Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2914 The Fruit of Existence II

"The pieces on my side will be ready soon. I'll cement the discussions with Archon Basileus Lethith and thereafter, we can move at any time. What timeline do you foresee?"

A timeline.

A timeline for deception and treachery!

At this, Basileus Anaine smiled as she thought about something.

"Nine days."

"...?"

Nine days!

This was how long Basileus Anaine expected as when Basileus Sarynn saw this smile, her eyes turned sharp and cautious as she asked.

"You have a look of interest in your eyes…what did you latch into? Who did you latch onto?"

The question was sharp as Basileus Sarynn could sense something from the weavings of her expressions.

But the moment she tried to peer a bit deeper into these weavings…she came upon a blank wall as she could only ask!

The smile from Basileus Anaine slowly faded into calmness as she replied lightly.

"Something special. It may turn out into a factor, it may not. I'm still waiting and seeing."

…!

The words further caused the cautious light in the eyes of Basileus Sarynn to burn as the temperature in this whole Record began to rise.

"It's not a man, is it? The moment that I hear a man has laid his hands on you…"

An utterly domineering and possessive light shone from her eyes as Basileus Sarynn leaned forward again, her eyes openly locking onto the astonishing visage of Basileus Anaine as once more…

"Boundaries, Basileus Sarynn. You continue to violate them." Basileus Anaine reminded.

"Hmph." Basileus Sarynn harrumphed as she came out of her unique state of mind at these words, her figure rising as the hot air around her only became more intense.

She looked up to calm herself as she spoke.

"All right. Nine days. Nine days before you enact your dream of holding onto a Codex of Extremity…I sure hope you've prepared enough Fruits of Existence to utilize it."

…!

The Codex of Extremity!

One of the deciding factors in all the weavings of this deception.

Only Archon Basileus Al-Abalem had access to it as with the Codex of Extremity, one could do many things. And it was because Archon Basileus Al-Abalem had already done many things that Basileus Anaine did not for a second believe she could do this all alone.

Not against someone who had been utilizing the Codex of Extremity for so long- not against someone with the wealth that Archon Basileus Al-Abalem had accumulated.

Not against someone who had assimilated so many Fruits of Existence and continued to consume them unceasingly!

The difficulty was high.

But it was things with the highest Difficulty that were always the most rewarding!

"Mmm, I'll keep in touch. Let me know when all the pieces can move."

WAP!

With a flicker of crimson gold radiance, Basileus Sarynn entirely faded as if she were never there.

Basileus Anaine looked at this scene calmly as she pondered.

Around her, the white sea began to recede rapidly as it seemed to be disappearing.

The skies, the space…everything about this record seemed to be receding and disappearing as within moments, even the throne opposite her disappeared.

She waved her hands as the Fruits of Existence in front of her also faded away as an instant later, she was standing in a black record.

She was alone.

The concurrently unfolding Record had all but faded as if it never occurred.

As if this meeting never occurred.

It wasn't etched down or recorded anywhere as this meeting…never occurred!

In the bounds of the Aeonic Annals of Extremity.

Moving between Existence and Non-existence, the expanding and ever strengthening construct that was the Infinite Hyperversal Haven stood staunchly.

Within it, at depths other beings could not even enter…the figures of the Manifestation of the Infinite Hyperversal Haven and Ruination could be seen.

In front of them, the Dowager of Quintessence could be seen along with the figure of none other than her Son, the Extremity of Quintessence!

"When you mentioned a fruit, I had to see for myself."

…!

She oversaw the cultivation of many of the herbs and spiritual fruits within the Infinite Hyperversal Haven as she even dabbled within the Alchemy Hall!

At the mention of something that exceeded anything cultivated in the Infinite Hyperversal Haven, she came to observe!

"Mmm…" Noah nodded towards his mother with a smile as he waved his hands.

Above them, tens of thousands of fragments of what would make up a single Fruit of Existence gathered, 100,000 Fragments of Endocarps, Mesocarps, Exocarps, and the fragment of the seed of the Fruit of Existence itself!

They shone with a golden translucent light as they began to rotate as if they were stellar bodies at this moment.

The fragments of the Seed were at the very center as they swirled and came ever closer, with pieces of the Endocarp following up as pieces of the Mesocarp and Exocarp followed thereafter- as if they were making the composition of a genuine fruit!

[Converge.]

HUUM!

Noah spoke out with authority as the Extremity of Loot exploded with a golden light, all the swirling pieces of the Fruit of Existence being brought together as a blinding light shone!

In the midst of this process, the Dowager of Quintessence turned her head sideways and asked lightly.

"You cannot multiply the composition of this Fruit yet?"

Her words were directed towards none other than Ruination as akin to a filial daughter, the figure of Ruination replied in a soft voice of respect that didn't at all match the terrifying Armament that she was.

"Not yet, Mother. After I consume a Fruit of Existence, what it grants me will theoretically make it possible for me to begin multiplying the pieces that make it. We just don't understand much about it yet."

The Dowager nodded at this as in the next moment, a blinding light of existence shone.

An existential light, and yet it didn't belong to any specific Existential Extremity Authority!

As it was coming to fruition…

[The Weaver of Extremity observes the formation of a Quintessential construct.]

[The Quintessential Annals of Extremity record an unimaginable achievement!]

Something far outside of his grasp at this moment.

And yet…here it was.

[A Fruit of Existence…is blooming before your very eyes.]

HUUM!

With waves of brilliance that caused his Existential Extremity Authorities to shudder in excitement, a clear, translucent fruit bloomed before Noah.

Its advent…was the first sign that his enemies were about to be in a world of Quintessential pain!
