The domain and this authority expanded rapidly to reach light years as it soon exceeded the size of a Universe, stabilizing with this relative size as its image became more defined.
A massive golden tower-like monolith established itself as at its crystalline base, the land around it was constantly becoming absorbed into it as it would slowly expand every now and then!
The lands of the Dream Dimension were being devoured and assimilated into the Infinite Reality still located within the Boundary Between Realities as it also moved to swallow Realities- with its inner regions undergoing great changes constantly as they reformed what was devoured from the Dream Dimension into its own lands.
If anyone wanted to stop this process for the Dream Dimension…they would have to get past the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
A Dungeon that at this moment…
"I shall be designated as the Quintessential Dungeon Boss, with any challengers needing to get past me before they can even get a glimpse of the Pocket Dimensional Reality."
WAA!
Noah spoke with a devilish smile as destiny surged, his Tri-Pupiled eyes shining as within his own definitions and titles, he saw the title of Quintessential Dungeon Boss being tacked on to his many other titles!
Now, he just had to have a Clone manage this domain and be prepared for loot to come to him.
He needed powerful existences to designate as Minions.
Subjugation Dream LEGENDS and Nightmares would be one method, and then there were also Primordials.
Andur was one of the first, but Noah would flex his authority and attain many more beings that he could then modify with his own means!
Then there were Noah's own people.
They had Shards of a Seed of Reality, genuine Seeds of Realities, and even False Grotto Nacres to elevate their Realms from the Firmaments of Ascendancy all the way into the Stratas of LEGENDS.
They had millions of TABOO Edicts to choose from as with Noah's Skill Trees and techniques he handed down, they would make powerful defenders of his Domain while also growing in power and forging their wills.
He could also simply grant the power of an Infinite Dream Automaton that were much easier to raise due to their nature- with Noah currently having 18 Dream Automatons that the Infinite Reality had been focused on in feeding them Sacred Herbs and loot that were close to breaking all three Limits in their Aspects of Existence!
Within a day, they would be complete.
And as the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality devoured the Dream Dimension and vastly increased its reserves of Dream Essence…Noah would be able to produce even more Dream Automatons and raise them even faster as an army of such existences would be but a reality.
As for which Dimension would be his next target? This was all left up to fate and Destiny as Noah would decide when the time came!
"Now…"
With the establishment of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon and the assimilation of the Dream Dimension proceeding smoothly, Noah left the work of defining the floors of this domain to it as to strengthen this Clone even further…the prime candidacy of the distinction of Dream Dimensional Chassis moved from Alexander to this Clone.
HOONG!
Essence blared madly on the lowest floor of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon as Noah's will coagulated on this Clone, feeling the shifting sands of the Dream Dimension below him as it was constantly absorbed into the Infinite Reality.
The Infinite Reality that like him…it would be divided into 9 Dimensional Layers as the Dream Dimension would merely be the first!
As Noah sensed all this, his body knelt down as Resonance of Nature rang out with glory, his voice coming out with distinction.
"Quintessential Dream Dimensional Chassis."
…!
Chassis.
A term meaning body or structure!
Noah called for this Clone to attain it in the middle of a terrifying domain made of Absolute Dream Authority…within the Dream Dimension.
Pure Dream Essence surged down from the surroundings as the Decretum of Dreams descended with astounding authority.
It swooped down and wrapped around Noah's body, cradling him and sinking into the very Bones, Organs, and Musculature of this Clone as everything about it turned pristinely gold!
This feedback also went back to Noah's main body that was undergoing constant refinement through Quintessential Empyral Kaiser that was currently passively Refining his Bones at a 10,000% increased rate, this washing down of the regal essence of a Decretum causing resonance across many areas as the Clone at the lowest floor of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon…became illuminated with golden light as soon after, it exploded into a dazzling mass of golden dreamy sand.
A golden mass of sand that an instant later reformed into a devilishly handsome young man that could steal the eyes and heart of any unsuspecting woman, dense ecritures of DREAM surging around him as a golden robe came to drape over him and cover his sculpted body that wondrously held not 6 pack abs...but 12 pack abs at this juncture!
You have designated the Quintessential Dream Dimensional Chassis.
The elevation of the Dream Dimensional Reality has been increased by 10,000%
The rate of Progression in the Decretum of Dreams has been increased by 10,000%
The rate of Progression in the Natural Laws of Reality has been increased by 10,000%
All abilities that utilize Dream Dimensional Essence have 100% Increased Penetration as they can bypass the masking of Decretums and Natural Laws effectively.
Glory descended unto Noah in a wondrous fashion as even without being a domain similar to the Empyral Domain of Nature, the Decretum of Dreams surged within his soul with understanding as its mysteries were slowly becoming quantified.
His pristine Quintessential Dream Dimensional Body touched down on the swirling golden sand beneath him as he breathed out, taking in the stage that he had currently reached.
His main body resumed the full absorption of the False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls after the inclusion of the 10,000% increased rate of Progression!
His clone of Alexander in the Main Reality exploded with understanding as the Essence of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics surged into him!
His path…was clear and proceeding smoothly as Lavalliere's voice descended at this time.
Your path has been distinguished and exemplary. You…do not need to keep rushing forward hastily. Your will is spread around across many areas as you still haven't set a central one to smoothly follow. I know you work on a short time period, but realize that others plan and move on a time scale of millions of years. The eventual Apocalypse…will not be here for a probable millions of years. There…is no harm in playing things safe when you have such unbelievable prospects and possibilities before you.
…!
The supremely powerful treasure came down with advice as while listening to it, Noah continued gazing at the weaving of destiny as a devilish smile formed on his mesmerizing face!
Noah's pace of progression and the many things he was doing all at once.
Lavalliere brought this up as she knew that Noah was delving into areas where ridiculously powerful beings that had lived for multiple Ages would begin to turn towards him, and she wanted him to have more of a scaffold when she faced them as she didn't want battles or conflict where the outcome would be unknown!
Noah also knew this was the pathway she preferred as it was safer.
His Clones would never feel like they might possibly perish.
His main body would never be in danger.
Whatever enemies he faced would be at his range of power as he would never meet an enemy he could not overcome and then have to find a way to do so mid battle- whether that was through forming a new authority or breaking past his current limitations!
To overcome a mere will of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler, Noah had broken his limits to establish his first Dimensional Layer.
If he moved like he was and faced enemies at the Ultima and Grotto Haven Realm, what would he have to do mid-battle to overcome them as if destiny did not favor him just one time…a Clone could be lost and a portion of his authority would be taken!
And since he was the Quintessential Kainos Emperor…the existence whose very name resounded with this Age, he could not be defeated by other Emperors as that would go against his very being!
"..."
So Lavalliere said hit the breaks.
I know a great deal about Destiny, Fortune, Karma, and Fate. I have reached greater attainments in all four than you have. I understand that the greater the dangers you face, the more grand the opportunities. I understand all this…and I still implore you to keep yourself somewhat reserved. Somewhat more hidden. What is a time scale of a few months or even a year to you? I am sure that merely lying low for a year would guarantee a level of tremendous safety and even allow you to achieve another Dimensional Layer or two to place you more than like at the Grotto Haven Realm. After that, things become even easier.
WAA!
The Natural Laws and Decretum of Dimensions you are only beginning on now, others have delved into them for many years. They can bend Reality to their will in shocking ways as if you wait just a year or more, you might reach halfway towards them if not more. That is how exceptional and how great the foundation you have set for yourself is. A year…it is nothing to think of on the grand scale of things. Negligible to imagine for some ancient beings as they could sleep for thousands of years. Can you not let 1 year roll by while the Dimensional Races, Ancient Races, Primordial Beasts, and Primordials set the stage?
"..."
Lavalliere was speaking from her heart at this juncture in time as she knew.
Even beings like her who had made tremendous progress in Natural Laws and Decretum of Dimensions could fall!
Even beings considering themselves exemplary in the understanding of the weaving of Destiny, Fortune, Karma, and Fate…they still fell.
She was a prime example as for her to be capable of utilizing Absolute Dream Authority, her attainments in the Decretum of Dreams were high.
Her power was even greater as even with all this…she was still in her current position now.
The reason was because she had utter confidence in her understanding of things like Destiny as she believed she would never whatever came her way and she could react sufficiently in time!
She was now seeing this same mentality…with the existence she was bound to.
I see my old self in you, Noah Osmont.
WAA!
It is not arrogance or ignorance, but a level of profound confidence after constant and continued victories after utilizing Fate and Destiny. A confidence that so long as you continue like this, everything would be in the pa of your hands. But believe me…an insurmountable wall will come.
…!
One way or another, the profound confidence and overreliance on Destiny, Fate, Fortune, and Karma will come to fail you as ultimately- it is your strength that reigns supreme.
If you faced a Dimensional Hellion Ruler right now, even with the conditions of the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon let's say…I do not think you will make it out safely. Not just your Clone as with the Pocket Dimensional Reality being at play, even your Main Body could be discovered. Your strength…that would be what keeps you safe as at a certain point, Destiny, Fate, Fortune, and Karma will come to fail you.
"..."
The waves of essence flowed serenely.
A smile was still etched on Noah's face as he listened and pondered.
His path.
The paths of others.
All of them were unique and yet interconnected as they all sought the Throne of the True Emperor.
Some sought to save themselves and their homes from Apocalypse as they knew more!
And every single one of them…relied on Destiny among many other things.
And yet…countless millions still perish across the vast Realities and Dimensions daily.
From Rank F all the way to those at the Grotto Haven stage, many perished every day as death did not differentiate between them!
How was Noah different from all of them?
HUUUM!
Destiny weaved meticulously as a symphony began to ring.
A sonorous piece from a paint began to play as heroic drums began to resound!
The Protagonist…was at the cusp of choosing his path as his decision would be accompanied by many effects.
Slow down.
Or proceed even faster.
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor closed his eyes as he gazed at everything.
His will surged over the Infinite Reality that has layers of the earth beginning to form below the dazzling Cosmos.
Over his body in the form of a Preponderant Irminsul.
Over the countless bursts of life force spreading throughout mixed with the constant weaving of destiny!
His will went even further as before the massive verdant stellar Preponderant Irminsul, a massive golden book began to form as the Quintessential Kainos Emperor began to look upon the countless paths before him.
To decide the path that he would take, the Quintessential Kainos Emperor gazed at the massive golden book surging with profound Destiny forming before him.
Radiant white words began to appear on its golden pages as they laid out his paths.
In the Dream Dimension, his Quintessential Dimensional Body had taken the identity of a Dungeon Boss as he protected the Pocket Dimensional Reality from whoever would threaten it while he devoured the Domains of a Dension.
This process…would take quite some time as a Dimension alone was too vast, where when the truly powerful beings began to take notice- he might have already achieved a Realm of Power to withstand them!
Then he had his clone in the Avalon Dimension.
Depending on the movements of this Clone and the power Lancelot could wield as a Prince of the 12 Domains of Avalon, this path could also be filled with immense danger as Noah had to get his hands on the True Sword of Avalon that was surrounded by the wills of the Rulers of this Dimension.
Then there was his Clone of Alexander in the Main Reality that was grasping the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics as he would head into the Niflheim Dimension to fortify Primordial Strongholds thereafter, forming merits that would eventually put him in the high Ranks of Primordials as a Representative Throne would not be far.
Then, there was the path he had already promised to take with the Dimensional Royalty Katelyn into the Mirror Dimension as he had to provide another Clone for this- the journey of this relatively unknown on how it would begin and proceed as there were too many unknowns!
Too little information.
This was also something Noah had to get through.
The golden book shone as next, it scribed down the words of the Map of the Apollyon Dimension and the Preponderant Irminsul Dimensional Bloodline.
There were paths with these as well as they weren't too clear at this moment, once more requiring more information!
When Noah thought of this, the white words on the golden book began to fade as new ones etched down with intensity.
In the Expansive Space where a wounded Kun Peng was held with life just beginning to surge from him, his mouth finally opened to answer the questions of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor.
"I know not how my father was fooled, but I know how I was deceived."
The tone of Valdez Tepez was sorrowful as this genius reflected back to how he had been utilized by a Dimensional Hellion Ruler, his animosity towards the existence that had saved him who also turned out to be the true Bearer of Commander Feng's Will entirely gone as he sounded tired when he spoke.
"My love for my father, and his words as he told me things he could not have known had he truly not had anything of Commander Feng."
"Oh? What was the crucial juncture that bound you all to the Will of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler?" The will of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor that was pressing down from all around reverberated as Tepez continued on.
"A fragmented memory that my father held…"
As he spoke, his draconic head split open as a crystalline white fragment shone with astonishing light, radiating all around as it magnified a wondrous scene in the Expansive Space.
"A memory that showed the last vestiges of the Great Commander."
…!
Destiny whipped around madly as a shocking scene began to play.
A raging sea of golden crimson blood that held sparkling ecritures reading VITALITY enveloped the visage of a being whose body did not hold a trace of life even though his very Blood was filled with life force!
The whole body shone with a golden glow beneath the gaps of the torn skin as EMPYRAL musculature and bones could be seen, the surging rivers of crimson gold blood continuing to leak from it profusely as it lay silently.
At that moment, an overpowering force cascaded from above as it did not even want to leave his corpse intact, but interference came at this moment as spatial cracks formed, billowing hellish crimson black essence surging out like tendrils of light as they reached out to grab the body of this existence.
OOOOH!
A terrific will felt this as it surged down, but there seemed to be an opposing will of equal ferocity behind the formed spatial crack that surged to clash with it, the pristine body of a great existence being pulled into it as the memory faded right then and there!
"...!"
Essence surged madly.
"My father was shown the last scenes of the Great Commander as he showed me a glimpse of it when he handed down the Empyral Appendage. That is why I believed so much that I was carrying his will."
"Because his visage slipped past the Empyral Deceiver as an unknown influence took the Great Commander…into a Dimension."
RUUMBLE!
Essence exploded out madly as Noah's will became bathed in a pristine light!
Aged Remembrance shone lustrously in his skill columns as it was activated at this moment.
The same scene from before began to play in Noah's mind as when it reached the point where the body of Commander Feng disappeared into the cracks of a Dimension, the scene continued as Noah watched the crimson black tendrils of fiery essence wrap around the body of the Great Commander and stably bring it through!
Into a domain of fiery heat and brutality as he appeared in the skies that held a crimson throne.
Skies that had pillars of crimson lava like essence shooting upwards across it all around as it was reminiscent of the most hellish atmosphere!
On the crimson throne in the skies, a figure was situated really as their hands beckoned towards the listless body of the Great Commander, Noah's eyes focusing on this existence when shockingly…
HOOONG!
A horrific scene occurred as the clouded face and gaze of this existence atop a crimson throne turned to stare directly towards where Noah's will was gazing from.
…!
A surge of billowing hatred and fiery exploded out from it an instant later as the memory Noah was in exploded into countless fragments, his soul feeling a jolt as it shockingly took Dimensional Soul Damage!
From a memory!
From a scene that showed the body of the Great Commander being pulled into none other than…the Apollyon Dimension!...
The white words etched themselves on the vibrant golden book as at this moment, a path was gradually making itself clear!
The Apollyon Dimension!
This was where the last vestiges of the Great Commander were actually pulled into as a shocking influence had taken the body of Commander Feng right before the eyes of OPPENHEIMER!
Noah had triggered Aged Remembrance due to the memory that Valdez Tepez shared as while his mind surged with possibilities, he spoke out.
"You can wallow in despair…or you can find out what it means to truly carry the Will of the Great Commander. Since I shoulder the burden, all you will have to do is…"
SHIING!
A light of tyranny rose.
The glory of fealty pervaded the surroundings as Noah's powerful will descended unto the shaken soul of an exceptional genius of this Era!
While this took place, Noah's main body ascertained the words on the page as he thought about his movements from here.
Lavalliere was telling him to just take a step back and stop constantly putting his foot on the gas pedal, with the reasoning behind it being that of care as she laid out the very simple truth that at the end of it all, even destiny can fail the being most proficient in it!
"But Lavalliere…has destiny really been all that I relied on?"
WAA!
He addressed the astounding treasure that had reached an extremely high stage before it was shackled as Lavalliere remained quiet.
"When the times came where destiny told me that a Clone might perish or they had a high chance of perishing…what did I rely on to get past it? Since even Destiny, Fate, Fortune, or Karma could not aid me during those uncertain times…what did I rely on?!"
His words bellowed out powerfully as tendrils of the four aforementioned concepts surged around him.
During the ambush of Primordial Beasts. During the chase of the Ancestral Beowulf and the Emperor of the Golden Eye! During the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest!
In each of these instances, destiny had told him that his clone was in peril as the only biggest decider of how he got past them…was his own actions and what steps he took after even destiny said it was a fifty-fifty chance.
In the most recent instance where his Clone felt the threat of death, he chose to proceed forward even when the path was not fully clear as his decisions to go against Lavalliere's words and establish a new system of Power was what saved him, where the establishment of his First Dimension sealed the deal!
It was himself.
At the end of it all- past the treasures and Relics, past Destiny, Fortune, Fate, and Karma- it was his choices that brought him where he was today.
He didn't doubt that other existences had profound treasures just like his or even more wondrous.
Other beings could also hold the Heart of Fate, the Heart of Fortune, the Heart of Karma…or even the unverified Heart of Reality!
The Infinite Reality…well, others couldn't possibly have this but the Primordials reigned over the Main Reality where wondrous things like the Empyral Domains of Nature existed.
All of them held profound destinies as there were many chosen Emperors!
Even in the past Ages…there were supremely powerful beings and Chosen Emperors as by the end of it all, an existence who wasn't even a Chosen Emperor came to rule.
This wasn't due to Destiny or any other factor as ultimately…it was all up to the choices that OPPENHEIMER and all others made in the past Age.
It was all an accumulation of one's choices.
Whether to hole up for millions of years and build your foundation.
Whether to seek Fortune and treasures in dangerous locations.
It all came down to the choices that one made as factors like Destiny…they could only steer what choice one made!
And Destiny had steered Noah many times, but he ultimately made his own choices as he had ignored the sense of danger for greater profits many times in the past.
"It is my choices, Lavalliere…that will set me apart from the countless others seeking the same thing."
HOOONG!
The words of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor resounded out as they seemed to conform to some unknown truth!
Multicolored Essence surged as Noah's Soul became bathed in authority, information surging into his mind as a prompt rose.
Your soul resonates with an unknown Fundamental Natural Law of Reality.
…!
When he thought about his nature and the reality of choices, he faced a resonance of Nature as it made his heart even more tranquil!
"The Clones in the Avalon and Dream Dimension can continue their paths, the Clone of Alexander can continue his path…and there shall be other paths I shall follow as the central one will be seeking for the truth of this place you call the Barren Lands…and whether the Infinite Reality truly would be sufficient to save it all from Apocalypse."
…!
The mind of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor was made.
Of course, Lavalliere's words still contained truth within them as even with the confidence in himself and the choices that he made, he would still not lose out from making careful choices and calculated moves.
It was why he prepared for the devouring of the Dream Dimension with an authority that manifested to become the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
It was why he saved Valdez Tepez as now, he had gained truth that would direct his will towards a wondrous pathway!
In the end, it seemed like it was the domain of Lilith that Noah would be delving into and place a central focus on.
The Apollyon Dimension!
This could be considered a main pathway on the same level as the Dream Dimension that he had just begun to devour if not greater…and this was because he placed great importance on Commander Feng.
The one being to realize and understand OPPENHEIMER before anyone else.
If Noah was to be successful in reversing what this being did, he had to first understand him.
The Clone of Alexander King would gather information from the side of Primordials.
His clone in the Avalon Dimension would try to grasp the perspectives of powerful beings from these Anchors as when he sent another Clone into the Mirror Dimension with Katelyn, this would serve the same purpose!
His clone that he would send into the Apollyon Dimension…would be meant to explore its mysteries and also use this vast and brutally hellish domain…as the prime location to attain Loot and establish his Layers of Dimensions even faster.
The Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon would bring loot to him, and he would also actively chase loot in the Apollyon Dimension while looking for the traces of Commander Feng!
This path would be one of utmost danger as the Apollyon Dimension was different from all the rest, with one being capable of running into even Grotto Haven existences in its outer periphery!
But Noah…he held immense advantages when it came to delving into the Apollyon Dimension as he had the HERESY Relic Obsidian Queen and the Map of the Apollyon Dimension.
One allowed him to smoothly teleport across the boundaries of Dimensions as the other could allow him to choose specific coordinates from the Apollyon Dimension as it contained the experiences of the Dimensional Hellion Ruler, Lilith!
With these in his hands and more, Noah was sure of his plans.
His will calmed down while he thought of Lavalliere's words and his own thoughts, his voice coming out slowly.
"I won't simply forge ahead while relying on Destiny, Lavalliere. I'll rely on my own plans and contingencies. If I am to stay true to my name, I'll do it in a way no other beings can in this Age."
WAA!
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor.
He would represent what a True Emperor was in this Age!
"Besides, my enemies have been living and moving for millions or billions of years. If I start moving like them, I would lose my pace of progression that is catching up to their millions of years of foundation in mere weeks!"
…!
Noah finished his words as Lavalliere remained silent.
Just like before, she could see that he wouldn't change his mind!
So she simply sighed and continued to gaze at the weaving of destiny silently while Noah prepared.
Everything was going smoothly his Will turned over to a corner of the Expansive Space where vibrant Golden Black Randomized Loot Crates had yet to be opened, his shining Will thinking about a certain Loot that stemmed from these Crates as he sent his command for them to open!
183 Supreme Dimensional Bloodline Shards have been attained. Attaining 10 Shards will allow for the birth of a Supreme Dimensional Bloodline.
A Fragmented Map of the Necro King's Domain has been attained.
130 Seeds of Nature that contain purified wisps of the Essence of Natural Laws of Reality have been attained.
The memoir 'Journey to the North' has been attained….
Prompts came down as Noah let them through while he focused on two in particular.
The Seeds of Nature that could be infused into concepts, and the Supreme Dimensional Bloodline Shards!
"Let's mix you all up and see what more you can provide my Bloodline…"
HUUM!
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor Bloodline was elevating past VENERABLE as Noah would do anything and everything to aid it getting there- where at this moment, he was looking at all the areas he could optimize to be able to display his greatest self.
The Synthesis of 190 Supreme Dimensional Bloodline Shards has begun.
SHIING!
A lustrous bloody light shone.
The Supreme Tier Dimensional Bloodline Emperor Mushroom Crystal has been attained. Absorbing it will grant this Dimensional Bloodline.
The Supreme Tier Dimensional Bloodline Blood Lich Crystal has been attained. Absorbing it will grant this Dimensional Bloodline.
The Supreme Tier Dimensional Bloodline Adenoid Skeleton Crystal has been attained..
Prompts came down for 19 new Dimensional Bloodlines that Noah could utilize in a variety of different methods.
He didn't have to absorb them himself as he could give them to his people to grant them Dimensional Bloodlines, and then he could easily replicate them with Hematopoietic Progenitor.
This was all in preparation and for the sake of even greater power!
As he watched over this process and got ready for the entrance into the Apollyon Dimension, a designated Clone had already appeared close to his main body as he became adorned in the DHARMA Relic Noah had attained from the Quintessential Treasure Cache- Gravitation Reality Armament!
This was a unique Relic that acted like an armor, with its display being utterly magisterial as it wrapped around Noah's body like a regal knight's armor carved from rivers of Reality.
Tendrils of the Natural Law of Gravitation surrounded it as it gave off an oppressive atmosphere!
DHARMA Gravitation Reality Armament:: A defensive Relic forged from a cluster of the Essence of Gravitation and budding Realities. The resonance of a Natural Law within it adapts to your Aspects of Existence as it replicates your Innate Dimensional Barrier's protective Values to grant you an even more robust defense. The push and pull of the Natural Law of Gravitation and the budding Realities that this Armament was made from causes sparks of singularities that have their essence transformed into pure Essence of Reality, granting the wearer the generation of 1 Million Units of the Essence of Reality every second. The attacks thrown towards you from your enemies are prevented from ever coming near you unless they are infused with the Essence of Natural Laws or a Decretum of a Dimension. It is a powerful DHARMA Relic that cannot be easily forged or replicated….
It was a stupendous defensive Relic that effectively granted Noah a third layer of protection past his Innate Dimensional Barrier and the Lich's Armament of Devotion that was now always active.
Apart from this, this Clone also grasped the Atlatl of Reality and the Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion as there was a third offensive weapon in Noah's hands that he had also obtained from the Quintessential Treasure Cache- the HERESY Relic Silent Killer!
But this was meant for another Clone to utilize as it was left behind with its own wonders.
This Clone was ready as Noah's will surged down to call out the Obsidian Queen.
The massive circular Obsidian Vessel that seemed small in size and yet had the space equivalent to hundreds of Realities. He didn't need this to teleport into the Apollyon Dimension since he had the Map that could teleport him to any location he chose, but when it came to the speed of the spatial movement- the Obsidian Queen was something Noah would utilize if he ever needed to escape!
With this and many more things prepared, the Atlatl of Reality, Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion, and the Obsidian Queen turned into streaks of light that were absorbed into Noah's body as he came to grasp a fantastical map.
A Map that laid out the major regions of the Apollyon Dimension…and all the Regions that Noah could choose to teleport into.
Where would he make his entrance in the Dimension that was deemed to have the strongest creatures because of its hellish environment?!
The Map of the Apollyon Dimension was unique as it broke down the major regions and then broke them down even further into smaller clusters from there.
The massive Apollyon Dimension as a whole fell under the influence of two Dimensional Hellion Rulers- The Daughter of Hatred, Lilith, and her close kin…The Hellish Pontiff, Lucius!
These two Dimensional Hellion Rulers reigned over half of the Apollyon Dimension each as Noah didn't have too much information about their power, only that they opposed each other while still maintaining the stability of the Apollyon Dimension.
Gazing at the map, Noah looked away from the lands under the Daughter of Hatred as he turned towards those under the reign of the Hellish Pontiff, Lucius.
Both of them were Dimensional Hellion Rulers as to distinguish them from Dimensional Rulers- the former were powerful existences that moved to expand their Hegemony across different Dimensions while the latter remained and ruled in their own Dimensions!
So both Dimensional Hellion Rulers Lillith and Lucius were existences that reigned over half of the Apollyon Dimension and also domains of other Dimensions.
Noah wanted to delve a whole lot more into Lilith, but this shocking existence had already tangled with him and tried to bind him through many methods- and he would not treat her lightly as he wouldn't step into her domain without gathering some information first.
So the location was decided upon after Noah gazed at the Domains under the Hellish Pontiff Lucius and read the brief details they held…
"Daemon Orc Ravine…"
SHIING!
The location was decided as a crimson black light wrapped around Noah and the Map of the Apollyon Dimension, a Dimensional light flashing as he disappeared!
—
The life of a Daemon was a wretched one.
The life of a Succubus Daemon was even more wretched as even their Dimensional Royalty did not escape its shackles.
Among the Daemon Bloodlines of the Apollyon Dimension, they were VENERABLE and revered…but their power was weaker as they specialized in more mystic areas.
Hecate knew this very well as she was currently surrounded by the entourage of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander Stephon- being led from her own home as her Father could do nothing but acquiesce to the requests of this Commander who was close to grasping the Grotto Haven stage!
Simply, she was sold off so that her family could retain her dominion.
She was surrounded by a Daemon Battalion with 10 Alpha Strata Orc Daemons at the lead, hundreds of Beta Strata Orc Daemons filling up the ranks as their huge muscular bodies and grotesque faces with tusks coming out of their faces would cause anyone to recoil.
When Hecate imagined being put under the body of a being like this- even if it was a Peak Ultima Strata Orc Daemon Commander, her very soul denied it!
'In their dreams…'
She sneered as she felt the imperceptible eaves of the essence of Apollyon.
An essence of shocking destruction and brutality that even her father at the weak Ultima stage could not fathom.
But with his luck as an Incubus to catch the eye of a Hellion Daemon Royal under the Hellish Pontiff Lucius, Hecate came to be as her body carried a potent Royal Lineage that the Orc Daemon Commander Stephon now sought after!
But even though her father failed her, Hecate did not fear as from the musings of the Essence of Apollyon, she could feel immense destruction coming.
All she had to do was focus the little control she held of this essence to steer this destruction towards them…and she would figure things out from there.
She thrived from chaos and destruction as this was where she could ensnare and display her abilities the most!
She was on top of a flat vessel that seemed like a jagged piece of rectangular crimson rock that floated across the red magma filled earth below them, their surroundings being filled with flaming pillars of lava and flames that rose to the dark skies.
The heat alone was suffocating as even the death of Cosmos couldn't produce such a high concentration, with those surviving in these conditions being the top of the top- those at the peak of power in their respective stages!
The word 'Average' could not be applied to any Daemon in the Apollyon Dimension as they always exceeded the average whenever they were compared against other Dimensional Races.
Hecate herself was at the center of this rock like rectangular vessel under the control of one of the Alpha Strata Orc Daemons, her surroundings untouched as no matter the lustful gazes of the grotesque Orc Daemons around her, they were under strict orders to bring her to their Commander as they would never dare to even lay a hand on her!
That was how much the one known as Stephon was feared!
An existence with decent attainments in the Decretum of Apollyon as he even grasped two Natural Laws under his banner.
With his power, he managed to win and retain Hegemony of a small region under the vast expanse of domains under the rule of the Hellish Pontiff Lucius, and he had now begun to expand his power onto the surrounding lands as he neared the cusp of Grotto Haven.
Not being surrounded closely by any of the Orc Daemons, Hecate's astonishing beauty could be appreciated as she had dazzling crimson black hair flowing past her shoulders, her blessed body of a Succubus proportioned in an unbelievable manner as just mere moments from her could put weaker beings under her control!
Even now, she had released imperceptible strings of her pheromones into the bodies of multiple Beta Strata Orc Daemons that were at the same stage as her- beings that she could now control like mindless fools as her main goal was to get one or two of the Alpha Strata Orc Daemons under her control before whatever unknown destruction that the Essence of Apollyon foretold came.
A tight crimson gold dress hugged her visage as she had hidden her body with a black robe that could barely hide her blessings, the crimson wings of a Succubus erupting behind her back as on her head, two horns that formed golden crowns at their tips shone with utmost brightness.
This was the only part of her more powerful Bloodline and Physique showing as everything else stemmed from her Blood Succubus Dimensional Bloodline, her body giving off silent waves of power as she waited.
Her fair face could not hide her luminous crimson eyes as red lips soon opened in surprise as a few miles from where the vessel they were on was passing, storming fluctuations of the Essence of Apollyon erupted out!
Her devilish eyes squinted the most she felt these fluctuations and saw the leading Alpha Strata Orc Daemon turn his head towards it.
'Good…'
WAA!
'Let us see what destruction has in store, and how I can use it to escape a fate under a grotesque Daemon…'
Would it be a mindless monster that would kill everything it came across? A natural phenomenon that would disrupt the current balance? Or a hellish existence that would be a better path than being under the grotesque reign of a Orc Daemon?!
As a Vessel crossed the flaming magma filled earth of the lands below them, they felt an unnatural storm of Apollyon Essence converge in an area not too far from them!
Since this was the Southern Ravine of the Daemon Orc Ravine- a domain of the Orc Daemon Commander Stephon, anything unnatural had to be investigated as the leading Orc Daemon stopped the advancement of the Vessel.
OOOM!
The oppressive and heavy atmosphere of the Apollyon Dimension pressed down as tendrils of flaming magma shot from the earth and into the skies in a wondrous show of majesty, the eyes of 10 Alpha Strata Orc Daemons and their followers landing on the storm of Apollyon Essence as things gradually became clear.
In the midst of the dissipating storm, the pristine figure of an existence came as it caused the eyes of all the Orc Daemons to flash with a profound light, the eyes of the leading Alpha Strata Orcs actually flashing with destiny as before they even moved- they tested the weaving of destiny when gazing at this new being as this would decide how they acted against him!
Beings at their levels were proficient in destiny as the Orc Daemons were a brutal race, but they were taught well.
They always consulted with Destiny before making any grand actions as when none of them felt any dangers or reactions from the weaving of destiny when gazing at this being…the leading Orc Daemon released his horrific aura of power while his while lips covering his tusks formed into a brutal smile.
"A pure Human? A pure human actually dares to traverse into the lands of the great Orc Daemon Commander Stephon? Utter impudence, bring that fool here!"
…!
Before them, the visage of an exceedingly handsome human appeared as his eyes held a hint of power and confidence, his enemies not feeling any sense of a threat to him as even when they faced him, their destinies would not be able to provide an accurate representation for his level of danger!
He was masked with the authority of the Heart of Destiny as this would be a terrifying subterfuge tool that would always mislead his enemies.
But his eyes took in the surroundings as he felt his body pressed down on all sides by a terrifying pressure and heat, his Dream Dimensional Body easily withstanding it as his Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique made the heat seem like a mere dream.
He felt the foreign destructive essence of Apollyon as five unique looking Dimensional Races floated towards him- their bodies adorned in crimson black suits or armor as they had the anthropomorphic faces of pigs…these being existences that would commonly be known as Orcs!
He had appeared in the Orc Daemon domain as the first scene he came across was one of wonder.
In the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest, the minuscule Will of Lilith had brought Genevieve to the Alpha Strata level as from it, he had attained stupendous rewards.
Just his entrance into the Apollyon Dimension had him coming across a unique Dimensional Bloodline that had 10 Alpha Strata LEGENDS and hundreds at the Beta Strata standing powerfully in a formation of what seemed to be…the transport of an existence!
Tendrils of destiny weaved when Noah crossed his eyes over the crimson winged form of a robed Succubus whose pristine and undaunted face was clear to all.
When Noah saw this cluster of Orc Daemons and the Beta Strata LEGENDS coming towards him, he couldn't help but smile as this was exactly what he wanted from this Dimension!
Astoundingly powerful beings that rushed towards him to become loot.
Now…all he had to do was play it carefully to not alert the most powerful existences nearby as he established an identity here and enjoyed the brutality and destruction of the Apollyon Dimension.
"Ugly thing, why are you smiling?"
The leading Beta Strata Orc spoke out with a powerful voice as his thick hands reached out towards Noah, his hand alone being nearly the size of Noah's body as they were wrapped by an Innate Dimensional Barrier that should have totaled a bit over 100 Million!
Yet as this Orc Daemon approached Noah's body to grab him…
SHAA!
He found that his hands could not proceed forward when he was a meter away from him.
"...?"
"Ugly? You're calling me ugly?" The Quintessential Kainos Emperor raised his brows with a laid back smile as he gazed at the massive being who couldn't even get near him.
The Gravitation Reality Armament shone with a surge of Realities as it released profound waves of the Essence of the Natural Law of Gravitation that wouldn't even allow weak existences or attacks near him!
And Beta Strata LEGENDS…were now considered weak before Noah's eyes as his smile became even more devilish.
The gazes of the Beta Strata Orcs lost their smiles and laid-back expressions as the 10 Alpha Strata Daemons on the vessel became careful.
At this juncture, Noah's eyes flashed as he also actually received a mental message- and it stemmed from the existence being escorted atop the vessel!
"Sir, you do not need to show off in the Apollyon Dimension. Battles here are brutal and quick as you shouldn't even give the time for your enemies to fuse with their authorities. You also do not want them to alert their Squadron Leader. Please make a move and save me from their grasps…and I shall reward you kindly thereafter."
…!
Tendrils of destiny weaved as Noah's smile became even wider.
This Clone of his had already taken the Ascendant Quintessential Kainos Emperor True Form that any Clone could display as he could erupt with over 10 Billion Damage Values easily- and the effects of the Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion and the Throne of Quintessential Tyranny could even propel these Damage Values further for him to easily reach above 20 Billion!
Against beings that hadn't even fused with their Ascendancy Halos to attain their true forms…
SHIING!
Noah moved quickly as before it could even be processed, crimson gold Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion had appeared in his hands and swung horizontally, terrifying essence surging around it as it instantly bisected the bodies of the 5 Beta Strata Orc Daemons nearby!
If they had not died…this swing would have further been mirrored by the feature of this Blade as Noah could choose to cast an ability from it or swing it as a weapon- but his base Damage would still exceed 10 Billion!
HOONG!
Before this scene could even be absorbed, his Tri-Pupiled eyes flashed as his thoughts were directed towards the remaining hundreds of Beta Strata Orcs and the 10 Alpha Strata ones.
"PERISH!"
"PERISH…!"
Thoughts.
They carried the Emperor's Haki as even his thoughts carried over 10 Billion Damage Values, smashing into the minds of his selected targets as those at the Beta Strata…did not stand a chance.
Those at the Alpha Strata….
"OOOOH!"
Were bleeding profusely from their orifices as their Innate Dimensional Barriers that had reached 10 Billion saved them as they scrambled to fuse with their Halos, their True Vitality Values already being drained as their life force tried to bubble forth- but the Quintessential Kainos Emperor would not have it.
"Hoo…"
Time slowed as Noah breathed out and felt the Natural Law of Gravitation.
The tendrils and particles of this law wrapped around his body as the distance between him and the 10 Alpha Strata Orc Daemons was shrunk in an instant, a terrifying Gravitational force wrapping around their bodies and pulling them towards the same location.
A location…where he had already arrived in as he swung the Emperor Ruined Blade of Oblivion with his right and brought down the Atlatl of Reality to his left.
Below him, the Assassin Emperor of Severance had arrived to thunder down while above, the ecstatic face of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation formed as it already rained down a fast and deadly ball of nuclear flames!
10 supremely powerful existences at the Alpha Strata.
Not yet fully fused with their authorities as they faced a base minimum of 10 Billion Damage Values on all sides after their Innate Dimensional Barriers had been taken down.
The result was a disastrous one.
BOOOM!
Space roiled and tumbled as the Essence of Apollyon erupted out and rose to the skies, crimson gold true blood flying out as the scene gradually became clear.
Surrounded by a rain of crimson gold blood and the shattered armaments of Orc Daemons, a devilishly handsome visage of a human wielding a Blade and a Spear of Reality was all that remained, the husks of bodies of Beta Strata Orcs that had lost their souls from the initial attack lying down on the vessel he now stood on as the only ones to remain atop it…were him, and a unique Dimensional Royalty who was gazing at his location with shining crimson eyes!
10 Alpha Strata LEGENDS.
He had only ever taken one down before as just within seconds of his entrance into the Apollyon Dimension…he took down 10!
"Ah…."
Destiny weaved madly as a shocking monster had arrived in a Dimension full of monstrous existences- the changes his presence would cause being something no being in these lands could even guess at this moment!
Hecate was the only one living to witness the coming of this being as when she sensed the wild essence of Apollyon in the surroundings, her lips curved into a devilish smile.
She could see another path.
A path that she utilized her somewhat profound understanding of the Decretum of Apollyon to pull towards her.
The only question about this path...was whether this being that was capable of immense destruction that caused Apollyon Essence to run wild...was whether he would be someone that she ensnared with her charms and made to work for her, or whether she would be placed under his feet!
Neither options were against her nature as a Succubus as for her, any possibility on this path was better than coming under the oppression of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander!
As the events played out in the Apollyon Dimension, Noah was still staring at a golden book with his Preponderant Irminsul form as he was collecting focused information in order to make the best possible decisions through Author's Viewpoint.
He was currently viewing information of the curvaceous crimson winged existence who was being escorted into the Domains of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander Stephon, the memories of the Orc Daemons Noah had just erased flowing through his mind as he learned of many things!
"Hecate Eranelon…Daughter of The Golden Incubus Eranelon. She was to be presented to Stephon to quell his domination of the Rosebud Domain that Incubus Eranelon controls…and I have just stopped that escort as from this…"
Many possibilities and paths rose as Noah could choose to play this in multiple ways that would benefit him by giving him an identity in the Apollyon Dimension that wouldn't draw too many eyes while he also attained the loot he wished!
"Let's do this…" So he began to decide plans and consult with Destiny on how they would unfold while in his mind, the boons of eradicating just the 10 Alpha Strata LEGENDS Strata rolled in first.
5 Obsidian Tier Randomized Loot Crates have been attained.
Noah had divided the loot half and half into Loot Crates and then through the normal method of attaining loot and the concepts and Bloodlines of his enemies as the surprises were abundant!
First was the attainment of the first Obsidian Tiered Randomized Loot Crate when initially, the highest he had gotten were gold black in color.
Thereafter…
+25,000 Alpha Blood Pearls have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+25 Empyral Physique Refining Pearls obtained.
+25,000 Ionized Soul Drops have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+25 Ionized Soul Seas have been obtained.
+5 Reality Panaceas have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+5 Grotto Panaceas have been obtained.
An incalculable number of Skill Points have been obtained… DING! The Essence quantified as skill points is unique as it had been altered.
50 Kainos Dimensional Resource Points have been obtained.
The effects of Absolute Looter are applied.
You have attained 5 Shards of Profundity that contain the musings of the Decretum of Apollyon. 50 Shards shall grant a preliminary understanding of the Decretum of Apollyon.
You have attained the TABOO Edicts of Magma Emperor, Brutal Sustenance, Emboldened Reproduction, Obscene Regenerator….
The Quasi-TABOO….
The Dimensional Bloodline of the Orc Daemon has been attained.
Beautiful prompts cascaded down as the first enemy of the Alpha Strata that Noah had killed was Lilith/Genevieve as she was turned into a Quintessential Treasure Cache.
These Orc Daemons were the next ones for Noah to kill as they left behind new loot to enjoy- namely Empyral Physique Refining Pearls, Ionized Soul Seas, and Grotto Panaceas!
There were other wonders for Noah to go through as while he did this, the meeting in the Apollyon Dimension played out.
—
"Sire."
Atop the floated Vessel filled with crimson gold rivers of blood that flowed down onto the magma filled earth below and burned into dazzling flames, a unique existence that was half Succubus and half something else bowed down her curvaceous body towards the existence that had just wiped out 10 Alpha Strata LEGENDS in an instant.
She was learned on the ways of men due to her nature as she knew what they wanted.
This man before her didn't seem like the breed of many others as even then, Hecate knew what to do as she tested whether she had a chance of controlling him or if she would be out under his heel.
SHIING!
Unseen red mist erupted from her as she pulled upon Innate abilities from the depths of her soul.
Her expansive red wings opened as she rose, her crimson eyes coming to lock onto this being as the moment she saw his knowing smile with his head turned sideways and his eyes turning sharp…
CLANG!
Hecate instantly dropped to her knees.
"I apologize, I shouldn't have tried to test the one who saved me."
Her soul trembled as her heart pounded- the moment she had locked her eyes onto him telling her many things as if she chose to disrespect him any further by directing her abilities towards him, a grim future might be awaiting her!
So she chose another route.
What she had to do first was give just a little bit of importance to herself.
"This young one is Hecate Eranelon of the Golden Succubus Lineage and the Dimensional Royal Lineage of the Prime Apollyon Daemon. My weak father could not protect me as he bent the knee to the Mad Orc Daemon Commander Stephon, sending me to him as a tribute as I would have to spend my days under the disgusting oppression of an Orc Daemon…ferocious creatures whose need for wanton destruction is only met by their lust. For having spared me of this fate, I shall submit myself to you."
…!
Her buzzing mind moved rapidly as her will gazed at the minute changes of expressions and behavior of the powerful human before her.
It mattered not to her whether he was truly human or not in the Apollyon Dimension- strength was the only thing that ruled!
Those that were weak would be subjugated under the strong as Hecate…she had tried her best to be among the strong as she was an astounding genius who even grasped a significant understanding in the Decretum of Apollyon, but she still could not escape the fact that she was young.
Even if she broke her Limits in her Body and Soul before establishing her Reality and managing to crystalline her Aspects of Existence to attain the Beta Strata…what she missed was time to grow.
Those who had lived longer than her were still stronger as here she was being shipped off as a tribute to a tyrant.
She hated that she was weak, and she hated even more that those she could depend on to protect her were also weak!
But this being before her that could eradicate multiple Alpha Strata LEGENDS in a second..
SHIING!
Hecate could see a wondrously radiant destiny as she realized it might just be possible to change her fate and attain the strength she always sought- no matter the cost!
So the first thing that Hecate did was submit herself to this being the moment she saw that he was too powerful for even her charms as a Succubus to sway him.
"You submit yourself to me…but why should I accept you? What can you give me that I do not have?"
This being walked towards her slowly as his visage became more towering by the second, the crimson wings behind Hecate expanding as while reading the constantly changing facial expressions of this being, she saw a hint of less interest than before as she instantly changed her tactics.
She saw his expression and eyes as she realized that this being was not one who simply enjoyed someone docile bending the knee and treating them like a king.
His eyes held the majesty of someone who had countless existences that had bent the knee to him as this didn't interest him!
'Then what he would want is…'
The mind of this unique being spun as she thought about powerful Dimensional Emperors throughout history and what every exceptional being in this current Age wanted.
Power and influence!
When she thought of this, her mind was made up as she rose up powerfully- changing her entirely docile demeanor as her crimson black hair flowed smoothly while she also walked forward to meet the being before her!
"As the daughter of the Golden Incubus Eranelon, I know the secrets and have access to the Rosebud Domain that has trillions of Golden Succubi. I can work with you to attain that Domain if you wish."
WAA!
Her eyes shone with an enticing allure and ingenuity as she continued.
"My father is a weak Ultima Strata Incubus as he doesn't boast the greatest battle power, thus he bent the knee to the Mad Orc Daemon Commander in order to keep reign over his Domain. When the Mad Orc Daemon Commander does not receive me as expected, he will send even more powerful forces and eventually just come to wage war and conquer the Rosebud Domain as if Master wishes it, I can also aid you in whatever ways possible to overcome this Mad Orc Daemon Commander as you can set your sights on his domain as well!"
…!
Her feet were moving lightly, and yet she had arrived before Noah as her face looked stern yet enticing, her eyes shining brilliantly as her expanded crimson wings made her look like a Holy Daemon that should not be touched.
"Lastly, I hold both the Lineages of the Golden Succubus and the Royal Lineage of the Prime Apollyon Daemon. I have the Mythical Natural Born Prime Apollyon Physique as paired with my Origins as a Succubus…you can have me serve you whenever you wish as I can promise you…nobody else shall taste better than me."
Her visage was astounding.
Her gaze was unshakable and filled with a robust resolve as she stared at the being before her whose smile had returned to being that of great interest!
"All I ask…is for you to allow me to also grow stronger than the current me. I also wish to move unhindered and protect myself. I also wish to not bow my head before another as I have my own pride! But I will bow my head before you and aid you in whatever you ask for as I know the current me is still weak. So in all this…just grant me the opportunities and time to grow so that I can also move with the same confidence as you."
"..."
Her monologue finished as the Quintessential Kainos Emperor gazed at this unique being and even clapped his hands lightly, his mesmerizing voice ringing out.
"What is your title?"
Her title.
What defined her!
"ENTICIER EMPEROR"
WAA!
Above her head, a dazzling crimson black crown was unveiled as the words ENTICIER EMPEROR shone with glory.
Noah nodded as he observed her resolve and unique power while erupting out with the Essence of the Tyrannical Emperor.
"Pledge Fealty."
HUUM!
The Essence of Conquest thundered down as Noah was thorough, the Dimensional Royalty before him bowing down as even her wings did the same, Noah's hand coming to raise her chin as he stared into her crimson eyes that were currently trembling slightly as they felt the shocking change on Destiny and Soul Power as she became connected to Noah!
Her eyes were extremely big and wide as they would draw anyone in, with her fair face being young as she seemed like Royalty that was at most in her late 20s.
The crimson black hair flowing down to her shoulders on top of her blessed figure was enough to drive any being crazy as only lifted her chin up and asked.
"So if you were me, what would you do now that you have stopped the escort of a prize of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander?"
A simple question that caused this existence who just became bound to Noah to step out of her reverie and refocus, looking towards him with even greater shock and respect as a second later…she actually turned stern!
"Master, if I may…you have just recently begun exploring the Apollyon Dimension, yes?"
After becoming bound to him, Hecate felt much freer to speak as when she saw her new Master nod, she actually spoke sternly to get across a fundamental lesson!
"Then I will tell Master that if you seek to attain power and influence in the Apollyon Dimension, you need to display an even greater level of brutality and destruction. Not just in your attacks…but in your words and behaviors. Even if you must act…you must make it seem like below the crimson skies of the Apollyon Dimension, nobody can look beneath you. You must not just display tyranny, but the hellish and brutal tyranny only privy within this Dimension!"
WAA!
"In this Dimension, only pure power and strength speak as if there is any sign of weakness- even the ants will crawl up to try biting you. So your manner of speaking, how you look, and the grandeur your release has to already be stunning that no common being can just look your way. For example, how long does Master plan to keep your human form? Are you able to take on the form of a Daemon or something similar?"
The Golden Succubus Hecate Eranelon spoke powerfully as her unique demeanor only caused Noah's smile to widen, his sharp eyes shining as he called out lightly!
"Arch Demon Lord Transformation."
BZZZT!
Fiery crimson energy blazed upwards as the Ascendant Quintessential Kainos Emperor True Form became altered ever so slightly, the transformation ability from the Seven Deadly Sins returning on this day and making its debut in the Apollyon Dimension!
Hecate's eyes pulsed with wonder and power as she saw her new Master.
His body transformed as he became taller and more imposing, a demonic air whipping around the surroundings as Hecate felt the surge of a powerful Bloodline!
It didn't give off the same feel as a Dimensional Royal Bloodline, and yet it had the same intensity as the man adorned in an Armament of swirling Realities had Obsidian wings erupt from his back, his hair becoming dyed entirely black as two horns rose from his head and pointed to the skies sharply.
Between the two horns, dark flames came to be as they formed into a spinning crown of Obsidian flames, his whole face becoming immensely more devilish as it held a demonic charm that could put even the most mesmerizing Incubus to shame!
This was because even though the Arch Demon Lord Transformation was not able to display its boosts like before as its authority just wasn't enough in this stage of Reality, it still held the inmate abilities of the Absolute Sin that included all of the Seven Deadly Sins. It still had within it the Sin of Lust.
His demonic nature could not be denied as Hecate Eranelon felt like she was standing in front of a Daemon Royal!
"Master…I do not know too much about you as I have many thoughts and aspirations, but not enough knowledge on how to best put them to use. Could you enlighten me just a little about yourself?"
Her eyes were dripping with interest as she asked, Noah waving his index finger as his will formed a ball of memories and information about him that most of his Vassals would know.
This ball of light flowed into her mind as when it did…
"Ah…"
She closed her eyes briefly, only to open them soon after and release a cry of disbelief as she breathed out deeply while gazing at him.
"The Tyrannical Emperor…the Quintessential Kainos Emperor!"
Such titles caused Hecate Eranelon to tremble as she realized just the sheer gravity of the being she bound herself to!
If she could guide him in the Apollyon Dimension…not just the Daemon Orc Ravine, but the vast domains of Dimensional Rulers might be a possibility.
For the one she had bound herself to actually have the title that corresponded to the current Age…anything was possible as Hecate's eyes shone with glory and Destiny.
"Then Master…you already have a rousing will of Tyranny as to thrive in this Dimension, you have to truly act in a manner of hellish tyranny that borders near overbearing. Display anywhere you go that when you arrive, other Emperors lose their qualifications."
WAA!
As she spoke, her crimson wings buzzed as her curvaceous body glowed with light, the Essence of the Decretum of Apollyon buzzing around her as she unexpectedly took on an admonishing tone!
"And I mean hellish tyranny in all aspects, Master. Like currently- you have a Golden Succubus that also holds the Bloodline of a Dimensional Royalty who has just submitted herself to you…why have you not swallowed her up yet? You will benefit to gain a semblance of a Royal Dimensional Physique and attain the momentary boosts of a Golden Succubus. Let your reservations free and take what is right in front of you first, then after you are refreshed…I shall present to you the Rosebud Domain that my father rules."
…!
Her words truly turned admonishing as she stood straight and actually tested the tyranny of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor!
"Hellish Tyranny, huh?"
BOOOM!
The vessel they were on trembled as a domain erupted to envelop everything, Noah's mesmerizing obsidian-winged demonic figure walking towards the crimson-winged Hecate who couldn't help but blink her eyes multiple times in a short time period, hoping that she didn't provoke her new Master too much as there was much to be done!
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor made a move towards a Dimensional Royalty as unlike what he expected, the weaving of destiny was unpredictable as it wasn't Katelyn that he would manage to test the concepts of Dual Cultivation when it came to Dimensional Physiques and what their boons would be.
It would instead be a new helper that had just bound herself to him as she was even bold enough to try and rouse him in a bid to have him act in a more tyrannical manner.
He would begin showing glimpses of his tyranny here as after this…there was a domain of the Lineage of Golden Succubi Daemons awaiting him as the ultimate enemy in the short term would be the Mad Orc Daemon Commander that was at the peak Ultima Strata!
—
"Hmm…"
A golden book still floated before Noah's main body as the events in the small corner of the Apollyon Dimension unfolded, his will observant on how unique the effects of Dual Cultivation would be and what he would gain from a Dimensional Royalty.
It is just like any other form of Reality altering advancement. Across the myriad of Races and existences, some gear their progression by focusing on absorbing and assimilating the Essence of their surroundings to the extremes, others specialize in devouring the strength of others, and others rely on natural treasures. You forged the Resplendent Treasure Emperor concept to allow you to devour the strength of others in a multiplication fashion, others like the Universal Emperor Slike simply absorb the Origins of their enemies to attain their power, with Orc Daemons and many of those in the Apollyon Dimension actually being similar in nature.
Lavalliere spoke out for the first time since her silence after Noah made his choice as she continued.
Brutality and destruction thrive in the Apollyon Dimension as the Decretum of Apollyon rewards destruction, with the bodies of one's enemies being taken as boons and devoured for the Dimensional Races to refine their power even more. Some races like the Orc Daemons and Golden Succubi Daemons focus on the aspect of Lust as a method of progression to get stronger, with the concept of Dual Cultivation being just like your multiplicative loot attainment…just another Reality altering method of Progression. With you stacking so many methods of progression in your path, of course you will be immensely faster than others.
WAA!
But in this case, there is an intimate interplay of essence as if you can achieve harmony during it, the progression of both of your Aspects of Existence would be even faster. And the nature of Succubi allows them to benefit from this the most as this Hecate Eranelon should benefit more from this encounter, even if you are able to attain a Dimensional Physique from this.
Lavalliere expanded on the workings of Dual Cultivation as Noah nodded lightly, giving more thought into it as at the end…
"Maybe I can forge a Keystone Ascendant Skill Tree, Edict, or REIFIED ability geared towards this to obtain the most out of it…"
He just came up with more possibilities for even more optimization!
But as this was underway, his eyes came to focus on the loot he could obtain naturally from Alpha Strata LEGENDS as he had yet to even open the pristine Obsidian Tier Randomized Loot Crates.
Just how effective would things like the Grotto Panaceas be in helping to saturate his First Dimensional Layer?
[Grotto Panacea:: A loot for all purposes. It holds within it the pure natal essence that births reality singularities. After coming to fruition from the Increased Loot Quality and Quantity of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor, it pronounces itself as one the highest ranking top tier loot under him. A single Grotto Panacea has the distinction of an Ultimate Limit Breaking Tool as an existence in the Firmaments of Ascendancy can utilize it to exceed their foundations and break their Limits in one Aspect of Existence- this feat only applicable once on any existence as taking more Grotto Panaceas thereafter will not have the effect of Limit Breaking. As it is a Panacea, it is usable at any stage of life from those who cannot utilize Mana to those grasping the Natural Laws of Reality. If the purpose is not to break one's limits in the Firmaments of Ascendancy, a single one is capable of allowing a smooth absorption of its essence to bring one from whatever stage they are on all the way to the peak of the Firmaments of Ascendancy…]
[...The absorption of 2 Grotto Panaceas will allow one to liquefy their Primogenial Strata, with 3 Panaceas allowing the crystallization of the Beta Strata. 4 Panaceas allow for the ionization of the Alpha Strata as 5 Panaceas will grant allow for the birth of the Ultima Strata. 500 Panaceas will make way for the formation of a Grotto Haven. In the context of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor, a single Panacea is capable of forging 3 Trillion Kainos Dimensional Cosmos and expanding your Dimensional Layer slightly. The formation of 100 Trillion Dimensional Cosmos will signify the saturation of a Dimensional Layer as a single Grotto Panacea can be utilized to begin the formation of the next layer whenever the prerequisite of the next Dimensional Essence is met. The Grotto Panacea tells the Quintessential Kainos Emperor to remain steadfast and butcher more Alpha and Ultima Strata existences if he wishes to obtain more of it, with the existence of RUINATION not being enough to replicate it at its current stage. Current Grotto Panaceas- 5
"...!"
Chapter 1931 Panacea, Astonishing Results! I
The appearance of a Grotto Panacea was alarming and fantastical as just its description alone was unique from others!
It gave off a great deal of information, but none was as crucial as the fact that Noah needed 100 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos to get close to saturating his first Dimensional Layer.
There was also the expansion of the Golden plane-like earthen layer as this treasure was something that could produce beautifully visible results towards Noah's path of progression!
Currently, he had been undergoing the slow and arduous process of birthing more Cosmos and expanding his Dimensional Layer with False Grotto Nacres- but his newly designed Realm retained its truth that it would be harder to raise and force than anything else as even after a few mountains of this loot were devoured, Noah had only managed to return to 14 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos.
The loot of 5 Grotto Panaceas from 10 Alpha Strata LEGENDS would be capable of granting 15 Trillion more Cosmos as Noah's speed of progression would shoot up once more!
"Good, what about the rest?"
His will was brilliant as the life force of the Preponderant Irminsul surged in the surroundings, the golden book still monitoring the waves of destiny before him as he turned his attention towards the other two new forms of Loot.
Empyral Physique Refining Pearl:: A considerably powerful loot in the hands of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor that only sits below the Grotto Panacea. A single Pearl is capable of suffusing into your Bones, Organs, and Musculature to aid in their transformation to EMPYRAL, with any Physiques in the process of being forged having their progression increased by 10,000%. It can also be considered a Limit Breaking Tool as while it does not guarantee it- if one cannot make a breakthrough in the Aspect of the Body while consuming this, they should give up on the path of power. In the context of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor, a single Empyral Physique Refining Pearl is capable of aiding in the completion of Cycles of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique, with the hard to progress Cycles after the 30th Cycle requiring only 10 Empyral Physique Refining Pearls to be completed. Similar to the Grotto Panacea, this treasure currently cannot be replicated under RUINATION as the blood and bones of Alpha and Ultima Strata existences must be ground down to pave way for its descent…
Ionized Soul Sea:: A considerably powerful loot in the hands of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor that only sits below the Grotto Panacea. It is an expansive and formless sea of Ionized pure soul power that can aid in the Limit Breaking of the aspect of the Soul. The stronger the soul, the greater the perception and understanding of concepts one can achieve. The crystallization and ionization of one's soul benefit from the Grotto Panacea, but the supplementation of the Ionized Soul Sea is most effective as it strengthens the resonance between your Aspects of Existence and allows this process to occur even faster.
Dimensional Resource Points:: An amalgamation of authority stemming from the 9 Dimensions. The Dimensional Resource Points can be utilized to form new types of Skill Trees geared towards Dimensions, or they can be burned into your soul to help elevate the understanding of a Decretum of a Dimension.
"Well now…"
The immaculate branches of the Preponderant Irminsul vibrated powerfully.
The new loot promised utmost wonders as while the Empyral Physique Refining Pearls and Ionized Soul Seas were stupendous, the Dimensional Resource Points…these were something else entirely as there was a possibility of exploding Noah's authority and power with them!
They had the capability to increase one's understanding of the Decretum of a Dimension.
For one to grasp this, they had to first understand what a Decretum entailed!
For this, Noah pulled up the description of the Decretum of Dreams that should have been quantified sufficiently for now.
[Decretum of Dreams:: An extremely high authority stemming from the Dream Dimension. Sitting above Edicts and equaling only the Natural Laws of Reality, merely being capable of commanding this authority puts you at a higher stage compared to others. Grasping any understanding in a Decretum is immensely arduous as one has to normally live and be nourished in the specific Dimension for many years, understanding its mysteries over time and eventually commanding it themselves. The Decretum of Dreams is unique in its effects as with your slight understanding, you can utilize it to call forth a Domain of Dream Essence to reject other Decretums or Natural Laws of Reality. The Decretum can also be infused into abilities as they can be bolstered in unique ways, with the most powerful augmentation of abilities coming to fruition when one is proficient enough in the Decretum to the point that they can utilize Absolute Dream Authority…]
[...The essence of this Decretum can further be infused into Relics or Concepts to birth HERESY- a powerful distinction as concepts bathed under this Decretum gain significant authority. Further uses and understanding of the Decretum are being extrapolated as the current understanding of this Decretum is at .65%. Current Boosts granted to you through this understanding- 6.5% Augmentation to True Damage Values, True Defense Values, and True Vitality Values. Every time you fall into a slumber, there is a 6.5% chance to experience the Dream of the Oneiric that allows you to delve into the dreams and Realities of the possible immediate past and futures of selected targets. Be careful in your selection as if it is someone who is highly proficient in a Decretum or Natural Law, there is a chance of them perceiving you unless you hold a higher understanding…]
The Decretum of Dreams was robust as Noah gazed at its wondrous details while voicing out.
"Assign 50 Dimensional Resource Points to the Decretum of Dreams."
BZZZT!
Authority and Essence surged into an abstruse authority as Noah observed the results.
From .65% understanding…
Current understanding of the Decretum of Dreams- .70%
…!
Chapter 1932 Panacea, Astonishing Results! II
The understanding of the Decretum of Dreams surged from .65% to .70% as a single Dimensional Resource Point was equivalent to .001% understanding in a Decretum!
The number may seem immensely low, but just the sheer fact that Noah could tulips this brute method of progression showed fantastic promise as this method…would be something that could allow him to catch up to the Dimensional Rulers and Dimensional Hellion Rulers that had been understanding the Decretum of Dreams for countless millions of years.
He was proceeding forward smoothly as just an entrance into the Apollyon Dimension was already paying off within minutes, his Will surging powerfully and gazing at the weaving of destiny as he thought of how to extend his advantages even further and obtain droves of loot like the Grotto Panaceas and Dimensional Resource Points.
The focus and spotlight came down onto the Grotto Panacea once more as after calculating and Illuminating countless paths before him…Noah made his choice as he sent a question to his Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality.
"What is the progress with the Infinite Dream Automatons…"
The 18 leading Automatons have broken all three Limits of the Aspects of Existence as they are currently establishing their Realities. Dozens more Automatons have begun their production as the same number of Triple Limit Breaker Automatons should be produced after another 24 hours.
…!
The ridiculous weapons Noah was working on on the side.
Autonomous creatures born from the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality whose entire power and Realm could be transferred onto any of his Vassals…these existences that were easiest to raise in the whole Infinite Reality were what Noah thought of first when he grasped the ridiculous Grotto Panaceas!
5 Panaceas were enough to bring an Alpha Strata LEGEND into Ultima.
For the best use of these Grotto Panaceas at this moment in time…Noah felt like it wasn't actually for himself as he could bring forth an even quicker and more astounding result another way!
And that way was with an Infinite Dream Automaton.
They were the easiest to raise as they could be optimized in shocking ways…and Noah had full control of them as they could later even hand down all their power and Realm to whoever he chose!
His eyes flashed with might and power as he waves his hands while speaking out.
"Focus on a single Dream Automaton. Spend all the current resources to quickly elevate it from Primogenial Strata into Alpha Strata…and be ready for the Utilization of an Ultima Strata Automaton."
WAA!
Shocking commands left Noah as a few mountains of False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls were transferred to be used by the Infinite Reality- Noah even sending 20 Ionized Soul Seas and Empyral Physique Refining Pearls there as this matter was of utmost importance!
This was because he wouldn't be able to fully saturate his First Dimensional Layer until possibly after a day or two depending on his movements in the Apollyon Dimension and if any nearby Domains in the Dream Dimension were alerted to the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
This alone was ridiculous enough as it was a feasibility in a mere few days, but the rising of a Dream Automaton who already had all the resources? Where Noah could pack as many TABOO Edicts as it could handle and optimize it with any Skill Trees he chose?
Destiny surged around him in a maddening fashion as it told him this wouldn't even take a few hours.
…!
With the advent of the Grotto Panaceas…bringing to light an Ultima Strata combatant under Noah that was a triple Limit Breaker was just a matter of time now!
And when he commanded an Automaton with such power…the average Ultima Strata Golden Incubus Eranelon overseeing the Rosebud Domain and the peak Ultima Strata existence that was the Mad Orc Daemon Commander Stephon…Noah would not worry about meeting them too soon as when conflict broke, an Ultima Strata Dream Automaton would return back to Noah everything he had invested into it and more!
So essence exploded out as this was placed in focus.
As for the Dual Cultivation session in the Apollyon Dimension…
Resonance of Nature reacts to the connection and oscillation of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor and his partner.
In the shrouded domain veiled from our prying eyes, the robust and mesmerizing Arch Demon Lord was connected to the Golden Succubus Hecate Eranelon as after some time, essence had surged around them uniquely in a manner of feedback that seemed to be tugging onto their very Bloodlines and Physiques!
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor felt new sources of essence and concepts flowing into him as wondrous prompts rose before his eyes.
The pure Bloodline and Physique of a Dimensional existence are being deconstructed and replicated.
The Lineage of the Prime Apollyon Daemon is 5% understood and replicated. Maintain a connection with the chosen partner and reach the very depths of their heart and soul for full understanding and attainment of this Bloodline.
The Lineage of the Golden Incubus Daemon is 8.9% understood and replicated. Maintain a connection with the chosen partner and reach the very depths of their heart and soul for full understanding and attainment of this Bloodline.
The strong connection and resonance is unearthing a full Mythical Natural Born Apollyon Physique. Maintain a connection with the chosen partner and reach the very depths of their heart and soul for full understanding and attainment of this Physique…
The reality altering boost of Life Force Propagation is granted as True Reality Vitality Values are temporarily increased by 25% for the next hour.
The reality altering boost of Nature's Cultivation is granted as the Understanding of Concepts, Natural Laws, and the Decretum of Dimensions is increased by 1,000% for the next 10 hours.
…!
Prompts rose as Noah experimented with the uniqueness of Dual Cultivation with a target that had much to give!
The Golden Succubus Hecate currently wasn't even capable of formulating a coherent thought process as she wasn't sure which one between the two of them had the Dimensional Bloodline of a Succubus/Incubus- this current session destroying everything she thought she knew and understood!
With the increased understanding of the intricacies of Dual Cultivation, this session continued in the Apollyon Dimension as during this time, Noah was forging a terrifying weapon in the Infinite Reality!
At the depths of the Dimensional Holy Land, above a sandy golden plane with fantastical Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos swirling above.
The body of a single Dream Automaton floated in a golden space as seas of loot constantly surged into it.
17 other similar-looking Automatons had smaller portions of loot surging around them in the distance as their bodies that gave off a crystalline metallic sheen while sharp weaponized hands that looked like sickles glimmered dangerously with power that could tear apart space.
The shoulders of these sharp appendages ended in a round oval shape as they floated grandly- connected to the oval Main body by a thin golden line that connected all its smooth metallic body parts!
The oval head of the isolated Automaton that floated above the whole body silently had changed as apart from the emotionless slits of eyes, a crown shone Resplendently above it as it read DAEDALUS AUTOMATON grandly.
This was a Triple Limit Breaker metallic existence that was currently infused with 10,000 TABOO Nomological Edicts, with 120 Obsidian Halos hidden within its body as above it the allure of 50 Infinite Reality Passages could already be seen!
The most powerful Geniuses Noah had come across so far were beings like Katelyn and Akaris who were Dual Limit Breakers, and this Automaton far exceeded them as after stabilizing in the Primogenial Strata, the Infinite Reality continued to focus all given resources to it as its false liquified soul that had resonated with all Aspects of Existence was the first to be stimulated- everything else following behind it.
Within its ovoid body, the allure of a Reality could be seen as new Cosmos constantly formed with the Aspects of Existence shining when the number of Cosmos neared 25 Trillion as the false soul of the Automaton began to undergo crystallization!
The vast golden sea was hardening all around as in a short period of time, it turned into beautiful crystalline structures that still perfectly bound and held together the resonated Aspects of Existence.
Beta Strata!
WAA!
Essence surged as emotionlessly, the Infinite Reality continued the same process.
Dazzling Ionized Soul Seas and Empyral Physique Refining Pearls appeared and surged into it silently.
Minutes passed as the processes of sublimation and ionization occurred at the same time, the crystallized solid particles of the soul becoming faster and faster as it began to turn gaseous and go towards becoming plasma!
The number of Cosmos within its singular Reality also reached 100 Trillion as soon after….
HOONG!
Booming waves of essence surged out as a circular golden blast emanated from this emotionless Automaton as it attained the Alpha Strata.
...
The Infinite Reality gazed at it silently as spatial waves fluctuated.
Soon after, blinding multicolored light bloomed as one of the most powerful loot under Noah was taken out.
Radiant in color and as vast as the Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos spinning above, a massive flower whose petals were formed from rivers of realities came out.
Its Reality petals seemed innumerable as they shone with incandescent beauty, a blinding light clustered at the center of all these petals as 4 more just like it appeared soon after to surround the figure of the Infinite Dream Automaton.
5 Grotto Panaceas to produce an Ultima Strata existence rotated around the golden Automaton as the wings of light behind its back glimmered wondrously.
Its emotionless eyes opened with a blinding light as the Grotto Panaceas unfurled!
—
"Ah…"
The glorious body of the Arch Demon Lord stretched side to side as Noah gave a contented sigh, a domain he had enacted and imposed the 1:20,000 time ratio of the Infinite Reality disappearing at this time as the figure of a radiant Golden Succubus could also be seen behind him.
She seemed more powerful as shockingly, she was not of the Beta Strata anymore as after the passage of a mere hour in the outside Dimension and the passage of 20,000 hours within the isolated domain- she had achieved the Alpha Strata from the Dual Cultivation session!
It was in the nature of Succubi and Incubi to have a faster elevation in power when they controlled lust and everything to do with it, but this result was just unbelievable as even while looking weary, Hecate Eranelon continued to affirm it multiple times.
"Master, you might need to obtain more Dimensional Princesses and Queens and form a harem…I do not think I alone will be sufficient."
Hecate spoke seriously as she felt the foreign circulation of Dream Essence and the beginnings of a Physique she didn't fully grasp as she thought back to the last 20,000 hours.
Her gains were ridiculous as she couldn't fathom how, but Noah's Origin that was a Dimensional Reality contained more essence and power within it than any existence in the Alpha Strata!
Every time they were connected and underwent a feedback of essence between each other, the burst that Hecate received allowed for trillions of Cosmos to form constantly as thereafter, it was only the strengthening of her remaining Aspects of Existence before she broke through from peak Beta and to the Alpha Strata Realm!
This was also the method Noah was utilizing to ridiculously elevate the power of Adelaide, Barbatos, Athena, Valentina, Anna, Elena…and a few others as they had already broken one of their Limits in this manner.
The ways of elevating strength and power were unique in the vast Realities and Dimensions as Noah's ways were simply ridiculous.
It was different with Hecate Eranelon as she held Innate Physiques and Dimensional Bloodlines as even though she had benefited stupendously from Noah…his own benefits were not little!
The prompts were as always, glorious to see.
The VENERABLE Prime Apollyon Igneous Daemon Dimensional Bloodline has been attained.
The Quasi-VENERABLE Golden Incubus Bloodline has been attained.
Due to the strong connection and its length, the full Mythical Natural Born Apollyon Physique has been attained.
The results were stupendous as this wasn't all!
On top of attaining a Venerable Dimensional Bloodline and an Innate Dimensional Physique…a reaction had occurred when they bloomed inside his body!
The Bloodline of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor was already trying to surge past VENERABLE.
It had attained the Preponderant Irminsul Dimensional Bloodline as now, a brilliant Prime Apollyon Igneous Daemon Dimensional Bloodline had also appeared as its effects…
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor absorbs the Aspects of the Prime Apollyon Igneous Daemon and the Golden Succubus Dimensional Bloodlines.
The path past VENERABLE becomes clearer.
BZZT!
Bubbling Bloodline power surged around Noah as new possibilities and forms became accessible to him!
His Arch Demon Lord gradually changed as the horns became painted crimson gold, the fiery flaming throne above his head enlarging and letting off fiery Bloodline authority.
His body became even more robust underneath the DHARMA Relic Gravitational Reality Armament as his wings became surrounded by constantly burning golden flames, his face becoming even more handsome and devilish as his Tri-Pupiled eyes surged with demonic light!
The Mythical Natural Born Apollyon Physique is being absorbed by the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique as it undergoes evolution.
The number of Infinite Reality Passages that can be withstood by a single cycle of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique has been increased to 6.
WAA!
A fundamental change also bloomed for Noah's Physique as from gaining slots for 3 Infinite Reality Passages per cycle, he could now attain 6!
Multiple mountainous Reality Passages began to form the moment this prompt rose as they wanted to make their way past 100.
This was the most immediate effect of the absorption of another Dimensional Royal Physique as any other changes were still being quantified- with Noah always receiving feedback that they would be similar to the abilities he could utilize in the Dream Dimension as they would now be applicable to the Apollyon Dimension too!
Slow and steady.
Well, not really slow- but Noah was steadily rising and optimizing his power even more as mind you…this was just after an hour passed since he entered the Apollyon Dimension.
Now…there was Conquest of Dimensional Domains that remained!
Noah collected his thoughts as towards Hecate Eranelon's very serious assertion that she didn't think she would be sufficient for him and for him to obtain a harem of Dimensional Royalties…
"Well, there's already a harem that isn't too small." Noah replied with a smile as he appreciated the beauty and majesty of his Arch Demon Lord form that he wanted to term as his official Daemon form.
Hecate nodded as if she expected it, her crimson wings expanding as she still asserted seriously.
"Then the Master may need to double or triple the current Harem."
"..."
Dangerous words came out of her mouth with seriousness as Noah only shook his head with a devilish smile while causing surges of spatial essence to wrap around them.
"If need be. For now, let us see the Rosebud Domain and whether it has the strength to withstand the enraged Mad Orc Daemon Commander…"
SHIING!
The spatial essence wrapped around them as with the memories from those he killed and Hecate herself, Noah chose to instantly teleport towards the Boundary of the Rosebud Domains to tour the first lands that were vaster than any Kingdoms or Domains he had come across!
The number of Dimensional creatures in this domain alone toppled trillions as it was part of the lands that had been occupied for countless years in this powerful Dimension.
And he wanted to put it all under him as with Conquest, there would be the rise of the True Stars of Conquest.
There would be more tools for Empowerment!
And with the countless existences in a Dimension…Noah wanted to get as many as possible as he planned to move with care to not alert the Dimensional Rulers and two Dimensional Hellion Rulers too quickly- especially the one whose will he had decimated once.
He would move under another title in this Apollyon Dimension.
As the spatial essence that had wrapped around them dissipated, Noah's voice echoed out while a new scene painted itself before their eyes.
"Hecate, as we move…I shall take on the identity of the Daemon of Tyranny."
WAA!
"Yes, Master." The cunning eyes of a Dimensional Royalty shone as she bowed and nodded to her Master- an existence who came to the bounds of the Rosebud Domain with the daughter of the current master of this Domain bowing towards him!
The scene around them was unique as the immense heat of the Apollyon Dimension could still be felt while tendrils of magma pillars of flames rose up the endless skies.
What was unique was the vast stretches of land holding twinkling lights of civilization- of a massive empire that had countless structures emitting wondrous light stretching as far as the eyes could see!
The further in one's eyes went, the taller the structures became as one could see they were built from powerful minerals that shone with an incandescent gold-black glow.
The entire area was wider than many Realities put together as some areas included stretches of mountains and forests as wide as Cosmos- these acting as borders that defined different clusters of smaller domains in the larger Rosebud Domain.
In the central domain with the tallest structures…there was a shocking phenomenon above it as in the skies, the massive Skeleton of what seemed to be Daemon Dragon floated powerfully!
Its body gave off fantastical waves of power as its skeletal jaws were opened wide, releasing a drizzling of essence onto the core of the Rosebud Domain where the Golden Succubi dominated.
"That's the preserved body of a Prime Apollyon Dragon Daemon Bloodline that had reached the upper bounds of the Grotto Haven. It has been showing its vital essence for the last 10 million years."
Hecate spoke calmly as their figures were teleporting across the skies and getting ever closer to the central area of the Rosebud Domain that was filled with life.
Today in particular, there was an extra bustling of activity as a somewhat somber celebration was being held!
A few hours prior, they had watched Princess Hecate Eranelon escorted by Orc Daemons to be taken as a concubine of the powerful Mad Orc Daemon Commander who caused the nearby local Emperors to hesitate.
This meant they were effectively allied with this terrifying force as they wouldn't be embroiled in war and destruction until they submitted to the reign of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander who loved brutality and chaos.
So for the vast majority of LEGENDS, this was a cause for celebration.
The reality-sized core of the Rosebud Domain was bustling and active as Golden Succubi and Incubi Daemons moved along with a few minor races, with the Golden Lust City where the ruling Succubi lived being the most bustling as the Ruler of this Domain was present in the celebration here!
There was an expansive feast as those who could be considered Succubi Nobles enjoyed themselves on top of circular golden platforms that stably floated in the skies- thousands of these disk-like platforms holding those in the Firmaments of Ascendancy and LEGENDS rankings from Primogenial to Alpha Strata.
The weakest being celebrated in the buildings below as the largest circular golden platform that took the highest peak was the one where the current Ruler of the Rosebud Domain was situated.
Powerful Alpha and Beta Strata LEGENDS surrounded him as with a drink in hand, his devilish handsomeness showed a tinge of sadness hidden in his kingly visage every time he drank!
He didn't know that two particularly unique beings were crossing the crimson skies of this domain as their target was the very highest golden platform that held the most powerful Succubi and Incubi Daemons.
"Master, are you sure about going straight in like this? My father may be a weak Ultima Strata Incubus, but he is still of the Ultima Strata. Has Master…already reached this stage as well?"
Hecate's voluptuous figure shone with increased beauty and valor as she asked, the reply that came being a unique one!
"No, I haven't personally reached this stage yet."
With a mesmerizing and mysterious smile, Noah spoke out such cryptic words as Hecate's mind and chest buzzed.
'Personally?'
The wording of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor left much to be implied as seeing his worry-free expression, Hecate Eranelon trusted her Master unquestionably as the Daemon of Tyranny delved into the first Domain within the Apollyon Dimension!
A vibrant domain with countless existences.
Hellish pillars of Magma like flames rose up to the skies as they were incorporated as markers, with multiple clusters of densely packed domains shining with activity throughout!
This was the Rosebud Domain of the Incubus Emperor Eranelon- one of the weaker Domains in this region as it was filled with vitality.
Golden disk-like platforms littered the skies that had a giant Daemon Dragon Skeleton floating above, the highest golden platform in the center of this domain holding the core powerhouses that contained even the Incubus Emperor himself!
Seated on a light red throne, this Ultima Strata existence had a solidified crown that valiantly read the words EMPEROR. This was an existence that had broken their shackles before the Age of Quintessence was fully underway as his authority didn't match his power.
He looked aged and powerful as his face contained an evil handsomeness, twisting horns rising from his head as wings with picking light flames burning around them stretched out from behind him as he was adorned in a silky layer of armaments.
The Golden platform he was at the center of was bustling with activity as he drank the golden cup within his hands and showed traces of sadness which would be drowned out and faded away soon after!
He was thinking about 1 particular figure at this time that he had carried back into this domain with his very own hands- after he had begged the Dimensional Royalty he had been with not to discard his daughter just because her mixed blood would be looked down upon in her Prime Apollyon Daemon Royal Lineage.
"Hecate?!"
He seemed to have been thinking of her so much that he heard her name being called out, a wry smile rising from him as he gazed up to see the vibrant figures of Succubi and Incubi come to a stop.
"My goodness…it really is Hecate!"
The same voice that had come out before rang out again as all Wills were roused, their eyes coming to focus on figures that were descending from the skies as among them was none other than Princess Hecate Eranelon!
Was….was she not supposed to be serving the Mad Orc Daemon Commander Stephon by now?
Puzzlement and doubt were prevalent on the faces of exquisite Beta and Alpha Strata Succubi and Incubi as their eyes couldn't help but also focus on the devilish Daemon descending with Hecate and his glorious form- and the realization that Hecate had somehow reached…the Alpha Strata!
"Hecate…"
Eranelon's gaze was difficult to see as he came out of his stupor and sighed at the sight of his daughter.
"Father."
The reply from Hecate was cold as there was no hint of warmth in her words even as she called out her father's title.
Her eyes also carried a hint of sadness and disappointment as she didn't hate many things in this Dimension…but she utterly detested those who were too weak to protect what they love!
For her own father to pawn her off in order to keep his domain and prevent a possible war that would decimate Trillions…even if his excuse was doing it for the safety of the domain- it was still inexcusable.
So even though she saw a hint of sadness in his eyes…it didn't reach her even one bit.
Seeing the coldness from his daughter, many thoughts surged out in the Incubus Emperor's mind and the minds of many of why Princess Hecate Eranelon would be here!
His eyes also turned to the being beside her as he asked the both of them, his gaze retaining the majesty of a king.
"What is this? You were supposed to be on your way to the Domains of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander as if any problems arise, he will use it as a reason to attack! Where is the Legion of Orc Daemons that were escorting you?"
The might of a king was pervasive as all other voices quieted down in this region, their eyes on the figures of Hecate and the devilishly handsome Daemon that even caused the season Succubi to lick their lips!
"They have all perished, father."
…!
Hecate's answer caused alarm to rise in the eyes of many as Eranelon's eyes turned sharp.
"What happened? What could eradicate such a powerful Legion and still have you stand before us-"
"I killed them."
BZZT!
A laid-back voice actually interrupted the Incubus Emperor as the surroundings became oppressive an instant after!
"...What?"
Space crackled and malformed as a terrifying pressure cascaded from Eranelon- the pure grandeur of an Ultima Strata existence beginning to permeate outwards.
All focus came onto the being beside Hecate as his devilish figure took the spotlight, his expansive golden black flaming wings and muscular visage looking extremely laid back as he actually adopted an annoyed expression soon after!
"I don't like repeating myself twice."
WAA!
An air of freedom and tyranny emanated from him as even while standing before the undeniable might of an Ultima Strata existence who could dish out 100+ Billion Damage Values with their full power…he seemed unfettered!
His words were in direct opposition to the grandeur of the Incubus Emperor Eranelon as dozens of nearby Alpha Strata Incubi and Succubi instantly rose into neat and oppressive lines before Noah while Emperor Eranelon himself expanded his authority, the skies becoming infused with a pink light as the Throne he sat on trembled.
Destiny flashed in his eyes as he spoke dangerously.
"You dare to ruin the relations with the Mad Orc Daemon Commander and I while insulting my authority in my own Domain? Who are you? What do you seek?!" Astonishing pink flames were beginning to surge around him as he continued! "My dear daughter, who is this being you bring into our domain and stand beside?!"
The regal wrath of the Incubus Emperor was palpable as lines of Alpha Strata LEGENDS continued to form before him in a fantastical fashion.
Yet even while facing all of this, the expression on Noah's face remained unimpressed as he spoke while his eyes turned sharp.
"I protected your daughter when you failed at such a job, and then I thought of coming here and taking over your domain."
"..."
Eyes blinked multiple times as all nearby beings processed the casual words they just heard.
It…was just too straightforward and simple!
The Daemon of Tyranny didn't beat around the bush or use any schemes, simply stating that he planned to conquer this domain without any pretenses!
"..."
BOOOM!
Wild waves of essence erupted as rows of Alpha Strata LEGENDS instantly called out their Halos and fused with them, their powerful wills surging towards the being casually saying unbelievable and dangerous words!
All those in the surroundings were Commanders of the Incubus Emperor's Legions as they were seasoned fighters, instantly moving in formation as their Legions that were spread out across the Rosebud Domain were also alerted.
The Princess had returned with a foreign being who had eradicated a Legion of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander as he now casually spoke about usurping the reign of the Incubus Emperor!
This was a situation that had to be handled delicately as when the Alpha Strata Commanders attained their strongest forms, Princess Hecate Eranelon shockingly moved in front of the being protectively as if she didn't care for her life.
The wrath in the eyes of the Incubus Emperor was palpable at such a juncture as he raised his hand to command the rows of Alpha Strata LEGENDS. There was a problem on their side as they knew nothing about their enemy, and he didn't make his Realm visible as when they checked him they couldn't be sure what level of power he was!
For him to talk like this, would he have the power to back it or was he merely bluffing?
The answer to this lay with destiny as in order for the Incubus Emperor Eranelon to read this accurately…the wonder that was the Heart of Destiny would have to be absent.
"You don't need to play the guessing game on whether I am powerful and can back up what I said or not."
WAA!
The mesmerizing voice of the Daemon of Tyranny surged as his eyes were not even on the Incubus Emperor, his gaze focused on the rising prompts and changes as the Dimensional Bloodlines he had gained continued to be assimilated along with the Mythical Natural Born Apollyon Physique being incorporated into his Infinite Dream Physique.
You have gained a preliminary understanding in the Decretum of Apollyon.
As a Royal Bloodline was assimilated by him while an even more pristine physique was swallowed, the gains continued to come as he waved his hands at this moment to control the pervasive Apollyon Essence that was in the surroundings.
HUUM!
It gradually formed into a Throne of the Decretum of Apollyon behind him as he went to sit down while beckoning for Hecate to come sit on the wide hand rest of the Throne, his voice continuing to echo out in this tense situation!
"You see, you've got a nice domain here with Trillions of beings."
Noah's hand motioned to the vibrant lit up domains below that stretched out endlessly as his smile became even more devilish.
"It would be a shame if it was all razed down by the Mad Orc Daemon Commander because you couldn't protect it, so I'll just be doing it on your behalf."
…!
"Our lives are made up of choices, and two of them lie before you now. You can choose to doubt me and send out an attack to test me, or you can take my words as true and inevitable and you can submit yourselves to me."
He sat on the throne of crimson black essence as his grandeur shockingly surpassed the Incubus Emperor whose face was becoming dark and clouded.
"I will allow you to retain a ruling position if you submit yourself, but if you choose to even test me…I cannot guarantee your life even if you submit after that."
Tyranny.
Boundless and hellish tyranny emanated from this being as he spoke so confidently while facing an Ultima Strata existence!
The weaving of destiny lulled as all Succubi and Incubi in the surroundings got into formation while waiting for the command of their Emperor.
Dozens of Alpha Strata LEGENDS in neat rows were ready as they had taken their true forms while waiting for the command from a single existence!
An existence that had lived for Millions of years and fought off the advancement of other regional lords this whole time!
An existence that had even sacrificed his daughter in order to not have a catastrophic war with a powerful existence that was nearly stepping into the Grotto Haven Realm.
Would he really bend the knee from the words of a single being?
"Father."
Hecate Eranelon seemed to know this as her eyes shone with ingenuity and seriousness. At the end of the day, the man before her was still her father. Since she completely trusted her Master, she knew his words carried immense gravity as if she could, she wished to save him and those of her Lineage.
"If there was ever a time for you to listen to me, it would be now."
"..."
"Bend the knee. The one I now serve will lead us towards boundless glory."
An oppressive silence hung in the surroundings as oppressive wills bubbled up even further.
What had to be said was already said.
What remained now was a choice.
Like always…after beings discerned Destiny, there came time for them to make a choice as this would ultimately decide their path.
'But…the choice was made long ago.'
HUUUM!
Noah's thoughts were vibrant as he knew the choice for the Emperor before him was made the moment he made his will known.
It was why he spoke the way he did as ultimately, it served Noah better if he was attacked!
It served him better as it would open up paths of even more loot.
After millions of years of hard work and elevating his Domain to where it was now…would the Incubus Emperor Eranelon really leave it all at the threat of words and even kneel to another being?
BZZZT!
The pink flames rising in the surroundings became even more oppressive as the eyes of the Incubi and Succubi Daemons flashed with power and oppression.
The choice was made.
ZIING!
The rows of Dozens of Alpha Strata LEGENDS moved as tens of Billions of Damage Values in the form of abilities erupted out!
This wasn't all as from his throne, the Incubus Emperor Eranelon also made a move as he didn't just command his Commanders to do so!
Incandescent REIFIED concepts formed in the now pink flaming skies as seated on a newly erected throne made from the Essence of the Decretum of Apollyon, the smile on the Daemon of Tyranny became increasingly deep!
The scorching skies above the Rosebud Domain lit up and changed colors, attaining a pinkish hue as the flames of many Succubi and Incubi Daemons rose.
They coagulated into forms of a myriad of Daemons and variations of themselves as they echoed out with boundless destruction- many of them carrying the Essence of the Decretum of Apollyon!
But this wasn't the most dreadful sight.
The most dreadful thing to see was that above the visage of the Incubus Emperor Eranelon, a pair of incandescent illusory wings with countless pairs of pink eyes manifested. And when these eyes opened, they shot out radiant beams of light that formed into a singular dreadful pillar of light that would reach the target far faster than anyone else!
Attacks from dozens of Alpha Strata LEGENDS and an Ultima Strata existence!
They all surged towards the figure of the Daemon of Tyranny as he sat on his makeshift throne, the gaze of this being in the face of this actually remaining calm and pristine as he didn't seem fazed.
Seeing her Master's expression as terrifying attacks surged towards them, Hecate also didn't move a single muscle as she completely trusted him.
As terrifying waves of essence surged towards him like an endless sea that would swallow everything, Noah did nothing but watch as in the next instant…!
SHAAA!
A golden wave flashed before him.
The surging seas of attacks…shockingly faded when they came across this golden wave of light as if they were nothing but a dream.
The only one that vibrated and buzzed when it came in contact with the golden dreamy light was the attack from the Incubus Emperor Eranelon as even this flickered and out of existence before it soon disappeared!
"...!"
The Daemon of Tyranny had seemingly still yet to make a move!
The atmosphere became utterly oppressive and silent as this laid-back being now spoke.
"If you had simply commanded your Alpha Strata Commanders to move as a test, I would have spared you and demoted you from your position due to your daughter."
…!
"But for attacking me yourself and aiming for my life…that is worthy of death."
RUUMBLE!
The scorching skies trembled as a sandy good light began to drizzle from above.
The wills of many beings quickly rose up in shock as above them all, they noticed a point of golden light had appeared as waves of golden sandy light emanated from it- this light soon coming to cover everything as it was filled with the potent essence of a Decretum of Dreams!
A domain!
Before anyone noticed, a domain was laid down through the authority of a Decretum of another dimension as it enveloped everyone in this area in less than a microsecond.
And the source of this all caused the souls of those that gazed at it to shudder at its emotionless gaze.
Glorious in stature and bright in grandeur and color, it was a dazzling Dream Automaton.
Expansive golden wings stretched out behind its back as its sharp golden arms that seemed like blades shone with a menacing light. Dazzling ecritures of DREAM swirled around it as wondrously, there was also an obsidian glow of authority that surrounded him like a bubble!
An obsidian bubble that seemed to constantly be moving as it was actually the rapid rotation of Ascendancy Halos!
The number of Halos was high as this was the first surprise Noah was shown when the Dream Automaton was raised to the stage of Ultima.
Its Aspects of Existence could enact and control 150 Ascendancy Halos.
And at this stage, it could link and have a stupendous connection with its Halos to attain something at the same level as Noah's Ascendant True Form- with its usage being unique as it linked with its Halos while they spun rapidly enough until it didn't seem like they were single Obsidian rings spinning around it….but a single constantly spinning Obsidian circle that threatened to erase anything that came near!
The emotionless eyes of this automaton shone as after laying down a shocking domain, its sharp Blade like limbs swung down methodically.
Dream Reality Splitter.
…!
SHIING!
The erected domain of Dream essence trembled as in the next instant, it seemed like the skies had been sliced in two as this occurred directly before the front line of over a Dozen Alpha Strata LEGENDS.
Whether it was Dream or reality didn't matter as the life force that was holding together these Alpha Strata Succubi and Incubi Daemons began to flicker away as none of them could withstand damage totaling above 100 Billion!
It was a dreadful nightmare to be experiencing as this enemy seemingly came out of nowhere, and it didn't give any moment for its enemies to understand as after seemingly splitting the skies in half, it disappeared.
And then an instant later…
HOONG!
Its massive figure appeared above the Throne of the grim Incubus Emperor Eranelon whose whole body was currently burning with astounding pink flames as he bellowed out his millions of years of knowledge and foundation while pulling on the Decretum of Apollyon around them!
But the right blade-like hand of the Dream Automaton shone as the image of a variation of an Assassin Emperor of Severance formed to its right, while its left bladelike hand also shone as a variation of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation appeared on its left!
No fluctuations or usage of essence could be felt as to cast them, no resources were required.
This…was another surprise once the Dream Automaton reached the Ultima Strata.
Each of its different body parts gained an effect of an EMPYRAL appendage as if it had bathed them and refined them for millions of years.
Noah's abilities were branded into its different limbs as this Dream Automaton held many surprises, with another surprise being its own specialized abilities and skills similar to Dream Reality Splitter.
It was a terrifying existence to command as its reserves were directly pulled from the Infinite Reality- this being an extension of one of its features!
And now, it descended onto a local Ultima Strata Ruler of a domain in the Apollyon Dimension who was known to be average.
Could such a being withstand the terrifying power raining down when even the domain in the surroundings was being covered by the sandy essence of Dreams?!
Towards the unfolding battle between two Ultima Strata LEGENDs, the answer was crystal clear as in the distance, Hecate could see it clearly as her eyes flashed with a profound light.
She turned away from the unfolding fight that showed Succubi and Incubi Daemons scrambling in shock and stupor, her visage coming off of the Throne of Apollyon Essence as her crimson wings tucked behind her- her body falling onto the lap of the calm Daemon of Tyranny that was watching the unfolding scenes coldly.
She placed her head on his chest as his Gravitational Reality Armament didn't push her away, her eyes closing as she spoke sonorously!
"You do not need to spare him for my sake, Master. He abandoned me to be toyed with by a Mad Orc Daemon as why should I hold the same kindness? I've already done my duty by trying to dissuade him and he didn't listen."
Her closed eyes were surging with boundless light underneath as she could feel her heart go through many changes while she spoke!
"Continue to display your hellish tyranny. Let all the Succubi and Incubi Daemons know and see your capability for destruction as at the end, you can establish the beginning of your reign here with the death of the Ruler of this Domain."
Her voice was low as she spoke, Noah taking her head from his chest and raising her to look at him as her sultry crimson eyes opened slowly.
She told him before that all she sought was to establish her own source of strength to rely on. As she continued to prove herself and her unique thought process, Noah appreciated her even more as while a shocking battle unfolded, he stroked her crimson black hair as if to console her!
It was a ridiculous scene to look at as essentially, a daughter was telling her new man that he could eradicate her father after he didn't heed her many warnings, and that her father's death would simply act as the springboard for this new Master she served to elevate himself even further.
The ideology of other beings might never be able to grasp the intricacies and morality of this as it may even feel disconcerting to observe!
And as surging pillars of pink flames rose around the body of the Incubus Emperor Eranelon, his will was able to see his precious daughter in the lap of a terrifying Emperor as she wasn't even gazing in his direction while he fought for his very life.
"OOOOOOH!"
An unbelievable mixture of emotions surged as this being fought against the Daemon of Tyranny who would make his Conquest in the first Dimensional Domain soon, even more powerful nearby Rulers catching wind of this soon enough as a cataclysmic shift was slowly budding in a small area in the lands of the Dimensional Hellion Ruler- the Hellish Pontiff Lucius!
—
In the Dream Dimension.
The strings of prompts from Noah's achievements in the Apollyon Dimension crossed through the mind of the Dream Dimensional Body as the glorious allure of Grotto Panaceas began to flow in once more as Alpha Strata Incubi and Succubi Daemons fell.
His body in the Apollyon Dimension was doing well as Noah patiently waited for the inevitable discovery of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon, and he wasn't given the privilege of waiting too long as the eyes of the Dream Dimensional Chassis opened up with a sharp light at this moment!
Outside of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
"What contraption is this? It continues to expand its domain while seemingly swallowing up the surrounding lands…"
A grating metallic voice echoed out as the image of a massive grotesque floating head was its source.
The head had many pairs of white eyes as lacerations ran across its surface that shone with a golden dreamy light, the rest of its body shrouded by a black-gold color as this was a Nightmare!
Beside it, the humanoid form of another Nightmare could be seen as half of its body had skin and Musculature as the other half had a black Skeleton that blazed with golden flames.
The face of this particular Nightmare was grim as it spoke slowly.
"It is more than that…you might not be in tune because you're such a dumb oaf, but the reason we discovered it wasn't just that it was expanding in size for us to see it- but the distance between this contraption and our domains…has also gotten shorter."
WAA!
They were gazing at a massive golden monolith in the distance that pointed its peak to the Golden skies, an air of mystery and authority behind it as in its immediate periphery, the surrounding lands could all be seen surging towards it!
"It…is genuinely swallowing not just the surface layer of Dream Domains…but everything around it for it to be able to cause the constriction of land!"
A semblance of the terrifying truth was seen by the two Nightmares who blazed with auras at the Alpha Strata, a few hundred more Nightmares behind them as they awaited their orders on how to move.
"We must go in to see what it is."
The Humanoid Nightmare spoke seriously as the Head Nightmare asked doubtfully.
"We could send word to the detestable Dream LEGENDS nearby or those who have Grotto Haven powerhouses within them, this seems serious."
The weaving of destiny flowed serenely.
A time of choices descended once again!
The Humanoid Nightmare contemplated before sending a transmission behind him, alerting a party of 10 Nightmares to head out to alert the major forces in somewhat deeper regions of the Dream Dimension while…
"We'll send word and enter at the same time. After all, this could also be a tremendous opportunity if we got our hands on a contraption that can absorb the very Dream Essence we stand atop of!"
Careful confidence could be felt as the two Nightmares came to an agreement, moving forward with a small Legion behind them as they entered the periphery of the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
A Dungeon that the moment they entered…
Welcome to the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon.
A brilliant set of golden words flashed before their eyes as their bodies buzzed with their full power, ready to erupt at any time they felt a level of danger.
But shock was coursing through the Two Alpha Nightmares as well as ecstasy as a single thought crossed their minds.
"A Relic of our Age of Quintessence?!"
Their hearts shuddered as they felt like they had stumbled onto something unbelievable and grand, proceeding forward even faster as they had high expectations!
Yet another set of words appeared before them as they shone with the same gorgeous gold.
Obtain Loot or Become Loot, that is the question.
A simple pondering or musing.
And something that all those who stepped into the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon would face!
Obtain Loot or Become Loot, that is the question.
A Prompt that would rise for anyone entering the Domain of the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon!
In the case of the Nightmares, their eyes only became emboldened as they flew towards the entrance of the enormous golden monolith that pointed to the hazy gold skies, but…
"Huh?"
Their senses grasped onto an anomaly as in the middle of the gateway leading onto the first floor of the Dungeon, the REIFIED form of a curvaceous woman wrapped in a fiery gold robe could be seen as her eyes shone like the sun.
With an expression of excitement, she beckoned towards the 2 Alpha Strata Nightmares and the small Legion of Beta Strata Nightmares behind them nuclear balls of flames already began to bloom at her fingertips!
The Saintess of Fiery Damnation greeted the first entrants of the Quintessential Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon as the Dungeon Boss of this domain was just too unfair, releasing an attack before the enemies that had dived in could even fully step onto the first floor!
—
Outside of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon Monolith.
The small party of Beta Strata Nightmares that were given the command to bring information back about what they saw to a nearby cluster of powerful Nightmares and Dream LEGENDS were nearly out of the periphery and about to disappear into the sandy waves of golden essence when…
SHAA!
An existence wielding a sickle and moving like a beam of light instantly surged and linked between each of their bodies, severing their Aspects of Existence before they could even know what was happening as their massive grotesque bodies slumped down soon after!
A moment later, the figure of one of Noah's Clones appeared as he looked at the bodies of these Nightmares, this Clone beginning to change as he morphed into one of these Nightmares who had a Humanoid visage but a head that had no eyes and seemed forged from crystals.
Perfectly mimicking this Nightmare, Noah delved into its memories and the memories of others as nearby Domains of the periphery of the Dream Dimension were painted in his mind, his eyes shining with ingenuity as he moved!
He could have allowed this party of Nightmare LEGENDS to get the word out as they were told as this would bring more existences for Noah to attain Loot from, or even could kill them and stop them entirely.
Noah chose a different route as he eradicated them and took their place…in order to control the information that would spread out in this region.
The actions he was taking of swallowing the lands of a Dimension were grand as he knew sooner or later…those with the power of Dimensional Hellion Rulers- beings who could influence Absolute Dream Authority…even they would step into the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon!
This was something he couldn't control, but he could control the pace of the information and who received it for as long as he could- keeping a steady stream of enemies he could handle before the truly maddening existences entered the fray.
In the form of a Nightmare, he moved to pull on the strings of powerful domains while the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon swallowed the first Hunters that stepped foot into it!
—
The 9 Dimensions were known as the Anchors that held down the Barren Lands, or more commonly known- the Desolate Mausoleum that referred to the Infinite Realities!
For them to be Anchors, they naturally had a job.
For a job to be carried out, a Will had to be present.
Whether something connected to the Dimension itself…or an existence placed in that position to keep it that way!
At this moment in time, in the innermost depths of the Dream Dimension.
The Decretum of Dreams was thick in the surroundings as hues of sandy gold covered everything, with wisps of Absolute Dream Authority surging in the surroundings as a figure was masked within this terrifying cluster of essences!
His figure was utterly massive as very little could be seen of him within the surging essences, the only thing that flashed every now and then being the allure of an uncountable number of Realities.
It signified his status as an existence that at the lowest was at the Grotto Haven Realm as he could very well be leagues above this.
Yet at this moment, the luminous eyes of this being opened as they shone like golden suns, these eyes locking onto the surroundings as if they were reading the Essence moving around him!
And…it was truly so as streams of Absolute Dream Authority surged out from above and sunk into his visage.
Thereafter…an ancient voice arose as it very clearly distinguished itself to have the vicissitude of a being that had lived across multiple Ages.
"Something is…."
This ancient voice was seemingly getting information from the Absolute Dream Authority flowing into him as he seemed to actually be having a difficulty interpreting them, but it wasn't due to power as there were many other factors in play.
After some time, this being was able to decipher and understand the full message.
"Something is encroaching upon the authority of the Dimension?!"
WAA!
Such a shocking message flowed down as the surging essences in the surroundings turned chaotic.
Yet it wasn't done as one more stream of the Essence of Absolute Dream Authority sank into his unseen visage.
It took an even longer time for this to be deciphered but in time, this existence was able to get it as his luminous eyes released Seas of blinding golden light.
"Dimensional Inimicus…it is the Dimensional Inimicus!"
…!
A burst of shock and anger rose in the eyes of this massive being as these two words floated in his mind!
Dimensional Inimicus!
The word Inimicus has a relation to hostility or enemy.
Quite frankly, it was another way of saying Enemy of the Dimension.
Something had been termed the Enemy of a Dimension as such a thing stood directly opposite to the aims of a Dimension- aims that Dimensional Rulers had to make sure were flowing smoothly!
And one such being had received such information as even then…this was all he got.
Where was this enemy?
What exactly were they doing?
None of this information flowed into him!
This was because it was much harder for the role of the Dimensions to be carried out as communicating with them had become nigh impossible after the actions of a certain being!
When there was any sort of communication with the will of a Dimension after the Olden Era ended, it meant the matter was simply of that high importance.
Those receiving the connection and words of the Dimensions themselves…were known as Dimensional Rulers.
Dimensional Rulers were set in place to carry out the Will of their Dimension!
Dimensional Hellion Rulers ignored this glorious purpose as they encroached their authority onto other Dimensions for nothing other than the seeking of power and authority- with the Apollyon Dimension being one of the Dimensions that had entirely fallen under the ruling of Dimensional Hellion Rulers who also stretched themselves to other Dimensions.
They were able to move more freely and became even bolder after the grand changes that caused the propagation of Realities and the unstable expansion of Dimensions!
The balance between the 9 Anchors and the Desolate Mausoleum was disrupted.
The restrictions that had to be in place in order for the Dimensions to carry out their tasks loosened.
Some beings were able to slip through the gaps of Dimensional Walls that they couldn't cross before as Dimensional Existences appeared in the vast Realities, and those under the banner of the Empyral Deceiver stretched themselves further into the Dimensions.
Chaos was unfolding as it was up to the Dimensional Rulers to set things back on the right path.
They and their Lineage…they would carry the task entrusted to them over generations!
Even if some of their Lineage fell along the way.
Such a thought made this massive being contemplative as he thought about the most recent being to fall from their Lineage.
"Eowyn…"
The image of a bright girl rose up in his mind.
Yet soon after, this image was changed to reflect the same girl bound by countless chains of Dream, Destiny, Fortune, Karma, and Fate among a few!
The future was unpredictable and ever-changing.
One would never know when they would lose everything they have even if they believed they were at the top of it all.
So when he received such a revaluation from the Dream Dimension itself, he would do his utmost to act!
"Here me."
HOOONG!
Absolute Dream Authority seethed along with the Decretum of Dreams as the voice of this Dimensional Ruler emanated out to those he reigned over.
An Enemy of their Dimension had appeared.
They had to track them down with everything they had and eradicate them before they encroached on the authority of the Dream Dimension any further!
—
In the Dimensional Holy Land.
Noah was gazing over the prompts that continued to come from the works of his Clones across Dimensions.
+150,000 Alpha Blood Pearls have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+150 Empyral Physique Refining Pearls obtained.
+150,000 Ionized Soul Drops have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+150 Ionized Soul Seas have been obtained.
+30 Reality Panaceas have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+30 Grotto Panaceas have been obtained.
300 Kainos Dimensional Resource points have been obtained.
The effects of Absolute Looter are applied.
You have attained 30 Shards of Profundity that contain the musings of the Decretum of Apollyon. 50 Shards shall grant a preliminary understanding of the Decretum of Apollyon.
You have attained the TABOO Edicts of Daemon of Lust, Long Emperor, Incubus Emperor….
The Quasi-TABOO….
A variety of prompts came down as these were only from the Alpha Strata LEGENDS that Nkah reaped the lives of, with there being even more prompts that could fill up the pages of the Beta Strata LEGENDS that included False Grotto Nacres and Liquified Soul Seas that Noah simply breezed through!
He was taking in all of this loot while planning ahead on how to best utilize it when…
HOONG!
His ethereal crown of authority surged with boundless light above his illusory backbone of a throne that represented his candidacy as the Quintessential Kainos Emperor.
An Impossible Achievement!
You have been labeled as the Dimensional Inimicus by the Abeyant Will of the Dream Dimension!
...!
The backbone of his throne shone resplendently as many more points were added to it, his Tri-Pupiled eyes letting out rays of shocking light as the prompts continued!
Due to the title of Dimensional Inimicus, your rate of understanding the Natural Laws of Reality and Decretum of Dimensions has drastically increased.
Your Maximum Reserves of the Essence of Reality are elevated by an additional 50 Million.
"..."
Untold wonders of essence draped down over Noah's massive Preponderant Irminsul form as he continued to experience glorious changes.
But his Will was moving around actively as he repeated the word he just heard.
"Dimensional Inimicus!"
Enemy of a Dimension! He had actually been marked as an enemy of the Dream Dimension just hours after he began absorbing it, such a thing bringing up many wonders and questions!
This was because at this same exact time, Noah had his massive Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality moving around the Boundary Between Realities as it was assimilating Emerging and Prime Realities at this very moment.
And he had assimilated even more Realities through his Infinite Dreams as until now...he was never labeled as the enemy of Reality.
Yet the moment he touched Dimensions...
I did not think it would progress to this.
WAA!
Lavalliere's voice echoed out as Noah could sense a tone of somberness in her words.
It means a coordinated effort will soon start by the Dimensional Rulers of the Dream Dimension. With their understanding of the Decretum of Dreams, they may be able to locate you within a matter of days if not even less.
...!
Dimensional Rulers actively sought for him who was now an Enemy of Dimensions!
When Noah thought of this and Lavalliere's words, he couldn't help but smile.
"A lot can change in a period of a few days..."
WAA!
His will surged with power as he gazed at the coming Loot that would change many things as well as the scenes across Dimensions and Realities that he was
stretching his influence and power in.
He was not fearful even when something like this happened.
In fact, he became even surer that the path he want forging for himself was correct!
