Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

<After experiencing the conquest of dozens of Realities, the Nomological Edict of the Tyrannical Emperor has been elevated from Insuperable to Quasi-TABOO.>

A wondrous prompt bloomed as after having one Edict elevated to Quasi-TABOO, Noah had another one undergo the same phenomena as a second Nomological Edict achieved Quasi-TABOO!

For him, it was that easy!

Others struggled to forge even a single Quasi-TABOO Nomological Edict in all their lives while he obtained two within the same minute.

How grand! How glorious!

From his Origin, beams of milky white gold light surged out as they threatened to overcome all darkness- the obsidian light of Apocalypse only being capable of covering half of Noah's body at this moment as his body became adorned in majestic white and gold wrappings.

As a Prime Reality met its end, multiple True Stars of Conquest actually bloomed from this action as the equivalency of Prime Realities compared to Emerging Realities was shown at this moment!

But before any of these wonders could be enjoyed…

"Oh?"

In the midst of raging white and black essence surrounding him from the concepts of the Tyrannical Emperor and Apocalypse, Noah's Origin and soul felt a tug from the essence of the Dictum Emperor.

The edict that relied on Destiny to keep him safe…it actually buzzed with activity at this moment as his ridiculous reserves of Destiny and Fortune sensed something unbelievable!

His spinning irises that ignored all logic shone like lanterns as he spoke while gazing far away from the forming Stars of Conquest rushing towards him.

"An unscalable danger that will cause the death of a Clone and reduction of my authority…"

…!

His destiny told him something unbelievable as his eyes became dangerously sharp, his hands moving to pull on the strings of destiny as he sought to find out which Clone would be affected!

"Not you…"

The destiny of the True Sanguine Clone in the Azure Forsaken Treasure Reality was supremely bright as he entered into a Domain Space holding another page of the ancient <Azure Treasure Emperor's Runic Ecriture of Modus Operandi>.

But the destiny of a Clone traveling with a certain Empress atop a cuboidal vessel…it had shockingly turned dark as Noah's soul shook with vibrant tyranny while his destiny gave off these hints!

He had just elevated two Edicts to Quasi-TABOO. His soul and origin were entirely unwilling as for a probable destiny of death for one of Noah's Clones if he didn't change course right now…he denied it thoroughly.

BZZZT!

His spinning irises released a terrifying light as he spoke out while wielding the essence of multiple Quasi-TABOO Nomological Edicts.

"Opportunity always lies with the most danger…let us see what lies ahead to grant such a threat as if death is fated, the Dictum Emperor was built to change just that!"

…!

His soul cried out powerfully as the core of Dictum Emperor was repeated. It was an Edict meant to help Noah to steer destiny in the direction he wanted. What better time was there to steer destiny away than now and turn a great danger into a tremendous opportunity?

"Let's see…"

The eyes of the Gazer crossed space and time to focus on what was happening countless light years away, the Assimilation of Prime Realities into the Infinite Reality now beginning in full as the seas of liquefied essence rose to intense levels!

In an enormous Enlightened Primordial Relic cuboidal vessel.

Noah sat beside Beatrix along the row of Cardinal Royal Humans behind the throne of the Empress, his shining eyes turning bright at this moment as he gazed at the stone faced buff existences with rippling muscles that only looked ahead with powerful expressions.

Empress Genevieve had a bored expression on her throne as she tapped her armrest while the vessel crossed vast distances.

"We just stay back here with grim faces without even talking?" Noah's voice was free as he spoke lightly at this moment.

The Empress didn't even turn back as it was Beatrix who barely glanced towards Noah with a sneering expression, the other Eight Firmament guards only glancing towards him before looking away coldly as it was actually the most powerful Ninth Firmament Cardinal Royal Human that turned to lock his gaze with his impassively!

Immense coldness and authority leaked from this being as his arms alone were the width of Noah's head, his dark hair dancing wildly on his head as even the simple strands of hair seemed powerful enough to shatter Cosmos and Realities!

With a sharp jawline and nose, his eyes were serenely cerulean blue as he gave off immense pressure that even caused Noah's surroundings to freeze. 

"You need to quickly learn to only speak when permitted while under the visage of the Empress…no matter your identity."

WAA!

Exceedingly cold words echoed out as Noah's eyes took on the pressure of this shocking being without buckling or cowering in his seat.

He turned to gaze at Beatrix and the other cold faced Cardinal Royal Humans as he was actually confirming something at this moment!

In the past days when he forged his Infinite System, he had the belief that his Destiny and Fortune had exceeded even most Ninth Firmament experts as it should be on another stage entirely. This was why he sensed danger was coming even before it arrived, and he affirmed his thoughts now as these powerful beings around him had yet to sense anything!

'My preparations have already started as now…it is only to watch how everything unfolds and whether I can steer the raging seas of destiny while surrounded by beings as powerful as these…'

Yes! Noah had just forged two Quasi-TABOO Nomological Edicts, and to stand against whatever danger was coming and even benefit from it, he would elevate even more Edicts to Quasi-TABOO…starting with the concept that granted him unique Ascendancy Halos.

These were the beginnings of his plans and preparations! This…was what he saw as the beginnings of his Path to Victory. A path that was actually still shaky at this moment as Noah might not be capable of weathering through what was to come unless he did many drastic things! And yet, he had to survive regardless. This Clone had to reach the domains of the Pure-Blooded Cardinal Royal Humans…and he had to get his hands on at least one of their Modus Operandi. No matter what dangers he had to cross to get it!

But the stronger beings around him could not yet sense any danger as for the survival of his own Clone and his path to victory…he had to give them a push.

"Can you really not sense it? Does your destiny tell you so little?"

WAA!

He spoke in a regal tone against a powerful being a stage away from achieving Reality, his words even causing the bored Empress to turn back with inquisitive eyes as Noah's words settled in the room, the sharp voice of this Empress actually resounding out soon after.

"Destiny…what does someone like you know about the hand that has steered things since the Olden Times? Do your achievements really make you think your destiny is comperabl-...!"

BZZZT!

The words of the Empress never finished as her gaze changed soon after, her crown giving off pulses of light as golden waves of destiny leaked from her! 

The cold eyes on the Ninth Firmament Royal Human also changed soon after as his eyes released beams of profound golden lights!

Noah's words of destiny caused them to actively discern just once, and their expressions changed soon after as they sensed something terrifying was about to bloom!
