Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2526 Rage Against the Dying Light! IV

A distant memory.

It came and left just as quickly as not even an instant passed, the Adjudicator of Dissolution gazing at the eyes that pulled this memory forward as she spoke coldly.

[Kabul has violated the Investiture of Extremity by attacking an existence yet to even undergo Apexification. For such a blatant action by someone of his stature…his Hyperversal Extremity Authority shall be stripped by half!]

…!

For his blatant violation of the Investiture of Extremity, Kabul would be stripped of half of his Hyperversal Extremity Authority!

It was a shocking punishment that was meant to serve more as a message than anything else as with it, beings would be told that they shouldn't just expect Obsidian or Crimson Haven Albatrosses to bear the weight of if they violate the Investiture of Extremity.

But…the tendrils of Devouring around a certain being vibrated as he shook his head.

[No. Taking half the authority of a Hyperversal Extremity for merely gazing upon the Recorded History of a lower life form is an unreasonable price.]

…!

He spoke with the same dominance and surety as the Adjudicator of Dissolution as if they were equals!

And yet the veiled figure of Dissolution turned her head as her fair hand rose up.

[You seem to be under the misconception that I was asking for permission.]

WAA!

[No…my punishment is already done.]

Her words were utterly cold as her fair hand that had risen came down!

And with it…

[Ah…!]

Behind the figure of the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring, Kabul cried out as even under the protection of his Master, he found that a great chunk of his authority and power was fading away!

This was an unfathomable situation as the profound and powerful Hyperversal Authority of Devouring was all around him, and the authority of the Adjudicator of Dissolution shouldn't have been able to reach him.

And yet…

[Erasing the Recorded History of a weak-willed Hyperversal Extremity who would go as far as to blatantly attack lower lifeforms is an easy thing to do. Let this serve as a warning to any others alongside him. Erasing their records in the event of any violations…will be just as easy.]

…!

Her voice felt chilling as Kabul's soul shuddered.

She had…erased so much of his Recorded History to the extent that half of his Hyperversal Extremity Authority was taken away?!

His soul felt the changes that were so profound that it shouldn't be possible for any common Hyperversal Extremity to even dream of it. And yet…he found to his horror that he couldn't find any knowledge or records of two of his Absolute Dynamis of Extremity.

Not just that, he had lost any knowledge of a few dozen of his Boundaries, with the second boundary he should have attained Extremity in after Devouring…also being nowhere in sight!

[No…] His soul felt blank as if it had forgotten utterly crucial things that should have never left him.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of profound fear when he gazed towards the veiled Adjudicator of Dissolution as her power…it was actually so terrifying that it could go as far as erase the Recorded History that even included a Boundary that had reached Extremity? His Recorded History that shouldn't even be accessible by any in the Aeonic Annals of Extremity?!

Just…who was she?

In his fear, he floated ever closer behind the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring as he felt his Master gaze towards the Adjudicator of Dissolution coldly.

[Letting it serve as a warning…what a curious thing for you to say, Adjudicator.]

His voice was deep as he gazed towards the surroundings, seemingly seeing through all veils and gazing at all of Dissolution as his eyes even came to lock onto Noah's visage.

[Do you know what is even more curious though? Most Adjudicators quietly observe their jobs and duties. Yet in the span of days, you've had multiple interventions publicly spread all around. Apex Aeonic Lifeforms killing lower lifeforms, hundreds of Scions perishing under your watch, an Apex War blooming, and now…even a clash against Hyperversal Extremities. It really brings to question your judgment and position.]

HOONG!

The shocking words caused even Noah's eyes to turn sharp as he felt the dense Hyperversal Extremity Authority of Devouring blaze, the very reality itself being devoured as the figure of the injured Extremity disappeared first.

At the shocking words, the veiled visage of the Adjudicator of Dissolution actually laughed sonorously as one could feel immense coldness in it, her voice booming out on all sides!

[How kind of you to worry about my position. When you are able to stand before my presence for longer than a few seconds before scurrying away, maybe then I'll take your worries with care.]

…!

Words that utterly decimated the grandeur of the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring echoed out.

In the far distance, a hidden figure of Ahpuch's Master, the Hyperversal Extremity of Destruction- his visage drew a sharp breath as he was once more reminded how unfathomable the Adjudicator of Dissolution was!

Without trading any more words, the brilliant aura of Devouring fully disappeared along with the being that came with it- a massive void being left in space that the Adjudicator of Dissolution waved her hands to erase.

The surroundings then became veiled and distorted as she stared towards a far pocket of space where the aura of Destruction silently disappeared, her gaze then coming to land on Noah as she asked coldly.

[Why are dredges of Devouring looking at you?]

…!

Even though she knew that part of this was due to her position, there also seemed to be more in play as when she focused on Noah, he only shook his head while gazing towards the twisting landscape around them.

"They seem to want one of my people who has an Innate Pellucid Hyperversal Foundation."

WAA!

He spoke freely as the veiled eyes of the Hyperversal Extremity pulsed!

He held an being with such a foundation?! Even though it wasn't as pristine as a being like him who had forged an Absolute Dynamis of Extremity, it still meant that it was an existence that was reasonably guaranteed to achieve Extremity in time as she would be sought after by any Inheritance or even the Seven Clans!

[You…]

This being before her also seemed to become more and more unfathomable, but she had no idea that among Noah's people, there were multiple who were at the cusp of attaining an Absolute Dynamis of Extremity as there were dozens of Extremity Foundations just waiting for a missing spark to do the same!

When all of it was revealed in the upcoming Apex War along with an massive number of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms that would make one think they stemmed from a powerful Inheritance of Extremity…the reasoning and understanding of reality would be warped for many!
