2462 Humiliation! I
Silver Striped Imoogi.
A massive serpentine dragon whose body alone towered akin to a world before the Scions and the figures of all others!
It had lived for an unknown number of years as it expanded its concepts towards Extremity while surrounded by Dissolution.
It was wrapped within the Extremity Vein of Dissolution itself for all of its life and restricted to this region where it found others similar to it, their purpose only being to get stronger until ultimately, they could devour the Extremity Panaceas that bloomed from the branches of Dissolution!
Its will was refined by its dozens of Concepts of Extremity and further propelled towards the precipice after it swallowed an Obsidian Extremity Panacea!
Its scales shone with blinding silver and black grandeur as it was a ferocious beast from ancient times that should terrify others with its mere gaze alone.
So…why could it not proceed any further while staring at a single existence before it?!
Noah emanated a suffocating type of pressure towards any of those wishing to act against him, and this Leviathan of Dissolution couldn't bring itself to make a move as at such a juncture…
"Come on."
…!
Noah beckoned towards it.
"You can go ahead and attack."
WAA!
Immense pride and anger of the dragon race rose from the depths of the Silver Striped Imoogi's soul at such words as the hesitation and pressure it felt dissipated.
Its wings flared out as its chest expanded, a runic magic circle quickly becoming etched on its jaws as an instant later, condensed singularities filled with destructive waves of Dissolution and other concepts manifested in large numbers.
When near Scions felt the pressure emanating from these condensed singularities, their gazes became stern as they could sense the deadly potency within a single one.
A single one was equivalent to an attack that one of the more prominent Scions from the major Inheritances or Seven Clans could unleash!
Yet dozens of them formed as the angered and wounded pride of the Silver Striped Imoogi utilized more than 60% of its Aeonic Soul Values into this single move.
[Barrage of Extreme Sorrow!]
The will of the Silver Striped Imoogi blared out as at a rapid pace, the condensed singularities of Dissolution surged out towards the visage of Noah's Quintessential Emperor of Extremity!
At such a critical juncture, not a single move was made on his part.
He calmly watched the surging points of singularities that quickly arrived before his visage, each one being ten times larger than him as they all came from the colossal Silver Striped Imoogi!
Yet as the first one threatened to eclipse and erase him out of Existence…a fantastical scene that caused many beings to pause occurred.
BZZZT!
The buzzing singularity reached his body as he neither evaded nor made a move, not even lifting a finger as the moment it was about to reach him, a thin layer of light lit up that absolutely prevented anything from even landing on his skin.
An Innate Quintessential Hyperversal Barrier.
It caused the first cluster of essence that reached him to vibrate at a shocking rate as an instant later, the entire volatile mass of singularity broke down and turned into fine dust as if it was ground down to nothingness!
….!
And for the dozen other singularities that followed…
PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!
At the moment of impact, each of them turned to dust as they couldn't even graze his stellar skin!
Such a scene alarmed many, but none more than the Silver Striped Imoogi as the roused anger and pride faded as it remembered the sense of oppression it felt before.
CRACK!
The runic magic circle before its jaws that was releasing the dense clusters of singularities actually broke and fizzled out at such a time as his ability actually failed to remain cast.
A deep ominous sensation descended as the Silver Striped Imoogi heard the voice of the dazzling existence it had targeted.
"A worthy effort…"
…!
A worthy effort!
These three words caused the soul of the Silver Striped Imoogi to tremble as they seemed like the judgment of an executioner!
And it truly was a worthy effort, but Noah affirmed that his Barrier alone could block attacks equivalent to 3 Quintessential Hyperversal Defense Values!
This was because his Reified Source of Quintessence could display 9x the capabilities of his main body.
His one third Defense Value equivalent to an Apex Aeonic Damage Value became 3 for the Quintessential Emperor of Extremity, and his Damage Value of one tenth…
He wanted to see the magnificence of an attack that would nearly reach the might of an average newly transformed Apex Aeonic Lifeform.
And so with a tinge of sentimentality as he began on a new path with a wondrous set of Damage and Defense Values…he uttered out calmly as he tapped with his finger.
"Fireball."
…!
Noah's Reified Source of Quintessence stood near the forefront of the Scions along with Erikson, Ayame, Atlas, Lodovico, and other notable Scions who faced their own deadly Leviathans of Dissolution.
Apart from the Silver Striped Imoogi eclipsing everything before him, there were other Leviathans behind this one as well as the interweaving branches of dissolution holding hundreds of Extremity Panaceas.
Yet the moment he uttered the word fireball…
The sight of the Imoogi who was hundreds of times larger than him changed.
Its sight became obscured by a fiery Crimson light!
But it wasn't alone.
The Leviathans of Dissolution behind it to its left and right.
The Leviathans in the distance floating near dense clusters of Extremity Panaceas.
Each one was akin to the size of a world compared to the average Scions here as at this moment, they found their sight bathed with a crimson light while their surrounding reality instantly turned blazing!
The Imoogi was the closest to Noah as it heard the word this being uttered out that cemented its judgment.
At the last moment, it wanted to say that this wasn't a ball of fire.
As its silver black scales melted along with the immolation of its Aspects of Existence, it had a single thought.
'This…is a Plane.'
BZZZT!
What appeared with Noah's simple tap was a enormous circular fiery Crimson singularity that covered the Silver Striped Imoogi within it along with 9 other massive Leviathans of Dissolution that were around or behind it!
And none of them had even a nanosecond more to exist as their Aspects of Existence were burnt to declare nothingness, .9 Quintessential Hyperversal Damage Values being unleashed until each of them as the Reified Source of Quintessence showed its grandeur!
And the so called fireball that caused nearby reality to melt and the Scions nearby to move away in shock…it remained floating and burning as it was akin to a unprecedented Plane of Flames!
