Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Two gazes met as they felt vastly different emotions.

Two gazes from beings that looked extremely alike, one simply being older than the other as Mother and Daughter had the same dazzling silver hair and glazed eyes that illuminated countless mirrors!

"Mother."

Katelyn called out calmly as the Dimensional Ruler before her had initially lost her regality and composure to show a tinge of guilt, but even this guilt was buried away soon after as the majestic image of a Ruler returned.

From the guilt hidden in her eyes, surprise actually came in as this Ruler realized the waves of power that her daughter gave off.

<Haven? How did you achieve this when you were just at…>

A happy surprise rose in her eyes as this Ruler who was known as Luna landed on the balcony to grasp Katelyn's face in her own hands.

She then nodded as the grandeur of a Ruler fully erupted from her.

<Good, you've done well.>

While gazing into Katelyn's eyes, the Dimensional Ruler Luna implied many hidden things with her gaze alone as she continued.

<I may not have done much for you in the past, but I can do one thing today. Things are rapidly changing as the Mirror Dimension will be no more…along with everything else in these Barren Lands. You will join me among the privileged few that can escape from here before that happens. Away from these Barren Lands and onto regions we cannot even fathom.>

WAA!

Her words were straight and without any leeway as Katelyn took her mother's hands off her face and bottled up many emotions while voicing out calmly.

"That's what you say to me? After all these years?"

<There is time for other things later. We have to move quickly and prepare.>

"..."

Yet the reply to her words was a cold one as Dimensional Ruler Luna seemed to have too many thoughts surging in her mind, the weight of the whole dimension seemingly on her shoulders!

Katelyn sighed lightly while keeping everything in, wiping away a barely formed tear in her eyes as she spoke while turning to gaze towards Noah's visage that was watching all of this with a smile!

"Fine, but wherever I go, he goes. You left your partner after you regained your memories all those years ago…I will not be leaving mine."

…!

Her words were staunch and also without leeway as Dimensional Ruler Luna finally turned to focus on Noah.

Her sharp silver eyes were extremely cold as tendrils of desegregated destiny and Providence swirled, Luna not knowing this being was the one who was killing Rulers left and right in the Dimensional Conclave!

Her Aura Potency descended on him as she harrumphed, turning to see her daughter's unlovable face as she replied coldly.

<Fine. Be ready to move when I call on you.>

A blazing silver light erupted around her after she finished these words as she disappeared.

Disappeared while not knowing she had just agreed to the invitation of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor to be among those who would Ascend the Pylon of Ascension before Cataclysm descended!

—

In the Quantum Dimension.

Vast regions of this stellar plane still had cataclysmic ruptures of NULLITY burning throughout- the deathly gray area contracting and expanding at a low pace as those truly close to nature could even hear a constant low howl of pain that was emanating from the very source of the Quantum Dimension.

It was the Source of a Dimension crying on as it headed towards Cataclysm, with its own inhabitants and strongest beings aiding in this as it could do nothing.

It was a suffocating atmosphere to feel, but one area remained vibrant and full of grandeur.

It was the radiant hourglass shaped Pylon of Ascension that currently had multiple Ancestral Descendants guarding it!

True Empress Katya was in her Imperial Karmic Scarab form as she floated before the Pylon with grandiosity, her gaze bright as she was watching this unique structure begin to illuminate.

Just like it had illuminated when she had come down!

She had sent word back.

And her assessment was answered.

The Ancestors placed a great deal of attention on the subject of the Barren Lands as if things didn't go the way they expected, they would be dealt a terrifying blow that would greatly weaken their power.

So for such an important matter, they had to make sure their Will was carried out successfully as after sending Katya, the next set of beings they sent would be the determinant to how everything would unfold.

Those coming down right now would be the force that the Ancestors managed to spare after draining all other sources of avenues and pulling their Legions back into defensive positions for the next few weeks or months while the situation with the Barren Lands was resolved!

Those coming down would be the force to make sure that the Will of the Ancestors was carried out with 100% Chance of success.

HUUUM!

Droning sounds of singularities echoed as the light from the Pylon of Ascension turned blinding, figures beginning to materialize from it at their appearance caused the fabric of Reality to churn and turn wild.

The radiant visage of 24 beings bloomed first.

Adorned in even more pristine and refined NULLITY Bone Armaments than Katya and her squadron, Ancestral Descendants wielding smooth and nearly identical blades on their waists appeared with glory.

Circular structures rotated around them as well, Katya's eyes shining brightly as she had heard of the man who was leading these 24 beings before her- a man who wasn't a True Emperor, and yet when he put himself against multiple True Emperors of past Ages who had ascended- he could not be knocked down!

It was an existence known by a single name.

<Theseus…>

Katya unconsciously called out in shock as she didn't think this would be among the beings sent down.

But this wasn't all!

After these 24 figures appeared…

SHIIING!

The Pylon of Ascension shone even brighter as 48 more glows of incandescent light materialized.

SHIIING!

Another flash of light as 96 new glows of light materialized into more Ancestral Descendants soon after!

It was a shocking display of power to see as Katya's eyes could not hide their immense surprise, her Heart trembling as she was reminded of the power that had made her docile even after she had attained the True Throne of Karma.

It was the power of the Ancestors.

It displayed itself fully right now as a force that was enough to even cause her to be somber came down!
