On the Throne of Tyranny, Noah looked as the stationary Stormdust began to leak out a shockingly unique aura, his hand cradling his chin with a light smile while looking at the change of this Family Head.
"That was all it took to get you to change?"
A devilishly dominant smile appeared on him as from his Throne of Tyranny, he watched as the aura of a Primordial Beast began to bloom from the body of Stormdust before everyone's eyes!
Everything...was proceeding as he expected.
He had allowed the gaze of others to be able to discern a portion of his Destiny- a Portion! His Primordial Eye could hide anything about the Origin of a being, and this included more than just masking the essence of Daos or Edicts or changing one's form.
One could hide their destiny and fortune from being discerned by others just as easily, and Noah had allowed a portion of his destiny to be seen by Stormdust and the existence that could see from the eyes of this Family Head for the purpose of enticement!
The unique existence that was Hyperion…that was what this show was all for! There were many layers of things to look out for in this ongoing event, but one of the main players was not actually present in the Cosmic Battlefield as Noah had to draw him in.
As he watched the maddening aura that one would only come across from Primordial Beasts leak out from Stormdust, Noah bid his time as he waited for the rest of the spectacular events to unfold!
'Then…we have Aegon and his backstory, don't we?'
He sat on his Throne of Tyranny imposingly as he didn't even continue staring at Stormdust, his illuminating gaze going towards another existence situated on a similar throne that was staring emotionlessly towards Stormdust's position!

Aegon's Primordial Eye gazed towards Stormdust with a deep sense of disappointment among a myriad of emotions, the essence being leaked from the body of his old friend being something he knew all too well.
He knew that this friend of his was looking for other sources of power as he had closed off any other possible paths with the limited number of Daos and Laws he had to forge any more Edicts. He knew that Stormdust was chasing after him and the power he held…but Aegon knew this was an impossibility as nobody could reach the level he had reached!
So even when he found out that Stormdust turned towards the machinations of the vile Primordial Beasts for a bid of power, he let it slide as he considered their old friendship. As he considered the past Stormdust that even he used to look up to.
'You were a shining beacon of light I could never reach before…and look at you now.'
WAA!
A beacon of light that Aegon looked up to!
This was the past Stormdust who was leading Aegon, Havenbreaker, and Springforge to help others and conquer Universes under their feet.
A strong leader who had the most beautiful woman by his side…Aegon looked up to him as the prime example of what he wanted in life. And he got the chance to do so when the Primordial appeared before them and chose him to be the Champion.
Not Stormdust who was leading their party- it was his that was chosen to be the Champion of Reality!
The dynamic of their group had gradually changed as Aegon obtained the position of leadership he always admired…and he even took the beautiful woman that was by the side of the person he admired. He achieved everything he wanted even though the one he looked up to fell behind him, he still promised himself to take care of him.
'So I let you play your game with the Primordial Beasts, and I wouldn't have done anything to you had you just continued to try doing it in secret. Yet now…'
Why was he falling under the influence of a small enemy and getting so worked up that he would resort to using the strength of Primordial Beasts in the depths of the Bastion of Reality?
The gaze of the Champion of Reality was heavy as he looked at his old friend, and then also at the existence on top of a purple gold throne that had been the cause of all this. All content is property © .
'And you…just who do you think you are to cause all this?'
…!

Destiny weaved and flowed as events continued to unfold.
The moment that Stormdust erupted with the aura of Primordial Beasts, a large majority of the Forefathers, Daolords, and many of the Antiquities encircled by Noah's forces in the Primordial Centurion forms also began to release bursts of light as at this time…the figures of Tainted Ones began to bloom.
Existences that had devoured the Origin Blood of Primordial Beasts to achieve a new stage of power- such beings rose up in open as their forms were laid bare for all to see!
"What is this…"? In the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield, existences from the different houses rose up in shock as they tried to comprehend the scenes they were watching. On the center of the verdant seats, Springforge's eyes flashed with a cold light as by her side, Halcyon voiced out calmly as her golden eyes shone with a lustrous light.
"Now, there is no going back."
An irrevocable action had occurred!
In the center of the Bastion of Reality, a portion of its own defenders were releasing the aura of the enemies that sought to destroy Reality!
The one to cause this all calmly remained situated on his Throne of Tyranny, watching calmly as Stormdust's body ballooned out while morphing into a fantastical creature.
Brilliant golden wings bloomed from his back as his body turned beastial, his body expanding to be over a million light years in diameter as his face became pristinely draconic while still holding the features of Stormdust!
To the sides of the draconic jaws, menacing golden tusks rose in a shocking fashion as elephantine features similar to a certain existence bloomed- this mixture of Primordial Beast and human releasing a dark crimson aura as its jaws opened while bellowing out gloriously.
"ROAAAR!"
A roar that shook the entire Cosmic Battlefield.
Power that even caused Springforge and Halcyon to frown as Forefathers in the surroundings felt an oppressive pressure!
Yet towards this, Noah's kingly figure only rose his head higher as with a devilish smile, his Throne of Tyranny floated forward while his voice echoed out grandly.
"Let's go!"
WAA!
