Chapter 2338 An Unimaginable Form Of Conquest! I
There were many different methods of Conquest.
Noah could have chosen to send one or multiple of his clones onto the domains of the Ancestral Lernaeans.
But instead, he flaunted his Consummate Boundaries as he let them know that if any of them wished to even get close to such Concepts…they needed to come before him and kneel!
He wouldn't have to chase them, they would all have to run towards him.
And such shocking words smashed onto the Wills and souls of the powerful Elder Ancestors that were masters of Sacrariums.
Osaka was silent.
The True Emperor of Light had no words.
Who were they? Just what level of prestige in reality did they enjoy in their day-to-day life? For them to bow towards their Descendant- someone who came from their very own lineage years after they were born.. their souls and hearts forged in the light of Extremity over billions of years could not overcome this feeling so easily!
TAP! TAP!
Yet it was at this moment though, that the light steps on the sandy golden platform could be heard as the figure of Ophelia that was situated behind Noah stepped forward and came to kneel before his stature.
The Golden Lights of Wisdom were graciously wrapping around her, and she raised her head while kneeling and taking the right hand of the True Emperor of Quintessence who stared down towards her with utter magnanimity!
And seconds later…
BOOM!
The body of Ophelia erupted first with the grand light of Providence, and soon after the light of Entropy and Manadynamics also made their appearance as the aura of multiple Consummate Boundaries also trickled around her freely!
…!
Actions spoke louder than words.
In her wisdom, Ophelia showed just what the words of the True Emperor of Quintessence meant.
And they bore witness to the shocking scene themselves!
A fight between pride and humility was an interesting one, but in the grand scheme of things… it never lasted long.
Didn't they choose to destroy their very home all for the sake of power? If they could truly get their hands on Consummate Boundaries just by paying homage to this being before them..
WAA
Waves of Providence surged as after Ophelia showed the way, and the silent and blindfolded Osaka was the next one to follow.
Things seemed to be relatively easier for the Seers as the boundaries that they had more often than not steered them towards a better fate- and the Judgment around Osaka was clear as day.
With her being the first one to fall, an Elder Ancestor gritted his teeth as he also fell to his knees, the allure of power before them being too strong!
Consummate!
Something they could never reach!
So even though the being before was their Descendant…they as the Ancestors began to kneel towards him one after another.
Noah watched this scene coldly as Haki continued to regally pulse around him, gazing as over half of the Elder Ancestors her kneeled- the essence of Conquest erupting out with wild tyranny as dazzling singularities of lights began to float out from the bodies of these Elder Ancestors.
These were…a part of their Aeonic Soul.
A core part of them that made their power!
This was the price to be paid as kneeling was merely a formal gesture!
They had to pay fealty and give up a part of their Soul!
And so the portions of souls of beings that had lived for billions of years…all surged towards Noah as he devoured it all completely.
And only after he received the pledge of Fealty did the bodies of those kneeling begin to tremble as from the portion of the soul they gave up, they felt an unbreakable bond form between them and the True Emperor of Quintessence as through this bond…they felt the connection of multiple Consummate Boundaries that they could now access!
With this…
<Haha…Consummate!>
An Elder Ancestor among those kneeling laughed boisterously at this moment as he wanted to initiate the Boundary of Sacrifice right away to attain something he thought to be impossible.
But…he was among those that kneeled.
There were a few other Elder Ancestors that still stood as Elder Ancestor Rodwig was among them…and in the lead of all these organisms was the True Emperor of Light!
His hair shone with radiance as he spoke out cool amidst all this.
<I represent too many things as I cannot make such a choice myself. I will pass the word and let you know.>
…!
He was one of the leading Elder Ancestors as he didn't fall into the allure of power so easily.
Among those by his side, Rodwig clenched his fists as a sword glow blazed from his body!
<I have to ask.>
The Sword glow was contained and sharp as he spoke out amidst all this, Noah's gaze turning towards him as he felt a tinge of Karma.
<Theseus- one of the Commanders sent to assure the Cataclysm of the Barren Lands…you were the one who killed him?>
WAA!
A grand question! Rodwig would not be himself if he didn't at least ask such a question!
And yet the True Emperor of Quintessence replied simply and with coldness.
<Your son came to kill me and destroy my home…the result of all this was his death. If you feel discontent about this, you can also come at me.>
<...>
The buzz of the Sword was low as it hummed.
The face of Elder Ancestor Rodwig darkened and held a mix of emotions as he seemed ready to act, Light who was in front of him getting ready to move to make sure a fight did not break out!
But…
THUNK!
In the mixture of emotions and to the disbelief of many, Rodwig joined the majority that were kneeling as after ascertaining the fate of his son…he actually bowed to his killer!
.com Others may not be able to understand it. His own eyes showed a trace of unwillingness, but he did it nonetheless as only he knew why he did this!
Noah gazed at such a scene coldly as his Soul took everything in.
The oh so great Ancestors that others revered kneeled before him all for the sake of power.
It roused his tyrannical will of conquest and simultaneously caused a sense of distaste, Noah gazing at them as his voice echoed out.
<Go back and defend your Sacrariums. Let others know what they need to do in order to touch even a semblance of this power.>
He did not even need to move out himself.
He would have all of them come to him as he carried out an unimaginable method of conquest, telling these organisms to defend their Sacrariums!
After all, similar to the Abecedarian Sacrarium…many of the occupied domains were either a Major Plane, a Cluster of Major Planes of Existence, or Natural Domains of the Aeonic Haven of Dissolution like the Endless Abyssal Thalassic Caverns of Nullity.
And since the Ancestral Lernaeans had multiple domains in the form of planes…it was time for Noah to be planting the seeds of having Planes for his Infinite Plane to devour and assimilate soon!
