Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-2746

2746 They don't know they're fighting the Protagonist! III

The layers of the newly expanded boundaries were full of wonder by themselves, but their Seventeenth Boundary Layers were astonishing to look at.

The Boundary of Harems now allowed Noah to share a semblance of his power with a specific few beings, while the Seventeenth Boundary Layers of the Hero and Villain seemed to be two parts of a whole that would pull in a great deal of resources for him.

Whenever he moved, he was always a Hero to some and a Villain to others.

He would be getting both of the rewards for these two Boundary Layers as he navigated the Vacuous and Vitalis Hyperversal Domains!

Then, there was MacGuffin.

It allowed him to choose an item, concept, or entity and designate it as a plot device that may become the center point of conflict or what moves the current reality around him forward.

For this…he has to ponder a bit more on as he could only gain access to doing this again after he attained Extremity in this concept.

There couldn't be any mistakes!

Lastly, there was the Seventeenth Boundary Layer of the Protagonist.

When gazing at it, Noah knew that this was the exact tool among the many that the Protagonist brought forth that he had to utilize.

And so without a delay, as a storm of multicolored authority swirled around him due to other concepts being taken towards Extremity, he activated the authority of the Protagonist.

HUUM!

And his surroundings buzzed as the raging essence in the surroundings calmed every so slightly, a golden light blooming from Noah's eyes and flowing upwards as an utterly massive illusory golden book came into existence.

His figure seemed like a grain of sand before this forming illusory golden book as it looked advanced with sleek margins, and yet it also gave a sense of ancientness as it didn't have a title.

Noah felt his Extremity Soul Values being used up as this book was flung open, his Vassals below him seeing this scene as Aurelia's jaw was fully flung open in shock, and Barbatos who was beside her trying to communicate and tell her she would eventually get used to all this also found herself staring upwards in a stupor!

The Golden book fluttered as bordered pages with the titles of [A Call to Adventure], [Aid and Cheats], [From the Known to the Unknown], and [Challenges and Ordeals] were all passed until a particularly bright page labeled [Point of Death and Rebirth] appeared.

When this page was flung open, the pages of this Golden book pulsed as a reality began to be etched on it.

Not any random reality- but the reality willed to play by the True Emperor of Quintessence that related to the Entities who wished to bring to a stop his glorious path!

The entities who wished to keep him forever in this cycle of a Point of Death and Rebirth.

He would be able to see them no matter what height of power they achieved so long as they were embroiled in his journey!

This statement from the description of the 17th Boundary Layer of the Protagonist remained true as at this moment, the golden page was divided into four separate panels that were currently blank.

As his Extremity Soul Values were drained more and more, the top most left panel began to be filled with colors as in an instant, it showed a scene of crimson gold Minor Haven that was torn from above, with the figures of Noah and Ayame seen at the peak of a Golden mountain as beside them, Ayame's grandfather was passing a Curagulus Mask towards Ayame.

This action was halted as the gaze of all three beings were turned up at this moment, the colored image showing them gazing at the culprits that had torn the Haven above them- three Entities that shone like blinding Obsidian suns!

Each one was shrouded by billowing obsidian smoke, and yet they thundered down like hellspawn bringing down apocalypse as these…were the Entities seeking to end Noah's path.

Noah's eyes flashed on their figures on this top most left panel of the page as with a glimmer, a few bursts of information began to appear above their heads.

[The Prime Devourer]:: The Primogenitor of the Yog-Nyarvax Infernal Extremity Lineage, an Entity at the Fifth Gradation of Extremity. Due to the non-existent traces of the Hyperversal Extremity Authority of the Protagonist, no other information can be obtained.

…!

This was the information attained by the Entity at the very center among the three!

Noah's eyes pulsed with a grand light of tyranny as he realized the identity of his enemy.

[A Tier 5 Vacuous Extremity?!]

His eyes blazed with power and possibilities as after he discerned the identity of this being, he looked at the details of the Entities to his left and right.

[The Annals Inquisitor]:: An Extremity Clone of an Entity at the Fifth Gradation of Extremity who is proficient in accessing both the Records of Vitalis and Vacuous Annals of Extremity. Her achievements make her extremely hard to kill by those at the same stage. Due to the non-existent traces of the Hyperversal Extremity Authority of the Protagonist, no other information can be obtained.

[Primogenitor of Talismans]:: A Hidden Identity of the Cimmerian Architect. She seems to be here just out of curiosity as those beside her don't know her true identity. Due to the non-existent traces of the Hyperversal Extremity Authority of the Protagonist, no other information can be obtained.

…!

The other two were also shrouded in a dark light as their figures couldn't be easily discerned, but Noah found his eyes drawn over to the entity on the right of the Prime Devourer.

An entity whose Identity was hidden even from the other two Tier 5 Vacuous Extremities around her! From this being, Noah felt the greatest level of danger, and she wasn't even here for the sake of killing him!

She was only here to satiate her curiosity.

Her curiosity of…him?

Noah's eyes pulsed as he arrived at this conclusion, his Extremity Soul Values leaking even more as they were used as the paint to color the next panel on the Golden page.

The next panel showed a terrifying scene of Ayame's grandfather torn and shredded into trillions of minuscule pieces, with Ayame herself entirely turned to nothing but ashes as the billowing figure of the Prime Devourer arrived in front of Noah!
