Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Extremity.

For some, it was a concept that was as far as their wildest dreams, while for others…it was but a certainty.

Noah was one of the few beings who inherently knew that for them, Extremity was a certainty. It was only a matter of when!

Erikson was another such being.

Ayame was one. Atlas was another!

There were a myriad more hidden across the Aeonic Annals of Extremity as they bid their time and worked away from the spotlight, with Hidden Inheritances that didn't involve themselves with the outside matters and only focused on Extremity.

There were Scions of destroyed and long-forgotten Clans carrying the last vestiges of their inheritance on their shoulders as they tried to re-elevate their people to their past heights.

There were many of them…but none were like Noah!

BOOOM!

His main body buzzed with such a stupendous level of glory that the figure of Xiaomi that he was discussing Extremity with under him felt an influx of torrential waves of pure Authority- some of this being Helios and the newly obtained Boundary of Foundation as in addition to this, the streams of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority within Noah were dancing wildly!

They seemed to resonate with the trace amounts of Vitalis Hyperversal Authority with Xiaomi's body who had attained the Quintessential Hyperversal Emperor Lineage as with such a catalyst…

The crimson light of Ruin around her body flourished like a blooming rosebud as her pupils became crimson Singularities of Chaos.

Within her body, the dense authorities of Chaos that were at the 16th Boundary Layer pulsed as from among them, Ruin took a step forward.

It blazed with ever-increasing brilliance and change as within Xiaomi's Aspects of Existence, the 17th Boundary Layer of Ruin was born!

Noah's eyes were luminous as bathed with the light of Quintessence, they could see every flow of authority within Xiaomi.

He saw the newly elevated authority of the 17th Boundary Layer of Ruin.

He saw…and then he pulled on it through their current connection as he breathed a Quintessential Breath.

And the authority of a newly risen 17th Boundary Layer of Ruin flowed into his body.

He took a step towards this door!

And he was ready to smash it down with a myriad of means as Xiaomi was one, and then there were his clones in the Havens of Genesis and Helios!

In the Infinite Oni Haven, Noah's body was akin to being the center of a spinning Abyssal singularity that devoured everything as seas of pure Helios Authority were flowing into him

Ayame was left far behind him with her eyes buzzing with disbelief as somehow, Noah had floated close to the Hyperversal Bow of Helios.

He withstood its pressure like it was nothing and appeared right in front of the pulsing Bow.

Touching it before attaining Extremity would scorch the records of average Apex Aeonic Lifeforms!

And yet at this moment…Noah's hand moved forward to at the very least come in contact with the scorching object that was already making his skin and skin tingle!

At the same time, under the visage of Erikson who shook his head while whispering 'Monster' under his breath with a light of competitiveness in his eyes, Noah also seamlessly traversed the seas of neon purple light to arrive at the Iron Heart.

His Foundation was already far exceeding even unique Apex Aeonic Lifeforms as the essence of Foundation hammering down and refining his body only made him stronger the closer he was.

And so he came close to it as his clone here also reached out to come in contact with this glorious full body armor.

Separated across reality, different parts of him coalesced with the same intent and goal at the same time as simultaneously, his two clones exceeded the terrifying pressure given off by two Armaments of Extremity and came in contact with them!

…!

'Hoo…'

His soul took a steady breath.

He felt the hard and indestructible metal of the Iron Heart.

He felt the unfinished product that was the Hyperversal Bow of Helios.

He only came in contact with them, and yet he could feel the intense and interminable Pure Hyperversal Extremity Authority.

Vast seas of it surged into his body as this was his goal!

He felt how it was right before his grasp, and also so far away.

His heart thrummed in resonance as Foundation and Helios were taken in and cycled!

Simultaneously, Noah took a Quintessential Breath to experience a Boundary Layer he had yet to achieve from Xiaomi.

BZZT!

His body vibrated like a blooming celestial treasure as crimson gold light of Helios and the neon purple of Foundation built up in such a shocking level of concentration in his Aspects of Existence that with the sheer quantity and quality of these authorities paired with the burrowed authority of Ruin from Xiaomi…

CRACK!

A door was shattered.

Noah's heart was bright as his eyes radiated wonder when they watched the prompts arrive while his body further exploded with even grander waves of power!

[The 17th Boundary Layer of Foundation has been attained!]

[The 17th Boundary Layer of Helios has been attained!]

Ever so silently since the burst of the Boundary Layers of Helios and Foundation, Noah had already placed them in his Extremity Meridians.

Them taking the step to the 17th Boundary Layer meant that Quintessence, Infinity, Dissolution, Loot, Manadynamics, and many others also took this step along with them!

His Quintessential Hyperversal Extremity Meridians deemed it so.

And due to this, his Quintessential Hyperversal Soul Values and all other Values began exploding upwards!

Austere waves of information emerged as the profound Layers of 81 Boundaries unveiled themselves before Noah.

Some granted Tens of Thousands of Hyperversal Values.

The 17th Boundary Layer of Blood alone granted an increase of 150,000 Quintessential Hyperversal Values!

The information of the 17th Boundary Layer of Dissolution, Helios, Foundation, and Infinity were just as astonishing if not more, but none of them compared to the waves of information that thundered in Noah's mind.

Information on Quintessence!

Its 17th Boundary Layer was so vast that its description was divided into two parts!
