Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

There were many crazy things about Noah, and he knew this fact very well about himself.

Infinite Mana, a trait that literally termed him the Protagonist, another Trait that made many unimaginable things possible, the capability to forge Edicts at a rate others can only imagine, the capability to read about other existence's point of views as if he was there listening to their deepest thoughts…there were too many things to count as he knew very well he was on the border of a ridiculous existence that could rival what Champions could achieve!

Even his destiny was far vaster than any others as he knew whatever waited for him in the future…it would involve multiple Realities.

It would involve whatever playing field the Higher Existences were moving across, it would involve glory and grandness that he couldn't even imagine at this point in time.

Where he was currently and the power he had achieved was astounding, but it could be considered akin to a drop of water in vast seas across the countless Realities!

He had immense potential to be someone that even exceeded Champions and stepped to the height that Primordials achieved, and these steps had begun within the last hour when he fully completed a Greater Nomological Edict and then a Minor one moments later- such achievements beginning to generate within his body the True Blood of Higher Existences.

When his blood entirely became of this nature, he would evolve into a whole different tier of Existence as the possibilities for his future were immeasurably boundless!

But…he always asked himself if at some point in the future, apart from all the crazy things he already had…if something too crazy would rise up that he would be capable of doing. If on the scale of overpowered amongst his peers or anybody really, something would come up that was just broken!

What he stared at right now-the capability of Author's Jurisdiction…he thought this might just be it.

<Author's Jurisdiction> :: The lives of all beings are the weaving of stories and the pulling of destiny. Interconnected in an intricate manner, the path that the stories and destinies of others take can merely be told or seen. The ability of Author's Jurisdiction allows the user to actively interfere with the stories and destinies of himself and others in an immediate and permanent fashion. The ability carries such drastic effects capable of altering Reality as to initiate, the essence of Fortune and Destiny are required and to activate it fully, the Essence of Reality is required. Depending on the Destiny of the existence involved, the price of Author's Jurisdiction can be as small as a drop of water, or Essence of Reality as vast as the seas. Those that have their destinies changed will sense no changes nor feel anything different, settling into their newly weaved stories as if it was always that way. When activated, the ability will allow the user to select a target as aspects of this being will arise, with the user needing to formulate a rough draft of the possible changes to the nature of their target, or their past history, or their currently ongoing Reality. The cost of the changes will then be calculated as if the user has enough Essence of Reality, their jurisdiction will be successfully be weaved into reality. If the Essence of Reality is not sufficient, the ability will be nullified with no changes being made. The initial activation requires the essence of fortune and destiny every time, with the Essence of Reality required if the changes of the rough draft are accepted…

"..."

It felt like a ridiculous extension of [Plot Control]- the ability that stemmed from Kismet itself as it required half the reserves of fortune and Destiny along with a 30 day cooldown period to change a "single small aspect" of Reality!

And an extension it was as this ability…it didn't have any cooldowns, nor did it rely entirely on Fortune and Destiny! But Noah wished it used all of this resource as instead, he needed the Essence of Reality to be capable of fully utilizing this ability at all.

This ability also caused Noah to become utterly grim and serious as he realized from its description that if Higher Existences had abilities like this and they were utilized on beings like him…he would never know.

Whatever destiny he had or whatever destiny was being weaved, a powerful existence could have changed in whatever manner they wished as he wouldn't even be capable of sensing anything out of place!

It was a terrifying thought, but it was one that caused Noah to want to delve even more deeply into broken abilities like this as it would give him a certain protection against threats he didn't even know were possible.

As for the method to use this Ability that required the Essence of Reality? Noah naturally had a solution to this as coincidentally or by the weaving of destiny, the Blue Slime had just been given the go ahead by him to devour the Primordial Beasts its clones fought with as Noah would forgo the potential loot from these beasts, but the results were simply fantastical.

The Essence of Reality that these beasts collected over the years from the devoured Universes and Cosmos were swallowed by the Blue Slime, its main body currently containing this terrifying Essence!

"Little guy…" Noah's thoughts reached through the connection of his Animus Summon as a flood of information filled the Blue Slime's mind.

In the Novus Universe, the main body of the Blue Slime was communicating with Noah as one of his clones floated before it serenely!

"Can you utilize it?" Noah spoke questioningly while the body of the Blue Slime bobbed up and down.

"It feels like an essence that leaves all others in the dust, but unlike the freely flowing essence of laws, daos, or even Master's Edicts, the Essence of Reality feels like a molten multicolored liquid that weighs more than a Cosmos…"

WAA!

The voice of the vibrant Blue Slime resonated out as Noah nodded calmly, his body turning into a streak of light as he delved into the body of the Blue Slime and merged with it!

'Hmm…' The feeling of becoming intertwined with the origin and soul of his Summon was bloomed strongly as the brilliant Origin of the Blue Slime was now akin to Noah's own, with him being capable of sharing his essence and power as in this merged form, he could release power multiple times above normal.

The cerulean body of the Blue Slime had now turned stellar as it became similar to Noah's Universal Form, the Slime enjoying the shocking droves of power coursing through it as Noah focused on the cluster of multicolored essence at the depths of its Origin and Soul!

"The Essence of Reality…" His consciousness wrapped over the terrific essence that Primordials played with, this Resource being the one thing Noah had no idea how to make it form and regenerate like Mana, Fortune, or Destiny as it stood on its own tier.

The Primordial Beasts only obtained it by Devouring Universes and Cosmos, and he didn't fully know what methods the Primordials used to obtain their reserves of this Essence as only now did he even gain access to it!

He confirmed the words of the Blue Slime as even when his consciousness wrapped around it, he couldn't move it in any way as it seemed like something he couldn't fully play with at this time.

But…

"Author's Jurisdiction."

RUMBLE!

He called out the words to a particular ability.

His vast reserves of golden destiny and fortune churned as one fourth of these unique resources disappeared instantly.

The unmovable essence within the Origin of the Blue Slime…it then began to vibrate and flow at this moment as a fantastical feedback entered Noah's mind!
