Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Within a Primordial Temple in the domain of the Cardinal Royal Wolf Bloodline.

A Seventh Firmament Primordial with an aged look and sparkling white hair spoke into a Medallion as he was being circled by thin golden lines of destiny and karma.

"Sire, we've gotten traces of the one linked to the death of Princess Snow. How many forces shall we dispatch?"

…!

Through the tying of destiny and fate, all the truly heinous criminals on the Primordial Blacklist could be traced down through the workings of Destiny. Primordial Seers were the prestigious beings tasked with such jobs as at this moment, such a Seer picked up on a trace of the one known as Osmont!

The communication Medallion this being held pulsed with light as he waited briefly before a strong message came out.

"Our forces are already spread thin to guard the borders against Primordial Beasts…I shall spare a single Legion. What is the location?"

"Understood, it is…"

The location of a certain clone of the Unnamed Kainos Emperor was set as the bait was ready, and the prey were already assembled and on their way as it was bound to be a fantastical affair!

Far from such events in the Boundary Between Realities- across the walls of Dimensions entirely.

Noah's 1,000th portion of soul had solidified into a body in the Dream Dimension as he waded through its shocking surroundings, everything changing around him constantly as at this moment, he had entered a region that seemed to be swirling with silver sand.

Distinct voices every now and then with no sources, but no structures, existences, or anything!

Just voices that seemed to carry tearing soul attacks as Noah still had no way of finding the unique material <Golden Sand> this whole time, even his astounding destiny pointing to different directions constantly.

That is until…

BZZZT!

A thick storm of dream essence began to coagulate in front of him as the silver sand danced even more chaotically, actually beginning to form into shapes as in the next instant…Noah saw a curved semilunar smile forming!

Then, the round shape of a head and two Jewel-like eyes made entirely of sand along with a nose that told the root of this creature also formed, a devilish and heavy pressure spreading out at this moment as Noah came to a stop.

OOOM!

Thin cerulean blue Runic lines began to emanate light from his body as Runic Ecritures reading <MANA> began to surround him, his eyes releasing a terrifying light as he felt a billowing soul attack come from all sides from the form of what seemed to be like the head of a cat!

An illusory interchangeable head of a cat with a devilish smile formed from the silver sand all around him, and it also came with a will as the curved smile opened to release a mesmerizing voice that could cause any weak Ninth Firmament existences to fall into an eternal slumber.

<A new thing foreign to the Land of Dreams…>

HOOONG!

The billowing waves of soul attack became even stronger as it spoke, Noah's soul beginning to pull from the authority of LETHE as thousands of Units of the Essence of Reality began to bubble, this formed body also blooming out with 20 dazzling Black Tier Ascendancy Halos that came with astounding authority to withstand the coming waves of attacks!

<You have been inflicted with the debuffs of Uncontrollable Slumber, Leaking Soul, Willess…>

<The effects of Uncontrollable Slumber, Leaking Soul, Willess…have been resisted.>

Prompts quantified the surrounding situation as waves of soul damage equivalent to thousands of True Reality Damage Values boomed all around him constantly, Resource Shield and Runic Ecritures of Defense beginning to fully swirl around him as even the Shield of Oblivion was called upon!

But everything that occurred actually caused the appeared devilish creature to smile more as its head twisted upside down, its voice continuing out.

<With such a strong soul and such age, you would do well in the land of dreams. Tell me, what dream do you seek here? What do you wish to accomplish?>

OOOM!

Noah's dazzling eyes faced the billowing attacks as the penetrative skills he had been casting this whole time finally returned with information about this phenomenon before him.

<Nightmare Sand Emperor>:: A nightmare dwelling in the dream dimension. Its nature is unique as it can appear as an existence in the first Firmament of Ascendancy, Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy, or even a Legend depending on the current accumulation of Dreams. It is immune to all physical attacks and can only be hurt by the authority of TABOO, making it a perilous existence to come across in the Dream Dimension. It is currently at the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy as overcoming this existence stand a chance to grant boons…

A Nightmare Sand Emperor that might have even been a LEGEND if Noah had come across it at another time!

His eyes shone luminously as his will bellowed out in return.

"I came to search for Golden Sand…and for anything that the tides of destiny bring!"

WAA!

<For mere treasures? Disappointing.>

The smile on the Nightmare Sand faded and turned into a frown as the soul attacks became increasingly heavier, Noah's 20 Ascendancy Halos beginning to spin around him and giving off an obsidian glow!

<Dreams can make kings and Emperors. Dreams give reason for anything that others do across Realities and dimensions.>

..!

<Your dream is too small…merely some materials. Is this all your soul can achieve? Is this the extent of your Dream?>

BOOOOM!

Billowing silver rays of light shot out from the jewel like eyes of the Nightmare Sand Emperor as Noah felt his very will be tested!

"My Dream?!"

HOOONG!

Bountiful Essence swirled around him as whenever his authority was questioned, his soul unconsciously fought back with even more fervor as from LETHE, <Oblivion> was called upon as Noah felt his soul filling with shocking power, his 20 Black Ascendancy Halos swirling around him and becoming fused briefly as he released a wave of soul attack with his voice.

"My Dream is not something the likes of you can question!"

BZZZT…CRACK!

Like a billowing horn of Apocalypse, his voice shattered outwards and destroyed ant speckles of silver sand in its place!
