2407 An Oath II
"I accept."
BZZT!
A tendril of pure Extremity cascaded down and floated about Noah's head at this moment, the voice from above continuing as this time, it was directed towards Silas.
"If the other party in this Oath achieves everything promised within the next 10 years, you have to pledge fealty and bind your soul to him as he keeps everything he is about to attain, do you accept."
And without a delay, along with a smile on his face...
"I accept."
Silas spoke freely.
A pure unseen cluster of Extremity appeared above him as well, sinking down and branding itself into a Rune within the depths of his soul that read grandly as...[Oath]!
Something similar appeared within Noah's soul as the majestic voice finished things off.
"An Oath has been made under the watch of Extremity. Should any party renege on it, their very Aspects of Existence shall fall under the control of Extremity."
Not death.
Control!
This was the price to pay as one's very soul would have its Will taken away!
Yet both sides that had made this Oath were fearless as Noah simply nodded while Silas cupped his hands respectfully towards the skies where the veiled face had already begun to disappear.
"I thank the Extremity Adjudicator for their leniency."
There were multiple points today where Silas was nearly out of line with his interference against lower life forms, but he wasn't put down or denied the Oath because of it as he knew to give respect to a being that exceeded the most powerful beings who reached Extremity even in Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity!
For them to take on the title of an Adjudicator of a whole Haven...their power was something that even his whole Cult of Endless Shadows couldn't compare to.
When every trace of the overbearing grandeur of Extremity disappeared, Silas had a brilliant smile etched on his face as he nodded towards Noah.
"I will pull back the Primeval Shadow Elders from the Lernaean Domains. Do with them as you see fit for now as in a short period of time, you will likely be giving them back to me!"
...!
His voice was resonant as this time since there was no veiled shadow or aura of Extremity blocking things off, his words were able to be heard by the visage of another existence who was also here.
The Deposed Emperor Roan. The newly ordained Grand Primeval Shadow Elder!
He heard the incredulous words spout out from Silas as his abrupt reply reverberated out.
"What?!"
The eruption of this single word caused Silas and Noah to gaze towards Roan as Silas' eyes lit up as if he had forgotten, his figure floating towards Roan while speaking out in a somewhat apologetic tone.
"Fellow Grand Primeval Roan, it seems the time has come to make your first sacrifice for the Cult of Endless Shadows. You can keep your title since you were the one to get the ball rolling, but you will have to lose your standing as the Lernaean Representative and Emperor..."
...!
As he spoke, Silas also turned around towards Noah while questioning.
"This works for you, right? You can take on the distinction of the Lernaean Lineage Emperor since I promised you the whole Lineage for now. I shall call the other Apex Aeonic Lifeforms to affirm this vote."
Words that Roan couldn't even imagine were being uttered as he was entirely flabbergasted, trying to grasp what just happened as an immense foreboding sensation came down!
---
In the Infinite Reality.
Surging waves of essence rotated madly in the surroundings as from 9 Minor Planes of Existence and one Major Plane, the addition of dozens of Planes was occurring in rapid succession as profound and unimaginable changes occurred every nanosecond!
In such an environment, Orion and Aurelia kept the milky white gold portals active as they continued to feel Noah's clones actively move across the Havens of Extremity through the vortices of the coordinates they set.
At the same time, their Wills marveled at their surroundings as aside from the Initial Planes of Existence they had seen when they first arrived here, the area they were in that should have been close to the external barrier of this plane was now only a small portion of this- the barrier pushed far back behind them as they could see radiant Planes of Existence being structured and formed behind them!
And the 9 Dimensions sitting below an expanse of stellar and massive Cosmos were rapidly expanding with no end as the 9 Dimensions truly could not be designated as Minor Planes anymore.
In the midst of such a marvel and transformation, the voice of none other than the master of the Infinite Plane echoed out from all around.
"You all can head back into the Lernaean Apex Aeonic Domain for a vote. I've made an Oath of Extremity with the Grand Primeval Shadow Elder of the Cult of Endless Shadows."
"What?!" Orion's expression changed greatly as before he could form any assumptions, Noah's voice continued!
"The Cult of Endless Shadows shall leave the Lernaean Lineage alone as the Grand Primeval Silas and I came to an agreement...a gamble that was mediated by the Extremity Adjudicator of Dissolution!"
WAA!
Incredulous words emanated out as Genesis and Aurelia's expressions became stern, their souls buzzing as they realized they truly didn't understand the being they had just come across.
In such a short period of time, how the hell did the situation develop to even allow for the inclusion of the Extremity Adjudicator?!
SAA!
Space twisted as another milky gold portal unfolded above a region of light.
Dense vegetation floated serenely in a stellar space as verdant purple plant like Lifeforms released serene waves of essence all around, their trunks pointed away from a vibrant Major Plane of Existence that was currently covered by an immense shadow!
Above this Plane, the visage of a Primeval Shadow Elder could be seen as Noah stepped out of the portal and towards the Lernaean Plane encompassed by the shadow calmly.
As he neared, the Apex Aeonic Lifeform that had just released the Aeonic Shadow Sphere sighed with a sharp expression as he recalled the Sphere since he had received another order!
Noah smiled devilishly as after sparing the Apex Aeonic Lifeform a mere glance, his hand glowed as the authority of the Pocket Infinite Plane erupted out along with his Aeonic Dominator's Haki to devour the plane and existences below him.
There were always more ways to fight battles.
Noah couldn't truly fight with Apex Aeonic Lifeforms yet, and yet he was mixing with them and gaining victories without even fighting!
This was the more recent victory as a whole Lineage within the Haven of Dissolution...was about to have every single one of its realms and all of their beings consumed into his Infinite Plane!
How great a platform would it rise to then?
How potent would the light of Conquest be? Would it allow him to take his Golden Consummate Boundaries to Obsidian or even Crimson in conjunction with his own Soul?
And just how would the surroundings of the Haven of Dissolution change due to his actions as at this very moment, other Inheritances from different Havens went to stand behind the Noblesse, Quasarians, and Planeswalkers!
