Yet another failure in this aspect of his tasks as Noah truly could not make any headway into exceeding absolute limits- everything telling him his current foundation that was distinguished across the Ages was more than enough as he should just forge forward!
But…
'Could OPPENHEIMER really not also be a Triple Limit Breaker? I'm sure there are Single and Dual Limit Breakers in this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum alone…much less to say those who didn't come from the mean Reality.
…!
He pondered whether others with astounding foundations could have also reached this stage as for him…it meant it wasn't enough!
This was because they had lived for Millions and billions of years to get to their extreme foundations while he….he had only started for over a year.
He still had time to explore and make sure that his foundation…would be something that those in the Ages past and those in the Ages to come could not replicate!
But this still didn't prevent him from becoming slightly frustrated as just when the two Reality Ursidae LEGENDs began to roar out with power after achieving Reality in the gradually freezing seas above the Chains of Reality, a glimmering laser of stellar Dimensional light shot out and blasted one of them apart while the other…became suspended as his Reality Passages dimmed when a Massive Infinite Reality Passage appeared above the cold seas.
One Reality was shattered as it turned into a Randomized Loot Crate, the other taking the experiment to have their Reality Assimilated and pulled out through the Infinite Reality as Noah's Haki oppressively wrapped around this being and caused a horrific phenomenon!
With his vibrant Reality Passages dimmed, the flow of essence actually reversed as Noah paid 2 million Units of the Essence of Reality to bring about this shocking result.
Essence reversed as instead of washing down vibrant waves of power, this being own Reality Passages began to tug and pull on his Origin as above Noah, a massive Infinite Reality Passage swirled with a terrifying pull!
And like a gory scene of a Skeleton being pulled out from the muscles and organs of the body, the chest of the Reality Ursidae split apart as a glimmering illusory Reality began to be pulled out
…!
Pain and disbelief filled the genius who had just stepped into the Realm of Reality as his eyes dimmed soon after, his very forged Origin flowing from his body and through his dimming Passages as it was then transferred into Noah's massive Infinite Reality Passage.
And just like essence nourishing Noah, it turned into a massive cluster of stellar light that glowed from his passages to enter into his very body!
HUUM!
The genuine Primogenial reality of another existence suffused into him as it should have raised his own Strata even by a little...but nothing occurred as the Essence once more converted into wisps of golden rivers that sank into the gaps of his Cosmos and body- waiting to be used when he broke through.
"..."
[+5 Primogenial Blood Pearls have been obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied...[+500 Physique Refining Pearls obtained.]
[+5 Liquified Soul Dews have been obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied...[+500 Liquified Soul Seas have been obtained.]
[+50,000,000 Trillion Skill Points obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…[+5,000 Reality Resource Points obtained.]
The effects of Absolute Looter are applied.
...You have already attained the Edicts of the slain enemy.
...You have already attained The Racial Bloodline of the Reality Ursidae.
The other Ursidae had been turned into a radiant Purple Tier Randomized Loot Crate that shone with an even brighter shade of gold than the Crate that came from the failed Reality Abyssal Undead Beast as the prompts apart from Noah gaining False Grotto Nacres came, with the rest of the Loot even being reduced by half as Noah had pulled out the Reality of his target that had resonated with the Soul and Body for the purposes of Reality Assimilation.
He faced the same result as after butchering newly advanced LEGENDS freely for his own purposes, he wanted to wrap everything up and continue with the exploration and mysteries of this unique Sanctum he was in- with the Golden barrier his form of a Destiny Stone was floating above thinning and nearly disappearing at this moment to reveal the allure of multicolored Loot that should be real Grotto Nacres!
SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!...
Multiple Mana strings snapped as Noah freed all his current captives, the visage of Andur, an Infinite Willow Tree, and another Reality Ursidae...multiple genius Pure-Blooded Primordials that had grand destinies and prospects all appeared, Noah nonchalantly voicing towards them with the same level of coldness.
"Break through to Reality and stand a chance to live."
...!
Despairing words as while they were still under Noah's Ascendant Multilayered Possession, the prospect of escaping was sensed for them as they could only fight!
ROAAR!
The bodies of the enlarged beings glittered with light as they each did what they could to fight for their lives, Noah's focus going into the golden-domed barrier that finally shattered after he infused waves of Dimensional Essence into it, revealing the wonders within as instead of luminous joy when Noah saw it...
...!
His will buzzed with carefulness.
Enormous multicolored crystalline stellites with rounded bottoms and pointed crystalline edges that rose like rivers of Reality could be seen, but they were situated in such a manner as they read into an ecriture!
An ecriture...that meant WELCOME!
WAA!
It was a simple word that glowed gold due to what materials were used to make it, but immense coldness and brutality could be felt from it as anyone who came across it would feel anything but what the word intended.
Noah's destiny began to buzz with activity.
His Fate, Fortune, and Karma also began to wake as he felt the tides changing- a sense of danger that someone like him should not feel in a place like this beginning to rise when his will stared at the ecriture of WELCOME outlined by incandescent Grotto Nacres!
It was a terrifying finding as it meant these fantastical loots that even LEGENDS fought for...were arranged neatly and then surrounded by a dome through the will of another.
It meant...this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum was actually not Unexplored as there should lie a Will or multiple Wills within, the cold and dreary seas around Noah seeming all the more suffocating at this truth!
"Lavalliere?"
...It is a naturally formed Grotto Sanctum by all means, with it being under heavy restrictive laws that should have been made possible with the influence of the Niflheim Dimension. But it seems there is something more at work here as you can only find out if you keep on going forward. Buy one thing remains the same, since the formation of this Grotto Sanctum, the obstruction of this from the Reality Realm and above from entering has remained the same. So all beings who entered through here…had to have been in the Firmaments of Ascendancy.
WAA!
Lavalliere's words rang out in Noah's mind as his Destiny Stone Form adopted a devilish smile even as he felt the sense of danger!
"So long as this remains to be true…let's see who is bold enough to be leaving behind Grotto Nacres as enticement!"
…!
In the floating landmass surrounded by glacial waves of deathly sea water.
Enormous multicolored crystalline stellites with rounded bottoms and pointed crystalline edges that rose like rivers of Reality were grasped into Noah's hands, information about them entering his mind as these were the true and genuine Grotto Nacres!
False Grotto Nacres that Noah could attain as loot could only strengthen two Aspects of Existence. But the genuine Grotto Nacres were much different.
Grotto Nacre:: An amalgamation of Reality altering essence that is naturally formed from the densest Domains of Grotto Sanctums over time. It can refine all of one's Aspects of Existence beginning at the Primogenial stage at the same time while granting a slight increase to the Affinity to the Natural Laws of Reality, and also a strengthening effect to one's Reality Passages.
…!
Stupendous treasures that LEGENDS sought as they cultivated everything of their Strata simultaneously while increasing their Affinity to the Natural Laws of Reality.
Even more, they could achieve a strengthening effect on their Reality Passages as this was something sought after by the masses of geniuses!
This was different for Noah as his Infinite Reality Passages were already massive and unique, and they were also about to undergo a change as the Third Infinite Dream finished and the Infinite Reality completed its change to a Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality.
Noah was lost in his own thoughts as he wondered about the identity of those leaving behind the WELCOME while playing with the Grotto Nacre with his will, but an explosive storm of Essence erupted before him as Andur and the others released their foundations to achieve Reality!
The Infinite Willow Tree and Reality Ursidae got ready to attack Noah while Andur…he actually reigned in his aura as the majestic form of a Dragon Phoenix with layers of flaming tails caused the swathes of the freezing glaciers in the surrounding seas to melt.
He gazed towards Noah with calmness and solemnity as this genius with multiple Runic ecritures was also proficient in Destiny, and he saw that even after becoming a LEGEND…the darkness around his destiny didn't change as he had truly kicked a dangerous snake this time around!
Even after forming a Reality, this being that had actually possessed him already didn't even seem approachable in terms of power.
"..."
So he didn't attack while the other two that had just formed their Realities moved against the vibrant form of the golden Destiny Stone, his voice actually resonating out to say words it never thought it would say in its lifetime.
"Spare me."
…!
HUUUM!
The other two geniuses who were moving with restored pride and fervor trembled in shock at hearing such words from the strongest of them- especially a prideful existence from a distinguished Lineage!
"Andur, what are you doing?! We have achieved Reality while he is just at the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy still! He can't withstand attacks from three LEGENDS all at once!"
The words of the Reality Ursidae echoed out as his solidified crown shone with majesty, but Andur still contained his power as he still didn't make a move.
The more he stared at the vast Destiny Stone before them that twirled with Grotto Nacres as if they were nothing, the more his destiny told him how abysmal things were as for the sake of survival, he forcefully destroyed his pride and…
…!
The majestic form of the Dragon Phoenix actually bowed its head.
HUUM!
"Please. Spare my life."
A scene that the Infinite Willow Tree and Reality Ursidae couldn't fathom occurred as a being with a solidified crown and multiple ecritures actually bowed himself to another.
Why didn't he even try when it was the three of them against a single being?!
The majesty of the Reality Ursidae rose crazily as his illusory Reality shone with his bellow.
"Why the fu-"
BZZZT!
A deadly ray of stellar multicolored light filled with the oppressive might of a Dimension shot out as it smashed into the Reality Ursidae before chaining onto the Infinite Willow Tree as well.
…!
The souls and wills of these existences trembled as when they gazed at their bodies, they found their Innate Primogenial Defense Barriers that should have exceeded 5 Million in Defense Values utterly shredded as their bodies were breaking apart to follow them soon after.
'So…that was why he bowed his head…'
This was the last thought in the mind of the unwilling Reality Ursidae as his will faded!
Amidst this shocking progression of events, Andur kept his head down as he ignored every will of pride and arrogance ingrained from the Main Reality- bowing even further down until the glittering scales on his chest touched the cold seafloor.
His millions of years of Existence were telling him to fight!
His very Aspects of Existence and authority as a Kainos Emperor Candidate were trembling as they couldn't accept an Emperor bowing his head, the ecritures surrounding his crown trembling!
Yet his head did not rise up as he could see that his destiny did not turn entirely dark.
"Hmm."
He heard the mesmerizing voice of the being without a crown above his head as he could sense the life forces of two newly Risen LEGENDS were no more!
"I was going to kill you."
…!
Such dreadful words echoed out as the vibrant Destiny Stone shone with light and faded, the radiant devilish handsome existence adorned in Obsidian loose pants and shirt appearing as a single golden wing flapped behind him.
His visage was mesmerizing and would be the downfall of many women as he floated towards the bowing Dragon Phoenix, his dark hair glowing in the cold seas as he appeared right in front of the majestic draconic head that had purple gold rising horns swirling with the Essence of Reality!
Andur stayed silent while bowing as he felt like a crucial moment had come that would decide everything.
The being in front of him had unfused with his Ascendancy Halos as if Andur made a move now, he might just be able to take him by surprise!
But before this thought rose, Andur saw his destiny entirely turn black as an instant later his body flashed, his Ascendancy Halos parting away from his body.
The Illusory Reality Passages above him faded as he took away all his forms of protection, an action that went against every cell in his body as he spoke once more!
"Please."
…!
It was an unfathomable action, but Noah nodded towards this astounding Candidate Emperor of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage of the Main Reality as he spoke out simply!
"Offer your Blood."
…!
A devilishly handsome figure of Noah's clone floated above a bowing majestic Dragon Phoenix as the scene would shock any knowledgeable geniuses from the Main Reality!
Noah's eyes shone with tyranny as he spoke, the claws of Andur rising silently as they tore open the chest of this magnificent Dragon Phoenix and caused radiant stellar crimson gold True Blood to flow out without so much as a delay.
Hematopoietic Progenitor was activated as all this blood surged into Noah's body, a prompt appearing soon after.
The Racial Bloodline of the Dragon Phoenix has been attained.
Noah's body shone with incandescent radiance as he nodded, his next words being even more domineering!
"Offer your Fealty."
…!
The heart of a genius Emperor from the Main Reality trembled as never in a million years would he have foreseen doing this in order to keep his life after entering the Grotto Sanctum!
The Essence of the Tyrannical Emperor roared out and wrapped around this majestic Dragon as the identity of this being appeared within Andur's mind.
His darkened destiny was gradually brightening up as this Scion of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage sighed in his heart, knowing this action would forever cut him off at the possibility of the seat of the True Emperor as while suppressing his pride with every part of his will, he bound himself!
"I pledge Fealty..."
The solidified crown above Andur shone and flashed as the ecritures above it shockingly began to crumble!
"...to the Tyrannical Emperor."
CRACK!
The ecritures floating above his solidified crown fractured in a shocking manner as his heart felt like it was being pierced by millions of stellar needles, Andur binding himself to another being as at the same time...he was shocked to find that began to feel a sense of...
'Freedom?'
...!
The heart of this genius resigned itself as compared to the other beings that had perished in Noah's hands, he could be considered smart to do what he did as at this moment, it allowed his life to be saved.
But this wasn't all.
A change was happening with his authority as just when he felt like even his solidified crown would shatter, immense authority washed down from the being he had pledged Fealty to as golden incandescence began to suffuse over his crown!
From the shattered remains of ecritures, new ones actually began to form as with disbelief, Andur's will watched as the letters VAS formed above his crown with splendor.
This wasn't all as soon after, the effects of Oath to Emperor kicked in as Andur shockingly felt his Primogenial Soul...begin to rise up powerfully in strength!
The Primogenial Soul of a being at the stage of Reality...was being strengthened by an existence that had yet to form his Reality as Andur finally understood just why this unfathomable being could erase genius LEGENDS with relative ease.
His bowed head raised for the first time in a while to gaze upon the one he had pledged Fealty to as his eyes nearly dimmed.
Above the devilishly handsome visage of this Tyrant, Andur could see a gloriously multicolored solidified crown that had the shocking ecritures of ETHEREAL DIME EMPEROR!
Ecritures that caused the mind of this being to buzz- and they were the ecritures that had come by through Noah's very hard effort of wiping out the few LEGENDS with Solidified Crowns in the past few minutes.
He used to have ETHEREAL D EMPEROR after he became bound to Dimensional Essence and set himself on an unshakable path, a path that showed his crown was bound to have Ethereal Dimensional Emperor at its helm as his authority shone with boundless glory.
Seeing the shocking visage of this being and the shockingly surging strength of his Primogenial Soul, Andur let go of everything as he called out with difficulty!
,m "...S-Sire."
A term that his parents would be shocked to hear him say that the Elders of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage would find it treasonous and preposterous!
Yet he couldn't help but say it as this existence let go of his qualifications to be a True Emperor and learned that the term genius truly shouldn't be applied to many of the existences within this Grotto Sanctum.
"Mmm."
Noah gave a light smile to the Dragon Phoenix as he patted its head, his figure going forward to stand between the golden purple horns of the draconic head of this genius as he gazed at the new mount he had gotten.
Yes.
A Scion of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage could only serve to be his mount as he appreciated the Dragon Phoenix whose scales glimmered purple and gold, its wings feathered and glorious stretching from its back with the same vibrant colors as flames even blazed around them.
Three flaming tails stretched out behind it as they released powerful waves of heat that even melted the surrounding coldness!
A LEGEND Dragon Phoenix that had just forged its Primogenial Strata...would serve as his mount!
Noah's feet stable stood above the draconic head of this majestic creature as he looked around the barren land he had taken the treasures of and destroyed the Abyssal Undead Beasts, multiple chains rising from this landmass that went upwards endlessly as the sea further ahead was solidifying into pure glacial ice- making ascension upwards a near impossibility for many.
The gains of this floating landmass were many as even more recently, Noah attained two more glimmering Purple Tier Randomized Loot Crates that stemmed from the killed Infinite Willow Tree and Reality Ursidae that he put away to open later.
When he gazed at the snaking Chains of Reality leading to an unknown location, Noah wanted to begin heading upwards right away...but his destiny was telling him that for even more glory, there was another direction he needed to head to.
"Dictum Emperor needs to be TABOO soon to make things even clearer..."
He spoke out simply as the Dragon Phoenix below him trembled while speaking out.
"Where shall we go, Sire?"
It sought for direction as this genius entirely erased its pride when it continued to feel its Primogenial Soul still strengthening until it couldn't anymore because it had vastly exceeded his Body and Origin!
Whatever repercussions his Fealty would have towards his Lineage and the larger picture didn't matter now as Andur's Will began to undergo reformation to understand this new being he had bound himself to.
Noah turned away from the Chains of Reality snaking upwards endlessly as he turned right and left, seeing a Chain of Reality in each direction that led to other floating landmasses in this region as he waved his hands to pull out a golden book that shone with Destiny.
Lines began to appear on it as Noah adopted a thoughtful look before keeping his head to the left side, going forward and sitting in front of the horn on the right side of the head of the Dragon Phoenix below him as he treated this area like it was his throne- his hand patting the scales of this Vassal as dense Dream Essence and the Essence of Reality surged from him to wrap around its whole body!
"Let's go."
Noah chose the direction as his Dragon Phoenix flapped its flaming wings, its four golden purple scaled limbs cracking apart the frozen lands below it as it shot to the left of the barren island filled with coldness, the speed being no less than Noah's own as Andur was feeling great shock while being bolstered by vibrant Dream Essence!
Its golden purple claws stepped on the Chains of Reality as it shone with dazzling light, the restrictions loosening slightly as a new mount and its Master began moving across it towards an unknown location.
It was a scene that anyone coming across would question as they might not even trust their own vision!
In a different region of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.
The fantastical scene of a mesmerizing young woman adorned in a silver dress could be seen, one of her fair hands gripping tightly onto the cylindrical end of a weapon that only became larger and larger towards the opposite end that was the form of a crystalline silver mirror like hammer!
This being was adorned with a crown that had the words SACRALIZED EM on it, grasping the massive hammer that was many times her size as it even seemed unnatural.
It caused the surrounding space to buzz as even though the cold seas were extremely stable with the space of this Grotto Sanctum being made extremely stable, it still crackled and buzzed as she swung this hammer effortlessly downwards- bringing with it terrifying swirls of Dimensional Essence!
The poor target of this strike was a badly malformed Abyssal Undead Anaconda who seemed to have already formed its Reality, its body covering nearly a fourth of the barren and cold landmass as much of its bones were currently broken or turned to dust.
BANG!
The hammer thundered on this Abyssal Undead Anaconda once more as its serpentine draconic head began to cave in, this Undead at the level of a LEGEND screaming out unfairness as it felt its very Dimensional Bloodline be oppressed by this young woman before it.
BANG!
As she swung the Mirror Hammer effortlessly with her gaze calm, the blue flames on the sockets of the Abyssal Undead Beast turned dim with unwillingness as its Origin broke apart!
'Why is a Dimensional Royalty like you here bullying little old me? Ah!'
A melancholic thought passed through its mind as it was the last thing, the ravaging Mirror Essence that had permeated the surroundings sinking into and shattering its origin into countless Mirror Shards at this moment.
"..."
The Undead Reality of the Anaconda shattered and faded as the culprit to do all this- the Adjudicator Katelyn, floated across the cold waters calmly as the Mirror hammer faded away.
She came to float above the pulverized Abyssal Undead Beast as she patted its shattered skull, her expression showing complex emotions as she sighed and moved forward to the dome shaped golden barrier at the center of this landmass that swirled with a treasured light of destiny.
Her fair finger landed on this tough barrier for a few seconds as she felt its indestructible defense, but she uniquely didn't start infusing the barrier with essence or attack it as instead- an illusory authority of a black Halo flashed while she tapped onto the golden dome once!
BZZZT!
In the next instant, a unique scene manifested as a thin silver line appeared above the golden dome, this line showing a reflection of the dome barrier as it shockingly recreated the whole nearby area to be reflecting onto itself!
Katelyn's eyes flashed with a terrifying silver light as her hands reached into the crystalline silver mirror like reflection of the golden dome, her eyes lighting up as she pulled out a cluster of glimmering Grotto Nacres from it.
Nacres…that were clustered into the ecriture of WELCOME that when Katelyn saw, her gaze became even sharper.
CRACK!
The Mirror line she had drawn faded as the reflection of the golden dome faded- but the treasures within were already gone as a silver gateway appeared beside Katelyn where all the Grotto Nacres disappeared into!
It was a wondrous and unique power, and the existence to wield it was even more unique.
She gazed around the barren land around her thoughtfully as the words WELCOME flashed over her eyes that soon turned up to see the Chains of Reality leading to unknown areas forward, about to continue her ascension when all of a sudden…
"Oh?"
She couldn't help but speak out as she felt terrifying malice and Essence rising from behind her- from the Chain of Reality that should be leading all the way down to the first region of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum!
SHAA!
With valor and power, two terrifying auras rose up from the Chain of Reality as the oppressive might of two LEGENDS appeared.
They flashed with utter wildness and malice as at the very forefront, the figure of Xian could be seen as his whole surroundings were bathed by storms of Aether.
Beside him was a brown skinned young man with an air of poisonous allure, two sickles with a deathly green light buzzing in his hands as his eyes released a green hue!
"Haha!"
Xian let out a wild laugh as his gaze landed on Katelyn, the concentration of Aether around him getting even denser as he walked forward fearlessly.
"You haven't forgotten me yet, right? I couldn't freely make moves back then with Brightborn there, but you…you're really a fruit that I truly cannot pass up."
BZZZT!
His words were powerful as 30 dazzling Ascendancy Halos erupted and were ready to merge into him, the other monstrous genius from the Olden Times beside him doing the same as he released a horrific verdant light when he spoke.
"You really weren't lying Xian! Why don't I take first dibs with her? I'm sure you can feel how dangerous this will be."
…!
Yes!
These two existences appeared here with their own aims, and they affirmed their target as well as the fact that their destinies told them it would be an extremely difficult task to achieve their goal!
"I might have had to run away with nothing if I came alone." Xian nodded his head as his Will tried to discern destiny and Karma.
He had lived in the Olden Era as he knew how important understanding destiny was, and he wouldn't normally take risks that showed the level of danger that he was feeling right now when facing this calm young woman before him.
"But if she was easy to take down, then she wouldn't be a Dimensional Royalty. Let's not tarry too long…make your move, Dion!"
WAA!
His lips curved in a devilish smile as he spoke, his figure shooting to the left while Dion shot to the right, circling Adjudicator Katelyn from different directions as they prepared for a tough battle!
Two monstrous existences from the Olden Era circled a single young woman after just a few words, their goals diabolical as they planned to forcefully impose themselves on this existence to attain something special!
Even though their destinies told them what they wanted to do would be extremely dangerous, they still made a move as for others- attaining a Dimensional Physique was the difference between life and death.
There were too many Candidate Emperors that rose within an Era.
How could one become special among the masses? How could they distinguish themselves from geniuses who held Mythical Natural Born Physiques?
Throughout recorded history, those who had managed to pull power from one of the 9 Dimensions had managed to distinguish themselves as in the case of Xian and Dion, they had to do this!
Their solidified crowns shone with a menacing light as Reality Passages that neared 100 for each of them erupted above, their eyes showing terrifying gazes when they looked at the existence before them as whatever they had to do...they would make sure to not let her swim past their grasp.
They weren't normal Beginner LEGENDS as their defenses and Damage Values were already well over double the 5 Million Base, their foundation being too monstrous as they had been preparing since the Olden Era!
Yet even these beings with such power moved with seriousness against a single Ninth Firmament Dimensional Royalty.
Two beings looked at her from different directions, yet their gazes were exactly the same.
She hated that type of gaze.
It was a gaze that she had seen all the time while she was growing up- where her father was the only man around her who didn't look at her in such a way!
The LEGENDS of the Royal Humans that were supposed to look at her as a junior for them to protect looked at her this way.
The delegation of any beings from the Main Reality that passed through the Domains of the Royal Humans and saw her…looked at her in this manner!
A gaze…as if she was an object for them to possess.
As if she was something for them to use to get something…and the only reason they couldn't do it was because of the fear towards her father or her own power!
These types of gazes were also part of the reason she never went to the Main Reality even when a LEGEND exceeding the Alpha Strata had let his will to take her as a disciple be known.
"I really hate it."
BZZZT!
She uttered these words with coldness as many memories from the past were pulled up, her body blaring with astounding light as 30 bright Ascendancy Halos flashed and got ready to fuse with her!
Yet at this juncture...
SHAA!
A fourth aura with astounding uniqueness and authority appeared.
It wasn't coming from the Chain of Reality leading below- but from the Chain of Reality on the east of the floating landmass that should have been leading straight across to another floating landmass!
With buzzing authority and releasing a type of essence others couldn't ignore, the eyes of the two attackers and Kayelyn who were all about to fuse with their Halos turned their eyes to ass the outline of the new entrant.
Surrounded by a sandy golden light that caused the Chain of Reality to vibrate, the massive figure of a regal Dragon Phoenix with purple gold scales and three flaming tails appeared.
He held a vibrant crown with the words VAS shining resplendently, and the eyes of the three existences on this landmass constricted when they observed closely to see that a humanoid figure was situated grandly atop this regal Dragon Phoenix, using its rising glorious horns as a throne for himself as he was currently gazing at everything curiously, his eyes lighting up when he saw the visage of Katelyn!
"..."
In turn, Xian and Dion's gazes turned somber.
This was because they felt the vibrant waves of a LEGEND from this Dragon Phoenix as its aura was near theirs...and yet a being was sitting atop it as if it were a mere mount!
A being...still in the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy.
The Dragon Phoenix had a solidified crown and yet...this existence didn't show anything above his head as he had to have been masking his authority.
But his entrance here would make things complicated as their destinies showed that a battle with their target alone would already be dangerous enough- not to mention an unknown existence who had managed to subjugate a genius Dragon Phoenix!
Granted, Xian might actually be able to remember the figure of Noah had he bothered to look around the Purple Endeavor that brought them here, but he had paid little attention to anyone else apart from Katelyn as even he didn't recognize Noah's visage at this moment.
With the eyes of three beings on him, Noah rose from his makeshift throne on top of Andur as he eyed Xian and Dion coldly.
"Now, what would you two be doing surrounding Adjudicator Katelyn like this?"
HUUUM!
His words reverberated with authority as he didn't seem to put the visage of the two LEGENDS in his eyes.
He appeared like a hero in the last minute to save a damsel in distress as his eyes lit up with power...before they gradually dimmed in the next second as destiny told him something else!
'Hmm?'
His gaze turned from the powerful LEGENDS surrounding Katelyn as they locked onto her, actually seeing this being raising her brows towards him as she didn't at all seem like someone who was worried after being surrounded by powerful existences.
He could instead feel reigned coldness and anger from her as this existence turned her eyes from him and stared at those who chose to attack her, her fair hand raising up as she...snapped her finger.
...!
And then everything went to hell.
Noah's will buzzed as the scene and situation became clear, sighing in his heart as he affirmed he would not be able to show off or save any damsel in distress today.
The being that two Olden LEGENDS had surrounded was not a meek girl they could terrorize or put under their Will.
She was a monstrous Dimensional Royalty that they had now angered, and her wrath would not be sated until her enemies were extinguished!
'Well, I could at least understand a semblance of her power then...'
Noah sat back on the vibrant head of the Dragon Phoenix as he saw the shocking scene unfolding before his eyes the moment that Katelyn snapped her fingers.
Her surroundings became hectic as multiple miniature silver doorways flashed into existence...from different parts of her own body.
Multiple miniature Mirror Gateways that seemed anchored to her very skin bloomed where in the next second…the terrifying auras of Mirror Beast LEGENDS enlarged and stepped out while roaring with wrath- sensing the anger of their Master!
How was the stage of Reality distinguished?
How could one grasp the level of power that could truly be reached at this level and it was comparable against Supreme geniuses who had yet to break into it?
Noah had already learned from Lavalliere that the Stage of Reality was treated as the Realm for one to truly establish their foundation, with one's Reality Passages and unique items like Grotto Nacres that could simultaneously cultivate all Aspects of Existence and expand one's Reality Passages playing a role to nourish one's body until…Empyral Bones, Musculature, and Organs began to form!
Constantly nourishing every part of your body until something as abstruse as Empyral was formed in your body parts.
On an Empyral Bone, Musculature, or Organ- one could brand abilities or concepts onto them and unleash reified abilities with a mere thought and no consequence of energy consumption!
Even Noah after breaking all of the Limits….had gained the qualifications to forge the Mythical Paragon's Empyral Foundation.
Nourishment.
This was the crucial thing as newly risen LEGENDS had to depend on the foundation they established in the Firmaments of Ascendancy to show off their power in the early stages of Reality, and beings who had lived for millions of years building their foundations before breaking through should theoretically be unstoppable in the Primogenial Strata of Reality when facing against their peers.
So what was occurring at this moment atop a certain barren landmass was all the more unfathomable as two Primogenial Strata from the Olden Times adopted stern expressions while fusing with their Ascendancy Halos- their eyes staring at an unbelievable scene of a single Ninth Firmament existence opening Dimensional Gateways from her very body as 6 overpowering auras of Primogenial Strata Mirror Beast LEGENDS thundered out!
OOOOOOH!
Their bellows caused space to squeeze and fracture as the surrounded domain flashed with a silvery light, the hands of Katelyn coming together in front of her bountiful chest at this moment as they seemingly compressed dense Mirror Essence before she pulled her hands apart and caused the expansion of a radiant Mirror Barrier.
BZZT!
A barrier that made it seem countless mirrors appeared and surrounded half of the landmass as the figures of Xian and Dion were contained within.
Locked in a Mirror Dimension Domain with 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS and a particularly angered Dimensional Royalty!
Noah gazed at this shocking scene while thinking of the Abilities of RUINATION, specifically about her upgrade that should be occurring soon as he couldn't wait to see what marvelous control of Mirror Essence she would have next…because the way that Katelyn was manipulating this Dimensional Essence was even far and above what Noah could do with Dream Essence.
The 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS called out seemed to constantly be shifting their forms, their eyes wrathful locked onto Xian and Dion as the forms these Olden Emperors took while they were fusing with their Halos…were also the forms these Mirror Beasts took on.
Xian had a glorious purple aurora of wings erupting from his back as he formed into an archaic titanic crocodile whose scales shone with a menacing purple crystalline luster, storms of Aether erupting around him as Dion transformed into a titanic verdant King Cobra who had venomous green black poison dripping from its enormous fangs!
They released wild power and valor as established LEGENDS would have a hard time fighting against them, and yet three Mirror Beast LEGENDS took on the form of the Aether Bourne Crocodile that Xian adorned while the other three transformed into the Venomous Devouring King Cobra form that Dion took…the most dreadful thing being the fact that the aura these Mirror Beasts released being no less than the enemies they reflected.
"..."
The eyes of Xian and Dion turned somber.
The dress on Katelyn shimmered with a silver light as she beckoned with her fingers, her expression being akin to a queen commanding her soldiers with regality as the 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS moved!
Their appearance prompted the question of the appearance of LEGENDS within this Grotto Sanctum.
Anything that had formed its Reality would be stopped from entering with the restrictions of the barrier of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, when even if someone was connected to another as they wanted to pull them in through the folds of space once they were in it…
The very spatial essence carrying these beings would be reflected and bounce off of the barrier of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.
Yet Katelyn was able to call out LEGEND Tier existence as she had Gateways built into her own body, where she didn't pull upon their essence of connection with her to draw them into this special Domain, but she simply released these terrifying Mirror Beasts that were contained in a Dimensional Space in her own body!
It was a terrifying venture as the existences who had set their eyes on her found themselves in a difficult situation that was evolving in an unexplainable direction.
And even in this constantly changing situation, the eyes of Katelyn were languid as while her summoned Mirror Beast LEGENDS began pressing down on Xian and Dion, her visage flashed as her extremely beautiful face turned towards Noah.
Noah who was currently sitting above his Dragon Phoenix while watching everything occurring with great focus!
Katelyn's eyes flashed with a silver light while gazing at Noah as something maddening occurred in the next instant.
A flash of silver light bloomed as the sounds of Mirrors sliding could be heard, and a change occurred on the left horn of Andur where the ecstatic aura of none other than Katelyn appeared!
A Mirror Clone!
With glimmering might and an expression filled with ease as if it was nothing, a figure looking just like her from the distance landed on the purple gold scales of Andur as she turned to gaze at Noah- speaking with a pondering tone while gazing at him up and down.
"You hid yourself really well," Her voice was mesmerizing and powerful to hear as it carried a trace of regality when she spoke, her figure standing straight as she continued, "I don't think I can let you go freely again without getting a sufficient answer as to why you attached yourself to Sis Genevieve and came into the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum."
…!
"I don't think I can let you go freely again without getting a sufficient answer as to why you attached yourself to Sis Genevieve and came into the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum."
…!
She was a Ninth Firmament existence who was currently facing two extremely powerful LEGENDS who were geniuses from the Olden Era, and yet she didn't even seem to be putting all that much focus into the battle as a Mirror Clone of hers appeared on the vibrant scales of Andur!
What power!
What might!
"Adjudicator Katelyn," Noah gave a light nod and spoke out without even turning to his left where the dazzling figure of Katelyn stood, continuing to watch the shocking scene of Mirror Beast LEGENDS and the other figure of Katelyn commanding them as he replied.
"I didn't know you were this powerful."
His words caused the languid eyes of this Dimensional Royalty to rise as she looked at this being closely once more.
She had grown curious of him not because he was someone Genevieve brought back and his behavior- but because she had sensed a thin trace of Mirror Essence on him when he first entered the Pure Blooded Domains!
Yet now…
"How is it that you are vibrantly playing with…Dream Essence? When I first saw Mirror Essence on you not too long ago?"
WAA!
"You've asked me many questions, which one should I answer first?" Noah's eyes blazed with a profound light as he looked away from the enticing battle and gazed up at the figure of Katelyn standing atop the horn opposite to him.
Dimensional Essence buzzed between these two beings as Noah was surrounded by surging sandy gold Dream Essence, while Katelyn had silver Mirror Essence buzzing around her as these two opposing forces clashed to release a terrific pressure!
The mixture of Dream and Mirror Essence caused a unique mixture to erupt as even the dark and deathly essence from the Niflheim Dimension that was influencing the surroundings ever so slowly was pushed away.
Like two ancient beasts merely measuring each other's auras, the surging sandy gold essence and silver essence coiled and buzzed against each other as even the surrounding space trembled at their sheer impact.
The grand figure of the Dragon Phoenix these two beings stood on was trembling slightly at this moment while using everything in its power to not show its emotions, but its thoughts were tumultuous.
'What the fuck?!'
Andur watched the battle blooming from afar and the perpetrator who had actually locked down two powerful LEGENDS having another one of her bodies land atop it, not expecting to come across another being that seemed as ridiculous if not more ridiculous than the Tyrannical Emperor he had just pledged Fealty to- and it was an existence that was somewhat renowned in name that he had heard of before!
He just didn't know…she would be this dreadful.
'Are we…in the same grouping of geniuses still?'
This newly turned Vassal began questioning everything he knew as two existences wielding heavy Dimensional Essence stood on top of its majestic draconic head.
BOOOM!
"XIAN! What the hell did you embroil me in?!"
In the battle from afar, the figures of the Aether Bourne Crocodile and the Venomous Devouring King Cobra were already battered and bleeding True Blood as three Mirror Beast LEGENDS reflecting their own forms besieged them on all sides- not even having the chance to display their power and authority they had forged for millions of years as they were getting thrashed as if they were novice LEGENDS.
They were truly powerful and had forged their Foundations to a great degree as just in the short period of time they had become LEGENDS, their True Reality Damage Values could already exceed 10 Million+.
Yet…
"Fuck!"
They cursed under their breaths as Domains of Aether and Poison erupted out, battling the summons of a ridiculous being who only watched everything from afar while clasping her hands behind her silver dress.
Another form of hers was even gazing towards a terrifying existence on top of a Dragon Phoenix as if the battle in the distance had nothing to do with her!
This was the power of a Dimensional Royalty.
This was a semblance of their might!
"Start with Genevieve."
She spoke lightly as her tone was neither commanding nor servile, as if she was talking to someone on the same level as her.
Noah smiled at her reply as he turned his eyes back to the unfolding battle while he spoke.
"She is not who everyone believes she is. She is a Disaster Remnant that the LEGENDS of the Pure-Blooded Bloodlines killed and kept the body of a long time ago."
WAA!
Noah spoke of grand secrets freely as Katelyn's eyes turned extremely sharp!
"What?"
Her words carried obvious disbelief as Genevieve was the daughter of the current Bloodline Master, and if she chose not to break through to the stage of a LEGEND in this Grotto Sanctum- she would more than likely take this seat while her Father ascended to become a LEGEND and take a new position in the Main Reality!
Noah's words sounded wild, but he didn't take any more time to explain as he put his hands beside his head and caused a surge of mana, wisps of essence flowing together and condensing into a crystalline ball of light that he threw towards Katelyn.
A ball of light that when crushed by the hands of another- pre-chosen scenes and memories would play out!
Katelyn's mesmerizing eyes were fearless as she grasped this ball of light and allowed the harmless essence to sink into her, the scenes of Will Bearers appearing and waging war against Genevieve while she transformed into a 'Sacred Beast' playing out, as well as the scenes of Beatrix speaking with Noah after he had gained control of her!
"..."
Silence descended in the surroundings as only the quaking might of the far away battle could be heard.
"OOOOH!"
The ferocious bellow of Xian could be heard as TABOO waves of authority congealed around storms of Aether, beginning to form an ability that was close to REIFIED as a massive demonic Crocodile surrounded by blooming Aether lotuses on its left and right nearly opened its eyes, it's jaws opening to release beams of terrific light as the three Mirror Beasts opposing Xian…replicated this same scene in a terrific manner as Noah clicked his tongue at this.
The Mirror Beasts under this ridiculous Dimensional Royalty alone seemed capable of matching against powerful Primogenial Strata LEGENDS, Noah wanting to get his hands on his own Dream and Nightmare LEGENDS for him to call out to- or simply finish forging multiple Infinite Dream Automatons!
As for the one in question who had called them out?
Her gaze was currently difficult as she sifted through the memories Noah provided her, her head shaking with a sigh soon after as she turned to gaze towards Noah again.
"Why didn't you move to stop her then? Why follow her into the Lands of Royal Humans and into this Grotto Sanctum?"
"Because…" Noah's eyes turned luminous as his body rose, his visage that of an untouchable emperor as he stared straight at this astounding being beside him and spoke out with utmost seriousness!
"My Destiny told me that an immeasurable fate was waiting for me if I take this path- filled with treasures, authority, and even..." His luminous eyes locked on to Katelyn's silvery glazed eyes as he continued.
"...dazzling new allies that will challenge me."
WAA!
The words of the Tyrannical Emperor were bold as he gazed straight at Katelyn when he said this!
"Be serious." Katelyn's brows merely rose towards Noah's words as she brushed them off with ease, her eyes becoming covered with a silver light as she gazed off into the distant battle thoughtfully.
"This will be problematic to handle. I couldn't discern anything from her as if a Disaster Remnant is moving around freely in here…"
She seemed to be reminiscing about all the past memories of the one she knew as Genevieve as she sighed, a smile appearing on Noah's face at this as his voice echoed out.
"How is it problematic? We simply need to wipe out all traces of her before she leaves this Grotto Sanctum!"
Noah's words were filled with tyranny as he spoke, these two terrifying existences with their own Mythical Natural Born Dimensional Physiques talking straightforwardly for the first time as the results of this meeting were unknown!
Atop a barren land mass floating in cold seas that should have been filled with death and solitude.
Two immensely powerful Olden Emperors were being thrashed like mere children, their grandeur and visage being torn down like it was nothing by 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS whose controller…was currently not even putting all her focus on them!
A Mirror Clone of hers was sitting beside the devilishly handsome Tyrannical Emperor as the two of them seemed like celestial existences gracing their presence to the masses- and they did so in a shocking fashion while standing on top of a Dragon Phoenix whose very scales burned with a tinge of golden purple hue.
One could see the two were distinguished even from afar as their bodies pulsed with vibrant Dimensional Essence.
Katelyn was surrounded by radiant silver Essence as her gaze seemed to pierce across the veils of space and see things others couldn't, thinking about Noah's words of simply 'wiping out all traces of Genevieve who was unveiled to be a Disaster Remnant!
For this, one must consider what a Disaster Remnant was- and why Will Bearers were a faction of Primordials who were especially born to hunt those like them.
Will Bearers were existences holding connections to the Ancient Bloodlines that had long since been evicted out of the Main Reality by Primordials, with their most destined beings who managed to survive in the lands of Primordials until now being cleansed over the years!
Primordial LEGENDS who were proficient in Destiny took reigns of Will Bearers that they then sent out towards any Disaster Remnants they found, and this was how the Emperor of the Golden Eye had sent the Trio of Will Bearers that opposed Noah and Genevieve…and were instead turned into Resplendent Treasure Caches.
There were many Will Bearers in this Grotto Sanctum too, but how many of them knew that a target of their hunt walked among them?
'Even I didn't know all these years…'
A sigh escaped Katelyn's red lips as she returned her attention to the being who had the same visage as her…a being that seemed to keep her attention as she was somehow able to talk to him freely without being put off as if it was geniuses of the Royal Humans or those from the Main Reality who were around her 'age group' - they would already be granting her gazes of envy and jealousy if they were women, or gazes of greed and lust if they were men!
She didn't ponder too much on this as while a bullying in the distance nearly reached its climax, she got back on track.
"The other question." Her exceedingly beautiful face shook as she got back on topic, looking Noah up and down as she spoke freely.
"You had a trace of Mirror Essence…and still do, yet you are overflowing with Dream Essence at this moment. You…did you attain a Dimensional Physique in the short period of time I first met you, or you could just hide it really well?"
Her question sought answers to many things as Noah couldn't help but raise his brows quizzically towards her.
"You…why are you so freely asking about the secrets of others as if it is nothing?"
…!
Noah asked a very simple question that caused Katelyn to blink a few times, the silver light in her eyes fluctuating as she gradually seemed to realize something.
She had already affirmed this being didn't mean any harm to the Bloodline her father stemmed from and had now found out he was even tracking a Disaster Remnant that was aiming for her old Body in the Treasury of the Royal Humans, and like all other geniuses- he had his own secrets and means of power that he didn't have to share with others- and in fact, nobody would so freely share their secrets.
She had just freely asked this question to sate her curiosity as she had never even bothered to take the initiative to talk to other so called geniuses, where even an existence like Ezekiel whom her sister moved with that she knew carried a powerful veil over his being wasn't enough to make her bother!
So what made her so freely ask this Alexander King things as she even stood on top of a genius he had subjugated?
Katelyn was pondering this question without answering Noah as his magnetic voice brought her back to the present.
"How about this, I'll answer that question if you allow me to…take care of those two little things."
Noah's eyes were locked onto the visibly panicking Xian and Dion in their monstrous forms of Aether Bourne Crocodile and the Venomous Devouring King Cobra who were surrounded on all sides and were simply getting thrashed in a way that utterly destroyed any semblance of their authority!
Katelyn turned her eyes towards this area as she actually took Noah's words seriously, replying soon after.
"Just one."
WAA!
Just one! Katelyn had promised herself that she would seek the power and authority her family seemed to be rushing towards so much, so of course she wouldn't just let a chance to attain more authority from existences who tried to harm her go!
The sheer fact that she was okay giving one away was a testament to her curiosity as towards her reply, Noah's eyes released a terrific luster.
He had pondered and even affirmed with destiny whether he could just freely kill steal the enemies Katelyn was currently thrashing to obtain their Bloodlines and loot, and destiny showed him not so favorable fates in terms of his barely formed relationship with this terrifying Dimensional Royalty if he moved around in secret or merely said 'woops' after he did whatever he wanted!
The existence known as Katelyn…seemed to have a rather straightforward personality as Noah used her curiosity to simply say what he wanted to do.
And for the price of answering a question, he could loot an Olden existence!
HUUM!
His body buzzed with power as he rose up and stared at Xian with a devilish gaze.
To rouse more curiosity from the Dimensional Royalty beside him, his body distinctly flashed with the allure of 30 black Ascendancy Halos that fused with him, an aurora of wings erupting from his back as he adorned the True form of the Pure Arch-Royal Human!
His visage became even more devilishly handsome as tendrils of Runic golden flames surged around him, his one wing expanding behind him as his hair lengthened and adopted a golden luster.
In such a strengthened state, he didn't cast terrifyingly apocalyptic abilities or expose with power as he instead actually sat back down atop his Dragon Phoenix…and he merely began to speak!
p "Hey,"
…!
At his mere word, Katelyn's eyes constricted with care as she felt a billowing Tyrannical will carried along with them- a will that utilized authority and Soundwave to establish itself as it was the utilization of Emperor's Haki.
The ability that would allow Noah to infuse deadly Dimensional Damage Values to his mere words and thoughts as attacks so long as he released them with his Emperor's Haki!
The utilization of Haki was extremely unique as those weaker than Noah who were oppressed by his will would automatically lose 50% of their battle power against him.
It had turned passive when the Tyrannical Emperor became TABOO as Noah could actively use it against his enemies, and the unique thing was how its resource cost varied depending on the target!
If it was a weak enemy that Noah's will could easily overcome, the resource cost was negligible and not even worth mentioning.
But if it was someone truly powerful that even his strong will and soul couldn't easily sway- the resource cost would be higher the longer he directed this ability against them as it could theoretically reach hundreds of thousands of Units of the Essence of Reality per microsecond!
The will for his Haki stemmed from the strength of his Primogenial Soul as its power was drawn from here too, so Noah found it unique to target those in the Primogenial Strata of Reality with his own Soul that had yet to fully establish itself in the realm of Reality as the moment he came out the victor…he reaffirmed his robust foundation.
"Hey,"
Carried by Haki, the word barreled out as under the authority of this True Form, Noah easily exceeded 10 Million True Dimensional Damage Values with this attack alone.
It came to thunder in Xian's mind as his gaze quickly changed, his head buzzing as his right eye seemingly felt a heavy pressure building up inside as this Aether Bourne Crocodile had its eye and socket explode in the next instant!
p …!
The battlefield instantly changed as Xian's battered body pulled back from the three Mirror Beast LEGENDS that actually didn't follow him- all of this being under the command of their Master who was currently watching everything with interest.
She hadn't gotten a chance to freely associate with a being holding a connection to a Dimension this closely before as even the methods of power of others were different.
She wanted to see.
She was curious!
But in the mind of the target that was Xian, his Olden Soul was shuddering as he gazed towards the source of the voice with immense shock and fear- this being already feeling his Aspects of Existence and Reality Passages beginning to dim as a pervasive Dimensional Essence ravaged throughout his body!
His eyes could see his destiny turning extremely dark.
"Wait…"
So he croaked out.
But the luminous eyes of the Tyrannical Emperor were coldly gazing downwards as he finished his words while casting Emperor's Haki three times!
"Die for me."
BZZZT!
A negligible 75,000 Units of the Essence of Reality surged out from him against this being known as Xian, three booming attacks that arrived the moment they were voiced out smashing onto the visage of an Olden Emperor on all sides as this being…
"No…"
Saw his own destiny close before his very eyes as his crocodilian head burst open with the first word, his defenses already dimming down due to the effects of the Dream Essence as the other two words smashed into his Origin and Soul as they were also smashed to bits!
BOOM…SPLAT!
And the end result of it all was the enormous body of the Aether Bourne Crocodile expanding in multiple areas like a stuffed balloon as shimmering golden true blood splattered over the jagged mirror barriers!
"..."
An Emperor at the Realm of Reality who had forged his foundation for millions of years and prepared to springboard himself into Hegemony in the Kainos Era…died that simply as the masses wouldn't even be there to witness his death.
Andur's figure trembled at this scene as he wiped imaginary sweat from his draconic brows, thankful he had somewhat listened to his destiny and didn't actually die from someone merely speaking a few words!
Meanwhile, Katelyn's eyes squinted as she observed this scene closely, seeing the immense will carried by the attacks the being beside her had sent forth while he was still situated atop a Dragon Phoenix.
Hey, die for me.
4 words.
That was all it took to end such an existence as Katelyn saw the dense and vibrant Dimensional Damage Values that totaled over 40 Million from these 4 words put together.
Yet even though this scene was dreadful as it even caused the figure of Dion to gaze in a stupor as the 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS all surged towards this Devouring King Cobra that was already on its last legs.
Yet Katelyn herself only nodded with shining eyes as even after she saw this…she actually still didn't feel any ounce of fear or apprehension when gazing at this level of power!
"That much level of Dimensional Essence is impossible for any common Dimensional Physique."
She spoke about what interested her the most as even the deaths of two powerful Emperors weren't placed in her eyes, the poor Olden Emperors known as Xian and Dion not even getting a proper burial as the latter was ripped apart by 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS in the seconds that followed, the shimmering crown above Katelyn's head shining as more ecritures formed while above Noah…no fluctuations showed as he still hid his vibrant crown.
He didn't yet answer Katelyn's words as he watched vibrant prompts wash over his eyes, his Will also moving out to pull the glowing true blood of the ravaged Devouring King Cobra as Katelyn's Mirror Barrier began to fade while the 6 Mirror Beast LEGENDS returned to her the Dimensional Gateways on her body!

The effects of Absolute Looter are applied.
You have attained the TABOO Edicts of Aether's Embrace, Emperor of Fortitude, Ophidian Emperor….
The Olden Bloodline of the Aether Bourne Crocodile has been attained.
His body in the Main Reality buzzed with power in its slumber as the crown above him shone, the ecritures ETHEREAL DIMENSI EMPEROR shining with glory as even though he had just slain an existence that held multiple ecritures on his crown, the authority he had obtained from Xian added just a little to his own!
Part of the reason why he had garnered as much authority as he had was due to the fact that this being granted him 13 new TABOO Nomological Edicts, the wondrous Physique Refining Pearls, Liquefied Soul Seas, and False Grotto Nacres only being a bow to top off this whole gift as Noah began perusing the memories of this being and understand more intricacies of the past.
As he did this, his clone of Alexander released his true form as he returned to utter calmness on top of the Dragon Phoenix genius that was visibly trembling at this moment, the visage of Katelyn looking towards him with sparkling eyes that held a trace of vibrant curiosity, a quizzical expression present on her face as she asked with some hesitation.
"Are you…also a Dimensional Champion?"
...!
"Are you…also a Dimensional Champion?"
…!
The question was asked so simply as Katelyn had a quizzical expression, Noah keeping his own expression calm as he didn't give anything away even though he was hearing this term for the first time.
But his silence could be mistaken for an answer as he gazed at Katelyn while asking his own question.
"What would make you think I was a Dimensional Champion?"
Yes.
What did this title actually mean, and how was it different from a Dimensional Royalty?!
Katelyn's eyes raised at such a question as she pondered briefly before she replied, at the same time recalling all the power left behind where Xian and Dion just fell.
"Existences with tight connections to Dimensions who aren't imposed with the same restrictions. The Dimensions running alongside Reality are extremely old and powerful as the beings within are even more so, and yet you do not see any Dimensional beings running around in the vast Realities."
…!
"All Dimensionally bound existence cannot freely step into the vast Realities. With those who can being unique as they had to have a form of astounding authority from the Dimension…or others in a unique situation like me."
Noah's eyes shone with luminous lights at these words.
Katelyn was the daughter of a Dimensional Royalty and Alpha Strata LEGEND as she shared Bloodlines of both the vast Realities and Dimensions. While Noah…had attained his Dimensional connection through his System and then eventually Lavalliere with her Absolute Dream Authority that went to birth the Infinite Dream Physique!
His form buzzed with power as he was thinking, Katelyn waiting for his answer as he only smiled after a while and replied.
"I can't say anything about me being a Dimensional Champion, but I can answer your question that we agreed upon for the death of the little Aether beast."
Noah said this as he looked at the streaks of golden crimson true blood that were all that remained of a powerful Olden Emperor that had granted him a Supreme Olden Bloodline of the Aether Bourne Crocodile.
"Just like you have a connection with the Mirror Dimension through your own means, I gained a connection with the Dream Dimension with a Physique. Though, I don't seem to be nearly as powerful with the Essence of this Dimension compared to you- nor as special as I don't have existences chasing after my body so far."
Katelyn was following his words with focus as her calm eyes gradually became covered by a silvery light towards the end when she was reminded of why two Primogenial LEGENDS had just tried to attack her!
She let out a sigh as if she was woken up, looking at Noah whom she was curious about as unlike others- he didn't look at her with the repulsive gaze that she was used to from all men. She attributed this reason to him having already attained a Dimensional Physique as his means seemed immensely interesting, but she still had to continue moving at this moment as she nodded towards Noah and began floating away from the Dragon Phoenix's scaly head.
Her other body had turned into a streak of light to fuse with her as she released vibrant authority, Noah remaining situated upon Andur as he still voiced out towards her.
"You're going to leave just like that?"
He spoke while silently admiring the visage of this Dimensional Royalty who didn't even turn back as she turned to gaze up at the vibrant and cold chains of Reality arcing towards the glacial seas above.
"Just like you have your destiny, my own destiny also has a path I need to follow for me to achieve what I want. There is also Genevieve to take of….It is dangerous, but I shall do it nonetheless."
WAA!
Her words were filled with variance as she spoke, Mirror Essence buzzing around her as Noah wouldn't let her leave this easily!
So he cast out a net as he replied with a knowing nod.
"The WELCOME of the Grotto Nacres, did you find that here too?"
…!
Noah spoke as he gazed at the golden dome he didn't feel any opportunities in as he guessed Katelyn must have somehow already gotten it!
Slight surprise covered Katelyn's eyes as she focused back on Noah briefly.
"Yes."
The surprised eyes of this Dimensional Royalty turned somber soon after as she gazed up in the distant glacial seas where the Essence of the Niflheim Dimension was getting thicker and even colder.
"It's giving me extremely dangerous waves of destiny when I think about it and what lies ahead."
…!
She had the same premonition of danger as Noah- whatever lay ahead of them being something dreadful to even cause beings like them to move with care!
"Then…since we must take care of Genevieve and know of the dangers to come ahead, why don't we move together for now? Genevieve will be coming for me soon enough anyways…"
Noah had cast out a net as he began to pull it in at this moment.
Katelyn turned back towards him as she only saw his confident smile, her curiosity towards the mysteries he held still keeping her on the hook as she actually began to ponder.
"I've got a ride here and still have questions about Dimensions I wish to ask you, and I'll also answer any…viable questions that you have as well. You can also affirm with your destiny, but I'm sure I will not be anything close to a hindrance towards your goals."
Noah patted the shimmering golden purple scales of the Dragon Phoenix below him who shuddered, the Dimensional Royalty before his eyes becoming covered by a golden light as a myriad of silver gold lotuses began to bloom around her body- giving off immense waves of destiny as seemed to be looking for something!
She came out of her trance soon after as the lotuses faded, and she actually nodded her head as she floated back towards the draconic head where Noah sat calmly.
Her eyes were staring up towards the glacial cold seas that led to the unknown, the visage of Noah beside her placing his hands on the vibrant scales of the beast they were on as flourishing Dimensional Essence surged and wrapped around it.
HUUM!
With a sandy golden glow, the restrictions loosened in the surroundings as a flaming Dragon Phoenix carrying two beings moved towards the Chains of Reality arching upwards- Noah beginning his ascension towards the depths of the Grotto Sanctum that would reveal many things as this time, he had a beauty by his side!
While Noah began his ascension deeper into the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, other beings also reached the first floating landmass as the True geniuses overcame the trials and also moved forward.
Across the outer ring where the Chains of Reality leading to the first Land masses were located, the chains leading from them all seemed to be pulled up from a single central region, showing that when one ascended even further- the geniuses that had been exploring and meeting opportunities separately would soon be able to meet!
The Scions of different Lineages of the Main Reality.
The hidden geniuses that others didn't even comprehend the power of!
And…whatever lay waiting in this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.
—
In the Dimensional Holy Land.
Surges of multicolored Essence wrapped around Noah's main body that was seated on the Throne, his eyes fluttering as his eyelids began to open heavily as if they were golden gates that held behind them splendrous grandeur.
WAA!
A burst of light bloomed from his eyes opening as he rose from slumber, the third Infinite Dream ending as over 10,000 new Realities were assimilated into the Infinite Reality!
This included 2 unique Realities that were currently forming into their own domains the size of hundreds of Cosmos in a region of the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality.
But Noah's attention wasn't so much on this as it was on the other gains of the Infinite Dream, with the number of True Stars of Conquest exceeding 5,000 once more as yet another bold action could be taken.
While just waking up from slumber, Noah's first action was a domineering one.
"Take the Dictum Emperor to TABOO."
HUUM!
The incandescent light of Thousands of True Stars of Conquest flashed as they began budding to form a new Seed of TABOO!
At the same time, Noah breathed out while checking the vibrant state of his body that was being packed with essence constantly, the Infinite Reality Passages continuing to nourish him as even though his Aspects of Existence couldn't take any more essence- all of it was being stored in Noah's body!
Until he affirmed that he truly couldn't exceed the limitations anymore, this essence would continue building up as even now- he was looking at new means of Empowerment.
He could Trippe Empower his Aspects of Existence and a few more things as there were enough residual True Stars of Conquest to do so- the added Prime Realities and unique Realities each adding multiple True Stars of Conquest compared to normal Emerging Realities as Noah had hundreds to spare even now.
He waited for the most opportune time to do this, with Jim not knowing exactly when this time would be as only time would tell!
But while he waited for this time to come and a new Seed of TABOO was budding, there were also changes occurring to his Infinite Reality Passages now that the changes of the Infinite Reality were gradually stabilizing.
The Infinite Runic Ecriture of Modus Operandi…would evolve based on the state of the Infinite Reality!
The Infinite Reality Passages and the rotation of one's origin that stemmed from this Modus Operandi would also undergo their own changes.
Noah rose from the throne he had been slumbering in this whole time as he gazed above him where vibrant massive stellar mountain-like Passages gushed essence onto him endlessly- these passages currently undergoing expansion as if they weren't massive already!
This wasn't all as their multicolored allure was beginning to dim while a sandy gold brightness began to permeate and brighten up along their massive mountain-like bodies.
The dense and massive sandy golden light of Dream Essence clustered around Noah's Infinite Reality Passages as the changes were computed and then quantified before Noah's eyes, the essence raining down from the radiant Reality Passages coming down with much more fervor!
The Infinite Runic Ecriture of Modus Operandi is undergoing changes as the Reality it is based on has achieved an unquantifiable state.
The Infinite Reality Passages birthed by the method of operation of the Gorumandizing Dimensional Reality have been heavily influenced by the essence of the Dream Dimension.
HUUM!
Golden Essence burst and coiled like draconic snakes across the 50 Infinite Reality Passages, causing the 'skies' above the Dimensional Holy Land to be painted with utmost splendor as any beings might fall to their knees if they were to see it!
Yet Noah gazed at it all with a profound gaze of elation as this was what his soul looked for the most.
The sense of wonder at finding and unlocking unimaginable things!
The glory of opening paths and truths others could only dream of!
Everything something like this happened, Noah felt a sense of intoxication he couldn't even fully explain!
The Infinite Reality Passages have undergone a significant expansion as each one now grants the Generation of 30,000 Units of The Essence of Reality per second.
The feature of Empyral Mitahara has been born.
WAA!
Like a bolt of lightning, Noah's sight was illuminated by light as everything stopped!
Everything had to stop.
This was because the word Empyral had appeared on a feature…such a word holding too many meanings as it was reaching towards power that many LEGENDS were trying their best to grasp.
Empyral Mitahara.
Mitahara was a unique word that held many meanings, with some describing it as a habit of moderation or consumption of nourishment and how this came to affect one's Aspects of Existence!
It was a practice that promoted health, vitality, and strength!
Empyral Mitahara:: A heavy concept to grasp one's hands on as its activation allows for the Infinite Reality Passages to draw upon all of the essence it utilizes for nourishment and then add spicules of the essence of the Natural Laws of Reality into it to achieve the effect of nourishing a selected Bone, Musculature, or Organ to begin transforming into the higher stage of Empyral. The culminated essence requires passing through an established resonance of the Aspects of Existence as it costs 2 Million Units of the Essence of Reality to activate and maintain every single second thereafter. The rate of forming Empyral Bones, Musculatures, or Organs with this method is far faster than the natural nourishment of one's Aspects of Existence…
"..."
A ridiculous balance-breaking ability appeared…one that also had a ridiculous cost to use as it would heavily affect Noah's generation of the Essence of Reality if he kept it active!
Empyral Mitahara.
A feature that would cost Noah 2 Million Units of the Essence of Reality every single second to keep active, with his current generation being 1.5 Million Units per second as Noah couldn't even cast and keep this ability active!
But it was a terrifying one to say to the least, and as always…Noah was still hindered from usage due to his Realm.
He required resonated Aspects of Existence to do so, and he would only achieve this when forming his Reality.
At this point in time, everything was telling him to break through.
That he had reached the ultimate foundation in the stage of the Firmaments of Ascendancy as he could let go of any possibilities hereafter apart from the single one of advancement!
His Infinite Reality Passages that granted tremendous nourishment every single second and bathed his Aspects of Existence didn't change this.
Utilizing Reality Assimilator or receiving the portions of souls from countless vassals didn't change this!
"Is this really it?"
Noah raised his hands as he saw the stellar light vibrating within them, his skin constantly pulsing with waves of power as the Infinite Reality Passages above him continued to change and elevate themselves.
At such a juncture, Noah stared at his chest where Lavalliere should have been bound as he spoke absentmindedly.
"Can the Absolute Dream Authority make it possible? Can enough uses be built up to aid in exceeding absolute limits?"
…!
Absolute Dream Authority.
What made the Infinite Dream Physique and many other things possible through Lavalliere's uses!
...The are many things across these Realities and 9 Dimensions, but absolutes are just that.
I cannot calculate the number of Uses required for something such as that to be achieved as it is not just a matter of turning Dream into Reality- with your goal being something that is not achievable even in Dreams.
WAA!
Yes.
Absolute Dream Authority had Dream in its name as it was something stemming from the peaks of authority from the Dream Dimension, and what Noah wanted to do was unachievable even in his dreams!
"..."
His stellar eyes shone luminously as his will surged with power and tyranny, rising from his throne entirely as he floated in the air and overlooked the Dimensional Holy Land while watching the next set of prompts of the elevation of the Infinite Runic Ecriture of Modus Operandi and the Infinite Reality Passages finish
Due to the Reality your Modus Operandi is based on and the Primogenial Casuistic Origin, the pathway to the Paramount Ancient Reality [Paramount Kainos Dimensional Reality] has been opened.
…!
When Noah had first achieved his Primogenial Casuistic Origin by breaking his Limits, he was shown the prompt that there was a high chance of attaining a Paramount Ancient Reality of the current Era!
With the advancement of the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality that Noah based the method of operation for his Reality…he could now confidently attain a Paramount Kainos Dimensional Reality.
Everything so far was just so sweetly pulling him towards forming his Reality as soon as possible, with the doors opening up behind it being utterly astounding.
Stellar cosmos swirled in his eyes as he remained steadfast, gazing at the last prompt that landed before his eyes.
The Effects of all other features of the Infinite Reality Passages experience an elevation to their effects.
BZZZT!
The Infinite Reality Passages above Noah released their final incandescent radiance as they were surrounded by dense sandy gold allure in their stellar makeup, the vibrant multicolored essences surging across them and showering onto Noah's body causing an absolutely fantastic scene to play out!
But in some of the Reality Passages where skills were being nourished in their depths, blinding rays of light surged and wrapped around the manifestation of these skills!
Noah gazed at this scene with twinkling eyes as it seemed that REIFIED skills would soon be coming to fruition, this elevation of the Infinite Reality Passages making the advancement of some finish up much quicker.
LEGENDS could gradually form reified skills with their essence as Noah's Mana and other resources that were refined a few times now would almost make it possible to utilize Quasi-Reified abilities, but those fostered and strengthened in the Infinite Reality Passages would be a stage above all others as Noah patiently waited for their results soon!
"As this occurs…"
He was feeling somewhat melancholic after the many repeated failures to exceed already exceeded Limits, and he felt like seeing someone that he knew would soothe his heart.
His Main Body became wrapped by a spatial light as the Infinite Reality Passages remained suspended up above, his True Sanguine Clones remaining with their tasks in the Dimensional Holy Land taking on its authority and Nourishment as his main body disappeared.
He crossed many layers of space as within moments, his stellar form and all of its tremendous glory reached a new location.
In the expanded lands of the old blue planet.
Vibrantly milky white trees holding ripe Primordial Apples could be seen stretching out in neat rows in one direction as multicolored trees holding Mythical Fruits of Life could be seen in another direction!
Other vibrant Sacred Herbs were stretched throughout as at the center was a vibrant clearing filled with surging liquefied seas of essence, a small floating golden castle being seen with golden steps leading down to fields of farms filled with lush and glittering soil.
Currently, the figure of a woman that didn't seem older than in her 30s could be seen breathing out a sigh of happiness as she had just finished planting another seed for the new sacred herbs that were unlocked, a young boy that looked a bit over 10 floating to bring her a cup of a milky gold drink as these two were none other than Little Henry and his Grandmother- Amelia Osmont!
The vibrant Essence and boosts from Noah's Lineage had made Mother Amelia seemingly revert in years as she gave off a vibrant air, Noah smiling as he saw them while Little Henry was the first to turn towards his teleporting figure.
"Father!"
The young boy born just days ago yet looking 10 years old smiled cutely, with one never thinking his clone was currently outside the vast Realities moving with Hyperion, the Emperor Penguin, Natalya, and many others in order to hunt down dwellings of powerful Primordial Beasts!
Noah patted the cerulean and black hair of his son as his mother turned towards him with a loving smile and eyes that seemed to see everything.
"What's gotten my Little Tyrant down?"
With profound warmth, Noah smiled as his stellar form faded, dashing human skin covering him as he became indistinguishable from any normal human being!
"Does it seem like I'm down?"
Noah spoke with a smile as he gave a hug to his mom and patted Little Henry's head, looking at the fields of Sacred Herbs around this area and the floating golden castle in the distance.
Noah had given his family free rein to request things from the Infinite Reality as the one thing his mother loved to do was farm and watch the process of plants blooming and harvesting- with her Edicts naturally forming in this direction as the things she planted could even produce unique effects!
Her dark hair shone with brilliance as she had known a single white dress, her eyes already beginning to buzz with Dimensional Essence as the effect of Interlinked Royal Lineage expressed itself on her and Little Henry.
"A mother can always tell when something is worrying their son. Come, tell me what happened."
Mother Amelia patted the glimmering earth below as Noah came to sit beside her, Little Henry grabbing extra drinks for them happily as Noah spoke lightly while gazing into the fields around them.
"I've crossed a barrier of limitation and reached an uncrossable absolute limitation, with my foundation not being capable of being built up any further as everything is telling me that I've reached everything I can reach in this stage…and that I should proceed forward. But my heart isn't content. I still feel like there should be a possibility…but I just cannot grasp it."
Noah's voice buzzed out as he explained his current situation to his mother in simple terms, even going forward to explain and infuse her with streams of memories about Aspects of Existence and the Limits he had already exceeded!
His mother nodded his head in understanding while Little Henry obediently listened on the side, not shocked in the very least to hear that his father had broken the Limitations of all Aspects of his Existence as he now wanted to break past even this.
"Limitations, TABOO concepts, Destiny…I may not know much in all these compared to you, but I do know my son."
Mother Amelia began to speak thoughtfully as she organized all her thoughts and continued.
"You've had many enemies before, but do you know who your greatest enemy has always been?"
"Mmm, myself?" Noah smiled happily as he laid his head on his mother's shoulder.
"Cheeky boy…yes. Other people can target you or call you names, other people can disappoint you, other people can tell you how things should be done…and many more things. But it all comes down to what you decided to do in the end."
"This Limitation you're talking about, who decided that it was an absolute limitation?"
BZZZT!
The surroundings began to buzz as Mother Amelia's words vibrated with a sense of tyranny!
"This progression of Cosmic Filament to Reality and its steps, who decided them? Must you follow the path that is established by others? Even if you say that this is what is allowable by the bounds of Reality…have you not been doing many Reality altering things so far? Can you not forge your own path amidst all this?"
The eyes of Mother Amelia were releasing a profound light as she spoke, her hand stroking Noah's head as his own eyes began to release a terrific light!
"I also remember how you always tried to do everything yourself even back then. School, work…you didn't like depending on others as you had been disappointed too many times. We can blame your father for many of the reasons behind that but…this can also be a limitation that you place on yourself. You don't always have to put everything on your shoulders, and you also don't need to only depend on yourself when facing a problem."
"So don't always try to do everything alone. Work is always made easy when you have others helping you out…and you have countless existences in this Infinite Reality. Don't count all of them out."
…!
WAA!
Noah's eyes shone luminously as his destiny buzzed at his Mother's words!
The buzzing of Karma and Fate also rose as countless resplendent strings erupted from him…his very soul buzzing as destiny seemed to have caught onto something after his mother's words!
He didn't fully know what it was yet as going from the words of his mom, Noah's head rose up as his hands pulled out a golden book.
Seas of destiny began to swirl around him as his eyes became lost in this grandeur, with his will wanting to grasp whatever had appeared before either escaped from his fingers.
Mother Amelia saw this as she smiled and nodded towards Little Henry, the two of them rising up and moving to another row of the vibrant soil as they allowed Noah to work on his epiphany in peace.
Seas of destiny began to rise around Noah as he tried to piece together what there was that could help him, changes continuing to bloom around this area and even further away as in the Dimensional Holy Land, his True Sanguine Clones rose their eyes to the Infinite Reality Passages above that were buzzing with even more activity!
Specifically, it was one Infinite Reality Passage that was currently the most active, a crimson red fiery light roaring out at its very center as this was the Passage that held the Ascendant Reality Fireball within it.
HOONG!
The Infinite Reality Passage released tumultuous crimson red light as if it was undergoing a volcanic eruption, its center releasing a vibrant light of glory as within Noah's mind, a prompt rose!
Ascendant Reality Fireball had undergone successful REIFICATION.
…!
The first skill to be placed in an Infinite Reality Passage forged the way forward and advanced as at the center of the first Reality Passage, an incandescent form began to unveil itself.
Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, a visage of a crimson stellar existence that was seemingly clumped up into a fiery ball unfurled, its hands rising out gloriously as magisterial fiery stellar wings erupted behind it!
The radiant head of this existence rose up next as tendrils of crimson gold hair flowed down to its shoulders, and a crown made of stellar flames domineeringly burned above this head that showed an existence with an unreasonable sense of beauty and wonder open its eyes!
HUUUM!
Behind the fiery stellar wings of this shocking visage, a circular row of multicolored stellar balls of flames bloomed- with more and more circular rows coming to fruition soon after as each ball of flames shone with a terrifying radiance that could burn a beginner LEGEND to a crisp!
In one of the dazzling Infinite Reality Passages, the visage of a titanic stellar being formed from flames could be seen as a radiant crown of flames shone brightly above her, her radiant crimson red stellar wings having rows of circular balls of Flames that seemed like endlessly burning condensed Realities!
She had unfurled her hands, wings, and feet as if she was a newborn- her eyes opening soon after as they rained down shocking brilliance and power.
Her gaze landed on none other than Noah below her as the eyes of this blank will sparkled- a mischievous smile shockingly appearing on her eyes and mouth as she used one of her stellar crimson hands to wave towards Noah below!
Her entire visage screamed of TABOO and power as this…was the REIFIED Ascendant Reality Fireball.
HUUM!
Essence flooded out all around as the Infinite Reality Passage continued to nourish her- the boosts of power being something that would continue to be elevated in the future as the current power of the Ascendant Reality Fireball…
...It is still in the process of being computed and quantified, Master.
Was not even ready to be revealed as the process of REIFICATION must have produced shocking results!
REIFICATION! Legends had to spend time and effort to make their abilities achieve this state after bathing them with the resonated essence of their Primogenial Strata and the nourishment from their Reality Passages.
Geniuses in the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy could unique achieve something halfway there as some were capable enough to form Quasi-REIFIED abilities- but Noah bypassed all of this with Tyrannical Reifier to attain a stupendous Reified Ability that would even continue to be enhanced overtime!
Noah nodded at this level of wonder as he waited for the results, his connected Will feeling his Main Body dance around with the tumultuous weaving of destiny after hearing his mother's words- where he actually picked up a possible path that could grant him the results he sought!
First was the perception of how he looked at everything.
When he reached the 'upper limits' of the Aspects of Existence, what made him agree that they were truly the upper limits that couldn't be exceeded anymore?
Just because his Origin, Soul, and Body didn't have the capability to expand any further in this stage- must that be the Reality?!
The other point that his mom had made…was that he wasn't alone.
He had countless existences in the Infinite Reality under him, and when his destiny had caught onto to this- Karma and Fate followed as there actually seemed to be something in this direction!
It seemed that there was someone or multiple of his vassals who could actually contribute in helping him in his research to exceed already exceeded Limits, and he had been using Destiny to find out exactly who this would involve as this was taking some time.
And since it was taking time…Noah once more smiled as he put the word of relying on others into practice- and thus, he spoke to the Infinite Reality!
"Are there any exceptional beings that have risen recently in the Infinite Reality? Any that stand above the rest and have something unique?"
WAA!
Silent waves of destiny echoed out as the Infinite Reality replied soon after.
Apart from the Child of Destiny bourne from Master, there are 193 others that can be considered unique as their Aspects of Existence, Destiny, Fate, or other conceptual parts of themselves either underwent a mutation or veered from the norm during Upgrades of the Infinite Reality or through unique means.
"Oh?"
Noah's brows rose at this as he breathed out and focused on his connection with the Infinite Reality, his will latching onto it as he prepared to connect fully to understand and receive information rapidly.
Yes. The most unique ones are the Oathkeeper, Dr. Hall, the Atlantean Emperor…
The Infinite Reality listed many names as Noah connected to it to deeply understand the inhabitants of his Lands, trying to see which among them could actually contribute to his research!
p "The Oathkeeper?"
Noah remembered the Protector that became his Vassal what seemed like forever ago when it wasn't even too long.
Yes, he has been steadily raising the Primordial Disc that complemented RUINATION. Though it is still in the air if he can raise this Relic to come even close to RUINATION.
"Mmm, and this…Dr. Hall?"
Adrian Hall. A native of the Blue Planet who managed to very quickly achieve a unique Quasi-TABOO Nomological Edict during the changes occurring due to the recent elevation to a Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality…
Waves of destiny flowed silently as Noah's mind delved and focused on the information of beings brought up before his eyes, where he wouldn't have to even wait too long to find what he wanted!
—
Destiny was weaving in a tumultuous manner as its influence spread far and wide.
In the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality, it had begun to erupt and turn wild as the Unnamed Kainos Emperor attempted shocking things, while in the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum…a portion of the genius Emperors of this Age were all pulled with the weaving of destiny towards one location.
They all gathered as each one shone with their own astounding destiny, the depths of a cold and dreary domain that pulled all of them in holding shocking mysteries as the influence of the Niflheim Dimension was merely just that!
On one of the Chains of Reality that led into the endless unknown.
The further up one moved across the deathly cold seas, the more the surroundings became heavier as they were currently coagulating into solid glacial ice that made it extremely hard to move.
Yet a single mount was tearing across the condensing states of matter with vibrant fervor as its Master provided its body with waves of Dimensional Essence that also surged onto the Chain of Reality below, causing the restrictions around the areas it passed to be lifted as it moved with ease!
Atop this Dragon Phoenix that shone with golden purple scales and had vibrant winged flames of the same color, the pristine figures of a man and woman sat in front of the draconic horns at the very forefront of this being as the two of them seemed to be exceedingly beautiful Celestial gracing the common world with their presence.
The silver white hair on Katelyn shone with light as while they began to edge upwards towards the unknown, she finally paid attention to the genius below her.
"Who is this that you have subjugated under your authority?"
"..."
A question that caused Noah to smile as he didn't reply, wondering the thoughts of this Dimensional Royalty when it came to him taking a Pure-Blooded Primordial as someone to serve him!
Noah didn't reply to Katelyn's question as he patted the scales of the Dragon Phoenix who replied with a low voice.
"...I am Andur, Young Miss. From the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage of the Main Reality."
"Oh." Katelyn nodded simply as if this didn't interest her all that much!
This was a young Genius prominent from the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage, and yet Katelyn had shown a distant reply the moment the Main Reality was mentioned.
The so called geniuses from this vast domain…she didn't have a greatly favorable impression of them due to past events as this was part of the reason she didn't even bat an eye when she saw Noah standing above this Dragon Phoenix.
Her eyes instead landed on the crown above Andur that read VAS as she raised her eyes towards the calm figure of Noah once more!
"You putting another Emperor under you directly alters their authority?"
"Mmm." Noah gave a light nod as he gazed at the shimmering crown above Andur.
"The Emperors that fall under my heel shall be distinguished as my VASSALS. In the future, they should be far stronger than many Candidate Emperors…"
Noah spoke of a grand future as Katelyn's eyes flashed, her thoughts kept to herself as she actually thought of this carefully!
BZZZT!
The seas around them gradually turned entirely frozen as Andur's huge body now decimated the glaciers they passed while forging forward, Noah's Dimensional essence and the Essence of Reality continuing to flow out of him unceasingly as this didn't pass Katelyn's eyes.
"You've mentioned talking about secrets, but I'm still curious about your usage of essence right now. We've been ascending upwards for a significant period of time now as Dimensional Essence and Essence of Reality continued to be produced by you without so much as a worry…how unique is your Dream Physique to be able to do this."
"Oh?" Noah stopped gazing up ahead as he turned to the young woman beside him, his hand pointing up as he spoke while a single massive Infinite Reality Passage appeared!
"We'll continue to trade secrets then. I have larger reserves of Essence and generate much more of it freely due to my Reality Passages. I'm sure you have your own unique Reality Passages?"
Noah tried to probe the power of this Dimensional Royalty before him who gazed at his massive Infinite Reality Passage with eyes of intense focus.
She replied to him in passing while the illusion of 100, and then 200, and then 300 silvery Reality Passages flashed above Katelyn in the cold glacial seas above- this illusion of Passages about to add another 100 as it didn't even seem like she had shown all of them!
"Yes. But mine…aren't truly my own. They also carry a trace of inheritance from the Mirror Dimension that I did not ask for…."
…!
She spoke slowly and with a sigh as the illusion of her Reality Passages faded.
Noah watched this scene closely as his will worked fast, trying to attain as much information about this being before him as he asked calmly.
"Can you tell me about the Mirror Dimension? The powers and Royalties within that aren't even allowed into the vast Realities?"
While ascending the fold yet vibrant Chain of Reality, the Unnamed Kainos Emperor tried to unveil the mystery of a Dimensional Royalty while the latter being also fed her curiosity about the anomaly that had stepped into the Royal Human Bloodline, the experience being unique and different as it wasn't something that was possible for her before!
They weren't the only ones climbing across similar Chains of Reality as far away from them, the hidden figure of Genevieve who held an entirely different form at this moment also ascended upwards- her body surrounded by surging waves of TABOO essence as shockingly, her face actually carried a trace of amazement and shock at this moment.
This was because the areas of increasingly heavy restrictions…didn't seem to pose much of an effect on her as she went up, and it instead even caused her body to begin bubbling with a profound power!
She had devoured multiple geniuses while in different forms as the number of TABOO Edicts under her belt had already reached over 30, but this wasn't the reason why restrictions that were imposed on all other beings seemed to be coming looser as she climbed up.
It was all in her…
"Blood…"
WAA!
She echoed these words out with shock and disbelief as she stared at the glacial seas around her, where even she had no idea what lay up ahead! But the sheer fact that she felt unfettered…
BOOM!
Made her move upwards explosively as she shot out with speeds many others beings entering this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum wouldn't be able to match!
Out of all the beings that just recently entered this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, she was the only one to experience this shocking change as when she thought about what might possibly be up ahead, her eyes couldn't help but release a shocking radiance.
She went up at a shocking pace, but other distinguished geniuses were still forging ahead at the same pace with those even more monstrous actually being faster as they all followed the tout strings of destiny.
They brought all means possible to bypass the forming glaciers in increasingly dreadful seas- the Essence of the Niflheim Dimension becoming dense and denser as the further in one went.
Past the snaking Chains of Reality, a vast and exceedingly vast landmass of frozen death and wonder lay.
Chains of Reality snaked over and sunk into the cold earth of this landmass as dense gray mist was covering the sight of anyone that gazed further in- the contents of everything held within being covered as one could mainly feel the oppressive and restrictive laws around them!
Wondrously, the glacial sea ended the moment one finished ascending the snaking Chains of Reality as they came upon the open and misty skies of this cold landmass that seemed to be converging all the Chains towards a central location.
At this moment, there were less than a dozen figures that came from different directions of floating land masses as they managed to break past the glacial sea layer and converge in this new region with a few second differences from each other.
One of these beings had glimmering wings shining on her legs and even more vibrant wings on her back, her eyes vibrating with luminous light as they seemed capable of piercing across the dense mist ahead!
Another was a shocked Disaster Remanant whose Blood continued to boil with even more fervor as she could feel seas of golden destiny unexpectedly open up before her.
Another was a vibrant Dragon Phoenix mount that carried two shocking beings, and there was uniquely another party of two that arrived around the same time.
A pair of a young man and woman that one wouldn't expect to be the types of beings to make it this far and this quickly- it was Ezekiel and Nefertiti!
The pull of destiny gathered many beings towards a land filled with heavy mist, where one wouldn't even be able to see or hear another if they were a few meters away.
The vision and hearing of all beings in the area…restricted! It was a wondrous result that came about through unfathomable means.
And given the heavy restrictions that only became more prevalent the deeper one went into this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, it meant one's will, hearing, and vision were limited to a few meters around them!
Those who had arrived in these vast lands first didn't know who or what else lay around them as they were displaced for an unknown number of miles.
After their entrance, others gradually made their way up with their own means as they arrived later, the other set of beings coming later including the vibrant astral existence known as Juliette- her Astral visage adorned with a red battle dress as her head danced with crimson flames.
Beside her was the figure of Helen who was panting as if she was out of breath, looking towards Juliette with frustration as she also gazed at the cold and misty land around them.
"Some of us aren't Chosen Emperors with ridiculous abilities…you could have at least slowed down a little!"
…!
The two exceedingly beautiful women had met up even after the separation of the teleportation after their entrance, a smile densely arching on Juliette as above her crown, the ecritures of FLAME EMPERO shone brightly- meaning she had undoubtedly increased her authority on her way here.
"Who would have thought this Grotto Sanctum would actually be filled with a mystery? I'm curious who's bold enough to say WELCOME to the geniuses of the Primordials!"
Juliette was filled with battle intent and wonder as she moved at her own pace, Helen groaning as she followed behind this being that began to move deeper into the mist to explore what lay around them.
Miles away from their location, an existence that carried a glistening TABOO Techo Relic Rifle behind her back also broke past the glacial seas and stepped into this hand, her eyes careful and heavy as she reached for her weapon the moment she arrived.
Even further away from that location, a large group of Dragon Phoenixes rose together from a Chain of Reality as their whole group was surrounded by an incandescent light that withdrew into a single being at the very forefront.
His scales carried the vibrant colors of gold and white that were different from Andur, with an authority that was even more vibrant as around his solidified crown, the ecritures EMPERO shone brightly!
"Emperor Aegon…the restrictions continue getting even heavier. We won't be able to aid you at our full power…"
One of the Dragon Phoenixes in the back heaved a sigh as its scales creaked from the pressure, Aegon not turning his head back as he gazed at the misty and cold lands around them.
"We move forward. The so called Alexander King you all mentioned…the winds of Destiny tell me we shall find traces of him in these lands. If he truly killed Andur…he will be buried in these lands along with everyone else!"
WAA!
Arcs of flames and brutality shone from this being as more and more existences climbed up the heavy restrictions and made their way into the barren and cold misty lands!
In another region, the vibrant Young Emperor that also stemmed from the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline rose with his entourage- his shocking perception in Destiny and Fate allowing him to find those who supported him the quickest in the outer areas of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum as with great effort, they arrived here.
This being was still in his humanoid form as a flaming golden robe adorned him, his solidified crown with a vibrant EMPEROR swirling above it being painted with a hue of gold as even before coming into this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum…this being had seen that not everything was as it seemed!
"Young Emperor…shall we proceed forward?"
,m One of his people with a tired expression asked, and the Young Emperor actually shook his head with a thoughtful expression as he replied with his gaze overlooking into the unknown.
"No. The veils surrounding us…will soon enough come down on their own as the truth will be laid bare to all. The Harbingers of Death who have reached out to the Niflheim Dimension and utilized its influence…we shall know them soon enough."
…!
Dense waves of TABOO concepts of destiny, fate, and karma surrounded this being as he seemed to have multiple TABOO Edicts geared towards Destiny, Fate, and Karma!
Such insights allowed him to see many more things that others didn't as his party remained right where they were and didn't move any further, recovering their essence while bearing the heavy restrictions around them.
As time passed, more and more genius existences climbed up, some of them shining with shocking splendor as their Passage here meant they had attained the Grotto Nacres on the floating landmasses.
For the geniuses who were holding their foundation this whole time…some chose to become LEGENDS right after as they began to utilize the Grotto Nacres to elevate their Primogenial Strata!
The Will Bearer Trio of the Nine Sea.
Reality Ursidae whose bodies resonated with their surroundings.
The Child of the Trees with a cluster of glimmering Infinite Willow Trees.
A dazzling Limit Breaker from the Royal Humans of the Main Reality!
Other Leaders of Obsidian Adjudicator Legions!
Other groups of Will Bearers that were under the rule of renowned LEGENDS!
Many of the powerful existences gathered and stepped into the barren lands filled with coldness, death, and dense mist that covered their wills, hearing, and vision heavily!
Amidst all this, the visage of a young man wrapped in Dream Essence was thoughtful as he gazed into the mist ahead and around them.
Katelyn sat opposite him atop the skull of the Dragon Phoenix still, Golden lotuses of destiny blooming and breaking around her as her gaze hardened.
"Is it Destiny…or actually Calamity?"
Katelyn spoke softly as she looked ahead into the unknown.
Noah's eyes were also swirling with destiny as while The Dictum Emperor's Seed of TABOO neared completion, many more things were becoming clear to his eyes.
The Unexplored Grotto Sanctum had the attention of even Alpha Strata LEGENDS as it drew in many astounding geniuses- their very origins telling them that a shocking Destiny waited for them in this domain…so long as they survived the dangers.
A destiny that if they attained it, their path towards becoming a True Emperor would be paved with even more ease!
To be capable of spreading its influence on so many geniuses and drawing them in, this destiny had to have been tremendous in its effect and might.
To establish the true reality that it would aid one in the path to becoming a True Emperor…It was something that caused even Alpha Strata LEGENDS to oversee it!
But what if this astounding destiny…was not naturally formed?
What if it was something uniquely set up?!
What exactly drew so many genius existences who had been forging their foundations over too many years into this Grotto Sanctum?
The question would be answered soon enough, and Noah was understanding more of the weaving of Destiny around them as they had remained in the same location for the past hour.
The dense and stifling essence of the Niflheim Dimension was even more pervasive in this region, with one needing to protect themselves with the Essence of Reality and TABOO authority constantly!
Noah and Katelyn were gazing at everything atop the Dragon Phoenix, the Mirror Essence and Destiny around Katelyn bursting at this moment as she gazed at the skies above that were also filled with gray mist.
"It should be soon."
HUUM!
Essence began to coil and rumble.
Noah nodded his head as he felt it as well, his heart at ease as his will was focusing on multiple crucial things at this time!
One was discerning the events that were blooming within the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, and the other was his main body seeking the path past absolute limitations in the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality.
'It seems the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum will reveal itself first…'
The ringing of destiny buzzed in his mind as he also gazed above in the skies.
There- amidst abundant mist and restrictions that didn't allow one to see anything…a golden star began to shine!
—
At the same time, outside of the Domain Rift that led into the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.
It had always been pulsating with a stellar purple blue luster as even after the first set of entrants went in, others could still continue to enter over time.
But at this moment, this reality sized Domain Rift instantly changed colors and became red, releasing a pulse of immense light!
HOONG!
A light that erupted out for a few light years before it began to recede into the Domain Rift that actually began to rapidly reduce in size and fold in on itself!
…!
From four different directions, the Wills of Four Alpha Strata LEGENDS moved at this sudden change as this whole area was bathed with glory.
Before an instant could even pass, incandescent rivers of Reality had wrapped around the folding Rift- the massive visage of the Alpha Strata Astral LEGENDS being the quickest as innumerable branches of the Infinite Willow Tree sank into the bounds of the Domain Rift and held it in place next!
BZZZT!
The Rift buzzed with heavy Reality altering power, but its infolding was stopped as a unique power came to cover everything in the surroundings and held it in place.
"..."
The wills from different directions were heavy as the masses of Primogenial and a few Beta Strata LEGENDS in the surroundings clamored to observe the changes.
From the direction of the Alpha Strata Astral LEGEND, a booming voice echoed out.
"It was a scheme."
…!
Changes bloomed outside of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum as its Gateway nearly forcefully closed, but the changes inside were becoming even more profound as the gray mist that covered everything began to churn!
HOOONG!
Destiny was put in motion.
Whatever the reasons and machinations…they all came out in the open as the veil of mist began to tremble and seethe, gradually beginning to disappear in the regions near the Chains of Reality that led many beings here.
Gradually, the gazes of many went up as the changes seemed to be stemming from the skies.
The prominent geniuses that stemmed from Lineages of Pure-Blooded Bloodlines from the Main Reality and those outside of it gazed up as at an incredibly high point in the skies, they could see a blinding light of a golden 'star' beginning to shine!
Golden rays of austere light were raining down as the source of the veil disappearing stemmed from an extremely high point in the skies- a point that seemed light years away.
Yet its brightness could even be felt from here when it was unveiled as its Origins had to be shocking.
It was rays of golden light, but they gradually turned into waves of light that pierced the veils of mist, things in the immediate surroundings gradually becoming clear as the barren gray earth could be seen.
The waves of golden light weren't mere luminescence as they shockingly carried an informative essence that could be understood by all those it washed down on!
The information could be understood by any beings who could easily grasp essence, and it was displayed differently for Noah as his system showed a magisterial golden text box that carried fantastical words.
The Heart of Destiny has begun to descend.
WAA!
His eyes released rays of luminous light as beside him, Katelyn's body began to vibrate with Mirror Essence as she repeated the words she had interpreted, her eyes actually holding traces of shock!
"The Heart of Destiny!"
The Dimensional Royalty who couldn't be easily swayed actually held a hint of shock when she read the information cascading down, but the situation was rapidly changing as the restrictions of vision were gradually lifted in the surroundings- with one being able to see everything nearby with ease as the gray mist was shaken by the rays of golden light.
Barren Lands filled with dead vegetation could be seen, blue ice lining up the areas further inward as the gray mist was still being dissipated there- and at a much slower pace than that.
But with the lifting of the gray veil, those who had climbed up the Chains of Reality could begin to sew those that had managed to climb in this region!
Some time had passed since the first sets of beings appeared on these lands, but many more had arrived since then as the number of Primordials that had appeared here wasn't small.
Whether through relying on the power of others or spending their TABOO authority and Essence of Reality to withstand the restrictions, they slowly appeared here as the truly weak geniuses were all weeded out!
What remained were the strongest of the strong- the geniuses who had all formed TABOO Edicts and had astounding destinies!
The generation of Emperors who would reign in the future to come.
Now, these geniuses could gaze at each other once more as when the surroundings cleared, many of their eyes lit up as they saw those they knew of or were familiar with.
The dazzling figure of Akaris adorned with pairs of wings on her back and feet was the untouchable visage at the very forefront that many locked their eyes to.
She had reached further than anyone else as she currently floated off the barren earth in front of billowing gray mist that seemed to rise up as an enormous wall that blocked the way forward- the area past this wall still being hidden as everything behind it was what became visible!
In this now visible area, one could see powerful Will Bearer groups and Obsidian Adjudicator Commanders with a few strongest members from their Legions, as well as the renowned figures of genius Limit Breakers from the Main Reality!
Juliette.
The Young Emperor.
Aegon.
Ezekiel.
Beings with astounding destiny began to be visible to the eyes of all as before these Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses could group up to discern this unique Grotto Sanctum and the words of Heart of Destiny they just heard, a particularly shocked and angry voice echoed out that drew in the wills of many.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
OOOOM!
The source was a vibrantly shining Dragon Phoenix with gold and black flaming scales, being part of the Dragon Phoenixes that followed Aegon.
His words drew in the attention of many as the wills of geniuses from the Astral, Dragon Phoenix, Reality Ursidae, Infinite Willow Tree, and Royal Human Bloodlines all turned their sight and wills toward the direction this existence was shouting to.
…!
The eyes of many constricted as there, with all the freedom and grandeur…two beings could be seen calmly sitting in front of the horns of the skull of a regal Dragon Phoenix.
A silver-dressed woman with white silver hair whose eyes shone of mysteries and were currently staring towards another location as she utterly ignored the booming words directed towards them.
And a devilishly handsome Royal Human adorned in simple obsidian pants and a loose shirt that showed off his tout muscles, his dark flowing hair shining with a sense of majesty as he gazed coldly at the shouting genius miles ahead while he used another Dragon Phoenix as a mount!
The eyes of the True geniuses that had managed to reach these lands constricted when they gazed at the unique scene right in front of a Chain of Reality and the glacial sea region behind it.
A scene of a magnificent Dragon Phoenix with a solidified crown swirling with the ecritures of VAS being used as a mount for two beings!
What was worse was that the prestige of this Dragon Phoenix was known- this existence being Andur of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage of the Main Reality!
Thus, an existence had shouted what the two beings were doing.
To dare to look down on the dignity of the Dragon Phoenixes like this!
It was also a question to Andur himself- as for what someone distinguished like him was doing allowing others to sit atop him!
The air condensed at this moment as time moved utterly slow in the eyes of many.
A bit less than half of all Pure-Blooded Primordials who had managed to reach this region were uniquely those who had chosen to break onto the Primogenial Strata and become LEGENDS in order to attain more treasures.
The one who had spoken…was a genius at the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy who depended on the group around Emperor Aegon to ascend.
He wasn't even a Limit Breaker!
OOOM!
'Yet…you dared to admonish me in such a way?'
Noah's thoughts buzzed as the tyranny at the depths of his Soul bubbled.
He had broken his Limits in all the Aspects of Existence as only other Limit Breakers could even imagine disturbing a hair on his body!
Only LEGENDS could possibly injure him!
So how could an existence that had merely forged a TABOO Edict after millions of years so comfortable as to shout in admonishment towards him?
'No.'
WAA!
This had to change.
The grandeur of the Tyrannical Emperor had to be established in order for random minor characters to not dare to raise their voices towards him like so!
This sense of tyranny that had been budding within Noah's Bloodline this while time erupted at this moment as under the gazes of all beings, an illusory authority of a single Black Ascendancy Halo flashed while he was still sitting down atop his mount, the glorious allure of Sever rushing out at speeds that only a few beings managed to see as in instant…
ZAP!
The enraged and astonished existence that had spoken felt his Origin rocked by an undeniable light as his Body and Soul were extinguished right after- his entire body turning into a poof of golden bloody light as even the hard bones of a Dragon Phoenix were pulverized!
…!
Shock flashed through the eyes of all these True Geniuses as nobody spoke for the next two seconds!
The visage of the powerful Dragon Phoenix that was Emperor Aegon vibrated with power as his majestic scales shone with a powerful sheen- having one of his people eradicated right before his eyes as the attack was too fast for him to even intervene.
Yet he didn't erupt as like many of the True Geniuses here, he was learned in Destiny and had lived for many millions of years.
Seeing the two existences sitting above Andur and even the power that Noah had just displayed, all beings here knew that he was someone powerful!
Someone that might even reach the Tiers of leading Emperors like Aegon, the Young Emperor, or even someone as astounding as Juliette.
Before they fully ascertained this, none of them would be too rash!
Yet even with all this, there was still the dignity of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline.
Seeing one of their own turned into a mount before their eyes was unacceptable, and seeing another turned into a mist of blood was even more dreadful!
"You dared."
HUUM!
Emperor Aegon was the one to speak next as 30 dazzling Ascendancy Halos flashed around him.
Noah looked at this creature that he quickly discerned to be a Limit Breaker at the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy with an astounding foundation as he spoke coldly with an air of unbound tyranny.
"A fool dared to disrespect my authority and speak in such a tone. He naturally had to pay the price."
…!
The mood turned heavy.
The meaning resounded in the minds of many!
The price for disrespecting this being's authority was death!
The eyes of the genius Infinite Willow Trees, Astral beings, Reality Ursidae, Dragon Phoenixes, and even the Royal Humans turned sharp at this scene as Emperor Aegon contained his bubbling power and spoke with utmost majesty.
"You are Alexander King, a follower of a Candidate Bloodline Emperor of the Royal Humans in the Pure-Blooded Domains. Yet the being you are standing atop of is of the Imperial Dragon Phoenix Lineage of the Main Reality!"
WAA!
"The genius you just killed is of the Golden Phoenix Lineage of the Main Reality!"
Yes!
These were beings who were distinguished and had purpose.
One could not just do what this Alexander was doing now, even if they themselves were from the Main Reality!
Not to mention the wills of all the surrounding geniuses knowing that he was supposedly only a Follower of a Candidate Bloodline Emperor.
Yet towards all of these assertions, Noah actually patted the purple gold scales of Andur who hadn't spoken a word as he said…
"So what?"
…!
Waves of destiny and tyranny rose as it became clear to all what the nature of this being was!
They felt boundless tyranny!
True and unfettered tyranny that didn't even put the distinguished geniuses of the Bloodlines from the Main Reality in his eyes!
As things became eerily quiet and Emperor Aegon seemed ready to erupt…
"Haha, well said!"
BZZT!
From a different direction, the visage of the genius of the Pure-Blooded Astral Bloodline- Juliette, appeared as she laughed boisterously.
Her astral stellar form was magnetic to see as surging flames surrounded her figure, Helen following behind her while looking at Noah with a careful look!
"So what if they are from distinguished Lineages from the Main Reality? If they went against the authority of another and were subjugated or killed…it just means their destiny and strength weren't up to par."
The voice of Juliette rang out in the minds of all as things became somewhat difficult to navigate, Noah turning towards this vivacious Astral Genius who while in the middle of everyone here spoke out ridiculous words while her blessed astral chest shone with splendor.
"You are interesting! How about a spar? If you win against this big sister here, you can have me as another one of your spoils!"
…!
Juliette's words caused the prominent Astral Geniuses to have dark expressions while Helen behind her clicked her lips while shaking her head.
At this same period of time, the Wills of many beings had their own thoughts and moments.
Besides Noah, Katelyn was gazing towards the direction of a pondering Ezekiel who was gazing with raised brows towards Noah- but she was focused on the figure of Nefertiti beside him that she sent a mental message to the moment she saw her!
"Sister."
The expression on Nefertiti experienced many emotions as she heard her voice, returning her words soon after.
"My dear sister, I thought you were still the little girl who didn't want or wish for any power! What's this now? You're putting a Dragon Phoenix of the Main Reality under you? You're seeking destiny within this Grotto Sanctum?! Haven't you…already been blessed with enough?!"
…!
Words that caused Katelyn's cold eyes to fluctuate with emotions rang in her mind as she could feel the dislike, jealousy, and hate from her sister.
Their relationship had long since become irreparable after so long, but she didn't think her sister would hate her this much!
That her envy and jealousy from Katelyn being blessed with too many things from the Mirror Dimension would fade after some time.
But…she was wrong.
It seemed that the emotions had only intensified over time as she let out a sigh.
This sigh when seen in Nefertiti's eyes caused immense feelings of inferiority and anger to rise in her mind, especially when she stared at the vibrant silvery ecritures swirling around her sister's crown!
To her, the sigh from Katelyn was that of her being looked down upon yet again. Compared against her yet again by her father and her friends and all those she knew.
'Why couldn't you be more like your sister?'
…!
These words repeated over and over again in her mind as the set emotions she felt towards Katelyn only intensified!
At the same time, the being beside her was gazing at Noah as his mind was calm and serene, saying something under his breath that only he could hear.
"Is it…him?"
A silent set of words that passed by without anyone's knowledge.
In another region, the Young Emperor was surrounded by golden waves of destiny as he raised his hands against his entourage and spoke with commitment!
"Do not make a move."
The bursts of destiny that this being was proficient in told him many things as he hid all his thoughts, his eyes holding a trace of amazement even as he saw a being from his race acting as the mount of this Alexander!
Those around him heeded his words as they waited to see how things would unfold, trusting the words of the Young Emperor a whole lot.
In another nondescript location, the visage of Genevieve who was in the form of a burly man was watching Noah coldly as her mind was buzzing with many things, where out of all Pure-Blooded Primordials here- she was the only one undergoing shocking changes as she could feel her Olden Bloodline bubbling!
She could feel…her ancient Bloodline bubbling as this wasn't at all something she expected from this Grotto Sanctum!
This feeling strongly seemed to be stemming in this new land- even further in where an enormous wall of gray mist was still veiling everything.
As she saw the rising a wall of billowing gray light where the deathly Essence from the Niflheim Dimension was the densest, Genevieve felt a strong calling that went through her blood and traced to her very soul.
The restrictions others felt all around them that required the expenditure of TABOO authority and the Essence of Reality…she actually didn't feel any of it at this moment!
So when she saw Noah's vibrant might and visage, she actually didn't despair as her destiny told her there should still be a possibility to devour this Chosen Emperor in the future.
This Chosen Emperor…who was currently staring down the figure of Emperor Aegon who had his Ascendancy Halos vibrating around him as he seemed ready to erupt right away.
After the words of Juliette who nearly calmed everything down, the billowing will of Aegon only continued to rise and bubble up.
Those around him did the same as their Ascendancy Halos erupted, the pride and dignity of the Dragon Phoenix running deep as even with the level of danger and power this being before then showed- they couldn't just leave things as is!
Aegon even went as far as sending mental messages to Ezekiel and the Young Emperor, asking for them to make a move against the enemy that stepped on their bloodline...yet he received no reply as his anger only rose to greater heights.
Amidst all this, there was the singular being who was the closest to the billowing gray wall of mist that hadn't been torn down yet.
The being who spoke without fear to Alpha Strata LEGENDS outside of the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum, and the one that many others didn't even compare themselves to!
It was the visage of Akaris, whose pairs of wings on her feet vibrated with power as her attention was entirely on what lay behind the veil of gray mist before her.
When things seemed to be deteriorating behind her- it was only then that she turned around with an entirely apathetic gaze.
A gaze that followed the scene of Aegon fusing with his Ascendancy Halos while he bellowed out!
"The Dignity of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline must not be tarnished!"
HUUUM!
An aurora of wings erupted not just from Aegon, but from all the nearby Dragon Phoenixes around him as they formed a formation behind him.
This existence was known for being a Limit Breaker of the Body, the now entirely golden scales and flames that surged around them being something that even beginner LEGENDS would be hard-pressed to get through.
He showed the grandeur and majesty of the race of Dragon Phoenixes as their target…
"Hmm…"
Noah's destiny buzzed as he saw a straightforward path to begin establishing his identity.
The beings around him did not respect anything but power and Lineage.
He would show them…the gap in power as he prepared for the shocking unfolding of a Nexus Event the moment that the walled veil of gray mist in the far away distance dropped!
An unfolding event that with Noah's current understanding of Destiny as the Dictum Emperor neared TABOO…it showed a genuinely bleak future for this True Sanguine Clone!
The moment that the prompt about the Heart of Destiny arose, this intuition thundered down.
Yet…Noah was unfazed.
Because he knew the tried and tested method over the last year where he had been moving with power!
The times when his life was threatened the most…were also the times he would obtain the greatest boons if he managed to survive.
Since fate was not looking too bright at this moment from the discernment of Destiny, he would simply change this fate.
If breaking his LIMITS in all Aspects of his Existence wasn't enough, he would simply become a LEGEND!
But this was the last resort.
His very being still felt the possibility of exceeding his current foundation as his Main Body was moving busily in the Infinite Reality to bring this to fruition.
As for what lay behind the walled veil that could threaten him and the geniuses here?
'Well, we'll know very soon. But before that…'
BOOOOM!
30 Ascendancy Halos fused into his body as an aurora of wings erupted from his back, his figure flashing away from the skull of the silent Andur as he shot out towards the magisterial visage of Aegon!
At speeds most beings couldn't even match.
Emperor's Haki.
HUUUM!
His domineering and tyrannical Haki that could be infused into words and even his thoughts came to wrap around his whole body.
His authority was infused into his very limbs as every move from him would use up an unknown number of units of the Essence of Reality to dish out over 10 Million Dimensional Damage Values depending on his target!
SHAA!
Time was moving infinitely slow.
Noah's visage moved all the way from the back as he instantly appeared in the area where Aegon and his cluster of Dragon Phoenixes were powering up.
Golden surging flames were coiling and burning around the scales of this glorious being as his draconic head spat out flames of anger, his eyes managing to just slightly follow Noah's speed as a molten Dragon's Breath just began to surge out!
Yet to Noah, this seemed extremely slow as he appeared in the skies above this genius Emperor with his hands in the pockets of his obsidian pants as he looked laid back.
With utmost disdain, his right foot that was wrapped up with Emperor's Haki came down on the majestic skull of a Pure-Blooded Dragon Phoenix with surging resplendent flames!
200,000 Units of the Essence of Reality burned within his body as this was determined to be the cost against his current target for every attack thrown out with Emperor's Haki.
His foot bore down with immense authority as it dazzled the eyes of all those who could follow his speed and had turned their eyes over, a shocking impact following soon after!
BOOOM!
An impact of utter glory.
Golden pillars of molten flames roared as the whole area erupted and caved in, the figures of multiple magnificent Dragon Phoenix thrown and pushed back from this area as the target of the attack…
"ROAAAR!"
Was bellowing out with a heavy and wrathful voice from the depths of its soul as a tyrannical foot of a single being remained pressing down on its jaws- the pressure bearing down causing its bones to crackle as Emperor's Haki moved to immobilize this being.
The surging flames faded just a little as the scene became somewhat clear.
With his hands in his pockets and his feet stepping on the draconic skull of a Dragon Phoenix with a swirling solidified crown, the visage of the Tyrannical Emperor could be seen as his whole body was suffused with resplendence- every strand of his dark hair radiating immense sandy golden light as he seemed unmatched!
His eyes were cold and tyrannical as they surged with multicolored stellar light, the secrets of Reality seemingly hidden within as they gazed at everything with coldness.
His flesh itself seemed to be buzzing with power as the sandy golden glow expertly moved around it with every move, his figure becoming engraved onto the eyes of all beings here as they wouldn't be able to forget him after today!
Waves of destiny surged as golden flames burned up high around a certain region!
The visage of Alexander King could be seen as his hands were cooly tucked in the pockets of his shimmering obsidian pants, his feet stepping onto Emperor Aegon as the golden scales of this genius creaked with friction and power.
The geniuses watching had their Wills vibrate with care as they developed an even greater understanding of this new being that seemed to rival the highest geniuses here, his figure being inscribed in their eyes as they put him among the list of beings they couldn't reach!
As for Noah himself, his Will was actually focused on reading destiny while his authority boundlessly surged down to keep the figure of Aegon on the cold and gray glacial floor while also keeping the entourage that was around him away.
The 'fight' here at this moment wasn't even something to take seriously.
A Limit Breaker in one Aspect against one who had exceeded all three Aspects?
This wasn't even a question as unless Aegon broke into Reality, he couldn't even threaten Noah!
What Noah was focused on was reading the destiny of the unfolding events in this Grotto Sanctum as it seemed the great danger would be revealed soon.
Establishing his dominance would have to end in the next minute as after that…he could already see that the weaving of destiny would become utterly rampant as even he wouldn't be able to have a sense of control in what was to come.
"OOOOH!"
The Will of Aegon below him roared as this being tried to break from Noah's will successfully, but Emperor's Haki kept him down as the golden scales on his skull began to crack- this scene even causing the surrounding Dragon Phoenixes to pull back slightly as they didn't rush in!
At such a juncture…
"Enough."
…!
A word echoed out in the ears of all as the glimmering pairs of wings on the feet and back of a singular existence flashed with light as she spoke.
It was a word that seemed to be more of a command than a suggestion as the visage of Akaris palpated with profound power!
She had turned to observe everything in this direction with her attention as Noah's gaze rose to meet this unique being far away in the distance.
Akaris.
An existence that when Lavalliere first came across…she told Noah things were bound to be hard in this Grotto Sanctum!
Among the many beings here, she was among the few that Noah could confidently say he couldn't eradicate, the only possibility lying in him pulling out his strongest True Form.
She seemed to be covered by a golden glow constantly, her body adorned by tightly clasping battle armor as her hair shone with strands of gold, her eyes and nose sharp as her demeanor alone carried the prestige of an established Empress!
She was still in the Firmaments of Ascendancy…and she gave such an astounding pressure as Noah expected her to have exceeded 2 Limits of her Aspects of Existence, on top of having one more unique feature that caused her to exude a shocking sense of power.
What this feature was…he did not yet know.
But even with all of these factors, the tyrannical will of the Unnamed Kainos Emperor would not be so easily reigned as while gazing into the piercing golden eyes of this profound existence and while under the watch of many beings…Noah's left foot applied more force and will as the defenses on the shimmering golden scales that covered the left side of Aegon's skull shattered!
…!
BOOM!
A splendor of flames and gold exploded out as half of the skull was smashed in- golden crimson blood flying out and bathing everything as the guttural voice of Aegon rang out when he suffered immense damage!
Amidst all this, the shimmering head of the Tyrannical Emperor rose as he looked straight towards the unknown figure of Akaris without fear!
His hair danced wildly as from afar, Juliette's eyes only shone brighter as her own body nearly erupted with power- her gaze that of excitement when she gazed at Noah's astounding visage.
Others watched with blank expressions as they didn't expect this being to not even pay heed or respect to someone that could freely talk to even Alpha Strata LEGENDS.
She had a unique status that many of those here couldn't even fathom!
Who could talk back to her? Who could dare to even gaze at her with such an unyielding gaze?
Were those not from the Main Reality so bold these days?!
Yet the tyranny of this being wasn't done as while his hair waved with the cold winds, he stared into the golden eyes of Akaris while speaking out calmly.
"I should stop just because you said so?"
WAA!
His will seemed to surge and coagulate around his figure as even though he didn't display any crown above him, the illusion of an Emperor with a glorious path of blood forming around him as the now cautious geniuses waited to see how Akaris would respond!
And shockingly…
She merely stared with a level of utmost calm as she didn't seem angered at the very least.
She instead replied in a calm manner while her thumb pointed to the billowing area of gray mist behind her.
"No, you should stop because we will need all the strength we can get against what lies behind here."
Her eyes released a profound golden light as she spoke, and the veil of mist behind her coincidentally began to fade.
BZZZT!
The minds of many beings buzzed as at first, they noticed the golden star that had appeared far above began to descend even more, its rays of golden light finally affecting even these billowing misty lands before them.
The skies began to clear first as outlines of shocking things began to be seen across the golden rays of light!
The gray wall of mist began to rumble and gradually fade as it left behind a thin and clear transparent barrier.
…!
A transparent barrier that allowed the Pure-Blooded Primordial Geniuses to see just what was hidden from their eyes.
Maybe it was imaginary, but one could distinctly hear audible gulps of shock and fear.
Unconsciously, some geniuses even had their feet move back without their commands as they pulled back.
This was because the scene behind the transparent barrier was utterly dreadful and horror inducing as utter silence reigned except for the voice of a single existence whose wings shone with utmost brightness!
"Those of you who haven't become LEGENDS and are not Limit Breakers…now would be the time to break through. Even the Limit Breakers...it would serve you best to also break through now."
WAA!
