A scene of wonder and utter fantasy played out as a being utterly dominated others in strength, forcefully holding onto an existence of the same level of strength as they couldn't even falter out of the way!
He held them as he approached the House this being stemmed from, looking at them straight in the eyes as an unstable Universe filled with mixtures of daos bloomed to take away another life.
"…"
When the white light died down and the ravages of unstable cosmic essence settled, his figure was the only one seen floating majestically with his bare chest glistening gloriously…all eyes settling on him as he seemed to be staring defiantly at trillions of existences on the crimson gold seats of the House of Stormdust.
Defiant as he would be winning this Writ of Challenge and taking a Cosmos that was under their Authority!
But before this scene settled…
RAA! RAA!
The resounding cry of an Emperor Penguin rang out as its figure could be seen tearing across the folds of space towards the few hundreds of Antiquities from the side of the House of Stormdust, Kazuhiko beside this Penguin as his voice also stretched out while filled with battle intent.
"Let us fight! The battle may have ended with the strongest, but we can still battle!"
WAA!
His body was releasing waves of Cosmic essence as his Archetype caused him to shine with a purple luster, looking forward to having a battle against other Antiquities even though Noah had finished the two strongest combatants already.
But…
THRUM!
Waves of essence released from the group of shaken Antiquities that just watched the two Daolords on their side get dismembered and blown up, all of them bowing down in defeat as they didn't even wait for the figures of enemy Antiquities to arrive!
"No…!"
Kazuhiko saw their surrender as he called out, making one think it was their side that had lost as his figure and the Emperor Penguin came to a halt a few miles away while watching the Antiquities from the Anthracite Cosmos call out defeat.
"Haaa…"
The faces of Noah's subordinates were unresigned as even though it was the first battle they would experience, they didn't even get the chance to battle enemies of their own level as Noah's actions alone against those he fought against broke their wills to fight against them!
They turned towards him as with the defeat of the other side of the Writ of Challenge, the brilliant circles of light that had shot forth from Noah and Daolord Ray and brought down the veil for them to fight…these lights coagulated and combined together as they shot towards Noah faster than light.
THUMP!
Sinking into his body and Origin, they afforded Noah a sense of Authority and power as beside the unique feeling of the Indigo Cosmos, he was able to 'feel' the Anthracite Cosmos that was adjacent to it!
Noah cast [Eyes of Truth] and [Understanding] towards this unique white light as he got a better sense of exactly what it was.
[Osmont's Primordial Light of Authority] :: A Light of Authority granted to the Overseer of a Cosmos, and it allows for the influence one exerts to be easily quantified and extrapolated in the form of Marks of Antiquity. Whoever holds the Light of Authority for a Cosmos will be designated as its main influencer, gradually accumulating the Marks of Antiquity that come with it. It is also needed to issue out and accept Writs of Challenges as it contains the authority of the domain one looks over. With it, one can willingly pass over their Authority to others, gain more authority over other Cosmos through Writs of Challenges, or lose their authority in a similar manner. Current Cosmos under Osmont's Primordial Light of Authority: Indigo, Anthracite.
Something unique to the Primordial Empire that better quantified and made simple the transfer of authority, making it so that the one holding it would begin to benefit from the accumulation of Marks of Antiquity as soon as they came to oversee a Cosmos!
Noah also felt these changes as aside from the many Marks of Antiquity he was obtaining passively every second from his influence stretching over the Infinite Cosmos and the small amount of influence he had on the Indigo Cosmos, he felt a jump in the number of Marks of Antiquities he was receiving after he obtained the Anthracite Cosmos under him as well.
But of course, the major source of his Marks of Antiquity came from the Infinite Cosmos where he was closely interconnected with the inhabitants through the Dao of Fealty, and he would be doing this for the Indigo Cosmos and Anthracite Cosmos as well in the near future as he obtained an even larger amount of Marks of Antiquity.
But the Primordial Light of Authority shone brightly on his body as it was a significant event in history!
It was the granting of spoils from losers to victors, Noah extending his authority over the Cosmos next to the Indigo Cosmos that was attached with the vast Primordial Scaffolding. All of the Antiquities and existences that stemmed from this Cosmos, whatever unique treasures…all of it was going to come under Noah as he had done something unbelievable.
BOOM!
A second later, at the very top of where the veil used to be before the battle started, glimmering lights akin to fireworks exploded out as they announced the official end of the Writ of Challenge, and this end came with its own consequences as from the crimson gold, green gold, and entirely gold seats that represented the Houses of Stormdust, Springforge, and Havenbreaker…the auras of trillions of powerful beings spread out wildly as they could now all be felt in the Cosmic Battlefield!
With the end of the Writ of Challenge, others were free to enter the vast and nigh endless battlefield.
The myriad of Daolords, Antiquities, Hegemonies, Paragons…the countless number of beings that now filled the coliseum-like seats at the edge of the were staring towards Noah as their wild auras could be felt. Even though fireworks seemed to be echoing out all around in celebration, there wasn't an ounce of cheer from all those watching as one would wonder…just how would an existence that had stolen a Cosmos of one of the three powerful factions of the Primordial Empire be received?!
