Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2675 An Endless War! I

Inside the Crimson Havenly Archipelago that Emperor Shao had just disappeared into.

Within its depths, layers of pockets of planes of existence were stretched across the massive structures and complex architecture.

Across the many planes of this Archipelago, there was a small one that was constructed entirely of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority, the space within it simmering with a pristine transparent white light as it seemed spotless and utterly empty of any filth!

In such a domain, a simple hut radiating age and vicissitude floated, the figure of a middle aged man with iridescent golden skin and white gold hair sitting outside of this hut as when he breathed in, Vitalis flowed into his nose.

When he breathed out, even more waves of Vitalis flowed out as the surroundings became that much richer!

He adorned a simple white robe that pulsed with the silent light of an Armament of Extremity

His body itself didn't emanate any waves of power as one couldn't be sure if he was at Tier 1 of Extremity, Tier 4…or even possibly beyond it.

He seemed to stare out into nothingness, and yet he could see things that other Extremities could not even imagine with his gaze alone!

At this moment, the calm area around him was interrupted as another figure warped in, bowing respectfully with her curvaceous figure as her golden skin smoothly absorbed the Vitalis Hyperversal Authority in the surroundings.

[Shao has returned, Master.]

[Mmm…]

Her coming to inform him of this was only protocol as this being had long since foreseen this many years ago when he was perusing Unrecorded Histories!

Seeing his calm response, the woman bowing towards him and emanating profound waves of power at the Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity level had a difficult expression arise.

She sighed in her heart, but as if this being before her could read her soul, his words rang out.

[You question why I rebuked him so harshly and sent him to the Nether Havens of Extremity all those years ago. It had to happen this way. What we need are not coddled children, but Champions. Now that he has returned, he won't lose out much from not being here all these years as an inheritance worth billions of Units of Havenly Aurora is being accepted by him. What remains to be seen is what his years worth of work will amount to once his potential explodes all at once…]

His voice was serene and filled with ancientness.

Vitalis Hyperversal Authority seemed to become more active at his words as the woman bowing towards him became all that more respectful!

Outside the Vitalis Hyperversal Domains.

Atop a Bastion of Vitalis, a white robed Emperor Shao was in a seated position while stroking his sword.

Around him, the scene was constantly changing as waves of Extremities proficient in Vacuous Hyperversal Authority were being deployed, while those who hand grasped this authority yet stayed within the bounds of Vitalis as reinforcements and support.

All of them stared gravely at the massive and numerous Hyperversal Savior's Arks that were made of 9 spinning wheels of exterminating light, a dense number of Extremities protecting the depths of this Ark as around it- a terrific domain was released that pushed away Vitalis Hyperversal Authority!

In the field of this domain, tens of millions of Apex Vacuous Lifeforms brimmed with power, while within the Savior's Arks themselves, 100 Hyperversal Extremities remained with grandeur!

They had gotten ever closer as it seemed a flash was imminent, these massive vessels already entering the gray field where Vitalis and Vacuous constantly repulsed each other.

The visage of Emperor Shao gazed at all this as he spoke towards the blazing aura at the center of this particular Bastion of Vitalis- the aura of the Esteemed Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity overseeing this defensive like!

[Since the day I was born, I was told that Vacuous Malignancies were our greatest enemies that were seeking our very Annihilation. Even then, we were at war.]

…!

As he spoke, his seated figure began to rise.

His simple rising motion caused the surrounding reality to begin trembling, the nearby Extremities beginning to feel a heavy pressure rousing from him as he became alarmed!

The Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity his words were directed to radiated light as he entirely focused on Emperor Shao who continued at this moment.

[Before I was born, Vacuous Malignancies were still our enemies as a war was being fought even then. Cornelius…do you remember when we weren't at war?]

WAA!

His word caused the Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity to pulse with a grandiose light as he didn't reply!

This was because before he was even born, there was a war. And after he came to be, he simply became another being to fight in this war!

At this point, Emperor Shao had entirely stood up as the pressure he radiated caused the surroundings to shake even more, the nearby Tier 3 Hyperversal Extremities feeling a stifling pressure as they moved away in shock.

He grasped the sword he had been stroking this whole time as from his hands, transparent white streams of light began to gather and flow into the sword.

[This…!]

Seeing this scene, Esteemed Cornelius was shocked as the words of Shao continued!

[It seems that we have always been at war, and we will continue to be at war. Even me…I do not think I will be significant enough to stop this war. I do not know what or who needs to rise…in order to finally put this war to rest.]

HOOONG!

His body exploded with horrific and fantastical power.

The streams of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority around him became denser and denser as they transformed into a raging river of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority that wrapped around the sword and roared out with maddening grandeur!

His caramel-colored skin began to be tinted with a golden hue as his dark hair gained traces of white gold, a glorious Havenly Authority erupting around him as every single action he took caused great alarm and shock to rise.

What was this?

Was this the same being who had not even undergone his First Vitalis Awakening minutes ago?

Why was he now controlling Vitalis Hyperversal Authority, and in such an obscene fashion at that?!
