Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

In the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum.

Noahʼs figure was ascending the metallic Chains of Reality with astounding speed as his body surged with essence that entered these chains vibrantly, a single massive Reality Passage being shown above him even though he was enjoying the boons of all 50!

Dimensional Essence continued to leave his body and sink into the Chains below him along with the Essence of Reality, his body showing robust Essence nonetheless as every part of him seemed full and vibrant with life.

This was due to increasing boosts and Nourishment from the Infinite Reality Passages and the boons of the countless souls pledging Fealty to him and giving up a portion of their souls that seemed to have nowhere to go, his Aspects of Existence adamant on staying where they were until he resonated them and opened up the pathway to Reality…and it seemed only then would these raving waves of essence be consumed!

When they were, he had no doubt that the moment he entered the genuine Primogenial Strata of the Realm of Reality, he would shoot up straight to its peak.

ʼBut for now, letʼs figure out exactly what this Grotto Sanctum is made of…and why its restrictions are like so!ʼ

His thoughts were steady as he felt the higher up and further in he went as he ascended the Chains of Reality, the surroundings only became colder and dreary as even the blue luster of the water began to lose its color, the only thing showing light being the golden glow of the floating land mass that was gradually nearing Noahʼs vision.

The restrictions of his will being restricted to very little area around him and his eyes only being able to see for a small distance with clarity remained- with things only being clearer when he layered his will and vision with TABOO authority and Dimensional Essence.

”...”

Lavalliereʼs voice came at this time as Noah contained his slightly aching heart at the continued devouring of loot that wasnʼt done by him!

10% of the Supreme Soul Crystal Mountain would fade after this as he had to replenish his reserves of Loot very soon, and the figures of multiple geniuses tied on his waist would help with this when he crushed them after the Resplendent Treasure Emperor became TABOO.

BZZZT!

Arcs of essence left his body as he neared the very end of the Chain of Reality, the floating island slowly becoming clear before his eyes as the golden glow faded and Noah saw what was within this land with clarity.

And what he saw…caused his luminous eyes to tremble and shine with a shocking light as the scene wasnʼt one that he expected!

The golden glow that seemed to have encompassed the whole island from afar was actually concentrated in one central area from afar, where Noah could see an encased golden crystalline dome that caused his heart to feel a shocking feeling of greed.

His very Origin buzzed when he felt the pull of whatever lay behind that golden crystalline dome as this structure…was the only thing shining with color on the massive floating landmass.

Everything else was utterly dreadful to look at as the husks of crystalline trees showing unmoving dead Cosmos were stretched throughout, the waters here beginning to freeze over as it was terrifically cold and dreary with Noah feeling an assimilated law within him buzz with a bit of fear and excitement…the Law of Death!

What was most shocking was that apart from the barren dead reality trees, Noah could see the monstrous skeletal figures of…

”Lions? Tigers?”

Noah was surprised to find the bony figures that seemed to resemble mountainous feline creatures- the forms of these existences being entirely made of silver-gray bones as blue flames shone brightly from their empty sockets.

Hidden amidst winding bony protections and what seemed like natural bone armor, the dense silver-gray light of a surging Origin could be seen within the chest of every one of these monstrous skeletal beings as this wasnʼt the most dreadful thing.

What was the most dreadful aspect…was the fact that Noah felt no auras from these creatures on his way here, and nor did he feel any dense auras from them now as he felt like if he blinked, they wouldnʼt be there again when he opened his eyes!

It wasnʼt that their Aspects of Existence were dead or that they were mere husks- with Noah being able to affirm this as the moment he stepped off from the Chains of Reality and onto the barren dreary landmass with a golden crystalline dome in the far distance…3 of these skeletal creatures with blinding blue flames in their eye sockets had locked their gazes into him.

From them, he could feel an aura of immense death.

From them…he could feel traces of a foreign Dimensional Essence!

Two were massive Skeleton Tigers with bone wings stretching from their wide backs, and solidified crowns above their heads as their deathly bodies gave off a profound sense of dread and power that exceeded even the Andur who had a few ecritures on his crown that Noah had defeated with ease multiple times over.

Amidst their bone-armored chests, Noah could see the allure of glimmering silver-gray Cosmos lying dead and yet surging with light.

The Third creature was a Skeleton Lion that showed grandeur and grace even in death, brilliant silver-gray bone wings also sprouting from its back as it similarly held a solidified crown!

But what caused Noahʼs eyes to constrict was the fact that among the gaps of its bone armored chest, he could see the dead Origin that was made up of half Cosmos and half….a Reality.

It seemed like a failed Ascendance as this beingʼs Origin had half-formed into a Reality and then simply didnʼt go any further!

Yet the aura this creature released was dreadful as it seemed no less than a genuine beginner LEGEND.

THUMP!

Noahʼs heartbeat could be felt with clarity as his will began to light up with wonder and excitement when he looked at these skeletal monstrosities.

This was because their appearance here would confirm what the traces of the Third Dimension that Noah would come across were!

Looking at the scene of skeletal monstrosities with terrific power before his eyes, Noah felt annoyed that he even had to ask when the being in question had already swallowed the Supreme Soul Crystals!

”Lavalliere?”

She paused for no reason whatsoever as Noah listened intently.

”The Niflheim Dimension!>

…!
