Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2239 The 6th Boundary Layer! I

A variety of colors.

Adorned in Emperor's robes and shining with a potent allure of a Minor Plane.

Seas of essence formed below their very feet as they appeared and floated in this space that was gradually brightening up more and more!

These...were the Quintessential Dimensional Chassis of the True Emperor of Quintessence that appeared one after another.

The gazes of Desiderius and Theseus shone as they ascertained all parts of the puzzle.

The feeling of danger...it all came together radiantly when they looked at the 9 identical clones before their eyes!

The one surrounded by sandy gold waves of light that had appeared before them first gazed with eyes of immense coldness at this moment as his smile faded.

He gazed towards Desiderius and Theseus with such a high gaze as if the True Emperor of Quintessence exceeded them!

<You rushed over here to attack, why the hesitation to do so now?>

His were like a raw knife digging into their Aeonic Souls as the minds of Boundary Expansion existences were dynamic.

Theseus was a one of a kind genius in the Boundary of the Sword as even other Ancestral Descendant Commanders of his level did not know he far exceeded them, while Desiderius was a calculative being that had stayed behind for billions of years in the Source Plane of the Lineages of the Barren Lands that called themselves Ancestors in order to deal a killing blow!

Each of them had their duties, but beings at their Age... were truly too cognizant of the risk of Death, much less the genuine possibility of it.

The older and wiser that Boundary Expansion experts became, the more aware they were of death after seeing so much of it in the Vaults of Extremity as they...did everything in their power to avoid it.

Yes, each of them had their own purpose to stand before this True Emperor right now. But...neither of them wanted to throw their lives away as they tried to break down the level of risk and strength this being could display!

Just because he could pose a danger to grant them True Death, it only laid out this possibility. They had to understand just to what extent this danger was!

So before they jumped into battle, they cautiously discerned the 9 identical clones and any more surprises that may be coming.

"You are part of our Lineage.'

WAA!

Theseus was akin to a drawn sword that was waiting to spring as he built up waves of sword essence, his pupils also being sharp swords as he spoke freely!

"Your Lands are our lands, the Throne you seat on is part of the inheritance that our Ancestors left behind. You may not fully agree with their Will, but must you take things in this direction?"

As he spoke, lights began to flash as the Legion of True Emperor Hideyoshi arrived, the True Emperor of Fate having a stern gaze as he observed this stand off while his Legion formed into another formation around him.

The True Emperor of Quintessence didn't even spare a glance at them as his 9 clones floated closer and closer to each other until they stood in a wondrous line of power.

The smile on his faces had faded as callousness could now be seen, his voice ringing out to reply to Theseus as his words didn't even address his question- and he said another thing entirely!

<Theseus. For unquestionably following the Will of others to reap the lives of countless creatures in multiple Planes of Existence with the excuse of the lives of the many outweighing the importance of the few...you shall face death.>

...!

The voice was filled with grandeur and authority as only Desiderius and Theseus were the ones capable of feeling the aura of this being gradually changing.

It caused their own gazes to change as they noticed...it was very similar to them who were infinitely close to attaining the Boundary distinction of crossing the 6th Boundary Layer threshold!

This being was actually going towards achieving such a level as he seemingly gave out verdicts at this moment!

<Desiderius. For plotting and killing these past eons while also planning to destroy 9 Minor Planes to achieve your own objectives...you shall face death.>

HOONG!

A rousing symphony began to play.

The words of the True Emperor of Quintessence rang out as they seemed like commandments to be followed.

Theseus and Desiderius were the only ones to closely feel the level of danger due to their power, with the newly arriving True Emperor of Fate...not liking that he wasn't even addressed as he harrumphed.

He was a True Emperor.

He had reigned over an Age!

He had played and manipulated fate countless times.

So he inserted himself into this standoff as with the visage of a NOBLESSE to his left and Theseus to his right, he didn't believe there was any great level of danger as his Legion surrounding him in a formation began to give off waves of light that would surge forward to attack!

"A mere being who slipped through the cracks wishing to deny Fate...you shall see that Fate is undeniable!"

SHIING!

Hideyoshi could not see any abysmal fates as he tested with his Boundary of Fate.

The thought that it was simply too low ranking to sense the dangers coming was not focused on too much as it wasn't Desiderius or Theseus- but this being who instead made the first move!

Because the sword of the foolish and ignorant always struck first!

The eyes of the clones of the True Emperor of Quintessence did not even gaze at Hideyoshi and his Legion, nor the attack that they were preparing.

He kept his eyes on Theseus and Desiderius who did nothing and had colder and colder gazes as they outweighed the risks and benefits of the fight to come as he spoke out serenely.

<You want them to test me out?>

WAA!

Noah could see their caution as these beings had yet to make a move.

They would get a better gauge of his power if he was forced to show exactly what he could do and the nature of the concept he was bringing towards EXTREMITY!

But...they would find out today that they had to face him themselves to see just to what extent he had grown!

<They cannot test me out. Because they...are already dead.>

...!
