Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2606 Vitalis and Vacuous!

In a distant memory within the mind of an existence locked away from space and time.

Tendrils of Vacuous Hyperversal Authority danced on the fingers of a young woman as in front of her, a massive shadowy figure blazing with extremely potent Vacuous Hyperversal Authority could be seen.

All around them, only darkness and void remained as the entity before her spoke.

[Do you know the difference between us and the Vitalis Malignancies?]

The voice was much kinder than before, seemingly appreciative of the progress that the young woman had made since her Second Vacuous Awakening.

When she opened her apathetic eyes and shook her head, the entity before her continued.

[As we grow, we are closely interlinked with Vacuous Hyperversal Authority as our souls passively absorb and enrich our existence until we have our First Vacuous Awakening. This grants us much more power and possibilities as the Vitalis Malignancies…they only have trace amounts of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority within their bodies throughout their lifetime. Due to how much greater Vitalis Hyperversal Authority is compared to Vacuous Hyperversal Authority, they are not able to undergo any Awakening unless they have traversed far in Extremity and learn to actively refine and absorb Vitalis with greater potency.]

…!

[Our greatest enemies…are the Vitalis Malignancies who are gradually becoming aware of the sheer strength of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority. But they are still young and rudimentary. Were they like us and capable of undergoing Awakenings as easily, this war we fight to defend ourselves would have long since been over.]

As he spoke, the Entity shrouded in Vacuous Hyperversal Authority gazed into the distance with unknown emotions before he continued.

[Others do not admit of the supremacy of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority over Vacuous Hyperversal Authority like I do…but we all inherently know it. Otherwise, how could the Seven Vitalis Havens be so powerful to even deny entry to us? How could its foul tendrils of authority continue to invade our homes? What we need to do to win this war is accept our limitations…and focus on our strengths. We need to win this war before any more of them understand the authority around them. We need more entities like you who can survive within the Seven Vitalis Havens and systematically break them down from within before they learn what they truly have all around them. Do you understand…Svetlana?]

…!

His eyes were deep and filled with immeasurable light.

He seemed to be carrying the weight of countless things on his shoulders as terrifying Vacuous Hyperversal Authority of stupendous power shone in his eyes!

"I understand." And the emotionless reply from Svetlana was simple.

[Mmm. The appearance of the Vitalis Malignancies is a danger as well as an chance for us. Their bodies are like tonics as assimilating then spurs and stimulates the Vacuous Hyperversal Authority within us to be refined at an even greater pace, our power slowly approaching a level where we could even begin to contemplate rising up against…them. The Ones Above Extremity!]

WAA!

An utterly heavy term escaped from his lips as Svetlana gazed at him with her cold eyes after that.

They held hesitation within as she spoke slowly.

"Master…if we assimilate the Seven Vitalis Havens and obtain their power. If we rise against The Ones Above Extremity and obtain their power…will we finally be done, Master? Will all the fighting and death stop?"

[...]

Svetlana's words caused the enormous dark entity to turn silent as he continued to stare out into nothingness.

He didn't seem to have an answer for her when it came to this question as he remained silent.

Would it ever stop?

When they reached a certain height, would everything attain a state of peace and prosperity as they spent the remainder of their life in serenity?

The dark entity actually had an answer.

But after all the horrors he had put this girl before him through, he just couldn't bring himself to give her the answer.

As this…would simply be too cruel.

The change was not instant.

The change was also not normal.

The First Vacuous Awakening. The First Vitalis Awakening!

All of it was entirely foreign to Noah as out of the many transformations he had, this one did not finish within seconds, minutes, or even hours.

His Main Body had been floating at the very peak of the Infinite Hyperversal Haven that was contained in a Recorded History, the reality around him distorted as the Infinite Hyperversal Haven itself built a circular Minor Haven around him pulsing with life.

His will was also affected in his other bodies as they all continued his soul, with the changes that were occurring around him almost making him want to enter hibernation and entirely close off his Soul!

So he limited how much he was expressing himself in his other bodies.

The visage of Alexander King returned to the Infinite Hyperversal Haven as this part of Noah's soul faced the same transformation.

His will only remained entirely active with a sliver of his concentration in the clones that were with the Adjudicator of Dissolution, the Reified Wealdian Sources of Extremity, Ayame of the Infinite Extremity in the Haven of Helios, and Erikson of the Sima Clan in the Haven of Genesis!

As the Awakening went underway, the repercussions of the actions of the Avernus Extremities were only now beginning to unfold as the conclusion to this event was utterly heartbreaking!

In the Haven of Dissolution.

Noah's clone grasped the Curagulus Mask in his hands as his eyes hid the light of the fact that a majority of his soul was in a state of hibernation, his words calm as he spoke out towards the Adjudicator who seemed lost in thought.

"The Investiture of Extremity has been talked about a great deal by you and others. And yet…it seems like it isn't worth a shred of shit after the recent actions."

…His words were straightforward as they roused the contemplative Adjudicator up to gaze at his visage!

The Investiture of Extremity that was set up by the Senatus of Extremity.

The forces of the Avernus Clan may as well have ripped it to shreds with their recent actions!
