The Living Tribunal, Embodiment Of Law

Standing before Noah was the Living Tribunal, the Abstract Embodiment of the Multiversal Law and Order.

The Overseer of the whole Multiverse.

The Living Tribunal had manifested itself as a golden humanoid cosmic entity with three faces, one on the front, the left side, and the right side of its head.

Each of the faces represented multiple personalities.

It looked just like how Noah remembered from the comics with a circular Cosmic blue glow being emitted from its chest.

'So this is the Entity that is supposed to be the representative of the One Above All,' Noah put one of his hands in his pocket while thinking deeply.

'It isn't weak but...why did the One Above All make the guardian of the multiverse so miserable? In the Cosmic hierarchy, the Living Tribunal is supposed to be the most powerful being only second to its superior, no? But why are there still more powerful beings than him?'

'Aarrgh, it doesn't matter. Why am I even bothered to understand the logic in it?' He shook his head vigorously to clear away those distracting thoughts.

What he had to concern himself with at the moment, was the Abstract Existence in front of him.

"Hey...um, nice to meet you, I guess?" Noah decided to be the first one to start the conversation.

Diplomacy before a fight was a common courtesy if the matter was reconcilable...

"What is the need for greetings from an Outsider like you?" The Living Tribunal replied indifferently, its face apathetic and emotionless.

"Oh, It seems someone is being grumpy. I am honestly sorry for destroying some realities and the fabric of the Multiverse," Noah said jokingly. "Will you forgive me?"

"Hapless Mortal from Beyond, do you think after upsetting the cosmic balance of Multiversal power and threatening the Multiverse, I will let matters slide like that?" The Living Tribunal spoke angrily, and from its eyes, iridescent blue lights were emitted.

"For what you have done, you deserve to be judged by us...and that is eventual eradication!"

"And what if I reset all things to how they were, previously?" Noah smiled at the unresolved Cosmic Entity.

"Mortal from Beyond, it doesn't matter to us as we have already deemed you as an unstable element to the grand calculus of the Multiverse," The Living Tribunal hesitated for a moment, before making its final verdict known.

"Insolent one, returning to cosmic dust is the only option for you."

'So those multiple personalities must discuss amongst themselves to arrive at the final decision? Was it Equity, Vengeance, and Revenge? It honestly reminds me of the Omnitrix and the restrictions it imposed on Alien X,' Noah touched the tip of his nose before finally concentrating on the Living Tribunal.

This time he had a scowl on his face.

"That is bullshit to me, Guardian of the Multiverse!"

"I know about the duty delegated to you by the One Above All...I know all about you, past, present, and future of this whole multiversity."

"I am trying to be civilized here but it seems I am already judged...okay then, I accept that I am guilty!"

The Living Tribunal was omnipresent, and could also see through the past, present, and the future...in short, it was nigh-omniscient.

Despite its nigh-omniscience, it couldn't see through this walking paradox of an Entity!

Without a doubt, they also felt some sense of extreme danger from him.

But that didn't deter the One who Sees all to cower in fear.

Its decree was absolute and the convicted one was supposed to be punished!

"Then to Oblivion, you shall return young beyonder!" The Living Tribunal raised its hand and from the tip of its finger, a star appeared before sending it at Noah.

And that wasn't over yet, it was just the beginning of a powerful cosmic attack.

The Living Tribunal controlled the forces of the universe to instantly accelerate the natural evolution of the star to a supernova!

Thus a barrage of countless supernovas was hurled at Noah.

Noah yawned, "Oh, this is interesting. It seems the Living Tribunal wants to play."

He also raised his finger and from its tip, a cosmic singularity appeared.

The tiny singularity was like a bottomless void, sucking away everything, devouring the supernovas like a glutton.

It didn't take long before the Living Tribunal's attacks were completely nullified.

"Anything else? If not, then let's finish this little bout of ours!" Noah chuckled.

"Your insolence will be your ending. Okay then, impudent mortal, I need no more words to those beneath me!" The Living Tribunal then proceeded to stop all the time in that space, freezing everything to a quantum level.

Apart from Noah, all the other beings were seemingly suspended in a kind of temporal looping.

"Well, I expect nothing else from the Embodiment of the Multiverse. Having the power of Eternity, Infinity, and Death and a large number of the lesser abstract entities is truly efficient, I must say," Noah's voice was heard in the region of stopped time.

"But...playing with time in front of someone who is already beyond it is kind of stupid, you know?" With those words, he was already in front of the Living Tribunal with his fist carving its face inside itself.

BOOM!

The Multiverse trembled!

So they immediately entered a higher conceptual plane of existence that could to the very least prevent the destruction of the Multiverse!

Noah, as an entity who has transcended the very concept of time and space, the speed of his blows was unquestionable, it could be infinite, or even borderline irrelevant!

The Living Tribunal didn't want to be a sitting duck in front of this beyonder...so it immediately manipulated the probability of one of Noah's fists missing.

And miss it did, since, at that moment, Noah's attacks weren't imbued with any form of energy or status Inducement effect.

It was just pure physical power!

A look of surprise appeared on Noah's face...he could already sense what had happened.

But the Living Tribunal didn't want to give Noah the time to continue his cruel assault...It instead took that opportunity and released a terrific cosmic blast from its hand, shooting it at Noah.

This omnidirectional blast was seemingly capable of destroying a reality effortlessly!

"I am the Void...I am everything and nothing, henceforth, all of the existence shall return to me!"

"Begone!"

Noah waved his hand and the Living Tribunal's all-powerful Cosmic blast was fundamentally erased from existence.

This greatly shocked the Living Tribunal as it immediately realized what it was dealing with.

That essence of Greater Erasure!

That essence of non-existence!

It immediately felt dread to its very core.

"Mortal, what relationship do you have with the Abstract Embodiment of Nothingness, Oblivion?" The Living Tribunal couldn't help but ask since it could not deduce the causality of Noah.

"Tch, you tried to deduce the karma around me. It seems you have failed and you want to know my relationship with an Entity who doesn't directly interact with your reality, hmm?" Noah arched a brow at the Living Tribunal and then smiled to himself.

"I have no relation whatsoever to Oblivion because..."

"I am...OBLIVION!"

"THE EMBODIMENT OF THE PRIMAL VOID!"

"BUT...FROM BEYOND."

Of all the Abstract Entities, the Oblivion is the only one that the Living Tribunal feared and had no authority over!

If the Living Tribunal was the Embodiment of the Multiverse, then the Oblivion was the End of it!

"Then that means...you are not a mortal, but a walking void capable of interacting with the Physical reality..."

"This is already beyond all forms of logic and causality!"

The voice of the Living Tribunal could be heard trembling.

"Are you afraid? Fret not, I will not kill you...you will just become part of me!" Noah released a burst of evil laughter as he motioned his hand toward the Living Tribunal.

"Absorb!"

Death trembled, as it felt its eventual end.

The Aspect of Eternal Nothingness negated and consumed everything, even the very concept of Death itself!

The Living Tribunal's end was nigh.

Noah absorbed him, taking everything from him, all of his powers and abilities!

Forever to be erased from the Continuum!

Okay, the One Above All would just create another more powerful one!

Noah chuckled to himself with a satisfied smile on his face. "Au revoir, Guardian of the Multiverse."

"Is there anything that I am forgetting, hmm?" He looked around for a moment before lips curved to form an 'O'.

"Destroyed Realities? Let me return everything to its previous state." Noah then snapped his finger, directing making reality his bitch, and changed everything at a Multiversal level.

Thus, the fabrics of the multiverse were fixed as if nothing had ever happened!

When he arrived back at where the ladies were, he laughed at how they were still frozen in time.

"You guys, how long are you going to keep pretending?"

Xia Qingyue was the first one to resume normalcy. "Haha, he got us."

"We can't fool him, isn't he like some sort of Omniscient big wig...or probably something along those lines?" Shen Xi's voice interjected.

"Hmph, Why didn't you save us this time? If it wasn't for Big Sister Yue'er then...I can't imagine what you would have done with our frozen-in-time bodies!" Caizhi exclaimed with a terrible experience on her cute face as she tightly hugged her petite body.

All the Goddesses laughed at the funny theatrics of the troublemaker Caizhi.

Noah was the only one left speechless.

Was he that lecherous and perverted?

Anyway, he pushed that to the back of his mind.

"Okay, don't you want to experience a sense of modernism? I have already rewritten everything back to its original state."

The Ancestral Goddess's lips sinfully curved into an attractive smile. "Hehe, I can't wait to venture into this 'mortal' world."

The other goddesses also had the same thought.

"The Gods are now descending, fufufu!" Chi Wuyao took one last look at the now-fixed Prime Universe before all of them teleported to Earth.

Modern Earth was going to be truly enjoyable for these female cultivators!
