Grabbing the Heart of Reality in her hands, The Empress gazed forward with intense scrutiny at the being stepping into their most sacred and hidden location.
A place that for one- nobody would have even dared to find nor barge in just days ago!
But…too many things had changed in just a matter of days.
From a delicate balance of power between them and Dimensional Rulers, there was now a tremendous imbalance with Ancestral Descendants more powerful than them running around freely.
There were unknown existences rising and exceeding all others in power!
There was the True Emperor of Quintessence that had just risen to power…and this being was the one that had split apart space to appear before them now.
His solidified crown shining with grandeur and Imperial ecritures could be seen as it seemed to be a variation of his bodies, this one shining with a crimson stellar grandeur and giving off waves of Apollyon!
The recent changes these past few days and beings like this made The Empress and other Tribunal Rulers realize that things had rapidly changed out of their favor, and they had to move quickly to finish the plans in the works for too many years.
So when an existence that could cause all of these to crumble appeared…
HUUM!
The Authorities of Althea, Ezekiel, Noah, Gregory, Lombard…all 10 Tribunal Rulers beside her blared their authorities while coming to float in front of The Empress!
Althea grit her teeth as she glared at the existence that had killed Aegon and nearly killed her as she spoke softly to The Empress.
Althea spoke with grandiosity and valor as she saw the lips of the being that had walked into this isolated space curve upwards, his visage floating in serenely as it felt time was moving at a horrifically slow pace!
Althea could not speak for others, but as she was almost killed by this being not too long ago and he had gone to take the True Throne of Quintessence now- his power was no doubt greater as her fate and destiny…it was not the brightest at this moment.
She instinctively felt that she may not survive this!
And the other Tribunal Rulers that had stepped forth with her should also have felt the same!
She wanted to say many more things to The Empress.
She wanted to say that maybe they would all still be there to watch their aims come to fruition, that they would all follow the golden path of Providence onto grander lands.
That they would be in the company of the Great Commander once more and laugh while understanding the intricacies of Nature.
But for now, she could only show her thoughts and dedication by defending her from the being that wanted to destroy everything!
WAA!
Her body and the body of all other Tribunal Rulers illuminated and surged with a unique power as the Pure-Blooded Lineages deep within them were activated, their bodies exploding with Runic Ecritures and waves of NULLITY as they pulled out NULLITY Armaments and caused the surroundings to explode with swathes of Legions of Abominations!
Their numbers exceeded the hundreds of thousands and went to millions as they were meant to stand between the enemy before them and the one they protected!
And all the Tribunal Rulers could still feel the aura of The Empress behind them as even she found it difficult to leave those she knew the most to an unknown fate, the voice of the Eminent Mastermind ringing out at this juncture.
…!
Their Wills burned bright as they knew what had to be done!
And the eyes of The Empress flashed with veiled emotions as she waved her hands behind her, a rift opening as she was about to leave when…
"How touching."
BOOOM!
A cerulean light exploded and covered everything in a circular motion in an instant.
A tinge of gold covered the blazing blue light as they shockingly formed a circular domain, a single Magistracy of the Apocalyptic Blitzkrieg being cast as this Domain…held a foreign authority they had not come across before.
It was the coverage of the Essence of the Boundary of LOOT!
It made the domain of the Blitzkrieg wondrously seem like it cut off the very fabric of Reality itself, this domain being far vaster than any other one's cast before it as it contained all the Legions of Abominations and the Tribunal Rulers that called them out with a singular purpose.
"It is touching that you all would sacrifice yourselves for others, but…nobody may leave here today."
WAA!
The damming words of the True Emperor of Quintessence reverberated out as the rift that The Empress had called our fissured and faded away.
The eyes of all Tribunal Rulers became somber as they blazed with even more authority, an Ancient Tribunal Ruler under the name of Zimmer and holding the visage of an old man speaking out with power at this juncture!
A deeply forged pride of the Tribunals burned in the heart of this being as he spoke.
Althea and the others gripped their NULLITY Armaments tighter as truly…there was no other choice!
SHIING!
At this same time, the Empress brought out a heart shaking silver gray flower.
It was the Primitivus Nullity Originator that released the same blinding light of NULLITY that covered everything just like in the Quantum Dimension!
The Empress brought out an EPOCH Relic as she was backed by 10 Tribunal Rulers and Legions of Abominations- all of their eyes on a single being that continued to float towards them freely!
He was curious of the change in power.
He was curious to see how even as a prominent figure of these Barren Lands pulled out an EPOCH Relic to stand against him with all of the forces of Primordials…how would they react when his body alone had the hardness of an EPOCH III Relic and would not even be touched by their attacks?!
