Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
-
chapter-2403
Cruel and immaculately more calculative.
This was what Hyperion felt from the move by the Infinite Plane as knowing of the qualities of the Reified Enders of Extremity and that they wouldn't truly die, it abandoned all defensive measures for them and simply focused on offense- using Relativity to scramble the battlefield as in the next moment, the Aspects of Existence of a Haven Rank Shadowling that was a leader of a Squadron was entirely shredded to nothingness!
No, not nothingness.
Due to the connection with the Infinite Plane and in extension to its Master, Hyperion was able to see everything about this existence known as Mateo absorbed toward Noah's direction and greatly amplified with a golden light of Loot, prompts forming before the eyes of the True Emperor of Quintessence that Hyperion barely managed to glean from afar!
[Your Soul is optimizing the Loot you receive to best fit your current self, with the selection of prior loot also being a possibility.][You may choose the devoured Aspects of Existence to be broken down and amplified to two of the following Loot: 10x Fragments of the Shadow Extremity Circulation Modus Operandi, 15x Complete Crimson III Aeonic Pearls of Extremity, 1x Fragment of the Quintessential Breath of Extremity Modus Operandi, 1x Aeonic Sanguine Pearl of Extremity.]
…!
Hyperion only saw a glimpse of the wonders that went into making this being situated on a sandy gold throne!
He was even more connected to him than before as the ever present will of the Infinite Plane pulled his gaze away from Noah and towards the scrambled battlefield where yet another move was made.
Seeing the shocking evisceration of the Aspects of Existence of their peer, the figures of Rosalind and Starr that were nearby bellowed out in rage as they felt the minuscule defenses on the Reified Enders of Manadynamics and surged towards them to release deadly attacks that would do the same- their bodies seemingly breathing in the shadows around them as multiple Essences weaved across their bodies to release a terrifying might.
A sea of shadows torrentially surged to encompass everything. And yet…the Reified Enders of Manadynamics coldly pulled upon an endless supply of Mana as far away from them, the Reified Ender of Relativity bellowed out once more!
The battlefield was scrambled yet again as Starr and Rosalind…found themselves at the positions where the Empyral Ten-Winged Providential Tiger and the Reified Ender of Relativity were- their attacks surging towards each other at the same time.It was beside the dazzling gold throne of the True Emperor of Quintessence, just a distance away.
Their backs were turned to him as his mind seemed to move in conjunction with the Infinite Plane, and he truly didn't lift a finger but….
[Aeonic Dominator's Haki].
BOOM!
A billowing Will surged from his eyes and smashed onto their figures as the Endless Shadows accompanying them cracked and fissured- their minds scrambled and fighting an invading Will while they pulled on their Apex Aeonic Soul Totems!
And at such a junction…
Hyperion was the last remaining Ender nearby as he felt his body move naturally.
Tendrils of Entropy surged over his trunk that glimmered like a massive mobile reality- this appendage of his moving like an Apocalyptic pillar to smash down on the figures of these two Haven Rank Shadowlings!
'How beautiful…' This was what Hyperion felt as he observed all of this dreadful and calculative scene playing out!
Yet before it could arrive at its completion…
BZZZT!
An indomitable shadow invaded the battlefield.
A shadow that couldn't be denied!
It was the might of an Apex Aeonic Lifeform!
But it didn't attack.
It clearly showed no intention of doing so as it only pulled upon the shadows of Rosalind and Starr, extricating them entirely from their current positions as they instantly disappeared.
Far in the skies where he should've been veiled, the visage of Grand Primeval Silas could be seen with a stern expression as the extricated shadows flowed towards him seamlessly- including Rosalind, Starr, and all the remaining Shadowlings.
The instant he saw the drastic change in the battlefield below and the coming deaths of two other Squadron Shadowling Commanders, he intervened as he instantly snatched away the nearly eradicated Rosalind and Starr, along with all other Shadowlings back into his vast Shadow where they first stemmed from!
"..."
Thereafter, he remained utterly still as he stared towards the skies ahead.
And only deathly silence permeated as Grand Primeval Silas sighed inwardly while gazing towards the being that had forced him to make a move before any more of his Shadowlings were sacrificed.
He grandly remained on his Throne with a cold expression as the creatures he summoned moved to stand beside him coldly!
"How stupendous the might of Grand Primeval Silas is…to interfere within a battle of supposedly lower lifeforms so freely. Weren't you going to show me how I wasn't so special?"
His mocking voice echoed out as Roan also appeared beside Silas with a heavy expression, all the other Primeval Shadow Elders sent to maintain the Lernaean Domains at this juncture.
Silas' gaze was even heavier than Roan's.
This was because of the choice he had to make from here on out.
He could choose to hasten the progression of the Unyielding Shadow Legion he had requested to be on standby to continue his assault on this being, or he could do something else entirely as his heart and soul…went towards a different conclusion the more he stared at this existence and observed his capabilities!
The fact that he had the beginnings of a Dynamis of Extremity alone put him above all Haven Rank Shadowling within the Cult of Endless Shadows.
It was a rarity, nay, even an impossibility as he had only heard of a few rumors within some Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity birthing existences who could form the beginnings of a Dynamis of Extremity even before they forged any Meridians due to unimaginably powerful and ancient Circulation Modus Operandi unearthed during the early days of the Havens of Extremity.
And the battle prowess he showed to be capable of erasing one of the top ranked Shadowlings within his Cult like it was nothing and nearly doing the same to the other two…it meant that this being deserved a different form of treatment.
If he appeared before the doors of Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity- even they would seek to have him join them!
So when he took what was happening with the Lernaean Domains and this being's possible continued involvement into account in addition to his ridiculous capabilities…
Grand Primeval Silas sighed internally as even though the situation seemed unsalvageable, he went towards another route at this moment!
He spoke grandly as he floated towards the golden Emperor on his Throne.
"How about we do things differently, O Genius of the Ancestral Lernaeans?"
…!
Silas' face was exceedingly calm and unfettered while in the back, Roan gazed forward incredulously at this change!
Yet Silus continued while he weighed many things in his mind.
"In these Havens of Extremity, there are a great deal of exceptional and potent beings. But…each of them have a backing. No matter how unique or special they are, they join an Inheritance to obtain even greater security and power. It is how Apex Aeonic Lifeforms are easily born, and eventually how one attains Extremity. It is through the support of Inheritances that have history etched across eons."
WAA!
"We will forget the unfortunate events and words exchanged between us as I will take the first step towards a different path. A path where I offer you my hand. Join us…let the Cult of Endless Shadows be your supporter. I can guarantee you better terms than even the ones given to complete Lineages."
…!
The shadowy hand of the Grand Primeval Elder of the Cult of Endless Shadows was outstretched magnificently towards the True Emperor of Quintessence!
