OOOM!
Noah's body surged with even more radiance as his Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos continued to proliferate while his Dream Dimensional Soul continued to expand and become an even brighter gold. His Dream Dimensional Body became even more thought as it could no doubt handle 20 Cycles of the Infinite Dream Physique if not much more!
But this would take time.
Of course, the time scale would be in the Dimensional Holy Land, with the results of Noah's actions showing themselves onto the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest soon enough!
So with his actions completed, he let things run their course as a majority of his will focused on the crucial events unfolding in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
The surging apocalyptic waves of Primogenial LEGENDS.
The billowing auras of dozens of Beta Strata LEGENDS surging forward!
The single existence who had risen from his throne of flames as he moved across the skies like a radiant meteor, his body painted with the aura of a monarch as his right hand….oh was it bright!
Out of everything, his hand shone with such domineering and bright incandescence as it represented part of the heavy weight he carried.
All of these beings were surging towards Noah as survival was not assured nor guaranteed the way things were right now.
Even as to the left of Noah…the Sword of Avalon pointed to the sky.
The visage of Ezekiel gazed at the radiant golden shields blooming around them and cast from Akaris as he raised his sword, his will stable and unfettered as he came to lock onto Noah's figure briefly!
His mind was free of unneeded thoughts as only a single one crossed his mind, with him knowing very well that he couldn't take it back when he made this move here!
'To die with honor…is far better than to live in disgrace. Though, I do not plan on dying…'
WAA!
Knights of Avalon.
…!
The Decretum of a Dimension buzzed with glory.
Its unique ruling came down as dense purple Dimensional essence surged, slowly forming a regal illusory image of a round table that currently had a dozen existences rising!
Existences whose levels of power were utterly ridiculous as even while calling out to them with the Decretum of a Dimension, the Sword of Avalon in Ezekiel's hand was trembling!
This was what was happening around Noah.
Existences revealing their powerful cards in order to survive against the coming Apocalypse, but he didn't just plan to survive.
He planned…to be the one that brought the Apocalypse!
Sanguine Ascendancy Domain.
…!
Time came to a halt.
Stemming from Noah, a massive yet sharp pillar of golden light rose up before rushing back down unto him, causing the scene of a myriad of Halos erupting from his body as they flashed with light and resonated with each other!
It wasn't just 60 at this time as Noah pulled out the 10 from LETHE as well.
Dazzling Ascendancy Halos that showed a golden grandeur of light with some dark bloomed for an instant before they buzzed and began sinking into each other seamlessly!
It occurred at an extremely rapid pace as in no time, Noah's body seemed to be surrounded by a dazzling cylindrical pillar of light that covered him entirely- this pillar giving the illusion of stretching endlessly both top and bottom as it fused into him an instant later.
As he took on his Ascendant Unnamed Kainos Emperor True Form!
HOOONG!
A maddening flash of light bloomed as the events were unfolding ridiculously fast, where due to the coming enemies- Noah finished the transformation in less than a microsecond as the shower of lights didn't continue for longer than required.
The moment it completed, a circular wave of dominion and light surged from Noah silently as it went on to cover vast stretches of land!
A Domain.
The Sanguine Ascendancy Domain!
It was silent and transparent as it was hard to say who if any beings noticed it.
As for his transformation…it could take on many forms as Noah has the Aspects of all his current Bloodlines fused into this Ascendant Unnamed Kainos Emperor True Form.
So he chose his attire and adornment as even the visual effects of the Lich's Armament of Devotion that caused a radiant golden skull Armament to drape over him was made illusory.
There was no massive aurora of wings behind his back as one could see dazzling spinning black halos spinning behind him and below the soles of his feet- feet that were adorned in black Oxford shoes, his lower half sporting sleek obsidian dress pants as a slim fitting white dress shirt hugged his muscular upper body!
The curvature of the 8 packs could be seen from the shirt as golden light vibrated over his skin from the Innate Dimensional Barrier.
His hair normally took a myriad of colors, but it was simply a sleek black at this moment.
He didn't leak wild waves of power as everything seemed contained, the only radiant thing being the Luminous light in his eyes and the small pulsing black halos that were spinning below his feet and those positioned on his back!
The figure of the reified Celestial Arch Lich Ra'Zan could still be seen behind him, Noah currently releasing a silent light of contained tyranny as he seemed like a bomb that could explode at any time!
The vast waves of surging LEGENDS were given a show of utmost glory.
All radiance and luminosity faded as an astoundingly devilish young man appeared before everyone, a tight white shirt and Obsidian pants hugging him as miniature black halos of light spun below and behind him!
With this form active, the horrific pressure this being released seemed to all but fade away as the nearby Primogenial Strata LEGENDS breathed easier, but this didn't last long as this being raised his left and right hand an instant later.
SHAA!
His chest shone with a glorious silver light as a crimson and stellar beam of light shot out.
One went towards his left hand and one to his right- the appearance of these lights bringing down their own horrific pressure.
When the scene was clear, one could see his left hand grasping a massive silver golden sword while his right hand came to hold on to a massive golden purple blue spear of stellar wonders!
The Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion and the Atlatl of Reality had arrived.
The existence wielding them had his crown spinning majestically atop a barely completed throne behind him, his visage eye catching and unforgettable as he pointed the Atlatl of Reality towards the vast sea of enemies with coldness and disdain, his voice blazing out with utmost majesty.
"Emperor's Haki."
…!
Billowing waves of pure will and mental energy bloomed out like surging seas to meet the waves of rushing LEGENDS.
It was the same move Noah had begun with before, but it was vastly different at this moment!
This was because he now adorned 70 Halos.
Halos that had all come together to form the Sanguine Ascendancy Domain that had a few ridiculous abilities to say the least!
First was the suppression of all those under its Domain.
Second was the disruption of abilities up to the level of REIFIED ones as they could be entirely canceled!
Then…there was the Primogenial Sealing.
The capability of the Sanguine Ascendancy Domain to Lock down 2 Aspects of Existence up to the Primogenial Strata- along with anchoring them to the surrounding space!
It was truly top domineering as the nearby tens of thousands of LEGENDS in the vicinity of Noah's Domain suddenly felt their bodies come to a halt, seemingly anchored right where they stood as their Souls and Origins came under an undeniable and heavy wieght!
A weight that made it so they couldn't even lift a single ounce of essence from their own Origins or Souls.
'This….'
The thoughts of these minor characters undeserving of names turned tumultuous as their destinies dimmed entirely.
While their Souls and Origins were sealed, the billowing Haki of an Emperor in his True Form surged over them as it was purely Dream Dimensional Soul Damage Values!
With two of their strongest Aspects sealed…they were truly helpless as they couldn't do anything.
What was Noah's damage at this moment? With 70 Ascendancy Halos, the base multiplier of the Halos became 3500 while the additional multiplier due to his Ascendant Unnamed Kainos Emperor True Form that should have cost a great deal of essence but now cost 0- it granted 17,500!
This was a 21,000x multiplier as with Noah's close to 10,000 Base Damage Values in addition to the Atlatl of Reality he now held, a single attack from him was over 200 Million Damage Values.
When doubled by the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny, over 400 Million Damage Values were easily dished out.
It was…simply bullying Primogenial Strata LEGENDS at this point.
BOOOOM!
The billowing will of the Unnamed Kainos Emperor descended onto anchored and suppressed Primogenial LEGENDS as everywhere his Haki passed…the lives of tens of thousands of LEGENDS dimmed!
Tens of thousands of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS!
As for the nearby Beta Strata LEGENDS who had already seen one of their fall, they were somewhat prepared as Defensive Skills had surrounded them powerfully, but many of them still turned ashen as they gazed forward in shock!
An Astounding Achievement!
WAA!
Over 10,000 Kainos Candidate Emperors have fallen under your authority at once.
Your Authority as an Emperor of this Age has risen greatly.
Essence raged madly as tens of thousands of Mushroom Emperors, Chaos Hounds, Moon Luminoids, Oblivion Ursidae, Virulent Drakes, Celestial Sharks, and even some Kun Pengs fell!
The backbone of the Throne behind Noah gained a few more glimmering points of light as he shone with astounding radiance.
And he seemed to just be beginning as soon after, he called out with glory while his figure began to fly forward- while he shockingly delved towards the Legions of Millions of LEGENDS.
"Sever."
And the more shocking thing…was the fact that the ashen LEGENDS that had to withstand Dream Dimensional Soul Damage floated backwards!
WAA!
Beta Strata LEGENDS…unconsciously retreated at the advancement of a single Ninth Firmament existence!
What a glorious achievement.
What glorious might and tyranny!
Noah paid no attention to this as he watched another Assassin Emperor of Severance manifest, with him being able to call out one at a time as this was an ability that was cast and then kept active while it chained.
But the Saintess of Fiery Damnation still had 5 seconds of active time as she continued to tain down fiery death, Noah now raising his left hand holding the Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion as it flashed with a silver light that reflected onto the anchored corpses of tens of thousands of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS that would never wake again- their bodies all disappearing soon after.
His actions and might were Tyrannical as the wave of millions that was surging forth shockingly slowed and nearly came to a halt.
With Noah surging forward, only a few Beta Kun Pengs began to cluster with somber faces as their bodies lit up in dazzling fashions- a majestic voice booming out at this moment!
"What a glorious level of power."
WAA!
With a sense of unbound power and confidence even after seeing the recent actions, a single humanoid Kun Peng accompanied by over a dozen glorious Kung Pengs neared.
Valdez Tepez.
He came to stare at the Tyrannical and unblemished visage of Noah as he nodded with appreciation, his right hand buzzing as it rose up.
"For having such a power…it is a shame that you are on the enemy's side."
…!
Billowing and intense fluctuations of power began to rise- a shocking clash about to bloom!
At the same time, the death of tens of thousands of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS from the Ancient Races acted as endless fuel for Noah. Fuel for his advancement- fuel for his glory!
In the Dimensional Holy Land, Noah was situated upon a throne that was now covered all around by vast stretches of mountains of False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls.
The Loot from tens of thousands of LEGENDS was immense.
When it was further Sextupled- it just became ridiculous!
It…was enough.
"Enough for full saturation…"
…!
His booming voice reverberated out as the endless mountains of loot brought about from the foundations of existences that had lived for millions of years…all of it surged towards him so he could achieve completion for this stage of his Realm!
Noah planned for 9 Layers of Dimensions for his new Realm of Progression.
Each layer would represent a Dimension as at this moment, he hadn't even begun the proliferation of the first layer as he only had a Seed!
A Dream Dimensional Reality Seed.
The very Essence of Nature had told him that due to his path, proceeding forward would be extremely arduous and require a tremendous amount of resources.
It should have been something that took a great deal of time to achieve!
Yet Noah…
He had taken an opportunity by its reigns as he devoured the foundations and strength of tens of thousands of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS.
The foundations of beings who had collectively lived through billions of years!
It was enough for many things as the mountains of sextupled False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls…Noah's will surged to cover them as they were instantly lulled into his body.
Who said one had to slowly allow seas of essence to build up their foundation?
Who said that one had to slowly watch as Millions of Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos formed?
Who said that Noah couldn't watch hundreds of billions form every second!?
The mountains of loot that should have released their essence slowly were devoured at once as Noah's body trembled and bubbled.
His gloriously strong body buzzed and nearly cracked.
His strong soul shimmering with gold trembled but stood stable!
His Origin that had been forging hundreds of millions of Cosmos came to a halt before an instant later…
BOOOOM!
Hundreds of Billions of these unique Cosmos that should have been hard to form began to proliferate and bloom madly.
His golden Dream Dimensional Soul expanded and churned with majestic storms!
,m His body…had its Organs, Bones, and Musculature constantly refined to the very limits as the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique continued its Cycles.
Above, the Infinite Reality Passages continued to form!
Everything in this location shone with radiance and maddening majesty as Noah went towards nothing but Saturation.
And when he was fully Saturated in all Aspects of Existence…there was nothing that could stop him from forming his First Layer of Dimension.
What would his enemies do then?
What confidence could existences like Valdez Tepez rely on thereafter?!
"Tepez…"
WAA!
As Noah felt the number of Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos spill over 4 Trillion, he thought of the toughest enemy to face in this Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
His clone that took on the form of a Celestial Grimoire spun another page.
Dazzling words began to fill Noah's mind as he continued to enjoy the wonders of Resonance of Nature!
...Tepez gazed at the immensely powerful genius before him with a tinge of regret.
If only someone as accomplished as this appeared in their Race.
If only they fought to restore the honor of Nature and how things once were!
BZZZT!
Essence chaotically began to buzz around Tepez as he raised his right hand.
The waves of Millions spread left and right as they moved to circle the remaining Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses, the vast majority of them currently left bloody or dead as many ripped apart Infinite Willow Trees, Reality Ursidae, Royal Humans, Dragon Phoenixes, and Astral existences lay around lifeless- their crowns forever dim!
The hand that rose from Tepez told the masses of LEGENDS to focus on the remaining weaker beings as he and the Beta Strata LEGENDS around him would focus on the geniuses playing around with the Natural Laws of Reality and Decretum of a Dimension.
The battlefield came to focus.
The visage of Noah in his glorious adornment faced off against the figure of Tepez who stopped in the distance, the shrouded Assassin Emperor of Severance that had been called out earlier showing a shocking level of destruction as its conditions and Multipliers were vastly different!
But since genuine Beta Strata LEGENDS were cognizant of it now, it was shockingly intercepted on its 25th chain before it could stack too many kills!
A Virulent Drake with dark blue scales appeared as its draconic limbs shone, coming to face the scythe of the Assassin Emperor of Severance head on to make sure this dominating ability didn't continue accumulating power.
But…there was a misconception to the damage of this terrifying ability even though it had only chained halfway compared to last time.
Its Damage at the 25th Chain at this moment while cast under Noah's Ascendant True Form…was even higher than the last 50th chain of his normal True Form.
So the results…
BOOM!
Was disbelief and horror painted the Virulent Drake as over 700 Million True Dimensional Soul Damage Values smashed into him.
Under the eyes of Beta Strata LEGENDS who thought they were now prepared, this being was utterly shredded in his Aspects of Existence as his Soul was the first to fall, everything else following soon after.
"..."
A Black Gold Loot Crate bloomed and silently surged towards Noah as the eyes of the Assassin Emperor of Severance were bright, continuing forward to another Beta Strata LEGEND as it called for blood!
But…
"This is enough."
HUUUM!
The undeniable voice rang out as the Assassin Emperor of Severance found its target forcibly changed, its scythe receiving an undeniable tug that directed it towards no other place but the skies where one being stood.
One being whose right hand was shimmering with a heart throbbing light- a shocking pulling force redirecting the very Essence of Sever towards it!
The Assassin Emperor of Severance let off a light of tyranny as it took on the challenge, using the pulling force to go even faster towards the challenger.
It arrived before the hand pulling towards it in a blink as a deadly amount of Damage that average Beta Strata LEGENDS would dread erupted out!
And yet…it was different this time around.
The hand that was stretched out pulsed.
It took in the 750+ Million Dream Dimensional Soul Damage as it began to shine with soul shaking light, the eyes of the holder of this hand beginning to shine with luminous understanding as he gazed forward!
Yet the damage was still disastrous as the fair skin around this hand began to melt- revealing a shocking allure of gold that lay beneath as this was what absorbed the damage.
As the damage was absorbed, the image of the Assassin Emperor of Severance was stopped by the shocking force of this golden hand that was being revealed- only to be dissipated soon after even as its gaze remained cold and unyielding.
"..."
Just like that, a shocking ability was pulled and stopped by the dazzling right hand of Valdez Tepez!
His hand…that shone with immeasurable weight…
WAA!
Another page of the Celestial Grimoire turned after showing the unfolding events from different perspectives as Noah's face remained calm, his full focus elsewhere.
The explosion of his Aspects of Reality reached their very summit at this moment as his Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos spilled over 9 Trillion as it forged towards a nice and even final number.
A number that would confirm he had reached….Saturation!
His Dream Dimensional Soul surged endlessly with the grandeur of gold.
His body shone with golden crystallized light as he seemed to be forged and made at the centers of Dimensional Singularities!
And not too long after as he had absorbed simply too many Physique Refining Pearls, False Grotto Nacres, and Liquified Soul Seas…
HOOOONG!
His body radiated luminous golden light all around as all of his Aspects of Existence reached Noah's own acceptable boundary from what he knew he could achieve!
Your Dream Dimensional Reality Seed has reached full Saturation.
…!
Your Dream Dimensional Soul has reached full Saturation.
Your Dream Dimensional Body has reached full Saturation.
Three dazzling prompts came as they delivered to Noah the fateful news.
10 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos.
An exceedingly vast and endless Soul Sea and an immeasurably tout body!
Your Dream Dimensional Reality Seed grants an additional 5,000 True Dimensional Dream Damage and Defense Values.
Your Reserves of the Essence of Reality have been elevated to the Maximum of 10 Million.
Your Affinity to the Natural Laws of Reality has risen greatly.
BOOOM!
Unfiltered and Celestial radiance erupted from Noah's body as every part of him screamed of wonder and majesty!
Even the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny he sat on became illuminated by his radiance that only continued to get brighter.
Your Dream Dimensional Body's Innate Dimensional Barrier is now equivalent to 150% of the highest reachable Defense Values in your strongest form.
…!
Your Dream Dimensional Sea can more profoundly resonate with nature, the formation of TABOO concepts becoming 1,000% faster as you gain more perception of the Natural Laws of Reality and Decretums of Dimensions.
Shocking prompts descended before Noah's eyes as his already ridiculous Damage and Defence Values gained an additional base of 5,000!
His maximum Reserves of the Essence of Reality became 10 Million!
The Innate Dimensional Barrier around his body alone was about to become just disgusting to his enemies as the number continued to rise.
All these…were just the boons of reaching full Saturation.
You have met the conditions to begin establishing your First Layer of a Dimensional Reality.
"..."
Noah stared at these words serenely as the shining lights around him began to dim down.
But before they could dim entirely…
"Triple Empower all Aspects of Existence."
HOONG!
From the depths of his body, 300 magisterial True Stars of Conquest rose.
Their purpose was singular as the domineering light of Conquest went on to bathe his Origin, Body, and Soul!
The boons from full saturation further secured his power against the current enemies as their empowering might not necessarily grant quantifiable results, but their results were bound to elevate him even further as from this moment onward…he just needed to comprehend the resonance of his Aspects of Existence and break through.
Would it be something hard…or just incredibly easy?!
Noah didn't forge forward just yet as he grasped the situation around him first.
The newly appearing figure of Valdez Tepez and his astounding right hand that shone with golden incandescence!
Noah's will surged as his True Clone in the form of the Celestial Grimoire exploded with even more authority, shining words beginning to be written once more.
...A maddeningly powerful right hand.
Valdez Tepez felt its surging strength that he had gotten control over these past years, and yet it still didn't feel like a part of him as it held something even he couldn't fully understand!
But this was the strength his father had passed down to him before he perished.
The Will that had passed from father to son as it carried down the hopes of the Great Commander!
'The Will of Commander Feng will not be reigned in by a single Primordial Genius.'
WAA!
His essence moved.
He resonated with his hand that had dissipated the enemy's attack as it now shone with blinding gold light, the weaving of tendinous Musculature tightly wrapping around each other being clear.
The entire arm seemed like it was forged from a celestial haven as it caused the surroundings to tremble, Tepez's eyes releasing rays of profundity as glorious Halos erupted and fused into his body, many of them Black in color as the magisterial form of a golden crimson scaled Kun Peng appeared!
Two massive claw like draconic Limbs were sprouting on its front sides as a long extending dead sea monstrously beautiful tail extended behind him- wings of draconian flames erupting from his back as his draconic head...it released waves of Royal majesty that couldn't be matched.
Of the two massive claw like limbs, the right one released the same terrifying terror of the prior right hand Tepez held as it now seemed even more glorious, much of Noah's authority and suppression being pushed away since the arrival of this hand!
Thereafter, Tepez only spoke lightly as his right hand flashed.
Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler.
...!
OOOOOM!
Essence surged and converged madly.
All of it spun crazily behind Tepez as it formed into the massive REIFIED figure of an existence whose race couldn't fully be made out, the only distinct thing being the fact that numerous titanic arms sprouted off the sides of this creature whose entire body was made of gold and a menacing crimson light, its head being more feminine as its seemed like the anthropomorphic mixture of a Dragon and human!
Four Crimson gold horns rose on its head as extremely sharp flaming wings shone behind it.
The waves of maddening power it released were unbelievable as when Noah gazed upon it, his eyes quantified the coming Damage Values to shockingly be close to 1000 Million.
SHAA!
The many hands of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler surged towards Noah as they released a shocking light of despair!
Yet the Unnamed Kainos Emperor remained unfettered as he once more cast Ascendant Reality Sever, the power of this ability at this moment being even more dreadful as it easily spilled over 700 Million.
This was due to Noah's base boost being given an additional 5,000 after he reached the saturation of his Origin, where the first attack of Sever was now similar to the past 25th Chain of it this same ability!
BOOOM!
The pulsing hands of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler smashed into the scythe of the blooming Assassin Emperor of Severance as the stable space of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest...began to rip in ever so small amounts.
Shockingly, even though there was a discrepancy in the Damage Values of a few hundred million and the Assassin Emperor of Severance had its visage faded first, the massive and terrifying crimson gold visage of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler also began to fade soon after as its eyes and horns shone with power and malice.
Yet Tepez was unfazed at this as an instant later...
"Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler."
He calmly called out once more.
BZZZT!
And the massive figure with shining power and malice formed once more as the massive claw like limbs of Tepez shone!
He wasn't worried if his enemy could clash with his abilities, nor if he was even profoundly powerful enough to dispel it with wild power.
This was because the weight of the hand he bore was too big.
The ability he had cast once could be cast again...and again...and again!
This was due to the will he carried.
This was due to the hand he held!
It was...EMPYRAL!
WAA!...
Another page of the Celestial Grimoire turned as after Noah read its recent words, his eyes could help but release shocking beams of light!
The Heart of Destiny shone with luminous light above everything in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
Below it, the gorgeous figure of a Kun Peng with two draconic front limbs could be seen- its right limb especially menacing and shining with golden light as it represented shocking glory!
EMPYRAL.
What exactly did this mean?
Yes, one could brand abilities onto Empyral Bones, Organs, and Musculature that they could then cast freely without the need for resources.
But was that really it?
The answer was that it was never so simple!
Every time that an Empyral accessory was utilized, one's will had to initiate it.
The strength of one's will- the direct power of one's soul…it would always be required to bring to fruition such an action!
So even though no Mana or Essence of Reality was required, one would gradually spend the might of their soul as they repeatedly called out the inscribed ability.
And Valdez Tepez…had an astounding will.
Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler
BOOM!
The glorious ability was cast once more as a massive crimson gold figure bloomed, the 4 horns on its head and wild feminine draconic aura making one feel a sense of awe and eeriness at the same time as its hands weaved in different directions constantly.
But the reply to this…
"Sever."
Was the blooming of the Assassin Emperor of Severance who clashed into the explosive force of the many hands that shone with an enticing light, whatever force that remained from the impact smashing into Noah's body as he seemingly absorbed it all with no issues- his Innate Dimensional Barrier that nearly reached 500 Million by itself alone dissipating any residual Damage as the Lich's Armament of Devotion added an additional 600 Million…making Noah's current Defense Values stably stand above a Billion.
"..."
1 Billion defense values…constantly!
And the word constantly could be used freely here as Noah had his Innate barrier always, and after reducing the cost of Lich's Armament of Devotion to 0…he could also choose to keep this skill active at all times.
His Ascendant Unnamed Kainos Emperor True Form…he could also choose to retain this form at all times as ridiculously, it didn't cost him anything to do so!
From this point onward, he could always be on his strongest form without the need to unfuse with his Ascendancy Halos if he did not wish to do so- with his form always remaining wondrous and pristine as the effects of Noah doing such a thing…would not be entirely prevalent just yet.
HOOONG!
The air cleared as the golden crimson eyes of Tepez shone, his thick voice ringing out.
"Leave this enemy to me. You all kill the rest."
The command of the leader of the Ancient Legions rang out as the Beta Stratas moved, dozens of them surging towards the remaining Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses as Noah wouldn't just leave them be!
BRRRR!
The Saintess of Fiery Damnation still laughed with happiness and joy as she rained death and damnation onto any of those she could, her Damage that grew strengthened with Noah being capable of even decimating a care Beta Strata LEGEND as this wasn't all that Noah did.
"Descend."
WAA!
He called upon the full pressure and suppression of something else to come down as the clear skies changed color.
The Hundreds of Reality Passages from Valdez and nearby Beta Strata LEGENDS were squeezed and pushed further back as thick and massive mountains began to proliferate across the skies!
60...70...80!
80 radiant Infinite Reality Passages pressed down with a horrific pressure from the very skies!
80…as 7 more Cycles of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique had occurred while Noah was completing his saturation, and the Limit Breaking Extreme Physiques of Mana, Arcadian, Chassis, Relegator, and Burgeoning had finished their second rounds of Refinement.
80 wasn't even the maximum right now, it was just what Noah could forge until now as he utilized Ascendant Flasks of Life and Death to replenish his Essence of Reality constantly!
Their grandeur was ecstatic.
Their might and suppression…were even more glorious.
With the weight of 80 mountainous Passages pressing down, Noah moved towards the existence whose grandeur had not yet lost to his as he also pressured the Beta Strata LEGENDS around him, so far revealing only Sever, Lich's Smite of Retribution, and Fireball as a few REIFIED abilities had yet to take center stage!
There were Resplendent Treasure Caches for him to utilize on 3 existences.
There were many more Beta Strata LEGENDS for him to turn into Randomized Loot Crates!
And...there were millions of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS he needed to Loot to further progress his Realm when he formed his first Dimensional Reality.
So he moved forward as even with the appearance of an EMPYRAL appendage, he wasn't worried!
—
In the distance, the most powerful Primordials grouped up together as most of the surviving ones had entered the domains laid out by Akaris and Ezekiel, with Katelyn being the only one outside these domains as she was currently thrashing the Chaos Hound Beta Strata LEGEND that had eradicated Nefertiti!
The figure of Ezekiel came into focus as his Sword of Avalon was currently buzzing, the Knights of Avalon that he had called out withstanding the assault of two Beta Strata LEGENDS currently as Ezekiel gazed towards the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler that had risen in the skies once more.
The Sword of Avalon was buzzing with a distasteful light when feeling the Essence permeating from this REIFIED ability of an EMPYRAL appendage!
Ezekiel himself had a somber expression as he couldn't help but speak under his breath.
"Vile."
…!
Vile!
What did he mean by this? Why would an existence connected to the Avalon Dimension look upon the mixture of Dimensional Essence among other things of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler and call it vile?!
BOOM!
Over three Beta Stratas smashed into the domain of the Shield of Dawn set down by Akaris at this moment as it shook Ezekiel out of his reverie, his eyes trying to refocus on the enemies around him as Juliette, the Young Emperor, and Aegon struggled to throw out their own attacks to support the two most illustrious beings around them at this moment- Akaris and Ezekiel!
Their fight was here within the enclosed walls of the glimmering golden shields.
If they could not withstand the assault...a portion of the most powerful Geniuses of Pure-Blooded Primordials would fall here today!
Outside of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
The masses of Primogenial and Beta Strata LEGENDS moved with fervor as they gazed at the stellar Domain Rift of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum shrunken down and barely held in place by the wills of the Alpha Strata LEGENDS.
"How could this happen? How was it not caught by none of the Seers?!"
Voices of rage and indignation rang out as all these knowledgeable beings had long since recognized the gravity of the situation.
If this truly was a trap, then the one who had sprung it must have had a great deal of planning as what lay inside the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum could very well be the end of the lives of many geniuses!
The Pure-Blooded Primordial Bloodlines had already moved and contacted their counterparts as while everyone was busily trying to figure everything out...
BOOOM!
The space cracked open above this region as a domineering wave of authority pressed down.
All voices ceased as the massive figures and domains of the Alpha Strata LEGENDS of the Pure-Blooded Primordial Bloodlines even shrunk!
An aura far exceeding the Beta and Alpha Strata appeared above as a massive figure tore open the veils of space itself to appear, the grand image of an existence with radiant pairs of wings on his legs and back landing in the eyes of many as his visage was kingly and muscular!
The space above his head was free on any crown as his authority was veiled, this being holding astounding beauty and charm as he had a face that seemed no older than a man in his 30s.
His golden eyes were piercing as when one looked at him, they couldn't fully decide whether he was from the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, Astral Bloodline, or Royal Human!
Yet his voice...was heavy.
"You allowed my sister to walk in to trap so simply?"
BOOM!
The words were akin to thunderclaps in the ears of the Alpha Strata LEGENDS as their Domains shrank even further, their grandeur and might being dispelled ever so slightly as none of them could find words to reply to this being!
This being who floated down as his visage was over 10 times bigger than the Alpha Strata LEGENDS- his eyes sharp as he gazed at everything while a crystalline golden medallion around his neck began to shine.
"If anything happens to her, the Alliance will not be able to protect you from my wrath."
...!
The words of this being reverberated in the minds of the Alpha Strata LEGENDS as the light from the medallion on his chest illuminated on the nearly closed Domain Rift, seemingly crossing through it as a shocking reaction unfolded!
A reaction...that caused a hazy screen of light to rise up in the space devoid of stars.
A hazy screen of light that showed a gem illuminating below the Armament of none other than Akaris, with the scene around her gradually forming as the many LEGENDS outside the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum saw a delayed scene of events that had played out some time ago.
A scene that showed the scattered Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses on one side, gazing at an army of Millions of Primogenial Strata LEGENDS and dozens of Beta Strata LEGENDS!
It was a scene that caused terror in the hearts of all the Primogenial Strata LEGENDS here as even Brightborn gazed forward in shock and horror at such a scene!
The expression of the powerful existences who had arrived changed when he saw this, his eyes becoming even colder as his voice boomed out again.
"The only reason I haven't started a massacre is that her Life Medallion has not shattered. Where somehow even amidst all this, she still remains alive."
...!
Shock and awe reverberated throughout as outside the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, a delayed version of the unfolding events began to play out- the privacy and secrecy of the Domain within began to be laid out!
"We can request for a Grotto Haven Master to be dispatched..."
Seeing the shocking scenes, the Astral Alpha Strata LEGEND spoke out slowly as science reigned.
His words seemed reasonable, but nobody was able to reply to him!
The unknown existence exceeding Alpha Strata that had just arrived remained silent as he watched the unfolding events on the illusory screen, his thoughts only known to him as this unstable situation unfolded.
—
Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler would be cast.
The Assassin Emperor of Severance would be sent out to meet it.
BOOOM!
10 such clashes had occurred so far as the skies were filled with healing rips, the battle occurring at this moment being dreadful as if a weaker Beta Strata LEGENDS were caught up in the middle of these two Ninth Firmament existences- losing their lives would be but a given!
Seeing such an existence with such might and talent before he even became a LEGEND, Valdez shook his head with pity as he voiced out amidst their clashing abilities.
"Do you know what you fight for? The beings you fight for? What their leaders have done? Your strength and Candidacy..."
Valdez gazed at the glimmering backbone of a throne and crown behind Noah as he continued.
"...it could have been used for so much greater."
WAA!
A pity.
This was what Valdez Tepez felt the more he saw this being match the attacks being sent out from an Empyral appendage!
So he couldn't help but think of what-ifs.
He couldn't help but think...
'If only the Will of the Great-'
"If only the Will of the Great Commander was spread out to more Chosen Emperors."
...!
WAA!
His eyes released beams of lights as he heard the Tyrannical voice of this being reverberated in his mind- and it was heard only by him!
The voice carried what his ongoing thoughts would have been as Tepez narrowed his eyes dangerously, gazing towards the far away being who continued.
"You carry great power, but your attainment in Destiny is only so so. Thus...I can see some things, Valdez Tepez."
...!
Noah spoke freely while gazing at the terrifying being who was protected on all sides by the EMPYRAL appendage attached to him, his thoughts being the only thing he could get across in order to progress this battle forward even faster.
Valdez was calm even amidst his shocking words that would have ruffled the minds of others, this being instead continuing to cast another Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler as Noah's next words were ones that could not be ignored.
"You carry a great weight and a great Will...but, are you sure of its identity?"
BOOOM!
Yes.
Since some time ago, Noah had read the perspective of Tepez through the Celestial Grimoire.
There, he had heard of the words 'Commander Feng' as if there was any genuine connection there, the ability he had gained from the Forgotten Reality where he accepted the Will of Commander Feng, Emperor's Aged Remembrance...this ability would have triggered!
If there was any connection, then when the EMPYRAL appendage that carried Commander Feng's Will appeared in full bloom, Emperor's Aged Remembrance would have been triggered!
But it remained gray and inactive this whole time.
It meant that on this Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest and in this being before him- there weren't any traces of Commander Feng!
The Will of a genius existence couldn't be shaken so easily.
Yet the words of the Unnamed Kainos Emperor to the INTERNUNCIO EMPEROR were heavy and not to be taken lightly as the eyes of this being shine with intense sharpness!
Yet he was still just as valiant as Tepez replied coolly.
"A Pure-Blooded Primordial cannot understand the sacrifice of Commander Feng against the Empyral Deceiver. His advanced planning that warned the Ancient Races and gave us a path for survival…that is the being whose Will I am carrying."
BOOOM!
The vibrant EMPYRAL appendage released bright golden luster as if resonating with Valdez's words, almost as if agreeing with him of his assertion!
"What does someone like you know of the Great Commander?"
BZZZT!
The Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler bloomed with even more shocking ferocity as around these two beings, the Beta Strata LEGENDS weaving around them to circle the remaining Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses- the battle about to become deadly for them if Noah remained contained for much longer!
At this juncture, Noah didn't cast Sever to dispel the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler, his hands holding the Atlatl of Reality and the Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion as he gazed at the many hands of the coming REIFIED ability silently.
His eyes released a light of astounding tyranny as he spoke.
"What do I know of Commander Feng?"
OOOOOM!
The many arms of the Monumental Defiler swung down with a menacing crimson gold light as Noah withstood it all with his pure body- his body that was covered by his Innate Dimensional Barrier and the might of the Lich's Armament of Devotion!
BOOM!
An attack with close to 1 Billion Niflheim Damage Values smashed into his as the sandy gold of Dream Essence surged, dispelling everything coming as his Innate Dimensional Barrier alone matched the Damage Values of the Attack thrown after Noah achieved full saturation and gained another 5,000 defense values to his base boosts.
And when considering the Lich's Armament of Devotion, another 700+ Million Dimensional Defense Values covered Noah as weak Beta Strata LEGENDS...couldn't even touch him.
He didn't have to cast any extra ability or do anything as if someone's attack didn't reach over 1 Billion and then exceed that by hundreds of millions, they couldn't even touch a semblance of his hair!
"In the Era, I am the one most knowledgeable on the Will of Commander Feng!"
WAA!
Noah proclaimed these words inside Valdez's mind as he still had to keep up his appearances as a Pure-Blooded Primordial, his will surging forth as he sent wisps of his Memories from the Forgotten Reality towards Valdez.
At the same time, his Body released a domineering flash of light as it rebuffed the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler easily, the crimson gold draconic eyes of this REIFIED ability releasing a deadly light as it faded!
The surging Beta Stratas in the surroundings saw this scene as their faces turned exceedingly sour.
Behind the cluster of Pure-Blooded Primordials, Katelyn's silver head rose as her mirror body was covered in the golden crimson blood of a Beta Strata Chaos Hound, her wrathful eyes calming down a little after the death of Nefertiti and unsuccessful return of her consciousness as she turned her heavy emotions to the coming LEGENDS.
Around the silver Halos surrounding her, constant lights pulsed as Mirror Beast LEGENDS began to surge out, the Pure-Blooded Primordials in peril gaining another lifeline as brings like Akaris, Ezekiel, Juliette, and the Young Emperor were the only ones commanding others and keeping the LEGENDS of the Ancient Races at bay!
Those contributing the most were clear as while Noah easily withstood the attack of an Empyral appendage, he showed his power and unfettered resolve as he focused the firepower of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation towards the surrounding LEGENDS, Sever once more being cast as the targets were the enemies in the surroundings.
Primogenial or Beta Strata didn't matter for Noah as these beings who had been in this Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest for millions of years preparing for this attack...they had stumbled onto an unbreakable wall today as Noah didn't look too kindly upon them.
This was because they had become tools for others.
There was no trace of Commander Feng as even though the creation and plot of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest was arranged by the Ancient Races, the one who had pulled upon the strings of Valdez Tepez was another force entirely.
A force that seemed to have extended its influence to even his Father who could have been an existence even greater than Alpha if not at the Grotto Haven stage- and this influence stemmed from the Niflheim Dimension!
Noah's task at this moment...was to figure out what this influence was as this would be the true enemy.
Just what entity from the Niflheim Dimension had etched its essence into the rulership of the Kun Peng Bloodline that one of its most astounding geniuses carried its will and was fooled into believing it was someone else?!
This was a question that had to be answered!
And Noah went about it the straightforward way as when Valdez saw the wisps of memories coming in, his stern expression remained hardened as he perused through them silently.
He saw bits of memories of the Olden Will inside the Forgotten Reality, as well as the true and genuine scenes of Commander Feng that Noah was shown from a different Age entirely!
"This..."
The stout and strong mind of a genius was still too strong and not so easily steered.
"...cannot be."
HOONG!
The Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler reformed behind Valdez once more as his stern and tenacious eyes carried a trace of grimness at this moment!
His will went on to cover the glorious EMPYRAL appendage that was his right hand.
It was passed down from his father and connected to him intricately, where the True blood that flowed from his heart coursed through this Limb as if it was his own.
It had long since become a part of him as his destiny told him in the future…he could refine Empyral Bones, Organs, and Musculature even faster while utilizing this hand!
An inheritance that ate up the life-force of his own father…should be carrying the will that his father shouldered, right?!
Outside of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest.
The eyes of the Pure-Blooded Primordial LEGENDS gazed at the delayed version of events playing out in shock as the first unfathomable thing was the number of enemies their geniuses faced.
The next unfathomable thing after that…was the fact that these geniuses actually amended to keep at bay the Legions of millions that even if they were out here, it would still be a disastrous war to eradicate them!
But the scenes of the figures of Katelyn, Ezekiel, and Akaris calling down shocking means played out as the Primogenial LEGENDS felt disbelief and shame at their own power.
Then…the scene of Alexander King came.
The scene of this being eradicating hundreds of LEGENDS with a mere shout!
"Impossible…!"
The LEGENDS that prided their power and thought they had the chance to ascend the True Throne felt their confidence shatter the moment that they saw hundreds of others just like them perish from a mere shout.
The visage of Akaris's brother had a serious expression as he watched on, while one particular LEGEND felt his body trembling in pure disbelief.
Brightborn.
This Royal Human LEGEND watched Noah's image that he very easily recognized as he felt a chill run down his back, thinking back to all the times he talked to this being and how he talked to him like a senior!
It seemed that the whole time…he could have chosen to erase a LEGEND like him with a shout as such a Reality was extremely difficult for Brightborn to realize.
What he didn't know…was that Noah didn't have the level of power he displayed currently just days ago when they were traversing on the Purple Endeavor.
What he didn't know was that in a matter of days, this existence had gained the strength to tear apart Primogenial LEGENDS and come to match Beta Strata LEGENDS!
All of the Primordials that currently watched the delayed version of events in shock…witnessed the current power of geniuses displayed as none of them would truly come to know just how quickly this power was gained for one being in particular!
One being whose efforts alone aided in holding back Legions of Millions.
—
The action of transplanting Empyral appendages onto others was rare, with some not even knowing of its possibility across the vast Realities and Dimensions.
It wasn't something that could be done freely as for the cost of merely granting Valdez Tepez a single EMPYRAL appendage, the entire lifeline and Empyral Bones, Organs, and Musculature that his father had cultivated perished.
For him to have taken the actions he had and granted this to Valdez…could it have been due to anything but the strong desire to see the Ancient Races thrive and pass down the Will of the Great Commander?!
This was the ingrained knowledge and understanding Valdez had as it was hard for him to change it even though he had received very clear and direct information that told him otherwise from the being before him.
The being…that had withstood The Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler with his very body!
"..."
Valdez hadn't pulled out his strongest possible attack, but even this was shocking to see as after listening to the words of this being, the grimness in his eyes only grew. This…was due to nothing but destiny.
For Valdez to reach the heights he had reached, his destiny was astounding as his sense of it matched, with his soul carrying a TABOO Edict geared towards Destiny!
His current understanding of Destiny…could not deny the memories he had just received as this was what caused his stern expression to turn grim.
There was no falsehood within them.
It couldn't be possible, right?
What he believed all these years, what his father had passed down to him, it couldn't all have its purpose and reasoning torn down by the words and memories of a single being, right?
Geniuses were geniuses.
Their souls were strong as their wills were immovable, where even the fact that Valdez had looked at Noah's words and memories with reason without denying them and simply continuing to attack was rare to see!
Unlike many other prideful geniuses, the thoughts of Valdez Tepez- a Commander of Legions of Primordials…actually gave the time and benefit of the doubt to his enemy.
His will focused on his dazzling right hand that shone with power and glory.
Was this EMPYRAL appendage attached to him…really not what he thought it was?
WAA!
Destiny weaved chaotically.
With Noah's words and memories that exposed the truth, a seed of doubt and hesitation was planted.
This…was enough!
—
A consciousness was roused as its first feeling was maddening wrath and annoyance.
This was because it was roused prematurely.
It was being roused because it felt a sense of hesitation and rejection from the host it had been utilizing this whole time- a rejection that shouldn't have come at all as even if it did, it should have been years later when its goal had been achieved!
How foolish.
The consciousness was powerful as it came to attention fully in an extremely short period of time.
It was bathing in seas of immense darkness as with its waking, churning crimson light bloomed.
—
In the skies of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest, a shocking scene bloomed as just when the doubting gaze of Valdez Tepez went to his magisterial golden EMPYRAL appendage, a crimson light of maddening authority shot from it!
The eyes of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler that were cast behind him resonated and shone brightly as a shocking domain bloomed- a domain that spread out all around and seemingly stopped the very movement of time itself.
…!
With the brightening eyes of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler, the eyes of Valdez Tepez dimmed as darkness overcame him, his consciousness coming to a microsecond later as in his Kun Peng form, he found himself in a space of exceeding darkness.
The floor he was on felt viscous and stable, his very soul vibrating with shock as it felt the terrifying Will that had pulled him into this space- a will that was currently covered by blinding crimson gold light that made his majestic figure of a Kun Peng look like a mere Ant!
What do you think you are doing?
HOONG!
With a voice so gloriously powerful and pristine that his soul became briefly lost, the will boomed inside his mind.
Tepez was quick as his genius was not for show, his eyes gradually becoming filled with pain and unwillingness as he thought of his father while looking at this unknown Will before him!
"Many years ago, my father passed down what remained of himself as he gave me the inherited Will of Commander Feng. You…are not that will, are you?"
…!
Feminine in nature.
Glorious in power.
A voice that seemed to tug onto one's very soul as it came out as if it was higher in position and power that all those below it were simply nothing!
Your father gave his life away so that his Lineage of the Kun Pengs could survive and gain the chance of revenge against Primordials. Does it matter what Will I am if you get this power?
WAA!
Domineeringly powerful words buzzed in Valdez's mind as his heart felt great pain!
What had his father done? Just whose will did he take in and pass down to him? If it wasn't the will of the Great Commander, should he still accept its power all the same to further his goal for revenge?
Oh, you seem to be under the misconception that I still needed your permission after you've bathed in so much of my power.
…!
The crimson golden light maddeningly increased as Valdez's soul couldn't help but shudder.
Since this vessel has arrived into the vast Realities, its goal could be considered half complete. The other Vessels should provide even greater results…mmm, let's see what caused this early awakening.
BOOM!
The moment the voice finished, the billowing crimson gold light surged like an endless wave, surging into Valdez's small figure in a terrific manner!
A shocking development!
Terrifying authority bloomed from the EMPYRAL Appendage attached to Valdez as an instant later, Noah's body and will buzzed with power.
In the terrifying domain that had erupted where everything seemed to be halted, Noah's will became active as he was among the few that came to right away.
Behind him, the Sword of Avalon cried out with a resplendent purple light of honor and royalty as it seemed extremely averse to the dimensional essence surging out from the EMPYRAL Appendage currently!
The glimmering golden Shields from the SHIELD OF DAWN also came to life in this stopped world as the radiance of Katelyn's surging silver grandeur also burst out as well.
They all came to as they stared in somberness at the existence that was Valdez Tepez.
His eyes currently released a terrifying light as the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler had shockingly turned its many arms onto the glorious figure of this Kun Peng, the pairs of crimson gold horns on its head now releasing a menacing demonic light as its horns rose ever higher!
The Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler then began to shrink into the figure of Tepez, its eyes cold and detached as this shocking scene couldn't be so easily understood.
And yet from the distance, Ezekiel looked at the blooming scene with somberness and aversion as he seemed to have an idea about the vile essence that his Sword of Avalon was reacting to!
He couldn't let this emerging essence achieve its wishes as his gaze turned to the one person that possibly stood a chance to stop the transformation- the existence currently wielding two soul shaking weapons.
"He is tainted with the Essence of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler that is currently fusing with him- do not let him do it completely as nothing in the Beta Strata can even stand a glimpse of the power of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler- even if it's an insignificant Will of theirs!"
...!
This message was conveyed in soundwaves that smashed into the ears of none other than Noah who gazed at the unfolding situation with calmness and luminous eyes that were seeking something.
"Oh?" His answer was calm to the buzzing words of Ezekiel who had the purple luster of a Decretum of the Avalon Dimension burn even brighter.
Ezekiel who after seeing Noah's laid back expression shook his head, thinking this being truly didn't account for the gravity of the situation.
"We have to work fast, so please trust my words. I have the name of Ezekiel as a Pure-Blooded Primordial...but I have another name as a Dimensional Royalty of the Avalon Dimension. I have faced the forces of Dimensional Hellion Rulers before as the Essence I feel here...it is of one of the most dreadful Rulers!"
Ezekiel revealed his identity early- and he did so because all signs pointed to the fact that the being he was looking for was more than likely this one before him.
They couldn't both perish when he had just located the other.
Yet...why was he still so laid back as the dense aura of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler began to permeate?
Ezekiel gazed at the constantly spreading light as he began to rise, his sword stretched forward as he would make the first move if he had to while he spoke into the ears of only Noah once more!
"As a Prince of the Avalon Dimension and one of those holding a Seat, I implore you to make a move before this transformation is successful. I, Ezekiel- no, I, Lancelot...advise you to release the strongest attack you can muster to foil the descent of a Will of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler that we cannot handle right now."
WAA!
Lancelot!
His Pure-Blooded Primordial name was Ezekiel as his Dimensional Royalty name was Lancelot! Lancelot of the Avalon Dimension!
This being implored Noah to stop the occurring transformation as even after that…Noah still didn't make a move.
"Hey now."
The voice of the Akaris rose as she also withstood the domain that stopped time and beings as her unique authority spread out.
"It really seems like we should be making a move now, right?"
Her words were actually in line with the secretive words Ezekiel had sent towards Noah, and yet Noah still paid no heed to this as next up- the visage of Katelyn floated to appear behind him.
She was silent as she only gazed at him briefly before turning to focus on the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler that had nearly fully sunk into the glorious figure of a Kun Peng!
At this moment, Noah replied to the words and questions of all those conscious.
"Let the one behind it all descend. Attaining their authority will be all that much more glorious."
WAA!
The reason why he continued to watch the unfolding situation was due to his destiny buzzing wildly!
Killing Beta Stratas and using Resplendent Treasure Caches on them was a great thing, especially massive and powerful ones like the Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead. But if he could utilize a Cache on an Uber powerful boss that seemed to have shocking history…then it was a no brainer.
Of course as always, with every terrifying risk…there was an even greater reward.
If one survived to enjoy it anyways.
BOOM!
The terrifying aura continued to bloom as there was one factor involved in all this that some may have overlooked.
There was…Valdez Tepez.
"OOOOOH!"
This being bellowed out with his very own will as he shockingly held his sanity and mind while a terrifying construct entered into his very Aspects of Existence, a tinge of unwillingness coursing through his eyes
"Even though I may not carry the Will of the one I thought. The weight and survival of my Lineage still lies on me as I will not allow you to use me as a Vessel for your purposes."
…the words were of power and great resolve as the massive body of the Kun Peng began to tremble- horrific cracks beginning to permeate across it as a Will tried to fully insert itself into a Genius of the Ancient Races!
The visage of a Kun Peng was that of utmost glory.
It seemed untouched and unblemished as at this moment, an existence sought to taint it and descend onto new lands through it!
But the regal will of a Kun Peng would not allow this.
Especially the will of a great genius as even though it was going against a Dimensional Hellion Ruler, Valdez was unfettered!
You fool…this is the same purpose you wished for just through different means, why reject it so much?
The languid feminine voice rang out once more in Valdez's mind as it held a trace of surprise at this being's resiliency.
"Whatever deals my Father made are not mine. I will not lose myself and my sanity to a being whose Will I do not understand…leave me!"
BOOM
The Liquified soul of Valdez trembled and surged with the authority of rejection as it even began to destabilize, with the Will of Valdez choosing to rather perish than be taken over!
He was someone astounding and a true genius as he had broken the limits of his Body and Soul, and yet he now put them on a path of destruction in order to not let this entity use him for his own gains.
CRACK! CRACK!
Fissures and cracks permeated across the body of the Kun Peng as the state of Valdez deteriorated extremely quickly, the unknown will within him raising its brows in surprise once more as this was an unexpected variable.
This genius Kun Peng had bathed in the authority of the EMPYRAL appendage carrying her Will for years as he shouldn't have been able to reject her descent, and yet his very Blood and Soul burned as he would rather choose a path of destruction than be reigned in!
Time was running out.
If she could not establish herself now, she would forever lose a foothold with this Vessel.
This is why I disliked you Kun Pengs so much.
…!
Always talking of what is right and honor like the Avalonian fools, and yet without the strength to back it…it is why you will never break out of these Barren Lands.
BOOM!
The will surging within Valdez unfurled with a light of tyranny as it was not something that the wishes of a single genius could reign in.
Perish if you wish to and miss out on grand power. Just like your father, a coward to the very end as what he couldn't handle- he just passed down to his son. No wonder you all lost to a single being's machinations all those years ago..
…!
Painful words that caused Valdez's heart to tear rang out as his Kun Peng form roared out, the visage of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler actually unfusing from him as this action caused his entire back to split open as if his whole body was being splintered apart!
The menacing horns of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler released rays of deadly light as its detached crimson gold eyes came to land on the existences freely moving within its domains.
It felt the essence of Avalon it hated as well as other Dimensional Essenced that shouldn't be clumped together all at once, but its eyes focused on the cause of her early awakening as it was none other than the visage of a being who carried two pulsing weapons.
The being that actually carried the Will that she mimicked to make tools of a Kun Peng Lineage!
The Will only glanced at the calm eyes of this being who did nothing with a light of coldness as its gaze went around it next.
On the masses of millions of LEGENDS.
On the Beta Stratas with Ancient Bloodlines slowly coming to at this moment!
Since the rejection of this Kun Peng Prince was too strong as it could affect her descent if she continued any further, she would simply find another Vessel to do so.
A vessel that unlike the rigid mind of the current one she occupied- it could be melded to her wishes and easily reigned in.
There were just a few conditions for the Bloodline to fit.
It had to be of the Ancient Races, hold a high level of purity, and stem from the Olden Times as her authority was most powerful with these sources!
Purity!
This was extremely crucial as the Blood of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler was extremely special, and the Blood of this particular Will was even more so.
BZZT!
In her eyes, a golden light pulsed with strength as destiny flashed, the understanding and usage of such a concept to this Will being far and above many existences as she soon found a potential Vessel that fit her conditions.
Her gaze went to the back of the ranks of the Legions of Ancient Races as there, the singular figure of a Ninth Firmament existence with an extremely pure Ancient Bloodline could be seen struggling to wake in her domain!
Mmm, you should do.
BOOOM!
The will erupted out from Valdez as it nearly shattered the body of this being, the golden EMPYRAL appendage shockingly becoming ripped apart from the body of this massive Legion Commander as it flew backwards!
The surging will of the Dimensional Hellion Ruler reached its target first as it descended into the unsuspecting mind of none other than Genevieve, spending a microsecond within it as it learned many things.
Then, its voice boomed out in her soul.
Child, do you wish to gain the power to eradicate that Chosen Emperor?
...!
A scene much similar to Valdez played out again where a mass of crimson gold light sucked in the Will of the visage of Genevieve- the maddening light of authority descending onto her soul unknowingly as she was roused and came to.
Days ago he was your match, today he can kill you with a flick of his fingers. Will you perish to him or take my strength and overcome him? Will you let me in?
WAA!
Waves of authority and Essence smashed into Genevieve's mind as she was under great influence, yet her visage was still glorious as she retained her mind while ascertaining everything, her heart still greatly under the influence as the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and ask as she thought about the will trying to use her and the insane and unbelievable strength of Alexander King!
"Just...who are you? What is your identity?"
Genevieve wanted power.
To survive this ordeal against an enemy she had pitted herself against, she very badly needed power!
She just wanted to know who...would be using her like this after tackling her greatest weakness.
Oh, sweet Child, I am your hopes and dreams. Let me in, and you shall know everything about me.
HOOOONG!
Destiny weaved madly as a maddening light of power and tyranny echoed out!
The small body of Genevieve began to tremble as from the distance, an EMPYRAL Appendage appeared and smashed onto her body- the enormous light of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler sinking into her as she began to be bathed by a shocking crimson gold light.
Her dark hair fluttered as crimson gold horns began to sprout from her head, her eyes slowly gaining a consciousness that wasn't fully her own as this being had given the permission with her very soul.
She had allowed a terrifying entity to settle in!
And now, this entity awoke with coldness and power as a devilish smile began to bloom on Genevieve's lips.
The condition of acceptance that she had put forth was completed as the will of the entity moved Genevieve's lips like her own.
Child, I am known as the Dimensional Deceiver. The Defiler of Souls, The Blood Empress...and the Daughter of Hatred. I am...Lillith.
...!
BOOOM!
The split body of Valdez Tepez sank from the skies and crashed towards the ground.
Very few signs of life could be seen from it as True Blood freely overflowed, Noah's eyes flashing with power as his will washed over this body and caused it to disappear- sinking into his Expansive Space as the abundant essence of Antediluvian bloomed into it.
He then focused on the rising aura in the distance as he saw the visage of Genevieve rise and begin to change, a smile coming to his lips as he thought about the weaving of destiny!
'In the end, it all somehow came to this.'
From the time they first met until now.
Something unbelievable had sunk into her as if it was a few microseconds prior, Noah could eradicate her with his thoughts freely.
Now…he would get two for the price of one as the identity of the one coming into the battlefield was still unknown!
For this, Noah didn't even have to wait long.
You shouldn't be so carefree.
WAA!
He felt a smile forming on his lips before the words even came as Lavalliere spoke up for the first time in what seemed like a while, but only microseconds had passed just since the battle began as the time scale was hard to wrap one's mind around!
"Take whatever loot you need and speak freely."
Noah's thoughts rang out domineeringly as when it came to Loot- he currently had an overabundance of it!
...
Lavalliere was silent as her will surged, a mountain of False Grotto Nacres disappearing in Noah's Expansive space where the mountainous body of a pulsing Kun Peng could also be seen close by.
After she digested all this Loot that would have been unbelievable before, radiance shone over her branded form within Noah's main body as she spoke soon enough.
You've stumbled onto a Seed that a Dimensional Hellion Ruler planted in order to stretch their influence into the vast Realities. This is unlike any other enemy you have faced as if you consider things in terms of generations- you and all the geniuses you have met so far, even that useless Genevieve- can be considered children.
A Dimensional Hellion Ruler…can be considered an elder as there are in an entirely different Generation. They have comprehended concepts you cannot even yet fathom, they have transfused isolated Laws of Reality to exceed TABOO and enter the stage of DHARMA.
…!
DHARMA!
Above TABOO, one delved into the Tier of DHARMA whenever they managed to infuse the essence of a single Natural Law of Reality into their concepts!
Dimensional Hellion Rulers exceed even that as they have even managed to grasp and comprehend the very Natural Laws of Reality themselves- utilizing their essence freely as if it is a part of them. This is far and above what you can handle as it is not something the Alpha Strata or Ultima Strata can handle, or even those who have stepped into the Grotto Haven stage.
WAA!
Lavalliere ridiculously continued spitting out new information like it was nothing, the number of uses she had gained from swallowing a mountain of False Grotto Nacres being unknown as she also revealed the last strata in the Realm of Reality.
Primogenial, Beta, Alpha, and lastly- Ultima!
The word Ultima stood for furthest or last- something that was situated beyond all others.
Lavalliere expressed that even those at the Alpha, Ultima, and even the Grotto Haven stage that had their own distinction were incomparable to Dimensional Hellion Rulers! How many were there? What were their identities?
The only saving grace is that what is descending here is just that- a small insignificant portion of a Soul that is also under heavy restrictions for stepping outside its domain. But even though it is a minuscule portion of their strength and soul- it has not forgotten its concepts that have reached the tier of DHARMA. It has not forgotten its control of any Natural Laws of Reality that it has comprehended. Even if they can only display a semblance of all of these powers…it may still be too much for the current you.
Waves of destiny spread silently as Lavalliere used the words 'may' when talking about whether Noah could face this being or not. She had learned to not place absolute words when it came to him as even she was proven wrong too many times!
"Mmm, it may be too much for the current me. But…I will not be the current me for too much longer."
WAA!
His will surged tyrannically as he raised the crimson gold Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion in his hand towards the transforming enemy.
"Tell me, who is this Dimensional Hellion Ruler before me?"
Noah was undaunted as he asked, watching as a shocking demonic nature bloomed from a rising figure of Genevieve as massive horns began growing from this being, an intense and vile reeking of blood spreading out as vile Dimensional Essence surged!
The Daughter of Hatred.
Dazzling crimson gold wings erupted from Genevieve as her Ascendancy Halos bloomed- shockingly being expanded in size and melded as if they were malleable, soon becoming turned into rings of light that went forward to wrap around the four horns growing out of her head.
The Dimensional Deceiver who has spread her influence over 3 of the 9 Dimensions. An existence exceeding all common sense as she was even titled the Blood Empress- the Defiler of Souls.
The golden EMPYRAL Appendage had evaporated her right hand as it fully transfixed itself onto Genevieve, the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler continuing to fuse into her as it seemed to be at a crucial juncture where everything would be complete and a shocking existence would descend!
Lillith.
With distaste, Lavalliere said the last words as Noah's eyes released luminous rays of light.
And just when the scene showed the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler about to fully sink into Genevieve…
BOOM!
A piercing ray of shocking light filled with authority tore across the skies. A ray of light so fast that many could barely follow it!
A ray of light that came from none other than…Little Barret!
At this time, the sniper that had been lying in wait made a move. Her figure was roused and came to not too long after Noah and the others as she had always kept her scope on target, her musculature still vibrating at this moment after she fired a shot towards the head of her enemy!
At a crucial time others couldn't even imagine, an existence tried to assassinate the descent of a Will of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler!
It was something unbelievable as others wouldn't even have the courage to do it.
It was great execution and timing…but the power that had come down was simply too dreadful.
BOOOM!
The bullet carrying tendrils of TABOO authority smashed into the region where the head of Genevieve was, but it was like an object was heading into the boundaries of a scorching sun.
Before it could even reach her skin, it was slowly evaporated as the force didn't even touch a glimpse of this newly rising Genevieve.
HOOONG!
The infusion and the descent of the will of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler completed as Genevieve's face underwent another transformation, dazzling pairs of eyes erupting from her as they shone with a bloody gold light!
Exceedingly devilish beauty unfolded itself as this will- this Dimensional Hellion Ruler…merely batted an eye towards the direction where an existence even dared to throw attacks in its direction as Elora felt her soul buzz and nearly shatter.
She grasped onto her Techno Relic tightly as she disappeared into the folds of space soon after. It was a worthy effort, but the enemy was simply too dreadful.
Noah looked at this scene as he nodded, Akaris, Katelyn, and Ezekiel having difficult and somber expressions as the one being with a smile etched on his face was Noah!
This was because he knew it was time.
The existence that had risen this time was an uber big boss that was multiple levels above him, where he would even be fighting with an insignificant portion of her soul at this moment!
He was plenty powerful right now as he could withstand over a Billion Damage Values easily and dish out something similar, but it would entirely not be enough here as the aura they could all feel from the existence before them…
"Alpha Strata."
HOOOONG!
Ezekiel spoke the words with a sigh as he grasped his Sword of Avalon tightly.
The aura they were just beginning to sense was no doubt something they had felt when facing the Alpha Strata LEGENDS that were outside the Domain Rift of this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum!
Noah gazed forward as he wanted to correct Ezekiel's words just a little. He was more perceptive as he could see the strength of this being was rising towards the peak of Beta Strata and nearing Alpha, but she wasn't fully there yet!
But this didn't matter. This was a being who might be able to utilize DHARMA Tier Concepts or even the very Natural Laws of Reality themselves.
It didn't even matter whether her aura reached Alpha Strata or not as this alone was dreadful enough.
It was still a level of strength he couldn't stand against in his current state as the only thing left to do…was for him to exceed himself!
—
In the Dimensional Holy Land.
Noah sat on the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny as he fully utilized its time dilation effects, the movement of time in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest seemingly coming to a halt for him as he could accomplish many things in this period of time.
When a being blinked their eyes as merely a second passed in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest, Noah would have had over 5 hours to do whatever he wanted in the Dimensional Holy Land.
And what he wanted to do now…was proceed forward after he had stayed behind for too long.
He had forged his foundation to the extremes.
Even now, he was still forging his Physique as the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique would soon finish its 20th Cycle!
The Resplendent Infinite Reality Passages continued to grow above him as his power still rose steadily.
And amidst all of this, his Dream Dimensional Reality Seed, Dream Dimensional Body, and Dream Dimensional Soul were fully saturated and ready.
His Origin pulsed with Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos as it gave him a sense of boundless strength, Essence of Reality coursing within him powerfully!
His body contained astounding refinements of Physique as it continued to undergo even more Cycles, where in its current state- it should be able to withstand at least another 10 Cycles of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique.
His soul…pulsed with power as thousands of TABOO Edicts now swam within it, simply waiting for Noah to sort them out and put them where he wished.
By all accounts, he was ready to resonate his Aspects of Existence and enter a new stage!
Geniuses did this easily so long as they had a solid foundation and many Infinite Reality Passages, stepping from Cosmic Filament and into the Reality Realm easily. But…would it be the same for Noah?
He had his own Realm of Progression as he currently had a Dimensional Reality Seed that wished to become a type of a Dimension!
He wasn't forging a Reality, but a type of Dimension termed as a Dimensional Reality.
To achieve this seamlessly, Noah knew he had to be in the proper state of mind.
A state of utter peace and tranquility as if he wasn't facing a ridiculously powerful enemy who had her hands dipped into three Dimensions that even Primordials were still increasing the dominion in!
For this, one of his True Sanguine Clones was already up to the task.
Far away from Noah's main body that was situated on the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny.
In a domain also under the authority of the Dimensional Holy Land.
As shocking wars and chaos bloomed in the outside lands of the vast Realities and Dimensions, a fantastical scene was blooming in this domain where one could see many figures of Noah's friends and family currently clustered in one location!
The skies were a radiant blue with seas of multicolored Essence floating with grandeur, the earth they were on filled with abundant life force as silver gold trees floated behind them while verdant gold grass weaved beneath their feet.
Vibrant crystalline metallic grills could be seen atop the grasslands they were on as Adelaide and Barbatos manned two of them while adorned in aprons pulsing with the light of Primordial Relics.
Kazuhiko and the Emperor Penguin had similar attire while they also manned other grilling stations, the whole land they were on being a vast cliff as further ahead of them, the earth dipped as one could see an endless golden sea below it!
Near the edge of this vibrant cliff, Noah's True Sanguine Clone had the blue slime bouncing above his head as he cast a fishing line into the golden sea where massive deep sea Beasts swam in, Little Henry sitting beside him doing the same while his Mother was behind them with Athena and Elena among others currently peeling the scales of a massive Phoenix Shrimp.
The Oathkeeper was using his large body to split apart a lobster that was gushing golden seas of essence and preparing spices on it as the aroma even before it was cooked was already astounding enough.
Tiamat was in her Dragon form as he used her Dragon's Breath to rekindle the grills further behind them, all of Noah's people being on this vast paradisical domain as they merely spent time together enjoying a barbecue of whatever Noah fished from the endless golden sea below the cliff they were on!
With such a scene surrounding him and feeling the warmth of those he protected and loved, Noah's will found this to be a prime state to be in at this juncture.
As he held on to the Primordial Relic Fishing Rod, he thought about the spark one needed when going past their Cosmic Filament Realm.
The resonance they had to undergo with their Aspects of Existence!
Geniuses could easily bypass the state of epiphany and achieve resonance, and Noah was the same even when he was walking an entirely different path.
With his mind in its best possible state, he looked within himself as he focused on his Aspects of Existence.
The Essence of the Origin of Nature he had attained from Dr. Hall shone vibrantly as he saw the three Aspects that made him.
His Origin, Soul, and Body!
To step into the next stage, one had to resonate these Aspects of Existence and bring them closer together- interlinking them as of they were one!
It all began with their Soul as normally, one would spread its gaseous state over their whole Origin and Body and interlink everything during the resonance.
Limit Breakers had condensed their Souls as they were in a liquid state, and they had to spread their Soul Sea onto their other Aspects of Existence!
Noah's Soul was a vast golden sea and not the cerulean blue of all other beings, this soul beginning to buzz at this moment as it got ready to connect everything together.
"Resonance."
HOOOONG!
In his unique state, Noah merely uttered these words for it to begin.
For the process of bringing many different aspects into one!
As the resonance began, Noah found himself reflecting on himself and his own separate identities.
He was a Son.
He was a Father.
He was a Man.
He was the Ninth Infernal Lord, the Apex Paragon, the Antiquity of Mana, and the Peerless Forger!
He was an Emperor and the owner of the Infinite Dimensional Reality.
He was the Tyrannical Emperor, the ETHEREAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR, and the Unnamed Kainos Emperor!
He had all of these identities but at the end of the day, he was simply...
Noah Osmont.
...!
SHIIING!
An incandescent light of utter glory and majesty shone everywhere where Noah's will reigned, a shocking transformation blooming at this moment!
Seated upon the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny, Noah's main body entirely began to shine with a halcyon sheen.
Boundless gold permeated all around his golden Soul Sea exploded outwards and began suffusing into his body and Origin!
Your Aspects of Existence are undergoing resonance.
OOOOM!
The prompt rose within his mind as he felt like his very being was vibrating.
There was a profound and intricate oscillation occurring with his three Aspects of Existence, with his soul being the trigger as the Origin that was round and stable this whole time began to tremble.
The Dimensional Reality Seed wishes to bloom into a Dimension.
…!
The Origin trembled as after reaching full Saturation, it could now bloom into a type of Dimension as the raging golden waves of the soul sea would pave the way!
His body also reacted euphorically as his very cells 'drank' the Essence of his Soul, everything becoming closely Interlinked as this aspect was also being raised to an entirely different stage.
The Maximum number of Cycles for the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique had not even been reached before Noah started the process of Resonance, and the capacity of cycles he could undergo would be even crazier after he finished his current transformation as the Dream of more than 100 Infinite Reality Passages would be but a given.
And speaking of the Infinite Reality Passages…their allure was currently above Noah's head as they continued gushing out immense reserves of Essence- undergoing their own subtle changes as they also seemed to be influenced by Noah's change!
This wasn't all as Noah had many authorities that he was intricately connected to, and they all began to experience profound changes as when Noah's very Aspects of Existence underwent fundamental changes, these authorities were taken for their own changes as well.
And the range of authorities…was exceedingly wide and grand.
The Trait of Infinite Mana is undergoing an increase in authority.
The Trait of Protagonist is undergoing an increase in authority.
The Trait of Samsara Universal Dao Origin is undergoing an increase in authority.
His very being began to undergo grand changes due to this stupendous elevation as even his Traits surged forward!
His very Blood was boiling as the slow pace of the VITALITY ecritures being branded and formed in his blood began to change and become ever faster.
His surging golden soul sea that bathed everything proliferated and expanded as it drew in boundless essence from the Infinite Reality Passages and the surroundings, mountains of False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls also sinking into Noah ceaselessly as the process was one of utter wonder!
On the Throne of Unnamed Tyranny, Noah's head rose as he found himself uncontrollably bellowing out, his eyes opening up without his control as his irises flashed with the many different Eyes of Authority he held.
The dazzling Primordial Eye of the Pioneer flashed with gold.
The crimson Eye of Ruination appeared with glory.
Multiple eyes flashed majestically as soon after, they all began to be blended into each other!
Your eyes have begun assimilating all their authority.
The Primordial Eye of the Pioneer, the Eye of Ruination, the Eye of Nature, the Eye of Truth, the Eye of Armageddon, the Eye of Destiny, the Eye of Fate, the Eye of Karma, and the Eye of Fortune are undergoing assimilation.
...!
Dazzling rays of light were released from his eyes as it was one of the many things changing, but its progression was much faster than even the evolving traits as a shocking prompt bloomed within Noah's mind soon after.
You have attained the authority of a Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor.
The beams of light being released from his eyes did not dim as they shone with even more shocking brilliance- the beams cleanly becoming distinguished into three as they stemmed from three genuine pupils!
Each one of Noah's eyes...now held three pupils within them that rotated with maddening power and majesty, these three pupils being like luminous suns!
Suns!
His eyes shone with such blazing luminosity that one would be burned with Dimensional Damage Values if they stared long enough, and the three pupils within them continued to release the rays of gold, red, and blue lights of utter majesty.
This...was just the first thing that was completed under the changes currently occurring.
The biggest one...was only just beginning.
The dazzling Dream Dimensional Reality Seed Noah had forged and saturated in a short period of time began to unfurl and bloom into something else entirely.
The Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality is being established.
...!
At the same period of time that the prompt rose in Noah's mind.
In the Dream Dimension.
Serene waves of billowing golden sand covered vast and endless lands, with unknown domains, Kingdoms, and Empires lying within the deeper one went!
The lands truly did seem endless without any boundaries, and this was a trait that could be attributed to a single thing- an event that occurred many millions of years ago.
An existence had gone ahead and taken an action that should have fundamentally changed a single vast and endless domain, but its effects didn't stop there as they spread to touch even the mysterious 9 Dimensions.
The Dream Dimension was a particularly hard domain to navigate as the monstrous existences within relied on abstruse methods of the Soul, with the Primordials having a harder time delving into a few Dimensions- and one of these harder Dimensions was the Dream Dimension!
Within this vast landscape, the powerhouses at the Grotto Haven Realm and above led the incursion of the Primordials forward while at the depths, Empires with Dimensional Royalties and factions of unimaginable power reigned!
Yet at this moment, every single one of them experienced the same thing.
A phenomenon that had never appeared in the history of the Dream Dimension.
The billowing areas of golden dreamy essence surged to the skies- no matter if it was in the wilderness where Dream and Nightmare LEGENDS roamed or in fantastical domains filled with existences that easily controlled the Decretum of Dreams!
Dream Essence surged to the skies as it swirled like a storm, buzzing with profound wonder and power as just when many eyes gathered on it, it exploded into a circular golden wave of light that spread outwards endlessly.
DONG!
The wave of light released a tolling sound as it carried immense authority, causing a phenomenon that was hard to miss for anyone in the Dream Dimension as the question of whether they understood what it meant...well that was another thing entirely.
When Noah began forging his First Dimension, a wondrous phenomenon played out as it was hard to say how many beings grasped exactly what it meant!
One could say its effects were null or another could say that they were far reaching and they could both be right- but the crucial thing was that it had occurred.
On Noah's chest, the visage of Lavalliere that had branded itself to Noah was also shining with utter glory at this moment.
Around her very being, there were tendrils of chains from many sources as the major ones were from Destiny, Fate, Karma, and Fortune. There were also profound chains buzzing with the Dream Essence that began to shine at this moment, their brighter sheen shockingly causing some of them to begin shattering into sandy light that surged back into Lavalliere herself!
...!
Her will surged with shock at this scene as even without consuming mountains of unique items or relics, she felt her authority returning- even if it was ever so slowly!
Yet Noah continued forging forward even amidst all this.
HOONG!
An explosive force emanated from his blooming Seed as one could see this circular structure shockingly unfolding, the concentration of Dream Essence reaching tremendous levels as the circular Origins became planar.
Essence was drawn from the surroundings and the Infinite Reality Passages as the Seed bloomed into a Dimension- this process happening slowly as the end result of it all would be an endless golden flat plain!
A plain that Noah would have to continue expanding until it reached a shocking level of saturation- and only then could he even think of beginning to form a second Seed to bloom a second Dimension.
The process was somewhat slow in Noah's eyes as it wasn't completed in just seconds, his Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality taking its time to draw in essence and unfurl from the Seed as it established itself.
And of course, if one was establishing a Dimension…
The essence of the Decretum of the Dream Dimension begins to bloom within your Origin.
…!
Yes!
An Origin has to have governing laws and structures to come to fruition, and one could not be built if it did not have a Decretum holding it stable!
So among the many boons Noah would have, one of them was the ridiculous fact that he would begin to understand the Decretum of any Dimension he established whether he had the talent for it or not.
When the First Dimension is successfully established, understanding in the Decretum of the Dream Dimension shall bloom.
Vast and magisterial authority that exceeded Daos or Edicts and seemed to be on the same level as Natural Laws of Reality bloomed within Noah.
His Origin, Soul, and Body continued their resonance as every part of them was expanding, Noah's very molecular structure becoming altered in shocking ways as since it was taking time, Noah's will gazed at the changes that had already completed first.
And the one to complete the fastest…were his eyes!
His glorious eyes that shone with the light of boundless suns, the colors Blue, Gold, and Crimson shooting out as incandescent beams of light.
It was the authority of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor.
Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor:: An authority that distinguishes the one to have attained eyes that exceed most if not all beings of this Era. The gaze of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor is far reaching as at the very least, it can allow you to obtain the identity of an existence, their level of power, their True Vitality and Resource Values, all the way to their innermost secrets and concepts they cultivate depending on their level of power. The eyes of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor can also easily see the abstruse and hard to grasp concept around it, making it a matter of them for them to comprehend the workings of Natural Laws of Reality to even the Decretums of Dimensions. They can cause the descent of Essence Destabilization in the surroundings as all sources of essence become Chaotic and uncontrollable, bringing to fruition Essence Storms that can decimate weak beings depending on their level of strength. Essence Storms vary from the weakest Elemental Storms to the strongest Natural Law Storms and Decretum Storms…
...The Will of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor can be channeled from his eyes and release destructive attacks, with any abilities cast through the eyes granted 5,000 base True Dimensional Dream Damage Values, granted the effect of AOE Dream Dimensional Splash Damage, and being able to target wherever the eyes of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor are gazing at. The Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor can also gaze upon those around him and break down their concepts, being able to copy their concepts and understandings up to the level of TABOO. Once a week, you can Deconstruct a concept up to the tier of DHARMA, or deconstruct the understandings of Natural Laws or Decretum of a Dimension when certain unique conditions based on the target selected are met. The Fate, Destiny, Karma, and Fortune of others can be seen with but a gaze- their level being quantified on a scale of 1-100 from lowest to highest. Those with low levels of Fate, Destiny, Karma, and Fortune will more easily be dominated by your will. Lastly, a sense of shocking wonder and beauty emanates from your eyes as gazing into them for too long can increase the favorability others feel towards you, while increasing the animosity of your chosen enemies. The authority of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor is still calculating its limits as new functions will be unlocked over time…
"..."
There were no words that could be said about Noah's eyes!
They were simply too ridiculous as they came with too many things, one of the more unique ones being the level of information Noah could attain from his surroundings.
The identity of all things, and the quantification of the Values of those he gazed at.
It even went as far as being capable to quantify one's True Vitality Values and Resource Values, where Noah could see the 'Health' and Mana of his enemies, and even what their Maximum Reserves of Dream Essence, Essence of Reality, or any other types of Essence!
They were dazzling eyes of pure wonder.
And yet this was merely their first function.
One of the more astounding functions they held...was allowing Noah to more easily grasp the Natural Laws of Reality and the Decretum of a Dimension, and going even further as to allow him to deconstruct such concepts from an enemy- even if it was once a week and with certain conditions being met!
Unique conditions that would change with every target he selected.
What would be the conditions to deconstruct anything from the Dimensional Deceiver, Lillith?!
