"Shadowlings of the Cult of Endless Shadows...come before me."
His voice reverberated out from the crimson gold Vampyre of Extreme Sanguinity as those who heard it were perplexed.
Across the many floating obelisks, in the far region on the periphery- clusters of a few dozen Scions that seemed to be covered in darkness heard his words as their eyes opened in shock and scrutiny!
They questioned why this being that had made enemies out of many Inheritances called out to them, their gazes showing incredulity moments after when they saw the Runestone this being showed in his hands.
"That is the Runestone carrying an equivalent authority to a Grand Primeval Elder..."
"How..?"
Voices rose amongst the few dozen groups of Shadowlings as when they first heard their name come out of this person's mouth, and they then saw the Runestone, they feared he was implicating them and causing the Cult of Endless Shadows to gain enemies as well!
But the authority of the Grand Primeval Runestone he held could not be denied as from the groups of a few dozen Shadowlings, a stern young man with slanted eyebrows and eyes that held star-shaped pupils voiced out while his figure shot over.
"Respect the authority of the Grand Primeval Runestone and do not ask questions for now!"
His body shot out first as the others followed.
The more they thought about the situation, the more complex their expressions became as from incredulity and unwillingness, they gradually began to see the bigger picture as they voiced amongst themselves.
"Is he a Scion of our Cult we didn't know about? If so, his power..."
They began to think about the might that this being displayed as it was undeniable, their thoughts about him changing many times over as 5 groups of a dozen Shadowlings soon arrived before Noah's glorious visage!
The young man with slanted eyebrows came forward first, followed by 4 other Shadowlings who led their own squadrons.
"Vernon acknowledges the holder of the Grand Primeval Runestone."
His tone was that of calmness as he and many other Shadowlings felt the scrutiny of other Scions from the myriad of Inheritances now turning their way, but they held their heads high as Noah gazed at them coldly while speaking out.
"Grand Primeval Silas has made a deal for the procurement of Golden Extremity Panaceas for you all. Follow behind me and participate in battles as needed when they begin to unfold. Any questions?"
...!
Noah stated the name of the Grand Primeval Shadow Elder in charge of overseeing their current operation along with a deal they had no idea about, but the Shadowlings had just glimpsed his power as when they heard this- their reservations faded as even the figure of Vernon who had stepped forward to lead the Shadowlings here adopted a smile while gazing towards Noah's 8 bodies and the few dozen Scions controlled by the Vampyre of Extreme Sanguinity before them.
"Then we shall follow your lead, Elder Osmont."
The existences across the vastness of Extremity were many.
When the situation presented itself, their pride and arrogance were put away as they knew how to act!
Noah coldly waved his hands towards these beings as his 8 Reified Sources of Extremity began moving forward again, proceeding with his end of the bargain to procure 81 Golden Extremity Panaceas for the Cult of Endless Shadows as within the next day or two...he prepared to send one of his Clones to the Aeonic Haven of Penumbra to see one of the 81 Armaments of Extremity.
The Shadow Sword that was elevating the Cult of Endless Shadows to become an Aeonic Inheritance of Extremity!
With this in mind, his 8 Reified Sources of Extremity moved as a cluster of Scions followed behind, their destination being the far area where the 9th Source of Extremity- the Quintessential Emperor of Extremity, was about to compete with the truly genius Scions of the Inheritances here!
---
Close to the blooming Crimson Panacea.
The temperature was high as the Leviathans of Dissolution covered this region with a terrifying aura, their massive bodies releasing guttural roars as they were about to clash with the Scions of the Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity!
The tanned figure of Erikson in beach attire was closest to them as his figure barreled forth like a bomb, but even at this time...he turned towards Noah's direction and spoke out loudly after seeing the events behind them.
"You're affiliated with the Cult of Endless Shadows?"
"No. I just have a agreement with one of their Elders."
His words were succinct as the cherry-colored light of the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity covered his stellar skin, his fist barreling forward powerfully while Erikson nodded at his words and did the same!
"Good!"
HOONG!
One was utilizing an Absolute Dynamis of Extremity.
The other was utilizing a terrifying capability only known as Aeonic Probability Distortion!
Their figures were small in comparison to the Leviathans of Dissolution they faced, Noah's visage being much larger than the normal Scions as he was a Reified Source of Extremity.
He faced a massive beast that had the distinction of a [Wingless Komodo Prion], its scales glinting in a deep verdant light as its jaws opened to release a poisonous sea of essence!
With its already massive size in comparison to the Scions limited by the authority of Dissolution, the poisonous breath it released covered a vast region as even the burning figure of Ayame and Erikson fell under its range!
Yet their eyes held immense assurance and power as Ayame's horn shone to release an immaculate weaving of 12 Boundary Essences that converged into a sun singularity that burned the incoming poisonous sea wrapped in the authority of Dissolution.
And Erikson's smile widened as he only waved his arms forward, distorting the probability around him and of his enemies as nothing even came close to his body!
Noah's body was wrapped in the Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity as even when the crimson poisonous sea descended, the cherry-colored light stably kept everything at bay as he moved forward.
In the midst of this clash, a pink light suddenly shot down from above as it used this chaos to pass in between the two Leviathans of Dissolution blocking the way in this direction- bypassing the blockade of the Leviathans guarding this area and closer to the Crimson Extremity Panacea than everyone else!
This pink figure had a serious look as his robes were fully pink with some white inscriptions of a blooming petal on the left side of the chest. His pupils were also shining with a radiant pink light as they were in the form of a spinning flower petal.
It was the existence known as Atlas from the Aeonic Inheritance of the Plum Sword of Extremity!
In his hands, a pure white sword shot out as from it, countless stellar pink petals bloomed in this whole region.
[Plum Blossom Sword Sea]
As if a stellar spring was blooming in this whole region.
They were in such wild abundance as they even released fluttering sounds akin to the flapping of the wings of trillions of birds.
The pink light of these petals was much lighter than the more Crimson hued cherry colored light of Noah's Indefatigable Dynamis of Extremity- with these countless petals even surging towards the Leviathans of Dissolution in other directions who turned around the moment Atlas broke through the encirclement!
But there was no need for this.
Noah observed this scene with scrutiny as he learned of the power of actually powerful Scions and recalled the words of Erikson that even apart from the Leviathans of Dissolution- there was something else that would make it impossible for others to attain the Crimson Extremity Panacea.
And the answer was revealed now as while his white sword released countless flower petals, Atlas' left hand reached out towards the Panacea before him!
But before he could even near...
HOONG!
The crimson from the Panacea coagulated into a frightening power that blared out and pushed everything away- this authority even exceeding what the Aeonic Leviathans of Dissolution emanated!
A roar of valued glory seemed to emanate from the Crimson Extremity Panacea itself as to attain it, one didn't just have to get past the Leviathans of Dissolution- they had to overcome this type of Living Aeonic Treasures itself and make it submit!
The most powerful and most valued of all the Extremity Panaceas.
The Crimson Extremity Panacea was sentient and overflowing with glorious power!
