The Sword of Avalon was a stupendous treasure that even Nature Integration experts could not wield for all this time.
Its base capabilities and boosts were maddening enough, but its features were even more so!
To prevent the Daughter of Hatred from making a quick return to the Apollyon Dimension, Noah called out powerfully.
"Valor of Avalon."
…!
The Sword of Avalon released a blinding light that bathed over Guinevere, Morgana…all the Avalonians around Noah!
The Valor of Avalon.
It was an apt name for a terrifying skill that would express the valor of the beings of this Dimension!
Valor of Avalon: The progeny of Avalon were the subject of protection during the conception of the Sword of Avalon. This ability activates the Bloodline of all nearby Avalonians apart from the Imperius Avallonis to accept the source of the Sword of Avalon and burn with wisps of Absolute Avalon Authority constantly for the next hour, entering a state of Valor Empowerment that boosts their Essence Reserves, True Vitality Values, True Damage Values, and True Defense Values by 1,000%. Their usage of the Decretum of Avalon also becomes extremely efficient as all abilities cast with the inclusion of its essence will have their required resource halved. Lastly, all those blessed by the Valor of Avalon receive the reality-altering effects of [Unyielding Valor] that triggers the moment their True Vitality Values drop below 30%, instantly replenishing their True Vitality Values by 200%. To cast this ability, 50 Units of the Avalon Absolute Authority, 10 Billion Units of the Essence of Avalon, and 1 Billion Units of the Essence of Reality are required. The cool down before the ability can be utilized again is 1 day…
An ability that truly showed the Sword of Avalon was meant for Avalonians!
An ability that by all means was not directed towards Noah.
It even specified so, as Noah would truly love to have the boosts brought forth by such a ridiculous feature- but it was meant to be a buff from the Sword of Avalon to all Avalonians but its holder! This seemed to be a sense of sacrifice to make such ridiculous reality-altering effects possible, as Valor of Avalon effectively granted the percentage boosts of basically a Fundamental Natural Law or Decretum of a Dimension!
It then greatly strengthened Avalonians to a maddening extent as when cast and Noah paid the ridiculous resource costs…
Grandeur bloomed in the skies as the Sword of Avalon expanded with an illusory light that seemingly scattered and shot into the figures of every single Avalonian nearby.
Into the majestic visage of Guinevere whose will wrapped around Noah while she tried to understand him subtly, her voice echoing out in his mind.
For you to utilize this now, what is it that you seek? Us fighting the Daughter of Hatred to death would mean great losses as our main enemies would only benefit.
The Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast was feeling a ridiculous surge of her power as she asked serenely.
Bathed on a magisterial purple light, Noah felt his nearly empty reserves of the Essence of Reality that were rapidly regenerating as he breathed in the air of the terrifying authority he wielded and replied.
"At least one."
WAA!
"I need at least one traitor left behind and contained, and alive at that."
…!
His intention was made clear as the glacial Tri-Pupiled eyes of this Connate Avalonian Sacred Dragon Beast flashed, and with the boost of Valor of Avalon- she surged towards Lilith who was continuing to pull the Traitorous Dimensional Rulers away with her eyes changing ever so subtly!
On the side, Morgana also felt the surge of strength and empowerment on her and her Enchanted Nature Integration Beasts as she gazed towards Noah's figure with frustration, shaking her head soon after as her Beasts moved forward!
The means of fighting for Nature Integration experts could barely be discerned and understood by those at the lower level.
This was because in the skies, there were constantly surging tendrils and chains of completely understood Decrata and Natural Laws surging and fighting for supremacy to carve out the Domains of these experts that they controlled.
Those lesser in power…might not even be able to perceive the tendrils of Absolute Authorities as they might just think it was the skies pressing down!
At this moment, after attaining such a ridiculous boost…Guinevere was at the forefront as she managed to intrude into the domain of Absolute Authorities that Lilith had set out.
This wasn't even the main body of the Daughter of Hatred as or couldn't display her full power- so being able to hold her down would not be an impossible task for the Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast!
While she did this…
Morgana, swarm and cut off all routes of retreat of at least one of the Traitorous Dimensional Rulers.
Her voice entered Morgana's mind as the Enchantress moved without delay.
She gazed at the Traitorous Dimensional Rulers that were also fighting and holding back Dimensional Ruler Arthus and others as she locked onto a particular one.
Her eyes burned with anger as she could have chosen any of the three to have her Nature Integration Enchanted Beasts swarm, but she focused on one in particular.
Stay the fuck behind.
Towards traitors, she had no sympathy.
Towards one of them- towards the Heliotrope Lion Emperor…she said fuck you in particular!
So she moved while not knowing it was directly the command of the Imperius Avallonis!
OOOOOH!
At the same time, the skies of the Insula Avallonis lit up brightly as above it, the astounding illusory visage of a Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast flashed as it seemed to be constructed by multiple Natural Laws and Decreta!
It was titanic and terrifying in size as it seemed even larger than the whole vast stretches of Insula Avallonis.
It gazed at everything with coldness and apathy as it opened its jaws, beginning to release a sea of tendrils of Absolute Authorities that seemed capable of swallowing everything.
It was a terrifying ultimate move that caused the Daughter of Hatred to smack her lips in dissatisfaction, a massive figure of a Demoness also beginning to rise from the earth of the Insula Avallonis as a deafening explosion resounded soon after!
HOOONG!
The souls of even Suzerains felt pained and hurt by the pressure and prowess of Nature Integration existences, their clashes affecting the very structure of Reality as none even knew what the results of the clash were until the blinding light dispersed.
ROAAR!
A draconic roar rang out as Gravitation erupted to instantly wipe everything away, the scene becoming clear as the figure of the Daughter of Hatred could be seem thrown further into the rift leading to Apollyon, her mighty Will only being able to control her Absolute Authorities to wrap around and bring two Traitorous Dimensional Rulers with her deeper into the Rift!
For one Traitorous Dimensional Ruler, for the Heliotrope Lion Emperor…his visage was roaring out while surrounded by 8 Nature Integration Realm Enchanted Beasts as the region he was in was pristinely purple.
It was still in the Avalon Dimension as with the Daughter of Hatred being pushed back by the authority of Guinevere…he would not be able to leave!
HUUM!
And Dimensional Ruler Arthus and the others appeared as they came to stand in a line before the rift to the Apollyon Dimension and the decimated Groves and thickets of stellar trees of Insula Avallonis behind them, further isolating the Heliotrope Lion Emperor as all their domains would have to be bypassed to reach him!
...
The gaze of Lilith was cold at this as her enchanting demonic figure swayed with magnetizing radiance.
A rift separated the two forces as they stared at each other from two different Dimensions!
The one to cause all this gazed at the scene with calmness as he saw the roaring Heliotrope Lion Emperor enclosed on all sides and bound down by Natural Laws and Decreta, but he didn't make a move.
Even if he did, it wouldn't matter!
There was a reason why he asked Guinevere to keep behind at least one Nature Integration Traitorous Dimensional Ruler in the midst of all this.
One…could not kill a Nature Integration expert without having achieved 100% in at least a Natural Law or Decretum.
Such beings were that pristine.
So even if they were heavily injured, an elevated authority wrapped around their Aspects of Existence that were integrated with the fabric of Reality as to bypass them and grant such beings true death, the prerequisite was at least 100% Understanding in a Natural Law or Decretum of a Dimension!
You've taken something from me yet again.
WAA!
On the other side of the Rift, the Daughter of Hatred spoke out calmly as her voice carried enticing waves that Guinevere rebuffed once more, her glacial eyes Cole as they never once left Lilith's figure.
Uniquely, Lilith only paid attention to her with her will as her eyes were mainly focused on Noah!
Noah who at this moment brought the Sword of Avalon upwards and swung diagonally while staring at the figures of Lilith and two maddened Traitorous Dimensional Rulers already within the lands of the Apollyon Dimension.
"Now…you are allowed to leave."
SHIING!
The incandescent purple Sword of Avalon swung diagonally with majesty.
Its authority over the Decretum of Avalon was just enough that towards the Rift that was already closing through Lilith's intention- it was able to hasten this process and cause the rift to fade away even faster until only a thin slit remained!
Every move of his carried majesty as at such a juncture, the Avallonis Beasts around Insula Avallonis couldn't help but roar and cry out!
"Imperius Avallonis!"
"IMPERIUS AVALLONIS!"
The Emperor of Avalon!
Reverberations of authority and wonder surged out with fervor atop an incandescent idyllic landmass.
Below it, waterfalls of purple essence became even more radiant as brilliance began to emanate from this location while spreading out far and wide!
—
The visage of Lilith watched the closing rift as at the end, her eyes locked onto the resplendent Tri-Pupils of the Irregular she did not reveal the identity of.
After all, this was something for her to play with.
Fuck!
Beside her, the Violaceous Reality Wolf bellowed out wrathfully as they had faced a tremendous setback this time around.
They had lost their Domains and millions of years of planning…all because a single being had appeared, pulled the Sword from Stone, and carried out such drastic acts!
Lilith smiled as she tuned out the curses and bellows of the two Dimensional Rulers near her as she thought about the Irregular.
This was the second time she had met him.
And she had once more faced a loss this time as well.
She…was not used to such a feeling!
She had only experienced this sensation when facing another man a long time ago.
A man that had long been forced out of the Desolate Mausoleum as Lilith expected to come across him again when she achieved her own goals.
Her enchanting smile became even more radiant as she never expected an existence like him to appear and shine with such brilliance!
And is he like him…or capable of exceeding him?
She voiced out loud as the two wrathful Traitorous Dimensional Rulers turned towards her at this moment.
Their hearts were full of anger, but they weren't clouded enough to direct any of this towards the Daughter of Hatred as the Magenta Abyss Sea Dragon contained its fumes of anger and asked lightly.
What now?
Hmm?
As if in a broken trance, Lilith raised her eyes and gazed at the two Traitorous Dimensional Rulers apathetically.
After losing their standing and positions in the Avalon Dimension, their worth had gone down a lot in her eyes as they could only fill the gaps of the Nature Integration Realm existences she controlled beneath her now!
So she voiced coldly and with authority for them to understand their new dynamic.
You two shall be deployed to the Niflheim Dimension to tip the scales of power and grant my body there full ownership of that Anchor. Be mindful of any movements of the Abominations released by Primordials.
WAA!
Her eyes gazed upon things too far away for others to even comprehend, moving powerful existences as if they were mere pieces atop a chess board as her thoughts were too abstruse to even understand!
In a domain within the Apollyon Dimension.
The visage of the mesmerizing Lilith floated grandly as the Magenta Abyss Sea Dragon and the Violaceous Reality Wolf stood before her, the grandeur of these Nature Integration existences being nothing before her as she spoke out while a crimson gateway formed before her.
Go through and be ready to set off. I don't want any more setbacks after this.
She let her will be known as the two Nature Integration existences nodded with cold eyes, their figures turning into streaks of light and disappearing into the crimson gateway as they would soon join the ranks of Lilith's forces in the Niflheim Dimension.
As the plans of one dimension faded, she would turn the loss into attaining victory for another Dimension entirely!
This was how the Dimensional Deceiver moved as after all this, she remained floating in the skies with a thoughtful expression.
Her demonic eyes were serene and filled with power as they gazed at the expanse of crimson around her as she spoke out.
It seems like I must pay them a visit. The eggshells we have been walking on seem to slowly be crumbling down…
She spoke with a hint of mystery and amusement as her fair crimson-tainted hands pointed to the skies, a radiant mirror shard a tenth her size appearing before her while her own body began to vibrate with the Essence of Natural Laws.
Waves of these essences surged as they actually amalgamated to form a thin outline of a figure that mimicked Lilith- this figure coming to stand before the Mirror share as a unique authority was activated!
HUUM!
Spatial Noland mirror essence fluctuated as it covered the Clone of Lilith- a Clone that was not even a wisp of a soul.
It was a mere fragment of thought built by the Essence of Natural Laws of Reality as it held no power whatsoever, and it could be eradicated with even a simple tap of one's finger!
This Fragment of a Thought flashed as it was covered by a unique spatial mirror-like light from the large mirror fragment before Lilith as within a few seconds, it disappeared.
—
Across the boundaries of space and time.
Within the Main Reality of the Desolate Mausoleum.
Inside a constantly changing stellar space filled with rivers of the Essence of Natural Laws and Decretum of Dimensions, a Heart could be seen releasing a radiant light while atop a grandiose pedestal that was surrounded by 12 majestic flaming thrones!
At this moment, one of the thrones shone brighter as before it, a large mirror shard appeared as it was flashing with a constant silver light.
This scene was observed by the many powerful wills on the 12 thrones as a sultry voice stemmed from one of them soon after.
"She seems to have caught on quickly, let's see what she has to say."
The voice wasn't laced with authority as these beings didn't need to do this before each other, an agreement passing through all of them as the stellar scenery around them instantly changed.
The Heart and Pedestal faded as the light around the thrones blazed even higher, seeming like radiant suns as they caused the black stellar space to instantly fade and for everything to turn white!
At such a juncture, essence flowed into the flashing mirror shard as it reflected out a dazzling image.
It was none other than the visage of a beautiful demoness who could topple empires and entire Lineages as the Fragment of Thought that made Lilith actually appeared before the wills of the Tribunal!
A Dimensional Hellion Ruler…and the Tribunal!
Lilith's visage was tantalizing as her Fragment of Thought turned and gazed at all 12 blazing thrones, eventually coming to a stop on one in particular as a laugh actually came from this throne- and this time it was filled with authority.
You identified the position of my will yet again, O Dimensional Deceiver.
The voice was laid back as a devilish smile bloomed on Lilith's face while she replied.
I have good eyes for this, Little Althea. Eyes that have also allowed me to see that you all are breaking your end of the bargain. A Dimensional Inimicus rising from the Desolate Mausoleum? You sending your forces- nay…your Abominations to the Dream Dimension…all of this is exceeding the bargain we made all those years ago.
WAA!
Her voice seemed to contain anger and ridicule as she even placed the word Little before the name of a Nature Integration Realm member of the Tribunal!
And it was one of the more powerful members at that as the one known as Althea replied back with the same anger and coldness.
We are breaking our end of the bargain? Who was it that tried to eradicate a portion of our Geniuses in a Grotto Sanctum? And the few forces we stationed in the 9 Anchors all of a sudden faced attacks on all sides…I would be a fool not to suspect you to be behind this.
…!
The figures of those within the thrones couldn't be seen, but one could almost feel the sharp eyes of Althea as she said these words!
The devilish smile on Lilith became even wider as she thought of her movements recently.
She had spurned the forces under the Heliotrope Lion Emperor, Magenta Abyss Sea Dragon, and the Violaceous Reality Wolf to nearly eradicate all Primordial Strongholds in the Avalon Dimension, and she was doing the same in the Niflheim Dimension and all others as the Hearts of Karma and Fortune had given her an indication of a coming change- causing her to move just a little bit faster!
Of course, none of this had to be said as her devilish smile still contained a sense of anger while she replied.
With my power, do you really think your Geniuses would have escaped alive if I didn't let them? Do you really believe the story that a youngling from your side was actually able to eradicate even a single minor will of mine? I kept up the facade and acted defeated while letting all of them leave…so do not use this as the reason for you breaking promises once more!
WAA!
Your Primordials are particularly good at not keeping your words…just like your founder.
…!
Lilith's Fragment of Thought moved from the Mirror fragment as she floated towards the blazing throne of Althea in this stellar white space.
Years ago, I approached you as we came to an agreement that in this Age…my forces would not come to clash with you all on the fight for the True Throne as your forces would not delve too deep into the Dimensions, while I wouldn't spur my forces to raze down your Realities. So…what are these Abominations you are releasing now? What has caused you all to grow so bold at this point in time?
…!
Shocking truths mixed with lies were released as they fantastically shed some light on the true workings of Reality that those with power had forged in the past Age!
As the Age of Destiny ended along with the Olden Era, the Primordials had actually come to an agreement with one of the most powerful Rulers of the 9 Anchors as this had ushered in an Era of relative peace!
With the string restrictions of the 9 Dimensions, no high costs were paid to have their forces enter a prolonged war with the Infinite Realities. And even with their victory in the last Age, the Primordials only attained Strongholds in the 9 Dimension as they didn't venture too deep in.
Their Lineages even mixed as existences like Katelyn and Lancelot rose!
Now, during the ushering of the Age of Quintessence, things were rapidly changing as allegiances and agreements made a long time ago were falling apart.
The Fragment of Thought of Lilith gazed calmly at the blazing throne before her as she continued slowly.
Is it your Master? Did he send these Abominations to you and granted you all so much more courage? His schemes for these lands are still not done even when he is so far away?
…!
The blank space had been silent with the voice of Lilith echoing out as at this moment, this changed.
I tire of this.
HUUM!
A deep and collected voice.
A voice full of power and reality that stemmed from another throne.
It does not seem like you can provide us with anything crucial anymore, so there is no need for any pretenses. This will be the last you will even be able to communicate with us.
The voice boomed out with great authority as tendrils of Manadynamics and Entropy surged vibrantly with it!
Lilith instantly placed who it stemmed from as her smile became even more devilish.
The Eminent Mastermind, Noah…even a boorish fellow like you is still acting like a dog? Do you not have your own aspirations? Do you wish to attain the Seat of the True Emperor yourself? Will you be fighting with the rest of the Tribunal when the time comes, or have you all decided the one you will follow and lick the feet of?
Her words were vile as their effects were obvious, but the beings she prompted were unmoved.
The words of the Eminent Mastermind only came out again as the stellar blank of white space began to tremble.
Prepare yourself. Remember your title as a Daughter of Hatred and what the Great Commander did to your father all those years ago. Be ready for what is to come as on the path to the Seat of the True Emperor…the most powerful beings are the ones to perish first.
HOOONG!
The buzzing became even more vibrant as the Fragment of Thought that was made from the Essence of Natural Laws began to crumble!
Haha!
The devilish laugh of Lilith echoed out in the stellar space as she gazed at all the thrones while her Thought was fading away.
Then I shall take this as a Declaration of War and see you all on the battlefield.
A glimmer of shining light shone as waves of destiny erupted, the Fragment of Thought disappearing entirely as the Mirror fragment it stemmed from was also shattered!
At the other end of this mirror, the same thing occurred as while surrounded by pillars of flaming magma, the eyes of Lilith released a demonic light as the Fundamental Natural Law of Providence instantly burst out with fervor around her.
Those who intricately made moves and influenced the Destiny, Fate, Karma, and Fortune of the Desolate Mausoleum and the 9 Dimensions would find it much easier and attain even more authority over Providence in time.
She had been feeling this intricately as at the same time, a destructive Fundamental Natural Law also erupted out as she twirled its essence that even overwhelmed Providence and Manadynamics while voicing out.
Let Entropy become even more chaotic then…let us advance things just a little more…
She calculated too many thoughts and possibilities as her eyes reflected countless paths, another being trying to do the same in a Dimension she had just been forced out of!
—
At the center of Insula Avallonis.
Noah gazed at the majestic visage of the purple-furred Heliotrope Lion Emperor whose unblemished figure now had grotesque injuries that were bound up by chains of the Natural Law of Gravitation and Manadynamics 5 Nature Integration Realm Enchanted Beasts also surrounding it on all sides and pressing down on such an existence as he couldn't move even a single cell!
The tendrils and chains of Natural Laws didn't just just bind his body, his very Aspects of Existence also being bound by Avalon and the shackles of Natural Laws under the authority of Guinevere and Morgana.
Their wills and the eyes of Dimensional Ruler Arthus and others like him gazed on with complex emotions as one of them even stepped out at this juncture and walked towards the Heliotrope Lion Emperor whose eyes looked nowhere but down.
Emerillon…I cannot begin to fathom why.
An aged figure put away a dazzling long staff as he signed and sat down beside the Heliotrope Lion Emperor- Emerillon, as the hooded robe he had on was brought down.
Two chalices appeared on the lilac grasses stained with purple-gold blood as a pristine liquid filled them, this aged figure that was known as the Wizard of Avalon- Merlin, releasing a sad sigh as he drank!
Beings who had lived as long as them were close to very few, so the recent course of events hit the Dimensional Rulers of Avalon hard as Morgana's figure was still fuming not far away.
Why can I not have my Beasts rip apart this wretched Traitor right now?!
She gazed towards Guinevere as she spoke, the Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast saying nothing as she gazed towards the man that floated off the stone while carrying the Sword of Avalon on his shoulders- his grace and valiance unmatched even now.
"Because the Sword of Avalon shall be what decimates his Aspects of Existence soon. Before that, I shall scour the Avalon Dimension for any remaining Avalonians that have turned their backs on this Dimension. Thereafter…those willing shall follow me to the Dream Dimension to stop the advancement of the Abominations before they can reign over that Dimension and begin to spread the influence of Primordials further. There is much to be done."
WAA!
"...There is much to be done."
Noah spoke nonchalantly as even in this touching moment of betrayal and emotions among Nature Integration Realm existences, he floated past them while only seeing the Heliotrope Lion Emperor who couldn't even raise his head as nothing but a source of loot!
A source of loot he could only attain after achieving 100% Understanding in a Decretum, with Avalon being the closest one as while grasping this Sword in his hands, he could feel the percentages rising ever so slowly.
It may only take a day or two paired up with the percentages that his Reality Passages could provide, but it was achievable.
For now…he would seek the Suzerains under the three Traitorous Dimensional Rulers as if any of them granted him the reason to be deemed the Enemies of Avalon, they could only lay beneath his feet as loot- the workings of the HERESY Tier Resplendent Treasure Emperor finally being put into play!
Noah's attention went past the Heliotrope Lion Emperor as he flew at the edges of Insula Avallonis, the Beasts that had paid respect to him rising at the same time as the first one Noah came across came forward the closest.
"Emperor."
The Avallonis Charybdis bowed its massive body while offering a position on its head, Noah going to land on this Suzerain Beast with some thought as his right hand hoisted the Sword of Avalon on his shoulder- taking a seat above the head of this Grotto Haven existence as he patted its head and spoke out!
"Let's go."
WAA!
A wave of purple rose with his words as a variety of shocking powerful Avallonis Beasts moved with him, his visage flying out towards the Domains of the three Traitorous Dimensional Rulers to seek viable loot as he left behind the powerhouses of the Avalon Dimension without another word! He would give them time as even though he couldn't command them right now, having Guinevere follow his words somewhat meant it was only a matter of time.
So like a true Emperor of Avalon, a sea of powerful Beasts accompanied him as he moved!
—
Radiance.
This was the only word that could be said for the situation around Noah's Main Body while his Dimensional Bodies conducted their movements.
He always had a unique stellar glow, but he was recently gaining an even more radiant feel as the cause of it now stemmed from his very Lineage and Soul!
Soul as it was due to the branded Concepts within being elevated, Lineage because as these concepts changed, they further tipped the power and rank of his main Lineage greatly.
The Dictum Emperor has broken past great limitations and achieved DHARMA. Entering the stage of DHARMA with a moderately compatible Natural Law of Polarity has caused the standing of this concept to stand out slightly.
After the Resplendent Treasure Emperor, the Dictum Emperor followed as it was among the reasons for the shocking radiance around his body!
But more concepts had also taken a step forward as they caused an Absolute limit to be breached!
The Tyrannical Emperor has broken past great limitations and achieved DHARMA. Entering the stage of DHARMA with a highly compatible Natural Law of Manadynamics has caused the standing of this concept to stand out even more, and its abilities greatly enhanced…
The Sanguine Emperor has broken past great limitations and achieved HERESY. Entering the stage of HERESY with a highly compatible Decretum of Prana has caused the standing of this concept to stand out even more, and its abilities greatly enhanced...
The Antediluvian has broken past great limitations and achieved HERESY. Entering the stage of HERESY with a highly compatible Decretum of Prana has caused the standing of this concept to stand out even more, its abilities greatly enhanced…
An influx of information came along with wondrously blooming changes, Noah holding off the Bundles of prompts to focus on a single one that was causing the greatest change within him!
From the Dictum Emperor and Antediluvian…
The VENERABLE Bloodline of the Golden Lemegeton has been attained.
The VENERABLE Bloodline of the Sapling of Reality has been attained.
And from the Sanguine Emperor where Noah's uniqueness with Ascendancy Halos, Blood, and even where the Quintessential Kainos Emperor stemmed from…
Your Lineage is beginning to transform.
His main Lineage took a step forward.
Noah's Lineage of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor that had been assimilating all Bloodlines this whole time.
It had remained at VENERABLE and was undergoing the process of elevating to the next stage even as it devoured the VENERABLE Bloodline of the Haven Eclipsing Destiny Stone, Preponderant Irminsul…and the myriad of other Bloodlines Noah attained!
With all these factors and the newly elevated HERESY and DHARMA Tier Edicts granting more VENERABLE Bloodlines, the progression was finally tipped over the edge as the barrier holding everything up broke apart.
The Bloodline of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor has exceeded the limitations of VENERABLE and is stepping onto the stage of ZENITH.
HUUUM!
Noah's blood quite literally boiled.
His very cells felt like they were burning and undergoing stupendous changes as the figure of his stellar main body became covered by surging waves of blood that shone a myriad of colors!
ZENITH!
This was the stage past VENERABLE as what did it mean?
It related to the words pinnacle or apex- where it was most commonly known as the highest point of something at the time of observation!
This was ZENITH. The stage of a Lineage that the Connate Avalonian Sacred Dragon Beast- Guinevere had reached.
The stage of Lineage that the unique demoness Lilith and other powerful existences in the 9 Anchors and Desolate Mausoleum held!
Noah had achieved such a level of a Bloodline a little bit over a year since he awakened to feel Mana.
"Hooo…"
He breathed out to calm himself as clouds of multicolored radiance shot from his mouth and elevated the concentration of essence in his surroundings further, every part of his body popping powerfully as the Throne his Will always occupied materialized fully below him.
The Throne of Quintessential Tyranny!
Its texture seemed crystalline yet metallic, its color cemented to be a stellar mixture of a dark crimson gold.
Noah fully sat on this throne of authority that experienced its own elevation in order to sift through the many changes blooming within him.
The changes were too grand!
The blooming changes were so ridiculous that the bubbling blood within him broke like a dam and went on to pervade into his Origin.
His Origin which contained three Dimensional Layers faced an unprecedented shock as fantastical volumes of crimson gold blood tinged with a myriad of other colors washed into it like endless waves that went on to bathe the Dream, Prana, and Avalon Cosmos that were rotating beautifully!
They went on to bathe the mountainous Reality Passages and the gold, green, and purple Ascendancy Stanchions as it seemed like Noah's origin was undergoing a great flood!
But the surging waves of blood contained pristine authority.
The Blood of immense Quintessential Kainos Authority has bathed over your Dimensional Realities.
You can choose an Aspect of your Origin to elevate and exceed its current limitations.
…!
"No way…"
A ridiculous prompt that even caused Noah's heart to tremble appeared.
This was the Age of Quintessence.
And he was the Quintessential Kainos Emperor!
He had to stand out and show that he was the most perfect example of an Emperor of this Age, and his Lineage that had reached ZENITH seemed to want to portray this the most as its elevation granted him the choice of exceeding a limitation of an Aspect of his Origin!
As for what limitation he wanted to exceed…
"The number of 100 Trillion Kainos Royal Cosmos seems just a bit low…"
WAA!
His voice echoed out domineeringly as the blood of the ZENITH Quintessential Kainos Emperor lit up his Origin like fireworks.
Kainos Royal Dream, Prana, and Avalon Cosmos shone like incandescent stars as they bore a great authority, Noah's entire Origin becoming more pristine!
The Maximum Number of Kainos Royal Cosmos within a Dimensional Reality has been raised from 100 Trillion to 200 Trillion.
It all culminated into a shocking result.
The cost of the formation of cosmic singularities will be correlated to the current cost of the highest achieved Dimensional Layer.
A ridiculous result that had too many consequences as it would undoubtedly make Noah even more ridiculously powerful…but as the theme remained for his Dimensional Realities- the resources required would also effectively double for him!
But what did he gain for expanding this pathway of his Origin?
100 Trillion Cosmos had completed his Dimensional Layers as each time, he gained 25% forceful understanding in the respective Dimension.
Exceeding this limitation now meant that Noah could effectively obtain another 25% forceful understanding at 200 Trillion Cosmos!
It was a shocking conclusion that meant the Decretum of Avalon…could be completed as soon as Noah focused on the Avalon Dimensional Reality.
And this was just the main point!
If the number of Cosmos were expanded, what about the limitations of the number of Reality Passages and Ascendancy Stanchions between the Dimensional Realities?!
"..."
The answer was unfathomable as Noah would have to see, his surroundings that were filled with dense Seas of essence constricting as dozens of Grotto Panaceas appeared.
His Clone in the Avalon Dimension with Silent Killer had continued to keep a steady supply of Loot coming as he sniped Alpha and Ultima Strata LEGENDs, where he was now even preparing to face the Grotto Haven Nightwalker that 5 Primordial Suzerains could not handle!
While the resources were negligible when thinking of the cost of the Fourth Dimensional Layer, he could still proceed with the cost of 375 Billion Kainos Royal Cosmos that was now shared equally by all three Dimensions!
The mystical stellar flower like treasures unfurled and turned into streams of light that sank into Noah as singularities of Kainos Royal Avalon Cosmos began to bloom.
The slow understanding of the Decretum of Avalon also began to rise ever faster as what took others Millions or Billions to achieve…would take Noah a day.
Because mind you, not even a full day had passed since he formed his Third Dimensional Layer and gained an initial understanding of its Decretum!
In this Age of Quintessence, who hell could even compare?
The ZENITH Quintessential Kainos Emperor Lineage remained true to the meaning of its name as this was merely the first surprise.
There were still changes unfolding even as Noah formed his singularities.
The effect of the Throne of Quintessential Tyranny has been elevated from True Dual Empowerment to True Quintuple Empowerment. While sitting upon the Throne, it also becomes easier to harmonize with Nature and grasp the mysteries of Natural Laws and Decreta.
A light of Illumination covered his incandescent throne as the innumerable weaving of particles of natural laws became even more discernible in his eyes.
With enough time spent on unlocking the complexities of the fabric of Reality around him, Noah felt like he won't even need to be within an Empyral Domain of Nature to grasp new Natural Laws!
And yet the boons of the ZENITH Quintessential Kainos Emperor were not done.
The elevation of your Lineage has followed the Will of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor and focused a large percentage of the remainder of its authority onto the ascension of the [Limit Breaking Mana Refinement]
Your wish to change the positions of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique and the Limit Breaking Mana Physique is being carried out by the remaining Quintessential Kainos Authority.
HOOONG!
A profound change he had wished for due to a recent change of events was carried out at this moment!
And it was bound to be a grand change as he wanted to utilize a powerful authority to change something fundamental about himself!
Upon the Throne, his stellar hands grabbed the hand rests tightly he couldn't help but bellow out, his mouth and eyes releasing beams of gold and blue light at this moment.
Gold for Dream, Blue for Mana.
The Process to commandeer the authority of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique has begun.
The conception of the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique has begun.
…!
Yes.
He had planned to strip away the authority of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique and grant it to something else entirely.
Something that at its core…had Mana.
The reason for this was because of the appearance of the greatest enemies that rejected what made up the very fabric of Reality!
The answer to oppose them…lay with Mana.
The Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique had been etched fundamentally within Noah's aspects of Existence as it affected too many things.
Through its many Cycles, he gained increased base Damage Values, an increased number of Reality Passages, and its milestones of cycles even affected other Physiques as its effects were thorough enough to even affect the Decretum of Dreams among other lesser features!
Now, Noah was conducting a complete restructuring of such a concept and converting it into something else.
From the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique to the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique!
BZZT!
Tendrils of Mana and Dream Essence began coiling around Noah's body dangerously as if they were fighting for Hegemony, Noah's visage half illuminated gold and half illuminated blue as ever so distinctly, the gold began to be eaten up as the blue of Mana gained more surface area.
It was a fundamental change that would take a little bit of time!
While his Aspects of Existence underwent these changes, his Will remained strong as it observed what was brought upon by others.
The elevation of the Dictum Emperor and Tyrannical Emperor had their own boons that when quantified in broad terms- they granted Noah an edge in Destiny and his path of Conquest.
But the prompts were too many as they would be gazed upon at a later time.
At this moment, the boons of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor which stemmed from the Sanguine Emperor continued to take the spotlight as among the many pathways of strength this concept provided Noah…it was also where his uniqueness in Ascendancy Halos stemmed from.
Thus, of course the redefined concept of Halos into Ascendancy Stanchions was elevated even more than before!
Noah put the prompts of the other concepts on hold as he focused on this aspect of Empowerment.
Due to the authority commandeered by the Quintessential Kainos Emperor from the concept of the Sanguine Emperor, the maximum number of conceptual Bloodlines fused to form the Ascendancy Stanchions has been increased to 120.
The first and what already seemed like the most ridiculous point.
The number of conceptual Bloodlines, or really the Flames of Edicts fused into a. Single Halo had now been ridiculously brought to a maximum of 120!
The greater the number of concepts and quality that make up Ascendancy Stanchions, the greater the stability afforded to the Unknown path of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor.
The unknown path forward has been illuminated ever so slightly, the possibility of your Origin withstanding the Integration of Natural Laws and Decreta being influenced by the stabilization of your Origin by Ascendancy Stanchions. When the 6th Dimensional Layer reaches full saturation and the maximum Ascendancy Stanchions are holding your Origin firm, the Integration of Decreta can be achieved instantaneously for the respective completed Dimensional Layers. For every single Dimensional Layer, a Natural Law of Reality can also be integrated after sufficient understanding.
The path forward was illuminated by the Ascendancy Stanchions.
So long as Noah could form and saturate his Sixth Dimensional Layer, the Stanchions would provide the stability within his Origin to make it possible to integrate Decreta and Natural Laws into himself!
It was a stupendous result brought about by an unbelievable elevation.
Noah had to absorb it all and take everything in thoroughly as while his Main Body did so…his Clones would provide the support and resources required to make it possible!
There were the actions of certain Clones that were worthy of note while Noah absorbed all the new changes from the elevation of so many concepts to HERESY and DHARMA.
They happened around the same time as one in particular was of significance!
It involved an enemy that Noah had run away from before.
It was the Nightwalker that had single-handedly taken on 5 other Suzerains due to an Absolute Dimensional Relic that he wielded!
Among exceptional existences or those blessed with fortune, he could be considered within their ranks.
But…this was just hours ago.
After the retreat of the Primordial Legions, the Legions under the Dreamwalker had not been able to proceed forward as his forces were sniped from all angles indiscriminately.
The power of these attacks was gradually rising and reaching unprecedented levels as whenever the Nightwalker was nearby, he would defend those he could quickly reach!
By now, his Legions surrounded him in a protective domain field while he grasped the Absolute Dimensional Relic within his hands tightly.
Far away from him, in an entirely different Dimension- the one responsible for all this was preparing while accounting for what he could do now.
His visage was carefree with his eyes utterly bright- eyes that were ready to see what new loot would come from a Grotto Haven existence as he would truly have to obtain over 800 Panaceas just to bring all three of his current Dimensional Layers to 200 Trillion Kainos Royal Cosmos.
So he looked forward to the result of the upgrades of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor while his body was also undergoing even more changes still!
He had attained enough power to match Suzerains and more as from upgrades of the multipliers of the
Ascendancy Stanchions, the increased base boosts of 450,000 from the completion of the Third Dimensional Layer, his Throne of Quintessential Tyranny, and the ridiculous Augmentation from Natural Laws and Decreta- especially the Decretum of Avalon whose augmentation exceeded 750%...it was all enough to culminate is propelling Noah to have nearly 10 times his battle power from just hours ago as he went from being able of dealing a few Trillion Damage Values to now being capable of approximately 30 Trillion Damage Values.
"..."
Yes!
It was a ridiculous number, and it was achieved much too quickly!
One didn't even have to fathom Noah's Innate Dimensional Barrier that was 500% of his strongest achievable Defense Value.
With such numbers…he should be capable of surviving against any Suzerain!
And so he made a move on the one whose weapon appeared under Aids and Cheats.
What was even more unique was that Noah's Clone remained in the Apollyon Dimension.
He didn't even make his presence known against his first Suzerain enemy as he didn't even cast any of his normal skills or abilities- simply utilizing the single target ability of Silent Killer while in another dimension entirely!
It was an utter show of disrespect.
SHIING!
In a nondescript area in the depths of the Rosebud Domain of the Golden Succubi.
Noah drew Silent Killer coldly!
Noah drew Silent Killer coldly as Infernal Hypersol's Kiss was cast.
The resource cost was something negligible now, but Apollyon essence converged as its effects were much different compared to the previous arrows he drew!
When the string was pulled back, it didn't seem like a crimson black arrow was being formed as instead, it was akin to the formation of a sharp blade of judgment that was ready to lay to waste whatever its target was.
HUUUM!
Infernal Hypersol's Kiss released a buzzing droning sound as Noah closed his eyes and pictured the image of a single being, the Essence of many Decreta and Natural Laws flowing into this attack as he released the bowstring.
SHIING!
The arrow was shot as it began to cross the folds of space.
Soon afterwards, the string on Silent Killer was pulled back again as for overkill, the area of effect Bombardier of Perdition was also cast.
—
The Nightwalker.
This was the name that he was known by as he walked beneath the shadows of Nightmares and Dreams to achieve shocking results.
His motto was to always lay low and only reveal himself when he absolutely had to, and it was why even with a Destined Absolute Dimensional Relic, he remained hidden while only utilizing it when he had to!
The goal was to not stand out and make any enemies too powerful for him to handle before he achieved Nature Integration.
Alas, the weaving of destiny did not follow the wishes of a single being as no matter how hard one tried, they would never be fully capable of controlling their fate.
The cloudy humanoid nightmarish form of the Nightwalker remained massive while he grasped the Absolute Nightmare Sword that released a powerful domain which wrapped around his remaining Legions.
He had commanded all Legions to closely cluster around him in order to protect them as they were even between the folds of Reality and Dreams to try and retreat into the Dream Dimension temporarily, but the attacks always followed them!
And now, they had stopped in the last few minutes as even in the tense state that the Dreams and Nightmares were in, they still looked around cautiously while not letting down their guard.
But this few minutes period…only caused the Nightwalker's heart to feel constricted.
As if something was tightening and closing in around him!
He trusted his instinct as even though he didn't have any other source of information, his essence blazed as his Haven spun.
Rings of Halos rotated wonderfully as bundles of Reality pulsed, wisps of Absolute Dream Authority even being called upon as the Absolute Nightmare Sword shone with brilliance.
"Dream Protecting Bastion."
WAA!
A radiant circular shield of light bloomed to cover all of Nightwalker and the Legions around him as over half of his Reserves of essence were burned to bring it to fruition.
Dream Protecting Bastion. A defensive skill meant to protect and keep alive one's dreams and aspirations!
By instinct, the Nightwalker had cast this as not even a moment later, his scalp began to tingle as he raised his head up in shock.
Above the newly deployed Bastion, a titanic visage of an arrow coiling with crimson black tendrils of Apollyon descended with judgment and damnation.
It raged with such power and destructive hatred that the moment it came in contact with the Dream Protecting Bastion, the golden shield burst open like a bubble as it continued smoothly forward!
That Bastion…was the equivalent of over 10 Trillion Defense Values as it was the Nightwalker's strongest defensive skill that he could cast through the Absolute Nightmare Sword.
And it was shredded apart like nothing as such a reality bore shocking implications.
It meant an outstanding being capable of tremendous damage Values amongst Suzerains had made a move against him.
His nightmarish heart burned with unwillingness as he wanted to bellow out- Who?!
BZZZT!
His Innate Dimensional Barrier protected him from 3 Trillion Damage Values.
His True Vitality Values were wondrously above 17 Trillion.
Would they be enough to withstand an attack that had shredded past 10 Trillion Defense Values of the Bastion like nothing?
The Nightwalker wouldn't wait to find out as he raised the Absolute Nightmare Sword and bellowed out- pulling together every wisp of essence that he could gather!
"OOOOH!"
The bellow of an Imperial Nightmare Oneiric that had lived for too long was filled with emotions of life and dreams as he met what seemed to be a crimson black sword of judgment and not even an arrow head on.
BOOOOOM!
Raging waves of destruction exploded out as even though it was a single target attack, any existences in the closest proximity of the Nightwalker were shredded out of Existence.
Essence storms raged as the fabric of Reality felt strained, utter chaos and destruction blooming in this region as shockingly, the Obsidian humanoid form of the Nightwalker wavered shakily while grasping the Absolute Nightmare Sword!
His many nightmarish eyes blinked in shock and fear as he felt his Innate Dimensional Barrier decimated as if it didn't exist, the Absolute Nightmare Sword taking on some of the Damage as even with all this- the single attack had taken his True Vitality Values all the way from 17 Trillion to below 1 Trillion!
His Origin creaked and felt strained as before he could even rise to collect himself…
"Ah…"
The Suzerain saw the flashing light of yet another arrow flash from above.
This was even more expansive than the others as it reminded him of the silent attacks he had seen that covered a wide region.
An area of effect ability, the Bombardier of Perdition that only dealt 50% of the normal Damage due to its area of effect!
And yet when it came, the Nightwalker knew that even this was too much at this moment in time as even though his hands tried to grasp and raise the Absolute Nightmare Sword up, he couldn't.
The Bombardier of Perdition arrived and bloomed- causing an incandescent mushroom of crimson and black death to rise as it covered the Nightwalker and his Legions.
"..."
A deadly and beautiful scene played out as there was nobody to appreciate it- a magisterial level of destruction displayed wantonly as the shockwaves reverberated out for light-years!
The destruction raged for quite some time before calming down.
When everything ended and the void cleared, all that was left behind was a glimmering Absolute Nightmare Sword.
No Haven stood within the cracks of Reality and Dreams.
A fairly powerful Haven was instead toppled on this day as even in his last moments, the Nightwalker could have never imagined that his demise was from an enemy that ran away from him just hours ago.
Apart from the Absolute Nightmare Sword, only the prompts that came into the mind of a single being remained!
Absolute Loot Authority is activated
An authority that granted Noah what he needed the most.
What exactly did he need the most now?
Obsidian red-bordered prompts came down to show him!
+10 Golden Dimensional Reality Panaceas have been attained.
+10 Universal Decretum Crystals have been attained.
+10 Universal Nature Crystals have been attained.
+10 ZENITH Quintessential Bloodline Enhancers have been attained.
…!
Noah's actions with the Nightwalker were just one of the many events proceeding at the same time that he conducted the restructuring of one of the Fundamental parts that made him.
The Legion of retreating Primordials he was with had no idea of what had just occurred with the Dream Master that had eradicated a Primordial Suzerain in their midst, their War Vessels and clusters of Adjudicator Legions and Will Bearers returning to a nearby established Primordial Stronghold where other Suzerains were stationed.
With heavy losses and in a time of defeat, Noah's exploits were known but not focused on as only Juliette, Akaris, and Representative Aileron reacted and talked with him in their Legion!
Even Suzerain Jiyeon was busy coordinating what to do next as nobody stood just to give Noah fanfare for his actions, with any rewards and acknowledgements occurring when the enemy was taken care of and the battles were over.
At this time, the Primordial Legions were put on hold to recuperate while they waited for commands on what to do next.
As a being who had shown his power and importance, Noah's Clone of Alexander was standing with Representative Aileron as they talked, the figures of Akaris and Juliette around them with difficult expressions while Katelyn's clone stood calmly not too far from Noah!
"It's not just here."
The valor of Representative Aileron was still present as he shook his head grimly while speaking.
"I've gotten word that while dealing with the forces from the Dream Dimension, the Pure-Blooded Domains of the Infinite Willow Trees were attacked by droves of Primordial Beasts with multiple Suzerains in the lead. The number of Prime and Emerging Realities that fell…"
…!
Abysmal news all around.
The hearts of those nearby sank as they thought, what response would the Primordial Assembly make to very quickly take care of this issue?
When stuck as such a thought, the Primordial Stronghold they were in that was enacted like a floating fortress Relic in the Boundary Between Realities began to bustle with activity as the wills of many beings shot out powerfully.
New entrants had appeared from one of the spatial formations as for them to cause such a bustle of wills…
"Reinforcements?"
Representative Aileron raided his brows with surprise as his Legion also sent their wills over to see what changes had occurred.
A lonely Primordial Suzerain appeared in the center of the teleportation circle, but his sides were accompanied by two massive gray-furred Beasts whose eyes shone with coldness and apathy!
One had the form of a Twelve-Tailed Cosmic Jaguar while the other stood powerful in the form of a Colossal Stellar Gorilla- their furs pristine and gray as they seemingly pushed away any Wills that came around them.
"These are the reinforcements?"
Even Representative Aileron did not know what they were as he moved forward quizzically to understand the situation as one of the leaders, leaving behind Noah whose eyes were hiding lustrous beams of light after seeing 2 Abominations appear!
The Primordials were beginning to deploy their True power- and in a shocking manner at that as it seemed Abominations would not just be active in Dimensions- these creatures were also being released into the vast Realities as many forces would come to learn of their terror in the days to come!
To the surprise of the Legions here, the Suzerain leading the two unknown Beasts was the only reinforcement they obtained as this being talked with Suzerain Jiyeon and the others to lead him to the forces that caused them to retreat.
Jiyeon and the other Grotto Haven existences held a hint of excitement in their eyes while they gazed forward- seemingly knowing something about these Beasts as they agreed and quickly got ready to move to the surprise of those below them!
Just these reinforcements were enough?
Disbelief was present to those who didn't know as soon after, the Primordial Legions in this area would move to seek retribution against the Nightwalker and his forces.
Uniquely, they wouldn't be able to come across their only enemy as the Dream Master had already perished under someone else's hands!
—
Another event worthy of note was within the bounds of the Mirror Dimension, where the Dual Cultivation session between Katelyn's main body and another one of Noah's Clone still continued.
"What are those Beasts?"
Their figures were covered by a vibrant light that hid everything from our eyes as while connected, Katelyn asked lightly.
As if she knew that somehow, Noah would just know about them!
"Abominations that reject the very workings of Nature and Decreta…"
He replied while remaining focused, seeing the ridiculous changes that Dual Cultivation brought to others- especially with him at the center as after he forged his Third Dimensional Layer and then also attained the ZENITH Quintessential Kainos Emperor Bloodline, the effectiveness was dialed up by a whole level as Katelyn had nearly saturated her Ultima Strata Origin and was now getting ready to enact a Haven!
He had also attained a Mythical Natural Born Mirror Physique and one of the distinguished Mirror Dimension Lineages as he set all of this aside for now to focus on how he could utilize Dual Cultivation the best.
This involved designating a Clone to do so in the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality with Adelaide, Barbados, and the others while also doing the same with Hecate Eranelon in the Apollyon Dimension.
The Conquest within this hellish Dimension would also change and progress rapidly as the Orc Daemon Commander who was at the peak of the Ultima Strata and seemed like a somewhat tall wall hours ago…was now nothing to Noah as he could steadily expand his influence within Lilith's home Dimension!
All of this…was just another set of paths Noah was taking as in addition to this, Noah had designated another clone to begin an arduous task within a different Dimension.
"Ready?"
Within another region of the Dimensional Holy Land, Noah's Clone stared at the radiant blue light surging in the distance from his main body as he spoke towards none other than Valdez Tepez.
The Kun Peng in human form that was now bound to Noah as a vassal sighed while nodding, a Dimensional rift beginning to open up before them as the deathly cold allure of the Niflheim Dimension could be felt!
Within this Dimension, there was a lot of chaos unfolding as beside it all, the forces of some of the Ancient Races were hidden here- along with traces of Commander Feng.
Noah wanted to meet these Hegemonies that had reigned in the past Ages before being toppled by OPPENHEIMER as he would also scout another Dimension that would be among those he would enact in his next three Dimensional Layers!
Within Noah's Expansive Space, a glimmer of new loot bloomed.
He viewed the prompts while a spatial light covered the clone that had shot the attacks with Silent Killer, this clone materializing on the decimated field of battle only after no life remained as the Essence of Gravitation erupted to pull the Absolute Nightmare Sword towards him.
A Destined Absolute Dimensional Relic!
It was a level lower than any Relic that had the term Connate as it couldn't compare to the Sword of Avalon or Lavalliere, and yet Noah had still seen this appear under Aids and Cheats.
He already had too many weapons and tools as this fantastical obsidian sword pulsing with tendrils of nightmarish essence was not for him.
He had seen it among the myriad of paths that could be taken with this Relic as its purpose was actually a sad one.
It was eventually to be utilized for the elevation of none other than RUINATION as with the Atlatl of Reality elevating along with the actions of the Gourmandizing Dimensional Reality and tools like Lavalliere and The Sword of Avalon appearing, this tool that aided Noah the longest could not be left behind!
So Noah took in the vibrant Absolute Nightmare Sword into the expansive space where within…four dazzling new loot had bloomed.
Golden Dimensional Reality Panacea.
This was the first as when Noah gazed upon it, he saw a hazy sandy golden earth. Atop this earth, a stem that shone like a river of Reality rose up as it connected to a flower whose petals themselves were dazzling rivers of Reality, and these reality flower buds held countless Dimensional Cosmos hidden within them as 10 of such treasures could be seen lighting up his Expansive Space!
Their details were even more unique.
Golden Dimensional Reality Panacea:: The Grotto Panacea informs the Quintessential Kainos Emperor not to worry as it has evolved into an even greater form- and even this is not its final form. After becoming a Dimensional Reality Panacea with the designation of Golden, it has molded itself into something truly compatible with the Dimensional Layers of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor. A single Golden Dimensional Reality Panacea is equivalent to the effects of 100 Grotto Panaceas when applied in the formation of anything past the Third Dimensional Layer. If being utilized to form cosmic singularities in any of the first three established layers, their rate of equivalency becomes 1000 to 1. The Dimensional Reality Panacea is expectant of the wonders it can achieve if you ever fulfill the conditions to bring an Obsidian or a Crimson Dimensional Reality Panacea to fruition…
"..."
It was a ridiculous Loot, to say the least.
And as Absolute Loot Authority promised, it was exactly what Noah needed!
The formation of the Third Dimensional Layer had required over 267 Grotto Panaceas from him- and that was before he doubled the number of maximum Kainos Royal Cosmos to 200 Trillion.
Now, the total cost for the Third Layer would be 534 as to forge The Fourth Dimensional Layer…he would need 4,272 Grotto Panaceas!
This was already a ridiculous number that would need Noah to do many days of farming, but it was a bearable number compared to what he would need for the Fifth Dimensional Layer- and it was simply the previous number of Grotto Panaceas times 16.
It was in the tens of thousands as it would have taken Noah forever!
Now, Golden Dimensional Reality Panaceas came along.
A single one was akin to 100 Grotto Panaceas as for the fourth layer, he would only need 43 Golden Dimensional Reality Panaceas instead of 4272 Grotto Panaceas to achieve completion!
That was just the looting of 5 Suzerains.
It shortened the gap towards Noah's strongest self by a lot as the path towards completing all 9 Dimensions became clear!
And all this…was if he utilized them on forming anything past the first 3 Layers.
If he utilized a single Golden Dimensional Reality Panacea on the Dream, Prana, and Avalon Dimensional Realities, it was akin to him utilizing 1,000 Grotto Panaceas!
It meant that the 800+ Grotto Panaceas he would have needed to fully saturate all three Dimensions after he exceeded the 100 Trillion would be taken care of by a single Golden Dimensional Reality Panacea.
It meant the possibility of producing excessive Kainos Royal Cosmos and having a few specific beings close to him devour them to increase their understanding in Decreta was even more of a feasibility!
This…was all from just a single one of the new types of loot.
Noah's gaze turned to the other three to appreciate their own wonders.
Universal Decretum Crystal:: Pristine in nature and unobtainable through normal means, these crystals contain minute wisps of Pure Quintessential Kainos Natural Decretum Essence. A single one is capable of granting .1% into any Decretum of a Dimension…
Universal Nature Crystals:: Pristine in nature and unobtainable through normal means, these crystals contain Pure Quintessential Kainos Nature Essence. A single one is capable of granting .1% into any Natural Law and .05% into any Fundamental Natural Law…
ZENITH Quintessential Bloodline Enhancers:: The stage of ZENITH is unfathomable as it guarantees a Lineage that is carried through across space and time. Reaching the most potent ZENITH Lineage across the Ages is an arduous task by itself, and exceeding it is even more so. A ZENITH Quintessential Bloodline Enhancers prides itself on devouring everything about the Bloodline and Lineage of your slain enemies and utilizing Absolute Loot Authority to produce Enhancers you can devour that will spurn the elevation of your Lineage even further. The number required is unknown as the stage above is even more abstruse, it is recommended to simply devour as many of these Enhancers as possible…
A wondrous collection of Loot to set Noah's path forward appeared.
And mind you, this was him not even utilizing one of the 12 chances of the Quintessential Treasure Cache, nor turning an enemy as powerful as a Suzerain into a Randomized Loot Crate!
All of this would come later as with the introduction of loot exceeding even a Grotto Panacea, it didn't need to be said that RUINATION could not multiply them in any way.
But for Noah, it was more than enough as his clone receded calmly after decimating a Dream Master that Primordial Suzerains couldn't defeat, his body continuing to undergo Fundamental changes as the allure of cerulean blue Mana was currently bathing everything around his Main Body!
Within a region of the Niflheim Dimension that Noah was just now stepping into.
Mountainous black monoliths rose to the cloudy and dark skies as the black earth below felt glacial and cold to gaze upon, these monoliths acting as towers that held powerful auras of Lineages of the Niflheim Dimension.
The particular region that was vaster than many Grotto Sanctums fell under the domain of the Glacial Dragon Lich Emperor- a Nature Integration Realm existence whose name was feared and widespread in the Niflheim Dimension!
In one particular obsidian Monolith, two Suzerains were gazing at the center of this domain where they could see the figure of the Glacial Dragon Lich Emperor enshrined in its stellar dark robe actually accompanying two other existences at the same stages of power as it!
Their bodies release unauthorized waves of purple light as they were the Magenta Abyss Sea Dragon and the Violaceous Reality Wolf from the Avalon Dimension who had been sent here by Lilith!
Two Suzerains were at the top of a certain monolith as they talked amongst each other.
"We'll apparently be moving soon on a final war of Conquest. Failure is not an option this time around."
One was a robed woman who wasn't particularly beautiful, where half of her face was a pristinely white skeleton while the other half was mainly dried Musculature.
This woman gazed at the middle-aged man beside her whose entire body shone with vibrant obsidian bones- this existence being a type of Abyss Lich Emperor that had reached a high stage!
"Will you be okay? Ever since you came back from wiping out that Primordial Legion, you've been out of it…"
The half-skeletal female Suzerain spoke with concern and care as the obsidian Lich merely shook its Skull with a firm will.
"I'll be okay. Aid me in getting the Undead Legions ready while I finish recuperating."
His tone was firm as the half-skeletal female Suzerain nodded while flashing away from this location, leaving only this Lich staring out into the stretches of monoliths and the three Nature Integration Realm existences that had disappeared at the very center of it all.
His obsidian Skull was vibrant as its eye sockets suddenly came to life with wondrously beautiful cerulean blue flames- flames that shone with life and deviousness as when one's Will delved within these flames, they would see a shocking scene!
Past the burning cerulean flames, within the very Origin of this Obsidian Abyss Lich Emperor- a figure that looked just like its outward appearance could be seen shackled by tendrils of unknown essence.
This figure was the true soul of the Obsidian Abyss Lich Emperor as it was constantly roaring out in maddened anger.
"You really think you can devour my will and soul like this?! You think those around me will not find out?! Eckert…no- Usurper…you will pay for this!"
WAA!
A bellow of rage and unwillingness boomed from the very Origin of a Suzerain as an even more dominant voice returned.
"Hush. I just need to be idle for the next day to assimilate a thing like you….and then after that, the rest of the Undead Suzerains will follow!"
The voice was filled with age and ancientness, and yet it contained a hint of youth as well!
It was the voice of the Great Usurper who was proceeding on his own journey.
—
Tendrils of Mana surged vibrantly on the surroundings.
The allure of gold around Noah had nearly faded as a pervasive cerulean blue sea of color surrounded him entirely.
His stellar skin glistened with a blue metallic sheen as even his Dimensional Layers were somewhat affected, radiant blue seas covering them as they gave off an idyllic feel!
The transposition of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique that had been changing Noah's body this whole time into the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique was too profound, Noah's very skin showing these changes as dandy gold particles were emanating from him while Mana filled him in abundance.
His pristine Tri-Pupils all shone with a dazzling blue light while his stellar hair…each stand seemed like an incandescent blue stellar river of Reality.
At this juncture, his body began to hum and resonate with the droves of surrounding Seas of Mana as from the tip of his stellar toes, a radiant blue cylindrical runic line branded itself on his skin as it traveled upwards, crossing his body from the bottom to top as it turned when it reached Noah's shoulder and made its way back down again until it reached his feet…and connected at the point of the toe where it began!
HOOONG!
This was just the first as soon after, cerulean cylindrical runic lines like these erupted out in abundance from the soles of his feet and made a pathway all around his body, eventually coming back to the starting point and connecting as thereafter…raging waves of Mana began to circulate within these runic lines and caused a resonance of essence on Noah's body!
The Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels are being formed.
A prompt bloomed before him soon after as line after line materialized, their size grand in the beginning as the more line that formed- the more Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels that formed, the more minuscule they became as in a short period of time…Noah's stellar visage was covered by vibrant blue lines.
Lines that were like pathways that carried torrential rivers of Mana through his body- constantly cycling and pulsing with power!
They covered the Aspect of his Body entirely as in the Aspect of his Soul, waves of plasmoid cerulean Seas covered everything.
In the aspect of his Origin, the massive mountainous Reality Passages that connected his Dimensional Layers became bathed with a profound blue light- their entire exterior gaining a stellar blue sheen as they gushed out endless droves of Mana that bathed the floors and skies of the Dream, Prana, and Avalon Dimension blue!
Everything was tinged with Mana as the pervasive color of sandy gold was all but replaced.
A sufficient number of the Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels has been formed..
The Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique has created a suitable framework as it recalibrates previously conducted Cycles.
…!
The Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique has created a suitable framework as it recalibrates previously conducted Cycles.
As if the surrounding Seas of raging blue went enough, an even heavier and more oppressive eruption of Mana bloomed with Noah at the center as ridiculous prompts cascaded down!
Your Understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics has increased by 1%
Your Understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics has increased by 1%...
HUUUM!
Torrential waves of Mana surged out in a magisterial fashion as a potent restructuring came to a finish within Noah, the product revealing itself as his whole body was filled with countless thin blue lines of raging essence that were termed Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels!
Circulation Vessels that were becoming smaller, but throughout concentration of Mana surging within them and nourishing Noah's aspects of Existence was becoming ever greater.
Just like the arteries and veins carrying his stellar viscous blood within him, these Vessels felt like they would course and supply his body and other aspects of Existence constantly with a Refinement in Mana.
And just like how his Vessels could circulate throughout his body with the help of an organ…
BZZZT!
His body began to tremble as the circular lines of Vessels that connected to each other in a loop shook.
Even though this loop seemed pristine and complete, the countless converting blue lines instantaneously snapped all at once near the area of Noah's chest, causing an influx of Mana that could shred the body of a normal Suzerain as after this action….the broken ends of the Mana Circulation Vessels weaved across Noah's bones and Musculature to arrive at a single organ and connect to it like it was what should have always happened!
WAA!
His Heart.
Like the most powerful electric shock, Noah felt the many lines converging together and nearly putting the illusion of them forming into a single great vessel that connected below his heart, and another one right above his heart as they formed a perfect closed-loop system.
THUMP!
Then his heart felt the vibrant and massive waves of Mana surging into it as it shone with a stellar blue luster- its beat came powerfully, nearly bursting the Heart right then and there but the foundation of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor was too strong!
His Heart remained firm while accepting the coursing Mana from one end and out of another like a Conduit, beginning to experience unimaginable Trillions of Units of waves of Mana every second!
THUMP!
His heart beat again as even the blood surging from it was affected, everything becoming illuminated with an even greater hue as brilliant prompts with cerulean borders came down.
The Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels have begun utilizing your Heart as a Conduit to transform the rest of your Aspects of Existence as over time, even without the influence and understanding of Manadynamics- the Mana Heart can be formed.
The Closed Loop System of the Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels will now be utilized during the activation of any abilities, allowing whatever required resource of activation to flow into this system from your Heart as all of the effects of abilities will be transformed from their sources- whether it be Decreta or Natural Laws, and into Absolute Pure Mana Output.
…!
Noah's Will surged with profound luminescence as he gazed upon what he wanted.
As he gazed upon what was crucial to stand against unreasonable enemies!
The transformation of any of his abilities into a type of ability that released its effects in terms of pure Mana.
When he cast any of his Annihilation Techniques as they took in the essence of Natural Laws and Decreta, all of this would be transformed during the output as the formed skill would contain only pure Mana!
Under the effects of Absolute Pure Mana Output, the features of the unique types of essence that make up a cast skill are retained while the overall power is elevated depending on the type of skill cast.
Your body is gaining rapid and increased exposure at the depths of your Aspects of Existence to Mana as your Understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics has increased by 1%
...Your Understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics has increased by 1%
Beautifully cerulean-bordered prompts cascaded down as Noah's pure blue eyes released arcs of light while gazing at them, seeing a spam of the same prompts about an increased understanding of the Fundamental Natural Law of Manadynamics until his total understanding reached 20%.
HUUM!
He felt even more closely connected to the surging Seas of mana around him as he nearly had the illusion of his body being made of pure mana, an illusion that was only broken when he felt more prompts cascade over him!
The Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique has recalibrated previous Cycles of the Infinite Dream Physique and devoured all other Refinement Physiques within your body. All future physiques will naturally be devoured and assimilated for the purpose of strengthening it. Currently recalibrated Cycles- 96
Each Cycle of the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique grants 2,500 Base True Damage and Defense Values, +100 Million Units to the Maximum Essence Reserves the Essence of All Established Dimensions, the capability to withstand 12 Quintessential Dimensional Infinite Reality Passages, and the capability of evolution as more cycles pass is retained.
…!
The cycles of the Mythical Natural Born Infinite Dream Physique were recalibrated into the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique as they were 96 in number, and each one had fantastical boosts!
With each cycle granting 2,500 Base Damage Values, Noah had just instantly gained 240,000 extra base Damage Values to add to an already obscene tally.
In terms of his Maximum Reserves of Decreta Essence- the 20 Billion number he currently had for his established Dimensions was getting blown up exponentially.
Then there was the count of Infinite Reality Passages.
The number had now risen to 12 per cycle as with all other Physiques being devoured and assimilated, it meant Noah could forge up to a maximum of 1,152 Infinite Reality Passages!
1,152!
This number was extremely significant as when one looked at the daily boosts each Infinite Reality Passage granted to the Decreta of the Dimensional Layers he had forged, and the additional percentage to a Law or Decretum of his choosing, and the Resource Regeneration….it was enough to cause Noah's origin to surge out commandingly to build the maximum number of Infinite Reality Passages as soon as possible!
Noah's body was radiant as countless cerulean lines pulsed with grandeur and color, his visage already forging tens of Mountainous Infinite Reality Passages while his will as always paid attention to the residual information flowing in about all of these changes.
The Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique held too many wonders as surprises would continue to bloom as Noah proceeded across its cycles.
To top everything off currently, one more Prompt came down as it acted like a topping on an already extravagant feast!
As Mana circulates across your body through the Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels, your body will naturally produce Mana Panaceas daily- a Quintessential Loot that even Nature Integration existences can utilize to fully replenish their Mana reserves and attain 200% Increased Maximum Resource Reserves and Regeneration for a day.
A vibrant addition that was not expected but always welcome!
His body was the ultimate Panacea for others, and this would be expressed uniquely as like a treasure domain or existence, Noah would actually generate Mana Panaceas around his body naturally!
I'm truly speechless through more that I continue to watch you.
A distinct voice that had been quiet recently perked up as Lavalliere's will could be heard.
She gazed upon Noah's form that had the wild storms of essence dying down somewhat, seeing the man whose entire body was covered by a stellar light as his very features changed within a matter of hours.
He now had vibrant rivers of cerulean blue strands of hair while his eyes shone brightly, his current status continuing to be elevated to the point that anyone's expectations of him from just days ago would be entirely overturned!
Noah had been greatly absorbed either himself and everything happening around him as he had pushed Lavalliere's mysteries aside to allow her to speak whenever she wished, but he would soon be close to actually being able to help her as he allowed the transformation brought about with the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique to finish while focusing on her just a little.
"How close are we to breaking the shackles that bind you? What will you need?"
Since his power elevated, so did his perception as he continued to see the shocking chains of a myriad of essences sprouting from the form of Lavalliere.
Her form that seemed to be an amalgamation of a Relic and Absolute Dream Authority, where among the chains of destiny, Karma, Fortune, and Fate that were blooming out, all of them seemed to be congregated towards one massive chain that metaphorically rose to the highest point above Lavalliere!
This chain…
What I am bound by the most at the end of it all is Providence. The Fundamental Natural Law of Providence that makes the workings of destiny and the other three concepts seem like the moving of one's own fingers. It is Providence and the Decretum of Dreams that made it possible for me to recover somewhat when devouring Relics filled with fortune…it will also be these authorities that ultimately release my soul from this Connate Relic.
The Fundamental Natural Law of Providence!
It was another Fundamental Natural Law on top of Manadynamics, Entropy, and Relativity that Noah was coming across- uniquely being exposed to the concepts of more Fundamental Natural Laws that normal ones as time passed!
His now cerulean Tri-Pupils shone with a powerful light as he replied while thinking of how to quickly grasp these laws and more.
"If it is Providence, then I will grasp it. Whatever else is required, I will obtain it. You've been with me long enough to see that I will attain that I set my mind to, Lavalliere."
Words filled with Tyranny echoed out as Lavalliere was silent briefly before she spoke with some hesitation.
Eowyn.
WAA!
I was known as Dimensional Ruler Eowyn before I was sealed in this Relic.
Lavalliere introduced herself as Noah could see the image of a chained girl at the depths of the Relic bound to him, her head raised with determination and hesitation as she continued slowly.
Because of my position and the height of the Dream Dimension back then, I was privy to many details and secrets- and it is precisely because of this that when I continue to watch you do what you do and exceed all boundaries, but when I still know what I know- I truly cannot fathom how you will come out of all of this.
Her hesitation slowly slipped as her words became firmer and firmer, her will looked onto Noah as she spoke seriously!
The 9 Anchors and the Desolate Mausoleum are not just something that exist- but it is something set in place a long time ago. It doesn't merely just hold the interests of beings like the Empyral Deceiver, but the interest of those truly powerful who had enough power to make Dimensions act as Anchors to suppress the Desolate Mausoleum.
…!
The path you are on will directly invalidate their work and undo what was done a long time ago, and your challenge will truly come when they are alerted to this. The Dimensional Rulers will eventually pass the word that they cannot contain the Dimensional Inimicus as at that juncture…I truly do not know how you will come out of this unscathed.
"..."
The path that Noah was on.
It was the most illustrious path as it was also the one filled with most dangers!
He could be like the rest of distinguished existences who had prominently risen within an Age and attain the Seat of the True Emperor, gain the qualifications to leave the 9 Anchors and Desolate Mausoleum as he touched upon the secrets of what happened here and then moved on with his life.
But no.
His path of the 9 Dimensional Realities would devour the very Dimension set in place as at the end of it all, he wanted to even take the Desolate Mausoleum- the Infinite Realities…to himself!
It was something that was bound to come with the heaviest of challenges.
The Empyral Deceiver is a great and terrible challenge as he holds the most freedom and authority to interfere now, yes. But…there are those older than him. There are those who have been moving even before the cycling authority of the True Emperor was initiated for many Ages. There are those who seek to keep the 9 Anchors and Desolate Mausoleums as they are, and I truly do not know how you will survive them when they find out. This was always the reason for my hesitation when you began on this path. Even as I see you overcoming one thing after another, I always thought of the insurmountable wall at the end of it that I do not know whether you can scale!
Her words were actually filled with caution and care when she spoke as Noah took them in silently!
He gazed at himself and at everything he had achieved as one had to ask, was it enough?
With all the advancements he had made and those that were still to come- would it truly be enough at the end?
Even with such a thought filled with unknowns, Noah still forged forward as he spoke with power and confidence.
"Where and when can I expect these enemies?"
Dimensional Rulers might have already passed word after the appearance of the Dimensional Inimicus. The juncture when you completely swallow up a Dimension and fully remove an Anchor from the Desolate Mausoleum will be the time when a move would be made…and even though it is nearly an impossibility for any beings to enter the 9 Anchors and The Desolate Mausoleum, it can still happen through the 9th Anchor.
The 9th Dimension.
There were the Dimensions of Dream, Mirror, Niflheim, Prana, Fantasia, Elysium, Avalon, and Apollyon.
The Ninth Dimension…
The Quantum Dimension. A Dimension that very few have access to as the leading figures of the 9 Anchors reside in here. It does not just act as a Dimension…but also a possible pathway as it holds unique qualities that link it the parallel planes you've just begun to gaze into.
The Quantum Dimension!
Depending on the flow of events, this could be the domain that the most terrifying enemies Noah had ever faced appear from.
I do not know what the future will hold, but this has always been the reason for my hesitation. The Desolate Mausoleum, while locked away and abandoned…was locked away for a reason. You are unearthing the interests of existences who have been moving since before the Desolate Mausoleum was even granted that name as whatever happens at the end of this app isn't even something I can imagine.
Lavalliere finished in a somewhat somber tone as she sighed.
"..."
In the face of all this, Noah let out light smile as he brought his stellar white hand forward, gazing at himself and just affirming where he was right now!
"Don't worry too much about the future. We can only prepare for it as best as possible, and my preparations…"
Simply unfathomable!
That was what his preparations and pace of progression were!so he clenched his fist as towards the shackled girl within the connate Relic, he spoke simply.
"Just wait in there a little bit longer. Absolute Dream Authority or Providence…I will have it all within my grasp soon enough."
WAA!
Noah's state of mind was affirmed even in the midst of many unknowns and potential enemies that were even older than the naming of the Desolate Mausoleum itself!
His heart remained steady.
The Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels pulsed and caused his body to radiate waves of dominant authority as around him, vibrant Mana Panaceas began to form around him as the sea of blue essence and multicolored rivers of essence around him were mystical to see.
In the face of all this, he wanted to test this new alteration of power- and he wouldn't have to wait long as always- his Clones being there for him as currently, it was the prominent Avalon Dimensional Chassis that would show the way!
—
In the Avalon Dimension.
A Suzerain Avallonis Charybdis flew across the purple tinged skies of this Dimension as it passed beautifully floating islands with purple waterfalls of essence- droves of radiant Avallonis Beasts following like a tide behind it as on its back, the visage of the Imperius Avallonis could be seen!
They had traversed too many light years in a short period of time as many domains were crossed, and they finally arrived within the domain of the Heliotrope Lion Emperor that was a long stretch of clusters of idyllic floating islands the size of Grotto Sanctums!
Serene purple waterfalls could be seen at the edges of these floating islands as the Essence formed into cloudy domains of water below, the vibrant aura of life and valor present as Noah stared at it all coldly.
There were countless beings in these domains as the vast majority did not know about the plans their Ruler made with Lilith, but some of those directly under him knew of this relationship!
And such beings were exactly what Noah was looking for as his will spread out to cover any nearby islands.
The most massive one before them was similar to the Dragon Knight's Sanctum in stature and majesty as when Noah's will swept over while utilizing the authority of the Sword of Avalon.
And beautifully, multiple red names rose up along countless white names.
Enemies of Avalon!
Lilith's retreat was too abrupt as the forces that she and the Traitorous Dimensional Rulers left behind were still significant!
This was a boon for Noah as the moment he affirmed this, he raised the dazzling Sword of Avalon.
HOONG!
The Avallonis Beasts behind him clamored and roared out as their wills held a distinct connection with the authority of this Sword, waiting for an order from the Imperius Avallonis to attack his enemies!
But the order never came.
Noah raised the Sword of Avalon as after confirming the enemies, he called out lightly.
"Fireball"
SHIIING!
A skill was cast as it bloomed in an instant.
But within this instant, the Avalon Dimensional Chassis had been briefly laminated with the vibrant light of the Quintessential Kainos Mana Circulation Vessels over his body, his Heart reflecting the changes his main body had just undergone as he wanted to observe the changes!
He wanted to see Absolute Pure Mana Output at work as with sentiment, he utilized the first ever skill he had gained to observe the changes due to the Quintessential Natural Born Infinite Mana Physique, his Will seeing the Essence of the Decretum of Avalon surging within Noah's body along with the Essence of Reality to bring the skill to fruition- but the moment these vibrant waves of essence left his body to materialize the result of Fireball, they were instantly altered.
Altered entirely as the Mana Circulation Vessels sucked this essence in an instant and released an output of serene cerulean Mana!
HUUM!
A droning sound echoed in the skies as from Fireball, the Saintess of Fiery Damnation rose.
But it didn't have its crimson gold colors as everything about it was pure blue.
A cerulean Empress robe draped over her shoulder as strands of hair that were akin to dancing blue flames came down to these shoulders, her skin shining crystalline blue as her exceedingly beautiful expression stood out with her eyes that shone like an endless sea!
When she formed, she blinked her long eyelashes with amazement as her face was soon tainted with excitement, turning around to gaze upon Noah as her crystalline blue hand actually rose to give a thumbs up towards him!
Then with joy in her eyes, she turned back towards the idyllic island far ahead of them as she saw the designated targets, her hands rising towards them as she formed finger guns.
She then blew a kiss as blazing cerulean balls of flames that burned hotter than the cores of Grotto Sanctums began to shoot out from her fingers!
BRRRRRR!
The purple hazy skies of the Avalon dimension were tinged with a cerulean color as a dazzling array of blue suns of flames surged forth.
BRRRR!
Like a barrage of high-speed bullets, they folded the space they passed through as the Saintess of Fiery Damnation could be seen laughing with even greater excitement- smoke coming out of her hands as she stopped not too long after she began!
Her eyes twinkled with a light of interest as she then watched the targets of her attacks.
They were few in number as the vast majority of them were not traitors.
But they were existences at the level of Suzerains!
They had a fantastical power, and yet the balls of flames that burned hotter than even the core of a Grotto Sanctum appeared before their eyes silently and en masse.
The innate dimensional barriers of these beings were merely a few trillion, and their True Vitality values could range around 5-10 trillion.
So when the attacks of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation arrived, everything about them was instantly shredded as the thrown-out attacks were too precise!
There wasn't a point of conflict and nor was there even any resistance when the terrifying balls of flames bloomed before their faces- they were only entirely evaporated as a cross the Domain that used to be under the Heliotrope Lion Emperor, five areas shone with incandescent blue light as it meant a targeted Enemy of Avalon was facing judgment.
As each flashing light meant the death of a Grotto Haven existence under the hands of Noah.
The surge of loot came ever so speedily.
+50 Golden Dimensional Reality Panaceas have been attained.
+50 Universal Decretum Crystals have been attained.
+50 Universal Nature Crystals have been attained.
+50 ZENITH Quintessential Bloodline Enhancers have been attained.
As the prompts rolled in, the Saintess of Fiery Damnation lost her gaze of excitement as she found no more targets and actually turned back to Noah while pointing towards the vast domain before him that was the size of multiple Grotto Sanctums.
She seemed to be pointing towards the many masses of beings on it as after eradicating those that Noah had deemed the targets, she was questioning- What about the rest of them?
Her cerulean eyes blinked innocently as if she was asking about the most normal thing.
Noah only smiled while shaking his head as there were many reasons for him to do what he was doing, and as the sword of Avalon did not show any more enemies in this domain, he would not kill anymore!
But…there were multiple other domains for him to visit. There were many more relatively weak Grotto Haven existences for him to farm. These were the beings that would build his base and foundation of the resources required to form his next dimensional layer.
"Onward!"
So he bellowed out as after killing the Nightwalker just moments ago, the allure of taking down relatively weak Grotto Haven existences was not that high. The only thing he looked forward to were the prompts of the fantastical loot that came with them!
The Avallonis Beast he sat on began to move, a sea of others following behind him closely as the visage of the Saintess of Fiery Damnation gazed at the things around her with expectations while waiting to return, her figure fading away soon after.
—
While Noah began his cleansing of the enemies of Avalon, events continued to propagate all around him.
Of particular interest this time around were the events in the Dream Dimensions!
The figure of Bjorn dove even deeper into the domains of this halcyon Dimension as he brought along a terrifying Legion of Abominations- and nothing could stand in his way!
Like a sharp spear the torque across everything it came across- all those at the Ultima Strata and below were wiped out as those in the Grotto Haven could only last moments longer.
Such a disruption would not be left alone as soon after, the terrifying aura of a Nature Integration existence descended.
It was the image of an old man whose body seemed to be made of incorporeal sand as phased in and out of existence- his shriveled hand holding a white staff made of one of the oldest trees!
This ancient-looking man boasted immense power in the golden skies as he gazed at the stretch of the Empires and Domains of the Dream Dimension laid to waste before him.
The gray-scaled Abominations were raging through it with an aura of destruction as nothing could stop them, and there was a single humanoid existence who stood in the midst of everything and seemed to be in total control!
The distinguished existence released here by the Tribunal itself!
The old man's eyes twinkled with a knowing light as he did not waste a single word and made a move right away.
HUUM!
"Collapse."
He spoke a single word.
But this word was filled with Absolute Dream Authority as it caused the area around Bjorn to begin to compress and collapse within itself!
The capability to turn dreams into reality!
One only has to have the dream and then visualize the effect in the outside world- they didn't necessarily need an attack or a specific skill as they could relay their intentions and make what they wanted to come true!
Existences at the level of power as this old man had reached a state where they could say a simple word to achieve their means.
But this time around…
HOOONG!
Multicolored light erupted around Bjorn's figure as the essence of the Natural Law of Electromagnetism blazed with fervor- this law nearly completely understood by him as he first tried to resist the pressure of a Nature Integration expert alone!
His figure looked untouchable and valiant, but he shook his head soon after as a lustrous gray light shone while multiple Abominations appeared around him.
The terrifying effect of Absolute Dream Authority lessened greatly after this point until Bjorn's own body could withstand what tried to suppress him.
He had not yet achieved the stage of Nature Integration.
He may be close to it- but it was not yet achieved! And yet this being was actually withstanding the might of a Nature Integration expert while utilizing the terrifying abominations he controlled!
Bjorn's right hand flickered with light as he gave the command, and the Legion of Abominations surged forward and tried to entrap one of the few powerful Dimensional Rulers remaining in the Dream Dimension.
The gazes of these Beasts were filled with apathy as the very structure of the Dimension destabilized when they passed!
ROAAAR!
A terrifying battle with reality-shattering results began here as with the passage of time, even more battles would bloom in the vast Dimensions and Realities!
As battles that would define the Age of Quintessence began in the Dream Dimension, Noah visited a few domains in the Avalon Dimension that belonged to the Traitorous Dimensional Rulers.
Any Grotto Haven existence who was deemed to be an Enemy of Avalon perished under his hands as he experimented on all the unique changes his skills could undergo with Absolute Pure Mana Output.
At this moment, he was in the last domain as he observed the destruction left behind by the Assassin Emperor of Severance.
The figure of this skill that stemmed from Sever was enshrouded in a smoky blue cloud that moved extremely fast, his hands grasping pulsing cerulean Sickles that smoothly cut across the arduously forged Havens of Suzerains with ease!
There were only 7 more Suzerains deemed as enemies in this domain that fell under the Magenta Abyss Sea Dragon, and Noah watched all 7 perish under the chains of Sever without being able to put up much of a fight.
His True Damage Values exceeded the approximation of 40 Trillion currently as weakened Grotto Haven existences would not be able to withstand his barrage of attacks.
With these 7 included, Noah had taken down a total of 48 in all the Domains he passed that were deemed as Enemies of Avalon and knew of the links between Lilith and their Dimensional Rulers. This meant 480 Golden Dimensional Reality Panaceas and much more!
It was enough to achieve many things.
So after he bulldozed through them, he chose to quickly make his way back towards Insula Avallonis, the tide of Avallonis Beasts moving with him like an incandescent cloud in the royal skies.
This was because he could feel the time of the completion of the Decretum of Avalon getting ever closer!
And once it did, many prospects would open up!
SHIING!
A spatial light flashed in the skies that covered Noah and the Avallonis Beasts, carrying them back towards Insula Avallonis as something even more critical was about to bloom here.
—
Within the depths of Insula Avallonis.
The beings at the peak of power of this Dimension were at the very center gazing upon a shackled and bound Heliotrope Lion Emperor whose face and gaze were downcast- yet still holding the reality of a Dimensional Ruler!
Dimensional Ruler Arthus and the others surrounded this powerful existence they knew as a brother and a friend, the Wizard of Avalon, Merlin- standing in front of the Heliotrope Lion Emperor as he sighed once more while drinking from the chalice.
I've confirmed multiple times. He wasn't placed under any mental enticement or spell as what he has said is true. He followed the Dimensional Deceiver of his own will.
His Royal purple robe shone with a dazzling light as a staff pulsing with Absolute Avalon Authority lay beside him freely.
The gaze of this existence that had lived for Billions of years seemed genuinely tired at this moment while gazing at the Heliotrope Lion Emperor, at his friend he knew as Emerillon!
"Why has the mood fallen to such a state since I left?"
HUUM!
Spatial waves flashed out as while wielding the Sword of Avalon, Noah appeared near the Lake of Insula Avallonis as tides of Beasts settled behind him.
His gaze was locked on the Heliotrope Lion Emperor as he spoke, the Sword of Avalon swung over his shoulders as he walked freely in a camp filled with powerful beings who could eradicate his clone if they made a move!
The gazes and Wills of these powerful beings also locked onto him as the ancient-looking Merlin was actually the one to reply while sipping more golden liquid from his chalice.
You're a confident one, aren't you?
WAA!
Words tinged with power and tiredness echoed out as towards this being, Noah simply nodded while walking forward!
"It is because I have the capabilities to back it up."
With grandeur that seemed to match that of the Dimensional Rulers before him, Noah walked amongst them calmly while going towards none other than Guinevere!
This was because out of all beings here, the Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast that was connected to the Sword of Avalon was the one he had any support from.
The Sword of Avalon is not your capability. It is something from Avalon itself. Beside Guinevere, Morgana spoke with a hint of defiance as Noah actually turned towards her with a smile, ignoring her comment and reading the mood of the surroundings before he spoke.
"I know that the Heliotrope Lion Emperor is someone you all share great history with, but as an Enemy of Avalon…he has to die. What he conspired with Lilith-"
We know what he conspired.
For the first time in what seemed forever, Noah was actually interrupted as wondrously, it was from the one being he didn't expect any opposition from.
It was from Guinevere.
Her eyes were serene and without a hint of emotion as she came to stand directly in front of Noah, her fair lips opening once more.
We have listened to his reasons and why he pledged his allegiance to Lilith, and it is true he is the Enemy of the Dimension. I will make it so that you can grant him his death…but only if you can promise me one thing.
WAA!
Her cold eyes were full of seriousness as Absolute Avalon Authority surged around her!
Noah's eyes turned sharp as the reading of destiny or even the gazing of a myriad of paths through I Am the Main Character would not aid him here.
What promise did this existence that held great power in the Avalon Dimension want?
I need your promise that in the future, you shall not ally yourself with the Dimensional Deceiver. That if you kill the one who follows her, she has to receive the same designation and treatment as an enemy, otherwise all of this would be for naught!
HUUM!
The words resonated with power as the very lilac grasslands below them trembled.
Lilith…as an ally or enemy?
Noah's eyes shone with sharpness at this as he asked with calmness.
"Why would I make the Dimensional Deceiver into an ally?"
Someone that he was wary and careful of at this juncture.
To make a promise to remain her enemy in order to kill a Nature Integration expert? This wasn't a loss!
Because of the same reason why three Avalonian Dimensional Rulers pledged allegiance to her. Her aim is to stop the coming Cataclysm of the Desolate Mausoleum and 9 Dimensions, where she wishes to attain the Seat of the True Emperor and cut off any sources of influence over the 9 Dimensions. What I do not wish to see is an Avalonian Ruler perish because he is an ally of Lilith, and then down the road…we end up joining hands due to goals being aligned.
…!
The Heliotrope Lion Emperor and the other two Traitorous Dimensional Rulers were extremely old existences. They wouldn't make their decisions lightly as to follow Lilith, they truly believed in her ability and prospects of truly attaining the Seat of the True Emperor in this Age!
"This was what you were worried about?" Noah's calm face lit up with a devilish smile of authority at this as as while feeling the very breath of this existence in front of him, he spoke out affirmatively.
"The Dimensional Deceiver is bound to be an enemy as our goals are in no way aligned."
WAA!
"Anyone gazing upon and trying to reach the Seat of the True Emperor can only be my enemy that I will have to step on at the end of it all, this…I can promise you."
…!
Anyone aiming for the Seat of the True Emperor…would have to be stepped on as they would be his enemy!
These words resounded in the minds of Dimensional Rulers as their wills were fully focused on him.
Far away from the Lake at the center of Insula Avallonis, Lancelot watched this scene as he couldn't help but feel disconcerted.
The "Primordial Genius" he had brought from the Kun Peng's Cataclysm Nest…why did he seem so far away now? Why did he give off the same aura of authority that only those with the most power carried themselves with?
It was a unique scene to see as he and many others continued to observe as the Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast and the Imperius Avallonis stared each other down.
Her radiant purple hair with streaks of white shone with a dazzling light as she nodded.
Very well.
Her pure white dress and wings of the pure essence of Avalon vibrated as essence erupted from her, forming into multiple simple thrones floating above the lake.
She lightly came to sit on one as she motioned for the other Dimensional Rulers to do the same.
As this involves the Lineage of all Avalonians and the 9 Dimension, we must convene and understand each other past mere claims and authority.
With her at the lead, Dimensional Ruler Arthus, the Wizard of Avalon Merlin, Morgana…and all the remaining Dimensional Rulers took on humanoid forms and floated towards the simple Thrones with power!
Merlin.
Guinevere beckoned to the Wizard of Avalon as this ancient being sat on the simple throne while gripping his staff, bringing it down to come in contact with the lake water below them as a brilliant light of Illumination bloomed soon after.
It showed a stellar field of light that held 9 vibrantly colored obelisks within, obelisks shining purple, gold, green, crimson, silver, black…a myriad of 9 colors as Noah's eyes could see a close resemblance of these obelisks to the image of the 9 Anchors he had now seen twice!
The 9 Dimensions…
Guinevere's cold eyes shone as she began.
Are planes that existed alongside what is now known as the Desolate Mausoleum. Many years ago, this was changed by the hands of those who were most powerful at that time as the Desolate Mausoleum became what it is known now and the 9 Dimensions became Anchors to it. Those who caused this change…we are their descendants.
WAA!
A storm of Providence rose and whipped the surroundings as within it, Seas of Destiny, Fortune, Karma, and Fate could be seen!
The Dimensional Rulers across the 9 Dimensions are all descendants of the Lineages that fundamentally changed things all those years ago, with our purpose this whole time being to keep the status quo.
The coldness and apathy in her exceedingly beautiful face had a trace of emotion in it as Noah could actually see minute specs of anger!
Such eyes shone with such intensity that they naturally released an enticing light that made the opposite sex feel a need to possess them.
But Noah remained unfettered as he sat on equal levels between Nature Integration Realm experts of an entire Dimension.
Over the years, those capable have left as most existences who were First Generation descendants like Lilith's father have either left or perished, leaving everything in our hands.
…!
Among her many titles, the Dimensional Deceiver was also known as the Daughter of Hatred!
A Daughter.
Her father was someone considered a First Generation descendant of immeasurably powerful existences of countless ages past, and yet OPPENHEIMER had overcome this being and many others in the last Age to split apart the Main Reality!
This was a Sacred Crusade we carried on our shoulders and would have eventually handed down to others, but OPPENHEIMER's actions changed all this as the very fabric of Reality is accelerating towards an apocalypse.
The utmost apathy in her eyes gradually faded with more emotions as Guinevere didn't give a damn about saying OPPENHEIMER's name like so many others.
Her words caused Dimensional Ruler Arthus and the others to vibrate with authority as Morgana even scoffed beside Noah.
Thus…I myself am not too inclined on this crusade any longer as what I want to do the most is preserve the home I have known for billions of years.
Her serene eyes turned to gaze over the Insula Avallonis and the vast stretches of the skies she could see past it, speaking shocking words for someone in her position as some Dimensional Rulers even looked alarmed!
Morgana had a difficult expression as she seemed torn between duty and what she wanted herself, but she remained silent as Guinevere continued.
I care not for what lies outside the Desolate Mausoleum. I care not for the lands our Ancestors left as I simply want the safety of what I call home. And that…is where the Sword of Avalon comes in. That is where you come in, Noah Osmont.
WAA!
Noah's True Name was uttered as his eyes flashed with a chilling light, locking onto Guinevere entirely as if nobody else existed!
In her glacially cold eyes, a hint of a smile appeared as she continued.
The Sword of Avalon is a powerful tool, and I am connected to it.
…!
The moment you accepted it and it harmonized with you, the least I could do is grasp who you really are.
Someone without much history, where even after learning of your name, the only information I could pull from our networks is your identity popping up as an enemy of Primordials on their Blacklist as you also go by Alexander King as one of them. What is most baffling though, is how little is known about you and how the timing of everything truly doesn't match.
The timing of it all!
Guinevere was trying to grasp who Noah really was as the future would hold too many interests!
If the information from the Primordials is to be believed, you were in the Firmaments of Ascendancy weeks ago, and then promptly stepped onto the stage of Reality, crossed the Stratas the weeks that followed as now…you somehow stand at the level of a Suzerain.
Silence descended in the surroundings.
Arthus and Morgana along with all other Dimensional Rulers couldn't help but lock onto Noah and gaze at him with strange gazes.
Gazes as if they were looking at a monster!
Gazes as if they were staring at a monster!
This was because they knew how long it took for them to ascend the Firmaments of Ascendancy and reach the stage they were at now.
Yet this being had done so in weeks as he now wielded the Sword of Avalon.
Just what was he?
If this is to work, we need to understand each other and who each party really is. If I am to put the safety of the Avalon Dimension on the line and truly give you all my support, I need to know who I am supporting.
Guinevere finished with such words as she then silently waited for Noah's reply.
The man in question though was looking at the Sword of Avalon in his hands as this terrific tool he wielded and should be the master of actually tattled his identity to the Connate Avalonian Sacred Beast!
It reminded him that even with so many safeguards, even with concepts of destiny and even the Heart of Destiny masking things about him- terrifying beings still existed who had their ways.
In this case, the Sword of Avalon was intricately connected in a way that even Noah didn't fully know with Guinevere, and she now sought to know more about him than just his True Name.
The powerful existences were practical and put forth great forethought.
Who was this being that would lead Avalon and what qualifications did he have apart from pulling Sword from Stone?
He only gained half the support of Guinevere with this action as the other Dimensional Rulers like Morgana would not simply move under his command.
So who was he to them?!
He smiled as words flowed out of his mouth calmly.
"If I can choose the most direct way for you all to understand, it would be the term that Lilith herself used when I came across one of her Wills in the Desolate Mausoleum. The term Irregular."
…!
Noah's eyes turned sharp as he spoke out the identity that he saw Lilith chose not to reveal.
This single word instantly caused the situated Dimensional Ruler to blaze with power and authority as their gazes towards him became even more pronounced, but Noah was unphased as he continued.
"But…I know not what this designation of Irregular means, so I do not even consider it when calculating my strength. Though such an identity should have much more of a meaning to you than whatever words I can boast about myself."
Irregular.
A term known by those truly powerful as they had experienced beings such as this cause changes in Ages or so long as they moved!
The most recent example was none other than OPPENHEIMER as when he was done, the very course of the Desolate Mausoleum and 9 Dimensions was changed.
Not every True Emperor of the past Ages was an Irregular, but most Irregulars had attained the Seat of the True Emperor of an Age.
This was common knowledge among those truly powerful!
...
The Dimensional Rulers were silent.
Even Guinevere tapped her throne lightly as another hand held her fair chin, her gaze distant as if she was thinking of other things entirely.
The light around her visage was mystical to see as on another throne, the figure of Arthus spoke with reality.
An Irregular that has managed to pull the Sword of Avalon. This seems sufficient enough to me.
Support from the father of Lancelot as this existence believed in his son's intuition!
But at the same time…
What is sufficient for you may not be sufficient for others. Hatred himself was an Irregular, and yet he perished under the hands of another Irregular. Just having such a designation does not mean one is Destined for greatness or to attain the Seat of the True Emperor.
With his ancient visage, Merlin spoke out calmly as at the same time, other Dimensional Rulers chimed in.
He already has the Sword of Avalon. Aren't our choices forces unless this authority is stripped from him first?
The visage of a middle-aged man with a vibrant crew cut and a sharp nose- it was Galahad who spoke out at this juncture!
Morgana and a few others uniquely remained quiet at this juncture as Noah listened to all of them closely with a smile.
His eyes then came back to land on Guinevere who still seemed lost in thought after his words as he spoke to her directly.
"Let me ask you, what Age are we currently in?"
HUUUM!
His question was simple, and yet his mere words caused the Essence of All resources in the surroundings to begin surging.
The Essence of concepts began to whip around madly as they nearly caused the particles of the Essence of the Decretum of Avalon and the Essence of Natural Laws of Reality to join them!
An air of shocking reality and authority descended as the Dimensional Rulers felt this shocking change, their gazes turning somber to focus on the being who could cause this with a mere utterance of his words.
Just what was he about to reveal?
Guinevere's eyes were glazed with a powerful light as she looked like an ancient Empress who should be untouched by even the gazes of others as she humored Noah and replied languidly.
The Age of Quintessence.
The first Age of the Kainos Era.
The Age where the Emperors within would have to show how much more they excel over all others!
It begged the question of how others rose to rulership in the Age of Destiny, Age of Fortune, Age of Misery, or even the Age of Chaos and the many others that preceded these Ages.
But it was set in stone that the first Age of any Era was bound to be a profound one just like the last Age of an Era.
"Yes."
Noah nodded with serene eyes as above him and behind him, authority began to be unveiled.
"This is the Age of Quintessence, and in this age, I…."
HOOOONG!
A droning sound of majesty boomed out as the surging tendrils of essence became even more chaotic, a symphony of wonder and power beginning to resound as it caused the hearts of all beings to be moved!
Above Noah's head and slightly behind him, a shocking authority that was hidden this whole time began to materialize as the first thing that was seen was a vibrant multicolored backbone and skeleton of a throne- a throne whose outline was extremely clear to the eyes.
This throne alone held a terrifying authority of Quintessence, but what was even more shocking was the crown that began to be unveiled above it.
A crown that was seemingly kept afloat by a ring of multicolored light as the base of the crown itself shone with a ring of gorgeous sandy gold. Above the ring of gold was a pristine verdant green light as above this was another ring pulsing with purple light, a mixture of these three colors making up the rest of the crown as tendrils of these colors surrounded in and even formed the Ecritures that when revealed…caused the Dimensional Rulers situated on the thrones to stand up in shock!
Surging around the crown with immense power and authority were none other than the ecritures of…
QUINTESSENTIAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR
Brilliant in grandeur.
Pristine in authority!
"This is the Age of Quintessence, and in this age, I….am the Quintessential Dimensional Emperor. I am the Quintessential Kainos Emperor!"
WAA!
His Royal purple hair whipped around his head with valor and authority as he grasped the Sword Avalon tightly, his eyes locked onto Guinevere as his voice boomed out with authority.
This Age we are all in…it shall be nobody else's as it is my Age and mine alone to shine!
BOOM!
Shockingly, halfway through his words, his voice had changed to contain a tone of authority that only the Dimensional Rulers had been using.
This was because around this juncture, a certain Decretum had shot up to achieve a stupendous level of understanding.
It caused the Essence of Avalon in the surroundings to surge as with the Throne of the QUINTESSENTIAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR behind him, Noah spoke out with majesty.
So now…is my identity sufficient to lead the forces of Avalon?
Pure majesty and valor dripped around him as he seemed too luminous for others to even gaze at!
So now…is my identity sufficient to lead the forces of Avalon?
The words struck the chords of the hearts of all beings here as they couldn't help but stare in a dumbfounded manner above Noah!
How…
Morgana's eyes trembled as she unconsciously walked closer to Noah, scrutinizing the dazzling crown and throne above him as if it could somehow be faked.
Merlin stroked his beard with a grim expression as the gazes of all other Dimensional Rulers carried incredulity, the only one retaining her calmness being Guinevere as she still sat while only gazing at Noah.
Outside of the expectations of all others, she only gazed at his pristine authority as she picked up on something else within his words.
She sensed the pristine and completed authority of none other than the Decretum of Avalon as its essence seemed to be emerging and wrapping around Noah's body, cradling him carefully as if he was a newborn!
You've achieved completion in the Decretum of Avalon?
Her words held a hint of disbelief as she knew the Sword of Avalon closely.
One could say that apart from Noah, nobody else knew the Sword of Avalon more than her!
She knew that one of the biggest boons was one's understanding of Avalon being brought up to 75% as over the next few years as they harmonized with it, they would eventually attain complete understanding in this Decretum.
So she knew that just moments ago when this being pulled the Sword of Avalon, he was only at 75%. So how did he just achieve 100% Understanding?
Oh, this?
Noah pulled upon the foreign but pristine authority of Avalon into his voice as it reverberated with authority, his heart and will morphing as many prompts were blooming within the mind of his main body!
This was because during the saturation of the Third Dimensional Layer from 100 Trillion to 200 Trillion, he had achieved a complete understanding of the Decretum of Avalon!
I mentioned before I left that I was waiting for something before passing judgment on the Traitor. That was me naturally waiting to achieve a complete understanding of the Decretum of Avalon after gaining an initial understanding of it this past day.
...
….!
Utter silence descended after Noah's words.
They sounded utterly ridiculous as the Wizard of Avalon couldn't help but release a vibrant light of authority, Noah feeling this light surging towards him as when he saw it wasn't intended to harm, he left it alone as it coiled and mixed with the authority around him!
Thereafter…
The gaze of Merlin underwent a drastic change as he shook his head with even greater incredulity.
He isn't lying…how is he not lying…?
The words of the man before them were complete truths as the Dimensional Rulers didn't know how to take them!
How long had each of them taken to fully grasp the Decretum of Avalon?
The millions of years worth of hard work they had put in felt insignificant when they now heard that this being before them had only taken a day!
...
Silence descended upon the lake.
When the Dimensional Rulers put together the identity of an Irregular, the incredulous talent he showed, as well as an authority where in the Age of Quintessence, this existence was named the QUINTESSENTIAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR…they truly had no ways to refute!
So their eyes and wills faced their own internal battles as they thought about how to move from here.
Meanwhile, Noah's eyes remained on Guinevere to confirm his cementation of authority over the Sword of Avalon and her support.
This existence didn't make things easy even after seeing all this, her languid eyes seemingly taking everything in and nodding as she continued lightly.
You've answered a large part of my question about your identity…but, I still have not learned who you are. Your character. What motivates you to seek the Seat of the True Emperor? What motivates you to stop the coming Apocalypse when there are others trying to do the same? Because if you tell me it's out of the goodness of your own heart and your vast compassion for the masses or to save the lives of those you have never met, I'll be sorely disappointed.
WAA!
What…are you protecting, if you have anything at all to protect?
…!
The surrounding changed and became heavy once more.
Unlike the other Dimensional Rulers who were contemplating what to do as what Noah had revealed showed his shocking prospects and ability, it seemed that this was not what Guinevere was looking for!
She put aside Noah's identity as an Irregular and as the QUINTESSENTIAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR as what she truly wanted to understand was his heart.
For her to leave the protection of her home and to lead its forces to him, she wanted to understand why he did the things he was doing!
The why was always the most crucial thing in anyone's life- even those living for billions of years.
Noah silently looked at Guinevere's placid eyes before moving his gaze to the many Dimensional Rulers around them, his voice full of authority ringing out.
There are too many eyes for me to pour out my heart in the way you seek.
…!
A simple set of words.
Yet a moment later, Guinevere's body lit up with incandescent light as Absolute Avalon Authority surged- coagulation above her head into radiant particles that formed into another version of her, but made purely from Avalon Essence!
The eyes of the clone and her true body then gazed towards Noah as even in the midst of all this, she was still testing him.
Noah smiled at this test as such a thing…was feasible once had had a complete understanding of the Decretum of Avalon- though he wouldn't be able to do it to the extent Guinevere was capable of. And such a form had its own boons that Noah would fully view the descriptions of later!
SHIING!
His body lit up with grandeur.
Purple radiance overflowed as above him, Absolute Avalon Authority amalgamated to form into a devilishly handsome figure of a tyrannical emperor that with a tap from Guinevere, the both of them began to ascend upwards and leave behind Insula Avallonis and their True bodies that remained with dissatisfied Dimensional Rulers who also wanted to be a part of this last conversation!
The amalgamations of Absolute Avalon Authority ascended into the endless skies of the Avalon Dimension as no matter how high one went, it seemed they could never reach the top.
They rose until Insula Avallonis was a dot in the skies as here, Guinevere's Absolute Avalon Clone pulsed with the aura of a Fundamental Natural Law as Manadynamics erupted from her to wrap around the both of them.
Noah calmly watched this occur as his finger even twirled with the vibrant essence of the Fundamental Natural Law he was making steady progress in as he heard Guinevere's voice once more.
No other eyes shall reach here and I shall not reveal your personal information. So I ask again…what are you protecting? Why do you do the things that you do?
What did Noah have to protect?
The answer to this question would set Guinevere's heart at ease or cause her to never fully accept him as someone she could trust to protect her own home.
Gazing into the purple eyes of the Absolute Avalon Clone, Noah spoke with an enchanting smile.
You see, I am a selfish man.
WAA!
He began grandly in a tone of utmost honesty as Guinevere's eyes became even sharper.
If you ask me what it is I protect…it would have to be my own safety and happiness, and the safety and happiness of my family. For these things, I do whatever is deemed necessary as it can be considered extreme selfishness.
I've undergone multiple apocalypses, and what I learned at the end of each of them was that ultimately, the one with the most power would get to have the freedom of being happy and safe from destruction, so I naturally sought to be stronger in any domain I would be in as at the end…nothing would threaten my own safety and happiness.
And something I came to understand about myself was a childish mentality I didn't know I had until a year and a half ago…I came to understand that I loved the exploration of power and learning about all the fantastical things I can do. Edicts? Natural Laws? Decreta? These weren't even concepts that I imagined a year and a half ago as now, I wish to understand all of them and have them underneath my fingertips.
As he spoke, his eyes shone with thoughtfulness and understanding as Guinevere's eyes retained their coldness and simply listened from afar!
Me, me, me. My happiness, my love and interest for the unknown wonders, my seeking of safety for those I love and for those that depend on me…this is why I consider it selfish. And I know I am not the only one in this as you are in the same camp of selfishness. You do not care about the other 8 Dimensions as you have only worried about your own Avalon Dimension, staying beside the Sword of Avalon and guarding it all these years waiting for what…me?
WAA!
I did not suddenly wake up and become struck with an epiphany to lead the Avalon Dimension and save the countless Avalonians. I am not reaching for the Seat of the True Emperor to prevent the coming apocalypse out of the overabundance of love I have for beings across the 9 Dimension and the Desolate Mausoleum that I do not even know…No. I am doing all of this for myself and those that I protect.
I grasped the Sword of Avalon and pulled Sword from Stone not because I was worthy and was meant to lead everyone here, but simply because Avalon falls in line with me obtaining as much authority as possible over the 9 Dimensions and Desolate Mausoleum. I did it because it would aid me in protecting my own interests and the interests of those that I protect.
HUUUM!
As he spoke, the radiance of Absolute Avalon Authority continued to surge wildly as it formed into a torrential storm, the figure of Guinevere continuing to look at him with utmost coldness!
I seek to end the life of the Traitorous Dimensional Ruler below us not because he is an Enemy of Avalon and I have to pass judgment as the Imperius Avallonis…I seek to end his life purely because I will devour everything about him and it will help me get even stronger than I am now. It will grant me more strength as this will put me closer to my goals and once more…allow me to have the power to protect myself and those that depend on me.
Now…if the Avalon Dimension were to fall under my banner- if the vast stretches of existences here were to come under my protection…then I will treat them the same as I treat those who I protect right now. As it becomes my interest and my responsibility, my selfishness shall extend to it as I can guarantee whatever the results of this coming Cataclysm…the Avalon Dimension and its people would come out of it unscathed!
…!
A buzzing symphony resounded as at a certain point, Noah's Absolute Avalon Clone arrived right before Guinevere's as he bridged the distance effortlessly, looking into her cold eyes as after all this time, she finally replied to his words.
Finally.
HUUM!
The Essence of Avalon swept around and rose ever higher like a torrential sea.
Like a blossoming flower, the most dazzling and heart-shaking smile bloomed from Guinevere's already impeccable visage as she spoke!
Some genuine fucking honesty.
…!
Absolute Avalon Authority exploded out at this moment as multiple prompts appeared before Noah's eyes.
You have gained Increased Authority over the Sword of Avalon, with Hidden Features becoming unlocked.
…!
You have gained the acknowledgment of the Latent Will of the Avalon Dimension.
The Authority and Title of Avalon's Dimensional Ruler has been opened and is awaiting for your arrival at the Nature Integration Realm to be granted.
Pristine authority descended and waited for him as before his eyes, he felt like he was looking at an entirely different person as he could see an enchanting sly and cold smile from Guinevere who stared at him freely.
"I've always found true honesty to be something that breaks apart barriers the fastest and easiest."
Amidst dense surging authority, she actually spoke without any of it at this moment.
"I will support you on your quest for the Seat of the True Emperor. In exchange…simply extend your selfishness to cover the Avalon Dimension and protect it like you protect your dear family members."
Her eyes, her smile, her brows…everything about her was smiling in a dazzling yet cold fashion as on top of all other torrential waves of essence, Providence also surged the moment this agreement was put out!
