Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Shock.

That was the only thing in Halcyon's heart as she learned the wondrous Cosmic Dao of Fusion while utilizing the essence of a pristine Primordial Heart, Noah then nudging her on as she called forth the essences of laws and daos that made her a Foremother- the rough combination of essence that put her on the stage of <A Glimpse of Edicts>!

"Madness…pure madness! Just what are you?!" Springforge was in disbelief as she looked towards Noah who actually didn't pay her any heed, his eyes remaining on the curvaceous figure of Halcyon as he voiced out.

"Go ahead. Fuse them."

With these words, Halcyon collected the rough mixtures of essence around her while causing the Cosmic Dao of Fusion to erupt around her- her eyes seeing the formation of an Edict she had thought would come much later!

—-

While Halcyon tried to complete her first Edict, Noah went forward to complete his third after Cessation and Kismet as the next one was a defensive based Edict!

BZZT!

Essence of a myriad of laws and daos merged together chaotically as after fully eating up another 20 Resplendent Grand Primordial Hearts, Noah had achieved <A Glimpse of Edicts> on yet another Edict as this one contained the Daos of Conquest, Chronos, Vastness, Fortification, Vitality, and the laws of Life, Earth, and Water.

It was an Edict that would be in the upper tier of MINOR Edicts and almost reaching GREATER Edicts due to how many daos it held within it, and it was why it took so long to complete it!

"Fuse together!" Noah bellowed out domineeringly as his essence of Fusion roiled out madly, wrapping around the cluster of dao and law essences as his Origin also began to burn 1000 Splendiferous Universes!

A wondrous assortment of colors came together to form a glorious purple-blue line that shot into and bound into Noah's Origin tightly, the name of this Edict appearing with his mind.

"Bulwark…"

The Nomological Edict of Bulwark!

<Nomological Edict of Bulwark> :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos. It cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of Bulwark is born from the combination of the Daos of Conquest, Chronos, Vastness, Fortification, Vitality, and the laws of Life, Earth, and Water. As the Edict Architect, Noah Osmont gains the Authority of Bulwark that grants him unique rights. With the essence of Bulwark, the user can be protected to a great degree against many forms of damage as they are granted a permanent 50% chance to Block All Forms of Damage. The Authority of Bulward grants one the ability to cast True Auras of Defense that include <Shield of the Bulwark>, <Aura Master>, <Warder>, and <Ephemeral Fortress>. Along with this, any Nomological Edict grants its user a smoother pathway towards ●●●●●●●, granting them an increase in the speed of their Realm Progression by +100,000%, an increase of +1,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 1% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of Bulwark: 1%

A beautiful defensive Edict and its abilities lay before Noah's eyes, his gaze going towards the four abilities he now gained access to as the Architect of this Edict!

<Shield of the Bulwark> :: When facing a tremendously strong attack, the user can call upon a primal shield that has even withstood the test of time to defend them. The Shield of the Bulwark grants +50,000,000% Increased True Defense, can block 50% of All Incoming True Damage, and has a Thorn effect that returns 100,000,000% of all received Damage.

<Aura Master> :: A collection of incandescent auras can be called upon to surround the user. The [Aura of Vigor], [Aura of Defense], [Aura of Mana], [Aura of Grace], [Aura of Might], [Aura of Serenity], [Aura of Discipline], and [Aura of Determination] as they gain 100,000,000% Mana and Health Regeneration, +25,000,000% True Defense, +25,000,000 Area of Effect to All Abilities, +25,000,000% Increased Health Value, and 1,000,000 Condensed Barriers of Defense among other boosts…

<Warder> :: The user becomes a Ward as he surrounds a maximum of 1000 beings with an Aura that absorbs all Damage dealt to them towards him. All incoming damage is accumulated in the Aura of the Warder as it can be released with +25,000,000% Increased True Annihilatory Damage towards one's enemies.

<Ephemeral Fortress> :: The ability to move is nullified as in exchange, one becomes a stationary fortress capable of blocking even the essence of Greater Edicts to a degree. While in the state of Ephemeral Fortress, 90% of incoming damage is reduced as the damage from any Dao Essences is nullified by the user. Only top tier Minor Edicts can harm the user under this state as they can only be possibly killed by the essence of Greater Nomological Edicts.

Wondrous new skills that came with this Edict appeared before his eyes as <Shield of Bulwark> and <Ephemeral Fortress> could be cast when a terrifying attack was thrown his way.

Then there were the unique abilities of <Warder> and <Aura Master>! The first one was unique as it protected others apart from him and then reflected all damage back to the enemy, but the latter one…

It reminded Noah of the skills he obtained back on the blue planet when he was just an upcoming hunter- granting him the capability to cast a protective barrier or aura at all times with his infinite mana as even if he was asleep and enemies attacked him- they would find themselves despairing to find him stacked with multiple barriers and aura!

Now, such a capability was brought back to him and in even grander terms as the Auras he could call forth had vastly different capabilities- some of them increasing the rate of his mana and health regeneration as others gave him hundreds of thousands of condensed barriers of defense.

"Aura Master."

He called out slowly as his mana churned, becoming exchanged into the Nomological Edict of Bulwark as a stupendous ability was activated. An array of colorful aura bubbles then bloomed gloriously around Noah's already incandescent Universal Body!
