THRUM!
Gold colored energies ravaged the surroundings as Noah remained elevated in the skies, sensing his upgraded strength as his clenched fist released a burst of power.
A realm that others only dreamed of as those who held it were called Commanders of entire Battalions...he actually obtained it in just a matter of days since he began as an IRON Blessed!
Such a profound sense of achievement made him think of many things as his body came down to ground of the Waiting Room once more, the gold sheen disappearing from his body as he breathed out.
His mind felt extremely free after the upgrade as he didn''t feel the strain he had since Subjugating Stephon and the Red Berserker, his eyes turning to his stat panel as he looked at the disyed ||Mind Dominator|| Inherent Skill that should have even gotten an upgrade with his strength entering the GOLD Rank!
<strong>||Mind Dominator|| :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future. This is an inherent skill that strengthens the mind of the user while granting them abilities that can dominate others. The abilities [Subjugate], [Mind Connection], and [Remote Control] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Dominator''s Consciousness],? [Evolve|Devolve]...</strong>
From the 2 abilities he could use, a third one termed [Remote Control] was added!
The description of the Inherent Skill was even expanded as the future possible unlocks Noah coulde across when he stepped into the Diamond and tinum Ranks showed themselves.
He couldn''t find any information on these, so he focused on [Remote Control]!
<strong>[Remote Control] :: The Mind Dominator can remotely control his subjects, being capable of controlling their bodies and utilizing all their senses from any distance. Thest level of control is death, where the Mind Dominator can choose to have his subjects Self Destruct in a st of glory.</strong>
"..."
A wondrous extra ability for Mind Dominator, and one that had cruel implications if Noah ever chose to fully utilize it!
But the mere feature of being able to remotely control the bodies of his Subjugated Blessed and being able to see and do everything through them gave him plenty of ideas...
It also made him look forward to the second Inherent Skill he just got his hands on, his eyes turning towards the next most important reward of the 50th floor.
Throughout a being''s life, they would only ever hold a single Inherent Skill- the one they were born with. Yet Noah was about to get his second one as a stupendous reward of the Tower of Champions!
He pulled out the glimmering Skill Book from his Inventory as it shone with a luminous light that went on to dig deep into his mind and etch itself onto his very soul.
RUMBLE!
When the light died down, an abundant amount of information bloomed in Noah''s mind as his second Inherent Skill showed itself!
<strong>||Telekic Emperor|| :: An inherent skill that grants its user the capability to manipte matter with their mind. Constant and continued use of the abilities of this Inherent Skill will only work to increase the mental strength of the Telekic Emperor. The abilities [Matter Maniption], [Mental Field], and [Telekic Energy Emission] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Field Master],? [Ruler''s Emenation]...</strong>
A stupendous Inherent Skill with its own gorgeous strengths disyed itself, Noah''s eyes constricting as he found his second Inherent Skill to also focus on the mind!
His blue eyes gazed at the Tower of Champions and then to his Idle Gaming System Interface, many questions swarming his mind as he wondered about the mystery of this System, and why the rewards of the 2 Inherent Skills from the first 50 floors of the Tower would all be mind rted abilities.
Even though he gave it thought, no answer came to him as he chose to throw it in the back of his mind for now, focusing on the new abilities given by the ||Telekic Emperor|| Inherent Skill!
<strong>[Matter Maniption] :: The user is capable of using their mental energy to freely influence outside matter, with the limitations of the ability dependent on the mental strength and imagination of the user.</strong>
<strong>[Mental Field] :: The user can create a field of mental energy around their body to protect from both Physical and Elemental damage.</strong>
<strong>[Telekic Energy Emission] :: The disastrous energy of the Telekic Emperor can be released outward to Attack.</strong>
A ridiculous set of abilities were disyed in front of him as he wasted no time trying them, his blue eyes glimmering brightly as they released tendrils of blue light outwardly, these tendrils forming into arcs in front of his body that he could manipte!
This was [Telekic Energy Emission]!
RUMBLE!
He condensed the blue tendrils together as his eyes shed, the dense energy going on to smash onto the floor of the Waiting Room as an explosive sound reverberated out.
...it was a shocking ability that definitely had to be tested on Silver and Gold Dimensional Beasts for Noah to find out the extent of the damage it could cause!
Next up, he closed his eyes while utilizing [Mental Field]- a wondrous scene ying out as a transparent blue circr field surrounded him on all sides, humming gently as it released a protective light.
[Matter Maniption] was even more straightforward as a secondter, his body that was majestically covered by a mental field rose to the skies...and he was not utilizing his energy at the GOLD Realm to do so!
He was merely utilizing his ability to manipte matter as his body took to the skies even faster than when he inly used the energy of his current Rank to do so, changing directions freely as he felt a sense of freedom he couldn''t even describe.
This was the result of the second Inherent Skill, bringing him a set of abilities he definitely needed to explore some more, but greatly increasing his battle power nheless.
WAA!
The Mental Field around him dissipated as his feet touched the ground, his shining blue eyes going towards the side of the waiting room where the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift stilly waiting for him.
He had sessfully cleared the 50th floor of the Tower and obtained rewards to bring him to the GOLD Rank...and now it was time for him to farm more Light Units in this rare and timed Rift that would be gone in around a day!
He didn''t know what High Tier Element the next one would be, but he would climb the Tower as much as he could for the hours toe as aside from an Offensive Light Unit, he wanted to see if he could obtain a Defensive and a Support One to make him even more monstrous…
As he obtained more Upgrade Crystals from the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift and obtained the Shards of Light Units...he would gradually rece his current ones as the 100,000 required Silver Upgrade Crystals for another GOLD Unit were not too far away!
RUMBLE!
He took his steps towards the Shattered Rift as his Units followed, his eyes shing as he utilized [Remote Control] for the first time to test something out.

In the Vi that wasn''t too magnificent to draw the attention of prying eyes, Annalise and Rose were looking at fields of papers as they organized a ton of information they were receiving within the City and outside of it.
"The other 9 Subjugated Cities all have 2 or 3 GOLD Blessed overseeing and protecting them...would brother still be able to take them down silently, or will he have to repeat taking over the minds of so many Blessed first?" Annalise spoke lightly as she had a thoughtful expression on her face.
Beside her, Rose adopted a wide smile as she replied, "If the purpose is to just take down the Golden Commanders, I think we can do it in many other ways…"
Her eyes held a devilish light as she looked at the stacks of paper while she continued .
"As long as we contain the scale of the battle, and we can even choose the oue of it with Noah''s ability. Simr to here, they just have to fight an unknown foe ande out ''victorious'', even if they''re under your brother''s control!"
…!
The girls were talking back and forth as they oversaw the operation of the Blessed moving throughout the city and the ones collecting information outside of it!
"If only we knew my brother''s limits on his mind control ability…" Annalise spoke out with a tired sigh.
She had been doing her best to try and lighten the burden on her brother, a being that had grown to be much too capablepared to just a few days ago!
She remembered when she pushed him to enter his first Iron Rift with her as he moved unwillingly, and thought of him now as he truly changed from top to bottom.
As Annalise thought about this, she still didn''t know that it was this action of pulling Noah and clearing his first Rift for him that allowed him to awaken his Idle Gaming System!
''Hmm?''
Her tired eyes quickly darted towards the door of the room as while she was lost in thought, she saw the figure of Stephon walking through the door.
"Even I don''t know the limits of the ability myself until I test it, little sister."
…!
A shockingly familiar yet unfamiliar tone of voice came out from the nk face of Golden Commander Stephon, the two girls being shocked as Annalise voiced out in shock.
"Brother…?"
"Yeah, I''m able to project my consciousness and remotely control those I''ve Subjugated after stepping into the GOLD Rank. How''s everything been going?"
Noah''s tone could clearly be heard from Stephon as it carried a hint of mischief, the girls looking towards him in shock!
He was delving into the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift as he sought for more Light Units and loot, and he was also controlling a Subjugated Blessed to talk to the two girls in an entirely different location.
As for the reason the girls received even more shock? It was his word that he had advanced to the GOLD Rank and enhanced his Inherent Skill!
They looked at each other with wry smiles as they shook their heads and continued the discussion.
The shocking topic about Subjugated Cities and how to extend their influence as the armies of the Wild and Dark Continents moved around them continued, a shocking sentenceing out from the Golden Commander''s mouth that was being Remote Controlled by Noah.
"So the nearest City and the first that we''ll be going to is lo City, or as they aptly renamed it- City 9…"
The nk eyes of Stephon shone with a light blue glimmer as his Master continued to decimate the Silver Light Beasts of the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift while already setting his sight on another City...and the Dimensional Rifts and GOLD Blessed he could add to his collection when he took it down!
