A Cosmic Banquet! IV
A Cosmic Banquet! IV
Noah with his white and gold suit as his eyes released a wild light of power, and to his right and left were multiple women that would be considered beautiful under any measures. The first one to his right had vibrant blue hair dancing to her shoulders, a blue and white dress that matched her hair hugging her body tightly as the Ice Queen gazed at everything with a calm gaze.
Beside Adelaide, a figure shorter than her by a few inches adorned a black dress, the expression on Barbatos sharp as this dress looked more gothic than formal with a portion of it being open to reveal her fair stomach.
Besides Barbatos was the regal and poised figure of Athena, this War Princess adorned in a golden dress that seemed to constantly weave into different colors if looked under a different light. Then we came to Noah's left side where the queenly figure of Valentina could be seen wrapped in a beautiful white dress, her eyes seemingly holding years of wisdom!
Valentina was accompanied by Elena, Anna, and Tiamat as Elena had a glimmering crimson dress the color of blood and Anna wore a vibrant green dress, the Queen Dowager adorning a fiery dress that seemed to burn with flames even now.
These were just those that stood beside Noah, behind him being over a dozen beings also dressed in sleek suits, the figure of the Emperor Penguin with his bow tie and sleek golden suit being accompanied with a bobbing slime beside it and other subordinates from Noah's group being especially prominent!
Aside from Kazuhiko and Steel Mikhail, ones worthy of noting was the Oathkeeper who was dressed in a light gold suit, his figure looking like a past advisor of a king as beside him were the figures of King Augustus and his daughter, Lexis Marcus Tiberius whose eyes were constantly looking at the women around Noah with envy.
This was the party Noah had brought to the banquet after he finished acclimating and collecting information in the past hours, his feet stepping off of the Primordial Scaffolding and moving towards the Haventower Bridge as all those around him moved in conjunction.
The figure of Princess Halcyon shone just as bright as the gorgeous women around Noah, and this was shown even more so in her demeanor as she gave a light nod of recognition to all of them before her eyes settled on Noah.
"Daolord Osmont…we welcome you to our humble abode. Please, let me escort you to the core of the festivities."
Her dress glimmered in the light as when everyone was on the Haventower Bridge guiding to the Golden Citadel, Princess Halcyon overtook the conversation while talking about everything to do with this universe and the Propitious Cosmos it was in, the figures of Noah and his people walking on the middle of the grand Haventower bridge as Antiquities and a few Daolords bowed their heads to them on the side!
It was a show of respect very few had received, and it showed the attitude of the prideful House of Havenbreaker as it seemed to rope in Noah…they were prepared for many things.
THRUM!
But before the procession could continue any further, the powerful auras of numerous other beings flashed from the Primordial Scaffolding, Princess Halcyon and the others stopping on their tracks as when they turned their heads to see, the figures of Forefather Isaac from the House of Springforge accompanied by Daolord Azazel and a few others had made their appearance.
Along with them, multiple Daolords and Antiquities from the House of Stormdust adorned in a variety of red garments appeared, their gazes that of false smiles as they were led by someone at the level of a Forefather…but it was a female who released billowing waves of power and not Forefather Julius!
Princess Halcyon's gaze turned sharp as her voice echoed out at their intrusion.
"It is always great to welcome more guests, even if it is those uninvited."
…!
Her words were biting as Forefather Isaac laughed brightly while waving them off, the female Foremother smiling beautifully as she spoke in a sonorous voice.
"I hope Sis Halcyon won't mind. As the protectors of the Bastion of Reality, we hoped we could all be here to welcome Daolord Osmont." With eyes full of smiles and schemes, the woman known as Foremother Rose spoke as Halcyon only returned her words with a light smile.
Her gaze, as it had been this whole time, remained on Noah as they continued to move.
"Please, let me introduce you to the Golden Citadel…"
The procession continued as with a treatment meant for kings, Noah was led through one of the core locations of a House within the Primordial Empire.

A Banquet of this level was something grand that very few would have a chance of experiencing, Noah and the others not letting their awe show on their faces as they stepped off from the Haventower Bridge and entered the castle that was known as the Primal Heaventower itself.
This structure was light years large as the figures of Noah and all others that were the size of galaxies created for a fantastical scene when looked at a distance, a scene of ancient giants the size of galaxies walking within the golden halls of exquisite structures!
Everything within had to fit the proportions of sizes, going from the plates to the exquisite golden cups that carried glistening drinks and meats that only few could enjoy. All of them were currently ushered into a vast banquet hall lined with thousands of tables and seats, a portion of it empty as it served as the ballroom where exquisite dances would occasionally be carried out.
There was a harmonious tune playing throughout the Primal Heaventower as an Antiquity was playing on an enormous Piano, multiple Hegemonies all around him carrying a myriad of instruments as the calming tune they played echoed throughout.
With lavish golden cups in hand, Noah and the others were talking amongst themselves as the Antiquities and Daolords of the three Houses surrounded them, occasionally grabbing the glistening foods carried on huge platters that Hegemonies were carrying to the guests within the Banquet.
Princess Halcyon remained near Noah's group the whole time playing the host as she allowed and created a smooth atmosphere, the music within the banquet hall picking up to a different and faster tune as some Antiquities from the House of Havenbreaker lit up and formed pairs, beginning to stroll towards the empty ballroom.
The eyes of Princess Halcyon lit up brightly at this time as her fair hand reached towards Noah, giving an apologetic glance towards the women beside him as she spoke out.
"If I may have you for a dance, Daolord Osmont…"
With eyes flashing with unknown power and thoughts Noah looked at the raised brows of the women around him as with a light nod from Adelaide, he took the hand of the powerful Princess Halcyon and went towards the glimmering ballroom in the distance!
