Noah's tone was truly lacking in reverence that should be shown towards an Esteemed Extremity as he spoke, this veiled Existence maintaining her grandeur as she replied calmly.
[Normally, the lives of the many stand above the few. You are an exception to this as a being with an Absolute Seed of Extremity sits above thousands of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms, not to mention a few hundred lesser Lifeforms. I had no need to intervene when you were surrounded as I did not fear a holder of an Absolute Dynamis of Extremity to be bullied by mere Scions. I just didn't account for your retaliation to be so heavy and thorough. Sweep it all under the expanse of stars for now. Let this feud be over as if you undergo Apexification and attain 'that', I will give you enemies to fight until you beg for it to stop.]
...!
The Esteemed Extremity did not express any emotions of anger as she once more stated what Noah needed to do! And she stated that if he sought enemies, he would have access to so many until he begged no more after his Apexification.
After he attained...that.
His eyes were sharp as his Will covered his Avalon Dimensional Chassis, his feet wanting to take a step towards the Esteemed Extremity before him boldly but he found...that he was rooted to the ground without being able to move even a single step!
She seemed too far away even though she was right before his eyes.
She was everything that the concepts in his soul sought to achieve as even though he tried, he truly couldn't take a single step closer towards the vibrant essence of Extremity that was strengthening his Aspects of Existence just from being near it!
He was trying to get ever closer because of the prompts that rose before his eyes.
[Your Aeonic Soul is exposed to an Entity that is emanating waves of pure Extremity!]
[The pure waves of Extremity in your surroundings is very conducive to the rate of Convergence of Dynamis of Extremity!]
[The pure waves of Extremity in your surroundings are hungrily devoured into your atoms with every breath as an extremely long exposure will only take you closer towards Extremity!]
Anything that had attained Extremity was something that held a gravitational pull towards all others who had not, Noah feeling his Aeonic Soul Values spiking as because of this meeting, he wanted to have the journey towards the Cult of Endless Shadows in the Aeonic Haven of Penumbra as soon as possible for him to grasp the Armament of Extremity.
BZZZT!
The light of the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity shone below his feet as he still tried to take a step closer towards Extremity, his breaths Quintessential and resonating with his main body in the Infinite Plane!
"That. You keep mentioning that if I attain 'that' after Apexification, I can bear the weight of an Albatross. What is 'that'?"
His eyes were bright as he peered through the veils of secrecy, merging the memories of the few hundred Scions from the Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity with what he heard now.
[It is something that cannot be sought after or attained just because someone wishes. We've long theorized that it is something hidden within the Soul that even we cannot fully fathom.]
As she spoke, her fair hands waved as an illusory scene of trillions of singularities bloomed all around them. Each of them shone with the grandeur of a Soul as they represented an unknown number of beings across the expanse of Extremity!
[Think of it as simple as a type of authority or a state of being. When one attains Extremity, the transformation of their soul will manifest it. Less commonly, some unique beings who have only undergone Apexification are also able to manifest it. It is something that is critical in facing the adversaries outside the bounds of space, time, and reality itself. Enemies who look upon the Souls of those who have reached Extremity as if they are potent Panaceas for them to devour...and they easily succeed in doing so as even those who have attained Extremity but do not have 'that' authority- they would have to put everything on the line simply to survive an encounter with them.]
...!
Words that were more and more grave by the second emanated out as Noah couldn't help but repeat them with a pondering expression!
"Enemies living outside of space and time..."
Around him, the trillions of illusory souls represented as singularities only had a barely discernible portion light up brightly- a portion yesterday seemed far insignificant compared to just how many souls there were!
[Even now, we only possess a small number of beings with 'that'. We've found over the years which types of beings are likely or guaranteed to have it early, with existences who have Mutated Aspects of Being being one, and another is those who have managed to forge an Absolute Seed of Extremity. For someone like you who managed to achieve an Absolute Seed of Extremity, you will join the ranks of the few fighters we have who will awaken 'that'. It's guaranteed when you reach Extremity, but if you are even more extraordinary and awaken it after Apexification, then you will be able to survive just being near our enemies by meeting the requirements of being able to survive outside the bounds space, time, and even reality itself.]
...!
The words of the Esteemed Extremity before Noah caused his mind to buzz as while countless thoughts swirled, one came to the forefront!
Listening to her words, Noah couldn't help but think of the feeling his Reified Source of Extremity felt within the field of Aeonic Anti-Mana.
The feeling that Phos and the others felt as they were denied of the very reality, space, and time around them!
Was being able to survive in such an environment...a part of the power that the Adjudicator of Dissolution mentioned?!
Anti-Mana stemmed from the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity, which was an Absolute Seed of Extremity that this existence before him uttered was one of the guarantors of having 'that' power when one reached Extremity.
The power of Anti-Mana was already this tremendous when the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity was only over a fourth completed in its Convergence.
But it was what this feature was able to call forth that made Noah connect a few thoughts and possibilities!
Even though he may not be correct, he wanted to pursue it.
Because apparently, there were adversaries who lived and thrived outside of the bounds of space, time, and reality itself! Yet when Noah experienced it for the span of a shred of an instant, he had to use the connection of the Reified Source of Extremity with his main body to call out the Indefatigable Essence to defend himself as this was the key!
The very Seed of Extremity was the key.
But if it wasn't just his clone or Reified Source that was in a space outside the bounds of space, time, and reality itself. If his main body and everything about him was in this space as he was cut off from accessing the very Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity...how would he survive?
"..."
His soul buzzed with grandeur and possibilities.
He knew that he had to work to achieve what 'that' was and brand it into his very Aspects of Existence- where even if he couldn't access a shred of essence, he would be able to traverse freely outside the bounds of space, time, and the very reality itself!
