Chapter 1322 - Did You Know? I
Stormdust released control of his soul and origin as he felt a sense of profound relaxation. His consciousness was in his human form as he felt himself sinking down into the comfortable embrace of a warm endless sea.
Above this endless sea he was sinking in, the scene of what was playing out could be observed above him.
He let loose of his control because he had become much more practical after his recent actions, knowing when to move and step back as at this moment, he knew he had to take a step back if he wanted to leave in one piece!
A Champion of Reality that had ma.s.sacred three Grand Primordial Beasts with ease on one side, and a peculiar existence that had a destiny far exceeding even this Champion of Reality as he spammed powerful abilities filled with the complex weaving of edicts like essence and mana was of no consequence to him.
So Stormdust released control after the voice in his mind resonated for him to do so, but he never expected the feeling of relaxation that would come from it.
"You humans at timesyou crave subjugation."
RUMBLE!
The booming voice of the being that had taken over his mind and body echoed out as a form of a draconic elephantine Primordial Beast appeared beside the warm sea that his soul was floating in.
"That is why you feel that sense of freedomof relaxation. From releasing control and allowing others to lead you, that heavy weight on your shoulder disappears as you find yourself putting that weight and trust onto another."
The shocking figure of Hyperion gazed above the sea where the scenes outside were playing out, his essence wrapping around the consciousness of Stormdust as his voice continued to boom out.
"You can breathe in peace, Betrayer. For I can bear the weight of anything within this Reality."
.!
"For Iam Hyperion!"
-
OOOOOH!
The form of Stormdust underwent a huge change as it became more Elephantine, the draconic features fading off as the golden tusks became more prominent while the draconic body expanded to be even larger!
Noah saw this as he likened what he saw to match more and more closely to Hyperion's real body, the will of this being descending in a shocking fas.h.i.+on at this moment as the eyes of rage that Stormdust normally showed became increasingly cold and impa.s.sive, as if he had turned into someone else entirely.
THRUM!
Around the impa.s.sive eyes, fantastical white flames bloomed as their appearance nearly caused Noah to rise from his throne, these flames now having immense meaning to him as he understood they were the show of fully completed Edict!
The pristine white flames covered the entire form of Stormdust as he released a terrifying aura that didn't match his level, his eyes impa.s.sively staring towards the figure of Aegon as a calm voice echoed from him.
"Come at me, little champion."
!
ZAP!
Before the words from the figure of Stormdust even finished, the glorious form of Aegon appeared from above as with a trace of anger in his expression, he struck down nothing but a punch!
A punch, but Noah's eyes shone as he shockingly saw the wriggling multicolored Runic Dao Lines spread out across the body of Aegon wiggle and come to life, all of these lines crawling on the surface of his skin as they all rushed towards the hand he was throwing out.
As if this being could seamlessly command Runic Dao Lines to do so, they all cl.u.s.tered onto his right hand as they vibrated with wild power, crimson flames beginning to bloom onto this punch as once more- a single being noticed such flames to have a vastly different meaning!
With such might and crimson flames that represented a completed Edict behind him, the punch struck towards the possessed figure of Stormdust as Noah saw not just s.p.a.ce itselfbut the very reality around the area that Aegon was attacking to be breaking.
An attack that altered reality in such a way that it broke a portion of it, such an attack being capable of wiping out any existence body and soul if they were caught in it- unless they had an ability to withstand the effect of Reality inducing attacks!
Towards the collapsing portion of Reality before his eyes, the possessed figure of Stormdust had the white flames around him converge, the elephantine trunk moving out as akin to a Horn, it blew out a shocking trumpet of white flames that melted the coming portion of Shattered Reality!
"..."
Noah watched breathlessly as he absorbed all the knowledge he could, his figure watching expectantly upon his throne as he watched the two strongest contenders of this Reality exchange blows.
The battle was a unique one as it didn't seem like both sides were going out, with each of them doing nothing more than testing the waters of the other.
Hyperion had his own plans, and Aegon had his own as the two sides battled with the Flames of Edicts that granted them their own unique Bloodlines, each of their attacks carrying enough strength as they were capable of causing cracks to spread through Reality itself!
When it came to this, what else could others do but despair?
In the unique mental s.p.a.ce within Stormdust, the soul of this being saw the scene as he continued to sink further into the endless sea around him, shaking his head as he saw the power that Aegon was displaying before his eyes.
"Do not be surprised at such power, Betrayer. Most of it is not even hisand I plan to forge you into something similar."
!
With eyes s.h.i.+ning with dazzling light and goals that were unknown by others, Hyperion's form besides the floating figure of Stormdust continued with a boisterous voice.
"Did you know? The immense power of this Champion stems from a unique weaving of huge reserves of the Essence of Reality, but it is not just that."
"There is a pattern to the weaving. A special method that only the Primordials have managed to play withsomething called a Primordial Epitaph."
RUMBLE!
Words that Stormdust didn't fully understand echoed out, his soul accepting them as they were as the vibrant voice of Hyperion continued.
"Epitaphsah, only Primordials can play and have access to these as unless I dissect Aegon and call down his Master pre-emptively, I have to move in the dark and use you as a guinea pig, Betrayer."
