"This…!"
"I see…!"
These two words were blurted out at the same time between the two beings surrounding a Primordial Epitaph.
They had made headway into what this Runic construct was at its core, and they came to their conclusions nearly at the same time as their eyes shone with a competitive spirit!
Noah had constantly been surrounded by the majestic essence of the Nomological Edict of Commandment, an unseen golden pen always moving within his hands as he altered the narrated reality atop a golden page only he could see.
Whenever the passage spoke of how complex the structure of the Primordial Epitaph was and how someone of his level couldn't discern it, he rewrote the narration to be capable of slowly understanding it as he couldn't outright write the strokes that said: "Noah entirely understood the Primordial Epitaph in and out"!
Such a thing would require the utilization of the Essence of Reality- with Noah only being capable of making this change through
But he achieved a lesser effect of this due to his own power and the Edict of Commandment that had its progression at 100%! If he didn't have this Edict completed, even the simple alterations of Reality would not be possible.
As he did this, Hyperion did something even more domineering as with the usage of the reserves of the Essence of Reality itself, he achieved a similar result!
Out of all the native beings within this Reality, nobody could say they were above the Ender of Reality in terms of their reserves of the Essence of Reality.
So both of them used their means as they came to a conclusion at the same time, Noah looking closely at the Primordial Epitaph as he spoke with confidence and amazement.
"It is not inscribed with the essence of Reality…but small and minute structures made of countless Flames..!"
RUMBLE!
His words were a proclamation of their progress as Hyperion was the one to continue thereafter.
"I've been experimenting on Stormdust by trying to inscribe an Epitaph with the Essence of Reality when this…is actually just the final ingredient."
The Essence of Reality was what came at the end! Before all this, the structure of the Primordial Epitaph was born of…
"Flames of Edicts…multiple Flames of Edicts weaving together into Runes that defined exactly what power the designer intended- the coming together of all of these minuscule flames of Edicts defining the System itself as the Essence of Reality only powered it up!"
WAA!
Yes! They had broken down the Primordial Epitaph before their eyes as the countless weaving of runes were found out to be minuscule structures of things they could only recognize as Flames of Edicts, and the way they weaved around together was capable of defining what the System was and what it could do- with the Essence of Reality coming into play to make it possible.
Systems were born from a combination of a large number of concepts fused into undeniable truths known as Edicts, and these conceptual truths were further put together to simply inscribe the foundation of the System- and only then did the last ingredient to power it up come into play!
Their breakdown of the current Primordial Epitaph before their allowed them to understand it dealt with forcefully binding the wills and origins of dead existences onto oneself, and then numerous Flames of Edicts weaved together to inscribe its other functions such as the fact that one wouldn't require mana to call forth and control the existences bound by the Supreme Necromancer System and many more concepts!
Noah was able to understand this more clearly due to his Dao of Runes and Blueprints- seeing exactly how the bounds of the System were defined as the only problem now was for them to recreate a Primordial Epitaph either their own definitions- and this would give birth to their own Systems!
But…
"We cannot do it."
…!
Noah's gaze turned placid as he was the one to speak out the cold hard truth.
Hyperion's three eyes didn't dim as they shone even brighter at Noah's words, his golden tusks and elephantine trunk rising up madly as he also echoed out, but with an additional word.
"We cannot do it…yet!"
RUMBLE!
They couldn't do it yet!
At their current levels, it wasn't possible as this was the reason why Primordials could grant others their own designed Systems- it was because they made them from their own Flames of Edicts. For the sake of stability and forging a functional Primordial Epitaph, Noah saw that the one before their eyes held no less than 15 Flames.
15 fully completed Edicts!
And it wasn't just that as these Edicts seemed to be closely intermingled with each other as Noah was reminded of what he read from Cecilia's Status sheet.
<<....A Higher Existence that has stepped on the path of consolidating her Flames of Edicts and has already obtained the lowest tier ********* ****...>>
The path of consolidating Flames of Edicts! Whatever product came from this- the "Lowest Tier ********* ****" that was hidden before Noah's eyes…this was what Primordials used to inscribe Primordial Epitaphs onto their Champions!
Hyperion's eyes burned brightly as he gazed towards the illusory Primordial Epitaph before them as he voiced out with an undeniable fashion.
"All that is needed is a minimum of 15 Flames of Edicts…and it can be done!"
Noah listened to his words as his own eyes shone, thinking carefully as the Nomological Edict of Commandment still danced around him, his voice ringing out.
"Primordials have achieved another stage of power as they can meld their Flames of Edicts together to form something fantastical…this 'something' is what they use to form Primordial Epitaphs. But we could possibly do it even without this if we work together!"
WAA!
Yes! They didn't even know how to achieve the blending of 15 Flames of Edicts together when all of them were distinctly different and apart- something far more unique than fusing Daos or Laws into something that combined all of their qualities.
Noah's gaze was filled with a domineering light as his body shone with the unique essence of Commandment once more, the ability of
"How can one meld together Edicts?"
OOOOM!
A shocking question at the root of their problem apart from the fact that they didn't have the 15 required Flames of Edicts! But the Vault of Commandment nonetheless gave an answer.
<
A clear answer. An answer that showed off the heavy shackles they had to break before they could achieve their goals!
