For Noah, a lot could change in a matter of days!
Like even at this instance, he was only wondering of the best possible paths forward as there were many.
On his side, he could make a crucial choice right now that he was still affirming with his understanding in Destiny among many others.
He had 30 Grotto Panaceas on hand as they were enough to have him complete his first Dimensional Layer...or grant him 6 more Ultima Strata Automatons!
For him, he only had the question of efficiency in his mind as when he pondered on what he could do, the factor to look at was whether he would attain Ultima Strata power after establishing his first Dimensional Layer.
And the answer was no, with the completion of the Dream Dimensional Reality putting him close to this stage, but not entirely there! It seemed that halfway up the second Dimensional Layer or its completion would be equivalent to the Ultima Strata Stage!
In terms of efficiency, so long as Noah took the Ultima Strata Stage, he could deploy his True Sanguine Clones that would exceed any Automatons of the same stage.
But if he could control 6 more Ultima Strata Automatons...he could deploy them across the Dimensions he was moving in to also attain even more loot!
A game of choices came once more as Noah's eyes flashed powerfully.
There was still loot coming in and there were still preparations to be made.
Noah would continue to devour the lesser False Grotto Nacres, Liquified Soul Seas, and Physique Refining Pearls to still build up his Dimensional Layer while also elevating Dream Automatons to the Alpha Strata stage just to have them ready in case he took another path.
At the same time, he gazed at Seeds of Nature that contained wisps of multiple Natural Laws as well as the Dictum Emperor that he was infusing with wisps of only the Essence of Polarity.
He gazed at Concept Amalgamation and Skill Succession as he planned!
He had time in all these plans as after getting more information from destiny and his Clones moving across Dimensions, he could make a choice soon enough!
In a majority of the Dimensions he was moving in, there was Conquest and bloodshed.
And then there was Avalon.
Being led by a Prince of the 12 Domains of Avalon, there was actually little action as this being was proficient in what he did- getting Noah across the domain of the Enchantress Morgana and closer to his Father's domain so they could get even closer to the Sword of Avalon!
The environment always made Noah light up his inner self that loved the wonders he saw as comparing the vast stretching golden sandy landscapes of the Dream Dimension, the hellish magma pillars of flames rising up in the crimson skies of the Apollyon Dimension, and then there were the beautiful floating islands released purple waterfalls of essence as far as the eye could see in the Avalon Dimension.
It felt like a dream as he moved to accomplish his aims, the scenes of Avalon passing by quickly as Lancelot led Noah across the Domains easily until they neared a massive floating island that could be seen many light years away- an island the size of hundreds of Realities out together.
"One of the 12 Domains of Avalon, the Dragon Knight's Sanctum- and the one my father reigns over. So long as Enchantress Morgana's forces aren't actively moving about here, we should be free to get through. So long as I can get the support of my father, I will at least be able to grant you a chance to near the Sword of Avalon."
The purple hair on Ezekiel waves in the beautiful hues of the skies they floated on as Noah nodded while locking his gaze onto Ezekiel.
"Then, let's make the job even easier. Let me have a few drops of your Blood."
"...huh?"
The burly and handsome Ezekiel/Lancelot blinked at Noah's request, but seeing Noah's serious expression, he used his sword to decisively cut open his left hand as streams of gorgeous crimson gold blood filled with purple hues came out and surged towards Noah who...reached out and absorbed it through his fingers!
He...couldn't start Dual Cultivating with Lancelot to attain the Bloodlines and Physiques of a Dimensional Royalty, but he could just take the blood of this being to utilize Hematopoietic Progenitor on to duplicate the Bloodline of an Avalonian Royalty.
This would make the current path they were on even smoother as for the Avalon Dimension...Noah had yet to see any blood on his path towards the Sword of Avalon!
But this….was very different for the Apollyon Dimension.
In the Rosebud Domain, at the very core of it where the Incubus Emperor was having a feast with his people.
His Legions were mobilized and surrounding everything nearby as the Commanders on the highest golden platforms where the celebration was taking place…the vast majority of them lay eradicated as at this moment, the terrifying Dream Automaton was sinking its sharp spearlike limbs into the body of this powerful existence.
"Huk…" Crimson gold blood sputtered out of the mouth of this being as his Aspects of Existence were lulled to the realm of Dreams, his robust foundation and powerful might taken down in a way he could have never imagined, by a being he never thought of nor knew!
He was known to be on the weaker side of the Ultima Strata Rulers as due to this, he had even sacrificed his daughter to the Mad Orc Daemon Commander to avoid battle as when he faced a Dream Automaton equipped with the Decretum of Dreams and holding unique abilities that didn't have even half of their might shown...what could he do?
Name: Dream Automaton #1
Lineage: Infinite Dream Automatons
Realm: Reality
Titles: Overpowered Construct...
True Dimensional Vitality Values: 200 Billion
Innate Ultima Barrier: 100 Billion
Reserves of Essence of Reality: 50 Million
Mana: 1,500 Trillion
Destiny: - Fate: -…
Overall Battlepower: Ultima Strata
It was a creature whose very title stated that it was an Overpowered Construct!
Its Destiny and Fate had nothing to discern from as it was merely a Construct of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor as the Incubus Emperor Eranelon...he could do nothing against such a monster.
The eyes of this Emperor that had lived for Millions of years lost their light while gazing at the incredulous scene of his daughter sitting on the lap of a devilishly handsome Daemon situated on a throne...the Daemon that would take his hard work and labor from here onwards!
'How ridiculous...'
This was the only thought in his mind before his Aspects of Existence entered a deafening slumber!
HOONG!
A lustrous surge of pink flames barreled upwards as the wills of many Succubi and Incubi that were held up by the might of their Emperor crashed down.
+10,000 Ultima Blood Pearls have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+100 Empyral Physique Refining Pearls obtained.
+10,000 Plasmoid Soul Drops have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+100 Plasmoid Soul Seas have been obtained.
+25 Reality Panaceas have been obtained… DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…+25 Grotto Panaceas have been obtained.
25 Kainos Dimensional Resource points have been obtained...
The Loot from a single Ultima Strata existence flowed down as many more prompts followed, but Noah only breezed over them as the most crucial ones already came.
The crucial Loot that had made his decision on which path he would take for utmost efficiency from here on!
BZZZT!
His imposing Will and Haki began to surge out with the death of the Incubus Emperor as it held a somewhat somber and sad tone.
Hecate Eranelon gazed at her father's empty husk as she took it as a reminder, taking only a few seconds to mourn for him as an instant later, her crimson wings unfurled as her eyes shone with powerful flames, rising up from Noah's throne as she gazed at the Legions of Incubi and Succubi coming to this location from the surrounding regions while crimson gold blood of Alpha and Beta Strata Commanders still flowed on the golden platform they were on.
"My father's rule...has ended!"
HUM!
Hecate rose to the skies to declare this while Noah's throne made of the Decretum of Apollyon rose to the skies, the menacing Ultima Strata Automaton floating beside him while the curvaceous figure of Hecate Eranelon pulsed with the Bloodline power of Royalty while she continued.
"He was someone who sacrificed his own daughter to keep his Hegemony- someone weak that you did not need to follow. We now have a protector to oversee this domain and many more- a Master I serve as with my will and Royal Lineage of the Golden Succubus, I command you all to do the same!"
WAA!
Her fair face carried an alluring trace of power and might as in the skies, she gazed at the crimson black throne of essence and the being that sat atop it coldly.
Her voice had projected far and wide as it covered all the incoming forces of Incubi and Succubi, the scene in the skies clear to all as the only remaining member of the Royal Family...took the lead of falling to her knees towards the Daemon on the crimson black throne.
"Pay fealty to the one who will lead us with power and grace across the Apollyon Dimension...pay fealty to the Daemon of Tyranny that will propel us to the peak of power in this Region and even further beyond!"
...!
The existences of the Apollyon Dimension thrived on power and destruction.
They only followed those who were powerful as this spoke to them the most, so seeing their own Ruler so easily decimated while his own Lineage paid fealty to the Daemon who had done it...the rest of them had no complaints as they knew they weren't stronger than the Incubus Emperor!
So with Hecate Eranelon as the first...the few remaining Alpha Strata LEGENDS followed.
HUUM!
The burning light of Conquest began to emanate from the Daemon of Tyranny and bathe the surroundings as the many Beta and Primogenial Strata LEGENDS followed, with the weaker ones not being a second later as they did the same!
From the central point of the Rosebud Domain and to its periphery that was many Realities vast in size...the Tyrannical light of Conquest expanded out as the first Dimensional Bloodljne subjugated itself to the Daemon of Tyranny.
"We pledge Fealty to the Daemon of Tyranny..."
"We pledge Fealty to the Daemon of Tyranny...!"
A symphony was resounding in the skies to usher in a new rule, the crimson wings of many Succubi and Incubi yielding and bowing towards the Daemon of Tyranny- dazzling True Stars of Conquest beginning to arise from all across this domain as they were numbering in the hundreds!
This...was only the Rosebud Domain that fell under the shadow of a principality of the Hellish Pontiff Lucius.
There were many domains to still Lord over as the bowing Hecate took initiative at this moment, floating towards her Master who she saw to be taking in pristine soul essence from all those pledging fealty as she spoke sonorously.
"Master, the Rosebud Domain is under you as we are on the fringes of the Burning Earth Palace. How do you wish to proceed?"
The Burning Earth Palace!
Under the Hellish Pontiff Lucius, who reigned over half of the Apollyon Dimension, he distinguished his lands under a few domains.
The one where the Hellish Pontiff resided in and had his Prime Apollyon Daemon Royal Lineage rule was known as the Crimson Hell Palace- an expansive domain equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Realities in size as it consisted of three expansive domains within it.
Within this Crimson Hell Palace that was half of the Apollyon Dimension were the distinguished Domains under the Hellish Pontiff Lucius where his strongest Commanders and Rulers reigned over- the Great Magma Sea Palace, Bloody Skies Palace, and the Burning Earth Palace.
The other half of the Apollyon Dimension where the Dimensional Hellion Ruler Lilith ruled over was known as the Apollyon Sanctuary Plains which consisted of the Mahayana Palace and the Sanctuary of Hatred.
The Daemon Orc Ravine Noah had arrived in and the Rosebud Domain were contained within the Burning Earth Palace under the Dimensional Hellion Ruler Lucius as Noah...had a great range of freedom and versatility on how he could move!
He had only taken over a small Domain within the Burning Earth Palace as there were the equivalent Great Magma Sea Palace and Bloody Skies Palace for him to go into and conquer, and then after all these were the domains under the Dimensional Deceiver herself!
It was a long and strenuous path ahead of him as when he stared at all the Daemons bowing towards him...he knew it would only be a matter of time.
"We will not be waiting to see the response of the Mad Orc Daemon Commander. As soon as the preparations are complete...we shall make a move."
...!
After eliminating the Incubus Emperor Eranelon, his Loot allowed Noah to make a choice on the path to take as with the loot on hand, the time came for him to complete his first Dimensional Layer.
His Tri-Pupiled eyes carried a trace of devilishness as he smiled.
'It has been over a day since I established it... it is about time that I complete it.'
The maddening ridiculousness of his pace revealed itself as after coming out of the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest, a day and a half had passed as this was enough for Noah to make the choice of going from Alpha Strata to Ultima Strata!
In this short period of time that others may not have done much, he had distributed his Clones to multiple Dimensions and converted the Aspects of Existence of powerful beings into fuel for his own purposes.
Who else was doing this?
Who else could say they stood out as an exceptional Emperor of this Age?!
Who else but the Quintessential Kainos Emperor?!
The Clones deployed across Dimensions and Realities became serious and stern in their actions as a critical moment came.
In the Dimensional Holy Land, the massive body of the Preponderant Irminsul changed and fluctuated as it faded away to reveal Noah's stellar human form, showing a being whose very wisps of hair carried a stellar Cosmic light that was radiant with a hue of gold.
His eyes carried terrifying magnetism as they shone with three pupils, half of his body was entirely painted stellar gold as it showed trillions of rotating Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos above an expansive golden plane filled with rolling sand dunes and magnificent mountains!
His first Dimensional Layer.
He had 9 to forge as he had attained the resources to complete the first one, and so he would move like he always did and grasp this opportunity as he prepared to advance.
With the constant devouring of the Dream Dimension by the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality, certain portions of this Reality were fully bathed in Dream Essence and pure landmass that could be distinguished as the Dream Dimension, Noah's main body weaving through space and appearing in the centermost location where all incoming devoured landmass of the Dream Dimension was proliferating.
It was an area of dense propagation of Dream Essence as the space was filled with sandy gold Seas of essence that rolled powerfully- the area that birthed new Dream Cosmos and had the densest coiling of energy in the whole Infinite Reality!
It was here that Noah floated at the center of while waving his hands to call out 30 massive and radiant Grotto Panaceas.
They released a multicolored light as they looked like massive flowers of life, their petals beginning to unfold slowly as their essence was being streamed towards only a single being!
Lavalliere watched this scene silently as even she didn't know what the results of all this would be.
Not too long ago, he was labeled as the enemy of this Dimension.
Now, he wanted to complete it as what changes would take place when a second Dream Dimension was established? Especially if it was done within another person's Origin!
Since it was an unexploded territory, they would see the changes for themselves soon enough.
HOONG!
The dance of dense concentrations of essence began to surge as the potent workings of the Grotto Panacea flowed into Noah's Origin, beginning their process smoothly as each one was equivalent to 3 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos!
Noah took everything in as he floated majestically in the vibrant stellar golden space, beginning to watch the propagation of Cosmos and land in his Dimension as this whole process was in two parts.
Expanding the Dimensional plane that acted as the earth below, and the Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos that swirled majestically above.
The Essence of the Grotto Panaceas floated equally onto both aspects of Noah's Origin as billions of singularities began to bloom every second!
The Golden land expanded and contracted as it spread outwards in size while the massive Cosmos grew and bloomed as if they weren't the hardest thing to form.
It was extremely hard for Noah to advance in his newly enacted Realm, and yet his pace was utterly shocking at this moment as the number of his Cosmos grew.
Grotto Panaceas has their petals entirely used up as they faded into stellar particles of dust, sacrificing their essence to elevate the Quintessential Kainos Emperor.
35 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos.
40 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos.
With the right tools in place, the speed was explosive as the Loot did its job exceedingly well, and the boundaries of the Dream Dimensional Plane expanded immensely as Noah forged forward!
Until...50 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos were reached.
BZZZT!
Tendrils of beautiful lightning like golden light surged over his beautiful figure as his whole vision illuminated bright gold, prompts rising before his eyes.
Your Maximum Reserves of the Essence of Reality have risen to 100 Million.
Your Maximum Reserves of Dream Essence have risen to 1 Billion.
The Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality now grants 40,000 base boosts to Damage and Defense Values..
Your rate of Progression in the Decretum of Dreams has increased by 100,000%
Your understanding of the Decretum of Dreams has been forcefully increased to 12.5%
Your Maximum True Vitality Values have risen to 75 Billion.
WAA!
Glorious light pervaded outwards as dense life force accompanied it, the origin of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor that was connected to his Body and Soul exploding with immense life and majesty that the surrounding space trembled!
And this was only the halfway mark.
Only the halfway mark had granted Noah the highest percentage in any Decretum or Natural Law as the Decretum of Dreams rose to 12.5%!
Other gains and stats were even more ridiculous as Noah continued, intent on sewing how grand the changes would be when this Dimensional Layer was fully complete.
At the same time as he did this, some imperceptible changes were occurring in the Dream Dimension as the very hue of its skies began to change.
Its calm and gracious demeanor wavered as Dream Storms began to rise explosively.
At the same time, the Dimensional Rulers of this vast stretching domain became utterly grim as they received yet another point of communication from a Will that at this point couldn't even speak freely!
The Authority of the Dream Dimension is being encroached upon.
WAA!
Eliminate the Dimensional Inimicus.
Eliminate the Dimensional Inimicus!
It seemed to be taking great effort and valor to even send out its will, and yet it did so without delay as something shocking that no beings in the previous Ages could have predicted occurred!
An Enemy of their Dimension had risen as he was moving at a pace so fast that it was incomprehensible!
Did he not just begin encroaching on the authority of the Dimension? How had it reached such a drastic point now that the Will of the Dream Dimension was calling for the elimination of this being right away?
And how could they find him so quickly when they had just begun to search?!
What was unlucky for them and a wondrous progression of events was that the being they were looking for was greatly masked by a terrifying tool that there were only a few of in the vast Realities and Dimensions.
The Heart of Destiny silently triggered its abilities as the direction that destiny was surging to was unknown!
The Dimensional Rulers that controlled powerful domains and Empires moved at this moment as they sent out commands.
"Wade across the Dimension! Find the Dimensional Inimicus!"
The forces of powerful existences were stirred as they began to move to look for an unknown enemy.
But how could this unknown enemy be so easily found when he was taking such a shockingly unheard of route that even though he was encroaching upon the authority of the Dream Dimension- he was doing it outside and inside as both he and his Dimensional Reality were doing the same thing!
The only distinction was that what he was doing was immensely faster as the replication of the Dream Dimension wasn't just recreating a concept.
It was taking what this Dimension stood for as this was an action that would have drastic consequences, consequences that even Noah had yet to know about.
HOOONG!
The waves of essence didn't stop as back in the Dimensional Holy Land, the Grotto Panaceas continued to unfurl and release their essence as the process continued.
And this was another point to keep in mind when looking at the whole situation.
With the 20,000:1 Time Dilation of the Infinite Reality, the time that passed between the warnings and commands of the latent Will of the Dream Dimension was very little.
Just as Dimensional Rulers began to move to locate this enemy...what he was doing would be completed before they could even assemble their forces!
HOONG!
Tendrils of essence surged out as the halfway point was passed, 60 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos being forged at this moment.
Noah's body was releasing Innate waves of Dream Essence at this point in time as even the area he floated around was affected, a magnetized pull emanating from him as the Essence that was surging into the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality due to the Pocket Dimensional Reality in the Dream Dimension...this essence began to rapidly pick up!
The pace that the Pocket Dimensional Reality or really, the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon was devouring the Dream Dimension increased as the devoured lands of this Dimension began to disappear even faster.
70 Trillion.
90 Trillion!
OOOM!
An air of majesty and power descended as the solidified crown floating above the backbone of the Throne shone with Resplendent light, the bottom of this crown gradually becoming painted gold as a band of this color wrapped over the entirety of the bottom of this crown!
A halcyon golden color unlike anything Noah had ever seen exploded out at this junction as every part that made him shone resplendently.
An astonishing radiance that was blinding to the eyes as...100 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos were forged.
"..."
At this moment, it felt like all time came to a halt.
The halcyon waves of gold stopped.
The constant movement of essence and what made up the very fabric of Reality stopped.
Silence.
Utter and complete silence overcame everything as even Noah had an inexplicable sensation that would make any other common being erupt in fear.
He couldn't feel a single thing- not even his own body and Origin as this alone was enough to terrify any being who knew of themselves and their power!
He could only barely feel his consciousness as in the deafening silence, there was also immense darkness!
HUUM!
His soul buzzed as he contained himself.
There was no fear.
He only waited.
It felt like he could hear a distant calling...and yet at the same time not.
...oah!
Yes.
He could hear a voice!
Noah!
BOOM!
As if he had received a jolt, the voice of Lavalliere rang out in his mind as it only acted as the spark to bring back some sensation.
The darkness and silence slowly began to fade as a point of light bloomed.
This point of light brought forth a scene that caused Noah's will to shudder, a scene that was hidden in the darkness and only made visible to him now because of his recent actions!
In the darkness, he could see countless and immeasurable stellar rivers of light contained in a constantly changing space.
The rivers of light seemed to be constantly multiplying and stretching this space further as shockingly, 9 massive objects surrounded this constantly twisting space! 9 objects that expanded in size outwards and became as thin as a point of a needle when they sank into the constantly changing space filled with endless rivers of light!
They sank into it fervently and with immense power as each one shone with its own distinct light- one being pure Gold, another being Silver...Purple, Black, Verdant, Crimson...!
The colors were vibrant and shocking as these nine objects acted like Anchors that sunk into this constantly twisting space, these Anchors having their bright lights shining unstable every now and then as the points where they were connected were getting influenced ever so slightly.
This influence caused subtle changes that couldn't be stopped at the 9 points of light also seemed to be expanding!
THUMP!
At this juncture, Noah's will was pulled towards the golden Anchor.
It was massive in size as it seemed different from all the others, Noah feeling a connection to it he didn't have with the others as he...felt an instinct overcome him.
An instinct...that caused his will that didn't have any sense to surge towards the massive golden pike.
He felt somewhat connected to it...as if he could affect it!
When he saw how far down it sunk into the constantly twisting mass of rivers of light, he instinctually wanted to ease this burden even a little.
So...his surging will that was connected to the massive golden pike pulled upwards.
...!
RUUUUUUMBLE!
His actions instantly caused a shocking change and phenomenon as from the golden pike he had enveloped, a wrathful sensation surged out maddeningly!
A latent Will of immense power and wrath as it instantly caused him to be thrown away from this shocking scene he saw.
The 9 massive Anchors of light faded as shockingly, the golden one could be seen lifted just a little bit higher than all the others.
It wasn't as fully sunken in as it was and this...this caused a shocking and fundamental change in a long kept balance!
A fundamental change brought about by instinct!
And its consequences...were simply too widespread to grasp.
In the Boundary Between Realities.
A Dimensional crack bloomed in the void as it spat out a dark-haired vivacious woman who was supported side by side with two Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead that towered over her like titans.
Her expression was that of annoyance and somberness as she breathed in the essence of the Boundary Between Realities, content on being back here as she detested the cold and dreary atmosphere of the Niflheim Dimension!
"Whole Legion wiped out and fucking Eckert uses the Kun Peng Empyral Bone to silently try assimilating the soul of a dying Grotto Haven expert...and that isn't even the least of it."
Europa's vivacious figure began to move as the two Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead beside her followed, the somberness in her eyes increasing as she continued to speak to herself while she moved!
"I have to warn them...it is not simply a mere alliance that the Ancient Races are forging with Dimensional Races. The casualties will be astronomical if they go in like this..."
She was rushing back to the Main Reality as Eckert had put two Abyssal Gigantomachia Undead to escort her while he played a dangerous dance with destiny, her aim being none other than the Main Reality as she had to pass the information they had collected!
But just as she began to cross the Boundary Between Realities...
HOOOONG!
Space twisted and coiled as in the next instant, an explosive force of Natural Law Essences erupted out along with surges of incandescent blue Mana!
They didn't just erupt from the region she was in, but all across the Boundary Between Realities and any nearby rivers of Reality that pulsed as if they began to expand at this very moment.
"What the fuck is happening now...!" Europa cursed under her breath as she witnessed this shocking scene that seemed to only be increasing in its effects!
Boundless surges of essence bloomed as the most fundamental changes of all occurred in the far away Main Reality.
Its skies became painted with a multicolored aurora of light as the massive Empyral Domains of Nature that Noah's Clone was still in one of...these domains experienced the most changes as the Essence of Natural Laws vehemently increased in concentration and density as any beings currently in any of such domains would greatly benefit!
It was a surge of the concentration of essence across the Infinite Realities that was an immediate effect.
The multitude of other effects were currently unknown as things were just beginning!
The Dream Dimension was shaking.
No, not necessarily shaking- but it could instead be said that it was seething!
Countless storms of sandy gold light raged as in the minds of the Dimensional Rulers that carried the will of their Dimension, a piercing voice echoed out.
The Dimensional Inimicus is in the Desolate Mausoleum!
BOOOM!
Descend unto the Desolate Mausoleum and eradicate the Dimensional Inimicus!
An explosive burst of information surged out as 3 Dimensional Rulers looked at it in a stupor.
The enemy that was encroaching upon the authority of the Dream Dimension was not even in this Dimension.
"The Desolate Mausoleum...once more these vile existences do something to upset the very workings of Nature!"
WAA!
The Dimensional Rulers were divided by their domains from afar, but one of them exploded out at this moment as terrifying wrath built up within him.
The Dimensional Walls had been getting thin this whole time as their people could move in and out.
And now with the support of the very Dimension...
"Prepare the forces and assemble the Legions. We shall seek the Dimensional Inimicus in the Desolate Mausoleum!"
...!
A shocking advancement bloomed as the future turned murky and chaotic at this moment!
Forces of the Dream Dimension were to be deployed to search for the Enemy of their Dimension in the vast Realities, and yet it wasn't known that a Clone of this enemy was already making moves in the Dream Dimension.
The Latent Will of the Dream Dimension was only able to sense a location after a shocking action was done, but how had it still not been able to sense the movements of the Quintessential Dimensional Body?
The reverberations of a wrathful will followed Noah as his consciousness sunk away from the scene he had just access to.
His vision and senses returned as he felt his own body- his own body that also felt a little bit foreign as it surged with boundless power and strength!
The bottom half of his body shone with an incandescent golden glow as a dazzling band of gold light illuminated everything, the illusory image of 100 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos swirling above this band being apparent as this was the first Dimensional Layer!
It was an unheard of achievement that Noah had accomplished while also being given the chance to peer into a shocking truth!
At this time, a myriad of Prompts that he had not been able to see surged in.
You have successfully completed the First Dimensional Reality.
Your Authority as an Emperor of this Age significantly increases.
You have gazed at the truth of Reality. The rate of understanding the Natural Laws and Decretum of Dimensions is greatly increased.
Through your reign over the Dream Dimension Reality, a level of influence can be exerted in the Dream Dimension.
You have grasped an Undefined Authority. Its usage is hard to grasp and understand as you may not be able to actively trigger it.
"..."
An Undefined Authority!
There was much to be learned and understood as when Noah gazed at himself and his Aspects of Existence, he realized he had been wrong.
He had expected and planned for the changes of the establishment of the First Dimensional Layer to be grand, but it was nothing like what he sensed right now!
The scene he saw and his actions as well as the prompts before his eyes...it was all too astounding as this was just the first trench of the many shocking prompts.
There were still many more that boundlessly followed!
Stupendous sensations were going through Noah's body as he felt the many changes, the full completion of the First Dimensional Layer coming with too many surprises as the prompts continued.
Your Maximum Reserves of the Essence of Reality have risen to 150 Million.
Your Maximum Reserves of Dream Essence have risen to 10 Billion.
The Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality now grants 80,000 base boosts to Damage and Defense Values..
Your rate of Progression in the Decretum of Dreams has increased by 1,000,000%
Your understanding of the Decretum of Dreams has been forcefully increased to 25%
Your Maximum True Vitality Values have risen to 100 Billion.
The Maximum number of Ascendancy Halos you can enact has been raised to 150.
The elevation of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique during the assimilation with the Mythical Natural Born Apollyon Physique has been affected and undergone an even greater mutation.
Your Dream Dimensional Body and Soul are undergoing fundamental changes.
"..."
Power.
Power coursed through him along with boundless life force as even though the Dream Dimensional Reality shows itself at the base of his lower body, it illuminated everything in the surroundings with a stellar magnificent glow.
The completion of a single Dimensional Layer had utterly astonishing results- making Noah's status explode in a shocking manner as the power he felt was simply unbelievable!
This was more so for his life force as the sudden advancement of the Decretum of Dreams to 25% after simply establishing the Dream Dimensional Reality...this percentage came with ridiculous possibilities.
When Noah gazed at this percentage last, he had just spent 50 Dimensional Resource Points to raise it to .70%.
That mere .70% granted him a 7% Augmentation to True Damage Values, True Defense Values, and True Vitality Values!
1% understanding in any Decretum or Natural Law granted a 10% Augmentation, and this was how existences reaching 100s of Billions of Damage Values in the Ultima Strata and Grotto Haven realm made this a possibility...through their understanding of Natural Laws and Decretum of Dimensions and the boosts they provided.
Noah's minuscule 25% in the Decretum of Dreams meant 250% Augmentation.
"..."
In Damage Values, Defense Values, and Vitality Values!
It meant his True Vitality Value of 100 Billion had to be left behind and instead, an additional 250 Billion had to be added to it.
This was the simple Augmentation in advancing just one-fourth of the way through a Decretum!
And then there were still Damage and Defense Values!
With the now base 80,000 granted from the establishment of the First Dimensional Layer and accounting for the additional base boosts from Physiques, the Eyes of the Tri-Pupiled Kainos Emperor, the Dual Enhancement of the Throne of Quintessential Tyranny, and factoring in the cast skills and abilities...a rough estimation of 20 Billion in Damage Values could be made.
And when bringing into the picture the 250% Augmentation purely from the Decretum of Dreams alone and not accounting for the Natural Laws of Gravitation and Polarity or even the Decretum of Apollyon...this alone brought Noah past 70 Billion Damage Values!
And when putting the chaining effect of Ascendant Reality Sever...100 Billion could easily be achieved.
And this...was before the mirror effect of the Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion could be applied.
"..."
Crazy.
This was the only word possible at this moment as something even more ridiculous was his Innate Dimensional Barrier that had the effect of displaying 3 times Noah's strongest Defense Values.
"I was wrong..."
WAA!
His majestic voice came out as Noah would admit things when he was wrong.
He was wrong to think he would need to at least be halfway towards the Second Dimensional Layer to gain the capabilities of withstanding an Ultima Strata existence by himself.
The establishment of the Dream Dimensional Reality alone and the boosts it brought were enough to put him at this level!
The numbers for his Innate Defenses alone exceeded the Boundary of 100 Billion as with Noah's Ascendant Lich's Armament of Devotion in the picture...he didn't have to worry about any beginner Ultima Strata existence!
And when bringing his overall battle power, Infinite Mana, and other tools on hand...he wasn't particularly fearful of even the powerful existences of the Ultima Strata!
This...was the achievement of the establishment of a single Dimensional Layer.
And...Noah still had over 25 Grotto Panaceas to go as he had yet to start his Second Dimensional Layer!
"Hoo..."
He breathed it carefully as pure golden essence emerged from his mouth, capable of acting as a Panacea to allow others to elevate their Realms from his breath alone as for anyone lucky enough to cultivate with him...the effects were bound to be unreal.
He collected himself as what the Prompts showed was not everything.
The establishment of the First Dimensional Layer held much more significant effects than what was mentioned as Noah recalled the scene of 9 pikes stabbing into a dazzling and constantly twisting mass!
He had lifted one of these pikes- one of these Anchors!
And the shocking effects of it could not be ignored as he felt them in the Infinite Reality and his clone felt it even more in the Main Reality.
"Lavalliere...what did you see?"
He spoke out slowly, sending his will into the radiant Layer filled with 100 Trillion Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos.
What do you mean? I was simply proven wrong as you continue on your own path...and I am feeling the seething of the very Dream Dimension itself. Did...something else happen? Does it deal with the Truth of Nature that was mentioned in the prompts? Is it why essence is proliferating all around at this moment?
"..."
Lavalliere asked inquisitively as she knew there could be a great deal of things that could snowball from Noah's actions, but she did not know about the scene he saw.
She could only infer from the many shocking changes around her as Noah gave a light nod.
Did you...gain any of the actual authority of the Dream Dimension? Its purpose for the Desolate Mausoleum?
Lavalliere continued by asking as Noah replied in a thoughtful tone.
"I will have to observe and understand it more. It is not entirely like the Dream Dimension as mine is a Dream Dimensional Reality, but it carries that Undefined Authority that I...well, I need to have it defined."
WAA!
His eyes flashed with power as he tried to Illuminate the way forward.
The next layer to establish.
The rapidly increasing pace of the Pocket Dimensional Reality and its job of devouring the Dream Dimension that would undoubtedly be felt by the Latent Will soon enough!
The intricacies and understanding of everything to do with the 9 Dimensions and the Desolate.
The most efficient path forward...as he grasped the power of the Ultima Strata just over a day and a half since clasping the Alpha Strata!
Reality was in a constantly changing motion as chaos in one region that had been ongoing for millions of years could subside in an instant, or unbroken peace for many Ages could be ended in an instant!
In a region of the Boundary Between Realities.
Essence was constantly proliferating as the veils of space danced, these veils beginning to tear ever so slowly in the next few moments until they ripped apart with massive golden gushes blooming in this area and propagating in the surroundings!
From these massive golden rifts, terrifying auras began to flow through as at the center of it all and at the very forefront...the most maddening of all auras could be felt.
A congregating mass of golden sand formed a cloudy platform below his feet as waves of shining black sand could be seen mixing- this black sand falling off the body of this being like a waterfall as the Decretum of Dreams surged around him!
His form was titanic as it had humanoid features, but his head was utterly dreadful as each side of the head had a different face.
One was that of a dreary tortoise, another a tiger, a Phoenix, and lastly a dragon was the central face of this existence- of the Nightmare!
Countless more Nightmares and Dream LEGENDS surged behind him as his power far exceeded Ultima Strata and wasn't something common experts at the Grotto Haven Realm could even reach.
The veil between Realities and Dimensions had thinned as due to a certain progression, Dimensional Races in the Dream Dimension even received support from the very Dimension itself to reach this restricted location!
So this being entered the Boundary Between Realities as he was one of the 8 Dream Masters under one of the three Dimensional Rulers of the Dream Dimension.
The Aged Slumber, The Dimensional Ruler of Nightmares- Jajagan!
Other Dream Masters from the Dimensional Ruler of Nightmares and the other Rulers would soon follow as the consequences of their presence in the vast Realities would be shocking!
"Scatter and scour while forging towards the Main Reality."
The draconic face of the Nightmare boomed out with a deep voice as he continued forward.
"Locate the Dimensional Inimicus...and kill on sight."
WAA!
More and more golden rifts spread out as even larger and more expansive Legions of Nightmares and Dreams pervaded into the vast Realities, their goal being a single existence as they were prepared to eradicate as many as possible to attain him!
At the same time.
Across the vast Realities- within the Realities under Primordials where Primordial Temples stood.
CRACK!
The statues representing the Bloodlines of Primordials cracked and began to bleed profusely crimson blood, showering the temples with an astounding bloody light as many Seers rose up with somber expressions!
In the Main Reality.
In the skies close to the Northern Empyral Domain of Nature, Representative Aileron, Akaris, Katelyn, and many others were watching the confounding changes of the proliferation of essence that had started not too long ago while they were waiting for Alexander King.
All of a sudden, their gazes changed as they felt a suffocating force press down from all around, the force stemming from the very fabric of Reality around them as soon after, their communication medallions lit up as their faces changed!
The Primordial Seers capable of peering into the mysteries of Destiny, Fortune, Karma, and Fate had seen a shocking change of possible futures as large swathes of Dimensional Races would be attacking.
Will Bearers and Adjudicator Legions had to be mobilized to take care of this threat quickly!
This was the side of the Pure-Blooded Primordial Bloodlines.
There were then the Primordial Beasts and Ancient Races that were lying in wait this whole time.
In the folds of space in another far away region.
A gargantuan figure whose entire body glittered with the light of stellar rivers of light floated silently before a glorious Kun Peng whose body lit up with a myriad of Realities.
"The forces of the Dream Dimension have begun to move. Our forces there say this stemmed straight from the Latent Will of the Dream Dimension as a Dimensional Inimicus had appeared!"
...!
The Kun Peng spoke while gazing at the massive body of the Primordial Beasts that seemed like a beast of apocalypse made from rivers of Realities.
An enemy of one Dimension is an enemy for all Dimensions...it is only a matter of time.
WAA!
The massive Primordial Beast spoke calmly as his stellar eyes showed aged vicissitude!
But they lit up with light soon after as he spoke with power and valor.
"We shall use this chance to strike then. We have been waiting and preparing for so long, and an opportunity like this will cause the blooming chaos and destruction to be even more pronounced."
The Primordial Beast Emperor conversed with a Kun Peng Elder as the clusters of Legions of Primordial Beasts who had been stationed across the vast Realities would soon be unleashed as this weaving war had many sides, with the only thing of importance being the aims of all sides and the choices they would make!
"Father, they have started to mobilize."
Far away from all this, a young boy that was born not too long ago gazed at a Clone of his father as this child's own Clone was in the Boundary Between Realities observing a cluster of Primordial Beast Legions along with Hyperion and others of Noah's Vassals who wished to chase destiny.
These Legions of Beasts consisted of powerful existences in the stage of LEGENDS as the weakest were in the Firmaments of Ascendancy, and yet Little Henry was undaunted as he...had utilized the tools provided by his Father to break the limitations of all Aspects of Existence and stepped into the Primogenial Strata!
He was among many others that came after him as the Emperor Penguin, Blue Slime, Tiamat, and many others had done the same.
Their main bodies would continue taking in the resources Noah gave them as they participated in this war, the Realm they would reach at the end of it being unknown at this moment!
"Go forth and conquer, my son."
…!
"Go forth and conquer, my son."
Noah spoke with a light smile while patting the blue and black head of hair of his son that shone with incandescence
"I will send a few Alpha Strata Dream Automatons for you to lead and keep everyone safe."
...!
A ridiculous set of words unfolded as they stood true!
During the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest, four Alpha Strata LEGENDS of the Pure-Blooded Primordial Bloodlines had accompanied a portion of the geniuses of this Lineage, and yet mere days later, Noah could manage to send forth Alpha Strata LEGENDS to watch over his people and participate in this blooming war!
They sought their own destiny amidst this war as so far, Noah's destiny was eclipsing everyone else's.
If this was a chessboard with countless moving pieces, Noah could at this moment be considered to have a large weight and pull on this board!
And the most shocking thing was that many major players did not know this yet.
Primordials had not caught onto him, and nor had the Primordial Beasts. Some Dimensional Rulers and Dimensional Hellion Rulers knew of him...with Lilith being the most dangerous as she spoke of the term Irregular when referring to him!
But those who knew of him were little as even now, he was only known by the title of Dimensional Inimicus by those who were invading the vast Realities.
He...would keep it this way for now as he continued to elevate himself ever higher.
A single completed Dimensional Layer had granted so many surprises as what would happen when he forged all 9? He had been able to slightly lift the Anchor of Dream as many changes were still propagating, what authority would he have if he could replicate the other 8 Dimensions?!
"The other 8..."
Noah's vision refocused on his stellar main body that had a decision to make right now.
Which Dimension would be forged next?
When he attained the Preponderant Irminsul Dimensional Bloodline, the Prana Dimension was set in stone for this to be the next one as Noah didn't have any strong links to other Dimensions that would be able to cause the proliferation of Cosmos of this Dimension!
He either needed a strong Physique or Bloodline relating to the Dimension or something like its Decretum in order to be capable of producing the Essence of this Dimension in his Origin.
So many things had changed in the past few days that he had now gained an Apollyon Dimensional Bloodline and a corresponding Physique.
And similar to the Reserves of Dream Essence and significantly lower Reserves of Prana Essence he had attained, he now also had Reserves of Apollyon Essence!
The Prana Dimension had a strong link to Life as it could be said it stood in direct opposition to the Apollyon Dimension and even the Niflheim Dimension, but Noah had yet to delve into this vibrant Dimension yet.
He had gained a semblance of Niflheim when its periphery was warped with the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest as he was actively moving in the Apollyon Dimension!
And here came the conundrum.
Between the Prana and Apollyon Dimension, he would have chosen the Apollyon Dimension as the next Layer if it was just an hour ago.
But he had now seen what happened when he completed a Dimensional Layer.
The Latent Will of this Dimension would mobilize the most powerful beings under it and mark him as an Enemy to be eradicated!
The Apollyon Dimension had Two Dimensional Hellion Rulers that had even subjugated the Dimensional Rulers within this Dimension under them, and one of these Rulers had already come in contact with Noah.
She had already tried to mark him and attain anything about him as due to this and Noah not wanting to draw any more attention from her currently, his eyes veered off the Apollyon Dimension.
He wouldn't look down at a Hellion Ruler that had spread her influence to multiple Dimensions as when he had a better understanding and was confident that he would not be located, he could enact the Apollyon Dimension at any time.
But at this moment, the Second Dimensional Layer would be...
"The Prana Dimension..."
HUUM!
His body began to glow with a verdant light as the Essence of immense life force flourished.
The conditions to birth the Second Dimensional Reality Seed have been achieved.
The Prerequisite Dimensional Essence had been designated.
The Prana Dimensional Reality Seed is undergoing fruition!
WAA!
The Dimension of Life.
With the Venerable Dimensional Bloodline of the Preponderant Irminsul, Noah could spark off Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos.
He just needed a spark as outside sources of essence like False Grotto Nacres and Grotto Panaceas would do the rest!
The Second Layer was chosen like this as with it, Noah's True Vitality Values and chances of survival would experience a ridiculous jump when they were already extremely high.
The Decretum of Prana had yet to be attained as Noah knew when he established his Prana Dimensional Reality and reached the half way point with 50 Trillion Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos, he would forcefully gain a 12.5% Understanding.
And when he completed it, a 25% understanding!
This percentage in a Decretum that seemed to be in opposition to Apollyon and Niflheim would greatly aid him with his paths in these Dimensions apart from bolstering his own life force to ridiculous levels- so Noah forged ahead without any fear!
Dazzling stellar verdant Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos began to bloom.
A new Dimensional Reality Seed was being born as it would soon pave the way to another Dimension...and also grant Noah the honor of being labeled as the Enemy of another Dimension!
As this went underway, Noah was still studying the many effects of the already established Dream Dimensional Reality as nobody would be best served to do this than…the Quintessential Dream Dimensional Chassis that was acting as the Dungeon Boss in the Dream Dimension.
This Clone had the purely Dream Dimensional Body as it now had its corresponding Dimension forged, the effects being felt by it the most with its location being the genuine Dream Dimension itself…all of its Aspects of Existence were buzzing.
Your unique body paired with the Dream Dimensional Reality resonates with the very nature of Dreams.
Your gaze is beginning to tear the veils of Dreams and Nightmares to see a glimpse of the Absolute Dream Authority.
…!
Your gaze is beginning to tear the veils of Dreams and Nightmares to see a glimpse of the Absolute Dream Authority.
…!
Absolute Dream Authority!
One had to at least get past the halfway mark of a Decretum to begin utilizing its highest authority.
The Decretum of Dreams had Absolute Dream Authority while the Decretum of Prana had the Absolute Prana Authority.
Other Decretum of Dimensions had their own Authority as those who controlled them were beginning from existences directly under Dimensional Rulers and Dimensional Hellion Rulers!
They had made great strides over the millions of years of their lives and reached this place but as always...Noah was reaching this same stage I'm a ridiculously short period of time.
At this time though, due to the factor of his Quintessential Dimensional Body and establishment of the Dream Dimensional Reality, he was beginning to see a glimpse of Absolute Dream Authority!
What made Lavalliere as important as she was right now with her Uses so long as she devoured different forms of Loot.
She had gradually been breaking her shackles over time as her Utilization of Absolute Dream Authority would only get easier, and Noah could start grasping this himself and what the cost would be to bring his own Dreams to Reality.
This would be the task of the Dream Dimensional Body as it remained in its position as the Quintessential Dungeon Boss- a job it would have to be active in extremely soon as the progress of devouring the surrounding lands of the Dream Dimension was becoming even faster!
Another task would be for it to slumber and enter the land of Dreams.
This...was due to another effect of the Decretum of Dreams- Dream of the Oneiric.
Dream of the Oneiric allowed him to delve into the dreams and Realities of the possible immediate past and futures of selected targets- with his current targets being limited to those he had to take care of in the Apollyon Dimension as he couldn't target beings like Lilith unless he wanted to deliver himself on their platter!
The targets would be beings like the Mad Orc Daemon Commander who had nearly touched upon the Grotto Haven Realm that Noah would soon have to face.
With the Decretum of Dreams above one-fourth completed in understanding, Noah had 1 in 4 chances of experiencing the Dream of the Oneiric every single time he slumbered.
The chance to gaze upon the dreams of others as they could display their past or futures...such a tool would be crucial to gather information as the Dream Dimensional Body spread out its will across the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon while beginning to undergo cycles of slumbers!
At this same time, Noah was enjoying the birth of his Second Dimensional Layer while at the same time feeling great pain within his heart as a prompt rose up from the self-proclaimed greatest loot under him.
The Grotto Panacea regrets to inform you that for your Second Dimensional Layer, it can only form 1.5 Trillion Kainos Royal Cosmos. Its abilities being halved isn't due to its weakness but due to the path you chose where obscene amounts of resources are required the further up you traverse on this path.
"..."
Yes.
When Noah established his new Realm of Progression, he was told that the resources he required would be insurmountable!
They would only increase the higher up he went as from being capable of forging 3 Trillion Kainos Royal Cosmos for his first Layer, he could only do half of this for his second Layer when continuing to utilize Grotto Panaceas.
It meant Noah's need for Grotto Panaceas increased even more as wondrously, he would have many sources to obtain it as the weaving of destiny and war unfolded in the next day!
The Prana Dimensional Reality Seed had flourished as Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos began to fill up Noah's second Dimensional Layer.
The process was a little slower than the formation of Kainos Royal Dream Cosmos as the difficulty on Noah's path remained to be true even as he provided the Essence and treasures for it, but dazzling stellar verdant Cosmos continued to bloom from singularities as they pulsed with a shocking amount of life force.
Before the boons of a Seed could even be quantified, Noah could already feel his ridiculous True Vitality Value rising ever so slowly with every formation of a Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos, the effects and boons of the coming Dimensional Layer bound to be astonishing!
A Seed required 10 Trillion Cosmos before it could bloom into a Dimension Reality, and such a thing was easily achievable with 7 Grotto Panaceas.
Under the Time Dilation of the Dimensional Holy Land, this process was completed in a sufficient period of time as after 10 Trillion Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos were achieved...the seed began to bloom into a Dimensional Reality.
The Paramount Kainos Dream Dimensional Reality is being established.
Profoundly verdant light began to emanate from Noah as above the golden plane and halcyon Cosmos of his lower body, chunks of verdant mass began to form as they coagulated into intricate and massive tendrils of life force that seemed like...roots.
Vibrant and powerful roots that twisted across each other and caused a planar floor to begin forming, this mixture of roots forming a floor as above it, geysers of life force erupted that formed into verdant clusters of roots in the shape of islands that floated above this floor!
And these islands filled with life force formed into the shape of gorgeous and massive trees that had their branches and leaves twirl and wrap around the spinning Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos that were forming along with them.
The Dream Dimension has a sandy golden floor of essence with rising dunes and mountains, the Avalon Dimension had floating islands with waterfalls of purple essence, and the Apollyon Dimension had pillars of Magma filled light shooting to the skies while connected to a magma-filled earth with blazing skies all around!
The Prana Dimension showed the weaving of countless roots that formed a floor as above them, floating tree-like islands bloomed as verdant essence bloomed below them while vines intertwined with each other to connect everything.
The whole Dimensional Reality was filled with astounding life force and beauty that it nearly took Noah's breath away- nearly...but then the prompts came as they were what really took his breath away.
As Noah's body lit up with verdant light while a second Dimension was being forged, magisterial prompts and information sunk into his mind.
Your Infinite Quintessential Dimensional Reality Passages have resonated with the birth of your Second Paramount Kainos Dimensional Reality and are undergoing further evolution.
The Decretum of the Dimension you have forged in your Origin will be generated and nourish you amidst all other essences.
HOOONG!
Increased Understanding of the Decretum of Prana will slowly be formed as its essence melds with you.
...!
Any Dimensional Layer he forged, he would no doubt attain the Decretum of this Dimension and even have its percentage raised when he completed important benchmarks.
The abstruse understanding of the Prana Dimension was being formed as at the end of it all...Noah would undoubtedly wield the Decretum of all Dimensions.
But from the many changes brought by the formation of the second Dimensional Layer...
An Infinite Quintessential Dimensional Reality Passage can now generate 90,000 Units of the Essence of Reality per second.
The rate of Refining Empyral Bones, Organs, and Musculature has been greatly elevated.
Pure wonders bloomed as when Noah established his first Dimension, many changes occurred.
The Infinite Reality Passages had become Infinite Quintessential Dimensional Reality Passages that were elevated once more with the formation of the Second Dimensional Layer, and Noah's Traits had undergone a change back then as when as his Tri-Pupiled eyes being born as the authority of his advancement had taken many aspects of him and upgraded them!
But that was then, and this was now.
A symphony began to play as the surroundings turned glorious.
At this point in time, Noah wanted to be more methodical and gain greater benefits in one extreme.
More surgical and precise!
The Authority of the birth of the Second Dimensional Layer is being focused on the Trait of Infinite Mana.
Greater authority and elevation are being bestowed on the Trait of Infinite Mana.
WAA!
The features of Skill Succession, Concept Amalgamation, and Resource Master have been greatly elevated.
Surges of essence and authority raged within Noah's body as his Tri-Pupiled eyes released beams of radiant light.
He wanted to be more focused in his elevation as he brought out even more power in one extreme, and his main goal for this current venture was the Infinite Mana Trait yes...but more so the Skill Succession feature of it.
The Will of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor gazes expectantly at the feature of Skill Succession.
Skill Succession:: When casting an ability, a second ability can be linked to it to be cast at the same time as the second ability's resource cost is replaced by pure Mana. This feature has been further enhanced as now, additional abilities can be linked in an exchange for an extremely high cost- a cost that ignores Reality altering effects as it must be paid by you in its entirety. A third ability can be linked to form a chain of three abilities, with the cost of bringing forth to fruition 3 linked abilities being 1 Trillion Mana and 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality. Bringing to fruition a Skill Succession of 4 Linked abilities costs 5 Trillion Mana and 500 Million Units of the Essence of Reality, and 5 Linked abilities cost 10 Trillion Mana and 1,000 Million Units of the Essence of Reality. The high cost of casting the linked abilities is a testament to their power as once more- their cost must be paid in full as they ignore any and all Reality altering effects, even Resource Cost Nullification...
"..."
A description of pure wonder lay before Noah's eyes.
Skill Succession.
He had utilized it last to bring forth Ascendant Severing Soul Star that turned the Assassin Emperor of Severance into a multi-target ability that instantly wiped out millions of LEGENDS no matter if they were Primogenial or Beta Strata.
It wasn't simply one plus one as the linking of abilities brought about unknown changes and heavily increased their Damage...with the linking of a third or fourth ability being something so far-fetched that it might be twice or three times Noah's normal Damage Value with any Skill.
If he could currently unleash 70 Billion True Dimensional Damage Values- a number that had undoubtedly changed as he would be getting another boost to his base Damage value for establishing the Second Dimensional Layer and blow up this Damage even further...but if we utilize this 70 Billion as an example of a normal Damage Value, a single cast of a 3 linked ability brought forth by Skill Succession could possibly deal 140 Billion or 210 Billion...if not even more depending on the resonance of the abilities and what effects they would bring.
When facing against an uber-powerful enemy where the multiple links of Sever could not be achieved against them, Noah being capable of dishing out a single ability that could deal hundreds of Billions of Damage Values would be indispensable!
He could utilize upto three chained abilities at this juncture with the undeniable price of 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality that would deplete close to a third of all his reserves in a single shot, but the chains of these abilities that formed into different skills and techniques would be his killing blows against obscenely powerful enemies!
He wanted to give a simple quantification for these techniques and those to come as he wanted to group them all under a banner of specific abilities.
A banner of specific techniques meant for killing and annihilation that would be one of a kind in this Age and Era.
HOONG!
His eyes lit up as the ideas swirling in his mind came to fruition, his voice coming out to cement them in stone.
"Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Techniques."
WAA!
Sets of abilities that when linked together and cast, they formed into new Techniques!
Techniques that when the Quintessential Kainos Emperor cast- his enemies could do nothing but face Annihilation.
This was the distinction Noah want to give his optimization of skills as his Second Dimensional Layer was being established.
The Ascendant Severing Soul Star was only the first of these Annihilation Techniques, merely the first form of what was to come!
Author's Note
Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Techniques:: Techniques brought forth by the Quintessential Kainos Emperor as when cast, his enemies can only face Annihilation. Currently available forms based on the capabilities of Skill Succession: [Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- First Form], [Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- Second Form], and [Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- Third Form].
[Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- First Form]:: The descent of the Ascendant Severing Soul Star. The Assassin Emperor of Severance becomes a multi-target ability that initiates against all those that gaze at the Star of Illumination, and the amount of times the Assassin Emperor of Severance can chain is limited to once under the multi-target effect.
As always, Noah made preparations for what was to come.
The Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Techniques would be future trump cards that would have a high cost when he made the 3 linked and 4 linked abilities, but his own power would always be the most crucial.
And ever so steadily, it continued to elevate as after the Enhancement of the Trait of Infinite Mana once more, the remaining boons of the establishment of the Second Dimensional Layer continued.
The established Paramount Kainos Prana Dimensional Reality grants a base addition of 30,000 Dimensional Dream Damage and Defense Values, bringing your Overall Origin Base Value to 110,000.
"Oh?"
Noah's Tri-Pupiled eyes shone brightly as the initial establishment of the Dream Dimensional Reality granted a base of 20,000 at its initial stage, 40,000 Halfway, and 80,000 when completed. Yet the initial stage of the Second Dimensional Layer was even higher as it left behind grand expectations for what was to come!
His body was continuing to illuminate with a green glow above the gold as changes continued unabashedly, his heart and blood buzzing as he felt the reserves within him expanded once more as well.
Your Reserves of the Essence of Reality have been elevated to the Maximum of 175 Million.
Your Affinity to the Natural Laws of Reality has risen greatly!
Your Affinity to the Decretum of all Dimensions has risen greatly!
You can now forge the Quintessential Kainos Prana Dimensional Chassis.
Your Maximum Number of Ascendancy Halos is now 180.
Pure black gold texts in golden prompt boxes continued to astound him and cement his power in the Ultima Strata as yet another Dimensional Body became available for him to grant to one of his Clones.
And since the boons of establishing a Quintessential Dimensional Chassis were grand with their effects benefiting Noah right away, his will surged out with his intention to designate a Clone for this even before the prompts of the boons of the Second Dimensional Layer continued!
As his Origin continued to change and advance, so did his resonated Body and Soul as their breadth greatly expanded, the pathways of Cycles of his Infinite Physique opening up freely as everything about him became even more robust.
Your Body and Innate Dimensional Barrier are undergoing changes and incorporating the essence of Prana, its defense now equivalent to 400% of the highest reachable Defense Values in your strongest form.
…!
Your Dimensional Sea is undergoing changes and incorporating the essence of a second Dimension as your understanding in Decretum of Dimensions becomes even smoother. The process of infusing the Essence of Decretum of Dimensions into concepts and relics to forge the stage of HERESY is even smoother as the rate of infusion is increased by 1,000,000%. Your soul begins the process of Ionization as its resonance with all Aspects of Existence is even more interlinked.
His body felt nourished.
His soul even more so as it underwent the changes that all geniuses stepping out of the Alpha and into the Ultima Strata went through!
The prompts for the establishment of the Second Dimensional Layer ended.
His Origin buzzed as wondrous stability came in, the unfurling Grotto Panaceas around him releasing a radiant light as they continued to be absorbed by him.
Out of the 25, 18 remained as they would equate to 27 Trillion Kainos Royal Prana Cosmos- requiring Noah to wait until the next influx of this wondrous loot came before he could continue his ridiculous pace of progression.
There was a glorious allure of incandescent light all around him with the Grotto Panaceas alone as above him, 134 radiant Infinite Reality Passages stood like mountains as they shone with a vibrant green and gold stellar Dimensional light- gushing down Dimensional Essence and Essence of Reality among many others as with the evolution of his Infinite Physique that would soon come under a different name as it incorporated more than just the aspects of Dream Essence...the maximum number of Reality Passages were far for being reached with this tool in place.
The number of cycles had already exceeded 45 as a proper quantification of the Infinite Physique was not established yet due to the constant evolutions and enhancements from multiple sources, Noah waiting for it to incorporate everything before coming up with a clear description in time!
But he was proceeding steadily.
As mountains of stellar green-gold dimensional light nourished him from above with his bones nearly reaching the EMPYRAL stage, he appreciated where he reached for s brief second before looking at the many paths he was already going down on.
The Avalon Dimension, the Dream Dimension, the Apollyon Dimension, and the Main Reality.
Each had their own developments and boons as after a few hours, Noah's will focused on the Clone of Alexander King in the Main Reality- the boons here almost as fundamental and as important as the establishment of his Dimensions!
Time passed as many events unfolded and progressed.
In the Main Reality, Noah's Clone of Alexander had his time limit coming up in the Empyral Domain of Nature as before the last hour could wrap up...
"Finish everything within the next few minutes. Changes are unfolding in the outside Realities as Dimensional Races have begun to pour into our Realities, with the Legion you shall join already assembled outside and waiting for you. They cannot wait any longer."
...!
The terrifying powerful Primordial that was keeping watch over the Empyral Domain of Nature spoke out from his unknown location as Noah's eyes opened.
His actions had produced effects as his choices had directly changed the course and Karma of many beings.
Initially, he was bound to be heading to the Niflheim Dimension to reinforce a Dimensional Stronghold from the attacks of Ancient Races and Dimensional Races, yet what he did in that unique space he appeared in caused an instant change in the course of this path as now, it had progressed to the immediate reinforcement of Pure-Blooded Domains as Dream LEGENDS and Nightmares from the Dream Dimension were on a path of destruction!
The forces of the Dream Dimension were surging into the vast Realities as long-held restrictions were broken down, their aim being none other than the Dimensional Inimicus that was Noah.
When the time came that the Latent Will of the Dream Dimension figures out his location in the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon, Noah could expect the same force being utilized to invade the vast Realities to be directed towards him...if not an even more horrific force coming for him.
He had to be ready.
He had to make sure that the authority of the Absolute Kainos Dream Dungeon would aid him to get past any enemies, even if Dimensional Rulers themselves came!
HUUM!
A buzzing sound whipped around him as the words of the unknown existences guarding the Empyral Domain of Nature rang in his mind.
The Legions had already been assembled as he would be joining them now.
This unique region was a haven for grasping and increasing ones understanding of Natural Laws as when given the chance, nobody would ever want to leave here.
But the surging Essence was limited as what Noah had absorbed in a day was something that others would struggle to absorb in months!
The hidden Primordial with an unknown level of power knew this very well after he spoke to Noah about leaving even earlier than expected, the voice of this being ringing out again as Noah rose to make his exit.
"You are unique and have a bright future as a possible pillar of our Bloodline, so I'll give you the same warning and advice I've given others like you over the years. Don't try to leave a marker or any Relic in this place that you think will allow you to silently come back here to obtain some benefits. Geniuses who violated the rules of the Empyral Domains of Nature have tried and failed as I strip them of their power myself. Don't make the same mistake."
...!
"Bid your time, increase your efforts for our Bloodline and you will be back here before you know it, while also giving others of our Bloodline a chance to experience something similar and keep it going for generations. Only then can we grow stronger collectively. Only then can we live up to the legend of the Great Ruler."
WAA!
The archaic voice of this powerful being echoed out with vibrations of Natural Laws, Noah feeling the buzzing essence around him as without another word, he began to walk out from the raging storms of Natural Law Essences.
If he couldn't escape the eyes of this powerful Primordial today, he would simply plan and make the means to escape from his gaze later on!
This location was too profound to simply visit once and leave after a day under the beckoning of Primordials, and the Quintessential Kainos Emperor would not be held back from enjoying it for too long.
But first, there was the most pressing issue that was coming up.
PA! PA!
Noah's steps were light as he left the area of dense Natural Law Essences, looking at his gains that made him want to be back here as soon as possible.
As he walked, his body was surrounded by surging waves of all types of Essence as he pulled in the essence of Gravitation, Polarity, and Manadynamics the most- his attainments having been astounding to say the least as a few minutes would be enough to quantify everything he had obtained!
First and foremost was the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics.
The Natural Law that even stood above Gravitation and Polarity.
[Fundamental Natural Law Manadynamics:: A ruling authority that governs the absolute workings of Reality. Understanding it to completion means comprehending this aspect of Reality as you can easily influence it in an unimaginable manner. With the understanding of Manadynamics, one can come to the realization that essence can neither be created nor destroyed, simply changed into different forms. This Fundamental Natural Law is closely interlinked with the Fundamental Natural Law of Entropy as initially understanding in this can soon grant you an understanding of Entropy. Manadynamics classifies everything into its own domains and systems, where the total change in the essence of any system will always be equal to the Mana exchanged between the system and its surroundings, and the influence exerted by the systems or on the system by an outside force. The manipulation of Mana and the influence or authority you can exert in any domain or system can be more easily completed with a greater understanding of Manadynamics as when reaching a sufficient level, you will be able to manipulate the Fundamental Natural Law to the extent that all essence will come under your fingertips, with your usage of it being abundant and inexhaustible as the influence you exert can be minimal to produce astonishing results...]
[...The conversion of essence into different forms is better understood by you as there even lies a possibility to convert pure Mana into the very Essence of Reality and ultimately- into any type of essence in existence. You have personally experienced a unique phenomenon and mutation with your soul where the passive, rapid, and constant exchange of all types of essence into Mana has been occurring- all of this Mana being pulled into your body and utilized by you to form abilities and skills that in the end return back to pure Mana that is reclaimed by your surroundings. Due to this, you have gained the unique title of Infinite Conduit for successfully and without your knowledge gaining access to a soul that undergoes a constant exchange of energies into different forms, following the principles of Manadynamics. Due to unknowingly delving into the workings of Manadynamics and your continued usage of it, your initial understanding of this Fundamental Natural Law is much greater that workings of this Natural Law can also be infused into concepts or Relics to produce the attainments of Transcendent DHARMA- a stage that can allow DHARMIC essence to be infused into REIFIED abilities and grant them increased autonomy, power, and size. Concepts or tools affected by the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics will find their exchange of energy altered greatly as other effects will vary. Current understanding of the Natural Law of Manadynamics 5%. Current Boosts granted to abilities infused with the Essence of Manadynamics- 50% Augmentation to All Essence Reserves, Essence Exchange Value, True Damage Values, True Defense Values, and True Vitality Values. The closer you are to fully understanding a Natural Law, the closer you are to the truth…]
A lengthy description.
And an answer to a grand question!
Had Noah ever violated the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics?
Had Noah ever violated the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics?
Energy could neither be created nor destroyed, only changed into a different form!
The reserves of essence in one's body were limited.
Unique Entities like stellar bodies, Universes, Cosmos, and Realities fell under their own system as due to their interlinked nature with the very fabric and makeup of reality, they enjoyed immense reserves of essence.
In the beginning, Noah borrowed the very Essence of his Planet as no other being could compare to him in his Mana.
Its essence was transformed into Mana which was then changed by Noah's concepts into different forms of energy- skills and abilities.
In this area, he adhered to the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics.
He then went to borrow the Essence of his Galaxy and Universe as he still adhered to this Fundamental Natural Law!
Ultimately...his Trait had fully solidified to grant him the reality altering concept of Infinite Mana.
And that was great and all in translation...but where did all that essence come from?
If not from his planet, or Cosmos, it still had to be coming from somewhere as Noah couldn't just create- this would be going against the very fabric of Reality!
The Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics had to be followed.
Energy could neither be created nor destroyed, only changed into a different form.
And this...was the crux of why Noah was granted the title of Infinite Conduit after the mutation of his soul so long ago.
A Conduit was something that connected or exchanged something. A Conduit to connect pipes of water or for wiring different forms of energy.
When Noah attained what he considered the full Reality altering Trait of Infinite Mana, he had transcended many concepts and made himself a Conduit that instantaneously exchanged different forms of essence into pure mana- pure Mana that he utilized an infinite amount of as he was not drawing it from himself, but from the outside!
To better understand this, the description of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics had to come into the picture.
It stated that "Manadynamics classifies everything into its own domains and systems, where the total change in the essence of any system will always be equal to the Mana exchanged between the system and its surroundings, and the influence exerted by the system or on the system by an outside force."
Everything had its own domain and system. One can imagine it akin to a bubble- where Noah and all the variety of other existences had their own bubbles that surrounded who they were, and that was their domain.
Stellar bodies have their own systems and domains that adhered to the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics.
The vast Realities had their own systems and domains!
The 9 Dimensions had their own systems and domains!
The Desolate Mausoleum...has its own Domain where its total change of essence was always equal to the Mana exchanged between it and its surroundings, and the influence exerted by it or on it by an outside force!
What Noah had done was something critical where the energy he utilized and transformed did not come from his own system.
His reserves of Mana did not remain enclosed within his own bubble of domain.
The first few times he pierced this bubble was with his Planet and then Galaxy and then Universe as he utilized the Domains and systems of other entities.
This was outside of the boundaries of what existences were supposed to do, but since he still utilized this energy and transformed it into skills and abilities that returned their essence back into the surroundings as the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics returned everything where it should be...he still had not violated this Fundamental Natural Law!
HUUUM!
As Noah was lost in this epiphany while gazing at the description of this Law, his Main Body pulsed with a unique sensation as Resonance of Nature shone brightly.
His stellar visage with two Dimensional Layers illuminated as his Tri-Pupiled eyes released rays of light.
His sight seemed to be cleared up as while releasing luminous light that made his pupils seem like three blazing suns, he gazed upon the surroundings after gaining an understanding in the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics.
He saw the vast Dimensional Holy Land and the Seas of multicolored Essence within it...but he saw even more than that.
He saw how these Seas of essence weren't just increasing in density and volume out of nowhere, with immaculate and unseen cracks in space leaking out white streams of essence that transformed into Seas of golden Destiny or verdant life force!
He moved even further to gaze upon his people as his eyes landed on the vibrantly glorious body of Halcyon.
As her golden hair flowed over her shoulders while she trained, Noah could see a massive bubble of golden light around her. It contained robust forms of swirling energies that she breathed in and out constantly without her knowledge, and any time she cast a skill, some of the energy within her golden bubble would be taken and transformed to enact her skill in the outside world!
The skill of a flash of golden lightning was cast as it cracked apart space, but then soon enough, it faded. It faded and turned into streams of unseen essence that assimilated into the surroundings.
And when Noah gazed back at her, the energies within her bubble were reduced. But soon after...her bubble pulsed as energy from the surroundings began to flow into it!
To fill up the Essence that was just used and transformed into something else that returned to the surroundings.
Her own body also pulsed as it attracted this essence even faster, this being her Value of Mana Regeneration that affected this!
WAA!
It was a flow of energy.
Everything was accounted for.
Neither created nor destroyed, only changed into a different form.
An Astounding Achievement!
You are gazing upon the very workings of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics as your understanding is further increased by an additional 5%!
The prompt rained down but Noah wasn't gazing at it.
He gazed at other beings as he saw a slightly larger golden bubble around the Emperor Penguin, a massive bubble around Little Henry, and a smaller bubble around the Shadow Guard Night.
After he gazed at his surroundings and others, he came to himself.
His eyes turned to himself as he saw...a heart-stopping scene.
Noah had gazed at the Dimensional Holy Land that had its own massive bubble of domain, and the bubbles of domains of his own people stretched throughout it training!
But when he turned his gaze to himself...he couldn't see it.
He couldn't see a massive bubble of any color around him, where even if it was massive in size compared to others, it should have still been there as he expanded his sight for miles and then light-years to find it!
But it wasn't there.
The only thing he could see as a bubble of a domain was within his body.
He saw an abstract of a small golden bubble within his vibrant origin that contained none other than the Dream Essence.
A green bubble that contained Prana Essence.
A multicolored bubble that showed his reserves of the Essence of Reality.
And a variety of other golden bubbles that contained many of his different forms of essence!
The only bubble or domain missing...was the main domain of Mana that everyone had.
He did not have his own Domain or system that contained his Mana.
WAA!
When Noah raised his hands to call forth an ability that he had yet to nullify the resource cost of, he saw his body light up as from his surroundings...essence converged into him and brought the skill to fruition before it faded back into essence soon after.
The surroundings weren't affected in the slightest as next, he called forth Bloodfiend while putting in trillions of Mana in exchange!
If his vision from before or anyone else looked, they wouldn't be able to see any changes. But under his new gaze, he saw the bubble of the Dimensional Holy Land have its essence surge towards him while the thin imperceptible cracks that released an unknown white essence sent a few of its streams as in a mere instant, it turned into seas of mana as the cost of the skill was paid.
The essence surged through Noah and formed the concept he had in his mind as he...acted as a Conduit.
A massive demonic figure with a sea of blood behind it appeared above Noah.
It released a horrific pressure as Noah released it soon after, observing as the vibrant essence that made it disappear back into the Dimensional Holy Land. The imperceptible cracks pulled in droves of the Seas of essence that turned back into white streams that disappeared silently.
"..."
His Aspects of Existence began to tremble as his body moved unconsciously.
HUUUM!
Towards the nearest imperceptible crack that nobody could see!
The supremely pure white essence being released from this seemed small in volume but could instantly transform into trillions of pure Mana!
His hand moved towards it as when he was close to it and tried to grasp it...
BZZZT!
He felt an arc of light bounce him back as he received a heavy jolt, a prompt rising before his eyes.
You do not have enough authority.
"..."
The prompt did not have a text box as its words were a piercing pure white that dripped with authority and power.
Noah's eyes turned sharp.
His pupils span maddeningly as he reached out again, the will of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor not simply content to agree after seeing a prompt once!
HOONG!
But...
BOOM!
He was rebounded off with even more force as yet another dazzling set of white words rose.
You do not have enough Authority of Quintessence.
...!
His eyes opened wide as many thoughts bloomed!
Authority of Quintessence!
Authority of this current Age!
Wasn't Noah building this up with his crown and backbone of a throne?
This...was what was required to grasp or even control this unseen white essence that could seemingly turn into any resource?!
There were many more questions and answers as Noah found out even more of the secrets around him, this time his mind being brought to with Lavalliere's voice.
This should be something that you can grasp when you attain the Seat of the True Emperor.
WAA!
With it, anything is possible. Breaking the shackles that bind an existence, keeping the balance of Manadynamics, unheard of possibilities for any actions the past True Emperors carried out.
"..."
A shocking revelation was laid down.
When Noah believed he had gained the true reality-altering concept of Infinite Mana, he was not wrong in this belief.
He had access to Infinite Mana.
His domain and system was not there as he was not limited in the reserves of Mana! Whichever bubble or domain he entered, it would adhere to give him what was required. And if there was any discrepancy, a supremely unique white essence would make up for it to make sure that the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics was not violated!
Lost within his voice, Lavalliere's voice continued.
But after the actions of the Last True Emperor, the actions of this supreme authority...will eventually not be capable of rectifying the constant emergence of new Realities and expansion of Dimensions. Eventually, everything will crumble apart.
Bundles of information were descending upon Noah as at the center of it all was the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics.
There was also the Fundamental Natural Law of Entropy that was gaining in too much authority as ultimately, with it came destruction!
But there was time.
Time for Noah to understand and still gain whatever authority was required.
His Tri-Pupiled eyes shone with an even brighter luster as he focused on the understanding of Manadynamics once more.
As he focused on the concept of Infinite Conduit that he had made himself to be by the erasure of his bubble/domain!
Infinite Conduit:: You have been acting as a Conduit for immense transfers of essence instantaneously as your Aspects of Existence have gained a unique standing due to the mutation in your soul. When grasping enough understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics, you will gain the capability to turn your mutation into the Heart of Mana. Furthermore, & #$%^*(!$*%...
Heart of Mana.
Heart of Destiny, Heart of Karma, and a few more!
As always, grand possibilities opened up before Noah's eyes as he alone would choose how to proceed and what effects his actions would bring.
The concepts he was dabbling in right now were too pristine as he had to take a step back and look at them in their entirety.
His main body would continue this task as he forged the Second Dimensional Layer while his Clones would continue their Incursions across Dimensions and Realities...until he gained whatever level of authority required that nothing could be veiled before his eyes!
SHAA!
The Clone of Alexander in the Empyral Domain of Nature finally stepped out of its raging waves of essence, his dark hair whipping around his head in a magnetized fashion as his eyes carried a devilish and unstoppable charm.
He gazed out to see Akaris, Katelyn, and Juliette standing beside a cerulean rift as with his entrance- Akaris rose as her aura was no longer at the 9th Firmament of Ascendancy, and nor was Juliette's!
Only Katelyn remained at the stage she was as she gazed towards Noah.
But as always, Akaris took the lead as the wings below her feet spread out wide, her voice echoing out.
"Your gains were sufficient?"
Noah's visage was hard to look at as he reigned in his authority and replied.
"Somewhat."
"Good. There is a Dream Master to hunt."
..!
Across the Domains of Primordials, Dream Masters of the Dream Dimension had begun to spread out with their forces!
These existences were not in the stage of LEGENDS as they had formed a Haven.
They had their own genuine Grotto Haven as under the vast Realities, they were unmatched!
They had Legions led by Ultima Strata LEGENDs, with some exceptionally powerful Dream Masters even having other Grotto Haven existences under them as they made up a core power of a Dimensional Ruler.
Such were the beings beginning to permeate through the vast Realities in the last few hours as when Noah gained the information on their movements, his heart didn't have the least bit of fear and apprehension.
There was only the thought of loot!
"Before we go..."
As his eyes illuminated while thinking of what was to come, he nodded towards Katelyn as she waved her hands to bring forth a crystalline mirror before her.
Within a microsecond, fair hands reached out from it as the visage of another Katelyn could be seen, remaining inside the mirror as this Mirror Clone gazed towards Noah!
"Adjudicator Katelyn promised to show me a little of the Mirror Dimension, an invasion won't stand in the way of that."
WAA!
As he spoke, his own figure fluctuated as an identical version of him was formed beside him, flying towards the glimmering silver mirror where another Katelyn was waiting!
"This won't affect your battle power?" Juliette's eyes shone as she asked, still bent on finding a strong man to put under her as she watched a Clone of Noah delve into the dazzling mirror with another Katelyn, this small gateway beginning to close soon after as Noah shook his head.
"Merely a Clone for reconnaissance. Let's go."
He shook off their gazes as he sent a True Sanguine Clone and what seemed like Katelyn's Mirror Clone, but it was actually her main body...into a gateway leading to the Mirror Dimension.
Akaris merely gazed at this scene as she floated towards the portal before them, the four of them entering it to join the Legion that was bound to set off and stand against the forces of the Dream Dimension!
SHAA!
The constant shifting and sliding of mirrors could be felt all around him as Noah followed the lead of Katelyn while she tested apart the veils of the Mirror Dimension.
He had his Clones and will moving across many locations as he sought the Sword of Avalon in the Avalon Dimension, War and Conquest in the Dream and Apollyon Dimension, and now there was the Mirror Dimension that had also been a part of his plans.
Here...he wanted to conduct a coup!
But before that...
"Most of the geniuses who went in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest and survived have formed their Realities. I waited as destiny pointed me to something else after our talk."
Katelyn spoke as the mirrors around them constantly shifted, the scenes of their surroundings gradually becoming clearer as a mirror castle unveiled itself before them.
Noah had a smile on his face as he asked lightly.
"Have you made your decision?"
A crucial and life changing decision after their talk from last time.
Katelyn's eyes flashed with a glorious silver light as the ecritures of SACRALIZED EMPEROR shone brightly around her crown, a piece of the Mirror floor they stood on breaking and floating upwards to bring them to the terrace of the castle.
Katelyn turned her back towards Noah and walked into the castle with determination as she replied.
"Yes. Let me have a taste of this power that everyone seeks. You haven't fully obtained my heart as I shall leave that to time, but I cannot deny the methods you mentioned as for now...you have to be satisfied with just my body."
...!
Inside the terrace that led into a dazzling and wide mirror room within this castle, Katelyn entered while turning around to face Noah- the silver battle dress around her beginning to fade away as Noah floated into this mirror castle without a hurry.
"Before all that, let's have you be a triple Limit Breaker first."
Rays of resplendent light bloomed out as Empyral Physique Refining Pearls, Ionized Soul Seas, and a single Grotto Panacea appeared behind Noah- his plans moving as he wished in another aspect as he looked forward to performing Cultivation with another Dimensional Royalty!
Hecate Eranelon had granted him a Dimensional Physique and a Royal Dimensional Bloodline while the Cultivation session had raised her from the Beta Strata and into the Alpha Strata.
After making Katelyn a Limit Breaker in all her Aspects of Existence and performing Dual Cultivation with her, how much would her power be raised?
How great would the continuing changes in the Infinite Dream Physique be after yet another Physique from a different Dimension was assimilated into it?
There was much for Noah to look forward to as he watched the countless reflections of a vivacious and innocent existence reflect on the countless mirrors of the castle he stepped into, the dazzling silver hair flowing from Katelyn's head and draping over her shoulders smoothly being grasped in his fingers as like a hungry wolf, he went in for a delectable meal!
Meanwhile, Akaris led his clone of Alexander and the Mirror Clone of Katelyn along with Juliette across multiple gateways that eventually took them out of the vast and mystical Main Reality- coming out on one of the gateways stationed within the Boundary Between Realities that was packed with massive vessels and Adjudicator Legions protecting the boundary of the Main Reality.
Buy when Noah gazed at the surroundings, he found something different from when they first passed through here as now...the volume and the sheer number of beings in this area had astoundingly quadrupled and seemed to only be increasing.
Even more Vessels were present as more and more were flying into this region, the Adjudicator Legions moving busily as within these vessels, Noah could see a myriad of Primordial Bloodlines.
"The peripheral explored Realities and Domains of Primordials are compromised for now as Primordial Bloodlines are migrating towards the Main Reality for protection. The Dimensional Forces moving about are not taking any prisoners as Realities are being torn down like weeds."
Akaris spoke slowly while the four of them floated towards a massive vessel where Representative Aileron was waiting along with another even more powerful existence.
A migration.
Because of the actions of the Dream Dimensional Races, multiple Bloodlines were forced to migrate as the destruction they lay in their wake was astounding!
It was a fantastical scene to see as among the many massive vessels flowing in, the vast majority were pulsing with blue and purple light as powerful souls wrapped up in shining battle suits led the way forward.
"The Spirit Race stepped up to handle most of the issues of transportation with their Techno Relics, but we still have to do our part to stop the Dimensional forces from forging further inward as their path seems to be set on the Main Reality."
The voice of Akaris rang in their ears as they arrived on their own designated Relic.
The scenes of the proud and powerful Primordial Bloodlines leaving their homes in mass exodus were unique to see as it wouldn't just be lesser Primordial Races like the Royal Wolves or Spirit Race, but even the regions of the Pure-Blooded Domains of the 5 Bloodline Races might be pushed back if the advancement of the Dream Dimensional Races wasn't stopped!
With all this in the picture, how would Primordial ls handle this?
It meant that Noah would get to see a genuine grasp of just how powerful their forces are- what the followers of the existence who had split apart the Main Reality!
Destiny weaved powerfully as they stepped onto their own massive vessel, Noah gazing at the massive DHARMA construct that seemed like a moving Reality with its own complex weaponry. It had multiple Legions already situated within it as at the helm, Representative Aileron was speaking with a stellar haired woman whose body retained features of a Reality Ursidae!
Her body gave off dangerous waves of power as the illusion of multiple Realities stacked atop each other could be seen.
A radiant multicolored solidified crown that read EMPEROR spun above her as apart from Representative Aileron, multiple auras of other Ultima Strata existences could be felt aboard this vessel as they led powerful Legions!
At their entrance, the Reality Ursidae gazed towards them along with Representative Aileron and the others.
"The oh-so-important chicks that delayed our deployment finally arrived?"
HUUUM!
The vibrant will of a Haven descended as the DHARMA Relic they were on lit up, Akaris stepping forward to give a respectful nod while replying calmly!
"Suzerain Jiyeon, our apologies. It was an unavoidable situation that involved an Empyral Domain of Nature."
Her voice didn't carry a servile tone or even a hint of fear as it caused the eyes of the existence who had gained the title of Suzerain to flash with a sharp light as she gazed towards a slightly helpless Representative Aileron coldly!
Suzerain.
A title and standing granted by those who had achieved the Grotto Haven Realm as it stood for a Ruler that reigned autonomously above many others!
It far exceeded any Obsidian Adjudicator or Adjudicator Commander as a Suzerain could command Ultima Strata LEGENDs and their Legions.
Jiyeon was a particularly brutal Suzerain from the Pure-Blooded Reality Ursidae Bloodline, Noah's eyes landing on her cold and hard to read figure as information rose up.
Name: Suzerain Jiyeon
Lineage: Reality Ursidae
Realm: Grotto Haven
Titles: Soul Crusher, Fist Emperor...
True Reality Vitality Values: 8,645 Billion
Innate Grotto Barrier: 2,580 Billion
Reserves of Essence of Reality: 93 Million
Mana: 850 Trillion
Destiny: 35 Fate: 39…
Overall Battlepower: Grotto Haven
"..."
'What a tank...'
There was a decent amount of information to unpack, but the most astounding information to come across was this existence's True Vitality Values!
8,646 Billion!
Noah had barely broken into the hundreds of Billions that Ultima Strata existences should also be at, where if things went according to what was currently expected- the peak of Ultima Strata should be at 1,000 Billion as reaching and exceeding that number would be something delving into the stage of Grotto Haven.
1,000 Billion- or simply 1 Trillion!
Yet this existence before his eyes had over 8 Trillion in Damage Values as she was one of the sturdier tanks Noah had come across so far.
It made him expectant for the things to come as this Suzerain Jiyeon shone powerfully while speaking out without delay.
"Set off!"
HUUUM!
The DHARMA Relic pulsed.
The Essence of Gravitation leaked from it as space became twisted, a dazzling flash of purple light wrapping around this entire vessel that held multiple Primordial Legions led by Ultima Strata LEGENDs and commanded by a Grotto Haven Realm existence as it disappeared in a flash of purple light soon after!
In the surroundings, the exodus of many existences leaving their homes and surging towards the Main Reality continued, the periphery of many Primordial Domains experiencing this phenomenon as Realities were getting shattered and stepped in such large numbers as if they were grains of sand upon a desert!
—
In a region within the Boundary Between Realities.
The remnants of shattered Prime Realities lay as a massive Amalgamation of golden sand formed into the visage of a feline creature with a wicked smile on its face could be seen breathing in.
Every time it did this, the light of the fractured Realities and any existences scrambling away were pulled towards it and devoured in its mouth in a horrific manner!
Behind it, Seas of golden sand roiled as they carried forth Dream LEGENDS at Ultima Strata and below- the massive feline like existence made of golden sand being a Dream Master under the Dimensional Ruler- The Longest Dream!
"Nothing here about the Enemy of the Dimension. Keep forging forward!"
OOOOH!
A bellow released from it in the form of a command as its aura was undeniable, a Haven surrounding its body as this was another existence that could be considered a Suzerain.
His forces were about to surge forward when all of a sudden, the Decretum of Dreams around this Suzerain trembled as its gaze turned into shock in the next second.
This gaze...barely turned upwards to see in the next instant that a massive rift had opened up above them- a rift that had a titanic visage of a foot descending towards them!
A foot!
It surged with shocking light and power that could decimate everything- a power that made this Grotto Haven Dream tremble as it surpassed anything in its imagination.
The only thing it could say as it gazed up at this astounding descending foot was...
"You...shouldn't be here-!"
WAA!
The foot descended with an authority of immense contempt and destruction as deadly bursts of the Essence of Natural Laws surrounded it!
A foot!
Wrapped around destructive tendrils of the Essence of Natural Laws, it descended upon an extremely powerful Dream Master who was under the Dimensional Ruler- The Longest Dream!
By no means was this Suzerain not powerful.
Being a Dream Master, it meant he had begun to peer at the truth of the Absolute Dream Authority as common Grotto Haven existences could not touch this being.
So this descending foot that made the very soul of a Suzerain Dream Master tremble?
It stemmed from someone exceptional.
HOOONG!
The shattered Realities pulsed as the Decretum of Dreams surged around the Dream Master even in his disbelief, but the descending foot continued down as it covered the massive figure of the Dream Master and the Legions behind it.
"OOOOH!"
An amalgamation of HERESEY rose around the Dream Master to defend, but it was shockingly nothing in the face of this foot as it was broken down along with its body at an extremely fast pace!
As this occurred, the area behind the Dream Master that had been painted with the sandy gold essence of the Dream Dimension trembled as massive fissures erupted, a bellowing Authority beginning to surge out.
"Impudence!"
it surged out with wondrous tendrils of Absolute Dream Authority, but against the descending foot that had acted first, it was too late.
BOOM!
Horrific waves of destruction permeated outwards as the small wisps of Absolute Dream Authority wrapping around the Dream Master became eradicated along with its Aspects of Existence, and all of the Legions being led by Ultima and Alpha Strata LEGENDS behind it that were covered by the titanic descending foot!
A Dream Master shockingly and unbelievably fell in a single strike.
"You dare?! You dare to make a move against those weaker than you?!"
WAA!
The terrifying authority that had surged out to try and prevent the early death of a Dream Master was profound and glorious.
It coagulated into a mass of swirling Dream Authority as every single particle of the Decretum of Dreams in the surroundings fell under its control.
It was the authority of a Dimensional Ruler.
It was the Longest Dream!
The visage of the descended foot pulsed as it was pulled up, a voice filled with coldness and confidence echoing out.
"You invade and destroy my home and expect me not to make a move because the enemies are weaker? Foolish dreamer. Either come out or get the fuck out so I can eradicate the rest."
...!
Boundless coldness and a sense of contempt against a visage of a Dimensional Ruler!
"A mere dog dares to be so bold? A mere Follower of a Named One?!"
HOONG!
Absolute Dream Authority erupted as the Longest Dream made a move.
It had not expected to be making a move so soon as it expected champions of Primordials to be sent to go against its Dream Masters, its role being to keep in check the most powerful combatants on their side.
Yet one such powerful combatant had made a move too quickly and incurred the great loss of a Dream Master!
Followers of the Named Ones.
Those who studied and moved under the banner of the existences exalted by Primordials- those that were only a level lower than the Great OPPENHEIMER!
They had begun to move.
Followers of the Named Ones may be apprehensive and not match up to the powerful Dimensional Rulers within their Dimensions, but when facing against their amalgamated wills in the vast Realities?
BOOOM!
They were not fearful as the stellar foot flashed to barely reflect the visage of a massive stellar humanoid whose eyes alone released the blinding light of too many Realities.
Crimson gold true blood formed into rivers as fragments of Realities floated across the Boundary Between Realities.
Husks of Dream LEGENDS and Nightmares could be seen as golden sand flowed listlessly in these bloody rivers in many regions.
Existences that had been sleeping over eons opened their eyes as they felt the weaving of the Age of Quintessence start off with a bang.
The forces of the Dream Dimension were innumerable as they permeated across many regions of the Primordial Domains-with many forces condensed in the domains outside of the Pure-Blooded RealityUrsidae and Royal Human Domains, but the forces of the Lineage that had the valor of the Last True Emperor was not to be looked down upon as the advancement of these forces was stopped within mere hours, Legions of Primordials expertly sent out exactly where they needed to be!
Like the weaving of an unseen net that was controlled by someone in the background, Legions were deployed in a manner that caused even these innumerable forces of the Dream Dimension to come to a halt.
If they wanted to proceed forward once more, they would have to overcome these Legions.
Outside of the Pure-Blooded Domains of the Reality Ursidae.
ZAP!
The massive stellar vessel carrying multiple Legions under the banner of Suzerain Jiyeon bloomed on the Frontlines as they appeared behind a defensive wall with massive Reality Ursidae moving in the distance, tendrils of gold sands being seen from afar as battle here was already underway.
"Our target is the one commanding the cluster of Dream Legions here, a Dream Master that our forces have come across before- The Nightwalker. We'll be coordinating with 4 other Suzerain Legions to take down this Nightmare before he is strengthened even more by delving into the souls of our people."
Suzerain Jiyeon spoke as her body pulsed with power.
Adjudicator Legions, Obsidian Adjudicator Legions, and then Suzerain Adjudicator Legions!
Led by prominent Grotto Haven Masters, Suzerain Legions were a core power of the Primordials as 5 of such Legions were placed to fight against a single Dream Master!
The vessel they were on surged towards where the battle was taking place as grotesque Nightmares could be seen in the distance weaving between realms of Dream and reality while battling different Legions of Pure-Blooded Primordials.
Their forces shone with black and gold colors as they seemed like a massive ocean that stretched back endlessly, a powerful aura situated at the center of all this as it was a titanic Nightmare releasing horrendous waves of power that surged towards four different directions.
Towards the Suzerains of the 4 other Legions that had already arrived here.
And now, a fifth one was entering the fray as the many eyes of the Nightwalker Dream Master turned towards the direction of Suzerain Jiyeon who disembarked the vessel along with the many Legions led by Ultima Strata LEGENDs with her.
Her body glimmered with a stellar light as she surged forward, two Legions backing her sides as her body enlarged into a massive Reality Ursidae, an illusory form of a DHARMA erupting above her as a Purple winged Reality Ursidae wielding crackling balls of thundering light manifested!
Noah observed this and many more scenes as he was under the Legion led by the Ultima Strata Representative Aileron- this being moving with surgical precision to enter the defense lines of Pure-Blooded Primordials before then to reinforce while the rest of the Legions backed Suzerain Jiyeon as she joined the fray.
The goal for her and the other 4 Suzerain Grotto Haven Masters was to withstand the attacks of The Nightwalker Dream Master while forging a path forward until ultimately, they destroyed everything about him.
"Stay close together and reinforce each other. Know your level of power and don't try to take on enemies you cannot. The crux of all this is to work together as in such a field of battle, individual results are negligible unless you are a Suzerain!"
Representative Aileron spoke out powerfully as Akaris and Juliette among others fused with their authority, Noah erupting with a devilish smile among them as his eyes swam with countless tendrils of destiny!
A bloody battlefield filled with countless existences.
This was something that Noah loved the most!
He couldn't consider himself a peace-loving person due to this as he genuinely thrived on chaos.
And at this moment, the unfolding chaos was grand as many Legions led by Ultima Strata LEGENDs could be seen stretched across the mass of black and gold that was a mixture of majority Nightmare and then Dream LEGENDS that seemed like an endless sea.
Nightmares in the forms of apparitions and obscene forms of Races.
Dream LEGENDS that shifted their forms with the endless grains of golden sand.
Their numbers accumulated in the hundreds of millions, and this was only in this region where a single Nightmare Dream Master was attacking!
It was a wonder to see as the whole area pulsed with the Decretum of Dreams!
And all of it...stood before Noah in a spectacular fashion.
The last time he displayed his power was in the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest as he was able to defeat an Alpha Strata LEGEND in the eyes of Primordials, and now days later...his main targets were not even beings of this level anymore!
What he sought were the most were Ultima Strata existences who had the most premium loot, Alpha Strata existences coming next as he could farm many Grotto Panaceas from them.
The more Grotto Panaceas he attained, the faster he could forge his Dimensional Layers and become even more powerful as he would utilize this unfolding war he was partly responsible for in the best possible manner.
"Let's go!"
Akaris bellowed out while Representative Aileron shone with incandescent light, diving towards a massive Iguana made of dreamy sand at the Ultima Strata while those below him surged to match the Alpha and Beta Strata Dream LEGENDS surrounding it.
REIFIED and DHARMA abilities unfurled all around as everywhere one looked, they would see battling beings falling one after another or others focused on their own battles that took many seconds as others even took minutes!
For Noah, a battle shouldn't be like this.
It shouldn't take you too many seconds to take care of your enemy as if it had to reach such a point, it meant you didn't prepare enough and were leaving the outcome of the battle up to Destiny.
No.
One had to be explosive when they battled.
They had to clear the fields and Seas of enemies as when those he was with joined the fray, they began to display such power!
After entering the stage of a LEGEND, Akaris had raised her power to not just be able to withstand a Beta Strata LEGEND- her dazzling abilities now reaching towards the Alpha Strata Realm as Juliette barely made it to Peak Beta.
Then there was Katelyn's Mirror Clone and him.
Katelyn's power was fluctuating as in the Mirror Castle within the Mirror Dimension that Noah had put under Time Dilation, he had successfully elevated her to be a Triple Limit Breaker as she was now Dual Cultivating with him while ascending to the stage of Primogenial LEGENDS...and it did not seem like this Dimensional Royalty would stop there!
When she joined the fray, countless mirrors bloomed to enclose dozens of Beta Strata Nightmares and even a single one at the Alpha Strata as her Clone moved to test her rising power.
Then there was Noah himself.
As he observed the larger span of the battle and the points where Ultima Strata LEGENDs like Representative Aileron moved, his breath calmed as his eyes captured many things.
When others made a move, they contributed to the battle as the stronger side would slowly show itself over time.
When Noah joined the battle, an untold supremacy would be expressed as he would not just contribute.
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor would dominate.
HUUUM!
His soul began to buzz as he silently thought.
'Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique.'
...!
Interminable essence surged around him as he didn't even lift a finger.
He only spoke out loud two words as even the nearby Primordial felt a shiver course deep in their souls.
His Tri-Pupiled eyes shone as they released a radiant light of glory.
"First Form."
"..."
HUUM!
The space above him quaked as a Star of Illumination bloomed.
"...!"
The destinies of nearby Ultima Strata existences rang out warning signs of danger as they turned their eyes towards his direction!
Their eyes and perception could barely see, but those of the Alpha Strata and below weren't even able to perceive it as this multi-target area of effect skill surged out with millions of volatile rays of severing light in the form of the Assassin Emperor of Severance!
After the boosts of Noah's base True Damage Values paired with the dual effect of the Throne of Quintessential Tyranny, the multipliers of his 180 Ascendancy Halos that he filled with TABOO Edicts that had undergone Concept Amalgamation, and the new boosts from the percentages in his Natural Laws of Reality and Decretum of Dimensions...it all came to grant Noah a ridiculous Damage Value of 170 Billion.
He had already exceeded the base 100 Billion of the Ultima Strata as this single cast of the First Form of the Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique caused some Ultima Strata existences to feel a great threat!
As for the Seas of targeted beings lesser than this level?
A glorious scene showed in their midst.
The dazzling gold and black lights that represented clusters of millions of Nightmares and Dream LEGENDS flickered.
Then they began to dwindle like fading twinkling lights that were snuffed out as they faced immediate and desolate destruction!
Millions of Primogenial LEGENDS, hundreds of Beta Strata LEGENDS, and dozens of immensely powerful Alpha Strata Legion Commanders perished as the sea of gold and black was fading for the entire region near Noah.
And it was even expanding outwards as the damage was extensive and horrendous to the point that even the eyes of the powerfully fighting all nearby Ultima Strata LEGENDs turned towards his direction, a particularly powerful Ultima Strata Dream LEGENDS in the form of a Gynosphinx roaring out as immense Dream Authority surged from it!
A wave of golden sand erupted as it came to blanket the shining Star of Illumination, this wave of Dream Essence carrying with it a few hundred Billion Damage Values.
The Star of Illumination was covered.
"ROAR!"
The Gynosphynx bellowed out as the golden waves of sand constricted and dissipated the Star of Illumination!
But the ferocity and power of battle in this region lulled.
The eyes of this Gynosphinx and many other Ultima Strata existences shone dangerously as they gazed in Noah's direction.
Representative Aileron had eyes of incredulity as he also turned towards Noah's direction!
The pace of the battle changed as the vast sea of black and gold that represented Nightmares and Dream LEGENDS...had a chunk that was dead and lifeless from the actions of a single combatant!
When entering a battle, the Quintessential Kainos Emperor wasn't just like any other droves that moved to find an enemy to match!
He would gradually make this battle his own as eventually, he would become the Quintessential decider of its pace and result.
For those who knew him, there were results of shock and incredulity.
For those seeing him for the first time, there was also incredulity!
The Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs at the Ultima Strata focused their eyes on him as the massive Gynosphinx was soon accompanied by another two Ultima Strata LEGENDs to focus their wills here.
Seeing such a destructive being on the battlefield, they couldn't let him be.
"Move and protect!"
WAA!
The voice of Representative Aileron boomed out as he saw the target of three Ultima Strata LEGENDs change from Primordial Representatives to Noah, his eyes shining sharply as a massive golden DHARMIC idol rose above him.
It was the form of a humanoid Dragon Phoenix wielding flaming horns of golden splendor that shot out towards the Gynosphinx and others that were surging forward!
But this wasn't all.
Noah's single action had one more far-reaching repercussion as he eradicated Millions of Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs in a single blow.
Far, far in the distance, the massive apparition of the Suzerain Dream Master, The Nightwalker...this being gave a brief glance towards this direction.
Its body was the most massive thing on the battlefield as the 5 Primordial Suzerains matching it in five different directions were still a bit smaller in size.
Obsidian sands surrounded it as it seemed humanoid in nature, and yet the sands constantly moved in forms that reminded one of nightmarish Beasts.
Its apparition was holding a massive constantly changing black sword with jagged stellar edges of Reality, golden sands making its hilt while Obsidian nightmarish sands made its blade.
After gazing at the recent scene and the opposing sea of Primordials, a light of ingenuity and brutality shone within The Nightwalker as he grasped his massive nightmarish sword and called out with a guttural voice.
"Cataclysmic Unity Nightmare Sword."
...!
BZZT!
The massive sword in its hands hummed.
The essence of HERESY surged.
The Decretum of Dreams vibrated and surged as the expression of Suzerain Jiyeon and the others changed!
Behind The Nightwalker, countless forms of flaming black illusory swords bloomed.
Countess swords that in the next instant rushed together to fuse into a single point- forming a massive Obsidian nightmare sword that was one-eighth the size of this whole battlefield!
It aimed at the vast Seas of Primordials opposing the sea of black and gold Dreams and Nightmares.
...!
"Intercept!"
A Suzerain with the form of a massive Willow Tree bellowed out as his body released countless branches of illusory light.
Singularities of seeds constantly bloomed from these branches into dazzling rivers of Realities that surged forward!
Suzerain Jiyeon also bellowed out as a DHARMIC figure of herself manifested above her, her pure fists shining with flames of Reality as they thundered towards the Cataclysmic Unity Nightmare Sword!
The 5 Primordial Suzerains moved to intercept such a shocking blow as it would threaten to wipe out a huge cluster of their forces if they couldn't stop it.
The pace of the battle had changed.
The cause of it was a single being as his first action caused things to heat up and force beings to display their most powerful concepts!
Deadly waves of concepts screaming of Natural Laws of Reality and Decretum of Dimensions surged above them as they boasted Damage Values in the Trillions.
This was a battle that the Grotto Haven Suzerains would dominate as if any of them fell, it would decide where victory went.
As their stellar abilities weaved in the skies, Noah's heart felt a fantastical pull.
This was it.
The feeling of battle.
The rush of essence and blood coursing through one's blood as every microsecond counted!
HUUM!
At this juncture, a symphony began to thrum like the beat of a heart.
BOOM...BOOM...BA!
A symphony of horns of battle and the melody of a hero facing insurmountable odds!
...!
The gazes of many nearby beings looked around as defensive skills wrapped around their ears.
Was someone attacking their auditory senses?
The Primordials felt their blood burn and their bodies blaze with power when this symphony vibrated around them.
The Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs instead felt a demoralizing sensation wrap over them in a shocking fashion as truth be told, no side knew what was going on with the newly rising symphony!
The horns of battle resounded out as Noah's blood rushed with even more splendor as he felt even more robust and powerful!
At such a juncture, his figure took on a stance as his left arm swung forward while his right arm pointed back.
His legs took on a mesmerizing stance as he breathed in, essence surging from his surroundings and entering the soles of his feet as they circulated throughout his body.
HUUM!
Vibrant waves of the Essence of the Decretum of Dreams surged around him as they were masked and silent!
But with their movement, a silent wave of HERESY formed.
HERESY!
As two particularly powering Ultima Strata Nightmares came towards him led by a Gynosphinx, Noah's visage flashed as he called out calmly.
"Second Form."
...!
Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- Second Form was called out!
But just what exactly did it entail?!
The First Form of the Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Techniques was the combining of two skills to produce a multitarget Area of Effect ability with a deadly single chain effect.
Its Damage value wasn't truly amplified that much as for this aspect, we have to turn our eyes towards the Second Form.
When it came to the effects of Skill Succession. Noah could continue the chain of his linked skills, or he could form an entirely new chain if he wished.
For the 3 Linked abilities and 4 Linked abilities, they could be any combination he wished for as after they were born- he could designate them as the Second Form or Third Form!
Since the two linked abilities of Ascendant Severing Soul Star and Assassin Emperor of Severance were 2 linked abilities that made the First Form, Noah could go in sequence and have a 3 Linked ability for the Second Form and then a 4 linked ability for the Third Form- or he could make multiple 3 Linked abilities and give them the labels of Second and Third Forms.
This was because 3 Linked abilities cost 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality while 4 Linked abilities cost 500 Million! So at this point in time, he couldn't utilize 4 Linked abilities even if he made them as these abilities ignored any resource cancelation, reduction, or nullification. They had to be paid in full!
With this in mind, Noah chose three skills for Succession.
It wasn't anything overly complicated.
He kept the initial sequence of Ascendant Severing Soul Star and Assassin Emperor of Severance.
He just...added Fireball.
He just added the REIFIED form of Fireball- the Saintess of Fiery Damnation!
Noah didn't know what to expect when forming the first 3 Linked ability, but the results were something his main body was privy to first hand as they were stellar.
They were glorious!
[Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- Second Form]:: An amalgamation of 3 REIFIED abilities of the Star of Illumination, Assassin Emperor of Severance, and the Saintess of Fiery Damnation. It has brought to fruition the ability Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg. Your body becomes wrapped with the force of a star that is formed by the Essence of Gravitation, capable of being moved in a set sequence and shape as you will. The star around you is further reinforced by the Decretum of Dreams as it blazes with Dream Extermination Flames. Your figure can be propelled with the Essence of Gravitation as any who stand in your way will be burnt by the Dream Extermination Flames, and those in the immediate surroundings will further face a triple chain of volatile severing soul light. After your movement that establishes the pre-set sequence or shape, a DHARMIC form of it remains entrenched in reality as it pulls in enemies with a cataclysmic Gravitational force to be burned with Dream Extermination Flames and an extra chain of severing soul light, the Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg ultimately ending in an explosive shower of grandeur and might. The final output Damage Value of this ability is set to a minimum of 500 Billion True Dimensional Damage Values after accounting for your base boosts and multipliers. This minimum Damage can change and fluctuate in the future depending on your own base Damage and multipliers. Currently pre-set movement of the Blitzkrieg- Lemniscate. Cost to cast: 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality and 1 Trillion Mana.
Yes.
An ability that no matter what Noah's final damage output was after his base values and multipliers, it would release at a minimum of 500 Billion True Dimensional Damage Values!
When Noah increased his power in the days to come as his output became 600 Billion or even more, this ability would reflect that.
But its main wonders were the fact that it attributed a Natural Law and a Decretum.
It could be considered an ability of HERESY and at the same time...a DHARMIC ability!
"Second Form."
WA! WA! WA!
The symphony picked up the pace as 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality were burned at once.
Essence coiled and tumbled as the Natural Law of Gravitation bloomed around Noah in his mesmerizing stance.
His body became surrounded by a blinding light as he became the center point of a singularity.
There was no star of Illumination.
He was the shining star!
BZZT!
Every friendly near him was pushed away by a terrifying Gravitational force as the temperature around him turned blazing hot, space itself melting as his visage could no longer be seen.
It was covered by a golden light of a star was burned with tendrils of Dream Extermination Flames, his form only flickering like an illusion to be seen every now and then!
This was just the start up of the skill.
Its true usage would just now be employed as this was a movement attack type skill centered around Noah.
This was the Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Technique- Second Form.
Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg!
SHIING!
He shot out like an incandescent star of light.
Into the surging waves of the Sea of Black and Gold.
Into the depths of the enemy's Legions.
His left hand was outstretched in front of him as his right hand was behind him, each one coiling with a different Gravitational pull that caused the golden star and flames Noah was in to be tinged with the purple of the Natural Law of Gravitation!
He delved into the mass of Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs as the moment he appeared and began to move with the pull of gravity, everything in his surroundings was burnt into Oblivion.
But this wasn't all.
Those in the immediate surroundings who weren't in Noah's path of the Blitzkrieg felt their souls shudder as radiant purple-gold rays of light shot out, smashing into them with 500 Billion True Dimensional Damage Values as they went to chain another 2 times!
This occurred everywhere Noah passed in the sea of Nightmare and Dream LEGENDS as he conducted a charge that to others- it seemed like a blinding mass of gold and purple releasing tendrils of cataclysmic flames and rays of light was moving and burning Millions of the invaders from the Dream Dimension.
The most unique thing was that the path of this Blitzkrieg- the path of this star...it left behind a dazzling gold and purple linear form behind it that was enacting a shape!
A shape...that would ultimately form a Lemniscate.
An infinity symbol!
"OOOOH!"
Sending the obscene danger and Damage Values that reached half a Trillion, the Gynosphinx that was already moving after Noah saw his charge into their Legions as its figure flashed.
An Alpha Strata LEGEND that would have met with Noah's charge exploded into pure Dream Essence as the Gynosphinx appeared in its place, Seas of Dream Essence surging and forming into golden wings of blinding light that reinforced the Gynosphinx as its jaws opened to release a breath of pure Dream Essence.
Towards the shining star coming his way.
...!
The surge of flaming Dream Essence smashed onto the path of the Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg as wondrously, they were absorbed and dissipated by the Dream Extermination Flames as the charge continued.
Towards the Gynosphinx that had put itself on the path of this charge.
WA! WA! WA!
The symphony paved ever faster as in an instant, the blazing fiery star that enclosed Noah's figure bypassed the fiery Dream Essence breath and appeared before the jaws of the Gynosphinx.
But the charge didn't stop.
The Blitzkrieg wasn't halted for even a microsecond as Dream Extermination Flames and volatile rays of light surged out, the Innate Barrier around the Gynosphinx buzzing and trembling as it broke down and...!
SHAA!
The Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg passed through the body of the Gynosphinx.
...!
Through the visage of the powerful Ultima Strata Dream LEGEND as its figure exploded and was burned by the Dream Extermination Flames soon after!
SHAA!
Millions more Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs that were on the Lemniscate path of this Blitzkrieg faced the same fate as this shocking action and sequence had caught the eyes of all beings on the battlefield.
This was because the form of a purple and gold infinity symbol had been carved out on the Legions of the Dimensional existences, covering over one-tenth of the vast sea of black and white closest to the Primordial Legions as within a matter of a few microseconds, the Lemniscate was nearly complete!
An Ultima Strata LEGEND had stood within its way and perished as it carved its unstoppable path, a foreboding feeling welling in the destinies of nearby Ultima Nightmares when they saw this Lemniscate about to complete.
Three more Ultima Strata LEGENDs surged forward in to stop its advancement as wondrously, it was too fast.
The path of the Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg was completed just as they were a few light years away, Noah returning to the position he started as when the DHARMIC forms of purple and gold met, a sound akin to a gate closing rang out.
The symphony came to a halt.
The radiant infinity symbol of purple and gold began to blaze with light as it erupted with a shocking Gravitational force!
The last phase of the Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg was being enacted!
The completed Infinity symbol that had burned everything in its path while it was being etched released a horrific Gravitational pull as there were still Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs in even larger numbers within the two circles of this Lemniscate.
These Dimensional existences were drawn in.
Those outside of this Lemniscate for tens of light years were also drawn to it as the three Ultima Strata LEGENDs that wanted to stop it also faced an astounding Gravitational pull that they couldn't deny!
Dream Extermination Flames burned brightly as the entrenched infinity symbol of the Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg began to shine with an explosive light after pulling in as many nearby enemies as possible, a soul rending explosion booming out along with the resumption of a shocking symphony!
BOOOOOM!
