Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2525 Rage Against the Dying Light! III

Everything was seemingly being swallowed up by an indomitable force as a terrifying aura unveiled itself, this authority being so potent that it even devoured time itself!

This could best be seen by what occurred next as even though this terrifying aura should have been arriving from a vast distance, the maddening aura from afar disappeared as if it was never there- and it instead blared up right beside the visage of Hyperversal Extremity Kabul who was getting ground down by the authority of the Adjudicator of Dissolution.

The maddening aura appeared here as if it had been at this location this whole time!

Tendrils of black and crimson darkness pulsed out powerfully as they acted like an endless shawl wrapping over this being.

A devouring darkness was constantly rising from the tip of his feet all the way to the top of his head as it seemed to be trying to swallow him alive, and one could only see his endlessly stellar pupils amidst this darkness!

His concept that he had taken to Extremity was Devouring as he had defined himself with it.

When a concept proceeded so extremely far in the bounds of Extremity, it would even be capable of doing what other concepts stood for- and sometimes even better!

He held the Hyperversal Extremity Authority of Devouring, and yet he could swallow up and alter the orientation of time itself. He could traverse across great distances faster and more proficiently than any spatial concept.

And at this moment…

BZZZT!

The darkness around him rose as his hand reached out towards the struggling figure of Kabul, and this time…he devoured the nearby Hyperversal Extremity Authority itself as Kabul's sorry figure gradually became able to breathe easier!

"..."

The environment reality still buzzed and vibrated at the heart auras in this region as seeing the appearance of a second Hyperversal Extremity Authority, the Adjudicator of Dissolution seemed unphased as she didn't question what he was doing here nor what his purpose could be.

She knew his purpose very well.

She just didn't think such purpose would pull in the visage of an existence who had forged an Absolute Seed of Extremity without even undergoing Apexification!

[Can you all no longer sit still?]

…!

Her gaze was far reaching.

She did not just see Kabul and the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring as she seemed to see other forces standing beside them as well!

And the Extremity covered with tendrils of Devouring stabilized Kabul as he spoke out with a voice that seemed to be eating away at one's Soul.

[Whatever could the Adjudicator of Dissolution be talking about? I'm here answering the call of my disciple who was having his very Hyperversal Authority ground down by the one who should be one of the Seven Protectors.]

WAA!

His words boomed out in this region as sheltered behind the grandeur of the Adjudicator of Dissolution, even Noah in the far distance had his eyes become sharp at the pressure this being emanated.

Kabul was a Hyperversal Extremity as Noah had felt firsthand how overwhelming his pressure was.

But this existence currently protecting Kabul…he made even this Hyperversal Extremity seem like a child!

It caused Noah to question just how wide the gaps of power were amongst Hyperversal Extremities.

As for the Adjudicator of Dissolution…she faced this pressure easily head on as she locked her gaze with the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring.

She locked onto his eyes which were one of the few things revealed by this being.

His eyes.

She had seen such eyes too many times in her life.

Eyes filled with apathy and disregard for her very existence as they triggered a past memory to appear and disappear within a span of an instant.

An instant of a memory to her, but it was akin to her reliving many years in that instant!

[Dmitri…what are you?]

"Nothing."

[Sergei…what are you?]

"Nothing."

A massive existence was floating in a darkened space as he gazed down at an obsidian stellar disk of earth that held a dozen souls.

Each time, he floated to a different one and asked questions as his voice leaked with powerful Hyperversal Extremity Authority!

All around this region, only an overwhelming darkness could be felt and seen as those here seemed like everything across existence.

The visage of the dark existence pulsing with Hyperversal Extremity Authority moved on to a different figure among the dozen.

[Svetlana…what determination you amount to?]

The question was posed to a young woman who seemed to have barely entered adulthood with a head overflowing with dark hair, her eyes filled with immense darkness and a lack of life as she replied without any emotions.

"Nothing."

…!

She answered just like all others, but…

[Look at me when you reply, girl.]

SPLUCH!

As his words ended, the left arm of the young woman became utterly shredded and destroyed- everything being turned to mush right up to the shoulder as black gold blood exploded out like a river!

Yet no emotion showed itself on the young woman as she turned her head up and gazed into eyes filled with utmost apathy and disregard for her and everything else in life.

Those eyes.

She gazed at them and replied emotionlessly once again.

"Nothing."

She was the last of the 12 as after she finished, the immensely powerful Hyperversal Extremity moved away and gazed at all of them.

[That is right. You are all nothing. You were born with nothing. And you determination die with nothing. Your only purpose is the mission. Continue this mission until the last moments of your life.]

WAA!

And a reply came out in unison soon after…

"Yes, Master!"

…!

Darkness and coldness were all they could see.

And in such an environment…

[Good.]

The voice of the Hyperversal Extremity thundered out as his authority leaked out and surged towards all 12 beings below- filling their bodies until they ballooned up to the extent that their souls were about to break!

[Not many of you determination survive. For those whose wills can overcome…I will ask you to rage.]

HUUM!

[Rage against the dying light. When your spirit feels like it's about to be extinguished…fight. Fight and fight some more!]

The obsidian tendrils of Hyperversal Extremity Authority around him raged as his covered figure seemed to pulse with immense madness and at the same time, clarity.

[Rage, children. Because if you do not…you may never have the chance to even gaze upon the dying light.]

…!
