What was Extremity, and just how vast was the breath of such a Realm?
Out of a dozen beings that had reached Extremity, one may be able to overpower the other 11 with a mere glimpse of their eyes.
There was a great gulf between the might of those that had achieved Extremity as no one being could be quantified and placed on a scale compared to others!
An example was how across the Aeonic Annals of Extremity, only a few names of Esteemed Extremity were stretched out through time and passed on as Legends.
The Extremity of Steel and the 81 Armaments of Extremity he forged.
The Plum Sword of Extremity whose name was later taken to stand for an entire Inheritance.
The Extremity of Reality whose grandeur shone brightly in the Extremity Step of the Extremity Vein of Helios.
The Extremity of Death whose mere soul pressure could fracture the souls of the masses and Forge Legions of Apex Aeonic Lifeforms!
These were just some examples as their names were Recorded and passed down through history.
Apart from these, there were the Esteemed Extremity who rose to gain enough accomplishments and power to the extent that they were voted to be Adjudicators of entire Havens.
Their might...was far, far vaster than any common Extremity from the myriad of Inheritances.
They were beings that commonly stemmed from the 7 Clans of Extremity, with only a single existence among the 7 Adjudicators currently not coming from the renowned 7 Clans of Extremity!
The breadth and power of such beings were unfathomable as they had achieved Extremity in more than one concept.
They were walking the path similar to beings like the Extremity of Steel or the Extremity of Reality as they were some of the future pillars of the Seven Aeonic Havens.
The Aura of Extremity of beings such as these...was far purer and majestic compared to any other Esteemed Extremity.
And Noah...and somehow skipped over joining any Aeonic Inheritances of Extremity and going through common regulations to be a Scion that eventually earned the right to cultivate near the Abode of an Esteemed Extremity- a unique opportunity rising and entity grasped by him in the developing Haven of Dissolution as he truly sensed, pondered, and breathed the Aura of Extremity from the very Adjudicator of Dissolution!
If word were to spread...it was unknown what the reaction would be.
But while Noah's main body fundamentally rose higher while breathing in a potent Aura of Extremity, events resumed in the depths of the Abyssal Sanctimonious Lands near the periphery of the Extremity Vein of Dissolution.
The enormous area where hundreds of Scions were frozen and made immovable by an undeniable force was finally released as the emotions of those frozen were roused and vibrant.
The Fiend that had been chasing them down would finally be held accountable!
To kill hundreds of Scions and expect no repercussions?
Laughable!
The eyes of the remaining targeted Scions were hungry to see the disaster that would befall the 8 bodies of this being as the moment they were unfrozen, their Wills spread out to see his state.
Imprisoned? Heavily injured in his very Source? Forced to release an apology towards the Inheritances he offended?
They turned to see his fate with pounding hearts as...
"Huh?"
They saw that nothing happened to the 8 Reified Sources of Extremity.
They simply stopped their chases while gazing at everyone coldly, a few dozen Scions branded with a crimson Infinity symbol falling behind the Vampyre of Extreme Sanguinity as Noah's majestic voice reverberated out.
"The rest of you were saved today as remember this..."
WAA!n0VelusB.c0M
"You may not have known me before, and thus you acted the way you did. Take this as a lesson on how to act in the future no matter who you come across. Let your Inheritances and other scions know...I am Noah Osmont, the True Emperor of Quintessence! Any entity daring to come at me with the intent to kill should expect the same treatment in return. Your Masters will not be able to save you- whether they are Apex Aeonic Lifeforms or those that have attained Extremity. Let this day be the only day of mercy...as I assure you it will not repeat again!"
BOOM!
His voice was resonant as it rang in the ears of all Scions stretched out across the floating obelisks.
In the far distance, a small cluster of Scions from the Church of Perpetual Light gazed forward with grievances as a dashing blonde Scion spoke while looking at the beings under the control of the Vampyre of Extreme Sanguinity.
"And our people that you have dominated the minds of?"
"They are no longer your people."
...!
Noah's reply was sharp as he turned towards this cluster of beings and continued.
"To them, it was either death or domination as their fates chose the latter. If you seek to join them, just attack me with the intent to kill and we can work something out."
"..."
He left no room for any maneuvering as the Inheritances affected had their Scions grit their teeth, their eyes gazing around and above them as they seemingly questioned why this entity was allowed to do and say what he did!
But the pristine aura of Extremity seemed to have already come to a decision as they could only swallow their grievances and continue- their souls already moving into their own distinctive Communication Medallions to let their Inheritances know of what had occurred.
To let them know of Noah Osmont- the Fiend that had released a light of a Dynamis of Extremity and butchered hundreds of Scions with it!
Thereafter, each of them turned into streaks of light that surged towards the direction of the Crimson Extremity Panacea- towards what they were all here for this whole time.
Noah's eyes watched them all calmly as next, he gazed around the many Scions in the distance while voicing out grandly.
"Shadowlings of the Cult of Endless Shadows...come before me."
...!
As he spoke, the Vampyre of Extreme Sanguinity pulled out a dazzling shadowy Runestone that read [Shadows]!
