Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse



It took every ounce of their power.

Every single ounce to control themselves and make sure that they did not have any outbursts as Reverend Emperor Osaka commanded.

But some had it much harder than others as Elder Ancestor Rodwig clenched his fists.

He thought of his Son sent as one of the Leaders in charge of overseeing the smoothness of the Cataclysm of the Barren Lands as he connected the dots with his death!

Yet he held it in.

Because the being before them was of the same source as them as he had enacted a Consummate Boundary! His feelings…were superseded by his duty to his bloodline as he didn't utter a word.

He only raised his head to lock his eyes onto the existence that a unique Seer of their Lineage had asked for the calming of his anger as she thought of a pathway of reconciliation.

Obtaining a Consummate Boundary was that important!

And his reply to such a question…

<Reconciliation, huh?> He tapped on the golden throne he sat on as his gaze went from Osaka to the True Emperor of Light, his voice continuing.

<There is but a simple path of reconciliation between me and those who decreed my death not too long ago…the leaders of the Ancestral Lernaean Lineage are weak and ineffective as they make such choices as to destroy their own homes, so I simply need to sit above them to make sure such organisms do not have a say in the future.>

…!

His words seemingly brought all of the spacetime continuum to a halt.

An eerie silence descended as the Elder Ancestors confirmed whether they heard correctly!

And after a nanosecond…HOONG!

Waves of Wills erupted and buzzed with incredulity!

This being before them…actually dared to say such things?

For him to depose those leading the Ancestral Lernaean Lineage due to the verdict of destruction of the Barren Lands?!

Many Elder Ancestors wanted to erupt with their own words as before they could do this, even more shocking words came down that caused them to question their current reality.

It was five words that actually stemmed from Reverend Emperor Osaka as her blindfold released eye-catching waves of radiance.

<It's not an impossibility.>

…!

BOOOM!

Utterly shocking words reverberated out.

<...>

Words that were very quickly followed with a buzzing rebuttal of Wills from the Elder Ancestors behind, but the True Emperor of Light blazed with a shocking radiance that blinded everyone behind him as he bellowed out!

<Quiet!>

WAA!

Silence descended.

Time slowed as every second seemed infinitely precious.

Light's body shone with power as he stared at Osaka gravely.

He was someone of great standing and power as he oversaw the workings of a Cluster of nearby Sacrariums near the border between their Lineage and the Qusarians.

He was one of the very few that were even granted the authority to contact the Apex Aeonic Lifeforms of the Ancestral Lerneans Lineage!

He…wanted to hear exactly where Reverend Emperor Osaka was going with a statement that actually agreed with words of rebellion!

And her words continued to be just as explosive.

<Power is ultimately what decided the path we took in the past. No matter the votes cast, word came from our Apex Aeonic Lifeforms to simply be rid of the Natural Laws if they're going to bind themselves to us again. So long as you can exceed our power and the power of the Ancestral Lernaean Apex Aeonic Lifeforms, there will be no opposition to electing you the Aeonic Lernaean Lineage Emperor.>

…!

<This…!>

BOOOM!

The mouths of most of the Elder Ancestors were agape.

<Preposterous!>

Many could not control themselves any longer as their voices erupted out.

<Rebellion!>

<Emperor Osaka!>

<Such words have immeasurable consequences!>

Booms and rebuttals bellowed out from all around as once more, the True Emperor of Light released a raging blinding radiance while turning around to lock his gaze onto all the Elder Ancestors here.

<The next person to voice their opinions will be stripped of their positions and lose their seat!>

…!

A terrifying air of power reverberated out as silence descended again.

The cold eyes of the True Emperor of Light filled with radiance locked onto all Elder Ancestors behind him before he turned around and stepped forward.

A single step took him onto the golden platform as he turned to face Reverend Emperor Osaka calmly.

He looked at her eye-catching blindfolded face as he recalled countless instances in the past billions of years where she and other Seers had led them towards victory and treasures.

He had never rejected her words before.

But what she uttered now…

She spoke of things that would not normally ever be talked about!

She spoke of the authority of the Aeonic Lernaean Lineage Emperor!

A personage so far away and so important that even Light dared to not have any designs on such a being.

Only endless respect!

And now…he measured all of this with the nature and weight of a Seer that was more often than not right on most things!

He paused in what move he should make, but in this silence, boisterous laughter erupted out as the True Emperor of Quintessence upon the golden throne seemed to enjoy the unfolding show, his visage rising from the vibrant throne.

Haki began to surge and coagulate around him like a multicolored shawl, the potent aura of the Consummate Boundary of Quintessence erupting out fully and pressing upon everything as he spoke with a diabolical smile.

<Power, power, and more power. I've heard a lot and experienced a lot more with this concept recently. After all, there is only one reason you lot are standing before me right now. Not because you suddenly came to your senses that the Cataclysm of the Barren Lands and killing me and all others within it was wrong, but because I have a Consummate Boundary that you now desire to leech off of. To get that, you would bow your head and seek reconciliation. You're right though…with enough power, I can depose the Kings and Emperors overseeing the Ancestral Lernaean Lineage. But I can do that myself just fine. I truly do not see what there is to gain from a so called reconciliation with the weakest Lineage in the Aeonic Haven of Dissolution!>

WAA!
