Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

2952 The Mantis, the Cicada, and the Oriole! II

The Imperium stated that the Codex was impartial in this as nobody was favored…but very few Archons believed it.

This was why they called the last Contest…the Will of the Imperium.

It may very well be what the Imperium chose if one Archon lost favor with them.

But so long as one won the prior two Contests, the third Contest of the Codex wouldn't even matter!

So it was one's power that was the decider…and one's wealth.

Today, the power and wealth of the Legacies of Al-Abalem and Ignatius would be tested- and it was at the worst time imaginable!

Al-Abalem turned his gaze towards Ignatius as the darkness around this entity was just as obscure.

He then felt his connection with the Codex of Extremity…and observed that in the time wasted to stand before everyone here, the encroachment had only increased.

It meant that the Supernal and Nether Havens of Vitalis connected to the Codex of Extremity were already encroached upon for the most part.

And soon, he had an inkling that the Vacuous Hyperversal Domains would follow if nothing was done.

These dogs were sniffing around his Domain trying to fight for it when at this very moment, there was an infestation eating it up from below!

His eyes were sharp as he spoke out.

I have no issues beginning with the First Contest. But before that, my words were true that as guests…you all came at a bad time. I currently have the Codex of Extremity under my control for this Domain actively in use to take care of something. I need to tend to it as the Rule of Imperium Telos can be carried out after a day at most.

If he had the time, he could take care of it.
