The Empyreal Gem Master

Adorned in a golden green robe, Alexander had a single one of his Minor Empyreal Clones come out of the Temporal Enneagram Space.

He reappeared in a region of a black void that was the space between Galaxies- exactly where he had met Payadar of Destruction before as in his fair hands, a black Gem of Destruction glowed with a message from that very same Universal Realm Entity.

"Hmm…."

A golden light of the assimilated Tao of Foresight flashed in his eyes as within them, images of four beings around Payadar appeared!

And after he saw them in his Foresight, the Investigator and Peacemaker actually began to draw out waves of information regarding who they were and their records.

This was how uniquely Taos could be used as when paired with his terrifying Core Features of the Enneagram, utterly insane efforts could be achieved.

As of this moment, the Taos Alexander held were simple ones.

[Taos]

<Lesser>(All Fully Assimilated)- Fortification, Zeal, Crystal, Dread, Summoning

<Grand>(All Fully Assimilated)- Space-Time, Vigor, Destruction, Chrysopoeia, Verve, Devouring, Glacialis, Foresight, Cloning, Contracts, Elements, Augmentation, Constructs, Conjuration, Jewel, Mind

He currently had many.

Each had its own individual wonders and possibilities, with possible Gem Recipes that could be forged varying tremendously.

Alexander had already prepared three new Gem Recipes as one of them was simply an elevated version of the Proto-Galaxy Bow of Peace, a Gem Recipe that is proudly labeled…the Universal Peace Bringer.

Since currently, even though his Enneagram held hundreds of millions of Supermassive Empyreal Galaxies as he should theoretically be in the Galactic Filament Realm, he knew his power could more than rival those of the Universal Realm.

It was for no other reason other than the fact that he held a tremendous number of Taos, with all of them reinforcing his Realm as the best way to understand it was to think about a lone star surrounded by a ring of blazing, scorching brilliance.

A single one of these rings made the star denser, stronger, and harder to approach or change.

If Alexander was this star as a single ring of scorching brilliance represented a Tao, he had nearly twice a dozen scorching rings surrounding him!

If he released all their brilliance, an utter catastrophe would occur against those who barely had two or three Taos augmenting their brilliance.

And if these Universal Realm Entities did not come early, he would have been able to attain Universal Realm smoothly as at this moment…less than 10% of the wonder and potency of the Tea of the Omniversal Oak of Existence was utilized.

The horror and opportunity that Ashmole brought to him could not be denied as Alexander would definitely be sure to…thank him in the future!

As he was lost in his thoughts.

WAP!

Near him, one figure after another manifested as the voice of Payadar of Destruction boomed out.

"Haha, Peacemaker! I apologize for the unruliness of this Universal Coalition of ours. We are itching to Ascend the Infinite Cosmic Tower after we know we have another entrant for it! Introductions are in order, but these are the members of our Coalition…"

Payadar manifested with a blast of Destruction as he was about to introduce the four Universal Realm Entities that were looking inquisitively at Alexander, but before he could continue, Alexander looked at each of them as he began to speak out calmly.

Towards the humanoid man with the head of a shark and the Grand Tao of Pelagic surrounding him.

"Samebito of the Deepsea Galaxy, proudly representing the Grand Tao of Pelagic."

…!

The expression of the shark man changed rapidly as Alexander then turned his head towards the entity with monkey-like fur.

"Lan Albright of the Whitestar Simians, deeply proud of the Grand Tao of Lineage that has made your bloodline even more powerful"

WAA!

"And…proficient in the Grand Tao of Technomancy, Virorraph-7 of the Galaxatron Cluster alongside the White Witch of the Ninelight Galaxy, Balzatha who specializes in the Grand Tao of Velocity…I know of you all."

…!

He only glanced towards the robotic Virorraph-7 and the White Witch Balzatha as he made it clear he came to know who they were and what they represented with but a mere glance!

The Sharkman, Samebito, had a gaze of anger rise while the Simian looked towards Alexander with interest, and the android swirling with the brilliance of Technomancy actually had her screen showing a woman laughing jovially as she formed a metallic fist.

"Haha, the new Coalition member seems to have power and guts! The more powerful you are, the better! I care not even if you take Payadar's position as the Leader of the Coalition. All I seek…is for us to reach higher than we have ever reached in this dreadful Cosmic Tower!"

They each had their own reactions, but Alexander made a glimpse of his power clear for the sake of his peace.

After all, he did not want to have to kill his newly gained Coalition members if they tried to disrupt his peace anytime soon.

Payadar shook his head at the words of Virorraph-7 as he gave a sidelong glance to Alexander.

"Since introductions are not needed, then we can set off for our Ascension Tower Raid as soon as possible. It is your first, Peacemaker, so you can follow our lead as I will share with you the regions we have previously crossed. And if we come across other Coalitions…so long as they do not harm us, we do not harm them. How does that sound?"

Taos swirled around each of them powerfully as such a question was posed, and Alexander sent forth one of his Minor Empyreal Clones that could not even die.

"Let's go."

He was curious about what lay above.

The clones he had sent south, east, and west truly did see an observable boundary that could not be crossed no matter what, which gave a stifling sensation that he was stuck inside of a stellar tower filled with countless stellar bodies that he could not escape from.

This…was not a good feeling.

Entities like Ashmole seemed capable of leaving and coming as they wished, but those weak like him…had to conduct Ascension Tower Raids as today, he would attempt his first!
