Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The myriad of Primordial Adjudicators following them stayed back as the figures of Adjudicator Katelyn and the party of Empress Genevieve entered the White Outer Peninsula.

A mere mimic of a genuine Grotto Sanctum that a LEGEND had enacted- a land that was surrounded by hundreds of Realities as inside of it…boundless splendor could be seen.

Even though one could consider it a small sized False Grotto Sanctum, it was still a Domain that twisted and folded space as the sheer space itself within it was too extensive to wrap your head around!

Vast.

This was one of the renowned features of Grotto Sanctums as a single one could have space within it equivalent to hundreds of Realities.

SHAA!

Passing through the barrier, uniquely established rules wrapped around the bodies of Adjudicator Katelyn, and the Empress- the two of them carrying the highest recognized authority here as the established rules were extended to the other beings in their party…a spatial light wrapping all of them up and sending them to a certain location in the White Outer Peninsula!

If other beings with different authorities entered this false Grotto Sanctum, the established laws would recognize them and also teleport them to the areas that they were granted access to as for the recent entrants…they were instantly teleported to one of the core areas of this False Grotto Sanctum where true Royalty and distinguished Primordial Adjudicators were allowed.

The area inside was mesmerizing as their figures appeared above a Runic magic circle inscribed onto an expansive square like white slab where dozens of other teleportation magic circles could be seen!

Cylindrical golden pillars were situated on the left and right of this square as they shot upwards endlessly into a clear blue sky.

Yes- a sky! 

Not endless stellar space filled with Cosmos or universes, but a vast blue sky one couldn't see the ends of as it stretched across all directions.

This was one of the unique features of a Grotto Sanctum- where even a false one was designed to mimic this domain where much of its space was actually covered by paradisiacal land or bodies of water instead of stellar bodies as it was akin to one gargantuan world- a world where occasionally, rivers of Reality could be seen coursing through it as one could enter them to find endless stellar space within.

So Realities themselves would only be mere pockets of space that one could enter within a Grotto Sanctum!

The area that the four new entrants appeared in was extremely infinitesimal compared to the vastness of this space, with the golden cylindrical pillars leading towards a massive rainbow colored tree that shone of illusory Realities- this tree shooting up in an endless manner as on its branches, crystalline glass like castles could be seen.

The auras of countless existences in the Firmaments of Ascendancy could be felt as it was akin to bright twinkling fireflies showing off their light, with hundreds of auras of the Ninth Firmament existences also prevalent as once more…this place was merely a small corner of the White Outer Peninsula that was a false Grotto Sanctum built by a LEGEND!

But this wasn't all.

"Oh?"

Genevieve raised her head up as pervasive and all around them, they could feel a calm and oppressive aura that made itself known to all. An aura that far surpassed any others in the Firmaments of Ascendancy as it felt like an unshaken sea constantly pressing down over their wills that they couldn't overcome.

This…was the will of a LEGEND.

Katelyn saw the surprise in the eyes of Genevieve and Beatrix as the former even asked.

"This aura is…" 

"Uncle Brightborn happened to be over this time around, you should go pay your greetings after you get settled and meet with the Elders."

Katelyn replied with a light smile as she felt the familiarity of one of the false Grotto Sanctums she had spent a lot of her life in, momentarily letting go of the painful thoughts in her memory as her observatory eyes now captured more things.

Things like the fact that Genevieve and Beatrix felt surprise when the aura of a LEGEND pervasiveness crashed onto their souls, and yet the existence they brought…he actually gazed up towards this descending aura as his eyes sparkled with defiance and challenge!

'Who did little Gen bring…for them to be so boisterous as to have such a reaction against the will of a LEGEND?'

This was the thought that crossed through her mind as her eyes refocused on the one introduced as Alexander King.

Her gazed eyes were hiding many things as beneath the multicolored light, there was an illusory light of shattered mirrors within them as this granted Katelyn a unique sight that specifically saw things only someone of her origin could decipher!

Being born of a unique existences in the Mirror Dimension and the Bloodline of a LEGEND, Katelyn had many things that even LEGENDS envied.

One of them was <Mirror Vision>.

An ability that allowed her to see any interferences of the Mirror Dimension and recognize any other existences that had connections or Bloodlines stemming from such a dimension.

She had long ago seen that this Alexander King actually held a thin trace of a Bloodline tracing back to the Mirror Dimension- a trace that even LEGENDS would not be able to find even if they looked with their TABOO Nomological Edicts!

She was only able to gaze upon it due to holding a Lineage from the Mirror Dimension as this was a point that had caused her surprise while wondering why he would hide such a thing- but that was all.

It didn't draw her interest too much as even the fact that he was an Enlightened Peerless Alchemist…didn't make her give him a special treatment as while they were rare, such distinguished beings existed in the Pure Blooded Domains!

Some even tried to form connections with her in the past by bringing their hard forged Elixirs or Relics!

So none of this drew her attention, but his defiant light while under the will of a LEGEND did as from his eyes…Katelyn was able to see boundless confidence.

A light smile couldn't help but appear on her face as she could recall only a single other being that had such an expression when they faced the will of a LEGEND.

'Perhaps someone exceptional hiding themselves?'

Only a passing thought in her mind as she saw lines of attendants in the Seventh and Sixth Firmament of Ascendancy adorned in matching golden attire appear from the Reality Tree ahead of them and come to their sides while bowing.

"ADJUDICATOR! EMPRESS!"

OOOM!

Their respectful voices echoed out as for royalty like Genevieve and Katelyn, average Sixth and Seventh Firmament existences with abysmal Destinies being mere servants to them as Katelyn nodded with acknowledgment while turning towards Genevieve.

"After you freshen up, come to the Peninsula Observatory, that's where Uncle Brightborn is currently at."

She had spoken out and was about to move to her own matters when Genevieve's next words stopped her in her tracks.

"Oh, I have to pay a visit to the Bloodline Library first. Then I'll head to meet Uncle."

…!

The Bloodline Library!

A location that could be accessed from any Peninsula across the Pure Blooded Domains where Cardinal Royal Humans controlled- one that contained large amounts of techniques and books that taught of unique ways to manipulate essence to unleash devastating skills…and also the vault that contained other techniques like the Runic Ecritures of Modus Operandi under the Authority of their Bloodline!

Why would Genevieve wish to visit such a place as the first thing after her return?

The starry mirror-like glazed eyes of Katelyn glimmered as a calm smile began to curve within them. She had been swamped with too many thoughts recently that she needed something to take her mind off other matters.

Her interest was piqued, her unique will focusing on Genevieve and the actions of her party!
