Chapter 2245 The Halcyon Plane Of Loot! IV

2245 The Halcyon Plane of Loot! IV

Battles in the Vaults of Extremity were extremely volatile as things could change within an instant.

This was especially so when one came across oddities and mysterious Lineages they had never come across while wading across the Vaults of Extremity, or even the Planar Palisades of Extremity.

Such types of oddities and mysterious existences were given the label of Esoteric Entity!

Something that had unknown abilities, unknown Boundaries, and everything else about it that they had to figure out through their inquisitive Seekers and through battle.

The highest number of casualties for their Legions that weren't in the hands of NOBLESSE were from such Esoteric Entities as one of the most important beings among the Ancestral Lineage...was an Ancestor that through unknown means had gained access to something that was known as the Aeonic Annals of Extremity!

This information seamlessly flashed in the mind of Theseus when he gazed at the unfolding situation around him.

The incomprehensible Planar Domain that was even vaster than the Planar Domain of a NOBLESSE who held an Obsidian Innate Boundary being released by a being who had never even gone across the Planar Palisades of Extremity made Theseus instantly label this being in the same designation as the Esoteric Entities that he and many other Ancestral Legions normally did their best to learn about!

Much about him did not make sense!

And seeing the radiant beams of pillars of golden light surging all around this domain as they erased everything they came across, he posed a great level of danger too.

Another reason for Theseus to instantly label this being an oddity were the vibrant halcyon Treasure chests that littered the golden barrier of this Planar Domain as if they were stars, with the aura of potent treasures beginning to fill these Treasure chests.

What the hell kind of a technique was this?

Since the cast of this domain, Theseus felt the tremendous level of danger as in the face of such pressure...

THUMP!

He felt his heart beat faster.

He felt his blood boil and begin to burn as the countless sword lights filling every single one of his cells were roused and refined under the pressure!

Under this pressure, he could feel the 6th Boundary Layer of the Sword with even more clarity as his Planar Pantheon of the Halcyon Sword became more and more complete, a white gold light flourishing where it was being devoured before.

A sharp smile was etched on the face of Theseus as he burned with white gold light, his figure like a fish flowing through a turbulent sea as he evaded the deadly beams of golden light while surging towards the 9 clones of this Esoteric Entity!

-

A miscalculation.

Desiderius admitted this right away the moment he saw the incomprehensible golden domain encapsulate both his and the Domain of Theseus!

He rarely miscalculated before, but whenever he did...he entirely shifted his mindset.

Because he knew that when one made a single mistake, more mistakes were more than likely to follow.

So his mind brought everything to a halt.

The Obsidian Halos of light surrounding him buzzed and caused his figure to be bathed in this light, his eyes empty of pupils releasing a sharp and ancient light as everything around him stopped!

The surging Stanchions of golden light.

The endless waves of white gold swords.

Everything came to a stop as Desiderius employed one of the most fearsome abilities also contained in the Obsidian Innate Boundary of the VOID.

When he paired it up with the Boundary of CHRONOS, he could move through the emptiness of time in such a way that to him, it was akin to time being stopped!

It heavily drew upon one's Aeonic Soul as when Desiderius called out this ability, it was only in critical moments as he used this stopped instance of time to either reap the life of a powerful enemy, or compute countless thoughts in this instant before he made a move.

And so his thoughts moved as he Innumerable countless possible Paths, his eyes coming to land on the bodies of the 9 Clones of the True Emperor of Quintessence that were staring out towards his and Theseus's direction.

He thought of his mission here and how he wanted to complete it cleanly by eradicating the 9 Minor Planes entirely, and he also thought of the motivations of this being who seemed intent on displacing even this Major Plane itself.

Countless thoughts bloomed as two paths opened up before his eyes- one where he took a step back and another where he dived forward with his power!

But before he could make this decision...

...!

The pupils of the 9 Clones of the True Emperor of Quintessence that should have remained frozen for a little while longer due to his ability...he actually saw them move.

They're filled with a radiant gold light similar to the one covering the vast halcyon domain, Desiderius feeling all these radiant pupils lock onto him as one of his ultimate abilities was pierced through!

<I can see you, Desiderius.>

HUUUM!

The resonant voice of the True Emperor of Quintessence rang out as an even grander halcyon glow spread from his body.

The aura of the potent Boundary that the True Emperor of Quintessence had brought to the 6th Boundary Layer spread out from his eyes and covered all 9 of his bodies, a dense and crackling blue gold flame made of countless singularities also wrapping around them as they looked like 9 blue gold suns that might burn in a unique Plane of Existence!

And then...they took flight as the golden glow of the ecstatic Boundary wrapped around the 9 bodies to form incandescent Stanchions of gold blue light that were brighter than any of the golden pillars of light surging around this halcyon domain!

These 9 bodies began to surge towards Desiderius and Theseus in this frozen time that was all but destroyed, no choice being made on which path to be taken as the True Emperor of Quintessence simply did not give the time for it.

Like 9 torpedoes of golden blue light, his bodies surged around the Halcyon Plane of Loot as he sought to turn everything in it into stellar lights within the laid out Treasure Caches!
