Chapter 128 | Akaris
As uneventful as it was, the Quintessential Kainos Emperor granted True Death to the Remnant Will of the Dimensional Deceiver and received an inconceivable amount of loot. The Defeat of the Dimensional Deceiver also contributed to the complete annihilation of the legions of dimensional creatures by the other surviving prodigies. Therefore, the Kun Peng Cataclysm in the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum which could have claimed the lives of future powerhouses from the Main Reality, came to an end. But that was sadly only the beginning as the tumultuous waves of pre-destined chaos were about to sweep throughout the Infinite Realities and the Nine Dimensions.
The eyes that should have been on the Quintessential Kainos Emperor, the limit breaker stemming from the Arch Royal Human Lineage, were now instead focused on a singular being. It wasn't that they didn't acknowledge Alexander King's achievements after the aftermath of a cataclysmic battle, it was just that the enigmatic beautiful man standing aloof like a god emperor, was too eye-catching. An influential genius like Akaris, who held an immense authority that even made those legends of Alpha Strata Realm respectful toward her, knew that the man before her was not someone definable; he was a bottomless abyss! As someone with an Ultima Strata Legend powerhouse as a brother, and stemming from a prosperous bloodline with older existences at both Grotto Haven Realm and above, she knew he wasn't part of any of those realms. And It was just merely a guess. She just hoped that man wouldn't do anything detrimental to the plans of the Primordials. It was better not to mess with an unknown enemy that they didn't have base knowledge about or else... they would surely suffer.
Katelyn was lost in her own thoughts while looking at the new arrival. After losing her dear sister, Nefertiti, she was raking her mind repeatedly to think up ways of resurrection. Resurrection was such an abstruse topic that was rarely touched upon in the Main Reality. Even her identity as a Dimensional Royalty couldn't guarantee the resurrection of her sister's soul remnant. Not everyone was like Osmont who upon dying would resurrect via some bullshit Deus ex machina and Temporal Revival. This was of course something that she didn't know about. All in all, she was determined to turn all dimensions upside down just to save Nefertiti!
Noah saw through her depressed feelings and spoke, startling all the people in the surrounding.
"I can save her but..." His words had an immediate effect on Katelyn as she found her body involuntarily moving toward him with a hopeful look in her pretty eyes.
Katelyn interrupted him before he could continue, "I would do anything. Just state your price." She didn't want any regrets anymore. Her sister's revival plan was a major priority beyond everything else. Would she sell her body to see such a thing come to fruition? Yes but that was only a last resort when all hope was lost.
Noah looked at the immense, strong determination inside her eyes and couldn't help but nod inwardly at her familial love.
He didn't reply and instead, turned his head to the pretentious theatrics of the Irregular named Osmont who was being supported by the Avalonian.
Noah pointed at the protagonist of the Cataclysm, "I can save her but I will not do it since there is a guy more suitable for that job."
Katelyn abruptly turned her gaze to the young man whom she had felt a connection with as dimensional royalty. She didn't know which dimensional he stemmed from but she had a good impression of him as a genius. But she wondered how he would help her with something as difficult as resurrection.
'How Long will you be pretending for?' He talked to Osmont telepathically.
'Y-You know that I am pretending?' Osmont replied foolishly.
'Of course, I know everything. I know that you are currently sorting out your spoils of war. Hmm~ anyway, I see that you are interested in that chick.'
'Sigh, I have always thought of myself as an absolute monster with such an undefinable destiny and arsenal of stupendous skills but you are on a whole 'nother level.'
'I am not going to ask how you know about my interest in that Mirror Dimensional Royalty but yeah, no one can resist the boons granted by her special physique. Why aren't you making a move on her, if I may ask? Not meaning to be judgemental, but you look like the type that picks 'em all.'
Noah felt extremely amused. 'Haha, well, I can't deny how lethal my charm is, to beautiful women. I can easily even steal your lovers even without you knowing.'
Osmont felt annoyed and threatened when he heard that. 'Y-You wouldn't do that, right? I hope it's a very bad joke.'
He had a feeling that the bastard could easily pull off such a thing. Heck, he feared being a cuckold.
Noah decided to ease the little guy's worries. 'Don't worry, I am not petty enough to steal your harem after directly telling you my intentions. I have no particular romantic interest in pitiful lower dimensional existences.'
Osmont felt a stab in his heart. The disdain in his voice was like a knife slicing through his soul. 'Lower dimensional existences? But everyone above the Cosmic Filament Realm is a Higher existence. What could you be talking about?'
The Quintessential Kainos Emperor didn't understand this being with a subtle god complex. It was someone that even his destiny didn't buzz in their presence as if he was some kind of an endpoint.
Noah replied with a chuckle, 'Of course, you wouldn't know. We will talk later. Your time in the Unexplored Grotto Sanctum is up. A domain rift has appeared.'
'That stingy bastard!' Osmont cussed under his breath while shrugging off Ezekiel's support.
He then went to talk to Katelyn while acting as the head of the geniuses due to his overwhelming contribution during the Kun Peng Cataclysm.
"I am curious to know why you seem to be interested in that limit breaker.' A valiant yet calm voice interrupted Noah's thoughts as he was blankly observing the leading figures of Osmont and Katelyn as they exited through the domain rift
Noah turned his head to the side and was met by the sharp eyes of a golden-haired woman.
She was dressed in tight battle armor that emphasized her alluring figure yet that was not what stood out the most.
It was her bearing that screamed of royalty; majestic and inviolable.
"What do you need from me, Akaris?" Noah's Will asked coolly with a prince-charming kind of smile adorned on his lips.
Akaris was blown away and mesmerized by that smile for a moment. She couldn't find the power to resist such an all-out attack from him.
"You have been staring for so long. You will make me shy if you look at me with those sharp hungry eyes." Noah teased her.
Akaris was extremely embarrassed for losing her composure and a healthy blush covered her cheeks.
Her reaction made the surrounding people stare in awe.
Akaris could also behave like that? They couldn't help but wonder.
The image of her in their hearts was that of a serious and valiant figure; stone-faced to the very end.
"Stop playing around and tell me your intentions. Why did descend onto this unexplored Grotto Sanctum that could easily restrict the interference of an Ultima Strata Legend?" Akaris resumed her usually calm face before adamantly asking.
Noah scrunched his nose in slight annoyance. The woman really liked to get her way in everything.
Well, he could understand her upbringing. Her strength was leagues above those of the same generation and her brother was an Ultima Strata Legend. Her prestige and authority in the ranks of Primordials were also already enviable.
Noah decided to play with her. Playing with such a ballsy woman was also a good form of entertainment.
Noah moved closer and held her stubborn chin between her thumb and index finger. His swift actions immediately caught her off guard.
He then gazed deeply into her sharp eyes. His predatory gaze lingered on her lips before moving back to her astounded eyes.
"What will you do if I tell you that I am here to sweep you off your feet?"
'What is this strange feeling?'
'Why is my heart beating so loudly?' Akaris' mind was reeled in by such a seductive provocation.
Her beautiful face was flushed red.
Noah seeing how her thoughts were in disharmony, couldn't help but grin to himself.
Despite living for millions of years, the girl was surely a greenhorn when it came to this kind of thing.
A Primordial Incubus' influence was something irresistible to women.
Noah was just playing around with her. He wasn't in the least interested in courting her.
But the romantic atmosphere around didn't stay for long since...
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO MY SISTER?!"
WAAH!
An Ultima Strata Legend brother didn't like what he was seeing.
How could Aileron allow some bastard to mess around with his little sister?
The representative Aileron had been prepared to calmly voice out his decree concerning the fate of all the outstanding surviving geniuses but when he saw how his usually cold sister blushed like a maiden...
He didn't like it one bit!
