Chapter 2528 The Curtains Draw Close! I
2528 The Curtains Draw Close! I
[[..."You are a Demon that Elder Ahpuch will destroy with surety. A demon that no Inheritance will leave alive! You-GOH!"
Vladic's Will and Soul were utterly torn as even his raspy voice couldn't be heard, and from his visage impaled by bones…a verdant black smoke bloomed and covered everything about him as a blazing authority of death began to rise from it!]]
The first page closed as the dazzling scenes Noah saw faded, the massive golden book before him beginning to flip towards another page.
His manifested Will smiled while gazing at the ancient book before him as he felt like a privileged reader who was gazing upon a history that had yet to even occur!
"A Demon, huh?"
He thought of the words Commander Vladic was saying before he was undoubtedly liberated by his doing as Alexander King.
He thought of the shocking descriptions of lifeless bodies rising again to have at the very minimum 1 Apex Aeonic Value!
It seemed the Absolute Seed of Extremity he was forming currently…was not something to be scoffed at as its capabilities were something to utterly dread.
He wasn't able to tell of the whole situation of the Apex War of Annihilation from the one Unrecorded History, but he could affirm that the Commander of the Noblesse Lineage would die even before the war was over as there was one name for him to pay attention to!
Ahpuch!
Even with the dreadful power Alexander King showed, Vladic still spoke with his fear that such a being could stop him?
Before Noah could ponder even more, the book before him had opened to another golden page as radiant halcyon runic words began to be etched.
The ability of Adumbrative Viewpoint would show a random number of Histories with every cast as Noah would attain an unknown amount of information each time.
And at the second Unrecorded History seemed to be especially radiant as another scene bloomed before him.
[[...Venous and vessel like structures could be seen snaking out for light years, the figures of a group of Scions passing across the top of such structures as their voices could be heard in the distance.
"Word is that fewer and fewer Golden and Obsidian Extremity Panaceas can be found. It's astounding when most of us were able to attain at least a Golden Extremity Panaceas, the number far exceeding what was recorded in previous Initiation Steps of Extremity Sanctification."
Their robes held a dazzling pink plum petal to signify their Inheritance as they moved further away, their voices still resonant.
"It also means the last Extremity Panacea should soon be appearing. Another Crimson Extremity Panacea…!"
Their voices held fervor as they moved away, not noticing that below them, amidst the intersecting venous structures extending in the distance…there was a calm aura that floated above a pool of obsidian liquid that held a thin dried out stalk at its very center.
No signs of life or even the powerful Leviathans of Dissolution were present as this being held a shining horn on her forehead, her hair filled with streaks of crimson and now, even more golden streaks of light as the temperature around her constantly fluctuated.
It was Ayame of Infinite Extremity!
While others guessed and moved haphazardly, she came to this location after much deliberation.
Her exceedingly beautiful face carried traces of hesitation as she waved her hands to show a few twirling Golden and Obsidian Extremity Panaceas, but her gaze remained on the area ahead as she waited.
She was unlike the others. She could peer into the Aeonic Annals of Extremity as while others wondered when the Last Extremity Panacea would come, she had arrived at where it should bloom!
She…had glimpsed at something that had yet to even be recorded.
It cost her a lot to do this before undergoing Apexification as the only way she even had a chance of doing so was due to nothing other than her Origins.
Infinite Extremity.
There were many Inheritances and the Seven Clans out there- each had their own grandiose names.
Infinite Extremity…they were not simply a grandiose name. They lived up to it!]]
"Oh?"
The second scene Noah was shown held fantastical implications for Ayame that Noah had first come across during the scuffle with the Scions of the Genesis Institute of Extremity.
Infinite Extremity.
He was given a glimpse that some factions held deep history and power that he needed to carefully observe and understand!
And just as the Unrecorded History involving Ayame disappeared, the pages fluttered as another began.
It was all still under a single cast as all of it only showed the beginnings of Noah deeply understanding how reality would unfold in the coming future- where he would be able to understand his enemies in a way even they didn't understand themselves!
And just like this, time flowed.
—
Within the Aeonic Haven of Penumbra.
Unlike Dissolution, Penumbra shared a trait with other Havens that had already undergone Extremity Sanctification as it was exceedingly vast, with its explored lands under the dominance of many different factions.
The Cult of Endless Shadows had their hegemony centralized in a small segment within the southern region of Penumbra, and yet even this small segment had a wondrous array of Planes of Existence stretched out artificially in its own preset Planar System!
Noah had only now begun to near it while following Hyperversal Extremity Gabriella and Grand Primeval Elder Silas in tow as the blinding shadowy lights in the distance began to reveal more of this world of tantalizing darkness and shadows.
At such a time, the vibrant visage of the Hyperversal Extremity in front of them turned around while speaking calmly.
"Your soul was tense this whole time until just moments ago. Whatever could have happened to cause your reservations against a Hyperversal Extremity to lessen even further?"
Hyperversal Extremity Gabriella asked with a smile as she found Noah's demeanor completely unique.
Silas retained a respectful expression prior to this being while having already sent Noah multiple messages to show the utmost respect towards her- her standing being something not many in the whole of the Cult of Endless Shadows could match!
Yet Noah freely gazed back at her while his will took in the grandness prior to him, his words ringing out resonantly.
"What happened? A body of mine just watched a Hyperversal Extremity have half of their Recorded History erased from existence. It made me comprehend even the Esteemed Hyperversal Extremities aren't all that in the face of true power."
…!
News hadn't yet fully spread as with the threat from the Hyperversal Extremity of Devouring, they were bound to.
The upper echelons of the Cult of Endless Shadows would be among the first to hear of the stunning event that had just occurred in the Haven of Dissolution, Elder Silas turning ashen at Noah's words and about to turn towards Hyperversal Extremity Gabriella to apologize when this existence actually laughed while her deep eyes locked onto Noah with even more scrutiny!
[You're truly living up to your name when you act like this…and you're making my anticipations all that much higher for you. Very well, enter our Cult of Endless Shadows and let us see more of you- we shall also deliberate when you can obtain the Shadow Sword, or if you are even qualified to begin with!]
…!
A long expanse of shadows were cast behind her.
With her words, it seemed like the gates into the Cult of Endless Shadows truly opened at this juncture!
