[Claim Reward x3!]
____
"The Lord." Alexandria muttered.
She understood that there was existence much powerful than she could ever even perceive.
A creature that held so much power it would forever be above her.
And she had long accepted it.
After all, if it took her less than a few million years to evolve a bloodline capable of overtaking realities, turning her into an omnipotent god within them…
There was bound to be a creature that had lived for thousands of eras that had reached a point she could only dream of.
"I thank you, my benefactor." She clasped her hands together, "Claim Rewards." A bright light flashed in the space in front of her.
{You have received, 10 [Fragments of Heart]!}
{You have received, 1 [Escape Card]!}
{You have received 10% comprehension in the [Quasi-Deified Law of The Primordial]!}
{You have passed the first threshold of Law comprehension! A Nomological Ecriture of The Primordial has formed within your existence.}
Alexandria's eyes nearly popped out of her skull.
"A Quasi-Deified Law?!" She yelled, her jaw agape.
"It took me millions of years to formulate a single Quasi-Deified Law while deducing the Asier race. Yet, I've been gifted one like its nothing!" She said, opening her system and reading through two of her most powerful weapons.
|Quasi-Deified Law of Nonexistence|
-|Nomological Ecritures: 2/9|
[Information]: The Law of Nonexistence is reality-shattering concept that allows one to completely ignore the rules. As the holder of the [Quasi-Deified Law of Nonexistence], you're capable of erasing all traces of your existence, and masking it perfectly. As long as another does not exceed your realm by 2 levels, they will be unable to perceive you unless you will it. As a [Quasi-Deified law], this Law belongs to its original holder, and will be lost upon their death.
____
|Quasi-Deified Law of The Primordial|
-|Nomological Ecritures: 1/9|
[Information]: The Law of the Primordial is reality-shattering concept that allows one to completely ignore the rules. As long as an existence is of a younger age then the user, and not surpassing their realm by 3 levels, they will be unable to damage or affect the user's Aspect in any way. As the user ages, their Aspect will naturally evolve.
____
Alexandria couldn't help but drop to a knee.
This Law was much powerful than her own!
It was mind shattering!
As an age old existence, she naturally understood how Laws functioned, both Natural Laws and False laws.
Natural Laws were the Rules of Reality that were produced naturally over the ages. They were incredibly powerful, and were what kept realities stable.
Laws like the Law of Matter, the Law of Life, powerful concepts that were incredibly hard to grasp.
Though once they were understood, one would be able to utilize these Laws and integrate them into their existence.
Integrating the law of life meant you would gain access to its principles.
You would be able to produce life as easy as snapping your fingers, but taking it would result in backlash. The more life you produced, or replenished, the easier it would be for you to control the essence, and the quicker you could evolve your Aspect.
As for the False, Ranked Laws, they were artificially created, solely to defy the Natural Laws.
The False Law of Age, was created to combat the immortality naturally provided by the Law of Life. It was a False Law that was often integrated into realities.
With this Law, the comprehender could completely understand the concept of age, and manipulate another's life essence.
They could cause then to age in but an instant, making them grow old, or even making them younger.
It was a powerful Taboo Law.
But, for these new Deified Laws…
It was as if they belonged to an entirely different category.
Deified Laws were concepts you could seamlessly integrate into a reality, even it was an incompatible Law that would normally destroy the stability of a reality.
The Law would be integrated, and only pertain to the holder of the Law!
That meant, for Alexandria and the Law of Nonexistence she integrated, she was the only existence the Law pertained to!
She could perfectly hover between existence and nonexistence.
Not a single being would be able to defy this Broken Law, unless they had a complete Deified Law.
It was like creating a brand new Law of Reality just for the benefit of yourself!
Hence why she took on the term, Broken Law.
Though the difficult part about Deified Laws was forming their [Nomological Ecritures]. To completely integrate a law into a Reality, one has to assimilate 3 Nomological Ecritures within their aspect, and 6 within the Reality itself.
As of now, Alexandria had chosen to integrate one Ecriture within her Aspect, and one within the fabric of reality.
Being a Law that allowed for an existence to become nonexistent, it hadn't appeared within the universes data, and the Primordial Sage had never been aware it was existing.
"Considering I'm sure im one of the few existences capable of accelerating time to the degree of millions of years per day… I have to be one of the oldest and strongest beings within this Reality!" Alexandria exclaimed.
It seemed she was definitely one of the strongest people in the entirety of the reality!
It was at this moment, in which she was relishing in her newfound power, where she felt Fate darken.
Her senses became muddled, and her vision turned almost pitch black, Fate screaming into her ears.
"Level 14!" It said.
"Level 14!"
It screeched into her ears repetitively as she felt Reality shake.
Her senses returned to her for a moment, feeling 5 heaven-shattering existences enter the bounds of the Apocrpyhal Domain.
"Level 14?!?" Alexandria choked, her eyes darkening as she felt 10 more Level 13 existences enter alongside them.
"I cannot wait any longer." She said with a blank expression, Bloodline essence manifesting before her.
She had long assimilated the Law of Bloodline, and she had finally decided to step into the 14th level.
"[Cosmic Bloodline Affirmation: Asier]." Reality shook even more, the [Veil of Nonexistence] covering Alexandria's material universe, fluttering.
…
…
…
At the edges of the Apocryphal Domain…
"The Habitable Zone actually has a level 14?" Jack mumbled, looking back towards the 4 following behind him.
"Well, it has one now. It was obvious this existence wasn't planning on breaking through anytime soon as they didn't completely mask their elevation in realm." Midas answered.
"It was an, 'In the moment' type of thing." Akatosh confirmed.
"It does not matter, we will shatter this reality. Those who come to stop us are only food to fuel our wrath." Revenant said, his hazy eyes glaring through the bounds of reality.
"It has been hundreds of millions of years since the All-Father has graced us with his presence. If we successfully sunder this realm, who knows what benefits we will receive." The group nodded in agreement to Agustus' words.
"Oh!" Jack exclaimed, gaining the attention of the 4.
"Lookie! Look! Watch!" As he said those words, reality trembled once again, the aura of a level 14 entering their senses.
"Another has ascended?" Midas questioned.
"How intriguing."
"It seems we will face some difficulty." Agustus muttered.
"Difficulty? Difficulty would be a level 15, or even beyond. We have legions of level 12's, and 11's. The amount of level 10's and below under our control is innumerable. Difficulty is not something we are privy to." Revenant spoke, stepping forward.
Yet again, reality shook, the presence of yet another level 14 appearing.
The expressions on the faces of the Eldratic gods dimmed.
"You all know I do not dilly dally, I will be moving out. The Desolate Legion will be moving out with me." Revenant said, reality tearing and a massive battalion of hundreds of trillions of beings appearing.
"Though I am sure of our victory, do not underestimate the opposition. One mistake is the outcome of a battle, you all know this well." With this statement, Revenant and his battalion disappeared into the folds of reality.
"…"
"I'll never understand the magnificence of the All-Father to be able to create such an invincible existence…" Jack muttered.
"The Lord has no limits."
…
…
…
"You all may not have felt the level 14 entities, but I know you felt the presence of the level 13's. The enemy has 10 of them. We only have 6. This alone is enough to show the magnificence of their power. This alone is enough to show that we need to fight with our all, as Fate is not looking bright for us." A golden armored, golden winged, Celestial God speaking to an army of heavenly soldiers.
"Our natural born enemies, have broken free of their shackles, and have entered our realm…. and I can tell you all, from the memories buried deep within my existence, these creatures are demons of apocalypse." The knight spoke.
"Just one of these low ranking creatures is enough to poison this reality. Do not take this lightly."
"Yes Celestial God!" The armies yelled.
"We are moving."
Thousands of portals opened, the armies marching through.
"This is the end." Tyr mumbled, stamping his sword into the ground.
…
…
…
"You are all my people! My people will experience no fear! My people do not know defeat! My people win!" A young, white haired man, with eyes glowing gold sat on a pile of corpses, projecting himself to quadrillions of people.
"Those of the Atleasian Dynasty are Gods among mortals! I, Julius Randell, vow to you my people, that we will not lose this battle!" The aura of a level 14 was emanating off of his existence, blooding swords hovering over him.
"All within the bounds of existence will fall under our banner!" He yelled, pride swelling up within all of his people.
"We will win!" His people chanted.
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
…
…
…
"The prelude to apocalypse." She said.
"Fate is ever changing, and I am the only one that can see the true outcome…"
"There will be no victors in the end."
Alexandria's face dimmed, her eyes darting back and forth as she examined Fate.
"Not unless I do something about it."
…
…
…
Watching the perspective of all these beings, Spawn could not help but smile.
Chaos was soon to break out, and both Spawn and Sage were watching on with interest.
Sage was clueless, being completely incapable of divining the outcome.
While Spawn, simply did not wish to do so.
"I can tell you that no matter what, the outcome will surely be something we do not expect." He said, a devious smile plastered on his face.
"How interesting!"
