Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

2247 No More Barren Lands! II

An unprecedented level of danger arrived as Theseus was placed under great pressure, his very life put on the line as he finally felt the 6th Boundary that was so far away from him surge towards his direction!

SHIING!

Countless waves of Sword Light released from him as above his head, his enacted domain that had the massive white gold sword was nearly broken down from countless Stanchions of Loot Light crossing through it.

It began to brighten up and reform at this moment as its Master made a breakthrough, seas of sword lights beginning to rise!

But...

BOOOM!

The Stanchions of light came back with even more fervor as they erased everything and turned it into Loot again, where even the Body of Theseus that had erupted with waves of Sword Light to keep the three hands surging towards him from nearby Stanchions at bay...it found all these waves of sword lights devoured as the hands continued towards his direction.

<Ah...>

He finally realized that he was not just going to carve himself as if he was a diamond under immense pressure from this battle. He realized he had placed himself in the jaws of a genuine Esoteric Entity that he did not fully understand as at such a juncture....

SHIING!

His soul began to burn as he released the brightest light of power in his life, his Aeonic Soul Damage Values exceeding 20,000 all around him and pushing back the Loot light as this existence that had lived for an extremely long time and prized his life the most above anything...tore upwards and away from any nearby Stanchions of light as he headed towards the edge of the enacted Planar Boundaries!

Escape.

This was the only pathway the sword genius Theseus saw after affirming the ridiculous strength of this being!

To existences like them who had lived for so long, the shame of escaping was nothing in the face of death as if they lived a few billions years longer than their enemy, they might just be able to defeat them and pay them back in the future!

But for now...

The sharpest sword light sought to leave the battlefield.

On the other side, the ancient NOBLESSE Desiderius has fallen into a similar predicament as Noah constantly appeared from different Stanchions of light, his body devouring any of the thick tendrils of VOID Gehenna beastial heads roaring out as he neared the precious visage of this NOBLESSE.

The Obsidian Halos around this being pulsed with grandiosity as they enlarged at this moment, forming a thick encirclement of brilliant Halos that momentarily rebuffed the hands of multiple Quintessential Dimensional Chassis that had randomly appeared from different Stanchions!

This ancient being had many unique tools under his belt as this Innate ability of his was something all NOBLESSE had- and he had honed it to the point that a staggering number of tens of thousands of Aeonic Soul Defense Values wrapped around him right now protectively- multiple times what he could initially release as his output!

It was ten times his maximum Aeonic Soul Defense Values- an ability that he could only cast once a day. It was one of his many saving tools as he enacted it while gazing coldly towards the many Stanchions around him.

"You have proved yourself, O True Emperor of Quintessence. Let us talk."

WAA!

In his ancient manner, the voice of Desiderius emanated out even amidst this critical danger as he didn't seem hurried!

"I will not seek the complete destruction of your 9 Minor Planes, and I will leave with my goals achieved. Making me fall here will be extremely hard for you if I fight to the death, with the results unknown. In the event i somehow do fall here...your Planes will be marked for all the NOBLESSE to come for. So, what shall it be?"

His <Planar Void of Gehenna> receded close to his body as boundless tendrils of darkness swirled around him, his abyssal eyes watching the escaping figure of Theseus in the far distance as the only thing left now was the response of the True Emperor of Quintessence!

The being that was currently expressing the grandeur of the 6th Boundary Layer to the fullest as he was in a state of epiphany that fused his very soul into everything within his Planar domain, with his mind empty of all things but the purpose of the domain he had laid out.

There was only the single thought of Loot.

So from the myriad of golden stanchions snaking across the Halcyon Plane of Loot, grand words emanated out.

<Everything is Loot.>

WAA!

Terrifying and nonsensical words emanated out from all angles as they could strike terror into the hearts of weak beings!

<I am Loot. You are Loot. So just...become loot>

...!

The words of Desiderius were utterly disregarded as at this juncture, half of all the golden stanchions of the Halcyon Plane of Loot surged towards this NOBLESSE while the other half went to surround the singularity of Swords that was Theseus on all sides!

The True Emperor of Quintessence cared not for any dialog or discussion at this moment as there was only the thought of Loot!

In this moment in time as he was extremely attuned to the Boundary of LOOT, he sought to entirely devour two powerful existences and further elevate himself towards Extremity!

Even though in the surroundings of the established Halcyon Plane of Loot that covered everything, the fabric of Reality around it had all faded at this moment.

The very fabric of a Major Plane had disappeared as at this juncture, immensely disastrous spatial storms began to form.

The walls between Planes broke down as the austere essence of the Planar Palisades of Extremity began to leak and perforated in the surroundings.

The immense blanket of VOID that Desiderius had laid out has no Plane to attach to as it began to break down- the many Anchors places across the past Barren Lands losing their positioning as at this moment...this Plane was entirely devoured into a monstrous construct!

From this day onward, it could be uttered that the past Barren Lands which gave birth to a Lineage that had already made their incursion into the Vaults of Extremity...these Barren Lands were no more!
