When entering a battle, the Quintessential Kainos Emperor wasn't just like any other droves that moved to find an enemy to match!
He would gradually make this battle his own as eventually, he would become the Quintessential decider of its pace and result.
For those who knew him, there were results of shock and incredulity.
For those seeing him for the first time, there was also incredulity!
The Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs at the Ultima Strata focused their eyes on him as the massive Gynosphinx was soon accompanied by another two Ultima Strata LEGENDs to focus their wills here.
Seeing such a destructive being on the battlefield, they couldn't let him be.
"Move and protect!"
WAA!
The voice of Representative Aileron boomed out as he saw the target of three Ultima Strata LEGENDs change from Primordial Representatives to Noah, his eyes shining sharply as a massive golden DHARMIC idol rose above him.
It was the form of a humanoid Dragon Phoenix wielding flaming horns of golden splendor that shot out towards the Gynosphinx and others that were surging forward!
But this wasn't all.
Noah's single action had one more far-reaching repercussion as he eradicated Millions of Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs in a single blow.
Far, far in the distance, the massive apparition of the Suzerain Dream Master, The Nightwalker...this being gave a brief glance towards this direction.
Its body was the most massive thing on the battlefield as the 5 Primordial Suzerains matching it in five different directions were still a bit smaller in size.
Obsidian sands surrounded it as it seemed humanoid in nature, and yet the sands constantly moved in forms that reminded one of nightmarish Beasts.
Its apparition was holding a massive constantly changing black sword with jagged stellar edges of Reality, golden sands making its hilt while Obsidian nightmarish sands made its blade.
After gazing at the recent scene and the opposing sea of Primordials, a light of ingenuity and brutality shone within The Nightwalker as he grasped his massive nightmarish sword and called out with a guttural voice.
"Cataclysmic Unity Nightmare Sword."
...!
BZZT!
The massive sword in its hands hummed.
The essence of HERESY surged.
The Decretum of Dreams vibrated and surged as the expression of Suzerain Jiyeon and the others changed!
Behind The Nightwalker, countless forms of flaming black illusory swords bloomed.
Countess swords that in the next instant rushed together to fuse into a single point- forming a massive Obsidian nightmare sword that was one-eighth the size of this whole battlefield!
It aimed at the vast Seas of Primordials opposing the sea of black and gold Dreams and Nightmares.
...!
"Intercept!"
A Suzerain with the form of a massive Willow Tree bellowed out as his body released countless branches of illusory light.
Singularities of seeds constantly bloomed from these branches into dazzling rivers of Realities that surged forward!
Suzerain Jiyeon also bellowed out as a DHARMIC figure of herself manifested above her, her pure fists shining with flames of Reality as they thundered towards the
The 5 Primordial Suzerains moved to intercept such a shocking blow as it would threaten to wipe out a huge cluster of their forces if they couldn't stop it.
The pace of the battle had changed.
The cause of it was a single being as his first action caused things to heat up and force beings to display their most powerful concepts!
Deadly waves of concepts screaming of Natural Laws of Reality and Decretum of Dimensions surged above them as they boasted Damage Values in the Trillions.
This was a battle that the Grotto Haven Suzerains would dominate as if any of them fell, it would decide where victory went.
As their stellar abilities weaved in the skies, Noah's heart felt a fantastical pull.
This was it.
The feeling of battle.
The rush of essence and blood coursing through one's blood as every microsecond counted!
HUUM!
At this juncture, a symphony began to thrum like the beat of a heart.
BOOM...BOOM...BA!
A symphony of horns of battle and the melody of a hero facing insurmountable odds!
...!
The gazes of many nearby beings looked around as defensive skills wrapped around their ears.
Was someone attacking their auditory senses?
The Primordials felt their blood burn and their bodies blaze with power when this symphony vibrated around them.
The Dream and Nightmare LEGENDs instead felt a demoralizing sensation wrap over them in a shocking fashion as truth be told, no side knew what was going on with the newly rising symphony!
The horns of battle resounded out as Noah's blood rushed with even more splendor as he felt even more robust and powerful!
At such a juncture, his figure took on a stance as his left arm swung forward while his right arm pointed back.
His legs took on a mesmerizing stance as he breathed in, essence surging from his surroundings and entering the soles of his feet as they circulated throughout his body.
HUUM!
Vibrant waves of the Essence of the Decretum of Dreams surged around him as they were masked and silent!
But with their movement, a silent wave of HERESY formed.
HERESY!
As two particularly powering Ultima Strata Nightmares came towards him led by a Gynosphinx, Noah's visage flashed as he called out calmly.
"Second Form."
...!
But just what exactly did it entail?!
The First Form of the Quintessential Emperor's Annihilation Techniques was the combining of two skills to produce a multitarget Area of Effect ability with a deadly single chain effect.
Its Damage value wasn't truly amplified that much as for this aspect, we have to turn our eyes towards the Second Form.
When it came to the effects of Skill Succession. Noah could continue the chain of his linked skills, or he could form an entirely new chain if he wished.
For the 3 Linked abilities and 4 Linked abilities, they could be any combination he wished for as after they were born- he could designate them as the Second Form or Third Form!
Since the two linked abilities of Ascendant Severing Soul Star and Assassin Emperor of Severance were 2 linked abilities that made the
This was because 3 Linked abilities cost 100 Million Units of the Essence of Reality while 4 Linked abilities cost 500 Million! So at this point in time, he couldn't utilize 4 Linked abilities even if he made them as these abilities ignored any resource cancelation, reduction, or nullification. They had to be paid in full!
With this in mind, Noah chose three skills for Succession.
It wasn't anything overly complicated.
He kept the initial sequence of Ascendant Severing Soul Star and Assassin Emperor of Severance.
He just...added Fireball.
He just added the REIFIED form of Fireball- the Saintess of Fiery Damnation!
