Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The visage of a Kun Peng was that of utmost glory.

It seemed untouched and unblemished as at this moment, an existence sought to taint it and descend onto new lands through it!

But the regal will of a Kun Peng would not allow this.

Especially the will of a great genius as even though it was going against a Dimensional Hellion Ruler, Valdez was unfettered!

<You fool…this is the same purpose you wished for just through different means, why reject it so much?>

The languid feminine voice rang out once more in Valdez's mind as it held a trace of surprise at this being's resiliency.

"Whatever deals my Father made are not mine. I will not lose myself and my sanity to a being whose Will I do not understand…leave me!"

BOOM

The Liquified soul of Valdez trembled and surged with the authority of rejection as it even began to destabilize, with the Will of Valdez choosing to rather perish than be taken over!

He was someone astounding and a true genius as he had broken the limits of his Body and Soul, and yet he now put them on a path of destruction in order to not let this entity use him for his own gains.

CRACK! CRACK!

Fissures and cracks permeated across the body of the Kun Peng as the state of Valdez deteriorated extremely quickly, the unknown will within him raising its brows in surprise once more as this was an unexpected variable.

This genius Kun Peng had bathed in the authority of the EMPYRAL appendage carrying her Will for years as he shouldn't have been able to reject her descent, and yet his very Blood and Soul burned as he would rather choose a path of destruction than be reigned in!

Time was running out.

If she could not establish herself now, she would forever lose a foothold with this Vessel.

<This is why I disliked you Kun Pengs so much.>

…!

<Always talking of what is right and honor like the Avalonian fools, and yet without the strength to back it…it is why you will never break out of these Barren Lands.>

BOOM!

The will surging within Valdez unfurled with a light of tyranny as it was not something that the wishes of a single genius could reign in.

<Perish if you wish to and miss out on grand power. Just like your father, a coward to the very end as what he couldn't handle- he just passed down to his son. No wonder you all lost to a single being's machinations all those years ago.>.

…!

Painful words that caused Valdez's heart to tear rang out as his Kun Peng form roared out, the visage of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler actually unfusing from him as this action caused his entire back to split open as if his whole body was being splintered apart!

The menacing horns of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler released rays of deadly light as its detached crimson gold eyes came to land on the existences freely moving within its domains.

It felt the essence of Avalon it hated as well as other Dimensional Essenced that shouldn't be clumped together all at once, but its eyes focused on the cause of her early awakening as it was none other than the visage of a being who carried two pulsing weapons.

The being that actually carried the Will that she mimicked to make tools of a Kun Peng Lineage!

The Will only glanced at the calm eyes of this being who did nothing with a light of coldness as its gaze went around it next.

On the masses of millions of LEGENDS.

On the Beta Stratas with Ancient Bloodlines slowly coming to at this moment!

Since the rejection of this Kun Peng Prince was too strong as it could affect her descent if she continued any further, she would simply find another Vessel to do so.

A vessel that unlike the rigid mind of the current one she occupied- it could be melded to her wishes and easily reigned in.

There were just a few conditions for the Bloodline to fit.

It had to be of the Ancient Races, hold a high level of purity, and stem from the Olden Times as her authority was most powerful with these sources!

Purity!

This was extremely crucial as the Blood of a Dimensional Hellion Ruler was extremely special, and the Blood of this particular Will was even more so.

BZZT!

In her eyes, a golden light pulsed with strength as destiny flashed, the understanding and usage of such a concept to this Will being far and above many existences as she soon found a potential Vessel that fit her conditions.

Her gaze went to the back of the ranks of the Legions of Ancient Races as there, the singular figure of a Ninth Firmament existence with an extremely pure Ancient Bloodline could be seen struggling to wake in her domain!

<Mmm, you should do.>

BOOOM!

The will erupted out from Valdez as it nearly shattered the body of this being, the golden EMPYRAL appendage shockingly becoming ripped apart from the body of this massive Legion Commander as it flew backwards!

The surging will of the Dimensional Hellion Ruler reached its target first as it descended into the unsuspecting mind of none other than Genevieve, spending a microsecond within it as it learned many things.

Then, its voice boomed out in her soul.

<Child, do you wish to gain the power to eradicate that Chosen Emperor?>

...!

A scene much similar to Valdez played out again where a mass of crimson gold light sucked in the Will of the visage of Genevieve- the maddening light of authority descending onto her soul unknowingly as she was roused and came to.

<Days ago he was your match, today he can kill you with a flick of his fingers. Will you perish to him or take my strength and overcome him? Will you let me in?>

WAA!

Waves of authority and Essence smashed into Genevieve's mind as she was under great influence, yet her visage was still glorious as she retained her mind while ascertaining everything, her heart still greatly under the influence as the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and ask as she thought about the will trying to use her and the insane and unbelievable strength of Alexander King!

"Just...who are you? What is your identity?"

Genevieve wanted power.

To survive this ordeal against an enemy she had pitted herself against, she very badly needed power!

She just wanted to know who...would be using her like this after tackling her greatest weakness.

<Oh, sweet Child, I am your hopes and dreams. Let me in, and you shall know everything about me.>

HOOOONG!

Destiny weaved madly as a maddening light of power and tyranny echoed out!

The small body of Genevieve began to tremble as from the distance, an EMPYRAL Appendage appeared and smashed onto her body- the enormous light of the Thousand-Armed Monumental Defiler sinking into her as she began to be bathed by a shocking crimson gold light.

Her dark hair fluttered as crimson gold horns began to sprout from her head, her eyes slowly gaining a consciousness that wasn't fully her own as this being had given the permission with her very soul.

She had allowed a terrifying entity to settle in!

And now, this entity awoke with coldness and power as a devilish smile began to bloom on Genevieve's lips.

The condition of acceptance that she had put forth was completed as the will of the entity moved Genevieve's lips like her own.

<Child, I am known as the Dimensional Deceiver. The Defiler of Souls, The Blood Empress...and the Daughter of Hatred. I am...Lillith.>

...!

BOOOM!
