2404 Armaments of Extremity! I
The situation should've been something that anyone could see was nearly unsalvageable.
Irrevocable words had been exchanged between the two sides as from forceful methods to a dialogue…one could say that what Silas was trying to achieve was an impossibility!
So then…why was his hand outstretched towards the True Emperor of Quintessence?
It was because even in this situation, Grand Primeval Silas still had something that gave him a level of certainty and confidence.
"Forget what has occurred? Let the Cult of Endless Shadows be my supporter? What can you offer me when at this very moment, you are taking what is mine?"
The glorious voice of the True Emperor of Quintessence rang out as Silas remained calm.
He didn't address Noah's words directly as he instead chose another subject entirely, his figure floating closer towards the golden throne surrounded on all sides by extremely pure Sources of Extremity!
"The Cult of Endless Shadows is nearly at the level of being recognized as an Aeonic Inheritance of Extremity, do you know why this is so?"
The question wasn't an expected one Noah raised his brows with a devilish smile, his words emanating out lazily as if his time was being wasted.
"Enlighten me."
"..."
The disrespect in his tone was clear as Grand Primeval Silas ignored it and replied- the figure of Roan finding this all the more incredulous from the back as he gritted his teeth while watching closely.
"For the distinction of an Aeonic Inheritance of Extremity, one of the more straightforward ways of recognition is to have a certain number of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms, and a certain number of members to reach Extremity. The Cult of Endless Shadows…has already met the condition of the Apex Aeonic Lifeforms as at this moment, we only await the successful news of a Pinnacle Primeval Elder reaching Extremity. We achieved all of this within the last few tens of thousands of years due to a singular reason. I want to use that reason to incite you since I know that anything out of the ordinary…you will simply brush off and not even consider my offer."
"Oh?"
The beginnings of a Dynamis of Extremity.
A Mutated Entity.
Multiple Consummate Boundaries without a single Inheritance behind him!
Terrifying battle prowess that actually put some of the top ranks Haven Disciples of the Cult of Endless Shadows to shame!
The release of extremely pure Sources of Extremity that seemed over and above any other concepts of this same level.
All of these factors and more made Silas want Noah more and more, and he made his move at this moment to draw interest and open a different path with this being after their rocky start!
"A single thing is responsible for the rise in power of our Cult of Endless Shadows. Something that we have been able to utilize to birth dozens more Pinnacle Aeonic Lifeforms and spur the genius and unmatched few who were already at the peak of this stage to achieve Extremity."
WAA!
It was something that only the Elders and higher ups of the Cult of Endless Shadows knew of.
A single thing!
It alone was enough to take an Inheritance towards the distinction of an Aeonic Inheritance of Extremity in a few tens of thousand years!
Silas had a stern expression as he revealed exactly what this was.
"It is because our Esteemed Supremacy of Shadows was able to get a hold of One of the 81 Armaments of Extremity forged by the Extremity of Steel- the Shadow Sword!"
…!
One of the 81 Armaments of Extremity- the Shadow Sword!
"Have you heard of the Supremacy of Steel?" The billowing darkness behind Silas extended out far and wide as he asked in a low tone.
Noah's eyes were sharp as he gave a calm nod, traces of memories from Titus and others flowing in about a certain legend across the Havens of Extremity.
Of a being who was widely known as the Supremacy of Steel, and yet he had achieved Extremity in multiple other paths!
It was a being whose name was synonymous with the beginnings of the Havens of Extremity.
This being stayed true to his path of Steel as he forged 81 Armaments of Supremacy that contained the mysteries of Extremity of the multiple paths he followed.
The personality of this being was eccentric as he then scattered these Armaments across the Seven Aeonic Havens, with a single message echoing out from him to the masses.
Seek the Armaments, Attain Extremity!
A single message.
And a terrifying one that sent many Inheritances on chases over the countless years that passed as at this point in time, a majority of the Armaments of Supremacy were already in the hands of Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity.
For the Cult of Endless Shadows to have attained one of such Armaments…it was exactly where their confidence came from!
BZZZT!
Noah felt the Ten-Winged Providential Tiger begin to buzz as his own Source of Providence slowly began to seethe with slow, unknown waves. Was there…actually something to look at here?
He gazed calmly at the visage of Silas as he replied.
"I've heard a thing or two about the Supremacy of Steel."
"Good, then you know of the grandness of the Armaments of Extremity. In our Cult of Endless Shadows, it has only been passed in sequence across our Supremacy Shadows, Pinnacle Primeval Elders, and some Grand Primeval Elders as we have already strengthened our upper echelons. As soon as a Pinnacle Primeval Elder attains Extremity in the future to come, the time will come for us to fortify our Shadowlings as I…can advocate for you to be one of if not the first. This is my proposition to you. The support I was talking about. A glimpse…of Extremity."
…!
Silence reigned.
And a moment later.
"Interesting."
The Emperor atop the sandy gold throne leaned forward as his lips curved up devilishly.
"Since that is your proposal, let me tell you mine."
WAA!
"When you hear it, you will more than likely scoff in disbelief, become disappointed, and lament at how unreasonable I am. Another path that you can choose to take…is to take my proposal at face value and out of all odds, actually accept it."
…!
