2290 The Abyss! I
Luna stared at the scene before her with complete disbelief.
Her supposed son-in-law had bulldozed his way across every being that he came across, but surely he could not also bulldoze his way out of the terrifying creature that had appeared before them?
Luna could feel an extremely different sense of power and a type of apathy and malice stemming from the body of Ancestor Jeremiah.
The silver gold hair on the head of this being floated majestically as his powerful gaze came to land on the throne near her.
<Arrogance indeed, but even arrogance needs to have a stopping point.>
Ancestor Jeremiah's words came out powerfully as he continued soon after.
<A high level of arrogance to match the talent? Hmph, then he can join those making their way to the Endless Abyssal Thalassic Caverns of Nullity after being briefed. Rodwig will seek an answer as to why his son died as he had made great contributions today with what they've found. It is something important enough that could even bring one close to becoming an Apex Aeonic Lifeform!>
Ancestor Jeremiah seemed hurried, as he would have normally taken some time to at least discipline newly risen beings that showed immense arrogance before his eyes.
But something too critical occurred as he was among the few that could also spare one of their bodies towards the terrifying location that Ancestor Rodwig had found!
Seeing the things flowing in the direction that she intended, Ophelia released a slight smile as she had played multiple different cards today, and now she sealed the deal.
<Not to worry. This being shall be my sponsor for the time to come. I will look after him as he will also become one of my people.>
A clear connection was established as the expression on Ancestor Jeremiah became a little darker. The sponsoring of any existence was to aid them towards the path of extremity, and this was something that commoniy a civilization conducted in order to produce existences like Apex Aeonic Lifeforms to lead them forward!
But Jeremiah truly didn't have the time to look at all this closely after confirming what had happened here by using his authority to check the Automaton Boundary Modulators of the disheveled Descendants here, his visage began to fade.
<Very well. You can create a fairly powerful Aeonic Soul Clone now...you can use it to lead this new sponsor of yours and any other Lernaeans that have reached the 6th Boundary Layer to the coordinates sent forth by Rodwig. Even if we lose a Sacrarium or two due to the looser defenses, the boons will be worth it as nearly all Seers are feeling the waves of extremity react to this event. And the vile NOBLESSE and even the Quasarians have already discovered the same location as we must hurry...hurry to The Abyss!>
-
The atmosphere was dreary and filled with immense darkness.
Commander Luthor felt like he had been falling for an extremely long time as even his senses were fooled while falling within this massive abyssal space!
And when he finally landed...
BOOM!
His body smashed down with a heavy force as he grunted while adjusting himself.
But the adjusting was never even initiated as the moment he landed, he felt terrifying waves of authority pressing on his Aeonic Soul from all sides as if it was being squeezed!
His visage trembled as he adjusted, finding himself utilizing a large percentage of his power just to remain standing and keep his balance as he could barely release his Will around him.
He had to use his eyes as when his head rose up with great effort...
He saw the scene around him as his heart trembled.
He saw a vast desert with utterly black sand stretching out before him, rising dunes and mountainous areas being seen from a distance as everything shone with a radiant stellar glow.
The surroundings were filled with even thicker concentrations of essence as Luthor's soul was drawn towards an area not too far from him that held a shimmering lake surrounded by black desert sand, this lake swirling with black gold liquid light as it pulsed with waves of Extremity!
It pulsed with the fantastical light of Aeonic Treasures of Extremity as within it, swaying desert Lilies, Marigold, and a myriad of other herbs pulsing with dense lights of the Aeonic Treasures of Extremity clustered together.
And even further from this black gold lake, Luthor's eyes could barely make out a massive obsidian film of light in the far distance as similar lights of Aeonic Treasures of Extremity flickered around it. But his heart was set on the nearest black gold lake he could see as his soul told him if he could devour the Aeonic Treasures of Extremity he saw...he could finally exceed the 7th Boundary Layer and proceed forward.
So he took the steps towards this pulsating grandeur before him.
Or...he tried.
BZZN!
He felt as if the abyss around him constricted just to focus on him anytime he wanted to move as the pressure weighing down on his soul was massive, and it made moving extremely difficult as the stout figure of Luthor began to sweat!
He gritted his teeth as he barely managed to take a single step, his body even losing the capability to float as the atmosphere around here was too strange!
Just what could cause an existence that had achieved the 7th Boundary Layer to feel such a weight on their soul as even after a few seconds, he only took another few steps as he felt like it would take forever to reach the lake of obsidian gold grandeur.
BOOM! BOOM...
This was when the figures of those who were right behind him appeared as coming down with ferocity, the visage of Ancestor Rodwig appeared along with multiple other Commander level figures at the same stage as Luthor.
They all felt and saw the same things as after seeing the light of Aeonic Treasures of Extremity atop a dazzling black gold lake, they also tried to adapt to the surroundings as those who had only achieved a single Boundary at 7th Boundary Layer took agonizingly slow steps, while those that had multiple Boundaries at the Tth Boundary Layer had an easier time to move!
But none of them made much headway towards the Aeonic Treasures of Extremity as in the next moment, Luthor's eyes widened as he felt the aura of someone pass right beside him with large strides.
BZZT!
Swirling with grand white gold light as the illusory shape of a sword blazed around his body protectively, Ancestor Rodwig made a move as unlike them who took slow agonizing steps, his figure moved in large strides as he overcame the shocking soul pressure in this area- his eyes luminous and expectant as he very quickly went towards the black gold lake!
