2619 Man of the Hour! II
All the battles that had occurred so far when Scions and Elders of Inheritances and Clans stepped into the Vein Rifts had ended the same way.
Complete and utter thrashing as the quality of power was on a completely different scale when the Scions and Elders battled against equivalent Leviathan Lineages that had attained the same stage of Extremity!
One of the main causes behind this was none other than the fact that the Leviathan Lineages all pulsed with the authority of Dissolution.
The authority of the very Haven they stood on and the very authority still spilling out senselessly from the Vein Rift!
Fight after fight, the result was the same as the Scions and Elders wouldn't even last a few moves.
So...when an existence facing a Leviathan pulsing with Dissolution showed off a shocking scene of dominance to the extent that he wasn't even moved back by an attack...many eyes and Wills began to draw over!
Who was he?
What was his level of power? Which Clan or Inheritance did he stem from?!
These questions buzzed as a vast number of wills across the indeterminate light years came to focus on a single Vein Rift that showed off a devilishly handsome man.
He arrived and made all others focus on him.
As if he was the man of the hour!
—
The sensation was indescribable.
When the Earth Saber Smilodon began moving. When flames of Dissolution erupted around its body. When its claws came towards him.
It was immeasurably fast in the eyes of others, but for him...it was so slow!
Just his spread-out will allowed him to see it all as his Foundation which had been absolutely jacked by the First Vacuous Awakening and the First Vitalis Awakening was just this frightening!
While the Smilodon was coming in the span of an instant, Noah was able to lock onto it as his Nine-Pupiled Eyes blazed with gold, even more details now being pulled out when he looked at this creature.

...!
The reason why they outclassed Scions and Elders so much.
From their side, they were calling them Leviathan Lineages as on their end, they were known as the Havenly Lineages!
And the values of a single Entity of the Havenly Smilodon Lineage who had achieved the 16th Boundary Layer is Dissolution was two times compared to a Direct Disciple of a Tier 3 Hyperversal Extremity like Ahpuch who had also only achieved the 16th Layer as his highest.
The Havenly Lineages were powerful!
If Noah had met them just three days ago before the war, maybe he would be on the same boat as other Scions and Elders like today.
But now...
"Get ready."
...!
His voice was calm as he addressed the astounded Earth Saber Smilodon.
His fingers that were clamping down on the claw released and straightened as they all pointed towards the Earth Saber Smilodon, and an instant later...his fingers were retracted to form a fist!
A fist.
Just the formation of a fist!
The pressure of this formed fist thundered forth as in the eyes of others, a blinding cylindrical beam of multicolored light instantly barreled forth!
And yet, it was the authority of the Indefatigable Quintessential Absolute Dynamis of Extremity released from the Reified Wealdian Source of Indefatigable!
ZAA!
The multicolored beam of light disappeared just as quickly as it had erupted.
When it faded, the eyes of the Earth Saber Smilodon before Noah were dim as its long canines were shattered, cracks extending from throughout its inky black body as a number that only Noah could see rose before this beast.
-49,999!
He precisely controlled his output to release a damage value that would leave behind a single Vitality Value on this Entity.
He didn't go for death as there were three terrifying Tier 3 Hyperversal Havenly Beasts right behind this one!
Its body shuddered as golden blood flowed like rivers, immense silence descending in the surroundings as from its body, Noah saw a flash of light be released and flow towards him.
His hand rose to grasp it as it couldn't forcefully make its way into his body unless he allowed it, and after he affirmed there were no issues, it sank in smoothly as a prompt rose!
[You have attained 10 Units of Havenly Aurora!]
...!
When the Maiden of Orientis lost, she had lost a significant portion of her Soul Values as they were even permanently reduced- all of this going towards the victor who had defeated her.
Now after Noah defeated a Havenly Beast, he attained 10 Units of Havenly Aurora!
This unique form of energy was collected into a corner of his soul calmly as when he tried to peer into it...
[The Usage of the Units of Havenly Aurora is currently unknown.]
The information wasn't there.
The reality around him resumed.
The Scions, Elders, and Extremities watching in front of other Vein Rifts had shining eyes as they stared at the unbelievable scene that had just occurred.
For the first time, someone from their side had actually defeated a Leviathan Beast!
In the far distance, in a region where massive vessels and the powerhouses of the Sima Clan were clustered.
The Extremity of Foundation stood behind Erikson and many other Sima Clan Scions as he spoke to his son with a calm gaze.
[You continue to be right about him.]
The words were meant to acknowledge Erikson's foresight, but his expression remained free and unbound as for today's occasion, his beach attire had changed to a shade of orange-red. As if to welcome a setting sun!
He gazed at the figure of Noah in the distance as well as the Vein Rift before the eyes of the Sima Clan.
At this moment, he already began to distort the probability of the events to come as he was ready!
On another side, the figures carrying a sense of despondency and desolation could be seen as they were wrapped in shadows.
The Primeval Shadow Elder Silas and others stood behind Laos, Flashing Shadow, and even the Shadow Extremity Overlord as they also gazed towards Noah!
Their thoughts were hard to read as gazes of maddened rage would occasionally turn towards the region clustering the forces of the Avernus Clan!
Many beings had just begun to react to the shocking first win within a battle to occur on their side as one Scion who had been watching this battle unfold since Noah stepped forward spoke with an incredulous expression as if he had just realized something.
"Wait...did he say his highest Boundary Layer was the 16th?"
...!
Before the battle began, the Haven Saber Smilodon had asked Noah his highest Layer. It was only now that some people who held more information fully processed this as their minds began to pound!
Their eyes became stern as they looked at this being ahead of them.
He wasn't even an Apex Aeonic Lifeform until a few days ago as far as they knew, and he had already taken a Boundary to the 16th Layer?!
This was akin to a prized Scion being given the resources and nurturing of a massive Inheritance or Clan!
So what exactly had this being relied on to bring a Boundary to the 16th Layer?!
"..."
A question that held no answer.
Within the Vein Rift, the Haven Saber Smilodon looked at Noah with a dazzling obsidian light as his voice thundered out while waves of his authority wrapped around the Earth Saber Smilodon Noah had spared to pull it back.
[You have come out victorious and gained entry-]
[Like hell he did!]
..!
BOOM!n//OvelbIn
Before the words of the Haven Saber Smilodon ended, a dazzling allure of Blue erupted out as Hyperversal Haki of Extremity thundered from all directions!
The Adjudicator of Dissolution quickly reacted as she was about to make a move, and yet her hand came to a halt an instant later as she felt no need to.
A maddening flicker of cerulean light was surprised at this, but it continued forward nonetheless as the target was the being emanating not even an ounce of an aura!
And yet before her Hyperversal Haki of Extremity or even her visage came close...
BZZT!
Astounding waves of Hyperversal Extremity Authority of Disintegration seethed as everything was wiped away.
After all, there were three Zenith Tier 3 Hyperversal Extremities just at the forefront of this Vein Rift!
The figure of a woman with snow-white hair adorned in a blue battle dress became clear.
And before her, the glorious visage of a cold-faced Aquatic Eon Dragonfly could be seen- this being the existence that had effortlessly eliminated her Hyperversal Haki of Extremity!
Extremity Blue watched forward and spoke with squinting eyes
[Hey, beastie...] Her expression was calm as she stared at the Zenith Tier 3 Hyperversal Extremity before her.
[Could you move aside just for a second? I just want to put to sleep that guy behind you there, and I'll leave right after...pinky promise!]
Her fair hand reached out as her smallest finger was raised.
The swirling gaze of the Aquatic Eon Dragonfly pulsed as its voice thundered out.
[You may gain passage so long as you are victorious.]
...!
The same words.
Immeasurable grandeur overflowed as behind the Aquatic Eon Dragonfly, Noah's silhouette became bathed in a wondrous light- the Legion of Earth Saber Smilodons before that being parting as they exposed a hazy mist in the distance that hid unknown lands!
