The tides of destiny churned in a chaotic manner as infinite pathways of possibilities bloomed.
Noah’s vibrant eyes could seemingly see many of them as after he thought about the Nine Firmaments of Ascendancy, he calmed himself down from his grand ideals and stared at the battlefield around him.
Even though things were done here, there was still much to do as apart from Cecilia, there were two Higher Existences wanting to reap the benefits while doing little work in the Boundary Between Realities.
When he came to this, Noah’s eyes refocused as he looked at the calmly floating figure of Eckert who was currently looking at the enormous body of the Celestial Vine while he played with his dull golden sword.
Noah thought of how he had called this being over as while still in his cosmic-sized form, he waved his hands to cause a single Shard of a Seed of Reality to appear within his hands. A Shard the size of a Universe as it instantly released a terrifying air of power outside, many eyes turning towards it as Noah freely threw the Shard towards Eckert while voicing out.
“A deal is a deal. Your help at the crucial juncture allowed all my plans to fall into place as in exchange…a treasure that will allow you to enter the Cosmic Filament Realm is now yours!”
WAA!
Noah gave away one of the Shards freely as one might notice that these were not duplicated! The reason for this was that as always, RUINATION had made a move to duplicate all coming treasures as usual, but the Cosmic Treasure did not succeed in this endeavor this time around as the Shards of a Seed of Reality and Existential Pearls were at too high of a tier for the capabilities of a Cosmic Treasure!
It meant that in the near future, Noah had to work to elevate the level of RUINATION into a Quasi-Primordial Relic or even a Relic itself…and the plans for this were already in the works as Noah did not want to lose the capabilities of Duplication among many others.
Eckert’s form expanded rapidly to be larger than a Universe as he caught the Shard of a Seed of Reality, his eyes flashing with arcs of blue light as his surprise could be seen by all.
“I half-believed you when you said a treasure like this would drop from this battle…but I didn’t expect it to be so ridiculous!” The disbelief was palpable even in the voice of this other anomaly with the same name, the effects of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor simply being too domineering as it was hard to grasp how the Shard of a Seed of Reality came to be.
Eckert looked at it closely as he shook his head while speaking questioningly towards Noah.
“This came with the aid of your System?”
The eyes of the Great Usurper flashed with light as he wondered, Noah smiling lightly as he waved his hands to cause the disappearance of the Domains of Apocalypse and True Sanguine Clones while he replied.
“No. My System is yet to be forged…this is all just from an Edict!”
WAA!
His Infinite System was yet to be forged as he was already at such a level of power now! What will happen when the dream of this came to fruition?
“Crazy…what the hell will you be doing when you do forge one?” Eckert gazed towards Noah in defeat as he sighed, the Shard of a Seed of Reality disappearing from his hands and being put away as he then gazed upwards with a sharp gaze.
“You don’t need help with the two ugly looking guys hiding far from the bounds of this Reality?”
Eckert mentioned the horrendously powerful Higher Existences behind the current scheme, Noah shaking his head towards such a question as he had his own plans for this!
He was honest as his stellar eyes shone brightly while he replied.
“The Primordial Cecilia was the only tough stepping stone. After stepping over her, everything else becomes much easier as the hiding Higher Existences…I have my own plans for them!”
…!
His words reverberated out as Eckert nodded, a smile appearing on his face as he focused on Noah while his body began to shine with a spatial light.
“Confident as always…if I ever hit a wall, I’ll be sure to call on you next. With the Loot from today, I can step into the Cosmic Filament Realm and deal with a certain pesky Primordial of my own.”
Arcs of blue light could be seen emanating from Eckert as he spoke freely, Noah nodding towards this being as he measured their destiny and fortune. The agreement between him and Eckert had only extended to helping with the battle against Cecilia as Noah had his own plans for the beings hiding in the dark- being extremely confident as he knew the two beings should be in the First Firmament of Ascendancy just like him as this…was something he could handle!
“Reach out whenever you can.” He nodded towards the blue eyed anomaly that smiled devilishly before he disappeared, the only thing left in the surroundings being the Legions of the ‘Protectors of Reality’ that stood dumbfounded, along with Noah’s own people who had returned to their positions after experiencing being Heralds of Apocalypse.
Cecilia was a single ordeal that was passed, but there were still many things to do as in the next moments…Noah had to assimilate the strength he received while devouring a Shard of a Seed of Reality to step into the Cosmic Filament Realm!
BZZZT!
His body began to release waves of light as instantly, the crimson Ascendancy Halo reappeared as he lost his true form, the consciousness of Hyperion returning and waking up as he became Nion again. Another instant later, the form of Nion fluctuated with multicolored light as it divided in two, Noah’s figure being seen floating calmly as the Draconic-Elephantine figure of Hyperion appeared and gazed around with desolate eyes.
Around Noah’s body, the Ascendancy Halo had become slightly dim as it seemed some portions were empty- with Hyperion showing the same scene as his Halo was barely halfway formed compared to Noah’s!
The authority of the Reality Overseer was clustered mainly around Noah’s portion of the Halo as this was just one of the many intricacies when it came to the issue of the shared Ascendancy Halo between Noah and Hyperion.
An issue that would cease to exist in a matter of moments as Noah has just gained 30 brand new Edicts and could form multiple Halos if he wished!
“It is done?” The Archaic voice of the Ender of Reality reverberated out.
Hyperion had no recollection of the events after his consciousness had gone asleep, Noah nodding towards the Ender of Reality whom he still had a working relationship with as towards this helper, Noah also waved his hands and threw over a Shard of a Seed of Reality!
“As promised, you have your freedom. We shouldn’t need to fuse again in the future, and all that is left now is to take care of a few pests before designing both our Systems…and then you can roam the Infinite Realities as you wish!”
WAA!
Hyperion caught the Shard of a Seed of Reality as his eyes squinted with shock, Noah’s voice continuing to echo out as his main body faded away while letting his Clones take care of the remnants of the battle.
“Break into the Cosmic Filament Realm first…and then we shall go see the schemer that gave you the Eonic Bell of the Unguarded!”
…!
