Kapitel 402: The 2nd Step of Exarch
Meanwhile, back at the Baator.
At the same time, literal catastrophe was happening all around the Central Star Region because countless planes were being refined and used as an evolutionary material at the same time, from which many of them still had their local population.
All those were being refined and disintegrated into pure energy particles, and all of that energy was being transferred into the Baator in real-time.
[Evolution of Primary Grade 2 Plane, designation Baator has started.]
[Activting the Dawn Pillar Formation.]
The Architect said, as countless Dawn Pillars that were all around the Baator suddenly activated and started helping the Plane in getting the energy refined and speeding up the evolutionary process of the Plane.
The Dawn Pillars were a really wondrous piece of technology that had countless uses, aside from suppressing the World's Will during the planar invasion.
After more than half an hour, after the Planar Core of the Baator absorbed enough energy from the refined planes, it started violently shaking, cracks appearing around the entire surface of the Core, as the entire Plane started the expansion.
It was a relatively similar phenomenon to what it was before, but now it was more of a larger scale, as the Baator started tremendously expanding, far more than before. Countless energy waves crashed into the Plane as they swept through it several times.
Increasing the Mana Density in the air, increasing the quality of the Plane, which even before was comparable to the Grade 1 Plane standard, because of all resources and methods I sued to cultivate the Plane.
Normally, even a Secondary Grade 2 Plane was of the size Galaxy... that huge they were or rather enormous. Just now, I realized the absurdity of Astral Boundary's size because all planes and everything were freaking huge.
Despite of the relatively low strength of the Astral Boundary Universe, it was far bigger in terms of size; it was bigger than most of the stronger Universes in the Void.
Soon enough, all Layers of the Baator started expanding in the landmass like crazy; practically all of them reached the size standard of the Primary Grade 2 Plane, aside from the 1st Layer of the Baator, Dis, which I purposely controlled to remain at the size of Grade 5 Plane.
Dis was the entrance to the Baator, the only entrance we could be invaded, and even the current size was a hassle to defend if we were not prepared properly, so the expansion of that Layer was the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Contrary to the rest of the Layers, there were practically no civilians on the 1st Layer, only Military personnel, Fortresses, Castles, Arcanotech Constructs, and the fabled Bronze Citadel, which acted all as defense of the Baator.
Because of that, the current size of the 1st Layer was sufficient enough.
As the Baator was evolving Grade 1 Plane, I received the strongest blessing from the World's Will because I helped it to evolve into the Grade 1 Plane. At that moment, I started my breakthrough to the Exarch Rank.
Reaching Exarch Rank was simple but very challenging at the same time. Simple in the thing, which was required, challenging because the process was very arduous. To reach Exarchy, one needed to create Arcane Crest from his Path.
Fortunately for me, that was an easy thing to do because I knew exactly how to create my Arcane Crest, and instantly after I got the blessings from the Baator, which was now Grade 1 Plane, I started the process of the Arcane Crest creation.
[Arcane Crest creation in progress.]
When I started the Arcane Crest creation process, I heard Architect's voice in my head as a translucent crest appeared before my eyes. The process of the Arcane Crest creation was basically using your Path and giving it a "material" shape, one could say.
Paths were always imaginary, they were non-material, but Crests were; that was the aim of that. And because of this aspect, creating the Arcane Crest from your Path was a very arduous thing.
But fortunately for me, I had a complete guide on how to do it and a cheat called Baator's blessing, which significantly eased up my job.
[Demonic-God Force is being increased at tremendous speed... host has crossed the threshold of initial Tier 12 entity.]
[Godhood of Father of the All Devils is absorbing the residual energy.]
[Arcane Crest creation process is completed.]
When I created the Arcane Crest, I was immediately classified as Tier 12. After I finished with the creation of the Arcane Crest, I fused it with my physical body, as it appeared on my back, in the form of a weird runic tattoo...
Aside from being powerful, it looked rather cool.
Arcane Crests were divided into Lesser, Greater, Perfect, and Beyond. The Lesser Crests were those from weaker Paths, based on average Laws. Greater Crests were based on strong paths, sometimes with even some special Laws.
Perfect Crests were from Paths, which were created from Fundamental Laws, which included Laws like Death, Life, Destruction, Creation, and so on... Considering the Perfect Crest was basically the best one could hope for.
And finally, there were so-called Beyond Crests, which were from absolutely unique and special Paths, exactly just like The End. These ones were impossible, and not even Weissmann heard about anybody or read about anybody who managed to achieve that feat.
Usually, these people died on their journey because Universe wasn't really fond of people with Forbidden Paths. I was probably the only exception due to somehow getting the constitution of the Fateless One, which allowed me to be not seen by Universal Will.
Or the Universal Will could predict my own desire to create my own Universe, which would mean I will leave sooner or later, so it didn't bother with me?
Who knows.
After several seconds, I finished my breakthrough to Tier 12; I started some weird stirring in my soul.
Suddenly, only a vision of desolate and lifeless worlds flashes through my eyes, as everything withered and turned to dust, forgotten in its own insignificance. Nothing could escape the crimson wave of the energy, as it changed the fundamental reality.
Be it worthless mortals to Tier 13 entities; nobody could escape it.
"Nothing can evade the Ruination."
I said subconsciously as I awoke my Origin.
