Chapter 5665: The Thing Beneath The Fruit! II
Noah stood on the mountains of THE Serenaros, his endlessly blue eyes locked on the colossal, nine-eyed abomination towering above them. THE Sundered Scion of Sovereign and Immense looked down, its flat gold eyes radiating a cold, unyielding judgment!
Then, the terrifying silhouette of the beast began to blur.
Noah narrowed his eyes. THE PRECEPT OF SOLIPSISM normally blinded others to his depth, but this was the exact inverse. The Scion possessed a Dimensionality so unfathomably deep that it was physically slipping out of Noah’s perceptive frameworks. It was descending into an unseen layer of reality that Noah had not yet breached!
Descartes gazed up at the fading horror. The old philosopher clasped his hands behind his back.
"This will be a difficult one," Descartes said calmly. "The solution will be with the two it wants to kill. Both you and I will have to find what makes this thing tick, and kill it. Those Who Remain act with boundless power, but there are also restrictions. Even in an impossible situation, there is always a chance of survival."
The subtraction of their presence ended. Descartes and Noah instantly became perceivable to the rest of the Dimension once again.
THE Primordial Paradox and THE Living Paradox floated up to them immediately. The two obsidian anomalies did not carry their usual arrogance.
Their heavy gazes were fixed on the sky, and their bodies trembled under a sudden, crushing oppression that demanded they kneel!
Descartes did not look at his students. He kept his eyes on the blurring Scion.
"Stay close to me," Descartes instructed them. "And under no circumstances are you to be in one state of existence. Be alive and dead. Be here and not. Exist on a continuum of paradox. Should you slip a single fraction, I may not be able to save you."
...!
The command only deepened the gravity of the space.
Noah focused his utmost attention on the blurring sky. His Provenance churned, drawing on the weight of his 200 Decillion Quarks!
At that exact moment, the nine gold eyes of the beast focused entirely on Noah.
His existence rang with deafening alarm bells!
The sheer, concentrated intent of the Scion bypassed the physical air and spoke directly to the conceptual foundation of the Dimension, proclaiming a single certainty over reality itself!
DEATH.
In the next instant, THE Sundered Scion completely disappeared from Noah’s perception.
Noah did not think as he moved on pure, tyrannical instinct!
He raised his left hand, and millions of Sanguine Blood Drops instantly bloomed into existence on his side. They formed an overlapping, impenetrable wall of crimson gold and stellar blue event horizons, designed to eradicate any approaching physical or conceptual force!
A fraction of a nanosecond later, all millions of his Blood Drops simply evaporated.
BOOM!
They were snuffed out completely!
An unseen force bypassed the Sanguine Mana entirely and smashed directly into his raised hand.
Cracks formed.
His glistening flesh fractured! THE Quintessential Provenance Skin broke!
BOOM!
|THE Quintessential Provenance Skin has been truly tested for the first time.|
|Limits identified. Your pristine vessel is strained against lifeforms that exceed 60 Attributes, even though your own attributes are much lower. Nothing below 60 Attributes can effectively harm you.|
|What has hit you this time is a force carrying an unfathomably higher Dimensionality.|
|WATCH OUT!|
Noah absorbed the sheer, concentrated kinetic impact of countless Dimensions.
For the first time since his transformation, his focus broke!
His body was launched backward with impossible violence. He was smashed across the entire length of THE Serenaros, tearing through the rusted mountains and the heavy purple gold clouds as everything on his path turned into dust!
He slammed directly into the outer barrier of THE Dimensional Provenance Train!
The thick, crystallized glass of the border shrieked under his weight. He was inches away from shattering the boundary and being thrown out into the abstract, lethal annihilation of the crossing-dark!
His Provenance seethed violently. A vast sea of Infinite Sanguine Mana bloomed against the glass, acting as a final cushion to arrest his momentum.
Noah stabilized his broken hand and bellowed into the rushing void.
"I AM!"
BOOM!
His 200 Decillion Quarks rang with maddening grandeur. They roared with absolute tyranny, stitching the fractured skin of his hand back together in a wash of stellar blue-gold light!
Noah breathed out in genuine astonishment. A single hit by an enemy he could not even see had nearly cost his newly forged body its life.
This was the raw, unmitigated product of THE Immense Ones. Vakochev had warned those of boundless potential that they would be targeted, and the architects had not sent a messenger. They had sent an executioner!
SKEEE!
A fearsome, metallic cry clapped across the entirety of THE Serenaros Dimension.
The sound carried a horrid, conceptual weight as up in the skies, the massive floating metal cages rattled violently. Every single Inhibited True Lifeform and Primeval One trapped inside those cages with attributes sitting below 10...simply ceased to exist. They turned into puffs of red mist.
Down in the courtyards, the catastrophe spread. Mahishasura and the Veiled Descendants dropped to their knees, bleeding profusely from their eyes and ears. Several of the controlled Descendants lost consciousness entirely and plummeted from the sky!
Noah felt his own existence ring violently against the noise.
|The sound waves of THE Sundered Scion carry THE Provenance Cause of Existential Terminus.|
|You are immune to its effects due to the propagation of your Teloi across the whole of your matter.|
|Lifeforms without sufficient backing of their existence are extinguished.|
...!
BOOM!
Noah stabilized his footing, his endlessly blue eyes heavy with coldness.
He looked across the gigaparsecs of his Dimension. Countless spots of mist drifted where ancient lifeforms had hovered just a moment before. The scream of the unseen enemy continued to tear the purple gold skies apart!
In the far distance, Descartes stood calmly near the ashen, flickering figures of his two paradoxical students. The old philosopher did not raise a weapon, but his unfathomable eyes hardened.
"To kill senselessly is the crutch of the unimaginative," Descartes stated, his voice slicing cleanly through the deafening screech.
"A sovereign ends what stands in its way. But only a terrified architect murders the audience just to clear the stage."
Descartes raised a single, immaculate hand.
Existence seethed. Billowing clouds of dense, obsidian smoke manifested out of nowhere, wrapping around a specific coordinate in the sky. The paradoxical smoke forced the unseen layers to overlap with the physical world, stripping away the Scion’s concealment and rendering it barely visible again.
But the massive, nine-eyed abomination was not in the sky above the mountain.
Noah felt the air freeze at his back.
The Scion had already crossed the Dimension. Its position was right behind Noah!
Its colossal jaws were opened impossibly wide, and its nine cold gold eyes locked directly onto THE True Human Emperor!
Before the jaws snapped shut, Noah heard a cold, featureless voice echo from the mouth of the abomination.
"Death is human. Be...human."
BOOM!
