It seemed as though immense calamity would descend upon the forces that had gathered around the source of their enhancement, that the being responsible for their empowerment would be eliminated before their eyes through methods they possessed no capability to prevent or counter!
But in the next moment, two figures moved with synchronized precision.
The veiled Paradoxical body of Duke Gwendolyn materialized beside the Primordial Death with movements that challenged causality itself, her obsidian armor blazing with authority that made space-time bend around her presence.
Simultaneously, her Living Origin body appeared on the opposite side of the massive creature, brilliant radiance erupting from her form in waves that should have been sufficient to illuminate entire Folds!
Duke Gwendolyn’s philosophical approach to this crisis demonstrated mastery of how opposing forces could be reconciled through will and wisdom.
Her Paradoxical aspect reached out to rewind an inevitable ending...not preventing the Primordial Death’s arrival, but creating a state where its presence existed in quantum superposition between having occurred and remaining theoretical possibility.
At the same moment, her Origin body worked to establish the previous state of existence that had existed before the creature’s arrival, imposing the concept of restoration!
The collision between these opposing interpretations of what should be considered real created a zone of fundamental uncertainty that even the Primordial Death found difficult to navigate.
Its cursed authority, designed to operate within weavings where ending was the only constant, struggled to function effectively in space where beginning and conclusion existed simultaneously.
Under the enhanced capabilities granted by Noah’s Festival of War, Duke Gwendolyn’s combined efforts proved sufficient to push back the Primordial Death, forcing the creature to retreat from its advantageous position through application of force that should have been impossible for just two Dukes to achieve!
The sight of 2 entities...even one as formidable as a Duke, successfully repelling the massive skeletal horror sent shockwaves through every consciousness present.
Other Dukes rushed toward this position with movements that left brief tears in reality.
Their sharp gazes moved between Duke Gwendolyn and the veiled Paradoxical figure that seemed to move under her direct command, questions forming in their ancient minds.
Yet none of them voiced these concerns immediately. The current crisis demanded coordination rather than interrogation, and with the Symphony empowering all of them, they possessed a genuine opportunity to eliminate the Dead Existences entirely and seal the tear in space before additional reinforcements could arrive from realms of ending!
Information could wait until victory had been secured and the immediate threat neutralized.
Noah observed all of these developments with cool analytical detachment.
His gaze locked upon the massive distant figure of the Primordial Death as it repositioned itself following Duke Gwendolyn’s successful repulsion.
If that being attempted to eliminate him specifically and not Moiraine, Yoshinami’s Crown of Inevitable Retribution would activate with devastating precision, delivering True Death to an enemy whose power operated at the level of Dukes.
But it did not target him.
And this possibility represented one of his primary strategic objectives for participating in this conflict...the opportunity to eliminate threats that normally existed beyond his capability.
As he tracked the creature’s movements with predatory interest, his attention was simultaneously drawn to another Duke who had positioned himself near the tear in space-time.
This entity appeared as a figure wreathed in pure white radiance, his form carrying two magnificent swords that blazed with crystalline authority.
Yet another swordsman in these grand weavings of existence!
The Duke representing Living Laws raised his weapons toward the massive wound in reality, brilliant illumination gathering around his blades as he prepared to deliver a weaving that would seal the breach through application of undeniable juridical force!
His voice echoed out as seas of Living Law gushed out from his swords!
"Immutable foundation of existential order. Unwavering pillar of absolute truth. Bind that which seeks to break. Seal that which refuses structure. Command the chaos to kneel. Iron chains of inevitability. Converge. Restrict. Embrace the weight of existential law and submit to its glorious dominion!
HUUM!
