2925 Development! IV
It was a scene that was ingrained in Noah's mind.
The single extending chains atop the Dikastes of Extremity he had seen before- each of them still extending upwards towards whoever bound and chained these Dikastes of Extremity.
The dazzling Fruits of Existence he had began to accumulate across a myriad of branches, their numbers extending outwards!
They could all be found within the waters of the Ninth Gradation of Extremity.
Waters that no Seeds were allowed to reach over the eons as this was where they began harvesting the Fruits of Existence!
But how were the waters signifying the Gradations of Extremity connected to the Vitalis and Vacuous Existential Domains, and the Aeonic Annals of Extremity?
Noah could affirm with certainty their connection as within these waters, he came across many beings who were chained and rising through them slowly…but they were all from the Vitalis and Vacuous Hyperversal Domains.
As if these waters of the Gradations of Extremity only represented the beings of these two domains.
They were not in any way connected to other Existential Domains under the watch of other Legacies.
[Mmm…]
Many thoughts passed over Noah's mind at this as a few pathways were shown, but as his existence continued to receive a heavy baptism, he took a moment to actualize the achievement that he had truly just arrived here.
The Ninth Gradation of Extremity.
So easily.
So simply!
And now…
HUUM!
He moved towards the translucent branches showing a Fruit of Existence that had fully formed, appearing before it to pluck it out as…
POP!
With a glimmer of authority, the Fruit came into his hands.
He smiled brilliantly at this as thereafter, his body floated in front of the massive but immovable Vitalis Dikastes of Extremity.
The crystalline white skin seemed tougher than High Grade Armaments of Extremity as even while in a state of Hibernation, they gave off an oppressive air.
He never got the chance to go against these beings as he was too weak against them just hours ago, and now he should have arrived on the same stage as them!
But they were unique constructs that weren't any common Lifeforms, and even though Noah did not get a chance to fight them now in his elevated state…
[The Extremity of Loot pulses with desire.]
[The Extremity of Greed and the Extremity of Devouring say that a meal is presenting itself right before you!]
A devilish glint shone in Noah's eyes as akin to a predator enamored by their prey, authority boomed from him and came to envelop the Vitalis Dikastes of Extremity before his eyes.
As he sought to devour it!
As he sought to break it down and understand it!
Even though it didn't have the Fruit of Existence to power it up, what challenge could it pose?
BZZT!
[You are beginning to break down and devour a construct born of immeasurably advanced constituents.]
[Proceed with caution, as there are existential markings and brandings on this construct not belonging to any of the Legacies you have come across.]
…!
Existential makings and brandings.
Noah's extremes cautioned him as he felt them all flow across his existence, with his soul expressing Oraculum, Indefatigable, Vitalistic…all of his previous Dynamis of Extremity could all be felt at once.
They warned him to be careful as Noah now knew how even peering at the weavings of others could alert them, and it seemed these Dikastes of Extremity were not local to the Legacies of Al-Abalem and Ignatius.
They were constructs forged elsewhere and seemingly traded amongst Legacies- bought and sold in states of Hibernation for them to be utilized in their Existential Domains.
It meant that they didn't begin as Vitalis or Vacuous Dikastes of Extremity, but were changed into this after they arrived in these domains!
[...]
Noah felt the influx of this information come in as he proceeded slowly, his authority of a predator covering the massive Dikastes before him as he reveled in what boons may come from it!
—
As the Extremity of Quintessence stepped on the Ninth Gradation of Extremity, the defenders of the Infinite Hyperversal Haven were making their own gains.
After devouring a Fruit of Existence, those who were in the lower rungs of the Gradations of Extremity found themselves rapidly shooting up to achieve high Gradations that were mere dreams not too long ago!
Henry opened his eyes with a flash of brilliance as he emanated powerful waves of power at the peak of the Seventh Gradation of Extremity, the Eighth Gradation only a sliver away.
The vast majority of others jumped across the Gradations as being like Kazuhiko, Emperor Penguin, the Seer of Sima, or Svetlana had all stepped into the Sixth Gradation of Extremity!
Even the visage of the demoness, Lilith, stood at this stage as she came truly far.
At this time, the vibrant eyes of the Primogenitor of Steel also opened as he felt his existence, his body shining with interminable waves at the peak of the Eighth Gradation of Extremity as he knew…the Ninth would not be too far away.
He smiled as he looked around him.
At the deluge of beings who had arrived at new stages of power, this whole scene being unlike anything that could play out in the past Vitalis and Vacuous Hyperversal Domains.
It was a scene of serenity and peace as if they weren't in a process of Apocalypse- a scene one couldn't truly come across just days ago.
He gazed at all of them as in his deep voice, he spoke.
[Shall we get to know each other's fables? Stories of who we were and who we aspire to be in the future?]
At this momentary period of peace, the Primogenitor of Steel was the first to move as he sought to form connections and understanding with the defenders of the Infinite Hyperversal Haven.
Henry and the others gazed up to meet his gaze as soon after, numerous intents unfolded as Entities coming from different eons and times for a chance to mingle amongst each other!
