Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

24, 48, 96.

These were the number of beings that came down in sequence as each group…was led by a terrifying figure.

Normally, the larger the group that one led, the more powerful they were.

But Katya knew that this wasn't the case the moment that she saw Theseus leading his force of 24.

Each of them was adorned with sharp silver gray NULLITY Bone Swords as among those who had exceeded the Barren Lands…they focused on constantly exceeding a single concept.

They weren't bound by Natural Laws as they forged their own boundaries!

Theseus and those he led in particular…focused on expanding the Boundary of the Sword to unbelievable levels while following the lead of certain Ancestors.

To the extent that the level of power, augmentations, and Authority that this concept released exceeded anything that Entropy, Manadynamics…or what any other Natural Law could offer.

A single swing of their swords could alter the very fabric of Reality in fantastical ways!

Paired up with the immense boosts of NULLITY…the power of existences following this Modus Operandi was deadly.

Others focused on expanding a myriad of Modus Operandi, while some focused on a single one and brought it towards Extremity.

Theseus was among the latter as his power was not to be trifled with!

The Legion of 48 that came after him was led by an existence that Katya recognized as the True Emperor of Fate- Hideyoshi!

Tendrils of gold wrapped around his body that was extremely robust- his musculature vibrant as his very skin and the skin of all those behind him shone with a golden hue.

They seemed like impenetrable statues as these existences focused on a boundary of the Extremity of Physique!

The number of Aeonic Damage Values required to even bypass the Innate Barriers of these beings was unfathomable.

And lastly, there was the one leading the Legion of 96 Ancestral Descendants that was none other than Yvonne.

Yvonne the Conqueror!

She was an Ancestral Descendant, and yet she had joined the list of respected existences with the accolade of Conqueror.

Her hair shone with streaks of black and gray as she was adorned with an Obsidian skull that covered her head, her pupils also in the form of a skull as the small Legion she led behind her also carried similar deathly energy!

Existences that focused on the Modus Operandi of Death and followed it towards an Extremity.

Yvonne, Hideyoshi, and Theseus.

Three Commanders that even Katya had to be careful and wary of!

They came with their Generals on this venture as outside the Barren Lands, they led Legions of Billions of Soldiers. Billions who were left behind to maintain defensive lines.

Legions that would be appropriated under different Commanders while their Commanders ensured that the Will of the Ancestors was followed in the Barren Lands.

They now arrived and gazed towards her radiant verdant gold Imperial Karmic Scarab form as Theseus was the first to speak out with a calm smile.

"Show me what you've seen of the enemy so far."

His dark hair weaved with radiance as his hand was kept on the hilt of his sword, the circular structure floating around him taking in the waves of the Essence of Natural Laws that came down to bind him and everyone else that had descended just like Katya and the others.

His circular tool floated away from him and towards Katya's as without saying anything, the Obsidian structures came in contact and flashed with light as all the information that Katya had was shared!

And this same scene repeated as the tools of Yvonne and Hideyoshi came forward, these Commanders seeing exactly what was in store within these Barren Lands.

"Quintessential Dimensional Emperor…"

Yvonne said the three words with a hint of power and brutality as the bone skull over her head shone, its empty sockets lighting up into black flames that illuminated the surroundings.

"I will wade through Niflheim, Prana, and Mirror to seek him and any of his forces. Those that have fallen under his hands in death will tell me exactly where he is…"

…!

As she spoke, the Legion behind her burned with a dark spatial light- Yvonne the Conqueror moving with purpose the moment that she arrived as she moved her terrifying forces to fortify three Dimensions!

Then came Hideyoshi.

His body was like a titanic golden statue of glory as a devilishly holy smile erupted on his face while he clasped his hands before his chest.

"I shall oversee Elysium, Fantasia, and reinforce this Dimension as well…"

Every time his mouth opened, golden seas of power flowed out as his Physique put even the bodies of Royal Humans to shame!

"...Commander Theseus, you can handle the vast Desolate Mausoleum?"

Even though his voice was robust and filled with regality, he still added the accolade of Commander when addressing Theseus as the power of this being was truly terrifying!

Theseus who at this juncture nodded while his head turned up to stare at the vastness around them, his magnetic voice echoing out.

"Remember that we cannot fail in this. The Ancestors are bound down in their positions to not lose any Sanctuaries, and their power will face great limitations if the limitations of Natural Laws reach out to them again. Our success here determines whether we keep the progress we've made in the last Billions of years or…"

HOONG!

Space trembled as his pupils unconsciously released waves of swords, massive rifts opening up above as if Reality itself was cut apart as this being didn't finish his words.

Katya became even more somber as she nodded at this, her will covering the Pylon of Ascension with even greater concentration as all the beings who had just come through this channel began to disappear into their designated positions.

Were anything to happen, they would quickly contact each other as at this moment, the concept of failure was not even a possibility they could afford!

For them, too many things lay on their shoulders as a single upcoming True Emperor of this Age…what could he do against all of them when he couldn't even stand against Katya alone?
