Disbelief.
This was just one of the myriad of emotions Forefather Julius and the Primordial Beasts were feeling- and how could they not be in disbelief when you reality that should have played out before their eyes happened in the exact opposite fashion?!
An Existence brought into Pandemonium was as good as dead, with one barely being able to tap into their mana reserves to do anything. So why was the being before their eyes seemingly using mana as if he had endless reserves of it?! How could he repetitively and obscenely cast abilities that required the compatibility of many Daos to come to fruition?
It was an obscene reality to see! Simply disgusting what this being was currently doing!
BZZZZT!
Forefather Julius felt the shattering Origins of the three Daolords of his House as his heart was cold, knowing exactly of the terrifying process that they had died of as he was constantly facing it right now.
Terrifying rays of Dao and Law essences tried to degrade his Origin and soul constantly from one end while all around them, Wheels that spun with the unique mixture of The Primordial Dao and Extinction spun crazily to try and break down everything about them.
One or even 5 wheels spinning to constrict them was terrifying enough, but there were dozens of wheels targeting a single person at this moment as this being before them seemed to have endless mana to call forth these ancient wheels!
So each of them were facing constantly restricting forces trying to rip them apart every moment, and they could do nothing but try to defend as trying to manipulate mana to do anything else would result in death.
'Death…' Never in his wildest dreams did Forefather Julius think an existence like him would be looking at this possibility when all of this started!
Him!
A Forefather of the grand Primordial Empire!
But at this moment, all he could do was weave together the essence of a few daos and Laws to edge upon the stage of Edicts- all he could do was protect himself as his Mana was burned up crazily in the process, and he had already begun burning up his Universes for essence as he knew if this situation continued...death was all but at hand.
The question was whether he would be accepting it.
"OOOOOH!"
The bellows of the furious Primordial Beasts and the Tainted Ones above them- Daolords from his house that had chosen to chase for even more power by joining closer to these Beasts...each of them was feeling the ravages of the abilities Osmont laid out upon them as their deaths would come even sooner than Forefather Julius's.
The heart of this old existence was calm even in the face of possible death as he still looked at possibilities to overcome it!
'If I can complete my weaving of the daos...if I can finish forming my Nomological Edict…' In the face of extreme danger and threat of death, Forefather Julius burnt dozens of the over two thousand Universes he still held as his eyes closed serenely.
He tried to do what many beings sought in the midst of deathly battle- to achieve a breakthrough and somehow come out alive on the other side because of it! The only question was whether such a fantasy would become a reality for this old existence!
"ROAAAR!"
The roars of Primordial Beasts continued as their multicolored bodies began to lose their luster, but they were still relentlessly trying to forge a path towards Noah's serene figure.
All of these were tuned out by Forefather Julius as he defended and tried to communicate with the Daos. Coincidentally, Noah was also already in a meditative position with a light smile on his face, sensing the endless casts of The Rays of Time and the Primordial Wheel of Extinction as he saw the constant mixing of Daos and Laws!
He still found no way forward even after he and his clones had played with these very same skills countless times in the Ruination Realm where time moved at a ratio of 1000:1, where Noah couldn't even count how many times he had cast them while trying to find a path forward.
At this point, he wasn't forcing it anymore as he sighed and opened his eyes, glancing at the struggling enemies that were still doing their best to withstand the Endless Rays of Time and the turning of the Primordial Wheels of Extinction.
Towards such a scene, Noah showed a devilish grin as this spamming session reminded him of a particular skill he hadn't cast recently, a skill that should show a ridiculous rate of casting as it was the most easily spammable ability in his arsenal!
'Well, it would be fun to watch Daolords and Primordial Beasts possibly die from a mere...fireball.'
THRUM!
Fireball! An Ability of the lowest rank, but one shouldn't look down upon it as depending on the caster- the results could be vastly different!
When Noah cast it the last few times, the fireballs released were scorching suns that came out like bullets from a getting gun, Noah's boosts on Attack and Cast Speed being terrifying then.
But that was in the past.
At this moment in time, Noah's percentage boosts in Cast and Attack Speed, not to mention the increase in the AOE(Area of Effect) capabilities...it wasn't just terrifying as it had gone into Realm of fantasy.
Cast Speed was just how quickly one manipulated their mana to call forth the desired skill to manifest outwardly, and Attack Speed was how fast this cast ability moved after it materialized.
Area of Effect was merely the zone that the cast ability affected, and it could range from a few meters to even miles depending on the skill!
Just from the percentage boost of the Runic Dao Lines of Annihilation alone, there was a 10 million percent boost to AOE, Cast, and Attack Speed.
Then, Noah had tens of millions of percentage boosts from other Daos and Runic Dao Lines, as well as the ridiculous boost of the Nomological Edict of Samsara that granted +10,000,000% to All Parameters.
All in all....he had terrifying numbers working with him that when he would go ahead to cast fireball, the scene playing out was something that even he would be shaken by!
