The Nomological Edict of Cessation! I
The Nomological Edict of Cessation! I
"This is a hidden Realm in another Cosmos with the Primordial Empire, a place that I found a few millions years back that always made what I was seeing easier."
Halcyon's voice rang out as Noah took in everything around him while speaking out straightforwardly.
"What you were seeing? That's how you knew of the assassination? You can see the future?"
WAA!
His figure floated in the glimmering space of this Realm that was suffused with gold all around, Halcyon looking at him with a smile as she replied while shaking her head.
"Yes...and no. I cannot see the future, not actively anyways. I have only been shown instances in time or found myself rambling incoherent things that I would only come to understand later."
These shocking words were released simply as Noah turned to really stare at this being. Many thoughts ran through his mind as she wondered what her goal was, and he didn't hold back as he asked exactly that.
"Seeing glimpses of the future or not...what exactly do you want, Halcyon?"
His eyes released an enticing light as he asked, his aura becoming domineering at this moment as unconsciously, his Primordial Ruination Clone received feedback from the Universal Body as within its manifested Origin, the visible number of 600 something Universes instantly increased as 1000 more were reflected a second later!
RUMBLE!
Such a dominant scene was reflected on Halcyon's eyes as her brows unconsciously shook, but before she could even reply...she saw another 1000 Universes appear briefly as if it was a Mirage...and then these Universes disappeared before she continued to observe tens of Universes blooming within Noah's manifested Origin thereafter.
To explain exactly what she had seen- Noah had devoured ridiculous amounts of essence from the Primordial Hearts in the Ruination Realm that had the time ratio of 1000:1, and such a scene reflected the instances birth of a thousand Splendiferous Universes in one second and another thousand in another...before this latter one thousand disappeared as within Noah's Origin, they had currently begun to burn for the sacrifice of a Nomological Edict!
In the middle of this conversation with Halcyon, he was actually elevating his power and finishing his design of a Nomological Edict as the woman before him was only able to see a reflection of heat he was doing!
Countless Universes bloomed and faded in his Origin so rapidly that Halcyon wondered whether to trust her eyes with anything when it came to this being.
His eyes were currently locked onto her as they made her feel like she was at the center of everything, but she knew this was just an effect of being stared at by someone like him and shook it off as she refocused!
It didn't matter what fantastical scene she would observe on him. She had to first reach a level of understanding with him...she had to first let him know what she knew.
Nothing else could be entertained before then.
She let out a light breath as she forced herself not to ask why hundreds of Universes were blooming within his Origin, her voice ringing out calmly as she didn't answer his question of what he wanted, and instead spoke of something else.
"Daolord Osmont...do you know how terrifying it is for someone's first memory to be an Apocalypse?"
RUMBLE!
Her golden eyes seemed lost in time and she spoke calmly, gazing towards Noah and yet seemingly gazing at something else light years away as she continued.
"The moment I was born, this was the memory etched into my brain. A memory of stars scattering away as if they were dust. Of entire Galaxies ruptured and combusting into supernovae that linked with each other…"
As she spoke, her hands tinged with essence that came together to form into shapes of dying stars and Galaxies, her words reflecting what was playing out in her hands at this moment.
"A memory of the destruction of entire Universes within a Cosmos, of countless Cosmos bursting into nothingness as eventually...the entire Reality collapsed."
…!
Her golden hair danced on her shoulders as she came a few inches from Noah's shining eyes, her voice trailing off as if stuck in a lullaby.
"The terror I felt as a child...wanting to tell someone but somehow never being able to. The fear...What a memory to have right after one is born, don't you agree?"
Her golden eyes languidly landed on Noah as they were enough to shake any man, but his shining eyes reflected onto hers as they were currently filled with an utterly cold light, his voice echoing out.
"You saw the collapse of Reality?"
"..."
Silence reigned in the surroundings as the liquefied essence of Destiny among many others rolled near their bodies.
Halcyon's gaze locked with Noah's as she seemed to be looking at a distant memory, her eyes filled with sadness as she replied with certainty.
"Yes. I saw the collapse of Reality."
RUMBLE!
Something she saw! And whatever she saw...came to be.
These were the words she repeated before, and this was what she feared the most. That this scene that she saw...would come out to be true.
'But…'
She bit her lips as she looked at the man before her whose eyes were shining like enormous luminous beams of lights.
"There lies a possibility in preventing it."
With a firm gaze she spoke out, fantastical secrets about to be divulged from her at this moment!
---
In the midst of all this, Noah absorbed the shock of what he was hearing as his brain churned with many thoughts, but his Universal Body remained strong with the task of finishing the design of his own Edict.
The lines of different Dao and Law essences that were clustered deep within his Origin were now surrounded by the burning essence of over 1000 Splendiferous Universes, this essence weaving through them along with the Cosmic Dao of Fusion as Noah slowly observed all of the different lines coming together into a single bright one!
The scene of 1000 Splendiferous Universes burning for the sake of this single line was beautiful and devastating at the same time, but Noah knew it was worth it when he stared at this line closely.
A line that wasn't a law or a Dao, but a…
"Nomological Edict…" Noah's eyes were releasing beams of light as his hand reached out, wanting to grasp this fusing line onto himself and as if this line understood so, it began to tremble and shake as the essence of Fusion fully wrapped around it, making sure everything remained together as it released a final burst of light!
THUMP!
A light so bright that even the golden beams Noah released from his eyes was wiped away, this light dying down to show the glimmer of a singular silver crimson line that rapidly pulsed within Noah's Origin as this line- this Edict, sank into this Origin and soul as it branded itself unto it powerfully!
Ah!
As Noah felt an eruption of light and power bathe him throughout, his Universal Body couldn't help but release a resounding bellow that caused pure light to erupt from his mouth and shoot upwards.
Pure light that shone with a silver crimson glow- this light going on to erase the space it tore across as when Noah came to in the Ruination Realm, he saw a blank void trying to heal and etch itself together unsuccessfully, this torn void running for tens of thousands of light years!
The damage was so horrendous and destructive that the natural Realm which would heal in seconds found it difficult to heal from this injury as it did it slowly.
Noah adopted an apologetic expression as he patted the space of this torn void, his Origin buzzing as a flood of mana coursed from him and entered the Cosmic Treasure, essence being mobilized in full as the torn portion of the unique Ruination Realm that became this way from his mere bellow began to heal.
<
The voice of his Cosmic Treasure and Core rang out in his mind at the same time as he nodded with a smile, watching the torn fracture heal entirely as he sensed for the essence that had torn it apart.
The essence that was a successful cluster of many daos and Laws that he would term...
"Cessation."
THRUM!
