The words he spoke were heavy ones that even made him stern!
The Enthusiast outdid itself as always, providing a shining light that showed what was coming as it seemed…even if he did not seek conflict, it always had a way of finding him.
“When a wandering Alchemist passes through and senses an Empyreal allure…a wandering Alchemist! Does my Empyreal Galaxy hold such uniqueness to have you make your descent?!”
His eyes were cold as he studied every part of this prophecy.
“When his depth and power reveals utter hopelessness, an exchange will be made as it shall be the spark…what will you want in exchange, O Alchemist?”
This exchange that was a forced one.
One that he had to make because of the danger and power that this Alchemist could potentially cause!
And also the reason for Alexander to seek even more power as he questions.
For the sake of peace, just what will be enough?!
“…”
There was nobody to answer this question for him.
He had to find the answer himself as at this moment, he continued studying his current level of power, and just how profound the Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy was that even attracted a random Wanderer.
Through it, he could sense his Assimilated Covenants of Nature pulsing and seeking direction as they were seemingly leading him to something even grander!
Like this, he maintained his calmness while waiting.
He did not have the power to move entire Galaxies or relocate everyone close to him.
Since the future was already outlined, it would happen regardless as he chose a nondescript spot in the middle of the Alcyoneus Galaxy and waited!
A day passed.
And at a random point in time, Alexander raised his head up as he felt…an intention.
This was how he could best describe it as it wasn’t an authority or sensation of another Lifeform, but it was akin to a thought that passed over his Galaxy and then proceeded to focus on it!
It could not be sensed.
But…
||A Lifeform with an unknown level of power has appeared 5 million Light Years from the current location.||
||A Lifeform with an unknown level of power has appeared 1 million Light Years from the current location.||
…!
They were fast.
Unfathomably so as they crossed 4 million light years in the span of a second.
And right after….
WAP!
Space distorted a few meters away from him as there, the figure of an old man wearing a black and white robe appeared!
His figure looked a bit unkempt as his black beard was long, and his eyes shone with unfathomable luminosity as he spoke the moment he arrived there.
“Woah there. Hello.”
His eyes radiated a terrifying light of glory as his pupils were dark and cloudy as if they held unfathomable waves of existence within!
Alexander looked at him and nodded as he replied calmly.
“Hello.”
His calmness made the old man ahead of him smile as he scratched his beard, while Alexander had the Investigator and Peacemaker buzzing as it sought to collect as much information as possible!
|The Record of the Entity before you is unfathomably long.|
|His Record is guarded by layers of protection as apart from his name and distinction, it is hard to obtain anything else.|
|The level of power is inestimable. Extreme caution is recommended.|
…!
His eyes kept their calmness as the old man ahead of him waved his hands and sat down in space, a table with a teapot and cups appearing on it as he spoke.
“I am a wandering Alchemist crossing swathes of Existence searching for answers. I am Ashmole. You are?”
Ashmole.
An Alchemist!
Alexander heard the same distinction prophesied before as he replied lightly!
“Alexander. Alexander Asmodeus. How can I help you?”
He was neither polite nor overbearing as he asked this, being as if he did not know his unfathomable level of power.
And Ashmole’s smile became brighter as he looked lost in thought.
“Alexander…it confounds me to this day how many unique existences go by this name. Haha, no matter. As a wandering Alchemist, I am an old man who studies the Origins of Existence. The various types of beings wading across different Universes, Cosmos, and stretches of Realities. I was just passing through here when I came across another unique Existence vastly different from others…you, Alexander Asmodeus.”
WAA!
He mentioned many things as Alexander remained calm, the old man pointing to the table he laid out as he poured tea onto the two cups on it!
“Please- have a cup of tea with me. It is made with the leaves from an Omniversal Oak of Existence. Something far and advanced from the current you, but it will sow good karma between us and also help you tremendously. Though you may only be able to take a single sip…”
The old man spoke of even grander things as Alexander looked at the smoke emitting from the cups filled with clear liquid that caused his Origin to tremble!
He sat down in front of Ashmole as he asked lightly.
“Omniversal Oak?”
Omniversal.
It was a far and foreign term to him as Ashmole shook his head at such a question while looking at him with intrigue.
“Mmm. A Tree that an entire Omniverse depends on for its existence. It is too far for the current you to even think about as you have not even attained the Universal Realm, much less enjoyed the wonders of the Cosmos or Reality, or the Boundaries leading to the very Extremes of Existence themselves. But that is not the most important thing here. The most important thing is you…and your weavings of Existence as I wonder. Would you help me in continuing my studies of all the different Origins of Existence out there? All I would need from you…is a drop of blood.”
…!
A drop of blood.
This was all.
Alexander thought about the thing Ashmole wanted as he picked up the teacup, his hand feeling an unfathomably heavy weight as even lifting it was arduous!
His expression became stern as he raised the cup slowly, his Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy exerting a terrifying level of pressure as he brought the cup before his lips and took…a sip.
A single sip.
But this sip alone….
BOOM!
Caused an explosion within him as his Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy quaked as if it had received an infusion of steroids- spinning rapidly as billions of stars, black holes, and quasars began to form every second!
