Chapter 3167 The Worms of Existence! IV
The Devouring Worms were a force to be feared.
The forces of the Imperium knew this very well as they did not stay behind after pulling their people out.
Towards the complex swarms of Devouring Worms and even the hazy outline of an even more massive one…nearly all forces were gone in a short period of time as nobody seemed entirely ready to face them yet!
—
Within the Natal Omniverse that Noah knew as home.
In the vastness of the Source of the Imperium.
In a location veiled by layers of space and time, and even the weavings of the Autarchical Omniversal Authority of Aitiologia.
There was a small point of a pure gold singularity that very few held access to.
Within this space.
The auras of powerful Entities buzzing with multicolored radiance could be seen, each one shockingly radiating the aura of Paracosm as all of them without fail…were kneeling down with their knees on a clear gold sea.
The sea was seemingly endless, stretching out into a golden horizon.
Among those on their knees, the figures of Exarch Shavronne and Maligaro could be seen accompanied by other Exarchs in neat rows.
In the next moment, these rows were completed by the arrival of four Entities radiating a colorless brilliance- these Entities also came to kneel at the very front as 5 others were radiating a similar aura!
9 Autarchs.
Behind them, rows of Paracosm Exarchs.
They added up to 81 to make the Pillars of the Imperium as at this moment, they were all gathered and kneeling towards a single direction.
When one looks over here, though, one may see entirely different scenes.
To the common eye on the eyes of the Paracosm Exarchs like Shavronne, they could see absolutely nothing in front of them.
To the eyes of the 9 Autarchs, the outline of an utterly regal being could be seen!
An Entity whose sheer existence was so high that one had to be an Autarch just to be capable of seeing him.
"Naka, the one you referred to as a Young Friend is someone I cannot fully see the weavings or the future of."
…!
His words caused Autarchical Imperium Exarch Naka to kneel down even further as he spoke out sternly.
|If I said anything out of line, I seel your punishment, O Imperium.|
HUUM!
In his face and in his heart, there was only profound reverence and respect as his words held utmost truth!
Yet the figure that only Autarchs could see smiled while waving his hands dismissively.
Of course, they were talking about the way Naka had referred to Noah earlier- everything that had played out before their eyes being something this Entity saw!
|The Lumen Emperor is also someone I couldn't see the weavings of, so it makes sense if his successor is the same way.|
As he spoke about the Lumen Emperor, his face changed to become reflective as he gazed out towards the endless expanse of gold all around them.
His hair flowed gold all the way to his shoulders, his figure slender like a scholar as he was adorned in pure white robes.
His face was one of extreme honor and beauty as he spoke with reminiscence.
"All those years back then after I knew of the terror chasing the Lumen Emperor, I undertook heavy actions to prevent it. For the sake of all living beings. For the sake of the Omniverse, I…"
…!
Golden tears shockingly began to stream on his face.
He looked out onto the golden expanse as he continued while his tears flowed!
"For the sake of the Omniverse, I eradicated countless lives of Lumen. Entire families and clans. I wiped them all out as it was all for a single purpose- to prevent these Worms of Existence from ever finding this Omniverse. And now…all of that death was for naught."
WAA!
Genuine pain seemed to curse through him as he spoke of what he had done!
"All of them have now effectively died for nothing. This reality…burdens me greatly. And now, these unshakable enemies are here. I have been preparing you all as a contingency in case this day ever came…and you all are not yet ready."
|Forgive us, O Imperium!|
All Nine kneeling Autarchs bent even deeper as they felt genuine anger at their own uselessness!
Yet the man only they could see smiled as he spoke with grandiosity.
"No matter, we will get you all ready. The advent of this Noah Osmont, this new Lumen Emperor…is welcome news as it means the old Lumen Emperor didn't die for nothing. He will be like a beacon of light attracting them as this will give us time. And this time…I will use it to ensure that at least you 81 will gain the full capability to go against these Worms of Existence. Otherwise, what I sought to protect all those years ago and what we seek to protect now…will be lost to the weavings of endless nonexistence."
…!
A brilliant golden light flourished.
The Paracosm Exarchs could not see or hear anything, but a shocking intent was transferred across their Lineage as they understood!
"It will be grueling, and since we are accelerating things, it will come at the cost of your own Existences. Are you all willing?"
He was telling supremely powerful existences that they would gain the strength to defeat their enemies in exchange for mortal injuries to their very own Existences!
And yet the Exarchs before him…
|For the Imperium!|
|For the Omniverse!|
HO! HO! HO!
They fearlessly agreed to move forward.
After all, they had to protect what was theirs no matter the cost.
The scholarly-looking man in robes nodded with seriousness as, with his hands behind his back, he gazed out into the vast halcyon horizon once more.
"And I will have to converse with this new Lumen Emperor. For a moment there, I nearly believed he was yet another Outsider delving into our Omniverse."
He nearly believed so!
After all, an Entity nobody had even heard of erupting to the upper echelons of power and status in mere days?
To stand toe to toe with the Sanctus Autarch and even have her seemingly move at his beck and call?
"And for that Eonic Uttera, a true Outsider, to want to talk with you from the weavings of Pompeii…what did he see?"
His gaze could see many things.
As the favored child of the Omniverse, the Greater Omniversal Authorities and Autarchical Omniversal Authorities told him many things!
Even though the Existence of this Entity itself was currently shrouded, his gaze was still deep.
The image of the devilishly handsome man with pairs of colorless wings flashed within his mind again and again as behind him, a formless authority leaked out and wrapped around the 81 Pillars of the Imperium, seeping into the depths of their Existence as something began to be altered!
