Chapter Thirty Eight, A New Realm.

Within the vast empty space they called the Astral Sea, Akatosh flew towards a dark black storm cloud, one that snaked around the purple storm clouds he came from.
Despite the cloud not seeming to be too far away, even though he was travelling thousands of times faster than light, it had still taken him well over 10 years for him to even close in on the cloud formation.
"I am close!" He smiled, his speed picking up as he neared his destination.
He could feel turbulent winds and crushing gravity as he approached, and it seemed that his body was being rejected by the storm.
"I was right... this is another reality!" The feeling of rejection was a clear definitive factor.
It was proof that the reality's laws were not the exact same as his home reality.
Taking the brunt of the damage from laws he had not yet encountered...
It only fueled Akatosh's flame, his speed increasing drastically as he shot straight through the storm clouds.
It was half an instant!
Within this small span of time, Akatosh appeared on the other side of the storm, and crashed directly with the reality's wall!
He shot through it's membrane, and prepared himself to fight any creature that would arrive having noticed his presence!
But before he could...
Time slowed to a complete stop!
'This realm is not simple at all.' An ethereal creature thought as trillions of particles of matter erupted from Akatosh's body.
Though of course none could see this.
They were masked nigh perfectly by the ability of the one who had emerged from Akatosh's physique.
Alexandria manifested within this new area. Her perception of time was so quick, that her mind was moving fast enough to perceive time as stopped.
It was quite overpowered...
There was no manipulation of laws, just pure natural ability!
Thankfully her body was able to adapt to this thought speed, she could easily force herself to move under the dilated time.
'The Primordial Conscience has emerged in another reality!' She thought to herself.
With a simple command, her body expanded, countless quantum particles spreading throughout the new reality.
Each molecule entangled with another, comprehending the rules and laws of this foreign reality. Alexandria surged through space, examining and prying at everything she could find.
She used her unimaginable power to read the past, and kept in touch with her growing eyes.
For her, it was nearly half a billion years of constant space travel, her control over every new law reaching perfection as her Quantum Levels rose and fell with the addition of more atoms.
At one point, her Quantum Aspect Level had even reached 14.2...
This showed that all of her body was level fourteen, while twenty percent had stepped into the fifteenth.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
This indicated that this foreign realm was at least 4 times bigger than her home!
"So much... information." She muttered, her conscience expanding fully, becoming present within every inch of her body.
"The [Olden Realm]... A [Primordial Reality] alongside my very own." She whispered in a complete daze.
She had spent the last half a billion years solely expanding her influence throughout the cosmos, not thinking too much.
"A Creator... The Father of everything... The lords of existence!" She exclaimed, inspecting every inch of the newfound reality dubbed, "The Olden Realm".
This reality held droves of information that she wasn't privy too within her reality!
This place was much older than her home, having existed for Eons before the Apocryphal Domain was even a thought.
"The Primordial Realities!" She chuckled, watching as her [Quantum Level] reached a threshold she had yet to cross.
"This Reality is expansive... larger than mine, and there are powerful creatures here that rival the power of Revenant and Julius! If not even stronger..."
"There are more universes within this reality than there are within my origin!... There are level 15 existences like "God" and... "Sakura"!... What a special place! I'm truly lucky to be able to rule over it." She smiled.
Yet, at this moment, something welled up within her aspects of existence.
Her power finally crossed the line as her core soul shook with power.
{Congratulations! You have reached [Quantum Aspect Level 15]!}
{Congratulations! You have instilled yourself within the rules and fabrics of two [Primordial Realities], and one [Average Reality]!}
{You have taken a step further along the path! Another realm has been discovered!}
{You have become a level 16 existence, an [Aeonic Lord]!}
Alexandria didn't focus much of the screens, but more on the power overflowing within her.
She could feel a new authority inside her, a power different from what she was used to!
There was a difference within her entire existence!
"Immortality!" She screamed, shifting the position of both Primordial Realities a few inches.
"True immortality!" She rejoiced, feeling her own presence.
It seemed that upon stepping into the 16th realm, she obtained a sort of natural born right!
She had become invincible...
At such a high realm of power, where you stood on par with realities, you could not be damaged!
She was now privy to an infinite lifespan, and only those of the same realm could truly combat her... A creature of a lesser realm couldn't even touch her! Let alone damage...
But, more importantly, even those of the same realm couldn't damage her! At this stage of existence, death was not the answer.
It was defeat!
Battles within the 16th realm would no longer include death, but would instead revolve around defeat and being conquered!
The reasoning was simple...
"It's like... I am now a law!..." She exclaimed. "I cannot be destroyed, only tampered with by other laws! I can be manipulated by those that stand on par with me... restrained by those more powerful... But I will never be destroyed!"
She was drowning in her newfound power!
She had no clue to what to do with herself...

Lokreum and Kieron watched as Alexandria sneakily infiltrated The Olden Realm.
The two had just finished their game of cards, and almost half a millennia had passed for the inhabitants of the Apocryphal Domain...
With their eyes on the Olden Realm, they were able to see Alexandria barely escape the eyes of the most powerful existences within the reality.
Of course, that was all she needed!
The moment she arrived within the Olden Realm, she once again formed dozens of nomological ecritures of the Lord, and of Nonexistence.
Through this, she had successfully grown in power once again! Ruling over nearly every existence within the two Primordial Realities, and being completely unknown to only a select few.
She could not understand it, but she had run into another existence that she could not fully control. The only other known entity she had this problem with was...
Revenant...
So, seeing she had met another, she was slightly worried about what this would entail...
But, that wasn't an important thought in her mind!
In her mind, she was reveling at the thought of her power being truly reminiscent of her wondrous lords, The All Father and his companion.
Having retained some of the Primordial Sage's personality, Lokreum and Kieron were held in the highest regards in her mind.
As for the two themselves?
"The Apocryphal Domain and the Olden Realm have both matured..." Lokreum muttered. "This is... What do you say to building one more Primordial Reality? But, this time, we start from a smaller scale. We build from the ground up, one civilization at a time." He glanced across the table, still tapping his finger on it.
Kieron on the other hand tried to take his mind off of the thought of his loss, throwing the rest of his cards on the table.
"Why not..." His elbows found their way to the table, his hands scratching the back of his head in utter confusion.
"I don't know why I thought I stood a chance..."
