Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2875 The Existential Symposium! I

The Primogenitor of Steel was a being involved in many things across Vacuous and Vitalis.

Even though he couldn't speak with complete confidence, he could say without a doubt that there were very few beings that he didn't know or at least hear of across the Annals of Extremity!

And there were even fewer who could make it so that their standing in the Gradations of Extremity could be veiled before his eyes.

And yet today…this was the second Entity he saw that he could not recognize nor understand the power of!

There were many possibilities for this, some simply being due to his own power and there being entities who hid themselves far too deep over the eons, and other reasons being extremely complex as they would involve even more terrifying possibilities.

The first unknown entity that had passed through these doors held an unfathomable smile as he was already seated on one of the far thrones, while this entity passing by him now also held a smile…but his was filled with interminable mystery!

Receiving his nod, the intent of the Primogenitor of Steel moved.

[Friend, I don't seem to have come across you before. You are?]

His intent was a calm but powerful one, honed over eons of forging and smithing as across Extremities, who else had forged more Armaments than him?!

His Honorariums and prestige were so high that many common Extremities at the Sixth Gradation and below found it hard to look at him.

This was his glory.

His honor!

Yet this being before him…

…!

The Extremity of Steel felt his veiled Haki buzzing with confrontation as he merely returned his gaze, coming to lock onto his pupils as Steel felt like he was staring into an unfathomable abyss!

And yet, calmness buzzed on his visage as he replied simply before continuing forward.

[The Weaver.]

HUUM!

[The Weaver of Extremity.]

…!

This entity said such astounding words as opposite Steel, even Curagulus had his eyes turn extremely sharp!

But after this being had spoken, he simply continued as he entered the Existential Arcadian High Hall and floated towards one of the circular thrones laid out.

Uniquely, the throne was directly opposite to the other unknown entity that had passed through these doors earlier!

[...]

Steel and Curagulus gazed at each other with silent contemplation as after another second, a pair of beings also walked through the door as the moment passed.

The word had been spread across the Annals of Extremity.

Vacuous and Vitalis, all prominent beings within the Fifth Gradation or higher would have heard the news!

The meeting this time was of paramount importance as from the many years since they had stepped in the Gradations of Extremity- from all the history they had perused and the observance of the disappearance and downfall of multiple Honored Ones…no entity had succeeded in doing what the most recent Honored One did.

The elevation of a concept to the Existential level as at this very moment, The Ones Above Extremity were coming in conflict with him!

It was a momentous change that had extremely important implications for all of them!

What was of paramount importance…was the final result of all of this. Would it be cemented in stone that the Ones Above Extremity were untouchable even after one attained an Existential Authority?

Would an entirely different reality play out as the most recent Honored One…would they actually be capable of touching the pristine and never before touched grandeur of the Ones Above Extremity?!

These questions had to be answered as for now, the weaving of time continued to flow as more and more entities came.

Those of the Extremity Lineages stemming from the Vacuous Hyperversal Authority.

Those of the Extremity Lineages and Clans of the Vitalis Hyperversal Domains!

Many, if not most of those who had received the word across the Annals of Extremity came as very few chose to sit out of such a meeting.

As the minutes passed, Curagulus gazed at the many thrones arranged in a circular formation that had gradually been filled with hundreds of Extremities far advanced in the Gradations of Extremity.

After some time, he spoke with surety.

[It is time.]

Those who intended to come had come.

Even the Primogenitor of Steel knew this, but he had a cloudy gaze as he gazed outside of the Existential Arcadian High Hall- as if he was looking for an aura that never appeared.

[That Little Sword Fanatic should be here with his people…]

There were some that the Primogenitor of Steel had expected to see that he didn't see.

But everyone made their own choices as even though he may not know, he had to move on with the meeting here!

HUUM!

The golden doors began to close behind them as Curagulus and Extremity walked towards the center of the dome like space within the Existential Arcadian High Hall, many eyes honing in on their figures as the golden visage of Curagulus spoke walked with a profound sense of confidence while speaking.

[I welcome all the lost souls, from Vitalis and Vacuous alike to my tiny domain- to my Arcadia.]

…!

Hundreds of eyes locked over towards the two figures arriving at the golden center filled with tall golden pillars as Curagulus continued.

[The reason we're all gathered here today is a single one. You may have heard whispers of it, rumors and possibilities. But we can affirm with high certainty that for the first time in Recorded History, one of us has managed to elevate their concept to the Existential level.]

WAA!

The eyes of powerful entities across the Gradations shone with a somber light.

On the thrones, there were ancient Entities reclined with grand auras of the Sixth and Seventh Gradations of Extremity.

At this moment, the aura of one of these beings blazed as a hellishly beautiful woman with long legs and fiery crimson eyes spoke sharply, her gaze moving from Curagulus and onto the Extremity of Steel!

[So why exactly call for this meeting, Steel? We all know how this goes. We all know the death and destruction to follow, and the History that will be recorded of yet another one of us being made an example of.]

…!
