Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

A scramble.

This was the most apt description after Noah's words that he remembered those who had surrounded him and anyone who defended them would join his list!

Those who had the intent to attack and even those who managed to throw out attacks that were swallowed up by Anti-Mana knew who they were as they didn't wish to face thus being- each of them rushing towards the most powerful clusters of Scions to seek safety in numbers and those with much greater status.

And in the midst of all this, Noah's Reified Sources of Extremity moved across the battlefield- with the glimmer of the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity being something that even these Scions who circulated multiple Boundary Essences couldn't handle.

After all, such a thing was commonly found on powerful Apex Aeonic Lifeforms! Unless they had a similar to it or uniqueness of a different form- denying its effects was an impossibility!

So when the Nullified Phoenix of Cataclysm released glacial typhoons of Nullity or the Mysterious Sanctuary Power Mechanism spat out a sea of cerulean singularities pulsing with a cherry light at their very center...

"Ah..."

"No!"

Their defenses could not last for longer than a Nanosecond as they perished!

It was to the extent that a sense of deep apprehension and even a sliver of fear began to appear within those scrambling away.

It was to the extent that one of the few remaining Scions from the Church of Perpetual Light bellowed out while his figure remained a streak that ran away in the distance.

"Stop this wanton killing! Nothing is gained from this!"

A call to stop this fight for retribution!

But when Phos garnered hundreds of Scions to surround Noah, had anyone screamed for it to stop?

Not a single being did!

So Noah himself...he didn't stop.

Until those that had surrounded him were returned their hostility in kind, he couldn't stop!

It was to the extent that those who earned his gaze shot backwards with utter grimness as they gritted their teeth and bellowed out.

"Fiend! Do you know how many enemies you are maki-!"

BOOM!

The core of the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity smashed down from Noah's Aeonic Cache Bringer as this voice was silenced an instant after.

But it didn't take long for others to bellow out with regret and unwillingness as Noah's 8 Reified Sources of Extremity moved across the massive obelisks to hunt down all those that had encircled him before.

"Fiend!"

The shouts rose like a cacophony.

"One that doesn't see reason!"

And the bellows only increased in volume.

"Fiend!"

The voices continued to rise and drone outwards as it got to the point that even truly powerful Reverends from the most powerful of Heritages frowned.

Off in the far distance, near the cluster of Scions who were about to come in contact with the Leviathans of Dissolution that were seemingly guarding the First Panacea to bloom.

The figure of Ayame frowned as her will felt the chaos and true deaths occurring behind her, her clear eyes going towards Noah as she knew a bit more things than others regarding the delicate situation of Inheritances, their purpose, and what each Scion here stood for!

Blood must be repaid with blood as she understood where he was coming from, but this scale of wiping out Scions of multiple Aeonic Heritages of Extremity?

It wouldn't end at just this as thinking about the distinctiveness of this being, her gaze focused on the one holding the stellar form not too far from her.

And she then sent a mental message that only he would be able to hear.

"You're in the right for seeking retribution, but the deaths of this many Scions are not something that will simply be swept under the rug. You may want to take a step back after already killing so many."

...!

Her words were those of caution as she was very familiar with how Heritages worked!

And for them to have entire groups of their Scions erased...they truly would not be able to sit still.

Yet towards her words, Ayame felt a reply filled with conviction and grander reverberate in her soul as Noah's figure of the Quintessential Emperor of Extremity only glanced at her once.

"I bear the weight of all my choices. Whether it is the death of one Scion or Hundreds that stood against me, I will never falter because of any consequences that would arise from it!"

WAA!

His heart was clear as his soul was resolute!

No matter what their background was.

No matter who stood behind them.

No matter the rules that others imposed!

The True Emperor of Quintessence would move according to his own will as he would not fear the Wills of others!

Ayame heard his reply clearly while her body began to blaze like a burning sun, a massive Leviathan of Dissolution appearing before her as they began to move- her horn radiating grandeur Noah's words resonated in her mind...

Across the stretches of spacetime.

Across the very layers of Havens!

Within the Haven of Genesis, Penumbra, Helios...the myriad of the Seven Aeonic Havens that had their Heritages send Scions to seek Extremity through Sanctification in the Haven of Dissolution.

Across these pristine lands that were all past the Initiation Step and the Culmination Step of the Extremity Sanctification, the Supreme Eon Creatures across multiple Heritages tracking the Scions they sent out found themselves rising up in perplexity and anger as the Soul Medallions of their geniuses were shattering one after another.

The Genesis Institute of Extremity, the Extremity of Light, the Church of Perpetual Light...

These and many more inheritances found great oddity in the fact that either a large percentage of their Scions were eradicated at once, and some inheritances even felt the destruction of the Souls of all of their Scions occur!

It was a maddening reality to come across as in the Church of Perpetual Light within the Haven of Helios.

In the vast stretches of a golden sky, a crystalline domain the size of hundreds of Major Planes of Existence floated grandly as it seemed all Source of light was converging around it- the grandeur of Extremity shining all of it as it was unknown how many Supreme Eon Creatures were here- much less how many of them had achieved Extremity!
