Chapter 2188 Do You Know Who You Are? II

<I will tell you now that the result...will be the same as before.>

...!

Confidence.

This was the feeling emanating from The Quantum Emperor as he stared at the visage of the True Emperor of Quintessence that gave off waves of Quantum Essence!

It was a Confidence that was backed by a strength only he fully understood, and it was why a personage like him could keep his cool even at such a juncture.

Withstanding the grandeur of the True Emperor before him who had begun to smile devilishly, CONSTANTINE continued while nodding.

<I'll give credit where it's due. You're a genius to have achieved Quintessential feats amidst all this and even exceed what I have, but that's it. Even with all that you have achieved, it will not be enough. You may have the True Authority of Quintessence, but so what? You saw True Empress Katya who has the True Authority of Karma. Or True Emperor Hideyoshi with the True Authority of Fate. But...they are just that.>

<Your path is illustrious now and in these Barren Lands, but outside of it...you will not be able to survive, O True Emperor of Quintessence.>

BOOM!

As if he was giving a verdict.

As if his words were the very Natural Laws!

A unique authority raged around him in the form of the construct that granted him the confidence he had!

But even in the face of this, the devilish smile on the True Emperor of Quintessence became ever deeper as he placed his hands behind his back while floating closer towards the Quantum Emperor.

"Do you know who you are, Constantine?"

He asked this question nonchalantly as he appeared right in front of the Quantum Emperor in an instant.

The two were inches apart as the authorities around them surged, the body of the Quantum Dimensional Chassis Alone beginning to release shocking waves of pressure as they showed the Foundation that could defend against and receive 100 Aeonic Damage Values with ease!

A level of damage that this being before him could not even come close to withstanding!

So the devilish smile on Noah widened as he continued.

"What you are is a blip on a glorious path. An extra that isn't even all that well developed. You'll appear and make some inconsequential waves, and then you'll disappear just as quickly. Only to be forgotten a few pages later."

WAA!

His words were damning as a terrifying authority bloomed.

It wasn't something profound or abstruse, and it was even attached to the last word that the True Emperor of Quintessence said next!

"You are [nothing]."

BOOM!

The word [Nothing] was coated with a wave of Haki.

A flash of the Soul of the True Emperor of this Age that could release 25 Aeonic Soul Damage Values in an instant!

And something that utterly eviscerated everything before Noah's eyes as the light within the Quantum Emperor dimmed first, and then his body exploded into countless dredges of dust while a white gold heart became the only thing that remained!

<...>

It was an unbelievable and shocking show of dominance as in a matter of days, Noah had risen from moving in the dark and being wary of the most powerful beings in the Desolate Mausoleum...only to now be capable of killing one of them with a mere shout.

This was Quintessence.

This was why he became the True Emperor of this Age!

SHAA!

His hand reached out to forcefully grasp the white gold Heart of Fortune into his hands, and he had to do this forcefully because its current owner...was shockingly still not considered dead.

As Noah forcefully pulled the Heart of Fate from the position it floated in, the dredges of dust that were the Quantum Emperor began to collect and reform the body right where it stood before seamlessly returning him to exactly how he was before Noah's Haki ravaged everything!

...!

The reason for his confidence.

The power behind his construct!

<While I may not be fully sure how your Construct became considered Quintessential, the construct I have that you scoff at is something that exceeds these Desolate Lands. I have no qualms enlightening you on it as it is something that at its core...holds wisps of one of the Boundaries that allowed the Ancestors to stand against the NOBLESSE outside these lands.>

WAA!

Yes!

CONSTANTINE's Construct did not have a Natural Law or Decreta behind it as it had a Boundary- and a particularly ridiculous one at that at its foundation as this was what he had received from his Lineage on top of the treasures required to forge it!

<It is the Boundary of IMMORTALITY. A Boundary that stood against the Tyranny of NOBLESSE...and one that I mixed with a Fundamental Natural Law that very few existences Across the Ages have grasped in the Barren Lands.>

As he stood inches away from the True Emperor of Quintessence with his reformed body, he stared at the Heart of Fate struggling in the hands of this being as he thought of his own achievements.

How he had studied the Parallel Paths so much that he was able to catch a glimpse of and attain...the Fundamental Natural Law of Continuity.

What kept the cycles of Ages going and what even placed itself as the regulator of the myriad of Parallel Paths and branching Realities.

Continuity!

He paired this achievement of his with a construct born from the inscription of the Boundary of IMMORTALITY that someone from his Lineage sent down, and the result was the Construct of Immutability.

Where he gained a state that was incapable of being changed by others!

His life and death...could not be dictated by them as even if they released enough damage to desegregate and erase everything about him, he would return back to the state he was in and remain unchanged.

This was something that could not be altered or bypassed unless someone had utilized a Boundary nearing IMMORTALITY in power!

CONSTANTINE may have been worried if it was the existence who had released the VOID around them as there were too many unknowns with such a being, but a True Emperor who was still so closely interlinked with Natural Laws?

The Quantum Emperor shook his head while returning a dominant smile of an Emperor of his own right towards the True Emperor before him.

<If you had sided with the Ancestors and attained a wisp of a Boundary, maybe you would have had the chance to oppose me. But as you are now...nothing you have will be able to even erase me.>

Inches from each other, two Emperors floated.

The regality and grandeur around them was baffling as the one who emanated the most glory as the True Emperor had the ends of his lips curving up in an even more devilish fashion, his voice callous as his body began to ebb and flow with a blinding gold light!

"As I said, you are merely an extra that has already taken up too many pages."

WAA!

An authority began to blare forth gloriously from Noah.

It was something far and above anything he had utilized before.

It wasn't an Edict, Decreta, or a Natural Law.

It was....a Boundary.
