Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

"Show me your Forge. I won't believe it until I see it for myself. And if you show me yours, I'll show you mine."

The words rang out in the surroundings from the pink lips of a pristine Apex Aeonic Lifeform as others didn't even know how they should perceive them!

Emperor Maximilian shook his head dubiously as the other Apex Aeonic Lifeform to arrive came out of his stupor to also sigh at the unfolding scene.

Yet towards the request of Aurelia…

"No." Noah answered firmly and calmly as the shining expression on Aurelia's face dwindled before becoming even brighter.

"You…I just wanted to appreciate the Loot because I thought you were like me. You would actually deny?"

BZZZT!

Her body danced with wild power as a milky golden light of a Dynamis of Extremity even began to paint her skin, the Elder Ancestors in the surroundings feeling their Souls tremble as they sank even further into the golden sand!

Yet the True Emperor of Quintessence didn't falter due to the pressure as he nodded while replying calmly.

"Yes. Though I do hold an interest in the Forge of an Apex Aeonic Lifeform, so I can show you a reflection of mine after everything is quantified in a bit."

"A reflection? No, I want to see the real thing in your Aeonic Soul. How you constructed it in your soul, what changes you made to my forge, I want to se-mmm!"

Before the words of Aurelia could finish, she was cut off as the Apex Aeonic Soul Clone that came behind her placed his hand on her lips and pulled her figure backwards, his voice emanating out apologetically as it caused the Elder Ancestors who heard it to recognize him as they trembled with shock and incredulity!

"I apologize for her behavior. She has never acted like this before…"

…!

It was the voice of the True Emperor of Genesis.

The First Emperor of the Barren Lands.

His gaze was deep and filled with wisdom as at this moment, he locked his eyes with none other than the Last Emperor of the Barren Lands!

The ones who ruled the Barren Lands first and last!

Their gazes intersected at this moment as if felt like entirely different regions of the spacetime continuum coming together.

Yet even during such a grand meeting…

BZZT!

Aurelia's body buzzed with power as she seamlessly pushed Orion away from her, her gaze dissatisfied as she looked towards him.

She held a hint of respect towards this being, and this was why even though she was greatly more powerful, she still didn't show that she could easily rebuff his authority and overcome him as she allowed him to just do what he did!

But even so, she was still an Emperor of utmost prestige and wonder.

"Orion, don't force my hand…and you…" Her gaze returned back to Noah as she continued.

"...I'll let you have a peek at my Forge first, how about that? You can even take whatever you find fancy. I've begun to even generate treasures for Apex Aeonic Lifeforms in there. But right after, let me into your Soul."

…!

A set of sentences that were disastrous to all Elder Ancestors here rang out!

A view into the Forge of the True Emperor of Fortune!

Who had actually been granted a right to explore into it before? So far, only the most powerful Unequaled Reverend Emperors and Apex Aeonic Lifeforms among the Lernaeans had received treasures from her Forge, but they were not able to ever step foot in it.

They didn't even think it was a possibility

But hearing this…

An inexplicable sense of loss seemed to settle in their hearts as they remained kneeling.

Yet even before an answer could come from the True Emperor of Quintessence…

"Aurelia."

The voice of the True Emperor of Genesis emanated out as he gazed with seriousness towards Aurelia.

His single word was enough to convey his intentions. That now wasn't the time. That there was something much greater they had to ascertain!

"Tsk." And Aurelia begrudgingly accepted this as she didn't push any further, her laziness returning as she moved back while beckoning with her hands- tendrils of the Boundary Essence of Dreams from the golden floor surging towards her as she analyzed it freely.

At this juncture, Genesis and Quintessence came to gaze upon each other once more as the Emperor adorned in sandy gold was the first one to speak while looking towards Genesis with curiosity!

"I met a portion of the Will of your past self within the Barren Lands."

"Oh?" Orion's eyes lit up as he smiled wryly before continuing. "It must have been a Will filled with remorse and weakness."

"It was."

WAA!

Noah spoke such shocking words as if the being before him was a peer, and he didn't stop there.

"It was a Will that thought it had exhausted all other avenues and had to fall in line with others. It advised me to find a different path."

And at such words, Orion nodded with a smile as if a heavy light was lifted off his shoulders.

Off to the side, Aurelia was still analyzing the Consummate essence of the Boundary of Dreams as she rolled her eyes while the two of them talked, yet Orion paid her no heed as he replied while staring intently at Noah.

"I can see your Eyes. You found much more clarity than I ever could as you embarked on a path none of us had seen or thought of. I just wanted to see…the outcomes of your path. My greatest wrong and regret. I wanted to see the Barren Lands."

…!

The Barren Lands.

Among the Lernaeans here, who had been graced with seeing them again?

Had even the Lernaean Vassals Noah had attained gotten a view of it? The answer was no!

Now, its First True Emperor sought to view at magnificence as at this, Noah smiled devilishly and replied.

"Of course, this can be arranged."

…!
