It's just fucking insane at this point.
Haa…I apologize for my improper wording, I really do. Hello, it's the one and only Shadow Guard Night here. I have to take my thoughts out somehow or it feels like I will lose my last shred of common sense, and I just have to describe how insane things just became!
What I'm referring to, of course, is Fealty.
The purely ridiculous and unbelievable Dao of Fealty that grants us a percentage of the Master's power. Such a thing was already ridiculous enough as it is with most of us being given strength equivalent to Daolords, and it became even more ridiculous when the Master continued to rise through power as he left behind any comparable scales for me to even refer to!
The issue in question occurred within the last hours when all of Master's clones disappeared, many of us reacting in surprise and shock before the Cosmic Filament Core calmed us. But after his disappearance…all of us began to feel out Origins receive an outpouring of power that entirely shot past the scale of a Daolord, and I could even remember the moment when I passed the equivalent of a Forefather one would meet in the Primordial Empire.
Forefathers! Beings that had glimpsed Edicts as they were close to fusing these abstruse concepts that I'm currently too dumb to put together, and yet I surpassed them on the pure power I could release by doing absolutely nothing.
It was surreal.
Even now as I gaze up from the Novus Universe and watch the faraway sparring that Kazuhiko and the Sword Emperor were having, I could see their strikes carrying a unique and oppressive energy that was enough to shatter Galaxies that only stemmed from Master.
We all felt the continual and gradual increase in our power from our connection of Fealty, those like me benefitting the most as you see- I played things very smart.
Others put their focus in trying to comprehend as many daos and laws to fuse them into Edicts, but I placed most of my focus on Fealty as I entirely assimilated it like a select few within the Infinite Empire.
The power that I could borrow from the Master…was entirely insane to comprehend that by the time he returned to us and we saw him surrounded by pulsing rays of golden light, I saw that I had achieved a power equivalent or even surpassing what I saw Stormdust display during the final battle we had in the Cosmic Battlefield!
The power exceeded a Faction Head of the Primordial Empire that had lived for millions of years!
It was entirely surreal as I truly wonder what was happening to the scales of power.
I further confirmed my thoughts when I saw Sis Barbatos summon an Undead Legion that contended against the newly arriving Sis Springforge, this green haired Sister looking even more confused than anyone else within the Infinite Empire as she wasn't yet influenced by our broken common sense.
I could still hear the raucous laughter of Sis Barbatos as she stood on top of an Abyssal Undead Qilin while her Legion overwhelmed Sis Springforge even while her body was illuminated with her Dao of Amelioration.
Her strength and my strength that could now unbelievable rival the heads of factions wasn't unique as too many of us had such power. And what continues to ruin my common sense the most is that this is applicable to all those under Master, even if it's with varying degrees.
It meant the elderly that had never been exposed to mana or rose through the ranks of power, but they had answered the call of Fealty from Master…it meant these beings now had strength surpassing a Daolord.
It meant children now had the strength of Daolords!
I'm happy with the restrictions Master put for all of us to not be able to use his power against each other or our surroundings in harmful ways, otherwise entire Galaxies would be exploding just from children playing around.
This was the new Reality that was forming under the Master!
A Reality of countless quintillions of beings within his Infinite Empire boasting strength that an insignificant percentage of something like the Primordial Empire had.
It…was an entirely unbalanced and broken system of power that the Master had purposefully or inadvertently created, and as shocked as I was…I'm loving it!
Haa…that's my venting for the day. I don't know what entry I'll put in my diary next, but it truly just might be when the Master already has the Champion of Reality under his heel…

Apocalypse!
Noah was truly seeking Apocalypse as the clutter of many concepts surrounded him in a maddened fashion, the essence of Blueprints and Runes covering his eyes to break all of these concepts down while the essence of Commandment was ready to rewrite any errors.
This would be the design of the strongest Offensive Edict under his belt as one might find themselves asking why he continued seeking such powerful and stellar paths of power!
The answer was the System he wanted to forge requiring a specific number of completed Edicts he had to meet, and also the realization of how much of an advantage the Primordials had and how far ahead they would be.
The True enemy he was overcoming was not Aegon…with the target that he and Hyperion set being the Primordial Cecilia!
For such a being that was a Higher Existence since birth and had lived for dozens of millions of years, the terrifying power she held had to be countered against something that was currently Noah's strong suit- and that was forging the ranks of Edicts that even she has not been able to so far.
Only after Cecilia was overcome could Noah freely expand his influence across the Cosmos of this Reality as he prepared his Infinite Empire to gain the qualifications to become a Seed of Reality!
The Champion of Reality that she had forged…they would only be an appetizer for Noah as their souls would pave the way for him to understand Systems better and to forge his own with the help of an Ender of Reality soon after!
