2398 Of Light and Shadows! I
"It is merely the Apex Aeonic Lifeforms of a mere Inheritance barely Recorded across the Aeonic Annals of Extremity. Why would I ever show even an ounce of fear towards such beings?"
BOOM!
Shocking!
Indomitable!
This was the only word one could think of while watching the visage of the True Emperor of Quintessence who floated in the skies while 9 Apex Aeonic Lifeforms made their presence clear!
His words were astonishing as when Grand Primeval Silas heard them, his shadowy smile only became wider as his eyes radiated unbound darkness.
The visage of Roan beside him had a cold expression as with his identity as the Lernaean Representative, it was his duty to Discipline those of his Lineage!
So before anything else could occur, his voice emanated out.
"A descendent like you that has only just risen up may not know when and where to show fear…but such a time is now. Do not say anything else more foolish and forget whatever Orion has told you. Our Lineage now follows the Cult of Endless Shadows, and so do you. Fall in line and contribute to the elevation of Lernaeans, or make a futile struggle and find only darkness waiting for you."
…!
A grand violet haze wrapped around Roan as he spoke, where at the same time- his very body buzzed powerfully as he called forth his Bloodline Authority!
The authority as an Ancestral Lernaean whose blood covered the branch Lineages that rose in the 9 Dimensions and the Desolate Mausoleum.
And as the Apex Lernaean Lineage Emperor, this Authority was moreso magnified as it was one of the few things an Apex Aeonic Lifeform could utilize against juniors of his Lineage as a form of discipline without it breaking the unspoken rule of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms attacking lower Lifeforms!
For those of the same Bloodline, it was an irrefutable form of attack that they couldn't deny!
And before Noah's eyes…
[A Bloodline Authority with traces of compositions linked to a portion of the Bloodlines under you seeks to impose control!]
…!
His eyes shone sharply a crimson glow erupted around him, his gaze turning towards Roan with utmost coldness as a multicolored radiance shone around him.
[The Lineage of the Quintessential Kainos Emperor admonishes the poor authority targeting its composition!]
His body shone with a multicolored radiance as it wasn't affected in the least bit, the glow around him making him seem like an untouchable creature graced with unwavering brilliance!
"I may have been born in the Barren Lands, but my Lineage is not something that the likes of you can claim to be Ancestors of."
WAA!
His voice was grand as Roan looked towards him with a trace of shock.
Was he actually not of a branch of their Lineage?
Even while such a question rose, the voice of the True Emperor of Quintessence continued to emanate out.
"You know what I see when I look at you? Your name and your distinctions fall under my gaze."
Providence shone brightly as the Aeonic Annals of Providence remained branded in Noah's eyes- boundless streams of information flowing into him even if the vast majority was restricted!
"There are grand and glorious titles such as the Apex Lernaean Lineage Emperor Roan and Grand Primeval Roan, but there is also something like the Deposed Emperor Roan!"
WAA!
His visage was dominating as he actually floated towards the 9 Apex Aeonic Lifeforms, his figure coming ever closer to them as even though 8 of them cast massive shadows extending in the distance, his brilliance seemed to be covering the endless expanse behind him as he spoke freely towards Roan.
"A fake Emperor like you dares to try and impose their authority onto me? Onto my Lineage that far supersedes yours?! Stand the fuck down and know your place, O Deposed Emperor!"
BOOM!
A light of glory shone around him as he came to float not too far away from existences as pristine as Apex Aeonic Lifeforms!
Within Roan's eyes, incredulity and bubbling rage rose as when had anyone ever spoken to him like this?
Even other Apex Aeonic Lifeforms didn't ever speak to him in such a manner as who did this being think he was?
His expansive rage was rising to such an unimaginably high level that Roan even had the thought…would the cost of killing this being be too high for him to bear if he acted at this moment?
But before such a thought could be carried out, clapping could be heard as loud laughter from Grand Primeval Silas could be heard.
"Haha, what a unrestrained personality! You're something that would be a great fit with our Cult of Endless Shadows."
The Endless darkness around Silas became restrained as he stared at Noah from a distance. His hand had risen towards Roan as he made his intentions clear, the Deposed Emperor remaining silent with rising rage as the stares of Silas and Noah locked onto each other.
"The Unruly Descendant…Osmont, is it? I know your type."
"Oh?" Noah's gaze was frosty as his hands remained behind his back cooly while Silas nodded and continued.
"Yes. Geniuses who haven't really faced all that much adversity towards the Boundary Expansion Realm. Over the years, you've built up your confidence as you overcame one weak enemy after another, giving you a fake sense of invincibility as you've never really been knocked down. Words will not work on you as you will only continue to express rudeness and apathy. No…the only thing that will work on you is a very clear demonstration of power. For you to be shown that the Havens are vast. For you to be shown that you aren't the only Genius out there. That there are other Unequaled Reverend Emperors out there just as powerful if not more powerful than you. Mutated Souls with even more unique qualities. What you need…is to be shown for the first time in your life that you are not special. You need to be knocked down."
…!
The expansive Shadow that was restrained behind him began to expand again, this time showing countless figures within it that released terrifying waves of power!
