Bathed in the destructive light of Karma and NULLITY, Noah felt his greatly elevated Innate Dimensional Barrier, Celestial Lich's Armament of Devotion, and the Beacon of Thorny Consecration all burst in an instant.
His thoughts were pristine as the attack had arrived too fast and too powerful to the extent that even Providence had no chance to tell him anything!
It meant that for this moment in time, he could not change fate.
He could not change the path of this True Sanguine Clone.
HOOONG!
Before he could deploy any means against the Pylon of Ascension, a True Empress had crossed vast distances even faster than him and released an attack within a fraction of a nanosecond as the true might of an Ancestral Descendant was displayed.
His true vitality values were instantly drained as well even as bursts of life force and power erupted from him towards the end, but any rapid regeneration was instantly overcome as the flow of space and time began to lull to an extremely slow pace at this juncture.
The True Sanguine Clone's life force was entirely drained as only traces of his source and will remained, Noah calmly accepting this undeniable outcome as he now wanted to see why Providence had shown that a death for this clone would be beneficial. In the frozen moment in time, he saw the massive visage of the Imperial Karmic Scarab move out its Will with precision as what remained of the body of the True Sanguine Clone…became drawn towards her.
More accurately, all that remained of Noah was drawn towards the obsidian crystalline structure that all those that came from the Pylon of Ascension had!
Traces of his source and origin were taken into it as at this moment while the connection was still retained with the main body, a passive ability continued to show its wonders.
It was
His sight changed as everything that remained of the True Sanguine Clone was entirely devoured by the crystalline circular structure!

<....>
Calmness and coldness.
This was what Katya saw as the expansive beam of NULLITY she released faded.
What was left behind…was utmost destruction as no trace of Reality could be seen.
The very fabric of the Quantum Dimension was erased, half of the Quantum Empire erased along with it as when gazing at this all…Katya didn't feel anything.
All Dimensions and the Desolate Mausoleum had to be accelerated towards Cataclysm anyways, with the existences below Nature Integration having no chance of climbing the Pylon of Ascension to leave these Lands!
Now, the Quantum Dimension became the anchor that had the most destruction as the attack of the True Empress covered not just this region, but a third of the whole Dimension.
Massive rifts of Nullity were the only thing left behind as Entropy surged chaotically and with great fervor, a sense of sadness coming down on Katya as she looked at all this, a sigh escaping her lips.
She wasn't a madman. Of course, she felt great pain at the fact that countless lives would be lost across the Barren Lands when they achieved what they sought to achieve!
She had ruled over an entire Age and saw the myriad of races and species across these lands.
This was also her home.
Yet she knew what she had to do.
But it did not mean she took any pleasure in it.
It was only necessary for the sake of all others. Because as many beings as there were in these Barren Lands…the number was incomparable to those outside of it!
The river of time worked differently as even though billions of years had passed over the many cycles and Ages, many more billions of years had passed outside the Barren Lands.
Survival was grueling and hard, but in the many Sanctuaries they had occupied life flourished at a shocking speed.
The number of beings she had to think about were hundreds of times greater in number than those in the Barren Lands!
"The needs of the many…outweigh the few."
She spoke serenely as she stared at the destruction she had caused, sighing in her heart as she looked at the round tool floating around her that had swallowed the remains of the QUINTESSENTIAL DIMENSIONAL EMPEROR.
She wanted to learn about him from these remains, but seeing the urgency in the message of Carciel and just how unreasonable the power that this anomaly displayed, she wanted utmost confidence in achieving their aims as she could not be responsible if things went south- not with something this important!Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
So her will sank into the tool beside her as her Soul illuminated.
Strength achieved over eons rose in waves as it transmitted a fantastical message from the Barren Lands towards a place much, much further.
"Risk assessment has been completed and is deemed Extreme. More Brigades are recommended to descend as soon as possible to cover all of spacetime continuum of the Barren Lands to quickly contain the enemy. Reevaluation of the level of danger is required as there are too many unknowns, with Reality itself exerting a great level of control."
WAA!
A True Empress spoke in such a cold tone as even after seamlessly eradicating Noah's clone, she didn't like how little information she could grasp with Karma as she relayed all of this and put her word and position at risk by stating that the risk was Extreme!
This would mean many more of their forces would have to be pulled out from the battlefront to descend as they would be tainted and weakened by the time they returned, but the consequences of the whole Desolate Mausoleum being unveiled would mean the tainting of all those originating from it as their Sources…all stemmed from this location!
No matter how hard they tried, they could not shatter this link- so they could only suppress it over the eons.
All that they had attained…could not be jeopardized at this moment as it made Katya relay this risk assessment.
She wanted many more bodies covering the Dimensions and Desolate Mausoleum as it seemed the enemy they faced was moving very quickly without giving anyone time.
When Katya came to this thought, her will flowed deeper into her Obsidian crystalline tool to see the remainings of the Quintessential Dimensional Emperor and what they could tell her…when she suddenly saw these remains were still vibrantly active with a consciousness that emanated a profound light of EPOCH!
"You..!"
BOOM!
Her will instantly crushed this light as her expression turned ugly.
An active consciousness had actually remained and gazed at her tool as what exactly did this being learn?!
