Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Even as such a shocking phenomenon unfolded, Noah's eyes flashed with ingenuity in the midst of the surging blood storm as he continued to collect more of this unique liquid, this clone showing his advancement was not complete as the Golden wing behind him was still half formed!

Noah didn't show that he had attained everything as he began to pull his authority back into himself ever so slightly- this sticking to his guidelines of not being too wild.

It was also because his destiny had shown multiple fates rising up for the near future- paths that showed a new entrant with great significance was about to appear.

This was because as the Sacred Blood Sea became utterly tumultuous…the Sacred Ancestor holding it up began to shine with a cold golden light!

"Ah…!"

The masses of Royal Humans backed up in alarm at this as this should have been a corpse! Yet at this moment, a budding aura had begun to release from it as its eyelids…began to tremble.

They wavered up and down as the corpse of the Sacred Ancestor truly seemed like it was about to wake!

At such a juncture…

HOOOONG!

An illustrious and overbearing might suddenly washed down from the area above the Sacred Blood Sea.

An aura of immense authority and wonder as it carried with it an inviolable might that encompassed the Sacred Blood Sea below along with the Sacred Ancestor!

"Ah…" The eyes of the watching Royal Humans trembled as such an aura was something they were familiar with, their knees buckling below them as they paid their respects!

Those on the Expansive disk surrounding the Blood Sea, those on the Reality Trees around it…they all got on their knees as their wills gazed up to see the nonchalant figure of the Genuine LEGEND that was visiting this area of the Pure-Blooded Domain.

"Uncle Brightborn…" Emperor George and Empress Roseanne breathed sighs of relief as they saw the appearance of this being- a singular existence whose hands were pressing down at this moment as he had a calm smile on his face, but he utterly suppressed the raging storms as the Sacred Blood Sea calmed entirely too quickly!

The corpse of the Sacred Ancestor that seemed about to wake became calm again, all the fervor and wildness brought about from the figure of Alexander being suppressed instantly as this clone at the center of the crimson gold sea gazed up calmly.

Before his eyes was an expert of shocking power, and yet the visage of this being was unique as he appeared like a barely matured young man above 15 years of age! His hair shone with a devilish dark charm as his eyes were deep and ancient- being the only thing that showed his true Age.

This being had appeared out of nowhere to entirely suppress everything, Noah having recalled his own TABOO authority before he appeared as this LEGEND had no opposing force when he laid his authority down!

Now, he looked towards Noah's position while nodding with a smile, tapping down with his fingers as his voice actually resounded in Noah's ears.

"Let's talk."

BZZZT!

His single action of a tap of a finger caused a silver bubble to wrap around Noah, this bubble popping an instant later as he disappeared!

Something similar occurred on one of the Reality Trees as the figure of Genevieve also became wrapped up in a silver bubble and disappeared, the visage of the LEGEND doing the same and leaving behind the three other Future Candidate Rulers that looked on blankly and the masses of watching Royal Humans that were still kneeling.

The followers who were still on the Blood Sea that thought of themselves as geniuses also had blank looks on their faces, the visage of a true Protagonist becoming ingrained in their memories as they would never be able to forget it!

—

When Noah's will came to, he found himself standing on top of a long stellar river that stretched towards the horizon endlessly. Beside him, the figure of Empress Genevieve appeared as Noah adopted a light smile on his face.

"Empress."

He nodded as if everything was normal, his eyes soon coming to gaze in front of them as the unshakable figure of a young man appeared.

Brightborn.

A LEGEND of an Unknown Strata that when Noah gazed at him with his Eyes of the Kainos Emperor, nothing was shown as it was all question marks!

<Brightborn ????> :: Realm-????, Edicts-????, Destiny-????, Fortune-????...

Noah had designed the Eyes of the Kainos Emperor to give him something similar to the status panels of those he gazed at, but this LEGEND before his eyes couldn't be seen through unless Noah unleashed all of his TABOO authority and possibly went all out!

"Little Gen seems to have found a gem in the Celestial Vines."

The mesmerizing voice of this LEGEND echoed out as Noah nodded with a smile, but his head never bowed nor did he kneel like all others!

"I thank Esteemed LEGEND for the praise."

…!

He didn't ingratiate himself or bow down as Brightborn raised his brows at this and let out a light laugh.

"Your very Blood seems to scream of pride as you do not even pay respects to a LEGEND! Haha, I won't hold this against you as I was at the same place once…and you can now be considered one of us as after the results from the Sacred Blood Sea, you should be halfway to becoming an Arch-Royal Human?"

His eyes shone with a knowing light as Noah nodded, the form he currently adorned being that of a Pure Arch-Royal Human with half a golden wing! Brightborn smiled knowingly as he turned towards Genevieve and nodded.

"You've brought in a genius this time with the potential of an Adjudicator Commander and the power to back it up…are you sure you can keep him as your follower?"

…!

Genevieve was beside Noah as she acted with care around this 'Uncle Brightborn', letting out a smile as she gazed towards Noah's figure.

"I brought him here because I knew he was special. And also because someone of similar power to me…would be able to protect me all that much better!"

WAA!

Her eyes were sharp as they locked with Noah's, these two beings gazing at each other as if they could both see the thoughts of the other person and what they wanted to do!

"Mm, good. Alexander, is it?" The small figure of Brightborn walked closer to them on the endless stellar river he had brought them to, floating up to be on the same height as Noah- his visage even floating a bit further as he seemed to be looking down slightly.

"I stepped in the Sacred Blood Sea to prevent any problems for you as if you attained the full Arch-Royal Human Bloodline, you would have met the requirements to fight for the legacy and rulership of this region of the Pure Blooded Domains. But this…is a boon, as well as a curse as those you would be fighting against have LEGENDS within their Lineage as even with your talents, they might drown you in insignificant politics when your path can lie elsewhere!"

…!

The eyes of this LEGEND released a terrifying light as they locked onto Noah and continued.

"With your foundation and the fact that you can achieve refinement in three Physiques before becoming a LEGEND, Reality is all but guaranteed for you as depending on how you excel in the Firmaments of Ascendancy…your path could be illustrious in the future as some Primordial Factions will even seek you out to join them!"

WAA!

Bursts of unseen Destiny rose and fell in waves as Noah's mind was calm while listening to the words of a LEGEND.

A path was gradually forming in his mind as his Destiny showed a level of fortune waiting for him in terms of knowledge this time around.

"All talented Primordials are more often than not recruited by the factions of the Pure Reality with the allure of resources and treasures one can attain there, but I will advise you to remain with the Pure-Blooded Royal Human Bloodline simply because the LEGENDS remaining in this faction are few…which means all the many more resources that will be allocated to you in the future!"

His figure of a young being had begun to shine with an incandescent light as he spoke, his eyes shining with an endless river of a Reality as his visage laid down a wondrous authority- his true purpose in doing all this being revealed with the next set of words he spoke.

"I can smooth out this path for you and even let you know of the secrets of entering the stage of Reality, with the only thing I ask of you being that when you enter the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum in the next few days…you be mindful of a few things and bring back some resources directly to me. I will trade them with everything you will require to become a LEGEND."

…!

The Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.

Everything came back to this as within it- the most powerful beings in the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy would obtain the most things. Noah had just revealed himself to be capable of holding three Physiques as he now even possessed the Pure-Blooded Royal Human Bloodline through Baptism- going even further to be halfway towards possessing the Arch-Royal Human Bloodline that LEGENDS of this race attained!

'I am another card you want to play for this Unexplored Grotto Sanctum…'

Noah's mind buzzed with activity as his main body pulled upon the strings of destiny and fate, seeing that this being must have planted multiple cards to play for this unique domain many geniuses would soon enter.

A fantastical Grotto Sanctum that no established LEGENDS could influence and enter…so they instead had to send in powerful existences in the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy to claim treasures for them as they made deals behind the scene!
