2750 You are in MY Presence! I
The Senatus of Extremity was a collection of wills and voices.
Of the major powers that reigned over the Nether Havens of Extremity!
The choices they made and how they led generations of Entities across the Gradations of Extremity…were never questioned.
Others may have their own opinions, but they would never dare to actually voice them.
Yet on this day, an Entity sat in the midst of Tier 4 Vitalis Extremities and before the gaze of the Rhetorician of the Senatus of Extremity as he questioned them!
He asked…why was it that when the Cult of Endless Shadows sought for help and recompense for what happened to them, there was no answer?
And why was it that the Avernus Clan's issues were being addressed so speedily?!
His words were resonant as a tense symphony played audibly, the eyes of the watching Senatus Members shining with brilliance at Noah's words as once more, no clamor erupted!
Noah fearlessly gazed towards the Golden-haired Speaker of the Senatus, his eyes even moving to land on the Rhetorician of the Senatus on the throne beside her as this Entity continued to watch on coldly.
The Speaker was unfazed by Noah's words as her glasses pulsed with brilliance.
[You ask why? Did you think such a question would expose something or make it hard for us to answer?]
WAA!
[The answer is a simple one, O supposed Emperor of Quintessence. The force behind you has allegedly eradicated over 100 Tier 2 Hyperversal Extremities- a number that the Cult of Endless Shadows didn't have even a fourth of. So yes, the Avernus Clan is considered an issue of greater importance to address.]
[None of us are petulant children or Scions who gaze at the world as black and white. As good or evil. There are much, much larger forces for us to think and worry about. The answer that you think we would try and avoid saying…is that at the time, we truly did not believe that handling the Cult of Endless Shadows was worth our time. It was merely an Inheritance whose number of Extremities did not even exceed 50. This force added nothing to the overall picture of the Vitalis Hyperversal Domains, so why would we dedicate time for something irreversible done to it when we were at such a critical juncture? It was beneath us, so it was ignored. This was the choice that was made not just by a select few, but all Senatus Members here.]
Her eyes pulsed with a golden light as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose again, her beauty increasing with every passing second as from her throne, she then began to point towards one force after another in different directions!
[The Havenly Moon Clan. The Inheritance of the Infinite Extremity. The Sima Clan…we all bore the responsibility of not answering the calls of the Cult of Endless Shadows as we considered them beneath our worries. That is the straight answer that you thought would be hard to get out of us. I mention the Sima Clan and Infinite Extremity to let you know that even the forces you associate with…also carry this same responsibility with them. Is that a sufficient answer to your question? Can we now be adults and move to resolve the truly important issues at hand?]
…!
Her monologue ended.
Stark silence permeated the surroundings as the veiled faces of the Sima Clan Ancestor holding seats among the 81 Senatus Members turned dark, other Entities becoming the same when they were given the same label as everyone else!
The stark silence did not last long as…
PA! PA! PA!...
The sound of clapping rang out as the True Emperor of Quintessence did so while seated on his throne.
As if he couldn't agree more with the words of the Speaker of the Senatus!
"Precisely."
Quintessence shone around him as his voice rang out with a sense of magnetism.
"Your words ring true. Just like how you all viewed the Cult of Endless Shadows, I also consider the Avernus Clan far beneath me. Hell, I was able to isolate and fracture the whole Avernus Clan with a single word as before me, what is such a Clan worth?"
…!
"Just like you all did not consider the Cult of Endless Shadows worthy of your time and attention to rectify the wrongs done to them…I also do not feel like the Avernus Clan is worthy enough for me to even think of rectifying their current plight. After all, from your own words…a mere force such as that adds nothing to my overall picture!"
His words buzzed with fearless glory in the face of Entities on the Fourth and Fifth Gradations of Extremity.
The faces of all Entities connected to the Avernus Clan felt their gazes changing as those from other Clans looked at Noah with astonishment!
In their minds, they wondered just what power stood behind him for him to talk like this while under the authority of the Senatus of Extremity.
And such a thought seemed to be clear as day for some as finally…the Speaker of Senatus became stern as her voice emanated out with power, the might of a Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity moving with her voice.
[We have shown you courtesy on behalf of the force of the Supernal Havens of Extremity you may represent. But know and understand…you are still in the presence of the Senatus of Extremity. You are in the presence of Esteemed Emperors who have built the very backbone of these Havens. The Inheritors of Vitalis and the Rulers that have kept its order for eons! In the presence of such beings, there are things you can and cannot-]
"I sit in your presence?"
HUUM!
The words of the Speaker were interrupted yet again.
The True Throne of Quintessence buzzed as the Emperor atop it was roused.
His dignity seemed to have been set aflame as the pressure of a Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity actually bore down unto him!
The trace of his Soul here buzzed as such an action roused the billowing and suppressed Tyranny within his very core as he asked once more.
"I sit in your presence?!"
…!
