《My Idle Gaming System》 Chapter 1 - A Useless Brother The Ethereal Realm was truly vast and filled with wonders. Beingrger than many worlds, it was and filled with magic and fantasy! The Realm was filled with City-States spread across three extremely vast Continents, each with their own unique cultures and powerful beings that vied for hegemony. It''s Cities were interestingly a mixture of technology and magic, where one could find uniquely designed buildings andplexes in addition to levitating Vessels that pulsed with mana! It wasn''t umon toe across fiery birds tearing through the skies, fantastical fruits that shone with a rainbow colored luster, or mountainous sized fish swarming across the wide seas of this Realm. Every single corner of this expansive Realm had its own mysteries, with our story beginning on the Light Continent. Light Continent, Academy City. In the depths of the Academy City, a boy of about 16 to 18 years of age was lying atop an expanse of green grass, each de of the innumerable grasses shining with an intense verdant glint as green lights could even be seen swirling around them. This mere sight of colorful dots of light swirling around lush greenery had given the boy shock when he first opened his eyes in this Ethereal Realm. That''s right. The young boy was actually a transmigrator, a being that had died and crossed over into apletely different world! Well, in this case, apletely different Realm. He was currentlyzing atop the lush greenery that was behind the huge building that was one of monuments of Academy City- The Blessed Academy. It was an enormous structure that housed and taught the next generation of Blessed that would valiantly delve into the Dimensional Rifts present throughout the Ethereal Realm, and Noah had transmigrated into this new Realm just 3 weeks since he began attending this Academy! As for what caused his untimely demise in his old world, it was of course a speedy red truck that had truly appeared from nowhere. A moment of nkness and in the next instant, he woke up in the body of this boy that was called Noah Eckert. He didn''t know why the poor sap had died or how he hade to take his ce, all he had were memories of this world and its people that he had experienced in his 18 years of life! He lived in this fantastical ce called the Ethereal Realm, and where powerful Blessed- beings that held immense might and power, moved with vigor to dive into the dangerous Dimensional Rifts. These Rifts were at the core of the Ethereal Realm, with nearly everything that made the organizations and powers of this Realm relying on the resources and treasures that could be obtained from Dimensional Rifts! All the City-States spread across the three Continents maintained a close watch on the Rifts within them, the ranks of such Rifts determining the power of the Blessed that dwell within. To seed and live a good life in such a ce...one needed to be a truly powerful Blessed that actively dived into these Rifts. It wasn''t enough to just be a Blessed, as the abundant atmospheric mana of the Ethereal Realm was more than enough to cause every single being dwelling in it to awaken as an Iron Ranked Blessed by the time they hit puberty. It was the type of power that came with their awakening that determined whether they could be truly powerful Blessed and seed in life. This was where Noah''s problemy. The body he had transmigrated into had awoken to be an Iron Rank Blessed, but to the dismay of Noah and his family...he obtained no power or special ability from his awakening. "Haaa¡­" Such a reality caused immense frustration to the new transmigrator as he screamed his fury to the skies. ''Where''s my transmigrator package?!'' ''Where''s my cheat that allows me to lead an easy life, huh?! Where?!'' s...no matter how much he vented his frustration, nothing changed. He and his sister had begun attending the Blessed Academy that took in all newly awakened Blessed who wished to dive into Rifts, teaching them pertinent knowledge that would allow them to keep their lives in these dangerous Dimensional Rifts and hopefully hone them into capable beings that could contribute to society. Being a Blessed that had awakened no power whatsoever, Noah had not been able to find any teams that would take him in as the first weeks of his life were spent in istion while he gathered more knowledge about the Ethereal Realm. Even as hezily rolled around the lush greenery behind the Academy right now, he could asionally see shing lights that represented wondrous magical skills from the distance, with even the shocking images of golden ming birds crossing the blue skies of this wondrous Realm. It made his heart ache when he thought of all the transmigrators he read about from the overabundance of trash stories that led easy lives with ridiculous cheats in fantasy worlds. He was in such a fantastical ce such as the Ethereal Realm, and he had nothing! SHAA At this moment, his eyes that were staring at the Blue skies blinked as a figure with pristine long legs stood above him. Her eyes nced down with a sharp light as her voice resounded out. "Useless brother, get up ande with me." The strong voice of a girl younger than him rang out as Noah adopted a light smile. The little sister of Noah Eckert had arrived in a grand fashion. Chapter 2 - A Team Forced To Pick A Slacker Noah nced at the peacefully swaying grass he left behind with mncholy as he followed his cute little sister into the enormous Blessed Academy. The verdant green fields behind it were sizable, but the Academy was evenrger as it looked like multiple enormous medieval castles stacked next to each other. Each of them held their own departments as at this moment, Noah was being led by his little sister into the Armament Department where Iron Rank Blessed could check out Iron Equipment before they set off for a Dimensional Rift. "Mother has constantly been crying to me about how she worries that you might off yourself, with fatherining why you haven''t done it sooner and saved them from the constant shame." Truly hurtful words came out of the little sister as Noah only smiled while following behind. He knew the girl was one of the few people in this world that cared about him, and that all the words she was saying were meant to motivate him to change! "This time I''m acting personally to include you in my team against the wishes of my teammates so that you can at least have the chance to dive into a Dimensional Rift." "Maybe then you will gain some motivation to be a serious Blessed that his little sister can look up to!" SHAA! The little Sister, Annalise, turned her head full of red hair to lock eyes with theid back older brother as she made her goals clear. Her dark eyes shone with intense light as they looked lovingly towards Noah, with her young face keeping the cold expression. She looked at the boy that gradually had features of a growing adult, his dark hair and bright blue eyes being something that would have been one of his best features if he wasn''t a cker. "Keep up!" "Yes, yes. My little sister knows best." There was a bustle of activity inside the Blessed Academy as many beings could be seen moving about. The uniqueness was that they were dressed in colorful looking armors that were the [Loot Drops] from the Dimensional Rifts, with many Blessed wearing themon Iron Rank Equipment that would have been able to deflect bullets if they were back in Noah Homeworld! Annalise passed the crowds of Blessed as she went towards the Armament Department, pulling her brother behind her as he moved with azy expression. Some of the Blessed passing them by were familiar with them as snickers and a fewughs could be heard as they talked amongst each other. "The cker older brother with no talent and his beautiful sister that is in one of the top Iron Ranked Teams...truly abination." "Ay, are we sure theye from the same mother? It just doesn''t make sense¡­" "Haha!" Sounds of mockery could be heard as Noah paid no attention to it, his mind as a 26 year old having grown sufficiently to not be bothered by the words of people barely reaching their 20s. Annalise had a sharp expression as she seemed to be memorizing the faces of every Blessedughing in mockery, having something nnedter for them as she didn''t make a move here! The two of them arrived into a huge square hall that was the Armament Department. On itsrge walls, numerous equipment were hanged- ranging from Swords to ils, all the way to full body armor and helms. "You guys!" Annalise called out to a group that was on one of the counters of the Armament Department. They were finishing checking out their weapons as they turned towards Annalise, their smiles being wiped away when they saw the Older Brother she was bringing along. Each of them seemed to sigh inside as they tried their best not to let their feelings show. "Come,e! We have to hurry before the lines get too long at the Burning Domains Rift!" From the party, a girl with ponytails covered with a red full body armor came out with a smile to hug Annalise. There were 4 other members in the party- 3 guys in their 20s and one other girl that had vibrant purple hair. It was a bnced party of 6 Blessed as from their equipment, Noah could see it was two tanks, a healer, and 3 damage dealers. His eyes shined brightly as he stared at the colorful equipment that had lights bouncing off of it, reminding him once more of the fantastical things he could have had in this world if he wasn''t cheated out of his transmigrator system! ''Haaa¡­'' His eyes dimmed again as he saw his little sister mingle with her team, their eyes turning towards him every now and then as each of them unwillingly nodded. Annalise came towards him again as she asked. "Which weapon and armor do you want?" Noah gave a light smile at this ferocious little sister of his as he spoke calmly. "Just a sword and light armor. I''ll just be watching my great sister and her teammates carry me to victory after all." Annalise let out a harrumph as Noah''s equipment was prepared, his figure looking more like a Blessed when he put the armor on and wielded the sword. ''Hmm¡­'' His eyes lit up as his body filled with energy, feeling like he could run multiple marathons as the sharp sword made him feel like he could cut anything! Such were the boosts of Iron Rank Equipment that could be dropped from Dimensional Rifts. Such equipment could be checked out from the Armament Department...but they required payment as Noah saw his little sister pull out a glowing gem from a small bag by her side to the receptionist on the counter to pay, this payment being to simply rent the equipment for a day! This was because they rarely dropped from Dimensional Rifts, and the same applied to the glowing crystal gem his sister had pulled out. It was a [Low Rank Iron Core] that was another loot drop from the Rift that was near the Blessed Academy. It dropped with slightly more frequency as such a Core was the currency used among Blessed! Cores such as these had a myriad of uses, but the main one remained to increase the strength of Blessed when they absorbed them. The more valuable Cores could be dropped from the Bosses of Dimensional Rifts, and of course, the higher ranking Rifts gave even more abundant rewards if you could survive the dangers within. "Brother, are you ready?" When Annalise came back, she and her team were ready as the girls gave polite smiles to Noah, the guys not even talking to him as the party of 7 went out from the Armament Department and went towards a Dimensional Rift! Chapter 3 - The First Dimensional Rift The Burning Domains Rift was one of the closest Rifts near the Blessed Academy, and it was one of the few Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts within Academy City. Many of the new Blessed that were entering into the Power delved into Rifts like these for a year or two as they collected enough resources and upgraded their strength before they tried aiming for higher ranked Rifts. As for the ranks themselves? They went from Iron to Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and the highest known Rank within the Ethereal Realm being tinum. The Burning Domains Rift was a fairly simple one that consisted of 3 floors, or three ''Domains'' that those delving had to clear before they could be teleported out. It was the go to Rift for all new Blessed as inside, they could slowly farm Iron Rank Cores and Equipment that dropped with a very low chance. Noah followed his little sister''s party out of the Blessed Academy as they moved just a a few miles into Academy City, their goal being something that many figures were going towards even at this moment. The grand structures and buildings of Academy City reminded Noah of the structures of the Middle Ages with the cleanliness and pristine look of the richest ces back in his Homeworld. Everything seemed to be so cleverly designed and working in harmony that he was lost in its beauty while following the team in front of him. Crowds of Blessed could be seen going towards a particr direction where Noah could begin to make the outline of an enormous gray glowing circr portal that was over 10 metersrge. Surrounding this portal, this Rift- was a distinct encampment that multiple Blessed Soldiers secured, checking the teams going into the Rift in time spans. This was because those entering the portal within 1 minute of each other would all be grouped together and be sent to the same spatial area! It was one of the mysteries of the Rift that was figured out a long time ago, along with the fact that many beings could enter it as they each found themselves in the same Burning Domains Rift with simr monsters that everyone else tearing woulde across. It was a fact that Noah marveled at as his sister''s team was up next to enter after they waited for about half an hour. "Brother, watch as we move through the Rift and be careful not to suddenly grow brave. As someone who is entering a Rift for the first time...you''ll have to be very careful!" Noah smiled as he saw the protective look of Annalise hidden behind her hard exterior, nodding as he followed behind. Annalise''s team went through one by one, Noah watching with shining eyes as their figures disappeared the moment they touched the glowing gray Rift in front of them. Noah was the secondst as Annalise nudged him from behind, breathing out calmly as his hand went towards the Rift...and he disappeared. ''I better not lose my second life too early in this damn Rift.'' His thoughts flowed out as he felt weightlessness for a second before he felt his feet touch the ground, his eyes opening wider as he found himself in an entirely new world! Annalise appeared beside him soon after as her face was serious, moving up front to stand protectively in front of her brother as her teammates were also ready. Red skies with billowing clouds could be seen above them, a scorched earth below that asionally had bursts of mes erupting out. There were crimson colored trees in the distance where they hear the rustling and howling of a few beasts the moment that they entered. Noah let out a mystified breath as he entered into a Dimensional Rift for the first time, the environment really being something unique he never expected! He breathed in the feeling of magic and wonder as at this moment, he truly felt he was in a grand fantasy! ROAAR! The roar of Dimensional Beasts could be heard in the distance as the tanks of Annalise''s team got into position. The Healer and three Damage dealers were behind the tanks that began moving forward like a sturdy wall, Annalise pulling out the bow strapped on her as she knocked an arrow that shimmered with blue ice. "The Dimensional Beasts in the Burning Domains Rift aren''t overlyplicated, where each of the three domains will hold a variety ofnd Beasts of the fire element¡­" Annalise began to loudly narrate as she expanded Noah''s mind, the teammates ncing towards her with exasperated smiles as they saw the level of care she was giving to her brother. "It is only thest domain where you wille across flying Dimensional Beasts, and even they aren''t too dangerous if you have a long distance damage dealer." "MOOO!" The thickets of trees broke as the first Dimensional Beast appeared. Curved horns by the side and letting out a huge moo...a ming Cow entered the scene as it charged towards them. "HO!" The tank to the right was the first to move as his thick shield glowed with light while he rushed to confront the ming Cow, the Beast being thrown into the air gloriously as Noah watched with an agape expression while his sister shot the arrow towards the Beast. THUCK! The arrow hit the mark on the head as beside it, two balls of sparkling ice also smashed into its head and ruptured its muscles! MOOO! It let out a loud bellow as when the ming Cownded on the ground again, yet another arrow smashed into its disfigured head as it stopped moving entirely. "..." Noah gripped the Sword he was renting tighter as he breathed in and out, excitement flowing through his body as he looked at the fantastical and magical skills the Blessed in front of him had used...his heart eager to have something like that himself! "Nice work everyone. The next Beast should being out soon!" The lead tank shouted out while ncing towards Annalise with eyes that shone with intense light, the arrows of this genius girl simply being too powerful as they helped them take down a Dimensional Beast in seconds. Yet when his eyesnded on the surprised older brother not too far from her¡­ ''Ay¡­'' Disappointment overflowed as the party delved deeper into the Burning Domains Rift! Chapter 4 - I...I Have A System! I As Noah followed the party of Iron Rank Blessed through the Dimensional Rifts, he expanded his sight while tightly holding on to his sword. His shining eyes saw the Blessed of this new Realm he found himself move with vigor as they took down Dimensional Beasts! It was truly more than enough to make his heart that read novels day and night about such things be satiated. ''Ahh, if only I wasn''t a talentless Blessed!'' His sorrows remained in his heart as he watched his little sister work with her team to clear the ming Cows of the first floor. When all of them were cleared, only a bit over 20 minutes had passed as the team counted their loot before moving forward. "...only 3 Low Rank Iron Cores from all those Dimensional Beasts. We better hope for more luck on the second and third floor or we''ll barely have enough for renting equipment next time!" The team leader sighed dejectedly while cursing their luck, bringing to light the plight of many Blessed that delved into Dimensional Rifts- the very low drop rate! Equipment had an even lower drop rate than items as the Blessed Academy rented it out a full day for a single Low Rank Iron Core. "We have our equipment for 24 hours, we can just dive again after we rest for a few hours to cover all expenses and gain profit!" Noah''s little sister Annalise voiced out powerfully as her teammates smiled at each other, getting themselves ready before moving on. Noah felt his heart strings be pulled as he saw this little sister of his that must have been working hard this entire time, fighting in Dimensional Rifts every day to hone her skills. It made him grasp his sword harder as he wished he had the capability and sufficient strength to do the same, or even go above it! The party continued forward as they stepped on a blue runic magic circle that appeared the moment the mobs of the first domain were cleared, each of them being teleported into the second domain of the Dimensional Rift. The monsters here were ferocious looking ming Crows that were fiercly swarming the skies, the Beasts from the skies being particrly deadly as they put that much pressure on the party! But they were veterans that had delved into this Dimensional Rift multiple times, their teamwork solid as they began clearing it with out too much trouble. On thest Dimensional Beast of the floor was a ming Crow, Annalise didn''t shoot herst arrow to finish it as she held her teammates back and pointed to her brother. "Come, it''s on itsst legs and simply waiting for a finishing strike." Annalise beckoned towards Noah as he grasped his sword seriously, going towards the limping Crow that was letting out itsst squeeks as he trusted in the Iron Rank Equipment he wore and his body of a Blessed that was stronger than a normal man. SHULK! His sword descended down on the Dimensional Beast that was on itsst breath as it was put out of its misery, its body shining out in a glimmer of colors as from it...loot dropped! "...!" The eyes of Annalise and her teammates opened wide as they watched with agape expressions the appearance of not a Core...but a piece of equipment from the defeated beast. The thing with the lowest drop rate...dropped from the beast killed by someone that had never even killed before! "What dumb luck¡­" The second tank whispered out incredulously as Annalise looked towards her older brother that had picked up the glimmering red armor that dropped, going towards her with a smile as he handed her the armor. "My present to you, little sister." The party members shook their heads incredulously at this scene as they smiled, Annalise taking the armor as she nodded with shining eyes! Any equipment, even Iron Ranked ones, could fetch for a nice price of multiple Cores in the market- this was especially so for all body armors like this one. They could also choose to keep the Equipment as they reduced their daily costs of renting things from the Armament Department. When everyone in their team was decked with gear of their own without having to rent...they could freely farm the Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts around Academy City until they grew strong enough to challenge Bronze Ranked Rifts and eventually break through the shackles of Iron Rank Blessed! The emotions of the party were high as they stepped onto the margin circle leading to thest domain of the Burning Domains Rift. There was but a single monster on this floor- the Boss monster that was a fearsome looking beast Noah had heard of from legends...the Minotaur! ROAAAR! The 4 meter tall creature roared out gloriously towards them as the party moved together with great teamwork to surround it and begin slowly grinding it down. They were pumped from having an Equipment drop on the past floor as they moved with vigor to attack the Minotaur! Noah stayed in the back as he protected his inexperienced self, only moving forward when his little sister said so to release a single strike from the beaten down Minotaur. It took the party about 20 minutes to tear down the defenses of the Boss monster as an ice arrow from Annalise incidentally took it down. THRUUM! The surroundings shook as the boss disappeared into particles of light, leaving behind 10 Low Iron Rank Cores...and nothing else! "Bah!" The party members released a groan of disappointment as even though Boss monsters had more chances to drop Equipment, the chance was still low. They found themselves turning their gaze to Noah as they wondered...would the boss have dropped something more if he hadnded thest strike? But their gazes found a surprised Noah that was nkly looking in the air, his body beginning to tremble in excitement as he screamed out indiscernible words! "I...I have a system!" RUMBLE! Chapter 5 - I...I Have A System! II When Noah watched the Minotaur fall into particles of light and release Cores, he felt a sense of aplishment forpleting his first Dimensional Rift...and it seemed that this aplishment was also something that was required of him for something wondrous to happen. [Sessfully cleared a Dimensional Rift. The Idle Gaming System is now active.] THRUM! Noah felt his mind buzzing as he saw a blue text box appear in the air, disappearing a secondter as he noticed the formation of a square icon in the corner of his eyes! This square icon had the image of a small golden sword, Noah focusing on it as it ballooned into a full screen in front of him. The screen was titled simply- [Idle Gaming System]! "I...I have a system!" He couldn''t help but blurt out as the party that just defeated the Boss looked towards him weirdly, Annaliseing towards him and putting her palm on his head to see if something had gone wrong with him. "Did you catch a fever and be delirious? Brother??" He had nked out for a second as he nearly delved into the contents of the screenbeled [Idle Gaming System],ing back to focus as he waved it away for now and focused on his sister. He smiled bashfully as he apologized and said he just spaced out. All he got were weird looks as the party stepped on the Blue shining runic magic circle that appeared with the Boss''s defeat, all of them being transported out of the Dimensional Rift as they appeared in the outside world once more! WAA! Noah''s eyes were bright and filled with excitement as he appeared in the encampment that housed the portal leading to the Burning Domains Dimensional Rift. "We will rest for 3 hours and recuperate our energy before delving in again. Brother, will you continue diving with us?" Annalise shook Noah out of his stupor again as he looked at her and the party behind her, shaking his head as he needed some time to figure out what just happened. "You guys go ahead without me. I have something to do!" A hint of disappointment appeared on Annalise as she thought her cker of a brother would change after seeing the dangers and blood-pumping adventures of Blessed delving into Dimensional Rifts, but it looked like she was wrong. She sighed wistfully as she saw her older brother take off his armor and sword, handing them to her as it seemed he couldn''t wait to leave the entrance of the Dimensional Rift. "Thank you for taking me into the Rift, it was more helpful than you could ever imagine!" His voice rang out in his sister''s ears as he literally ran out from the encampment and away from the peering gazes of many, his heart shaking as he couldn''t wait to check out exactly what his System was! Annalise sighed as she watched his retreating figure, turning to her teammates and thanking them for letting her bring her brother along with them. They gave her light smiles as the party made way to one of the many establishments near the Dimensional Rift that held delicious foods for Blessed, many of those that had just dived in Rifts choosing to recuperate in ces like this before they continued their adventures. --- Across the bustling streets of Academy City, Noah''s figure could be seen shing across as his face was filled with excitement! He returned to the Blessed Academy right away as he went back to the ce he liked being the most, in the back of the Academy where there was the verdant field of verdant green grasses. He was breathing heavily as he arrived at this location and lied down in the same ce he was in before his sister hade to take him. His bright eyes honed on the square icon with a sword in the corner of his eyes as the interface was pulled up once more. Had he truly gotten his transmigrator patch? Was his life about to change? Numerous questions buzzed in his mind as even though he portrayed himselfid back and without care, he was always scared that he would have no strength to protect himself! In this foreign new world, this foreign new Ethereal Realm- he had knowledge of the powerful Blessed and Dimensional Beasts as he was afraid he would lead a life of mediocrity and die within a few months or years from just pissing off someone strong or being stepped on randomly like a bug. Have you ever experienced the feeling of mediocrity? Of knowing your entire life would go by unnoticed and without being able to make any significant change in the world you lived in? it was an extremely distasteful feeling! Noah had always been battling this horrible feeling and fear that was enhanced by the dangers of this Ethereal Realm, but at this moment, he felt like he could possible erase it! Under the blue banner titled [Idle Gaming System], Noah could see a nk blue box that seemed simr to the screen of a phone, and within the left side of this huge box...he could see a square that held the image of a Minotaur and the name of [Burning Domains Rift-IRON]! ¡­! He felt his heart beating quicker as he clicked on this singr square, a bright sh shining out as information entered his mind. [The Host has sessfully cleared the Burning Domains Dimensional Rift, and can ess this Rift in Idle Mode starting now.] [The Idle Mode for the Burning Domains Rift is active, and will take 65 minutes to clear before loot resources can be avable for collecting.] "..." Noah was absolutely incredulous when he continued to receive the bundles of information about his System, a system that seemed so ridiculous that couldn''t even fathom the extent of it! [If the Host clears the Dimensional Rift at a faster speed in the real world, the time needed before collecting loot resources will be adjusted¡­] More and more information flowed in as Noah''s already shocked mind was bombarded even more. He...he actually had a system that activated something called Idle Mode on any Dimensional Rifts that he cleared. After he cleared a Rift once, he wouldn''t have to do anything as he could ess his Idle Gaming System interface and enter Idle Mode for the selected Rift...automatically collecting loot after however much time it took him to clear the Rift in the real world! "Holy shit¡­" Chapter 6 - My Idle Gaming System! Among the many Systems Noah had read about in the myriad of trashy novels...he could make a case for his System being the most ridiculous. It truly fit his personality of not wanting to do any work but still getting wonderful rewards! He heart thumped as he felt relief washing over him, thanking whoever was watching down over him for this beautiful system as he had a gleeful smile on his face when he watched the timer on the Burning Domains Rift slowly go down over time. In the lush greenery behind the Blessed Academy, Noahy among the grasses that shone with green lights as an hour very quickly passed. DING [Loot resources are avable for collecting in the Burning Domains Rift.] A sound simr to a notification rang in Noah''s mind as he opened his eyes slowly, going into the Interface of the Idle Gaming System and clicking on the box that represented the Burning Domains Rift. RUMBLE! An explosion of light blinded him as graphics of 5 boxes appeared in front of his eyes. [+5 Idle Exp][+13 Iron Rank Cores][+1 zing Sword][+1 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+30 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] [All items have been ced in Host''s Inventory.] ¡­! His eyes nearly bulged out at the abundant rewards of the 1 hour of Idle Mode, watching with incredulousness as the timer in front of the Burning Domains Rift icon automatically reset to 65 minutes as it began to count down again! It meant that approximately every hour for the foreseeable future...Noah would be gaining stupendous loot and resources of varying amounts! If he cleared other Dimensional Rifts and also had them in Idle Mode¡­ The mere thought nearly caused his adrenaline to shoot through the roof as he breathed out to calm down. He focused on the mentioned rewards as he viewed each of them in detail. [Idle Exp] :: The Experience gained from using the Idle Gaming System. Can be used to level up the system and unlock new features. 5/1000 Exp until the next upgrade. [Iron Rank Cores] :: Cores that can be used to strengthen the body up to the Peak of Iron Rank. [zing Sword] :: A sharp sword of the Iron Rank. Has slight fire essence contained within that can burn enemies. [Iron Rank Minotaur Shard] :: Collect 100 Shards to be able to summon an Iron Rank Minotaur to aid you in real life and in Idle Mode. Every equipped Summon reduces Rift clearing time by a certain percentage. 1/100 Shards until Summoning. [Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] :: Crystals that can be used to upgrade the strength of the Summons. When two Iron Rank Summons achieve Peak Iron Rank, Evolution into the next tier is possible. "..." He was speechless. Truly speechless. The System came with so many things that he had to read over it a few times, but a singr ring message was shouting in his mind. ''Too OP!'' That''s right! It was too damn overpowered! By doing nothing, he would receive tremendously valuable loot every hour from the single Dimensional Rift he cleared- with some loot that he had never even heard about. Things like Unit Shards capable of Summoning the boss monsters of Rifts as his pets or the Unit Upgrade Crystals that increased their ranks...he hadn''te across such a thing before! It was all so ridiculous that he couldn''t help but tear up. He wasn''t a useless transmigrator! He wouldn''t identally be killed by a passing Blessed! Maybe...just maybe with this System, he would be able to rise up and shine even brighter than any of the trash main characters he read about while protecting himself in this dangerous new world. The fear of mediocrity he had these past weeks...he would wash this fear away as fast as he could as he rose to the top! ''Ah¡­!'' His thoughts calmed down as he came out of his soliloquy and nced to the lower right of the huge blue screen interface where he saw multiple square boxes that had thebel of [Inventory] above them. There were 5 rows and columns, and he could see the number of pages written as 1/1000 ar the bottom of the inventory. "..." This was another stupidly ridiculous feature as he merely sighed in amazement. He saw that the aforementioned [+13 Iron Rank Cores][+1 zing Sword][+1 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard] and [+30 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] were all ced in the Inventory, his mind merely thinking about the zing Sword as it disappeared from the Inventory and appeared in his hands. It seemed as if he had one of the shocking treasures that were known as Space Rings which could contain things in a separate space, but he had an Inventory that was just monstrous! The zing Sword disappeared from his hands as the Iron Rank Cores appeared instead. They were all Peak Iron Rank Cores- every single one without exception as this was another huge fact with Noah''s system. The Cores always had qualities of Low, Medium, and Peak, with Bosses of Dimensional Rifts being the only ones capable of dropping Peak Cores of their respective levels! Yet...Noah got all Peak Cores from a single run of the Burning Domains Rift in Idle Mode¡­ He continued shaking his head in amazement as he barely believed it even now. ''I might as well put in some work and absorb the Cores to go towards Peak Iron Rank¡­'' He had a thought that would cause others to spit blood in jealousy, pulling the single glimmering Peak Iron Rank Core in his hands as he began absorbing it while lying down on the verdant grassy ins. Wisps of energy flowed into his body as his cells drank everything with fervor, his eyes closed as he continued to absorb a Peak Iron Core that very few Iron Blessed would get to enjoy. He was truly working hard! But everything was made possible with a single interface that awakened the moment he cleared a Dungeon Rift for the first time. ''Idle Gaming system¡­'' This thought passed through his mind over and over again as he couldn''t help but form the biggest smile. This was his cheat system. This was his tool to a wondrous life in this new Ethereal Realm! ''This...is My Idle Gaming System!'' RUMBLE! Chapter 7 - Glorious Loot! I The days were always infinitely brighter when you knew your future was bright. Noah was feeling this way at this moment as he had just finished absorbing 10 [Peak Iron Cores], his body feeling extremely vibrant and filled with energy, even though he felt like this wasn''t the limit of the Iron Rank! He pulled up the Idle Gaming System interface and clicked on the [Burning Domains Rift] icon that was shining in gold, indicating that Loot Resources were ready for collecting whenever he wished. SHAA! A bright gold light. Glorious words then appeared in front of his eyes. [+5 Idle Exp][+15 Iron Rank Cores][+2 Iron Rank Minotaur Shards][+20 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+1 me Bow] He gained 2 more Cores and an extra Minotaur Shard for the past hour of Idle Modepared tost time, also getting less Unit Upgrade Crystals along with a wondrous Equipment in the form of a bow! The things that had extremely low drop rate for Blessed...were flowing to him as loot every hour as he thought he would very soon not know what to do with them. He left everything in the Inventory for now as he saw the sun was going down, with night soon to descend. ''Annalise should be diving into the Burning Domains Rift again within the next hour?'' He remembered how the party nned to delve into the Dimensional Rift again after 3 hours, thinking about his little sister in this new Ethereal Realm that he would very soon be able to take care of! When he transmigrated, he had taken over the body and memories of the Noah Eckert of this Ethereal Realm as he felt very connected to the family he had here. Because of the memories, it didn''t seem like he only knew them for three weeks and it felt like he had known them for years! As for what he would do to get stronger and be more capable to the family that raised him...well, he just had to wait around and be Idle, his System being able to take care of everything on his behalf. He rose from the verdant green ins behind the Blessed Academy as he passed through the huge structures of this organization, heading into the bustling city as the apartmentplex of the parents of Noah and Annalise was only a 10 minute walk away. Theymuted to the Blessed Academy daily to attend optional and some required Lectures given by experienced Blessed on Dimensional Rifts, with the lessons dealing in a variety of topics. Some were focused on specific roles Blessed could take- whether they wanted to be damage dealers, tanks, or healers and how they could achieve this. They would be taught which Dimensional Rifts they should dive in that dropped specific equipment for the role they wanted to specialize in and much more. Other sses dealt in finance and business when it came to the currency that was Cores, as well as how Blessed could manage their money and sell their Loot either to the Academy or private businesses! Noah''s bright eyes shone ever brighter when he thought about these things while heading home. This Ethereal Realm had the fantasy and feel of both the Middle Ages and his modern world, yet seemed more advanced than his homeworld in its systems as they used magic to their advantage and created wondrous things! When he moved around the city in the first few days that he transmigrated, he would asionally wonder if he was still back on the Blue or had reallye into a fantasy world- the simrities were too many! He passed by the crowds of people as he saw the apartmentplex in his memories and went in, putting a code in a gate that was reinforced by Iron Rank Ores that very few criminals would bother breaking into. Security like this meant his parents were fairly well off as they managed to live in such a protected ce, his dad and mom both being Bronze Blessed that risked their lives in Dimensional Rifts daily just like his sister! He was truly the only one in the family that was a cker, with his mom constantly worrying that his mind was too weak and he might do something dangerous to himself. ''Ahh¡­'' Noah sighed in mncholy as he entered their apartment that held 4 rooms, a nicely designed living room, and a kitchen that already had a meal prepared on the table. Even though his mom was out with his dad and their team diving in Dimensional Rifts, she always kept a meal ready for her kids when they returned from their own adventures! Noah could feel the love of this new family of his that it made him think back to his own, reminiscing for a few minutes before he broke out of his stupor. He went to grab some of the food and fill himself to the brim as he nned for many possible things in the future, his thoughts innumerable as they revolved around his Idle Gaming System. When he finished eating, it was already nearing 8 pm as nobody had returned home yet. ''Well, the night is night and I could sleep and wake up tomorrow to truly wondrous presents¡­'' He thought about the Loot Resources he would be waking up to tomorrow as over 2 hours had passed since hest collected Loot fromst time, entering the Idle Gaming System interface and clicking on the box tinged with the color of gold once more before he called it a night. [+10 Idle Exp][+28 Iron Rank Cores][+3 Iron Rank Minotaur Shards][+55 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+1 zing Armor] The glorious loot that had their text boxes tinged with their own colors glowed in front of his eyes, making him extremely happy as he delved into the warm bed. He would work hard Idling this entire night and wake up to a better day tomorrow. As for the surprises that waited for him? There would be too many to count! The lights went off as after obtaining his cheat system, Noah Eckert was lulled into the folds of sleep. Chapter 8 - Glorious Loot! II When Annalise returned to their apartment at around 10 pm and saw her brother sleeping with a carefree smile still present on his face, anger bloomed on her cute face as she truly didn''t know what to do with this brother of hers! She was out with her team this entire time diving into Rifts while he...he¡­! It was too frustrating to even think about as she skipped her dinner and went to rest right away. The parents of the two children came in two hourster as it was past midnight, watching as their kids slept safely with a smile. The lives of all Blessed were hard, no matter their ranks! The ''weakest'' in their family returned home the earliest as he was in bed by 8, with his little sistering in 2 hourster, and their Bronze Rank parentsing back past midnight as they had to work even harder to provide their children with what they had today. It was a heartwarming scene as the Eckert Household spent the night peacefully in their beds. --- ''Hmm¡­'' Early morning on the next day, Noah woke up with a yawn while rubbing his eyes, looking towards the clock to see that it was 6 am! This might seem truly early for others, but he could already hear the sounds of his parents and little sister moving outside his room as they went to sleepter than him but woke up even earlier. Such was the regiment of powerful Blessed- they knew in their hearts that they had to rise up early to be truly sessful. Noah shook off his grogginess as his eyes honed in towards the icon of a golden sword that represented his Idle Gaming System. The Interface came up as he saw a blinding gold light on the square box with the picture of the Minotaur. The Idle Mode that had been running this entire night was filled with an overabundance of loot as Noah very quickly clicked on it! THRUUM! Glorious golden light erupted out as his vision was filled with vibrant text boxes, things only calming down a few secondster as Noah''s eyes focused on them. [+50 Idle Exp][+150 Iron Rank Cores][+11 Iron Rank Minotaur Shards][+300 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+3 zing Armor][+1 zing Sword][+2 zing Helm] "..." Noah had no words as he stared at the bright loot that went straight to his Inventory. Not even taking into ount the multiple Equipment that very rarely dropped in Dimensional Rifts...just the number of Iron Cores alone nearly frightened Noah! 150 Peak Iron Rank Cores! That was more than enough to bring some to the Peak of Iron Rank 3 times over, and he had all of it to himself. He pinched himself to make sure he wasn''t dreaming as he nearly burst outughing in delirium! His emotions were rising so high as he felt his confidence rise, bursting out of his room as he went to the kitchen where his parents and Annalise were. His face looked bright as it showed someone with grand goals and aspirations, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke! "Annalise, Mom, Dad...this son has finally decided to get serious and be a capable Blessed!" "..." "..." "..." All three Blessed in the apartment turned towards him briefly as silence filled the room. Annalise threw him the cold shoulder after his actions yesterday as she went back to her meal, his father only nodding disbelievingly as his mom gave him a light smile while patting the seat next to her. "Come have some breakfast, you little rascal." His whole family ignored his bold im as they went about their business, Noah breathing out exasperatedly as he groaned about his past cking behavior before he joined them for breakfast. They might not believe him now as things stood, but results would speak louder than words when the time came! And his results¡­.well, he didn''t have to think about it too much when he thought about the rewards of Idle Mode for a single Dimensional Rift after just barely one half a day! Noah ate his breakfast in silence while his parents and sister talked about the happenings of Academy City. Being Blessed themselves, his parents had gone through everything that Annalise and he were doing right now, and they had already passed through the stage of the Blessed Academy years ago. The Academy was an institution established to help prepare all uing Blessed and to reduce the deaths urring in the Dimensional Rifts. There wasn''t truly a grading system or any such thing as the only grading was one''s strength! When a Blessed first entered the Blessed Academy, they would be given an identification badge that ssified them as ''Students''. This badge could be used by the Blessed to pass through the encampments of the Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts within Academy City. If they felt like they had grown strong enough and the Blessed Academy could not be of any help to them...then they would have to take a test that would grant them an official Blessed Licence which allows them to enter the higher ranking Dimensional Rifts within Academy City! Noah was thinking about this method of things at this moment as he was setting up a n to clear the 2 remaining Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts in the Academy City before he took the assessment of the Blessed Academy that certified his identity as a qualified Blessed and allowed him to delve into the more dangerous Rifts. Of course, his life was the most important, so he had to be truly confident in his abilities first before he did any such things! As he saw from the first Dimensional Rift he cleared- as long as he was in the team clearing it, it was counted as he could utilize it in Idle Mode. This gave him many ideas as he had a myriad of ways to go about when it came to clearing a Rift. The family finished their breakfast as the parents were the first to leave followed by Annalise, Noah being left alone in the house as he breathed out slowly. He went back to his room as he waved his hand and caused the appearance of a Peak Iron Core, lying on his bed grandly as he began to absorb it in order to pump his strength even higher. He had to work hard to absorb the Cores he obtained after a hard night''s work of Idle Mode! Other beings had to farm Low, Medium, and Peak Rank Cores for months as they divided them between their party members and decked themselves out in equipment first before they began slowly absorbing them to raise their strength. It was only after they graduated from the stage of having to rent out Equipment that they could begin amassing Cores to increase their strength, taking another month or two as they worked with a team to collect and absorb enough Cores they could absorb to hit Peak Iron Rank! This was the point when they could take the assessment of the Blessed Academy to bebeled qualified Blessed that obtained the License to delve into the Bronze Ranked Rifts within Academy City. This was when the adventure truly began, and also the stage where many Blessed remained their entire lives- the Bronze Rank. Getting into such a Rank was achievable with time, but getting past it and into the Silver level? Insurmountably hard! An example was Noah''s parents that were still in the Bronze Rank after all these years¡­ Noah thought about the plight of all Blessed as he continued absorbing the Peak Iron Cores, spending the entire morning doing so as he only regained his bearings in the afternoon. This was because as he was in the process of absorbing another Core, he found out that no energy was flowing into his body anymore. "Hmmm?" Only then did he rise from the bed as he checked his body, seeing his muscles tout as they vibrated with strength, each part of his body screaming out with power! PEAK Iron Rank- achieved! THRUUM! He released a burst of strength from his strong body as the bed below him creaked, rising up and staring at himself in front of the mirror while he admired the grand visage of muscles. Wow. The toned body he never thought he would have in his wildest dreams could be seen in the mirror, his hands tracing over the six packs that he thought was a mere dream! Didn''t one have to do a lot of cardio and control their diet if they ever wanted something like this? In this Ethereal Realm, he just had to absorb the Cores his Idle Gaming System provided for him as his body would be sculpted to perfection along the way! "Ah¡­!" Chapter 9 - A Personage Descends Noah left his apartmentplex feeling full of power and strength as he went in a different direction than usual. He wasn''t going towards the direction of Blessed Academy, but further into the Academy City where one could find another Iron Rank Dimensional Rift- The Frozen Forest! After achieving Peak Iron Rank in a day from the Idle Mode of a single Rift, Noah nned to add as many other Rifts as he could in the foreseeable future so he could enjoy even more abundant rewards. The earlier the better really was too true for him, as the rewards he could get exponentially rising whenever he was able to add another Rift! He also needed to go clear the Burning Domains Rift once more to get an even faster clear time that would cause his Loot Resources to collect even more rapidly. He walked withrge strides through the bustling streets of Academy City as he felt like a giant among men, his eyes being able to see even more as every breath he took felt like powerful billowing mes! This was the feeling of power that Peak Iron Rank gave him, his heart feeling excited when he thought about breaking through into the Bronze Rank. The streets around him were filled with majestic looking animals pulling carriages, and one could even see floating vehicles that released a blue glow below as they sped past everything. It wasmonce in Academy City to observe thebination of technology and magic as there were manyrge organizations researching the use of Cores and incorporating them into daily lives. As Noah moved across the bustling streets, he found a congestion of beings up front as each of them seemed to be pointing towards the skies while speaking in amazed tones. "Is it really true? The 5th Ethereal Princess will be visiting Academy City for the next few weeks?" "That''s the Edict that high ranking Blessed heard, it''s about to be a tumultuous next few weeks in Academy City!" Noah''s ears caught the hushed words of amazes Blessed as his eyes also turned towards the skies, noticing a majestic vessel floating above the tall buildings of the Academy City. Only those with true power and status could do such a thing, and the being on the vessel had a tremendous status as she was the 5th Ethereal Princess of the Ethereal Realm! She was the daughter of the powerful being that stood at the peak of power in the Ethereal Realm, the Royalty that made all the rules andws of this Realm. The will of such a being was invible as seeing his Descendants away from the Imperial City was truly a rare sight. The Ethereal Realm was extremely vast as it held within it enormous clusters ofnd that were divided into three Continents. There was the Light Continent, the Dark Continent, and the Wild Continent! The Light and Dark Continents were connected bynd while the far away Wild Continent was separated from the two by an expansive sea. The Ethereal Emperor''s power began in the Imperial City of the Light Continent, his influence stretching to the Dark and Wild Continents as when he rose to the peak of power and was crowned as the Emperor of the Realm, not a single person had been powerful enough to oppose him. Our story had only begun as it took ce in the small city-state that was Academy City located in the Light Continent, and the unexpected sight of an important personage that had left the Imperial City and graced the Academy City with their presence urred. Noah recalled all the information he could from the mind of the body he was upying as he stared with shining eyes towards the enormous Vessel that had begun descending down from its high position. THRUUUM! It released a powerful sound as it looked like a floating ship one would only ever see out of the wildest fantasy. The important personages within became visible as the vessel neared the ground, Noah being among the many specks of nobodies whose eyes were pulled towards a shocking image. It was the scene of a ridiculously beautiful silver haired girl stepping out from the vessel, her left and right sides bounded by powerful looking Blessed that released a wondrous silver color from their bodies! Silver Rank! The 5th Ethereal Princess stepping out of the vessel was actually apanied by numerous Silver Ranked Blessed as guards, her face keeping a gorgeous smile as she stepped on the streets of Academy City and went towards the entrance of a huge skyscraper that had golden words lining it up- The Golden Phoenix Auction House. Noah felt his eyes zing with light as he watched the scene of a singr being escorted by Blessed that were powerfully in the Silver Rank. Such was status! Such was the true power in this Realm! Even the Silver Ranked Guards that nked the 5th Ethereal Princess truly had no need to do so as it was a mere formality. This was because within the Ethereal Realm, the power of the personage at the very top was absolute. Not a single being would dare even have an idea of lifting their hands to this personage''s descendants! ''Ah¡­'' Noah thought wistfully about the power and prestige such beings held as he shook his head. He lived in an entirely different world than these powerful beings that had just their guards be multiple times more powerful than him! He wouldn''t think about them too much at this point, as he might never even enter their ying field. If his strength happened to rise to a great degree in theing days and months as he became confident enough to protect his little life, only then would he entertain such an idea. For now, would y with his Idle Gaming System as he collected Loot every day and see if he could get much stronger than he currently was. His eyes lingered on the gorgeous 5th Ethereal Princess and her shocking escort just a bit longer as she entered The Golden Phoenix Auction House, shaking his head as he began moving away from the crowd of watching people. He had a Dimensional Rift to clear! Chapter 10 - Lets Add Another Rift! Within The Golden Phoenix Auction House. The steps of the 5th Ethereal Princess were light as she was received by the Chief of the Auction House himself, a Silver Ranked Blessed that adopted a fawning expression the moment he saw the Princess. "At ease, Chief Rykiel. My visit to this city will onlyst a week or two before I head back, and I will frequent your Auction House among other ces to pass the time." The voice of the 5th Ethereal Princess was extremely sonorous and filled with amanding authority that made Chief Rykiel bow his head even lower. One would be shocked to see that the face of the being within looked no older than 20! "I wouldn''t dare be presumptuous in front of the Princess. Please let this servant know if he can be of any use during your stay here." Even a Silver Rank expert that could make waves and own an establishment like the Golden Phoenix Auction House in the center of Academy City acted subserviently towards a being with her Status. The Princess only gave a light smile as she walked into the Auction House with slow steps. Her visit into Academy City this time was a mystery that many people would never find out about, but the consequences of her visit would be a match that would spark the birth of something that had yet to even enter the minds of the powerful beings of the Ethereal Realm. It was bound to be a tumultuous next few weeks as the 5th Ethereal Princess descended unto Academy City, undercurrents waving in the dark that very few knew about! --- On the streets of Academy City far away from the Golden Phoenix Auction House. Noah was marveling at all the fantastical scenes around him as he hummed a tune while he neared the location of the Dimensional Rift after some time, his eyes wandering around the Interface as he noticed yet another section, this time in the top right hand corner. It was the square box that had the cartoon image of...him? He clicked on it as a set of words appeared in front of his eyes. [Noah Eckert] [Rank: Iron(PEAK)] [Strength: Iron] [Dexterity: Iron] [Intelligence: Iron] [Vitality: Iron] [Skill(s): None] "Ooh¡­" He nced at the stat panel looking interface as he released a sharp breath, seeing the quantified attributes of his body that felt full of power. ''Very intuitive indeed¡­'' He gave a nod to the System that continued to surprise him as he finally neared the encampment of one of the three Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts within Academy City. Surrounding it were an abundance of Blessed, some with full teams waiting to go in while others had half teams while seemingly waiting for their party members or looking around for powerful Blessed to join them. One didn''t have to find a Team to delve into Rifts with just in the Blessed Academy, they could easily get into one around the encampment of a Rift...if they were strong enough that is. Noah had a light smile on as he looked at his inventory that nearly had the full set of the wondrous ''zing'' Equipment from the Burning Domains Rift, his thoughts moving with amand. ''Equip!'' His intentions were received as while he moved through the crowd of Blessed, a sword pulsing with mes appeared in his hands while a red full body armor and a helm came to easily fit into his body. When he passed through an unsuspecting group of Blessed, he came out as a Blessed fully decked out in a nearlyplete zing Set as he went towards a Part that only held 4 members! Their eyes drew towards him and the powerful looking set of Armament he had on, the party leader at the forefront going towards him as Noah was the first to ask. "Might you guys be looking for another member? My team isn''t diving today, but I still want to stretch my legs!" THRUM! His body tensed out as he released a powerful shockwave of strength, the Blessed in front of him looking towards him with shining eyes as the leader had a big smile. This was because they could now sense his strength at the Peak of Iron Rank! Having such a being on your team...was a blessing! "Haha of course. Come meet everyone else¡­" The party leader was jovial to gain a powerful Blessed to dive with them today as Noah went to mingle with the party. It had a single tank with a healer and the rest being damage dealers, Noah joining this designation as with him in the party, they were confident enough to clear the [Frozen Forest] before them. They queued up among the teams diving as within 20 minutes they went through, Noah stepping into the Frozen Forest with a new team as he moved towards his goal of having multiple Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode as he collected even more abundant rewards day and night! Chapter 11 - So That’s What It Feels Like! The Frozen Forest Dimensional Rift was exactly that- an enormous forest that spanned a few miles, frozen trees and ins of snow visible all around as within the forest...monsters of the Ice Attribute ran rampant. A team entering the Frozen Forest had to clear out all the monsters within before the Boss could be summoned, and they had to be careful that they didn''t stay in one ce or call too much attention to themselves, otherwise they could be swarmed by all nearby beasts. The party Noah joined thought he would take the lead as he was a Peak Iron Blessed, but he gave them a slight smile as he beckoned for the party leader to continue his role. Within the frosty environment of the Frozen Forest, Noah felt extremelyfortable while wrapped up on his zing Set Equipment, the fiery zing Armor and helm making him fully ignore the cold environment. GRRR The first Dimensional Beast appeared the moment they stepped foot in the Forest, Noah''s eyes shining as with his increased strength, he didn''t feel any ounce of pressure from such a Beast that he felt before. The beast was very simr to an Arctic Wolf, its sharp canines threatening to tear into the hearts of its enemies as the tank raised his shield and got ready to defend. From behind, Noah''s eyes became sharp as he felt his body moving, kicking up a flurry of snow as he found himself closing the distance of a few meters between him and the wolf rapidly as before he knew it, his zing Sword was striking down towards the head of the Arctic Wolf! ¡­! The party members observed the scene in shock as they saw Noah move extremely fast, their eyes widening as they saw his fiery sword smash into the ferocious head of the Arctic Wolf as a horrid sound rang out. SQUELCH! The Sword struck deep as it pierced into the head and caused brain matter to fly, the Dimensional Beast exploding into clusters of light soon after as Noah stood dominantly on the snowy field! One hit! One kill! "Hooo¡­" He breathed out slowly as he felt a sense of exhration fill his body, his eyes shaking as he finally felt the excitement he had hoped to feel since he transmigrated into this Ethereal Realm. The feeling of power that would course through your body. The feeling of taking down a fierce monster with a swing of your Sword! ''So that''s what it feels like!'' RUMBLE! Noah couldn''t help but release his aura at the Iron Rank, the gray wave of energy throwing up the snow around them as it caused some noise in the surroundings. The party members that were amazed by his strength just before adopted surprised looks at the release of power from the Blessed in front of them, but their gazes quickly changed as they began hearing the growls of beastse towards them. They, or more aptly Noah, had made too much noise as they drew the attention of surrounding beasts! "Protective formation!" The tank called out quickly as the party clustered together, but Noah''s eyes were still wild and filled with excitement as theynded on the figures of the 3 more Dimensional Beastsing towards them. His body that felt like it held limitless strength rushed towards the nearest one as he released an excited bellow! "OOOH!" He could release such a frightful bellow freely because he affirmed what he knew- Blessed at the Peak Iron Rank could very easily take care of themon monsters in Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts, their power nearing the Bosses of such Rifts as all they needed was support from a few other Blessed to easily clear Iron Rank Rifts! He had absorbed over 60 Peak Iron Rank Cores as he reached Peak Iron, his strength being something that would cause the envy of many new uing Blessed in the Academy. With the support of the Healer and tank that could take over to push back the monsters whenever Noah had to pull back and recuperate to regain his full strength, the party was able to clear the monsters of the Frozen Forest with rtive ease as the 2 damage dealers felt like they weren''t required! RUMBLE! The Boss monster of the Frozen Forest Rift was summoned after they spent over half an hour to clear the monsters of the few miles long Forest, a ferocious Dimensional Beast appeared in front of their eyes. ROAAAR! It was a huge 5 meter Mammoth, its tusks glistening with a dangerous light as it charged towards them. [Warrior''s Resolve]! The tank of their past used his energy as he cast what was rtively rare toe across among Blessed- it was a skill! THRUM! The body of the Blessed shone with a bright green light as he stood like a fortress with his shield raised high, stopping the advancement of the Mammoth as Noah and the other Damage dealers immediately swooped in tond ferocious attacks. With their swift teamwork and Noah''s high attack power that dug out chunks of burnt meat with every attack, the Boss of the Frozen Forest was bound to fall in a matter of minutes! Chapter 12 - A Second Rift On Idle Mode! BOOM! The fall of an enormous beast caused a raucous as the snow was blown everywhere, the Beast then bursting into innumerable lights as loot came out. A wondrous Frost Armor floated down along with 10 Cores, causing excitement to build on the faces of the party moments Noah joined with as they looked towards him with shining eyes. Since he had contributed the most during this Rift run, he had the first pick when it came to loot! But his next action surprised them all as they saw him grab the armor and throw it towards the party leader. "This is thanks for letting me team up with you guys!" Noah threw the Iron Ran Equipment over to them as a show of goodwill, knowing he wouldn''t have ventured into a dangerous Rift alone at the stage of strength he was at. If he got exhausted halfway through and couldn''t stop the onught of beasts or be able to stand against a Boss 1 v 1...only the sweet release of death awaited him for a second time! Besides, he already had multiple Iron Equipment, and with the addition of this Dimensional Rift into his Idle Gaming System...Equipment such as this Frost Armor would be flowing to him in great numbers just in the next few hours. The Blessed he partied with looked towards him like he was a Saint, the party leader handing Noah a Communication Medallion that was amon mode ofmunication in the Ethereal Realm. They could reach each other from vast distances by merely putting their energy into the medallion and speaking to let their voice travel on the other side! "Brother Noah, be sure to party with us again whenever you have the time! Just send me a message through the Communication Medallion and we will all be there¡­" The Blessed looked towards Noah like a fat sheep as they saw him discard an Equipment so easily, thinking he might be one of the Blessed that came from a powerful family as they wanted to form connections. They weren''t too far off as in a short period of time, Noah would be even more well off than the rich sons and daughters of huge organizations! At these words, Noah gave a light smile as he spoke out. "We can continue to party right now. Have you guys dived into the Verdant ins before?" His words shook the 4 Blessed as he asked about the 3rd Iron Ranked Dimensional Rift in Academy City, a Rift an hour away from their current location! But Noah spoke of it because he asked himself why he should wait before obtaining all three Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts in Academy City. What prevented him from getting thest one today as he enjoyed his next few days Idling while getting an obscene amount of loot?! The party leader didn''t expect this as he looked at his teammates while nodding, saying that they had ventured into it a few times. Noah could only smile brightly at this as he went towards the runic magic circle that appeared after the defeat of the Mammoth to leave the Frozen Forest Rift, his voice ringing out in the ears of the Blessed behind him. "Then...let''s go on a trip!" THRUM! Energy fluctuated out as the 4 party members looked wryly at each other while following. This powerful Blessed...was entric! Noah and the party of Blessed left the Frozen Forest Rift as they made their way through the vibrant Academy City towards yet another Iron Rank Dimensional Rift. On the way there, he nced at the Idle Gaming System interface. Next to the [Burning Domains Rift-IRON], a new square box had appeared as it contained the cartoonish graphic of a Mammoth, itsbel was [Frozen Forest Rift- IRON]! It had already entered Idle Mode as Noah saw the timer counting down from 48, the clearing of this Rift being much faster than his first one as the rewards woulde with even more frequency! His shining eyes then clicked on the [Burning Domains Rift-IRON] box that was shining with a golden light that indicated loot resources were ready for collection. It had been a few hours since hest collected, so the rewards were abundant! [+40 Idle Exp][+120 Iron Rank Cores][+9 Iron Rank Minotaur Shards][+130 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+2 zing Lance][+2 zing Boots] More and more Iron Cores rolled in as he gained yet another weapon and Armament from the zing Set, his steps light as he had a happy expression while moving with his makeshift team towards the verdant ins. If just a single Dimensional Rift had been able to push him to Peak Iron Rank after a day, he wondered what would happen when had three in Idle Mode! Academy City was vast, but therge majority of Dimensional Rifts were clustered in the center of the City. This was of course due to nning, many of the powerful organizations bending to the will of the Ruling Force of the Ethereal Realm as they built nearly all of theirplexes around the Dimensional Rift. The Rifts were looked at as a source of tremendous wealth and possibilities, but it seemed the truly powerful were somewhat wary of them as they acted with care. But Noah didn''t have to worry about any of this right now as after passing numerous conglomerates and Blessed Organizations, his little team arrived at thest Iron Rank Dimensional Rift in Academy City- the Verdant ins! The truly powerful Blessed didn''t pay too much attention to small Rifts like these as most Blessed Organizations could be found active on Bronze Ranked Rifts and above. The process for this Rift was as easy as the others, where the team had to simply wait in line before they could enter the gray glowing portal of the Verdant ins. Noah''s eyes were bright as their turn came and they entered, his heart filled with excitement as he was actually set to achieve his goal of having all 3 Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts in his Idle System just a day after he unlocked it! Chapter 13 - I’ve Been Too Active Lately The Verdant ins Rift was just as its name described. Expansive ins of green stretched throughout as the Monsters were...slow moving Treants! They were huge 5 meter tall Dimensional Beasts that packed quite the punch, the only saving grace being their slow speed as careful Blessed could slowly take them down until the Boss spawned. Since the Treats were all outstretched in the same ins, Noah could use his vigorous strength at Peak Iron Rank to tear down the thick defenses of the Treats as his fire weapon was truly deadly against them! All that was left was for the party of Blessed to reinforce him every now and then as he felt the vibrant skill of [Heal]nd on him when his armor got even the slightest scratch. The Healer was treating him extremely well as Noah enviously thought of the skills that she and the tank held. Unless a Blessed naturally awakened a skill or multiple naturally, obtaining skills could only be done one way- skill books! Such things didn''t even drop in Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts, the mobs in Bronze Rank Rifts being capable of rarely dropping lower ranking [Skill Books] or the Bosses of these Bronze Rank Rifts being capable of dropping skill books of the same rank as them. Noah would have to dive into a Bronze Rank Rift if he wanted to get his hands on a skill book, or he could of course use his newfound wealth to buy these expensive treasures from others¡­ His thoughts drifted away from skill books as he focused on the Treats his sword was shing apart, thest movie falling under his hands as a brilliant light shined out to announce theing of the Boss- the Verdant Treant! "Swarm this slow thing!" Noah shouted out to the other Damage dealers of the party as they moved forward rapidly, his heart set on clearing the Rift in as little time as possible for the maximum rewards on his Idle Systemter. ROAAAR! The Treat bellowed out angrily as the tank did a good job of keeping its aggro, Noah and the other Damage dealers moving in and out as the Boss was brought down in less than 8 minutes. "Haaa¡­" Noah breathed out heavily at the fall of the beast, watching the explosion of light as only Cores dropped from it! The Blessed went to go pick them up with a disappointed expression as the party leader thanked Noah for the smooth Rift dive once more. Noah only gave them a light smile as he waved goodbye, having achieved his goal of clearing three Dimensional Rifts and having them in Idle Mode as thisst one waspleted in less than 40 minutes! He had truly been too activetely, the past few hours all spent running around from one Dimensional Rift to another. He left the Verdant ins Rift as he enjoyed the sights of Academy City while heading towards the direction of the Blessed Academy. The beautiful grass ins behind the Academy was his all time favorite spot since his transmigration as he wanted to collect the Loot Resources of three Dimensional Rifts for the first time while lying down on his old spot. He needed to go back to his cking ways while enjoying the fruits of his hard work as with every passing hour...his Idle Gaming System would be working for him! He spent his time walking around Academy City as he arrived in the Blessed Academy an hourter. He made his way across the multiple departments of this enormous organization as he also passed all the busy Blessed, his body at this moment dressed in his usual clothes as the zing Set he had on had long since returned to his Inventory. He went behind the huge Academy as he returned to the swaying grass ins that looked even better than any garden he hade across before. A smile of satisfaction entered his face as heid down on the grass, his body being covered by them as one could barely make his figure out among the waving grasses! Over an hour passed since Noah had the three Iron Rank Rifts on Idle Mode, the earlier ones having had even more time under their belt. His eyes shone as he opened his eyes and focused on the Idle Gaming System, clicking on all of the Rifts at once, wanting to see the results of his hard world and what he should expect for the future! [+15 Idle Exp][+45 Iron Rank Cores][+1 zing Sword][+1 Frost Armor][+1 Verdant Shield][+1 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+1 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+1 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+90 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] The wondrous sight of loot he would have needed three hours to pass from a single Rift to receive...he got in under an hour from the 3 Rifts in total! One must also keep in mind the fact that the Frozen Forest had less than 50 minutes of clear time, and the Verdant ins had only 38 minutes of required Idle time before the cycle of loot could repeat¡­ This shocking fact meant that when the next day came...the loot resources Noah was about to obtain would make even Bronze Ranked Blessed feel like peasants in terms of wealth! RUMBLE! He felt his heart loudly beat in excitement as he couldn''t stop thinking of a glorious future... Chapter 14 - I Could Be A Wealthy Young Master! I Noah had worked hard in the morning and afternoon, having Idle Mode set up on 3 Dimensional Rifts simultaneously when it was already in the evening. He rxed among the tall verdant grasses on the field behind the Blessed Academy, very few Blessed taking the time toe back here as their hearts were set of Rifts and what they could do to get stronger from them. When someone did go behind the Blessed Academy, it was more than likely a crimson-haired girl that pushed herself to help her cker of a brother. The wind caused the grass to sway peacefully as Noah had a bright smile while rxing, the environment of this world being so fantastic that simply taking in the air from the surroundings felt wondrous. His eyes were following the green energies swirling on the grass around him as they soon wandered and began seeing the appearance of tall slender legs. Those legs...he recognized those legs. "Brother...why are you always here?" Annalise had appeared with a tired face as she stood above her brother, Noah rising up from the ground hey on as he looked at her with a light smile. The Dimensional Rift diving today must have been particrly stressful as the girl had tired eyes that didn''t seem to want to continue anymore! "It''s peaceful here. Away from the bustle of academy city, away from the maddened Blessed that are always busy doing something." Noah said this as he looked even further past the ins behind Academy City. Half a mile away, the ins turned into thick foliage and trees as they melded to form the start of a famous forest in the Academy City, a forest that the Blessed Academy itself normally had training exercises in. Annalise nodded at her brother''s answer as she sat down beside him. She didn''t expect her brother to ask her a question next. "Why do you work so hard to dive into Dimensional Rifts, little sister?" "...to change our position. Mom and dad have been stuck in the Bronze Rank all their lives as they only move like clock work for the past years diving into Rifts to get enough loot to sustain us as the process only repeats¡­" Annalise had unexpectedly found herself talking freely, her gaze hazy as mes of ambition could be seen in this girl''s eyes! This was the Blessed that had awoken an Inherent Skill that many genius Blessed held, a type of skill that propelled them to power if they utilized it and grew it well. It was something called an Inherent Growth Skill, something that grew with the power of the holder! Annalise''s Growth Skill was something that allowed her to be dominant in the Burning Domains Rift, the ability Noah had seen before when he observed her shooting extremely cold arrows to the me based monsters. |Ice Queen|. A growth ability with a dominant name that granted its holder the attribute of ice in all their attacks. Depending on what the Blessed that held it did, the skill could be grown in something terrifying, or it could be lost in the dredges of time as it amounted to nothing. Noah was a normal Blessed that had awakened with out such a perk, his situation being something therge majority of Blessed went through. "I want to grow strong enough that Bronze Rank isn''t the peak that I will be stuck on, so that I can tell mom she doesn''t have to risk her life every day with Teams of people that all have their own goals. Anything can happen you know? Any one of these days she could enter a Rift...and we might never hear from her again." THRUM! Shocking words came out of Annalise as Noah''szy eyes focused. The emotions of the body he took over seemed to be tumultuous as time passed! "It would be helpful if my older brother picked up some of the work and helped me as well." Annalise voiced out softly as she hugged her knees while staring in the direction of the far forest with glimmering verdant trees. Noah could only sigh as he rose up, giving her a light smile as his hand reached out to help her up. "Your older brother will surprise you in the next few days, I really wasn''t joking when I said that." "Mmm...let''s go home for now." The eyes of Annalise were filled with many thoughts as she merely nodded towards her brother with a smile, the two siblings beginning to walk back to their homes! They passed through the streets of Academy City and found the Complex their parents had managed to provide for them for all their lives, entering its folds as the hours quickly passed. Noah enjoyed the feeling of clicking the Idle Gaming System interface when 10+ hours had passed, the sight of arge collection of loot resources showing up at once having be an addicting feeling to him. Since around 5 pm in the evening, he didn''t collect any loot resources from the three Dimensional Rifts running in Idle Mode as he nned to give himself a surprise early in the morning! Chapter 15 - I Could Be A Wealthy Young Master! II In the early hours of the morning at around 6 am, Noah found himself waking up naturally as the bustle of activity could already be heard in the apartment. He rose from his bed as his eyes shone brightly, attracted towards the glowing box that held a golden sword representing his Idle Gaming System. Over 13 hours had passed since hest collected, and he purposefully waited for the overabundance of loot to stack. Entering the Idle Gaming System Interface, he saw the three Dimensional Rifts that were shining with a brilliant golden light. They were screaming...click on us and collect! ...and so he did. THRUUM! An eruption of a bright gold light, and a set of shocking words appeared in front of his eyes. [+215 Idle Exp][+585 Iron Rank Cores][+4 zing Armor][+7 zing Sword][+8 Frost Armor][+8 Frost Sword][+5 Frost Helm]+10 Verdant Shield][+6 Verdant Armor][+7 Verdant Spear][+15 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+20 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+24 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+1170 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] "...!" ''Is...is this allowed?'' Noah had a shocking thought as he stared at the information floating in front of his eyes. The significance of having cleared multiple Dimensional Rifts was so damn huge that it showed itself clearly after just half a day in Idle Mode! The Idle Experience that would have taken him 10 days to max and achieve the next level of his System...he received 1/5th of it in just half a day as he would at most need 2 more days before he could upgrade the System. The Iron Rank Cores...my goodness the Iron Rank Cores! He felt like he was wealthier than any young masters he had read about in the past as the number of Cores was truly extravagant. But most of all, the biggest surprises were the Loot Resources of the Frozen Forest and the Verdant ins that were much shorter than the Burning Domains Rift! The loot from these two Rifts had given him many resources this past night, his eyes honing in on the Mammoth and Variant Treant Unit Shards that had exploded in number. One must recall that he needed 100 Shards to summon a unit by his side, and he had received nearly one fourth of the required Shards from just this single night. This made for a shocking reality that stated after a day and a half or at most 2 days passed...he would be obtaining two Summonable Units he could use in real life and also in Idle Mode to decrease clearing time by a certain percentage! His mind was more focused on the fact that he could have them in reality...as it meant he could delve into Rifts by himself and clear them at shocking speeds with the aid of two Iron Rank Boss Monsters. That was two Rift Bosses...even if they were in the Iron Rank, it was something he could say with surety that he had never heard about before the few times he attended the sses in the Blessed Academy! Some Blessed were capable of using summoning skills of course, with others even being able to summon the terrifying undead or humungous beasts that made them renowned in the Light Continent. But to be capable of summoning Rift Bosses? No one could do so! Noah''s excitement was also shooting through the roof when he recalled the [Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals]! These could be used to enhance the strength of the Units even more as if he had enough of them, he could even evolve two Iron Rank Units into Bronze. When he thought of this idea and the possibility of him collecting Bronze or Silver Rank Rift Bosses to fuse in the future... ''Idle Gaming System...please stop! I''m already very impressed!'' Noah nearly screamed out as the palpating excitement threatened to cause a heart attack, the features of this System simply being too many as there were even more things to unlock with future upgrades. ''Two Summonable Boss Units in around 36 hours at the earliest, 48 hours at most¡­'' He made a few calctions as the reality of the wonders of having three Iron Rank Rifts on Idle Mode dawned on him, his eyes shining brightly as he felt the passage of time to truly not be moving as fast as it should! When he left his room, his parents and little sister had already gone out as a fulfilling breakfast was left behind for him. He had a light smile on his face as many thoughts swirled in his mind, his eyes filled with glorious purpose as today...he wanted to be a spendthrift! --- The vast Academy City held a great deal of establishments and businesses that were under the leash of powerful organizations. There was an over abundance of stores and shops that sold fantastical things, but Noah made his way to an Equipment Shop most Iron and Bronze Rank Blessed visited as he dared not step into the rich shops where arrogant Blessed strolled in. He nned to visit the luxurious stores where one could obtain the rare skill books, but his wealth had not yet ballooned up to such an extent as he might only be able to buy one of the lowest ranking Skill Books and be left penniless. He would first obtain a measure of protection, and then wait for a day or two to pass before he searched for a skill! He stood in front of the door of the shop as he read [Equipment Emporium] on the building, entering it silently as he stepped into a glistening new world of equipment and unique items. The shop already had a few patrons in early in the morning, multiple reception desks already upied as Noah nced at the inside of the store that had many Equipment lining up their shelves. Arge majority of them were of the Iron Rank, but he could see a number of Bronze Rank equipment and on the ceiling of this shop...he could see a glistening silver armor floating majestically! Silver Rank! His eyes squinted at the glorious armor as a voice shook him out of his thoughts. "How may we help you, sir?" A devilishly handsome guy with a serious expression appeared in front of Noah as he gave a light smile and spoke. "I came to buy some Bronze Rank equipment." "Oh? Right this way." A hint of surprise shed by the eyes of the worker as he led Noah towards a counter, handing him a book that held a list of items as well as their prices. With hundreds of Peak Iron Rank Cores that a normal Blessed could not even hope of gaining after years worth of hard work, Noah went into an Equipment Shop to choose equipment above his level to buff himself up! Chapter 16 - An Interrupted Slacker I When it came to equipment, the price difference between Iron and Bronze was over ten times. Going even further, the price difference between Bronze and Silver Ranks...was 100 times! It was a gulf that was extremely hard to cross for many beings as they stayed in lower ranks all their lives. To break through the status quo, one had to have an amazing Inherent Skill or be born in a rich household. Noah had no such things¡­.but he did have his Idle Gaming System! "Let me get [diator''s te] and the [Magma Sword]." Noah spoke out simply after looking through the list of Bronze Rank Equipment the man in front of him provided. The workers of this Equipment Emporium were extremely professional as Noah went snubbed orughed at when he came in with such a shocking request, the worker only smiling towards him with shining eyes as he spoke out their prices. "50 Bronze Cores for the Magma Sword, 60 Bronze Cores for the diator''s te." THUMP! The price caused Noah''s heart to beat faster as he remained calm, waving his hand towards the counter as he caused the appearance of 700 Iron Rank Cores. "You also ept Iron Cores, yes?" ¡­! rm filled the face of the worker as he sat up straight. It wasn''t because of therge amount of Iron Cores, even though this brought its own shock as a normal person would never carry that much with them- it was the action of waving his hands and causing the appearance of items from thin air! The worker of the Equipment Emporium nced on the ring fingers of this Blessed as he saw a simple ring on one of his fingers, his eyes shining as he assumed this Blessed was a rich young master that had already obtained a Space Ring and wasing out to splurge after taking hundreds of Cores from his parents or organization. The worker sat up straighter as he nodded. "Iron Cores are epted, with the price changing to 600 Iron Cores and 700 Bronze Cores respectively for the Equipment. How does Sir wish to pay for the Magma Sword?" The price conversion was over 10 times as 50 Bronze Cores weren''t even equivalent to 500 Iron, but 600 instead! The worker pulled the 700 Peak Iron Cores into the counter behind him as they disappeared, a pristine duffel bag holding within it the [diator''s te] appearing instead as Noah''s eyes lit up. He waved his hands once more as on the counter, one Iron Rank Equipment after another began to appear- ranging from the numerous zing Armors, Frozen Armors, zing Swords...and a variety of other Equipment Noah had been obtaining freely from his Idle Gaming System! The worker counted at least 15 items as he evaluated all of them, nodding his head as he spoke out. "We can take these for 700 Iron Cores or pay the difference of 100 and hand you the Magma Sword." Noah nodded at the worker as he worked quickly, all the items he set forth disappearing behind the counter as another duffel bag appeared in front of him. Two bags, two Bronze Rank Equipment! Noah put them in his inventory as he had long since put on a normal ring he found in his house to pass off as a Storage Ring, nodding towards the worker as he achieved his goal and was about to leave. "Here''s my business crystal. You can rely on our Equipment Emporium for all your Equipment needs up to the Silver Rank." The worker handed Noah a shimmering crystal that held a unique signature of the Equipment Emporium, this being something Noah could use whenever he stepped into this store again as it would send a signal to notify this worker in front of him toe take his business! As a worker, he received a portion of the sales profit- this being some of the jobs that Iron Rank Blessed took. Noah nodded towards the worker with a smile as he stepped out of the shop, passing through the streets of Academy City as he went towards the Blessed Academy. On days like today, there were a few sses urring where Bronze Rank hunters came to the Academy to share their knowledge, but Noah returned to his lush hiding ce filled with greenery behind the Academy as he nned to rx there the entire day while waiting! He was waiting for the time to pass quickly so he could collect all the required Unit Shards to summon two Rift Bosses, as he would then be confident enough to go into the three Rifts he had already cleared with these powerful creatures and bring his Clear Time even further down. The faster the clear time, the more abundant the rewards! With the Bronze Rank equipment he had just bought, he was more than confident enough to keep his little life while surrounded by Rift Bosses to clear Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts. This was especially so when he thought about the [Unit Upgrade Crystals]! Just how strong could he make the Rift Bosses with the hundreds of Upgrade Crystals he already collected? How many would it take to max them before they could bebined and evolved into a monstrous Bronze Rank Dimensional Beast? Noah''s mind truly swirled with a great deal of questions as he returned to his old peaceful hiding ce andy down, closing his eyes to rx. It felt really good to be a cker! Chapter 17 - An Interrupted Slacker II The bustle of Academy City was as vibrant as ever, with many powerful figures moving with their own goals. On this day, the Blessed moving around the Blessed Academy received shocking news that the personage that descended unto Academy City a few days ago...the 5th Ethereal Princess was visiting the Blessed Academy today! She had wandered across many establishments and Organizations in the past two days as she gave many big bosses that thought of themselves as kings of their domain a huge fright. Each of them knew of the invible power of the Ethereal Emperor and exactly what Royalty such as the 5th Ethereal Princess represented. So when the Chiefs of the Blessed Academy received this information, they moved frightfully to get the Blessed moving around the Academy in order as the fairy-like 5th Ethereal Princess came in while surrounded by Silver Ranked Guards. "Princess¡­it''s an honor to have you visit our humble academy¡­" A bright smile that pushed away any and all darkness could be seen on the 5th Princess as she nodded and spoke. "I had toe see the Academy that gets the next generations of Blessed ready for the dangerous Rifts. I won''t bother you guys for too long." THUMP! The Silver Rank Blessed that was in charge of the Academy along with a few other chiefs could feel sweat forming on his head as he nodded while trying to keep a smile on his face. "Please, take all the time you need¡­" The 5th Princess moved with her guards as the surrounding Blessed looked towards her with shining eyes and amazement. The demeanor of this personage was truly too grand! The Chiefs of the Academy began to work hard as they cleared the halls of the different departments to make sure no incidents urred, the Blessed that normally permeated throughout actually being moved out as the Chiefs observed the path of the Princess. The Armament Department was visited as the workers stood like statues, the Learning Halls that Noah never stepped into also being visited as while the Princess was on the second floor of the Learning Halls, she looked out the window to see a beautiful expanse of greenery in the back of the Academy. It gradually melded with thick foliage and vibrant trees as it formed into a thick forest that was a known site for Academy City- The Vibrant Forest that had a myriad of unique harmless animals! Her eyes lit up at the beautiful sight of the grasnd as it seemed extremely peaceful, making her way from the second floor and going towards the back of the Academy. There was a single archway entrance that led to the back, the Chiefs having already moved to clear out Blessed and make way as the Princess strolled in with her Silver Guards. She looked around the archway and their surroundings that seemed devoid of people, voicing out calmly to her guards. "Keep a look out here, I wish for some alone time." The lead Silver Ranked Guards nodded as his eyes scanned the surroundings while the line of guards stood to protect the archway that led to the back of the Academy. The 5th Princess strolled in alone as her hands passed over the vibrant grass that rose to her knees, enjoying this peaceful feeling she couldn''t get from the Imperial City as she stared out toward the expansive greenery around her. The Silver Guards behind her kept a close look as they saw her walk further in, the Princess stopping at a certain point as she breathed in deeply and...sat down. Coincidences and chance meetings rarely happen. But when they do, one would find themselves wondering- was it truly by chance, or something else? --- Noah''s body was lying down among the tall grasses as always, his figure barely discernible among the waving nts as he felt extremelyfortable. He had been rxing for the past few hours as many ns flowed in and out of his mind, asionally falling asleep while enjoying the peace this ce brought him. This time, he was taken out of his rxation as he felt a change in the surroundings, the smell of verdant greenery reced by a whiff of...perfume? It was an extremely enticing smell as he opened his eyes groggily while raising his head. When he did, he found his eyesnding on a ridiculously beautiful girl a few meters away, the silver hair on her head vibrantly cascading down to her shoulders as he was immediately woken out of his grogginess. His mind worked fast as he seemed to recall seeing this figure from far away before, his heart beginning to beat faster as he felt a foreboding sensation! What was most shocking when he raised his head was the fact that on the face of this peerless beauty...he could see a line of tears seamlessly dropping from her eyes! "..." When his head rose, so did hers as her colorful blue eyes locked with his own vibrant blue eyes. The tears on her face stopped flowing. They immediately disappeared from her cheeks as if they never existed. Her eyes locked on the being that was seeminglying out of a groggy sleep and trying to get up as she spoke silently. "Do not raise your head any further if you wish to keep it on your shoulders." Her voice clearly and silently rang in Noah''s ears as it didn''t travel far, not alerting the guards that were lined up on the archway and watching their surroundings carefully! She did not want this poor boy who was most likely just resting here to be mistaken for an enemy or assassin, hey blue eyes sparkling with light as she kept her voice low. "There are 10 Silver Ranked Blessed behind me that are just waiting for an excuse to prove their power." Noah heard her voice again as his heart shook, his head sinking back right where it was as he breathed out slowly. He really liked that his head was still attached to his body. He did not want that to change. His breath quieted down as he calmed his beating heart, understanding the stupid situation he had found himself in as he cursed multiple times in his mind. All he wanted to do was rx and Idle as he collected Loot, why the hell did this Princess choose to interrupt his time like this?! Chapter 18 - Rift Bosses And System Upgrade! I The verdant grass continued to sway with the wind behind the ins of the Blessed Academy as the 5th Ethereal Princess sat peacefully. The man lying down not too far away stared at the sky while he thought of the ridiculousness of this important being just happening to be visiting his rxing spot and causing this whole situation. His expression became serious as he also recalled the dangers of it, his voice ringing out softly. "I didn''t see anything." He thought of the tears he had seen fall from this girl as he said this, waiting for a few seconds before her voice rang out in his ears again. "That''s right. It''s best if you didn''t see anything." Silence descended onto the green ins before her voice rang out again. "Your name?" "...Noah Eckert." Noah replied carefully as his mind continued to spin, adding a question himself. "Yours?" The grass swayed peacefully as no reply came, Noah waiting an entire half a minute before he heard the sweet voice again as it came with a sigh. "Rose. I''ll be leaving now, don''t leave this area for at least another hour if you don''t want to be wrongly implicated in anything." Noah stayed silent to voice his affirmation as he stared at the vibrant blue sky, feeling the smell that had woken him up gradually fade away. He had no problem staying in the verdant ins for another hour. It was his rxation spot, after all! His mind was already locking away the memories of the girl that was crying and what her identity was. As an Iron Rank Blessed, he couldn''t even afford to think of Silver Rank Blessed at this moment, much less a being that was protected by 10 of them! He also wasn''t a knight in shining armor that would begin peering into the business of the crying girl asking what he could do to help. A chance meeting. An exchange of names...and that was it! Neither person knew if they would ever meet again, nor did either of them care. One wanted to continue his days Idling with no issues, the other had her own weight on her shoulder as to her, this was only a small unimportant meeting she would soon forget about. So the time passed. ---- The visit of the 5th Ethereal Princess to the Blessed Academy turned out to be brief, the Chiefs seeing her out as they breathed sighs of relief as activities resumed to normal. In the green ins, Noah loved his little life so much that he enjoyed his rxation for another 2 hours before he even raised his head and left the ins to begin heading back home. The visit was nothing too important in his eyes as he didn''t wish to embroil himself in any way with powerful beings while he was still so weak. Stay low and be Idle. That should be his motto for the days toe! He went back home as he chose to wait on collecting the Loot Resources that had been filling up since this morning, wanting to see what a full 24 hours would provide when he collected all of them at 6 am tomorrow. He had managed to get in the routine as nothing deviated from it aside from the chance meeting earlier today, returning home and into his bed with ease as the night quickly passed. When the nket of the night washed over Academy City, it didn''t be quieter, and instead became even livelier as it was the time that Blessed went out in full to enjoy themselves. After a day''s work of diving into dangerous Rifts, many of them could be seen in vibrant establishments that held a deal of voracious food, men, and women. But Noah didn''t have any of this in his mind as he peacefully slept! --- When he woke up early in the morning, over 24 hours had passed since hest collected loot resources from the Idle Gaming System. His bright eyes swept over the system as he was really close to opening it watch the shower of golden light bloom into numerous text boxes, but he stopped himself as he went to grab breakfast. He knew that he needed a minimum of 36 hours or a max of 48 before he could definitely max the shards he needed for the Rift Bosses from the Frozen Forest and the Verdant ins, as well as getting the Idle Exp he needed to upgrade to the next level of the System! ''Be patient...be patient¡­'' He knew that if he clicked on it now, a shower of loot would wash over him as he would be happy to see it briefly, and would then gruel over the rest of the day as he waited for the hours to pass and thest Unit Shards and Idle Exp he needed to pool in. So he forced himself to be patient! Everything seemed the same in the Eckert household as he mingled with his family, watching as they left to begin their days as always with a smile. He stayed behind as today would be a momentous day, and he couldn''t bother to leave his home in case another dumb ident urred. So hezed around the entire day as the hours passed. Noah was extremely decisive as he let 15 hours pass freely, spending a majority of it eating, nning, and rxing in his home. The entire day passed as it was now 10 pm at night. It was now close to 40 hours since hest collected his loot resources! His voracious eyes could not wait any longer, entering the Idle Gaming System Interface as he found the three Dimensional Rifts to be shining a brilliant luster of gold! They foretold what abundant rewards would be seen from waiting for so long. RUMBLE! A bright golden light shone from Noah''s room. A line of data appeared. [+795 Idle Exp][+1845 Iron Rank Cores][+14 zing Armor][+7 zing Spear][+12 Frost Shield][+15 Frost Sword][+15 Frost Boots][+21 Verdant Shield][+15 Verdant Armor][+17 Verdant Helm][+51 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+79 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+88 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+3457 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] Glorious lines of words that represented maxed out Idle Exp, numerous Iron Equipment and Unit Upgrade Crystals, as well as...over 100 Unit Shards for 2 Rift Bosses! Chapter 19 - Rift Bosses And A System Upgrade! II Noah''s eyes shone with a bright light at the number of loot, his eyes honing in on the most important one to him on this day. It was the Iron Rank Verdant Treant and Mammoth Shards that now gave him a total of 100 Shards for both Units! It meant he could now Summon two Iron Rank Rift Bosses¡­ Rift Bosses! DING [Idle Exp requirement met. Upgrade System level?] A notification sound and bright blue words appeared in front of his eyes, his mind sending his affirmation as he screamed yes! RUMBLE! A glorious golden light shone from his interface as it looked like it was glistening on all sides, only dimming after an entire minute as Noah''s eyes hungrily searched for changes. The icon interface looked even more sleek as the borders shimmered with gold lines, and he didn''t have to search for the changes himself as the information flowed in his mind. [System Sessfully Upgraded. Unlocked The Tower of Champions. Idle Exp required for next level: 10,000.] [Tower of Champions] :: A Unique Dimensional Rift that spans across dimensions and time. It currently contains 1000 Floors that the Master of the Idle Gaming System can try clearing for great rewards. A brand new feature he couldn''t wait to explore appeared in front of him, but there were even more surprises as the text boxes of the system continued to appear! [The 100 Shards requirement has been met for two Units. Combine?] ''Combine!'' RUMBLE! A brilliant blue light shone once more as the 100 Shards for the Mammoth and Treat disappeared from Noah''s inventory, his eyes watching as on the System Interface that had the cartoonish image of himself where he could click to view his status panel, 5 circles appeared around it. At this moment, two of those circles shone with intense light as the images of a Mammoth and a Treat were ced in! [2 Units are now avable for summoning. The Master of the Idle Gaming System currently has a maximum of 5 Unit Slots and can summon up to 5 Units at the same time.] "..." More and more wonders appeared in front of Noah as he could barely contain his breathing. He wanted to try out every single new feature and test his gains, but he couldn''t do anything in his small room at this moment! His shining eyes honed in on the new feature of the Tower of Champions as many thoughts swam in his mind. In the Interface, the Tower of Champions was ced to the far right of the square Dimensional Rift boxes as it had the image of an obsidian tower that tore through the skies. He chose to first test out this Tower as he focused on it, its square bing expanded as it filled the entire screen. On the screen, Noah could see a single gray doorbeled 1 in front of him, and when his eyes rose up...he could see countless other doors that continued at 2, 3, 4¡­ His eyes could barely see past the 100th door as the Tower of Champions looked absolutely massive. He looked to the right side of the first door as he saw something that made his eyes shine. [Rewards for clearing the 1st Floor] :: [+500 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Iron Rank Cores], [+1 Random Iron Equipment]. The ster rewards for clearing the first floor appeared, and Noah saw that they were all the same for the higher floors until his eyes reached the 5th floor, his eyes went even further up as he saw the 6th until the 9th floor also had simr rewards, barely being able to read to rewards for the 10th floor that also seemed different. It meant that every 5 floors, the rewards changed as they became even more abundant! Aside from the ones listed before, Noah saw the addition of two extra rewards for clearing the 5th Floor. [Rewards for clearing the 5th Floor] :: ¡­[+1 Bronze Rank Equipment], [+25 Random Bronze Rank Unit Shards. "..." The Tower of Champions had enticed him so much that his eyes shone while he gave themand. ''Enter the Tower!'' THRUM! The moment hismand was given, a unique light tore through space as it wrapped around Noah''s body...leaving behind a sh of light as his figure disappeared from his room! A unique spatial energy wrapped and carried him to who knew where, but when his eyes opened, he found himself in an entirely different space. OOOM! He looked around to see that he was in a dreary space, billowing clouds of darkness covering everything around him as he seemed to be in an enclosed circr space. Within this space, he could only see a single gray portal that had the number 1! [Wee to the waiting area of the Tower of Champions. Here, the Master of the System can take their time to get ready before they delve into the Tower.] The blue text box floated in front of Noah as he nodded with shining eyes, looking towards the portal a few more times before he looked into the system interface and focused on the images of two Rift Bosses that now upied 2 of his 5 Unit Slots. "Summon the 2 Iron Rank Units!" RUMBLE! A sh of gray light, and swirls appeared above him as two enormous figures descended. BOOM! They caused vibrations to spread on the ground he stood on, his eyesnding on the ferocious looking Dimensional Beasts that upied positions as Rift Bosses. "ROAR!" The Mammoth bellowed out grandly as the enormous tusks on it shone with a glimmer of light, the Verdant Treat swaying dangerously as its thick moving branches threatened to pulverize any enemies in sight. Their eyes fell to Noah as they looked towards him subserviently. Two Rift Bosses, gazing towards him so he could give themmands! "Haha, good!" Noah could not help but release a vibrant bellow himself, getting ready to test out all the new features! Chapter 20 - The Tower Of Champions Before Noah jumped into the swirling gray portal that led into the first floor of the Tower of Champion, he thoroughly looked at his two summoned Rift Bosses as he pulled up the number of Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals. [Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] :: Crystals that can be used to upgrade the strength of the Summons. When two Iron Rank Summons achieve Peak Iron Rank, Evolution through fusion into the next tier is possible. Currently avable Crystals: 5252 He wanted to utilize the crystals as he found out exactly how much he needed before he could make the Rift Bosses rise to Peak of Iron Rank and have it be possible to cause an Evolution into a Bronze Rank Rift Boss. If he could truly make that into a reality...the sheer thought caused him to tremble! One must know that Bronze Rank Rifts were 10 times harder than Iron Rank ones, with a team of at least 10 Bronze Rank Blessed required to fully beat all the mobs up to the Rift Boss. Even the Peak Iron Rank Blessed that wanted to graduate into the Bronze Rank, they had to either be carried by a Bronze Team or form a Team of 20+ Iron Blessed to stand a chance of clearing the Rift. Yet Noah...would be able to fuse his units and call forth a Bronze Rank Dimensional Rift Boss the moment he raised their power to the Peak¡­ He wasted no time as he gave themand to use the Unit Upgrade Crystals on the fearsome Mammoth first! [Frost Mammoth] :: An Iron Rank Unit that has ferocious skills of the ice attribute. 0/500 Unit Upgrade Crystals required to advance from Low to Middle Rank. 500 Crystals were required, and so he paid them! RUMBLE! Energy wildly erupted out as Noah paid the required number of Unit Upgrade Crystals- the body of the Mammoth shone brightly while letting out another roar as it grew noticeably bigger while its tusks became even sharper. The count of Crystals on it then changed to 0/1000 to advance! Noah paid this as well as the Mammoth expressed even more dangerous might, the count of crystals changing to 0/2000 to Max Out the Unit! This was also paid for as only after 3500 Unit Upgrade Crystals did the body of the Mammoth explode with a shining light as it became twice as big as before, its trunk bellowing out grandly as it announced the arrival of a king. OOOOH! Noah had to plug his ears as they nearly ruptured, looking towards the fearsome creature that now towered over 6 meters! It looked absolutely monstrous as Noah gulped with envy while looking at the ferocious aura it released. This was nearly double if not more of the power he felt when he faced the Iron Rank Rift Bosses before! Such a Beast was his tomand¡­ He couldn''t help but let out a smile as his eyes turned towards the Verdant Treant. He only had 1752 Unit Upgrade Crystals left, and he pumped all of them into the Treant as it shone with a beautiful green color while bing evenrger. He just needed a bit less than 2000 Unit Upgrade Crystals to max this Unit as well, and he could then fuse the both of them to cause an evolution and bring forth a Bronze Unit! His eyes turned towards the first portal of the tower as he gave amand, the Bronze Rank equipment he bought falling on his body as the Magma Sword was grasped tightly on his hand, the shining red light it released brightening up the waiting area as the diator''s te armor made him look like a seasoned warrior. "Let''s go!" He walked inrge strides towards the glowing portal as his eyes were locked on its rewards, and the even more abundant ones present every 5 levels! WAP! The figures of one man d in a Bronze Rank armor and sword entering a portal while being followed by 2 Iron Rank Dimensional Beasts could be seen in the waiting area of the Tower of Champions. Noah felt weightlessness as his vision went dark, only restoring itself a secondter as he saw he was teleported into a dreary environment! [The first level in the Tower of Champions had 50 Iron Rank Undead that need to be cleared.] The Blue text box appeared in front of him as he nodded, his eyes looking at his surroundings as he found himself standing in front of a small dark castle. The castle had clouds of mist covering it as growls could be heard inside, Noah seeing for himself the figures of 3 armored skeletons standing in front of the door that led into the castle! The first enemies he faced were surprisingly the rare undead, relentless creatures that fought with immense vigor and were the bane of many Blessed in high ranking dungeons. "Mammoth...obliterate them!" Noah''s eyes shone as he looked at the 3 nearest undead, the Rift Boss hemanded roaring out as it began charging forward! ROAAR! The undead reacted the moment the charge began as they raised their rusted swords, but the glimmering tusks of the fearsome Mammoth smashed into them too quickly as bones went flying. BOOM! The door leading into the castle was also destroyed as from the corner of his eyes, Noah saw the counter that stated 3/50 pop up. The power of the enhanced Iron Rank Rift Boss showed itself clearly as it smashed two Iron Skeletons into bones with a single strike while charging into the Undead Caste! "Good! Treant, let''s go!" Man and tree then followed the destructive trail of the Mammoth as they delved deeper into the castle, smashing every enemy they came across as the normal undead could not even withstand the two Rift Bosses. Noah himself wielded the two Bronze Rank Equipment to take down a few undead, the Bronze Magma Sword spurting out a ssh of scorching molten Magma with every strike as it made his battles with the Undead extremely easy! None of them could get through his defenses with diator''s te as they all fell to his summoned Rift Bosses and the swings of his powerful sword. The 50 Iron Rank Undead in the first level didn''t take too long to defeat as Noah swept the small undead castle, finally causing the skeleton head of thest undead to fall on the floor as the counter reached 50/50! RUMBLE Energy erupted out to cover him and his pets the moment the counter hit 50, their sights changing ad they found themselves return to the waiting room once more. The portal that made the first level shook as it surprisingly burst in front of them, the one leading to the second floor descending down like an elevator as it took over the space! [First Floor cleared. Rewards are in the Inventory.] The text box showed itself in front of Noah as his glowing eyes searched his interface, finding the promised rewards inside of it! [+500 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random 1 Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Iron Rank Cores], [+1 Random Iron Equipment]. He received another 500 Unit Upgrade Crystals as he pumped them into the Verdant Treant right away, leaving only 1500 Crystals left for this unit to reach Peak Iron where he could then fuse it to the Mammoth. There were also 25 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards that he would get at every level, where he couldbine 100 to summon another Iron Unit. Lastly, the loot drops he hadn''t had ess to before, the Equipment Upgrade Crystals were dropped in this Tower of Champions as he would be able to upgrade Equipment! There were too many wondrous things about this Tower, but he considered the Unit Upgrade Crystals and Iron Rank Unit Shards as the most important- so he gave amand to the Frost Mammoth and Verdant Treant to rush into the 2nd level of the Tower of Champions as he wanted to obtain these and strengthen himself greatly as soon as possible... Chapter 21 - Undercurrents, Fusing A Bronze Beast! I As Noah began climbing the Tower of Champions, a great deal of things were urring in the background within the Academy City. Since the entrance of the 5th Ethereal Princess, many more powerful figures from surrounding cities had descended onto Academy City behind the dark and openly! Their goals were unknown, but the status of an Ethereal Princess meant many important figures would swarm towards her wherever she was. Maybe it was her suitors from the Imperial Capital, maybe it was other beings that had their own intentions! But each of them began to appear silently in the Academy City as enormous vessels began to permeate through the skies. The knowledgeable powerhouses within the Academy City that were within the Silver Rank either curried favor or stayed clear of the new visitors, knowing that the personages from the powerful cities brought opportunity as well as dangers. And neither of them wanted to be on the side of danger when it came to these beings! In an extravagant establishment where only the most important beings could reside, the figure of the 5th Imperial Princess could be seen as she was listening to a report from one of her trusted guards. "No others have entered the City?" "...no, Princess. Aside from some trashy nobles from the Imperial City and a few other Cities, we haven''t seen any others that arrived here publicly." The Silver Rank Guard replied carefully while ncing at the solemn 5th Princess not too far away. This female guard was one of the beings closest to the Princess, and even now she had slight hesitation on her face as she seemed to want to ask something! "No need to hold it in, Natasha. Speak your mind." The voice of the Princess rang out as the guard nodded while hesitatingly asking. "Princess, if I may ask...why did the Crown Prince send you here at such a time?" She worded the question carefully as she made sure to ask nothing out of bounds, the 5th Princess adopting a saddened expression as she replied. "It is a test. I am merely a tool that my brother is using to sound out our enemies. Sending someone of Imperial Blood rtively unprotected in an average sized city¡­" She looked outside the window of the grand room she was in as she continued. "...it is to test whether the Will of the Ethereal Emperor is still respected by our enemies, or whether they have grown strong and confident enough over the years." ¡­! rm rose on the guard''s face as she didn''t expect such a shocking reply. "But...what about your father? What of the Ethereal Emperor?!" "Father, huh¡­" The 5th Princess had a distant expression as she replied nkly, seemingly lost in thought as the guard stopped asking questions. Under the vibrant and peaceful Ethereal Realm, undercurrents were waving in the dark as all was not what it seemed! --- Meanwhile, a certain transmigrator was passing his time in the Tower of Champions as he put in some work! Noah delved into the Tower as some time passed, the high battle power of his summoned Rift Bosses being able to easily clear the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the Tower with ease as only variations of 50 Undead were present on each floor. Passing the fourth floor granted Noah plenty of treasures as he was able to achieve 100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards from the 25 of each level, as well as obtain a total of 2000 Unit Upgrade Crystals that meant he could enhance the Verdant Treant to the Peak of Iron...then gaining the ability to fuse it to the Mammoth to make a Bronze Rank Rift Boss! RUMBLE! Noah wasted no time as he gave themand tobine the 100 Random Unit Shards into a Unit, a shining light erupting from the waiting area that held the portal to the 5th level waiting- a new unit appearing in front of Noah''s eyes. It was something unique he hadn''te across before, his eyes opening wide as he saw the appearance of a...Sunflower! [Golden Sunflower] :: A mutated Dimensional Beast that is proficient in recuperative and healing abilities. It currently has the [Heal] and [Detoxify] skills in its arsenal. A swaying sunflower about 1 meter in size appeared in front of him as Noah nearlyughed. He was more joyful as a pet with a skill set to act like a priest was extremely rare, this one having two skills just for that purpose! He nodded towards it as it swayed happily behind him. His eyes then focused on the Frost Mammoth and Verdant Treant on the side that had their bodies shining with a bright gray glint! They had both reached the Peak of Iron Rank as they now fit the requirements to be fused together to evolve under the system. In just days after awakening his Idle Gaming System, Noah was now about to get his hands on a Dimensional Rift Boss a level higher than himself! Chapter 22 - Undercurrents, Fusing A Bronze Beast! II [Two Units match the requirements for fusion and evolution. Start the process?] A prompt came to Noah a secondter as he nodded, his eyes locked with the two Iron Rank Units that had begun to shine with a glorious light. If all things were perfect, he would have actually chosen to fuse the Treant with the newly arriving Sunflower as their elements matched, but he wouldn''t obtain all the required Iron Unit Upgrade Shards to bring the Sunflower to the peak for at least a day or two. Within this same timespan of collecting Upgrade Shards, he would also receive 100 more shards to simply summon another Treant from his Idle Rewards of the Dimensional Rifts, so he nned to still make this fusion in the future to see what woulde out of it! The glorious lights that thebined Mammoth and Treat shone with rushed towards each other as they began to meld together, swirling in a shocking umtion of energy as a bright light erupted out for an entire 10 seconds before thebination and evolution was finished! From 2 Iron Rank Units, a single Bronze Rank Beast was born! Noah''s eyes adjusted to the light as theynded on the newly fused creature, observing a mountainous being over 8 meters ncing towards him with a sharp light. It stood on its own two feet as it had huge arms with white green fur, it''s head looking ferocious as two sharp Bronze tusks erupted out on either side of its mouth! A Beast from the mixture of ice and earth element had appeared! [Greenins Yeti] :: A rare creature at the Bronze Rank that survives in the most extreme environment due to its nature. Its defenses are second only to its ferocious quick burst attacks that will tear down its enemies. It currently has the [Thorn Armor], [Frozen Charge], and the [Mountainous Strike] in its arsenal. A Bronze light could be seen covering its body as a powerful Bronze Rank Rift Boss appeared for Noah tomand! ROAAR! It bellowed out grandly to announce its arrival, the green white fur of this creature shining in the light as Noah had a big smile while looking at it. "Let''s go!" He wanted to test out its power right away as hemanded itsrge arms to touch the portal leading to the 5th level of the Tower of Champions as Noah and the Golden Sunflower entered a secondter! Every 5 levels of the Tower granted more abundant rewards, but they were that much harder to clear as the Dimensional Beasts within...were truly powerful. Within the 5th level, Noah found that it wasn''t the same dreary Undead castle he had appeared in 4 times before, but a field of gray that had its ground filled with bones. Not too far from where they appeared, the glimmering outlines of 5 Skeleton atop horses could be seen waiting gloriously. [The fifth level in the Tower of Champions has 5 Iron Rank Rift Boss Undeads that need to be cleared.] RUMBLE! The eyes of the Undead Rift Bosses- the Duhans, shone with an intense red light as they began to charge towards them. Even a single Iron Rift Boss would need cooperation from many Iron Blessed, and this was even more so if they were in the Undead subtype. Yet as Noah faced the charge of 5 Iron Rank Rift Bosses, he wasn''t the slightest bit worried as he only saw them as small obstacles! This was because he currently had...a Bronze Rift Boss as a pet. "Rip them apart, Yeti." ...ROAR! The 8 meterrge Yeti was 3 metersrger than the Duhans, its overpowering figure looking towards the Undead with disdain as its thick legs vibrated, kicking up snow as it instantly shot forward! [Frozen Charge] was cast as ice bloomed from the feet of the Yeti, its advancement being so abrupt that it appeared in front of the charging Irom Rift Bosses in a second, its thick arms smashing into them. BOOM! The clutter of bones could be heard as the 2 closest Duhans received such a shocking force that their armored bodies and horses shattered on impact, the other 3 blown back as their skeleton cluttered! WAA! The Yeti wasn''t done as it relentlessly cast another skill, its furred arms beginning to coalesce with unstable sharp ice and earth elements as they turned mountainous in front of the eyes of the 3 Undead Rift Bosses. [Mountainous Strike] was cast as the elements of ice and earth swirled, the expanded arms of the Yeti swiping towards the three Undead as energy furiously exploded out from the impact! BOOOM! "..." Noah had his mouth agape at the dominating show of power from this Bronze Rift Boss, his eyes focusing on the clearing scene as he saw the remaining 3 Undead Bosses were nothing but more bones on the ground they were on. All that was left above the field of bones was a Greenins Yeti that raised its head arrogantly while its legs crushed a skull that had residual energy below it. Powerful! Dominating! This was a Bronze Rank Rift Boss that Noah nowmanded! SHAA! Their figures were teleported from the cleared floor and returned to the waiting area as Noah still nced towards the Yeti in shock. Rewards simr from the first floors entered his inventory as among them, he also gained Bronze Rank Equipment Shards and Unit Shards. [Rewards for clearing the 5th Floor] :: ¡­[+1 Bronze Rank Equipment], [+25 Random Bronze Rank Unit Shards The rewards on every 5th floor were truly abundant! Noah''s eyes shone while ncing at the rewards, his eyes then focusing on the Greenins Yeti as he wondered just how high he could climb the Tower while collecting its abundant rewards! Chapter 23 - BRONZE I The 6th to 9th floor were rtively easy with the Greenins Yeti at the helm, the remaining the dreary environment of Undead as they changed from Undead Skeletons to Undead Knights and Duhans! Every level was filled with over 100mon Iron mobs as well as 3-5 Rift Bosses, Noah tearing through them with ease as the Greenins Yeti didn''t even give the Golden Sunflower a chance to be injured and use its healing skills. Noah ran in conjunction with his pets as the Yeti acted like a tank that tore through everything, a few hours passing by. From the rewards of the 5th floor, Noah had gotten a [Pdin''s Helm] for the Bronze Rank equipment. His head being washed by afortable white light as he ascended up the Tower. This made his body now be d with 3 pieces of Bronze Equipment when he was still in the IRON Rank! An overabundance of rewards greeted him from the 6th Floor, but his eyes didn''t register on them as he was looking at the rewards for clearing the 10th floor. [Rewards for clearing the 10th Floor] :: ¡­[+1 Bronze Rank Equipment], [+25 Random Bronze Rank Unit Shards], [+25 Bronze Rank Cores],[+500 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+5 Health Potions], [+5 Mana Potions] A wondrous disy of treasures he could obtainy in front of his eyes, his heart particrly being drawn to the 25 Bronze Rank Cores! Here he expected to have to go to the Blessed Academy to get his Blessed Licence first before he could begin descending into the Bronze Dimensional Rifts to collect Bronze Cores to increase his rank, never had he expected to get them through this new feature that was the Tower of Champions! Many mysteries surrounded it and his Idle Gaming System, but he dared not even question it as he continued his own thing. Among the rewards, there were also the Health and Mana potions that he knew were rarities to make in the Ethereal Realm, as well as Bronze Rank Upgrade Crystals for him to finally increase the strength of the Greenins Yeti even further! The enticing rewards made him not waste even a second as a man, a Sunflower, and an enormous Yeti shed away to the 10th floor instantly! --- While Noah pierced through the Tower, many things continued to ur in Academy City. On this particr day under the cover of the night, a party of dark robed figures that counted over 10 in number silently entered the City. They didn''t leave any traces as they used the cover of the night to enter the Vibrant Forest that was a mile away from the Blessed Academy. Even though they were robed, one could still see the glimmers of silver around them that represented a shocking level of power! They sat in a circle in the dark forest where one could barely see another person a few feet away, but these Silver Rank experts could see around them as if it were day time. "We''ll be here very briefly, in and out. As soon as our mission isplete and we confirm the target, disperse!" The leader of these beings voiced out with a gruff voice as the others nodded. It was a fear inducing talk that had many implications, but the eyes of the robed Silver experts remained cold and merciless! The leader''s eyes shone with light as he looked to the dark skies while muttering something. "Change ising¡­" RUMBLE! --- The 10th floor was simr to the 5th as Noah found himself on a field of bones, but this time there was a single enemy in front of him. To clear the 10th floor, one had to actually be strong enough to take down a Bronze Rank Rift Boss! [The tenth level in the Tower of Champions has 1 Bronze Skeleton King that needs to be cleared.] Noah had his own Rift Boss as a pet, the Yeti roaring towards the Skeleton King that had glorious red light shooting from its eyes while it wielded an enormous sword. BOOM! The charge of the Yeti was stopped by the Skeleton King, the Beast finally meeting someone on its own level as it didn''tpletely bulldoze its way through! But would the Skeleton King truly be able to hold back a fused Rift Boss with 3 skills? Noah didn''t wait for the answer as he opened his inventory to use the 100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards to summon another Unit, knowing his little old self could not get anywhere near a battle between two Bronze Rank Bosses unless he wanted his little life to be taken away. The Golden Sunflower was swaying gently by the side as it provided a [Heal] when it saw the Sword of the Skeleton King drawing blood from the sturdy fur of the Yeti. THRUM! Energy fluctuations flew out as Noah''s thoughts were heard, the Unit Shards in his Inventory disappearing as a brand new Unit materialized in front of his eyes. [Earth Golem] :: A sturdy creature made up of stones, it can assemble and disassemble its body as it acts as a great protector. It has the [Stone Guard] and [Pristine Stone Armor] skills among its arsenal. A new unit had entered the scene! Chapter 24 - BRONZE II Yet another Unit appeared in front of Noah, this one sadly not the damage dealer he wanted but for the enemy in front of them, it would do! "Go!" Noah gave themand for the Earth Golem to aid the Yeti, this creature turning into rolling stones that made their way over to the Skeleton King. The rolling stones appeared beneath the 2 battling beasts as they coalesced around the feet of the Skeleton King, holding this beast in ce as the stones took a pristine Unbreakable appearance! [Pristine Stone Armor] was cast as the Earth Golem used the unique features of its body to hold the Bronze Beast hostage for a few seconds. These few seconds...were all the Yeti needed as itsrge furred hands glimmered with a green and white light. OOOOH! [Frozen Charge] and [Mountainous Strike] were cast at the same time as the figure of the Yeti barreled towards the Skeleton King like a bullet train, smashing its crowned head with its huge furred hands as a horrific Crack could be heard. BOOOM! With the inclusion of another Unit holding it down, the Skeleton King didn''tst long as within the next minute, its bones lost all the strength holding it together as it crumbled to the ground. "Haha!" Noah wasughing gleefully in the distance as he saw the tired Units defeating a Bronze Rift Boss, all of their bodies shing with light as they were teleported back to the waiting area! The ster rewards of the 10 floor appeared in front of his eyes. [Rewards for clearing the 10th Floor] :: ¡­[+1 Bronze Rank Equipment], [+25 Random Bronze Rank Unit Shards], [+25 Bronze Rank Cores],[+500 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+5 Health Potions], [+5 Mana Potions] Noah located the rewards in his inventory, his eyes honing in on the 25 Bronze Rank Cores! Blessed would need to go through a tiresome process of getting a Licence and forming a huge team to descend down Rifts before they could put their lives on the lines to obtain such Cores and break through the shackles of IRON, yet Noah got them as the reward for the 10th floor of the Tower of Champions. His shining eyesmanded some of the Cores from the Inventory and into his hands as he sat down while holding them close. They looked like shimmering Crystals that shone with the bronze color, Noah starting to absorb them right away as he attacked the shackles of IRON! His body was already filled to the brim as he was at the Peak of this stage, needing a push from a higher level core to break through, and on his absorption of the 5th Bronze Core...he did! RUMBLE! Energy fluctuations wildly swirled around him as the color he gave off changed from the gray IRON to the ster color of BRONZE. His dark hair flew around wildly as his blue eyes shone with lights, lifting his hands as he saw the distinct bronze color while feeling the intense strength that ran throughout his body! He felt like he was multiple times stronger than before as he clenched his fists, his eyes showing an intense light of determination. He was able to go from IRON to BRONZE just a matter of days after obtaining the Idle Gaming System...such a thought made him extremely proud as it reinforced his belief that he could possibly rise from mediocrity and into the Peak of strength! Within this Ethereal Realm, he wouldn''t have to stay at the very bottom rungs of power! ''Good!'' He rose up as he stared at the 3 Units that stood a few feet away waiting for orders. "Return." SHAA! They turned into streaks of light as three of the 5 circles next to his name contained the images of a Yeti, Sunflower, and a Golem simply waiting for his call. Even though his body felt vibrant and full of energy after breaking through into the BRONZE Rank, he still felt a sense of exhaustion as he hadn''t slept the entire night as he spent it defeating skeletons. He nced at the 11th floor of the Tower and onwards, seeing their bountiful rewards as he knew they would be just as hard to clear...but he was up for the challenge! ''Leave the Tower of Champions.'' He thought of themand as his body shed with light, returned to his room as he saw darkness still pervaded, but the hours of the morning weren''t too far away. ''I truly put in some effort today¡­'' He thought of how hard he worked as his tout body hit the bed, knowing he wouldn''t get much sleep before the sun rose. It seemed like he would have to spend his day rxing on a certain green ins behind the Blessed Academy to make up for lost sleep today! --- Noah''s schedule was somewhat set after the past few days as he established a routine that was gradually changing. He nned to climb the Tower mostly at night as he would rx or descend into Rifts during the day, and he followed this schedule when morning came as he appeared in the green ins behind the Blessed Academy. Feeling the rays of sunlight and the verdant greenery around him made him feel extremely at peace, dragging his tired body onto the tall soft grass as he returned to his Idling time. At this period of time, neither Noah nor any of the prominent Blessed around the city knew that shocking events were about toe, each of them going about their lives with fervor. During the period of time where everything seemed to be going right...this was when they took an unexpected turn for the worse as in the nket of peace and prosperity, chaos wasing for Academy City! Chapter 25 - The Imperial Will Is Defied! I Noah was rxing in the green ins behind the Academy City as he had no idea that a few miles away, a group of hidden SILVER Rank Blessed had taken refuge in the Verdant Forest that the green ins of the Academy connected to. A few of the hidden Blessed were moving covertly within the city as they tracked the location of a certain someone, following their moves closely as they observed their path for the day. Information was continuously collected as they prepared to make a grand move. The day passed like this as many beings moved with their own aims in the vibrant Academy City. As the rays of the sun were about to be snuffed out with the nket of the nighting, the long legs of a certain younger sister appeared next to her older brother. Annalise had finished her Rift diving for the day as she thought of the cker of the green ins,ing to sit beside him and rousing him up. "What''s my little sister up to now?" Noah''s voice rang out as he looked into the tired eyes of Annalise. The girl was still working hard to dive into Rifts, and he was soon nning on concocting a made-up story as he showered her with an abundant amount of Iron Cores and Equipment to increase her strength. He was nning on navigating his newfound rising strength to his family carefully as he wanted to step up to help them in any way he could. "I just came to make sure you make it home, I didn''t see you when I came backst night." Annalise replied lightly as Noah found his absence when he was in the Tower of Championsst night was noticed. He smiled as he rose up and reached out towards his little sister. "Your brother was actually working hardst night. Come, I do want to be taken out today. Which restura-" BOOM! Before Noah''s words even finished the ground beneath them trembled as if a bomb had gone off! The abrupt shift caused Noah''s face to harden as he turned towards the direction of the explosion, his eyes going into the city where he saw a cluster of brilliant purple mes rising up. "Come up." He pulled Annalise up as they saw the bustle of movements in the Blessed Academy going towards the erupting mes somewhere in the city, many thoughts crossing his mind as he wondered what the hell had happened! Annalise also had a pensive look as she looked at the scale of the mes, her voice ringing out slowly. "That...is a skill from a Blessed!" Her voice was pensive as Noah tightened his grip, not knowing whether to stay where they were or also rush into the city like all the other Blessed! He thought of his parents that were somewhere deep in the city as well as he made up his mind. He was about to move when suddenly, he saw a flurry of activity rush towards them as three figures seemingly came from the skies and smashed down onto the green ins not too far away from them. It felt like time was going in slow motion as Noah and Annalise made out the three appearing figures! All three had their bodies glowing in a brilliant silver light, one being dressed in a ck robe as his body was hidden, the other having on silver armor as she wielded a luminous sword to stop the advancement of the robed being! The third figure...was someone Noah was familiar with as the Silver hair and blue eyes of the 5th Ethereal Princess were captured by him clearly! BOOM! The impact from the battle of a SILVER Ranks was horrid as they could feel the fluctuations from here, watching as the robed assant exploded out with purple mes that smashed into the Guard of the Princess. "Natasha!" The Silver Ranked Guard''s hand flew as her hair became tinged with blood, her gaze furious as she screamed put toward the princess. "Please go, Princess! I''ll hold him back as long as I can!" Even though she had lost an arm, the guard nned toy down her life to stop this shocking assant that dared to actually aim for the 5th Ethereal Princess! Did he not know her identity?! BOOM! Yet another explosion resounded out as the body of the guard called Natasha was pushed back, her face tout as she screamed towards the princess. "Please!" Fighting back tears, the 5th Ethereal Princess with a silver light before her figure began bounding towards the dark forest behind them! In the city, her remaining Silver Guards were in a terrifying battle with powerful groups of Blessed that she didn''t turn back there, bounding towards the hidden forest as she at least nned to hide until the Imperial Capital got word of what had taken ce and sent in powerful Blessed. The tears she was fighting back dripped down her face as she thought of the only guard she was close with and the death she might soon be facing. The assant was at Silver Rank just like her and her guards, but her untrained battle power would be ripped apart by him in seconds as the assant seemed to be twice as powerful as even her guards while in the same Rank! It was a dreadful situation as she ran, many thoughts coursing through her mind. ''Is this the test you wanted, my dear older brother?! Will my death finally help you achieve what you want?!'' Her heart was in pain as she made a beeline towards the dark forest! Soon after this, news would begin to spread across the Academy City from the Blessed that had seen the streaks of powerful Silver Ranked Blessed move, as well as the shocking battle that continued in the City for quite some time until the local Silver Blessed joined in to push back the assants. The shocking news that reverberated out...was that the 5th Ethereal Princess had been attacked! Someone was actually bold enough to attack the blood of the Ethereal Emperor, to defy the will of the Imperial City! RUMBLE! Chapter 26 - The Imperial Will Is Defied! II In the green ins, Noah''s hands held on to Annalise tightly as they saw one figure rush towards the dark forest. The Silver Ranked guard that stayed behind had a wrathful expression on her face as she faced the assant that had his eyes focused on the running princess. His body began to glimmer with the purple mes once more as the Sword he wielded threatened to go behead the guard that seemed like an impassable bastion even with a missing arm. "For the Ethereal Realm." Her words seemed weak as her figure looked like it could be blown away by a breeze, but the Silver Ranked assant felt a sense of danger as he tried to quickly pull back his Attack. But¡­ BOOM! A sh of deafening Silver sted the body of Natasha apart, this guard actually choosing to self-destruct and cause an attack more powerful than anything she could cast in her life to take down the assant! WAA! The light died down as Noah observed the assant''s sorry figure, blood being seen dripping from his hands as his body shuddered. He wasn''t dead! His bloody eyes turned towards the shocked Noah and Annalise not too far away as he debated something, but he then turned towards the dark forest as his heavily injured body bolted towards it! "..." THUMP! Noah felt his heart beating fast as the moment the assassin had turned his eyes towards them, he felt the threat and fear of death he never wanted toe across. It was like being stared down by a Beast that could devour them at any time! Annalise grasped onto his hand tightly as she turned towards the forest, her shaking voice ringing out. "That was the Ethereal Princess...we have to help her!" Her hands were shaking even as she said these words, being Noah out of his stupor as he shook his head. "Save her how? A silver Ranked assassin is after her!" Noah''s need to preserve his little life kicked in as he looked around them at the devastated field of green. "They must have left trails of destruction on their way here, more Silver Blessed will likelye to lend aid, we can even go into the city to let them know." Noah voiced out hurriedly as he felt Annalise let go of his hand and speak valiantly. "By that time, she would already be dead. If you won''t go, I will!" The girl that was weakly in the Iron Rank began rushing towards the dark forest without waiting for her brother''s reply, Noah looking towards her incredulously before he followed. ''Do Blessed just not value their lives?!'' He shook his head as his stronger body at the Bronze Realm caught up to her, slight shock appearing in her eyes as she continued to run forward. "Don''t worry, I don''t n to lead myself to death. The assassin already looked heavily injured so we might be able to lend some help while more peoplee." Annalise''s strong voice rang out clearly as Noah merely sighed, the brother and sister duo following the trail of the two Silver Ranked Blessed that just rushed in! Few actions can decide the direction of someone''s life, and few knew at the exact moment of these actions what they truly signified. At this moment, Noah had no idea his current actions were life-defining ones that would alter the course of history! --- Within the dark forest, the 5th Ethereal Princess crossed the thickets of trees as her strong face still had tears dripping down. They were tears of unwillingness, tears of despair, and tears that simply flowed because of the situation she was put in. But most of all, they were for the dead guard as she felt the aura of the assassin lock onto her again! As she crossed the vegetation and trees and felt this aura getting near, her face adopted a strong resolve as she turned around. Her body glowed with a silver luster as a Blue sword appeared in her hands, he face turning serene as she wanted to face death head on. She would not wait for someone to take her out while she ran like a coward! Even though her strength was only silver on the surface after using the resources of the Imperial Capital and she didn''t have battle power anywhere close to the assassin, she could still fight! BOOM Her body erupted in silver light as she struck forward to the chasing assassin. CLANG! ...and she was knocked back right away as the palm that held her Sword ruptured and bled, the force of the strike of the assassin feeling like a mountain smashing towards her. "It''s not personal, Princess." The voice of the assisting was guttural as he coughed blood, his body having been heavily injured by the suicidal attack of the guard. Yet his power still remained strong as his sword snaked towards the Princess while talking. He was bleeding internally as he knew he could only keep up this strength for a little while longer. He could not dy the death of this personage! SHAA! They crossed swords as the Princess was pushed back each time, her body bing bloodied more and more each time as her silver hair was soon turning crimson. With death nearing, she couldn''t help but raise her blue eyes to lock onto the assassin as she asked. "Who?" A fairly simple question, but one the assassin answered as he stared at the pitiful face of someone about to die. He felt like he still had half a minute of his strength as he furiously bled, his guttural voice ringing out as he swung the sword to chop off the head of the Princess at the same time. "The Dark King has found out the secret of the great Ethereal Emperor, and he sent us here to confirm." ¡­! Shocking words came from the assassin''s mouth as his sword swung down, bent on separating the neck of the 5th Ethereal Princess from her body! Chapter 27 - The Imperial Will Is Defied! III The eyes of the 5th Princess shone with light at the shocking words of the assassin as they then began to dim, closing as she saw the sword snaking towards her throat. ...DING A second passed as she felt intense pain strike her shoulder, muscles and bones torn- but her head was still intact! She opened her eyes to see the assassin looking towards a region not far away where a girl was shining with the white light of the ice element, arrows forming around her and striking towards the assassin as she was the one to have caused the deviation of the Sword from the neck and into the shoulder. "You dare¡­!" The assassin recognized the girl he had spared as his eyes searched for the boy that was beside her, feeling only a few seconds remaining on his full strength as he tried to decapitate the girl in front of him again! ROAAAR! Yet a furiously howl met him as from nowhere, an enormous form of an 8 meter tall beast descended, its furred hands causing the air to freeze as the assassin was knocked to the side by the enormous fists. WAA! The Greenins Yeti appeared grandly in the Forest as on top of it, the figure of Noah already d in Bronze Armor appeared! Annalise looked towards this scene incredulously as the boy that should have been beside her was gone and standing atop the fearsome creature. The assassin looked towards this scene incredulously as he felt even more internal injuries from the single strike of the Beast! The 5th Princess Rose, felt the threat of death alleviate as her heavily injured figure slumped to the ground, her eyes locked on to the being standing atop an enormous Dimensional Beast as she recognized him! Meanwhile, Noah himself was scared shitless as he stood atop the Yeti, his heart only calming when he saw how heavily injured the Silver Assassin was. He wasted no time as he gave amand to the Dimensional Rift Boss he stood on, the Yeti roaring out as [Frozen Charge] and [Mountainous Strike] was cast! The Assassin looked towards this scene incredulously as the strength he was using to sustain his heavily injured body was nearly gone, seeing the formation of intense ice elements on the body of the beast in front of him as its enormous white-green furred fist sped towards it with the force that even the most talented BRONZE Blessed would not be able to muster. BOOM...SQUELCH! He raised his sword to meet the strike of the terrifying Dimensional Rift Boss as he could only withstand it for a second before the strength of his heavily injured body was used up, the [Mountainous Strike] continuing to descend down unhindered as the body of the assassin was smashed to paste. "..." Noah breathed out fast atop the Yeti as his Magma Sword was ready in case he had to step in, wiping the sweat off his brows as he turned to look at the heavily injured Princess below him. "Brother¡­?" Annalise''s shocked voice rang out as the talent of the ||Ice Queen|| faded away, her cute face looking towards the figure of Noah atop the Yeti in shock as she neared carefully. "I told you that your older brother was working hard these past days¡­" He tried his best to sound strong and hide the fear in his heart, jumping to the ground as he came beside the girl that was bleeding all over. Her silver hair was dyed red as blood leaked from her lips, yet her gaze remained strong as the only weakness to be felt from her was the tears falling down her cheeks! Annalise passed the now stationary Yeti as she came and sat beside the princess, holding onto her hand with care. "You all...need to go. Anyone implicated in this will be beheaded, go quickly!" The 5th Ethereal Princess felt the strength leaving her body as her vision darkened, seeing the caring eyes of the girl to her right as her eyes locked with the person that had killed the assassin, her eyes telling him to run! Even while she knew death wasing for her, she tried to save the two beings who had rushed here to try and save her! "Brother¡­" Annalise looked towards Noah as she was hoping for another surprise, and she wasn''t let down as she saw him sigh while waving his hands, causing the appearance of another beast beside them! This one was a waving Sunflower that shone with a bright white light the moment it appeared, [Heal] being cast on the Princess multiple times as her eyes only stayed open for a second longer before she lost consciousness. Annalise raised up her body as she still felt a pulse, looking towards her brother and the creatures he summoned in shock as she quickly shook her head. "We have to leave!" They nced at the bloodied scene around them as Noah felt that there were a myriad of troubles headed their way, sending the Sunflower back as the Yeti waved its huge arms to grab the bodies of the unconscious princess, himself and his sister as their figures quickly disappeared from the scene! A few minutes passed after they fled the scene with the unconscious princess in tow, and multiple figures d in silver auras appeared in the spot where an assassin was pulverized. "Fan out and search!" The strong voices reverberated out as a long night filled with turmoil in the Academy City continued. The events and consequences of this night...would go down in history as the beginning of something grand! Chapter 28 - I Just Want Peace! I News spread out in fervor all around Academy City as shocking revtions came in waves. The party of the Ethereal Princess that had been moving to the Golden Phoenix Auction House was attacked, her guards killed as the assants were truly powerful Blessed! Even the Silver Blessed from the Academy City that went to lend found themselves injured, with a few unlucky ones even facing death to defeat some of the assassins that broke the peace of their city. But as the night went, the shocking news only became more frightening as the personal guard of the Princess was found, along with a bloody scene of shattered muscles and bones located in the forest behind the Blessed Academy as there was nothing to be found! With this, the news began to spread rapidly like a growing fire, the many Blessed in Academy City feeling their hearts turn cold as they knew something wasing. It was the news of the death of the 5th Ethereal Princess, of the Will of the Imperial City being defied as on this night- royal blood was spilled! --- In the cover of the night, Noah and Annalise left the Dark forest before any search parties appeared, Noah taking out the duffel bag that used to gold his Bronze Rank Equipment when he bought them from the Equipment Emporium as he stuffed the body of the Princess in there. The Yeti was returned into the system interface as they came out of the verdant forest that was in the Middle of the City on another side, the brother and sister pair trying their best to calmly walk along the streets of the tumultuous city to make it back home! It took them an entire hour to navigate as many Blessed rushed towards the bloody scenes near the Blessed Academy, only releasing breaths of tension when they opened the door to their apartment and stepped in. Their mother had been pacing around in the apartment with worry as she turned towards them. "Where were you two?! Your father is still out there looking for you¡­" She let out a relieved sigh as her voice contained a tinge of anger, noticing the expressions of the two as she noticed the duffel bag Noah carried. He sighed while putting down the bag and opening it, the figure of a bloodied girl being seen inside as the air in the apartment turned cold. Their mother noticed the Silver hair among the blood, her eyes opening towards them frightfully. "You...what did you two do?!" --- It was a long night, but it passed nheless for Academy City as the news spread! It reached the far off Imperial City as among the ranks of those with power, pandemonium ensued. "Someone has dared to take up arms and spill Royal Blood!" "They have defied the will of the Ethereal Emperor!" RUMBLE! The ministers and officials in power cried out loudly towards the Imperial Castle that stood like a domineering dragon over the Imperial City. Exquisitly designed andrger than the highest buildings that Noah would have seen in his old world, the domineering Imperial Castle shimmered with a gold color that could be seen from miles away as it was the highest structure one could see in the Imperial City. Being at the center of the Light Continent, this city that acted as the Imperial Capital where the central power of the Ethereal Realm should have resided was extremely vast. The majority of powerful Blessed in the upper ranks would most of the time be congested in this Imperial City as they sought the Dimensional Rifts within! The Imperial Castle was a grand structure that represented the power and dominion of the beings that influencedrge expanses ofnds, a structure that very few beings ever got a chance to get close to. Within the expansive Imperial Castle, a man was standing on a balcony as he sipped a golden drink, his eyes shining blue as he emanated a world shaking power! His hair was strikingly silver as it glimmered with light, a devilishly handsome face that would cause the strongest women to falter was currently scowling with an interested expression. "So that''s why you''re amassing an army...you have finally found out about it." His voice was extremely calm as it was heard by no one, containing a myriad of mysteries as this being was the very same Crown Prince that the 5th Ethereal Princess mentioned to her guard. This was the being that had sent her into Academy City for a test, and his test had borne results! It might have not been the results he wanted, but it told him of many things as he could now prepare. He finished sipping his drink as he touched his face, putting on the expression of wrath as he went deep inside the vast Imperial Castle with his voice loudly resonating out to be heard by all the ministers and officials. "My sister''s blood has been spilled unjustly! Ready the Legions to make those responsible pay!" RUMBLE! Amidst the shocking secret that the powerful Royals had been keeping under wraps for a few years, the Crown Prince finally made a grand move to seize and utilize the power his father left behind as a tumultuous period was on the horizon! --- In the small apartment that a family of four lived in, there wasplete silence as the four stood while looking at the figure of the 5th Ethereal Princess. The father of the family had returned as his expression was stern while staring at Noah. "You''ve been at Bronze Rank this whole time?" He didn''t even look at the shocking personage on the ground as he focused on his son, Noah shaking his head wryly as he replied. "I just stepped into it yesterday, I told you guys I was finally getting serious! But...I don''t think we should be focusing on me at this moment¡­" After their mother tightened her grip on each of their ears and told them to exin, the truth of Noah and Annalise stepping in to save the Princess and dispatch a heavily injured Silver Rank expert through a surprise attack came to light. Noah''s words caused all eyes to turn towards the Princess lying on the ground as the air became heavy again. Against such a personage, they truly didn''t know what to do! "We can hand her to the authorities, the forces of the Imperial Capital have already arrived in this city anyways." Noah''s father- Jon Eckert, voiced out a logical path carefully as his mom shook her head off to the side. "No, let''s wait until she wakes up for us to see where the danger is, it might just be that very same force from the Imperial Capital¡­" Her eyes were filled with a sharp light as she went down to pick the bloodied girl from the bag Noah had brought her in. Her actions caused the unconscious princess to actually begining to, her eyes fluttering open as she looked around to see the worried face of the woman that was holding her, a gruff man, and two faces she recognized- the ones that had actually saved her from the sharp sword of an assassin! The 5th Ethereal Princess that was supposed to be dead had opened her eyes! Chapter 29 - I Just Want Peace! II The eyes of the 5th Princess were hazy as she drank from a ss of water. Her body still seemed feeble after taking the strikes of the SILVER ranked assassin, the deadliest strike on her shoulder still continuing to heal even after she received support from the Golden Sunflower. With hazy eyes, she gazed towards Noah and the family around her as she spoke. "The status of the 5th Ethereal Princess is that she''s dead?" "...that''s the current news around Academy City, with Imperial Soldiersing into the city for improved security." Noah replied calmly as he recalled everything that urred in the past night. When the Princess had woken up to find she wasn''t actually dead but everyone dered her to be, a myriad of emotions crossed her mind as tears began to fall! She thought of her older brother sending her here, she thought of the assants that came for her...she thought about a great deal of things as her eyes locked towards Annalise and Noah. "I owe you two my life, and for that...I will be forever grateful!" Her still weak body tried to rise and bow, Noah''s mom- Evelyn, going towards her with worry as the 5th Imperial Princess continued, this time gazing towards everyone in the small apartment. "I do not wish to impose upon you all for too long. If the consensus is that I am dead, then I shall remain dead! I just need a day or two to pass before I can make my way out of Academy City and disappear." The eyes of the 5th Ethereal Princess were red as she actually did not wish to go back to the Imperial City, wanting the news of her death to stay as it was! She wanted no more of the power struggles. She wanted no more politics! Of the schemes of Blessed that only sought for more power and strength no matter the price! She just...wanted peace. "Nonsense! You won''t step foot outside my door in this state. You''re wee to stay here for as long as you want!" The voice of Noah and Annalise''s mother rang out as her eyes were red with tears. Looking at the pitiful state of the Princess. She couldn''t help as her maternal instincts rang out. "If you do not wish to return to the Imperial Capital and wish to stay hidden with your identity under wraps, what better ce than an abode of a weak family in Academy City? Please, don''t feel like you''re a burden." Evelyn''s voice continued to ring out as she held onto the head of the weak Princess. At this scene where she felt like she had nobody, this Princess couldn''t help but break down crying as she seemed like any normal girl! Noah nced at his father as the two of them looked at each other whilemunicating with their eyes, each of them letting out sighs in their minds as Annalise joined her mother inforting the 5th Princess- Rose. When the tearful session neared its end, Noah couldn''t help himself anymore as he asked an obvious question that gued the minds of many. "Why would anyone be bold enough to attack you? All the stories I''ve heard from the Imperial Capital are about how the Will of the Ethereal Emperor reigns Supreme across the three Continents, that his influence stretches across all regions...who would be bold enough to send assassin''s towards you?" ¡­! His question caused angry res from his mom and Annalise, but he didn''t care as he locked his eyes with the girl he saved! She looked towards him as her blue eyes glimmered with light, her decision being made in seconds as she thought of the secret that only the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital knew for thest years. For assassins to be sent towards her so boldly...this secret must be out! So she steeled her heart as she released shocking words that Noah nor anyone else in the apartment expected to hear. "My father...the Ethereal Emperor...has long since perished." RUMBLE! "The undefiable Will that he established...his influence over the Ethereal Realm as he boasted absolute power...this Will can no longer be upheld!" ¡­! The faces of the four changed drastically at this as Noah''s face turned sour. What was this?! The Ethereal Realm he thought was peaceful under the Rule of a powerful Emperor...actually wasn''t so the being in question was actually dead! Too many questions swam in his mind as he selfishly wondered how all of this would affect his Idling life! "It was a secret that was held closely among my family for the past years, but the actions taken against me means the news must be out, and the subjugated Kings from the other Regions might be making a move." ¡­! rm filled the eyes of everyone listening as silence descended, with Noah''s voice being the one to ring out again. "Why? Why start conflict even if the...Ethereal Emperor had passed?" He worded his question carefully as Rose wiped away her tears and gave a tired smile, her voice ringing out as she dropped another bombshell in the minds of these average beings. "They aim for the Imperial Capital that has lost its strongest defender because there, the highest Tier Dimensional Rift in this Ethereal Realm exists." ¡­! "The DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift that my father delved in and obtained treasures that allowed him to even rise beyond that level and step into the PLATINUM Rank...the Kings from other regions want the treasures within that Rift to increase their own power." RUMBLE! Shocking revtions came out as Noah felt his mind being expanded, a much truer picture about the new Realm he found himself in being painted! In the end, it all came down to power and benefits! In the past, the Ethereal Emperor had delved into a stupendous Dimensional Rift as he risked his life to obtain invaluable rewards, his strength rising as he became the Peak expert within this Realm. With his inexplicable death, others wanted this same Dimensional Rift as in theing future, blood would flow like rivers while they aimed for this treasure! Chapter 30 - Reduce The Rifts’ Clear Time! "The powerful Blessed in the Imperial Capital aren''t diving into this Rift that only they have ess to?" Noah continued to humor his inquisitive minds as he ignored the res of Annalise and his mom, Rose replying again while shaking her head. "How easy is it to clear a DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift that has treasures capable of helping one break into the strongest realm? They haven''t been able to produce the same result as Father, the...Crown Prince using this time to amass a strong enough force of DIAMOND Blessed to dive into it sessfully in the near future." "Enemies of the Light Continent do not want them to seed, so it will be a tumultuous months and years toe!" RUMBLE! The Princess gave a clear image of what they could expect as the faces of everyone turned grim. Their mom, Evelyn, adopted a strong expression as she shooed Noah and her husband away. "Enough of that. You need to rest right now, you have heavy internal injuries that will need time to heal. Annalise, get Noah''s bedroom ready for Rose." Their mom gave themand as Annalise nodded and moved to follow her mom''s words. Noah looked at this scene incredulously as his mom turned towards him apologetically while giving deafening words. "You''ll be on the couch for the next few days." ¡­! The Transmigrator was kicked out of his room with the entrance of an emotionally and physically injured Princess, the family gathering ending as many people needed their rest after the long night! It was already way toote as the dawn of the next day was only some hours away, and Noah had stepped out of his home to let things settle down as he walked through the streets of Academy City. A different air seemed to nket the City as everyone moved around hurriedly. Noah''s own brain was buzzing with a myriad of thoughts as the new information caused his calm heart to stir! The Realm he was in was about to get tumultuous, and he needed to get truly strong if he wanted to survive theing waves...or be squashed like a bug! This feeling had thrown out every feeling ofziness from him as he couldn''t stay in his home, his steps taking him towards the nearest Iron Rank Dungeon as he wanted to increase his Clear Time and umte his rewards even faster to rapidly increase his strength. The feeling of an impending war and all the doom the Princess had mentioned truly made his little heart scared as he wanted to quickly get stronger and prevent anything wrong from happening to him. Today, he faced a SILVER Ranked expert as that alone was frightful enough, what if GOLD Ranked Blessed suddenly descended? He cleared his mind as his steps neared the dungeon, his eyes turning to the Idle Gaming System interface as he clicked on the Rifts he hadn''t touched for over 24 hours. [+385 Idle Exp][+910 Iron Rank Cores][+9 zing Armor][+8 zing Spear][+8 Frost Shield][+11 Frost Sword][+7 Frost Boots][+13 Verdant Shield][+13 Verdant Armor][+14 Verdant Helm][+29 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+34 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+43 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+2856 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] A glorious amount of loot entered his Inventory as he merely nodded, his more focused on the Unit Upgrade Crystals and Shards to summon more air on Units that he could thenbine to Bronze! Can you imagine the sight of multiple Bronze Greenins Yetis? Or whatever creature came out when hebined the Treat and the Golden Sunflower? Thebinations were many as he finally arrived in front of the Burning Domains Dimensional Rift. It was eerily empty as only a single guard was present, no Blessed teams moving about as the events of assassins had caused many to return to their abodes for the day! Noah shed his Student ID as a Blessed while his body released the vibrant Bronze aura that signified his Rank, the guard allowing him through the encampment without any issues as he ced his hand on the gray portal. The moment he reappeared in the Iron Rank Dimensional Rift again, he began to move rapidly as the roar of a summoned Bronze Rank Yeti was quickly heard, an Earth Golem also called out as Noah adorned all of his Bronze Equipment. Along with them, Noahbined the now 100 Shards of the Minotaur from this very same domain as he brought forth another Unit! ROAAAR! The resonant bellow of the Minotaur that looked just as fearsome as the Rift Boss within this Rift reverberated out as Noahmanded them to move forward. His blue eyes shone with intense luster as he felt the overpowering need to get stronger, rushing towards the Beasts within the Burning Domains as he aimed to reduce his Clear Time! With a Bronze Dimensional Beast in tow along with an Iron Rank Earth Golem, and a Minotaur, the beasts nor the IRON Rift Boss of the Burning Domains gave any challenge as Noah managed to clear all domains in less than half an hour. 26 minutes to be exact! Moving through the domains and searching for all the beasts until the Rift Boss spawned...it took him only 26 minutes as he nearly cut down the clear time of this Rift by 3 times! Yet even with such exemry work, his heart wasn''t satisfied as he felt like he was pressed for time,ing out of the Burning Domains Rift and rushing towards the direction of the Frozen Forest Rift right after. His goal was to do all three Rifts in the next hour or two as he got his Clear Time down for each of them, beginning to collect their rewards in the most efficient way as soon as possible! Like this, the shocking scene of him descending into Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts yed out 2 more times that night, where he visited both the Frozen Forest and the Verdant ins Rift. The former had taken him 24 minutes to fully clear, thetter taking him 22! All in all, he had cleared all three Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts in Academy City as they averaged a time of 24. This shocking number mentioned that he had increased his efficiency in collecting loot by nearly a factor of 3, this shocking number revealing a ridiculous reality of him getting enough Shards to summon 3 Iron Rank Beasts in a bit over a day, his output for getting the Iron Rank Upgrade Crystals shooting up even higher as he should be getting close to 6000 within a day! His eyes shone with wild luster as he nned for the tumultuous future, the thoughts of leading multiple Bronze and eventually Silver Ranked Rift Bosses upying the entirety of his mind... Chapter 31 - Reduce The Rifts’ Clear Time! II Academy City was wrapped with a cloud of dangerous and depressive air as it didn''t seem the same, many figures that weren''t normally here stepping into the City after the shocking events. Noah moved in the night without paying attention to this as after he finished reducing his Clear Time with the Dimensional Rifts, his figure disappeared from the streets of the City as he entered the Tower of Champions! His figure was carried away by a spatial light silently as he appeared in the waiting area once more, calling forth his four Units as a Yeti, Minotaur, Earth Golem, and Golden Sunflower appeared grandly. His eyes honed in on the 11th floor as at this moment...he wanted to farm! He felt the need to rapidly increase his strength as he wanted to collect more Unit Upgrade Crystals to be able to fuse another Bronze Unit, and even clear the Tower until the 20th level that would give him thest 25 Bronze Rank Unit Shards that he needed to summon a Bronze Unit! "Let''s go!" His eyes shone with an intense light as he delved into the 11th floor right away. This time around, there were no more undead for him to face as he appeared in a scorchingly hot desert environment, his ears picking up the clicking sounds of a dangerous Beast nearby as the summoned units surrounded him. HISS! The horrible sound was heard first as a secondter, an enormous Snake towering 6 meters in diameter rose from the sand below them! Its power boasted Peak IRON as it had the strength of a Rift Boss, but Noah was prepared as his face remained cold whilemanding his Units. ROAAAR! The Yeti led the charge as the Minotaur was close behind, Noah beginning to clear the floor that actually consisted of 20 mobs that were all Rift Bosses at the Iron Rank! His own strength being at Bronze allowed him tobat these Rift Bosses without his life being threatened, using this time to better hone his battle instincts as the 11th floor was very quickly cleared. [Rewards for clearing the 11th Floor] :: [+1000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+50 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+1000 Iron Rank Cores], [+5 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+1 Random Bronze Equipment]. The wondrous rewards that were twice as much as the earlier floors showed themselves, along with the addition of a Random Bronze Equipment and 5 Bronze Cores for all normal levels he cleared after this! The one thousand Iron Rank Upgrade Crystals were even more enticing in his eyes as after clearing the next few floors, he would have enough to fully enhance 2 Units and fuse them to obtain another Bronze one! With rejuvenated vigor, Noah was teleported away from the 11th floor as he chose to enter the twelfth right after, intent on clearing as many floors as he could in today''s session as he vastly improved his power. Desert-type monsters like Snakes, Scorpions, and huge Worms appeared on the 12th through 14th floor, each time a varying amount of them as each were Rift Bosses. Noah spent a few hours going through the vast desert stages as he searched for the Dimensional Beasts, his body feeling the sense of tiredness as he adamantly continued. After the 14th floor, the rewards had stacked up to such an extent that he had 200 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards along with enough Unit Upgrade Crystals to fully raise 2 Units when he put into ount the reserves he already had from his Idle Rewards! This meant that he could upgrade and fuse two from the Minotaur, Earth Golem, or the Sunflower. Before this decision was made, he used the 200 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards to see what units woulde out, and if their fusions would be more aligned with the units he currently had. SHAA! Two sources of light shed as the Unit Shards werebined, two boxes icons appearing in Noah''s inventory as he looked at their details. [Light Wisp] :: A creature of the rare Light element that illuminates brightly. It is proficient in the abilities of [Strength Enhancement] and [Healing Aura]. [Desert Scorpion] :: A creature that lives in the depths of the desert. It is proficient in the abilities of [Poison Strike] and [Quick Burst]. Two equally unique Iron Units were avable for him to use, and he could only call one out as he had a cap of 5 Units he could use at once! As he looked at these two units and the ones currently on the field...his eyes shone as he saw two suitablebinations! One was to fuse the Minotaur and Desert Scorpion for a deadly offensive Unit, and the other was to fuse the Golden Sunflower and Light Wisp for the ultimate support unit. Each of thebinations had its points, but as he looked at the remaining floors he wanted to climb...he chose to first get the fusion that would produce an Offensive Unit to join the Greenins Yeti to utterly crush the enemies they would face! The Light Wisp and Sunflower could be summoned and active for now as they stayed in the back to provide support until he gained enough Crystals to upgrade them. "Let''s do it!" The path was decided, so he went ahead to finish it. The Desert Scorpion was summoned first as a creature simr to the ones he had been fighting in the past floors appeared. The Upgrade Crystals were then pumped into the Minotaur and Desert Scorpion as they achieved peak Iron Rank, a prompt sooning up asking Noah to fuse as he agreed! RUMBLE A brilliant sh of light erupted out as the figures of Minotaur and Scorpion melded together, the product toe out being something deadly. Noah looked forth in a stupor as the details of the beast popped up! BRONZE [Fiery Chimera] :: A mixed creature that has the heads of a bull and a Scorpion, its deadly stinger being something that threatens everything in the same Rank. Its abilities include [Fatal Sting], [Armor Break], and [Poison Arrows]. A deadly creature that shone with malice appeared, Noah getting his hands on 2 Bronze Dimensional Beasts in a short period of time as his sight was on the wondrous Tower levels he wanted to clear! --- As the cking Transmigrator worked harder than ever since he came to in the new Realm, its inhabitants were now actively moving as the period of peace that many enjoyed for thest years...was shattered. When the new day rose after the Assassination of the 5th Ethereal Princess, many found to their shock that it wasn''t the swift hammer of justice from the Imperial Capital that came first, but the shocking deration and advancement of forces of powerful Blessed from the Dark Continent! This gave everyone a much clearer picture of who the culprit of the Assassination was, as well as tremendous fear for the future as the powerful reply from the Imperial Capital they had expected was not there! Chapter 32 - A Skill Book! The forces of Blessed moving from the Dark Continent and advancing into the Light Continent was something that only shook the hearts ofmoners, but those truly knowledgeable knew that for them to move this fast, all of this had to have been in motion for a long time as the event that urred the day prior...was just the match that sparked the fire. The Assassination of the 5th Ethereal Princess and subsequently poor response from the Imperial Capital of the Light Continent allowed the generals and powerful beings behind the ruling force of the Dark Contient to confirm the truth they had found out some time ago- the fact that the Ethereal Emperor truly was no more! Thus, after confirmation, the ns they had in motion all this time were initiated as the force of the Dark Continent vowed to expand its influence by taking over the nearby cities of the Light Continent. The purpose of expanding their rule and extending it to nearby cities was of course for the same reason that was the core of the war about to be waged- the Dimensional Rifts! If one controlled Dimensional Rifts, they controlled the ess for an insurmountable amount of wealth and power. For the higher level Rifts that were upied by the true nobility and beings of power in the Ethereal Realm, one had to even pay a prince to enter and dive into a Rift as others were not even allowing ess tomon Blessed! Controlling the Rifts...meant controlling the flow of power. So the forces of the Dark Continent moved to bring more Dimensional Rifts under their control as so far, the forces could be seen moving towards 3 Cities within the Light Continent. They were cities that were just past the border between the two Continents, cities that mainly held Dimensional Rifts up to the SILVER Level! It was the Bright City, Moset City, andstly the area that sparked the confirmation for this whole war...Academy City! The forces of the Dark Continent chose these 3 cities strategically as they were where most of the young aspiring Blessed started off from before they delved deeper into the Light Continent where even more wondrous Dimensional Rifts were located. The three Continents of the Ethereal Realm wererge clusters ofnd filled with City-States such as Academy City, long roads and expansive forests existing between the cities formoners to move across. The Royals and those with power could afford huge Vessels that made their journeys easier, with the Light Continent having much richer cities and prospered much more than the Dark and Wild Continents under the Rule of the Ethereal Emperor! The Dark Continent aimed for the Rifts and Prosperity of the Light Continent that had lost its strongest defender, itsmanders each moving with their own goals but joined together by a singr aim under the banner of one being- a being that many woulde to know in the future as his name spread, the Dark King! --- As these events were unfolding, Noah was traversing the Tower of Champions as he stepped on the 15th floor while being surrounded by spectacr Units. A fearsome Greenins Yeti and Fiery Chimera at the forefront, an Earth Golem behind them protecting the figures of the support units- a swaying Sunflower and a bright Light Wisp that glowed with a glimmering white light! This party was currently facing the fearsome might of 2 BRONZE Dimensional Rift Bosses, Noah questioning the difficulty of this Tower as it just jumped from 1 BRONZE Boss on the 10th floor to 2 on the 15th. If he hadn''t fused another BRONZE Beast just now, it would have been a deadly battle as he might have even lost a few pets! BOOOM! A shocking explosion resounded out as the Yeti and Fiery Chimera worked in conjunction, one releasing a [Mountainous Strike] as the other released a [Fatal Sting]. Their bodies were just as vibrant and full of powerpared to the two Bosses they faced, one being a giant Worm and the other a Desert Scorpion. Noah''s units had the support skills of the Light Wisp such as [Strength Enhancement] and [Healing Aura], the two offensive units bing even bulkier as a unique white light surrounded them! Whenever they were hurt, their injuries would very quickly heal as their enemies only became weaker and weaker. Noah was asionally moving in and out to deal deadly strikes with his Magma Sword himself as he used the Earth Golem to defend if any Strike came towards him. But with this tremendous teamwork of highly Offensive and Support Units, the battle finished in a ster style as Noah''s party came out of it with no injuries! BOOM! BOOM! The bodies of two BRONZE Dimensional Beasts copsed as the party was warped away, the rewards of their hard battle popping up in front of Noah''s eyes. [Rewards for clearing the 15th Floor] :: [+1000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+50 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+1000 Iron Rank Cores], [+25 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+1 Random Bronze Equipment], [+2000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+10 Health Potions], [+10 Mana Potions], [+1 BRONZE Skill Book] Looking over the rewards, Noah couldn''t help but release a gasp at how luxurious they were! He was now 25 Shards away from a Bronze Unit, and he had finally gotten his hands on BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals for him to upgrade the strength of the Yeti and Fiery Chimera. But most of all...was a skill book! Rare than anything you coulde across, an item that infused one with knowledge of how to guide the energy of their Ranks to influence the elements in their surroundings in order to bring forth deadly results. Noah wasted no time as he took the BRONZE Skill Book out of his Inventory, watching as it disappeared the moment he willed to learn it, a brand new Skill Appearing in his stat panel! [Noah Eckert] [Rank: BRONZE] [Strength: BRONZE] [Dexterity: BRONZE] [Intelligence: BRONZE] [Vitality: BRONZE] [Skill(s): (BRONZE- Fire Bolt)] A gorgeous set of words that disyed his new skill appeared. A skill that shot forth a rapid arc of fire to pierce and scorch his targets- Fire Bolt hade to light! Chapter 33 - Just Who Is He? Of course, Noah wanted to right away test the new skill he had obtained. But he had underestimated the floors of the Tower of Champions, the vast expanse of deserts in the past floors taking him a few hours to go through as he knew it was nearing daytime. He couldn''t not try out the new skill he gained on Beasts though, so he made up his mind as he chose to delve into at least the 16th floor! SHAA! Their figures were teleported onto the scorching desert once more, facing even more monstrous andrger numbers of desert type Rift Bosses. This time while his Offensive units thundered forward, he wasn''t too far behind them as when he faced a Desert Scorpion, his eyes shone while he cast [Fire Bolt]! ZIIING! A fiery bolt of mes appeared beside him as it shot forth like a sh of light towards the Beast. BOOM! It struck its head as it left behind devastating damage, an explosive and scorching mess left behind as the Iron Rift Boss wiggled and fell to the ground! One hit KO on a Rift Boss! Noah felt strong emotions from gaining such a wondrous skill as he searched the vast desert with even more vigor, casting the skill left and right as it definitely helped with their clear time. He ran out of energy half way through as he pulled out the item he had been obtaining in the past Floors, Mana Potion! [Mana Potion] :: A potion that revitalizes the energy of its consumer to full capacity. A wondrous piece of loot that he drank to be filled with energy again, finishing the 16th floor after an hour as rewards simr to the 11th floor greeted him! He looked towards his Loot that glimmered with shining lights in his Inventory as he reappeared in the waiting area of the Tower of Champions, choosing to leave after spending an entire night here. He would return to rush towards the 20th floor as soon as he could, his heart set on the rewards there as he wanted to challenge himself to rise even further! ---[Change in POV] I was staring out the window early in the morning as I looked for a single person. More shocking than evenst time, my dear older brother had not even spent the night in the house after we saved the Princess, and he was off doing lord knows what. The events ofst night yed through my mind as I still couldn''t believe them, though. My older brother. My cker of a brother. He...actually had BRONZE Rank strength and even had abilities that could summon fearsome beasts! "How¡­" There was no answer in sight as I looked towards the door that used to be his room, where currently a princess that nearly lost her life was now resting. ''Hmm?'' My eyes caught his figure as he entered the apartmentplex, trying my best to put on a calm expression as he came up and entered our apartment. He saw me sitting by the window as he smiled. "What''s my little sister doing up so early?" He shot forth a question so calmly as if he didn''t just take down a SILVER Rank assassinst night. I looked at him closely as I let out a sigh and replied. "So you disappear at night to dive in Rifts? Why keep it a secret? Why act weak¡­?" I truly had a great deal of questions for this older brother of mine, but he frustratingly waved his hands to dismiss them all as he spoke with a smile. "I told you guys a few days ago that I was finally gonna get serious, and I actually did start that day. The results you see now...are all I have achieved since then!" ¡­! He let out unbelievable words as I rolled my eyes, but he then waved his hands after seeing me disregard his words as¡­ SHAA! The brilliant luster of IRON and...BRONZE Rank Cores filled the room! "I wanted to help my little sister and finally contribute to the family. Use these to break through the Iron Rank and reach Bronze, and then we can go diving in a Bronze Rift soon¡­" I couldn''t help but look towards him in a stupor while ncing at the scene of hundreds of Iron Cores and over 30 Bronze Cores! Yet...he merely yawned as his face seemed to be filled with tiredness, crashing on the couch as even with the sunlight passing through the window, this guy fell asleep in seconds! This¡­ This was truly my older brother? The same very one I used to know?! --- While Annalise grasped the fact that her brother had be capable enough to even wave his hands and cause the appearance of Iron and Bronze Cores, the hours passed as news of the movements of the Dark Continent became widespread. In the hours of the afternoon where the sun''s rays were the brightest, the parents of the Eckert Household returned home to first see the daughter shockingly absorbing Peak BRONZE Cores that even they rarelye across when they dived in Rifts with a team! When she came to and stabilized her aura in the BRONZE Realm, her body reeled in the Frost that had begun to leak out from her ||Ice Queen|| also advancing with her as she let her parents know that the one to be magnanimous enough and give all this...was her Older Brother. They looked at the cker that was snoring on the couch as they made sure it was the same person, Jon looking towards his son with a hidden light of pride as Evelyn looked towards Noah with loving eyes that even dripped tears! But even this scene didn''tst too long as Noah was ruffled awake when the door to his room opened and the 5th Princess they were hiding came out. Jon''s face then turned grim as he looked at everyone along with the groggy Noah while he told them shocking news. "Forces of the Dark Continent are making their way through the border...they want to expand their influence as Academy City is one of the locations a Legion of Blessed is heading to!" ¡­! The sleepiness was instantly lost from Noah''s eyes as the eyes of two girls shed with a sharp light! The peaceful years they had experienced were now being brought to an end as they would soon be caught in the middle of a war between two Hegemonies! Chapter 34 - Golden Light Falls From The Skies! Noah was roused awake the moment the shocking words of a force from the Dark Continent nearing the border of the Continent he was currently in reached his ears. He truly wanted to spend his time idling and growing stronger, with his next ns even being to delve into the Bronze rank dimensional Rifts with the help of his parents and even the 5th Ethereal Princess. He had nned to put this princess to use as he utilized the favor of saving her life by quickly clearing the three Bronze Rank Rifts in Academy City, and eventer going towards the singr Silver Ranked Rift within the City! But now he was just told that the forces from the Dark Continent were heading towards the Light Continent, with a few cities as their target and Academy City was one of them! It was such a surreal development that he didn''t even know what to do. The voice of Noah''s father Jon rang out with somberness by the side. "The news should have already been spread towards the Imperial City. We should see reinforcements before the legion From the Dark Continent making their way here can even arrive. Before then, we have to decide what we are going to do!" A tough road seemed toy ahead as the five figures within the small apartment pondered about the future. The fifth princess seemed to have made up her mind as she rose to speak up, but this was when something shocking urred. It was akin to a bomb going off, a bomb so loud that the ear drums of amon Iron Ranked a Blessed were ruptured! BOOM! The sound shook the very apartment they were in as solemn expressions appeared in the faces of everyone when they felt the reverberations! On this day, Noah Eckert came across the second explosion since his transmigration into the Ethereal Realm. This second explosion...would have a much grander and more horrific significance than the first one though! This was because the explosion...was the beginning of a nightmare. ... In the skies above the clouds of Academy City, an airship was moving slowly while being hidden to the eyes of those below. The airship contained a myriad of Blessed, each of them with cold expressions as their eyes were those of focus and longing! There were thousands of Blessed within this airship, therge majority of them in the bronze rank as over 100 in the SILVER Rank were lined up neatly up front. Each of them wore armors and held weapons that matched their respective levels, these beings letting out powerful auras as on each of their armors, there was the inscription of a bloody crown being pierced at the center by a golden sword. Standing in front of all of these beings at the edge of the airship was a man that had glimmering red hair and dark eyes. His eyes seemed extremely sharp as they held the features of a beast, a glint of a golden color reflecting off of his body as shockingly, this was a being not of the Bronze or Silver ranks, but of Gold! GOLD! As he stared down at the calm city below them, his voice rang out. "They expect the legioning bynd to be the one that reaches them first. They expect for us to give them time to prepare as they bolster their defenses and wait for the forces from the Imperial Capital." His voice was tinged with power and ridicule as this GOLD rank Blessed thought therge city below them looked extremely minuscule when one looked at it from such a far away position! His shocking words continued as his body pulsed with power. "No, this war...this conquest was nned for a long time. We shall not give you time to prepare to be ready. We shall advance and strike quickly as before you know it...arge majority of these cities would have already fallen into our hands!" RUMBLE! From the position of the sky where the airship was at, this being that palpated with billowing power of the GOLD Rank jumped off the airship. Before the enormous vessel could even be seen by those below in the Academy City, the most powerful figure that traveled within the vessel jumped off of it in a spectacr manner! His body barreled towards the ground as he smashed onto the very center of the city, his impact causing a horrendous amount of damage in the nearby mile. Buildings were shaken and tumbling as any beings in the Bronze rank or lower close nearby in the area that this expert hadnded on were grievously injured or dead! WAA! The GOLD Rank expert stretched his neck as he looked around him, the shining eyes observing everything coldly as he moved towards the strongest auras within this city, the important personages of Silver that were wildly ring out their power. This GOLD Rank expert was the source of the explosion Noah and his family had heard. This being signaled the arrival of a force that the beings from the Light Continent thought were days away from them. This being signaled the beginning of a terrible war! --- Noah and his family had gone out of their apartmentplex as their faces changed drastically when they noticed the scenes outside. In the skies, the appearance of an enormous airship tore apart the clouds as it descended towards the city at a rapid speed. Ropes flung out of the airship as numerous figures blinking with silver and bronze lights flowed across them and into the peaceful city! Noah''s heart shook at the scene as it was purely unbelievable. Everyone beside him had foreboding feelings in their hearts while they were looking at this scene. Near them, the 5th Ethereal Princess was wearing a veil that covered her face, her eyes shaking as she saw the enemies of their Light Continent and unbelievably having already arrived to attack them! "No...it shouldn''t be like this, they should not¡­" Her words were filled with disbelief, but the scene in front of them could not be denied! BOOM! Numerous explosions began to resound throughout the city as the sounds of fighting began. The shes of silver and bronze lights that descended down from the airships had begun to spread out into the city rapidly, destruction being left behind in their wake. In the middle of all this chaos, a mesmerizing voice that was amplified uniquely by the use of magic rang out across the many miles of academy city. "Your saviors from the Dark Continent have arrived to lift the oppression of the so-called Ethereal Emperor." ¡­! "We have arrived to free you, as all you need to do isy down your arms and kneel under the rule of the Dark King. Only through this will you find abundant opportunities and wealth." "As for those who do not kneel...they shall perish from where they stand!" RUMBLE! A resonant voice releasing a domineering im! It was the start of a shocking war as in the midst of it all, a certain transmigrator had not expected nor wanted any of it! Chapter 35 - A Lesson On Cruelty! I At this moment in time, it was not just Academy City that had an airship appear above their skies. Multiple other cities had a shimmering golden light descending from the airships like a bomb as they smashed onto the center of their city, causing widespread mayhem and casualty as a GOLD Ranked Blessed was sent on each airship! The Gold experts on the ships were apanied by over a hundred SILVER rank experts and thousands in the bronze rank. It was such an overpowering force that the unprepared cities that had at most tens of beings in the silver rank and a few thousand in the bronze as the vast majority were in the iron rank. None of these beings could withstand a trained army that was there for subjugation! A war had begun, and with it came with immense horrors nobody would ever wish to experience in their lives. In Academy City. "We have to move and fast!" The stern voice of Noah''s father rang out clearly as he grabbed the hands of Annalise and Evelyn while he began sprinting to the outer peripheries of the city. The father of this family had analyzed the situation thoroughly as he chose to run in the next moment that the shes of silver and bronze lights began to spread throughout the city! If they did not want to heel under the subjugation of this invading force, they had to rush out of the city and go deeper into the Light Continent towards the Imperial Capital that had much more powerful city states surrounding it that were filled with silver rank experts and even those in the gold rank! Noah found himself running beside his family as the 5th Princess kept up with them with a somber expression. She seemed extremely conflicted as she didn''t know what to do, but the voice of Noah''s father continued to ring out as they made their way across the chaotic streets. "Keep running!" RUMBLE! Many beings could be seen running around haphazardly, their faces filled with fear as not too far from them- the sounds of fighting could be heard. The screams of fighting and the sounds of people dying! BOOM The street in front of them cracked as a figurended. The party of 5 instantly turned as they avoided the silver sh that just descended down to instantly go in another direction! BOOM! Yet the area they turned to also had another silver light descending down as it caused the earth below it to crack. They breathed hard as they came to a stop. They weren''t the only ones boxed in as multiple other inhabitants of Academy City were pooled in a circle as from three directions, the powerful color of Silver blocked all sides! Not long after, the glimmers of multiple bronze experts appeared as each of them carried bloodied weapons as they looked coldly towards the beings around them. "Kneel!" The word was uttered from the Silver Ranked Blessed that held pristine swords and a razor sharp armor. It was a single word, amand that had to be followed! Multiple powerful Silver and Bronze Blessed enemies surrounded them. It was an impossible situation! Some beings in the iron and bronze rank near Noah''s family could not help it as their legs buckled and they fell to the ground, shaking in shame and fear as they could do nothing but kneel. Noah''s father had a difficult expression as he looked at all sides, his eyes thennding on his family behind him! Noah stepped forward as he saw the dangerous eyes of the silver and bronze blessed around them. These beings weren''t like the heavily injured assassin he had been able to ambush and kill in the past, with each of them armored to the tee as he knew even if he summoned his Bronze Beasts, they would not be able to change the situation! His eyes went towards his father as they spoke with their eyes. It was another time where father and sonmunicated with only their eyes as their intentions were understood by both sides. Noah saw this being telling him that for now, they would simply have to kneel and bear the shame as they truly did not have the strength to stand against their enemies. They had to kneel! THUMP! Noah felt his heart beat clearly as the feeling he never wanted to experience- the feeling of others stronger than him standing atop him as he couldn''t even control his life...this fear of his since he arrived in the Ethereal Realm had actually be a reality. More knees fell on the ground shamefully as Noah''s father was the first, his strong arms pushing on his wife and daughter to go down as well. The 5th Princess also fell to the ground as one could see a veil covering her head that prevented others from seeing her head full of silver hair! Noah felt extreme shame as his knees were about to fall down as well, knowing the situation was extremely dangerous as too many enemies surrounded them at this moment. Even if he called forth his 2 Bronze Pets...it wouldn''t be of help against the 3 powerful Silver Blessed and multiple Bronze ones that boxed him and multiple others on all sides! So his body shook as this transmigrator for the first time ever...went to the ground and kneeled. ...! His eyes were red as since arriving in this new ce, he fell to the lowest point. Yet in the crowd of Blessed that were kneeling, there were a few that were either too brave or too prideful to kneel. In this crowd, it was the figure of an elderly woman who held the hands of a little girl. Her expression was adamant as one could sense weak fluctuations of the bronze rank from her, her aged face looking towards the powerful enemies around them as she didn''t have a sense of fear. "The people of the Light Continent do not kneel to subjugators!" The voice of the elderly woman resonated across the destroyed square as those kneeling heard it, their heart being shaken as the shame they felt threatened to flood out. The Silver Ranked Blessed nearby kept his cold look on his face as his eyes turned to this elderly woman and child. Both the elder and young child seemed to have no fear in their eyes as they chose to stand for something! s... SHAA A silver light shed. A sword was drawn. THUNK! The head of the elderly woman that had spoken in revolt was severed cleanly as it fell to the ground. "..." People looked around in a stupor as they saw the mercilessness of their enemies, the silver expert looking around towards the few people that were still standing as a sword aimed towards them as well. Back in the area where the head of an elderly womany on the ground, the shaking hands of the young child that still held on to the hand of her grandmother could be seen. This child had a lost expression as she tried to register the scene in front of her, her little face looking at the grandma and then at being that had taken the head off of her! Tears had begun to fall out of her face as she looked at the ground and grabbed onto a nearby rock, her little hands wrapping around it and throwing it towards the silver rank Blessed that had taken her grandmother away from her. The stone was harmless, really, one that would not even harm even an iron-ranked blessed. But the silvermander turned around and looked at the child that had defiantly thrown it towards him. His face remained cold and impassive as to the shock of everyone there, he began to move towards the child with his sword raised high! ¡­.! rm and shock wrapped and crossed the minds of many, but nobody moved as their legs trembled in fear! Nobody...moved but a single person. This person stood up from her kneeling position with a strong expression in her eyes as she called forth righteously! "Really? You would even harm a child?!" The voice was extremely striking as it held a stinging tone towards the powerful silver blessed with the cold expression. Noah''s heart sank as he heard this voice, his shaking eyes rising up to see the figure of his mother- of Evelyn angrily looking towards the ruthless Silver Blessed that was about to raise their hands against a child! The scene that yed out next was something that Noah would never forget for the rest of his life. As he kneeled on the ground feeling his weakness and shame...as he kneeled to the ground because of his fear of losing his own life and of his family around him...he saw a sh of silver light! This sh of light was extremely fast as Noah was barely able to follow it, this light going towards the figure of the woman that had stood up to protect an innocent child. This sh of light passed through her neck seamlessly as yet another head fell to the ground. PAH! ¡­! Shock! Stupor! Horror! Chapter 36 - A Lesson On Cruelty! II Noah would have many lessons inscribed in his brain after his transmigration. One of the early lessons that would be etched into his mind...was that those with power could be ruthless! That they could be extremely cruel! They could do as they wished as they stepped on those weaker than them, and there would not be any repercussions. They could do as they wished purely because they had the power to do it, and so they did as they showed not an ounce of pity orpassion! SHING! The SILVER Blessed swiped his sword to the side after decapitating a being Noah had memories of through his life. His feet stepped on her rolling head as he applied light pressure, the face bing deformed as blood and brain matter sttered out. The SILVER Blessed...still merely had a cold and impassive look on his face. Noah was frozen. For the first time since his transmigration...he was frozen! Annalise''s body shook by the side at this incredulous scene, crawling on her feet as she went towards her mother''s decapitated body. Jon- the father of Noah Eckert whose memories were very vividly remembered by the being that had taken over his body, Jon''s expression was that of immense anger and pain as he watched the love of his life perish! The woman he had built a life with! Who he had worked with day and night to create a family! Just like that...perished. He turned towards his stupefied daughter and son, his eyes locking with Noah as they shimmered with light. Noah came out of his stupor as father and sonmunicated with their eyes once more. It was themunication that the father and son would have for thest time. Noah saw the unwillingness and despair...as well as another message that smashed into his heart- he understood it all just from that one look! RUMBLE! Jon''s body erupted with the aura of a Bronze Blessed as his wrathful and despairing eyes turned towards the cold faced killer. For the love of his life to be taken so unjustly in front of him, he could not sit idle! His body rushed towards the cold-faced killer as this being from the Dark Continent merely gave a cursory nce as a sh of silver illuminated the surroundings again. Another head rolled to the ground. "..." SQUELCH! The foot shimmering with silver came down upon this rolling head again as it pressed down and caused brain matter to fly out. "..." There were many things urring all around them as sounds of fighting continued to ring out, screams and wails apparent on all sides. Yet it felt like everything was isted in the area they were in as they witnessed cruelty after cruelty! "It''s like they don''t believe that I''ll kill them. I''ll repeat myself again- kneel and remain kneeling, or you will perish." The SILVER Blessed wiped his sword of the blood that had taken away the lives of three innocent beings as he spoke. Noah came to at this moment after this shocking sequence of events, the fear and shame he had in his mind reced by extreme anger and wrath! He had only transmigrated into this world less than a month ago, but he had its memories from the body he upied for all of his life. Ever since he could remember when he was young until now...the memories of the parents of Noah Eckert filled his mind as if they were his very own! The attachment the body he upied had felt towards them erupted out as his wrathful eyes locked onto the SILVER Blessed that had taken their lives so easily. A mere Silver Blessed, a being he knew he could step on in just a matter of days or weeks after getting stronger...this being and the powerful gold sh from the skies had caused him to kneel as they then carried out untold cruelty! RUMBLE! His body rose up steadily as he no longer kneeled. "Hmm?" The Silver Blessed turned his head towards him as he saw Noah wasn''t the only one, the shaken figure of Annalise also rising up as her body glimmered with an intense blue light, frost beginning to wrap around her. As the Blessed saw the wrath and disbelief in their eyes, he nodded while speaking out simply. "I see, that was your family? It''s better you join them than remain here!" His bloodied feet moved forward as for the third time in thest few minutes, another sh of silver light urred! CLANG! Yet at this moment, the cold de was deflected as the shaking figure of Rose- the 5th Princess, could be seen! Her body shook with pain and fear as she screamed out towards Noah. "Run! Don''t lose your life here for no reason!" Her words roused Noah''s and Annalise''s minds as the other Blessed around them that were still kneeling looked at the bloody scene, each of them rising and beginning to run out fearfully. "Ho?" The Silver Blessed swung his sword again towards Rose as a slight surprise entered his face, his strike pushing the girl that only had silver strength on the surface but did not have the battle power associated with it! Arge gash appeared on the 5th Ethereal Princess''s shoulder as she was thrown back towards the same direction where Noah and Annalise stood. Noah''s expression twisted as he grabbed onto her, Annalise beside him as the two were ready to fight for their lives! The Silver Blessed came towards them with a de drawn as Noah was about to summon all his Units and see if he could take out even just this single being before he perished! But¡­ "Now now, don''t go around killing everyone. We still need a workforce for the days toe." WAA! A glorious sh of gold appeared and floated in the skies. A being with crimson hair and shimmering eyes appeared as he looked at the sorry figures of Blessed trying to run or fight, everything silencing under his gaze as the Blesseding towards Noah and the others clicked his lips in disappointment. "Gather all the able ones into the center of the City. A new regime is here for them!" RUMBLE! The aura of GOLD Ranked Blessed was extremely overpowering, Noah and the others barely being able to stay on their feet as they knew going against these words meant death! They truly could not fight back! They barely survived by a few seconds, and it was due to the mercy of their enemies! The being shining in gold nced at each of them as Noah turned his eyes upward, the eyes of the GOLD expert that looked at each of them like mere bugs beings inscribed in his mind. "Haha!" Only a peal of lightughter came from the GOLD Blessed as he shed away from the sky and into another region. Noah felt his blood boiling as the shame and anger he felt only increased, looking towards the figure of their decapitated parents as the many Bronze and Silver Blessed enemies around them ushered them towards the center of the City, the strong voice of the Blessed around them resounding out. "You heard the Golden Commander! To the center of the City if you wish to keep your life!" A new regime had descended onto Academy City. It wasn''t the only city affected as many on the border of the Light Continent would be taken over, a bloody war beginning as a being that was considered a nobody was now wrapped in the middle of it! Chapter 37 - We Are Magnanimous! The mes of war had erupted unexpectedly and without notice, a shocking morning turned extremely bloody in the Light Continent as the forces from the Dark Continent moved in grandly. Before the forces of the Imperial City could even react, multiple Cities in the edges of the Continent had been taken over through the surprise attacks that utilized airships sent in with GOLD Blessed at the lead! Within these cities, mes rose to the skies as the dead Blessed were burned right where they fell, causing for a crimson color to shade the dark skies! It was a shocking reality as Noah and two girls were moving towards the center of their subjugated City soullessly. His eyes were red as all the fears he had since his transmigration had actuallye true as he wasn''t able to do anything against a suddenly appearing powerful force! His parents¡­ His gaze was mncholic and filled with wrath when he thought of thest look he received from his father. It told him that against all odds, he must protect his little sister! He stared down at the figure of Annalise that had a nk expression while looking at the destructive sights around him, his hand reaching out to stroke her head as the two siblings mourned the great loss of their parents. Rose moved with light steps as she bled, emotions of shame and regret flowing freely from the young princess! The three made their way deeper into the center of the City after learning a painful lesson. It was a lesson on cruelty and ruthlessness, a lesson they would not forget anytime soon! --- Chaos, mes, and Blood overflowed across Academy City, onlying to a stop after a few hours as new Banners and gs were raised throughout. The banners and gs contained a nted crown that was dripping with blood, a golden sword passing in between this crown gloriously! "Under the Rule of the Dark King, you all will prosper!" RUMBLE! When many beings were gathered at the center of the city where bodies of their brethren burned to ash, the voice of the Golden Commander resounded out. "The King is truly magnanimous, as his only rule is that every able being has to dive in the Dimensional Rifts within this city, and those sessfully finishing a dive will have to hand over half of their loot!" ¡­! "Those of you still with families...hold them close as you work together towards a grand future. Those of you that have finally woken up to the realities of death and saw your friends lose their lives in front of you...work even harder as we wee your challenge if you wish to rebell!" RUMBLE! "As of this day...this City shall be known as City 8...and you all are the proud subjects of the Dark King." "..." Noah, Annalise, and Rose were breathless as they were among the many clustered in the square watching the Golden Blessed say these words in person, their eyes etching every single scene in the recess of their memories. Academy City was upied and given the number identity of City 8, the Blessed within all bing the conquered in but a single day! What a grand show of power! What a wondrous Ethereal Realm! --- In the very same apartment they had run out of earlier, three beings returned as they missed 2 less people. The three were finally able to find a time to rest as they sat around each other in a room. Noah was silently stroking Annalise''s head as she sobbed, while Rose had red eyes as she looked outside the window and into the city that was tinged red with blood! Noah''s eyes seemed to have lost all emotions as he turned towards the 5th Ethereal Princess and spoke coldly. "I''ll need your help for the next few days." His eyes locked with the Princess as a myriad of thoughts crossed their minds, Rose only nodding while biting her lips. Noah then looked at the crying Annalise as he then whispered to her. "It''s ok, little sister" The tears of the girl didn''t stop falling from these words as he continued. "They did this to us because they were strong, and because we were too weak to even defend ourselves." RUMBLE! Noah''s eyes shone as he spoke, his mentality greatly altered after today''s event as his eyes shed with wrath to overshadow the deep shame and regret he felt. "What they did to us...we shall pay them back tenfold!" ¡­! This sentence finally got Annalise''s attention as she wiped her tears while turning towards him, her small voice ringing out silently. "How¡­" Noah stared at the girl that felt even more pain than him, the girl that had always been diving into Rifts to prevent a situation like the one that urred today from happening. His eyes shed with light as he replied while looking at the vast burning metropolis they lived in. "We will dive into Dimensional Rifts and grow our strength! In time¡­" Many dangerous emotions coursed through him as on this day, the naiveid-back transmigrator was killed in Academy City as someone else was born from it! --- The hours passed as in the evening, Noah and the two girls were able to step out of the apartment once more as they went towards the portal of a Rift with heavy steps. Rose had her hair dyed as a veil covered half of her face, the identity of the 5th Ethereal Princess thrown away as she moved behind Noah. She felt an enormous debt of gratitude towards this family, and as she had just helplessly watched as the lives of the parents were lost, she felt like she had to repay them somehow! Noah was walking forward with a nk Annalise by his side, the three not wasting any time after today''s event as they were actually the first few Blessed to go towards the Rifts under the new Regime. They appeared at the Encampment of a BRONZE Rift, multiple guards wearing armor that was inscribed with the bloody crown and golden sword piercing stationed there and looking at them with deep smiles. "We have the first customers...haha!" The Blessedughed with each other as the one at the forefront came to stand beside Noah and look at the pretty girls beside him. "What a lucky man you are...enter the Rift and remember...half of what you gain will be left behind when youe out!" Noah nced at the being in front of him as he nodded coldly. Walking forward as he, Annalise, and Rose entered a Bronze Rift for the first time. They moved with great urgency as they felt their weakness! They moved with great urgency so they could have a chance at revenge! They moved...to build a better future! Chapter 38 - Relentless Advancement! I The three of them touched the vibrating portal as Noah appeared in his first Bronze Rank Dimensional Rift. OOOM! He waved his hands as the Greenins Yeti, Fiery Chimera, Golden Sunflower, Earth Golem, and the Light Wisp were summoned to the surprised eyes of the two girls. ROAAR! The Units announced their arrival grandly as they roared out, Rose''s voice ringing out as she looked at them. "Your inherent ability is Summoning?" "Something like that, yours?" He asked the Silver Raked princess that only had the power of this Rank on the surface, yet her ability did not seem that developed. "||Lightning Ruler||, along with a few skills I obtained from the vault of the Imperial Castle." Rose replied as the party went deeper into the Rift that was called the Unknown Caverns. A Bronze Rift that required one to go through many winding caverns while defeating the beasts they came across! The Caverns were filled with Bats as the final boss was an enormous Bat King that was over 5 metersrge. Noah having two Bronze Beasts at the forefront as well as a Silver Blessed that had begun fighting for the first time in her life simr to them, on top of the newly Bronze Annalise that held a determined expression...the Rift was not too much of a problem for them to clear. [Fire Bolt]! Noah ferociously spammed his first skill as glimmering arcs of fire struck the body of the Bat King that was besieged on all sides by his Yeti and Fiery Chimera. ZIING! Rose also released a strike with her sword as purple lightning shone from it, with Annalise staying behind as she drew a bow that released frozen arrows! BOOM! The Bat King fell to the ground as the three of them were able to take it down and finish the rift in half an hour. 30 minutes! [The Unknown Cavern''s Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] Noah''s eyes shone at the message from the system as he counted what they received from this rift, an abysmal number of Bronze Core and one Equipment being the result. "Let''s go." His voice rang out as the three of them stepped on the newly appearing runic magic circle that teleported them outside, surprising the Blessed from the Dark Continent that had beenughing at them before. Noah threw the dropped bronze Equipment and a few bronze cores to them with a cold face, the Soldiers beaming with smiles as they nodded in a friendly manner. It was an extremely funny scene as to Noah, these things were worthless with him havings hundreds of Bronze Cores and Equipment! "Nice work in thererades! Dive again a few more times if you''re still up for it!" They took the loot with smiles as this would be the way things worked for anyone wanting to dive into Rifts in the future, they would have to pay half if not more of their gains from the Rift to the Blessed Soldiers that were stationed outside of it! Noah and the two girls did not say a single thing as they moved away from this rift and went towards the second one in Academy City, or as it was known now- City 8. There were two more Bronze Rifts within this City that Noah had not cleared, bringing Annalise and Rose towards the second one as they repeated exactly what they did with the Unknown Caverns! Being filled with an intense drive and determination, the three Blessed descended onto the Rift and cleared it around the same time, paying the inconsequential fee of half their cleared Rift loot to the Blessed Soldiers of the Dark Continent as they then made their way to the third Bronze Rift. On their way there, Annalise was moving with Rose as Noah led the way up front. "You''re lucky to have a brother like him." Rose spoke lightly to Annalise as she nodded sadly, ncing at the figure of Noah as she clenched her fists, hiding the pain and sorrow in her heart. "His words might seem grand, but I...somehow feel like they woulde true. That revenge would truly be possible¡­" The little sister of Noah looked at her Older Brother''s back as she began developing a strong sense of trust, Rose nodding absentmindedly as she looked at Noah''s back while thinking of her own Brother, the Crown Prince, that had used her and nearly caused for her death. How different they all were! The three beings moved with heavy emotions as they went to clear the third Bronze Rift within City 8, managing to clear it within half an hour just as the past two. This meant in the span of a few hours and with the help of the Silver Ranked Rose and Bronze Ranked Annalise, Noah was able to clear the Bronze Rifts and now had all of them in Idle Mode! All he had to do now...was dive into the single Silver Rank Rift within this City as he would just have to wait for time to pass before he became immensely more powerful than he was currently. With the Idle Gaming System, all he needed was for time to pass as the more days that went by, the stronger he would be! His thoughts were churning as he looked at Annalise and Rose, the two girls showing tired expressions as he took them back to the apartment. They had done the most they could for today, and he would not risk losing all their lives by rushing to dive into a Silver Rift. He would first clear more floors of the Tower of Champions as he obtained more reward there, seeing if he coulde across SILVER Cores simr to when he came across BRONZE Cores and broke through before. Even though the monsters of the Tower of Champions didn''t drop any loot, the rewards for clearing the floors was something that the monsters could not give even if one cleared them a hundred times! Their steps were heavy as they reached their apartmentplex, only to find it was surrounded by Blessed Soldiers adorned with armors inscribed by the bloody crown and golden sword. They looked towards Noah and the two girls as they waved their hands away while uttering cold words. "This apartmentplex and region will be under renovation and used by us, you all best find somewhere else to be if you used to live here." "..." Cruelty and unfairness! Noah looked at the 2 Silver Ranked Blessed among the group and the tens of Bronze Blessed as he clenched his fists and turned around, Annalise and Rose following him as their eyes were red with emotions! On this day, they were even kicked out of their homes! Chapter 39 - Relentless Advancement! II Noah found a tall building that served as a temporary tavern and lodging for Blessed and other important beings, swallowing his pride as even after being kicked out of his childhood home, he told himself to persevere as he first grew stronger. When he achieved Silver and even GOLD Rank as he led Rift Bosses at the same stage, would anyone be able to hinder him from where he wanted to go?! He let the wrath foster in his heart as he and the two girls appeared in front of the front desk of the tall building that was called The Elegant Pearl Inn. A Blessed with the insignia of a bloody crown and sword smiled towards them as this force had already begun to take over everything to do with City 8. "One Iron core per night, with dinner and breakfast costing 2 Iron Cores." The Blessed spoke with a smile as ugly prices that would causemon Blessed to go penniless within days were heard, Noah simply pulling iron cores from a satchel he had on his side. "Two-" He was about to ask for two rooms, one for him and another for the two girls, but they pulled on his hands at the same time as he turned to look at them. He saw their eyes as he knew the two girls still held a tinge of fear in their hearts, and they did not want to be separated a few hours after witnessing cruelty and not yet understanding how the conquerors of this city would act towards them in the days toe. "One room, with meals for three for dinner and breakfast." He three a bunch of Iron Cores on the table as the eyes of the Blessed shone with a smile, looking towards Noah as his eyes looked over the two girls beside him up and down. "What a lucky guy you are, huh?" Noah kept his cold expression as he grabbed the room key, the three of them going up the stairs of the Elegant Pearl Inn as they finally entered a wide room with a single bed and a small couch, as well as a small bathroom on the side. "You two get a chance to rx." He spoke towards the two tired girls that were emotionally and physically exhausted as he sat on the small couch and was lost in his thoughts. The two girls went to freshen up as they soon fell asleep from exhaustion, Noah remaining the only one awake in the room as his now cold eyes opened the Idle Gaming System Interface. He was reminding himself over and over again of ruthlessness and the fear he felt as he reyed the scenes of his mother and father dying in front of his eyes. He did not want to forget the scene as he made sure to remind himself every few minutes! He saw six boxes that represented six rifts, three shining with a gray light as the other three shone with a bronze light. He clicked on all the Iron Rifts as he collected the Loot Resources after another 24 hours. [+975 Idle Exp][+2700 Iron Rank Cores][+60 zing Armor][+61 zing Spear][+59 Frost Shield][+64Frost Sword][+57Frost Boots][+70 Verdant Shield][+62 Verdant Armor][+67 Verdant Helm][+89 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+93 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+101 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+5400 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] A shocking amount of loot after having cleared the Rifts to an average of 24 minutes, but they didn''t bring the same feeling of wonder to Noah anymore as he looked at the calctingly while nning ahead! He waited for 24 hours to pass before he collected the loot resources from the 3 Bronze Rifts for the first time, as he nned to use the Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals to make more Bronze Beasts. From the Idle Rewards and Climbing the Tower of Champions, he now had enough to bring 4 Units to the peak of Iron and fuse two new beasts! He looked at the two resting girls as he didn''t go to sleep himself, a light of spatial energy wrapping around him as he disappeared. SHAA! Silence returned into the room as the two girls that were ''sleeping'' rose up, their eyes glimmering with shock after seeing Noah disappear into thin air! --- In the Tower of Champions, Noah pulled out the Light Wisp and Golden Sunflower as he pumped the Iron Rank Upgrade Crystals into them, enhancing their strength into the peak. [Two Units match the requirements for fusion and evolution. Start the process?] "Begin." His cold voice lingered in the waiting room of the Tower as a sh of light erupted in front of him, a new Bronze Beast appearing in front of his eyes! [Illusory Willow] :: A rare creature consisting of the light and earth element. It has strong immunity to physical damage as it is proficient in the [Grand Heal], [Grand Enhancement], and [Rejuvenating Aura] abilities. A powerful Healing Unit came to be as Noah went ahead and summoned another Iron Verdant Treat from the Idle Loot resources he had just obtained. He brought this creature upto to peak iron as well, having the choice to pump the Earth Golem next andbine them both. Being of simr elements, he didn''t see why not as the scene from earlier repeated, the Earth Golem and Treat being fused as another Bronze Unit was born! [Elder Stone Treant] :: A creature with a unique physiology that is hard to damage even by Peak Bronze beings. It is proficient in the abilities of [Vine Field], [All Around Protection], and [Stone Throw] abilities. Just like that, two new Bronze units were born, Noah seeing both of them leaning towards the earth element as when he collected enough Bronze Rank Upgrade Crystals from the next floors of the Tower and through the Idle Resources in 24 hours, he wanted to see if he couldbine them or the Yeti and Fiery Chimera to make a SILVER Rift Boss! His gaze was filled with a terrifying light as the scene of him kneeling was yed again and again, putting himself through enormous mental torture to punish himself for his actions as he summoned the Yeti and Fiery Chimera. With 4 Bronze Rift bosses by his side, he delved into the 16th floor of the Tower as he went towards the 20th! It was the same scorching hot desert environment from the 16th to the 19th Floor, Noahing across Desert Scorpions, Worms, and Snakes in varying sizes as gradually, the numbers of those in Iron Rank began to thin out. By the 19th Floor, every creature he faced was in the Bronze Rank as they moved in pairs, Noah working in conjunction with his four Bronze Units as the Yeti and Chimera were the Damage Dealers, the Illusory Willow acting as the healer while the Elder Stone Treat gave support as it used its numerous vines to restrict the movements of enemy mobs while the damage dealers pummeled them to the ground. He aced through the four flours as each of them gave simr rewards. [Rewards for clearing the 19th Floor] :: [+2000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+2000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+50 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+2000 Iron Rank Cores], [+50 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+2 Random Bronze Equipment], [+1000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+10 Health Potions], [+10 Mana Potions] Adding up the 1000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals he received on the past four floors and the 2000 from the exclusive reward of clearing the 15th floor, he had 8000 that he had chosen to pump the powerful Greensins Yeti with as its power in the BRONZE Stage was currently terrifying! Yet its counter before it could fully be fused remained at 8000/10,000 as Noah needed just 2,000 more to max it. If things went like this, it meant the rewards for the 20th Floor would get him a max Bronze Unit as he would have to clear either the next 5 or 10 floors to gain enough Bronze Upgrade Crystals for him to fuse SILVER Rift Boss! The dream of doing so was actually not too far away! Chapter 40 - Subjugated Cities, Fusion To SILVER! I Hours passed as news traveled, the actions of the Dark Continent being spread as powerful Blessed found out that shockingly, over 10 Cities in the outer perimeters of the Continent had been attacked by Airships that carried GOLD experts at the lead, each of them falling without question as blood overflowed and they became subjugated under the banner of the Dark King! The symbol of a bloody crown with a golden sword piercing it was spread across all 10 cities as new rules were established, the local Blessed finding themselves imprisoned in their own homes as they had to struggle diving into Rifts daily while giving over half of all that they gained to their conquerors. After the powerful Blessed from the Dark Continent paved the way, their beings entered through the cities en masse as they took over all important positions! The cities truly became subjugated as their past inhabitants now felt like prisoners in their own homes... The Imperial Capital received a shock from this set of events as they truly had not expected for the ns of the Dark Continent to be so thorough and quick. The Crown Prince that had thought he was moving fast by assembling Legions and moving them to the surrounding cities was given a metaphoric p, the forces he had assembled moving even faster to go out towards the many City-States of the Light Continent to provide more man power! It was truly an utter failure on their part as they had the knowledge of the Ethereal Emperor passing for years, and yet their preparations were not as strong and fast as they should have been... After the subjugation of the 10 Cities, the forces of the Light Continent would be spread out so that there were at least multiple GOLD Rank experts protecting the Cities around the continent, with the even more terrifying Blessed above that rank protecting the Imperial Capital and its treasured Rifts. As for the question of retaking the Cities? The hardship of this was high as the focus currently was to make sure the advancement of the Dark Continent stopped there! --- In the Tower of Champions. From the past 4 floors of the tower, the other boons were the 8000 Iron Rank Upgrade Crystals and the 200 Iron Rank Unit shards. It meant the fusion andbination of a 5th Bronze Beast, and Noah prepared himself fully as he summoned the two random Iron Units and fused them before delving into the 20th Floor. The random units came out to be a [Red Scaled Snake] and [Fat Worm], their fusion bringing to light a Bronze Beast that was termed [Devouring Sands Serpent]. [Devouring Sands Serpent] :: A creature that loves hiding beneath the earth as it attacks its enemies silently. Its abilities include [Sand Discement], [Swallow], and [Sand Spears]. A fifth Bronze Beast joined Noah''s team as it made 5 maximum units that he could concurrently summon, and it also gave him a terrifying team that made him descend onto the 20th floor with confidence! It was the same extensive desert before him, this time without any mobs as 10 Bronze Rift Bosses waited for him. 10! RUMBLE! His gaze was called as he sent his units forward, [Fire Bolt] already leaving his body multiple times as he kept a Mana and Health Potion close! The fight should have been immensely tough, but the enhanced Yeti that had been pumped with 8000 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals showed terrifying battle power as it delved into the field of Desert Scorpions, Snakes, and Worms. While supported by the surprise attacks of the newly joining Devouring Sands Serpent and Fiery Chimera, the Bronze Rift Bosses began to fall one by one as the vines of the Elder Stone Treat yed a huge part in grouping them together and allowing for the deadly strikes of the offensive beasts tond! The Illusory Willow was ready to give healing support at any time, but the furious Units that seemed to sense Noah''s wrath and pain pummeled their enemies to the ground as after 20 minutes, the 20th floor was cleared of all enemies. Ttriing! A wondrous notification rang out as something beautiful was disyed in front of Noah while his body was returned to the waiting room. [Rewards for clearing the 20th Floor] :: [+5000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+5000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+5000 Iron Rank Cores], [+100 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+10 Random Bronze Equipment], [+10,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+50 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+25 Health Potions], [+25 Mana Potions], [+3 BRONZE Skill Books], [+1 Random SILVER Equipment] "..." Even in his rage, Noah came to a stop at the list of rewards. 3 skill books, a silver equipment, enough BRONZE shards to now summon another Bronze Unit, and even 10,000 BRONZE Unit Upgrade Crystals that gave him the 2000 he needed to max the Greensins Yeti, as well as 8000 remaining to max another one as he just needed to clear one more floor to gain the extra 2000 so he could fuse a SILVER Rank Rift boss! "..." A Silver Rank Rift Boss Unit was that close! While obtaining this, it meant his growth would be even more explosive as he could ascend through more floors and even possibly descend onto the single Silver Rank Rift in City 8¡­ His heart thumped at this possible reality as his cold eyes shone, pumping the required 2000 Crystals into the Yeti as its body shone splendorously at the peak of BRONZE, ready for fusion as soon as another unit at the same stage as it appeared. He then looked at the 125/100 Bronze Unit Shards as he summoned a 6th Unit that he couldn''t equip due to his 5 cap limit, but he still wanted to know if it would be something particrly rare. [Desert Kingsnake] :: A creature that loves the desert, this one particrly deadly as it is proficient in the [Poisonous Bite], [Swift Movements], and [Strangle] abilities. Even though the Shards had the word random attached to them, they more than likely gave Dimensional Beasts of the floors he had been clearing, the only exception being him not receiving a single undead from the first 10 floors! But he had received yet another damage dealer that could rece the empty Unit Slot when he fused two into the Silver Level, his eyes then going towards the 3 Skill Books that were the rewards from this floor. [Vision Enhancement](Passive) :: A passive ability that grants the user enhanced vision, making night as clear as day. [Haste](Active) :: An ability that allows the user to experience a rapid boost in speed to surprise their enemies with a deadly strike. [Tough Skin] (Passive) :: A Passive Skill that enhances the defense of the user, making them even more durable. Even more skills were added into his Skills tab as two were the rare passive abilities that all Blessed sought for, Noah merely nodding his head as he felt his body bing tougher and his eyes even sharper! He then turned towards the 21st Floor of the Tower of Champions. He could already see to the right of the portal that among its rewards, there were the 2000 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals he needed to bring to fruition a SILVER Unit. His steps were fast as his summoned units followed, his figure disappearing into the 21st Floor! --- Chapter FIN A Note: Hi everyone! A bit of an important note that I''ll ce within the chapter to be seen by all: The novel [My Idle Gaming System] is a story connected to the Multiverse that is about to be explored in my other novel, [Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse]. The main character in my first novel is named Noah Osmont, with the character in this novel being Noah Eckert. Osmont is already fleshed out as he is about to explore the Multiverse in Infinite Mana, while Eckert has only just begun in this story! They are different characters, and Eckert is being built differentlypared to Noah as the goal will be to create a somewhat naive character that learns to be ruthless and cunning. Plot developments like the death of his parents or anything that follows are already outlined and simply being put to paper, with the focus always remaining on making an overly OP, ruthless main character through the [Idle Gaming System] as he relentlessly advances forward. If the style isn''t to your liking or using a certain plot device somehow ruins the whole experience for you- that''s ok! There are many wonderful works on Webnovel to explore and enjoy for that reason. If you''re among the many that enjoy the story, I wee those from my first novel and the new peeps we''re getting along the way on another fantastic adventure! As in any of my works, an overpowered main character can be expected, with blood-pumping battles and gorgeous skills appearing throughout. Some wonderful things I''m excited to put to paper is weaving the Multiverse of these stories together in theing future, where ideally my 3rd or 4th work will be the inclusion of all the main characters we areing across. In Infinite Mana, Noah Osmont obtains his own Cosmic Treasure after many hardships. In My Idle Gaming System, Noah Eckert will also have the chance to rise and obtain his own! I wish everyone an amazing day, and even more amazing next few years as we build wonderful fantastical worlds ^.^ Chapter 41 - Subjugated Cities, Fusion To SILVER! II The environment changed once more after 10 floors, Noah finding himself in an expansive grasnd for the 21st floor. ROOAR! His enemies this time were enemies he hade across before, the grasnds being filled with arge amount of Elder Treats- enormous trees with hard defenses and thick branches to strangle their enemies with. There were tens of these Bronze Beasts littering the grasnd within this floor, Noah beginning his clearing methodically as he moved himself to increase his battle awareness and power while his Units did most of the work! The Fiery Chimera took the spotlight along with the monstrous Greenins Yeti in ripping apart the Elder Treants, Noah intent on fusing these two beasts together as he went ahead and put the 8000 Upgrade Crystals into the Chimera right away, watching as the rate they cleared the floor increased greatly from the Chimera''s power boost. The number of the slow moving Treants did not matter to them as in around an hour, they finished clearing every single one on the 21st floor! SHAA! They were all teleported back to the waiting room as the rewards appeared in front of Noah. [Rewards for clearing the 21st Floor] :: [+5000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+5000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+5000 Iron Rank Cores], [+200 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+20 Random Bronze Equipment], [+3,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+25 Health Potions], [+25 Mana Potions], [+1 BRONZE Skill Book] A bit less than the exclusive rewards he got on every 5th floor, but abundant rewards nheless as he got his hands on the Bronze Crystals he required! He ignored everything else as his eyes focused on the enormous figures of Yeti and Fiery Chimera. The Yeti already had the max 10,000/10,000 Upgrade Crystals, and that same number soon appeared on the Fiery Chimera as a prompt popped up in front of Noah''s eyes. [Two Units match the requirements for fusion and evolution. Start the process?] "Begin!" Noah''s eyes were zing with an intense light as he reached a major milestone, never having expected to get his hands on genuine Silver Rank power this quickly! It also made his heart fill with even more regret as he wondered...if he had climbed the Tower and dove into the Rifts of the city with the intensity he had now, would things be different? Would he have been able to stand up and save his parents, or would all of them have perished anyways when the GOLD Rank Blessed showed up? If he had his hands on a SILVER Rift Boss or two instead of Bronze ones, would he have ever chosen to kneel? If... There were many ifs, but he pushed them all away for now as he focused on the path forward! He could not change what happened in the past! He truly could not...so he should not focus on it so much as he needed to do all he could to alter theing future. His blue eyes glimmered with light as he looked at the scene of the fusion. A glorious silver light shone as a terrifying aura arrived in front of Noah. A Dimensional Beast that towered over 10 meters, its body taking a humanoid shape as it was a creature with four arms and a terrifying tusked head, its body shining with a silver light as it announced its arrival with a roar! OOOH! Noah felt the surroundings shake as the details of the first fused SILVER Unit entered his eyes. [Flesh Giant] :: A creature that holds mixed Bloodlines from many sources, a single one not being able to triumph in the end as it became a flesh giant that holds steel forged muscles capable of causing the strongest creatures in the same rank as it to turn fearful. Its strength is its biggest feature as it is proficient in [Colossal Strike], [Poisonous Burst], [Earthquake], and [Silver Armor]. A glorious Rift Boss 10 meters in size grandly looked towards Noah subserviently. It released a shocking aura that felt 10 times as powerful as any of the Bronze Units Noah had out. It was the aura of a SILVER Rank Rift Boss! One must know, Rift Bosses of any Rank required multiple Blessed in the same Realm to easily take care of them, so Noah gaining just a single Silver Rank was akin to him gaining the force of multiple average Silver Blessed! All of this in just a matter of days since he first gained the Idle Gaming System! "..." A myriad of thoughts crossed his mind as he knew more than half of the night had passed with a few hours remaining before dawn would break. But he didn''t return back into the real world this time around. He nced at the ferocious looking Flesh Giant and the other Units he had summoned, his steps going towards the 22nd floor portal as he nned to continue! SHAA! Their figures disappeared into the 22nd floor of the Tower as with the SILVER Rank Rift Boss at the lead, the Elder Treants were shredded apart like paper. ROAR! The Flesh Giant would cast [Earthquake] as he caused the earth of the surrounding 50 meters to quake, its enormous fists then glimmering with a silver light as it smashed towards the unstable Elder Treants with a [Colossal Strike]! BOOM! The other units only acted as support as the SILVER Beast carried Noah to clear the 22nd flour in under 20 minutes. Nothing stopped him from collecting the rewards of this floor into his Inventory as he crossed it and stepped on the 23rd, and 24th floor- the same shocking scenes being repeated as the SILVER Unit he nowmanded was truly carrying everyone on its back! The rewards of the past floors were abundant as they were the same as the 21st, Noah being able to obtain from all 3 floors collectively 3 more Skill Books, 9000 Bronze Upgrade Crystals that now gave him 10,000 of such Crystals to use on another Bronze Beast, as well as enough Iron Unit Shards to call forth 5 Iron Units and enough Shards to summon another Bronze Unit! The rewards of the Tower were as abundant as ever, with Noah expecting his strength to explode even more when he neared the 30th floor. This was because just on the next 25th Floor he had to clear, its rewards were even more exuberant than the 20th floor! He would be granted more than enough Bronze Upgrade Crystals to fully max another Unit and be able to carry out the second Fusion of a SILVER Beast among other rewards he acted to get hit hands on! All in all, his earnest climbing of the Tower of Champions was granting him an enormous boost in power, his turbulent emotions settling ever slightly as time passed! Chapter 42 - Shocking Speed Of Progression The 25th Floor was a steeping point, as Noah finally stopped tearing apart Bronze Beasts, a singr Boss appearing on this floor. It shone with an intense silver luster as it towered over 20 meters, nearly twice asrge as the Flesh Giant- it was a Silver Rank Elder Treant! ROAAAR! Its grotesque human-like face bellowed out as the Silver light it released shone out resplendently, its many vines beginning to erupt towards Noah and his Units. WAA! The Flesh Giant was at the forefront, its huge fist grasping and pulling the vines apart while rushing towards the Silver Boss faster, all the other units carrying out long distance attacks as they fought a battle of attrition! With the SILVER Flesh Giant at the lead, it seemed like the Silver Ranked Elder Treant could only act defensively while its branches were ripped apart, the enormous fists of the Flesh Giant relentlessly pounding into it as after half an hour...it could only release a deathly wail as the enormous Silver tree fell to the ground! "..." Noah breathed out hard as they were kicked out of the Floor, his body feeling the enormous mental and physical strain, but the rewards that soon appeared in front of him rejuvenated him as he knew his hard work wasn''t for waste. [Rewards for clearing the 25th Floor] :: [+10,000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+10,000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+10,000 Iron Rank Cores], [+200 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+20 Random Bronze Equipment], [+15,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+45 Health Potions], [+45 Mana Potions], [+25 Strength Potions], [+1 INHERENT Skill Book], [+2 Random SILVER Equipment], [+5 SILVER Cores] ¡­! A truly glorious assortment of loot was given. Every time he faced an enemy of that Rank for the first time, he received Cores of its stage as from the 25th Floor, he had now obtained SILVER Cores! What was even more shocking though, was the skill book given this time around. It wasn''t a Bronze or Silver Rank Skill Book, but instead something that Noah did not obtain when he first became a Blessed- an Inherent skill that grew with the user as they advanced through the stages. Its power could be minuscule in the beginning as it grew to be terrifying in the future, or it could begin as something terrifying and continue to be so as one advanced! There were many things he could absorb from the loot he just received, but he clicked on the Inherent Skill Book in his Inventory. A bright light shone. |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 ability of [Subjugate] is currently unlocked, with many more abilities capable of being unlocked as the user rises in power. A cooling feeling washed over Noah the moment the ability was granted to him. A cooling sensation that reduced his rage and shame while making his eyes turn sharp! His mind exploded with many thoughts and ideas as he closed his eyes to just think for a second. When a few minutes passed and he opened his eyes, a sharp light coursed through them as he thoroughly understood his ability! It was a truly wondrous one to have as it opened many avenues for Noah. He breathed out slowly as he stretched his neck, unboxing the other rewards as his focus now went to the Bronze Upgrade Crystals that he had over 25,000 of in total after the rewards from this floor! It naturally meant another SILVER Unit could be fused! Noah''s eyes turned to the remaining Bronze Rank Units hemanded as he had to make the choice. When it came from the healing or support units beingbined or gaining another offensive Rift Boss, his current situation led him to make another Offensive Unit to smash his way across the floors of the Tower as well as the Dimensional Rifts in the outside world! Between the [Devouring Sands Serpent], [Illusory Willow], [Elder Stone Treant], and [Desert Kingsnake], he chose to fuse the two alike Offensive Units. RUMBLE Energy fluctuated out wildly as the Bronze Unit Upgrade Crystals were pumped into the Devouring Sands Serpent and the Desert Kingsnake! Their aura rose to the highest it could be before the prompt came for Noah to fuse, giving hismand as the two units disappeared into a swirl of light. Soon enough, an even more terrifying Serpent over 10 metersrge made its appearance! [Horned Serpent] :: A terrifying creature at the SILVER Rank that enjoys breaking the bones of its enemies before devouring them. Its abilities include [Venomous Cloud], [Constrict], [Enhanced Bite], and [sh]. A terrifying Horned Serpent with vibrant silver scales raised its terrifying head as Noah analyzed its nature and abilities. It was another terrifying addition that would increase his battle power greatly, but no strength would be more important than his own as after fusing this Silver Beast, he then took out the 5 Silver Cores from the Inventory. Such things were extremely rare to get, with the truly important beings in the past Academy City being able to get their hands on them by diving into the only SILVER Rift within the City! Noah had long since achieved the peak of Bronze as he had hundreds of such Cores in his Inventory, sitting down and beginning to absorb the Silver Cores as he sought to do something shocking. It was the action of trying to break through from Bronze to SILVER! A shocking Speed of Progression that others could not even dare to think about, with him only needing a matter of days to jump from Iron to Bronze as he now knocked on the door to Silver. It truly showed the terrifying prospects of the future with the Idle Gaming System on hand! RUMBLE! Energy gloriously waved around him as he began to absorb the Silver crystal Cores in his hands, a shocking lustrous color beginning to envelop him as he forged forward! Chapter 43 - Resource Distribution And The Silver Rift! In a Grand mansion within City 8 that an important Silver Rank personage used to live in. Currently, it was being upied by the GOLD Blessed that has dropped from the skies and overwhelmingly won the battle for Academy City! He was currently talking with multiple Subordinates as they reported the progress of their projects within the city. "The flow of resources has swiftly begun as we already have thousands of Iron Cores, hundreds of Bronze, and tens of Silver Cores ready to be transported." A Silver Blessed spoke while looking at some papers, another one raising their voice after. "The rate of Equipment collection is as abysmal as slow ever, but it is beginning to stockpile up!" The GOLD Blessed''s eyes shone with light as he listened, the City he was given the mission of overseeing already heading on the right track! When he thought of all the young Blessed in his homnd that would freely get these resources, his heart warmed as the mission he had only became firmer. "Get ready to begin the transportation process!" His resonant voice rang out as he thought of his home. For the happiness of the young and uing Blessed back home, he would do all that was required of him! Taking over Cities and taking the lives of a few enemies was not an issue. For his mothend, he would do anything! RUMBLE! His body crackled with the terrifying power at the GOLD Rank as a shocking reality yed out not just in City 8, but in all the Subjugated Cities on the border of the Light Continent. It was the restrictions ced on Rifts- on the fact that all those stepping out of them would have to give half of all the loot they gained away! It was the cold truth of the Ethereal Realm and the beautiful Universe this Realm was located in- the truth of the alluring Dimensional Rifts and the resources they provided. Whoever controlled such Rifts controlled the flow of power! The forces of the Dark Continent utilized such a truth seamlessly as they had already begun using the Blessed from the Cities they had taken over to procure arge amount of resources en masse as it was all sent back to strengthen their people and produce even more fearsome warriors! --- The significance of the events urring in the dark had not entered Noah''s mind yet, his blue eyes vibrantly shining with light as he raised his hands to see the shimmering Silver color floating around it. It was the affirmation of him stepping into SILVER Rank! He released a turbid breath as he felt the explosive strength within his body, looking towards the enormous Flesh Giant that was looking towards him subserviently just like all his other units as he sent to it a shockingmand. "Hit me." THRUM! The unit obeyed without a second dy as a deadly fist shimmering with silver light crossed the air to fly towards him! His own body glimmered with an intense silver light as he threw his own fist to meet the terrifying blow of the Flesh Giant Rift Boss. BZZT...CRACK! The impact was terrifying as Noah felt like a mountain was mming into him, but he was actually able to hold on against it for a few seconds! This was the strength of a terrifying Rift Boss mind you, which meant after holding on for a few seconds, his small body was still flung back multiple meters as he felt the bones within his right hand break in multiple spots. "..." The pain barely registered in his mind as he tested his strength, calling for the Illusory Willow as a [Grand Heal] was cast on him multiple times until his hand was as good as new. He nodded swiftly as when he thought of the time, he knew that the night had passed as dawn should have already broken. He thought of the two girls he left behind in the room as he looked at the Tower with 1000 floors and thought about how the first 25 alone had given him strength up to the Silver Rank. It held shocking implications for the future as for now, he had to leave it once more. SHAA! He put away the summoned Units as a spatial light began to warp around him, his body returned into the small room he had been teleported away from as within this room...the eyes of two girls looked towards his appearing figure with shock! Rose couldn''t utter any words as it was Annalise who spoke slowly. "Brother...just what Inherent ability did you awaken?" Noah''s weary eyesnded on the girls as he had nned to make something up for his disappearances sooner orter, this chance giving him the opportunity to do as he sat on the couch exhaustingly while beginning to talk. "It''s not just a Summoning ability. I unlocked something that allows me to be transported to luxurious Dimensional Rifts...Rifts that give out rewards hundreds of times better than the ones you can find in the Ethereal Realm!" He thought of the Tower of Champions and his Idle Gaming System as he weaved something together, his hands waving as he brought out colorfully silver equipment from his Inventory that were the rewards of previous floors. "Cores, Equipment, Skill Books...these Rifts can grant me a great deal of treasures as long as I alone risk my life to clear them." ¡­! The two girls looked at the ground where they shockingly found Silver Ranked Equipment- powerful Armors and Weapons that even the average SILVER Blessed would have a hard time getting their hands on! This was because the higher one''s Rank was, the harder and rarer the Cores and Equipment of those ranks became. Yet Noah had just waved his hands to make these amazing treasures appear before them! "This is why I said it is possible to get revenge...why I am confident in being able to pay back everything they did in time! It''s also why I regret...not getting this serious sooner!" His strong voice woke the girls out of their stupor as Annalise came towards him and hugged his head, her small voice ringing out. "You could have never known how things would have happened. You do not have to me yourself!" The brother and sisterforted each other on their loss as Rose came by to give her own emotional support, Noah''s voice continuing to ring out. "My ability bes more powerful the more different types of Rifts I clear, not how frequently I cleared them. It''s why my goal is to delve into the Silver Dimensional Rift in the city next!" ¡­! The two girls nced towards him in shock as Rose spoke out. "Already? It might be dangerous with just us. Even though I''m in the Silver Rank, I haven''t been honing my skills or fighting in the past. For a Silver Rift, you need a team of Silver Bless-" OOOM! Rose''s words were cut short as Noah''s body now pulled with a silver light, showing his Rank grandly in front of them! "It is possible. I wouldn''t risk my life otherwise!" The two girls had agape expressions as they stared at the man that used to be in the Iron Rank not too many days ago. Now, he somehow stood at the rank of SILVER! Chapter 44 - Resource Distribution And The Silver Rift! II Noah looked at Annalise while rising up, his shining eyes staring at the Silver equipment on the floor as he thought about all the other loot he had in his Inventory. When he used the Random SILVER Equipment from his Inventory, he obtained equipment like [Silver Snake Armor], [Death Rapier], [Silver Bow]...and many others that nicely fit him and the two girls. His voice rang out while he stared at Annalise. "I used all the Silver Cores I found as loot to advance so I don''t have anymore, but we can get our hands on them in the Silver Rift, and I can obtain even more when I delve into the rare Rifts I told you about." "Then we can bring your Rank to Silver as we continue to strengthen ourselves before we make a move¡­" His words turned dangerous at the end as the girls felt the air turn cold. But their hearts remained firm as they remembered the cruelty they had faced, as they remembered the shame of being forced to kneel! Annalise''s eyes shone dangerously as the girl spoke. "To the SILVER Rift then¡­" RUMBLE! The party of threemunicated as Noah talked with them about a great deal of things. When he thought about how he would begin to fight back against the subjugators of the City, his newly gained Inherent Skill came to mind, especially the Ability that was unlocked on it currently. His eyes looked at his Stat Panel as his eyes shook, seeing that the Inherent Skill had actually changed and added another ability since he first learned it! An Inherent Skill grew with the user, and Noah had broken into the SILVER Rank after he obtained his Inherent Skill! Under |Mind Dominator| were the abilities [Subjugate] and¡­[Mind Connection]! [Subjugate] :: The user can dominate the mind of a weaker being or someone at the same Rank as them who is brought into a disordered state. A [Subjugated] being follows all themands of the Mind Dominator, even if they are asked to die. The number of Subjugated beings depends on the mental capacity of the Mind Dominator. [Mind Connection] :: The Mind Dominator can form a connection with his [Subjugated] beings, obtaining all of their thoughts and memories. ¡­! A truly wondrous disy of abilities from the newly gained Inherent Skill. It made the ns he was forming even more solidified as against the ruthless Blessed that had attacked them and killed his parents...he nned to be just as cruel and ruthless! "Let''s go!" He and the girls left the Elegant Pearl Inn as they moved on the subjugated Streets of City 8, seeing the shocking scenes of local Blessed being pushed around as they walked with their heads low, while the beings walking with the insignias of a bloody crown pierced by a golden sword walked with their heads held high. Scenes like this and even more disgusting ones were happening throughout the Subjugated Cities. Other areas had unruly Blessed that chose to bully the beings of subjugated Cities even more, an unknown number of Blessed being forced to do things they didn''t wish to! It was the horrors of war that many chose not to think about, but they urred! Noah and the girls moved across the City with cold faces as they simply inscribed the scenes urring throughout in their minds. The vibrant Academy City that was filled with bustling Blessed moving about and always seemed full of life was currently bleak and covered with a depressive atmosphere as it truly transformed into a City that was just identified by a number! The three arrived at their destination that was located at the center of the City, a vibrantrge Silver Rift that was noticeable a mile away shining resplendently in front of them. This one was surrounded by the auras of powerful beings, Noah knowing that clearing it would draw some attention towards them! But he had to obtain a Silver Rift in Idle Mode as the rewards from it being cleared over and over again for the days toe...had to be obtained as early as possible. The encampment of this Silver Rift that was known as the Molten Ruins shockingly had the aura of multiple Silver Blessed that had the insignia of the bloody crown and golden sword...and even the oppressive aura of the GOLD Blessed expert that Noah had seen floating in the skies! The eyes of the two girls shook at this sight as Noah continued his steady steps. "Oh?" The attention of the Blessed from the Dark Continent that seemed to have been discussing something turned towards them, the GOLD rank expert looking at Noah''s party curiously. His golden eyes locked on the figure of Noah, Rose, and then Annalise as he gained a hint of interest! He saw the distinct color of Silver that Noah and Rose had chosen to release, as well as the Bronze auraing off of Annalise. "Two Silver babies and a Bronze one wish to descend a Silver Rift?" His voice was tinged with surprise as it caused the nearby Blessed to break out intoughter. Noah looked at this powerful being that was the true reason that City 8 fell,? realizing he hadn''t even remembered their faces when he floated above them and looked at them like bugs the day prior! He wasn''t able to locate the face of his parents'' Killer that was inscribed in his mind at this location, putting other thoughts aside as he spoke. "Are we allowed to enter? We understand the rule that half of all the loot will have to be left behind when the Rift is cleared." Noah''s voice was steady as the eyes of Silver Blessed looked mockingly towards them. The powerful GOLD expert developed a deep smile as he nodded. "75% for Silver Rifts actually. Hopefully, you do not perish in here as we need courageous beings like you!" His words were like nails to their ears as Noah merely nodded, pulling Annalise and Rose into the Rift as they disappeared! "Commander, won''t it be beneficial to have people like them clear the Bronze Rifts? They might die in here or it might take them the entire day just to clear it." A nearby Silver Blessed asked the GOLD expert with a small voice as this being was about to leave aftering to check the Silver Rift. The fearsome expert shook his head while replying. "Silver Loot will always be multiple times more important than Bronze. Even if it takes them two days to clear it, we need them to!" RUMBLE "Watch things here and record their clear time when they leave. We need to keep track of all the Silver Blessed within this city." "Yes, Commander!" The Silver Blessed called out cordially as they watched the shining golden figure take to the skies and head elsewhere. Their eyes shone while looking at the ability of flight that only powerful experts would get to experience in their lives, only looking away from the skies secondster to continue carrying out their mission. At this moment, they did not know that they had just let a terrifying enemy into the very same Silver Rift they were guarding! Chapter 45 - All The Rifts Within The City Under My Grasp! I had seen many things in my few years of life. I''vee across GOLD Rank Experts, and even those in the DIAMOND Rank...but it was still the first timeing across someone like him. I''ve truly seen a lot, but the scene in front of me was just unbelievable. A single Silver Rank being waved his hands as two mountainous sized Dimensional Beasts appeared, their power nearing that of the oppressive Gold Rank beings I''vee across before! A swaying illusory tree was called out as well as it released afortable light, as well as two ferocious Bronze Beasts that only added to this mysterious sight around this being...around Noah Eckert. Even with my time in the Imperial Capital,ing across someone who could rise through ranks at such a rapid speed was something that could only be considered a dream. But after that traumatic event just one day, this being had changed too much as we were now in a Silver Rank Rift. "These should help." He looked towards me and his little sister after nonchntly summoning the fearsome SILVER Dimensional Beasts, waving his hands to cause the appearance of the Silver Armors and weapons he showed us in the room. I didn''t even question what spatial treasure he had as I donned one of the armors and Annalise, this poor girl, took the Silver Bow with a strong expression. Her eyes seemed to be getting brighter over the past day as she saw her brother''s strength, this brightness hiding the pain of losing both her parents. If only I had been stronger...maybe I would have reacted fast when everything was happening! If only I¡­ My weakness was something I sorely felt after being nearly assassinated and then not being able to help the people who saved me, and it was why I was following this being in front of me...this Noah Eckert who had unexinable strength! I had to repay my debt towards him no matter what it took, and I had to grow strong enough to never have to kneel again! After all, no matter how I detested it- royal blood still flowed through my veins. Like the brother and sister before me...I would make it my goal to never have to kneel again! --- In the Molten Ruins Rifts, Noah was looking at the huge map in front of them with shining eyes. The environment was truly that- Ruins that showed devastated structures all around, the area seeing gusts of scorching air erupt from random spots as the sounds of beasts could be heard within! "Let''s go!" He spoke while his body was adorned with Silver Equipment obtained from the Tower of Champions, Annalise and Rose wearing simr armor as they moved behind two enormous Units. The SILVER Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent led the way, the support and healing units that were the Illusory Willow and the Elder Stone Treant following behind them! Even though he had SILVER Rift Bosses leading the way, Noah was extremely careful within this Silver Rift as it was filled with dangerous Beasts. ROOAAR! This point was reiterated as on their left side a Molten Beast erupted from the blind spot of the two front offensive Units, rushing towards Rose as Noah caught the speed of the Beast and appeared in front of it! CLANG! A silver radiance shone as his sword blocked the Molten Beast''s strike, [Fire Bolt] blooming in front of him as even though the Beast was the fire element, it was still knocked back from the force of the skill. OOOOH! The roar of the angry Flesh Giant resounded out as its figure appeared rapidly at their position, moving at speeds something its size should not be able to as its enormous foots crashed down on the Molten Beat''s position. SQUELCH! A horrifying sound rang out as the Beast was instantly reaped of its life. Its death made way for many more Molten Beasts to rise towards them as the Units angrily rushed towards them, Annalise staying by Noah''s side as she knocked frozen arrows onto her SILVER Bow, putting her Inherent Skill of ||Ice Queen|| to the test against the enemies a Rank higher than her as the opposing elemental attacks dealt heavy damage against them! "Yaa!" Rose had a determined expression as while covered with a silver aura, she shed out with her sword that was reinforced with lightning, her dyed hair dancing on her head as she finally began to utilize her abilities and skills inbat! A sense of teamwork was gradually formed as Noah moved across the Molten Ruins with powerful Units in the lead, learning about everyone''s skills as after about 50 minutes, they crossed the scorching area of the Molten Ruins multiple times as all the normal Beasts within were taken care of. RUMBLE! When all the beasts were cleared, the Rift Boss would spawn. This was exactly what urred as in the next moment, a glorious magic runic circle shone as a monstrous Molten Lava Beast made its appearance. ROAAR! It bellowed out towards the challengers as the Flesh Giant and Horned Serpent released their own dominant roars, the Serpent shing with great speed as it released [Venomous Cloud] onto the huge beast! The Flesh Giant added to this with [Poisonous Burst], the shocking scene of its hand bursting into horrendous tendrils of pulsing green masses that wrapped around the Molten Lava Beast being shown. It wasn''t the best match up of elements, but Noah''s units still dealt tremendous damage as they continued to swarm the Rift Boss on all sides. Annalise''s Frost arrows shot forth every now and then to slow the Rift Boss even further as Noah and Rose enhanced their bodies with their Silver auras while constantly weaving in and out of the range of the Boss to throw their attacks! ROAAR! Being swarmed on all sides, the Molten Lava Beast could do nothing but roar out in anguish as it fell under the attacks of the party in less than 10 minutes. SHIING A brilliant blue light erupted out at the fall of the Boss, it''s body exploding into loot as 6 Silver Cores could be seen on the ground and nothing else! The drop rate of loot in higher ranks was as abysmal as ever, even themon Molten Beasts of the Rift giving them a few Silver Cores. [The Molten Ruins Dimensional Rift is now avable in Idle Mode]. Noah got the prompt a second after the Rift Boss fell, his heart feeling arge weight lift off his shoulders as at this moment...he had effectively delved into all the Rifts within this City as he had had to do now was watch the overpowered Idle Gaming System do its work while he delved into the Tower of Champions! Chapter 46 - I Can Also Be Cruel! I The brilliant runic magic circle that appeared from a Rift being cleared made its appearance, Noah telling the girls not to go towards it as they could not let the Blessed outside know of the fact that they cleared the Rift in an hour. The two girls nodded as they looked at Noah''s tired eyes with concern, Annalise speaking out. "Brother, when did youst sleep? You were gone the entire timest night¡­" The little sister had eyes that shone with immense care when she stared at her older brother, Noah only giving her a light smile as he waved the Silver Cores they obtained from the Rift towards her. "Don''t worry about me, let''s use the time to have you make a break through into the Silver Rank." Annalise saw the same dismissive attitude from her brother that was now working harder than any of them as he hadn''t even slept in the past day, her expression bing stern as she spoke out strongly! "I''ll do what you want if you do what I want! We can stay in the Rift and not leave for a few hours, get some rest and you''ll wake up to see me in the SILVER Rank¡­" Rose was also nodding strongly by the side as the two girls tried their best to have the one who had been overworking himself for the past day to get some rest. They were relentless as Noah finally agreed, the huge weight that lifted off of his heart after clearing so many floors of the Tower of Champions and finishing all the Rifts within Academy City finally allowing him to close his eyes to rest after constantly moving for so many hours. In the cleared Silver Rift of a subjugated City, a transmigrator was lulled into the folds of sleep while surrounded by two girls- one putting his head on herp so that he wouldn''t rest on the hard ground of the Rift, the other grabbing Silver Cores to continue upgrading her strength! --- Within a Rift, there was no such thing as a time limit on how long one could be there. Some beings that challenged Rifts above their levels would sometimes unfortunately find themselves slowly going through it for hours, with the truly unlucky ones taking them days. Even though Noah and the 2 girls cleared the Silver Rift within the hour, they stayed inside for a few hours as Noah finally fell down to sleep from exhaustion while Annalise began absorbing the Silver Cores they came across in the Rift! Rose was looking at the tired brother and hard working sister pair with a smile as the 5th Ethereal Princess found herself holding the head of Noah on herp. It was only something she did in hindsight, but she now found herself looking at the face of this hard working brother while his little sister had her eyes closed absorbing cores. Her eyes twinkled as she thought up close, the man in herp had some dashing features! But this was only a passing thought as she shook her head and thought about many things herself. The hours passed by as some timeter, Annalise came to while her body vibrated with strength. Frost began to swirl around her as her Inherent Skill was enhanced by another factor, knowledge of it flowing into her mind. ||Ice Queen|| :: An Inherent Skill that allows the wielder to have expert control of the ice element, with its usage varying depending on the user. Its abilities include [Ice Aura] and [cial Meteor]. The Enhancement of her strength to Silver tier had unlocked [cial Meteor] from her Inherent Skill, allowing her to call down an icy Meteor! It was a heavily offensive skillpared with what she had before- the [Ice Aura] that she used to reinforce all her attacks! This was the boon with Inherent Skills- they could truly be grown to grand possibilities as a Blessed rose through ranks, how they would truly turn out in the future being something only the Blessed can find out. Annalise familiarized herself with her new strength as she and Rose took turns looking after Noah, the hours passing by quickly. --- Outside the Rift, the Blessed from the Dark Continent had annoyed expressions as throughout the day, there were three parties that delved into the Molten Ruins Rift, with thetter 2ing out in 2 to 3 hours. But the team that had entered during the beginning of the day...they had been in there for so long that the sun was nearly setting! "I mean they''re definitely dead. Who bet on them not even making it out?" One of the Silver Blessed overseeing the encampment of the Silver Rift spoke to the others with a smile, watching as one of them received multiple Iron and bronze Cores from the others. "Truly a waste of those two girls¡­" Disgusting dialogue was about to start when the Rift portal lightly shed, the figure of Noah and the two girls appearing as the Blessed came to attention. There was surprise in their eyes but also not, because the team in front of them had taken nearly the entire day to clear the Rift! They looked at their gains as they only saw a Silver Boots Equipment in Noah''s hands. It was loot from the Tower of Champions that provided increased defense and speed, Noah having no problem giving this away to not bring any attention to themselves for now as all Cores were absorbed by Annalise! To him, this single Equipment was nothing as he had already racked up tens, and he would have hundreds of such equipment in the days toe. He threw the equipment over to the group of Blessed that looked at it with shining eyes- knowing how rare the drop rate of equipment was that they didn''t even search the team to see if they obtained anything else. "Nice work! Come again!" Their jovial voices rang out behind them as Noah and the girls made their way out of the encampment and towards their temporary lodging. Noah had be rejuvenated after the sleep, his focused eyes now looking forward to iming his Idle Rewards for the past 24 hours for both the Iron and Bronze Rifts, and the past hours rewards of the single Silver Rift! They walked along the darkening streets of the City carefully as they passed some groups of Blessed, nearly reaching their goal when in the next moment as they crossed a street...they came across a group of patrolling Blessed. "Oh?" It was two in the Silver Rank and 2 in Bronze, their equipment carrying the inscription of the bloody crown with the golden sword! "I know you." The eyes of the front most Silver Blessed shone with light as his eyesnded on Noah and Annalise, also locking with the girl wearing a half veil he recognized! Noah''s eyes constricted as Annalise''s eyes became blood red, the figure of the being they etched deep in their hearts actually appearing in front of them. The killer that had taken away their parents not too long ago...they came across him as his eyes locked towards them interestingly! Chapter 47 - I Can Also Be Cruel! II Rykker looked around the empty street and the nket of the night that made everything hard to see as his eyesnded on the 2 girls and the man in front of them that looked towards him with eyes filled with killing intent. He gave a lightugh as he recalled using his fast sword to take out two Bronze weaklings that had turned out to be the parents of the ones in front of him, and he didn''t get to finish the job as his Commander came! His eyes looked at the crimson hair on Annalise and the dyed dark hair on Rose as they lit up, a cruel smile filling his face as he spoke. "I remember the little cowards on the ground that watched their parents die. Why don''t youe with me for a second? I still have more things to show you." He nodded towards his Silver Rankpatriot and the Bronze Blessed behind them as cruel smiles appeared on each of their faces. "Over there should be good." One of the Bronze Blessed looked around them and pointed out a darker alley between buildings where very few beings passed across, a Silver light shining on Rykker as he sent pressure over the party of three while repeating his words! "Now, don''t make me repeat myself again." Noah and the two girls weren''t outwardly showing their silver auras as Rykker didn''t even bother to check, only recalling how they were weak and helpless just over a day or 2 ago. He didn''t notice the cold light and wrath simmering in Noah''s eyes, nor the eyes of the girls that were about to erupt! Noah simply put his hands on the shoulders of the two girls as he motioned for them not to worry, the party of three following the 2 Silver and 2 Bronze enemy Blessed into the dark alleyway. Rykker''s eyes shone with malice as he looked at the girls beside Noah while speaking. "I didn''t enjoy the simple swings of my Sword that took away your parents, but I am going to enjoy myself in the next few hours while I make you watch something beautiful." His face was twisted with a dark smile as his eyes snaked over Annalise and Rose, but his pace was brought to a halt as he heard an extremely cold voicee out from the man in front of these girls! "Not today." RUMBLE! A single word! But it was a word that was apanied by a wondrous sh of Silver light as in the opposite alley behind the 4 enemy Blessed, an enormous Horned Serpent made its appearance. SHAA! The moment it was called forth, its terrifying jaws moved in the small space as it ripped the bodies of the two Bronze Blessed in half, blood gushing out like rain as it moved at great speeds! WAA! Before the 2 Silver Blessed could even react, the fast Rift Boss as its enormous body wrapped around them, the small alleyway bing extremely cramped as the writhing muscles of the Horned Serpent constricted around the two bodies of Blessed. Recall that a Rift Boss required 10 Blessed on the same level to match it! It was extremely hard to fight against a Rift Boss, especially when one was unprepared and it struck fast! "Huk¡­!" The 2 Silver Blessed felt their lungs were about to be smashed in as their bodies shed with silver light, but they weren''t able to break out of the shocking restraints as in the next instant, Rykker felt a strong hand sp onto his neck while his body was nearly bulging out from the constricting pressure! "You seem to think that you''re the only one who can be cruel." RUMBLE! His words were filled with coldness as his hands shimmered with an intense silver light, acting quickly as he squeezed down on the throats of the two incapacitated Blessed! Annalise appeared by the side as her body burst with coldness, the bodies of the two beings bing even more constricted as they couldn''t make any actions. A SILVER Rift Boss, and two Silver Blessed ganging up on them...the Blessed from the Dark Continent could not break out of it! Rykker could only look at the scene in front of him with shaking eyes as the hand sping onto his neck...crushed his windpipe as he then felt it yank out everything it held from his throat! SQUELCH! The horrible sound of muscles and bones being torn rang out as Rykker''s eyes shook with pain, his throat missing as his eyes began to dim- but not before he heard hisst words. "I can be cruel too!" RUMBLE! Noah''s voice remained in the dark alley way as his blue eyes shone brightly, watching as the light faded away from the eyes of the Blessed that had so easily taken his parents'' lives. It was that easy! It felt so easy that the me he ced on himself for not getting serious sooner and increasing his strength greatly felt heavy! He watched every second of the Blessed losing the light in his eyes until he perished, his body turning into a mass of blood and flesh under the constriction of the Horned Serpent as he then turned his eyes towards the remaining Silver Blessed. His left hand trembled with silver light while sping onto the neck of this being, a myriad of thoughts crossing his mind as he squeezed tighter while his blue eyes brightened, the ability of his Inherent Skill, [Subjugate], being cast! WAA! An ability that worked on someone weaker or a being in the same realm but in a disordered state. The Silver Blessed in front of his eyes had nearly burst from the intense pressure of the Horned Serpent wrapping around him, and Noah''s hand sped onto his neck as he could barely breathe! He was as disordered as he could be, Noah''s blue eyes shining brightly in the next moment as they carried a dominating light that covered the entirety of the vision of the Blessed, his eyes being covered by the light as it permeated into his mind andid down shackles. OOOOM A resonance of energyter, and the Blessed''s body was released by the Horned Serpent as its jaws frighteningly went towards the bodies of the 3 dead Blessed and swallowed them whole. The only enemy Blessed from the Dark Continent that remainednded on the ground shakily, his eyes showing a revealing blue light as he looked up towards Noah. The being then dropped to his knees while looking towards the blue eyes of the man staring down towards him with eyes filled with wrath, a shocking word being released from him. "Master." RUMBLE! On this day, the first Inherent Skill of Noah was utilized to dominate a Silver Blessed from the Dark Continent. It was the birth of a terrifying being that would exert his influence on the entirety of the Ethereal Realm. The birth of a being that would rip apart all authority as his blue eyes would be thest thing many powerful beings would see before they perished! Chapter 48 - Before Me, They Are Nothing! I There was amon understanding that the older someone was, the wiser they were. The wisdom came from the fact that they loved a long time to experience a great deal of things! Their wisdom came from the collective memories and events they lived through. Memories...were extremely important! So when it came to Noah''s second ability from his Inherent Skill ||Mind Dominator||, the ability known as Mind Connection was an extremely terrifying one. In the Dark alleyway where few Blessed passed, the Horned Serpent swallowed the three dead bodies as it disappeared in a sh of light, the only ones left behind being Noah and the two girls...along with the Blessed from the Dark Continent that was now kneeling in front of Noah! His eyes were those full of submission, a glint of blue reflected within as they seemed to speak of their new master. "Get up and look at me." The Blessed instantly got to his feet as he stared deep into Noah''s blue eyes. There was a sh of light as Noah cast [Mind Connection] for the first time. RUMBLE! A weak fluctuation of energy erupted in the outside world, but it felt like a bomb had gone off in Noah''s mind! The cast ability allowed for the Subjugator to link with the mind of the Subjugated, their memories and everything with their mental processes being shared! ¡­! Noah felt his mind throbbing as information flooded into his mind. Information of a vige the Blessed in front of him used to live in. Memories of how he grew up. When he became a Blessed. His first battle...everything about the being in front of him entered his mind as he nearly nked out for a second. The hands of Annalise and Rosended on his shoulders as he was brought back, his eyes glimmering with light as from this encounter...he had truly obtained a lot! Revenge against a killer! Wiping away his shame! Finally...gaining the first Subjugated Blessed that was actually one in an enemy camp. "Continue acting as normal. Rykker and the other two in your squad went for drinks and you lost them. I''ll call for you when needed!" His voice was cold as he talked to the Blessed in front of him, this being bowing his body respectfully. "Yes, Master!" SHAA! The Blessed disappeared from the alleyway as he distanced himself from his new Master to return to his task! Meanwhile, the two girls were filled with emotions for what had just urred as Noah pulled them along from the darkness of the alleyway. He truly had a great deal of things to digest. From the Mind Connection with the enemy Blessed, he was able to find out about some of the operations of the enemy in City 8, as well as more information on the Dark Continent and how they moved in to attack them! The Dark Continent was just as vast as the Light Continent, itsnds being much less prosperous as their City States always fought for resources. Of course when ites to prosperity, it''s not just in terms ofnd or vegetation...but Dimensional Rifts! There weren''t as many Rifts in the Dark Continent for Blessed to dive in and obtain treasures, and it was one of the reasons for the war that had just begun. But Noah put aside all of thisrger information of the Continents and the forces the Blessed had seen as he focused on the City he was currently in. He focused on City 8, and the GOLD Blessed that was currently presiding over it- a being that he didn''t know before! "Golden Commander Stefon." He uttered the name to the 2 girls that he had returned with in the Elegant Pearl Inn. Golden Commander Stephon! The being that dropped from the skies and caused the submission of everyone in the city that was below his rank. This was the being that was currently overseeing the operations of City 8, and also the one that handed off thousands of Cores and Equipment to the forces of the Dark Continent daily from the hard work of the Blessed of the City. Many thoughts and ns formed in Noah''s mind when he thought of this character as he continued to talk with the two girls. "We''ll move around the city mostly during the day and won''t be active at night. The ces for us to avoid¡­" From the memories of the Subjugated Blessed, he knew much about the infrastructure of the enemy army as he nned ordingly, letting the two girls know about every pertinent information! After he finished, he gazed at them with intense eyes as he opened his mouth while speaking in a heavy tone. "That Golden Commander Stephon is just one among the many GOLD Blessed under the forces of the Dark Continent. Us taking down some Silver Blessed or even aiming to take him down in the near future...it will be something that makes us enemies of the forces of an entire Continent, and will undoubtedly be dangerous!" RUMBLE! The air in the room changed as the girls gazed at Noah. "I do not n to remain at the bottom rungs of power, and I do not want to ever be forced to kneel again. For this...I will do all I can to wipe out every single Blessed from this City, and I do not n to stop there as I know there are much more powerful beings aside from this GOLD Blessed that we face as an enemy!" Noah was telling the girls of his ns, he was telling them that he was setting himself on a dangerous mission where he wanted to change himself and rise through the ranks of power, a mission that would be filled with powerful beings trying to kill him! Annalise looked at his face with red eyes after killing the killer of their parents, her voice ringing out with a chill as her Inherent ability unconsciously came out. "The SILVER and GOLD Blessed carrying out acts of atrocities are just pawns. I...I want the head of the one thatmanded them, brother! I want the head of the so called Dark King that sent pawns to easily take the lives of others as they see fit!" RUMBLE Annalise surprisingly had even more rage than Noah, where even after the death of the SILVER Blessed that was directly responsible, she wanted the most powerful being at the very top to answer her judgment! At this, Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he answered unhesitatingly. "It is just some powerful Blessed calling himself a King, against my System...against me, he can only be a nobody!" RUMBLE! Domineering words were released from Noah as he denounced the Ruler of an entire Continent! Chapter 49 - Before Me, They Are Nothing! II "At the end of this all, obtaining the head of the so called Dark King will not be an issue!" Noah thought of his overpowered System as he made this im boldly. He thought of the fact that he rose to the SILVER rank and obtained 2 Rift Bosses in just a matter of days since he seriously used the System! Based on his speed of progression, he shockingly expected to enter the GOLD Rank sometime in the next few days or at most in a week or two. Mind you, other Blessed in the Ethereal Realm remained in the BRONZE Rank throughout their lives, with only truly dedicated beings stepping into SILVER! And they did this in time periods of months and years! If a being like him wasn''t able to rise through the ranks and stand powerfully, nobody could! On the side, Rose also steeled her heart as she also spoke. "Even though I was weak and timid, I lived in the Imperial Capital for a long time and saw how they ruled. I saw how my Older Brothers fought against each other after Father perished, our current situation being the result of the infighting in the Imperial Capital!" "If you are nning on wiping out the enemy Blessed of this City and even aim for the head of the Dark King behind it all...why not also use the time to establish your own dominion and Rule? The Rulers of the Light Continent are ineffective, the Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continent are murderous. Why not rise to establish new rules and ease the pain of allmon citizens in the Ethereal Realm?!" RUMBLE! The former 5th Ethereal Princess spoke out shockingly as her eyes shone with arcs of electricity. "I will aid you in establishing a new Rule! I will use all my knowledge and power, I will even lead you to the Imperial Capital against my Elder Brother!" Her eyes were filled with hate at the Crown Prince that sent her to die, at the Imperial Capital that allowed for enemies to Attack without protecting their citizens! As she saw Noah''s rate of progression and his powerful abilities...she thought this man might possibly have the chance to establish something new and powerful, something different from what they currently had now! Noah looked at the passionate 5th Princess as many thoughts swarmed in his mind, his eyes only bing brighter... "This City or even the three Continents...we will see! Our focus will start with the enemies in our City." Rose''s words resonated in Noah''s mind as they seemed grand at this moment. Rise to establish a new rule? It seemed distant at this moment, but with his Idle Gaming System...it was definitely not out of reach! After talking with the two girls a bit longer, he rose up as he was about to go into the Tower of Champions. "I''ll have to go descend into the unique Rifts I mentioned before, it''s where I can continue increasing my strength at the fast pace you''ve seen." Annalise and Rose nodded with serious faces as the former''s voice rang out. "We can''te with you to help?" Towards this question, Noah recalled the message of the Idle Gaming System as he shook his head. The Tower of Champions and any other currently unlocked features were only for the Idle Gaming System Master! "No, but I will need your help to clear Rifts faster when the timees." The two girls sighed while nodding, Noah being wrapped in a spatial light as he disappeared. --- In the waiting room where he could enter the Tower of Champions, Noah opened up the Idle Gaming System Interface as he looked at the seven glimmering boxes that represented seven Rifts! Three Iron, three Bronze, and one Silver. The first ones shone with a wondrous grey-gold light, the seconds ones shining with a bronze-gold light, and the singlest one shining with silver-gold luster! Every day at night during this time, 24 hours would have passed for him to collect all of his Idle Loot Resources. This was the case for the Iron and Bronze ones, with the Silver Idle Resources having only been there for the past few hours since he cleared it today. The Iron Rifts had been reduced to an average cleartime of 24 minutes, with the Bronze ones beings around 30 minutes. As for silver- it was one hour. Something to also keep in mind was the fact that the Idle Resources clear time was also affected by the units Noah equipped. As powerful units began to appear, one must recall from the disyed definition when Unit Shards appeared in front of Noah for the first time- the fact that every equipped unit reduced the Rift Clearing Times by a certain percentage in Idle Mode! This allowed for Noah to have even less time cycles where he gained more loot. Like a king checking upon the resources he worked hard in obtaining, he started with the Iron Dimensional Rifts Loot Resources! [+1045 Idle Exp][+2893 Iron Rank Cores][+63 zing Armor][+43 zing Spear][+57 Frost Shield][+70 Frost Sword][+39Frost Boots][+75 Verdant Shield][+76 Verdant Armor][+61 Verdant Helm][+101 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+109 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+121 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+5850 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] Then on to Bronze! [1,580 Idle Exp][+2300 BRONZE Rank Cores][+35 Reinforced Armor][+43 Sharp Helmet][+37 Sturdy Shield] ][+55 Molten Sword][+35 Swift Boots][+51 Molten Shield][+38 Spiked Armor][+45? Bronze Helm][+65 BRONZE Rank Giant Bat Shard][+63 BRONZE Rank Red Wolf Shard][+66 BRONZE Rank Manspider Shard][+4,294 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+23 BRONZE Skill Book] ¡­! The first time he clicked on the three Bronze Rifts...and they didn''t disappoint as aside from giving him nearly half of the Upgrade Crystals he needed to max a Bronze Unit, hundreds of Equipment filled his Inventory as well as the Shards of 3 new Bronze Beasts- and let''s not forget the 23 skill books! 23! Skill Books were extremely rare as they only began dropping from Bronze Rifts, and as always- the rare things in Ethereal Realm were given with frequency from the Idle Gaming System! He took a pause at the Bronze loot as his gaze lingered, letting out a deep breath and clicking the single Rift that shimmered with a silver-gold light that remained. [+210 Idle Exp][+95 SILVER Rank Cores][+5 Glistening Silver Halberd][+2 Steelforged Silver Armor][+3 Silver Moon Bows][+13 SILVER Rank Molten Lava Beast Cores][+1,243 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+3 SILVER Rank Skill Books] ¡­! His eyes could not help but tremble at the sight of such gorgeous loot as he collected from all three levels of Rifts for the first time! This was the reason he was confident of the future! It was the ridiculously overpowered System that gave him extremely rare resources others only dreamed of...freely! Chapter 50 - Skills And Units! In the waiting room where he could enter the Tower of Champions, Noah was going through all the loot resources as he organized the most important ones. The first was rted to the System- where within two days, he would have gained enough Idle Exp to upgrade the system once more, and this was something he heavily looked forward to! Last time the wondrous Tower of Champions was unlocked. This time...he couldn''t wait to see what he would be gifted with! Next were the rare skill books! There were a great deal of them from the Bronze Rifts, with nearly half being Active as the other half were Passive Skills. Passive skills such as this could greatly strengthen a Blessed as Noah began absorbing a few right away! There were multiple duplicate skill books like [Tough Skin] or [Vision Enhancement] that he put away to also increase the strength of the two girls. But as for himself, he was able to add on [Endurance], [Increased Evasion], [Heightened Senses], and [Fast Feet] for the Passive Bronze Skill Books! When it came to the 3 Silver Skill Books, they were effectively [Molten Burst] that was an AOE offensive skill, [Magma Armor] that was a defensive skill where a wondrous armor of Magma seamlessly wrapped around the body of the Caster. When Noah learned and Cast the skill, he found his entire body to erupt out with ayer of hot magma that caused the surroundings to simmer, yet inside the armor he felt like he was in a slighter hotter summer day! The other skill book was a passive one, a shocking ability called [Minor Automatic Regeneration]. [Minor Automatic Regeneration] :: A Passive skill that uses the Mana of the user to automatically heal any injury they receive. It is only minor as the rate of progress is slow. Noah loved the passive skill books the most as when he continued to get them with even more frequency, he could greatly increase the gulf of power between him and othermon Blessed by pping himself with a ton of Passive Skills! He wanted to build himself up to be considered a Rift Boss himself, where multiple other Blessed would be needed if they wanted to match him alone! With such dreams, his body shed with a silver light as he donned on a gorgeous set of SILVER Equipment, already giving themands to pump the SILVER and BRONZE Unit Upgrade Crystals into the respective units he wanted to strengthen and upgrade next as his eyes turned towards the 26th floor of the Tower. The Silver ones went to the Horned Serpent as the Bronze ones were pumped into the two healing and support units, this being the next fusion to Silver that Noah wanted to carry out. The SILVER rank [Flesh Giant] and [Horned Serpent] were summoned, along with the [Elder Stone Treant], [Illusory Willow], and another Bronze pet called [Armored Lion] that came from the many BRONZE Unit Shards that Noah now had to summon Random Units! With his party set and him holding on to a SILVER Core that he constantly absorbed to pump his own strength towards the peak of his current Realm, he and his units dashed towards the 26th Floor to continue clearing the Tower and obtain even more wondrous loot. With such a tight party set up and Noah''s own increasing strength, the three floors from 26th to 29th were a breeze, especially since they were filled with variations of tree monsters. Some floors were 2 Rift Bosses alone while for others, they had to go through an expanse of grasnds to kill Silver Rank Treant mobs. It took a few hours, but Noah very quickly jumped through these floors as he collected arge amount of loot! The Tower truly was Noah''s strongest tool at this moment, especially because of the rewards of BRONZE and SILVER Upgrade skill Crystals he had begun receiving that he could use to increase the strength of units. The rewards from the 26th to 29th floors were glorious! [Rewards for clearing the 26th Floor] :: [+10,000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+10,000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+10,000 Iron Rank Cores], [+500 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+30 Random Bronze Equipment], [+5,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+1,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+30 Health Potions], [+30 Mana Potions], [+15 Strength Potions], [+15 Defense Potions] [+1 SILVER Skill Book], [+3 Random SILVER Equipment], [+20 SILVER Cores] Such gorgeous rewards were exactly the same for the 27th, 28th, and 29th floors as one could just multiply the above loot by 4 to grasp the shocking collection of loot! Just forgetting everything else for a second, the 5000 Bronze Upgrade Crystals every time meant he now had 20,000 to build up another SILVER Rift Boss, while the 1000 Silver Upgrade Crystals meant he could increase the strength of his current Silver Beasts to crazier amounts. At Silver, it required 50,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals for a single Unit to be maxed, and Noah would ridiculously need 100,000 to be able to make his first GOLD Unit! When that time came¡­ His zing eyes could barely contain themselves as he closed them to calm down, turning his attention towards the 3rd Silver Rift Boss he was about to fuse. This time, it was abination of the Elder Stone Treant and Illusory Willow- thebination of the healing and support units! RUMBLE! A gorgeous show of colors cascaded out after the two units were pumped to brim with Crystals and their fusion began. The light only began to die down after a few seconds as it showed a wondrous new Unit that exceeded Noah''s expectations. [Tree Pixie] :: A terrifying creature that is a feared local in the Dream Forest. It has a habit of pulling its enemies to sleep before it strangles them to death while sucking on their nutrients. Its Abilities include [Resplendent Heal], [Deep Slumber], and [Entangling Vines]. Small in size as barely half a meter, a green creature that had transparent wings and a small humanoid figure could be seen. An amazing all around support unit! Noah thought of this because it had the ability to heal and restrict enemies at an even greater level than the Illusory Willow and Elder Stone Treant had, and as for its third ability? [Deep Slumber] :: The Tree Pixie can release deadly transparent smoke that lulls beings into a deep sleep that they cannot wake out of for an entire 60 seconds. Those in the same Rank have a 75% chance of being affected, with those at higher rank having a 25% chance of being affected. It was an ability that Noah thought was extremely overpowered, and one that he could use to elerate the ns he had set moving forward! Chapter 51 - Increase The Number Of Subjugated! I With a third SILVER Rift Boss added to his party, Noah eyed the 30th floor that had gorgeous rewards. At the same time, he focused on his [Mind Connection] as he sent a message to the Silver Blessed he had subjugated. After he cleared the 30th floor, he nned to use the cover of the few hours of the night remaining to move in the dark as he earnestly began moving against the enemies within the City! "Let''s go!" His resonant voice called out to the units as they delved into the 30th floor that actually contained five SILVER Rift Bosses. Each of them was gigantic as the SILVER Treants moved with vigor and purpose, Noah testing out the Tree Pixie''s ability as he had it release the gas of the [Deep Slumber] skill while the Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent moved in! BOOM! Against these Rift Bosses, Noah also joined as his body became wrapped in SILVER Skills. An armor of Magma gloriously surrounded his body as he shed forward, calling out for [Molten Burst] as from him, a pir of Magma erupted and rushed towards the Treants that began to burn wherever the skill touched them! ROAAR! Their bellows rang out as Noah continued to cast the ability until he drained all of his mana, popping a Mana Potion into his mouth thereafter as he watched it slowly regenerate his energy. The two offensive Units were as fearsome as ever, matching the powerful Rift Bosses and even pushing them back! In the few seconds since the battle began though, the vigorous figures of 3 Rift Bosses suddenly turned limp as if they lost consciousness. They...had actually been affected by the Deep Slumber skill as they were lulled into a deep sleep! Noah''s eyes shone at this wondrous ability as his Units roared out to use this chance, the Tree Pixie using Entangling Vines as its small body shimmered with light, its roots wrapping around the two awake Treants as it kept them at bay. During this time, Noahmanded the Horned Serpent and Flesh Giant to point away and reap the lives of the Rift Bosses that were lulled to sleep, going towards the third one himself as his body shone with the [Magma Armor]nded on the human like face of the Treant while he cast [Molten Burst] multiple times while using his SILVER Sword to cut deep into the Boss! Against enemies that were lulled into sleep, how hard was it to kill them if you could get through their defenses? BOOM! The Flesh Giant and Horned Serpent made quick work of their sleeping enemies as they ripped them apart, Noah burning a hole through his target as in a matter of seconds, three SILVER Rift Bosses fell. 3! After that, it didn''t take long for the entangled and angrily roaring remaining 2 Bosses to be defeated as the 30th floor was cleared out in a grand fashion! RUMBLE! Energy fluctuations reverberated out as Noah released a deep breath while looking at the Tree Pixie. It made the battles much easier as shockingly found the uses of this Unit would only be more stupendous as time passed! They were teleported out of the Floor as they appeared in the waiting room, Noah checking the rewards for the 30th floor that already entered his Inventory. [Rewards for clearing the 30th Floor] :: [+2000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+50 Random Bronze Equipment], [+30,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+10,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+50 Health Potions], [+50 Mana Potions], [+50 Strength Potions], [+50 Defense Potions] [+5 SILVER Skill Books], [+20 Random SILVER Equipment], [+300 SILVER Cores] On the 30th floor, Iron Rank Rewards were taken away as an abundant amount of Bronze and Silver Loot came to be! Enough Upgrade Crystals to obtain another Silver unit, enough Silver Cores to reach peak Silver for him and the two girls, and even 5 skill books! His eyes shone brilliantly as it was also at this moment that he received a message from the Subjugated Blessed he shared a connection with. "Master, I have about 7 Silver Blessed who took over the abode of an important personage within the City. They are the furthest from where the Golden Commander is!" The Blessed he dominated collected information and fed it all to him as Noah nodded. He looked at the wondrous rewards he received from the tower as many thoughts crossed his mind. He wanted to use the cover of the night to begin on his mission as soon as possible. He had learned his lesson on not wasting time as doing something even a day earlier could have possibly prevented many things! His body shed away from the waiting room as he recalled his Units, his eyes quickly going over the Idle Gaming System Interface as he used the many Bronze Unit Shards he had to summon new Bronze units for possible fusion. In the room of the Inn, he saw the two girls were still sleeping on the bed. He didn''t have to worry for their protection while inside an abode such as this, but he still waved his hands to summon a Bronze Unit to just keep watch and send a message to him in case something unexpected happened! He then quietly slipped out of the room to go towards the location that the Subjugated Blessed spoke of while going through the 5 new skill books and the next possible fusion of Bronze Units into Silver. It was only halfway through the night, but it was bound to be wild! --- In a certain Vi within City 8. It used to be a grand mansion that two powerful Silver Blessed of Academy City lived in, but it was currently taken over by the enemy forces as 8 Silver Blessed resided within and used it as theirmand center! Among the silver blessed living there currently, one of them happened to be the one that Noah subjugated. After obtaining information from the dominated blessed, Noah nned to begin his grasp for the power of City 8 by starting with the Silver Blessed in this vi! Chapter 52 - Increase The Number Of Subjugated! II Deep in the night. Noah''s figure shed silently as he appeared In an area at the back of the vi where his subjugated Blessed was residing in. "Master." The Blessed kneeled towards him as Noah merely nodded as he voiced out. "They are all asleep?" "Yes, master. After a night of debauchery where they enjoyed themselves with the men and women of this past academy city, many of them have fallen to the folds of sleep." Noah''s face was cold as he nodded and proceeded to call out the silver rank Tree Pixie. SHAA! The figure of the humanoid Winged creature shining green appeared as she put on a cute expression while looking at Noah! He gave but a singlemand to this powerful unit. "Use Deep Slumber and scatter the smoke everywhere in this vi. Keep scattering it as I don''t want them to wake before things are ready." Noah said this as he gave multiple mana potions to the Tree Pixie. A skill was silently cast as a transparent smoke soundlessly swept through the expansive Vi! As it was cast, the silver blessed within the vi that had much less resistancepared to the rift bosses that even Noah had battled against just an hour prior- these Blessed could do nothing but fall into deeper slumbers where they would not wake until even after a whole minute passed. Noah went room to room as he nced coldly within. He entered into rooms that had extravagant beds with scantily d women strewn all around, and the enemy blessed reclining on these majestic beds with happy smiles on their faces! He even walked into a room where there was a female silver blessed and all around her in the bed were five bronze blessed men that looked tired and spent. He and the Subjugated Blessed moved with great speed as they collected all seven of the Silver enemy blessed and brought them to a singr location- a wide training hall in the basement of the Vi! All seven were sleeping soundly without a care in the world when Noah motioned and released another silver unit. This time it was the fearsome Horned Serpent that slithered onto the wide training hall of the vi, its enormous body wrapping around each of them and beginning to constrict tightly! None of them had any defenses up so they could not even raise their silver energy to protect themselves, Noah hearing the sounds of bones cracking as he merely looked on with cold eyes. Even his hands shimmered with a silver light as he moved personally to grasp their necks and shatter their vocal cords! When the effect of the deep slumber skill finished, the seven Blessed woke up in a fright as they felt the bodies horribly injured and mangled. ¡­.! Their throats were not even able to utter a sound as Noah had gone ahead and shattered their vocal cords, the sounds they released seeing extremely gruesome! They looked like dead fish with extremely terrified eyes as they felt that death was near. In the depth of fear and pain, they looked in front of them to find a man with shimmering blue eyes. His eyes locked with each of them as he silently cast [Subjugate] over the disoriented and heavily injured blessed. RUMBLE! It did not take long before all seven were released from the constraints of the Horned Serpent, their mangled bodies falling into the ground as Noah snapped his fingers to call the Tree Pixie. The powerful unit cast [Resplendent Heal] multiple times over their bodies as a wondrous golden light washed over each of them "Ahhh¡­!" Distinct groans could be heard as the seven blessed were healed, feeling the pain of their bones realigning and their vocal folds reconstructing until they were as good as new! Their bodies got back to brimming with power as their eyes carried a tint of blue. They quickly kneel to the ground as they looked reverently towards the man with deep blue eyes, the same being who had just nearly shattered the muscles in their bodies, and they called out. "Master." On this day, Noah Eckert began expanding his influence as he slowly began to infiltrate the forces of the Dark Continent, beginning with 8 Blessed as he entirely dominated their minds and took over a huge Vi! After he subjugated the enemy blessed, he looked around the vi as he saw how these beings lived like kings. Thinking of the two girls still in the Elegant Pearl Inn, he made some arrangements by sending variousmands to the blessed within the vi. "Send out all the beings you were ying with and clean up the vi. Make it into something that we can use as a base of operations." "Yes,master!" The seven blessed and the first one nodded as Noah didn''t even bother addressing them with their names, simply giving them numbers simr to how they themselves gave their subjugated Cities numbers as the form of identification! The blessed werebeled one through eight, and Noah left the vi while beckoning to Number 1. SHAA! They shed out of the vi in the dark of the night and soon appeared in the small room within the Inn while waking up the girls. He told them they were going somewhere much safer, where there would be protection from multiple silver blessed around them! The two girls were shocked, but they didn''t dare underestimate Noah after all the things he had shown to them over the past few days. So Annalise and Rose simply nodded and followed silently in the night, going towards a Vi that had its strongest being under Noah''s control. The attendants and weaker beings in the bronze rank would soon follow. When the dawn of the next day broke, everything around the city seemed to forge on with the new normal. Nobody within it realized that in thest few hours, of the 100 Silver Blessed from the Dark Continent that were stretched across the city, eight were now subjugated! A few hours passed as dawn broke, the resplendent rays of sunlight washing over City 8 as within a certain Vi, a base of operations had gradually formed in the night as Noah collected abundant information about the enemies he faced... Chapter 53 - Max Idle Exp, Shocking Upgrade! I Within the subjugated vi, Noah and the two girls were within the wide underground training hall in the early hours of the morning. "Yaa!" Valiant screams could distinctly be heard from Annalise and Rose as the two girls were actually training within by fighting two Subjugated SILVER Blessed after Noah gave them some of his many Cores to continue absorbing and bring their strength to Peak Silver. RUMBLE! Frost was spreading throughout the region that Annalise was standing in as the being with the Ice Queen Inherent Skill could now utilize it with even more proficiency as her Rank was elevated higher and higher. ''The Inherent Skills of this Realm are too different...but I can see Rose eventually being able tomand the Ice Element to possibly freeze entire regions in the future¡­'' This was the thought that crossed Noah''s mind as he watched the ass whooping taking ce against the subjugated blessed. The Blessed known as Number 5 had frost all over her body as the sparring continued! BOOM! Not too far from them, Rose had lightning running across her body as it reinforced all her attacks, the past Princess gradually stepping out of being the weakest being in the SILVER Rank as after absorbing many Cores and honing her battle senses, she was now seeming like a capable Blessed. ''Aside from her experience as a Royalty, the damage she can release with her Inherent Skill could make her a terrifying offensive Blessed.'' Another thought crossed Noah''s mind as he saw the girls moved with even more vigor against their sparring partners! BOOM! Number 5 and 7 were knocked back at the same time as the two girls looked towards each other with slight smiles. As time passed, the phase of grief gradually lifted as smiles returned to the faces of the girls every now and then, especially in instances like these where they trained and felt their strength increasing! "Brother, why don''t you spar with us?" Annalise and Rose''s bountiful chests bounced up and down as they overexerted themselves, Noah beckoning towards the Tree Pixie beside him to cast Resplendent Heal on them as their bodies very quickly rejuvenated. He had been lying on the ground as he watched their spars and yed around with the Idle Gaming System Interface, looking at all the Bronze Units he had obtained from the Random Bronze Unit Shards he was avidly collecting from the Tower. Since they were random, many of them didn''t match each other in their elements as Noah wondered if he should go ahead and fuse from them or wait until tonight when he would get the Idle Resources from the Bronze Rifts again that would grant him 3 types of Bronze Rift Bosses! "I''ve gotta head back into the Rifts within the Tower. You guys can keep on training and tell the Blessed under Number 5 to prepare a feast in the meanwhile." He spoke with a light smile as he stood up, motioning for the girls to use the Subjugated Silver Blessed and the Bronze ones below her that Noah had subjugated throughout the night. The Vi had the Silver Blessed and their attendings were now fully under Noah''s control, and one of the firstmands from him was to follow themands of the two girls as if they were his own. "Be safe¡­" Rose called out lightly as Annalise looked towards Noah''s disappearing body, the spatial light very soon warping him away from the underground space. The two girls then turned around to look at the tired Silver Blessed they were just sparring with. "Again!" Their valiant voices rang out as they continued to train! --- Meanwhile, Noah dove back into the Tower of Champions as he continued past the 31st Floor. Keeping up with the past, he now found himself in a different environment from the 31st floor onwards, leaving behind the Expansive green ins where he found Treants as the mobs this time around were SILVER Ranked flying andnd type beasts of the ice element! He seemed to have appeared in an extremely cold and frozenndmass, mountainous regions nketed with snow being seen all around him as he faced attacks from above and below by ferocious beasts. ''Every single Rift and Floor feels like an entirely new world...'' Yes! Every single Rift and floor and he descended in always felt like he had transmigrated somewhere else, each ce being so distinct that he couldn''t help but think in this manner! The units were summoned as with the Flesh Giant and Horned Serpent at the lead while the Tree Pixie used her terrifying control abilities of Deep Slumber and Entangling Vine paired up with Noah''s powerful Silver Rank Offensive skills of the fife element, the 31st floor wasn''t too much of an issue! He had debated and decided to not yet use the Bronze Rank Upgrade Crystals to forge a new Silver Unit as he waited for the Idle Rewards tonight, his eyes constantly looking at the Idle Exp that might actually be filled up fully by the end of the day tonight as he waited for both the loot resources from the Rifts and the possible surprise of making his Exp and seeing what wondrous thingse out of it. So he crossed the upper floors while forging strength even higher, the only thing he could consider a negative being the fact that each floor took over an hour to scale and clear! But with its abundant rewards, he didn''tin as he found himself even collecting over 20,000 more Bronze Upgrade Crystals after clearing 31st-34th floors in less than 5 hours! The wondrous rewards for the past 4 floors were identical and looked as such. [Rewards for clearing the 31st Floor] :: [+1000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+25 Random Bronze Equipment], [+5,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+1,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+50 Health Potions], [+50 Mana Potions], [+50 Strength Potions], [+50 Defense Potions],[+2 Bronze Skill Books], [+1 SILVER Skill Books], [+10 Random SILVER Equipment], [+100 SILVER Cores] Gorgeous loot for nearly half a day''s worth of hard work! Even Noah couldn''t help but look at his progress as something major that he got from past floors were the many skill books that he added to himself, especially the passive skills that caused his power to rise by another level. [Noah Eckert] [Rank: SILVER] [Strength: SILVER] [Dexterity: SILVER] [Intelligence: SILVER] [Vitality: SILVER] [Skill(s): [INHERENT- Mind Dominator], [BRONZE(Active) - Fire Bolt, Ice Spear, Earth Wall], [BRONZE(Passive)-? Tough Skin, Vision Enhancement, Haste, Endurance, Increased Evasion, Heightened Senses, Fast Feet, Bolstered Defense], [SILVER(Active)- Molten Burst, Magma Armor, Frozen Barrage], [SILVER(Passive)- Minor Automatic Regeneration, Minor Aura of Strength] His stat panel had expanded greatly over the past few days, numerous skills being added as he always liked the many passive ones mote the active ones. This was especially so for the Minor Automatic Regeneration and the new one he grabbed from the past floors- Minor Aura of Strength! SILVER [Minor Aura of Strength] :: An aura circles around your body passively, giving you elevated strength to overpower your enemies at all times. The colorful red effect can be turned off and be made transparent if the user wishes. Passive Skills were really something he liked and wanted to get more of! After getting such abundant rewards for half the day, his figure shed out of the Tower and reappeared in the Vi,ing to see the scene of Annalise and Noah talking amongst each other with light smiles on their faces. A feast was on a wide table within the dining hall of the Vi they upied, the two girls waiting for Noah as they didn''t start without him. On the exquisite seats around the table, Rose seemed to be telling Annalise of all the things outside City 8 as she nodded with a shining expression, Noah himself not helping but smile at the scene of the two girls as he was d they slowly healed and returned to their old selves, walking towards them to enjoy the feast as many thoughts filled his mind! Chapter 54 - Max Idle Exp, A Shocking Upgrade! II After he returned to the Vi, he gavemands to the few remaining Subjugated Silver as he put together the many clusters of information he was receiving. The Blessed didn''t stay in the house the entire day as they had the tasks they were assigned to from the Golden Commander Stephon of overseeing the City and keeping order, only one or two Blessed being able toe back in the Vi at all times throughout the day! Noah nned to expand his influence even further as in the near future, he wanted all of the 100 Silver Blessed from the Dark Continent to be under his heel as he subjugated all of them! With such wondrous dreams, he continued with steady steps as in thetter half of the day, he went ahead to reduce the clear times of the six Iron and Bronze Rifts, and even entering the Silver Rift in the evening anding out of it at night. With his Units and the two girls that were ceaselessly improving their strength, the clear time for the Iron Rifts was brought down to an average of 17 minutes, the Bronze Rifts being brought down to 22 minutes, while the Silver Rift went from taking an hour and bing reduced to 40 minutes! A shocking rate of advancement as with this, the rate he collected Idle Rewards was going to be even more extravagant. They spent thetter half of the day this way as they remained in the Silver Rift for 3 hours longer beforeing out, a few hours having already passed since night came as they returned to the Vi without any issues. Noah had the two girls get some food while telling them to rest, dragging his tired body to the waiting room of the Tower of Champions as he held an excited glint in his eyes. He knew that from his hard work in the past few days, he was about to be rewarded with something huge! He began by entering the Idle Gaming System Interface and clicking on all the 7 Rifts he had on Idle Mode. The abundant rewards of the Iron Rift showed themselves first, then the Bronze, and Ultimately Silver! [+2575 Idle Exp]...[+129 Minotaur Shards]...[+1345 Idle Exp]...[+310 Idle Exp]...[+3 SILVER Rank Skill Books]... The shining rewards of his hard work were shown in front of his eyes as a secondter, a prompt popped up that caused his blue eyes to shine even brighter. DING [Idle Exp requirement met. Upgrade System level?] A notification sound and bright blue words appeared in front of his eyes. The words seemed like the most beautiful things one could see as he nodded his eyes with great enthusiasm! RUMBLE! A glorious golden light shone as the Idle Gaming System underwent its second upgrade, the design of the Interface looking even more wondrous as the words of the System appeared in front of his eyes once more. [System Sessfully Upgraded. Unlocked The Shattered Elemental nes Rifts. Max number of avable Units increased by 1. Idle Exp required for next level: 100,000.] Noah''s eyes constricted at the next unlocked feature, not being able to stop himself as he quickly gleaned information on it! [The Shattered Elemental nes Rifts] :: The Master of the Idle Gaming System now has the chance to enter Shattered Dimensional Rifts that have great dangers, but in turn give bountiful rare treasures from Unique High Tier Elements Beasts. The Type of avable? Shattered Elemental Rifts changes every 3 days. Currently Avable Shattered Elemental Rift: Shattered Light ne. ¡­! rm and shock were apparent on Noah''s face as he read about the fantastical feature! The chance to enter rare Dimensional Rifts that held beasts from High Tier Element Beasts! RUMBLE! In the waiting room where he always came to enter the Tower of Champions, the ground below him quaked as something else rose to the right side of where the Tower was. This time, it was an enormous Tower that was no less domineering than the Tower of Champions, but this one was shining brightly in a golden color! It represented the new feature of the [Shattered Elemental Rifts]? and at this time, the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift was avable! Noah''s heart beat slightly faster as he thought of all the possible rare loot within, ncing at the first golden portal that was enticing him to quickly enter. His Units were summoned with Haste as he very quickly began walking towards the shimmering golden portal that drew him the moment he neared it! As the spatial light warped around him and sent him to a far away Dimension, he found his sight clearing up as his eyes opened up to a bright new world. The ground below him felt soft as Verdant golden grass grew from it, the atmosphere having wisps of golden light flowing serenely across as far in the distance, Noah even saw glimmering golden trees! ¡­! He raised his head to look around more as when he looked at the skies, he was left in shock as it wasn''t a blue sky with a sun or moon hanging in the distance, but it seemed like a shattered ss surface that showed the starry space from up close! Space! With multiple shimmering stars ands shining far in the distance¡­ This was the Shattered Light ne he had entered, a piece of a Dimensional Rift that was broken off from who knew what world or Realm, and it seemed to be shockingly hidden in space! CAAA! Noah was thrown out of his stupor as he heard the roar of a fearsome monster, his Units moving in formation as he turned his eyes toe across a fearsome looking beast pping its wide wings from the skies anding towards them. The name [Light Eagle] floated above it as it towered over 10 meters in size, its feathers painted gold as its beak let out a terrifying shine that could blind others! RUMBLE! As he looked at this terrifying Light Element Beast at the Silver Rank, he was d he hadn''t yet spent his Bronze Upgrade Crystals to forge the two new Silver Units yet. When he got his hands on the Bronze Unit Shards of this wondrous Shattered Elemental Rift...he could very possibly get himself stupidly powerful and rare Light Units at the SILVER Rank, and two of them at that! CAA! The Light Eagle cried out once more as it barreled towards them, the Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent ready to protect their master as a terrifying battle bloomed in the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift! Chapter 55 - I Command Light Units! The Beasts within the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift were truly powerful. Among the many Beasts Noah hade across, these Light Element beasts took the number one spot currently with their ferociousness and wondrous skills! Across the Shattered ne that was filled with golden vegetation and wide gold trees, they came across Light Eagles that attacked from the skies, their wings pping to release terrifying light arrows that the thick skin of the Flesh Giant had to defend against. When they traveled further in, they even came across a terrifying creature that was walking on the ground even though it had resplendent gold wings- it was a Griffin! ROAAR! The Griffin was one of the more terrifying beasts they hade across in the shattered light ne, with Its golden feathers as sharp as des and its ws were even sharper as they even caused huge gashes on the enormous body of the Flesh Giant. Noah even carefully stayed behind as he cast long distance skills while giving mana potions to the Tree Pixie to continue healing the Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent. Any bronze units would have been ripped apart easily, so Noah did not call the Units he needed to fill up the unit slots. The moment he cleared the Shattered Light ne and saw exactly what different types of units he could get his hands on...then he would freely utilize his loot! From the vast golden grasnds to even the enormous foliage of golden trees, Noah''s units crossed this wondrous new location as they continued facing Griffins and Light Eagles as the only two different types of beasts within this floor. Noah had to spend over an hour across the first floor of this shattered light Rift, his pets and himing out extremely tired! But his eyes remained bright as he looked towards their awards that came from defeating so many powerful Light Type Beasts. [Rewards for clearing the 1st floor of the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift : [+100 Bronze LIGHT Unit Shards], [+25 Silver LIGHT Unit Shards], [+2 SILVER Rank Light Equipment], [+3 Loot Drop Potion] An array of rewards opened up in front of him! He first looked at the Potion that shone with a blue gold light. [Loot Drop Potion] :: Consuming this potion causes defeated enemies to drop more loot. If consumed during a level on the Tower of Champions or Shattered Rifts, the proper adjustment will be made to the levels rewards. "..." A shockingly rare loot from this unique Rift! A potion that increases the chances of obtaining more loot...what more could one ask for? With the first floor giving him high expectations, he went on to the next as he pulled out the two Silver Ranked Light Equipment. SHAA! In front of his eyes, a shining armor releasing a white light and a gorgeous bow appeared. SILVER [Pdin''s White Armor] :: Heavily protects against physical and magical damage while granting the wearer constant [Rejuvenation]. SILVER [Light Bow] :: A bow that requires no arrows, only the Mana of the user to form deadly arrows that never miss their target. "Well¡­" Even the items from this rift were stupendous as Noah donned on the Pdin''s White Armor and Light Bow. He could now deal deadly long distance attacks while still protecting himself fully! What was left to see next were the Unit Shards, 25 in Silver and 100 in Bronze that were ready to be summoned. Within shining eyes, Noah utilized the 100 Bronze light unit Shards right away! RUMBLE! A brilliant golden sh of light, and he called forth his first unit of the Light Element. Pale gold in color, transparent, and having the humanoid appearance, it was something called Light Elemental! BRONZE [Light Elemental] :: A rare creature of the Light element that loves to swallow mana. It possesses strong physical damage immunity as it is incorporeal. Its abilities include [Attack Absorption] and [Light st] ¡­! His eyes hungrily went up and down the Light Elemental as he nodded and turned towards the Shattered Elemental Rifts. He wanted to go back and continue diving until he achieved a SILVER Light Elemental, and so he did! "Let''s go!" With overflowing drive, he continued onto the second floor of the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift, newly armored and weaponized along with an Extra Light Elemental by his side. The second floor was just as vast as the first, where in addition to the Light Eagle and Griffins, he also came across Pegasi! Vibrantly white and flesh eating Pegasi that could shatter a man''s chest with their deadly hooves, ones that also released spears of light that without the Tree Pixie''s constant Deep Slumber and Resplendent Heal skills, the battles would have been extremely tough for Noah! But he persevered as he spent the entire remaining half of the night going through the fantastical looking Shattered Elemental Rifts that were filled with dangers and even more abundant treasures. After 4 hours and going through deadly Light Eagles, Griffins, and Pegasi...he was finally rewarded! With the [Loot Drop Potion] he drank while diving in, the end rewards he received were even more numerous as after finishing the fourth floor...over 350/100 BRONZE Light Unit Shards and a full 120/100 Silver Light Unit Shards were in his Inventory. He saved them all for a wondrous unboxing as it was time for him to greatly enhance his strength. 3 Bronze Light Dimensional Beasts were first summoned from the 350 Shards. RUMBLE! A Light Sparrow, another Light Elemental, and a Great Horned Light Owl appeared in Noah''s inventory! The 100 Silver Shards were also used as after a bright eruption of light...something Noah had been battling this entire time came to him! SILVER [Light Pegasus] :: A terrifying beast of the Light element. Capable of flight as well as powerful offensive attacks, it can act as the best mount while using its golden hooves to break the bones of your enemies. Its abilities include [Light Spear], [Flight], and [Elemental Reinforcement]. NEEIGH! The gorgeous sound of a horse entered Noah''s ears as a Pegasus bowed its head towards him. It was gorgeously white all around as streaks of gold covered the feathers on its wings, Noah going forward to stroke its head with a smile. A fourth SILVER Unit had entered his hands, and another 2 were about to do so as his eyes honed in on the 4 Bronze Rank Units he could upgrade and fuse. It felt like it was worth the wait to save his Upgrade Crystals for so long! Chapter 56 - Moving In The Shadows To Subjugate A City! I From all the Light Shards, there were 4 Bronze Light Units that came to light- Two Light Elementals, a Light Sparrow, and a Great Horned Light Owl! He had the required Upgrade Crystals, so he pumped all the 40,000 Bronze Crystals total into all of them as he epted the prompt for the fusion, the names of two new Silver Beasts showing in his Inventory as he summoned them outside. The two Light Elementals bore fruit to a 2 meter tall Light Guardian- a humanoid outline of a being that was fully made of transparent light! It nearly seemed invisible as it blended into the surroundings. The two bird type beasts gave way to a 4 meterrge Fiery Light Falcon that had its feathers dancing with golden mes, its body shining beautifully as it released a loud cry! [Light Guardian] :: A rare creature of the Light Element that boasts strong offensive and defensive capabilities to protect its master. It''s abilities include [Invisibility], [Light Ray], and [Golden Bastion]. [Fiery Light Falcon] :: A creature born for the skies, its golden mes capable of scorching any normal being of the same Rank. Its abilities include [Golden st], [Meteoric Descent], and [Burning Light mes]. Two more SILVER Units that each had their own utility, Noah looking over their details closely as he saw many ways of using them! But this current situation left behind the terrifying reality of him filling up all of his 6 Unit Slots with Silver Ranked Dimensional Rift Bosses in the span of half a night. 6 SILVER Rank Rift Bosses! RUMBLE! He summoned them all together to look at them in their full glory. The Flesh Giant, Horned Serpent, Tree Pixie, Light Pegasus, Light Guardian, and the Fiery Light Falcon! Each of them stood subserviently in front of him as their terrifying looking figures bowed their heads towards his direction, just waiting for instructions. With these being backing him up and while he himself was wearing a gorgeous set of SILVER Armor with a shimmering golden bow in his hands, he turned towards the next level of the Shattered Light Rift as he continued. --- As Noah was constantly advancing, so were others! After the forces of the Dark Continent had solidified their grasp of the Subjugated Cities, more forces entered as they nned to reinforce them with manpower and never lose them. From the Imperial Capital, an overabundance of forces had left and arrived onto multiple Cities, the presence of the Rulers of the Ethereal Realm being shown once more as powerful GOLD Blessed were dispatched on the front lines. It felt like a deadlock had appeared as the Dark Continent didn''t advance further in while the Light Continent heavily fortified its borders. But was it really so? Was the preliminary attack of the Dark King simply stopped at the subjugation of a few cities? What about the Wild Continent, what exactly were the forces of this dangerous Continent doing this whole time? ¡­! Within City 8, it was deep in the night, but there was a buzz of activity as in the cover of darkness, many beings had unexpectedly arrived. Noah was finishing the 5th Floor of the Shattered Light Rift when he received a message from Number 1. "Master, groups of Bronze and Silver Blessed have been entering the City, with themands of the Golden Commander Stephon justing down in thest few minutes telling us to wee them and to work together." ZIIING! Noah had knocked a pulsating golden arrow while utilizing the [Light Bow] as he received the message, his mind moving fast as he replied while working with his Units to damage the enormous SILVER Griffin Rift Bosses they faced! "They are not from the Dark Continent?" "No, Master." Noah took in these words with sharp eyes as he looked to the starry stars that could be seen from the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift. He gazed at the beautiful sight as his 6 Units swarmed the Rift Bosses and utterly decimated them with shy attacks as many thoughts crossed his mind. From the memories of the Subjugated Blessed, he didn''t find out of any other forces aiding the Dark Continent, but it seemed like only the Golden Commanders were made aware! It was of the terrible truth that the Dark and Wild Continents were actually allowing together for their conquest- something that even the forces of the Imperial Capital might not know at this moment! With such shocking news of the Wild Continent joining the fray and bringing their forces to reinforce the Dark Continent, Noah had to work even faster. His task to put the enemy Blessed within the City Under his grasp as they were all subjugated...had to be elerated! Aside from going down the Shattered Elemental Rift and the Tower in the next few days, the task of covertly making the powerful experts of the City Under him wouldmence fully! BOOM! Thest Rift Boss fell under the attacks of his pets as their figures were teleported away, an abundant amount of rewards shing in front of his face as he recalled all the Units but two. It was the newly gained Light Unit that had the ability of [Invisibility], the Light Guardian, along with the Tree Pixie! A Unit with terrifying offensive abilities that could also be hidden from the eyes of others along with a Unit that could restrict and put enemies to sleep. With such a match up, Noah left the waiting area where the portals of the Tower of Champions and the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Riftsid, appearing within the Vi as he sent multiple messages to his Subjugated Blessed! "Send me the coordinates of all isted Silver Blessed around the City, even those in groups of 3 or 5¡­" Paired up with shockingly powerful Light Elemental Units with his own power increasing by a mile, Noah nned to traverse City 8 as he went hunting in the deep of the night! Chapter 57 - Moving In The Shadows To Subjugate A City! II In the dark hours of the night where Noah began to move with his Subjugated Blessed, a shocking meeting was urring at the heart of the City. In a skyscraper that was formerly the Golden Phoenix Auction House, Commander Stephon was standing at the top floors of it while overlooking the City, the expansive room he was in palpating with power as soon after, another aura simr to his entered! "Brother Stephon, I didn''t think we''d be stationed together so quickly." The gruff voice of a GOLD Expert resounded out as Golden Commander Stephon looked over with a scowl. "They actually sent the Red Berserker to reinforce me?" "Haha, you should be happy! It means no matter what response the Imperial Capital sends, we will stand strong!" RUMBLE! The two Gold Rank experts gave each other bear hugs as they sat down to talk. One would be shocked at their identities, as one was a Golden Commander from the Dark Continent, and another from the Wild Continent! Yet they were talking and discussing as if they were brothers in arms, showing that there were many things in the dark that many didn''t understand! "We''re currently reinforcing all the Subjugated Cities and preparing to move further ind. The Dimensional Rifts these guys have been so freely enjoying...we will have them all ourselves." RUMBLE! "In time, Brother. What I am most hesitant of is when the Imperial Capital chooses to send out its true experts. The DIAMOND Ranked Masters within their ranks¡­" Stephon''s face was thoughtful as he recalled the powerful Blessed that should be under the Imperial Capital! "Hmph, we have our own! Ones that trained hard to get where they are. And the moment we take over the Imperial City, we will able to produce even more experts like them¡­!" ¡­! A shocking conversation continued as the tides of war advanced forward! --- Hello. I am Number 1. Since a few days ago, the Master was gracious enough to show me the way, and I have seen the path forward under his awakening! With my will solely following his, we were currently moving across City 8 toplete the mission to add even more brothers and sisters into our ranks. "Huk!" In an area where a Silver Blessed was patrolling in the dark of the night, he suddenly tumbled to the ground and fell asleep as I shed in to silently pull him to the alley way, the Master breaking their bones and vocal cords as his eyes shed a gorgeous blue the moment the Blessed woke up. This was when a new brother would join our ranks as he was shown the way! Master would then use his wondrous Unit to heal them as the brother newly joining our ranks would be given themand to wade through the City in search of more Silver Blessed. We had been moving across the city like this for the past few hours! It had been slow at first, but the pace gradually picked up when Master added Number 20, our numbers having more than doubled to what they were previously. With a force of 20 Blessed moving through the City, our speed exploded through thest part of the night, and this was all also due to another terrifying pet that the Master summoned! It was a transparent creature made of light, one that could turn invisible to get up close to Blessed and puncture their lungs before dragging them to Master! Whether we were going through Vis where Blessed were sleeping or at the edges of the city where the Blessed patrolled, we were seamlessly and silently able to move and add another 30 brothers and sisters as when the night ended, Number 50 was with us. What a glorious Number. What a glorious night! For us who were shown the way, we could only hope to bask in Master''s glory as we faithfully carried out hismands, our hearts expectant on what the future held under the Rule of the Master! --- The past night was extremely fruitful for Noah, moving with extreme efficiency as he only found his task to get easier with time passing. When one controlled the tens of powerful Silver Blessed, the things that could be done ballooned up greatly as the efficiency was kicked up another notch! The cycle of finding Blessed that were either patrolling or resting to be added to his ranks turned easy as he moved with the Units that could put others to sleep or the one that could turn invisible and ambush the Blessed with powerful skills. It left him with the stupendous result of the rays of sunlight washing over him with a new day, 50 Blesseding under hismand as his eyes shone with brilliance when he looked over the City! 50! One must recall that 100 Blessed from the Dark Continent were dispatched to Subjugate academy city, and now over half of them had fallen under Noah silently. He would not target the Bronze Blessed yet as there were hundreds of them, knowing his mind would not be able to stand subjugating such arge number of people. But he didn''t need to worry about those with lesser power when he controlled the Silver Blessed who could control those below them. The City had gained tens more Silver Blessed from the Wild Continent as Noah was able to Subjugate a few from their ranks as well, the information he was receiving at this moment being something that even the Imperial Capital had no way of receiving! Frombing through the memories of many Blessed, a much clearer picture had painted itself in Noah''s mind. He returned to the Vi that was the base of operations early in the morning, givingmands to the many subjugated Blessed on how they should move as he made ns for his own moves and what he would ultimately do when he had all the Silver Blessed within the City Under his grasp! The ultimate goal was to bring down the GOLD Commander Stephon that now actually joined by another Gold Expert to oversee the city, and Noah nned to do so the moment he was confident in raising his SILVER Units to full power, or gaining enough Silver Upgrade Crystals to fuse two Units into the GOLD stage. For this...the Tower of Champions with its abundant rewards was required. ''The time will have to be divided into the Tower or Shattered Rifts while moving in the outside world to finish subjugating the rest of the Blessed.. '' The thought of how to move for the next few days formed in his mind as he couldn''t wait to get started! Chapter 58 - Speedrun! The Tower remained Noah''s topmost focus as after he talked with Rose and Annalise, he left the two girls to train with a few Silver Blessed as he made his way to continue past the 35th Floor. With the powerful addition of 3 Light Element Units and his team being fully 6 SILVER Rift Bosses...he tore his way across the Tower as he could see his speed of progression was about to be explosive! This time...he nned to do a speedrun! The rewards for the 35th floor were just as stupendous as they should have been, Noah gaining 30,000 Bronze Upgrade Crystals and 10,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals on top of 5 SILVER Skill Books and a variety of Potions. He took the passive skills for himself as the active Offensive skills like [Frost Barrage] and others would be saved for Annalise and Rose. His main focus at this moment was the Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals, these being the things that could produce a GOLD Unit for him! He needed 50,000 for each Unit to do so, and he was barely halfway through collecting them for the first Unit. With this on the line, he tore through the 36th through the 39th floor in a matter of 3 hours as he collected more loot, another 10,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals falling into his hands as he was ever closer! The levels of the Tower continued to be just as difficult, where the numbers of Silver Mobs increased and the Silver Rift Bosses he had to take down were even more numerous. At the rate it was going...he expected to be facing a GOLD Rift Boss by the 50th floor! Such a reality was terrifying to think about, but it meant that he would also very soon gain a creature at that very same Rank of power as he neared the 50th floor. Such a thought was the reason he would persevere on today''s speedrun! The 40th floor was an expansive frozen area that had rough winds flying about, containing over 10 powerful Rift Bosses within that Noah had to take out before he advanced forward. With a Light Pegasus and a Fiery Light Falcon raining down attacks from the air and 4 more powerful Units on the ground, the Rift Bosses were taken down in half an hour as Noah advanced forward relentlessly! Abundant rewards more numerous than the normal floors flooded to him as usual, forging forward as he could almost taste the power of a GOLD Unit! The 41st floor was then cleared. 42nd!, 43rd!, 44th! On the 44th floor that signified the 10th floor he had cleared on this single day, he finally went above the 50,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals to enhance a single Silver Unit to the peak! Aside from the 20,000 he gained from the 35-39th floor, the 40th floor alone granted the increased rewards of every 5 floors as it gave him double what he received on the 30th and 35th floors- it granted him a stupendous 20,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals for that single floor. The 41st through the 44th floors had granted him another 12,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals as aside from these, he had an overabundance of Skill Books, Silver Equipment, Cores. But his shining eyes focused on the now 72,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals from todays floors and the ones he had collected so far as with these...he was more halfway to making a GOLD Unit! ''Of course...it has to be one of the power Light Element Units.'' He rested his tired body while popping a Mana and Health Potion into his mouth, enjoying the sugary taste while thinking of the possibilities. He had truly been speedrunning the past floors, rapidly getting the rewards he wanted as his goal was right in front of him. Most floors took over an hour or more, a lot of time having passed as Noah remained in the Tower of Champions! He nced at the rewards of the 45th floor and above, his heart shaking as when he did the math¡­he truly just had to pass a few floors above it to get his hands on what he wanted! ''Haaa¡­'' He breathed out his exhaustion as he looked at his Units, popping in more mana and Health Potions as he restored himself to his peak before he dove into the 45th floor. The environment was in a frozen mountain, with the level being filled with over a dozen Silver Rift Bosses he had to find across the snowy areas. This single level alone was harder than any he hade across before, taking him an hour and half to wade through before he and his Units finished thest Silver Rift Boss. RUMBLE! Their figures were returned to the waiting room as Noah''s eyes were bloodshot, having not slept the past day as he had been constantly diving into the floors of the Tower of Champions for the past hours. Shockingly, a day had already passed as night had descended in the outside world, but as he saw the rewards of the 45th floor and how close it brought him to his goal...he had to force himself to continue! [Rewards for the 45th floor¡­+20,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals¡­+5 Silver Rank Skill Books¡­] Simr to the 40th floor, 20,000 Crystals greeted him as they brought his total number to...92,000. When he saw this number his bloodshot eyes nced at the floors above 45 and their rewards as...he knew no matter what happened tonight, he had to keep going. This was because from the 46th to the 49th floors, the loot rewards each held +5,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals within them! It meant that just clearing 2 more floors would put him over the 100,000 that he needed to fully bring two Silver Units to their peak before he could call forth a Gold Unit. For this...he had to continue. The environment of frozen wastnds continued for the 46th floor, the Potions and the abilities of the Tree Pixie to rejuvenate and heal his body being the only thing that kept Noah going. At this point, all the enemies they faced were Silver Rift Bosses by the dozens, the only lucky thing being how they were all spread out across the frozen wastnds so they couldn''t group up around Noah and his Units! The Light Element Units showed their superiority even against the Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent as within one hour and a half, the vast 46th floor was cleared. With bloodshot eyes that shone with a blue splendor, Noah delved into the 47th floor as it seemed to be the most grueling one so far, purely in terms of how tired he was at this point as he kept his focus by equipping the Light Bow and shooting deadly arrows towards their enemies. The floors of the Tower of Champions were bing much vaster and significantly harder as he continued to rise, the difficulty being ramped up great as Noah would need to quickly upgrade his power if he wanted to keep clearing the levels safely! But all it took was a matter of time. After close to 2 hours...the 47th floor was also cleared! ''Fucking finally¡­'' Noah let out a tired breath as he saw the number of Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals hit 102,000. Fifty thousand into each Silver Units, and the fusion of them into the GOLD rank would take ce! Just days after stepping into the rank of SILVER, Noah was about to call forth his first GOLD Unit! Chapter 59 - The First GOLD Unit! The choice of which ones to fuse remained on the powerful Light Element Units. Between the three, Noah didn''t want to lose the [Invisibility] skill from the Light Guardian as he was leaning towards fusing the Light Pegasus and the huge Fiery Light Falcon! Both creatures were of the Winged Light Element, with each of them carrying terrifying offensive abilities. Whenbined together, what would the GOLD Unit be like? OOOM! Noah waited no longer as he began to pump the Upgrade Crystals into the Light Pegasus and the Fiery Light Falcon. Their bodies vibrated with more and more power as Noah watched each of their numbers rise towards 50,000/50,000! WAA! When it was achieved, they released a sh of light as a prompt Noah had been waiting to see for too long finally appeared. [Two Units match the requirements for fusion and evolution into the GOLD Rank. Start the process?] "...start!" THRUM! In the waiting room, an intense white light shed out as the Light Pegasus and Fiery Light Fa were sucked towards each other, coagting together as the silver aura they released...mixed together brilliantly to very soon produce a wondrous golden color. The color gold seemed extremely enticing in Noah''s eyes, wondering when he himself would be able to wrap such a wonderful color around his own body! His shining eyes observed the process fully as the silver energy entirely disappeared, leaving behind a sh of gold as a majestic creature 5 metersrge unfurled its wings in front of Noah. The wings were bright gold as white mes danced over them. Its eyes...they shone brightly with an intense gold light as theynded on Noah, releasing an oppressive power that Noah had not even felt when he recalled the GOLD enemy Blessed that was in the skies staring at him like a bug! It was the true and genuine aura of a GOLD Rift Boss, a creature that was normally only found at the end of dreadful Gold Rank Dimensional Rifts that needed a team of Gold Blessed to clear. Such a creature stood in front of Noah now...as something he couldmand! GOLD [Congrant Pegasus] :: A mutated pegasus that is proficient in light and fire based attacks. Among the creatures in the GOLD Rank, it can be ced near the top in terms of pure attack power and speed. Its abilities include [Scorching Light Spear], [Elemental Reinforcement], [Rays of Burning Light], and [Instant eleration] "..." Noah nced at the details of this powerful beast as even with every single muscle and bone on his body screaming from tiredness after he spent nearly a full day going through the Tower of Champions, everything felt worth it at this point! He went forward as he ced his hand on its body that pulsed with power, closing his eyes as he felt this terrifying strength while thinking of the future. ''With this...what can the GOLD Blessed overseeing the City do?!'' RUMBLE! His thoughts were deadly as they focused on the Golden Commander Stephon that had been at the forefront of the city''s subjugation, as well as the new Gold Commander to arrive from the Wild Continent. ''There is much to do¡­!'' Noah''s eyes opened with a sh as he waved his hands, the Silver and single Gold Unit disappearing in front of him as his body also began to warp with the light of teleportation. He had been in the Tower for too long! He entered during the day as night came and passed, where it was now day again. But...he could finally get some decent sleep after his heart settled with the knowledge that he could now summon a terrifying GOLD Rift Boss. A creature that normally 10 Blessed of the same Rank would be required to take care of! This thought repeated in Noah''s mind as he appeared back in the training grounds of the Vi. "Brother¡­" Annalise''s voice called out the moment he returned, the girling forward and looking at Noah''s tired body up and down as she didn''t say anything else, only bringing Noah into her arms as she hugged him tightly! "...you''re working hard by yourself, being going for more than a day!" The little sister hugged her older brother tightly as even though she was growing to be a strongbatant, she was still soft towards the only remaining family she had! Noah had a light smile as he raised his face to look at Annalise. "Don''t worry about me. I just had to stay a bit longer to get the power we need to safely stand against those at the GOLD Rank!" ¡­! Shocking words were heard from him as Annalise looked towards him in shock, Rose''s voice ringing out from the side of the training hall as the two girls were just sparring with each other before Noah returned. "Already? Even with their reinforcements from the Wild Continent?" The eyes of the girls were shining dangerously as they looked towards Noah...who merely waved his hands to call forth the Congrant Pegasus. THRUM! The 5 meter majestic beast of light element appeared grandly as even though it didn''t release its outrageous aura at the Gold rank, the glint of gold waving from its body making the girls look forward in a stupor! "GOLD¡­" Rose went near the Beast as she then looked towards Noah in shock, Annalise being the only one toe out of the stupor as her eyes shone brilliantly. Noah spoke out as he waved his hands to make the beast disappear once more. "We have much to do before we make our move. I first need to Subjugate all the remaining Silver Blessed roaming across the City¡­" Noahid out the outline of his ns as for now...he had to n carefully what his next moves would be. "After experiencing the memories of so many powerful Blessed, I''vee to realize how important information is." "Our task will be to make sure that for theing battle against the GOLD Blessed...not a single piece of information about it travels outside this city!" RUMBLE! Many thoughts and ns were made as for the days toe...Noah wanted to utilize his Subjugated Blessed at full capacity to create a blockage of any information or people leaving the City. He wanted to take over it without the knowledge of either of the warring Continents as from this city...he would have a springboard tounch himself to greater heights! Chapter 60 - Control The Flow Of Information! After giving out multiplemands to the already subjugated Blessed, Noah''s exhaustion after moving across the Tower of Champions for over a day and getting by through chugging Potions finally got the better of him. He had actually returned in the afternoon as even with the sun brightly illuminating the vi he was in and its surroundings, his exhausted mind gradually greeted the darkness! As he went into the folds of sleep, the images of him standing above the beings calling themselves Golden Commanders shed through his mind! --- While Noah rested, the over 50 Subjugated Blessed moved around as normal under the directions they received from the Golden Commander Stephon, none of their colleagues or the Commander above them finding out anything wrong with them! They moved to collect more information on where the remaining Blessed from the Dark Continent would be tonight, as well as keeping track of the movements of the newly arriving Blessed from the Wild Continent. The mission that the Mind Dominator had given them...was to locate all the ways that information left the city, especially the Blessed that were assigned to sending messages back and forth due to their unique Inherent Skills or abilities. These would be the beings Noah wanted to target first! The day passed silently as night dawned, Noah waking up refreshed as he affirmed with his Blessed that everything was followed ordingly. The coordinates of important targets were given to him as he would begin the mission of Subjugating Blessed early this night...with the goal of getting the rest of the 50 SILVER Blessed from the Dark Continent and seeing how his progress would be for the new Blessed from the Wild Continent. The results...were shockingly easy as he came to find when one held a lot of information, they could easily maneuver around undetected! From the Subjugated Blessed, he learned of the habits of the Golden Commander Stephon and how he spent his time, as well as the habits of all the remaining targeted Blessed as with such information...he very easily moved across the City to Subjugate more Silver Ranked beings. To make sure he didn''t alert the 2 GOLD experts within the City, he didn''t utilize his GOLD Unit yet as he stuck to the resourceful Tree Pixie and the Light Guardian that had the skill of [Invisibility]. Groups of 3-5 Blessed that were either just drinking their night away or about to rest very quickly found themselves in Noah''s clutches as his blue eyes were thest things they saw before they became utterly dominated! Noah''s mind was extremely active as even after subjugating the minds of many beings, he had yet to feel a strain as he continued with great vigor. The more beings he had under him, the easier it was for him to move as groups of enemy blessed would find themselves surrounded by 10 beings of the same Rank as them under hismands, very quickly bing mutted and disoriented before Noah swooped in to Subjugate them! In this manner, it actually didn''t take even half the night for the remaining 50 Blessed from the Dark Continent to be located in the City and subjugated under Noah¡­ That was 100 Blessed! ...! In the middle of the night, Noah stood atop one of the skyscrapers as the Tree Pixie floated behind him and the Light Guardian was invisible as it couldn''t even be seen. He came to a stop as he took a deep breath, closing his eyes to focus on his Inherent Skill as he saw the tens of connections he had formed with multiple beings in the city below him! ''It''s possible¡­'' As he saw his shocking progress where he actually took over the minds of over 100 beings in the same rank as him, he questioned the Inherent ability he had and how powerful it was. Others awakened theirs, and such abilities were only as powerful as they themselves made them to be. But his...was just monstrous as what it allowed him to do was just¡­ Maybe because it was a special loot from the tower, maybe there were other reasons. All he cared about now was the fact that with 100 of some of the most powerful beings with the city under his grasp, he knew the fate of the 2 GOLD Blessed within the City was almost sealed! "Find and target the remaining SILVER Blessed from the Wild Continent. Let''s see if we can wrap up this night by adding even more into our ranks¡­" He released multiplemands as he moved in the shadows of the night. Not a single being within the City knew of the shocking events urring, nor could they guess that a terrifying being was taking over a majority of the forces silently within the City! When dawn broke, Noah was only left to wipe the sweat off his brow as with the capability to utilize over 100 Silver Blessed to move under his orders...the Blessed from the Wild Continent never had a chance. There were some idents where some of the injured ones died before Noah could utilize [Subjugate] on them, but the results were exemry as thetter half of the night, he was able to add another 93 Silver Blessed to his roster! This meant that at this moment, 193 Silver Blessed moved from following his orders...a shocking level of power when one truly thought about it. All from the loot of the Idle Gaming System! From the stupendous Tower of Champions and the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift! Noah reminisced how different things were just a few days ago as he overlooked the city, many thoughts crossing his mind as the following hours during the day that just broke...he nned to use them to finish nning and locking the city down with the subordinates he had amassed. He would not attack with brute force even though he had a GOLD Unit that he knew could dominate any human of the same Rank! After he connected to the minds of so many beings and lived through their memories...he knew the most important thing for the Siege he was about toy out would be whether he would be sessful in not letting any news about it spread out. It was the spread of information! "When nightes, lock down all the gates. Not a single being enters or leaves the city. Anyone that tries to do so...kill them on the spot!" RUMBLE! His eyes were filled with a shining blue light as he sent themand to thework of Blessed. He was ready. Tonight, he was ready to face off with 2 GOLD Rank experts! Chapter 61 - Siege The GOLD Experts! I Within City 8, the day passed normally the two powerful GOLD experts had no reason to believe their subordinates werepromised, giving out a fewmands that dealt with overseeing the City and coordinating teams to keep the order. During this time, Noah maintained themand center within the Vi he took over, where he was now talking with Annalise and Rose on what he had nned. "In the night, we will have teams make a perimeter around the city to make sure nobodyes in or out, and the rest will be with us in besieging the GOLD experts¡­" The two girls had solemn expressions as they listened, knowing things were finally getting serious as after today...many things would change! Noah went through an excruciating amount of details as he coordinated with the Subjugated Blessed to make sure nothing went wrong that he didn''t even have time to dive into the Tower, the hours passing by as the darkness of the night would very soon envelop City 8. When this darkness lifted...everything would be different! --- "The glorious Light Continent¡­" A certain Golden Commander from the Wild Continent spat out the words while thinking about thends that kept all the resources of the Ethereal Realm to themselves while leaving nothing for those in other Continents. "Was the Ethereal Emperor truly fair? For him to establish a rule that forces us to remain isted in our Continents withouting in contact with the Dimensional Rifts that belong to all of us?!" ¡­! "With your death...we''ll be sure to take everything that you left behind!" The heart of the Blessed burned with the mes of anger as he thought of the living conditions of many of the people back at home, his gaze that of yearning. "Sir...Commander Stephon sent a message asking for you, apparently it''s important." A silver blessed spoke towards him with respect as the Golden Commander nodded while gazing over the darkening city. "What''s happened now¡­" His expression gradually calmed down as he set off towards the structure of the Golden Phoenix Auction House that Golden Commander Stephon had taken over. At this point, he didn''t have even a clue that the Silver blessed he considered a subordinate...was actually scheming against him! His figure streaked across the sky as he utilized an ability unique to GOLD Blessed- their usage of using their robust Mana to take to the skies! Granted, average GOLD Blessed could only do it for tens of minutes before they were exhausted, but it was still a terrifying ability that showed their power. SHAA! The feet of the Commander touched the roof of the huge skyscraper as he went towards Stephon on the floor right below, this Commander from the Dark Continent rising his head quizzically as he sensed the aura of the only other GOLD expert within the City. "Brother Berserker, what''s happened to bring you to my abode in the dark of the night?" Stephon was finishing looking at a few papers that collected information about the loot they had gained over thest few days, massaging his temples as he asked the iing Blessed from the Wild Continent! "Hmm? What are you on about Stephon, didn''t you call me here?" "Haah?" The two GOLD Blessed looked towards each other with confusion as at this exact moment...something shocking happened. The moment the two men stepped on the same floor together as they were brought to the same location- before any rm bells could be raised in their minds...the dark sky lit up brightly with glimmering golden light! An ability under a certain GOLD Rift Boss that had appeared out of nowhere...smashed onto the floor the two GOLD Blessed were on as a devastating scene yed out. BOOOOM! Scorching golden rays of light descended from the skies as they illuminated the dark streets briefly, these rays raining down with terrifying power as the entire upper floors of the Golden Phoenix Auction House were decimated! It was the ability [Rays of Burning Light] from the GOLD Ranked Congrant Pegasus! WAA! Two brilliant golden lights could be seen on the rubble of the upper floors of the skyscraper, Stephon and the Red Berserker looking up in shock as both of them were actually greatly injured from this sneak attack. "Who¡­?!" Golden Commander Stephon had a wild look as he blurted out, his wordsing to a stop as his eyesnded on a majestic beast pping its wings in the skies! The fantastical creature let out a piercing cry as before the two experts could even gather themselves, its body turned into a sh of light as it rushed towards them. [Instant eleration] was cast! SHAA! The faces of the two GOLD Blessed were ashen as they sensed the terrifying strength of the beast, the Red Berserker calling out in shock as his body lit up with many skills to defend himself. He recalled the aura of a terrifying beast like this! He had met it a few times during his dives across the few GOLD Ranked Dimensional Rifts outside of the Light Continent, but even the ones he came across before didn''t have a terrifying aura as dense as the one he faced now. "A Rift Boss!" RUMBLE! He called out in shock as the Congrant Pegasus arrived in front of them, its sharp wings that had edges sharper than the deadliest des smashing into both of their bodies as they were shot back like cannonballs! BOOM! Their two figures were knocked from the decimated floors of the Skyscraper as they looked like 2 blinking lights that streaked across the skies and into the dark streets of the City, causing craters to form where theynded. "Huk..!" shes of gold light mixed with blood could be seen. With their bodies powerfully in the GOLD Realm, they quickly stood up even though they were heavily injured from thest two attacks! Stephon had huge gashes on his chest from the sharp wings that just hit both of them...while the Red Berserker''s shoulder was nearly torn off. "Commanders!" While rising from the craters and getting ready to fight against the suddenly appearing enemy, they heard the cries of their subordinates as they saw multiple SILVER Blessed flooding from the streets anding towards them. The Red Berserker spat out blood while looking towards the skies to find the terrifying enemy, his voice zing out around them. "Gather together! It''s a GOLD Rank Rift Boss!" RUMBLE! "What?!" The iing Blessed replied with shocked faces as they grouped up around the two experts, getting their wondrously sharp weapons out as their bodies glimmered with light, ready to cast against their enemy! Stephon and the Red Berserker let out sighs of relief as they saw multiple Silver Blessed rush towards them, their injured bodies ncing towards the skies as they kept a lookout for their enemy. Meanwhile around them- beings they considered their allies began to cluster around the both of them for ''protection''! Silver Blessed they knew to be their subordinates...surrounded them to aid them against the terrifying enemy. Oh, what allies these Silver Blessed would turn out to be! Behind their veils of concern and shock as they circled around the two? Gold Blessed, a blue light that subjugated their minds shed and remained hidden in their eyes! Chapter 62 - Siege The GOLD Experts! II In the darkness of the night, amotion had begun in the center of City 8! "Dammit, where the hell did ite from?!" Stephon roared out as two Blessed helped him from the crater he was smashed into, his body bleeding from many angles as he also gavemands to the appearing Silver Blessed around them. "Circle around us, we need you guys to buy some time while we heal and get ready to match it...we''ll also need to send for reinforce-" WAA! Before his words could finish, the figure of the Congrant Pegasus appeared in the skies above them grandly once more, its gold eyes extremely cold as it seemed ready for another attack! "Get ready! Throw everything you have against it, just buy some time!" The bodies of the GOLD Blessed glimmered with light as they cast healing skills on themselves, trying to buy as much time as possible to get back into top shape before they faced the terrifying enemy. But in this hectic moment, they failed to clearly see a few details! Like the fact that the Silver Blesseding to back them had appeared very quickly. The fact that there were tens of them supposedly surrounding them for protection, with each GOLD Blessed having over 20 Silver experts quickly appearing around the area on the ground they smashed into! To them, it was lucky and actually a good thing that their subordinates managed to gather so quickly, their thoughts at this moment only on survival. It was at this moment when the fate of the two GOLD Blessed was decided! "Defend!" At this moment, it felt like time was moving in slow motion as the shouts of the GOLD Blessed reverberated out. The Congrant Pegasus shone lustrously in the skies as its body lit up to seemingly release another skill, two blinking gold lights beneath it looking up with solemn expressions as multiple silver lights surrounded them! From the distance, Noah was watching this shocking scene as he overlooked the whole battle, watching it y out slowly as the Silver Blessed that were ready to release their attacks towards the GOLD Rift Boss in the sky...shockingly turned and aimed their des and skills towards the Golden Commanders they should have been protecting and giving time to heal. SQUELCH! Surrounded by beings they thought to be their closest allies, the two GOLD experts did not have their defenses up against them and instead focused their power above them against the Rift Boss. But soon after,?they shockingly felt Silver Ranked Weapons dig into their bodies, numerous skills from tens of Silver Blessed also smashing into them! BOOM! A horrendous explosion exploded out from the power of skills from tens of Silver Blessed, the Commanders at the Gold Rank actually being dealt the heaviest injuries at this time as their bodies were smashed further into the initial craters, muscles torn and bleeding! ¡­! Stephon''s body was tattered as he barely kept his life by releasing a burst of golden light that drained nearly all of his remaining mana. "This...you¡­GAH!" He looked around him in shock as he spat out blood, barely standing up on his two legs as his eyes saw the cold and expressionless faces of Blessed he knew all his life¡­ THRUM! Above them in the skies, the Congrant Pegasus made its true move as [Rays of Burning Light] was cast again, illuminating the dark skies of the City for thest time! BOOM! --- A sudden sound of horrendous explosions shook the city. Less than a minuteter...it stopped! Very few people would find out exactly what happened on this day...but some watched the show from beginning to the end. Rose, the former 5th Ethereal Princess, was looking at the shocking scene of 2 GOLD Blessed face betrayal from their own forces, their bodies bing riddled with injuries from the force of tens of Blessed! She then watched as the hot rays of light she could feel the temperatures of even where she, Annalise, and Noah stood...she watched as they went on to pierce their injured bodies and nail them to the ground. These were GOLD Rank experts mind you! Powerful beings could take to the skies, being that stood above them and looked at them like bugs just a few days ago. Yet they were now ambushed by a force of nearly 100 Blessed that Noah called to participate, the rest of the Subjugated beings tasked with keeping this area clear of people and overseeing the walls of the city to make sure not a single soul left the City. On top of Light Element GOLD Rift Boss, the 2 experts in this same rank never stood a chance! It was a heart rending scene that was inscribed in the hearts of all that saw it, the scene of two Gold Blessed skewered to the ground with pulsing Light Rays being something Rose would never forget in her life. "Wait here." She was taken out of her stupor as the voice of the man responsible rang out, watching as he walked forward calmly, the ranks of Silver Blessed splitting apart like a tide as he walked to the crater where the two GOLD Blessedy! His eyes shone bright blue as a myriad of thoughts seemed to flow through them, squatting down next to the two beings whose bodies were twitching and bleeding heavily as a Tree Pixie appeared beside him. The creature shone with a glint of green as vines sprouted out to restrict the movements of the beings that could most likely not even be able to lift a muscle, their eyes barely being able to focus as they looked at the being that appeared before them! BOOM! The figure of the Congrant Pegasus alsonded beside Noah as more scorching rays of light descended with it to skewer the limbs of the two Commanders into the ground, utterly breaking the wills of these experts as they nearly lost consciousness. "Wow¡­" Rose could not help but feel her heart speed up as she looked at this scene. A scene of Noah''s cold eyes ncing at beings a rank higher than him as they were mutted from hismands, a scene of him standing above them domineeringly like a king that had nned for and thought of everything! ''It...it should be possible for someone like him¡­'' Her mind worked quickly as she etched the scene into her soul, looking at the domineering and cold figure of Noah as she truly thought it was possible for this being to stand on top of many. For him to wipe out the scourge guing thends of the Ethereal Realm, for him to stand atop even her Older Brother in the Imperial Capital! ''Strength...he has enough of. I need to be of use when ites to utilizing his people and managing thends he will take over in the future!'' ¡­! The former princess was thinking steps ahead as she observed the shocking scene, nning how she could contribute to this being''s grand rise that she was witnessing first hand on this night¡­ --- Noah''s eyes coldly looked towards the mutted GOLD Blessed that could barely breathe in front of him. He didn''t gloat or begin giving any speeches before his goal wasplete, so he sent themand to the Tree Pixie to use its vines and force the bloody heads of the powerful Blessed to face him, his eyes beginning to shine blue as they locked onto the face of the Commander Stephon! "Whoever you are...you won''t get awa-GUH!" The Commander known as Red Berserker by the side seemed to have stronger vitality as even while bleeding with the bones in his body shattered, he tried to muster a light of gold to cover his body and speak- but the Congrant Pegasus merely thundered down more scorching rays of light onto his body as he was pushed further into the ground. Noah kept his eyes locked to the much more heavily injured Stephon as he cast Subjugate while speaking out slowly. "Just give me a few seconds to get to you." THRUM! Stephon, this powerful being that could take to the skies and look upon Noah like a bug just a few days ago...this being now locked eyes with the same being as hey battered and broken! Ambushed by a shockingly powerful Rift Boss and then facing the surprise attacks of multiple Blessed he thought to be his allies...the being was in dire straits as he fit the conditions for Noah''s [Subjugate] ability! It was someone of the higher rank though, so bringing them under hismand was all the more difficult, and it was why Noah had mutted the GOLD Ranked Blessed as much as he did. As Stephon''s eyes locked with Noah, his body began to tremble as his mind was resisting the enticing Blue lighting from Noah! SQUELCH! Yet Noah''s only response to this was summoning a Silver Rank Sword from his Inventory and stabbing it into the chest of this being while twisting the sharp de around. "It''s okay." SQUELCH! The lungs were punctured as Stephon could barely breathe, Noah''s eyes shining even brighter as he felt his energy leaving him in droves while keeping [Subjugate] active to try and bring this GOLD Blessed into his fold! OOOM! His left hand grabbed onto the bloody head of Stephon as his weapon sank multiple times into the already mutted body, his eyes shining their brightest as finally, Stephon''s dark eyes were now reced with a hint of blue! RUMBLE! A hint of blue that meant the subjugation of a GOLD Expert! Chapter 63 - A City Beneath My Feet! ¡­! The body of Stephon slumped to the ground as the Entangling Vines receded from him, multiple Resplendent Heals descending unto him a secondter as his mutted body began to twitch and heal. Noah watched the scene calmly as he waved his hands to bring forth a Mana Potion and drink it, his eyes turning to the GOLD Commander known as the Red Berserker! "You...Argh!" Every time he tried to muster any words or strength, the scorching rays of light called down by the Congrant Pegasus would smash into him as there didn''t seem to be a bone in his body that wasn''t broken. Noah came towards the remaining GOLD Blessed as the tens of Silver Blessed in the surroundings hid the scene within the crater, making sure that no beings would bear witness to the events urring at this moment. "Thank you for waiting." Noah came in front of the Red Berserker with cold eyes as after refilling his mana reserves, he repeated exactly what he had done with Stephon! This juncture was the first time that Noah began to feel his head pounding from immense pain as he took over the minds of 2 Blessed a Rank higher than him, feeling like his brain was splitting apart in the process as he persevered. Less than a minuteter, the body of another GOLD Blessed slumped to the ground as Resplendent Heals washed over his body! "..." Noah stared at this scene silently as at this moment, he had sessfully managed to achieve his goal, and two of the most powerfulbatants of the Cityy before him...as beings he could freelymand! He rubbed his aching temples as a sense of profound aplishment washed over him, but still keeping his vignce until this night fully ended as he began to give outmands. "Clear the scenes of battle and don''t let anyone near. The excuse will be rebelling Blessed that will be taken care of!" RUMBLE! His shockingmands reached the minds of the many silver blessed as they began to move out in the dark of the night. Within the crater, a few remained behind as Noah squatted down while looking at the two GOLD Blessed painfully healing on the ground. "So, let''s see your memories, shall we?" ¡­! --- The shocking explosions and terrifying aura that appeared within City 8 disappeared just as quickly as they came. The Bronze Blessed from the Dark and Wild Continents that had woken to see what was wrong were held back by the SILVER Superiors, nobody being able to grasp what exactly had happened in the block where the Golden Phoenix Auction House was! The walls of the City were reinforced as not a single being was let in or out, a tight lock down being put in ce upon the city as the Silver Blessed moving about told those below them that some beings had tried to rebel, the whole City needing to be ced on lockdown until they were all caught. This would be the truth that many beings would know and believe for some time! But Noah had managed to achieve his goals as he was able to Subjugate 2 GOLD Blessed under him and keep all the information about it hidden from others, nobody being the wiser on who was truly standing atop this City at this moment. It actually was not under the influence of any of the warring Continents...a new being rising up as he now held an entire city beneath his feet, controlling all the powerful Blessed within it! What a wondrous feat to achieve in a matter of days! --- Hours passed as the chaos receded and calmness descended, a lot of activity still urring throughout the city as Squadrons of Silver Blessed moved while leading Bronze teams in the night. In the block where the Golden Phoenix Auction House was, the area that was entirely blocked off from the gazes of any Blessed- Noah was sitting on a couch within the first floor of the empty Auction House as he stared at the kneeling figures of two Gold Blessed. "The Dark King¡­" He uttered out the name of the powerful being whose authority was used to take over the past Academy City and start the war, the memories he gained about this being and the secrets about the upper ranks of Blessed from the two Continents being extremely bountiful and shocking! Using [Mind Connection], Noah was able to learn a great deal of information that he knew he would need days to simply iste all of and n ordingly. It was information about the shocking Ruler that found out about the death of the Ethereal Emperor, the information of the being that created the armies that wereing to ravage the Light Continent at this moment...information from Commanders of this army that would prove extremely deadly for the days toe! "Master, the other subjugated Cities are¡­" Stephon talked freely as Noah listened, Annalise and Rose behind him taking notes as they learned exactly what was going on in the darkness of the Ethereal Realm. After some time, Noah waved his hands and gave tasks for what the two Gold Rank experts needed to do for the next few hours, remaining with Annalise and Rose as he looked towards them with shining eyes! Annalise was looking towards her brother with pride as Rose looked on with a sense of wonder. "We have powerful enemies around us and the Imperial Capital in front of us, you two are ready for what is toe?" Noah spoke calmly while gazing at the girls that adopted strong expressions while nodding! Rose was the first to speak up as the regality of a princess showed itself on her face. Her silver hair was not dyed anymore as it fell down her shoulders, many of the fears she had being wiped away with today''s events! "We have already started on the path, so we will continue. I know you have a lot of things on your te with the dangerous Rifts only you can ess...so I ask that you please let us be of use in managing this City." Rose had a firm expression as she said this, Annalise nodding by her side as she spoke out as well. "Don''t put everything on your shoulders brother, let us help!" The two girls saw how much time and effort Noah was putting in as they wanted to be of help! At this scene, Noah felt his heart warm up as he nodded while replying lightly. "We''ll need to oversee the status of the city, the transfer of Rift Resources that they were sending back to their continents...and lock down any knowledge of ourselves as we won''t step onto the stage for now. I''ll have to leave you guys with a lot of work!" Noah was nning many things in his mind as he sorted out the clusters of information, knowing that rising in power in the shadows was a must for him at this moment as he couldn''t juste out and start dering that he had retaken Academy City. This was because they were effectively in the middle of enemy territory, one of the more terrifying things he had found out being the fact that multiple battalions from the Dark and Wild Continent had already gone past the 10 Subjugated Cities of the Light Continent, their des aimed deeper into the Light Continent as they wanted to expand! "Even as we rise while surrounded by enemies...it does mean we cannot stop! The goal will now be to create a thorough base of information in this city as we find out all we can about the forces around us and the other subjugated Cities. We''ll make our way towards them as we retake them from the enemies until we can finally point our swords to...the Dark and Wild Continents!" RUMBLE! Noah''s eyes glowed brightly as for him, the battle of dominion had just begun! --- Far away from the Academy City, within the Imperial Capital. The being that had centralized his power after the passing of his father for so many years was situated upon a luminous and extravagant throne as he listened to the information of multiple Gold Blessed bowing respectfully towards him. "Sire, we have affirmed that some of the forces of the Wild Continent are colluding with the Dark King, with many airships and battalions spotted moving past the outer perimeters of the Continent. The 10 fallen Cities...can now be considered part of the Dark Continent." ¡­! A shocking reality was affirmed as the former Crown Prince nodded. With a gaze filled with regality and majesty, he spoke out. "Move out the prepared battalions. Show these fools that they cannot make another step into this Continent." THRUM! Energy fluctuations erupted with his words as the Golden Commanders in front of him nodded, the tides of war in full swing as after a few days, a bloody battle between the three Continents was about to erupt. Neither of the powerful moving forces knew that in an insignificant City, yet another contender for the Dimensional Rifts and influence they were fighting for had risen! Chapter 64 - The One Ruling In The Shadows Outside of the walls of Academy City. On the marble road that had one of the entrances into the walled city, there was a cluster of transport carriages that were being filled with Equipment and Cores being hauled out from the city. "Brother Derek, I envy that you guys just get to oversee the operations of a city. We have to join the major battalions that are pushing further into the Light Continent soon!" Under the light of the beautiful rays of the sun, a Silver Blessed from the Dark Continent spoke to a being he knew for years- A silver Blessed from Academy City that was in charge of transporting the Resources they collected from the Rifts of the City to be handed off to the forces of the Dark Continent! The one known as Brother Derek was actually Number 87- just another being that was under Noah''s mind domination. Number 87 smiled towards the Blessed as he saw the resources were all ced into the carriages and they were ready to set off. "Being within the City isn''t as easy and fun as you would expect, much of it is just boring work!" The Blessed from the Dark Continent rolled his eyes as he peered through the sliver of the open gate to see the inside of the city, shaking his head as he gave amand to the forces taking care of the transport. "Let''s set off! We have to pass by two other Cities before docking everything into the airship¡­" The Resource Transport began to move out, the gates of Academy City slowly closing as Noah watched all this from a distance! The task of taking over a city silently had been sessful, where even the transport of Loot Resources had been taken care of without an issue or raising any red gs from their enemies. To them, they were talking to and doing business with the same beings they knew over the years! ''Good. Then there is the situation of the city itself¡­" Noah thought of this as he turned his head towards the center of the City where the aura of Golden Commander Stephon shot out majestically as soon as the Resource Transport left the gates of the City. "Gather and heed a new Edict that has been passed down!" RUMBLE! The words of the Subjugated Golden Commander rang throughout the city as many beings were brought to attention, his figure gloriously floating in the skies of the City as the Silver Blessed lined up powerfully below him. The people throughout the City raised their heads to the skies as resonant words rang out. "The Dark King is truly wise, passing out the Edict that everyone within the Subjugated Cities must act like brothers in arms, working together for a brighter future!" ¡­! "If this Edict is broken...it does not matter what Continent you call your home as you will be executed on the spot." RUMBLE! rm and confusion crossed the minds of the thousands of Bronze Blessed from the Dark and Wild Continent, while shock passed through the minds of the locals of Academy City! This was because such a deration effectively meant all the injustice and bullying they faced from the Blessed of the Dark and Wild Continents woulde to a stop, and they didn''t understand why the stance of the powerful Golden Commander in the skies would change so quickly. "You all hear that?!" From another direction in the skies, the even more oppressive Red Berserker shone with a glint of gold as his eyes coldly looked down at the forces from the Wild Continent. "I better see everyone within the City working together with no conflicts. Otherwise, we will soon be seeing Blessed being made examples of!" ¡­! The words of a second GOLD Expert cemented the new Edict, as well as show how serious they were if it was broken. The eyes of Golden Commander Stephon zed with a hidden blue light as he finished. "Go forth and raise your strength, the Silver Blessed below me will monitor everything closely!" RUMBLE! His figure disappeared from the skies as he left the masses of the city with a myriad of emotions, nobody within being the wiser about the change in power! The city was still locked down as nobody could enter or leave, with information heavily restricted as life within seemed to settle to a new normal. Annalise was discussing with Rose after they saw the scene of Golden Commander Stephon finish, their eyes turning towards Noah''s figure that appeared in front of them secondster. The three of them still remained in the first Vi they took over as it continued to be the base of operations. Seeing Noah''s figure, the girls smiled as Rose was the first to speak. "With the first Edict and Blessed constantly running on watch to oversee it, we''re heading in the right direction!" Rose had been the one to propose that they raise multiple Edicts to change the situation around the City, Noah agreeing toy them out in phases as today''s Edict was to ensure no more injustice or war crimes would y out within Academy City. "We''ll draft the new Edicts as we see how things go...but it seems like we can slowly grow our power even as the forces from the Wild and Dark Continents are still around us!" Noah gave a smile at Rose''s words as he sat down while letting out an exhausted sigh. A secondter, a sh of gold bloomed in front of them as the two Golden Commanders that were just in the skies appeared. Their eyes were locked onto Noah as they fell to their knees on a shocking scene that would scare anyone who saw it! "Master, everything is proceeding with no issues." The bowing experts didn''t feel an ounce of shame as they looked reverently towards Noah, who only nced at them as he spoke while looking at the list of Edicts that Rose and Annalise had devised, as well as the ones he had in mind himself. "By tomorrow, be ready to demolish the current army ranks from the Dark and Wild Continent. Another Edict will be passed for the formation of a new army that all capable Blessed within the City can join. For those that join¡­" THRUM! Noah waved his hands as hundreds of Iron, Bronze, and Silver [Equipment] and [Skill Books] sprawled out in front of him! "...Powerful skills and equipment wait for them." ¡­! Even the girls had their eyes sharply open at Noah''s domineering wave of a hand to cause treasures more than 10 times what the City gave for today''s Resource Collection to appear in front of them. The two Subjugated GOLD Blessed only looked towards Noah more reverently as they nodded. The innumerable amount of Loot that Noah had just brought out were of course just a portion among the shocking amount that he gained in the past two days of collecting the Loot Resources from the Rifts that were still running in Idle Mode! The boxed Rifts were glimmering gold when he entered the Idle Gaming System Interface to im them a few hours ago, giving him Loot that would make others drool. But to him, it still wasn''t enough as his main focus at this moment was the Idle Exp. He stared at the abysmal 8,245/100,000 Idle Exp as he wanted this number to increase even faster, knowing that the rate his strength grew would only be more and more explosive as he unlocked more of the System! Thest unlocks gave him the wondrous Tower of Champions and then the Shattered nes Rifts, and he was eager to know what else the System had in store. For this...he would use his time wisely as he navigated how to move in the middle of enemy territory while gradually expanding his influence. He came out of his thoughts as he spoke towards Annalise and Rose. "Tonight, we''ll take the GOLD Blessed and dive into all the Rifts within the City again to achieve an event faster clear time. Coordinate with those in charge of the Rift Encampments to have them cleared out when we head over¡­" Noah''s words resounded out as the two girls and kneeling Blessed nodded, ns being made for an even faster clear time of Rifts that would increase the rate he gained loot and reduce the days before the next System upgrade! "Also, we need to collect the information on how many Rifts there are in the nearby subjugated Cities...this will guide on which city we expand our influence to next¡­" A myriad of ns were made and carried out as Noah moved efficiently, the lesson of how many things could change in a short period of time still very clear in his mind! After the nning and discussion session with Rose and Annalise ended with the two girls moving to take care of many things within the City with the GOLD Blessed and tens of Silver ready to follow their orders, Noah himself disappeared from the Vi as he reappeared in the Waiting Room where he could ess the Tower of Champions and the Shattered Rift nes. RUMBLE! It was time to ascend the Tower and break his own shackles at the Silver Rank! Chapter 65 - GOLD I Noah nced at the floors of the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Elemental Rifts as a myriad of thoughts crossed through his mind. The most important one and the one that he had been focusing on the most was...how different he waspared to everyone else in this Ethereal Realm! Of course, this difference came in terms of how rapidly one could advance through the Realms of Power. There was Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and tinum for the Ranks...as he had already torn through the first three as he could now enter GOLD within the next few hours as long as he climbed a few floors of the Tower and faced the GOLD Rift Boss of the 50th floor! For the rewards of the Floor, he could already see that among them were [+5 GOLD Rank Cores] and even another [INHERENT Skill Book], simr to how he got such a book on the 25th Floor. He didn''t know how many more floors he would have to clear before he achieved the DIAMOND Rank and then PLATINUM, but he knew that if he spent a majority of his time in the Tower of Champions, he could achieve this in a matter of weeks! This was how different he was to the natives of the Ethereal Realm with his Idle Gaming System! They had to fight over the resources of Dimensional Rifts, where a bloody war had broken out just because a Ruler of one region wanted to get his hands on the ess of a Diamond Rift that held loot which helped the past Ethereal Emperor cross over into the next Rank and be the strongest being. With his ess to the Tower and Shattered Elemental Rifts...he had the chance to obtain an endless supply of loot as long as he continued to climb higher! After a few tens of floors of the Tower, he would encounter DIAMOND Ranked Dimensional Beasts. Above the 100th floor, or even before that, who was to say he wouldn''te across creatures at the tinum Level? That was how ridiculous his Idle Gaming System was, where his rate of growth could actually be exponential! He wouldn''t have a blockage or slow down as he rose in strength, and it might even allow for him to rise through the ranks faster! The only thing he had to pay attention to for his strength...was his Units. They had been the forefront reason for his rapid rise in strength, where he considered the [Upgrade Crystals] Loot one of the most important resources aside from Cores. With the Upgrade Crystals to fuse two units of one Rank into another...such a ridiculous feature was the main reason he was rising so fast in strength. It is what gave him the Silver Units that gave him the power to Subjugate the Silver Blessed of Academy City, and also what allowed him to very quickly get the GOLD Unit that allowed him to decimate the fighting strength of two GOLD Blessed! When his thoughts reached this juncture, his eyes shone with brilliant light as he knew...he could have this whole Realm in the palm of his hands in just a matter of weeks or months! As long as he continued his rate of progression¡­ RUMBLE He waved his hands to call forth the Congrant Pegasus and his other units as his cold voice rang out. "When I achieve GOLD, what''s to stop me from going to every Subjugated City and putting their Golden Commanders under me?" OOOM! "When I reach DIAMOND, the Rank that the top experts within this Realm have...what''s what''s stop me from taking a Party of DIAMOND Rift Bosses and decimating the so called Dark King and his forces?!" RUMBLE! His voice reverberated across the Waiting Room as his eyes shone with eyes that seemed to want to devour everything. The light died down as he began to make steady steps towards the Tower. His heart became calm as he knew the moment he achieved the power he was calcting he would achieve...he would flip the whole board that the Blessed of the Ethereal Realm were ying on! --- As Noah realized his terrifying potential and entered the Tower of Champions, a sh urred between the forces of the three warring Continents! In a region known as Wandering ins that was filled with long stretches of Valleys surrounded by mountains, the normally clear skies were cloudy as the verdant greenery was trampled by the boots of tens of thousands of Blessed. The alliance of forces from the Dark and Wild Continents made their way deeper into the Light Continent,ing face to face with battalions that zed with fighting spirit as they came in contact at the center of the Wandering ins. OOOOH! Bellows and shouts rang out from both sides as thousands of Bronze Blessed shed on this expansive battlefield, led by hundreds of Silver Blessed at the forefront as the Golden Commanders took to the skies to face each other. What proceeded to happen after this sh at the Wandering ns was immense bloodshed that hadn''t been seen in the Ethereal Realm for years! The truth of the Light Continent having many more Rifts of greater variety was disyed as the Battalions from the Imperial Capital were adorned with powerful Equipment. Their bodies brimmed with power as terrifying skills flew to decimate their enemies, the Battalions from the other two Continents only being able to keep them at bay because of theirbined forces! Golden Commanders led the forces on both sides as at this moment, neither side utilized their DIAMOND experts that could overpower entire Battalions by themselves. It wasn''t time for such a thing yet! But this caused for there to be no victor, the battle only bing prolonged as the forces of the Wild and Dark Continent were not able to advance forward, while the Battalions of the Light Continent could not push them back. A stalemate had urred! Chapter 66 - GOLD II Far from the Wandering ins where a deadlock had urred, deep in the heart of the Dark Continent. In a glorious castle that was fit to win apetition for how menacing and majestic a castle could be, a shocking meeting was urring in the Halls where only the King and his trusted aides could step into. As we are in the Dark Continent, the Ruler was naturally the being that termed himself the Dark King, the expression of this being cloudy as he spoke while looking into a mirror that showed the scenes of the battle at the Wandering ins! "This deadlock might continue for a few days, but if we sacrifice more Blessed...we should be able to break through and take over the Cities that have GOLD Rifts within them." RUMBLE! Shocking words left the Dark King''s mouth as beside him, a shining red Communication Medallion reverberated with a voice from thousands of miles away. "You may be ok with sacrificing so many of your subjects...but not I!" The voice was gruff and Wild,ing from the being that had risen in power until the Warlords of the Wild Continent came together under his banner- it was the Ruler of the Wild Continent. "Then how should we proceed, Alexander?" The Dark King''s eyes had no emotions as he spoke, seeking a reply from his ally that waited an entire minute before his voice came out from the medallion. "If the situation doesn''t change in 3 days...I will send forth a DIAMOND Warlord to take control of the situation." ¡­! A sharp light crossed the Dark King''s eyes when he heard these words from the medallion, a devilish smile appearing on his face as his voice only came out ndly in a reply. "We shall wait and see then!" RUMBLE! Two Rulers continued to gather information and watching how things were ying out in the Wandering ins as in an entirely different spatial area, a being they had no knowledge about but woulde in contact with soon enough- this being was going through the floors of the Tower of Champions with purpose! WAA! The DPS of the Gold Rank Congrant Pegasus was so dominating that the beasts they came across in the frozenndscapes of the past levels were decimated with ease. As every Dimensional Beast had been at the Silver level on the past floors, they finished up to the 49th with ease as they were currently staring down at the boss they had to defeat on the 50th floor! Simr to the 25th, this floor seemed to be a major jump in power and significance as their enemy was a single Rift Boss- but one that was in the GOLD Rank. It was the first GOLD creature Noah came across in the Tower, this creature being a genuine Ice Drake! ROAAAR! It released a wondrous bellow of power as it shed with the Congrant Pegasus in a show of power. Noah was standing on top of the shoulders of the Flesh Giant, his hands drawn on the Silver Light Bow where he shot out arrows towards the eyes of the Ice Drake. The majorbatant was the Congrant Pegasus, gorgeous Scorching Light Rays raining down and slowly piercing the thick skin of the Ice Drake as a Rift Boss of lower Element could not so easily defeat one of a higher element¡­ This also reinforced in Noah''s mind the need to continue the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rifts as soon as he finished the 50th floor of the Tower and obtained the rewards he wanted. This was because only a day remained for the Light ne Dimensional Rifts before they were changed into another element! ROAAR! The roars of the Ice Drake in front of him gradually got weaker as it was facing a much higher tier Beast than it while being grouped on by multiple Silver Rift Bosses. In no time... its enormous body mmed onto the frozen ice caps as the bodies of Noah and his Units appeared in the Waiting Room, Noah''s eyes glimmering brightly as he saw the rewards listed in front of him. [Rewards for clearing the 50th Floor] :: [+10,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+1000 Random Bronze Equipment], [+100,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+1000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+100 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+50,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Health Potions], [+100 Mana Potions], [+100 Defense Potions], [+100 Attack Potions], [+1 INHERENT Skill Book], [+1 Random GOLD Equipment], [+5 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards] "..." It was the glorious disy of loot only meant for the greatest Champions! There were truly too many things to go through, where Noah isted the most important things to be the SILVER Upgrade Crystals that contributed to him obtaining another GOLD Blessed soon, the +25 GOLD Unit Shards that he needed another 75 of for another Gold Unit, the INHERENT Skill Book...and the GOLD Cores. From these, he entered his Inventory as he took out the Gold Cores! Ever since he had dominated the minds of the 2 GOLD Blessed, his mind felt a constant pressure as he wasn''t able to add any more Subjugated Blessed to his ranks. He needed to personally upgrade his own strength to solve this, so he sat down and began absorbing the GOLD Cores as the first thing! The Cores looked like luminous gold crystals whose light sank into his palm until they turned dim, Noah going through 3 of them before his body began to tremble with power. BZZZT! Golden sparks began to erupt on his body as his figure shockingly floated and sank back into the ground! When he absorbed the 4th core, a glimmer of wondrous gold light swam around his body as he fully lifted off the ground, his hand already grasping onto the 5th core as with it, he felt like he broke heavy shackles that bound him and flew to the skies! WAA! A wondrous golden aura raged around his body like a storm, his blue eyes opening as his dark hair whipped around gloriously. GOLD was achieved! Chapter 67 - A Ridiculous Growth Rate! I 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! ||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]... 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]! [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. "..." 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! ||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]... 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! [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. [Mental Field] :: The user can create a field of mental energy around their body to protect from both Physical and Elemental damage. [Telekic Energy Emission] :: The disastrous energy of the Telekic Emperor can be released outward to Attack. 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! Chapter 68 - A Ridiculous Growth Rate! II The next 24 hours were extremely busy as Noah worked with utter efficiency to clear the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rifts while dividing his attention for the future ns. Of the tens of Subjugated Silver Blessed, many were sent outside of the city to act as eyes and ears. Of thends that could now be considered part of the Dark Continent, the former Academy City was located tens of miles ind! There were 9 other Subjugated Cities located tens of miles away from each other, with the forces of the Dark and Wild Continent officially considering them their own as they had already set up the system of resource collection and allocation to increase the might of their forces. Noah''s Silver Blessed were tasked with leaving the city and watching which areas the forces of the two continents were moving across, as well as the status of other nearby cities and whichmanders dwelled within them! This allowed them to have a clear idea of what was happening around them, while also learning of the bloody battle taking ce in the Wandering ins far from Academy City from the Golden Commander Stephon who continued to get regr updates because of his role. The knowledge of the bloody wars only made Noah delve into the rare Rift with more vigor as he tore through their floors, intent on collecting as much loot as possible before he moved out. He was already standing on the 20th at this moment as the Light Element beasts he faced increased in variety and power, and the loot he gained was just as wondrous as he got himself enough Light Unit Shards to summon 5 more units of this rare element! It was actually another 2 Silver Light Guardians- the same one that came from him fusing the 2 Light Elementals. As the Light Guardian was extremely deadly with his Invisibility skill and had boisterous defensive abilities, Noah already knew which Unit was getting fused next. All he needed was a thousand more Silver Upgrade Crystals...which he would be receiving as soon as the 20th Floor GOLD Rift Boss of the Light ne Rift was defeated! ROAAAR! A heart shaking roar was released from the much more powerful Rift Boss of the Light Element, the one they fought being a Sun Golem. Terrifying defensive abilities backed out with its heavy attacks forced Noah to run around it in circles as his Congrant Pegasus wore down its defenses with his other units backing him up. As for Noah himself, he was routinely utilizing the abilities of a ||Telekic Emperor|| as he found he could even restrict the movements of the Rift Boss for 2 seconds before its overwhelming force broke through his mental energy! But this 2 second help he could provide every now and then caused the battle to go much smoother, the powerful Light Rift Boss of the Floor being taken down after another hour. "Sheesh¡­" Noah let out a tired sigh as a few hours had passed since he returned to climbing the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rifts, this 20th Floor with a GOLD Rift Boss giving him thest Upgrade Crystals he needed for another Gold Unit, along with his first +25 GOLD Unit Shards along with +100 Silver Shards for another Light Unit! As he was teleported into the waiting room and the [1 Hour and 23 Minutes Remaining] in front of the Light ne Dimensional Rift, he knew he would not be able to utilize the 25 GOLD Unit Shards for a while as when the timer finished and another High Tier Element Rift reced the current one, he didn''t know when he woulde across it again. But from it, he obtained a total of 6 Silver Light Units, and over 11 Bronze ones that he could fuse! After the fusion of the Bronze ones, it meant he had obtained a total of 11 Silver Light Units that he could fuse to make his team be a full set of GOLD Light Units in the future¡­ Such a terrifying thought made his blood boil as he focused on the ones he could currently make! His tired eyes summoned the two Light Guardians as the Silver Upgrade Crystals were pumped into them, a wondrous congregation of lights ying out as usual, followed by a prompt that Noah agreed to and finally...the fusion of a new GOLD Unit. RUMBLE! With a burst of light, Noah''s sharp eyes found themselves staring at...a glorious set of armor and golden battle axes moving by themselves! [Animated Light Equipment Guardian] :: A rare animated moving armor and weapon creature whose only purpose is to follow the orders of its master. It''s abilities include [Invisibility], [Golden Shield], [Light of Dawn], and [Equipment Mode]. A gorgeous new GOLD Unit appeared in front of him, this one having a 4 meter tall Golden armor and battle axes as its body, golden energy moving through the gaps as it connected everything together! The wondrous Invisibility skill was retained as [Golden Light] was a defensive skill that released an enormous illusory golden shield to block enemy attacks. Meanwhile, Light of Dawn was actually an AOE Healing ability that healed everyone in a certain area! But the most stupendous ability from this new Light Unit was thest one. [Equipment Mode] :: The Animated Light Equipment Guardian is granted the highest honor of fusing with its Master, bing a glorious set of Armor and Weapons adorned on its Master as all of its strength is given. +150% Increased Attack and Defense in this state. ¡­! A skill that allowed the Animated Light Equipment Guardian to actually be a set of armor and weapons on his body...where he could reinforce himself with the strength of a Rift Boss thereafter! "Good!" He couldn''t help but shout out at such an unexpected and powerful skill, a smileing upon his face as he nced at the remaining Silver Light Unit Shards and already summoned Silver Light Units that came out to 9, excited to see what the 4 GOLD Unitsing out from them would be whenever he got his hands on enough Upgrade Crystals. RUMBLE! He nced at the Shattered Light ne Dimensional Rift onest time as he gave themand to leave the waiting room, heading back into Academy City as there were a great deal of things for him to do! First was the reduction of the clear times of the Dimensional Rifts...and then he would set off to the nearby City 9 to carry out the ns he had been discussing with Annalise and Rose in the past few hours! "Berserker, Stephon!" He sentmands to the 2 GOLD Units as they were ready to go, a party of them, Noah, and the two girls moving silently in the night towards the Encampments of the Rifts that were already isted for them alone. Those hoping to dive into the rifts this time during the night would all be turned back as they were exclusively reserved for the beings that were the true power behind Academy City! The girls wanted to let off some steam and continue training themselves while also watching just how much stronger Noah had grown, their eyes only bing filled with shock when they saw his new GOLD Unit and him disying the terrifying abilities of ||Telekic Emperor||. In the Iron Rifts, Noah''s [Telekic Energy Emission] released tendrils of blue light that smashed onto the heads of the iron creatures and caused them to burst into brain matter with ease! Along with the 2 GOLD Units and 2 GOLD Blessed, they tore through the Iron Rifts as the average clear time for all 3 Rifts...came down to 5 Minutes. 5 Minutes! The same shocking reality yed itself as they delved into the 3 Bronze Rifts, the ridiculous power that Noah and his Units disyed on top of the Blessed with them allowing the average clear time for these Rifts to be reduced down to 8 minutes! Much of this time was spent wading through the Rifts as any Dimensional Beasts they came across were decimated in a single shot. It was a shocking scene to experience as just a few days ago, these same Rifts had taken Noah an hour or 30 minutes to clear, but now he was going through them as if they were nothing! What a shocking rate of progression! What a wondrous Idle Gaming System that made it all possible! RUMBLE! The boss of the Silver Rift fell as thisst Rift was cleared in 11 minutes, the clear times of the Rifts within Academy City being brought down by a shocking amount as the Idle Exp and Idle Resources Noah could receive was about to explode. The true overpowered nature of the Idle Gaming System...would soon start to disy itself as the reality of hundreds of thousands of Cores, items, and skill books that would pile up to millions soon enough began! Chapter 69 - A Hidden Ruler Stretches His Influence! I After he finished his mission of heavily reducing the clear time of the Rifts within Academy City, Noah turned his sight beyond the walls of the city, across the ins where other Cities that were now under the influence of the Dark and Wild Continentsy. He was currently sitting on top of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Academy City, looking at this fantastical metropolis below him that was going in an entirely different direction because of his actions. He thought of the parents he had when he transmigrated into this new Realm, and thought of his sister who was thest of his family, as well as the princess everyone thought to be dead! With his recent actions and what he had nned, he was setting all of them onto a path they had to keep going down in, a path filled with blood where Noah soughtplete security and freedom at the end of it. He didn''t want for his life or for the lives of those he cared about to be even capable of being threatened by others, and he never wanted to feel the powerlessness of leaving his fate onto the hands of a stronger being! This was the reason why continued to get stronger, wanting to make himself the highest authority so that nobody could stand above him and look down upon him like a bug ever again! Many thoughts crossed his mind as his blue eyes were extremely mesmerizing to look at in the night, his heavy thoughts unconsciously releasing his mental energy as the tendrils of blue light that were the Telekic Energy Emissions lit up his figure on top of the skyscraper. "A city under my control now, and next up is multiple cities¡­" He uttered these words softly as he thought of the ns that he and the girls talked about as they moved around thest few hours. For everything he wanted to do, he needed power. At this moment...he had more than enough power for the task ahead so he steeled his resolve as from the edge of the skyscraper, his body jumped off towards the dark city below him! THRUM! A sh of gold color covered him while he fell, his body beginning to levitate in the air, closing his eyes as he enjoyed this wondrous feeling of being in the skies. Then this gold color faded away under hismand, his body free-falling again as it came to a stop a secondter, levitating once more! But this time, it was due to him controlling his body with the [Matter Maniption] of the Telekic Emperor. There was only a hit of blue energy covering his body as a smile unconsciously floated on his face while enjoying the wondrous skills he could only ess in this new world. "So be it!" With firm words being released from him, his figure silently flew across the skies of the city, going towards its walls as he very soon passed over them...and left the City for the first time since his arrival in the Ethereal Realm! Not too long after, a sh of light took to the skies as it went towards the same direction as him, this being the Golden Commander Stephon that Noah would be taking him on the mission for tonight. Deep within the City, in a certain vi. Rose and Annalise watched Stephon''s figure flying out as the other Golden Commander of the City was beside them, the body of the Red Berserker talking in a calm tone. "Our ns are sound. You girls just wait for the good news and prepare to handle managing even more Cities. If everything goes ording to n, it will soon enough be a continent¡­" ¡­! Shocking words were released from the GOLD Blessed through Noah who spoke with Remote Control, the girls adopting extremely serious expressions as they nodded. --- Outside the walls of Academy City, Noah enjoyed the feeling of crossing the skies as the windy air was extremelyfortable. Stephon''s figure was flying right beside him silently as this subjugated being would asionally give a reverential look towards his master that was flying without using his gold energy! After a few minutes, Noah opened his eyes from the enjoyment of flying himself as he waved his hands to call forth a Unit. WAA! A golden sh of lightter, and the glorious Congrant Pegasus appeared as he and Stephonfortably boarded it. "Towards City 9 we go." Noah''s words rang out as they were soon drowned out by the shocking speed of the Rift Boss that had begun to shoot across the skies like a bullet train, their direction being towards a subjugated City that had 2 Gold Blessed looking over simr to Academy City! It was only a bit over 12 miles away, so Noah was able to arrive there in no time while on the back on the wondrous Gold Rift Boss. They arrived while traveling in the skies as a City appeared below them soon enough, Noah being able to see the twinkling lights that represented a busy nightlife. City 9 was known to be lo City in the past, a huge City where more experienced Blessed flocked to due to its abundance of Bronze Rifts! Within the City, there were actually 8 Bronze Rifts and only 2 Iron and a single silver one. It was famous due to its overabundance of Bronze Rifts with different varieties, many resources being able to be obtained here. Many thoughts crossed Noah''s mind as he gave amand to the Golden Commander beside him. "You''re up." RUMBLE! Stephon followed themand immediately as his body shone bright gold, going towards the city like a twinkling star as he would be able to be seen by anyone there! --- Within City 9, there were 2 GOLD Blessed overseeing it, these powerful experts living grandly at the center of the bustling city that held most of the riches and Rifts. On this particr night, both of the goldenmanders felt a powerful aura of a Gold Blessed appear in the skies, leaving whatever they were doing behind as they shot forth from the Vis they were staying in. "Who?!" The Golden Commander from the Dark Continent had a serious expression as he shouted out while getting ready for battle, knowing the appearance of a GOLD expert this time of the night was a bad sign! Yet before his body could explode with powerful offensive skills, he saw the ashen expression of a Blessed he knew being the one gloriously showing his aura in the skies! "Stephon?!" The Blessed from the Dark Continent looked forward in shock as Stephon came towards him and the other Gold expert from the wild continent, his expression serious as he was talking before he even arrived. "Brother Rickat! An emergency has urred in the city I''m looking over, and I had to fly to the nearest ce I could find help. Please,e in haste!" After saying these words with an earnest and panicked expression, Stephon shot back into the skies towards the direction of Academy City as the Blessed called Rickat could only look forward exasperatedly. Couldn''t he give more information before flying out?! "Commander Oden, please help me oversee things here, I''ll go see what''s up." Rickat spoke towards the Gold Blessed from the Wild Continent who looked at this scene with confusion, his body already following the trail of Stephon as two gold lights left the city. The Commander from the Wild Continent only watched this scene carefully before he returned into the city! --- In the dark skies, Rickat''s body flew out at high speeds as he chased after Stephon, his voice constantly ringing out to call this being. Yet Stephon had a look of haste as he continued to rush out, the figures of these two beings flying an entire mile away from City 9. It was only then that Stephon stopped in the skies, Rickat sighing out of anger as just when he was about to ask this fellowmander what was wrong, he saw that his face had gone utterly nk without a smidge of emotion present! A bad feeling crept up in his heart, but he wouldn''t get to entertain such a feeling as in the next instant, a terrifying force of gold smashed into him like a speeding train, the impact so horrendous that his figure fell from the skies and smashed onto the cold earth below! BOOM! Rickat wheezed out as blood sprayed from his lips, his eyes barely able to catch the glimpse of a terrifying Congrant Pegasus before scorching rays of light thundered down unto him. It only took 2 minutes before the shes of Gold light died down, the ground below scorched and filled with signs of fighting! Yet at this moment, the figure of Stephon could be seen standing next to Rickat, both of their eyes carrying a hint of blue as they looked towards a single man on the back of GOLD Light Unit. Noah''s eyes released a wondrous light as after quietly isting and subjugating another GOLD Blessed, his eyes remained impassive as they looked back to the city that only had one remaining! "Let''s finish this." RUMBLE! With a shocking momentum, the force of multiple Gold Blessed and a Gold Rift Boss descended unto City 9 silently, Noah beginning his goal of spreading out his influence across the surrounding areas silently as in a matter of days...he wanted to have all the GOLD Blessed in the surrounding Cities below him while he dove into the Rifts within the Cities to obtain the maximum rewards of the Idle Gaming System! Chapter 70 - A Hidden Ruler Stretches His Influence! II The remaining Gold Blessed in City 9 did not even have a chance with the force that came, the one known as Commander Oden simply rising to the skies to find Rickat returning alone. As this Blessed tried to figure out what was going on, a wave of intense mental energy from Noah''s Inherent Skill rushed towards him, Noah using a lot of his strength to hold the body of this powerful Blessed in ce in the skies for just a few seconds! If he was facing the being alone, such a move would have used a majority of his mental strength and left him vulnerable if the enemy wasn''t taken down, but since he had multiple Gold Blessed with him- even a single second where the enemy could not move could spell death! The moment the body of Commander Oden was brought to a halt, he found to his shock and dismay the body of Rickat shing with a powerful offensive skill to smash into him, Stephon''s body also appearing from behind tond another attack as an instantter, the deadly force akin to a speeding train that was the Congrant Pegasus came up from below to knock the figure of the Gold Blessed into the skies like a rag doll. Drops of blood were all that fell to the quiet grounds of the city after that as for anyone watching, they would have only seen bright shes of light in the skies for a few seconds before everything came to a stop! What urred after was a subjugation after the body of Commander Oden became tattered and ragged, the two GOLD Blessed of City 9 silently being ced under Noah''s banner. That easy! WAA! In the skies, the wings of the Congrant Pegasus pped majestically as Noah had his eyes closed, reading the memories of the two new Blessed as he expanded his knowledge of the forces of the two Continents and got a better grasp of the City below him. What caused his eyes to burn with the light of ambition was that from the memories of Commander Oden, he actually found that this being from the Wild Continent had been in constant contact with a Golden Commander currentlymanding a battalion in the Wandering ins where the forces of the three Continents were shing- this Golden Commander talking with Oden about the fact that in under 2 days, the war situation would change as a being capable of changing the entire battlefield would be sent over! This was a shocking piece of information that meant the Wild Continent would actually send out a Diamond Ranked Expert first to cause a big ssh in the war. Noah yed close attention when it came to any experts at this level, every time he read the memories of the New Blessed looking for any information about them. He roughly knew the numbers of those that publicly showed themselves in the Wild and Dark Continents from the memories of the 4 GOLD Blessed he had taken over so far, but he needed more information! The piece of news about the deployment of a Diamond Expert was shocking enough though, as he knew the war was about to be even more tumultuous. In the middle of this turmoil...he could obtain the most benefits if he moved rapidly! While the three Continents were focused on their war and even nning to increase its dangers up a notch, Noah could fully take control of the Gold Blessed situated to look over all the subjugated Cities as when the battle in the Wandering ins became even more chaotic- he could have a force of Blessed under him that was as strong as one of the armies battling in the Wandering ins right now. With each subjugated City having around 2 Gold Blessed overseeing it, with some cities having three- it meant Noah could have more than 20 Gold Experts under him! This was the number of Commanders deployed to lead the battalions at the warfront of the Wandering ins at this moment! Noah''s options after controlling such a force...would be heavily expanded. Many thoughts swirled in his mind as he shifted his ns somewhat, elerating how quickly he would go from city to city to subjugate the Gold Blessed there. He stared down at the twinkling lights of City 9 as he eyes the Dimensional Rifts below, giving a shockingmand to Commander Oden that would cause the turmoil of the war to only increase. "Head towards the Wandering ins in haste. Silently leak the news to the Commanders of the Light Continent that a Diamond expert will soon enter the field of battle!" Noah''s eyes shone brilliantly when he gave thismand, plotting many things in his mind as sank into the City below to clear the Dimensional Rifts. This was his main goal of going City to City, the Rifts within being tremendous boons to give him Idle Exp and numerous other resources to increase his power! An example was the increase in Silver Rank Rifts- the more of these that he had, the faster he could gain the Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals, which meant the faster he could fuse new gold units! It also gave way to the reality where he could obtain thousands of Silver Cores that he could utilize to raise a terrifying army. Of course, the results would only be expounded when he moved on to Gold Rifts and the only Diamond Rift within the Ethereal Realm. Such thoughts always remained in the back of his mind as within City 9, he used Rickat''s authority to tantly enter the Rifts within as he and Stephon just didn''t show their power, the Blessed who were overseeing the encampment simply looking forward in confusion as Noah knew they couldn''t do anything at this moment, especially with the major forces of the continent focused on the battle at the Wandering ins! From the 2 Iron to the 8 Bronze and the 1 Silver Rift, he went from one to another as while he carried the terrifying force of 2 GOLD Light Units and 2 Gold Blessed along with his own terrific power, the rate of clearing the dungeons was just monstrous as his average clear time was around the same as the rifts within Academy City. All in all, it took him just an hour and a half to clear all the rifts once, having an average of 5 minutes on the Iron? Rifts, 9 minutes for the bronze, and the single Silver Rift he zed through in under 14 minutes! This meant he added another 11 Rifts in Idle Mode, his bright eyes watching the timer ticking on these rifts as theynded on the ones that shone with a golden splendor- it was the Rifts from Academy City. 3 Iron, 3 Bronze, and one Silver. These rifts had nearly been running on this timer for a day, their boxes shining intensely with a golden light as Noah couldn''t help but click on them to see the fruits of hisbor! With the clear times of 5, 8, and 11 minutes respectively for Iron, Bronze, and Silver...the rewards were shocking to say the least. IRON [+4320 Idle Exp][+13,00 Iron Rank Cores][+300 zing Armor]...[+445 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]...[+27,000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] BRONZE [+5,400 Idle Exp][+9847 Bronze Rank Cores]....[+395 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]...[+25,134 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] SILVER [+2,640 Idle Exp][+3,145 Silver Rank Cores]...[+295 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]...[+8,445 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] "..." A shocking set of details exploded in his mind after he clicked on the rifts, seeing his shocking rewards after moving around with vigor the past days as he was greeted with an unbelievable amount of loot. Enough Iron Rank Unit Shards and Unit Cores to fuse over 10 Bronze Units, and enough of the same loot in Bronze for him to fuse over 10 Silver Units! A shocking detail to recall was that since many of the Unit Shards were the same Dimensional creature from the loot of Rifts, Noah could fuse element specific Units all the way to Silver and Gold! He could continue fusing multiple of the same Minotaurs all the way to Silver and Gold, or multiple units of the Ice Element or Fire Element. It left many possibilities for the future where if he experimented and spent his time correctly, he could call forth an entire team of a specific Element if he wished! Then there was also the matter of the most precious loot for him at this moment- the Idle Exp. Just from a single day, he had gained over 10,000 Exp! This was the old amount of exp he needed to upgrade the System, and he got it in just a day at this moment as it was one tenth what he needed to get to the 100,000 he required before the next upgrade. All that from just a single day! THUMP! Noah could feel his heart beating clearly as he thought of all the wondrous possibilities. The shocking results of reducing the clear time of the Rifts as shown above...it could effectively be multiplied in two after he added the rifts of City 9 that he just conquered- or maybe even by 3 as he added 11 Rifts from this citypared to the 7 in Academy City. This was why he wanted to very quickly descend onto other cities and clear their Rifts as well! Just with the addition of another City, he would be getting 20,000+ exp after 24 hours. If he added the remaining 8 Cities and all the Rifts they held? That number would stupidly and easily spill over 100,000+ Idle Exp in just a day, with his being able to obtain a simr number when it came to Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals as it meant he could ridiculously fuse a Gold Unit every single day! The numbers of Iron and Bronze Units he could fuse would be uncountable. The number of cores would pile up to treasure mountains! All these possibilities...they made Noah''s eyes turn hungry with greed as in just minutes after he took control of the 2 Gold Blessed of City 9, his Congrant Pegasus rose to the skies as it began to fly towards City 10! His blue eyes zed with arcs of light as his mind just couldn''t stop after he thought of all the possibilities! Chapter 71 - From City To City! With his goals very clearly right in front of his eyes, Noah did not waste any time as he thundered towards the next nearest city. He had long since collected information on where all the surrounding subjugated Cities were, all that was left being how long it would take him to get there! With the flying type Congrant Pegasus that had the skies as its home, the trip to another City took just 20 minutes. WAA! He stayed in the skies as he looked over City 10, this City and the rest of the subjugated cities having had their own names in the past before they were given mere numbers from 1-10. To Noah, the exquisite buildings andyout of these fantasy cities seemed the same as all he cared about at this moment was taking care of the 2 GOLD Blessed within as well as the Rifts! Using schemes to lure them out and iste them simr to what he had done to the past City 9, the residents and Blessed of the City only saw a few gold shes of light as they were drowned out in just under a minute. When the Silver Blessed reached out to theirmanders to ask what was going on, they received a reply from an already subjugated being that told them everything was fine! Noah only took over the Gold Blessed at this moment as he didn''t want to add to many beings under hismand without knowing what his limit would be, making sure to have enough strength for the many Golden Commanders stretched throughout. These were the main power houses of the Ethereal Realm besides the DIAMOND experts that were the peak of power, the only being to have ever reached PLATINUM being the long perished Ethereal Emperor! If he controlled many Gold Blessed...his goals could easily be achieved. "Let''s go!" After the subjugation of this City''s Gold Blessed, Noah dove into their Rifts in the dark of the night! City 10 had 5 Iron Rifts, four Bronze, and one silver as Noah kept his fast clearing rate with the aid of his Units and Subjugated Blessed. When midnight passed, only a bit over an hour had gone by as Noah finished up on the Silver Rift with a 12 minute clear time. This meant that whatever Idle Rewards he had were multiplied yet again as at this moment, he would get over 30,000+ Idle EXP in 24 hours from the Rifts of his 3 Subjugated Cities! After that...everything was like clock work as Noah simply had to go from city to city to silently subjugate the Golden Commanders overseeing them while clearing their Rifts and adding them to his collection. He would leave a single Gold Blessed in the cities he had taken over as he brought the rest with him, where after he crossed the skies with the Congrant Pegasus and finished taking over the 4th City, he had 2 more GOLD Blessed aside from Stephon following him! It was such a shocking force and reality that whether Noah knew it himself or not...he was about to break the very structure of power of the Ethereal Realm with his shocking actions of dominating the experts that made the biggest chunk of power within thesends. With even more GOLD Blessed apanying him to theter Cities...the process of subjugation would only be easier as the clear time of some Rifts fell under 5 minutes! The ridiculousness of Noah''s actions were in full swing as only time would tell what shocking results they would bring forth. --- A few hours passed. In the Wandering ins where a terrifying battle was taking ce, a terrified Blessed was brought to the Commander''s Tent where powerful auras of multiple Gold Blessedy within, all of their eyes turning towards the Silver Blessed as the centermost Golden Commander voiced out chillingly. "You say a gold expert from the Wild Continent had you in his grip and let you go to deliver a message?" RUMBLE! The centermost Golden Commander was a renowned Blessed in the Light Continent called Commander Windsor. He was known for his experience and ability to lead, the Crown Prince putting him in the lead to oversee the battle as he had been able to coordinate and work with othermanders to make sure the battalions of the Light Continent did not lose! Windsor had been discussing with the 2 other Commanders when he received the news that just 30 minutes back, one of their powerful Soldiers who had been keeping watch in the night faced a masked Golden Blessed in the periphery of the ins where the fighting was taking ce, this masked being holding the soldier down and passing a shocking message to him that he said to tell to hismanders. The masked Gold Blessed then disappeared as with a newly granted lease in life...the Silver Soldier very quickly moved back while telling his direct Superior the shocking information he was given! Now, he stood in the tent where multiple Commanders stared him down as he repeated what he was told with an apprehensive face. "Yes, he said that within the next few days...the Wild Continent would release a DIAMOND Ranked expert to end the war in the Wandering ins and push further in to the Light Continent!" RUMBLE! It was like lightning struck onto the hearts of those that heard this information, Commander Windsor''s eyes constricting as he voiced out calmly. "Can you recall anything about the man''s voice? His tone, dialect¡­?" He asked multiple questions as the Silver Blessed revealed all he could remember, Commander Windsor''s face bing exceedingly serious as he turned towards a Communication Medallion at the center of the exquisite table within the tent that held a huge map of the Wandering ins and where all the forces were moving. His hand grasped the Communication Medallion as his energy sank into it, his voice ringing out with seriousness! "Sire, we have a situation¡­" ¡­! Through Noah''s hands, Commander Odo from City 9 had traveled non stop through the skies andnd when his energy ran dry, traveling for over 4 hours until he crossed tens of miles to reach the Wandering ins where the forces of three continents were stationed! In the lull of the night, he had taken a Silver Blessed as he released shocking information that would have immense consequences. Deep in the heart of the Imperial Capital, the Crown Prince put down the Communication Medallion that delivered shocking news from Commander Windsor, his eyes turning into cold slits as his silver hair that was a shade dimmer than Rose''s fell to his shoulders! He waved his hand as another medallion appeared in his hands, this one delivering a message to another being- a being of shocking personage that resided within the Imperial Capital! "Uncle, I''ll have to take some of your time." ¡­! A few seconds passed before a reply rang out from the medallion the Crown Prince held. "What happened? We are preparing for the next dive into this terrible Rift¡­" A voice filled with majesty and authority spoke to the Crown Prince, a voice of a being at the DIAMOND Rank! Through Noah''s actions, a set of events had yed out as soon enough, it would cause the first sh of the peak experts within the Ethereal Realm! --- As the consequences of his actions began to spread, the man in question was standing gloriously on top of his Congrant Pegasus in the skies as he watched the golden rays of sunlight watch away the darkness of the night. He had been moving for the entire past night across multiple cities until dawn was now breaking, his figure on top of the Pegasus not being alone as 6 Golden Blessed shockingly floated behind him! These were just the Blessed he brought with him from the Cities he had already controlled the Gold Blessed of, and it shockingly included the cities that were given the numbers of 7,6, and 5 after their subjugation. That''s right. After Noah left City 10 with Stephon and one of the Gold Blessed within that City, he had managed to cross the tens of miles in the skies while utilizing the strength of the pegasus to repeat what he had been doing as the Golden Commanders from 3 more subjugated Cities fell into his grasp! After they fell, he of course cleared the Rifts within their Cities with them, adding over 30+ Dimensional Rifts collectively in the past few hours from 3 cities as the total number of rifts running on Idle mode at the moment were 63. 63! The subjugated cities renamed 5-10 were taken over as Noah ridiculously had all the rifts within these cities cleared, the only task remaining for him being to grasp four more cities until he could just sit and wait for time to pass while he became immensely stronger! But with dawn breaking, he brought his relentless advance to a halt as he didn''t n to attack the Blessed and clear the rifts in broad daylight, choosing to use the day to get back into the Tower of Champions to go past the 50th floor, as well as check which Shattered ne Dimensional Rift had opened after the timer of the Shattered Light ne ended! Chapter 72 - Stack The GOLD Rift Bosses! I WAA! From the skies above mountainous ins, the cry of a Congrant Pegasus could be heard as it descended to the ground. The mountain it descended on was filled with verdant greenery, the light of dawn making them shine brightly as Noah looked at this beautiful scene before he turned towards the 6 Gold Blessed he had brought with him. "Wait within this mountain until I return, we''ll resume the mission at night." Hismand rang out as the powerful experts nodded reverentially, not even being able to disobey amand from their Master! Noah had them wait here and not return to their cities as there was still a Gold Blessed in each City overseeing things, with the focus of the forces of the three continents being on the Wandering ins. Until this battle ended, Noah knew there would be no surprises when it came to the subjugated cities. As for even the possibility of being able to bring other beings aside from himself and the Units he obtained from the System into structures like the Tower of Champions? It was null as always, the description staying true that it was only for the Master of the Idle Gaming System. THRUM! Waves of spatial energy rang out as after having given themand, Noah''s body disappeared along with the enormous Congrant Pegasus, the two of them appearing within the Waiting Room where the brilliantly shining Tower of Champions as the Shattered nes Dimensional Riftsy waiting! Noah''s eyes instantly turned towards the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts as he wanted to see which High Tier Unit was avable now, seeing the clear and purple name reading AETHER at the front of the Shattered nes Rift at this moment. The structure had lost the brilliant gold color that represented the light element, pulsing a wondrous purple at this moment as Noah nodded his head towards it with shining eyes. The n for today was to descend onto the newly avable high tier element rift only after he had ascended the floors of the Tower of Champions. He was much further ahead in here as this was also the location that gave him the most Upgrade Crystals, and after the 50th floor, it would begin to give him Gold Cores! If he obtained arge number of such Cores, the ridiculous reality of him producing multiple Gold Blessed could be realized. In theing days, if he pumped the Silver Blessed he had subjugated to the peak of Silver rank and then had multiple Gold Cores in hand, what prevented him from raising tens of Blessed that others still considered rare experts at this moment? Depending on how far he climbed the Tower and its rewards...he wouldn''t be surprised if he could elevate the ranks of tens of Silver Blessed to make a terrifying army of Gold minions! With such thoughts in his mind, he dove towards the 51st floor of the Tower of Champions! The environment had finally changed from the frozen ins and ice caps, this time finding himself standing in a barren in that looked like a road. As for where this road led? It was towards a huge fortress that Noah could see a shining white name above it. [Elven Fortress] :: Clear all the creatures within the Elven Fortress to pass through the 51st floor. On the 51st floor, he shockingly had to fight beings he had not even heard about- Elves! His powerful eyes could see that on the Fortress Walls, figures of multiple Silver Blessed walked around protectively, and he could sense the aura of a Gold Blessed at the center of this fortress as well. If he could sense the aura of a being in the same realm as him¡­ RUMBLE! An rm seemingly rang from the Elven Fortress as the Silver Elves stationed on the walls became ready for battle while staring out towards the barren ins Noah was in. The Gold Elf at the center of the Elven Fortress had sensed his appearance as it seemed the enemies he would face after the 50th floor were not just powerful creatures, but ones with high intellect! His eyes shone as he recalled what he knew about elves from the fantasy stories of his old world. The image of beautiful beings with bows and arrows was wiped away as he saw mana pulsing brightly on the walls, the ferocious face of murderous Elves that had pointed ears and looked exactly the same as humans being seen as they released powerful long range elemental attacks. "Well alright then!" RUMBLE! Noah smiled brightly as the rest of his Units were called forth, 5 more units aside from the Congrant Pegasus making their appearance. The Equipment Guardian was the only other GOLD Unit as the rest were in silver, but this would change soon enough as Noah climbed the tower and waited for the rewards of the Idle Gaming System in a day. CAA! The Pegasus voiced out powerfully as it took to the skies with Noah on top of it, the Equipment Guardian pulsing with light as it looked like a formidable pdin protecting the Silver Units as it went head on towards the huge steel doors of the Elven Fortress! BOOM! From the skies, scorching rays of light began to thunder down as Noah appeared directly above the center of the Fortress to engage the Gold Elf Rift Boss right away. A brilliant luster of gold shined out as a reply, a figure flying to the skies while shrieking towards them, enormous balls of fire that causes searing waves to travel in the air forming around the creature before they rushed towards them. WAA! Noah''s eyes shed as they released blue tendrils of light, the energy of the Telekic Emperor erupting out as the directory of the horribly scorching fire balls was changed away from them, a glorious battle erupting in the skies as below, the Equipment Guardian had cast [Light of Dawn] as a wondrous golden light erupted from it, this light increasing the power all of Noah''s units could release while healing them from any injuries they received! Facing the Silver Elves on the Fortress Walls...the Guardian moved unhindered as the main entrance was broken through and a massacre began. With the Congrant Pegasus and Noah above while the Equipment Guardian led the other Units below, the Rift took Noah just half an hour to clear out after the terrifying GOLD Rift Boss fell from a protracted battle. Unlike the Blessed he faced outside, genuine Rift Bosses were much harder to kill as Noah moved carefully against them! But the floor was cleared in half an hour as Noah and his forces were teleported out, the rewards of the floor disyed in front of him! [Rewards for clearing the 51st Floor] :: [+5,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+500 Random Bronze Equipment], [+50,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+250 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+500 SILVER Rank Cores], [+25 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+20,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+50 Health Potions], [+50 Mana Potions], [+50 Defense Potions], [+50 Attack Potions], [+5 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+1 Random GOLD Equipment], [+5 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards]. The words were in a box that shone with gold light, his blue eyes reading over them thoroughly as he saw the most important details. The biggest was of course the 25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards that made him now have 50 from the original 25 he obtained on the 50th floor, meaning if he cleared the 52nd and 53rd floor...another GOLD Rank Rift Boss would fall under hisp! There were also the 5 Gold Rank Cores that meant the birth of another Gold Expert, his first priority being to strengthen Annalise and Rose as he saw how powerful these girls could be with the Inherent Skills they had along with him feeding them a bunch of Skill books. The potions were weed as always, especially the Mana Potions that he chugged nearly in every battle until the taste could be recalled by his taste buds the moment he pulled one out! The Attack and Defense potions were ones he utilized to boost his strength even more when he faced the powerful Rift Bosses like the one he just faced. After analyzing all the rewards of the floor and seeing what was waiting for him, he returned into the tower once more as he went into the 52nd floor! [2 Elven Fortresses] :: Clear all the creatures within the two Fortresses to pass through the 52nd floor. The difficulty rapidly ramped up as Noah was teleported to an area that held 2 Elven Fortress, the battles bound to be more hectic as his units vibrated with power while they went forward relentlessly! In his hands, he was already chugging potions to be in his strongest form, his figure looking extremely valiantly as he sat on top of the Pegasus that tore through the skies towards a fortress filled with murderous Elves! Chapter 73 - Stack The GOLD Rift Bosses! II His work being increased, the 52nd floor of the Tower of Champions took Noah double the time as he only finished taking down the two Elven Rift Bosses after an hour. The rewards were identical to the ones he obtained on the 51st floor as he gained another 20,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals and 25 GOLD Unit Shards that meant he was only 25 away from having 100 and summoning a random Gold Unit for the first time! ?? Not through fusion, but through the loot of the Tower as the Unit would be randomized! Noah recalled how even though it had the word ''random'', the shards almost always gave Units that rted to the Dimensional Beasts of the floors he was clearing. So he wouldn''t be surprised if the random gold unit just happened to be an Elven Rift Boss. "Let''s go!" His vigorous shout rang out as he took the units to delve into the 53rd floor, this time yet another Elven fortress being added as he shockingly faced 3 Gold Ranked Rift Bosses! The difficulty of the upper floors of the tower was truly elevating rapidly as Noah had to move to quickly assault the first fortress and take down an Elven Rift Boss before the other twobined their forces and came over. With the Congrant Pegasus and Equipment Guardian on the lead, they just barely managed to take down the first Rift Boss before reinforcements from the other 2 Fortress came, a dangerous sh ensuing as without the Potions Noah and his units were chugging, it would have been a truly dangerous battle! OOOH! When a single Elven Rift Boss was left on the floor, the Equipment Guardian released a wondrous bellow as with Noah''smand, the skill [Equipment Mode] was cast as this GOLD Rift Boss turned into golden lights that descended around Noah. RUMBLE! Golden mana gloriously waved about as a gold suit of armor appeared on Noah, his hands holding exquisite battle axes that pulsed with an intense and dangerous light as his figure thundered down on the Rift Boss that was casting multiple scorching balls of mes. BOOM! The skills were dispelled as Noah attacked ferociously, the Congrant Pegasusing to aid him on the side as they dominated the battle and took down the Elven Rift Boss soon after. "Haa¡­" Noah enjoyed the brimming feeling of strength with [Equipment Mode] active, his body feeling like it held unending strength! It was short lived as with its high mana consumption, the armament and battle axes faded from his body as the Equipment Guardian returned to his normal form, a spatial light covering everyone as they were teleported out of the tower. [Rewards for clearing the 53rd Floor] :: [+5,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+500 Random Bronze Equipment], [+50,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+250 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+500 SILVER Rank Cores], [+25 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+20,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+50 Health Potions], [+50 Mana Potions], [+50 Defense Potions], [+50 Attack Potions], [+5 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+1 Random GOLD Equipment], [+5 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards]. Thest Gold Unit shards were obtained along with another 20,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals, Noah seeing that he had 83,024 out of the 100 thousand he required before yet another Gold Unit could be born! It meant that today...the number of gold units he held would double as 2 more wereing right up! His shining eyes focused on the 100/100 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards as he gave themand. "Summon!" RUMBLE! The shards disappeared from his Inventory as mana bloomed in front of him, his eyes taking everything in as when the light died down, an enormous figure bloomed in front of his eyes. HISSS! A sharp hissing sound erupted out as a serpentine head rose to meet Noah''s, its eyes shining with a light of submission as its body towered at 10 meters- that was 5 times the size of a normal human being! Intense coldness radiated from this creature as frost could be seen from its body, Noah looking over to it in surprise as it truly was random this time around, getting his hands on a creature he had not yete across! [Frost Basilisk] :: A creature that enjoys the coldest wastnds as its home, with its body being capable of causing an entire region to change depending on its mood. It''s abilities include [Frozen Breath], [Ice Age], [Ice Armor], and [Icy Meteor] A wondrous new Unit joined his side as Noah read over its details, focusing on its skills as this new unit would prove to be a terrifying one. Frozen Breath was a powerful area of attack ability that the Basilisk could use to heavily damage and freeze its enemies, while Ice Age powerfully caused an entire specified region to freeze and bloom a frozen cier! Ice Armor was its defensive ability that covered its body in a powerful armor, and Ice Meteor was just another powerful offensive ability in its arsenal that called forth a destructive frozen Meteor to form in the skies before thundering down towards its enemy. A powerful new Unit indeed! With the addition of this terrifying new GOLD Unit of the Ice element, Noah wasted no time as he dove into the 54th floor of the Tower of Champions. Within this floor, 4 Eleven Fortress that contained 4 GOLD Rift Bosses met him, where he knew that if he had not added another powerful Rift Boss, this might have been thest floor he would reach before he had to give up and be kicked out of the tower. Facing 4 Rift Bosses that was equivalent to facing the power of 40 Gold Rank Blessed, Noah and his units chugged potions after potions as the battle only concluded after 2 hours! But with its finish, identical loot simr to the past floors greeted him as he gained the remaining Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals to fuse another GOLD Unit. SHAA! The figures of Noah and his Units were teleported out as Noah clicked his tongue at the increasing difficulty of the Tower, the next level being one that would most likely be three times as harder if not more as it would be the 5th floor since he cleared 50. His eyes honed in on the Silver Upgrade Crystals as he would only be confident to continue up the tower after he gained another Gold Unit, and even then he was worried! He waved his hands to bring up the Inventory that cleverly organized his potions, cores, skill books, and Units into small separate boxes, his eyes focusing over on the ''Units'' boxes that shone with a silver light to indicate Silver Rank Units. He honed in on the ones that had a golden line that signified their element, choosing two Offensive Light Units for his choice of fusion as his choice was actually...the very same Light Pegasus and the Fiery Light Falcon that produced his first GOLD Unit! THRUUM! 100,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals disappearing and a gorgeous golden sh of lightter, another robust and magnificent figure of a second Congrant Pegasus appeared. Identical to his first Unit! The already summoned Congrant Pegasus turned towards the one that looked exactly like it, Noah smiling brilliantly as he chose to obtain a powerful offensive unit he already had confidence in. If something was broken, why try to change it? If one Congrant Pegasus had led him to the victories he had obtained until now, why not two?! RUMBLE! Gloriously, Noah stared at the figures of two Congrant Pegasi, an Equipment Guardian, and a Frost Basilisk as he had actually managed to stack 4 GOLD Units under him in a short period of time. He just had 2 more spots he needed to rece with additional GOLD Units before he could have a full stacked team of 6 Gold Rift Bosses! "Good!" He couldn''t help butmend the power of the Units and his own conviction, his gaze turning towards the building opposite the Tower of Champions as he stared at the pulsing purple light that represented Shattered Aether ne Dimensional Rifts. He knew the next floor of the Tower would be exceedingly hard after he barely finished the 54th floor, so he thought back to the Shattered Light nes Rifts that had rtively weaker enemies that still began at silver, but when he cleared up to the 20th floor...its rewards had stacked up enough to have given him 100,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals! Between the exceedingly hard 55th floor of the Tower of Champions that Noah could see among its rewards having 50,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals or the Shattered Aether Rifts that he could easily clear and obtain enough Silver Upgrade Crystals to fuse another Unit...the choice was already made as after nearly half a day of diving in the tower, Noah made his way towards the Shattered Aether nes Dimensional Rifts with 4 GOLD Rift Bosses in tow! Chapter 74 - All The Rifts From 10 Cities In Idle Mode! I Inside the Shattered Aether nes Rifts, Noah faced unique creatures that released an oppressive air even denser than the light element Dimensional Beasts, dense purple mana wrapping around their bodies as they released terribly powerful attacks. These creatures seemed heavily on the offensive side, Noahing across Aether Serpents, Wolves, Falcons, and a variety of other Beasts that were tinged with the High Element of Aether! Past the 15th Floor, he even beganing across Aether Drakes that even at their Silver Rank, the attacks they released could rival those of a GOLD Blessed! ?? OOOH! But with a team of 4 Rift Bosses, Noah was relentless as he tore through the floors. His two Congrant Pegasi were roaring victoriously at this moment as he defeated the multiple Silver Aether Rift Bosses of the 24th Floor where he faced three Aether Serpents and six Aether Drakes. The difficulty was no joke as without his beefed up party, Noah would not have gotten too far! But he pierced through this Elemental ne Dimensional Rift faster than even the first one as for thest portion of the day, nearly all of it was used to get to the 24th floor. Noah knew that night was nearing as he would have to soon resume his take over of the remaining 4 Cities, his eyes ncing at the rewards so far as they were truly abundant! From the 24 floors, he had gained over 150,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals as he crossed even more floors in the past 5 hours than all that he climbed during when the Light Element ne was active, also getting his hands on a variety of Potions and Hundreds of Silver Rank Aether Unit Shards for him to summon over 15 Aether Element Units! The immense power of the Aether Beasts made Noah evaluate on whether he shouldbine Light Element Silver Units for thest 2 spots of his team, or if he shouldbine the Aether Units to get two brand new stupidly offensive styled units of another High Tier Element. ''Well, why don''t we have the next floor make the decision easy?'' Noah''s eyes shone with light as he nced towards the rewards of the 25th Floor of the Shattered Aether nes Elemental Rifts. Their rewards included 25,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals along with 25 GOLD Rank Shards for a random Aether Unit, Noah choosing to enter and clear this floor as he would very likely face his first GOLD Rank Aether Rift Boss here! He wanted to see just how powerful and oppressive it waspared to the Gold Rift Bosses he hade across as he...was not let down at all. ROAAAR! The 25th Floor of the Shattered Aether nes Dimensional Rift contained a creature simr to the Aether Drake Noah hade across on the past floors, but it was muchrger as its wings spanned out majestically, Noah getting an image of a fantastical creature from this Beast! [Aether Half-Dragon] :: Defeat the GOLD Rank Half-Dragon to clear the 25th Floor of the Shattered Aether nes Dimensional Rifts. The identity of the resplendently purple shining creature was ryed at as it charged towards Noah and his Units without fear, the cries of two Congrant Pegasi reverberating out as colorful scorching spears of light went forward to stop its advance while the Equipment Guardian turned into a streak of light that merged with Noah! WAA! The newly gained Frost Basilisk spat out [Frozen Breath] as the surroundings became filled with ice, the figure of the Aether Half-Dragon brought to a halt as the Pegasi and Noah rushed towards it to release powerful attacks. BOOM! Yet...it was unhindered as its body shone with purple mana, an innumerable number of purple lightning beginning to dance around out as Noah''s units were pushed back. The Pegasi looked towards the Half-Dragon furiously as [Light of Dawn] was actualized from the both of them, a halo of protective light wrapping around them and Noah as they rushed back to engage the powerful enemy! Noah got his first look at his first creature that had the name ''Dragon'' within, fighting a blood pumping battle that only neared its end after 20 minutes, and this was when the energy reserves of the Aether Half-Dragon ran dry as its body was wrecked with injuries from 4 other GOLD Rift Bosses. The light within the eyes of this Dragon was relentless as even in the face of death, its jaws opened brilliantly to release a ray of purple lighting that nearly tore off the wing of one of the Congrant Pegasi, the Frost Basilisking from behind to finish the job as [Ice Age] was cast, a cier erupting out with the Aether Half-Dragon in the center as the terrifying beast was forever encased in ice! THRUUM! Noah stared breathlessly at the majestic creature that even in death by ice, its frozen figure was ring at them with hatred as it still wanted to rip them all apart. He only confirmed its death when he felt the light of teleportation wrap around him and his Units as they all appeared back in the waiting room! Many thoughts crossed his mind as he thought about the fearsome power of the Aether Half-Dragon, his mind being made on exactly which units would be joining him as GOLD Rift Bosses after he witnessed the power of the one he just fought. It seemed that even among High Tier Elements, some were stronger than others or had an edge over a certain area- and Noah saw the edge of the Aether Element beasts to be their terrifying Offensive abilities! "Hooo¡­" He let out a breath as he stretched his stiff limbs after moving the entire day, knowing that the day had passed with night soon nearing. It meant that he would soon have to step out and leave the Tower of Champions and the Shattered Aether nes Dimensional Rifts to go finish his mission of taking the minds of the remaining GOLD Blessed of Subjugated Cities as well as clear their Dimensional Rifts! Before he did this, Noah focused on his Idle Gaming System Interface as he made some calctions. Since dawn came and it was now dusk, over 11 something hours had passed since Noah fully had 63 Dimensional Rifts running on Idle Mode. He normally liked collecting the rewards after 24 hours, but at this moment after he cleared the 25th floor of the Shattered Aether nes Dimensional Rifts- he onlycked a little over 25,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals to have on hand the sweet number of 200,000 that would grant him 2 GOLD Units! For this number, he was willing to break his rule as he opened the Idle Gaming System Interface and focused on the Silver Rifts that were shining brilliantly with a golden light. The Silver Rift of just Academy City had given him 8,445 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals in 24 hours with the heavily reduced clear time. What would the 5 other Silver Rifts he added in addition to the one from Academy City grant him in half the time?! SILVER [+7,450 Idle Exp][+9,293 Silver Rank Cores]...[+155 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards][+159 Silver Rank zing Iguana Shards]...[+26,927 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] The answer was a wondrous amount of Idle Exp, Cores, and above the number of Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals that he needed to have enough materials to fuse 4 Silver Units into 2 Gold ones! "Good!" With bright eyes, he focused in the Inventory where the Silver outlines of Units with a purple luster could be seen, his thoughts going out as he selected two [Aether Drakes] to pump with the first portion of the 100,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals to fuse. RUMBLE! An explosion of dense purple manater, and a powerful pressure was summoned in front of him as a creature easily over 15 meters Ross its serpentine eyes to stare towards him! [Aether Half-Dragon] :: A mutated creature that stemmed from the Bloodline of Drakes. The regal blood of Dragons was too thin for its birth as it could only be a half dragon. But the mere fact it is half a dragon makes it a deadly enemy that one should never turn their backs on. It''s abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], and [Aether Rune Mark]. ROAAAR! The half dragon announced its presence gloriously as the oppressive air it released was more intense than even the Congrant Pegasus, Noah''s eyes shining intensely as he looked over its powerful skills! Lightning Burst caused the Half Dragon to explode with Aether as it reached speeds multiple times faster than normal, with Aether Cageying down tendrils of Aether lightning to lock down enemies on a certain area for a short period of time. Destructive Ray was the terrible purple ray of Aether shot forth from its jaws that Noah had experienced in the past, while Aether Rune Mark was a unique ability as it actually granted a Rune Mark on those the Aether Half-Dragon considered its allies- those selected having all their attacks be reinforced with the element of Aether as their offensive abilities are increased by another level! ROAAAR! The majestic new Unit let itself be known once more as Noah smiled brightly towards it, his eyes looking towards another two Silver Shards that showed two [Aether Drakes]. One was already terrifying, but why not have two?! Chapter 75 - All The Rifts From 10 Cities In Idle Mode! II The air vibrated with intense power as in front of Noah, there was a line up of 2 Congrant Pegasi, a Light Equipment Guardian, a Frost Basilisk...and 2 Aether Half-Dragons! He had gone ahead and fused another two Aether Drakes to produce another Aether Half-Dragon, the oppressive aura the creatures released being doubled as their bodies shone with a resplendent purple luster. ?? Noah was looking at this scene with intense eyes as he felt a great sense of aplishment- the reality of 6 GOLD Rift Bosses having actually been achieved by him! One must not forget that the entire party of Units...was also made up entirely of High Tier Elements of Light and Aether. It was Dimensional Rift Bosses that were a notch stronger than most, the terrifying might they could release still yet to be fully explored! Noah enjoyed the sight of the powerful Beasts for a few more seconds before he waved his hands to send them back into his Inventory, leaving the Waiting Room and reappearing back into the mountain where he left behind 6 Gold Experts. Darkness had already descended as the area around Noah was extremely quiet, without the sound of even a single animal in sight! This was of course due to the 6 Gold Blessed that stood in a circle while waiting for their Master. Their eyes shed with a glimmering blue light when they saw his return, rising up as their bodies pulsed with power! Noah looked at the 6 figures as he still held the smile frompleting a team of GOLD units, calling forth a Congrant Pegasus and an Aether Half-Dragon to appear behind him. BOOM! Their enormous bodies caused the mountains to shake as Noah''s voice rang out! "Let''s head out!" WAA! The Subjugated Golden Commanders looked at this scene with fervor in their eyes as the six of them boarded the enormous Dragon, Noah getting on the back of the Congrant Pegasus as streaks of purple and gold took to the skies going towards City 4. --- Over 200 miles from Noah''s currently changing location, the bloody Wandering ins were filled with a dreadful air as many Blessed were shown the terrifying scenes of the results of war. The originally peaceful ins were littered with the bodies of Blessed as since a few hours ago, the soldiers who would risk their lives to collect and bring back the bodies of theirrades had long given up- giving way to the shocking scene where Blessed still fought while thousands of dead bodies were around them! In the dark of the night, the visibility was so low that some might even identally step on the bodies of their dead friends as they fought back against their enemies. OOOH! Shouts that stemmed from beings just trying to survive at this point continued to respond out, the biggest casualties being the masses of Blessed from the Bronze and Silver Ranked as the Golden Commanders only fell here and there. BOOM!...SQUELCH! Horrifying sounds continued to ring out as destructive Elemental skills flew all around, a Golden Commander from the Wild Continent overseeing a certain region of the Wandering ins as his face was scrunched when he saw the casualties that continued to rise! Many thoughts crossed his mind as the most persistent one was the thought of whether all of this was worth it. For the Gold and Diamond Rift in the Imperial Capital? Were just these things enough to make it okay for so many beings who had family back home be sacrificed? His face was cloudy as he sighed while observing the ongoing situation. "When will Warlord Steel arrive¡­" The voice was barely an audible whisper- something that even the Blessed who was sitting right next to him would not be able to hear. Yet...a resounding voice actually rang out in the mind of the Golden Commander as it caused his body to shake in excitement! "You''re this fearful, Johnny? Don''t worry, I have arrived." RUMBLE! The voice was apanied by a domineering aura appearing in the skies, this aura spreading in all directions as Commander Johnny and many others looked in the skies with excited smiles. The battles below were brought to halt as many beings looked towards the dark skies to notice...a pristine White aura spreading out! An aura so white and clear as it seemed like an erupting milky cloud, this aura bringing with it boisterousughter as it thundered towards the Battalions of the Light Continent. Many beings turned fearful at this scene as shouts began to resound across the battlefield, shouts that called the identity of the being tearing through the skies! "DIAMOND¡­!" "A Diamond Ranked Expert¡­!" RUMBLE! Hysterical shouts erupted out as the forces of the Light Continent saw the enemy send out a DIAMOND expert, this light of this terrifying being about to reach them as they scrambled to get out of the way! Yet before a massacre could ur, a vibrant voice reverberated across the Wandering ins as another aura that was even more oppressive erupted out. "Warlord Steel, you are still just as vile even after all these years." RUMBLE! The voice came with an overpowering aura that stopped the advance of the DIAMOND Rank Expert from the side of the Wild Continent, the figure of a middle aged man dressed in white robes floating in the skies as his eyes shone with a sharp light! "You¡­!" Warlord Steel''s face turned sour as the surprise attack from him that should have caused the downfall of many Golden Commanders from the Light Continent and win this battle was erased to nothing with the appearance of a certain Commander. "Protector Chen!" "The Impartial Protector!" Shots of happiness erupted from the hearts of the Silver and Golden Commander from the Light Continent, calling the name of the powerful being appearing in the skies! "You actually seem surprised that I could be here to stop your tant bullying of those a rank lower than you? Pathetic what you have be after all these years, Steel!" RUMBLE! The face of Protector Chen shone with glorious light as his body erupted with power the skies being dyed white as two DIAMOND Blessed were about to sh for the first time since the war began. From the side of the Dark and Wild Continent, it was a being that took the title of a [Warlord] to signify his terrifying power at DIAMOND, while from the Light Continent there was a [Protector] that shone with an illustrious light! OOOOH! In the skies above the Wandering ins, a shocking battle erupted out as the being that had a hand in causing it...was silently finishing up the Dimensional Rifts of City 1. In the past hours, he had sessfully gone across the Gold Blessed of Cities 4-1,? sessfully taking them down through a myriad of means! Whether through using the Subjugated Blessed of previous Cities that they were familiar with, or causing a smallmotion of battles breaking out that ended in less than a minute...through any means necessary, Noah continued unhindered as he neared his objective silently! This was how after more than half the night had passed, all the Cities that had been under the control of the forces of the Dark and Wild Continent...they were now under him as he controlled the strongest GOLD defenders residing in these cities. SHAA! His figure and the figure of multiple Blessed were teleported out of the Silver Rift of City 1 as around the encampment, there was not a soul in sight but another Gold Blessed whose eyes shed with a blue light, the usual guards that watched over the encampment being sent away as Noah''s figure was not seen by a single being! With the Gold Blessed in tow, Noah looked like a king walking in front of his subjects as he turned around to stare at the silver rift portal behind him. This single rift held great significance, as it was thest Rift Noah had to clear in the 10 Subjugated Cities...this Rift bringing to a close the shocking reality of him having taken over the strongest subjugated of all these Cities as he now had all of their Rifts on Idle Mode. From the 4 new Cities, Noah had added 39 new Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode as with the past 63...it granted him a total of 102 Rifts in Idle Mode! A shocking number! And one that promised wondrous possibilities. For these rifts, the average timer for Iron Rifts came to 5 minutes, the Bronze Rifts came to 6 minutes, and the Silver Rifts had a gorgeous average clear time of 11 minutes. With such a thing being over and done with, Noah felt his heart being immensely at ease as all he had to do from this point was wait for a ridiculous amount of loot toe to him. With a heart brimming with achievement, Noah''s smile only deepened when he received information from a certain Gold Blessed he had sent to deliver shocking news to the forces of the Light Continent. Of course, it was the Golden Commander Oden that he stationed to watch the unfolding situation of the battle in the Wandering ins, this being letting him know that the development of two DIAMOND experts appearing in the skies of the Wandering ins! Such a battle was extremely interesting to Noah as after he achieved his goal, he cast [Remote Control] to borrow the sight of Commander Oden. He wanted to understand the power of the most powerful enemies he would face in the Ethereal Realm...the beings standing powerfully in the Rank of DIAMOND! Chapter 76 - The Mantis Stalks The Cicada... The situation at the Wandering ins was extremely horrific as at this moment, the battle between two DIAMOND Level experts was shaking the very skies of the already bloody battlefield! Multiple shes of milky white could be seen every second in the skies as this scene was ryed to multiple forces. ?? One was deep in the Dark Continent, where within a grand hall, a certain king was looking upon this scene with cold eyes as a gruff voice came from themunication medallion beside him! "How is this possible?! Choosing to send a DIAMOND level expert was something they never could have guessed!" The expression of the Dark King was sour as he listened to the angry voice of the Ruler of the Wild Continent. "Either that fool is a lot more prepared than we believed, or this information was... leaked to their forces!" RUMBLE! A shocking assertion wasid out as silence prevailed in the grand hall. "You think I would leak news of one of my strongest forces entering the stage?!" RUMBLE A conflict was nearly about to erupt as the Dark King shook his head and replied. "No. Which is why it''s so perplexing. You know me and what I want, I would never jeopardize something like this. So who¡­" A question that could never be answered wasid out as the Rulers of two Continents looked at the scene withplex eyes, the battle between Diamond experts only heating up in the skies of the Wandering ins! In their eyes, even though this battle was unexpected and unnned for, it carried immense significance as it would show the gulf of power between those in the Light Continent who had ess to the DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift versus the experts from their continents that had stalled in their progress while honing their power after they lost their privilege to enter the highest Rift of the Ethereal Realm! Thus, the scene of this battle was being observed with immense scrutiny! This same scene was being watched by a certain Crown Prince that was surrounded by many figures in a hall who were also monitoring the situation. His eyes were shining with a sharp light as the news that was shared with them had actually turned out to be true, his thoughts moving rapidly as he wondered if the being that should have been high up in the ranks of the enemy army to be able to have ess to information such as this! The perplexing question was...why would they share it? ''Is there a Commander within their ranks that is sympathetic to the Light Continent? Just what exactly¡­'' Many beings were searching for answers amidst the shocking development, but while there was perplexion in the eyes of the Crown Prince, there was also a light of confidence when he looked at the scene disyed in a huge mirror that depicted the shocking battle continuing above the Wandering ins. "Even I haven''t been able to win against Uncle during spars...you think a DIAMOND Blessed that hasn''t had ess to the Rift within my city for the past tens of years will be able to stand against him?" RUMBLE! The Crown Prince looked at the scene ying out coldly as he believed with certainty that his Uncle, the one known as Protector Chen...would be able to defeat his enemy with out any issues! This was because he was the Impartial Protector of the Light Continent, a being that was one of the leading figures that took teams to clear the Diamond Rank Dimensional Rift within the Imperial Capital! BOOM! The sh in the skies was bing even more hectic as we get to thest being watching this scene from far away. Noah was utilizing Remote Control as he borrowed the body of Commander Oden who was hidden silently among the ranks of soldiers from the Dark Continent, experiencing the shocking battle of beings a level above gold as their might...was terrifying! It felt like bombs exploding every time that the two figures shed, with skills that covered a wide range of distance erupting out every now and then. Warlord steel shone with a red light as fire elements swirled around him, his white aura creating a beautiful scene in the dark sky as he was like antern that lit up the darkness! "What Impartial Protector?! You''re merely a tool that hogs the treasures of this Realm from everyone else!" RUMBLE! The body of Warlord Steel thrummed with power as he shot back like a streak of white light, ring at Protector Chen with a hateful look as he raised his hands up and called forth powerfully. [Devouring me Tornadoes]. WAA! The skies brightened to a crimson color at these words, red lines descending from the skies around Protector Chen as they quickly bloomed into terrifying swirls of mes that caused the very air to turn blurry! The swirling mes formed into terrifying crimson tornadoes that threatened to scorch the skies, entirely eclipsing the figure of Protector Chen as it seemed anyone would be burned into nothingness with the cast of this skill! Yet...the face of the Impartial Protector was cid as while tornadoes of mes threatened to overwhelm him, he called out calmly. [Wrath of the Lightning King]. TRHUM! A single cast of a skill, and the crimson skies that threatened to scorch everything were brought to a halt. Above the Impartial Protector,rge arcs of blue lightning began to descend down, each one being multiple meters wide as they thundered down with terrifying power to strike the forming hellish tornadoes. They vibrated with power as more and more enormous pirs of lightning descended down, drowning the hellish tornadoes and even thundering towards Warlord Steel who held an ashen expression in the face of one of his strongest skills being broken! "I have delved into the very Rift you and your ragtag group of traitors are aiming for...and I have grown much strongerpared to years ago!" OOOM! The power of Protector Chen continued to explode out as after the cast of a powerful skill that dispelled horrendous tornadoes of mes, his voice light rang out as his body glimmered with light. "Do not even think you can step foot in the Imperial Capital to obtain such a thing. [Wrath of the Lightning King]!" RUMBLE! The shocking skill was cast twice as the rain of enormous arcs of lightning continued, the sky turning blue and brightening up the dark night. Noah was able to see this spectacr skill first hand as he observed a DIAMOND expert overwhelm another with a skill that even caused the skies to change color and quake. This was the power of a being above gold...the power of the strongest Rank that beings within the Ethereal Realm currently achieved when putting aside the past fallen Ethereal Emperor! It was the wondrous power at DIAMOND Rank! The eyes of Commander Oden that Noah was watching this scene through shone brightly, Noah actually not feeling even an ounce of fear as he actually looked towards such a scene while imagining himself standing against such beings. He saw himself standing on the same stage as them as never again would anybody stand above him and look at him like a mere bug to be stepped on! WAA! In the skies, the figure of Warlord Steel was flung out from the field of raging arcs of lightning as he looked disheveled, the Golden Commanders of the armies of the Dark and Light Continent looking at this with ashen faces. Meanwhile, the battalions of the Light Continent cheered out at the scene while theirmanders gave them the bellows to charge forward! OOOOH! Rejuvenated and filled with the taste of victory, the forces of the Light Continent moved forward while the battalions from the Dark and Wild Continent moved back. The Warlord from their side could not stand against the Impartial Protector of the Light Continent, and this meant a defeat for them as their armies retreated! "You sully the name of Protector! Merely a part of the thieves holding the treasures of our Realm to themselves!" RUMBLE The figure of Warlord Steel retreated slowly with a sorry figure as he let out hateful words while looking towards Protector Chen that continued unhindered with an impassive face. The demeanor of the victor was clear as the majesty of a DIAMOND expert was only disyed by a single being, the other merely buying time for the two armies below to retreat while trying to keep his life! Noah looked at this scene as many thoughts swam in his mind, being shown just how quickly things could change during a battle of powerful experts as he canceled Remote Control and left Commander Oden to observe the end of the bloody battle. Soon enough, the details of the events of the Wandering ins would spread out across the three Continents...the might of the Light Continent and those that termed themselves Ethereal Royals making their power known brilliantly once more! Chapter 77 - Unware Of The Oriole Behind! The shocking results of the battle at the Wandering ins spread out as many got to see the power that the Light Continent kept under their banner- the power of the Impartial Protector that could obliterate all challenges! The armies of the Dark and Wild Continent were forced to pull back,ing towards the region of the 10 subjugated Cities as they sought to reorganize and recuperate. ?? The Impartial Protector had also spent a great deal of his battle power topletely overwhelm Warlord Steel, this powerful being not choosing to take the risk of having a battle to the dead while he went towards the enemy territory, staying behind with the battalions of the Light Continent to celebrate their victory! With the might of the Light Continent on disy, a depressive cloud hung over the forces of the Dark and Wild Continents as thousands of injured Blessed filled into the subjugated cities! The powerful Warlord Steel that had been on the losing side of the battle against Protector Chen was among those that retreated into a City...this being not knowing anything about the change in leadership of the Cities that had urred practically overnight. --- "Overseeing 10 Cities that are half-filled with Blessed from other Continents¡­" In Academy City, Annalise and Rose were discussing Noah''s shocking feats in the past 2 days as they looked towards the Gold Blessed in front of them he was utilizing through Remote Blessed. Rose''s eyes were sharp as she voiced out. "You can''t control the Silver Blessed like the ones within this city?" Her words caused Annalise''s eyes to shine as Noah spoke from the mouth of the subjugated Blessed. "That numbers would be in the thousands of Silver Blessed to Subjugate. I''m not currently strong enough for that yet...maybe if I reach DIAMOND Rank in theing week or two." ¡­! He spoke of something bnce shattering as stepping into the Diamond Rank in a week or two, the two girls looking towards him with agape expressions as he continued! "With the control of those at the top, we might just be able to reform those below¡­" Her words caused Rose to think back to the forces of the Imperial Capital as she came out of her shock and spoke out slowly. "From my experience, they are fighting for food and power. If we can give them this...we can easily control them!" She thought of the overabundance of loot that Noah had disyed for them before, looking to fully tighten the influence over the subjugated cities this way! "Possibly- oh?" Noah had been speaking when he came to a stop, the expression of the Blessed he controlled changing as a devilish smile appeared on his face. "It seems the retreating armies have reached and settled into my cities, and with an injured? DIAMOND Blessed in tow¡­" ...! A terrifying smile settled onto Noah''s face as he seemed to be deep in thought, the two girls staring at each other with concerned eyes as Annalise was the one to speak! "Brother, you''re not thinking of attacking the DIAMOND Warlord right? Even while injured¡­" The little sister was concerned for her brother at even the thought of facing one of the beings on the current peak stage of this Realm! Yet Noah merely looked towards her while speaking with an expression of conviction. "He is injured from the battle with that Impartial Protector, and my power...is much different than what it was just two days ago!" These words were backed with strength and confidence as at this moment, Noah had a full team of GOLD Rift Bosses on top of multiple Gold Blessed under him! If he utilized all of these forces correctly...he truly believed an injured DIAMOND Rank expert might actually fall in his hands. To make such a thing into a reality, he moved rapidly as he told the girls not to worry. The first thing he did...was to sendmands to all the GOLD Blessed he had subjugated from the 10 Cities aside from the single one that he left behind in Academy City to protect his sister and Rose, the number of this GOLD Blesseding out to 23! Some of the cities had 3 Gold Blessed overseeing them instead of two, and Noah could now utilize a force of 23 Gold Blessed. The retreating armies of the Dark and Wild Continent hade towards Cities 3, 4, and 5- these cities being closer to each other as they were only a few tens of miles away from the Wandering ins. Here, the armies nned to recuperate and resupply, while the injured DIAMOND expert descended onto City 4 to tend to his injuries while waiting for orders on how to move after their devastating defeat! Noah knew this as when the forces of the Dark and Wild began to retreat, he made sure that the subjugated Blessed that should have been overseeing Cities 3 through 5 returned to their original locations to handle the iing forces. Because of this, he knew exactly where the tired goldenmanders that led the battalions were in each of the cities, as well as the mansion that Warlord Steel- the DIAMOND Ranked Blessed, was recuperating in! To entertain his idea of sneak attacking this expert and actuallye out sessful, Noah began with the tired Golden Commanders that were spread out across Cities 3,4, and 5, choosing to increase the number of Blessed he controlled if it was even for a little as he increased the number of powerful experts he could utilize. He was on a time crunch as he also did not want to give Warlord Steel too much time to recuperate, so after he was able to use his forces toy out silent attacks and subjugate 8 more Golden Commanders that were worn out from the battle in the Wandering ins, he began to silently move towards City 4- towards the mansion that Warlord Steel was recuperating in! He had 31 GOLD Blessed move in a circr ring towards the city, each of them having already been given Mana, Health, Attack, and Defense potions as their bodies pulsed with power. Meanwhile, Noah himself was in the skies as he nned for a terrifying sneak attack that would involve the instantaneous cast of horrendously powerful abilities from 6 Rift Bosses, this being just the first surprise he would deliver before 31 Gold Blessed moved in to release even more shocking surprises! --- In a certain mansion within City 4. Warlord Steel had cleared out the whole majestic building as he made it his abode to heal from his heavy injuries, the abilities of the Impartial Protector having dealt significant damage to his body that would take days to heal from! "How did they know?! Just how did they know?!" RUMBLE! The area around him shook as his body released powerful waves of power, his milky white mana at the DIAMOND Rank going on to heal his injuries ever so slowly as he questioned how everything went down. He felt as if his own forces had sent him into a trap as when he was tasked withing to the Wandering ins, he was told it would be a smooth mission to win the second major battle for the war that would decide the fate of the Ethereal Realm! "s¡­" Steel sighed with mncholy as he felt the state of his body, but in the next second...his senses that he had honed for 10 of years warned him of great danger! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Horrendous and destructive elements of mana thundered towards his position deep in the mansion from the skies, elements of Aether and Light being the most overpowering as they utterly destroyed the structure of the mansion and smashed down onto the figure of the DIAMOND Ranked expert! These attacks were only the first round as when Warlord Steel rose from the rubble angrily with his body spasming as destructive elements of Aether still attacked him, even more of them thundered down. "Who-" BOOM! Like the sky was breaking, like multiple bombs exploding...the peace of City 4 was destroyed as horrendous vibrations and sounds spread throughout! They were caused from [Scorching Light Rays] of two Congrant Pegasi and the [Destructive Rays] of the Aether Half-Dragons, terrifying damage drowning the single figure of the injured DIAMOND expert as he was battered to the ground, the mansion he stood in bing a mere depression on the ground as only a flicker of milky white could be seen beneath. The surprise attack that came when Warlord Steel was just recuperating...had unexpectedly injured him a great deal more as his face was grim while being protected by his milky white mana! In the early hours of the morning after the shocking battle in the Wandering ins, terrifying attacks thundered down the center of City 4 as a DIAMOND Ranked expert was besieged by unknown enemies, brilliant purple and golden lights raining from the skies as those who would be lucky enough to see the sight would only remember it as something glorious! Chapter 78 - Unwilling To Submit! THRUM! The second round of the raining attacks left a single figure covered by a milky white light among the rubble of a mansion. Warlord steel had a grim expression as he sensed the fast paced changes around him! ?? ''Those attacks...are at the peak of GOLD Rank as they can nearly enter the DIAMOND Rank in power! Having so many thrown towards me at once in my injured state¡­'' The thoughts of the DIAMOND expert were tumultuous as he faced a shocking sneak attack in an area his enemies should have had no prior knowledge of, his eyes turning towards the skies where the attacks came from as he didn''t manage to see anything- his trained eyes only being able to pick up a glimmer of an enormous winged creature! Yet what he truly should have been paying attention to...were the tens of smaller figures that had begun to encircle him on all sides! Warlord Steel''s expression became more and more grim as his body urged out his remaining power, knowing he had to defeat the enemies that popped up as soon as possible if he didn''t want anything to go wrong. RUMBLE! But this was when he felt multiple auras at the Gold Ranke towards his position, his careful eyes bing jubnt as it was the faces of Blessed from the Wild Continent he knew as well as the Blessed that had the insignia of the bloody crown being pierced by a golden sword. Yet in the next second, his experienced mind sang out rm bells as his senses picked up more than 10 GOLD Ranked Blessed rush towards him, the nearest ones about to reach him releasing their most powerful attacks as many more of them were swarming towards him in a circr formation! "What the fuck is this?!" RUMBLE! As the most powerful strikes of GOLD Blessed began to rush towards him, the heavily injured DIAMOND Rank expert bellowed out as the entire city and it''s blessed became aware of something shocking happening within the center of the city. Something such as the besiegement of a DIAMOND Ranked expert was extremely hard to hide! Yet for the sake of taking down such a high caliber of an expert...Noah epted the momentarymotion! BOOM! Like golden flickering lights, multiple GOLD Blessed rushed towards Warlord Steel as their bodies shone with powerful skills, the milky white mana that protected this injured expert wrapping around his body as he defended against theing attacks! "What is this?! What are you all doing?!" The face of Warlord Steel became grimmer at every second as he counter attacked and punched out to only push one GOLD Blessed away, but a new one took their ce a secondter as they tried tond deadly attacks on his body. "Fools!" RUMBLE! The surroundings quaked as fire elements converged, Warlord Steel casting the devastating skill he had used against the Impartial Protector as Fiery tornadoes began to form around them! The moment these tornadoes formed, all the GOLD Blessed synonymously moved back as they dodged the terrifying tornadoes of mes, one being unlucky enough to be swept by one as his body began to swirl in hellish mes. Yet all others pulled back as the face of Warlord Steel became grim, and this was because as the Blessed pulled back, the auras that were in the skies reappeared to rain down scorching rays of light and deadly rays of Aether at his position! BOOM! BOOM! The attacks were relentless as he was given no chance to even rest, the milky white mana surrounding him flickering as he found himself forced to his knees while defending against these outrageous attacks. His face was livid as he wanted to see just which enemies would dare to do this in the skies, bellowing out as he began to take to the skies! OOOOH! With the cry of an expert, his burst of speed caused him to instantly appear in the skies as the scene became clear, his eyes constricting as he became face to face with the image of a magisterial Aether Half-Dragon. A Half-Dragon! THRUM! The purple mana around the Draconic Rift Boss swirled as a wondrous cage paling with Aether descended around the shocked figure of the DIAMOND Expert. This was the cast of [Aether Cage]! And it came in two as a secondter, yet another cage ovepped with the currentlyid out one as tendrils of lightning stretched out to attack the single being within the cage, the auras of two more Rift Bosses that had peak GOLD Rank auras nearly spilling over into the next rank also appearing in the skies as all four directions were covered by the aerial beasts! The heart of Warlord Steel palpated at this scene as he shockingly found he shouldn''t have taken to the skies. Up here, the enemies were actually masters of the Sky as the moment the Aether Cages wereid down, the elements of Light and Aether raged down tyrannically as they struck the single figure of the DIAMOND expert! BOOM! BOOM! Numerous attacks wrecked the body of the already injured being as he struggled to defend and gasp for breath inside, his body bing charred as it only pulled with a weK milky white light. "Vile creatures!" His terrifying shout that held a tinge of fear at only being able to receive deadly attacks without being able to retaliate rang out, his body shining out a brilliant light- a light that was like thest flicker of a dying sun that went on to shatter the Cage of Aether as the figure of Warlord Steel shot towards another direction in the city! BOOM! Yet he came across 10 Good Blessed with impassive eyes that blocked his path and thundered down already prepared attacks, knocking down his body that was nearly drained into the streets of the City where Silver and Bronze Blessed were fearfully beginning to gather to see what situation was urring. His figure ragged and breathing heavy, Warlord Steel barely stood up before he felt another Aether Cage descend down the figures of multiple GOLD Blessed appearing within as they moved with shining weapons to smash into him! SQUELCH! Horrifying sounds began to emanate out as the defenses of a DIAMOND Expert began to be pierced through, sword d in mes or ice and arrows tinged with lightning smashing into his body as blood freely began to overflow. The breath of Steel was ragged as his experienced eyes looked at the Gold Blessed surrounding him and dealing him deadly attacks. Each of them had impassive looks on their faces as he knew many of them! This was especially so for the ones from the Wild Continent, where many of them he had spared or trained in the past as they prepared to move out to face the Light Continent! Yet these same beings and those from the Dark Continent had impassive faces as their eyes flickered with a blue light, not answering any of his questions as they only moved to rip apart the defenses he was trying to set up. His experienced eyes had many theories as he picked up on what was going on! "Fucking idiots, falling into the control of someone else! What did he offer you? What was enough for you to betray your mothend?!" THRUM! The DIAMOND expert tried to muster up his drained essence to rise up, but the swarm of GOLD Blessed thundered down attacks even faster as when he least expected it, more destructive rays of Aether and scorching light rays rained down from the skies and wrecked his boy even more! When the scene cleared, one could see a mutted expert who had not been able to defend his entire body as his right arm was currently a stump- the entirety of it ripped off as his eyes were the only thing remaining with a shining light. "I''ll offer you the same thing I offered them." RUMBLE! In the midst of this, a calm voice rang out as Steel turned his tired and mutted body to see the culprit who caused all this, but he only found the impassive eyes of GOLD Blessed that surrounded him! He dragged his bloodied body around as heughed despairingly. "Haha, and what would that be, you coward who won''t even show himself?" Everywhere he turned, only the impassive Blessed could be seen as they surrounded him and reached out, multiple of them holding on to his remaining three limbs as one put his hands on the head of this expert, his hands pulsing with Fire elements as he could release them to heavily mess up the head of this expert in a split second! The reply Warlord Steel asked for came, and it was one that would cause a chill to run down anyone''s heart as his experienced eyes saw a Gold Blessed from the Wild Continent he was familiar with speak out with an impassive face in front of him. "Your life. I will offer you to keep your life." ¡­! Steel observed the Blessed as even though he had the same face as the one he knew, he had entirely different eyes as the body of the expert felt the increasing injuries and slumped down! "I see." His hoarse voice rang out as blood freely flowed from his body. His eyes turned cid as he seemed to be thinking of a myriad of things before they finally focused on the Blessed speaking in front of him. With thest power he could muster, he spoke. "I don''t know who you are, or how you''ve managed to do all this...but I am not someone that you can control." RUMBLE! The air and demeanor of an expert that had lived too long came out from the eyes of the mutted being, shining a brilliant white light as he began tough out loudly! "Unlike these fools around me, I know Death would be better than bing a mindless fool under a scheming creature like you!" ¡­! The eyes of the Blessed surrounding him remained cing as far above in the skies on top of a Congrant Pegasus, Noah looked towards the position of the encirclement below as when the words of this expert ended, brilliant white milky light erupted out as the mutted body of this being ballooned out eerily...before it exploded in a terrifying st of blood and gore that pushed out all the Blessed near him! "Haha!" The chillingughter of this expert could barely be discerned as it was released right before the implosion of his body, resounding out as it caused Noah''s face to be grim while he watched the scene below. Shockingly, he was sessful in taking down a terrifying expert as he heavily reduced the battle power of his enemies, but his face was grim as he felt like he took a loss! In the face of death, the DIAMOND Ranked being was fearless as he chose to embrace it rather than be controlled by him! ¡­! Chapter 79 - Consolidate! The surroundings of the devastated area calmed down as the results revealed themselves, the bodies of over 10 Blessed that were in the surroundings of thest st Warlord Steel released being heavily injured as one even lost his life! Noah considered it a heavy loss as he wasn''t able to obtain a Subjugated DIAMOND Blessed at the end of it all, but at the same time the shocking reality of him being able to take down one of the most powerful experts of the Ethereal Realm settled in. ?? Granted he was injured and heid out a sneak attack! The event...was still of immense significance! In the skies, he looked at the surrounding rubble and the figures of Blessed making their way over to understand the scene, sendingmands to the uninjured Gold Blessed to move out and quell themotion as others weremanded to secure the area and make sure no news of what had just urred here spread. The collision between Noah and the Diamond Ranked Warlord had taken just a few minutes, only the Silver level Blessed trying to make their way towards the perimeter that Noah locked down as the vast majority of beings were unable to see anything! But Noah still left behind 5 Gold Blessed to clear up themotion he caused as well as ensure news about it was not ryed outside, using the identities of the subjugated Blessed as Golden Commanders to establish orders as none of the Blessed theymanded could have even imagined that their higher ups were under someone else''s control. "What a waste¡­!" Noah sighed in the skies as he looked at the decimation below, sendingmands to the Congrant Pegasus to make his way back to Academy City while returning the Gold Blessed he utilized back into their own Cities. For the period that followed...he had to consolidate the power he had gathered and obtained, with the cities within his hands not being under the influence of the Dark or Wild Continent as he now had to make sure the same atrocities were not done under him. THRUUM! He crossed the skies rapidly as he appeared from a sh of golden light above the Vi he upied and used as amand center in Academy City, a myriad of Blessed going in and out of this Vi in droves as they carried outmands of two girls. Rose was taking the lead as she had experience from the Imperial Capital and had watched the Ethereal Royals rule, Noah choosing to dump the majority of the work that had to be done for the next days onto her and Annalise while he cleared the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Elemental Rifts! "Brother!" His figure flew down from the skies and into the balcony of the vi as Annalise saw him from the hall,ing towards her older brother with worry and seeing he was perfectly fine. Noah smiled towards her as he patted her head. "I told you not to worry. We were able to take care of one of the strongestbatants we would have faced, even though I wasn''t able to make him join the ranks of people I control!" His words caused Annalise to look towards him in shock and wonder as she nced over his body up and down, shaking her head as the two of them walked into the hall where Rose was surrounded bymunication medallions and papers that detailed too many things! Noah nodded towards this Ethereal Princess that had a strong expression, the silver hair dancing to her shoulders glimmering from the morning light. Noah''s voice rang out towards her and Annalise as he looked around the hall. "I''ll leave it to you guys to manage the subjugated cities in the next day or two before we move forward. It would have been infinitely hard of a task...but you have my subjugated Gold Blessed tomand! Just say what you want for any of the Gold Blessed in Cities 1 through 10 by giving themand to Stephon or any of the other subjugated blessed, and thismand will be passed on¡­" Noah gave the girls directions as in the next second, he waved his hands to release things from his inventory. WAA! Waves of mana emanate out as thousands of peak Silver Cores that glimmered like mountains were brought out, along with tens of thousands of Bronze Cores, Equipment, and Skill Books! "Use these as you see fit, we''ll have even more of them in the future. And for you two¡­" After causing a mountain of loot to appear with a mere wave of his hands, the two girls were already looking towards him in a stupor as he turned to them and caused 10 Gold Cores to appear in front of each of them, along with 2 gloriously shining Gold Rank Equipment! "...use these to step into the Gold Rank. You''ll need all the power you can get your hands on for the days toe!" The girls looked towards him with shining eyes as Annalise put down the glimmering gold cores and came in front of Noah, pulling her older brother into her arms as she spoke with a voice that was filled with care. "You''ve worked hard, Brother. All the cities unjustly taken over, we''re now in the process of taking them back and establishing order. From the lowest ranks of Blessed, you''ve now risen all the way to Gold as you can even give out resources of such a level! You''ve worked hard¡­" Tears fell out of the girl''s eyes as she held her brother, thinking of events days ago when they lost their parents! Her expression only became firmer as time passed, looking into Noah''s deep blue eyes as she continued. "You''ve worked hard, so please take a step back to realize it all while getting some rest. Slow down just for a second!" Noah looked into the eyes of the caring girl as he nodded, realizing he actually had not slept at all for the past days as he moved from cities and into the Tower or Shattered Realms. His stronger soul and power made it so that he had more resistance when it came to exhaustion, but he still had not reached the point of power where he didn''t need to worry about food or sleep! He looked towards Annalise and Rose who was nodding in agreement, Noah giving the girls a light smile as he left them to carry out a mountain of work while he retreated into one of the grand rooms of the vi. His back hitting thefortable bed within, his eyes didn''t take long before they closed as he was lulled into the realm of sleep. The unknown Ruler that had moved in haste without any rest in the past days finallyid down to rest as his actions...were causing wide ranging consequences at this moment! Hours passed as many pieces moved in ce. The Light Continent bathed in their victory for the battle of the Wandering ins as they stopped the advancement of enemy forces, while the Dark and Wild Continent were still reeling from the defeat as in a certain hall of a majestic castle deep in the heart of the Dark Continent, the Dark King had a cold expression as he listened to the Communication Medallion beside him! "I haven''t been able to reach Steel for the past hours, and when I checked with the Golden Commanders that returned with him...they actually weren''t able to find him in the ce he had locked himself in to recover!" RUMBLE! The words caused the eyes of the Dark King to turn into slits, his voice ringing out in return. "Since that Protector Chen didn''t follow and our forces didn''t see anymotion, your Warlord might have just chosen to take time in istion to heal from his injuries! It just means we''ve lost a piece that we could have used when the full scale war urred." "This full scale war...sigh." The words of the Ruler of the Wild Continent ended with a sigh as he seemed contemtive! "Is all this death and bloodshed worth it? Just to regain ess to the Diamond Rift within that city for hope of breaking through into the tinum Rank?" The words were filled with tiredness, causing the eyes of the Dark King that heard them to shine with a light of brutality and disappointment as his voice rang out calmly. "We''ve alreadye this far for our goals. For a better future of our people...remember?! We do not want to be stuck as frogs in the bottom of the well that is the Ethereal Realm. There is a vast world outside of this filled with even more opportunities. For us to reach those opportunities...we have to break through to the rank of PLATINUM and gain the capability of leaving this Realm to obtain greater possibilities!" RUMBLE! "Only then can we gain enough power to bring happiness to the subjects we rule...and we have to move with even more care to not end up like our glorious Ethereal Emperor that was taken out the moment he stepped out of this well that is our Realm¡­" A shocking truth behind the aims of the forces of the Dark and Wild Continent was revealed, a truth that shed light on what the forces of the Light Continent were doing, and why exactly the past Ethereal Emperor that had reached the rank of PLATINUM had fallen! Chapter 80 - A Dream Of Sweeping Across The Continents With Diamond Bosses! The conversation between two Rulers ended as the Dark King stayed within the gorgeous halls of his castle while thinking of many things. His eyes were filled with an unknown light as he seemed to have finally made a decision, his lips moving lightly as he spoke to no one in particr! ?? "At the end of it all, this war was always going to be won by those in the DIAMOND Rank¡­" The eyes of the Dark King were filled with coldness as he said this, his voice continuing to ring out as he grabbed multiplemunications medallions and ced mana into each of them. "Jon, Cali, Visalia...prepare your Legions. We y with battalions of Silver and Gold for thest time. After this battle...the next one shall include Legions being led by DIAMOND Blessed!" RUMBLE! A shocking message was passed from the Dark King to his people, a message that called not for a pause or end of the war, but due to the desperation this being felt...an eleration of it! He rose upon his throne as he slowly walked towards the end of it, staring at a glorious white armor that was disyed there to show off the power that the Dark King could wield. His hands moved towards this armor as ck mana brought it towards him, its glistening surfacending on his hand as he stroked it with sharp eyes. The white armor released powerful fluctuations as it wasn''t in the Silver or Gold Rank...but DIAMOND! "You shall be worn until your color is dyed red again, my friend." RUMBLE! Waves of power spread out as a Ruler from one region prepared while passing the news to his allies and getting his forces ready. In the meantime, a Shadow Ruler that had arisen in the midst of Subjugated Cities received this news just hours after the deration of the Dark King, the Gold Blessed under him being sent the news to prepare as in less than a week, Legions that were multiple timesrger than any of the battalions would descend towards the Light Continent, these Legions led by the terrifying experts at the level of DIAMOND! It was horrendous news that would have even made the Commanders and Protectors of the Light Continent despair, but not the being that had received news about it the quickest! Noah stood upon the balcony of the vi he was in as after getting to rest after days of moving he woke up to the news of Legions and the DIAMOND experts that would be leading them. Yet even in the midst of this news, he was fearless as his eyes shone brightly blue, many thoughts crossing his mind! ''Less than a week for the Legions being prepared to arrive...they don''t know what I can do in a week!'' WAA! A domineering light erupted from Noah at this thought, but it was true! He knew that since the forcesing would be taking days before they even stationed themselves in this location before making their way deeper into the Light Continent, many things could change before then. After all, he had gone from nothing and into a Gold Blessed controlling a team of GOLD Rift Bosses in less than 2 weeks. 2 weeks! It utterly broke the rules of the Ethereal Realm or any other Realm within this Universe for that matter, and Noah knew he could do such a thing again! The pressure of his Inherent Skill ||Telekic Emperor|| was released unconsciously as tendrils of light began to shine from his eyes, his voice bringing out with rity. "I just need to climb the Tower and Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts until I reach the levels that hand out DIAMOND Rewards. After that, what army or Legion of beings that are fighting against a single DIAMOND Rift going to do to me?" THRUM! Mana pulsed around him as such wild thoughts crossed his mind, and he moved to act on them right away as his body disappeared from the balcony of the Vi! He had already talked with Annalise and Rose as they managed the movement of the subjugated Gold Blessed to monitor everything with the subjugated cities, and he would be putting his focus on the features of the Idle Gaming System while waiting for another half a day to pass before he collected Loot Resources from the 102 Rifts. He finished them all in the night of the day prior, and now the sun was about to go down again as over half a day had passed. When the 24 hour mark hit, Noah could click on the Rifts he worked hard to collect as the boons would be stupendous! It would be enough Idle Exp to unlock the next upgrade of the System, and enough resources to form another Gold Unit. It was due to these resources he would soon be receiving and what he nned to do in the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts that he wasn''t the least bit scared of the forming Legions! It was because in less than a week, he dreamed of already getting his hands on a DIAMOND Unit¡­ if not a party of such creatures! RUMBLE He appeared in the Waiting Room where an enormous ck Towery to his left while another tower pulsating with the Purple light of Aethery gorgeously to his right. He waved his hands as the shocking figures of two Aether Half-Dragons, two Congrant Pegasi, a Frost Basilisk, and a Light Equipment Guardian all appeared with a glorious light! "Let''s go towards DIAMOND, shall we?" ¡­! With a goal set in his mind, Noah acted right away as he delved into the 55th floor that he knew would be bound with immense difficulty. He had been facing Gold Ranked Elven Rift Bosses protecting Fortress in the past floors, and the 55th floor went above that as he wasn''t given a fortress...but an entire City! [Defeat the Rulers of the Elven City to clear the 55th floor.] A simple prompt appeared in his mind as he looked at the tall city walls for from where they had appeared, an entire City of beings appearing that he had to clear before he could leave. Within, he could feel the aura of 5 Gold Rift Bosses as he shook his head at the rising difficulty of the Tower, climbing atop the body of one of the powerful Aether Half-Dragons as he took his Units to descend onto the Elven City fearlessly! OOOOH! Below of war rang out from with as 5 glimmering figures from five sides of the City came out, stupendous bows and other weapons in their hands as they made way towards Noah''s appearing forces in the sky. Noah merely looked down towards them with cold eyes as he patted the back of the Aether Half-Dragon while watching the Light Equipment Guardian and the Frost Basilisk shatter the walls of the city, his eyes watching as the Half-Dragons opened their jaws to release horrendous tendrils of Aether onto the ground while the Frost Basilisk rose its head dangerously while spitting out a Frozen Breath that caused death and destruction wherever it passed! To top it all off, 2 Congrant Pegasi were eight golden lights as they tore through the skies, raining down golden Rays of scorching light as the city below them began to face decimation! [Light of Dawn] would asionally be cast from the Equipment Guardian when any injuries urred as the Elven Rift Bosses moved, but the battle began with a one sided attack and continued that way as the party that Noah had assembled was just too powerful. Noah himself had his eyes released gorgeous tendrils of blue light as his mental energy wrapped around the Gold Elven Rift Bosses, training himself and his Inherent Skills as he gained more battle experience and rose even higher. With a team full of High Tier Element Dimensional Rift Bosses, the exceedingly hard 55th floor fell within just an hour as Noab was teleported back into the Waiting Area! [Rewards for clearing the 55th Floor] :: [+20,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+100 Random Bronze Equipment], [+100,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+2500 SILVER Rank Cores], [+50 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+50,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Health Potions], [+100 Mana Potions], [+100 Defense Potions], [+100 Attack Potions], [+10 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+10 Random GOLD Equipments], [+50 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards], [+25,000 GOLD Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] A glorious level of rewards that at this point, Noah merely nced at before he turned his eyes towards the Tower again. Just the 55th floor had given him a great deal of things, with the most important being the newly appearing GOLD Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals! This was the key towards everything, the key towards the dream of Diamond Ranked Units fighting by his side. They had made their appearance from the rewards of the 55th Floor, and he would continue to collect them as in just a matter of time...he would have the required amount to max his Gold Units to the peak and fuse them to the ranks of DIAMOND! When that time came...oh when that time came! Chapter 81 - Dimensional Store And The Infinite Crucible! I For upgrading and fusing Silver Units into Gold, he needed 50,000 to max each unit for a total of 100,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals. To fully max a single unit and be able to fuse it with another, 200,000 Gold Upgrade Crystals were required to do so! It was an obscene number as it meant he had to collect 400,000 Gold Upgrade Crystals to even taste his first DIAMOND Unit. ?? But Noah was unhindered by thisrge number as he delved into the 56th floor after checking the rewards and replenishing all his units and himself with potions. His eyes also lingered on the 25 Random Gold Unit Shards that he just needed 75 more of to summon a Gold Unit, his drive to very quickly clear the upper floors of the Tower of Champions zing ever higher! The 56th floor was not as vast as the 55th, but it had simr bosses as Noah still had to take down an Elven City that had 5 Gold Rift Bosses. Having already had practice, this Elven City fell within half an hour as another set of rewards was disyed in front of his eyes. [Rewards for clearing the 56th Floor] :: [+20,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+50 Random Bronze Equipment], [+50,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+2500 SILVER Rank Cores], [+50 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+25,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Health Potions], [+100 Mana Potions], [+100 Defense Potions], [+100 Attack Potions], [+5 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+5 Random GOLD Equipments], [+50 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards], [+25,000 GOLD Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] Some rewards were slightly reduced, but many were simr to the 55th floor as the Gold Rank Unit Shards and Upgrade Crystals that were the most important to Noah remained the same! His expression remained cid as with this constant progress he was seeing, he continued into the Tower. 57th. 58th. 59th! Three more floors were cleared under his relentless assault and the terrifying team of 4 Light Rank Units and 2 of the Aether Rank! The Rift Bosses on each floor mainly remained Elven Rift Bosses, their numbers increasing to 6 on the 59th Floor as he was still able to take them down in a matter of time. But the clearing of floors 57-59th now gave him a total of 125 Random Gold Unit Shards...as well as 125,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals. These were the crystals that he needed just 75 thousand more of to fully raise the strength of a Gold Unit to the peak, and with the increasing difficulty of the floors of the tower...he forced himself to use it on the Gold Unit he nned to bring to DIAMOND Rank first! His choice was of course, his strongest offensive units so far- the Aether Half Dragons! Beginning on the 57th floor, he began to pump all the Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals onto the Aether Half Dragon as its body grew everrger while it shone with a sh of intense purple brilliance. The battle power it could release jumped up by another level as even among Rift Bosses, it was now on the extreme scale of power! This was further enhanced by the Unit being a creature with the name of a Dragon attached to it, its strength being the only thing that allowed Noah to smoothly clear the past floors! This single Aether Half Dragon that was pumped with Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals could stand against three normal Gold Rank Rift Bosses, 3 Elven Bosses having to run circles around it before they would ultimately be taken down by its terrifying attacks and purple glistening scales whose defenses could not be broken. THRUUM! Purple mana zed wildly as Noah pumped the recent 25,000 Upgrade Crystals into its body, the Unit bing even deadlier as he smiled while sitting on top of it. His eyes turned towards the 60th Floor as he was unfazed, his voice counting to ring out to his units! "Let''s go!" In the outside world, the day had already passed as Night entered, but Noah continued within the Tower as there were truly too many things he was waiting for. With a few more floors cleared, he would be able to have a single maxed Gold Unit, and if he waited just for more than half the night to pass...he would be able to collect the Idle Loot Resources that came from 102 Rifts across 10 Cities! He would be able to feast his eyes on a shocking amount of loot as the most important to him was the Idle Exp that would upgrade his System yet again. As for the other loot? He was currently saving everything else as the SILVER Unit Upgrade crystals he could use to fuse GOLD Units were currently stacked up to 164,485. With this, he could fuse another Gold Unit, and he even had 125 Random Gold Unit Shards to summon another random gold Unit! But he waited on utilizing all of these as he currently had the max 6 Party Unit he was allowed to utilize, and he could use the Silver Upgrade Crystals on a powerful Light or Aether Unit when the time came that two gold units disappeared to allow for the fusion of a Diamond one! With his mind swirling with such thoughts, he descended unto the 60th floor that was filled with Elven Rift Bosses, this time his task being increased to taking down two Elven Cities. Each of these Cities held 6 Rift Bosses, meaning Noah had to face 12 Gold Rift Bosses with his team of 6! ROAAR! The draconic roars of the Aether Half-Dragons reverberated out as Noah moved with haste to defeat a few of the Elven Rift Bosses in the first city before those from the other city came to reinforce them, barely being able to clear the floor after kiting the bosses and taking them down one by one. Under the enhanced strength of the strongest Aether Half-Dragon, even the 60th floor holding 12 Gold Rift Bosses fell! As for the rewards, they were of course abundant as it was another special 5th floor cleared since the 55th! [Rewards for clearing the 60th Floor] :: [+25,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+200 Random Bronze Equipment], [+150,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+5000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+50 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+75,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Health Potions], [+100 Mana Potions], [+100 Defense Potions], [+100 Attack Potions],[+100 Haste Potions], [+20 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+20 Random GOLD Equipments], [+250 GOLD Rank Cores], [+50 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards], [+50,000 GOLD Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+1 GOLD Rank Skill Book] Beautiful numbers that gave him another 50 thousand Gold Rank Upgrade crystals that he pumped into the Aether Half Dragon right away, only 25 thousand remaining for this Unit to enter the peak and simply wait for fusion once another Unit reached the same stage! There was also the introduction of [Haste Potions] that caused his body to vibrate with power, his speed being increased greatly as the mana circting in his body felt even more vibrant. This just went to allow him and his Units to increase their battle power as with the terrifying enhanced Aether Half Dragon in the lead, Noah put everything else aside as he continued deeper into the Tower. The 61st floor. The difficulty remained ramped up with Noah having to clear 2 Elven Cities with 12 Gold Rift Bosses simr to thest one, this floor taking him another hour before it was cleared! The Aether Half Dragon was fully maxed to the peak on this floor as it could even withstand 5 normal Gold Rift Bosses alone. ''I wouldn''t be surprised if it could match a DIAMOND Blessed at this point!'' Wild thoughts crossed Noah''s mind when he looked at the beast, the reality of Rift Bosses only being capable of being matched against 10 Blessed of the same level not applying to the Half Dragon anymore as it could even match 5 Rift Bosses! It would not be too much of a shock to Noah if it could stand against a Diamond Blessed! As for whether it could defeat one? Only time would tell¡­ The process of Noah and his units chugging Health, Mana, Attack, Defense, and Haste Potions repeated as their bodies brimmed with power, the 62nd floor being delved into fearlessly. Then the 63rd! After another hour, the 64th! Over 3 and a half hours, but three more floors were cleared as the number of Silver Upgrade Crystals Noah held stacked up to 321,455. That was three future Gold Units! The number of Gold Upgrade Crystals also reached 75,000 for the next Gold Unit, Noah choosing for it to be the other Aether Half Dragon as the fusion of these two High Tier Element Units would birth his first shockingly powerful DIAMOND Rift Boss. But after his shocking Tower run where he nearly crossed 10 floors, he came to a stop as a significant amount of hours had passed, the time being past midnight as he brought his tired body to remain in the Waiting Room while opening up the Idle Gaming System Interface! There, 102 Rifts were shining a brilliant golden loot luster that screamed towards him, 24 hours having passed for nearly all of these rifts as the rewards Noah was about to collect all at once would be something mind shattering! Chapter 82 - Dimensional Store And The Infinite Crucible! II In the Idle Gaming System Interface, Noah''s thoughts gave themand as the Idle Loot Resources from all 102 Dimensional Rifts were collected all at once! RUMBLE! ?? A brilliant golden light erupted out to cover his eyes that were then showered with many words, words that were enough to make any man break into a smile as they achieved utter happiness! IRON [+43,550 Idle Exp][+138,00 Iron Rank Cores][+2890 zing Armor]...[+4245 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]...[+289,385 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] BRONZE [+56,055 Idle Exp][+98,453 Bronze Rank Cores]....[+3,483 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]...[+260,305 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] SILVER [+28,345 Idle Exp][+30,453 Silver Rank Cores]...[+3,123 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]...[+112,384 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] "..." It was beautiful. So beautiful that Noah went speechless! The numbers were simply bnce breaking, what they truly signified being something that would cause the locals of the Ethereal Realm to question their own sanity! 30 thousand Silver Rank Cores...how many Silver Rank Blessed could be born from this? How many of such cores were even in reserve within the huge treasuries of the three Continents? Noah would be shocked if he knew that at this moment, the wealth of just 24 hours of his Idle Resources exceeded what each of the Continents of the Ethereal Realm were saving! In just a single day...the cores he held surpassed those of the nations of beings that had been living in the Ethereal Realm as its natives. What an Idle System! What overpowered possibilities! "Ah¡­!" Noah shook his head as he felt like he was breaking the bnce of this Ethereal Realm too quickly, his eyes going towards the Idle Exp that showed him obtaining over 100 thousand that he required easily. This was an action that meant wondrous things were about to appear in front of him! DING [Idle Exp requirement met. Upgrade System level?] "...upgrade!" RUMBLE! A glorious sh of light shed out front of Noah''s eyes. The luminous golden light died down only a few secondster, the Interface of the Idle Gaming System appearing in front of his eyes as it disyed what came with the upgrades! [System Sessfully Upgraded. Unlocked Dimensional Store and the Infinite Crucible. Max number of avable Units increased by 2. Idle Exp required for next level: 1,000,000.] The System underwent an Upgrade, and it brought with it not just one, but two newly unlocked features! Noah''s eyes hungrily focused on these features as their descriptions appeared. [Dimensional Store] :: Across the vast dimensions, a myriad of things can be found. The Dimensional Store is one of the junctions that connect many Dimensions, the Master of the Idle Gaming System being able to utilize it to obtain a vast amount of items in exchange for Cores. Within the Dimensional Store, anything can be bought, and anything can be sold. A feature of a dimensional store that allowed Noah to buy and sell items and cores...a bright smile appeared on his lips as he read on, nodding his head as he couldn''t wait to utilize it and finally put to use his exuberant amounts of Cores, Equipment, and Skills! His eyes then locked on to the terrifying feature termed [Infinite Crucible]. [Infinite Crucible] :: A test ofbat, perseverance, and the ingenuity of the Master of the Idle Gaming System. Within the Infinite Crucible, the Master of the Idle Gaming System will fight against increasingly powerful Waves of Dimensional Beasts. When every 10 Waves of the Infinite Crucible are sessfully cleared, the Master of the Idle Gaming System will be rewarded and given the option to leave or continue for even higher tiered rewards. Every Wave cleared grants the Master of the Idle Gaming System Crucible Points that can be utilized for Unique Loot only essible from the Dimensional Store, or utilized to grant Blessings to oneself or Curses to the Dimensional Beasts that are applied until death is met or you choose to leave. Death within the Infinite Crucible is not final, but it will lock all features of the Idle Gaming System for 10 days¡­ ¡­! Shock and rm rose in Noah''s mind as he looked at the details of this shocking feature, his heart beating ever faster as he went across all of the possibilities such a thing could bring to him! RUMBLE! The surroundings of the Waiting Room quaked as in the next moment, two new buildings rose- one beside the Tower of Champions, another beside the Shattered nes Elemental Rifts. WAA! They arrived with a glorious air as one was built to look like a pristine shop that was propped up by golden pirs, shining with a brilliant light as the words [Dimensional Store] were glowing brilliantly in front of it! Noah gulped as he turned his eyes towards the other direction, looking at the other structure that rose up as he saw a gloriously shining gate that was shining crimson red, a hazy swirling spatial light being released from this gate as it was looking extremely menacing with it rising over 20 meters. On top of this enormous red portal gateway, the words [Infinite Crucible] shone with a bright luster! Noah looked between these two things as he steeled his heart, choosing to save the best forst as he first began walking towards the Dimensional Shop. The exquisitely designed shop shone with a gold luster as Noah walked through its doors, a shining light grabbing him and teleporting him as he found himself appearing within an extremely long hall. The hall seemed to stretch for miles as on the right and left sides, shelves that rose to the skies could be seen as they contained items of varying qualities! Yet the skies were nk as only the glimmer of stars could be seen, Noahing across an astounding sight where he felt like he was in space between two never ending shelves stretched upon this hall! The area that Noah began in was lined up by Iron Rank Items, all the shelves shining with a gray luster with each of the items beingbeled IRON! Noah had an amazed expression as he walked further in, where after a few minutes he finally stepped onto the area where he could find BRONZE items, and a few minutester he found the tall shelves that stretched to the skies that werebeled GOLD! In each area, blue prompt boxes popped up anytime he stared at them, detailing what he could find in this certain area as when he focused, the full items would be shown in front of him as the shelves opened up their sections to reveal the items with a luster of wondrous light. He saw sectionsbeled [Equipment], [Skill Books], [Potions], [Food], [Unique Items], [Cursed Items]... And this was all just in the section of GOLD! Far from here, he could see the brilliant milky white luster that represented DIAMOND, and even further forward...shelves of section pulling with a purple luster that represented PLATINUM! WAA! Noah felt his heart beat faster as he forced himself not to stare at things he couldn''t even buy, restraining his gaze on the GOLD sections as he explored what he could get. Under Equipment, a gorgeous line up of armors and weapons of all normal elements were listed, their prices not being anything to worry about. [Earth Bulwark](5 Gold Cores)....[meborn Javelin](5 Gold Cores)... The section of skill books had an innumerable number of GOLD skill books each for the price of 20 Gold Cores, with Noah''s eyes finally changing when theynded on the[Unique Items] and [Food] section! [Braised Dragon Heart](500 Gold Cores) :: Cooked to perfection, good for breakthroughs¡­ [Deep Fried Phoenix Wings](500 Gold Cores) :: Mana seeps out with every bite as you will feel rejuvenated for the next 10 days¡­ "..." A shocking amount of food items were listed as their names and prices caused Noah to take a pause, his body that had been going through the Tower for the past hours salivating at the names of the foods as when he focused on them, they were released from the shelves and disyed to him! As if they were frozen in time, the exotic meats of Dragons and Phoenixes began to emanate their strong smell the moment they were disyed as it seemed like they had just been cooked! In front of such a scene, Noah steeled his heart as he forcefully turned his gaze away. ''Just window shopping...can''t spend the rare Gold Cores on food!'' He gave a nce to the wondrous looking foods as he turned his eyes to the Unique Items! [Magma Pendant](500 Gold Cores) :: An item capable of storing the Peak Gold Skill Magma Meteor 5 times, the skill being able to be released consecutively with no requirement of mana usage or time dy thereafter until the 5 charges are used up¡­ [Fallen Nether King''s Crown](10,000 Gold Cores) :: Grants the wearer the capability to summon 2 Gold Rank Skeleton Kings and 200 Silver Rank Skeleton Knights¡­ [Frost Basilisk Shards](5000 Gold Cores) :: Allows the summoning of the Frost Basilisk Unit... [Aether Half Dragon Shards](10,000 Gold Cores) :: Allows the summoning of the Aether Half Dragon Unit¡­ A myriad of items were shown in front of him, but the most unique ones were the listing of items he already had ced near the very top like the Shards of his Gold Units! Such a sight caused him to turn his gaze behind him as he couldn''t afford the prices of the Gold Unit Shards disyed in this section, going towards the shelves behind him that held a tinge of Silver and browsing through them as sure enough, what he wanted to see was disyed there! [Aether Drakes](10,000 Silver Cores) :: Allows the summoning of the Aether Drake Unit¡­ [Flesh Giant](5,000 Silver Cores):: Allows the summoning of the Flesh Giant Unit¡­ The Dimensional Store truly let him buy things he came across before, his eyes lighting up as he made his first purchase within this unique ce, spending 40,000 Silver Cores that had been collecting dust this entire time to buy 4 Aether Drake Shards that would represent 2 Gold Aether Half Dragons. What a feature! What a boon to y around with! This was just the Dimensional Store, where Noah had not even gone to explore the shocking Infinite Crucible that seemed even more exciting! Chapter 83 - Facing Waves Of Beasts! A gorgeous light shone from the tall shelves of the Dimensional Store, releasing 4 purple lights into Noah''s hands as 40,000 Silver Cores disappeared from his Inventory. He had a light smile as he looked at these Unit Shards.? With his over 300 thousand Silver Unit Upgrade Crystals, he could very quickly pump these Silver Drakes and fuse them to produce 2 Aether Half Dragons, which would allow him to use up the 2 new spots of Units that were increased with the Upgrade of the System! ?? This would allow for him to have 4 Aether Half Dragons, 2 Congrant Pegasi, a Frost Basilisk, and an Equipment Guardian! "Hooo¡­" He let out a light breath as he took everything in, ncing at the far away shelves of this Dimensional Store that held items he couldn''t even buy, not trying to get his heart and hopes up from looking at things far away as he forced himself to give themand to leave the Dimensional Store! SHAA! His figure appeared in the Waiting Room as his eyes gazed towards the thing that he couldn''t wait to go into, so much so that he didn''t even continue exploring the Dimensional Store until he saw exactly what was waiting for him with the feature called Infinite Crucible. Endless waves of Dimensional Beasts. Endless Rewards! Crucible Points! Death wasn''t final! There were so many things attached onto the Infinite Crucible that Noah couldn''t help but walk towards it while summoning his Units. RUMBLE! The enormous figures of Aether Dragons, Pegasi, Basilisk, and an Equipment Guardian appeared as along with them, 2 golden-purple shes of light erupted out as Noah pumped the required Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals into the 4 newly bought Aether Drakes andbined them, the brilliant hue of purple spilling into the Waiting Room even more as 2 new Gold Rank Aether Half Dragons made their appearance! ROAAAR! Draconic bellows rang out as Noah nodded at the magnificent figures of 4 Half Dragons, bringing all of these beings towards the pulsing gateway that was the Infinite Crucible, their figures disappearing in a sh of light! WAA! Spatial energies wrapped around Noah and his units as they were shuttled across space and time, their figures only reappearing a secondter as they descended down in a sh of blue light. Noah''s eyes brightened up as he looked at his surroundings, seeing that the floor they stood on was inscribed with square white boxes that extended for miles! This expansive floor of the Infinite Crucible was bordered by thin transparent white walls that Noah could see far in the distance, the whole structure being shaped like a huge octagon! When he looked past the transparent white walls that acted as the border of the octagonal space and above him on what should have been the sky, he found himself only seeing the beautiful sight of a starry glimmer of space. The Infinite Crucible...was actually an enormous octagonal arena that stretched out for miles while floating in space! RUMBLE! His arrival caused a flood of mana to pour in as a smile from him, red portals appeared while releasing a dangerous glow. Their appearance was followed by a prompt appearing in front of Noah''s eyes. [Begin Wave 1? Once started, the Waves will automatically continue until 10 are cleared.] "Begin!" The prompt gave a question, and Noah answered it with fervor as the 8 Units around him roared out! THRUUM! An intense wave of mana resonated out as the red portals shone, creatures beginning to be released from them as it seemed they were struggling with each other to get out and rush towards Noah. They bared their fangs as their saliva dripped onto the floor, Noah seeing terrifying figures of Iron Rank Minotaurs, Treants, ming Lions, and a variety of Reptilian Creatures that all thone with glimmers of light! ROOOAR! Their numbers quickly rose above a few hundreds as they moved in an enclosed circr wave towards Noah and his Units. The four Aether Dragons looked at the figures of hundreds of Iron Ranked Dimensional Beasts in contempt, their roars meaning nothing to them as with the majesty of dragons, four [Destructive Rays] of Aether erupted from their jaws as they moved them left from right, a shocking scene of entire hordes of Iron Ranked beasts bing dismembered or sted to oblivion showing itself! BZZZZT! The dangerous purple energy of Aether vibrated around them, the monsters that wereing towards them in a circr explosion all burnt to cinders or torn apart from the aether rays released from the jaws of the Half Dragons...the entire first wave being cleared just with these attacks! ¡­! [Wave 2 Commencing.] The prompt appeared in the skies as Noah observed the scene with a shining gaze, climbing onto the back of one of the Aether Half Dragons as he looked over everything from above, the Half Dragons, Congrant Pegasi, Frost Basilisk, and the Equipment Guardians all moving towards the newly erupting wave of enemies that began to leak out of the portals. Compared to the first Wave, a few hundred more Dimensional Beasts were added...but since they were all in the Iron Rank, they were cleared in seconds from the deadly attacks of the Aether Half Dragons that could cover arge distance! Corpses littered the floor of the Infinite Crucible as the Dimensional Beasts didn''t disappear into particles of light, their bodies piling up if they weren''t disintegrated and turned into bloody paste from the attacks of the terrifying GOLD Units. RUMBLE Another wavemenced as a chilling sight ensued, the waves being cleared as Noah passed the first few with extreme ease! Every time another wave came, hundreds of more Iron Rank Beasts were added, and tens of Bronze Beasts began to appear on the 5th Wave. ROAAR! The roars of the Aether Half-Dragons could be heard throughout as they decimated the enemy forces, not mattering whether it was iron or Bronze as they were all shredded equally! By the 9th Wave, the majority of the hundreds of Beasts jumping out of the portal turned out to be those in the Bronze, and the 10 Wave had ten Silver Beast Rift Bosses make their appearance. Yet all it took Noah was a minute to clear out all the low level Beasts of even the 10th wave. OOOM! The moment all the Beasts were cleared from the 10th wave, the mountains of bodies that had piled up began to break into particles of light, a prompt appearing in the skies for Noah to see! [10th Wave cleared. Proceed or Give Up and collect rewards?] The question didn''t even need to be considered as Noah wanted to know how stupendous the rewards were on the floors where he could defeat Gold Rank Dimensional Beasts! "Proceed!" RUMBLE With hismand, the waves of Beasts resumed as Noah underwent multiple bloody battles, each of them being cleared as neither he nor his units ever came to harm from the Beasts they faced in these early levels. By the 15th Wave, no more Iron Rank Beasts appeared as only Bronze and Silver littered the floors of the Infinite Crucible. By the 25th Wave, the Beasts rushing out of the red portals were all in the Silver Rank as tens of Silver Rank Rift Bosses thundered towards Noah and his Units, only to be delivered death! On the 30th floor...Gold Dimensional Beasts finally began to appear as the hundreds of Beasts Silver Beasts were led by 5 horrendous Gold Beasts. They looked like oversized Iguanas, their huge jaws shooting out scorching balls of mes as they threatened to topple Noah''s dominance, but even they fell under the assault of 8 High Tier Element Gold Units! OOOOH! Noah''s units released victorious bellows when the 5 Gold Beasts fell, the 30th Wave being passed as Noah became extremely serious and careful while proceeding to the next few Waves. The 31st through the 34th waves had simr numbers and qualities of Beasts, where aside from the 5 Gold Rift Bosses, tens of normal ranked Gold Beasts began to appear among the hundreds of Silver! On the 35th Wave...Noah shockingly faced 10 Gold Rift Bosses as he faced the first hard battle within the Infinite Crucible. Yet with the aid of the powerful Light and Aether Units along with the Frost Basilisk, even this was passed as the 10 Golf Rift Bosses fell one by one! It was at this point that the true challenge began, with Noah facing variations of 10 Gold Rift Bosses for the 36th through the 39th Waves. At this point, very few Silver Beasts could be seen as the floor of the Infinite Crucible was littered with Gold Rank corpses, Noah breathing heavily as he stood atop an Aether Half-Dragon while looking at thest remaining Gold Rift Boss of the 39th Wave. It was being held down by the Equipment Guardian while Noah and the remaining Units swallowed multiple Potions to be in top tier shape, the beast having its life reaped away only when Noah gave the nod! A brilliant light shed out as a dreadful prompt appeared in the air. [Wave 40 Commencing.] RUMBLE! The air quaked as terrifying auras emanated out from the red portals spread out across the Infinite Crucible, Noah letting out a breath as he counted not just the usual 10 Gold Rift Bosses that he had been meeting in the past few waves...but he counted the auras of 20! 20 Gold Rank Rift Bosses. ROAAAR! They varied from enormous Golden Minotaurs to ming White Eagles, Earth Drakes, Molten Lava Lords...a variety of Rift Bosses that added up to 20! They were apanied by hundreds of normal Gold Ranked Beasts, Noah''s face bing exceedingly serious as he faced such a terrifying force! "Just this Wave¡­" His hand felt the scales of the glistening Aether Half Dragon he was on as he repeated to himself, Noah facing his toughest battle yet as he felt more threatened against the 20 terrifying Rift Bosses than even the injured DIAMOND expert he swarmed not too long ago! RUMBLE! Billowing waves of power emanated out as Noah''s buffed Units roared, facing a dangerous battle even with their elected strength as high Tier Units. An hour passed. Devastation could be seen everywhere across the miles of the octagonal Infinite, thousands of bodies strewn all about! Enormous 20 meter corpses that represented GOLD Rift Bosses could be seen, only a few beings still standing on the bloody arena as their eyes were filled with tiredness! From the 4 Aether Half-Dragons, many areas of their bodies had their tough scales shattered, the wing of one of them even nearly being torn off. The Congrant Pegasi and all other Units had heavy injuries on them as well, all of them undergoing their first truly deadly battle as their lives were in peril a few times, the Heals of the Light Equipment Guardian being the one to save a few of them many times! Noah stood among a mountain of corpses himself as with red eyes, he looked towards the prompt in the sky above him. [40th Wave Cleared. Proceed or give up and collect Rewards?] This time around when he saw these words, he didn''t hesitate as he chose to give up! RUMBLE He raised his exhausted eyes as he saw the corpses around him disappearing, a Golden light washing down and flowing into him as yet another prompt appeared. [40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 3 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.] RUMBLE! A shining Gold chest appeared in Noah''s inventory, his tired and shaking eyes locating it as he clicked on it, a bloom of gold erupting and covering his entire sight as gorgeous words were disyed to him! [Tier 3 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+5,000 Gold Cores] [+100,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+20 Random Gold Equipment], [+50,000 Silver Cores], [+300,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+800 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]... ¡­! rm rose in Noah''s eyes as a shocking sight was disyed in front of him. It showed many things, but the biggest and most important one was a set of Upgrade Crystals that guaranteed something of immense importance! It was the guarantee of a Diamond Unit, the guarantee of Noah gaining the power to alone flip the scales of power of this Ethereal Realm he found himself in! Chapter 84 - Power To Break The Scales! The moment that Noah finished clearing the 40th Wave of the Infinite Crucible, he chose to give up right away as just this single wave alone had nearly caused the deaths of him and his Units! If he continued, the sequence that he had seemed so far would be him facing another 20 Gold Rift Bosses on the 41st through 44th Waves, and these numbers would then ridiculously double of the 45th Wave as he would face either 30 or 40 Gold Rift Bosses. ?? And that was just on the 45th Wave! Once he started the next ten waves, they would continueing until he cleared the 50th Wave where he wouldn''t be surprised to find a DIAMOND Boss waiting for him there! He didn''t want to lose his life in the Infinite Crucible and lose 10 days'' worth of the boons of the Idle Gaming System, so he chose to see what the rewards would be from stopping at the 40th floor while he rested his exhausted body. The results...were out of his wildest dreams as the [Tier 3 Treasure Trove] granted him too many things, but the most important was the 100,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals! He merely needed another 75,000 to fully max out the second Aether Half-Dragon, and now he even had extra when he finished this task due to the rewards of the Infinite Crucible. He would have had to clear multiple floors of the Tower of Champions to achieve this, and yet the terrifying experience of the Infinite Crucible granted it to him after he barely passed the 40th Wave! His exhausted body began to feel rejuvenated as he stared at the injured Aether Half-Dragons, feeling that at this moment, a huge change was about to ur as he took the steps towards DIAMOND Rank. ''I can''t even say it''s been a long time¡­'' He had a light smile as he thought about how quickly it had taken him to get here, being only a matter of days ago when he was still collecting Silver and Gold Units. Yet at this moment...he was ready to fuse his first DIAMOND Unit! RUMBLE A glorious light shone as he pumped all the required Gold Unit Upgrade Crystals, his tired body sitting down as he merely stared at the figures of two Aether Half-Dragons brimming with power. It felt like a momentous asion, and one that should be marked in history as it signified an enormous change within the Ethereal Realm! "Fuse." In a sense of profound calmness, he gave themand after the 2 Aether Half-Dragons were brought to the peak. THRUUUM! Mana began to rage. With a glorious assortment of colors of gold and purple, the figures of the 2 Half-Dragons merged together, a milky white color beginning to be born as they were fused! From the wondrous color of gold, it was gradually being wiped away as in a matter of seconds, the only colors left were the purple that represented the terrifying Aether Element, and the milky white color that represented...the rank of DIAMOND. WAA! The light released itself and washed past Noah''s sitting figure and the figures of other Units that were staring towards it, a magisterial aura being released as an enormous creature made its appearance! Wide spiked purple wings, a serrated tail filled with crystalline spikes, and dense purple scales that released rays of glorious light...the head of a genuine Dragon opened its eyes as they focused on Noah, causing an oppressive pressure that could suffocate a Gold Rank to spread out. Towering over 50 meters, the creature was more than 25 timesrger than a normal human being! ROAAAAR! It released a wondrous bellow to express its arrival, Noah not being able to help himself from having a smile erupt on his face. This was partly because of the details of the new Unit, but also purely from the power he could sense from it! This was because the pressure Noah could feel from the DIAMOND Ranked Rift Boss in front of him seemed 10 times more oppressive than the one that the injured Warlord Steel released! Having such a creature made him extremely confident when it came to his n of simply flipping the whole board that was the Ethereal Realm and putting himself as the top yer. His confidence further rose when he looked at its details. DIAMOND [Koddrys, The Champion of Aether] :: A full grown adult dragon of the Aether Element. It has gained masterful control of Aether as its enemies can be destroyed with a mere look. It''s abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], [Aether Rune Mark], [Aether Breath], and [Storm of Decimation]. A dragon! A genuine, full grown dragon! "Ah¡­" Noah walked towards it and touched its scales, the enormous beast 25 times his size bringing its terrifying head down for him to stroke it subserviently. The 2 remaining Aether Half-Dragons and other Units roared out weakly while bowing their heads down, a new king arriving among Noah''s forces! It was Koddrys, the Champion of Aether! RUMBLE! With shining eyes, Noah looked into its detail as he focused on the two new skills that were added with the advent of this Dragon. [Aether Breath] :: The mostmon skill of the Dragon Race, with the element of Aether making it particrly destructive as arge region will be burnt to cinders. [Storm of Decimation] :: The Champion of Aether calls forth an Aether Storm to ravage the surroundings, any enemies within the affected area only being left to wish for the sweet release of death. ¡­! A wondrous set of skills! Both of them having AOE Damage as they affectedrge areas, making Noah looked forward to when he clearedrge droves of Dimensional Beasts in the Infinite Crucible again with a single cast of a skill! RUMBLE A brilliant light covered all of them as Noah and the Units were taken out of the Infinite Crucible after this, reappearing in the Waiting Room as Noah released a breath. His gaze still lingering on the Dragon, he thought about how nearly 5 hours had passed while he cleared just 40 Waves of the Infinite Crucible. With the addition of the Champion of Aether, this timer should drastically be reduced down as Noah could continue farming up to the 40th Wave every time to obtain the Gold Rank Treasure Trove that had 100,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals! If he just did it three times and obtained 300,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals...that was another DIAMOND Unit¡­ He also had the Tower of Champions to continue as he felt like he woulde across a Diamond Rift Boss sometime in the next 10 floors, and the Tower was less dangerous than the Infinite Crucible as it didn''t force him toplete 10 at once! There were many things for him to n and do, but he would revel in the achievement of obtaining a DIAMOND Rift Boss as he prepared to make a grand move against the experts of this new Realm he transliterated in. From the stories he read back in his homeworld, the Rulers of the three Continents would all be vying for Hegemony by nning protracted wars and involving hundreds of thousands of Blessed Soldiers in the mix! They would be at the front lines as the Golden Commanders or when their DIAMOND experts were introduced, but the war would involve a great deal of people even though a few beings were the ones at the very top fighting for resources and wealth. "I won''t y like that¡­" RUMBLE A chilling smile appeared on Noah''s face as he nned! He wouldn''t raise an army or do the tedious task of slowly going city to city to stretch his influence within the Dark and Wild Continents. With him obtaining a DIAMOND Rift Boss, he could directly go against the old fogeys at the very top that were fighting this war for their own reasons- and he would Subjugate or kill them as he bypassed all the strenuous process of creating armies or moving slowly! With his Units, he would be his own army as all he had to do was decimate and defeat the most powerful DIAMOND experts of the Dark and Wild Continent- and then he could put everything else under his heel! With absolute strength, things became easy. The so called Dark King of the Dark Continent was just a DIAMOND Ranked expert. If he faced the terrifying Champion of Aether right now- a Rift Boss that was 10 times more powerful than an average Blessed...what prevented his death?! After all was over and done, after he had taken down these old experts controlling the wars in the dark, he would finally be able to rx while collecting Idle Resources. He would allow Rose and Annalise to establish order and rule as they saw fit while he gazed at everything from above, just enjoying the fruits of hisbor! He could do so after those responsible for the war were dead or subjugated, after those that caused the death of his parents were paid back in full. RUMBLE! With a heart full of ns and a terrifying DIAMOND Unit in his hands, Noah disappeared from the Waiting Room as he returned into the Ethereal Realm after over a day and a half had passed. He returned as a new man! Chapter 85 - Legions Of Two Continents Move Out! As an enemy that could wipe all of them out rose in silence, the forces that stood atop the three Continents of the Ethereal Realm were preparing as they were about to move in full to achieve their goals! To understand the alliances and reasoning of the powerful beings atop the Continents, we must discuss the powerhouses within the Ethereal Realm, and why you had multiple factions across the Realm! ?? Tens of years ago, the most powerful experts were all in the Diamond Rank, with their being regional powers across the Ethereal Realm created by DIAMOND experts that worked together to clear the only Diamond Rift within the Realm. This all changed when during a Rift run, the being that would go on to be the Ethereal Emperor obtained a unique Loot Drop that rarely dropped while he was diving with a Team of Diamond Ranked Blessed! The rare Loot Drop was the item that caused the Ethereal Emperor to be elevated in strength above the rest, his power being elevated to PLATINUM Rank with it as with this event, many changes began to ur. Among the Diamond Blessed that were within that Rift that day, the one that was currently known as the Dark King was among them, and the Ruler of the Wild Continent that was known as Alexander was also within this team! They were able to see first hand the changes brought when the being their knew rose to PLATINUM, friction beginning to bud from this point as the Ethereal Emperor used his power and authority to close off the only Diamond Ranked Rift to beings he didn''t trust, the Dark King and Alexander being among them as multiple DIAMOND Experts made the list. If any of them were to try resisting, they would be standing against the only PLATINUM Ranked expert in their Realm, with their deaths only following close by! It was then that the Ethereal Emperor proimed the Light Continent to be his domain, his will spreading throughout the Ethereal Realm as he enthroned himself an Emperor and created a Royal Household. The Dark King who currently ruled the Dark Continent and Alexander who oversaw the Wild Continent banded with the other DIAMOND Ranked experts that were not trusted by the Ethereal Emperor, forming the nations they had today! For years, the situation continued this way as the Dark and Wild Continent were isted with ess only to Gold Rifts, while the Ethereal Emperor and the Protectors he trusted remained in the Light Continent diving into the only DIAMOND Rift while trying to obtain the Unique Loot that granted the Ethereal Emperor his Rank of PLATINUM once more. Yet...the situation never repeated itself. Never in the years that passed did theye across the Rare Spawn creature within this Diamond Rift that could drop the unique Loot, and the miracle that the Ethereal Emperor experienced could not be recreated! This is because the chance for the rare spawn to appear within the Rift were extremely low, and the Rift was so hard that it took days to clear- which didn''t increase their chances in any way while they fought the terribly powerful Dimensional Beasts within. This was when the decision that would cause the huge changes within the Ethereal Realm urred. It was when the Ethereal Emperor became disillusioned with the only Diamond Rift that never repeated a miracle, and he looked past his Ethereal Realm and into the stars for other chances and opportunities! He chose...to leave and explore the starry space for more Dimensional Rifts that would provide new opportunities, not wanting to be stuck in this Realm until his death! As a being at the PLATINUM Rank, he could seamlessly leave a world or Realm and go into outer space, traversing across the myriad of ster bodies to look for something grander. And so the Ethereal Emperor did! Leaving behind those he considered his friends to oversee and protect his Royal Family, he set off for the stars to walk on a brighter path! Yet...the path he walked on would not be so bright and easy as something urred during his exploration. Not even a few years had passed before the Communication Medallion that the Ethereal Emperor left behind rang out with distraught words, something that only the Crown Prince and other DIAMOND Experts within the Light Continent got the chance to experience urring as the powerful Ethereal Emperor that had dominated an entire Realm...shockingly faced his death in the starry space he went to explore! Such shocking news was kept under wraps for more years, but it brings us to the current point where the DIAMOND experts of the Dark and Wild Continents knew of the death of the expert they feared, and that no PLATINUM deterrent existed in the Light Continent! Yet...the passing of time with those in the Light Continent clearing the Diamond Rank Rift meant that more Diamond Blessed were born on their side, where their numbers were nearly twice as many if not morepared to the other 2 factions. This was why the Dark and Wild Continent joined power...their most powerful experts seeking to take the Rifts of the Light Continent- but most of all to regain ess to the Diamond Rift that was closed off to them! This was why Warlord Steel that Noah had killed and the Impartial Protector that he fought knew each other, Steel calling the other merely a thief. The ais of the Diamond Blessed allied together against the Light Continent all wished to dive into the Rift that would elevate their strength once more, not being able to handle the fact that they were effectively given a death sentence as if they could not increase their Ranks, they would eventually be ravaged by time and simply die in silence. So they moved with haste! The forces of the Light Continent were also moving with haste as they tried to recreate the miracle the Ethereal Emperor had experienced to no avail. Both sides were moving with the issue of time on the line, and this was why the Dark King had begun bringing together his Legions as he called upon all the DIAMOND experts who joined him years ago to take back their right to enter the Diamond Rift and seek ever greater power! RUMBLE! The skies on the innermost portion of the Dark Continent were cloudy, darkness covering the hundreds of thousands of Blessed that had begun moving out from this day. Their faces were grim as they were Battalions of tens of thousands of Bronze Experts, thousands of Silver, and all of them were led by Golden Commanders as these multiple Battalions came together to create a Legion- a Legion that was led by a DIAMOND Expert! Across the Dark Continent, 7 enormous terrifying Legions were moving and converging towards each other as it represented a force of 7 DIAMOND Blessed. This wasn''t ounting for the Dark King himself who was currently in the skies above staring at everything below, his figure standing above an enormous ck Crow that spanned tens of meters in size. This was the grand scene that could be seen in the Dark Continent, with something simr happening in the Wild Continent as the Diamond Ruler, Alexander, oversaw the formation of 5 Legions! With him included, there were only 5 other DIAMOND experts as they still could note in contact with Warlord Steel- none of their forces knowing that he had fallen silently in a City that should have been a safe location. The Legions moved as they would converge to meet the forces of the Dark Continent, where only a few days would pass before this alliance would enter thend of the Light Continent and fight for their right that was taken away from them! RUMBLE! "A few days...huh?" Noah was twirling a Gold Core in his hands as he utilized [Mind Connection] to gather a great deal of information from the Gold Commanders he controlled. He found out about the LEgions being formed by both the Dark and Wild Continent as with so many Gold Blessed under his control, he understood their reasoning behind the war somewhat! But that didn''t change the fact that it was still the wills of a few powerful beings standing at the very top trying to get what they want! "You could have simply banded together with all Diamond experts andid out your attack on the other Diamond Blessed of the Light Continent. Fight it out with each other and decide the victor who gets to dive into the Diamond Rift...why involve small Cities and take over the resources of small Rifts as well?" He understood why they did what they did, but he didn''t ept the way they carried it out! Through the means they chose, multiple Cities within the Light Continent were overtaken as many innocent beings that had nothing to do with the actions of the Ethereal Emperor and the Imperial Capital were killed, and this was why Noah would target these powerful DIAMOND experts of the Dark and Wild Continents first before he made his way into the Imperial Capital! His eyes released majestic tendrils of light as he thought of such a scene, with himself standing atop a DIAMOND Rift Boss with many more fighting beside him as he faced their powerful DIAMOND Commanders¡­ Chapter 86 - Farming DIAMOND Units! I Noah was mostly thinking to himself as he affirmed his goals, the Gold Core he was throwing up and downnding on his hands as his eyes looked towards the figures of two girls that were brimming with power in the same balcony of the Vi he was in. It was the figures of Annalise and Rose finishing their breakthroughs into the Gold Rank, Annalise being covered by frost all over her body as she released an icy aura that made her genuinely look like her inherent skill- an Ice Queen! ?? Meanwhile, peals of thunder and lightning surrounded Rose as her expression was dignified, her Inherent Skill as a ||Lightning Reinforcer|| also being elevated along with her rise to GOLD. WAA! The two girls opened their eyes at the same time as their bodies beautifully glimmered with gold, Noah looking towards them with a smile as even these two girls hade far from where they were before! Noah patted his little sister''s head as her eyes cutely turned defiant while she rose to maintain the demeanor of an Ice Queen, a smile of happiness present on her face when she looked towards her older brother! His gaze went towards Rose as he spoke. "We know about the Legions and numbers of Diamond Blessed within the Dark and Wild Continent, what about the Light Continent? Aside from that Impartial Protector Chen, how many are there?" Rose''s silver hair that signified Royalty beautifully cascaded down her shoulders as the lightning around her dwindled, looking towards Noah with eyes filled with an untold amount of light and thoughts as she replied with a thoughtful expression. "The number of Protectors that Father left behind...should be more than 15!" RUMBLE! The Ethereal Princess mentioned a number that was double what the Dark or Wild Continents each had, where they would only be able to match their forces if they allied together as they did! Noah nodded with eyes shining with an intense light, speaking in a tone the girls found enchanting and domineering his body pulsed with power. "Very well, in a few days, I''ll move out to take on these Diamond Experts...with the battle for this Ethereal Realm not taking weeks or months as hundreds of thousands of Blessed fall to their deaths, but only the strongest peak Experts that began this war in the first ce!" RUMBLE! His words caused the atmosphere to change as the two girls looked towards each other with shining eyes. Noah himself gazed out from the balcony of the Vi as he knew very well what he was doing, making calctions on how he would be proceeding in the Tower of Champion, Shattered Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible for him to obtain multiple DIAMOND Units in the next few days before he moved out with confidence to break the bnce of this whole Realm. "I''ll see you girls in a bit." SHAA! With a light smile, Noah threw the Gold Core in his hands towards Annalise and Rose as he disappeared, returning into the Waiting Room where a great deal of Featuresy open for him to utilize! Noah moved to achieve his goal of having multiple DIAMOND Rift Bosses under him as the best way to do this...was actually the new Infinite Crucible that seemed to be calling for him by the side. So long as he went into the Infinite Crucible and cleared the initial 40 waves three times, he would obtain 100,000 Gold Unt Upgrade Crystals from just the Tier 3 Treasure Trove. If he did this three times...that was the 300,000 Upgrade Crystals that he needed to obtain a Diamond Unit! And what stopped him from simply clearing the 40 waves again after he collected his loot and restarted the Crucible? The answer was not a damn thing as this time around, he nned to farm until he left this ce with a ridiculous amount of power. A ridiculous amount of power that was only made possible through a ridiculous System! Before doing anything else, Noah visited the Dimensional Store to buy the Unit Crystals of Aether Drakes to forge another Aether Half-Dragon to take the empty spot in his party that was made after the fusion of the DIAMOND Ranked Champion of Aether- Koddrys! It was only after that when Noah went towards the enormous doorway that was the Infinite Crucible, seeing that to the right of it, a blue panel had appeared that showed his highest Wave cleared and its time of 4 hours, highest Treasure Trove obtained, as well as...the number of Crucible Points. [Crucible Points](40) :: Can be utilized to buy Unique Loot in the Dimensional Store, or utilized to grant Blessings to oneself or Curses to the Dimensional Beasts that are applied until death is met or you choose to leave. Current applicable Blessings- [Enhanced Mana and Health Regeneration], [Poison on Attack], [Damage Modifier]... Current applicable Curses- [Mana Drain], [Mindless Frenzy], [Firebourne], [Darkbourne], [Speedy]... A sh of interest passed through Noah''s eyes as he focused on the Blessings and curses to learn more about them. [Poison on Attack](40 Crucible Points) :: This Blessing grants the challenger of the crucible and his allies the ability toy deadly poison on any enemies they attack with skills or weapons, this poison dealing 10% of their total damage as poison damage every second. [Firebourne](40 Crucible Points) :: The Dimensional Beasts swarming within be Inmed, bing fused with mes throughout their bodies and origins as they deal increased fire damage with every attack, but they be more susceptible to any sources of cold damage as their resistance be heavily reduced. [Darkbourne](40 Crucible Points) :: The Dimensional Beasts swarming within be steeped in darkness, dealing increased dark attribute damage with every attack, but they be more susceptible to any sources of Light damage as their resistance be heavily reduced. Defeating waves of Darkbourne Beasts grant much higher rewards. "Well¡­" A truly unique set of Blessings and cursesy in front of him, giving Noah many ideas on how to utilize them to get even further in the Infinite Crucible! There were a variety of curses that dealt with the elements like [Darkbourne], [Lightbourne], [Aetherbourne]...if Noah created a full Light Unit Team in the future and bought the Darkbourne Curse, he would most likely be able to get much further ahead in the Infinite Crucible, with the rewards being even more abundant! For theing runs, he would save the Crucible Points as he just undertook his goal of farming the Tier 3 Treasure Trove for ore Gold Cores. THRUM! His body stepped into the gateway of the Infinite Crucible as he was carried away, returning to the expansive octagon floating in the starry space as he called forth his terrifying Units. ROAAAR! The first to arrive emanate ridiculous levels of power, the full fledged Dragon Koddrys roaring out with power as the Gold Units that came out after paled inparison to it! 3 Aether Half-Dragons, a Frost Basilisk, an Equipment Guardian, and two Congrant Pegasi made their appearance as well, Noahmencing his second run of the Infinite Crucible as this time around, he sought to farm until obtaining another DIAMOND Unit! [Wave 1 Commencing.] RUMBLE! Portals activated as a flood of monsters began to appear, the puny levels at Iron making the Champion of Aether look towards them with disdain, Aether bursting off of its scales as a bloody massacre of many waves began in the Infinite Crucible. With the inclusion of a DIAMOND Ranked Unit, Noah thundered across the Waves of the Crucible as he reached the 30th Wave in just half an hour, and it then took him 2 hours to go through the throngs of Gold Rift Bosses before he returned to clearing the 40th Wave! This time around, it felt much easier as his life or the lives of his units wasn''t constantly under threat with the protection and strength of the terrifying Champion of Aether that was at the DIAMOND Rank. Yet Noah kept to his ns as he gave up continuing the waves at 40, not choosing to endanger his life with tens of Gold Rift Bosses that would continue to appear after these floors as he didn''t know what shockingly powerful creatures would have to be cleared on the 50th Wave. He gave up as his rewards were disyed in front of his eyes! [40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.] RUMBLE! A shining Gold chest appeared in Noah''s inventory, and this time it wasn''t Tier 3, but Tier 1! His clear time had been reduced so much with the inclusion of Koddrys that his rewards would actually be even more abundant! [Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10,000 Gold Cores] [+150,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+40 Random Gold Equipment], [+100,000 Silver Cores], [+500,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]... ¡­! Noah looked at the shocking details of the Treasure Trove as a smile could not help but break from his face! Chapter 87 - Farming DIAMOND Units! II A Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove appeared! With the shocking speed of clearing that Koddrys provided, Noah''s rewards were boosted even more that instead of 100,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals, he obtained 150,000! Such a thing meant that instead of clearing the Infinite Crucible''s 40 Waves 2 more times, he just had to do it once more¡­ "Good!" His eyes zed with wondrous light as his body was taken out from the octagonal Crucible, finding himself back in the Waiting Room as he made his way over to the pulsing gateway a secondter. Into the Infinite Crucible again! Noah began going through the waves just like before in a mechanical manner, doing his best to begin the process of farming DIAMOND Rank Units as he wanted to move with a full team of such terrific beings before the Legions of the Dark and Wild Continent reached the Light Continent! ROAAR! Within the Crucible, a terrifying Dragon''s Breath that released scorching tendrils of Aether crushed down towards two GOLD Rift Bosses, their defenses ripped apart as when the breath receded they could barely move as they whimpered in pain. SHAA! A Destructive Ray then thundered out as the two creatures were bisected in half, the floor of the Crucibleing to a stop as the 40th Wave was cleared once more! The moment Noah got the prompt to continue or to give up, he unhesitatingly gave up as he knew another DIAMOND Unit was waiting for him at this moment. [40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.] The beautiful message appeared in front of his eyes again as the bodies of him and his units were warped out of the Infinite Crucible once more! Noah then clicked on the Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove as a deep smile appeared on his face. [Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10,000 Gold Cores] [+150,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+40 Random Gold Equipment], [+100,000 Silver Cores], [+500,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]... Upgrade Crystals, and even more Gold Cores that he could use to now buy Gold Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store simr to how he was buying Silver Rank Aether Drake Cores with 10,000 Silver Coins. When he went back to the Dimensional Store and went to the GOLD section, he would be able to buy the Shards of Aether Half-Dragons, Congrant Pegasi, and Equipment Guardians for 10,000 Gold Each- having a unique selection for his future DIAMOND Team! At this moment, he wanted his team to be somewhat bnced without just overly powerful Offensive Units, and it was why he nned to buy another Light Equipment Guardian for its powerful defensive skills and healing capabilities. But for now...he wanted the ridiculous DPS of another full-fledged Aether Dragon as he utilized his 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Cores to enhance two Aether Half-Dragons and fuse another DIAMOND Ranked Unit! RUMBLE! Mana freely raged in the surroundings as Noah did ridiculous things with utter ease, yet another terrifying Champion of Aether appeared in front of his eyes. DIAMOND [Coadrien, The Champion of Aether] :: A full grown adult dragon of the Aether Element. It has gained masterful control of Aether as its enemies can be destroyed with a mere look. It''s abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], [Aether Rune Mark], [Aether Breath], and [Storm of Decimation]. Another Champion of Aether, but this time carrying the name Coadrien! Noah only focused on its terrifying purple scales and cold eyes that radiated regality, this terrifying Dragon seeming like a twin of Koddrys as the two of them looked at each other with a sharp light. "Truly¡­" Noah looked at this scene with utter wonder as he truly gave himself another DIAMOND Unit in just 5 hours! With the appearance of this second one, his clear time would be further reduced as he would soon enough even be confident to delve past the 40th Wave and be capable of clearing it to the 50th! With a heart bubbling with enthusiasm, he delved back into the Infinite Crucible as he farmed to his heart''s content. 4 hourster, another 300,00 Gold Rank Upgrade Units were obtained! Another DIAMOND Ranked Champion of Aether appeared! After that, the clear time was reduced by another hour as after 3 hours, another Champion of Aether was born. That was a total of 12 hours to obtain 3 new DIAMOND Ranked Units! It was ridiculous, unbelievable, and it just should not be allowed! ROAAR! When Noah looked at the magnificent sight of 4 Champions of Aether, he finally felt content with these terrifying Dragons as he then looked at the Units of other Elements. He visited the Dimensional Store in between his runs to the Infinite Crucible, spending 10,000 Gold Cores to purchase Light Equipment Guardian Shards. It was time for him to make an overly powerful healing and defense Unit as after that with the inclusion of 4 terrifying Champions of Aether, he would go past the 40th Wave to obtain even more gorgeous rewards! With his forces currently, he wasn''t even afraid of meeting a DIAMOND Rift Boss in the Infinite Crucible or the Tower of Champions, and such a thing he was even looking forward to as it meant he would obtain DIAMOND Cores to enhance his strength into this level as well! Another 2 and a half hours passed as he delved into the Infinite Crucible twice in this period of time, his clear time having been more than halved from the original time as the force of 4 DIAMOND Dragons was nothing to joke about. Thest two runs provided another 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals as this time, Noah had the fusion of another 2 Units to step into the rank of DIAMOND. The wondrous golden colored Light Element raged around with the fusion of two Light Equipment Guardians, Noah''s eyes expectant on the result as he wasn''t let down, his shining eyes letting out gorgeous tendrils of blue light as theynded on a 20 meterrge creature that shone gold from all around! It looked like an enormous golden armor, beautiful gold light running through the gaps of its armor as it connected everything together, a hazy gold light congregating together as it formed a cloudy head. For its weapons, it held a huge golden hammer that pulsed with a shocking light, as well as arge golden Tower Shield. It looked like a genuine protector of the battlefield as Noah nced at its details! DIAMOND [Glorious Pdin of Light] :: An autonomous living armor that has ascended to be a Pdin of Light. For healing and protection, no others in the same rank can exceed it. Abilities include [Invisibility], [Golden Shield], [Light of Dawn], and [Equipment Mode], [Summon Holy Totem], [Hammer of Glory]. A Pdin of Light. A glorious one at that! Noah''s eyes shone as he looked at the details of thest 2 added skills. [Summon Holy Totem] :: The Glorious Pdin of Light calls forth an ancient totem filled with the power of Light, this Totem hanging in the skies as it grants the Pdin of Light and its allies constant effects of [Resplendent Healing], [Boosted Defense], [Enhanced Attack], and [Righteous Light]. [Hammer of Glory] :: The Pdin protects in the most righteous way it knows- byying down scorching judgment. This ability calls from a 50 meter Hammer of Glory that strikes down any nearby enemies, this Hammer releasing [Scorching Light mes] in the 100 meter area where itnds. "...well damn." Noah nced at the details of the skills with surprise as they seemed overly powerful, not wasting any time as he delved into the Infinite Crucible. This time around, he didn''t n on stopping at the 40th Wave! The utility of the Pdin of Light was shocking to say the least, its abilities of healing and buffs being eclipsed by the shocking area of attack that was termed [Hammer of Glory]. On the 40th Wave where 5 Gold Rift Bosses were moving towards Noah from a certain direction, he gave amand as the golden shining Pdin of Light lifted the hammer it held to the skies before bringing it down! [Hammer of Glory]. RUMBLE! The skies trembled as they formed an enormous golden hammer that towered 50 meters in size, the oversized hammer thundering towards the group of 5 Rift Bosses and the normal Gold Rank Units following them as the impact was utterly decimating. BOOM! The floor of the Infinite Crucible shook as many Beasts were sttered to nothingness, but it was the scene that followed which was truly heart pumping! Golden scorching mes erupted from the point of contact of the hammer, spreading out to a 100 meter region as everything became covered by hellish golden mes that burnt down 5 Gold Rift Bosses to cinders! WAA! This was the terrifying power of the Pdin of Light! A defensive Unit whose one attack skill didn''t lose out to the most powerful attacks of a Champion of Aether! With such a creature within his team, Noah did not choose to give up on the 40th Wave as his eyes shone brightly with his voice ringing out when the prompt came. "Continue!" THRUM! Mana exploded out as the mountain of corpses from the 40th Wave disappeared, Noah entering past it for the first time as he was about toe face to face with 30-40 Gold Rift Bosses per Wave, but the rewards were bound to be even more wondrous. Chapter 88 - A Complete Team! Set Off To Face Legions! I In the Waves that followed, the Gold Rift Bosses he faced were of course ramped up inrge numbers, where by the 45th Wave, Noah was facing 40 Gold Rift Bosses that swarmed towards him in a terrifying manner with hundreds of normal Gold Rank Dimensional Beasts! OOOOOH! But with the presence of 4 Champions of Aether, genuine Dragons that were at the DIAMOND Rank who were paired up with a majestic Pdin of Light...the battles were shockingly dominated by Noah''s strength. The terrifying DIAMOND Units released their milky white luster of their Rank, managing to withstand multiple Gold Rift Bosses to themselves as after the release of a few skills, a few Bosses would begin to fall as the pressure on them would reduce even more! [Hammer of Glory]. RUMBLE! A hammer that released a shocking light would be cast as it thundered down and wiped out arge region of Beasts! [Dragon''s Breath]. WAAA! Filled with the pulsing power of Aether, vast stretches ofnd were affected by the high temperature Breath that decimated anything they came across. Like this, even the 45th Wave with 40 Gold Rift Bosses were cleared after half an hour! Noah continued to slowly and carefully make his way forward, the waves continuing toe up until the 49th Wave, the Gold Rift Bosses he faced became 45. This didn''t bode well for thesting Wave where if Noah was following the pattern of previous Waves, there would be a creature a Rank higher after he faced such arge number of Rift Bosses in the previous waves! [Wave 50 Commencing.] THRUM! The waves of the Infinite Crucible were emotionless as they continued toe, the many red portals spread out across the octagonal Crucible vibrating as they began to release a horrendous amount of Beasts. The Dimensional Beasts this time were extremely unique, Noah seeing all of their bodies dancing with mes as it looked like the Beasts of the 50th Wave were naturally given the mebourne Curse! The auras of 50 Gold Rank Rift Bosses could be seen in a shocking fashion as to top off all this...Noah could sense the aura of a single creature that released a much more dreadful feeling than all of them. ROAAAR! In one direction, Noah''s eyes squinted to find an enormous 30 meter tall beast stepping out of a huge portal! 3 heads, a body d in writhing mes, and eyes releasing terrifying beams of light as a milky white aura surrounded it. It was a creature at the DIAMOND Rank! The name of [Hellfire Cerberus] appeared above it as Noah felt his heart beat faster when looking at this scene, his mind moving rapidly as he gave multiplemands to his Units. A terrifying battle was ahead of them! THRUM! The body of the Pdin of Light glimmered as before the battle even began, it''s hands came to its chest as if it was praying, the skill [Summoning Holy Totem] being cast as a brilliant Light Totem releasing powerful boosts and Heals manifested in the skies, washing over Noah and his Units as the Champions of Aether flew put towards their enemies with fervor! [Storm of Decimation]. [Storm of Decimation]. Terrifying destructive Aether began to form and rain down all around them, Koddrys and the other Dragons fully disying their shocking might as they went to om to release storms of Aether onto their enemies. ROAAR! The Hellfire Cerberus bellowed out while releasing waves of mes, but the elements of Aether and Light could not be brought to a stop! Against 5 DIAMOND Rank Rift Bosses, the singr powerful Cerberus was torn down as the other mebourne Dimensional Beasts faced the same fate. It was the fate that would befall any enemies that would meet Noah''s soon to bepleted team! BOOM! After an hour had passed, the enormous body of the Hellfire Cerberus slumped to the ground as Noah breathed hard, his Units looking at everything with shocking majesty as a few injuries were present on their bodies and healing rapidly from the Holy Totem floating above them. The offensive strength of the Champions of Aether overflowed as they were followed up by the great utility of the Pdin of Light that provided healing and powerful attacking strength as well! But with it, the 50th Wave was cleared as Noah chose to give up from continuing right after! He did not yet want to face the eventual Waves that were filled with 5 Diamond Rift Bosses and then 10 Diamond monstrosities, liking his little life too much and not wanting to lose the privileges of the Idle System when he had to set off to face the experts of the Continent soon. [50 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 5 DIAMOND Rank Treasure Trove.] ¡­! A DIAMOND Ranked Treasure Trove had appeared! Granted, it seemed to be the lowest Tier 5 of the wondrous Treasure Troves, but it was DIAMOND nheless! [Tier 5 DIAMOND Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10 Diamond Cores], [+10,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+10 Random Diamond Rank Unit Shards], [+1 Random Diamond Equipment], [+20,000 Gold Cores] [+300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+80 Random Gold Equipment], [+200,000 Silver Cores], [+1,000,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+2000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]... A beautiful disy of words were disyed in front of him as he and his units were teleported out of the Infinite Crucible! It was loot of great significance in many ways, as most importantly was the finding of DIAMOND Cores for the first time in Noah''s life, A DIAMOND Equipment, and enough Gold Upgrade Crystals in a single Crucible run to call forth another Diamond Unit! It took him around 6 hours to fully clear up to the 50th Wave at this time due to the increased Gold Rift Bosses in Waves 41 through 50, but him repeatedly farming all 50 Waves would be much more beneficial even if takes the longer period of time as the loot one could obtain from them...was simply too high tier. His eyes swirled with intense light as he waved his hands to bring out the DIAMOND Cores from his Inventory, watching the crystalline white Cores glisten brightly and illuminate his face! This was his key to stepping into the next rank that very few beings achieved in the Ethereal Realm, a rank that any who did achieve it were stuck on for all their lives! Yet Noah was about to reach it in just days, his speed being something that would cause the natives of the Ethereal Realm to die of envy if ever they knew. WAA! A glorious shine emanated out as he began to absorb the Cores pulsing with energy, his eyes going towards the two Congrant Pegasi as he gave themand to utilize the 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals on them as the bases for the next fusion of a Diamond Unit! For the next few seconds, a light show pulsed out of the region Noah and his units were at as a powerful bellow came out soon after, the two Congrant Pegasi disappearing as a glorious 20 meter tall creature with a pristine white horn appeared majestically before Noah''s eyes. [Luminous Unicorn] :: A rare creature of the Light Element that is known for its gentle yet terrifying nature. It''s abilities include [Scorching Light Spear], [Elemental Reinforcement], [Rays of Burning Light], [Instant eleration], [Swords of Light], and [Photoportation] "Ho?" Noah''s eyes perked up at the details of the new Unit as he stared at the gorgeously white furred Unicorn that held a piercing horn and expansive white wings. He looked at the details of the skills that pulled at his attention! [Swords of Light] :: The call of a wrathful creature of light rains down scorching swords of light that cleanse all enemies. [Photoportation] :: The Luminous Unicorn is capable of teleporting itself or others with the use of light photons. ¡­! A brilliant new skill that caused Noah to veer over [Swords of Light] entirely, Noah giving amand to the Luminous Unicorn to cast Photoportation! SHAA! Like a literal sh of light, the Unicorn disappeared from the location it was at and appeared a few meters away, instantaneously! Noah stared at this skill as he gave anothermand to cast the skill, this time on Koddrys. SHAA! The enormous Dragon became a glimmer of light as it was also instantaneously teleported meters away, the light in Noah''s eyes shining ever brighter as he obtained a top tier skill with the advancement of the Luminous Unicorn! "Good! Let''s go back in¡­" With such a creatureing into his party, he became all the more terrifying as thereafter, the dangerous trek towards the 50th Wave of the Infinite Crucible that he went on to repeat was as dangerous, where the lives of none of the Units ever became threatened! After clearing up to the 50th Wave again and receiving another Tier 5 DIAMOND Treasure Trove, Noah''s 7th DIAMOND Unit was another Luminous Unicorn after he found its damage output and unique Photoportstion ability to be just too useful. He then spent a reduced amount of 4 hours as he moved with 7 DIAMOND Units to clear the 50 Waves again and obtain another 300,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals from the Tier 5 DIAMOND Treasure Trove, getting his hands on thest Upgrade Crystals he needed to obtain thest Diamond Unit! He chose to go with the tank that could also dish out ridiculous damage and Heals, getting another Pdin of Light after he purchased its Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store. THRUM! Aftering out of the Crucible for thest time since he came here in the past day, Noah stared breathlessly at the ridiculous sight of the achievements he had managed to obtain after just a few days. It was the achievement of looking at 8 DIAMOND RIFT Bosses, putting him in the upper ranks of strength if not near the peak of the powerhouses dwelling in the Ethereal Realm! Now...it was time for him to make a move! Chapter 89 - A Complete Team! Set Off The Face Legions! II At this point, Noah was like a rich young master with all the resources that he obtained more and more of every single day, while the natives of the Ethereal Realm always struggled just formon resources like they were peasants! The sight of 8 DIAMOND Rift Bosses and what they signified was just too ridiculous, Noah looking at them left to right with a gratified expression. 4 Dragons who were termed Champions of Aether with their own names, 2 Pdins of Light, and 2 Luminous Unicorns! RUMBLE! Their appearance of being summoned all at once seemed to cause the elements in the surroundings to rage, the Light and Aether Elements swirling around them shaking with power as a bright light shone in front of Noah''s eyes. DING! [Unlocked a hidden Feature- Unit Synergy. Current Synergy effect of half Aether and half Light Units, [Light of Aether], grants +100% Increased Mana and Health Regeneration, +100% Increased Attack Speed, and +100% Increase to All Damage.] ¡­! The surprises of the System weren''t done as from thepletion of 4 Aether Units and 4 Light Units, a synergistic party effect was seen as their strength was enhanced with stupendous boosts! "Ah¡­" He stared at the figures of the powerful Units in wonder as he sat down on the cold floor of the Waiting Room to continue absorbing the other 10 Diamond Cores he just received. Shockingly, he had already absorbed 20 of them as his body continued to umte strength, feeling extremely robust at this moment as it took arger amount of Cores to break through from GOLD to DIAMOND! THRUM! His body roiled with energy as only after the absorption of the 27th DIAMOND Core did he begin releasing a lustrous white, taking his eyes off of the stupendous Units and focusing on his own body as it began to rise in the air while releasing a milky white radiance. He was truly forging ahead! To the DIAMOND Rank that very few beings could achieve, to the rank that was the highest level within the Ethereal Realm he had transmigrated in! "With this¡­" RUMBLE Mana raged as he opened his eyes and released a milky white luster. His power seemed immense, like a single move from him could release skills that could affect the weather of nearby miles. This wasn''t just due to the powerful aura that DIAMOND Ranked experts released, but it was due to Noah''s strength that was enhanced by his Inherent Skills! With the advancement to DIAMOND, the ||Mind Dominator|| and ||Telekic Emperor|| were further enhanced as he gained a new ability in each of them! His mental energies raged around him as his eyes released powerful bursts of blue light, knowing that the power he could release while utilizing the abilities of these Inherent Skills were about to be crazy. ||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], [Remote Control], and [Dominator''s Consciousness] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-? [Evolve|Devolve]... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission], and [Field Master] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Ruler''s Emenation]... An extra ability was added to each of the Inherent Skills, Noah going ahead to observe them as he felt the strength of his mind and the force he released to have increased at a ridiculous level once he broke into the DIAMOND rank. [Dominator''s Consciousness] :: A Passive Ability that greatly increases the strength of the soul and consciousness of the Mind Dominator depending on how many beings he has subjugated and how powerful they are. [Field Master] :: The Telekic Emperor bes capable of creating three different types of fields of mental energies- an Attraction Field that pulls surrounding objects towards him, a Repulsion Field that pushes objects away, and an Aversion Field that causes nearby objects to avoid the Field Master''s body. ¡­! Wondrous skills that made the Inherent Skills work very well with each other! This was especially so for the [Dominator''s Consciousness], an ability that greatly increased his mental strength and made him feel like he could explode with a ridiculous amount of mind power when utilizing Telekic Emperor! As for the ability of using an energy field to attract, repulse, and cause objects have an aversion towards him...such a wondrous thing could only be explored with its full wonder when the time came. RUMBLE! His body rose to the skies with the milky white luster emanating from it, his eyes releasing tendrils of light as he waved his hands to cause the 8 Units to turn into streaks of light that returned to his Inventory! He then pulled up the Idle Gaming System Interface as he nced at 102 Rifts that were glimmering with a shocking luster of golden light after being left alone for over a day, clicking on all of them as golden words filled his eyes! IRON [+48,925 Idle Exp][+153,284 Iron Rank Cores][+3205 zing Armor]...[+4,468 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]...[+375,926 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] BRONZE [+59,355 Idle Exp][+110,375 Bronze Rank Cores]....[+3,945 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]...[+290,585 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] SILVER [+32,995 Idle Exp][+38,833 Silver Rank Cores]...[+3,934 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]...[+137,582 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] Nearly 150,000 Idle Exp that brought forth the next System Upgrade even closer, as well as a ridiculous amount of Cores and other loot that came with even more frequency as he grew more powerful. One must recall that with more powerful Units by his side, Noah''s clear time had a percentage reduction that caused the Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode to loop even faster! Noah let out a breath as after achieving DIAMOND and collecting a ridiculous amount of loot, only then did his figure leave the Waiting Room,ing out an entirely different being as he was now a force that might be the strongest on the whole Ethereal Realm! With such a power, he nned to now go forward to achieve his n of putting the powerful beings waging war under his feet- he nned to go decimate the DIAMOND Ranked experts of the Dark and Wild Continents! RUMBLE! His figure disappeared from the Waiting Room, reappearing within his vi that was busy with Blessed moving about. Information about the Legions of the Dark and Wild Continent was constantly being gathered and put together, especially their exact positioning and the location where their forces were about to converge and join together! With Noah''s reappearance, the figures of Annalise and Rose who were in arge hall of the vi appeared as they picked up the shocking aura he released. The two women that were standing powerfully in the GOLD Rank looked towards him with shining eyes as they noticed the aura around Noah to be ridiculously heavy, his gazenguid as he stared back at them while his body emanated power! "It''s time." RUMBLE! His words caused a change in the surroundings as the air became heavy, his eyes shing with a light of determination as he continued. "I''ll do things directly and battle with the strongest forces behind this...I''ll skip months and years of war as I end everything by simply bing the strongest force there is!" ¡­! His bright eyes thennded on Annalise and Rose as he continued with a light smile. "After that, you guys can choose how to lead everyone...and maybe I can finally rx how I used to." He looked towards the little sister he obtained in this world with kind eyes, the girl that was now a powerful Blessed at the Gold Rank and emanating an icy aura that fit her Inherent Skilling forward and hugging him tightly. Her voice was light as she spoke with a smile. "Sorry for putting everything on your shoulders...and thank you." Noah patted the crimson hair that didn''t fit the cold aura that his little sister emanated, nodding towards Rose by the side who looked towards her with bright eyes. After that, a figure shining with a milky white light could be seen flying from a nondescript Vi in Academy City, his path towards the direction past the border Cities of the Light Continent as he made his way towards the junction between the Light and Dark Continents- towards the location that the Legions of the two powerful forces would be congregating together before they make their way into the Light Continent for a bloody war! Chapter 90 - A Transmigrator Steps Onto The Stage! I The earth trembled as millions of forces moved their heavy feet in the form of multiple Legions. These forces had be evenrger in the past day as the Legions from the Wild Continent had merged their path and connected with the ones from the Dark Continent! There were powerful Golden Commanders leading the Battalions that made up these Legions, and there were the even more sagely looking DIAMOND Commanders who were floating with a milky white light in front of every Legion. Their expressions were those of excitement as these beings looked forward to thising war, such an action meaning they would finally be reiming their right to delve into the only DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift within their Ethereal Realm! OOOOOH! The blood of their forces was bubbling with fervor as they moved, feeling like they were on a grand conquest that would define their lives. Above these forces in the cloudy skies, two beings wrapped in milky white light were looking at them while talking. "They''ve most likely seen the movement of our forces, but it should be in our favor as it took us days to pan and put everything together. That little Crown Prince who used to be a snot-nosed brat won''t be able to mount up a strong enough defense in the beginning. We must use this to our advantage¡­" The Dark King was speaking to King Alexander of the Wild Continent, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke of the current Ruler of the Light Continent like he was nothing! Alexander nodded at these words as he looked at the forces below them, his eyes heavy as they seemed to carry a great deal of responsibility. "The masses of them have no idea why we are going to war...and their blood will be spilled the most on the battlefield. We couldn''t have done this any other way?" "..." A look of mncholy and pain appeared on Alexander, the Dark King ruling his eyes at this being''s indecision as he asked about something else. "Still no word on Warlord Steel?" "None." RUMBLE There was a period of silence between the two as a situation neither of them could exin continued. A DIAMOND Ranked Warlord¡­had just disappeared from the face of the earth just like that. They couldn''t locate Warlord Steel, and didn''t know the reason why he just disappeared! "All the Golden Commanders I reached out say nothing happened out of the usual, but the Vi that Steel was hiding in was just empty when morning came¡­" King Alexander''s eyes were filled with solemnity as he spoke, the Dark King nodding as he looked towards the stretch of mountains they had to trek before they could see the outline of the Light Continent. "We''ll reach the 10 Subjugated Cities in about a day, after that we''ll look at the scene to discern our trut-" RUUUUUMBLE! In the middle of his words, the Dark King was brought to a stop as his eyes constricted, both him and Alexander looking towards the same mountains that led to the Light Continent as they felt the tumbling and heart shaking beastial aura erupt out from the mountains, seeing the terrifying creature tantly releasing this aura a secondter as their eyes shone brightly! "What¡­!" "This¡­!" All eyes went to the skies as even the Legions below felt the overpowering aura, raising their eyes toe face to face with the terrifying figure of an enormous Dragon that shone with a milky white light amongst all the bursts of purple Aether around it. OOOOOOH! The Dragon roared towards them as the Legions nearly felt their knees buckle, the Dark King looking at this ferocious creature that actually raised its head towards the figures of him and Alexander in the skies! The expressions of these two Rulers were grim as they looked over at this creature, sensing its ferocious power that they actually remembered from before. It was a power they had onlye across when they dove into the only DIAMOND Dimensional Rift in the Ethereal Realm- the power of a genuine Rift Boss of this same level! "What the hell is this?!" The Dark King gritted his teeth while looking towards the oppressive force this Dragon released, not knowing how it appeared or why. Well, the why could be discerned as the creature was looking towards them with a cold expression, and this was the reason for their current grim state! In the next moment though, their eyes shook with even greater surprise and shock than when the Dragon first appeared, and this was because they managed to see something they had missed in the grandeur of the appearance of this Dragon- the fact that a being was being carried on its majestic back. The figure of a human...was being carried on top of this powerful Dragon that released an aura multiple times more dominating than a normal DIAMOND Expert! ¡­! With expressions of utter shock, they locked on to the figure of a man that could barely be considered to be entering his 20s, his fair face being spotless as his eyes glimmered with an intense blue light. Hair as dark as night stood atop his head as this being...looked towards the Dark King and Alexander with exceedingly cold eyes that were filled with utter disrespect and coldness! "Who are you?!" RUMBLE The grim looking Dark King bellowed out as the Legions below them came to a halt, his bellow being answered quickly as all 7 streaks of milky white lights that were leading the Legions below came up to float beside him. All of them...Blessed at the DIAMOND Rank as their faces were those of middle aged men that had seen the vicissitudes of life! But at this moment, they had grim expressions when staring at the DIAMOND Rift Boss as they felt like they were returned back to decades ago and they were facing the Boss of the Diamond Rift they were trying to reim. The being atop the wondrous Champion of Aether, Noah Eckert, looked towards the Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continents with exceedingly cold eyes as he had yet to utter a single word! Only when the 6 DIAMOND experts of the Legions of the Wild Continent also came up to float beside Alexander did he speak. "This is everyone?" "..." RUMBLE!!! Words of utter dominance and disregard flowed out as Noah''s voice traveled all across the skies, the expressions of the 15 DIAMOND experts in the skies darkening at them as the Dark King was the one to step forward! His eyes zed with a wrathful light at this scene he couldn''t exin, his brain churning out thoughts and possibilities as he looked towards this being. They could fight him and the terrifying DIAMOND Dragon below him, but it would require that 10 of them mobilize and spend the next hour draining the energy of the creature before they could bring it down! They didn''t have such time on their hands so he thought of alternative ways! "What can we do for you, friend? I haven''t seen nor heard of someone like you in our Ethereal Realm- are you a visitor from the stars?" THRUM! His words were careful as he tried to ascertain their situation first. His words caused the eyes of many beings to shine as if they finally understood something. The being in front of them could not be from their Ethereal Realm, as it was someone that seemed less than 20 years old and yet had the strength to control a DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift Boss! Noah looked at all of them with impassive eyes as after counting the 15 of them, he nodded his head while replying coldly. "I''m not a visitor." ¡­! THRUM! His reply caused the expressions of the DIAMOND experts in the skies to change once more as they looked towards him with shock and hate! "I was a nobody from a small city called Academy City- one of the first among those you allmanded your attacks to start on." RUMBLE! The faces of many beings began looking at Noah incredulously, Alexander and the Dark King only bing grimmer at these words as time passed, the others merely finding them unbelievable! "Impossible!" A Warlord bellowed out as he looked over the terrifying Dragon below the feet of the young being. If he was truly within the first few cities they sent these forces in, none of them would have managed to seed under his strength! Yet now¡­! "We have no ill will with you, and do not wish to use our forces to fight a battle to the death here when our enemies are at the heart of the Imperial Capital." RUMBLE The Dark King spoke with a cold expression as his body began to bubble with immense power, the dark skies bing even gloomier as the Inherent Skill of this being that forcibly became a Ruler of the Dark Continent was extremely overwhelming! "A battle to the death?" Noah said these words as a sharp light crossed his eyes, tendrils of blue light beginning to be released from them as he waved his right hand. SHAA A light of teleportation shed out as...another terrifying purple glistening Dragon appeared with a wave of his hand! ¡­! "This will not be a battle to the death." RUMBLE! He waved his hand again as on his left side, another fearsome Dragon nearly identical to the first two appeared! With every Wave of this hand, a terrifying monstrosity appeared in the skies as it caused the hearts of the DIAMOND experts to sink more and more, their gazes looking towards him being those of stupor! "This will just be a massacre." ¡­ WAA! What was this?! Just what the fuck was this?! Chapter 91 - A Transmigrator Steps On The Stage! II The Dark King had achieved a lot in his life. Even after being cut off from the DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift by the Ethereal Emperor, he had still moved relentlessly as he gathered other Diamond Blessed that were not trusted by the Ethereal Emperor, eventually crowning himself a king of an entire Continent! When his hidden forces within the Imperial Capital got wisps of the news that the Ethereal Emperor might be dead, he nned decisively for years until all these ns bore fruition in the past days, where he was currently moving with Legions being led by DIAMOND experts to reim the Rift whose ess was stolen from them. He imagined a glorious future where he waged war until the forces of the Light Continent fell, where he took down Protector after Protector until the Crown Prince trying to take his father''s ce was groveling beneath his feet soon enough! He would then pierce through the terrifying mobs of the Diamond Rank Dimensional Rift as he looked for the rare drop that would allow him to break through to the PLATINUM Rank...and he would then begin to explore the grander worlds and Realms in the starry space as his life would then achieve its glorious purpose! Yet¡­ Yet¡­! Why the fuck was a beingmanding four DIAMOND Rift Bosses appeared at this time?! The Dark King''s face was ashen as Alexander looked forward with a nk expression. As for the 13 other DIAMOND Experts beside them...their hearts trembled as mana surged around their bodies protectively! At the scene of four identical purple Dragons, their shock gradually turned to stupor, and stupor gradually became horror! If it was one Diamond Rift Boss, they would be able to handle it and move on with their conquest. Even that one would have taken over an hour and exhausted all of their power, but three more had appeared right after as they circled all around them to make sure they couldn''t even run! "This might have been inconsequential to you at the time, but did you think anything of themand you gave to send your first wave of forces to upy regions like Academy City?" THRUM The voice of the being looking at them with eyes releasing tendrils of light reverberated out, the bodies of all the experts continuing to brim with power as they were ready to move at any time, their eyes locked onto the aura of the four terrifying Dragons around them. "Your goal is the Diamond Rift in the heart of the Imperial Capital and bing the Rulers of the Ethereal Realm, yes? Why attack peripheral regions? Why send airships to attack regions that barely have Silver Rank Rifts? Why not just go to your target and defeat your enemies while iming your ticket into the Rift everyone is fighting for?" WAA! "What did the poor people of these small regions have to do with the enemies you all have in the Imperial Capital? Why did they have to be massacred?" Noah said these words as he looked down to the Legions that consisted of millions of humans below them, those on the Gold and Silver Rank who could visibly see them high up in the skies only looking at them in shock! He saw the innumerable number of airships floating in the skies that carried even more Blessed and materials as his eyes returned to the 15 experts before him for an answer. Neither of them replied as they still locked eyes threateningly with the Dragons around them, Noah''s body beginning to slowly erupt with more power as it was then that the Dark King raised his face and spoke! "We were only following the code of War! For the number of forces we had to move, we needed many resources if a prolonged war broke out! You cannot just go directly to the heart of the enemy territory when you haven''t weakened their influence or their source of resources...we could not just go to the Imperial Capital!" RUMBLE! The Dark King''s expression was grim as he spoke, trying to think of many ways to avoid what seemed like an inevitable confrontation the more this being in front of him spoke! It seemed as if he was an inhabitant of the lowly Academy City, yet it didn''t make sense for his forces to have bullied him as his Rank was too high for that¡­ BZZZT His reply seemed to have not been favored as the tendrils released from the being atop the purple dragon increased, his dominating voice ringing out. "You cannot go directly to your enemies? What do you think I''m doing?" ¡­! "You¡­!" Silence descended in the skies as the Diamond Experts looked at the Rift Bosses around them as their form of an answer! He came directly to them because he had the power to! Because he believed he could stand against them without losing his life! This was an uncertainty for them, and it was why they never went into the Imperial Capital to attack the Diamond Protectors within right away. They were fearful of the result, more so because their enemies had ess to the Diamond Rift and could enter it whenever they wished to improve their strength. The being standing atop the purple Dragon...reminded them that the reason they involved the forces of entire Continents and caused blood to spill...was due to their own weakness! RUMBLE The blood of the two Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continent bubbled at this p in the face, gazing towards Noah with eyes zing sharply as they saw this being merely nod at them. "Good. At least you know now." THUMP It felt like time was in slow motion in the next few seconds as the being waved his hands again. Mana trembled out as above them, a gloriously white-gold Luminous Unicorn made its appearance, its white wings eclipsing all of their figures as it looked below them coldly! THUMP! Many of the Diamond Rank Blessed could now feel the beat of their hearts at the ridiculous scene as with a wave of another hand, a simr looking Unicorn appeared below them as well. A secondter, two enormous moving sets of Living Armors that contained wondrous white light appeared further behind the circling Dragons as their auras were not the least bit weaker than any of the other Rift Bosses here! "...!" 8 Rift Bosses! The equivalent of beings who could stand them when we apply the rule of 10 Blessed per Rift Boss of the same rank meant 80 Diamond Blessed were required to stand against these terrifying Bosses. And this wasn''t even putting into ount the fact that they were High Tier Element Beasts! THUMP! The Experts from the two Continents could feel their heartbeats clearly as their bodies trembled while looking at the forces around them. Atop the? Champion of Aether, Koddrys, Noah gazed towards them as he spoke coldly. "In the next hour, it is going to be the choice of death or submission." RUMBLE! "Choose wisely." BOOOOM! The bodies of the Diamond Rank Experts exploded with power the moment these words ended as they felt immense killing intent from them, their hearts set to fight for their lives as the skies changed color. Yet before any of them could cast any powerful skills, an immense force seemingly erupted at the center of their forces, this terrifying force uncontrobly flinging the bodies of the 15 Diamond Experts in different directions as they were all sent towards the direction where terrifying Rift Bosses awaited! This was the work of the Telekic Emperor who utilized [Field Master] and caused a force of repulsion to push the experts away from each other and into the jaws of terrifying Beasts! ¡­! Horror was on the face of the Diamond Warlord from the Wild Continent who found himself heading towards the Dragon that had Noah''s figure on top of it, his milky white aura erupting out in full as he shook the force wrapping around him while preparing to pull back. Yet Noah only looked at this being coldly as he waved his two fingers forward, his entire mental energies focusing on this being as he released an Attraction Field that pulled the Warlord towards him at high speeds! [Dragon''s Breath]. WAA! The jaws of Koddrys opened at this instant as this Diamond expert flew like a missile directly into a scorching breath of Aether and death! BOOOM! ¡­! Terror spread out into the hearts of all those watching as it seemed they had been sidetracked by the 8 Rift Bosses that they didn''t look at the being that had summoned them too closely. It seemed this being...had terrifying power no less than the Rift Bosses he summoned! "Impossible!" The Dark King''s face was unwilling at having met such an unstoppable force right when his goals were near, his body erupting out with darkness as the sunny sky gradually turned dark. With a face twisted with reluctance and unwillingness, the Dark King called out. [Descent of the Dark Emperor]. RUMBLE! The skills of Diamond experts capable of affectingrge regions of space began to be cast, the Ruler of the Dark Continent taking the spotlight with his wondrous abilities of the Dark Element as clouds of darkness roiled down and threatened to surround everyone! At this scene, Noah''s eyes only shone as he gavemands to his Units. Themands were followed with the entire sky that was darkening...to be lit up brighter than ever before as terrifying skills were cast! [Storm of Decimation]. [Storm of Decimation]. [Swords of Light]...[Swords of Light]! RUUUMBLE! It was a wondrous scene that the Legions consisting of millions of beings below would not be able to forget, something that would be etched into their memories! The scene of enormous glimmering Swords made of golden light piercing through the clouds of darkness, the scene of dense purple tendrils of Aether shattering all obstacles in the skies as they went on to decimate their targets! It was the scene of the stupendous skills of Rift Bosses being cast at once as it made it seem like the sky had been torn apart! Chapter 92 - Submission Or Death! I The scene before me was something out of my wildest dreams, and at the same time...it felt natural. My feet were standing on top of a huge Dragon, one termed the Champion of Aether as three more just like it were brimming with power nearby! There were also two glorious looking Unicorns with wide spanning wings and Living Armors wielding enormous golden Tower Shields and Hammers. All of these things...were following mymands. Me. Someone who died inexplicably in my old world and was ced in this new realm, and I had somehow grown strong enough in such a short period of time that now...I was standing against the Realm''s strongest experts! Along the way, my personality had gradually changed as my emotions and soul merged with the body of the native of this world, the connections he had with his family being extremely strong as the loss of it affected me greatly. Even now as I stood on top of Koddrys, my expressionless face had a tinge of a cruel smile as I watched resplendent skills rain down upon the beings that began this whole war. [Storm of Decimation]....[Swords of Light]! THRUM! It was a scene out of pure fantasy. Luminously glowing golden Swords of Light formed from the skies, smashing towards the Diamond experts with purpose as apanying them were tendrils of dense Aether storms! The Dark clouds that were menacingly forming from the Dark King faded from such attacks as the enemies had to take them head on. BOOOM! A shower of gold and purple erupted out with the impact of the attacks, my eyes turning towards the Blessed I had pulled when utilizing Field Master into the jaws of Koddrys. "Ahh¡­!" His figure was disheveled and burnt in many ces, the milky white light within his body nearly drained just from defending against the Dragon''s Breath that released a shocking storm of Aether! WAA! My fingers made a motion again as while the other Diamond Blessed were just reeling from the first wave of attacks, this one that was injured the most flew towards me uncontrobly as an Attractive Force pulled him forward. "No..huk!" His face was that of disbelief and shock, my hands grasping around his neck as with his body drained of power where barely any milky white light could gather, I raised him to look into my eyes while making sure that Mental Field and Aversion Field were active around me for an extrayer of defense. While looking into this being''s eyes, I asked a simple question! "Will it be death, or submission?" ¡­! RUMBLE! It was an interesting sight, really. My palm around the neck of a peak expert as I looked down at him from above, my gaze cold as I found myself not feeling a tinge of guilt or remorse. There was just...the feeling of power I sought for, the power I wanted so badly to never have to experience being stared at like a bug again! Like something that could just be stepped on as I couldn''t control whether I would live in the next second. This is what I imagined the despairing Diamond Blessed to be feeling as he stared into my eyes, the tendrils of blue mental energy that I was releasing from my eyes only running wilder as if they were excited. After all, there was the possibility of dominating multiple DIAMOND Ranked Blessed today and having them under my wing! All that was left for them to decide was whether they would submit or face death! WAA! "Submission or Death?" I repeated myself again to the shaking being, my hand tightening around his neck as my own milky white energy tightened around his body. His raspy voice came out weakly. "...Sub..mission!" THRUM! My eyes zed with tendrils of light. The feeling of subjugation fully erupted as a portion of my consciousness shot into this being, [Subjugate] being cast as shackled were ced onto the mind and soul of this expert, his gaze turning nk before his eyes opened even brighter, a shade of blue being seen within! "Master." My hands let go of his neck as he fell kneeling onto the back of the Dragon, a glorious golden light descending from the Pdin of Light as his body was rapidly healed. I waved my hands to take out a Mana Potion and a Health Potion as this now Subjugated being took them reverently, his body beginning to be filled with power again as he now stood beside me just waiting for amand! WAA! This was power. Power that a nobody like me now controlled, power that I would not let slip out of my hands so easily! --- The shocking scene that just urred caused fear to fully spread among the hearts of the Diamond Experts that barely withstood the first wave of skills from the terrifying Rift Bosses. A being just like them, one of their ownpanions that they knew very well the level of his power! Such a being faced the attacks of the Dragon acting as the mount for the terrifying young man before them, his mangled body being dragged to this terrifying being as after the shining of a brilliant blue light, their friend now stood protectively and reverentially beside the enemy! ¡­! Seeing this scene, their faces twisted as they found themselves facing a terrible predicament, the words of the enemy they faced ringing out clearly once more as he and the dragon below him moved towards them. "Submission...or death!" WAAA! A dominating pressure was released, the Dark King feeling this even more as he bellowed out while casting skills, causing numerous weapons made out of pure darkness to appear around him as he bellowed out. OOOOOH! "Fight!? Fight for your lives and honor! Fight and do not Submit!" The will of the Dark King was strong as he would not bow to anyone, even in such a predicament! "We are the Rulers of Continents! We do not fall to a some known enemy." WAA! Every time he spoke, the materialization of weapons steeped in darkness became faster as with his calls, some semnce of fighting spirit shone from the hearts of the experts as shocking skills filled the air. [Wind Storm]! [Fiery Burst]! [Ice Age]! Skills capable of changing the very surroundings were cast, the skies changing from shades of blue to red and back to blue as deadly wind des filled the skies in one second, fiery storms the next second, and the ice erupted out to cover the surroundings a secondter! But...even with all of this, the DIAMOND Rift Bosses merely shook off these attacks as they couldn''t pierce through their defenses. The Pdin of Light shone with apassionate look as a second after the fighting spirit of the enemies were rejuvenated, it waved its arms as it cast [Hammer of Glory] towards the cluster of experts, the Diamond Blessed shockingly finding the Dragons and other Units moving away as an enormous golden hammer formed from the skies to smash towards them! "Defend!" OOOOH! The hammer covered a 50 meter region as they were all in it, their bodies glimmering with milky white lights as an assortment of colorful skills released from them to release the shocking impact of the Golden Hammer of Glory. BOOOM! It felt like their legs buckled below them as the sound of the sky shattering spread out, but their bodies shone with power as they held on, feeling the tinge of victory nearby! But this was when the second effect of [Hammer of Glory] appeared, where scorching golden mes erupted from the area of the sky the hammer smashed on as it went on to spread out 100 meters in diameter! ¡­! "Ah¡­!" Some still had the power to withstand, others felt their defenses shredded as the power of a Diamond Rift Boss was simply too immense. Yet as they handled the golden hammer releasing scorching golden mes above them, another Pdin of Light appeared below as with a positive look, he called forth another Hammer of Glory. RUMBLE! As above, so from below! Another hammer shot towards the 14 remaining experts, their eyes barely turning to see the expanse of gold smashing into their feet as scorching golden mes then erupted below them, Devouring the defenses of the weaker experts as this attack would take a few out ofmission! It was just two attacks from two Light Element Dimensional Rift Bosses, but that was equivalent to the attacks of over 20 Diamond Blessed against the 14 that were facing enemies on all sides¡­ The result was only natural! WAA! When the scene cleared and the hammers faded, the bloodied figures of the Ruler of the Wild Continent and The Dark King could be seen, their faces extremely ugly at this moment! From among them, the figures of 6 Diamond Blessed fell from the skies as if their strings were cut, their eyes nk as some of them nearly had their bodies fully Scorched by the surprising golden mes. Yet their bodies didn''t even fall far before they came to a stop, a terrifying force pulling them towards a certain direction where a young man stood on top of a Champion of Aether! Whether conscious or not, their 6 figures were pulled towards Noah and they were lined up in front of him as his eyes released horrendous tendrils of blue light, he once more asked coldly. "Submission, or Death?!" RUUUMBLE! Chapter 93 - Submission Or Death! II BZZZT! The blue light of the Mind Dominator shone brightly as I felt my consciousness explode upwards in power. The addition of 6 more Diamond Blessed Subjugated after the first caused [Dominator''s Consciousness] to go on overdrive, the boosts it provided causing my soul and consciousness to elevate at such a high degree that it felt like I was running on full energy even when I had been using my mana and mental energies this whole time! "Hmm¡­" A wondrous golden light shone down into the bodies of the 6 Diamond Blessed as Mana and Health Potions from my Inventorynded on their hands, the subjugated beings chugging them with fervor as their bodies exploded in power and they returned to their prime strength. WAA! They received my thoughts as their eyes turned towards 8 remaining Diamond experts that looked over here with fear and shock apparent in their faces! "Join the battle against your oldpatriots. Show them the way." RUMBLE! Their bodies shone with glorious milky white light as they erupted forth to attack the very same beings they had been moving with over the past tens of years under my singlemand. There were 15 DIAMOND Commanders in total, and I had already taken control of 7 of them! All the was left were the two Rulers of the Wild and Dark Continents along with 5 other Diamond Experts that were already heavily injured. They were up against 8 Rift Bosses and now 7 other Diamond Blessed as well! They truly didn''t stand a chance. I had prepared thoroughly and made sure to have aplete set of Diamond Units, taking me what, a period of 2 days? It didn''t matter if they were the Kings or Rulers of entire Continents! It didn''t matter if they were characters that were meant for conquest and power as they led the masses, against an unstoppable force- they could do nothing but fall! RUMBLE! Even the Dark King that struggled at this moment while trying to utilize his Inherent Skill of the Dark Element, a fairly rare inherent skill mind you- even he could not change the tide. Nor could the Ruler of the Wild Continent who was termed Alexander. His body rumbling with hellish mes that threatened to scorch anyone nearing, and yet their temperatures didn''t even reach half of the Golden mes that could be released with a swing of the [Hammer of Glory]! They just weren''t up to par against someone with a ridiculous System that allowed for the appearance of multiple DIAMOND Rift Bosses in just weeks after awakening it. "Submission...or Death." BOOM! The horrendous skills of [Storm of Decimation], [Swords of Light], and [Hammer of Glory] thundered down again as they lit up the skies, the figure of the defending experts bing more and more distraught as their Mana leaked from their bodies while they tried to defend against the horrendous attacks! SHAA! A skill not yet utilized in battle appeared at this second as after withstanding another round of shocking attacks and feeling like they had a second or two of breathing room, two Diamond experts just saw a blooming of golden light before terrifyingly powerful Luminous Unicorns appeared in front of then, their glistening sharp horn sinking into their bodies as they disappeared a secondter to appear beside me. SHAA! [Photoportation] was used as these beings didn''t even see iting, the Luminous Unicorns seemingly teleporting across the skies as they skewered the 2 enemies before they appeared beside me! Their horns were dyed red as I used my mental energy to pull the ragged bodies that were near death towards me, the tendrils of blue light only increasing in my eyes as I gazed into them while casting Subjugate, only letting their ragged bodies fall into the ground when I felt the two new connections in my mind. Golden lights shined down to heal them as my cold eyes turned back towards the now 6 remaining Blessed as I repeated again! "Submission...or death." RUMBLE! --- Fear. Genuine and unabated fear. This was what the Dark King felt at this moment! In the span of minutes, nearly all of them had fallen as only 6 remained in the skies, their states just as miserable as him. Below them where millions of beings were watching, the Gold Commanders that could fly toe aid them remained still, their hearts having been stricken with even more fear at the sight of 8 DIAMOND Rift Bosses! They knew that if their DIAMOND Commanders could not handle them, they would be able to do even less. So the Dark King could only watch from the skies as even though he had millions of beings filling up multiple Legions below him, he couldn''t use any of them as the enemy was just too strong! ''Submission or Death¡­'' This thought swam in his mind as his mana bubbled, sending out multiple Dark Swords to smash into a Blessed who was fighting alongside him just minutes ago, but was now being controlled by the enemy as he attacked with an expressionless face. BOOM! The horrendous skills from the Rift Bosses thundered down again as his body creaked from them, his defenses being torn down as he gritted his teeth while looking around him hatefully! When the scene cleared after thest round of attacks, the Dark King''s face turned ashen as he saw in the skies, only he and Alexander were left. Golden shes of light that were faster than even their eyes could follow had picked off the remaining heavily injured Blessed, all of them currently beside the terrifying blue eyed enemy as they were in the process of being controlled! The scene turned quiet as the ragged bodies of two Kings were all that remained in the skies, surrounded by 8 Rift Bosses looking at them coldly. The Dark King was shaking with an aura entirely ck in color, Alexander having his body weather in mes that burned brightly! These two beings...floated alone and injured as enemies surrounded them on all sides. The Golden Commanders and Silver Blessed that made up the Legions below looked in the skies at this scene, their faces ashen as they didn''t even know what to do! The enemy that had decimated their forces and picked them off one by one stood on top of the Dragon that trembled with the aura of Aether, his face cid as if he hadn''t done anything important. The emotions of the two Rulers were in turmoil as beside this enemy, their own allies now stood by his side as they were ready toy down all of their power against them the moment that their enemymanded! It was truly a dreadful thing as with their pride as Rulers, this didn''t want to fall into such a state- they didn''t want to submit. But the only other option for them was death! With his mind made up, the Dark King had a twisted expression as he bellowed out, ck smoke leaking from him as he made his way towards Noah''s figure. OOOOOH! It was thest yell of a Ruler, thest battlecry that the one known as the Dark King would release on the battlefield! RUMBLE! The Ruler of the Wild Continent did the same as the mes around his body rose ever higher, his body seeming like a dying sun that was shining itsst bright luster as he also made his way towards Noah. Ignoring the auras of powerful Rift Bosses around them, the two Rulers charged forth valiantly as they never gave up! Relentless to the very end! Noah looked at the valiant scene of these two beings charging towards him as 13 aura of powerful DIAMOND Ranked Blessed rose up in front of him. The Rift Bosses around his shone with Elemental light as horrendous skills were released towards the auras that flickered with a dying light! BOOOM! A terrifying sh urred a secondter, the Dark King being the one to take it first as his consciousness shook...and he nked out. The skies calmed. 8 Rift Bosses that released a terrifying level of power surrounded the region in the sky, others not being able to fully grasp what was happening within as the calming of the skies only caused them immense terror! A minute passed. The Dark King was the first to wake up, his mind having seemingly been foggy as for the first time ever, it seemed to be free and full of calm! His first thought as his conscious returned to him was¡­ "Master." THRUM! The Ruler of the Dark Continent kneeled the moment his eyes opened, looking reverently towards the being standing majestically atop the dragon as felt no shame- his heart only set on obeying themands of this being! "Master." The Ruler of the Wild Continent also kneeled in the skies with a fevered light in his eyes...kings of two Continents falling into Noah''s grasp just like this. Easily! Seamlessly! It was an event of stupendous significance, and it concluded in just a few minutes! Chapter 94 - Make Way Towards The Imperial Capital! I Noah stood in the skies while looking at the terrifying scene of all the DIAMOND experts from the Wild and Dark Continents kneeling towards him just waiting formands. It was a surreal thing to be able to do in such a short period of time, putting the peak powerhouses of an entire Realm below his feet less than a month since he obtained his Idle Gaming System! Below him, the Legions that created the millions of Blessed that were the most powerful from the Dark and Wild Continent stood waiting, their strength not having been enough to even contribute to the battle between experts that had now ended! There were many Gold Commanders that still looked to the skies with hesitation, debating on whether they should be up there fighting! But every time they felt the aura of the ridiculous Diamond Rift Bosses, their hearts were doused as they remained rooted to the ground, not a single one of them ever taking to the skies. They instinctively knew this wasn''t their battle! Their eyes turned upwards as the scene before them cleared, finally regaining a sense of calm after the sky had nearly been torn apart by the skills of DIAMOND beings. RUMBLE! Their bodies shook as they saw 15 milky white auras of the Diamond Rank standing strong in a row, their eyes cold and shing with a blue light as behind these 15 beings, the enormous outlines of 8 terrifying Rift Bosses could be seen! Four glorious Dragons that shone with lustrous purple scales, beautiful white Unicorns with wide spanning wings, and enormous Pdins of Light holding golden shields and hammers. It was a wondrous sight to look at! What made the eyes of Golden Commanders and Silver Blessed along with all those below them shake was the fact that the 15 beings obediently floating in a row in front of the force of terrifying Dimensional Beasts...were the very same Rulers of their Continents and Commanders that were leading their Legions! Yet at this moment, they seemed like mere soldiers that adhered to themands of another as on top of one of the luminescent purple Dragons, a figure domineeringly looked below and gazed upon all of them. WAA! The four Aether Dragons, two Luminous Unicorns, and two Pdin of Light began to descend from the skies ande down lower, the 13 subjugated Diamond Commanders and 2 subjugated Rulers going down as well, this action causing Noah''s figure to fully appear in the eyes of all beings below that looked like throngs of ants in front of his eyes! The bright blueing out of his eyes shone ever faster as he opened his mouth, a booming voice erupting from him as it was enough to be heard by the few million beings in the surrounding few miles! "There will be no war or bloodshed from here on out!" THRUM! His voice traveled out grandly as Noah announced himself at this moment, his actions having been so ridiculous as he now stood on top of the strongest experts of the Ethereal Realm that he didn''t worry about his identity being known. His gaze released a sharp light of regality that even Noah did not see, his voice continuing to ring out. "The people leading you all as Rulers¡­" He pointed towards the Dark King and Alexander who turned and made a kneeling motion in the skies towards him. ¡­! The eyes of all the millions of Blessed watching shook as they turned breathless at this scene, Noah''s voice continuing to ring out! "...are no better than the Rulers you are waging war on in the Imperial Capital!" WAA! "All of them are the same- incapable and greedy beings that will only spill your blood for their own gains." His eyes shone with wondrous tendrils of light as the many Blessed listening had their eyes and hearts captivated at this show of majesty! "I''ll be tearing down these Rulers from their thrones...and show them what it is like to lead others with strength and power while not sumbing to using their blood in exchange for gains!" ¡­! A grand promation was made as the milky white aura on Noah that signified his level at the Diamond Rank shone even brighter, oppressive power leaking from him and the Rift bosses near him as the Legions below could only listen. Noah gazed at them onest time as he coldly spoke. "Return to your homes for now. Whether it is food or resources...these will not be an issue in the future. Anyone who does try to spill blood needlessly¡­" ROAAAAR! The four Dragons under Noah bellowed out draconic roars to get Noah''s point across, their terrifying wings pping as they left behind tendrils of Aether while they began to fly back towards the direction of the Light Continent! 10 of the 15 Diamond Commanders from the Wild and Dark Continent followed along, leaving behind only 5 as two of them were the Rulers of the Wild and Dark Continent! They looked towards the Legions they were leading to war just minutes ago as their eyes carried a trace of cold blue light. "Do as the Mastermands! He will bring to us a glorious future where we do not need to feel starved for resources or loot¡­!" ¡­! The Legions of many Blessed were in for more rounds of shock as those they knew as powerful rulers were actually defeated and made to be someone else''s underlings, where they currently talked about the new master they served as if he was the savior of the world! Yet the subjugation of the experts within these Legions meant no forces would be heading towards the Light Continent, making sure that no unnecessary bloodshed would ur in the regions outside the heart of the Light Continent that Noah would soon make his way towards...the Imperial City where the core powers of the ethereal Realm stood, and the location of the only Diamond Rift within the entire Realm! --- SHAA! Noah felt the breeze of the wind as he stood atop the Champion of Aether, the auras of terrifying Units following him from behind as 10 Diamond experts were being carried in tow. The surreal experience of taking down the top figures of this Ethereal Realm with something he achieved in just weeks was still fresh on his mind, his eyes hazy as he went through the memories of the 15 newly Subjugated being to learn more about them and the Ethereal Realm! His mind was buzzing with power at this moment as his consciousness had been greatly enhanced with the addition of 15 powerful Diamond experts, going through their memories atputing speed thatmonputers in his home world would be jealous of. BZZT! His eyes only opened brightly when he neared Academy City, digesting an abundant amount of information from the subjugated Diamond experts! He learned of the only Diamond Rank Rift within this Ethereal Realm, of their memories about the past Ethereal Emperor and the Diamond experts residing within the Light Continent. It was an overabundance of information as the most unique was the Dimensional Rift that everyone on this Realm was fighting for. A rift that was the size of a Continent, one that took a team of Diamond Experts days to clear! The rift that one in a blue moon held a rare drop that was the reason the history of the Ethereal Realm yed the way it did! RUMBLE! Noah wanted this rift badly, his eyes zing with intense light as he gazed towards thends further into the Light Continent, towards the Imperial Capital that was filled with experts just waiting for his Subjugation. After he did to them what he did to the Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continents...then he could establish something new where the bloodshed that had urred in the past would never ur again. WAA! His many powerful Units caught the attention of many beings within Academy City as they looked up to the skies in a stupor, Noah ignoring these gazes as it truly didn''t matter at this moment! He left the Units and 10 Diamond Experts floating in the skies as they stopped above a certain Vi, his figure descending down alone towards the vi filled with a few subjugated Gold Blessed and tens of Silver Blessed working under the direction of Annalise and Rose. The two girls came out of the Vi as they sensed the shocking auras arriving in the skies, Noah gazing at them with a smile as he focused his eyes towards Rose. The lost Princess of the Ethereal Emperor. The girl many thought to be dead as her own Brother had cast her out for a mere test! "It''s time." ¡­! He spoke towards Rose and Annalise as the two girls clenched their fists, looking towards each other as they nodded while turning their heads to Noah. "It is time to descend onto the Imperial Capital and im the official throne of Authority of the Ethereal Realm...it is time to cleanse thesends of horrible rulers as we build something beautiful!" RUMBLE! Chapter 95 - Make Way Towards The Imperial Capital! II Within the Imperial Capital, a flurry of activity could be seen as in its surroundings, the presence of hundreds of thousands of Blessed could be seen clustered together. It was the makings of many Legion of Blessed that would be sent out to face the iing armies of the Wild and Dark Continents, as the experts of the Light Continent had picked up the movements of the enormous army being led by multiple DIAMOND experts! The Legions outside the capital at this moment we''re just waiting for their DIAMOND Ranked Protectors to set off with them to face the enemy armies and protect their homes. But...they would actually not be able to! "What do you mean the entire army is turning around?!" RUMBLE The eyes of the Crown Prince were sharp as they vibrated with power, his gaze currently on a being kneeling down towards him and the few DIAMOND Commanders beside him in the glorious Hall of the Imperial Castle. Currently, the Crown Prince sat on the lustrous purple throne as he asked the messenger that had been keeping track of the army of the two enemy Continents! The Gold Blessed that had the ability to summon a flyingpanion replied with a shaken gaze as he continued. "Something shocking happened before that of course. I was flying many miles away to make sure I wouldn''t be seen, but horribly powerful auras stronger than even the 15 DIAMOND Commander auras I could sense from the 2 armies appeared¡­" ¡­! "Their auras were too powerful as I couldn''t even count how many there were, but these auras appeared in the middle of the battlefield just for a few minutes, my eyes barely being able to capture the mes of light from the distance as it seemed a battle broke out!" "What?!" The Crown Prince''s expression was grim as Protector Chen and 4 other Diamond Blessed who were within the golden Hall had troubled looks at these words. Multiple more auras more powerful than DIAMOND experts? What did this mean! "But just minutester, the powerful auras flew away from the army as I had to scramble my summon to go to the ground and run, and this was because the powerful auras exceeding DIAMOND Blessed made their way towards the Light Continent¡­" ¡­! Sharp lights crossed the eyes of all those listening as nobody spoke! They wanted to know the authenticity of this shocking story, because the things it represented were truly too shocking. Foreign enemies they never knew about. Enemies that shed with the forces of both the Dark and Wild Continents and came out from it unphased! The Crown Prince had a difficult expression as he turned to his side. "Uncle Chen¡­" He looked towards the Diamond Blessed he trusted the most for what their next move would be, this Impartial Protector having a grim look as just when he was about to reply, he sensed a shocking fluctuation of power from the distance of the Imperial Capital! He wasn''t the only one as the eyes of all other Diamond Blessed shone brightly, even the Crown Prince turning his head towards the direction where they felt horrendously powerful auras draw near with every passing second! Their faces were grim as they flew out of the Golden Hall and took to the skies, leaving only the Crown Prince behind "Everyone on high alert! A powerful enemy is here!" RUMBLE The voice reverberated out of the whole Imperial Capital as many weaker beings and Royals shut their doors fearfully, the formed Legion Commanders getting ready as the auras of multiple DIAMOND experts to the skies as they flew towards the direction where they could sense the horribly powerful auras. The Crown Prince that had stayed behind had his eyes shining with a lustrous light as his body shone with a unique blue light, mana fluctuations erupting as a secondter, a blue light released from him and took on a form, gradually molding itself into a humanoid shape that looked just like him. A clone! The Crown Prince actually had the ability to call forth a clone as part of his Inherent Skill, this clone being identical to him in power and looks as a second after its formation, it rose from the golden hall and took to the skies to join the other Protectors of the Imperial Capital! THRUM! From all sides of the Imperial Capital, many glimmering milky white lights flew out as more than 16 could be counted, all of them staying close together in the skies as their eyes gazed towards the shocking aura they could barely see the outline of at this moment. It wasing at an extremely fast speed as within seconds, the outline became clear as the eyes of the Diamond Protectors could only open wide with shock! For enormous glistening purple Dragons! Living Armors shining with brilliant light! Unicorns of pristine elegance that looked extremely holy in the light! It was the appearance of terrifying Rift Bosses they would only evere across in the Diamond Rift within the Imperial Capital, it was something they never expected toe across in the outside world. But this wasn''t what caused them the most shock. Their stupor came from the fact that on top of these terrifying Dimensional Beasts, a group of beings stood calmly. An impassive you man on top of one of the purple Dragons, and the two women were standing on the wide back of one of the Luminous Unicorns! It was the identity of one of these women that caused the powerful DIAMOND Commanders to look forward in shock, while the body of the Crown Prince trembled at her sight! "Rose¡­" Glimmering silver hair dancing down her shoulders, blue eyes that were just slightly dimmer than Noah''s cerulean blue, and a purple dress that flowed down beautifully while emphasizing her blessed curves. It was the Ethereal Princess that was known to be dead, the being that had her life taken first before the war between the two Continents began! Her eyes were tinged with an emotional light as she stood on top of the Luminous Unicorn, gazing at the powerful beings she grew up around as her eyes locked onto the being that should have always been there to protect her. The being that should have always had her back as it was her own family! She gazed coldly at the Crown Prince as she spoke with eyes shing brightly with a wondrous light! "Brother." RUMBLE! ---Rose POV The changes were too rapid and monstrous. Even now as I stood on top of the back of a creature emitting an intense protective light, I could hardly believe the reality! "Brother." I called out to the being that Father left behind to protect us all when he went to explore the stars. The one that should have been someone to look up to, but he became a being that took power to satisfy his own vanity and even use his family members as pieces so long as it brought him gain! "You..!" He looked towards me with shocked eyes as he didn''t even focus on me, but the powerful summon of Noah that Annalise and I stood on and all the ones around us. Behind his shocked eyes, I could barely see a look that hadn''t appeared on his face since a long time ago- it was the look of fear that he only got when father was still around and he did something wrong! "I came back after my own brother sent me as a test in the Academy City, my death granting him what he wished as he is now next to be the Ethereal Emperor after this war with the Dark and Wild Continent concludes, yes?" ¡­! A sharp light passed through the eyes of my older Brother as some of the Diamond experts around them looked towards him in shock. "Rose...I''m d to see that you''re still alive, but I don''t know what you''re talking about!" RUMBLE! The Crown Prince showed an expression of happiness and confusion at the same time, and I just shook her head while I looked towards Noah. "I wouldn''t be surprised if he was the one to leak the news of Father''s death to the Dark and Wild Continents just for some ns he had but...none of that matters. We don''t have to exchange any more words, you can go ahead!" ¡­! --- Rose''s eyes were filled with an unknown light as they looked towards Noah, the being that had made many impossible things into a reality as she said they could go ahead! These words caused the Diamond experts lining up in front of them to have a terrible foreboding premonition as they looked towards the man who looked at all of them with an impassive expression. He looked no older than 20 as he walked on top of the purple dragon while looking towards them, his voice ringing out calmly. "I came to uproot the Rulers of the Light Continent.'' RUMBLE! ¡­! With a grand entrance, Noah appeared in front of the powerhouses of the Light Continent, bringing with him an Ethereal Princess and a girl that shone with a terrifying icy light! Chapter 96 - The Shocking Action From A Cornered Prince! His words caused a milky white light to explode from all of the Diamond Experts as they looked carefully towards Noah''s party, the Crown Prince locking eyes with his sister at this shocking situation as Noah waved his hands. With a single wave, 10 of the Subjugated Diamond Commanders from the Dark and Wild Continents appeared behind the party of the Dimensional Rift Bosses as Noah pointed to them. "The ones from the Dark and Wild Continent have already fallen. Now, it is time for those in the Light Continent." ¡­! BOOM! His words caused an explosive white light to be released from the Diamond experts of the light continent to erupt even higher, the Crown Prince looking towards the Ethereal princess who should have been dead as he called out while looking warily towards the shocking being on top of a Dragon! "Rose, what is this?! Why would you ally yourself with an enemy in bringing right to our doors?!" At this bellow, Rose only shook her head slightly as she didn''t even bother to speak. She remained on top of the Luminous Unicorn along with Annalise as their heir bodies were brimming with manna at the gold rank. The battle about to ur wasn''t one that could yet help in, and they were here to observe the shocking actions in front of them! As the seconds passed, many of the experts that had been spread out across the periphery of the imperial city to prepare their Legions to advance...all of these experts now made their way to the skies where horrendous auras were wildly erupting out. They all rushed out as soon enough, the full number of Diamond experts that stood opposite to Noah and the two girls after a few seconds were seventeen. Seventeen DIAMOND Blessed! Such a number would have made it tough for the forces of the Dark and Wild continent to pierce through the defenses of, especially when these beings were the ones that were regrly clearing the only diamond rank dimensional rift within the entire Ethereal Realm! But even with all of this considered, when putting into ount the rows of Dimensional rift bosses...what exactly could they do? Against 8 Rift bosses that were the equivalent of 80 Diamond Blessed, the answer was the same shocking result that urred when Noah faced the Dark King and Alexander with all of their forces. A scene very simr to what urred just hours prior began to y out in front of the Crown Prince as the enemy disyed the shocking power of his Rift Bosses against 17 Diamond Experts! --- "...!" It felt like time was moving in slow motion before the eyes of the Crown Prince. Aside from him, not a single being in the battlefield on the skies knew that the current him they were seeing was actually just Clone. None of them knew that the Crown Prince''s main body was back in the imperial castle as his expression became grimmer and grimmer when he began to see the battle power that the terrifying Aether Dragons disyed, along with the instantaneous movements of the Luminous Unicorns and the horrendous support abilities of the Pdins of Light paired up with their deadly Hammers of Glory that scorched the skies and caused any Diamond expert contained within their st to lose nearly all of their defenses with a single attack. Within the imperial castle, the crown prince truly did not know what to make of this shocking development of this new and overly powerful enemy rising out of nowhere as he now floated in the skies of the imperial capital and he defeated powerful beings left and right! At the end of this battle, this random being that he had never met would most likely be the winner of this battle as he would stand upon the same throne that he had obtained after so much hard work! This random being that returned with his own little sister that he had discarded long ago to initiate the war that would help him solidify his reign... He clenched his fists as he continued to see through the eyes of his clone the ridiculous power that the calm being standing on top of a purple colored Dragon continued to disy. ''Why?'' Why! This question repeated over and over again in his mind at this moment! All that he wanted to do was to be like his father, to look over the entire realm as the Ethereal Emperor, to know that there were no enemies in one continent or another that opposed him. He wanted to win this war with strength and dignity as he brought the forces of the dark and the wild continent to his side! With this he could have repeated what his father did tens of years ago- he could have formed multiple teams powerful enough to clear that dimensional rift within the city many times as they increased the chances of obtaining the rare treasure that only his father received. The rare treasure that let him touch the ranks of tinum as he became the Ethereal Emperor... This was what he wanted! Just to make all the experts within the realm bend to him as they explored the dimensional rift over and over again until another tinum Ranked expert rose! But... The situation before him told him that he would not have it.? As his clone gazed upon the ten diamond ranked experts that came from the Dark and Wild continents, he was able to recognize their faces...but not the expression within their eyes that was simply nk. As time passed, the terrifying being standing atop the dragon merely waved his hands as the tattered bodies of his own people, the tattered body of even Protector Chen uncontrobly flew towards him and he made these powerful experts kneel before him, a bright blue light erupting out before secondster...these same beings stood up and bowed towards him as if he was their new master! A shocking scene! A terrifying development! It was a scene that someone who had been working behind the scenes to make things happen for so long could not bear! As the crown prince saw the increasingly deteriorating situation, as he saw his own sister standing calmly as expert after expert from the light continent fell to the hands of the enemy that she brought here...his emotions became twisted as an intense light bloomed from his eyes. His body within the Imperial Castle disappeared deeper into this exquisite structure.? He made his way across the castle as he appeared in a small room that very few beings had entered in the past tense of years. It was the study that his fathermonly used to use, the study where nearly all of his personal belongings were left in when they found out that he had perished! The day that his Father had perished...he remembered it as if it was yesterday. When the Ethereal Emperor left to go explore the vast stars, he left behind a single Communications Medallion that he would routinely send news through or talk to his family. The Crown Prince held this medallion and was among the few people that had ess to it! On the day that the Ethereal Emperor perished, this medallion had zed with intense light as his father had been able to leave onest message before he perished! The Crown Prince went on the table of the study as he grabbed a crystal that held a unique recording function, putting mana into it as a recording that was taken a long time ago yed once more. "Aldrin! Oh and the little Rose! Everyone else that I left behind...I''m sorry. I''m sorry. I never thought things would turn out this way. I never thought how vast the gulf of power could be outside our realm!" RUMBLE! "I? never thought how chaotic the starry stars could be, and I never would have expected how vile people could be! I...I offended a force that I shouldn''t have, and their people are currently chasing after me.? If I don''t make it back, if you don''t hear from me again...consider me dead! If it is not my voice thates through from this medallion when it is activated again...do not reply. Please...do not reply. Otherwise, they will even find my home...they can''t-" ¡­! That was it! Thest moment that his father spoke, and thest words that the Crown Prince and the Diamond experts of the Light Continent had been able to hear. It wasn''t too long after that. Merely minutes had passed since his Father''s message when the Communication Medallion activated yet again, a voiceing out of it. But this time, it wasn''t his father. It was a cold voice filled with calm and regality, a voice that seemed to consider everything below it to be less than nothing as it came out calmly! "Hello." THRUM! "I''ve got the body and limbs of a so-called Emperor here in my hands if anybody wants to recover them." ¡­! "Hello?" A dreadfully yful voice that caused chills to all who heard it, causing the Crown Prince and many others to clench their fists in anger and grief as they heeded the words of the Ethereal Emperor! That was...until today. Until at this time point when the Crown Prince caused mana fluctuations to erupt out as a certain medallion came to float beside him! His expression...was that of grim resolve as his mana moved forward! Chapter 97 - An Invitation! The stars are vast and innumerable. If one ever got a chance to explore the starry space, they would find themselves faced with an increasingly dark void of endless possibilities, and it was only brightened by the glimmer ofs, stars, suns, and many more vibrantary bodies moving throughout! asionally, one might evene across the marvelous luster of a Realm. Within the Chaotic Universe, Realms were extremely unique as they were special pockets hidden in space, pockets that one could not find too easily unless they knew what they were looking for! For some, Realms were their home- ces they considered their only world as they lived their entire life in ignorance and happiness.? For others, Realms represented something else entirely. They were a stage above what one considered aary body, their high ranking being due to their spatial istion and the fact that within them were boundless treasures! These treasures were of course in the allure of Dimensional rifts, these unique constructs always and forever remaining the number one thing that every single being sought for in the Chaotic Universe. At this moment in time within a small Gxy in the vast Chaotic Universe, a being draped in a fascinating set of golden armaments was floating in the skies of a certain Realm as his gaze emanated immense power! The Realm he was in was extremely unique, the skies themselves being tinged with a fiery crimson light as the particles of fire within this Realm were exceedingly abundant! Below the feet of this being, red particles of fire could be seen dancing as they seamlessly held him in ce, with his eyes currently being locked onto the shapes of two Dimensional Rift gateways below him. The rifts shimmered with an intense milky white luster as they represented Diamond ranked dimensional rifts, and the being draped in a golden armament had a light smile as he saw the various parties of powerful beings entering these deadly rifts,? nodding in aplishment as he was about to move away! He would go to another region as he oversaw the workings of many rifts, just like this across a myriad of Realms andary bodies, yet he came to a stop a secondter with a confused expression as he looked at his ring finger- at the space storage ring that was buzzing with a blue light. THRUM! There was actually something that was emitting mana fluctuations within the ring, the being waving his hands as he brought it out.? His confusion was only lifted a few secondster as his eyes locked on to a certainmunication medallion and he finally remembered something from many years ago. "Well, well, well. Look at this!" His eyes became sharp as a twisted smile appeared on his face, his mana moving as it entered themunication medallion and heard a voicee out from it! The voice was cold and sounded as if it came from someone that had seemingly lost everything. "Hello." RUMBLE It was a simple word,? but this simple word was an introduction for something dreadful toe! It was the introduction of the Crown Prince of a certain Ethereal Realm to a powerful being that was part of a terrifying force, an introduction that moved the waves of fate towards a certain direction! The being wrapped in the gold armament continued to pour mana into themunication medallion as his other hand pulsed with a purple light that released from it and wrapped around the medallion, causing a thin line beginning to form from it and shooting out past the skies of the Realm he was in! "To what do I owe the pleasure of having someone reply to this medallion after so many years?" ¡­! As he did something the other party did not know about, he asked a simple question as he waited for a reply that only came a few secondster! "I know who you are and what it means for me to use this medallion, we do not need to y any games. I want to make a deal!" RUMBLE! A dense twisted smile appeared on the being draped with a golden armament, his other hand continuing to pulse with purple mana as the line beginning from themunication medallion only became brighter and brighter, shooting towards a certain location that only he would know about. He listened to the Crown Prince at the opposite end of the medallion as an apalling thought appeared in his mind! ''Finally...I''m looking forward to increasing my quota and adding another Realm Colony, especially one that has an Elemental Rift!'' THRUM! ---- Back in the ethereal realm, Noah was dominating all of the Diamond ranked blessed of the Light Continent by using the terrifying power of his rift bosses along with the subjugated diamond blessed. Annalise and Rose were watching on top of the Luminous Unicorn as at this moment,? nearly all of the protectors of the Light Continent had already fallen. Noah remained on top of the Aether Dragon as he merely waved his hands to enact an attractive force as he pulled in the defeated experts towards him and he then subjugated them! At this moment, he was going through their memories in the middle of the battle trying to glean more information about his current situation, his face bing brighter when he came across the information about the Diamond ranked rift these beings had been delving in, excitement welling up inside him as he thoroughly nned to delve into it in the very near future! But when he arrived across a certain memory from the subjugated protector Chen, his eyes opened wide in shock! It was the memory of thest message that a certain Ethereal Emperor left. A message of distressing significance along with themunication medallion left behind in the Imperial Castle! RUMBLE! Many thoughts crossed his mind as his eyes very quickly honed in on the figure of the Crown Prince. Seeing his dead eyes as he was one of thest few remaining in the skies, his mana wildly raged as he waved his fingers and caused an attraction field to wrap around the body of the crown prince and bring it towards him at a fast speed. BOOM! He grasped onto the neck of the body of the crown prince as he looked deep into his eyes, his expression very quickly changing as he saw Subjugation was not even applicable to this being at this time! Paired up with the memories of Protector Chen who actually knew the inherent skill of the Crown Prince, Noah''s face turned trim as his body quickly moved andnded on the luminous unicorn that Annalise and Rose were sitting on. "Let''s go!" WAA! He left behind the other rift bosses to finish up the few remaining diamond experts as the luminous unicorn shot like a streak of light towards the imperial castle! Noah would normally not know where he was going, but after assimting the memories of many of the local experts who moved within this castle, it seemed like the back of his hand as he very quickly arrived on the balcony of a certain area of the castle. The mana of the luminous unicorn sted put in droves as the balcony was sted apart, showing a hall that Noah flew towards. His mental energies wrapped around Annalise and Rose to bring them along with him as he had a foreboding feeling! His mental energies spread out from him and covered the entire Imperial Castle looking for the aura of the real body of the Crown Prince after he had thrown away his clone. "Brother, what''s wrong?" Annalise looked towards him while asking, but Noah only moved faster after his mental energies caught the aura of the Crown Prince in a certain location. BOOM! The three figures weaved across the imperial castle as they sted through the doors of a certain study where the Crown Prince was holding on to amunication medallion that had a monstrously powerful voice ringing out of it! "A deal is a deal. Keep this medallion active for another few minutes and I''ll know exactly where your beautiful little realm that produced an Elemental tinum Ranked being¡­" ¡­! "Haha, a rare Elemental Rift that has a chance to drop Universal Law Crystals...I can''t wait!" RUMBLE! Noah''s face turned extremely twisted and wrathful at this as the mana of the telekic emperor rushed out in droves at the Crown Prince that had turned his eyes towards them- his lifeless empty eyes that had actually sold them to a terrifying being! BOOM The hand of the crown prince was torn from his body just from the sheer energy that Noah released. His hand was disconnected from the medallion as the source of the mana flowing into it was cut off, Noah grabbing it as he saw the dying light fading from it, a white aura erupting from him to crush the medallion within his hands! When the scene cleared, the Crown Prince could be seen tattered on the floor, an arm missing and his expression twisted. His eyes filled with many emotions as Rose looked towards him in horror. "What have you done? What have you done?!" RUMBLE! Chapter 98 - A Rift Promising Supreme Loot! Drax''s face had been buzzing with excitement the more themunications medallion remained active, using a unique technique to trace the connection towards the location of the connected medallion as he was very close! The line extending from the medallion had crossed the vast distances of space away from the current Realm he was in as he could already feel it stretching across the vast space towards a certain region, this region being the one where the Realm that actually held an Elemental Rift was hidden in the folds of space. If he could find it...it meant he could manage a Dimensional Rift that could drop Law Crystals- wondrous Loot Resources that allowed the one who absorbed them to finally be able to sense the Universal Laws and be able to embark on them! The mana held within the Law Crystals was so dense that anyone that absorbed would not just experience an advancement in their understanding of Universal Laws, but they would also increase their Rank! This was the rare Loot Resource that the Ethereal Emperor had obtained in the past, the loot resource that allowed him to step into the rank of PLATINUM while at the same time learning a Universal Law. The crimson Realm that Drax was currently in that was filled with fiery particles and even the mes below his feet...it was all the particles that came from the Law of Fire. The Dimensional Rift that he was trying to get his hands on right now was even more luxurious¡­.as it was actually an Elemental Rift of a High Tier Universal Law! ''Come on..e on!'' He urged his mana to move faster after he spoke to the being who wished to make a deal, but his expression turned sour soon after as in the next second, the connection cut off! CRACK! The medallion even cracked a secondter as it represented the other side of it had been utterly destroyed, the thin line that was about to locate the Realm stopping in ce as it couldn''t trace it anymore. "Damn it all!" RUMBLE! Fire zed from the body of Drax as the skies around him turned into a hellish scene, his face twisting as his figure turned into a shocking meteor that shot to the skies, heading towards the boundary of this current Realm so he could enter the starry space and head towards the region that he nearly located the Realm! His expression was cloudy as he remembered the coordinates with rity. "I have the general region...all I need to do is search!" WAA! Yes! He had discovered the general region of the area in space where the Realm was located, being only seconds away from finding it! Since Realms were hidden in folds of space, he could only search every inch of this Region in Space until he found what he was looking for. This could take days at the least or weeks at most...but he would surely find the wondrous Realm that didn''t even have beings who could leave it, a Realm that actually had a High Tier Elemental Dimensional Rift! --- RUMBLE! Noah''s eyes were burning with intense anger as he almost snapped off the neck of the Crown Prince, looking at the shattered Communication Medallion within his hands as Rose had a cold look when she looked towards the emotionless Crown Prince. "What have you done?!" ¡­! The eyes of the Diamond Ranked Prince remained cid as Noah''s body that was raging with blue mental energy came towards the prince, the atmosphere around him crackling with power as he spoke. "He was contacting the same being that killed your Father...trying to doom us all by inviting someone dreadfully powerful into this Realm because he is about to lose his seat as the Ruler!" WAA! ¡­! Shock and wrath filled the eyes of Annalise and Rose, coldness beginning to spread from the Ice Queen as purple lightning palpated from Rose! Intense rage and disappointment flooded from her as she looked at her older brother that would doom an entire Realm with billions of beings just because he didn''t get what he wanted. "Despicable!" The lightning curling within her body intensified as it flooded into her hand, forming a palpating sharp lightning de that she furiously struck down towards the neck of her own older brother looking at her with cold dead eyes! THRUM! Noah''s eyes were even colder as his mental energy fully unfurled, the might of the Telekic Emperor on full disy as his mind constricted the body of the Crown Prince from moving even a muscle, the lightning de of the Gold Rank Rose thundering down and smashing into the neck of the Crown Prince! BZZT! A sh of light erupted out as the milky white light of a Diamond Expert passively rose to protect the Prince, but Noah''s very own intense milky white light erupted to descend onto the body of the Prince as the de his sister was bringing down...tore through the muscles and vessels as the neck was cleanly cut, a head falling down into the ground in a scene of intense horror. ¡­.! Even the Ice Queen had an expression of shock as she looked towards Rose and Noah, the Ethereal Princess that had just taken the life of her own brother heaving her blessed chest up and down as one could only see an intense light from her eyes! Noah rose up while looking at the body of the crown prince, his expression cold as he then turned to the destroyed medallion within his hands. He truly wanted an Idle life after defeating the experts of the Ethereal Realm and creating an era of peace throughout the three continents of the Realm. He wanted to dive into the Tower of Champion, Shattered Elemental nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible as he could grow as strong as he wanted before he ever stepped out into the vastness of space! But...it seemed fate would not have it as the dead fool before him had invited someone into their Realm before the dust could even settle! Because the connection was shattered, Noah wasn''t sure how long they held, their time being most likely days or even luckily weeks before whoever was trying to find them did. He would have to use this time to delve into the Diamond Rank Rift that even that unknown being that killed the Ethereal Emperor was searching for...and utilize the Idle Gaming System and all its features to grow even stronger! "Just when you think you can rest¡­" He let out a long sigh as he looked at Annalise who came tofort Rose and turn her away from the body of her older brother, Noah thinking of the many things he had to do in the very near future. ''The stabilization of the Ethereal Realm, Dimensional Rifts,? Tower of Champion, Shattered Elemental nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible¡­'' There were a great deal of things to do, but Noah ced his focus on the memories of the Diamond Ranked Blessed that had routinely delved into the Diamond Rift within this City- the memories that told him of the rare loot drop that the Ethereal Emperor got his hands on! This was because the Rift was an Elemental Rift, a High Tiered one at where the Dimensional Beasts one faced within it were tinged and burning with the elements of...a Universal Law! ''Universal Law¡­'' He let these words roll off his tongue as his eyes zed sharply, the images of the environment within the Rift that was filled with dangerous purple elements and beasts appearing in his mind. That''s right. Within this Dimensional Rift, the Dimensional Beasts were actually ones that Noah had read about before from a description of a feature of the Infinite Crucible of his Idle Gaming System- the Crucible Points that he could use to apply a [Curse] that would make the beasts within be [Darkbourne] or [Firebourne]! The Dimensional Beasts within the Diamond Ranked Rift within the Imperial Capital were actually [Aetherbourne], making it an Aether Dimensional Rift where the rare and wondrous loot of Aether Law Crystals had a very small chance of dropping! A High Tiered Elemental Dimensional Rift! This should have been the thing that caused Noah the most excitement, but it was actually the second best thing as his attention turned to features of the Infinite Crucible. He could start the Waves of this Crucible and choose any curses ranging from [Aetherbourne], [Darkbourne], [Lightbourne]....and such a shocking thing meant if he reached a high enough Wave in the Infinite Crucible, it might actually be possible for him to get his hands on the Universal Law Crystal Loot of not just 1 High Tier Element, but many¡­ RUMBLE! Such a thought shocked him to his core as it also bolstered his confidence! With such a ridiculous feature of the Idle Gaming System with him and the Diamond Rift within this City...even the enemy that was searching anding for their Ethereal Realm would have to bow before Noah as long as he utilized his resources currently! Chapter 99 - Create A New Dynasty! The Ethereal Realm was boundless with its borders. Its three Continents coveredndscapes broader than even Noah''s old world, this world of fantasy having an ocean existing between the Light and Wild Continent that separated them, and a border being shared by the Dark and Light Continent that Blessed moved across. Noah was currently in the Imperial Castle- in the area that used to be the King''s Throne as he stared at the maps disyed on a tall round table ced in the middle of the hall facing the Throne. The entire hall that was designed to shine with a gold and purple luster had an extremely oppressive pressure as many Diamond Ranked Blessed were currently kneeling in a line at the entrance of the hall while looking towards Noah''s figure! Annalise and Rose were to his side as they talked with him about the Ethereal Realm and what exactly they would be doing now. They had only been saying words before on how they wanted to tear down the old Rulers and make a better system themselves, and they now had to actually do that as Noah had ridiculously in a short period of time rose to the peak of strength in the Ethereal Realm, all of its expertsing under his feet as he now stood within the center of power of this Realm! The table before them was filled with papers that Noah and Annalise were going through, listing many things about the distribution of resources, mines, farming areas, factories- it listed many things that someone would have to keep a close look at, Noah shaking his head at all of it as he began to move away from the table and go towards the single purple throne that stood at the most elevated position in the hall. PA, PA, PA! His steps were light, but they seemed to resound in the hearts of the two girls that looked towards him and the subjugated Blessed that kneeled even further behind them! Noah''s light steps came to an end as he arrived at the throne, stroking its regality as he then brought his body down and sat on it. RUMBLE! Unseen waves of mana erupted out as a shocking scene yed out for the first time in the Ethereal Realm, a truly powerful being taking a seat in the Emperor''s Throne as this being currently had the strongest experts of all three Continents under him! There were many Rulers spread out through many worlds- Rulers that sometimes elevated their kingdoms through their power and wisdom, and other Rulers that caused the downfall of their Kingdoms through their own actions. The Ethereal Emperor had consolidated power and cast many beings as outcasts when he achieved the rank of tinum, creating the beginnings of his downfall as after he set off to explore the stars and saw true power outside of it, he fell as his kingdom followed years after! His own son even tried to end it and he realized he wouldn''t be able to obtain it for himself. Now, Noah stood atop the throne that these beings fought for as he wondered, how exactly would he rule? His cerulean blue eyes glimmered brightly as an overpowering pressure unconsciously released from him. He knew his identity. He was a transmigrator, not even a native of this world! He had read many stories and experienced a great deal of things himself as he knew his limitations and weaknesses, and also his strengths. What he was strong at...was ying with the Idle Gaming System and growing overly powerful in a short period of time! It was using his unique mindset as a transmigrator to allow him to utilize the features of this ridiculous System to the fullest, preparing for anything that mighte at him! From Noah''s experience, the being that was currently searching for the Ethereal Realm for its High Tier Elemental Rift most likely belonged to some big organization or power that ruled arge region of space, and this organization this being was from most likely had a connection to an even bigger organization that ruled quadrants of the space, and he wouldn''t be surprised to know that at the end of it all, there was an even bigger power that influenced the Gxy he was in that he didn''t even know the name of! He didn''t want to take the route that he had read many times before where he goes ahead and defeats a young master, and then he has to defeat the entire family of that young master and all their distant rtives, and then it turns out their family is connected to an ancient family of powerhouses that then be his enemies...he didn''t want the never ending cycle of fighting one force after another as they just kept on popping up endlessly! Even now, he didn''t like that he wasn''t given a lot of time to enjoy taking over the Ethereal Realm and enjoying his idling time, having to prepare for aing enemy that was in the rank of PLATINUM or even higher. Such a progression of events would be broken by him as he truly wanted to be idle! He wanted to utilize his Idle Gaming System in peace and grow as strong as he could, and maybe after he was stronger than everyone in the whole Gxy that he didn''t even know the name of that he was in- then he would go ahead and crush everyone while rising to the very top. So that he could keep his aspirations of never falling under the control of someone else, ever having his life or death under someone else''s wishes. So that nobody threatened his life or the lives of those close to him... This fantasy world he had transmigrated in would have many surprises for him, but as long as he prepared, there shouldn''t be any issues with the System he had on hand! He raised his head as he held a calm demeanor that even enticed the two girls looking up towards him, Noah speaking more to them than even the Diamond Ranked expert behind as his voice echoed throughout the room. "We have taken down a Dynasty that has ruled for decades...and we now have to build our own!" RUMBLE! "I know my own strengths...and it is not in kingdom management or overseeing entire continents! But...I do have the subjugated Blessed that used to rule under me, and I have two perfectly capable women that know exactly what needs to be done to make this Realm prosper¡­" ¡­! His words caused the two girls to blush as he then pointed to the Diamond Ranked experts behind them. "They are here for us to use andmand, and when ites to the resources that wars have been started for¡­" THRUM Noah waved his hands to his right as a flood of Gold and Silver erupted! Equipment, skill books, Cores...a fantastical amount of loot flooded out and began covering the entire floor of the hall they were in, rising up above the knees of the two girls and nearly covering the kneeling subjugated Blessed! ¡­! Their eyes all looked towards him with intense light, the subjugated Blessed having a light of reverence as they looked at their Master. "These are only a portion of the Silver and Gold Rank Loot Resources I have, with the ones for Bronze and Iron being enough to drown the entire castle." RUMBLE "My reserves alone are higher than even the treasure rooms of the past powers of these continents. So we have the resources that everyone fights for, and we have the strongest experts that we can use to establish order under our feet! It should be no problem to create a dynasty of peace and prosperity, to create a ruling that elevates the happiness of the beings within this Realm and allowing for no bloodshed!" As Noah spoke and looked at the boundless loot before him, he thought of all the uncountable numbers of Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Rank Dimensional Rifts that were spread across the Ethereal Realm. He had to make a campaign to clear these rifts and add them to his Idle Gaming System in Idle Mode, gaining an overabundance of Idle Exp as well as a stupendous amount of loot he could choose to pass down to the beings on thesends as he armed them to be capable enough to delve into the rifts with ease themselves! ''That campaign will onlye after I taste the Diamond Rift¡­'' His eyes shed sharply as he brought himself back to the current situation, staring at Rose and Annalise as he spoke. "The past Ethereal Princess who knows the Imperial Capital, and my own little sister that is much more capable than even me...will I have your help in running this beautiful little realm to prosperity?" THRUUM! Waves of unseen mana erupted out as the two girls looked up at the man on the throne with enticed eyes, where even Noah himself didn''t know just what grand of a light he was releasing at this moment! "Yes!" "Yes!" The two girls replied with enthusiasm as their bodies trembled with power, Noah nodding towards them as he rose from the throne. "Command the Diamond Blessed as you wish, addressing any one of them if you want to givemands to the Dark King and Alexander in the Dark and Wild Continents." "I''ll give out resources like these down here for as much as needed, just let me know! For now...I need to delve into the Diamond Rift within this Capital!" RUMBLE! His words reverberated throughout as they represented the true authority of the current Ethereal Realm, of a ruling that would begin on this day and extend to the foreseeable future! Chapter 100 - Aether Continent Dimensional Rift! The streets of the Imperial Capital that was the center of the Light Continent was currently filled with an air of mystery. Many Royals and evenmon Blessed did not know what was fully going on, only sensing a shocking battle in the skies just hours prior as all they knew at this moment was that they were in a state of a war! But the Legions that were just being formed were dissolved hours following the impact of battles in the skies, the Blessed being told to go to their homes and return to their daily lives as no war would have to be fought! There was confusion all around, with Noah letting Rose and Annalise work with the Diamond Blessed and the Gold Commanders under them to slowly establish order and begin veering the workings of the Imperial City and the many more city-states spread across the Light Continent to the right direction. This process would take some time as it wouldn''t all bepleted in a day, so Noah would let his Subjugated Blessed and the two girls take care of it while he himself...went towards the Rift that was the cause of many things in the Ethereal Realm! Protector Chen and 14 other Diamond Ranked Blessed were flying in the skies of the Imperial Capital with him, Noah watching the grand Castles and tall structures below them that really showed off the fantasy feel of the Ethereal Realm, the few airships that could be seen in the skies every now and then reminding him of their advances in technology as well. One would be constantly reminded of the fantasy of it all as small birds that held wisps of mes could be seen crossing the skies, the Capital below had many areas of farnd in the periphery that held vibrant vegetation and animals that pulsed with colorful lights! Noah''s destination at this moment was a structure that was built like a coliseum- this coliseum being the structure that held the Rift Portal of a Diamond Rift that very few had gotten the chance to enter. BZZZT! In the skies, Noah felt the emanations of manaing from the Rift as the Gold Blessed put in charge of the watch looked to the skies to see the figure of Protector Chen many other oppressively powerful Diamond Experts, their eyes not even ncing on these esteemed figures for too long as they nodded and went about their jobs! The figures of the subjugated Blessed and their Masternded in the wide Coliseum that held the Rift Portal at the very center, Noah''s eyes shining as he nced at therge portal that pulsed with a majestic white light. Very few beings had even gotten the chance toe near this Rift, the area around the coliseum-shaped structure being one that Diamond Ranked Blessed frequented as the nearby facilities all held powerful healing potions or concoctions for returning parties! It was an area of extreme importance as the Rift held dangerous creatures and anyone stepping out could be halfway through losing their lives and need immediate treatment! This was the only Diamond Rift of the Ethereal Realm, and it turned out to be a High Tier Elemental Rift that was known as the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift! "Let''s go!" Noah didn''t want to waste another second as he gave amand to the 15 Diamond Blessed he had with him, their figures disappearing into the portal that would lead them into a Rift that was actually the size of an entire Continent. When the light of teleportation faded, Noah and the 15 Subjugates Blessed found themselves on a ground that palpated with arcs of purple light. The area around them and even the skies above were tinged with purple, the arcs of purple light below them snaking up to their feet as they threatened to tear apart their defenses if they didn''t reinforce their bodies with mana! Vibrant purple vegetation could be seen around them, trees that seemed infinitely tall stretching above them as this area made Noah feel like he had entered a fantastical ancientnd of Aether! ROAAAAR! From the distance, roars of beasts could be heard as the party found themselves ced in the middle of a purple forest, their very surroundings emitting dangerous waves of Aether as the beasts weren''t too far off. "Master, we are always transported in the periphery of the Continent first, and we have to work our way innd as the core of clearing this Dimensional Rift lies in defeating 3 Diamond Rift Bosses that are secluded in their own domains." Protector Chen spoke with reverence as Noah merely nodded, going through the many memories of this Rift he could ess from the subjugated Blessed as he also spoke! "Three Aether Dimensional Beasts that divide the Aether Continent into three Domains, with you all slowly clearing the normal Diamond Beasts in each Domain before facing the Rift Boss, recuperating and healing before proceeding to another Domain and doing the same...taking you guys a day at the fasted or multiple days when some of you get injured." ¡­! The clearing method of the parties that delved into the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift was revealed as Noah truly found it to waste a lot of time, but he knew it was because the Blessed were Limited with their strength! They were lucky that the 3 Rift Bosses remained in their Domains as they went to clear each one, otherwise their entire party would be destroyed if just 2 of the Rift Bosses chose to swarm them. But going through the domain one and clearing every single beast across these purple colorednds that were the size of a Continent seemed like an extreme waste of time for Noah who needed the fastest clear time possible. "We won''t be going domain through domain and spend an entire day to clear this rift¡­" RUMBLE! Noah spoke out domineeringly as his mana moved, calling forth his Units as the skies above them shook, the images of 2 Luminous Unicorns and 2 Pdins of light appearing gloriously as the even more oppressive figures of 4 Champions of Aether roared out powerfully! Their appearance caused the subjugated Diamond Blessed to look towards Noah with even more reverence and confidence, their eyes locking unto him as they saw tendrils of blue light erupt from his eyes as his body rose to the skies. THRUM! Powerful waves of power from the Telekic Emperor trembled as with Noah at the center, they began to expand out rapidly towards all directions of the baleful Aether Continent! It only took seconds before Noah''s eyes opened brightly, his senses catching the powerful auras of 3 Rift Bosses that roared out angrily at their domains being invaded by a foreign consciousness. A secondter, the 8 summoned Units vibrated with power as a Pdin of Light, a? Luminous Unicorn, and an Aether Dragon shot towards the Northern direction! Another party of the same units also left behind raging winds as their figures disappeared towards the eastern direction! The remaining two Aether Dragons...Noah got on one of them as his eyes honed in towards the western direction of the Aether Continent, the dragons shooting off towards this direction as his voice rang out in the minds of the 15 Subjugated Blessed below that were just waiting for orders! "The rest of you scour the Aether Continent hunting for the normal Aether Dimensional Beasts. We''ll take care of all the 3 Rift Boss consecutively." RUMBLE! The head of the subjugated Blessed nodded as they looked towards each other with shining eyes before shooting off in parties of two or three into the dense purple forests palpating with Aether. Their Master was so grand that he sent 6 Diamond Ranked Units to face the Rift Bosses of two domains, taking the two Aether Dragons for himself as he thundered towards the 3rd domain to face thest one himself while the normal beasts were taken care of by them! With such a method, it would be impossible to evene close to the horrible clear time that the Diamond Blessed of the Light Continent had of a day or more, with there being a possibility of clearing this vast Dimensional Rift in just hours. With such a shocking rate of clearance and given the fact that Noah regrly received what others considered rare loot like Cores, Skill Books, and Equipment in droves through the Idle Gaming System, he expected the rare Loot Drop known as an [Aether Law Crystal] tond in his hands soon enough! RUMBLE! The Aether Dragon Noah was on tore through the skies of the Aether Continent fearlessly as the Rift Boss of this domain was already roaring out angrily from a distance, Noah ncing at the many powerful normal ranked reptilian Diamond Beasts that had also begun to take skies and rush towards them maddeningly. The beasts looked like variations of winged reptiles as their bodies shone with purple scales, their eyes releasing powerful arcs of aether as their sharp ws wanted to rip everything apart. It was a fantastical scene as in the next second, the aura of a Diamond Beast rose a few miles away, its jaws letting out a horrendous noxious Aether Breath in the air as it announced its entrance grandly! It had draconic features when one looked at its head, but the rest of its body was that of a terrifying serpent, Noah looking at it with shining eyes as one of the Rift Bosses of the Aether Continent showed itself. The most striking thing about this enormous Aether Serpent was the fact that it had powerful wings widespread and covering the skies, its eyes shining with power as it roared out angrily and rushed towards Noah and his two Aether Dragons! The battle for the only Diamond Dimensional Rift had begun! Chapter 101 - Hunting For Universal Law Crystals! I The scene was one filled with glory and mysticism. In the skies of the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift that was literally a Rift the size of a Continent, the glorious image of a being standing on top of an Aether Dragon could be seen! A second Aether Dragon apanied their party as at this moment, they were facing a rushing Winged Aether Serpent- a genuine Diamond Rank Dimensional Beast with a terrifying aura! Below them, figures of normal Diamond Rank Winged Dimensional Beasts were rising from the ground and reaching towards them in the skies, and Noah was looking at this whole scene with eyes that began to sh with immense light as at this moment, he didn''t give amand for the dragons to cast their resplendent skills as he...was the one to move! OOOOOH! He let out a vibrant yell as his figure leapt off the back of the Dragon towards the rushing Winged Aether Serpent, his eyes erupting with tendrils of wondrous light as the mana of the Telekic Emperor pulsed out powerfully. After subjugating the Diamond Experts of the Light, Dark, and Wild Continent, Noah''s consciousness had risen by a great deal through the perks of the [Dominator''s Consciousness] passive that made his mental strength even stronger depending on the amount and power of beings he controlled! At this moment, he wanted to see what the boost of controlling more than 30 Diamond Blessed would provide as his body pulsed with power, fearlessly staring at the rushing Winged Aether Serpent and the numerous winged reptilian creatures rushing up from below, his cerulean blue eyes shing as he spoke lightly. [Repulsion Field]. ...RUUUMBLE! The skies could shockingly be felt trembling briefly, a dense storm of mental energies erupted from Noah to all directions as it barreled towards the enormous figure of the Winged Aether Serpent and the normal Diamond Ranked Beasts rushing to the skies- this horrendous Repulsion Field smashing into them as the normal Beasts felt like the force of a mountain had crashed into them, their figures reversing directions as it seemed like they were pped from the skies and were smashing towards the ground! BOOM! The relentlessly advancing Winged Aether Dragon felt this terrifying force smash into him as incredulously, this Diamond Rift Boss found its advancement stopped as it was even pushed down, its eyes turning wrathful as when it stared up- it saw the image of a single being staring down towards it with tendrils of blue light shing from his eyes. Coldly looking down at it with eyes that made it seem he was above it in status! Above the regality of a Diamond Rift Boss like it! ROAAAR! The Winged Aether Serpent roared angrily as such a provocation, Aether erupting from its wings and jaws as it elerated towards Noah while burning as much mana as possible. But this was when two Aether Dragons reappeared beside Noah, their jaws ready as they released baleful Dragon''s Breath, a shocking battle beginning in this domain as ones simr to it were already ongoing in 2 other Domains! The two parties of an Aether Dragon, Pdin of Light, and a Luminous Unicorn made for a deadlybination as they thundered into the domains of the other two Diamond Rank Rift Bosses, beginning to siege these powerful creatures and any normal Dimensional Beasts within this Rift as these two parties were actually the fastest ones! You then had the 15 Diamond Blessed Noah brought along who were in charge of sweeping across all three Domains to take care of the normal ranked Diamond Dimensional Beasts, their jobs being reduced to wading across the continental sized Rift to take down any hiding normal beasts until the Rift was cleared. Like this, a Rift that had been giving the experts of the Ethereal Realm decades of headaches on how to clear efficiently and in a short period of time began to be cleared with the goal of it being finished in a matter of hours if not less- nothing as ludicrous as an entire day or multiple days being taken before one could clear the Rift taking ce! With the ridiculously powerful skills of the Units as well as the simple fact of it being 3 Diamond Rift Bosses against 1, the Bosses of the other two Domains were taken down in under an hour- the resiliency of these terrifying Diamond Ranked Bosses being something not to be taken lightly. Noah and the two Aether Dragons took 15 minutes longer before the wings of the Winged Aether Serpent were torn off as blood rained from the skies, the body of the Rift Boss smashing into the ground as its remaining life force was decimated with a [Storm of Decimation]! THRUM! The Rift Boss shone gloriously as from it, an explosion of loot urred as Noahid his eyes on three Glimmering Diamond Cores, his mental energies moving out as they floated into his palm where he looked at them curiously. He then nced at the few remaining normal ranked Dimensional Beasts on the purple forest below him, giving amand while the Diamond Core within his hand began to be absorbed by him! "Wipe out the rest of the Beasts within this Continent, and let''s be quick!" ROAR! The Aether Dragons nodded with fervor as they moved out to thends below them, Noah continuing to absorb the Diamond Cores as this Rank was as vast as it could be, needing a great deal of Cores to be absorbed before one even thought of reaching the peak of it. A lustrous milky white light erupted in the skies as Noah utilized the loot of the Rift early, his Units and Subjugated Diamond Blessed wading through the entire Aether Continent defeating the normal Diamond Rank Dimensional Beasts. Loot was continuously picked up by any that came across it, with the Loot from the other 2 Diamond Rift Bosses defeated by his Units only amounting to 7 Diamond Cores! It meant that this run of the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift bore the same results that Noah read from the memories of many Blessed! Merely Cores as even Equipment was rare. The even more elusive Universal Law Crystal...was even harder to be found as nothing was in sight even as the beasts of the Rift were about to be cleared. It wasn''t too long as just about half an hourter, a glorious light shone out across the Continent to signify itspletion, an enormous white runic magic circle appearing in the skies as a prompt appeared in front of Noah for what felt like a long time in a while! [The Aether Continent Dimensional Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] ¡­! A magisterial prompt that made Noah nod with a smile, recalling his Units and Subjugated Blessed as he made his way over to the shining runic magic circle. As for his clear time of this Diamond Rift? It was only a bit over 2 hours! It took him 2 hours to do what the Blessed of this Continent were taking a day or multiple days toplete! This incredible reality meant that from now on, he would obtain arge amount of loot even greater than one could possibly get from just clearing the Dimensional Rift alone every 2 hours. The chance of obtaining Universal Law Crystals...heavily increased! RUMBLE! Only a glimmering white light was left behind as Noah disappeared from the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift! His figure shed back in the skies of the Ethereal Realm as he and the Diamond Blessed moved back towards the Imperial Castle, the Blessed on guard only turning to her skies in shock when they realized that only 2 hours had passed, and yet the esteemed Diamond Commanders that had entered the Rift actually came out¡­ Not caring at the scene of shock he left behind him, Noah was looking at his Idle Gaming System Interface as he saw the addition of the milky white Rift that had streaks of purple be added among the rifts in Idle Mode! In the golden square shaped golden interface, the lines of rifts went from Iron to Silver as Gold was entirely skipped to Diamond, Noah''s eyes going to the brilliantly shining Rifts from 10 cities that had long since passed 24 hours. SHAA! A brilliant light shed in his eyes as the gorgeous numbers of Loot and Idle Exp were disyed! IRON [+47,394 Idle Exp][+155,050 Iron Rank Cores][+3456 zing Armor]...[+5342 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]...[+335,583 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] BRONZE [+61,305 Idle Exp][+112,737 Bronze Rank Cores]....[+4,245 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]...[+290,256 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] SILVER [+35,935 Idle Exp][+38,924 Silver Rank Cores]...[+3,735 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]...[+164,387 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] "...Good!" He was always speechless when seeing the ridiculous numbers of loot, but it seemed like it would never be enough as at this moment, he was already nning his next steps after the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift to obtain an even greater amount of Loot! This time...it was for him to lock himself in the Infinite Crucible as he yed around with the [Crucible Points] to curse the Dimensional Beasts with Elements, his hunt for Universal Law Crystals only just beginning! Chapter 102 - Hunting For Universal Law Crystals! II Rose was walking across the halls of the Imperial Castle, hours after things had settled down as at this moment- the Royalty that had hidden when the sounds of war began finally stepped out. Her younger and older sisters that she hadn''t seen in what seemed a long time even though it had just been weeks all looked towards her in shock, where even the sight of her aggrieved mother nearly made her tear up before she reminded herself to be strong! She would easily handle her Family and any other Royals of the Imperial Capital as at this moment, she had Diamond Blessed she couldmand while she herself was in the Gold Rank! Even if the Royalty did not work to listen to her, pure force would be used to convince them otherwise. Many reformations and projects were already underway as she thought of the person that made this all possible. Yet...she didn''t even have to think about him for too long before her eyes perked up, picking up his aura as she sensed his overpowering pressure descending down into the Imperial Castle just hours after he left! Rose was surprised as she followed his aura and saw himnd on a balcony while walking into the castle, and she couldn''t help but ask as she saw his refreshing smile. "I thought you went to clear the Diamond Rank Rift?" Thest time Noah left was for him to clear the Rift with the Diamond Blessed, and yet he returned in just a bit over 2 hours as Rose couldn''t help but question! "Hmm? I did, it didn''t take too long. I''ll be gone even longer for the next day or two though, I came to give you and Annalise some gifts before then." ¡­! Rose looked towards this being incredulously as he imed to have cleared a Rift that took others days in just 2 hours, watching him wave out glimmering Diamond Cores towards her as she only shook her head in shock and awe! Noah came to just give Rose and Annalise some of the Diamond Rank Cores to enhance their power even more as they prepared to enter the Diamond Rank, and he himself might be gone for the next day or two as he nned to fully delve into the features of the Idle Gaming System- especially the Infinite Crucible where the possibility of farming Universal Law Crystals existed! After checking and making sure everything was going well within the Imperial Capital, he let loose the 15 Diamond Experts he used for the Diamond Rank Rift, letting them fall under the hands of Rose and Annalise as these powerful beings would all be gettingmands to move out and establish stability throughout the Ethereal Realm. When there was one singr power that didn''t care for wealth or resources at the lead, the Ethereal Realm was boundless to prosper as Noah expected this Realm to be even more vibrant in the future! WAA! He left the Ethereal Realm as he was shuttled through space soon after, arriving back in the Waiting Room where multiple features of the Idle Gaming Systemy before him. From the Tower of Champions to the Dimensional Store, Infinite Crucible, and even...the Shattered Elemental nes Rifts that actually had a new High Tier Element Right now! It was shining brilliantly with a beautiful green light, the incredible aura of Life emanating out in full as Moah came across the Shattered Life ne Rift for the first time. The High Tier Element of Life! This Shattered Elemental nes Rift would be simr to the Infinite Crucible where if he reached a high enough point, the Supreme Loot of Universal Law Crystals might actually appear! "Let''s get started¡­" He has a bright smile as he prepared to begin his farming session, visiting the Dimensional Store as he went to the [Food] section of the Gold Ranked Items and bought for himself many of the unique sounding dishes such as [Braised Drake Wing] and [Smoked Pegasus Strips]. If he was going to lock himself with the task of farming in the next day or two, he would at least enjoy himself and the boons that the Dimensional Store provided while he dove into the Infinite Crucible and Shattered Elemental nes Rift! As he saw the timer of 2 days and 10 hours remaining for the Shattered Life nes Dimensional Rift, he nodded his head as he still nned to check out how far he could clear the Waves of Beasts within the Infinite Crucible when he cursed them with [Aetherbourne], and exactly what Treasure Trove would hold Universal Law Crystals within! RUMBLE His figure shone with bright light as he appeared in front of the enormous portal of the Infinite Crucible, his purchases from the Dimensional Store already in his Inventory as he delved in. Before he started, he made his intentions clear as the moment his figure was shuttled andnded on the expansive Crucible floor, a message prompt showed up in front of him! [The Master of the Idle Gaming System has selected the [Aetherbourne] curse. -40 Crucible Points deducted. Happy hunting.] ¡­! Noah saw the far away portals where countless beats popped out from bing tinged purple as they began to vibrate, the entire tnd around him bing tinged purple as the roars of Aether Beasts began to resonate out! THRUM! In droves, Iron Ranked Aether Dimensional Beasts began to rush out of the purple portals as Noah had a light smile while Summoning the 8 Units he could control. Dragons, Unicorns, and Pdins of immense might appeared as they gazed coldly at the weak beings, a farming session unlike anything Noah had gone through before starting at this time! BOOOM! Thunder began to rain down as the weaker? Waves of the Infinite Crucible began to be cleared out at fast speeds, Noah relentlessly going forward as 10 waves were cleared in a matter of minutes. None of the Beasts or even the Rift Bosses up until the 49th Wave could do anything to him, the difficulty of the Waves only being twice as difficult as the normal mode of the Infinite Crucible! The 50th Wave where he faced a Hellfire Cerberus before...this time two ridiculously oversized Beasts of the Aether Element appeared, each of the three-headed dogs roaring out as if they were about to dominate theing battles, but against 8 Rift Bosses of High Tier Elements, they were of course taken down! This resulted in Noah clearing the 50th Wave once more, this being the point he never passed before as at this point...he chose to continue! RUMBLE! His expression was determined as he already knew the rewards of the 50th floor from the past times, and a Universal Law Crystal was unlikely from this Wave as he put his life on the line toplete up to the 60th Wave. WAA! The purple portals released even more terrifying Beasts past the 50th Wave, Noah facing 4 Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses on the next 3 waves, and this was increased to 6 Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses for the 54th to 56th Wave...where he finally faced an equal amount of Rift Bosses that matched his Units on the 57th until the 59th Wave! No matter what type of Aether Beast it was, they fell under Noah''s terrifying Units as his only challenge remained when the 60th Wave started...and the terrifying roars of 10 Diamond Rift Bosses appeared. "..." Noah steeled his heart as he breathed in, beginning a terrifying battle as he had to fully participate and coordinate the Units this time around to evade the attacks of the 10 Diamond Rift Bosses. After two close calls where Potions had to be dawned in full, he finally managed to take down two Rift Bosses in order to reduce the pressure they faced, the remaining battle being fought against Bosses of equal numbers as it was only a matter of time! With Noah''s Potions and the Units supporting each other with the Pdins of Light and Aether Dragons moving as Tanks and attackers while the Luminous Unicorns used [Photoportation] to sneak in deadly attacks at speeds they could barely be seen at...all remaining 8 Rift Bosses fell in under half an hour! THRUM! Thest Aether Rift Boss his the floor as Noah was breathing hard, feeling ever past of his brain aching as he had used a tremendous amount of his mental power. But as he denied continuing the Infinite Crucible and ending things of Wave 60, the next set of hearts set his heart at ease as he was rewarded! [60 Waves of [Aetherbourne] Beasts Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 2 DIAMOND? Rank Aether Treasure Trove.] ¡­! A Treasure Trove...one that had thebel of Aether Treasure Trove had appeared! A brilliant sh of light shone out as Noha opened the Treasure Trove right away. [Tier 2 DIAMOND Rank Aether Treasure Trove] :: [+1 Aether Universal Law Crystal], [+100 Diamond Cores], [+20,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+30 Random Diamond Rank Unit Shards], [+5 Random Diamond Equipment], [+80,000 Gold Cores] [+500,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Random Gold Equipment], [+800,000 Silver Cores], [+3,000,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+5000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]... ¡­! Something beautiful made its appearance from the Aether Treasure Trove! Chapter 103 - A High Tier Law Is The First! An Aether Universal Law Crystal! Out of all the loot that Noah had received, this was the one he looked forward to the most! The 100 Diamond Cores were incredible, the 20,000 Diamond Upgrade Crystals were even more wondrous, but the Aether Universal Law Crystal...that was something so rare that it drove the destiny of the beings of an entire Realm. Yet Noah had received it after his first Infinite Crucible run where he utilized Crucible Points to form waves of Aetherbourne Dimensional Beasts! His body and the figures of his Units were teleported into the Waiting Room as the Waves had ended, and Noah''s hungry eyes couldn''t wait any longer as he opened his inventory and pulled out the crystal that glimmered with an intense purple luster. The purple crystal looked like an octahedron, being something that fit in the palm of his hands as it pulsed with intense light that seemed to want to bury into his hands! Its description came up as his eyes focused on it. [Aether Universal Law Crystal](Minor) :: A crystal that contains unique properties, its essence denser than even normal Diamond Cores. It is capable of propelling the advancement of the Universal Law of Aether by anyone capable of absorbing it. As it is a Minor Crystal, it is only capable of increasing theprehension of the Universal Law by .1%. ¡­! Its description was wonderful enough by itself that Noah made the intention, sending his thoughts forward as the purple colored crystal began to shine with a bright light...this light sinking into his palm as he began to absorb it! Weeks after his transmigration into this wondrous new Realm, he forged his path forward as he absorbed a Universal Law Crystal to beginprehending the natural Laws of the Universe! --- As one being made advancements in one region, so did another. Drax, the being that the long gone Crown Prince of the Ethereal Realm had called upon...this being had made his way towards the location that the coordinates of themunication medallion were lost as he didn''t even bother letting the other beings he worked with know what he found! As someone that managed the farming of Dimensional Rifts in multiple Worlds and Realms, his pay depended on the highest rank of a Rift that was found in thends he managed. Getting his hands on a Diamond Ranked Rift that was an Aether Element Rift capable of rarely dropping a Universal Law Crystal...such a thing would propel him to a high status as it would guarantee a monthly pay of at least one Low Tier Universal Law Crystal! RUMBLE! His figure streaked across space as many thoughts flowed in his mind, his body d in mes as he looked like a being that was naturally born from the most hellish locations. But this was merely hisprehensions in the Law of Fire that he had stepped on by choosing this type of Universal Law Crystal as hispensation for all the Worlds and Realms he took care of. As for his body floating freely in space with a fewary bodies being seen not too far from him...it was of course due to the fact that this being was stably in the peak of the PLATINUM Realm! As for his strongest point, it was of course hisprehensions in the normal Law of Fire, hisprehensions having reached over 20% as even with this, he was capable of easily sweeping the floor with the past Ethereal Emperor who barelyprehended less than a percentage of a High Tier Law. Even if it was a High Tier Law, if one barely heldprehensions in it...they would not be able to utilize as much power as a being that held a high percentage in another Universal Law! WAA! The figure of Drax came to a stop in a certain location as mes spread out all around him, looking at the region in front of him as this was where he would begin his search. He would search until he found the Ethereal Realm hidden in the folds of space...and he would then bring its strongest natives under his heel as he offered this new Realm Colony to elevate his position even further. As for who or what he would offer the Ethereal Realm as a Realm Colony to? "The Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers...I will ascend its ranks for sure!" RUMBLE! His eyes shed with a sharp light as his aura began to spread out and begin his search, his voice that echoed out across space revealing some information of what organization he belonged to as this being searched for the Ethereal Realm! --- Within the Ethereal Realm itself, the natives within were experiencing a tremendous amount of changes! This was all due to the cohesive and unified movements of multiple Diamond Ranked experts, these powerful beingsing out of their high castles as they spread their power and influence over the three Continents whilemanding Golden Blessed...all of them not waging war or tyranny as they moved to establish order and provide resources. Resources! Whether it was dpidated City-States in the Dark and Wild Continents or the wealthy City-States within the Light Continent- all regions received the influence of a Diamond Ranked Expert as the many problems that the locals faced were reduced as within the cities, there was a vast distribution of Equipment, Skill Books, and Cores ranging from Bronze to Silver. Selections of who received them were based on merit and strength, these beings taking in this chance to delve into the Rifts within their Cities as in theing days and weeks within the Ethereal Realm, there was bound to be an explosion of resources and beings rising in power as the Dimensional Rifts would be cleared in fervor! The truly knowledgable and thoughtful beings across the three Continents who had begun feeling these sweeping changes and the Legions of the Dark and Wild Continent that had witnessed something stupendous not too long ago had singr thoughts. What changes would continue to happen within the Ethereal Realm? And just...who truly was the being responsible for all of them?! To be able tomand and move all the Diamond Experts of the Realm, did this being not want fame? Did he not want to grandly announce himself as the new Ethereal Emperor as he ruled and created a longsting Dynasty under his name? The only beings who were at the forefront and looked at as the possible Rulers were the ones being seen in the Imperial Castle every now and then- A crimson haired woman that Royalty were dubbing with the name of Ice Queen, and the shocking rumors of the re-emergence of the thought to be dead Ethereal Princess, Rose! It was a shocking new reality where unexpected beings were taking the helm and establishing new rules, the true power behind it all noting into the spot light. Meanwhile, the Ruler in question was in the Waiting Room beside enormous Towers and Portals surrounding him, opening his eyes brightly as after some time, the bright Universal Law Crystal had already faded from his hands as when he opened his eyes, feeling something incredible swimming within his sea of consciousness. It seemed to sh in and out, but a purple luster was swimming brightly within his mind as when he wielded it¡­ THRUM! His body glowed bright purple and tendrils of aether slowly undted like a thin film over his body! The tendrils were weak and unstable, but it was an element nheless...and a High Ranking one at that. It was the elements of the Universal Law of Aether that boosted his strength by arge amount as aside from this...he could nearly feel the barrier from Diamond to tinum breaking. Unlike his predecessor the Ethereal Emperor that made? a breakthrough in the past though, Noah wasn''t so lucky as he would most likely be able to do so after his second or third Universal Law Crystal. The energy they held was just that dense! As he felt the vibrating elements of Aether within his body and those around him, Noah couldn''t help but have a light smile while looking into his status panel that showed a new section. [Universal Laws] :: Aether- .1%(+10% Increased Aether Damage, +10% Increased Elemental Pration, +10% Elemental Corrosion Effect) He saw the mere .1% of the Law of Aether that gave him a great amount of boosts for its small percentages, his gaze sharp as when he calcted what he would gain when he brought the Universal Law to 100%...just one of the boosts would be +10,000% Increased Aether Damage! Such a thought made his gaze rush back into the Infinite Crucible as he checked the number of Crucible Points and went towards it once more. His goal was to farm, and so he would farm! The corner of his stillnded on the Shattered Life nes Dimensional Rifts as after clearing the Infinite Crucible a few times with thew of Aether, he wanted to see just how far he could climb the floors of the Life Element Rift and if he could get his hands on the Universal Law Crystals of the Law of Life as well. With a n in motion, Noah acted on it as at this moment, he knew he was running on a clock. A powerful enemy was called forth as he was searching for his new home at this very moment, and he had to at least prepare for this enemy and be sure he could take him on before he went back to his Idle life. He nned to make this enemy thest one he would have to face, where he nned to be capable of utterly dominating him and be capable of Subjugating theing being. This was because after extensive reading of the plots of many stories, he knew if this being died within the Ethereal Realm, it would somehow trigger a chain reaction where his organization somehow finds out how he died and its location, with them very soon sending a party of PLATINUM experts or something like that to cause Noah to run around some more until he gets embroiled into such an organization- either joining them or making them a huge enemy that he somehow could not exist with on the same ne! He wanted no such plot for himself as the moment he was able to utterly subjugate whatever enemy wasing, he would learn from the memories of that being whatever organization he belonged to and do his best to stay as far away from them as possible. He would then send this being back to do whatever tasks he was doing and order him to continue conducting himself as if he never met Noah...and this was how he nned to achieve his Idle Life! He would reject the cycle of stronger enemies and seclude himself within his Ethereal Realm while getting stronger until the powerful organizations that rule over the star systems or even the gxy he was in could not threaten him anymore...maybe then he would step out! "An idle life with my Idle Gaming System¡­!" Noah uttered with bright eyes as he delved back into the Infinite Crucible for more runs to obtain Aether Law Crystals, his goals very clear in his eyes! Chapter 104 - Aether! Life! I The progression of events for the next few hours didn''t need to be repeated, with Noah simply undergoing a session of farming as he cleared the Aether Waves of the Infinite Crucible with a speed of less than 3 hours. He went through the cycle of using 40 Crucible Points to apply the Aetherbourne Curse and gained 60 Crucible Points every time he cleared 60 Waves, continuing to gain a amount of points as time passed! When the third run of the 60 Waves of the Infinite Crucible wasplete, Noah got his hands on another Aether Universal Law Crystal as aside from bringing his percentage in thew of Aether to .3%...his body felt a bubbling mass of energy hit an invisible wall and tear it apart, the abundant energy of the Law Crystals finally doing to Noah what they did to the past Ethereal Emperor. RUMBLE! He was currently in the Waiting Room as his body was elevated in the air, the milky white color of mana that surrounded him gradually fading as it became tinged with red, settingling with a slightly pink color that shone vibrantly all around his body! WAA! He opened his eyes with a burst of mana emanating out, his body sensing the motions of the Universal Law of Aether as well as...his own strength that went past the Realm of Diamond and achieved what the past Ethereal Emperor had obtained before he went out to explore the stars and perished. PLATINUM! ¡­! His eyes honed in on his status panel as he saw a great deal of changes! His attention focused on the most important ones, and that was the enhancement of his 2 Inherent Skills, Mind Dominator and Telekic Emperor. ||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], [Remote Control], [Dominator''s Consciousness], and [Evolve|Devolve] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Spatial Puppet Master] ... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission],[Field Master], and [Ruler''s Emenation] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Telekic Constructs],... The abilities that grew alongside his rank advanced yet again, Noah''s eyes honing in on the newly unlocked abilities of ||Mind Dominator|| and ||Telekic Emperor||! [Evolve|Devolve] :: The Mind Dominator gains utter control of those subjugated, this ability allowing them to elevate the strength of those under them by either Evolving them into a higher ranking race or Devolving them into mere Beasts. Currently capable routes of Evolution- Arch Humans...Currently capable routes of Devolution- Anomalous Beast¡­ [Ruler''s Emenation] :: Some call it Haki, others call it Fighting Spirit ..it is a type of presence, an emanation of a being''s willpower and spirit that when released outwardly will make it feel as if the weight of an entire world is descending down on everything around them. Depending on the strength of the consciousness of the user, Ruler''s Emenation can go as far as stopping the movements of weaker beings to utterly destroying their souls with a mere nce. ¡­! RUMBLE! Wondrously powerful skills were added, and they were ones that would need Noah to give a great deal of thought just to test when it came to something like [Evolve|Devolve] that allowed him to change the very physiologies of his Subjugated beings! He would put this forter as the one thing that he would test...was [Ruler''s Emenation]. WAA! His figure and the figure of his Units disappeared into the Infinite Crucible for the 4th time as they dawned all sorts of potions to bring themselves to top shape, the first wave of Aetherbourne Beasts flooding out of the portals soon after as the first wave that consisted of weak Iron Ranked creators flooded out. Noah was now multiple levels above Iron, these Beasts being considered something that he was miles ahead of as when it came to the strength of consciousness¡­ He would see just how shocking [Ruler''s Emenation] could be as he ordered his Units not to attack, waiting for all the beasts to finish pouring out of the purple portals as when they came mere feet towards them ready to rush towards their figures, Noah''s eyes opened sharply as it felt like time hade to a stop. [Ruler''s Emenation]! THRUUUM! His eyes opened brightly as slowly, tendrils of light could be seen shing from them brightly, these tendrils of light releasing a pulsating and suffocating pressure that sted out in a circr motion all around Noah, its color tinged a cerulean blue as it went on to silently pass through and press down against all of the rushing beasts! WAA! The tremendous pressure Noah released seemingly caused even the skies to vibrate, all the beasts that were rushing forwarding to a stop as when time resumed...all of them fell to the floor with white eyes as the souls of these Iron Ranked Beasts...were shattered. ¡­! Noah looked at this scene incredulously as his felt his heart beat ever faster, a sense of aplishment welling up inside of him as this ability of [Ruler''s Emenation] took little effort and mana for him to release, where with his abundant consciousness at this stage he felt like he could do it 99 more times without any issues! Such an ability acted like a powerful crowd control skill as it reminded Noah very much about a particr never ending anime with one stretchy protagonist! With such a tool in his hands, Noah continued past the waves of the Infinite Crucible as with the addition of [Ruler''s Emenation], the clear time became even faster as it was brought down to an hour and a half for them to clear all 60 waves. This was because Noah was now ying an active part in the battle, his rank at PLATINUM being strong enough to allow him to stand against a Diamond Rift Boss or even two when he added the strength of his consciousness and reduced their battle power and will with his [Ruler''s Emenation]! The 4th Wave was cleared as he absorbed another Universal Law Crystal and brought his Aether Law percentage to .4%prehension, his farming sessions after that bing even easier as with the Food Items he could buy to entertain himself from the DImensional Store, he was able to clear the Infinite Crucible over and over again without burning out. Over a day passed in this manner! The 60 Waves of the Infinite Crucible filled with Aetherbourne Beasts had been cleared 19 more times, Noah getting his hands of 19 more Tier 2 Diamond Rank Aether Treasure Troves as aside from 19 Aether Law Crystals, the number of Diamond Cores and Diamond Upgrade Crystals he obtained were truly immense! This wasn''t to even mention the Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals as he could use those to make tens of Diamond ranked Units whenever he wished. But the Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals from over 24 Tier 2 Diamond Rank Aether Treasure Troves and his previous small collection gave him a total of 515,000 of this wondrous loot! For every single Diamond Unit, 250,000 Diamond Upgrade Crystals were required before they could be enhanced to the maximum and be ready for fusion...and such a thing meant that at this moment, Noah could effectively enhance and fuse two Units of the Diamond Rank as he produced a wondrous new product of a PLATINUM Rank Rift Boss! With such a creature in hand, what worry did he need to have when he faced whatever enemy wasing? Would he be worth 10 PLATINUM Ranked Blessed to be able to match against a tinum Ranked Rift Boss? One that would be a creature of a High Tier Element at that?! ¡­! Noah''s eyes shone brightly at this thought as he looked at his current Units while counting the boons of this farming session. His currentprehension in the Law of Aethery at 2.4%. The particles of Aether he could manipte and control around his body had gotten even denser as at this moment, his strength was enhanced with +240% Increased Aether Damage, +240% Increased Elemental Pration, +240% Elemental Corrosion Effect! His current damage output as a PLATINUM Ranked being far exceeded even the Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses hemanded as units, his mind buzzing as he was excited to know what boons woulde from these very same units being elevated to PLATINUM. After this was done, he would take a break from the monotone farming of the Infinite Crucible as he tried the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift before it disappeared in just a bit over a day! He wanted to know whether he would be able to obtain something like a Life Universal Law Crystal if he cleared enough floors of this High Tier Elemental Rift, his reservations against facing the unknown enemy being reduced greatly if he could get his hands on another High Tier Law on top of PLATINUM Ranked Rift Bosses! Chapter 105 - Aether! Life! II When it came to the fusion of Units, Noah always favored the stupendous power of the Aether Dragons. Ever since they were Drakes, these were the Units he used to forge ahead in strength many times, and he would do so this time around as well! The 500,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals were divided in half as they went into two Aether Dragons towering over Noah, their bodies glimmering brightly as their fusion didn''t take too long after they were maxed. THRUM! An infusion of marvelous colors urred, the milky white disappearing as a rosy color permeated amidst the purple tendrils of Aether! ROAAAAR! The powerful roar of a Dragon could be heard in the middle of the storm of Mana, this roar clearing everything up as a grand beast filled with majesty appeared. "Sheesh¡­" Noah couldn''t help but utter when he looked up at the sizable creature, where by his estimation it should be close to 50 metersrge as its sheer size alone was 25 times that of a human being! Glistening purple scales that vibrated with power, widespread wings that covered the skies themselves...but most of all it was the ancient draconic head atop this newly fused Dragon that made Noah pause. It was because rotating slowly on top of the magisterial head of this Dragon...was an illusory purple crown that emanated intense waves of Aether! A dragon adorned with an illusory purple crown! PLATINUM [Dragon King, Koddrys] :: A genuine Dragon King that was born and drenched in Aether, being so capable that it has currentlyprehended 10% of this Universal Law. Its masterful control of Aether has exceeded many beings as its mere movements can cause Aether Storms. It''s abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], [Aether Rune Mark], [Aether Breath], [Storm of Decimation], [Aether Shield], and [Pirs of Scorching Aether] ¡­! Ah! A PLATINUM Ranked Dragon that was known as a Dragon King! One that at its birth held 10%prehension in the Universal Law of Aether as it was many times more than Noah¡­ "Crazy¡­" What a fusion! What a tinum Ranked Rift Boss! Noah paused a few minutes to admire the terrifying looking Dragon King who rubbed its oversized head on his body when he came close, this terrifying beast being entirely subservient to him as Noah could only sigh endlessly. His fusion meant 1 spot was freed up in his Unit Slot, and Noah very quickly filled this spot by buying the Unit Shards of 2 Half-Dragons from the Dimensional Store and fusing them into a Diamond Rank Champion of Aether! His reserves of Diamond Cores were robust, but not enough to spend 10,000 of them to buy the genuine Champion of Aether as he was saving many of them to elevate new Blessed into the Diamond Rank, including his Sister and Rose. But with the fusion of a PLATINUM Ranked Rift Boss andpleting his team once again, Noah went towards the direction of the Shattered nes feature that was his next target! As he stared into the glimmering green doorway leading into the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift, Noah closed his eyes as before he entered, hemunicated with the many Subjugated Blessed he had spread out all around the Three Continents of the Ethereal Realm. Aside from them establishing order and distributing resources to create for a much more prosperous era, he had them monitor the appearance of any auras that were foreign from theirs as this would indicate that the powerful being that the Crown Prince called forth was able to find the Ethereal Realm with some mysterious methods! But no such foreign aura appeared for the past day as after Noah confirmed this again with his Subjugated Blessed, he opened his eyes and stepped into the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift. WAA! A dizzying wave of spatial energiester, and his eyes opened to see...green all around. The ground beneath him swayed with tall grasses as it looked like verdant grasnds stretched around him on all sides, tall trees being seen in the distance with the auras of multiple Iron and Bronze Beasts. Even the sky was tinged green as the Life ne Dimensional Rift was filled with the aura of the Law of Life! ROAR! The roars of Iron and Bronze Beasts reverberated out as they sensed Noah''s entrance, grasnd animals of all types beginning to rush towards him as Noah only gave a light smile. His voice rang out lightly. [Ruler''s Emenation]. BZZZT! A terrifying wave of blue spread out with him at the center, smashing onto all the Beasts within this floor as in the next second...all of them fell to the ground as they couldn''t even withstand Noah''s sheer pressure, their souls shattered from his mere words! Ah! How far Noah hade! In just seconds, the first floor was cleared in seconds as Noah proceeded to the next. Two minutester, he stood on the 10th floor alone, not even utilizing the power of his Units as he used Ruler''s Emanation to decimate everything on his path! Loot had begun to collect from the rewards of the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift, but it wasn''t anything new from what he had received before as Noah continued. 10 minutes passed before he came across Gold Ranked Beasts on the 25th floor. 20 minutes passed and he came across his first Diamond Ranked Dimensional Rift Boss on the 40th Floor! ROAAR! It was an enormous Treant, a creature towering over 30 meters in size as it looked like multiple trees stacked together, its thick branches ready to strangle anyone nearby. For this beast, Noah merely waved his hands as he called out his PLATINUM Dragon King. ¡­! The aura of bestial King covered the floor as the Treant shook, storms of Aether erupting as the Unit that hadprehended 10% of the Law of Aether moved, its entire body flickering and barely being seen with a naked eye as decimation was all that followed in the next few seconds! This floor was cleared as Noah continued forging forward,ing across increasing numbers of Diamond Ranked Dimensional Rift Bosses as while the loot he received for clearing their floors were abundant, he still had note across a Universal Law Crystal. That was...until he faced 10 Dimensional Rank Rift Bosses on the 55th floor! Verdant Treants, Golems...and a genuine Life Dragon that shone wondrously green appeared. A Line up of this many beasts caused Noah''s eyes to brighten up as he expected great rewards from them, and he wasn''t led down as even though these Bosses were tough to tear down with the abundant aura of life flowing through them, they couldn''t match the PLATINUM Dragon King and Noah''s own power that when paired up with the 7 other Units, it only took 10 minutes to tear all of them down! RUMBLE! Gorgeous green mana erupted out after their defeat, a prompt appearing in front of Noah as it finally contained what he wanted. [Rewards for clearing the 55th Floor] :: [+5 Life Universal Law Crystals] [+250,000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+500 SILVER Rank LIFE Element Equipment], [+500,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Health Potions].... [+250,000 GOLD Rank Cores]....[+200 DIAMOND Rank Cores], [+1 Diamond Rank Life Element Skill Book], [+100,00 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals]... "..." Noah could hear the beat of his heart clearly when he went over the loot for clearing the 55th floor of the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift. Unlike the Infinite Crucible that he could repeat over and over again from the first Wave until whatever he was capable of reaching, the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts had floors that one had to continue ascending for the greatest rewards! It was repeatable as one could only go up, so its rewards were much higher! When Noah came across the Life Universal Law Crystals for the first time within this Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift, it was 5 of them as they would directly grant him .5% in the Law of Life when he absorbed them fully. This wasn''t to even mention the Diamond Cores and the 100,000 Diamond Upgrade Crystals given from this floor, making it clear that as long as Noah ascended another 5 or 10, another PLATINUM Unit or two weren''t too far away! "Very good!" WAA! Noah waved his hands as he called forth the Life Universal Law Crystals, their beautiful green luster reflecting gloriously on his eyes. [Life Universal Law Crystal](Minor) :: A crystal that contains unique properties, its essence denser than even normal Diamond Cores. It is capable of propelling the advancement of the Universal Law of Life by anyone capable of absorbing it. As it is a Minor Crystal, it is only capable of increasing theprehension of the Universal Law by .1%. A description very much simr to the Aether Universal Law Crystal, and Noah wasted no time absorbing all five of them as in a matter of minutes, there was something else flowing within his body aside from the dangerous element of Aether! BZZT! His eyes were closed as his skin glowed with a gorgeous green light, his body giving off immense waves of life force that were soon drowned out with the shocking might of aether, two Universal Laws freely swimming within his body! His bright eyes opened as he checked his Stat Panel again to see what boosts thisw brought! [Universal Laws] :: Life-.5%(+50% Increased Life Damage, +50% Enhanced Life Force and Health Regeneration, +50% to All Defensive Parameters)? Aether- 2.4%(+240% Increased Aether Damage, +240% Increased Elemental Pration, +240% Elemental Corrosion Effect) ¡­! Domineering effects of Life Damage, Enhanced Life Force and Health Regeneration, as well as an increase in All Defensive Parameters came along with the Law of Life, Noah having a bright smile at such effects as he currently felt multiple times stronger than he was just hours ago with just the Law of Aether! With such powerful effects and the floors of this Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift providing wondrous treasures on the floors toe, Noah''s eyes shed as he continued to ascend, his goal was to rise until he faced powerful Rift Bosses he couldn''t defeat, only thening to a stop as after that...he nned to not wait within the Ethereal Realm for aing enemy as he would step out himself to nip thising threat in the bud early and finally achieve his idle life! Chapter 106 - Stepping Into The Void Of Space! I BOOM! A terrifying sh urred as a Diamond Rank Life Phoenix fell, these terrifying beasts having started to appear on the 60th floor of the Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift. The Life Phoenix led 15 other Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses against Noah on the 60th Floor, its glimmering body releasing hellish green mes that even burned the scales of the Diamond Ranked Units Noahmanded! But with their fall, yet another beautiful prompt appeared in front of Noah''s eyes as it meant a great deal of things. [Rewards for clearing the 60th Floor] :: [+10 Life Universal Law Crystals] [+500,000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+1000 SILVER Rank LIFE Element Equipment], [+1,000,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+2000 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Health Potions].... [+500,000 GOLD Rank Cores]....[+500 DIAMOND Rank Cores], [+5 Diamond Rank Life Element Skill Book], [+250,00 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals]... It was just loot on top of loot, this floor giving Noah enough crystals for a full percentage in the Law of Life as after he added it to the single crystals he got from floors 56-59, he would have 1.9% in the Law of Life soon enough! But a boon of even more importance was the Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals, where he simply needed 50,000 more to be able to fuse another PLATINUM Unit, and he received way more than that! To proceed forward smoothly in the floors toe while facing terrifying beasts and a possibility of a PLATINUM enemy Rift Boss appearing, Noah carried out a fusion within the 60th Floor before he proceeded forward. He was sticking to the current units he had as he was slowly collecting the Unit Shards for Gold and even Diamond Units that he came across in this Shattered Life ne Dimensional Rift- creatures like Life Dragons, Verdant Golems, Ancient Treants, and Life Phoenixes being among the possibilities. He would fuse these Units after bringing up the Pdins of Light and Luminous Unicorns to PLATINUM, his future team building up to be something glorious as it would be filled with many Units of High Tier Elements! As for the next Unit to be brought up, it actually became a debate between the Pdin of Light that was of the Light Element and had powerful defensive buffs and healing properties, or the Ancient Treat Noah hade across recently that had simr capabilities while utilizing the Law of Life. But when Noah thought of the offensive skills the Pdin of Light had as well, he continued with his thought process as 500,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals were pumped into the 2 Pdins of Light, a fusion being carrying out soon after as a second PLATINUM ranked Unit was stepping out into the spot light. PLATINUM [Light Sentinel] :: A Pdin of Light that has made great achievements and be intune with the Law of Light, achieving 10% Comprehension and bing a Light Sentinel. For healing, damage, and protection- no others in the same rank can exceed it. Abilities include [Invisibility], [Golden Shield], [Light of Dawn], and [Equipment Mode], [Summon Holy Totem], [Hammer of Glory], [zing Sun], and [Purify]. RUMBLE! Waves of mana emanated from it as it was fully gold in color, the Unit now looking like a humanoid Titan made of golden light as its face and entire body had an exquisitely designed golden armor! Within its hands, it still carried an enormous hammer in its right and a tower shield on its left, this unit towering over 30 Meters as Noah knew that when he put it along with the Dragon King...the next floors would be a breeze. WAA! The 61st floor featured 15 Diamond Rank Rift Bosses again, Noah staring towards all of them fearlessly as he held 2 tinum Units while he himself had this same rank! [Ruler''s Emenation] erupted out from him as he put pressure on the Dimensional Beasts, his two tinum Ranked Units being the first to move as the Dragon King released a terrifying Breath that covered everything in front of them, while the Light Sentinel actually kneeled on the ground while raising its shield and hammer into the skies, it''s gaze seemingly pious as a horrific sh of light bloomed in the skies. It was...the cast of [zing Sun]. THRUM A genuine and utterly dreadful small sun appeared in the skies, the very air in the floor turning stifling as even Noah looked towards it in shock. This sun rapidly forged in the skies as while bearing a shocking amount of temperature...it barreled towards the 15 Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses as even these powerful creatures let out frightful yells! BOOM! The Breath of the Dragon King arrived first to tear down their defenses, the Miniature sun arrived a secondter to tear them apart. When the scene cleared, Noah let out a breath as he observed the verdant greenery of the floor to be scorched, 11 of the 15 Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses perishing to these two attacks against 2 PLATINUM Units! Noah stated at this scene breathlessly as it really made him just want to fuse an entire team of Dragon Kings and Light Sentinels! Two hours passed as the shocking team continued to clear the remaining Bosses of the floor, passing this as they then tore through the 62nd until the 65 where they faced 25 Diamond Rank Rift Bosses. The past 5 Floors gave Noah more than enough Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals as he followed his heart and forged another Light Sentinel after buying the prerequisite Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store, being shy of just 200,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals before he could fuse another two Diamond Units. This meant he now had 3 PLATINUM Units. And he had plenty of spots remaining in his team for more variety of Units in the future toe! His percentage on the Law of Life also increased from 1.9% to 4.8%, the Life Universal Law Crystals only increasing from the loot as he climbed higher, the 65th floor granting him 20 Crystals alone that added a full 2%. The difficulty only continued to increase, but so did Noah''s units as on the 68th Floor, he obtained the remaining 200,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals he needed for another fusion as he fused Champions of Aether to call forth a second Dragon King. That was ridiculously 4 PLATINUM Rift Bosses that he had obtained sessively in the period of thest 2 days! Half of his team was fully transformed into PLATINUM Units as his power was only an exponential curve upwards, and he was finally able to meet some difficulty on the 70th floor as he came to face a PLATINUM Rift Boss for the first time! RUMBLE! Within the floor, a tinum Elder Life Dragon led 25 Diamond Bosses against Noah, a worthy challenge finally appearing in front of him. Yet...the reality remained that he still held 4 PLATINUM Units. Multiple casts of [zing Sun]ter as miniaturized suns burned the floors followed with [Pirs of Scorching Aether] from the 2 Dragon Kings...the 70th floory decimated as only the abundant life force of the Elder Life Dragon remained! 10 minutester, even this Elder Life Dragon could not withstand the attacks of 4 PLATINUM Units as it fell, yet another wonderful prompt appearing in front of Noah. [Rewards for clearing the 70th Floor] :: [+25 Life Universal Law Crystals] [+800,000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+2000 SILVER Rank LIFE Element Equipment], [+5,000,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+4000 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Health Potions].... [+1,000,000 GOLD Rank Cores]....[+2,000 DIAMOND Rank Cores], [+5 Diamond Rank Life Element Skill Book], [+400,00 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals]...[+10 PLATINUM Cores] Just a beautiful assortment of lootnded on hisp, granting Noah another +2.5% in the Law of Life as his percentage came to 7.3 at this time! He took everything as he came to a stop for the first time in the past day, sensing his own powerful strength at the PLATINUM Rank and the 4 Rift Bosses in the same Realm as him who could disy even greater power. He knew he had gone overboard in the past 2 days to prepare for theing enemy, and he might have probably been ready a day ago just with him alone and a single PLATINUM Dragon King! But he continued to get stronger and collect even more powerful Units as at this time, he might already be capable of taking down theing enemy without so much as an issue. He did not want to wait for the enemy to find and descend into the Ethereal Realm, and he would move to prevent such a future if he could as because there were many unknowns...he nned to hiddenly check out the space outside of the Ethereal Realm for the first time! He didn''t have enough information about his enemies, whether it was the single one he heard on themunication medallion or more...so he would first do some fieldwork himself! Feeling his over preparedness and what stage it currently brought him, he nned to use the Invisibility skill of the Light Sentinel and the fact that it could fuse into him with the ability [Equipment Mode] to scour the immediate surroundings of the Ethereal Realm and see what the situation outside it was. If the enemy was a single one and alone, Noah would nip thising threat in the bud before they even located the Ethereal Realm and released a beacon of light or any such plot devices to call forth more trouble or armies into his little realm! For this, he made a move! Chapter 107 - Stepping Into The Void Of Space! II SHAA! Noah''s figure materialized out of the Shattered nes Rift as he appeared in the waiting room. His body palpated with a shocking amount of power as he breathed out slowly, his two days in istion and constant farming having paid huge results! With 4 PLATINUM Units in tow as well as his own strength, he disappeared from the waiting room and returned to the Ethereal Realm. Only two days had passed, but the changes were widespread as Noah had left Annalise and Rose with a great deal of loot from the Iron, Bronze, and Silver Rifts that he was collecting resources in Idle Mode from. He appeared within the Imperial Castle as his aura was quickly picked up by his Subjugated Blessed and the two women currently overseeing the progress of things within the Ethereal Realm. The two girls had tired eyes as they seemed to be working as much as they could, Noah entering the expansive hall where the King''s Throne was located as he discussed with them everything that had happened. With the power of Subjugated Diamond Blessed under them, no Royalty or any unruly being had been able to do anything, and the only worry right now was resource allocation while keeping track of the many City-States spread out across the 3 Continents! Noah thought of all of this work as he spoke. "Use the Subjugated Blessed more. They aren''t just mindless beings after I subjugate them, they still have their thoughts and memories. So beings like Protector Chen and the past Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continent will still be able to take off a lot of the work on your shoulders. Give them broadmands and leave it to them to work out all the minute details!" ¡­! The eyes of the two girls nodded at his words as Noah smiled. He nned to check out the new [Devolve|Evolve] ability that pertained to Subjugated beings when he finished with his ns in the Void of Space, his thoughts already drifting away to this as he waved his hands and caused the appearance of hundreds of Diamond Cores and the few tinum Cores he had just received from clearing thest floor of the Shattered Life Dimensional ne, along with 20+ Diamond Skill Books and Equipment- a majority of them being of the Life Element! "Increase your strength in the meanwhile, as we truly don''t know what could be out there." He ignored the immense shock these two girls showed on their faces as after catching up and managing things from the Imperial Capital, he left all the work to others as the delegation and division of work to manage therge Realm was in full swing! As for Noah himself, he disappeared from the Imperial Castle as his body took to the skies. The feeling of stepping onto the skies and floating across still brought Noah joy to this day, but it didn''t seem particrly enjoyable on a day like today as he was shooting across the skies and heading higher and higher! This time around, he would finally explore the boundary of this Realm after being transmigrated into it all this time! SHAA! He crossed theyer of clouds as the higher he went, the heavier than the air around him felt. It felt like the very skies themselves were getting thicker and pressing down unto him, but his vibrant mana at the PLATINUM Rank circted throughout his body as the pressure reduced, his figure continuing to go higher. This phenomenon increased as the minutes passed, but his sharp eyes were soon able to see...a glimmer of darkness from what seemed like artificial light! He saw a clear transparent barrier...that held behind it the dark void of space as twinkling stars could be seen from far away. "The Realm Boundary¡­" Yes! He had actually reached the boundary of the Ethereal Realm, his gaze serious as he waved his hands to call forth the Light Sentinel. RUMBLE! The powerful Unit appeared grandly, its towering size bowing towards Noah as it turned into a streak of light to cover him fully. It was the cast of [Equipment Guardian]! WAA! When the golden light died down, Noah took the look of a miniaturized armored Sentinel as his entire body emanated a golden light , every part of him covered from head to toe as he nodded while utilizing the abilities of the Light Sentinel. In the skies, his figure and aura utterly disappeared as the ability of [Invisibility] was cast! After that...he fearlessly and slowly approached the boundary of the Ethereal Realm. He was moving with immense caution as he didn''t want to overestimate himself or underestimate his enemies, knowing that past events might not necessarily repeat in the future. Even though he crushed his enemies easily in the past, it might not be the case for the ones he metter! SO with caution and while still being hidden, he approached the boundary and came in touch with it, feeling immense restriction that his power and the power of his fused Unit very easily crossed. In a second, Noah crossed the thin barrier of a Realm as his body felt slight spatial light, going from a Realm and into the void of space! "..." He was breathless when he opened his careful eyes, and this wasn''t just because there was no air in the void of space. As a being at the PLATINUM Rank, his body could fully adapt to such an environment as small basics like needing air were nothing to him. He turned around as his powerful consciousness slowly swept out around him, his eyes turning towards a hidden fold in space behind him where he could see a purple light shining out. This hidden fold in space...was the entrance to the Ethereal Realm! Many Realms were like this, being spatially istednds that were more protected than thes and Stars and floated out in the starry space. If someone wasn''t actively looking for a Realm, they wouldn''t be able to find one unless they identally ran into it. Noah didn''t want his enemy to have any such chance as after marking the location of the Ethereal Realm, he calmed his heart while closing his eyes, fully cing his attention on the abilities of the Telekic Emperor as his consciousness silently and slowly rolled out in waves! He would check his immediate surroundings first to make sure no foreign beings were close before he proceeded outward. WAA! Silently, his awareness spread across the starry space as he enjoyed this wondrous feeling, his powerful consciousness covering a few miles in an instant as he still continued, still not feeling his limits yet! Seconds passed as he found nothing, his heart bing calmer and calmer as it meant whatever enemy wasing wasn''t that close! Him destroying themunication medallion as quickly as he did might have just saved them from being found, a secondter meaning something different. He began to feel the strain on his consciousness a few secondster as he was about to pull it back and cross the starry space while slowly searching in other regions, but this was when his eyes constricted as he sensed a fiery aura moving slowly, stopping every second or two to scan the region in front of it! RUMBLE Noah''s heart turned firm as his mana cycled rapidly, his attention bing focused in this area as he very carefully sensed to see the figure of an irritated middle aged man, this being having particles of fire swirling around him as within his hands...Noah could see a medallion that looked very simr to one he just destroyed days ago! ¡­! His mind buzzed as he actually found the being that wasing for the Ethereal Realm, and he found him before they were able to get close to the region where his Realm was hidden in the folds of space, being over 20 miles away as Noah knew with another day or two, this being might have been able to carefully scour this region of space as he found what he was looking for. ''Only one?'' Noah remained calm as he spread his senses out slightly further, straining himself as he found no other creatures aside from this being in this area of space! He still didn''t make a move as for the next few minutes, Noah just casually watched the movements of the enemy searching for him as he ascertained many things. The aura he left off, the fire particles constantly dancing around him, his facial expression... ''tinum Rank, proficient in the Law of Fire, very irritated.'' Noah thought to himself simply as he didn''t rush forward guns zing, only beginning to move towards the enemy after half an hour had passed and he watched this being exhaust his mental energies and floated in space to recover. At this point, Noah nodded to himself as he let out a breath, his figure encased in the power of the Light Sentinel beginning to carefully move towards the target he had been watching this entire time! All things were ounted for! He had watched and observed for any surprises for nearly an hour! Now...he would make a move as he nned to incapacitate this being in a short period of time and subjugate them in an even shorter period of time. Barely any waves of mana erupted as he began to move, Noah''s consciousness ready to call the descent of 3 more PLATINUM Rift Bosses the moment he came to surround the enemy! Chapter 108 - Dimensional Rulers! I Drax was floating peacefully in the starry darkness of space as he recovered his power. He had been searching for the past days to locate the realm that he tracked to this region, but this region alone consisted of hundreds of miles as he had to carefully wade through all areas to search and see if he received feedback from a Realm hidden in the folds of space! But he was relentless as he knew the rewards would be abundant the moment he was able to secure this Realm that held a High Tier Elemental Dimensional Rift! WAA! His mana vibrantly undted in space as the fire elements swirled around his body, his energy recovering rapidly as he would continue his search again after a short period of time. Yet in the next second¡­ ''Hmm?'' An itch appeared in his mind- a feeling that many beings that had forged their way on the path of power ande across many life and death battles held. It was the instinctive feeling of danger when one''s life was on the line! Drax always trusted this feeling as he opened his eyes in an instant, his senses spread out as he was shocked to find...a sun! A small sun was actually blooming right below his feet, a sun filled with the elements of light as in the next second, it exploded to ravage the surrounding space and cause Drax''s figure to shoot out like a cannon ball! BOOOM! A horrendous sound spread out as Drax''s disheveled figure shot through space, his vibrant mana wrapping around his body as the particles of the Law of Fire erupted from him, his expression ashen as he stared at his lower body that was missing half its limbs. His right leg was nearly blown off as the rest of his body was a tattered mass of flesh, this singr attack having dealt him a heavy injury! His heart palpated as he looked around him and bellowed out. "Who dares?!" RUMBLE! Fire elements erupted out all around him as Drax rapidly used his mana to turn the entire area around him into a sea of mes, these mes being able to tell him whenever anything came close to him. Even though he bellowed out so grandly, there was a hint of fear hidden within his eyes as from his experience, he knew that the attack came from a creature that was proficient in the Law of Light- a high tier Law that only the strongest Realm Overseers wielded! Such a creature had targeted him and was hidden in the dark even now, causing Drax to move very carefully! But...when certain situations arose, it didn''t matter how careful or how prepared many beings thought they were. SHAA! Drax''s heart palpated as he felt another scorching sun shooting out from behind him, the sea of mes parting sideways fearfully it thundered forth beautifully! OOOOH! Mana bubbled forth from Drax as the space around him actually began to burn, seeing that he couldn''t even dodge this attack due to its speed as he turned around to face it! Yet¡­ SHAA! Another miniaturized sun just as horrifying came from the direction he just turned from, his heart turning cold at this moment as he faced the explosive force of scorching suns filled with the High Tier Element of Light from both directions. ...BOOM! BOOM! Space quaked and shuddered. Searing heat and light spread out all around as a burnt figure could be seen floating amidst the seared space! "Guh!" Drax spat out boiling blood as at this moment, even with the protection of his vibrant mana at the PLATINUM Realm and hisprehension in the Law of Fire, he still could not defend against these two attacks that felt like thebined strength of 10 tinum Blessed! He breathed out heavily as he felt the state of his body, arge portion of it being burnt off as he looked extremely hideous at this moment. Half of his shoulder was torn off as his face still boiled from the heat of the sun, his eyes holding a tremendous amount of fear as he looked around. WAA! The first thing he noticed was the materialization of a creature made of light, a being releasing a towering pressure as its identity was a Light Sentinel! Another one just like it, albeit smaller, appeared behind Drax at this moment as both of these figures released powerful auras of PLATINUM rank Rift Bosses! Recalling the attacks and the state of his body, Drax was fearful as he uttered out. "Please, hold o-" THRUM! Yet before he could even finish speaking, the hands of one of the smaller looking Light Sentinels rose as from it, a tremendously powerful wave of mental pressure erupted out, and this wave of pressure carried with it the elements of Aether and Life as they went on to tightly wrap around the disfigured body of Drax! BZZT! The elements of Aether and Life danced wildly as they adhered to themands of the Telekic Emperor, wrapping around this being that looked towards the Equipment Mode form of the Light Sentinel that Noah was currently in! Paired with his heavy injuries and the pressure from the two Units along with Noah''s tight mental energies, the PLATINUM Ranked low ranking Realm Overseer could not even move a muscle at this moment. An enemy that should have given Noah somewhat of a headache, captured in a matter of seconds! Noah didn''t boast or ask any question, moving with even more care as he only approached after he felt his mental energies wrap tightly around the being in front of him. Drax only felt dread at this unexinable situation, seeing one of the Light Sentinelse towards him as the face that was made up of pure golden light opened, revealing a gorgeous set of blue eyes within that pulsed with a cerulean blue light! This blue light...was thest thing that this version of Drax would see as with his full strength, Noah cast [Subjugate] on the heavily injured and disoriented PLATINUM Ranked Blessed that couldn''t even stand 3 attacks from just two of his Units. RUMBLE! An inconsequential struggleter, and the past Drax was entirely wiped away as Noah very easily got his hands on his first PLATINUM Ranked Blessed! This being''s identity was also very special, being a point of connection for Noah to many things outside of his small Ethereal Realm as with the subjugation of this being, Noah could understand the situation around him as well as the powerhouses moving out there that he had to keep track and steer out of the way of! SHAA! The consciousness of the Telekic Emperor unbounded the burnt and disfigured figure of Drax the moment that he was subjugated, the Light Sentinels raining down healing skills on his body as Noah...he went ahead and pried into the memories of this being. This was why he didn''t bother asking any question about who he was or where he came from, knowing that he would just find out the moment he subjugated him and used the abilities of the Mind Dominator to obtain the memories of this being since he was born! And memories...he obtained. BOOOM! It felt like an explosion of knowledge erupting in his brain, the memories of this low ranking Realm Overseer being extremely vast as he had lived for over two centuries! From his birth until the very current second, all of his memories flooded into Noah as with the powerful consciousness of the Mind Dominator and Telekic Emperor, he sorted through them and understood them all as if they were his own in a matter of seconds. This was one of the boons of a strong consciousness and soul! The memories of Drax yed out in Noah''s mind as he found himself breaking in cold sweat, looking towards the gradually healing Drax with shining eyes as he gave amand to his summons who turned into streaks of light and began to shoot back towards the location of the Ethereal Realm! As for Drax, Noah left this being to finish healing as he wouldmand him from a distance, the memories he had obtained from him simply being too shocking. Noah was very quickly returning to the Ethereal Realm as with the new memories, he found out of therger situation all around him, of the trillions of Worlds and Realms spread out across the starry space that was known as...the Sublunary Dimensional ne! He realized as he went through the memories that he was entirely wrong about how he thought of this new ce he had transmigrated in! From the experience of his world and reading vast amounts of stories, he thought he was in a Realm that was a higher form of a World, and that this Realm would be located in a huge Gxy that was just one of the many Gxies within a Universe. But...that was not so! The Ethereal Realm was located in a Dimensional ne that was known as the Sublunary Dimensional ne, a vast area of space that held trillions of Worlds and billions of Realms! Within this Sublunary ne, there was a vast number of powerful beings known as Dimensional Rulers. Beings of immense power who had conquered arge number of worlds and Realms, using the inhabitants of these Worlds and Realms to collect resources others could only ever dream of- these were the Dimensional Rulers! Cores, Universal Law Crystals, terrifying ranks of Equipment and Skill Books, and even more wondrous Loot that Noah had not evene across yet! These beings have been living and ruling for a countless number of years, the powerful rank of PLATINUM that Noah had achieved merely being a rank that someone like Drax- a low Ranking Realm Overseer that was just a glorified title of one of the many grunts of a Dimensional Ruler. Above PLATINUM, there were powerhouses that could crush beings of this rank with a mere blink! There were beings that had lived so long and collected enough Universal Law Crystals to master Laws, beings of immense power that Noah did not even want toe across at this moment! This was why the moment he finished subjugating Drax, he ran back to his hidden Ethereal Realm that felt much safer than the grand andrge Sublunary Dimensional ne that had monstrous figures who had lived and collected loot for an uncountable number of years running around! Chapter 109 - Dimensional Rulers! II An Innumerable number of Worlds and Realms within the vast Sublunary ne! This Sublunary Dimensional ne itself was just one of the 3 three nes that made up the Universe that Noah had transmigrated in- the Chaotic Universe! Above the Sublunary ne was the Empyrean ne where powerful groups ruled, and even further above them was a ne that many would never even get a chance to ascend to- the Dimensional ne where the strongest and most revered beings walked upon, the Celestial Dimensional ne. Noah''s eyes shed with immense light as the setting he was in became clear. No vast numbers of gxies filled up a universe, but three separated Dimensional nes segregated as beings of immense powers moved within. The being that he had just subjugated was a low ranking Realm Overseer that was charged with looking over a few Realms and tens of Worlds,ing from an organization that was known as the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers within the Sublunary Dimensional ne. Groups such as this were few, their influence reaching torge regions of this ne as one could only imagine the resources they got their hands on as they collected Loot, where among the many different unique types of loot Noah had to yet toe across, the one that remained most pristine was the Law Crystals that granted beings the capability to understand Universal Laws! This was one of the most prized forms of resources across the Sublunary Dimensional ne, with the top powerhouses even using it as a form of currency or to trade and batter! The more shocking thing for Noah to think about was that over the many passing years, the natives of this Sublunary nes and even the two wondrous nes above this one had all been diving into Dimensional Rifts and collecting Loot such as this and much more. This held shocking implications as from Drax''s memories, Noah could confirm that such a reality made it so that the powerful Realm Overseers that numbered in the millions across the Sublunary ne alone had varying levels of strength, but most of them had mastered one or multiple Universal Laws! Even though the Law Crystals gave .1% every time someone absorbed one, when putting in the factor of time as well as the vast numbers of worlds and Realms these beings looked after, collecting 1000 Universal Law Crystals to achieve 100%prehension in a Universal Law was not too hard! It was at this point where Noah marveled at the most, as he hade across another secret from Drax''s memories about what happened after one brought theirprehension of the Universal Laws to 100%. They would be elevated to an even higher stage as new doors opened for them, being granted the authority to Assimte these Universal Laws into their own body. Comprehension, and then assimtion! During the stage ofprehending a Law, a being could wield it andmand the particles of thew outside of his body, but their strength could reach insane degrees when they began assimting thew, even bing capable of turning their own bodies into the elements of their studiedw! From Drax''s memories, Noah had seen powerful Realm Overseers who could change their bodies into genuine mes, others who could be thin air, and a few shocking Dimensional Rulers that had absorbed the resources of many High Tier Element Dimensional Rifts as they learned powerfulws, even being capable of turning their bodies into pure Light or Chaos as these were the true powerhouses that even made the current Noah somber. Above beings such as these...were the Dimensional Rulers that stood at the very top of the Sublunary Dimensional ne- the beings that studied mysteriousws like Fate and Karma,ws that rarely appeared within Dimensional Rifts! But over the vast starry space of the Sublunary Dimensional ne, these powerful Dimensional Rulers got their hands on a few Dimensional Rifts where they could farm Universal Law Crystals of Fate and Karma, their strength being something else entirely as they were able to use these mysteriousws to establish regimes thatsted for millennials! But all of this...came down to Dimensional Rifts and the Loot they could provide. All of it came down to the most pristine Universal Law Crystals! 1,000 Universal Law Crystals were required for one to fully Comprehend a Universal Law, but for one to fully assimte it...they needed 10 times that amount as they would only receive a .01% every time they absorbed a Law Crystal after that! This made Noah look forward to the Law Crystals he could receive from the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift within his Ethereal Realm, but it also showed him what a hard time he would have in the future if he only remained with this one Realm as his only source of Law Crystals aside from the Infinite Crucible and Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts he could use from the features of the Idle Gaming System. If he could be like the powerful Dimensional Rulers who controlled and got the resources from multiple Worlds and Realms¡­ RUMBLE! His head buzzed with possibilities as he very quickly shook it, reminding himself how safe and nice his Ethereal Realm would be from now on as he had no enemies to worry about. ''Lay low and get overpowered first¡­'' This thought rang out in his mind many times as he very quickly threw away the dreams of receiving tens of Universal Law Crystals every hour in Idle Mode from multiple High Tier Element Dimensional Rifts! He still had the Shattered Dimensional nes Rifts that changed every 3 days that he could climb. He still had the Infinite Crucible that if he was powerful enough, could pull in and give him and the resources he wanted! So he very quickly found the entrance back into the hidden Ethereal Realm as he shot into the fold in space and disappeared, only leaving behind a Subjugated low ranking Realm Overseer a few miles away that Noah was still digging through the memories of and thought about how to utilize. That was because even though Drax was considered a Low Ranking Realm Overseer, he still had the job of looking over 37 Worlds and 8 Realms! None of the Realms he looked over were as expansive or unique as the Ethereal Realm that held a High Tier Elemental Dimensional Rift, but he did have to go to these Worlds and Realms every few days to collect the resources that its inhabitants and those working below the Dimensional Rulers collected, Drax having to bring these resources back to a High Ranking Realm Overseer at specified times for collection. Everything was calcted and kept track of closely, where Noah didn''t even touch the resources that Drax currently held in the Storage Rings that he nearly burnt from his attacks, a few Universal Law Crystals of the Laws of Water, Earth, and Fireying with him as even Drax himself didn''t dare to absorb loot that wasn''t handed down to him! This being had such intense fear when it came to the High Ranking Realm Overseers that had already begun assimtingws that Noah chose to be careful as well. He wasn''t a greedy guy. He knew that he would be getting all the Law Crystals he could want in the nexting days and weeks as he just utilized his Idle Gaming System and the single Diamond Rift within his Realm to the fullest, choosing to use this time period of peace to fully acquaint himself with everything around him as he would also utilize Drax to learn more about the Sublunary ne and all the powers that moved within. He could share the memories of this being and even take over his body if he wished, and he could thus get a look at all the worlds and Realms this being oversaw as when he thought he was prepared enough, he might even choose to step out of his Ethereal Realm to add more Elemental Dimensional Rifts into Idle Mode as he just collected Law Crystals and learned a bunch of Universal Laws passively! He might even start to interact with the powerful Realm Overseers and beings that looked after extremely sought after High Tier Dimensional Rifts, maybe even eye the title of a Dimensional Ruler! But before all of that¡­ ''My idle life has to finally start.'' THRUM! His body vibrated with power as he descended down into the skies of the Ethereal Realm. All obstacles were wiped out. All enemies were taken care of. He had steered clear of any plot devices he had read about where waves after waves of enemies would juste for him and the Ethereal Realm, cutting this off early as the only benign that even knew about it was now his Subjugated Blessed! He could now huddle within this Realm and establish prosperity and peace within it, finally living an Idle Life as he peacefully used the features of his Idle Gaming System! Chapter 110 - An Idle Life! I What would you do when you had an insanely overpowered System and all the time in the world without an ounce of worries? For Noah, his answer was to actually be idle due to his System, using it to full advantage for what it was- a system that granted him insane boosts in strength while he did absolutely nothing! But for the System to work with extreme effectiveness and efficiency, he also had to put in some work before he could rx. And this was exactly what Noah did in the days that followed the defeat of the Low Ranking Realm Overseer that was looking for the Ethereal Realm, but only left as a Subjugated Blessed that continued his tasks silently without attracting any attention for now. The first thing that Noah did after descending into the Ethereal Realm once more...was to begin the addition of more Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode! There were a vast number of Rifts within the three Continents of the Ethereal Realm, Noah beginning with the Imperial Capital''s highest ranking Rift as he cleared the Aether Continent Rift again for an even faster clear time, bringing it to under 10 minutes from the 2 hours that he cleared it the first time. From 2 hours to 10 minutes! This change was rather drastic, but what could the three Diamond Rank Rift Bosses of this Rift do when they faced the wrath of 4 PLATINUM Units and their Master? The only reason it even took a few more minutes was for Noah to track down and kill all the normal mobs within the Aether Continent after his Units were done with the Rift Bosses! And due to the fact that the loot he received from Idle Mode was always higher in tierpared to just clearing a Dimensional Rift, he found that he had a 50% chance to receive the rare loot of a single Aether Law Crystal from this rift every 10 minutes it was cleared in Idle Mode. The 10 minute cycle urred 144 times in a day, which meant Noah would be obtaining approximately 72 Aether Law Crystals every 24 hours...that was 7.2% in theprehension of this High Tier Law every day! It meant that even if he chose to stay idle and do nothing for just two weeks, he would be able to achieve 100%prehension in a High Tier Law. "..." What a wondrous System he held! After going through this Aether Continent Dimensional Rift, Noah went through the three Gold Rank Dimensional Rifts within the Imperial Capital as he added these types of Rifts in Idle Mode for the first time, and then spend the rest of the day going through its Silver, Bronze, and even the Iron Rifts that took him less than 2-3 minutes to clear. Such a ridiculous rate of clearance meant his Idle Exp that he only needed 1,000,000 of would be reached in a day or two, or even faster as he added more and more Dimensional Rifts! And this was exactly what urred. In one day, Noah swept all the Rifts within the Imperial Capital as he then moved to the City-States nearby, being able to add the Rifts within six surrounding cities before his 24 hour mark that he ced on himself for the purposes of adding more Rifts in Idle Mode. After that, Noah returned into the Waiting Room where he could utilize even more features of the Idle Gaming System, forcing himself to spend the next 24 Hours advancing through the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible! After the timer on the Shattered Life nes Dimensional Rifts finished, the next one to appear whether due to fate or chance was the element of Aether, Noah delving into these Rifts dly as he collected more Aether Law Crystals when he began clearing the levels past 50s. The Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts, the Tower of Champions, Infinite Crucible, and the addition of more Dimensional Rifts from the Ethereal Realm. Noah went through a cycle of such tedious tasks for two weeks! An entire 14 days...but the changes that urred within this time period were ridiculous, to say the least. One must recall that when certain events happened that forced Noah to realize that he always wanted to be the most capable guy in the room, it had just taken him days to go from Iron to Gold and then Diamond! He then reached tinum as he spent the next two weeks adding Rifts and delving into the vibrant features of the Idle Gaming System for 14 days,ing out of it a brand new being. THRUM! Mana was wildly spreading out above the skies of the Imperial Capital of the Light Continent. At this moment the enormous figure of a Dragon Emperor was floating atop this City, releasing a terrifying pressure that even the most prideful Royals shook in fear at while they just stared from below. That''s right! It was a Dragon Emperor! Not a Dragon King that Noah was able to fuse in the PLATINUM Realm, but a Unit above the Rank of tinum as it stood on the next Rank that was termed the Soul Realm! After a creature had reached the Rank of PLATINUM and forged a body that was capable of stepping into the void of space like Noah and Low Ranking Realm Overseer Drax had done, they would then seek to strengthen their soul as the next rank was one that focused on elevating the strength of the Soul and prepare a being for the grand stages toe. From the memories of Drax and what Noah had been able to find out as he controlled this being who moved around the Domains of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, the next stages after the Soul rank were termed the World, where one could form a Seed of budding World deep within their newly strengthened Soul as this would be considered their Origin, and the stage after that was to form a genuine World from this Seed and birth a Star, this stage being called the Star Forging Realm! tinum, Soul, World, Star Forging! These were the stages that Noah was ascending through! Simr to the Dragon Emperor that he had fused from elevating two Dragon Kings with 1 million PLATINUM Rank Upgrade Crystals, Noah was currently standing in the same Soul Realm as he left behind tinum days ago. Currently, his Dragon Emperor was floating majestically in the skies of the Imperial City as Noah wasying atop its scalesfortably. The pristine clouds could be seen around him as he had a smile of contentment, Annalise and Rose letting out powerful waves of power at the PLATINUM Realm as they sat beside the back on dragon while enjoying a feast that Noah had bought from the Dimensional Store that held too many things! The three of them were really having a pic in the skies on the back of a Dragon as before them, [Stewed Phoenix Wings], and [Braised Tiger Legs] were among the many foods they were enjoying, the girls talking to each other happily as Noah was staring into his Idle Gaming System panel. Within this panel, a vast amount of boxes could be seen under thebels of Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold, with a single diamond colored box being seen under thebel of Diamond. These were all the Rifts Noah had managed to add after scouring the whole Light and Dark Continent, where he hadn''t even finished the Dimensional Rifts within the Wild Continent as of right now! But even these allowed for him to have a ridiculous amount of rewards, this being expressed fully as he clicked on all the Rifts in Idle Mode to collect the Loot Resources after 24 hours had passed. IRON [+512,535 Idle Exp][+1,876,244 Iron Rank Cores][+43,205 zing Armor]...[+42,524 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]...[+3,275,536 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] BRONZE [+612,925 Idle Exp][+1,610,375 Bronze Rank Cores]....[+39,593 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]...[+2,467,585 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] SILVER [+335.455 Idle Exp][+435,483 Silver Rank Cores]...[+35,284 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]...[+1,937,482 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] GOLD [425,545 Idle Exp][+214,532 Gold Rank Cores]....[+12,134 Gold Rank Elven Ruler Beast Shards]...[+423,294 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] DIAMOND [11,520 Idle Exp][+720 Diamond Rank Cores]....[+158 Diamond Rank Champion of Aether Beast Shards]...[+20,453 Diamond Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] "..." A glorious amount of loot! Loot that would make a being''s mind explode with greed, loot that consisted of millions of Cores every 24 hours! A day''s worth of loot already granted Noah nearly 2 million Idle Exp, Noah having long since shot past the 1,000,000 Idle Exp Requirement to upgrade the System to the next level, even going ahead crossing the next 10,000,000 Idle Exp Requirement as with another few weeks or even possibly sooner, he would actually also break the next 100,000,000 Idle Exp Requirement! This man was just speedrunning through his obstacles at this moment, and he already had two more features of the Idle Gaming System unlocked after he broke through the 1 million and 10 million Idle Exp barriers! All of this in just two weeks...his Idle Life was just beginning! Chapter 111 - An Idle Life! II One of the biggest things that Noah received from the upgrade of the System twice was the increase of his Unit Slots from 8 to 12! The number of terrifying Rift Bosses that he could now lead increased to an even greater amount as it allowed for his battle power and clearance of the Tower, Shattered nes, and the Crucible to be that much easier. One of the newly added features even had to do with the past unlocked features, where the first new feature Noah received when he broke past the 1 million Idle Exp barrier was the introduction of something called Difficulty! [Difficulty] :: If the Master of the Idle Gaming Systems finds it easy going through the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible, they can now change the difficulty of these features from Normal to Fiendish. On Fiendish Difficulty, the Drop Rate of all Loot is increased by 200%, the chance for Rare Loot to drop in increased by 100%, Mana and Health recovery is reduced by 50% for the Master of the Idle Gaming System and their Units, while the Dimensional Beasts all gain the title of [Fiendish] as their strength is enhanced by 200%, their Health and Mana Regeneration is increased by 50%,? and they gain +50% Resistance to All Universal Laws. Difficulty! As if the features of the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible weren''t hard enough, he was actually given the option to increase their difficulty for the chance of even more glorious loot! This was actually one of the reasons his strength had risen by a great deal, the fact that when he went through these features, he could obtain double the amount of loot that he got in the past. Of course, the difficulty was exactly as mentioned as the highest levels of floors or waves Noah could get to were reducedpared to Normal Mode, but it was way past the floors he could get past just 2 weeks ago as he and all of his Units currently stood at the Soul Rank. He bypassed PLATINUM and entered soul a Week ago, many of his Units following as at this time, he faced a barrier where it was too hard to defeat the upper Floors and waves of the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible! So all he had to do...was continue farming and increase the number of Soul Rank Upgrade Crystals until he got his hands on enough of them to brute force his Units from the Soul Rank and into the Rank that was grandly called the World Realm! There was also another thing he was waiting for as the chance to break through into the next Rank, and it had to do with the new feature unlocked after he passed the 10 million Idle Exp requirement mark just days ago. It was a feature that promised loot even more supreme than he could imagine! [Fate Challenger] :: The Master of Idle Gaming System begins to rise in strength as they will soon reach stages where they be capable enough to alter the fates of many at arge scale. The Feature of [Fate Challenger] gives them the chance to grasp onto the hands of fate. It allows for the randomized chance appearance of a Fate Spirit across the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible. The Fate Spirits are bright gold in color, with a rainbow colored halo surrounding them on all sides as they carry with them immense fortune. If you find one and have the ability to kill it in a short period of time, do so with urgency as when they feel their lives being threatened, Fate Spirits will pull upon the strings of fate and escape instantly. If sessfully taken down, the moment of their death will open a portal to the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne- a Dimensional ne filled with many rare Treasures such as Universal Law Crystals of all Laws, and even the abstruse concepts far above the power ofws. Of course, the Dimensional Beasts found in the Incandescent Fate Treasure nes are extremely hard to take down, many of themprehending High Tier Laws... A feature that allowed to have a chance toe across Fate Spirits that when killed, would open a portal that led him to a wondrous ne filled with Loot! This was what Noah had been hoping toe across every time he cleared the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible. But in the past days, he hadn''te across a single Fate Spirit that could be killed to open a portal into these majestic Treasure nes. But Noah didn''t worry about this too much, knowing that everything woulde with time! At this moment, he was already very proud of how far he hade in just weeks as aside from the ridiculous amount of loot and Idle Exp that granted him two new features, another huge advancement was made in the number of Universal Laws heprehended and their percentages! On the back of the Dragon Emperor, Noah waves his hands as he ushed forth bright gold particles of light, his starry blue eyes staring at these dazzling elements as they were of the Law of Light. RUMBLE! The space around him trembled as he waved his fingers, causing the appearance of extremely dark elements from the Law of Darkness! He could call forth many Universal Laws as with the 3-day change of Rifts in the feature of the Shattered nes Rifts, he hade across Shattered Light nes, Darkness nes, Life nes, and Aether nes on repeat. He wasn''t lucky enough toe across even more gorgeousws of Fate, Chaos, Death, or Karma, but just the ones he came across meant he currently hadprehension in 4 Universal Laws. When it came to the Law of Aether that he was also getting the Law Crystals from the Idle Mode of the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift...Noah had long sinceprehended thisw topletion days ago! If any experts of the Sublunary Dimensional ne heard this, they would spit out blood in anger as this was the rate that only a Dimensional Ruler that had his reach in multiple High Tier Elemental Rifts could achieve! Noah stared at his Status Panel that showed his advancements in the Universal Laws. [Universal Laws] :: <>? <> <>? <> The Universal Law of Aether fullyprehended as he was now in the process of assimtion, and three other High Tier Laws that were on their way towardspleteprehension as well! All in a period of just 14 days¡­ When Noah closed his eyes and felt the elements of these universalws flowing through him. He felt an unlimited sense of strength as his eyes were even hungrier for more and morews! He was even slightly envious of his Units and theirw percentages, where those in the PLATINUM Rank held 10% on their respectiveys after their fusion wasplete, and the SOUL Rank Dragon Emperor below Noah right now held 80% in the Law of Aether the moment its fusionpleted. This was also another boon for Noah- the fact that he held a great number of Units of multiple elements he could choose from! He had the Unit Shards of Light, Aether, Life, and Darkness Elemental Units that he could choose to bring to the Soul Rank! A great deal of choicesy before him as he waved away the elements dancing on top of his palms, looking at the two girls that were enjoying themselves as he recalled their own hard work in the past 2 weeks. The Ethereal Realm looked much different in this short period of time as well, especially when it came to the conditions of the Wild and Dark Continent that had gotten the short end of the stick when the past Ethereal Emperor created his Dynasty. Now, the City-States were filled with an overabundance of Equipment, Cores, and Skill Books as with Noah getting loot from nearly all the Rifts within this Realm- its natives received arge number of rare resources they could only imagine in their wildest dreams! The Subjugated Diamond Blessed worked tirelessly to maintain order throughout the three Continents, many of them having already achieved the Rank of tinum with Noah gracing them with Cores of this level. With the Ethereal Realm heading in the right direction and very few things to worry about, Noah could keep his focus on the Idle Gaming System as right now, he looked forward to locating the rare Fate Spirit so that he could explore the so called Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! Along with this, there was also the Low Ranking Realm Overseer he controlled that was moving within the Sublunary Dimensional ne, giving Noah a significant amount of information about multiple worlds and Realms as he also got himself acquainted with the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. As Noah spent his time idling here, he was also on when it would be the proper time to step out of the Ethereal Realm and begin to add the Rifts that could only be found in the vast space of the Sublunary ne, of the Loot he was only gathering information about in his memories...and also the powerful beings of this Chaotic Universe that he had yet to interact with! ''Well, no harm in bing more OP before stepping out¡­'' He had a light smile as he stood up on top of the vibrant Dragon Emperor, his eyes looking towards the future as he was in no hurry for what was toe! Unlike the adventures of others he had read about so extensively before he transmigrated, he wanted to take his journey in a slightly different direction! Chapter 112 - An Inescapable Fate The endless Chaotic Universe. The Celestial ne that had beings who stood above all others, the Empyrean ne right below it, and themon Sublunary Dimensional ne that Noah had transmigrated to! These starry Dimensional nes were all extremely vast, but in the gazes of Dimensional Rulers moving throughout these nes, even these vast expanses of space had their limits. Within the Sublunary Dimensional ne. Everything was proceeding as it always had in thest hundreds of thousands of years within this ne, with beings rising in power, even more falling and being greeted with the ultimate release of death. There were many generations of powers that rose across the Sublunary Dimensional ne, but the singr fact of them belonging to Factions remained constant throughout! This was because these Factions had powerful Dimensional Rulers that rose to the peak of power within the limits of the Sublunary ne, simply ascending to the higher Empyrean ne that stood above Sublunary as they left behind their vast Organizations into the hands of their own families or subordinates. These beings were known as Ascended, and they rarely bothered with themon events of the Sublunary Dimensional ne after their ascension, only ever interfering in extreme instances where their entire lineage or factions were facing annihtion. Thus, it was a continuous cycle of power changing hands from some Dimensional Rulers to others over thest tens of thousands of years within the Sublunary ne! In this era, there were three Factions that stood strong, with the one that Noah was currently learning about being called the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, the second being known as the Devoted Rulers, and the most terrifying and mysterious one that was known as the Keepers of Order and Fate. The Primal Dimensional Rulers, the Devoted Rulers, and the Keepers of Order and Fate! Three Factions, reigning supreme across the Sublunary Dimensional ne over thest tens of thousands of years. Within these groups, there were a few beings that were granted the Unique Title of Dimensional Rulers-? beings that oversawrge regions of the Sublunary Dimensional ne that they were worthy enough to gain the title of Rulers. Among these Rulers, some could be considered moderately powerful as theyprehended a few normal and some High Tier Universal Laws, but there were peak existences that stood above all other Rulers within the Sublunary ne- and these were the beings that had their hands dipped into Dimensional Rifts that could grant them resources to step on the path of High Tier Laws such as Fate, Karma, Chaos, Light, Aether, Life, and Death! They were lucky enough to wander across the Sublunary ne to find rare Dimensional Rifts within Realms hidden in the folds of Space, or they were privileged enough to have such located rifts handed down to them by their predecessors that Ascended to the Empyrean ne. In this Era, there was 1 Dimensional Ruler within each of the three Factions thatprehended the abstrusews of Fate and Chaos topletion. Coincidentally, these were also the beings that held the most power within these factions, much of the rare Loot that came from the few Fate and Chaos Dimensional Rifts that could be counted on one''s hands falling under their domain! With theirprehensions in thews of Fate and Chaos, these beings were extremely sensitive to the mysterious flow of fate and the ever expanding sea of Chaos within the Sublunary Dimensional ne. Fate! An abstruse concept that very few beings understood, but it was also the concept that decided the direction of the lives of many beings. On this particr day, within the magisterial abodes of the Dimensional Rulers that could efficiently wield thews of chaos and fate. THRUM! Mana unconsciously erupted out from the bodies of these beings as they released the very "essence" of the Universal Laws that shone bright gold and dark! Essence! Essence was an even higher form of mana, the term that many beings used to describe the energies of different types ofws! From the bodies of these three powerful Dimensional Rulers, the very essence of the universalws of fate and chaos wildly flew around them as information began flooding into their minds, their high achievements in thesews allowing them to sense great changes in their own fate as well as the expanding sea of chaos. The 3 Dimensional Rulers that stood at the very top of the Factions that ruled over the Sublunary ne had great changes in their expressions as they saw the river of fate of the Sublunary ne churning, the sea of chaos rising as they were all given a single message! Their dominion was in trouble! The vast clusters of worlds and Realms they ruled over would very soon be stripped from them, a foreign power they had nevere across beforeing to dominate them. A power that didn''t belong to any of the three Factions currently ruling over the Sublunary ne! ¡­! "...!" The hearts of the Dimensional Rulers were speechless as they didn''t even know how to take in such incredulous information. They were the leaders of Factions left behind by Ascended beings that had long since stepped into the Empyrean Dimensional ne, just who could be bold or even powerful enough to tear them down? It was a shocking development as aside from everything else, it further showed the horrendous power of some of the High Tier Laws as the Dimensional Rulers thatprehended Fate and Chaos were actually given the chance to change their own fate and control theing chaos that would go on to affect trillions! The message they received was clear as all that was left to do for them was to decide just what they would do about it to change their fates! Within an abode of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, a being with a somber expression let his mana freely flow into the essence of Fate within his Origin as he pulled more information. In the next few seconds, he was able to confirm that the threating for his dominion was not from any of the three factions as it came outside, which meant that somewhere in the hidden and unexplored folds of space within the Sublunary ne- a force capable enough to threaten their Order was rising. "Very well." WAA! The Dimensional Ruler opened his eyes as they shed with a golden light, a decision being made right then and there. Naturally, he and the 2 others that had received this information from the river of fate would move to nip this threat in the bud before the fate they foresaw would evere to light! Their faces were filled with the bright allure of fate as they made moves soon after, the river of fate and the sea of chaos constantly ever changing as they began to veer towards an unknown direction. --- It was only hourster that shockingmands began to spread out across the ranks of powerful beings within the powerful Factions of the Sublunary ne! Themands were simple, even being something along the lines of what all the factions did passively over the past years. But this time, it was amand for all of them to do it an extremely aggressive fashion- it was for the Dimensional Rulers and Overseers to actively spread out and search the vast Sublunary ne for more unique locations and hidden Realms across the folds of space! Whether it was newly formed Realms that birthed rare Rifts they had note across yet or even destroyed Realms in the process of rebirth- themands were for them to scour the Sublunary ne in a call for Conquest that would increase the regions under the control of the three Factions! It was amand that was answered with enthusiasm across the board as it meant a great deal of opportunities. It was also amand that would damn the many hidden Realms across the Sublunary ne as they would experience the descent of powerhouses that would control them and the Rifts within their Realms. It was also a disruption to a certain transmigrator that wanted to live an idle life without any worries, his consciousness currently taking over the mind of the Low Ranking Realm Overseer Drax that had also received themands from his higher ups for what was about to happen! "...are you serious?" At this moment, Noah had long since finished his pic on top of the Dragon Emperor with Annalise and Rose, having already entered the Infinite Crucible as he was fighting [Lifebourne] Dimensional Beasts to try and bring hisprehension in thisw to 100%. THRUM! His expression turned sour as his eyes shed with tendrils of blue light, the immense energy of the Telekic Emperor vibrating out as it carried with it the essence of the Universal Laws of Life, Aether, Light, and Darkness. Waves of these terrifying mental energies ravaged the Wave of PLATINUM Beasts he faced as the minds of beasts were destroyed, Noah having a sour expression as his mood turned bad in just seconds because of some nonsensical actions! Even though he was bent on having an idle life, it felt like someone was actively trying their best to pull him into conflicts in any way possible. BOOM! As ns and ideas changed in his mind, he took out his anger against the terrifying PLATINUM Ranked Dimensional Beasts as around him, terrifying Units releasing the aura of Rift Bosses at the SOUL Rank joined their master in decimating the Beasts they were fighting on Fiendish Difficulty! Amidst his worsening mood, Noah''s mental essence thundered down with even more vigor as in a corner of the expansive floor of the Infinite Crucible, he almost missed a golden figure with bright incandescent wings and a careful expression as it looked at the destruction around it. Almost. WAA! But his breathing calmed a secondter as he focused, his eye locking with the first ever Fate Spirit that he had been looking for what seemed like forever! A Fate Spirit that would lead to the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! Chapter 113 - An Inescapable Fate! II Noah''s eyes focused sharply as amidst the swarms of PLATINUM Lifebourne Dimensional Beasts...his eyes honed in on an extremely bright creature with golden wings. A Fate Spirit that could appear in any of the floors of the Tower of Champions or Shattered Dimensional nes Rift, or any of the waves of the Infinite Crucible...but it rarely appeared. Noah had been looking for this creature over the past days unsessfully, but the moment that he received information from his Subjugated Realm Overseer that ruined his mood, this Fate Spirit appeared to lift him up! RUMBLE! His essence of many Universal Laws bubbled dangerously as he gave amand to his units. If anyone from just a month ago was to see the current line up of Units that Noah carried, they would think they were dreaming as the number and power of Rift Bosses he controlled was purely ridiculous. With the advancement of the System twice, he gained 4 extra slots as he currently had 12 Units at the Rank above tinum...the Soul Rank that no other beings in the Ethereal Realm had reached! ROAAR! 4 Dragon Emperors, 4 Light Overseers that were the fused forms of Light Sentinels, 4 Propitious Unicorns that were fused from Luminous Unicorns, andstly 4 Imperial Life Phoenixes that were the new set of Units Noah liked the most. He gave amand to these terrifying 12 Units at the SOUL Rank as their gazes stopped terrorizing the Lifebourne Beasts below them, their eyes locking with the Fate Spirit in a far away corner of the floor of the Infinite Crucible! WAP! The fastest creatures under Noah- the Propitious Unicorns moved first. Noah wanted no mistake with this creature that rarely ever appeared, moving with utter seriousness as at the speed of light, the Propitious Unicorns instantly reached the Fate Spirit as their bodies released 4 attacks on all sides! A single Fate Spirit that seemed to be at the PLATINUM Realm, cornered on all sides by 4 SOUL Rank beasts. What result could it be but utter annihtion? BOOOM! Noah even had the other Units on standby toy down even more attacks if need be, but the deadly Light Skills of the Propitious Unicorns shredded apart the Fate Spirit as it screamed out in agony, its body ballooning up and exploding in a shower of glorious golden light as from it bloomed...a portal! A fantastical and ever expanding golden portal that grew wide until it reached 20 meters in diameter! ¡­! Noah was breathless as he stared at this beautiful scene. The portal shimmered gold throughout, pulsing vibrantly as it seemed to even be enticing those that saw it! And Noah...was fully enticed with what this portal led to as he gave themand for his Units to rush in while he followed right after! The swarms of Lifebourne Dimensional Beasts were left behind as Noah and his Units disappeared from the Infinite Crucible. They crossed through an enormous golden portal that the savage Dimensional Beasts could somehow not evene close to...they passed from one Dimension to the next as they entered into the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! --- When the feature of [Fate Challenger] first appeared, its description told Noah that it was to give the Master of the Idle Gaming System the chance to "grasp onto the hands of fate." Fate! It was a word appearing more and more recently, and the opportunity Noah received led directly to this concept at this moment. OOOOM! Noah and his Units were flung across spacetime as they only came to secondster, their eyes opening up to something out of pure unfiltered fantasy. When Noah first opened his eyes, all he could see was light. Bright, gorgeous, glimmering light of Cores that were piled up like mountains in front of him! ¡­! A mountain of Cores covering the expansive and entirely too wide cavernous system he was in! He was in a space that looked to be hundreds of metersrge, yet above him was ayer of glistening gold earth as the cavern looked cylindrical shaped and leading out towards multiple forking directions. But the major thing was that the walls of this huge cavernous space he found himself in...was filled with glittering loot just lying there. He came to full attention as he saw the majority of the Cores were in the Rank of Diamond, a small percentage being glimmering PLATINUM Cores! He didn''t know what rtion this had to the fact that the Fate Spirit he killed was at the tinum Rank, and he didn''t have enough information on whether a differently ranked Fate Spirit would send him to a different type of Incandescent Fate Treasure ne. All he knew was that in front of him were a great deal of Cores! So he waved his hands towards them as the essence of the Telekic Emperor released from him, the mountains of Diamond and PLATINUM Cores beginning to rush towards him as he put it all in his inventory. WAA! His figure began to float forward as he grabbed every single glittering core he could find around him, this entire area being filled with loot as Noah really felt like was in a Treasure ne that was filled with boundless treasure! As he proceeded forward and saw that he was collecting Cores in the hundreds of thousands with the passing seconds, he wondered if it should even be allowed for him to do all this when his awareness caught the aura of another being within this ne for the first time. OOOM Deeper in the cavernous path he was following while collecting the glimmering loot, an expansive area opened up in front of him where the aura of a terrifying being could be felt. Waves of essence of multiple Universal Laws emanated from this area, Noah and his Units stepping into it with their own terrifying auras as the being within rose up as if it was awoken from a deep slumber! It looked like a huge mass of flesh that sat in the middle of the room, glistening Cores and...Universal Law Crystals of multiplews actually being present within the room this creature was in! Noah gazed at it as his eyes shone brightly. It was a big fucker at the SOUL rank. Its body was simply oversized as it towered over 50 meters, looking like a fat mass of flesh as one could shockingly see brightly glowing Cores and Universal Law Crystals sticking out of its pulsating flesh form! Thews of Chaos, Fate, Aether, and Light emanated out from this mass of flesh in droves as hundreds of eyes opened on its body, Noah feeling an intense light that caused his mind to shake as this being emanated an aura greater than any of his Units! A name popped up above its head as the aura it released began to edge ever higher. [Fateful Abomination]. OOOOH! It roared out grandly as Noah wasn''t put off by it, even rushing towards it as his Units followed- the whole cave filled with glimmering Cores and Universal Law Crystals seeming like it was just waiting for him! --- As Noah delved into the Incandescent Fate Realm, the Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne roused the movements of all the powerful beings within their Factions to begin expanding the regions they controlled. Within the Faction of the Keepers of Order and Fate. Inside of a certain Realm that was widely known as the 9 Chaotic Seas Realm, a Dimensional Rulerzily sat on a reclined sofa as her curvaceous figure would draw in the mind of any weak man. This reclined sofa she sat on was on top of a floating piece ofndmass that floated silently in a dark chaotic sea, not an ounce of life anywhere around her as it was a lone womanfortably reclining on a sofa while she gazed into the sea! She currently held an expression of dissatisfaction as she spoke out to no one while she looked at the depths of the chaotic sea where a Chaos Dimensional Rift was stationed stably amidst the waves. "He senses the changes from Fate and Chaos and then chooses to nip it in the bud so soon...hmph!" Her gaze was fiery as her eyes seemed unwilling, and this was because this Dimensional Ruler was a being that had long sincepletely assimted the Law of Chaos! She was so intune with Chaos that she felt the changes even faster than the strongest Dimensional Ruler within the Keepers of Order and Fate who alsoprehended the Law of Fate, but the authority of this being exceeded hers as the Ascended of the past Keepers of Order and Fate had left the rule to this being, along with powerful tools that made him stronger than most beings in the Sublunary ne. But the Dimensional Ruler floating amidst the sea of Chaos did not have the same goals as this being that led the Keepers of Order and Fate! Being so in tune with Chaos, she was actually the first to sense the path even past Universal Laws within the current era of experts in the Sublunary ne, and to achieve this path that evaded her even now...she would need to experience even more chaos. When she sensed the same changes as the other three Dimensional Rulers, she was excited for the rise of another force that would threaten the current three factions as it would mean an explosion of chaos! But...the cowards that wielded power at the very top didn''t want any of this as they quickly moved to see if they could change fate. "Hmph! Chaos...I need chaos!" Her curvaceous body rose from the seat she was on as she looked no older than a girl in her 20s, but her devilish figure was burning to the eyes as a sharp light passed through her own dark eyes. "Well...if they''re moving to try and prevent any more chaos, why don''t I just muddy the waters?" A smile entered her lips as she thought of this, many ideas forming in her mind that she would have never dared to form before due to the power that the top Dimensional Ruler of the Keepers of Order and Fate held. But now, it was an era of chaos. Anything was possible! "Maybe if it''s chaotic enough, I can sense the path pastws more easily...I could possibly touch upon a...Dao!" RUMBLE! The waves of chaotic sea churned as the curvaceous figure rose up with a devilish smile on her face. With an expression of enthusiasm and a face looking for trouble, she moved! Chapter 114 - Am I Finally Overpowered? Fateful Abomination. The first creature that Noah faced within the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne and it was one that was an abomination that had the essence of 4 High Tier Laws. Noah looked at this creature curiously as he gave amand to his Units. "Swarm it and take it down." THRUM! The bodies of 12 SOUL Rank Rift Bosses moved in conjunction as they seamlessly worked like a team after moving together the past few days. The Imperial Life Phoenixes were like burning verdant mes as they shuttled across the roof of the expansive cavern as released deadly green mes that bathed the [Fateful Abomination] in a scorching sea of mes. The Dragon Emperors moved after as tendrils of Aether began to rain down crazily, weaving into the mes as they struck the flesh of the Abomination in turns without a single one missing! ZING! ZING! The attacks from the Propitious Unicorns came at the speed of light, spears filled with Light Element skewering the fat mass of flesh this creature held as it let out a horrendous roar! OOOOOH! It bellowed out powerfully even amidst the attacks as it seemed to ignore all the damage as its body began to glow dangerously with the essence of 4 Universal Laws, apparently ready to release terrifying attacks that could shake the whole cavern around them! But this was when the Light Overseers that were the fused forms of the terrifying Light Sentinels acted. The Light Sentinels already had dreadful defensive, attack, and healing capabilities, but all of these areas were further enhanced to the extreme when a Light Overseer was born as Noah considered it one of his strongest Units active! OOOOM! A grand light of righteousness erupted out as the four Light Overseers cast the newly gained skill, [Shields of Justice]. Essence waved of grandly as enormous golden shields appeared not around Noah or his Units, but around the body of the Fateful Abomination as multiple of these huge shields formed a tight circr ring around it as they shed with intense light! When the Abomination released its attacks a secondter, scorching mes that held the essence of the Laws of Light, Aether, Chaos, and Fate erupted out as they smashed onto the golden shields...nothing happening as the shield stood sturdy while the scorching mes went to redirect themselves back to the being that had cast them. BOOM! An explosion resounded out as Noah nodded with a smile, seeing the beast roar out in exhaustion as he gave themand. "Finish it." ZING! Attacks from the 12 Rift Bosses thundered down again in cycles and all at once, the figure of the Fateful Abomination bing drowned out as after 2 more rounds of such attacks, its fleshly mass of a body exploded out in a gory shower of golden blood and gore as with it...the Universal Law Crystals and Cores that were sticking out of its body were now free loot for Noah to take. Loot that included thews that this creature was wielding before it died...namely the Laws of Chaos, Fate, Aether, and Light! Two of them he had, but this would be the only time that Noah came across the crystals of the Laws of Fate and Chaos. His mental essence moved out as the numerous Crystals and Cores all around this area flew towards him en masse, being tabted and entered into his inventory the moment they neared. The number of Cores and Universal Law Crystals were calcted. Noah focused on the numbers of Fate and Chaos Crystals as he called them out into his hands, looking at each of them in either hand as he saw one shining with golden lines, the other swirling with chaotically moving dark particles! [Fate Universal Law Crystal](x23) [Chaos Universal Law Crystal](28) A gorgeous number of them dropped from the single Fateful Abomination on top of the other Light and Aether Crystals it dropped, and Noah had his Units protectively stand around him as he sat down right then and there to absorb the powerful essence emanating from these powerful crystals that held two of the highest rankedws he hade across! RUMBLE! This moment in time would be when Noah finally came in touch with the abstrusews of Fate and Chaos. Within the location that could be considered his very center- the ce where the point called his Origin held his condensed soul when he rose from the PLATINUM Rank and into the SOUL Rank...glimmers of Fate Lines and Chaos Particles began to swirl around him! 23 Fate Law Crystals, 2.3% in the Law of Fate! 28 Chaos Law Crystals, 2.8% in thew of Chaos! Noah absorbed all of the vibrantly shining cores within minutes as he opened his eyes sharply, glimmers of mysterious golden lines shining from his eyes as for the first time, he began to sense the vast river of Fate and the Sea of Chaos of the ne he was in. It seemed fuzzy at this moment as Noah felt like he had to forge further ahead within these powerful Laws before things became clearer! With a sharpening gaze filled with purpose, he looked at the golden glistening cavernous space of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne he was in as he continued forward. His gaze was hungry as he searched for more Fateful Abomination while picking up all Cores wondrouslyying around every area he passed within this Treasure ne! He confirmed that the only time he came across Universal Law Crystals was when he passed through the huge cylindrical paths of the area he was in and entered into a circr cavernous space hundreds of milesrge where a Fate Abominationy waiting for him. The first one he met gave him around 20 Universal Cores for each of the Laws it held, but the next ones after that provided even more splendrous boons as their power also rose! From the second Fateful Abomination, Noah gained over 30 Crystals of the Laws of Chaos and Fate as he brought bothws over 5%, using the overpowering strength of his Units to forge ahead while he felt the path in front of him gradually be clear. It wasn''t simply the path of where he should move within this Incandescent Fate Treasure ne, but a path of where his own life should lead! Thews of Fate and Chaos that he was beginning to increasinglyprehend were showing him things he never even thought about, theyers of mystery still covering them making him seek more percentage in thesews as he fully delved into the Treasure Realm, facing powerful Beasts that freely utilized multiple High Tier Laws with ease. The hours passed. BOOM! Wondrous skills from the 12 SOUL Ranked Units rained down. From a single Fateful Abomination, Noah began toe across two as the battles became harder, but so did the loot. On the 3rd hour he spent within this Treasure Realm as he searched through the winding cavernous paths for more enemies, Noah had already hit 38% in the Law of Fate and 41% in the Law of Chaos as he was ridiculouslyprehendingws at some of the fastest rates he had ever done, even whenparing his runs in the Infinite Crucible, Tower of Champions, or the Shattered nes Rifts! The Incandescent Fate Treasure ne truly deserved its name as it was filled with an overabundance of treasures to be taken by those who had enough power to fight for them! All that Noah worries about was that the cavernous paths he was taking would end, but this worry of his was never realized. He continued toe across mountains of glistening Cores in every new area he entered, and even more terrifying Fateful Abominations greeted him as he eventually faced 3 Abominations at once! Their power far exceeded average Rift Bosses with thews they wielded, where Noah could effectively say a single Fateful Abomination held power equivalent to 4 Rift Bosses of the SOUL Rank. Facing 3 of them was like facing the collective pressure of 12 Rift Bosses simr to the Units he led! But he preserved. The bright blue within his eyes shone brightly as gold began to permeate in, his mind buzzing as he was able to see more and more of the river of fate...and even the direction of his own fate. He felt like he was on the grasp of something, and if he reached out just a little more...he could lock on to something fantastical! BUZZ! He downed two Mana Potions as his mental energies rushed out in droves, the essence of thews of Chaos, Fate, Light, Aether, Life, and Darkness rushing out under themand of the Telekic Emperor as they pressed down on the three Fateful Abominations. They were held in ce just for a few seconds as Noah used all of his mental essence on this action, but it was enough as the attacks of his Units rained down consecutively within these seconds where Noah drowned them in mental pressure! RUMBLE! Explosions rocked the enormous cavernous space as it was followed by silence. "..." The three Fateful Abominations were wiped out as Noah took out another Mana Potion, his fingers waving grandly as over tens of Universal Law Crystals flowed into his hands. He absorbed them soon after as he continued forward, bent on shockingly achieving 100% in thews of Chaos and Fate within just hours ofing in contact with them as he fully utilized the Incandescent Fate Treasure Realm! He felt that he would gain something that would entirely change everything he knew when he achievedpleteprehension of thesews, so he thundered forward at an even faster pace! Chapter 115 - Am I Finally Overpowered? II The river of Fate continued to flow as the Sea of Chaos churned. Time passed within the Sublunary ne of the Chaotic Universe as the forces of the powerful Dimensional Rulers of the Three Factions overseeing the ne spread out, their goal being to search for new and unexplored Realms across the far reaches of the ne! Realms were regrly destroyed and underwent the process of rebirth in the Chaotic Universe, making it so that over thousands of years, many knew rare locations arose as they would soon be filled with life, with some remaining barren as they only held rare Dimensional Rifts within. These were the areas that the Dimensional Rulers focused on as even the subjugated Low Ranking Realm Overseer Drax was given a mission to scour a specific region! Amidst all this, Noah continued to delve deeper into the Incandescent Fate Treasure Realm, the feeling he got when he continued to absorb the Universal Cores of thews of Chaos and Fate bing even clear as after a few hours, he neared 100%prehension on both of them. He had passed through multiple Fateful Abominations while collecting the loot around the glistening cavernous space, and he now watched as another three Abominations fell while their bodies exploded into a gory mass of golden flesh and universalw crystals! Like clockwork, Noah''s units protected him as he gathered all the Crystals, beginning to absorb one by one as this time around, his percentage had already inched over 90% and was edging ever higher. THRUM! Around his body, faint golden lines of fate began to shimmer while dark chaos particles swirled around him, his eyes bright as he watched the percentage continue climbing higher! 95%, 98%! ...100%! RUMBLE! Akin to the sound of an explosion resounding out, Noah dried a Fate Crystal in one hand and a Chaos Crystal in another as he reached 100%prehension in both of them. His eyes opened wide a burst of gold and ck was released from them, seconds passing before his original cerulean blue returned to his eyes! The river of Fate of the Sublunary Dimensional ne...was now clear to him. The Sea of Chaos that continued to churn at this very second made itself easy to understand as Noah adopted a deep smile on his face. With 100%prehension in these twows, Noah saw a brand new path open up in front of him as if he was blind before...he could now see! He saw the Life of Noah Eckert before he transmigrated into this body, and he then saw the numerous possibilities thaty in front of him not after he had transmigrated...but after he gained the Idle Gaming System! Even after Noah''s soul had transferred over, the fate of Noah Eckert didn''t change all that much as it was after he activated the System that an explosive amount of paths opened up in front of him. The System. Everything came down to the System! At this moment, Noah saw many paths going into multiple directions listed in front of him, with some leading him to mediocrity even with such a system in hand, with others shockingly leading him to death or a great amount of sess as he became someone with great influence andmanded powerful beings. The steps he would take would determine where he himself would end up! Whether he would step on a golden path of fate, or whether he would fall upon the tumultuous sea of chaos. "To elevate myself the fastest and guarantee my life...I actually have to step out¡­" Noah spoke lightly as a light smile could be seen on his face. No longer was it of a mere kid going into his 20s, but that of someone that had stumbled upon great wisdom! This was what Fate and Chaos provided for Noah- direction and wisdom! Aside from what he saw of himself, he also saw the information of others that he had never met as a phenomenon simr to what the three Dimensional Rulers who hadprehended thews of Chaos and Fate felt just a day prior came unto him as well. "I see¡­" THRUM! "Big changes cane for the Sublunary Dimensional ne, and I could be one of the core reasons for this change! This is why the Dimensional Rulers of the Three Factions began expanding and searching for more Realms¡­" The same information that very few beings received a day earlier nowy on hisp, Noah focusing on this point of "powerful" beings. When he actually put himself on such a pedestal, he wondered if he had actually grown overpowered enough to do so! His current Rank was at the SOUL Realm- a level that only the top most High Ranking Realm Overseers held. Those that directly answered under Dimensional Rulers were had already finished forging the SOUL as they began to fully manifest an illusory world within their Origin, stepping into the WORLD Rank as these were the peak powerhouses that regrly moved across the Sublunary ne! Then you had the Dimensional Rulers themselves. The beings that didn''t just go from the illusory World as they had already begun to forge a star at their very Core, having long since stepped into the STAR Realm as the strength they carried was more than enough to release the explosive force of a star. Such a being could easily cross the chaotic void and if they saw a they didn''t particrly like, they could on a whim throw out an attack as it would be more than enough to shatter a genuineary body! These were the stages of the Dimensional Rulers! Aside from such a stupendous Rank, the more outstanding Rulers had not justprehended multiple Laws, but they had already assimted them as the level of strength they could release was something hard to imagine. Noah...could actually put himself at the same stage as these beings not in terms of strength, but on the possibilities his fate held. If he yed his cards correctly, even these beings currently on a pedestal and seeming very far away would stand before him in defeat. If he yed his cards correctly! "Mmm, very well! It seems I really must step out of the Ethereal Realm to proceed forward at an even faster pace¡­" RUMBLE! Noah''s gaze was firm as he didn''t worry about this too much. Outside of hisfortable Ethereal Realm, there might be some dangers. But there were also abundant opportunities as a great deal of Dimensional Rifts and even more sources of Loot waited for him! As for the enemies that were actually wading through the Sublunary ne looking for him? "Let theme. We''ll see how they can avoid being subjugated!" ¡­! With eyes shing sharply, Noah continued forward as his figure moved with conviction. He seemed to being to an end of the winding cavernous paths of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne as at this moment, his aura sensed a huge room up ahead with no sources of exit anywhere around it. Aside from this, the center of the room held a beast different from the Fateful Abominations that Noah had faced all this time, this one being something entirely different as Noah collected the glistening DIAMOND and PLATINUM Cores just sprawled out like mountains as he stepped into the room to meet thest enemy! It was, of course, the Rift Boss of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne. Noah calmly nced upon it as his eyes fluttered a little,ing face to face with a creature boasting a humanoid shape but over 20 meters tall, along with bright golden wings on its back as its face seemed slightly feminine. It was very simr to the Fate Spirit that Noah had killed so that he could enter this Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! Its body vibrated with the essence of manyws as well as...a tinge of something else as its eyesnded on Noah coldly. The aura it released was shocking as shining brightly on its chest, Noah could see the manifested appearance of an Illusory form of a World. A WORLD Rank creature for a Rift Boss! While Noah was still at the rank below, even his Units all still being at the SOUL Realm! This terrifying Rift Boss that was actually a rank higher...would be the toughest enemy that Noah had faced in his lifetime within this Chaotic Universe. But his understanding of fate that was just catapulted from nothing to extremeprehension told him that if he was able to get past it¡­ The prize he would receive was something that even the most powerful existences of the Sublunary Dimensional ne were still searching for. Something that Noah could feel emanating from this creature that looked like an oversized killer fairy at this moment! An essence of something that felt even more regal than aw, something that made Noah''s heart beat faster as with his experience as a reader...he was expectant of this prized essence as he would do all he could to obtain it! Chapter 116 - Fighting Against A Higher Rank! [Incandescent Chaos Bearer] :: A Unique Existence that has lived between the border of chaos and fate for many years, choosing the side of chaos as it has grown to be so proficient that it has touched upon the abstruse concept of Destruction. The name of the Boss of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne was shown in front of Noah as he nced over its details with a solemn expression. Its description was short and concise, with Noah focusing mainly on the part that showed it had exceeded even chaos as itprehended something else. A concept of Destruction! From Noah''s knowledge, he knew that this must be the stage abovews...the stupendous realms of Universal concepts known as Daos! Such a thing...he wanted it in his hand, but he knew it would be extremely hard to get his hands on it when he looked at the enemy he had to defeat. But, he had prepared for a day such as this. When an exceedingly powerful enemy appeared as he might not have any way of taking it down...it meant that it had to be taken down in waves. The method he made to achieve this...was in the form of Units! Aside from the main team that he regrly used, he had spent his abundant Diamond and PLATINUM Cores to buy Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store, where he then went on to use his even more abundant Upgrade Crystals to fuse hundreds of Units at the Diamond Rank and tens at the tinum Rank. He also had 32 Unit Shards of freshly unsummoned SOUL Rank Rift Bosses that he nned to deploy if ever an unfortunate death urred during his fights! This was all his savings for the past 2 weeks of farming. This was where he spent most of his Cores and Upgrade Crystal Reserves as he prepared for a day like today, and it actually came! Deaths...seemed to be inevitable in the battle toe as he would have to enact his n of reducing the enemy''s strength with waves of Unit Teams that would try tost as long as possible, reducing the strength of this enemy before ultimately taking it down. THRUM! Therge cavernous space that the Boss of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne was in began to tremble as its aura shot out madly. Noah''s eyes squinted as he waved his hands tomand the Units of his prime team back into his inventory,? calling forth 12 SOUL Rank Units that made up a team he considered "Disposable", not even bothering with releasing a tinum Unit Team as it would only be shredded in front of this Boss that would be two levels higher! SOUL Rank against the WORLD Rank...at least this might be feasible. Aside from him having nearly 3 back up teams after his prime team, there was also himself. When he made his advancement into the SOUL Rank, his two Inherent Skills also advanced a stage as he unlocked two new abilities. ||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], [Remote Control], [Dominator''s Consciousness], and [Evolve|Devolve], and [Spatial Puppet Master] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Mind Guider] ... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission],[Field Master], [Ruler''s Emenation], and [Telekic Constructs] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Precognition]... From the Mind Dominator, it was [Spatial Puppet Master], while the Telekic Emperor granted a new ability termed [Telekic Constructs]! The one currently in focus that Noah nned to use to help in taking down the terrifying Boss ahead of him was Telekic Constructs. [Telekic Constructs] :: The Telekic Emperor can actualize mental energy into movable constructs of his choosing, having a finer control of the released energy as its power is elevated over ten times. Yes! Noah could actually exert even greater control over his mental strength as he could actualize it into any forms he wished at this moment! If he wanted to construct spears, swords, armors...any sort of constructs that he had in mind, as long as he could provide enough energy for it- he could utilize it. WAA! As his thoughts churned, his 12 newly called on Units moved towards the terrifying creature whose body began to vibrate with a chilling ck aura, its eyes cold as it waved its hands to cause the appearance of enormous spears palpating with the darkness of the abyss! These spears carried with them the essence of multiplews, but they also held a tinge of the terrifying essence of Destruction that caused rm bells to ring in the minds of the SOUL Rank Units. Before the spears even arrived, Noah''s mind moved as waves of mental essence erupted from him, the constructs he chose to form with all the essence he released actually being a set of armors that protectively wrapped around the Units. It was all for the sake of survivability! Among the newly put forth Units, there was a Light Overseer who stayed behind casting golden shields to rotate around the other Units, an Imperial Life Phoenix ready to release powerful Healing skills for anyone whose defenses were pierced through. And when it came to the attacks of a being a Rank higher than them who also held the concept of something higher than even Universal Laws.... BOOOM! Some of the units were flung back as if they were doll rags even with their exorbitant amount of mana and protection, many of them managing to survive by a hair''s breadth due to Noah''s protection as his mental essence wrapped around their bodies protectively! The heals from the Light Overseer and Imperial Life Phoenix came down as Noah was also ready to distribute potions, a battle of attrition urring against a powerful Rift Boss as the strategy of slowly grinding it down with sheer numbers and the use of potions began. The Incandescent Chaos Bearer''s face was cid at first, but as a minute passed where it flung back Noah''s units with powerful attacks only to have them recover secondster caused her expression to turn wrathful, her body crackling with the essence of manyws as behind her, the essence of the concept of Destruction began to be iid with her attacks. THRUM! The very air crackled as chaos storms began to form around the Chaos Bearer, Noah''s units beginning to be ground down as one of them actually faced death at this instant! Yet Noah''s face remained passive as the moment this unit died, another set of Unit Shards were fused as another SOUL Rank Unit took its ce. "Let''s see who can hold out longer. You...or the tools of my System!" WAA! While chugging a mana potion and using his mental energy to send even more potions into his Units, Noah got into the pace of the battle as he personally stayed far away from the Incandescent Chaos Bearer, simply using [Telekic Constructs] to grant his Units enough defenses to withstand the attacks of this creature a level higher than them as they would be reinforced and healed with the defensive units as time passed! Yet, Unit after Unit still fell as the minutes passed, the attacks of the terrifying Rift Boss being relentless as it just seemed to be more and more enraged. Three Light Overseers were acting as Tanks at this moment, withstanding its deadly attacks tinged with the concept of Destruction as vibrant golden shields surrounded them as they healed themselves back to back! Aether Dragons and Propitious Unicorns flew in the skies of the wide cavern andid down appalling attacks...this cycle repeating as over an hour passed! 13 Units had perished as of this moment. The aura of the Incandescent Chaos Bearer had also begun wavering as her attacks became even more drastic. Yet Noah stayed far in the back as he continued to control the pace of the battle, around 20 Spare SOUL Rank Units still in his reserves for him to use even without putting his original team into ount! His heart burned with the death of each Unit as it represented too many resources, but he was also expectant for the end of this battle as what he would be able to obtain was something much too grand! Another half an hour passed. The wide golden cavernous space was filled with cracks from attacks of multiplews as well as thergest cracks that contained a hint of the concept of Destruction. The Incandescent Chaos Bearer was now missing one of its golden wings as its face was bloody, its golden irises rotating maddeningly at the possibility of it even being defeated with lesser beings! OOOOH! It bellowed out madly as chaos exploded from it, this chaos carrying a hint of destruction as two nearby Units weren''t fast enough- being wiped out instantly. SHAA! Yet...two more Units identical to them took their ces a secondter as the Chaos Bearer screamed in frustration! Its bellows seemed like the dying calls of a majestic creature that didn''t expect to be taken down in the way that it had. Another 30 minutes passed. The spare Units Noah had saved up this entire time were nearly all wiped out, but the result was the Chaos Bearer missing multiple limbs as ity at death''s door! Its gaze was unwilling as its golden eyes locked murderously with Noah''s, but he didn''t even give this creature a chance for anyst minute attacks as he waved his hands, ushering forth the 12 Units of his main team- every single creature being brand new as their attacks released the moment after they were summoned. BOOM! Aether, Light, and the essence of the Laws of Life thundered down as a secondter...the Origin of a WORLD Rank expert shattered. THRUM! Glorious golden light erupted out as when the scene of deadly skills cleared, Noah could see the fractured body of the Incandescent Chaos Bearer, an even brighter golden light erupting out in the next second as the body of this creature was split apart...the bright glimmer of loot beginning to shoot out from it as Noah could see tens of Universal Law Crystals and Cores fly out, as well as a glistening core the size of his head that shone with a terrifying dark light! It was an eruption of loot! Chapter 117 - Grasping Onto Destruction, Stepping Into The Sublunary Plane! I The Rift Boss split apart like a pinata as a flood of loot rushed out, Noah''s eyes focusing on a few specific glimmering loot as his mental energy spread out to snatch them in the air before they traveled out too far. THRUM! The huge cavernous space trembled with the death of the Incandescent Fate Bearer, a glowing golden portal forming at the very end of it as this should be the Noah ticket out of the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! But all of this faded away from Noah''s mind as he focused on the loot that shot forth from the dead Rift Boss as he called all of it towards him. Shining brightly with a myriad of colors, the names of multiple things appeared in front of him. [World Rank Core], [Aether Law Crystal], [Chaos LAw Crystal], [Unique Skill Book- Fate Scryer], [Dao Crystal of Destruction¡­ ¡­! Noah''s eyes opened sharply when he came upon the name of the treasure that looked like an enormous obsidian crystal that shot out pulsing dark light! It was this. It was this that he had only read concepts of when he sat on hisputer after school every night, the concept of something he only knew as the Dao! Something that superseded the power ofws, a concept that focused on the extremes of an aspect of existence as any being capable ofprehending and assimting aw into them was bound to be someone of immense power. And now¡­ THRUM! Noah put aside the wondrous looking [Unique Skill Book] and even the [WORLD Rank Cores that should be able to push him from the Soul Realm and into the world Realm, his hands just grasping onto the glimmering dark crystal that shone menacingly. Truth be told, even Noah was surprised at the level of speed he was getting things that he considered to be pristine loot that would only appear after years passed with someone rising in power! He had only finishedprehending multiple Universal Laws during this trip as aside from Aether, he was able to have Life, Darkness, and Light both hit the 100% cap forprehension as they were currently in the process of Assimtion. So he just began assimtingws, and now he already had gotten his hands on something like a [Dao Crystal of Destruction] that would open an even grander path for him! This caused Noah to think deeply about the System that made this all possible, his thoughts now fully heading towards the direction of trying to understand the mysteriousness of the Idle Gaming System. Why was such a thing granted to him? Was an existence responsible for it? What were all of these nes he was getting sent to when he utilized the features of the System like the Infinite Crucible, Tower of Champions, and now the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne? The mystery behind his Units and how he could easily fuse them with the loot he obtained through the System?... There seemed to be endless questions with no answers as Noah breathed out slowly. He would take it all one step at a time. Right now, it was the Dao Crystal in front of him! [Dao Crystal of Destruction] :: A Dao Crystal holding slivers of the essence of the Grand Dao of Destruction. Destruction is a path that only the disciplined existences capable of carrying out controlled carnage, this path even being able to lead to the Abstruse Cosmic Daos that stand above many supreme existences if one understands it enough. Absorption grants +.1% Comprehension in the Grand Dao of Destruction. "..." Noah was breathless at the description as even his 12 Units pooled in around him to look at this wondrous treasure with envious eyes. A Grand Dao! Noah didn''t fully know this yet, but the ranks of Daos were listed from Lesser, Grand, and Cosmic. Universal Laws were ranked from Normal to High Tier Laws, where others even went as far as making the distinction of High Tier Laws into Supreme of Ultimate Laws. The first set ofws that Noah learned...were actually High Tier Laws that could be considered Supreme or Ultimate Laws! Now, he was about to get his hands on a Concept of an Extreme, of a fantastical thing that was known as a Dao...and he directly skipped over the Lesser Stage and was about to grab on to a Grand Dao! RUMBLE! Noah could wait no longer. He closed his eyes as his hands fully wrapped around the obsidian crystal, essence that caused the very surroundings to shake beginning to pour out as it entered his body and went into his Origin. His body quivered slightly at the intrusion of the very Essence of Destruction that began to wrap around his Origin, this essence even causing the lines of Fate and Chaos particles within him to turn docile as it fully delved in and made his Origin its home! WAA! The absorption of the Dao Crystal was extremely fast, the color from it very quickly fading away as everything about it entered Noah''s Origin- the crystal itself disappearing into particles soon after. Noah opened his eyes a secondter as a dense streak of darkness shed from his blue eyes, his body beginning to vibrate with power as he circted his mana while calling upon the Grand Dao of Destruction! BZZZT! His surroundings shook at the mere pressure he released, Noah not being able to help as a smile appeared on his face. He reeled in the aura while looking at a new area that had appeared under his Status Panel. [Daos] :: Grand Dao of Destruction(.1)- +50% Increased Destruction Damage, +100% Resistance to All Laws and Daos, The Effects of [Disintegration], [Corruption], and [Withering] are applied to all attacks reinforced with the Dao of Destruction. Achievingplete Comprehension in the Dao allows one to birth a Domain of Destruction where all attacks are further enhanced by 5000%. Complete Assimtion of the Dao allows a being to be a Controller of the Dao, gaining an authority to utilize it at an unimaginable scale¡­ ¡­! A Dao! This was what Noah had just gotten his hands on! He could feel that his mental energies would be able to deal a crazy amount of damage as they were now enhanced by multiple High Tier Laws and even a Dao. To more urately assess his strength, he would need to do some testster as he understood just what it meant to have the essence of Destruction backing him. He had lost over 30 SOUL Ran Units just to grind down a WORLD Rank Rift Boss that could use a glimmer of Destruction, so he had great expectations for it! He then nced at the other Loot floating around him as he pulled in the Unique Skill book that enticed his mind from the hundreds of skill books he received every day. [Unique Skill Book- Fate Scryer] :: Grands the Unique Ability Fate Scryer that allows the user to more aptly look into their fate as the most optimal directions are shown to them. A must have ability for beginner Fate Traversers. "Hmm?" His blue eyes shed brightly as he absorbed the knowledge of the skill book right away, a skill appearing within his Status Panel as he utilized it right away! {Fate Scryer}! RUMBLE! He already knew what he should do just from his preliminary views on Fate and Chaos when he reachedpleteprehension, but a technique that was made precisely for it was not something he would deny. Lines of golden fate erupted from him as his surroundings became hazy, Noah''s consciousness being shown three golden lines and three dark lines leading to vastly different directions. When he gazed on the dark lines, he saw himself in istion as he did nothing but hide within his Ethereal Realm, the futures for these paths not being the best as it was either Death or something even more dreadful! Then there were the three golden paths. Glowing brightly and enticing him, he looked at the first. "Join the powers of the Sublunary ne and lead months of peace...limited growth over time but little conflict¡­" RUMBLE! Then onto the second golden path! "Be a Dimensional Ruler that stands against the powers of the Sublunary ne...arduous and would take quite some time, facing never ending waves of enemies¡­" Noah''s eyes shone ever so brighter as he gleaned information from the golden paths, his eyesnding on thest one as it shone the brightest at this time. "Work with those around me and even ept allies from the Sublunary ne for the fastest growth rate and even create the roadwork for a connection with the Empyrean ne¡­!" BZZZT! This golden path shone the brightest as the moment Noah finished looking into it, he was taken out of the mysterious state as the fate lines around him died down. His eyes shone with a clear blue luster as his mind was opened up to even more possibilities, his steps light and filled with purpose as he went towards the glimmering gold portal while cing his Units back in the Inventory. It was a truly fruitful Fate Treasure ne as the things he obtained within were simply too valuable, with him stepping out of it now havingprehended multiple Laws topletion as he even held a Dao with him! This wasn''t to mention the WORLD Rank Cores he was already starting to absorb that would catapult him into this rank at speeds other beings would only ever dream of. After all this....it was to fully step out of the Ethereal Realm as he began to explore the vast Sublunary ne he was in, a future that he didn''t fully understand waiting for him as it promised of greatness! Chapter 118 - Grasping Onto Destruction, Stepping Into The Sublunary Plane! II Coming out of the golden portal, Noah found himself not even in the Wave of the Infinite Crucible he left behind as he appeared within the Imperial Castle of the Ethereal Realm. He was sent all the way back to where he entered as this didn''t bother him, the rewards of the Crucible being considered negligiblepared to the fateful rewards he received in the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne! He was still absorbing the stupendous WORLD Rank Cores within his hands as he could feel the point where his soul had condescend beginning to change, a seed of something powerful blooming as he was currently experiencing the change where his Origin was solidifying into a seed of an illusory world. His soul had grown strong enough as it could now handle the process of forging a world seed, the very around him rumbling with strength as his aura gradually changed, transitioning from one rank to another! THRUM! Minutes passed as he focused on this process within the King''s Room of the Imperial Castle, his Origin vibrating powerfully soon after as...a seed of an illusory world fully bloomed within him. WAA! WORLD Rank! When Noah activated the crystallizing origin within him, a faint outline of an illusory world could be seen on his chest as it thrummed with immense power! He clenched his fist as the biggest measure of strength was the strength of his mind, sensing it roaring with power as he could wield the essence of multiplews and a single powerful Dao with it! His bright eyes opened as while he sensed the changes, he looked at his two Inherent Skills that were elevated yet again. ||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], [Remote Control], [Dominator''s Consciousness],? [Evolve|Devolve], [Spatial Puppet Master], and [Mind Guider] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Hive Mind] ... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission],[Field Master], [Ruler''s Emenation], [Telekic Constructs], and [Precognition] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Armament]... The two Inherent Skills rose in power in a short period of time as two new abilities were provided! When he stepped into the Soul Rank, he had obtained Spatial Puppet Master that allows him to teleport himself to his Subjugated''s position or vice versa, while we already know the results of Telekic Constructs as it enabled Noah to be capable of reinforcing his Units and make a stand against a Rift Boss a level higher who even held the essence of a Grand Dao. Now, the enhancement to the WORLD rank had given him the abilities [Precognition] and [Mind Guider]! Noah nced at this set of abilities as he reeled in the aura of his body. [Mind Guider] :: The strength of the submitted below the Mind Dominator is elevated as their mind and consciousness are elevated greatly. +1,000% to Attack, Physical Defense, Soul Defense, Mana and Health Regeneration, and Cast and Attack Speed. [Precognition] :: The strength of the Telekic Emperor is elevated to a great degree as the instinctive capability to preconceive what might happen in the future has bloomed. This ability allows for the observation of possible futures for up to a maximum of 5 seconds. It activates passively in the instance of danger and can also be cast actively. ¡­! A gorgeous set of skills! Mind Guider didn''t personally help him, but it had shocking implications as if he put in some effort to raise the strength of his Subjugated beings to SOUL or WORLD Rank, it meant he would have soldiers that would have a terrifying boost of +1,000% to many parameters. While Precognition was just an insane ability by itself, Noah imagining a scene of a deadly attack thundering towards him as he veered from it in thest second or simply dodged it entirely. "Powerful!" He rose up as he appreciated the new abilities, expectant to see what his third Inherent Skill would entail as he received one on the 25th Floor of the Tower of Champions, then the 50th floor, and he was currently on the 95th Floor as the 100th had the rewards of another Inherent Skill along with other abundant Loot! He had not delved into the 95th yet as Noah had to face a WORLD rank Rift Boss within it, and he had been at Soul Rank in the past few days so he didn''t want to risk his life when he knew in a matter of days as he collected more Universal Law crystals and elevated his strength, he would gradually be capable enough to clear it. The 100th floor most likely contained multiple WORLD Rak Rift Bosses as Noah nned to delve all the way there when he had elevated his Units from SOUL and into the WORLD Realm- then he would have a third Inherent Skill! "Alright, to step out of the Ethereal Realm¡­" Noah reeled in his explosive strength as he stepped out of the King''s Room, having many preparations to make before he stepped into the Sublunary Dimensional ne! --- The river of fate continued to flow while the sea of chaos churned, many beings moving for their own ideals across the Chaotic Universe. Hours passed as Noah made his preparations, only being ready after a whole day as many things were decided. One of these decisions was who woulde along on the journey of exploration, his sister with the Ice Queen Inherent Skill winning this chance as Rose chose to look over the Realm that her family had nearly failed in the past. At this moment, this silver haired girl was gradually changing to be a woman as she stood on the balcony of the Imperial Castle while staring towards the skies. Multiple PLATINUM Ranked Subjugated Blessed were behind her as they also looked up to the skies with fervent eyes! There, the figures of Noah and Annalise were floating silently, Noah''s mental essence already wrapping around their bodies before he turned his head towards Rose while nodding. A secondter, a spatial light wrapped around him and the being he extended his essence to, the two of them disappearing from the Ethereal Realm! "..." Rose stared at this scene wistfully as she waved her hands to call forth a myriad of tinum and Soul Cores that Noah left behind, these being just one among the many treasures this being had left behind before he left with his sister to explore the grand Sublunary ne. Her face steeled as a sharp light coursed through her eyes, voicing out strongly before she turned around. "Let''s get back to work!" THRUM! Like this, a single Ruler was left in the Ethereal Realm as two beings conducted an extremely long distance teleportation through the use of [Spatial Puppet Master]! --- When it came to preparations, Noah had actually gone overboard this time around as he was stepping out of the Ethereal Realm while his strength was in the upper ranks of power of the beings within the Sublunary Dimensional ne. He didn''t go the route he''d read about so much of transmigrated beings facing waves of small enemies that progressively got powerful, where he skipped past the ranks of beings like Drax who were Low Ranking Realm Overseers, went ahead to exceed the strength of High Ranking Realm Overseers, and he now stood on the same level of power as the Dimensional Rulers of this Dimension! He could now step out to carefully explore and obtain the wondrous Dimensional Rifts waiting for him within this ne. The Rifts containing High Tier Laws to allow him to quickly obtain droves of Universal Crystal and achieve 100% Assimtion inws were his primary target. 1,000 Universal Law Crystals were required for one to fully Comprehend a Universal Law, but for one to fully assimte thews...they had to obtain 10 times that amount as they would only receive a .01% every time they absorbed a Law Crystalpared to the .1% when they were undergoing the process ofprehension. So Noah had to get his hands on 10,000 Universal Law Crystals for each Law! An arduous task, but one that would be made easy and simple with the Idle Gaming System! RUMBLE! Noah was knocked out of his thoughts as the spatial light around him and Annalise intensified, their two figures finallying out of the spatial tunnel as they appeared in the starry space far away from the Ethereal Realm. "Sheesh¡­" Noah sensed his man reserves as he found they were more than halfway drained from this single spatial jump, his eyes on the Subjugated Low Ranking Overseer Drax floating in front of them with a look of respect as he kneed in the glimmering void of space a secondter, his voiceing out clearly! "Wee to the Brightmoon Realm Cluster, Master." WAA! A golden light of fate shone from Noah''s eyes as he nodded, having stepped out of the Ethereal Realm to fully explore the Sublunary Dimensional ne as he appeared within the Brightmoon Realm Cluster as his first destination. Here, many wonderful Dimensional Rifts were waiting for him! Chapter 119 - The Primal Dimensional Rulers! I When Noah appeared in the bounds of the Brightmoon Realm Cluster, his eyes had shed with a golden light of fate as he sensed some things. He wasn''t the only one to sense it as in multiple directions, a few other beings proficient in Fate and Chaos also felt some changes in the river of fate and the sea of chaos! They felt that as of this moment in time, an action was taken as something had begun! Among all the beings that sensed these changes, there was one particr one worthy of noting- the curvaceous Dimensional Ruler that wasst mentioned swimming in a Realm that was filled with a chaotic sea, a Dimensional Ruler that had already fully assimted the Law of Chaos as she was currently infinitely close to sensing the path of the Dao above it. She was much more receptive to Chaos, and she was also chasing the same thing that Noah had actually just received, so she was the only one who got more than a notification that something had started! She actually got a rough location of the thing she was searching for the most to be in a certain direction! Noah didn''t know any of this yet as he just nodded to the bowing Drax while they began to float towards the Brightmoon Real Cluster that wasn''t too far away from them. "Master, I have specialized times prepared for you to delve into all Diamond Rifts and above, as well as the two Elemental Dimensional Rifts within this cluster." Drax was speaking fawningly as he had made everything ready for Noah, this blessed feeling an immense boost to his power not too long ago when Noah gained the [Mind Guider] ability that smashed the boosts of +1,000% to a lot of the parameters of power of all Subjugated. He looked towards his Master with even more fervor after this as his journey into the Sublunary ne would be just a vacation tour where he delved into Rifts if everything remained like so! Noah gave a light nod at Drax''s words as he pulled his sister forward while gazing at the cluster of stars before them, as well as the hidden Realms they would soon be able to enter. His sister- the Ice Queen''s figure was unconsciously letting out a chilling light as her Inherent Skill made her seem like an untouchable beauty, but as she looked at the nk darkness around the starry space, she edged closer to her brother unconsciously for protection even though she was standing powerfully at the SOUL Rank after Noah pumped her with the cores from the loot of the Incandescent Chaos Bearer. Noah turned towards her at this time as he spoke. "Why don''t we check out the two Elemental Dimensional Rifts first so we can get that out of the way quickly, then we can go sightseeing and enjoy some food." "Un." The Ice Queen replied lightly as Noah talked of dangerous Rifts passively, Annalise feeling much more at ease with his words and agreed! Drax then followed his job dutifully as he went forward while introducing everything they wereing across. This was more so for Annalise, Noah already having all the memories of Drax as he knew this ce just as well as the locals! The names of thes within the Brightmoon Cluster that they had never seen before, the names of the Realms hidden in the folds of space around these worlds¡­ A tour was being given as even with Noah''s memories of this ce, he still stared at the gigantic image of a far from them as they came to stop in the starry space. With his robust mental strength, he could sense the auras of billions of creatures within this alone as the others around them within this Brightmoon Realm Cluster felt the same! They came to a stop as right in front of them, there was a marker that identified a hidden Realm as glistening white steps were molded to lead towards its entrance in space, Drax speaking out as they went forward. "The nearby space is clear as you''d only find some passing Realm Overseers in the PLATINUM Rank and above passing across the space of Realm Clusters like these. For now, Master can start with the Diamond Rank Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift within this zing Realm #6245!" With only a few steps, they arrived at the end of the white steps in space as Noah sensed the entrance of another Realm, this being the second one he woulde across as he and the two figures around him entered the Realm an instantter. THRUM! They were swept with a spatial light as they soon appeared within the skies of the crimson Realm! It really seemed crimson all around as the heat was intense- being enough to suffocate normal humans within seconds as it only felt like a slightly hot wind to Noah and Annalise. This was a Realm that held a unique race of beings living within it, this race being in tune with the heat of the Realm as they even thrived in it! Noah could sense their numbers at around 3 billion as they moved around in the earth below, his eyes being able to discern location where many structures spread out for hundreds of miles as they made up entire Kingdoms and Empires within this Realm that was currently subjugated under the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. There were tens of Diamond ranked experts that he could sense moving within this Realm, all of these experts being given amand by Drax to note near the Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift for the next half an hour today as Noah didn''t n on wasting too much time messing around with others! No such things mattered to Noah at this moment as their figures moved through the skies and went towards a certain volcanic mountain that rose like a peak within this Realm. This was where the DIAMOND Rank Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rifty, the three of them soon arriving above the scorching peak of the volcano as a huge red Rift Portal pulsating with the power of the Law of Firey in front of them! Annalise''s body that was surrounded by ice glimmered as this girl at the SOUL Rank was about to go all out in this Rift that was 2 levels lower than her Realm as she finally got to a point where she thought she could be of help to her brother, giving something back after he had given her so much! Her mind buzzed as she looked forward to it, her figure being the first to shoot into the Rift as Noah followed behind her and Drax with a light smile. The Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift was just like it stated in its title- Noah finding himself appeared on the scorched earth that was elevating towards a zing volcano in front of him, 3 of such Volcanic Peaks being present in this Dimensional Rift as it represented 3 Diamond Rank Rift Bosses! To Noah, this seemed like such a minuscule force, but he still summoned all 12 of his Units while giving amand. "Let''s go for a clear time of less than 5 minutes, why don''t we?" ¡­ RUMBLE! The 12 Soul Rank Units divided and rushed towards the three Volcanic Peaks with fervor, the glistening white image of Annalise shooting alongside them in one direction being seen as the Ice Queen was ready to freeze entire mountains just to give some aid to her brother that ced everything on his shoulders! 12 Soul Rank Units, a WORLD Rank Noah, and an eager Ice Queen¡­.the result for the 3 Diamond Rank Rift Bosses of this Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift was purely disastrous. [The Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] ¡­! In 4 minutes, the Bosses and normal Units were ripped apart as Noah added his second Elemental Dimensional Rift in Idle Mode! It was a Rift of the Fire Element, aw he hadn''t yet stepped on but he would now get close to 20% on it each passing day with the Rift in Idle Mode. This was because it could be cleared automatically for nearly 400 times every 24 hours, where with the 50% chance for a Universal Law Crystal to drop- which might be even higher with this lesserw, Noah could gain around 200 Fire Law Crystals every day. He could ridiculouslyprehend nearly one fourth of a Universal Law in a single day, and this number would explosively edge upwards as he added more and more high tier Rifts! THRUM! A spatial light emanated out as after they came out of the Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift, they left the zing Realm with Noah eager to go towards the next Elemental Dimensional Rift. But the moment the three of them stepped out of the zing Realm¡­ "Oh? Drax, I didn''t expect to see you escorting anyone with such a look!" WAA! Not too far from them, 2 beings emanating strong waves of power at the peak of PLATINUM spoke with a derisive tone towards Drax while ncing at Noah and Annalise! They only saw beings releasing an aura at the stage of PLATINUM, Noah and Annalise not releasing their full shocking auras of their true Realms as they didn''t want to draw attention to anyone that happened to see them. But the newly appearing beings¡­ "Overseers Charles and Richard!" Drax spoke out with a tone of annoyance as he saw these two beings turning their eyes towards Annalise, giving this Ice Queen lecherous eyes for her beauty as it seemed something was about to happen! But¡­ [Ruler''s Emenation]. RUMBLE Noah called out lightly with an impassive expression as a horrendous pressure released from him! The stupendous skill others called Haki barreled out in droves as it carried with it the essence of many high tier Universal Laws, along with the essence of the Grand Dao of Destruction as the moment it reached the unsuspecting minds of the two Realm Overseers that somehow just happened to be passing by the Brightmoon Realm Cluster, they trembled briefly before they slumped unconscious in the Dark void of space. ¡­! Noah had made too many preparations to be hindered for even a minute, the moment that two Overseers arrived....he knocked them out with sheer power as his fingers already motioned to their bodies to be called forward, preparing to increase the number of Subjugated elite beings! Chapter 120 - The Primal Dimensional Rulers! II Two enemies had appeared as the next script to y out would be a huge battle, but Noah just knocked out his enemies as a few minutester, two Low Ranking Realm Overseers woke up from their stupor to find their minds bound to another being! "Master!" "Master!" Two Low Ranking Realm Overseers in addition to Drax bowed to Noah, Annalise looking at this scene while shaking her head incredulously as even now she wasn''t used to Noah''s abilities. "Each of you oversees 4 Star Systems with a total of 7 Elemental Dimensional Rifts?" Noah was concurrently reading their memories while talking to them, finding out that simr simr Drax, these two Overseers had their own systems to look out for, and it meant 14 additional Elemental Dimensional Rifts for him! The two of them passed through Drax''s jurisdiction as it was amon thing for Low Ranking Realm Overseers to fight and meddle over each other as if any of them fell out of favor with the higher ups of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, those around would be the ones to benefit as they inherit everything. The two of them had moles nted throughout thes and Realms that Drax controlled, and a few of them reported the odd behavior of Blessed around the Volcanic Continent Dimensional Rift being told to steer clear of the Rift for a certain hour today, and it was what brought them here! Yet instead of causing trouble, they merely fell into Noah''s hands as he just blinked towards them to release a horrifying mental pressure that defeated them right after. The Elemental Dimensional Rifts Noah would have had ess to that were under Drax''s care were just 5, but he now held an additional 15l4 he would add after he finished going through the Star and Realm Systems that Drax controlled! "Good! The two of you head back to your jurisdictions, I''lle over there in a day or two after I''m done here." He voiced outmandingly as the two Subjugated Overseers nodded, their figures shing away as Noah turned to Drax who understood with a look, this being beginning to lead them to the second Elemental Dimensional Rift that was within the Brightmoon Realm Cluster. It was a truly fantastical sight toe across as never in his wildest dreams would Noah have expected to be able to traverse the void of space looking at glimmering stars and entering spatial folds leading to hidden Realms that were even bigger than worlds. In his past life, it was an impossibility for amon person like him to even dream of going to space on a huge ship, where unless one knew a few entric billionaires who were shooting dick-shaped rockets into space before Noah died and transmigrated, the remaining beings would forever remain anchored to the earth! Yet...here he was withstanding the terrifying pressure of space with his own body as wondrous waves of energy coursed through him. His mind was even more vibrant as with his Inherent Skills, his strongest power was his mind as with a mere look of his shimmering blue eyes, Beasts of lower Rank than him would have their souls crushed with a mere cast of Ruler''s Emanation! With such power, Noah treated his exploration of the Brightmoon Realm Cluster as a mere vacation as he enjoyed the sights with his little sister of this new life. The eyes of the holder of the Ice Queen Inherent Skill would light up every time they crossed through new stars or Realms, her power also showing itself in full when they delved into the second Elemental Dimensional Rift that was called [Ice Age]. Another Diamond Ranked Elemental Rift that dropped Universal Crystals of the Law of Ice, a lesser ranked subtype Law that stemmed from the Law of Water! This Rift was cleared at around 4 minutes- same as the first Rift as within this Realm System that Drax oversaw, Noah only had the task of adding the remaining Diamond and 3 normal PLATINUM Rank Dimensional Rift within this Brightmoon Realm Cluster before he would go on to the other 2 Realm and Star Clusters to add 3 more Elemental Rifts and a myriad of normal Rifts. After that, he would go on the Realm and Star Clusters of the two Overseers he just subjugated as in a matter of days, he would have multiple sources of Universal Law Crystals as he would gain a ridiculous amount of boosts from eachw, his power rising to horrendous levels as his capability to fight across Realms based purely on his ridiculous Boosts might be aplete reality! After that¡­ "I''ll have to delve deeper into the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers¡­" Yes! After all this, Noah would have to stretch his influence across the Realm Overseers working under the Faction of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. "I can lead you to the High Ranking Overseer that looks over the Misty Void Quadrant we''re all in, Master. After that, you should be able to easily starting in contact with High Ranking Overseers andter on...even the Dimensional Rulers of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers!" RUMBLE! Even Drax proactivelyid out possible ns for his master as Noah smiled with a nod, a clear path gradually forming in his mind as the three of them left the Realm where they cleared the Ice Age Dimensional Rift so that Noah could go across the Diamond and PLATINUM Rifts of the Brightmoon Realm Cluster. But...this was when Noah''s face drastically changed as Annalise''s became ashen, Drax stepping in front of them protectively as they sensed a horrendous aura of a being near the entrance of the Realm they just left! A being not at the rank of tinum or Soul...or even the WORLD Rank that Noah was currently in! "Ohe on¡­" Words of frustration left his mouth as Noah''s eyes pulsed with immense colors of gold and dark lights as he utilized thews of Fate and Chaos while looking at the being that was curiously looking at them. It was a girl that looked no older than 18, her figure looking extremely young and naive...but her body carried with it immense power and might that even caused the surrounding space to shake! Noah had no knowledge of this, but this being was the Dimensional Ruler from the Keepers of Order and Fate that was the only one to actually get a direction of his location apart from all the Dimensional Rulers that sensed the changes the moment that he stepped into the Sublunary Dimensional ne. The Dimensional Ruler that found him first...was actually not among those that were searching to nip him in the bud as a threat, but it was the Dimensional Ruler that had entirely assimted Chaos as she was close to sensing the path of a Dao...the Sea of chaos leading her to Noah at this moment as he seemed like the answer! This was because among all the creatures in the Sublunary ne, only Noah had been the one to grasp onto the Dao of Destruction at this point in time. All those that preceded him in the eons past had long since ascended to the Empyrean ne as he could be considered the pioneer of this Dao in this age. As a pioneer...he drew in the only other being that was searching for this Dao as well! "This is certainly interesting...you''re the thing that got everyone''s panties in a bunch?" Her voice rang out clearly as at this time, Noah had finished confirming his path with [Fate Scryer]. It had told him that stepping out was the best path for him, and even this tremendously powerful being in front of him that actually stood in the Realm above him at STAR Rank...Fate still told him his path was golden as it was even going in the best possible direction! This meant that his life was not currently on the line. But...who exactly was this being, and what did she want if fate told him it was not to harm? THRUM! The figure of the curvaceous woman then began to vibrate with power in the next second, her fair hand waving beside her as a dark portal ripped apart the void of space. She held an aplished smile as she looked towards Noah and spoke inly. "My entrance into this quadrant has notified the old fogeys of the Primal Dimensional Rulers as they''ll soone to check what brought me here. I''m not so sure what they''ll do when they realize they''ve found the existence they have begun looking for all this time...so why don''t youe with me for now?" ¡­! The glimmers of fate shone brightly in Noah''s eyes as he confirmed some things with [Fate Scryer]. "5 seconds." The curvaceous woman called out lightly as a mischievous smile could be seen on her face, as if it was of no consequence what would happen in the next few seconds! Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he grabbed Annalise''s hand a secondter, their figure shooting towards the pulsing dark portal and diving into it as the curvaceous woman smiled brightly, waving her hands towards Drax as she disappeared into the portal an instantter! Chapter 121 - The Ones Sent Down To The Sublunary Plane For A Test! As soon as Noah and Annalise''s figures disappeared in the pulsing portal followed by the powerful figure, it disappeared right after as the only one left behind was Drax! THRUM! Secondster, multiple auras of powerful Dimensional Rulers descended in the nearby space as their eyes locked towards Drax and the location around him, their booming voicesing out in turns. "Overseer, what happened here?" WAA! A feeling of immense power and strength emanated from multiple newly arriving beings as Drax fell on his knees with a face full of respect, putting on an act as he repeated what Noah was telling him to say at this same moment! "Esteemed Sirs, a terrifying figure just passed through here, I¡­" Drax yed his role perfectly as an innocent Overseer, the Primal Dimensional Rulers that had sensed the aura of an existence at the Star Rank that had intentionally passed through their domain not being able to find out any information about it. ---- Meanwhile, Noah and Annalise were funneled through space for the second time today as they found themselves appearing in a unique location, a dark sea all around them as its waves rolled around chaotically. They appeared above a small piece ofndmass floating peacefully within this Chaotic sea, Noah''s eyes shining brightly as hisprehension in the Law of Chaos allowed him to see a unique formation of chaos particles around this area that caused calmness to appear around it while in the midst of a chaotic sea! "Interesting, isn''t it?" The enticing voice of the powerful Dimensional Ruler that had brought them here vibrated in their ears as Noah and Annalise looked up to see her standing with a triumphant expression in the skies behind them. "Very interesting, but still not more interesting than hearing why a Dimensional Ruler of the Sublunary ne brought nobodies like us here!" RUMBLE Noah spoke out calmly while getting ready to use [Spatial Puppet Master] at any moment, his hands grasping around Annalise as the moment that he sensed any changes in the river of Fate or the Sea of Chaos, he would make a break for it. "Nobodies? Nobodies?! Ha!" Her voice was vibrant as her demeanor carried everything forward, her small figure shooting into the castle that swayed gently amidst a chaotic sea as she beckoned for Noah and Annalise to follow! "I wouldn''t make a move for nobodies, especially if its beings that are special enough to have the river of fate and the sea of Chaos roiling for them." ¡­! Noah''s eyes turned into slits at these words as the three of them came to stand on the exquisite entrance of the Castle that held a small garden, the figure dressed d in ck turning to look towards them as her features became extremely clear. Hair even darker and more lustrous than the dress she wore, with eyes seeming like two abyssal ck spots that drew in everything. Her face held enticing features that would unconsciously draw in weak men, this being smiling brightly at Noah as she spoke once more. "I brought you here after sensing your location...because I think you''ve got it." ¡­! Her gaze was intense as it focused on Noah, continuing to speak thereafter as it gave Noah more information to work with! "You''ve somehow found the path that even evades me, the path above the Law of Chaos that steps on to the stage of Daos!" RUMBLE! She revealed how she found him as Noah''s gaze locked onto her, confirming with his proficiency in the Laws of Fate and Chaos that this being truly didn''t represent danger! So was it...an opportunity? Seeing Noah''s look, the being d in ck bowed as she introduced herself. "The name is Catherine, my dear visitors. It might be easier for me to begin by telling you a story." She began skipping around the castle cheerfully as if she wasn''t a terrifying being at the STAR Rank who coulde upon aary body and shatter it with a single punch! Noah patted Annalise to calm her nerves as he looked at her deeply and affirmed they weren''t in danger, keeping pace with the existence before as he nodded to agree to listen to her story. "You see, I wasn''t born in this Sublunary ne, and I''m actually someone that descended from the Empyrean ne above this..." ¡­! Yes! The Dimensional Ruler known as Catherine who was among the powerful figures of the faction of the Keepers of Order and Fate was someone that wasn''t originally from this ne! "As for the reason why I''m here, it is because I was given a test! A test from a powerful Ascended Conve in the impossibly vast Empyrean ne where I was sent down here and given 1,000 years toprehend and assimte specificws while alsoprehending a Dao!" RUMBLE! The eyes of Noah and Annalise opened wide as they heard this, the figure of Catherine seeing their surprise as she seemed excited to capture their attention like this and became even more cheerful. "Many of the Dimensional Rulers you wille across from the faction in our Sublunary ne are the blood of Ascended or the Disciples of Ascended Conves, with us being the unlucky group sent to a Lower ne that has much less atmospheric and universalws essence in the surroundings for our trials." "My trial is nearlyplete, and one of the crucial points that I need is toprehend a Dao! Lesser or Grand doesn''t matter, just any Dao. And this, my dear friend...is where youe in." Her gaze was bright as she walked around Noah and stood just inches away from him, their figures being extremely clear in the night as it prompted Annalise toe between them, this Ice Queen voicing out for the first time! "What does yourprehension of a Dao have to do with him?" THRUM! Catherine locked eyes with Annalise as she still held a yful expression, pulling back from the two of them as she replied. "I don''t know how, but you''ve ridiculously grasped the Dao of Destruction while in such a low Realm...and I can even sense multiple fullyprehendedws from you that would put the Disciples of the many Ascended Conves to shame. I won''t ask something of you without offering you benefits, so I''ll naturally offer you something exquisite in return." Her obsidian eyes shone brightly with her words as they turned to the chaotic seas around the peaceful castle they were on, keeping the pace of the conversation as she continued. "Let me give you a bit of a structure when ites to the factions currently present in the Sublunary Dimensional ne, as well as how things are for the Empyrean ne above us¡­" Catherine began weaving out a story that vastly expanded what Noah and Annalise knew of the grand Chaotic Universe they were in. For the factions in the Sublunary ne and mainly the Empyrean ne, one of the core things that power revolved around was of course...Dimensional Rifts and the resources they provide! It was always dimensional Rifts, and their importance was further elevated in the Empyrean ne as if a being controlled a truly rare and Unique Dimensional Rift that provided a type of Loot everyone was in need of- you held power! Of course, you had to have enough power to locate such a Rift and keep it as yours, or be hidden over the years as you collect loot from Rare Rifts alone that you can then use the resources of to elevate your strength. The Ascended Conves of the Empyrean ne were some of the most powerful groups that controlled the flow of loot and resources, where they were more like powerful businessmen controlling the flow of resources than powerful existences chasing for immense power! Their power came as a consequence of their positions, where Ascended Conves in the Empyrean nes used Universal Law Crystals and Cores as amon currency- and the richer that someone was, the more powerful they were. "It''s a truly wondrous environment where if you are rich and have ess to resources others don''t, the level of power and influence you could reach is something unimaginable. When ites to beings that gain ess to rare Dimensional Rifts that can even drop the Loot of Dao Crystals...those are the truly powerful beings that can arise from nothing and into a ruling force that could even shake established Ascended Conves¡­" She said these words as her eyes locked with Noah, seemingly hinting that he was one of these beings! That he was one of the rare existences that had somehow managed to impossibly find a Dimensional Rift capable of giving Dao Crystals, and he was somehow able to obtain it as such a low realm! It had to mean he found a truly unique boon as Catherine wondered what it could be. "I''m connected to a fairly big Ascended Conve in the Empyrean Realm, if you can help me achieve initialprehension in the Dao of Destruction...I will connect you to them and even help you in keeping whatever unique Rift you''ve located yours. I can even keep you a secret as if you truly found a Rift where you can easily obtain Dao Crystals, I can be the one to help you trade them for other Dao Crystals or for hundreds of Universal Law Crystals to help youprehend and Assimte multiplews in days!" RUMBLE! With the correct resources and loot, anything was possible as a being could be a tycoon and gain immense power! The Dimensional Ruler with lustrous dark hair and a tight fitting dress smiled brightly as she stretched out her hand towards Noah, extending a connection that would be the cause of the drastic change of power in even the most powerful Ascended Conves in the Empyrean Dimensional ne, and even the untouchable existences in the mysterious Celestial Dimensional ne! Chapter 122 - You Can Buy Anything! Many of the Dimensional Rulers in the Sublunary ne being descendants or disciples of big organizations sent down to home themselves in lower Realms! The resources of Universal Law Crystals and Dao Crystals being the currency that moved everything, and those lucky enough to have easy ess to them or the power to obtain them were some of the most powerful beings¡­ Noah repeated these words over and over again in his mind as he turned to look at the ck haired girl in front of him. Catherine. A Dimensional Ruler at the STAR Rank, havingprehended a myriad ofws as all he wanted now was to simply touch the boundary of the Dao! She represented a connection to arge Conve in the Empyrean Dimensional ne above them as it could mean abundant opportunities. Was this one of the reasons Fate motioned for him to step out of the hidden Ethereal Realm? His thoughts buzzed with activity as he considered the words of the Dimensional Ruler and what he should do. Annalise sped his hands tightly as she looked at her brother with eyes of love. Finally, Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he spoke for the first time in a while. He chose to listen to the lines of fate trembling around him as he took the first step forward! "You are right that I did find an opportunity that granted me a Dao Crystal...but it is actually something due to chance. I''m not sure when I''ll be able to get it again- it could be in days or weeks." RUMBLE! With calm eyes filled with confidence, he voiced out some of the truth as he really could not get a Dao Crystal anytime he wished. All of it depended on whether he coulde across a Fate Spirit again for him to enter the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne, or he had to see whether him reaching really high floors of the Tower of Champions and Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts would hold such type of loot. With the progression of things, he expected this type of loot to actually pop up as rewards- he just didn''t know when! Catherine''s eyes shone brightly at his words as she didn''t reply until a secondter. "Well, there are also cruder ways to go about it at the same time...and that''s for me to be exposed to the essence of this Dao multiple times to see if my genius is enough to pick it up without even using Dao Crystals!" ¡­! She grinned brightly while saying this, Noah''s eyes squinting as he waved his right hand and pumped his mana forward, stimting the wondrous Dao within his Origin as its essence very soon appeared atop his palm. BZZZT! It caused the surroundings to tremble as a majestic feeling began to permeate, the essence of Destruction being called forth as Catherine looked towards it like the most enticing thing in the world! Noah''s eyes shone sharply as he spoke while sensing his rapidly draining mana to keep the show of power active. "What do we get in return?" ..! Yes! What would Catherine actually give in return for something so valuable? The Dimensional Ruler came out of her stupor while staring at the essence of Destruction she had sought for long as even with her loss ofposure, the aura of an expert still radiated from her as she spoke. "The old fogeys and Disciples of three Conves have sensed a changeing in the Sublunary ne, with the center of this change pointing to you as they are hunting you down!" "My Master doesn''te from any of the three Conves that the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, the Keepers of Order and Fate, and the Devoted Rulers stem from. I have no connection to them as the Conve my Master is a part of rarely sends its disciples to lower nes- it''s just my Master being entric and wanting to give me a hard time." Her expression turned to that of annoyance as she spoke, Noah listening intently as he absorbed all the information he could. "So I don''t really care what thendscape of the Sublunary ne bes or who is the ruling force...in exchange for what I want, I can aid you against your conflicts with the three Factions, and I can also introduce you to my Master after I obtain the Dao of Destruction!" RUMBLE! Her eyes zed with an intense light as she said this, a light of confidence bouncing off of her as she spoke with surety. "That is the biggest boon, as you will be connected to one of the most ancient powers of the Empyrean ne and even...the Celestial ne." ¡­! "The conditions for other Disciples for their trials when they are sent down to Lower nes or Abyssal nes is to assimte a certain amount ofws or at mostprehend a Lesser Dao. But the condition for me is toprehend a Grand Dao! This is the type of quality and strength that the power my Master is from seeks, and with you havingpleted the contents of my trial...you''d dly be taken into the folds of Master''s Conve as you have a golden pathid out for you from this ne all the way to the Highest Celestial ne." "..." Noah''s expression was calm as his heart shook, ncing at Annalise as his little sister was only looking at Catherine carefully- seemingly trying to find anything with her intuition on whether this girl wanted to hurt her brother! Noah had a thoughtful expression after listening to Catherine, giving a light nod as he asked about something else he was curious about. "You mentioned the currency of Universal Law Crystals, Cores, and even Dao Crystals...how do you easily trade and batter for this?" Yes! He wanted to know more about the subject he thought he could dominate in- the subject of Loot! He currently held an overabundance in Diamond and PLATINUM Ckres after collecting the mountains of them from the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne, and he also had ess to the Dimensional Store where he could buy many things that others could only dream of. With his Idle Gaming System, he saw himself as a one man Conve that could produce a shocking amount of resources after he obtained multiple Elemental Dimensional Rifts. If Universal Law Crystals were a currency and he could even trade them for Dao Crystals, it created for a possible future where he could grow to a terrifying stage just with his wealth alone! And who was more wealthy than a being that could be idle while resources came to him daily? Seeing the talks going in the right direction, Catherine smiled brightly as she replied. "If you are wealthy enough, you can buy anything. Rare Dimensional Treasures, Dao Crystals, Universal Treasures...even unique existences! You can buy entire Star or Realm Clusters if ever you be a big boss, but for now...I can give you ess to the resources of the factions currently moving in the Sublunary ne." "If things seed and I obtain understanding in the essence of Destruction, I''ll then connect you to my Master as you as you''ll have the same ess and connection like me to the Empyrean ne!" A clear path wasid out for him as Noah nodded with bright eyes. He looked at the girl emitting horrendous waves of power from her small body as after enough deliberation, he took a step forward while stretching out his right hand. "Then...I look forward to working with you, Catherine." RUMBLE Unseen waves of fate and Chaos began to roll around as Noah extended his hand, Catherine smiling brightly as she had an expression of someone who got what they wanted, her fair hand reaching out as well! "The existence that is? bound to shake the power structure of the Sublunary ne, you''re truly a curious case¡­" She tilted her head as if she was asking for something, her sping onto Noah as they affirmed their agreement while Noah spoke. "It''s Noah. Noah Eckert." RUMBLE! "Very well. Here''s to ne changing alliances and mutual benefits!" The hands of the two beings sped tightly, an agreement being made in a small Chaotic Realm as the only one to witness it was Annalise Eckert. A simple agreement, but it held boundless consequences. "Hahae,e! We must celebrate!" Catherine seemed to forget her demeanor as a powerful expert as she turned towards Annalise, grasping onto her hand and pulling her forward as she continued. "This is your little girlfriend or sister¡­" Catherine moved at her own pace as she led them into the calm castle floating peacefully amidst a chaotic sea, not knowing what storm she just caused as in therger Sublunary ne, the eyes of a few Dimensional Rulers bing grim as they sensed new changes in the river of fate and sea of chaos. They sensed an even more arduous path in front of them as their enemy had inexplicably be much, much stronger! Chapter 123 - Overwhelming Strength! I Time passed as the Sea of Chaos churned. Noah currently stood on the balcony of the peaceful castle surrounded by the chaotic sea, the dark waves making him think of an unknown future as at this time, he could only take it step by step. The night had passed as he and Annalise were forced to eat and drink by a certain powerful being, Annalise being knocked out long ago as only Noah remained. Behind him, the steps of the entric Dimensional Ruler sounded as Catherine came to stand beside him soon after, her face cid as they stared at the same chaotic sea with many differing thoughts! Noah spoke up lightly first. "I wish to delve into all of the Elemental Dimensional Rifts and any tinum and higher ranked Rifts present in the Sublunary ne. If I could get your help with this¡­" Noah wanted to make his life even easier as he turned towards Catherine and spoke, the girl turning towards him with her head tilted to the aide as she nodded without asking too much. "There''s a rare WORLD Rank Chaos Element Dimensional Rift within this Realm called the Labyrinth of Chaos that I''ve delved in over the years to obtain enough Chaos Crystals until I assimted thew fully, we can dive in there and a few other Rifts within this Realm that match your specifications!" ¡­! "I''ll also get to see your usage of the Dao of Destruction first hand before we spar¡­" Her face held a devilish smile as she sail this, Noah only nodding lightly as he heard the steps of a groggy Annalisee up soon after. After everything was ready, these three being set off from the calm castle floating peacefully in the chaotic sea as they flew towards a certain region at high speeds! The sea around them churned dangerously as Noah only watched its enticing beauty, following Catherine''s lead as they flew across a few miles of sea before they soon came across a pulsating ck portal that was half-submerged in the chaotic sea. The rough waters smashed into it constantly as it forever remained stable, Catherine motioning to them to follow as she delved into it a secondter! This would be the first WORLD Rank Rift that Noah had ever descended in, and one that was a Chaos Elemental one at that as his heart was filled with expectations! The Elemental Rifts he cleared before were only at the Diamond Rank as with their clear time, he could obtain 20% of a Universal Law from the Loot resources every day. But this Labyrinth of Chaos was an Elemental Rift three levels higher, and he wondered how extravagant its loot would be! No matter how expensive and dangerous it was though, he was entering it with a Dimensional Ruler at the STAR Rank that had delved into it for many years as she knew it like the back of her hand, and he himself was in the WORLD Rank as the only Annalise was a level lower than the Rift at SOUL. Just how vast and numerous the resources of such a Rift would be? Noah would get a chance to find out soon after as he appeared in the starry space of the Labyrinth of Chaos. That''s right- space! The name said Labyrinth but¡­ "I''m not sure what level of Rifts you have entered before, but some of them expand to be vast challenges as the one for the Labyrinth of Chaos...it is to clear the Worlds below us of all Chaos Dimensional Beasts" ¡­! Noah''s eyes constricted as he looked around him, seeing 3ary bodies floating peacefully below them as the auras of powerful Beasts could be felt from each of them! They had to actually defeat Dimensional Beasts from three genuine worlds for a Rift at the WORLD Rank, Noah''s eyes zing with excitement when he thought of the possible rate of Universal Law Crystal collection from such a high level Rift. He looked at the nearest World around them as his figure shot down towards it, Annalise and Catherine following him down as he passed through the thin boundary of the world and descended to its dark skies soon after, his eyesnding on its surface as he saw dark mountainous valleys rolling around- each of them filled with the figures of powerful Beasts in the millions as the aura of SOUL Rank mobs permeated while he felt the powerful auras of multiple WORLD Rank Rift Bosses dangerously spread out across the regions of this world! RUMBLE! Essence erupted from him as with a gaze of excitement, he called forth his 12 Units that were all still at the SOUL Rank, his eyes shing brightly as he cast [Telekic Constructs] to allow Incandescent blue ck armor to surround each of their bodies protectively. They might not be able to single handedly face the powerful WORLD Rank Rift Bosses on their own, but they could stand against them and even defeat them with Noah''s powerful reinforcements! This was because the mental essence he released while casting [Telekic Constructs] even caused the brows of Catherine to rise, this Dimensional Ruler seeing the essence of Destruction that she sought for releasing with this wave of essence among many Universal Laws. She nodded thoughtfully as after the Units were fully armored, they spread out across the regions of the World to begin decimating the Beasts within as Noah went towards the aura of one of its Rift Bosses near their position. ROAAAR! A bellow of a terrifying creature could be heard soon after as from the peak of a dark mountain, an oversized beast pped its wings and rose, Noah getting to see it clearly as an enormous bat with wide spanning wings came up before them! On its chest, a beautiful illusory world could be seen as it signified this creature standing powerfully in the WORLD Rank, Noah''s eyes shing brightly as he went towards it without any fear. Normally, he would fear a Rift Boss at the same level as him as it held strength that was 10 times what normal Blessed held! But...he now held the support of a myriad of Universal Laws and even a Grand Dao that was even more powerful thanws. BZZZZT The essence of the Telekic Emperor shed out beautifully as his eyes shed with blue light, [Ruler''s Emenation] being cast first as his oppressive aura that carried the essence of a Dao crashed into the Rift Boss and caused it to quiver, its soul trembling from the abstruse concept of Destruction as it roared out madly after that, the huge bat waving one of its sharp wings towards Noah! WAA! It thundered does in gorgeous arcs of light, Noah only ncing at calmly as around him, his [Mental Field] was already reinforced by the essence of Destruction and manyws as he wanted to test its resiliency. ...BOOM! The Dark skies shook as the wing of the Rift Boss smashed into his protective Mental Field, causing it to ripple and distort as it never broke, but he did feel arge amount of his mana being used up as the might of a WORLD Rank Rift Boss was still terrifying! "Good!" He called out gloriously with a smile as he saw that his strength had truly elevated greatly, being able to even withstand the attack of a Rift Boss at the same level! He pulled out a Mana Potion as he chugged it an instantter, waving his hands as he utilizing [Field Master] to call forth an Attractive Force that pulled the Chaos Bat towards him, Telekic Constructs already forming in front of him as it was huge drills that rotated at fast speeds. THRUM! Noah let the drills containing the essence ofws and a Dao thunder down at the beast being pulled forward by an attractive force, blood spraying out for the first time as the defenses of this powerful beast were breached! Under the gaze of a Telekic Emperor with an elevated mind and abilities carrying the essence of a Grand Dao, Noah was actually able to match the Chaos Bat on his own as a terrifying battle made its debut in the skies. Catherine watched this with shining eyes as she chased after the abstruse energy that Noah was using, while Annalise had gone down below where powerful SOUL Rank Beasts roamed as her eyes zed with a cold light. The Inherent Skill of [Ice Queen] had been elevated to greater levels every time her Rank rose, and now stood at an extremely powerful stage as from her body, droves of ice and Frost erupted out as they formed into the shapes of Beasts before her! Soon enough, Ice Dragons, Ice Mammoths...numerous Beasts encased in ice thundered towards the enemies below as the body of the Ice Queen emanated intense coldness and might. The duo of brother and sister fought their way across this Chaos World as powerful beasts carrying thew of chaos within their bodies shot towards them in droves, Catherine not lifting a finger throughout as it was only with the help of the 12 Units Noah had released were they able to slowly take down the 4 WORLD Rank Rift Bosses within this World and the remainder of the normal ranked Beasts in 35 Minutes. It took them 35 minutes to clear the Chaos World, and there were 2 more just like it for the Dimensional Rift termed the Labyrinth of Chaos! Noah wiped his brow as they flew out of the empty world after over half an hour, this being one of the few times where he and Annalise had just been chugging Mana and Health Potions to reinforce their strength as the beasts were truly too powerful. Catherine had not made a move throughout as it was their turn to watch this powerful being do her work, their bodies stepping into the void of space as Noah and Annalise were about to descend into the second Chaos World when they were stopped by Catherine. "Now, let me show you how to truly clear a Dimensional Rift efficiently¡­" RUMBLE! Her small body trembled with power as the fully assimted essence of Chaos emanated from her, her body zing with a dark aura as she stopped Noah and Annalise from descending into the Chaos World because...she was forming a punch that she wanted to throw towards it! ¡­! Noah''s eyes widened at this incredulous scene as he reminded himself of the ranks of beings. At the STAR Rank, beings held enough strength as they could disy might even capable of shattering stars. It seemed like a Dimensional Ruler wanted to disy this might right now aspared to Noah and Annalise''s inefficient clearing where they spent over 35 minutes to clear one Chaos World, Catherine was throwing a punch towards one as she threatened to decimate it in seconds! Ah! Chapter 124 - Overwhelming Strength! II From the single Chaos World, Noah was able to obtain 5 Chaos Universal Law Crystals along with WORLD Rank Cores that he gave to Annalise to quickly elevate her rank. He thought that if the same rate of loot remained for the 2 remaining Chaos Worlds, it meant around 15 Universal Law Crystals per run as with their clear time, it would be just around 15 Crystals every 1.5 hours! That was just slightly above the rate that the Aether Continent Dimensional Rift and the 2 other Dimensional Rifts that Noah had just added from the Brightmoon Realm Cluster that were only at the DIAMOND Rank, but Noah had a very short clear time of around 4 minutes with them as each would give about 10 or less in 1.5 hours. If a reality ever existed where Noah could bring the clear time of this Labyrinth of Chaos Rift down from 1.5 hours though...it meant he would be umting a crazy amount of Universal Law Crystals aspared to having a 50% chance to get just from one DIAMOND Ranked Rifts, he could get over 15 from the WORLD Rank Rift! But...how would he be able to so easily clear 3 Chaos Worlds that each held 4 or more powerful World Rank Rift Bosses? One had taken them 35 minutes as the other two might take just as long! But...this was before Noah saw the palpating and overpowering aura of chaos emanate from Catherine as she held a devilish smile while twisting her body like a bowstring, her small right hand forming into a fist as it seemed ready to smash down into one of the Chaos Worlds! ¡­! At the stage of Assimtion, beings could even turn their bodies into the pure essence of thews they studied. At 100% Assimtion, they became one with the Universal Law as they could change their physical form into an elemental one! At this moment, the small body of Catherine pulsed with immense light as it scattered into particles of chaos that rushed towards the Chaos World below them, these particles forming into a river of chaos as they smashed onto the boundary of the world and¡­ BZZZT! A shocking impact resounded as the strike carried with it a unique force that traveled throughout the Chaos World. RUMBLE! The star then trembled as a secondter, the strike seemed too much to bear as the boundary of the world shattered, followed by cracks and fissures appearing on its mountainous ins as the strike of a STAR Rank expert directly controlled all of their force to aim for the core of aary body, the immense essence of Chaos already covering this particr world as a secondter¡­ BOOOM! The horrendous sight of a world turning into a supernova showed itself in front of Noah and Annalise''s eyes, their figures blown back at the chunks of molted earth that exploded throughout the region in space! "...!" The small figure of Catherine reformed as she held a deep smile, her eyes looking at the wreckage of a world as its implosion had decimated all of the Soul Rank creatures within it, only the World Rank experts remaining while being heavily injured as 4 of them could be seen looking around fearfully. Catherine did not relent as she waved her fingers, each one tapping in the starry space as with every tap, enormous pirs of chaos appeared in the shaking void of space. These pirs of chaos had extremely sharp points at the end as they shot out rapidly and smashed into the bodies of the 4 injured WORLD Rank Rift Bosses that were trying to get their bearings, multiple of these pirs skewering through their bodies as a terrifying scene yed out. THUNK! THUNK! 4 Rift Bosses were pierced through by multiple chaos pirs as the aura of life soon dimmed from them, their bodies shredded apart as they couldn''t withstand the shocking power of the STAR Rank life form! "Haha!" Catherineughed wildly at this scene as she decimated and cleared an entire world in just under 3 minutes...while Noah and Annalise took over half an hour for theirs! Annalise''s eyes shone brightly as she looked at the level of power Catherine could release, while Noah had entirely different thoughts about this situation as his mind veered towards clear time. Clear time! With the terrifying strength of Catherine...could he possibly bring a ridiculous collection of loot resources from this rift? This idea erupted from his mind as it spread widely, his cerulean blue eyes watching as the figure of Catherine turned her deadly eyes onto thest Chaos World, her body still brimming with power as she repeated exactly what she had done to the previous world. A shocking level of power at the STAR Rank added to a being that had fully assimted thew of chaos...it was a deadlybination as another 3 minutes passed before the Chaos Beasts and their entire world was decimated! "..." [The Labyrinth of Chaos Dimensional Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] Noah and Annalise had no words as they saw a glimmering runic magic circle appear in the space above them as it signified the clearing of the Dimensional Rift, the three of them stepping out as Noah turned towards Catherine with an intense gaze as if he had found some powerful treasure! "Now now, don''t look at me like that or you might give me ideas¡­" The Dimensional Ruler teased as Noah simply ignored it while voicing out. "Can we dive in again? This time with you clearing the Rift at the shortest time possible?" "Hmmm?" Catherine looked at Noah weirdly as she didn''t understand the reason for the request, but she agreed nheless as Noah handed her 5 Mana Potions that she looked at curiously. There were many beings with varying professions in the Sublunary and even the Empyrean ne, and she knew of Alchemists that created such potions that could recover one''s mana and life force. She didn''t think the ones that Noah had would be able to greatly affect beings at the STAR rank but¡­ THRUM! She felt her body palpate to the brim with mana the moment she drank the Potion, her eyes shining sharply at this treasure as she looked at Noah even closer, the three of them delving into the Labyrinth of Chaos once more as this time, it was only Catherine that was making a move! Her body brimming with the essence of chaos and her Origin being at the STAR Realm where she had forged a genuine star within her, the force she released was that of a moving star as every time she struck against the Chaos Worlds, they shattered as everything within was destroyed but the World Rank Rift Bosses that suffered heavy injuries from the implosion of a star. She then wiped them out with a myriad of attacks that she molded with her proficiency in thew of chaos, taking about 3 minutes per World as in around 10 minutes, the WORLD Rank Dimensional Rift was cleared! "..." Noah had no words as he looked towards Catherine with shining eyes, the Dimensional Ruler only looking at him quizzically as he voiced out after they left the Rift for the second time. "I''ll be sure to search for the opportunity of obtaining another Dao Crystal for you as soon as possible, you don''t know how helpful you''ve been!" RUMBLE! Yes! Catherine truly didn''t know how helpful she had been as she effectively power leveled Noah, giving him a World Rank Rift Clear time of 10 minutes as its rewards¡­ [+40 Idle Exp], [+15 WORLD Rank Cores], [+18 Chaos Universal Law Crystals], [+1,000 WORLD Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+1 WORLD Rank Chaos Skill Book]. After 10 minutes passed, Noah opened the Idle Gaming Interface as he clicked on the single World Rank Rift there, the rewards being simply stupendous as they caused Noah''s eyes to glimmer with intense light! The Upgrade Crystals that would go towards giving him the materials to fuse his Units and the World Rank Cores aside, it was the Universal Law Crystals he focused on. 18 of them after the clear time of 10 minutes! This number had immense significance as when one did the math, that was approximately 108 Crystals every hour, which was 2593 Chaos Law Crystals every 24 hours! ¡­! Enough Law Crystals to have someonepletelyprehend thew of chaos twice over as for Noah who already had itprehended, he would just need 4 days to pass as he collected over 10,000 Law Crystals that were required to assimte the entirew of Chaos. "Ridiculous¡­" He couldn''t help but mutter as he looked towards the exquisite figure of Catherine, this Dimensional Ruler looking like a golden goose to him as even someone like her had taken years to farm the Dimensional rift and assimte thew of chaos, but he would do it in days as with her help....there were a myriad of things he could do to obtain even greater benefits! Chapter 125 - Outrageous! I Author note- revised the Upgrade Crystal rewards of the Idle Clear of the Labyrinth of Chaos to 1,000. --- "Again!" Catherine bellowed out as her body tensed with power. BOOM! They were currently in the skies above the castle peacefully swaying in the chaotic sea, Catherine''s figure piercing through the skies with vigor as Noah''s body buzzed with mental power. Catherine''s realm was currently restricted to the World rank as she was sparring with Noah. She wanted to feel the Dao of Destruction and the most immediate way to do this aside from simply observing Noah utilizing it with his skills...was for her to experience it herself! WAA! Noah''s figure was surrounded by a cerulean blue Mental Field that was enhanced by a myriad ofw Essences, his fingers tapping on the skies frequently as he released repulsive and attractive forces constantly to push away Catherine''s attacks or destabilize her form. From Catherine''s small body, piercing sharp spears of chaos constantly formed and shot out, her hands asionally rising to the skies as she called forth gloriously. "Chaos mes!" VOOM! The sky turned dark as hellish mes erupted out, all of them trying to converge towards Noah whose body began to release a powerful Repulsion as none of the deadly mes could reach him! "Haha, more! More!" Catherine bellowed out excitedly as her body continued to weave in and out, her eyes keen on the wisps of Destruction that were being released from Noah''s body. In the past day, Noah had her take him through many of the nearby riffs in the clusters of stars and realms that Catherine controlled as a Dimensional Ruler of the Keepers of Order and Fate. Aside from the singr chaos rift that Noah had a ridiculous clear time of 10 minutes, he had also added three more Elemental Rifts! Namely of fire, darkness, and luckily or unluckily Aether. Aside from these three, Over 5 new normal Rifts at the World rank entered his Idle Gaming System as well as 15 at the soul rank. He only had Catherine lead them through the immediate soul and world ranked dimensional risks as for an entire day, the results were considered more than enough. This was because as Noah sparred with Catherine, his eyes were glued to the Idle Gaming System Interface where after clicking on the rewards of an entire day of just the Chaos Rift alone...he couldn''t help but have a big smile break on his face! [+5,760 Idle Exp], [+2,160 WORLD Rank Cores], [+2596 Chaos Universal Law Crystals], [+144,000 WORLD Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+18 WORLD Rank Chaos Skill Books], [+15 World Rank Equipment], [+23 Chaos Potions] The loot from high Tiered Dimensional Rifts was simply top beautiful. Not even looking at anything else, just the overabundance of Universal Law Crystals that made it possible forpleteprehension and still have over 1596 left over to continue assimting caused Noah to have a deep smile on his face! This wasn''t to mention newly appearing Loot like the [Chaos Potion]! [Chaos Potion] :: Grants 250% Increased Chaos Damage for 30 minutes. A simple and short definition, but a ridiculous one nheless as this was just one of the many things that elevated Noah''s mood. There were also the 5 normal World Rank Rifts and the 15 Soul Ranking ones, as well as 3 other Elemental Rifts at the World Rank! Even though it hadn''t been 24 hours for some of these yet, Noah still clicked on them at this moment! [+120,055 Idle Exp].... [+1850 Fire Universal Law Crystals]...[+1995 Darkness Universal Law Crystals]...[+1788 Aether Universal Law Crystals]...[1,724,284 SOUL Rank Upgrade Crystals]... ¡­! Multiple beautiful words flowed in front of his eyes as hundreds of Universal Law Crystals flowed into his inventory, his eyes focusing on the SOUL Rank Upgrade Crystals that neared 2 million from the clearing of 15 SOUL Ranked Rifts. This was nearly apleted Fusion for his Units as he needed 1 million per Soul Rank Unit to fuse 2 into a World Rank! And this was from the newly cleared Soul Rank Dimensional Rifts that hadn''t fully reached 24 hours! It meant that he would be able to call forth a World Rank Unit nearly every day from now, which would heavily enhance his strength as he could now break past the upper Floors of the Tower of Champions, the Shattered nes Rifts, and cross more waves in the Infinite Crucible that would grant him even higher forms of loot. If he also reached high enough, maybe the abstruse Dao Crystals would also start to appear! There were also the Law Crystals that would grant himplete Comprehension in the Law of Fire and Darkness as soon as he began absorbing them, his progress of assimtingws then taking just a few days before he reachedpletion as his brightening eyes could seemingly already see this future. BOOM! His concentration wavered as his figure was sent flying back like a cannonball, the mental field protecting him shimmering brightly. With the essence of a being in the same rank as Noah, they would find it extremely hard to get through his mental defenses, even if he wasn''t fully focused!? Noah turned his attention to Catherine again as his eyes shed with an oppressive and horrendous pressure. BZZZT! Arcs of light erupted from him as Ruler''s Emanation was cast, the surroundings trembling as the pressure was filled with the essence of the Dao of Destruction as well as a myriad ofws! This pressure directly bounded towards Catherine on all sides as while feeling this immense pressure, the Dimensional Ruler actually felt excited as in her heart- the essence of destruction was so close to being grasped. If she did this for just another few days or at most weeks, she might not even need a Dao Crystal as she could simplyprehend Destruction with her sheer power and intuition alone! "Again!" RUMBLE! She bellowed out once more even while under the intense pressure of the Telekic Emperor. This continued for another hour until Noah waved his hands at the battle junkie, telling her that his mental energies were exhausted and that he needed to rest. Catherine had a dissatisfied expression as she looked at Noah''s calm figure that seemed to show a light of exhaustion as her voice rang out. "What? You can''t evenst that long?" ¡­! Noah had no reply to this as off to the side of the Castle below them, Annaliseughed lightly while she gazed up at their descending figures. As they went down, Noah''s voice that addressed both Catherine and Annalise rang out. "I''ll go see if I''m lucky enough to find the treasures like the Doa Crystals again. I''ll be back in a few hours or at most a day!" Noah said this as his eyes locked with his little sister who was already waving his hands for him to leave. Annalise had more than grownfortable with the Dimensional Ruler multiple times her level, Catherine being very easy going as Noah was wrapped in a spatial light as he prepared to leave the two women. With a nod, he disappeared from the position as a secondter, Catherine''s eyes squinted tightly. Even with all her power as a Dimensional Ruler at the Star Rank...even she could not track where Noah had gone. This left her surprised as there were barely any trackable spatial fluctuations when he left! At the same time, Noah appeared in the waiting room Where he could see the bright and beautiful textures of the Tower of Champions, of the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts, and the Dimensional Store, and the Infinite Crucible. His eyes were bright as he took out the over two thousand chaos crystals along with the Crystals of Fire, Aether, and Darkness. He began to crazily absorb these wondrous treasures while going into the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts first! On this day it was actually a fire element Shattered ne, Noah plunging into it as he nned to let his Units do all the work while he himself absorbed the over abundance of universalw crystals. He couldprehend all of them topletion with just one thousand and he needed just 10,000 for the full assimtion, so in a matter of days- Noah could confirm that he would have four universalws fully Assimted. 4 Laws fully assimted... It was simply outrageous! As Noah absorbed the universalw crystals crazily, his units ascended through the Shattered Fire ne Dimensional Rift while he kept his eyes out for the rare and beautiful Fate spirit that would grant him ess to the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne once more. With his proficiency in the fullyprehendedw of fate at this moment, he could actually sense on any floor of the Tower of Champions or wave of the Infinite Crucible that he passed whether a creature like a Fate Spirit was present within it. With such a tool in hand, Noah delved further into the Shattered Fire ne Dimensional Rift while crazy absorbing multiple Law Crystals, his power continuing to rise at an outrageous rate as the search for another Fate Spiritmenced! Chapter 126 - Outrageous! II In the chaotic realm that the Dimensional Ruler Catherine upied. It was a day just like any other, with the difference being the figure of Annalise sitting peacefully in the garden in front of the castle that swayed atop the chaotic sea. Dense essence of frost swirled around her as she was currently absorbing the Cores that Noah left behind, her aura being pumped to higher levels with ease as Noah had given her the World rank Cores that they recently received from the cleared Dimensional Rifts! Catherine was on the balcony of the exquisitely designed castle as she stared at Annalise with bright eyes, this powerful Dimensional Ruler with a unique status still being filled with curiosity when she thought of this girl and her older brother. ''Noah Eckert...just what are you bound to do?'' Her thoughts were simple as she wondered of the untold future, but her gaze was instantly taken away as her eyes shed with an intense cold light a secondter because... A brand new aura appeared within her chaotic realm a secondter! "Hmm?" Catherine raised her head to the skies of the dark chaotic Realm as she saw the image of a sagely-looking middle aged man make their appearance. The being looked extremely wisened as his eyes carried a light of righteousness, slight distaste showing as they looked around at the chaos particles that filled the area around them! The distaste on this being only grew heavier as his figure floated down towards the peacefully swaying castle where the figures of Annalise and Catherine were. Catherine''s eyes gazed up as she returned his distaste as she spoke out. "Old man, what made you take the time from your oh-so-busy schedule toe into my little abode?" "..." Her voice carried tant annoyance as the wizened being referred to as an old man replied with a sunken expression. "The problem that is rising to gue the entire Sublunary ne has only just increased in danger, and the forces of all of the Dimensional Rulers have been activated as they are scouring the entire ne for the hidden enemy. Yet you¡­" "Yet I what?" THRUM! Sparks flew out from Catherine''s eyes as she looked at this being with an increasingly cold face! Throughout this entire time, the newly arriving being above them had only spared a single nce at Annalise''s figure below, his eyes not even putting her in focus for longer than a few seconds as he ignored the being that didn''t have an ounce of strings of fate or Chaos around her! His eyes only focused on Catherine as he continued. "The Keepers of Order and Fate took you in because of your connection with our Conve in the Empyrean Realm, we already know that your trial here is harder than all of ours...so you have no need to be thiscent, Catherine Albert Vizor." WAA! At these words, Catherine''s body erupted with a storm of chaos essence as her eyes became exceedingly cold, her small figure beginning to float up towards the being surrounded by a shower of golden light that seemed to be pushing aside all the particles of chaos! "Fate Disciple Andrew, do Ie rolling around your fucking home and tell you what to do?" ¡­! The Dark skies palpated with essence as the two Dimensional Rulers had sparks flying between them, one having fully assimted Chaos while the other had fully assimted Fate! Off to the side, Annalise had a grim expression as she stared at the figure floating in the skies his aura being simr to Catherine''s at the Star rank as around his body, faint golden lines of fate shimmering brightly. "Our Conves in the Empyrean ne will not so easily interfere as theybel the Sublunary ne as a trial ground. If something rises to threaten our dominion and trials...it will affect someone like you even more as hundreds of years will pass before you can take a few steps forward." ¡­! Andrew''s gaze remained that of immense self-confidence and righteousness, Catherine sneering towards him as she replied. "How magnanimous of you to care. Now roll the fuck out of my Realm if your message is done. I''ll move whenever I wish to move and in the meanwhile, you all conduct your goose chase across the Sublunary ne." BZZT! Her body shone dangerously with the chaos particles as their denseness in the surroundings caused her power to be elevated to greater levels, the one called Fate Disciple Andrews only sighing with distaste as his figure disappeared! Catherine spread her aura out to confirm this as she sneered. These beings were still going around chasing the existence they thought would pose a danger to them when she had been even faster than them and located him the moment he stepped into the Sublunary ne, yet they had to gall toe and talk to her about beingzy?! They would be the ones to stay hundreds of years before their trials werepleted, if they didn''t face death in the days toe! "Hmph!" Her figure began to descend down as Annalise looked towards her with bright eyes, seeing Catherine in a new light as she asked her descending figure. "Just what are the inner workings of the Three Factions residing with this Sublunary ne?" Annalise''s eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, with Catherine waving her hand at this question as she replied lightly. "Many of them are either descendants of existences moving within the Empyrean ne or Disciples of powerful Conves sent down for Trials. For some, it is toprehend and assimte multiplews only using the resources of the Dimensional Rifts in the Sublunary Pane." "They treat this ne as a trial ground, or really a yground where the descendants of these powerful existences fight for the resources of this ne with one another! The three factions are merely groups that banded together to see who could upy the most of the Realm Clusters and star clusters as they control the resources of the Dimensional Rifts that they find within!" ¡­! "Your brother rising in power will somehow tip the bnce of the field that they''re currently ying on, either causing them to fail their trials or simply face death¡­.is it not interesting?" RUMBLE! The light of chaos danced around Catherine''s body as she spoke, Annalise only rolling her eyes as she pulled out another world ranked core and continued to absorb and strengthen her power. As a swirling world of ice slowly bloomed from her, Catherine onlyughed lightly, the fingers of the two women continuing to stay peacefully in the swaying Castle amidst a chaotic sea. Yes! This truly was how the situation of the Sublunary ne was, the forces of the powerful Dimensional Rulers from the three factions moving as they continued to scour the vast starry space of the dimensional ne, getting ever closer to the hidden Ethereal Realm that had produced theing problem! Within the shattered dimensional ne, Noah knew this all too well as he had fullyprehended thew of fate and had ess to the hidden strings of fate that affected him within this Sublunary ne, knowing that the first deadly impact he would have with the Dimensional Rulers of the three factions was actually bound to happen soon as after a few days of searching, these beings would finally make some progress and find his Ethereal Realm soon. Had thought of many ways to get past the situation and he wasn''t at least a bit worried. When that time came, he would get a signal. After that signal, he would simply move to take care of it! As of right now though, he was already on the 98th floor of the Shattered Fire ne Dimensional Rift as over 18 hours had passed since he began. The dimensional beasts he faced had grown increasingly more terrifying as this floor held the World Rank Rift Boss that was an enormous Ancient Fire Titan. The beasts found within the shattered nes dimensional rifts were always humungous in size and extremely powerful, but he could actually match this Ancient Fire Titan that looked like an oversized humanoid creature with ease because he had been able to finally bring two of his units to fuse and obtain a World Rank Unit! The Loot Resources from the newly added World Rank Rifts that had a stupendous clear time with the aid of Catherine granted him arge amount of World Rank Upgrade crystals daily, with Noah expecting to be able to fuse a World Rank Unit every single day if not two as he also obtained resources from the Tower of Champions and other features of the Idle Gaming System. Naturally, the two Units that he had chosen for the first fusion were the Dragon Emperors, their fusion being able to produce... ROAR! A beast that spanned Over 100 meters in size, its scales listening with a cold purple luster as on top of its head, a purple crown of Aether rotated majestically. [Purple Tyrant Dragon]. This was the name of the World Rank Unit that Noah had fused first! BOOM! From its body, storms of Aether thundered down towards the Ancient Fire Titan as the hardened skin of the enemy was torn apart every second. As the fused Units each came with their own stage ofprehension in their respectivews when Noah fused them, this Purple Tyrant Dragon was even more terrifying as it heldpleteprehension and was halfway through assimtion of the Law of Aether! Its power was simply unrivaled among beings of the same stage! Noah''s eyes were shing brightly as he watched the soon to end battle, his own body emanating a shocking sense of power as he had been crazily absorbing the Universal Law Crystals he was constantly obtaining from his newly added Rifts, the aura of multiplews in the process of Assimtion vibrating within his body. Yet...his figure changed its expression a secondter as his eyes turned into deadly slits. He had received a signal. Strings of fate thrummed invisibly around him as he knew what it meant. A party was about to move into the region of the hidden Ethereal Realm! Chapter 127 - I Also Subjugate Dimensional Rulers! I The dive of the Shattered Fire ne Dimensional Rift was brought to a halt. Noah recalled his units as after he cleared the 98th Floor, he disappeared and very soon returned to the Chaotic Realm that a certain castle floated peacefully on! Catherine very quickly picked up on his aura as she looked towards him with shining eyes that carried a hint of surprise, and this was because she could sense the congregation of multiple different types ofw essences swimming around Noah as if during this entire trip, he had just fullyprehended more than 4 universalws. This was actually the case, but Noah only nodded towards Catherine as he quickly flew towards Annalise and spoke out with a smile. "Some flies are swarming around where they shouldn''t be, let''s go take care of them real quick." ¡­! Noah said these words to Annalise and not Catherine as he very well knew the nature of their rtionship and what he should or should not ask for! Asking her to attack and possibly kill other beings from the 3 Factions...was not one of them as their rtionship was still just that of give and take! Regardless, he would not be needing someone as powerful as her to take care of the advancing enemies- the little knowledge he had grabbed from the strings of fate told him this. Annalise nodded with a serious expression as she rose up, her aura at the WORLD Rank fully stabilized after absorbing so many cores recently. She gazed towards Noah as he pulled out a Mana Potion, chugging it right away as he began casting a particr skill- it was [Spatial Puppet Master]! The skill that allowed him to teleport to the positions of his Subjugated beings or call them to him. At this moment, he cast the skill as after a brilliant sh of silver light, he teleported a tinum Ranked Blessed from the Ethereal Realm all the way to this chaotic realm as he spoke out towards Catherine. "I called forth this guy just to serve as a marker so we can return here with ease. We''re just taking care of something small...we should be back soon!" WAA! Words that didn''t portray the gravity of Noah''s actions rang out as Catherine just smiled brightly, the teleported Subjugated Blessed simply kneeling towards Noah respectfully as he drank another Mana Potion while grasping onto Annalise''s hand, a spatial light beginning to cover the both of them. Catherine was only looking at their fading figures with a mysterious smile as when they were gone, she spoke out lightly while heading back into the depth of the castle. "So, it has begun¡­" ¡­! --- Tomen had only ever wanted a single thing in his life...and that was recognition! Among the numerous Disciples of the warring Concaves of the Empyrean Dimensional ne that fought for resources, he just wanted to stand out from the small Conve that held an insignificant portion of power within the Empyrean Realm. In this Sublunary ne he stood on, he just had toprehend and assimte 2 morews before his Trial was cleared and he could return to the Empyrean ne! That was all that his conve required of him! Yet...the Fate Disciples and Golden Children that came from the powerful Conves of the Empyrean ne voiced out that something standing in the way of their trials would rise and hinder their dominion over the Sublunary ne, and now even he was wading around this ce he considered a barren ne while looking for an existence neither of them knew! His expression was filled with distaste as he spread his aura out every few miles, being capable of coveringrge grounds in the past few days as he mobilized all the Realm Overseers and their underlings that he controlled to move with him. He was just doing this search to show that he was putting in the effort, wanting to ascend to a higher position of a Dimensional Ruler within the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers so that he could gain ess to more resources andplete his Trial. After that...he could care less if a powerful existence that didn''t stem from the descendants or disciples of the Ascended from the Empyrean ne arose! The search today was as dry as ever, Dimensional Ruler Tomen and his forces covering vast expanses of space with no major results. They came across a few hidden Realms that were either barren or filled with low level civilizations, many of them having low ranking Rifts and nothing major that would house a powerful force. Tomen was ready to call it a day when suddenly, one of the High Ranking Realm Overseers under him sent a voice transmission from a certain direction! "Master Tomen, we-we found another hidden Realm! A Preliminary search shows billions of beings and multiple Dimensional Rifts within!" ¡­! The groggy eyes of Tomen rose up at this as his body vibrated with power at the WORLD Rank, the dense yellow essence of Earth wrapping around him as he moved multiple miles to appear right beside the High Ranking Realm Overseer. "Master Tomen." He wasn''t the only one there as the rest of the search party under Tomen gathered, Realm Overseers ranging from tinum all the way to Soul Rank floating behind Tomen as they looked towards a certain hidden folding in space that hid a Realm! Dimensional Ruler Tomen had a bright gleam sh through his eyes as he prepared to send his aura down and check this Realm for himself, but this was when ringing bells red loudly in his mind as his eyes opened wide in shock. This was because an instantter, a horrendous amount of ice and frost began to shoot out of the hidden fold in space where the Realm was located- the ice elements within this spreading frost being dangerous even to a World Rank expert as it bloomed like a flower and instantly covered a few miles, trapping every single being within in a world of ice! [Ice Queen''s Imprisonment]. RUMBLE! The call of the skill came a secondter as the figures of two beings appeared. One had a tired looking face as her crimson colored hair that didn''t match all the frost she released danced to her shoulders, the other was a dark haired man that held bright cerulean blue eyes that seemed to hold utter coldness and dominance! Dimensional Ruler Tomen urged the earth essence in his body to break free of the restrains of the shocking field of ice around him as his eyes locked onto the two beings letting out powerful waves of power at the WORLD Rank just like him. "Brother, that took nearly all of my mana reserves. Let''s finish up¡­" The girl leaking deadly coldness spoke out as she looked at her handy work that froze the surrounding space solid, Dimensional Ruler Tomen''s eyes shaking at this as his body had nearly broken free from the cold restraints and he was about to move but¡­ This was when the young man- when Noah Eckert nodded to his little sister as his blue eyes began to dance with arcs of light! [Ruler''s Emenation]. BZZZT! The surrounding icy space shook as a horrendous wave of power spread out from him, a wave that smashed into Tomen and caused his mind to suffer heavy damage as he spat out blood and dyed the icy surroundings colorful, this same wave of mental essence that held manyws and the Dao of Destruction smashing into the weaker tinum and Soul Ranked Realm Overseers as their minds went entirely nk! ¡­! A secondter, the pressure of Ruler''s Emanation remained as Noah called out slowly. [Subjugate]. RUMBLE! With his expanded capabilities and the fact that he could outwardly generate his vast mental energies, Noah cast a widespread area of attack [Subjugate] at this moment as his mental energies focused on all the Realm Overseers that nearly had their minds friend from his sheer pressure alone, the light of dominance entering their bodies as they would very soon be Subjugated beings! Dimensional Ruler Tomen was the only one still resisting as this being held a powerful Origin at the World Rank that when paired with hisprehensions in thews of Earth and Air, he had nearly broken free of Annalise''s Imprisonment as he could nearly move even while under Noah''s horrendous pressure. But this was when Noah''s gaze locked onto him as he then waved his fingers towards the struggling Dimensional Ruler, the body of Tomen being wrapped by a powerful attractive force as he was dragged towards Noah uncontrobly! "Huk!" His fair hands grasped tightly onto Tomen''s neck, Noah looking at this Dimensional Ruler that was looking at him with an expression that seemed to say he was staring at a terrifying demon lord. "The second Dimensional Ruler wee across is a really weak one, huh?" ¡­! With words that caused immense terror to flow through the heart of a Dimensional Ruler, Noah and his little sister put on a shocking disy of dominance as a single Dimensional Ruler at the same rank as them was not even capable of putting on a battle! His underlings fell within seconds as the Dimensional Ruler himself only felt a majestic essence even higher thanws wrap around him and shatter his defenses, his origin shaking fearfully as the bright allure of two blue eyes was thest thing he would see before he was reformed! Chapter 128 - I Also Subjugate Dimensional Rulers! II A brilliant sh of blue arcs of light and a secondter...silence returned to the starry space near the hidden doorway of the Ethereal Realm. CRACK! ciers of ice began to shatter, the force sending them floating in space as the shivering figures of multiple Realm Overseers and a single Dimensional Ruler came out unscathed. Their eyes now carried a hint of a blue light as these powerful beings were already fully subjugated! "Hmmm?" Noah''s eyes shed with light as he let go of the neck of the subjugated Dimensional Ruler Tomen, his ridiculously strong mind going through the memories of this Dimensional Ruler as well as the Realm OVerseers below him in a matter of seconds as he obtained, isted, and understood everything in a matter of seconds! His eyes had shed with a cold light as from these memories, Noah finally got a chance to see into the heart of one of the factions moving within the Sublunary ne, as well as where they came from and how they moved. The Dimensional Ruler he just subjugated was not even a local of the Sublunary ne, being sent down for a trial as over half of all the beings that currently proimed themselves as Dimensional Rulers were just disciples from powerful Conves in the higher Empyrean ne, treating this Sublunary ne they were in as a mere yground! They did whatever was required of them to do toplete their trials that mostly involved obtaining an abundant amount of resources from Dimensional Rifts. He received the memories of just this Tomen alone finding Worlds and Realms filled with innocent natives as he took over their Dimensional Rifts and used them as the disposable force to constantly clear the Rifts and offer the resources to him. This was the method that many Dimensional Rulers used, granting them an abundant amount of resources in exchange for the lives of trillions of natives in the worlds and Realms they discovered and conquered as they were used as mere ves! The trace of coldness in Noah''s eyes grew as he also received the memories of the locals of the Sublunary ne, these being the descendants of the powerhouses that had elevated themselves into the Empyrean Dimensional ne. He considered these beings the same if not worse than the foreign trial takers as they were the ones that willingly took in any newly arriving Disciples from Conves in order to increase the power of their Factions and continue living as the most powerful monarchs of the Sublunary ne! "Pathetic¡­!" Noah spat out as he thought about the Ethereal Realm that would have faced the same fate if he had not risen in power. The billions of beings within, he and his sister...all of them would have be mere ves and subjects under the so-called Dimensional Rulers as they put their lives in danger daily to dive into rifts and give nearly all of their resources away to others. At such a thought, the essence around Noah began to vibrate rapidly as around him, lines of fate shimmered brightly as he seemed to have made up his mind! He looked towards the Subjugated Dimensional Ruler and the Realm Overseers as he spoke out coldly. "Return to your Star Clusters for now and make the preparations for me to dive into all the Elemental Dimensional Rifts under your jurisdiction." RUMBLE! His words were an inviblemand to the subjugated beings as they nodded, their figures beginning to shoot out towards their domains as Noah only looked towards them calmly. Since the Dimensional Rulers enjoyed enving others and forced them to do their work, Noah would simply give them a taste of it as well while he dove into a myriad of Elemental Rifts and increased the sources of his Idle Resources. He would move with purpose to do what he did just now- Subjugate Dimensional Rulers and those working beneath them as he then added all the Rifts they controlled into his Idle Gaming System! The system of natives of Worlds and Realms being used as ves that constantly farmed Rifts for nothing in return...it was such a distasteful thing to him as the world he came from had a system of very in the past as well. He wasn''t some benevolent Saint that would move to stop all injustices, but he would move to abolish something as distasteful as very while he also achieved his goals of adding numerous Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode. WAA! At his resolve, lines of fate thrummed dangerously around him as he spoke, his eyes shing with glorious cerulean blue light. "The Dimensional Rulers standing above others and the untouchable Conves in the higher Empyrean ne...let''s see how much longer you can lounge in your high seats!" ¡­! With a sh of light, Noah and Annalise''s figure disappeared as a new goal gradually formed in Noah''s mind. The memories of Dimensional Ruler Tomen flowed freely in his mind as he acquainted himself with the many Dimensional Rulers within the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, as well as the positions of the other two Factions and their forces. He also thought of Catherine- the Dimensional Ruler he had connected himself to! This being had actually secluded herself to the singr Labyrinth of Chaos in the Chaotic Realm that he and Annalise just left for years, not going around conquering any worlds as she was a unique existence among other Dimensional Rulers that sought to onlyplete her trial to obtain the Dao of Destruction. Noah would still utilize their rtionship of give and take as for now, he would begin fully moving against the Dimensional Rulers spreading themselves across the Sublunary ne as he took over the Rifts they controlled and abolished their horrendous system they had established across this ne! His first stop as he and Annalise disappeared from the hidden doorway leading to the Ethereal Realm were...the Star Cluster of the two Overseers he had subjugated after Drax controlled. A spatial light shed out in a certain region of space as he and Annalise reappeared in front of a cluster of stars known as Light Peak Cluster, an Overseer bowing towards Noah reverentially as without any word, he lead the way towards the Realm nearby that held an Elemental Rift. Noah moved with precision as he and Annalise chugged Mana Potions along the way, the next few hours being spent running across multiple Realms and Worlds as Noah added more Rifts into Idle Mode! He would expand his sources of Loot Resources so much that the idea ofprehending and assimtingws in a mere day or two would soon be a reality¡­ Chapter 129 - Unceasing Growth In The Shadows! I Noah had expanded the number of Dimensional Rifts he could get his hands on vastly every time that he subjugated more beings. From the Overseers that looked over entire Clusters of Stars and Realms to the single Dimensional Ruler Tomen he currently had under him...his te was full for a whole two days just with these subjugated beings as he ran around adding more and more Rifts into Idle Mode! Many of them were in the Diamond and tinum Rank as their rewards couldn''tpare to a single run of a WORLD Rank Rift like the Labyrinth of Chaos, but Noah could clear them in a much shorter period of time as there were also more of them. This meant that he was getting Universal Law Crystals equivalent to the loot of the World Rank Labyrinth of Chaos from approximately 3 Elemental Rifts of lower levels! At the moment, the number of Universal Laws he was in the process ofprehending and assimting had increased even more as more types of Rifts fell into hisp, and he currently had Aether, Light, Dark, Fate, Chaos, Life, Fire, Air, Water, and Earth shining brightly in his status panels as the number ofws he fullyprehended. Aether and Chaos...would actually be the first set ofws he would fully assimte in the next day as the rate of producing over 2000 Universal Law Crystals every day from these added Rifts was simply too domineering! Simply put, he was getting stronger at a rate others could only dream of. In the past 2 days, he was almost finished going through the Rifts that subjugating Dimensional Ruler Tomen and his Overseers had provided him, taking a few hours each day to return to the chaotic realm of the powerful Catherine as he sparred with her while using the powerful Dao of Destruction. He was also umting more information about the enemies he faced as with his grasp extending to the Dimensional Ruler Tomen, he gained a much greater foothold in the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers! This faction was the second most powerful in the Sublunary ne, boasting 5 powerful Dimensional Rulers at the same stage as Catherine. They were powerful beings at the STAR Rank as the most powerful that Noah had to keep his eyes on was the being that had assimted both thews of Chaos and Fate, this being one of the experts that had first moved to give him trouble! Below him and the other 4 Star Rank Rulers, there were over 20 Dimensional Rulers at the World Rank simr to Tomen that made up the powerful ranks of beings in the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. These 20 beings and the clusters ofary bodies they oversaw...were Noah''s current targets as he busily moved in the shadows across the Sublunary ne! He was creating a bnce of adding Rifts into Idle Mode, collecting information, and delving into the Infinite Crucible and Shattered Elemental nes as his increase in power was covered from all angles. His Units continued to increase in number at the WORLD Rank, where he now held 7 fused World Rank Rift Bosses as he grew even more confident to move against the Dimensional Rulers moving around as tyrants in the Sublunary ne as they enved trillions of beings under their heel. When he himself attained power at the STAR Rank and had a full Team of Units at this stage as well...he would even worry about the 5 experts at this rank that stood as the peak powerhouses of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers! At that time, he would just quietly move to dominate and subjugate them all as he put an entire faction of the Sublunary ne under him, the powerful Conves of the Empyrean Realm that all these Dimensional Rulers were connected to being none the wiser on what was exactly happening as Noah nned to keep many if not all of them alive but in the state of Subjugation. In the past, it had actually been a problem on whether he could subjugate other beings that held a strong will and chose death over being controlled, but the situation was actually less likely now as against any enemies of the same level- his powerful mind could dominate them fully as long as they were defeated, leading to a smooth process of subjugation! ns were hatched and actions were made with all this in mind as after 2 days, Noah nned to further increase his reach as he targeted more Dimensional Rulers today. He was currently floating in specified coordinates of space where Tomen obtained information of a Team of a Dimensional Ruler and their Overseers passing through, Noah hiddenly waiting for them as he looked at the Idle Gaming System Interface that was actually about to reach another milestone. It was the milestone of achieving 100 million Idle Exp as he had been gaining over 15 Million Exp Daily with the addition of Diamond, tinum, and Soul Rank rifts inrge numbers as when Noah clicked to collect All Resources for the current Rifts in Idle Mode... [Maximum number of Idle Exp reached. Upgrade?] "Upgrade!" RUMBLE A glorious sh of light urred in the Idle Gaming System Interface as beside Noah, Annalise had careful eyes while looking at his random shouting weirdly. "Brother, what are you doing now? Shouldn''t we focus on whatever Dimensional Ruler we''re about toe across?" The little sister was still moving with care as even at the WORLD Rank with Noah having already beginning to feed her Universal Law Crystals, she was still moving with a lot of care and caution whenever they made huge moves! Noah simply reached out for her head to pat it while keeping his eyes on the Idle Gaming System Interface and replied. "It''s just a World Rank Dimensional Ruler. We''ll do it the same as before- imprison them in a field of ice, and then I break their minds¡­" RUMBLE Terrifying words were released nonchntly as Noah turned his head to the prompts rising up before his eyes, the upgrade sessful as always while the number of Idle Exp he required for the next Upgrade were now 1 Billion! The number of Units he could utilize on the field increased by another 2 as it was now 14, and the newly unlocked feature¡­ [Abyssal ne Expedition] :: The first feature that allows the Master of the Idle Gaming System to call upon other existences around him as Party Members to delve into an Expedition into the Abyssal ne. The Abyssal ne is filled with dangers as existences as low as the Gold Rank and even higher than the STAR Rank can be found, with Loot Resources ranging from Cores to Universal Law Crystals to Dao Crystals. The Unique Loot Resource of Skill Points can also be obtained in the Abyssal ne. Party Members have to be at the same rank as the Master of the Idle Gaming System, and a maximum of 10 is allowed for every entry into the Abyssal ne. The goal of the Abyssal ne Expedition is topletely clear the ne of all enemies, with the current remaining number of Enemies being 100 Quintillion. When all 100 Quintillion enemies of the Abyssal ne are cleared, the Shards of a Taboo Treasure will be given as rewards. ¡­! Noah''s eyes zed with an intense light as he read over this new feature multiple times. A feature where he didn''t have to delve into it alone with just his Units, but he could call upon others at the same rank for help! This wasn''t the most frightening thing about this feature, but the fact that it seemed different from all the others as there was actually a number of creatures he had to wipe put that tallied at...100 Quintillion! Quintillions! There were 1,000 Trillions in a single Quintillion, and Noah had to clear 100 Quintillion enemies within this Abyssal ne for him to obtain the Shards of a Taboo Treasure! His mind buzzed with activity as he wondered what the hell a Treasure that could be considered Taboo even was, or why its conditions were so domineering as to require theplete wipe out of 100 Quintillion existences. And the strength of these beings even exceeded that of the STAR Rank that the powerful Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne had reached, making Noah be extremely careful towards it as this Abyssal ne seemed like a huge ying field where he coulde across a Gold Rank mob in one area or randomly run across Star Rank experts in another! "Sheesh¡­" He couldn''t help but let out a breath as he thought of many things, the first and foremost being to empower more beings around him if he ever wanted to safely enter the [Abyssal ne Expedition]. He now held hundreds of Cores in the WORLD Rank from the clear of the Labyrinth of Chaos within Catherine''s chaotic realm, and he could elevate the strength of his Subjugated Blessed and produce multiple beings in the same Rank as him! Only then would he even think of the feature of [Abyssal ne Expedition]. "They''reing!" Annalise''s voice reached his ears at this moment as his eyes shed, his next target of a Dimensional Ruler almost making their appearance on the horizon as the brother and sister duo prepared to make a move! Chapter 130 - Unceasing Growth In The Shadows! II Noah''s gaze was impassive as the moment his mind picked up on the auras of the WORLD Rank Dimensional Ruler and the Overseers below him, he nodded towards Annalisw who actually moved forward first as she approached them while hiding her aura at the World rank. To them, a girl barely out of her teens would be flying towards them, being a genius at the tinum Rank at the most as they wouldn''t have their guards too high against her! The target this time was another World Rank Dimensional Ruler known as Charles. His demeanor was that of an important prince overseeing peasantnds as he walked across the glimmering space of the Sublunary ne, his eyes very quickly picking up on the figure of Annalise as his eyes lit up when he saw her ice cold expression. Her appearance caused the Overseers that were moving miles away to also look over and begining close as the find of another being floating across the void of space meant there was bound to be a Large World or a Realm nearby! Dimensional Ruler Charles had a light smile as he moved towards Annalise first, the Realm Overseers only watching from a? distance as his voice came out powerfully. "Young Miss, you mind if we talk for a bit?" With an expression of confidence and strength, Dimensional Ruler Charles went forward as Annalise stopped in ce, her icy cold demeanor not changing the least bit as to Charles''s entrance, she simply...tapped her finger when he came a few feet near her. . DING! From her finger, ice began to coalesce before it exploded out and bloomed into a cier with terrifying and destructive ice elements that bloomed to cover the figure of the Dimensional Ruler and all those behind him as it spread for over ten miles! For the whole 10 miles...a world of ice! "..." The void of space was quiet as Annalise let out a tired breath while pulling out a Mana Potion from a storage ring. The eyes of Charles trembled somberly at the ice covering him as he tried to break out, but this was when another being appeared, his eyes shing a powerful cerulean blue as Ruler''s Emenation broke out to release a horrifying pressure that smashed into the minds of the Dimensional Ruler and Realm Overseers. Freeze them and cut off allmunications, and then break their minds. A simple method, but one that worked regardless as with Noah''s immense mental strength, another Dimensional Ruler and those below him were added after a minute! THRUM! His mind buzzed with power as he received a positive feedback effect everytime that he subjugated powerful beings, his consciousness only increasing in power as time passed. But this current reality meant that Noah and Annalise had truly moved and taken down 2 Dimensional Rulers of the Order of Primal Dimensional Rulers in a span of 3 days! After that, it was just a cycle of sending them back to their star and Realm Clusters they oversaw, and then visiting them to delve into the Diamond, tinum, Soul, and the few World Rank Rifts that rarely appeared. There was also the Dimensional Ruler Catherine that Noah still went to go see every other day to spar since he had yet to find another Incandescent Fate Treasure ne even though he was setting aside nearly half the day to go through the Tower of Champions, Shattered Dimensional nes, and the Infinite Crucible! The newly unlocked feature of [Abyssal ne Expedition] was something he didn''t touch yet as he first buffed the strength of beings like the Dark King and Alexander who used to control the Continents of the Ethereal Realm among other Subjugated beings, raising a powerful force of Blessed at the same level as him as well as making sure he had a full team of WORLD Rank Units before he did anything. Under this cycle though...a few days passed! Subjugating Dimensional Rulers silently, delving into new rifts as many were added to Idle Mode, Tower of Champions and Shattered nes...Noah repeated this cycle dutifully for the next week as after 7 days passed, there was a shocking new reality as he was already entrenched deeply into the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. There were 20 Rulers at the World Rank and 5 at the Star Rank. Silently in the past week with variations of the method that he and Annalise used...meant that 15 of the 20 Dimensional Rulers within the Order of Primal Dimensional Rulers had fantastically switched to bing subjugated under him silently! This was the terror of losing their dominion that those at the upper echelons of the three factions were warned about- an enemy that terrifyingly they did not even know was already moving against them! Fate and chaos could only tell them so much, especially when at this time, the being making the moves had not onlyprehended these twows, but he had actually fully assimted them in the period ofst week. He could utilize Fate and Chaos to very easily mask his movements so that his enemies never get alerted about his actions or what results they might produce! But yes! There was the full assimtion of manyws in thest week as with Noah''s vast additions of multiple Elemental Dimensional Rifts on top of normal ones after he subjugated so many Dimensional Rulers, the number of Loot Resourcesing to him was just disastrous at this point. It was so disastrous that he had fully finished assimting multiplews, and there were more than enough Universal Law Crystals to allow his own little sister to Comprehend and also assimte multiple Universal Laws! It was broken, unbelievable, and even he always questioned every time he went to go collect the Loot Resources on whether it should be like this! Currently, Noah was staring at the expanded Idle Gaming System Interface as he saw the vast number of Dimensional Riftsid within, each of them glowing with bright golden splendor as he truly came far. He clicked to collect all the Loot Resources of the hundreds of Dimensional Rifts that were now within idle mode! Just the total number of Exp, Cores and Universal Law Crystals alone was something that would cause anyone to run with fright... [+55,025,259 Idle Exp]...[+93,583 tinum Rank Cores]....[+24,562 Soul Rank Cores]...[6,456 World Rank Cores]...[3,435 Chaos Universal Law Crystals]...[6,253 Aether Universal Law Crystals]...[5,655 Fire Universal Law Crystals]...[4,512 Light Universal Law Crystals]...[7,234 Earth Universal Law Crystals]...[10,145 Water Universal Law Crystals]...[11,242 Air Universal Law Crystals]... "..." The Elemental Rifts of the Four Elements of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air were in abundance over the many Realm and Star Clusters that Noah currently controlled indirectly, making the loot resources of these Rifts be extremely ridiculous as he was getting enough Water and Air Law Crystals to fully assimte thesews daily! This was a ridiculous reality as these Law Crystals were really hard toe by! They were used as the pristine currency in the Empyrean ne as Noah...was bound to be an extremely wealthy being than even some Conves there in just a few weeks if he continued his rate of growth and loot procurement. His own power...had grown to a shocking level as the boosts from all thews were simply too tremendous, his status panel disying some terrifying percentages. [Universal Laws] :: <>.... <>...<>... He held +20,000% in boosts in many areas, thews that he had fully assimted bubbling within his Origin as they made him feel overly powerful! The boons of full assimtion were extremely unique, with him being given the title of [Controller] on everyw that he assimted, but what was most unique was that he could currently turn his entire body into pure elemental power of any of thews he assimted, and even release a ridiculously powerful Domain of each of thesews as his power would be greatly enhanced within these domains. The only problemy with the fact that such actions took an overbearing amount of mana, where even the Mana Potions would sometimes not be enough due to the immense drainage that the abilities required! All of these gains...were procured in just a week as with the bubbling strength that Noah felt, he was expectantly waiting to achieve the Star Rank andpletely subjugate the entire factions of enemies in the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers as he went to do the same for the other 2 factions. In all the Star and Realm Clusters currently under him, the natives of these worlds did not have to continue farming Rifts with their lives on the line as they shockingly received orders from their Realm Overseers that they had no need to do so, the lives of many beings changing as Noah had already began reformations silently while trying to make sure the new movements of the Subjugated Dimensional Rulers under him were not noticed by the 5 powerful Star Rank Individuals! The progress...was simply too vast as on top of all of this, he had also been able to move past the 100th floor of the Tower of Champions days ago. That 100th floor, simr to the 25th and 50th floor...granted him another Inherent Skill! Chapter 131 - The Fall Of A STAR I The Inherent Skills that Noah''s received were unique in that they all focused on the mental aspect, and he had half expected his third one to be the same. Mind you, others only ever had a single Inherent Skill throughout their lives that grew with them, every time they rose in power this ability of their branching out to a myriad of possibilities. He already had two, and in the past days...he obtained the third one after decimating the Boss of the 100th floor as he began to edge towards 110s after that, facing multiple WORLD Rank bosses every time he Ascended floors! As for his reward? It was as expected- another ability that focused on the mental aspect, and this one seemed even more horrifying and offensive basedpared to the previous two. It was something that was simply termed¡­||Ancient Mind||! ||Ancient Mind|| :: An inherent skill that grants the identity of an Ancient Existence to the user, as they gain the abilities to peer across veils and even dimensions when one grows to a sufficient level. The abilities [Exceptional Mentality], [Feed on Fear], [Ancient Eye of Terror],[Consciousness of the Mighty], [Spatial Destabilizer], [Soul Devour], and [Ancient Mind Form] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Terror of the Ancient].... "..." A glorious Inherent Skill with branding abilities that were just ridiculous, to say the least! Simr to the Telekic Emperor and Mind Dominator Inherent Skills that had unlocked up to 7 abilities currently, this new inherent skill did the same as the abilities it contained were simply stupendous! There were the Exceptional Mentality and the Consciousness of the Mighty abilities that heavily enhanced the strength of his mind and soul but the other 4 abilities under this Inherent Skill Tree...

With a strong enough mind, even space can easily be affected and brought under control. This ability allows for the user to destabilize the surrounding space, with the range dependent on the mana utilized. [Soul Devour] :: The subject of souls is sacred and taboo, with Ancient Existences being the only creatures capable of devouring the souls of others to enhance the strength of their own soul. [Ancient Mind Form] :: The mind can influence the body, and a particrly powerful mind is capable of manifesting its true nature outwardly. This ability allows the user to take on the form of an Ancient Existence whose strength is dependent on the strength of their mind. In this form, the user gains 50% Physical and Mental Damage Reduction, +1,000% to All Parameters, +1,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +1,000% to Mana Reserves, and the Utilization of all Laws and Daos is enhanced by 1,000%. Putting the crazy [Exceptional Mentality] and [Consciousness of the Mighty] aside, the abilities of Feed on Fear and Ancient Eye of Terror were two of the powerful offensive and support abilities that would elevate Noah''s power to another level whenever he faced his enemies! For the [Ancient Eye of Terror]...it caused his right eye at this moment to still retain its cerulean blue, but his iris now held terrifying ancient red runic lines that caused him to look extremely magisterial! Then there was the crowd control ability of [Spatial Destabilizer], and the terrifying Soul Devour to heavily enhance his mental strength as thest unlocked ability was the one that gave Noah a tremendous amount of Confidence. [Ancient Mind Form]. This ability was just entirely ridiculous as it made Noah more deeply question the Tower of Champions and the Idle Gaming System! A feature that granted him multiple Inherent Skills that were all geared towards one direction, with each one being more terrifying than thest...just what was behind it all? Just when would he gain some clues to the workings behind the Idle Gaming System and what made all of its features possible?! ¡­! No answer came to him as he ced it in the back of his mind after that, focusing on a new goal that he was carrying out right now. With a terrifying new inherent ability and the boosts of a myriad of fully assimted Universal Laws, Noah had such an immense level of confidence as currently, he was actually targeting one of the 5 STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers! Over thest day, the lines of fate and chaos particles had constantly been swarming around him as he looked at many possibilities and paths he could take, and while the path of taking down a STAR Rank expert would be an arduous one...it was not an impossible one. This was because aside from himself and his own stupendous strength, there was his nowpleted team of 14 Units standing powerfully at the World Rank! 4 of them were Purple Tyrant Dragons that boasted ridiculous amounts of power, purple crowns floating above each of their heads majestically as all of them were halfway finished with the assimtion of the Law of Aether. Another 4 were the products of the Soul Ranked Light Overseers, giving birth to titanous World Rank humanoid Rift Bosses that were called Champions of the Light! From the fused materials of Propitious Unicorns, the 4 World Ranked Auspicious Mythical Light Beasts were born as they towered over 200 meters in stature, four wings erupting powerfully from their backs as they began looking like mythical ancient beasts one would only evere across from the wildest fantasy! Thest 2 Units that Noah kept in his main team were Mythical Life Phoenixes that stemmed from the Imperial Life Phoenixes, enormous mythical birds that shone with verdant mes all over their bodies being born as their eyes were filled with a light of power and arrogance. This was what made up his current team of 14 Units! And on top of all of this, there were also his Subjugated Dimensional Rulers he could utilize, as well as other WORLD Rank Blessed he had raised himself from his overabundance of World Rank Cores! All of the past Blessed in his Ethereal Realm that were in the Diamond Rank when he took over the entire Realm were currently standing at the World Rank, their levels pumped up with Cores as they achieved ranks they would have never even dreamed of under Noah. With the thousands of World Rank Cores he received daily, he could produce experts of this rank like mass producing vegetables! The number he currently had was terrifying as when it came to swarming a single STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler...he had a level of confidence! "You''re sure about this?" Annalise''s voice came out beside Noah as they were currently floating silently in a certain location. This location was actually a Realm that a STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler would soon be in, Noah having used his connections with some of the 15 Subjugated World Rank Rulers that knew this being as their higher up to find out the habit of this expert who would visit the Realm he was born in every now and then. Yes! The target was one of the native Dimensional Rulers, his attachments being the only thing Noah could exploit as many of the other ones remained in their abodes or were too clustered together. "As sure as I can be, little sister. Can you imagine a STAR Rank simr to Catherine under our heels? It''ll open up a path to one of the few Star Rank Dimensional Rifts within this Sublunary ne as after I get my hands on that¡­" RUMBLE! It would be game over! Once he got his hands on an endless source of STAR Rank Loot Resources...the Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne could kiss their dominion of thisnd goodbye as in a matter of time, they would all fall. But¡­ "One step at a time¡­" Noah reeled in his wildest thoughts as he looked beside him, Annalise not being the only one as numerous figures of Blessed could be seen, each of them having a singr simrity. That simrity...was their powerful aura at the World Rank! For this, Noah had called 10 of the Dimensional Rulers he subjugated, this being the max he could bring without raising too much suspicion, but on top of all this...he had his own forged team of 30 World Rank Subjugated Blessed from his Ethereal Realm! A hunting party of 40 World Rank experts as behind all of them¡­ ROAAR! The low bellows of 14 Rift Bosses could be heard as with the logic that the power of these Bosses represented 10 Blessed at the same level- they signified a ridiculous power of 140 World Rank Blessed. With all this, Annalise, and himself with his terrific newly gained ||Ancient Mind|| inherent skill, would he really not be able to take down a STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler? WAA! His eyes shone wildly as he looked at the thin blue shield hiding them, this skill being the inherent skill of one of the Dimensional Rulers as it hid all their auras while they waited for their enemy to arrive. This whole ambush was for a powerful being known as Dimensional Ruler Lightspeed, a powerful expert that exceeded in speed more than anything as he boasted powerful power among the top 5 within the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers! Chapter 132 - The Fall Of A STAR II The skies of the Starlight Realm were extremely dazzling and calm at this moment, with wisps of golden energy being seen throughout as it was a realm of beauty. This Starlight Realm was filled with a bustling amount of powerful Kingdoms that prospered and had many powerhouses due to a singr being- Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne! A STAR Rank existence that had been born within this realm and rose to a terrifying height, upying one of the 5 top ranks of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers that oversaw the Sublunary ne. The home that anyone stemmed from was always a special ce, and it was why Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne regrly made trips to the Starlight Realm as today, it was the same. WAP! The figure of a magisterial figure appeared in the skies of the Starlight Realm, his golden hair flowing calmly as his bright eyes looked over the Starlight Realm. Chambeyne had just entered the hidden doorway of the Realm and appeared in its skies, his figure floating down with reminiscence as his eyes gazed over the Continents of this prospering Realm. Yet, his thoughts were brought to a stop as his mind was roused, noticing a deep sense of eerie quietness within the vast continents that he should have been able to pick up with his senses. The intuition of a Dimensional Ruler rang out in his mind as he noticed the continents that should have been filled with bustling billions of creatures were actually silent, beginning to mobilize his mana but....it was toote. THRUM! Far in the skies above Chambeyne, the figure of a World Rank Dimensional Ruler appeared as he called out lightly. [Spatial Prison]. WAA! A transparent barrier appeared as it covered over 10 miles, Chambeyne picking up the aura of this Dimensional Ruler as his eyes shook with surprise and recognition, this Ruler being someone he knew! Yet a secondter, other auras began to rise up all around him as a thin barrier that hid them all was slowly stripped apart, the figures of many beings appearing as other skills began to be called out! They rose from a verdant green mountain below as they approached the skies that Chambeyne was in, their auras all being powerfully on the same stage of the World Rank as they all began to utilize mana for a myriad of skills. [Ice Queen''s Frost Barrier]. From Annalise, a pristine white barrier spread out as it covered a few miles as well. [Spatial Istion]! Another Dimensional Ruler that Noah had specifically chosen for their capabilities to either lock down space or iste it to prevent beings from leaving called out, the space around them bing filled with skills that locked the surrounding space and caused nomunications toe or go. The eyes of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne were filled with intense light as he looked at the scene of an ambush, but when his aura covered all the so called assassins, his brows raised up as a deep smile actually appeared on his face! "A bunch of World Rank existences think they can climb over the ranks with sheer numbers? Are you all bent on rebelling against the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers?" ¡­! With a gaze of confidence, Chambeyne was actually not worried as he began to see the figures of Noah and Annalise below who were surrounded by Dimensional Rulers of his faction! He focused on these beings as it seemed a majority of them had gathered here to ambush him. Yet, the ones he addressed didn''t reply, Chambeyne letting out a harrumph as he turned his gaze towards 14 enormous existences that stood behind the humansying out this ambush. These 14...were the only thing he gazed at with a bit more seriousness as they held powerful auras of Rift Bosses at the World Rank, but even they would fall in time under the attacks of someone at his rank! "Extremely foolish. I shall strip your ranks here and now and show how stupid your actions of plotting against a STAR are!" RUMBLE! The body of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne began to explode with overpowering strength as he prepared to move, but this was when a certain someone nodded as after confirming nomunications coulde in or out with everything locked down, he moved. [Spatial Destabilizer]. BZZT! He cast thest skill that caused the space around Chambeyne to twist as a secondter, even more abilities were cast! [Ruler''s Emenation]. [Ancient Eye of Terror]. WAA! A horrendous pressure rolled out as it crashed into the body and mind of the STAR Rank expert, his eyes turning somber for the first time as he turned his gaze towards a being he hadn''t even looked at as they didn''t truly stand out. This pressure was one that came from the consciousness and soul...which a certain someone had theirs elevated greatly with the abilities of Mind Dominator and Ancient Mind! It meant that even a Star Rank being felt like they were stuck in a quagmire with such a pressure directed to them! But this was not all. There was the cast of Ancient Eye of Terror that Chambeyne met head-on when he gazed upon Noah. The ancient runic circle within Noah''s Iris shone brightly as it locked onto Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne''s figure, a myriad of terrifying debuffs being applied to this being soon after! [Fearful], [Endless Misery], [Reduced Health and Mana Regeneration], [Reduced Speed], [Weakened Mental State]....all of the debuffs that came with the Ancient Eye of Terror temporarily gued the Dimensional Ruler as immense weakness dawned on him, his figure almost falling out of the skies. "..." At this scene, Noah breathed out slowly as it felt like time had slowed down. Everything urring...he could see it with utter rity as with the boosts of [Exceptional Mentality] that granted him the abilities of [High Speed Processing], [Parallel Thought], and [Mind eleration] allows him to take in the urring scenes and analyze them at crazy speeds, this causing the phenomenon of time seemingly slowing down when he gazed out! The shocked expression of the Chambeyne. The 14 World Rank rift Bosses he hadmanded to already surround the skies above and around Chambeyne. The tens of World Ranked existences he had under hismand with their bodies lighting up brightly and ready to release attacks with all of their mana reserves. All of these scenes entered Noah''s mind as his eyes shone brightly, his eyes locking with the STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler. He knew the terrifying power of these existences as he had regrly sparred with Catherine first hand, and knew what he had to do against this Dimensional Ruler at this moment! He couldn''t let this being even gain a second to get his bearings and release attacks, and he had already calcted what he had to do as it involvedyering waves and waves of attack as he had to actually...dominate against a battle with a higher existence! He couldn''t allow the STAR Rank expert to release even a single attack as he had to use all the resources he collected to take him down while he was at his weakest. Under the gaze of the Ancient Eye of Terror that granted over 10 Debuffs, this being was currently at his weakest. At this moment, Noah''s meticulous ns began to y out. Under the shocked gaze of the weakened Dimensional Ruler, the titanous figures of 14 Rift Bosses covered everything around him as their bodies zed with the power of nearly assimtedws, terrific attacksing out from these beasts in synchrony as they lit up the skies brightly. [Tyrant Dragon''s Wrath]. [Swords of Judgment]. [Scorching Light of the Beginning]. [Phoenix mes of Destruction]... The Purple Tyrant Dragons, Champions of the Light, Auspicious Mythical Light Beasts, and the Mythical Life Phoenixes appeared in a grandiose fashion as they released their terrifying attacks that drowned out the surrounding miles, all of these terrifying abilities that would be the equivalent of 140 World Ranked Blessed attackingnded on a lone debuffed STAR existence! BOOOM! A terrifying explosion reverberated out as even the earth below quaked from the force! The skies were seemingly scorched as at this moment, a terrifying aura rose at the center of them. "Preposterous!" RUMBE! The figure of the STAR existence came out from the sea of Aether, Light, and the essence of burning Life from the Mythical Life Phoenixes as his aura was unstable, this being not being able to fully defend against all the attacks of 14 Rift Bosses as one could see a portion of the left side of his body was shredded and bleeding! His eyes were releasing a light of wrath and shock as when Noah gazed at this, his calm eyes only repeated a single thing in his mind. ''Do not even let him make a move.'' BZZT! Before Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne could even react, another wave of attacks reached him as this time, it was the waves of attacks from the tens of World Rank experts Noah had brought! Each of them were extremely powerful as they utilized over half of their mana to bring this wave of attacks to fruition, following themands of their Master as they released their most powerful attacks! BOOM! The skies twisted and folded as it felt like multiple hammers were smashing down onto the Dimensional Ruler relentlessly, his skin and bones creaking as his figure suffered heavy damage once more. WAA! Yet once again before he could even recover, another move was made! This time, it was the calcting figure of a dark haired being that had tendrils of light majestically shooting from his eyes. His Units had released the first wave of attacks as they broke down the defenses of the terrifying existence. His subjugated Blessed released the second waves of attacks as they further injured the being and caused his essence and origin to churn tumultuously. He...would be thest wave of attacks as with eyes filled with strength and rity, he called out lightly. [Ancient Mind Form]. "..." THRUM! Space twisted as a terrifying aura spread out madly, the shocked and pained STAR Rank existence that was not even allowed to make a single move turning fearful at this moment as an abominable form of a terrifying being bloomed in front of him! It was thest wave of attacks meant to seal the fate of a STAR! Chapter 133 - The Fall Of A STAR III Noah knew very well the power of a STAR Rank existence. He regrly reyed the scene of Catherine activating all of the chaos elements within her body as she threw out a single punch that went on to shatter a smallary body! This was why he made sure to throw out relentless attacks against Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne as he would never give this expert any time to release his prowess at the STAR Rank. His 14 Units and a myriad of World Rank experts hadid out their attacks as the enemy was heavily injured, and now he acted next as he uttered the name of thest ability under the Ancient Mind Skill Tree. THRUM! Essence weaved around him crazily as it felt like he ballooned up crazily, the interesting figure of him popping out multiple Mana Potions and swallowing them along the way being seen as a secondter, the [Ancient Mind Form] could be seen in a ster fashion. It made Noah currently look like a beast at the same size as his Rift Bosses, retaining a humanoid shape as there were huge wings outstretched on his back, his body looking entirely ck in color as demonic horns rose on either side of his head! His hands now held sharp ws as he released a beastial aura, his face that looked like a mixture of a draconic humanoid roaring out as it released terrifying waves of mental power that smashed onto the body of the STAR Ranked Ruler freely! These sonic waves of mental power were extremely unique, containing within them elements of manyws as the most potent essence to be found...was that of a Dao.. BOOM! His jaws remained open as he released the mental sonic attack that he found to be the most terrifying when he entered this form before, all of his tests telling him that aside from the terrifying physical prowess that the demonic form he took on when he transformed held, the pure mental attack he could release in the form of sonic waves of mental power was the strongest. This was because he could keep it active for a few minutes, and the target that was being hit with the terrifying waves of power in the form that gave Noah 50% Physical and Mental Damage Reduction, +1,000% to All Parameters, +1,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +1,000% to Mana Reserves, and the Utilization of all Laws and Daos being enhanced by 1,000%...the target would not be able to keep staying alive for too long! "OOOOOH!" Amidst intense and horrendous pain, Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne bellowed out as he tried to circte his powerful strength at the STAR Rank, but he had already fallen under Noah''s sps at this moment as what could be considered his trump card had alreadynded on him. From the mental sonic waves he released, the obsidian essence of the Dao of Destruction that was enhanced by 1000% in his Ancient Form smashed into the body of the Dimensional Ruler as this essence tore apart not just defenses, but even the very mana itself that he was trying to circte! It was the essence of the Dao that even he had not begun stepping on, an essence of something that was far abovews that made Noah confident enough to take down an existence a level above him when he put together all other factors. THRUM! The skies trembled as any barriers of protection around Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne were torn, his body taking heavy damage as the attacks of the 14 Rift Bosses also rained down in waves once more. The tens of World Rank subjugated Blessed also utilized all of their remaining mana as destructive elements attacks thundered down, the figure of Chambeyne simply being thrown around from attack after attack at this point as he suffered heavy injuries! Noah let the attacks continue as it wasn''t until a few secondster that he gave out amand. "Stop!" WAA! The 14 Rift Bosses pulled back their attacks right away, Noah himself having long since stopped his sonic waves of mental attacks as they all looked at the deformed figure of a being that had began dropping towards the ground. BZZT! Noah only blinked his eyes as a wave of an Attractive Force pulled the deformed Dimensional Ruler towards him, the life force of this being flickering weakly as with a few more attacks, everything about him would be wiped away. Against meticulous nning, 14 Rift Bosses, tens of World Ranked Blessed, a terrifying new skill tree and a Grand Dao of Destruction...an existence of a higher Realm fell under Noah''s hands! On this day...a STAR had fallen! WAA! In his Ancient Mind Form, Noah''s eyes zed a brilliant cerulean blue as he cast Subjugate against the deformed mass of flesh that was about to die, his strong consciousnesspletely overpowering this being in this state as gaining control of what was left of his mind was done seamlessly after that. Thereafter, Mana and Health potions were pulled out as brilliant golden and green lights came from the Champions of the Light and the Mythical Life Phoenix, all of them falling on the body of the Dimensional Ruler as it began to heal at a rapid pace. All of them stood floating in the skies as if they were watching a sacred event! All of them watched as a STAR Rank existences joined the fold of their Master! --- THRUM! A wave of chaos and fate spread out as if a drop of water hadnded on a calm pond, the powerful Dimensional Rulers proficient in thews of chaos and fate sensing that a huge change had urred but this time...they weren''t given all that much information. Catherine was in her castle within the chaotic Realm as hernguid eyes gazes up with a smiling expression, not knowing what had happened now as she simply waited for a certain brother and sister duo to return so she could continue training for a Dao that was nearly within her grasp. But the other Dimensional Rulers of the Keepers of Order and Fate,? the Primal Dimensional Rulers, and the Devoted Rulers could not keep still as their high levels of power told them something significant had urred, and if they didn''t make a move very soon...the situation would only deteriorate for them! "Rubbish!" In a certain Realm under the domain of the Primal Dimensional Rulers where the skies were tinged with gold as the earth below had beautiful mountainous valleys, there was a floatingndmass in the skies that had beautiful waterfalls cascading down from it. Within this floatingndmass, at the center of an ancient looking mystical city that was filled with grand buildings, a Ruler bellowed out angrily as he peered into a clear circr goldenke. This goldenke would normally tell him many things, but today...it was actually giving him nothing even when something so significant happened, which meant a total of two things! Either their enemy had simply grown too strong for them to find out any information about him, or they had assimted thews of Fate and Chaos as they couldn''t discern anything from them after that. It couldn''t be the former as if their enemy had grown stronger than them, he would have just wiped them away by now! So it simply meant that it was an enemy they could handle, but he had now learned to mask himself! "Raizel, shall wemunicate this with the Conve in the Empyrean ne?" A voice rang out behind the angry being, another figure with the same level of strength at the STAR Rank appearing as their expression was that of extreme coldness and might. "Damian...you know they consider this Sublunary ne a Trial ne. All the Conves in the Empyrean ne have Absolute Rules established as among them is that none of them will interfere with the matters in the lower Sublunary ne!" RUMBLE! Raizel replied as his angry expression also turned cold, turning his head towards Dimensional Ruler Damian as he continued to speak. "Normally, nobody would act too unruly as in the end, all of them want to ascend to the Empyrean Realm after we finish our trials here or break past the STAR Rank. If anyone went around murdering the Disciples of powerful Conves in this Sublunary ne...they would notst too long once they ascended!" ¡­! "But the unknown enemy we face...we don''t know if he''s a native from this Sublunary ne that has been plotting for hundreds of years and is just now making a move, or if they are someone from the Sublunary ne bent on creating chaos in our established domains¡­" Raizel''s gaze was deep as he spoke, turning back towards the glimmering goldenke that gave him no information as he didn''t speak for a few seconds. An expression of a decision being made appeared on his face soon after as he spoke out towards Damian with eyes shing with bright gold light. "Send a message out. All of the STAR powerhouses of the three factions need to gather and share information in the next day or two. We might need to work together to face whatever hidden danger ising." RUMBLE! A decision was made as waves of fate silently moved, a meeting of the powerful figures of the Sublunary ne- be it natives of the ne or the Disciples of powerful Conves from the Empyrean ne...this meeting would soon be urring! Chapter 134 - A Star Rank Dimensional Rift! Amidst the chaotic moves being made, a certain figure was moving relentlessly towards their goal as after covering up all traces of a shocking battle- he had already changed locations. In the void of space located extremely close to the headquarters of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. 3 figures were shooting across space silently, their surroundings brightening up as they wereing upon a bright Realm Cluster where one of the powerful Dimensional Rulers of the Order of Primal Dimensional Rulers oversaw! The existence that ruled over this Realm Cluster was naturally Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne, Noah seeing this being''s vast domain in person and not just from memories as his eyes brightened at the scene. "The Goldlight Realm Cluster¡­" He uttered the name of the vast Realm Cluster that his newly subjugated STAR Dimensional Ruler presided over, and it was solely for the reason that at the center of this Realm Cluster that had the hidden doorways into over twenty realms and over a hundred Large Worlds. At the center of this vast Realm Cluster with trillions of beings living moving across was the Goldlight Realm itself, the location where a STAR Rank Dimensional Rift existed, and also the reason why one of the 5 most powerful DImensional Rulers in the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers would be stationed here. WAA! Currently, Noah and Annalise were following the lead of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne as he passed through the glimmering world and stars around them, his essence wrapping around the two of them as he carried them at high speeds towards the Goldlight Realm. . The battle within the Realm that Chambeyne was born in had finished without a hitch, his disfigured body being healed the moment he came under Noah''s control as he wondrously obtained a STAR Rank being under him! He left behind any feeling of aplishment as he moved fast, making sure that Fate and Chaos protected him and those around him for nothing to be found out, erasing their traces from the Realm they fought in as he sent back the World Rank Dimensional Rulers and tens of other Blessed in the same Rank back to the Ethereal Realm or to other locations momentarily. Thereafter, he and Annalise were the only ones that set off with the subjugated STAR Rank existence as Noah moved towards his goal right away while assimting the memories of this terrifying being! The in-depth secrets of the three factions, the names and abilities of other STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers, how many there were, their Realm and Star Clusters, where they stemmed from in the Empyrean ne¡­ A terrifying amount of knowledge swirled in Noah''s mind at this moment as it caused him to want to move even faster, the beings that were trying to use Fate to find him being extremely problematic and powerful! But all of this would be solved...if he achieved power at the Star Rank. If he had a full team of 14 STAR Rank Dimensional Rift Bosses. If¡­ Many thoughts and ideas swirled in Noah''s mind as his central focus remained the same. Power at the STAR Realm, the rapid enhancement of himself and his Units through the features of the Idle Gaming System- especially the newly unlocked one where after he achieved the Star Rank, he could bring the newly subjugated Chambeyne into it and use another powerful being to obtain an overabundance of Cores and Upgrade Crystals for his Units...or even possibly the Dao Crystals mentioned in the new feature of [Abyssal ne Expedition]! "Huu¡­" There were many thoughts, but Noah breathed out as he kept the closest one in focus. The Star Rank Dimensional Rift was up next. ---- The three figures crossed the vast cluster that was the Goldlight Realm Cluster. The gorgeous sights of a myriad ofary bodies reflected onto Annalise''s eyes as the girl could barely believe this was where they were from just a few weeks ago when she attended the Blessed Academy and had as her highest dream to attain a Silver, or even possibly the out of reach Gold Rank in the future to be able to take care of her family. Now, she stood multiple realms above this goal as her eyes moved from the glimmeringary bodies they were passing andnded onto the calm figure of Noah. Her older brother that was responsible for all of this. The icy expression that Annalise always had due to her Inherent Skill softened when her eyesnded on Noah, tears unconsciously slipping from her eyes as they froze and turned into dissipating ice particles before they rolled down her cheeks. She unconsciously thought of the past as the memories of their family caused her to think a few things, but she took herself out of her reverie as their figures arrived at the center of the Goldlight Realm where a glowing golden door floated peacefully, this door guarded by multiple Realm Overseers that had the power at the Soul Rank and below! They had passed many powerhouses like this as they crossed the many stars and realms of the Goldlight Realm Cluster, but these beings didn''t even dare to turn their heads and look closely to the figure of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne and his guests as they would never question the being that oversaw this whole Cluster! This caused for a smooth journey to ur for Noah and Annalise, the two of them stepping into one of the most closely guarded locations under the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers as Chambeyne brought them into the Goldlight Realm that held a STAR Rank Dimensional Rift. THRUM! Annalise looked at the skies they appeared in as they were filled with bright golden light, thendscape below them also being tinged gold as the Realm they arrived in was the one that held the Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift! "Master, our target is down the tallest mountain over there. We must make haste to reduce any chance of drawing attention." The voice of the powerful Dimensional Ruler rang out subserviently as he looked towards her brother, Annalise not being able to get used to this sight even now as she marveled at the many abilities he disyed. Just who could seamlessly n and beat up a STAR Rank existence and then dominate their mind to have them be their subordinate just hourster? Nobody but her brother! Their figures descended from the beautiful skies of the Goldlight Realm as Annalise could sense billions of privileged creatures living in the many continents of this highly protected Realm, but their purpose was none of this as they went on a straight line and soon came across a vibrant golden portal at the top of the highest mountain of this Realm. The Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift! A Star Rank Dimensional Rift of the Light Element that Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne regrly delved in alone or apanied by his strongest Realm Overseers, but he came here today just for the sake of bringing her and her Brother to clear this Rift! Annalise had already epted Noah''s ims of having an ability that granted him the overabundance of treasures when he cleared arge number of Rifts and those of extremely high quality, going along with everything else as when theynded on the mountain, the three of them entered the portal that was guarded by even more Soul and tinum Rank experts all throughout the mountain without any trouble. Against the being that rules this entire cluster, who would give him any trouble when he chose to clear the Rift they were just supposed to oversee? Thus, Annalise and her brother were able to easily enter the highest ranked Rift within the Sublunary ne as they were led at the very forefront by a STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler. They appeared on the damp ground that was filled with golden grass all around that stretched for miles, tall trees being seen in the distance as the auras of beings at the Soul and World Rank could be felt far in the distance. Even further away, the terrifying aura of an existence far higher than that could be felt as Chambeyne introduced to them the Dimensional Rift. "The Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift consists of 2 Continental Realms and 3 Worlds, the Continental Realms beingrger than most Worlds as within them...you will find Behemoths!" RUMBLE! "You won''t find billions of creatures that you have to take down to clear the first Continental Realm, but you will find Dimensional Beasts that are called Behemoths- creatures of extremely titanous stature that hold strength multiple times than the normal beasts many are used to. On each Continental Realm and Large World within this Dimensional Rift...there is a STAR Rank Behemoth Rift Boss that boasts tremendous power¡­" The Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift was a vast rift befitting its rank, with 5 Star Rank Rift Bosses having to be cleared as these Bosses were even termed BEHEMOTHS. Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne would either clear this Rift with the aid of a few of the World Rank Dimensional Rulers, or if they needed to be even quicker he would call forth one of the 4 other experts aside from him at the STAR Rank. Today, he had entered the Rift with just his Annalise and Noah...but he actually brought along a terrific team that began to disy itself soon after! Annalise''s eyes turned towards her brother as they shed with awe again, watching as he nodded towards Chambeyne and waved his hands to call forth 14 terrifying World Rank Rift Bosses that seemed to be more like the Behemoths that Chambeyne mentioned than anything else. ROAAAR! These powerful beasts roared out majestically without any fear as soon after, spatial lights began to bloom close to Noah and Annalise as the ability of [Spatial Puppet Master] was used with Noah constantly popping in mana potions, the World Rank Dimensional Rulers that Noah had subjugated appearing all around them on top of tens of other beings from the Ethereal Realm at the same Rank! This was the team that would take down the terrifying Behemoths within this Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift and aid in taking down its 5 STAR Rank rift Bosses spread out across the two Continental Realms and 3 Large Worlds. WAA! This was the team that would give Noah his first Star Rank Dimensional Rift in Idle Mode as he collected fantastical Loot of the highest Rank! Chapter 135 - Preparations For The Abyssal Plane Expedition! I Within the STAR Rank Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift. OOOOH! The [Ancient Mind Form] of Noah was rampaging against a Rift Boss Behemoth at the rank of a STAR, acting as mere support to hold it down and keep it busy while the powerful Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne released golden Swords and Spears over 50 meters in size to thunder down and skewer the powerful beast! The Boss of the first Continental ne they were finishing was a Light Gryphon Emperor, its size towering over 150 Meters as it was evenrger than the 100 meter Units that Noah called forth. Its body would routinely rain down storms of golden destructive light as it held a devastating [Light Typhoon] ability that was giving Noah and the others the most trouble. But they also had a STAR rank existence on their side! Chambeyne was a Dimensional Ruler that mostly relied on and used Light Element attacks, taking most of his strongest skills from this Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift itself as his attacks were mainly of the light element. Their effectiveness was somewhat reduced against the creatures within, but the might of a STAR could not be denied as they still dealt a horrendous level of damage, and he acted as the best tank as he also had a high resistance against this Element. When Noah looked at this scene, he counted his lucky stars that he was really able toy down consequent attacks after he caught this being off guard and even granted him a myriad of debuffs, never allowing him to disy this terrifying power that was now being used to rip apart the limbs of a Light Gryphon Emperor! Looking at the golden body flowing from the body of the Light Gryphon Emperor, Noah''s Ancient Mind Form pulled back as he bellowed out towards the 14 Units and tens of World Rank Blessed waiting with their most powerful skills on the side. . "Be ready!" THRUM! His right eye lit up with a deadly light at the end of his words, [Ancient Eye of Terror] being cast as a ray of crimson light shot from him andnded on the enormous body of the Light Gryphon right away, a variety of debuffs applied to this being as its body instantly became weakened! WAA! The Units and Blessed surrounding the Beast didn''t dy, their attacks flying out at this moment as the figure of Chambeyne rose to the skies and raised his hands up, his face lighting up with a golden luster as he called out slowly. [Sword of Righteousness]. ¡­! A golden sword over 100 metersrge pierced through theyer of cloud, being nearly the same size as the Behemoth Rift Boss below as it shone with a deadly glint.] [Ice Age]. Annalise''s voice sounded off to the side all her mana left her body, the surroundings of the Light Gryphon Emperor turned into a world of ice as her attack and the attacks of all the World Rank Blessed on top of the killing strikes of the 14 Units allnded on the body of the single Rift Boss! BOOM! A sound akin to the sky shattering erupted out, golden blood flying out majestically as it dyed the skies gold for a few seconds. When the dust settled, a nearly torn apart body of a Light Gryphon Emperor appeared, the first Continental Realm being cleared as a runic magic circle appeared in the skies that would allow them to go to the second one. With the aid of Noah''s terrifying debuffs and mental attacks along with a STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler, 14 World Rank Rift Bosses, and tens of World Rank Blessed...a STAR Rank Behemoth Rift Boss fell as the party was on their way for a rtively fast clear of a Star Rank Dimensional Rift! Mana Potions, Health Potions, and Elemental Potions of thews of light, chaos, and many more were given out as the reserves of everyone were replenished while gaining boosts to thews theyprehended, and only then did Noah have everyone move on to the second Continental Realm of the Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift. 20 minutester, they had scoured and decimated the beasts of this Realm as well, facing a Tyrant Light Dragon Behemoth as their final enemy as Noah used the same strategy of him acting as support, heavily debuffing the enemy and then allowing Chambeyne, Annaline, his Units and the Blessedy their attacks. The 2 Realms took half an hour each as the 3 Large Worlds they delved into thereafter took approximately the same amount of time, Noah and the others going through a grueling battle before they fully cleared the vast Star Rank Dimensional Rift! When thest boss fell, a beautiful prompt appeared in front of Noah as his eyes shone with excitement. [The Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] It was the addition of a STAR Rank Dimensional rift in Idle Mode! Such a reality had a shocking implication, as it held the probability of reaching this prized Realm that very few beings could even think of grasping. Going from the stage of having an illusory world in one''s Origin and stepping into the stage of what some referred to as STAR Forging was an extremely strenuous task that required a lot of essence. In this case, it required many, many Star Rank Cores! An enormous amount of energy had to be umted in the body of a being before their illusory world could be forged into a real Star, with the task thereafter being to increase the numbers of stars they forged within their Origins as their goal was to form a Neb. Neb! That was the pristine Realm after Star Forging that Noah couldn''t even begin to imagine at this moment, keeping his focus on the highest realm of Star that the most powerful beings in the Sublunary ne had reached. From the memories of the Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne, he knew that tens of STAR Rank Cores were required to be absorbed before anyone even had a chance of breakthrough, where the minimum for many sometimes spilled to over 100 Cores! The concept of Noah absorbing 5 or 10 Bronze or Silver Rank Cores and this allowing him to advance into these ranks was not applicable in the higher stages as the number of Cores required was simply too great. But the power one could obtain thereafter...it was enough to make Noah extremely patient. The only Star Rank Rift he held had the cleartime of 2.5 hours, and the run they just did gave them a single Star Rank Core from the 5 Behemoths they faced. This meant that Noah could expect a rate of a bit more than 5 Star Rank cores every two and a half hours, which should ount to around 50 Star Rank Cores in a day! This was half of the minimum 100 that was the magic number for many to be able to advance from the World Rank and into the Star Forging Realm. Noah didn''t know whether it would be the same for him, but it did mean that as long as he waited over two days...he could attain the highest rank within the Sublunary ne! When this urred, he could finally open up the newly unlocked feature of [Abyssal ne Expedition] that held dangerous existences in the World, Star, and even the rank of Neb that none of the native Dimensional Ruler or the disciples from the Conves of the Empyrean Realm held. WAA! Spatial Essence vibrated around Noah as after clearing the Dimensional Rift, he was currently chugging mana potion after mana potion while sending back the World Ranked Subjugated Blessed and Dimensional Rulers. As he did this task, he pulled up the description of the [Abyssal ne Expedition] that he chose to rapidly enhance his strength after this. [Abyssal ne Expedition] :: The first feature that allows the Master of the Idle Gaming System to call upon other existences around him as Party Members to delve into an Expedition into the Abyssal ne. The Abyssal ne is filled with dangers as existences as low as the Gold Rank and even higher than the STAR Rank can be found, with Loot Resources ranging from Cores to Universal Law Crystals to Dao Crystals. The Unique Loot Resource of Skill Points can also be obtained in the Abyssal ne. Party Members have to be at the same rank as the Master of the Idle Gaming System, and a maximum of 10 is allowed for every entry into the Abyssal ne. The goal of the Abyssal ne Expedition is topletely clear the ne of all enemies, with the current remaining number of Enemies being 100 Quintillion. When all 100 Quintillion enemies of the Abyssal ne are cleared, the Shards of a Taboo Treasure will be given as rewards. The Abyssal ne! The name itself was shocking as Noah wondered of its sheer size and itsparison to the Sublunary ne or Empyrean ne. From the memories of Chambeyne, there were actually multiple mentions of this Abyssal ne from other powerful Dimensional Rulers as it seemed like a location that the powerful beings within the Empyrean ne had ess to! It held a great deal of mystery as Noah was slowly piecing things together, but what mattered to him the most were what the description of this feature mentioned- Loot...and the new resource known as Skill Points. He wanted to get his hands on these skill points badly as his mind of a transmigrator told him of an explosive rise in strength when he got his hands on such a thing! For this dangerous expedition, he had to prepare as when he returned from it, he would bring to a close the Three Factions moving within the Sublunary ne as he would shockingly target all of their domains and the Dimensional Rifts they held within. He would stand above all of these so called Dimensional Rulers...all he needed was just time. RUMBLE! In his cerulean blue eyes, a dominating light shone as he rose up and stared at the runic magic circle that would lead out of the Cleared Star Rank Dimensional Rift! Chapter 136 - Preparations For The Abyssal Plane Expedition! II The Star Rank Dimensional Rift was left behind without any troubles as Noah truly came and went in one of the headquarters of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers without any trouble! The being they were all searching for had actuallye right under their noses as they still had no idea. Around this same time, the three Factions of the Sublunary ne were about to hold a meeting as for the sake of obtaining information and not exposing himself too early, Noah allowed Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne to attend so he could look at the enemies looking for him directly. With the ability of Remote Control under ||Mind Dominator||, it would be akin to Noah sitting in this meeting himself as he obtained information about his enemies while they continued to stay in the dark about him! Like this, the preparation for Noah''s next phase of ns were under way as after the clearing of the Star Rank Rift, Annalise and his figure were wrapped up in a spatial light as they returned to the Ethereal Realm, Noah being intent on spending the few days where he waited for STAR Rank Cores toe to him with peace. He only nned to leave the Ethereal Realm once or twice to spar with the Dimensional Ruler Catherine and search for any possible Fate Spirits that would lead him to an Incandescent Treasure ne again, this rare creature eluding him the past days no matter how many times he dove into the Rifts and Floors of the features of the Idle Gaming system. Aplishing the goal of Catherine was both easy and hard, where with enough of their sparring sessions- she might actually be able toprehend the abstruse Dao of Destruction as this would mean Noah gaining a big helper in the Empyrean ne. Noah left everything up to fate as he enjoyed the first few days of peace in a while, using the time to catch up with Rose on the progress of the Ethereal Realm as well as how the missions of the Dimensional Rulers he subjugated were going. He was slowly changing the nature of natives being forced to dive into Dimensional Rifts day and night and giving their loot away to Realm Overseers for collection, but the progress was slow as he was doing it within the bounds of not being noticed by the powerful Dimensional Rulers from the three factions! . This was why among the many Star and Realm Clusters that could legitimately be seen under Noah''s jurisdiction because he had subjugated their Rulers, the progress of freeing the lives of many was not too fast. Noah understood this very clearly, and it was why he was moving with at a fast pace to achieve the power of STAR Forging as he obtained even greater power- enough that he would be able to stand on top of all the Dimensional Rulers and openly institute rules that changed the nature of the Sublunary ne. Like this, while undertaking small tasks and catching up on the progress of those around him, a day passed. During this time, Noah stopped himself from even touching the Idle Gaming System interface as he wanted a full day to pass before he collected his abundant loot, his eyes staring into the interface now as he stared only at the Inescapable Light Continental Realm Dimensional Rift! His eyes were filled with a light of fervor as he clicked to collect the loot resources of this ster Star Rank Rift. [+960? Idle Exp] [+212 Light Universal Law Crystals] [+12 Light STAR Rank Equipment] [+50,000 STAR Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] [+42 STAR Rank Light Tyrant Dragon Unit Shards] [+88 Ultimate Light Potions] [+9 STAR Rank Light Element Skill Books] [+55 STAR Rank Cores] "..." Noah could only read the prompt silently as he looked and analyzed everything with wonder, the 24 hour loot resource of this single STAR Rank Rift being too beautiful. The STAR Rank equipment that would provide a shocking amount of defensive capabilities and support, the STAR Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals that he needed millions of that had now begun to be collected early, the Star Rank Unit Shards that he received 42 of from a single day that actually meant that in another day and a half...he would have 100 to call forth a genuine STAR Rank Unit! This was the boon from a STAR Rank Rift that Noah wanted! Even though the forging of Units from World to Star was extremely hard due to the millions of World Rank Upgrade Crystals required, Noah could still obtain Unit Shards from Rifts of this level as when he collected enough...it was just a simple job of summoning them thereafter. This meant that aside from Noah achieving the STAR Rank himself in another day or so, he would be apanied by a terrifying Unit of the same rank when they ultimately went towards the Abyssal ne Expedition. It also gave way to the reality that if Noah did nothing but sleep and only collect loot for an entire month, he would be able to fill his whole team of 14 Unit Slots full of STAR Rank Rift Bosses at the rate the Unit Shards were currentlying in! After That...who could stand to oppose him in the Sublunary ne? RUMBLE! Unseen waves of fate rolled out at the mere thought, Noah smiling calmly as he browsed the Light Element Skill Books and the Ultimate Light Potion that granted one +500% Enhancement of all Light Element Abilities once they took it. He had many cards up his sleeves as his preparations for his next steps were already done, with all that was left to do being to merely stay Idle! He just had to idle around and absorb the Star Rank Cores he was collecting, reaching the Star Forging Realm that evaded many with ease as thereafter, he would delve into the dangerous Abyssal ne and see his fate on obtaining Dao Crystals of unknown Daos and the unique Skill Points he had yet to even look at. As for his enemies? He would just let them plot as he listened in! ---- Near the very center of the Sublunary ne. The center of the ne was an extremely important and sacred one, with a grandary sized architecture known as the Sanctuary existing in this location. This Sanctuary was designed uniquely as it had the shape of aary sized human being standing proudly with their arms outstretched towards the space above where one could find...a golden stairway that seemed endless! Aary sized humanoid structure raising their arms towards a golden stairway! This was the Sanctuary, and the stairs it pointed to were known as the Golden Stairway of Ascension that a being had to walk on and reach the end of to step into the Empyrean ne. The Golden Stairway of Ascension was one that World Rank Expert dared not to even step on, only those in the STAR Forging Realm having bodies capable of withstanding the spatial turbulence to go from this lower ne and into the Higher Empyrean ne! Noah stared at this grand Stairway of Ascension from the eyes of the Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne as they were filled with an unknown light, turning from it soon after as he continued towards the head structure of the Sanctuary where the meeting of the three Factions was being held. There, the auras of multiple Star Rank experts could be felt as when Noah neared the head of the Sanctuary andnded on its golden floor, he could see the faces of the experts clearly. Their numbers were upwards of 30, each of them having a sagely appearance or grand temperaments as they were either Disciples of powerful Conves of the Empyrean ne or prideful natives of the Sublunary ne that had risen to these heights themselves! Many were from the three factions as a few of the powerful existences were lone powerhouses. The figure of even the disgruntled Catherine could be seen standing near the Dimensional Rulers of the Keepers of Order and Fate as the one at the very forefront nodded towards the Ruler from the Primal Dimensional Rulers who had called this meeting. Raizel turned towards the figure of Chambeyne as he seemed to be thest one they were waiting for, his figure rising in front of everyone as he began to speak grandly! "I called everyone here today because of an unknown enemy that will interfere with all our interests...one that is growing more powerful by the day as we cannot even discern anything about them at this moment." ¡­! The voice of Raizel reverberated out as the meeting between the STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne took ce. While it was ongoing, Noah was using [Remote Control] to observe the many enemies talking about him as he submitted them to memory while listening to the means these beings were nning on using for the future toe! Chapter 137 - The Abyssal Plane! I The meeting of the most powerful existences of the Sublunary ne proceeded smoothly as many things were discussed, Noahing across the personalities and identities of all of the Dimensional Rulers as he better understood the structure of power. His eyes focused on the powerful leaders of the Keepers of Order and Fate and the Devoted Rulers that Chambeyne wasn''t a part of,mitting to memory their powerful STAR Rank existences while listening to all the methods they came up with to deal with him. A few hours passed with these powerful existences mingling, the figure of Catherine not bothering with the many experts throughout as after everything was officially done, she left soon after without even waiting for the other Rulers of the Keepers of Order and Fate! Noah noticed how Catherine wasn''t alone in such actions as it showed him the cohesiveness of the Dimensional Rulers was only on the surface, these Disciples from powerful Empyrean Conves all having their own goals that they cared about. After this meeting of Rulers was concluded, Noah left with an overabundance of information as he organized everything and continued with his idle life for the next day without worry! No responsibilities, no worries, and no urgent work. It was the life that Noah only ever dreamed of as even with the Idle Gaming System, he was anything but idle in the past weeks! He thought that he could onlyfortably be idle when he brought under his heel the Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne, using the uncountable number of rifts within this ne to gain an obscene amount of wealth that even the Conves of the Empyrean ne would be jealous of. He would use his connection with Catherine and whatever Conve she belonged to, to obtain Dao Crystals and other rare treasures through trading as even at this moment, the number of Universal Law crystals he held was just terrifying! Thoughts of the future were abundant in Noah''s mind as the hours slowly passed.. Noah himself was currently floating on the back of a gorgeous looking Mythical Life Phoenix, the vibrant green essence of this Rift Boss being extremelyfortable to be around as its aura of Life was addictive. Annalise and Rose were together again as the two girls were talking while absorbing Universal Law Crystals of a myriad ofws without worry. Noah had so much of such loot that after he assimted multiplews, he handed the unneeded Universal Law Crystals to his little sister and Rose as these beings were enjoying treatment that only the most prized disciples of Conves dreamed of! He could hear their whispers from far away as he focused on the Idle Gaming Interface in front of him. "You better make your move soon if you don''t want to lose out, there''s this woman called Catherine that always stares at him like some sort of meal¡­" The Ice Queen was teasing the now Ethereal Empress who hit her hand with a stern expression, Annalise onlyughing as she talked about something else. Noah shook his head with a smile as he ced his entire focus on the Idle Gaming Interface, staring at the golden glowing STAR Rift that he had been waiting on for over a day and a half as he clicked on it to collect the loot that would elevate him to a stage others only ever dreamed of. [+1545? Idle Exp] [+311 Light Universal Law Crystals] [+18 Light STAR Rank Equipment] [+75,000 STAR Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] [+66 STAR Rank Light Tyrant Dragon Unit Shards] [+125 Ultimate Light Potions] [+16 STAR Rank Light Element Skill Books] [+88 STAR Rank Cores] A deep smile appeared on Noah''s face as his blue eyes shed brightly. Out of the many details of loot, only a few mattered the most at this moment! The STAR Rank Light Tyrant Dragon Unit Shards that now made it possible for Noah to call forth a STAR? Unit...and then the 88 STAR Rank Cores that added to the 50 that Noah had already absorbed in the past day- it meant he would be reaching the prized Star Rank today! RUMBLE! He rose from his rxed position as he turned serious, waving his hands and calling forth the glimmering STAR Cores that shone with a glorious starry light, Noah beginning to absorb them freely as the essence within his body and Origin vibrated powerfully. The illusory world within him had already be stimted in the past day as after absorbing 50 STAR Cores, it seemed to be bing much more solidified as at this moment...he was on his way to forge a genuine STAR! BZZT! Two Cores were quickly drained as his body acted like a ck hole, sucking in everything he could as he took out two more cores from his inventory and continued. The figure of the Mythical Life Phoenix he stood on top of trembled slightly as it sensed the rising aura sitting atop it, Annalise and Rose also turning towards Noah with sharp expressions as they saw his aura being elevated rapidly! 10 Cores. 30 Cores. 50! The absorption process continued as Noah very quickly passed the 100 point mark from the cores he absorbed yesterday and today, his body vibrating at the precipice of power as he felt like a cup that was filled to the brim. Naturally, after bing filled to the brim...he overflowed. BOOM! The illusory world within his Origin was fully forged into a genuine Star that shone brilliantly and released waves of oppressive power. With every rotation of this world, the surrounding essence was sucked in freely as it released its unique essence of a STAR over Noah''s body, strengthening him as his skin and bones shone with an overpowering luster at this moment! His dark hair waves majestically as he sat atop the Mythical Life Phoenix, the aura he released fully at the STAR Rank as it was only after a few seconds that he opened his eyes, causing a burst of blue light to release from them! "..." He raised his own arms as he sensed the strength within them, imagining the scene of Catherine shattering stars with her own hands as he wondered...would he now be able to do it too? "You''ve sessfully broken through?" The voice of Annalise reached his ears as he nced towards his sister and nodded with a smile, the Ice Queen releasing a tight breath as her own expression became firm. She knew what would be happening now that Noah had achieved this. Noah himself familiarized himself with the overabundance in power as he checked all the areas that changed after his advancement. One of the biggest things was of course...his inherent skills that rose with power every time that he rose in rank! His eyes flowed towards his status panel that showed the advancement of his three Inherent Skills. ||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], [Remote Control], [Dominator''s Consciousness],? [Evolve|Devolve], [Spatial Puppet Master], [Mind Guider], and [Hive Mind] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Authority of the Dominator] ... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission],[Field Master], [Ruler''s Emenation], [Telekic Constructs], [Precognition], and [Armament] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [sma Generation]... ||Ancient Mind|| :: An inherent skill that grants the identity of an Ancient Existence to the user, as they gain the abilities to peer across veils and even dimensions when one grows to a sufficient level. The abilities [Exceptional Mentality], [Feed on Fear], [Ancient Eye of Terror],[Consciousness of the Mighty], [Spatial Destabilizer], [Soul Devour], [Ancient Mind Form], and? [Terror of the Ancient] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Heresy]... Now that he held three Inherent Skills, every advancement meant that he would get the boost of three new abilities! The abilities to be unlocked this time around were particrly dreadful, especially [Hive Mind] and [Armament] as they enhanced him directly and gave him a ridiculous boost in power. [Hive Mind] :: The Subjugated Existences under the Mind Dominator gain the ability to share their collective consciousness as they think and move in synchrony. When the Mind Dominator casts this ability, he can call upon the collective consciousness of all his Subjugated beings and their Mana Reserves. [Armament] :: The mental energy of the Telekic Emperor can reinforce the body into an extreme form of armament, granting +10,000% Defense, +10,000% Resistance to All Universal Laws, +10,000% Increased Offensive Power, and +10,000% Increased Prative Power to All Universal Laws. The length of Armament is dependent on how much mana is avable. [Terror of the Ancient] :: The body of the Ancient unconsciously releases an aura of Terror, granting upon all enemies the status effects of -25% Effectiveness of All Abilities, -25% Mana Reserves, -25% Movement Speed, -25% Attack Speed, -25% Cast Speed, -25% Efficiency of Mana Conduction and Usage, and 25% Chance of Skills Failing on Cast. ¡­! A wondrous set of unlocked abilities! Abilities that made Noah vibrate with confidence as he rose up, his preparations for going into the Abyssal neplete with this advancement in rank as all that was left was for him to set off! Chapter 138 - The Abyssal Plane! II Noah continued to stare at his new abilities as he thought of all the ways his strength was elevated- especially with the Hive Mind ability that allowed him to tap into the collective consciousness and Mana Reserves of the beings he subjugated. It was a method that vastly increased his mana reserves and also made him want to vastly expand the number of beings he subjugated! [Armament] was purely a strengthening ability that came with a ridiculous amount of boosts as when he paired in up with the boosts of [Ancient Mind Form], Noah saw himself reaching a level of power where he could consider himself on the level of a Rift Boss when hepared himself against beings in the same level. As for [Terror of the Ancient], it was a stupendous support ability that heavily lowered the power of his enemies, and it was a great ability whenbined with the [Ancient Eye of Terror] that granted it crazy debuffs. After Noah analyzed the new skills, he went ahead and looked at the 100 Units Shards of the STAR Rank Tyrant Light Dragon that shone with a golden luster in his inventory. He held a light smile as hebined these shards, a bright light erupting out as the first STAR Rank Rift Boss under him was called out. ROOAR! With a glimmer of a wondrous light, a beast evenrger than the beautiful Mythical Life Phoenix below appeared in front of them, its mere aura causing the phoenix to shudder as it bowed its head down to the powerful creature! Tyrant Light Dragon, STAR Rank! STAR? [Tyrant Light Dragon, Enel] :: A dragon born from light, its capabilities in this field extremely powerful as it has currentlyprehended and assimted 100% of this Universal Law of Light.. It''s masterful control of Light has exceeded many beings as its mere can burn lesser beings. It''s abilities include [Light Burst], [Light of Judgment], [Light Shield], [Healing Light], [Destructive Light Breath], [Light Typhoon], [Sea of Light],? [Chains of Burning Light], [Soul Burning mes of Light], [Lightfall], and [Wrath of the Tyrant Light Dragon]. ¡­! A Unit where from its birth already held fullprehension and assimtion in its respectivew! "Good!" Noah couldn''t help but let out a boisterous shout as he looked at the magnificent creature that bowed its head towards him. After calling forth such a creature, his body began to light up with essence as he utilized [Spatial Puppet Master to call forth a few beings. WAP! Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne was the first to appear, this powerful being at the same rank as Noah bowing his head towards him reverentially as soon after, the auras 7 other World Rank beings appeared beside him. Off to the side, Annalise adopted a heavy expression as she breathed out, rising from where she sat with Rose as she said a few words towards her before she went towards Noah. She knew that it was time! Her, Noah, the STAR Rank Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne and the 7 other World Rank Blessed standing behind him...that made the maximum number of 10 beings that could enter the Abyssal ne Expedition. Noah looked at the Ethereal Queen that was taking care of the Realm this body was born in as he spoke lightly. "We should be gone for a period of a day to a few days...but we will return!" RUMBLE! His words were filled with power as they seemed upromising, that no matter what would happen- they would be returning! Rose nodded with a somber expression as a wondrous light began to cover Noah and the few beings around him. This was because he had entered the Idle Gaming System Interface and selected the feature of Abyssal ne Expedition. [Party of 10 designated for entrance into the Abyssal ne.] [Spatial warpingmencing.] RUUMBLE! The light was extremely bright as after Noah waved his hands to recall the Tyrant Light Dragon and Mythical Life Phoenix, the spatial light wrapped around him, Annalise, Chambeyne, and the 7 World Rank Blessed as soon after...they disappeared! Away from the Ethereal Realm. Away from the Sublunary ne entirely as they entered into a dangerous ne filled with danger and opportunity. --- The Abyssal ne. A unique ne that others could only marvel at and look fearful towards it. In the past days, Noah had the Dimensional Rulers under him collect as much information as possible on this ne that wasn''t merely a feature of his System, but an actual location that even the powerful beings of the Empyrean ne entered. The spatial light carrying all of them shuttled across space protectively, a few seconds passing as Noah very quickly noticed a crimson light shining around them, their surroundings taking on a new and oppressive aura that he hadn''te across before! Crimson. This was the only thing Noah could use to describe the situation around him, his surroundings clearing up as he found himself stepping on a red earth. [The first Expedition in the Abyssal ne has officiallymenced. There are currently 100 Quintillion Abyssal Fiends within this ne, all of them needing to be eradicated before the rewards of the Shards of a Taboo Treasure can be awarded. Be mindful that aside from Abyssal Fiends, species from other nes also move across this Abyssal ne, with there being no boundaries on which level of power one wille across.] ¡­! Noah''s eyes focused on the prompt that appeared before his eyes the moment they arrived in the Abyssal ne, this prompt fading away the moment he finished reading it as another one popped up soon after! [Abyssal Fiends are an anomaly born for destruction, with their most powerful Abyssal Hegemoniesmonly referred to as ne Devourers- existences that can devour entire nes of existence. Their eradication is paramount for the sess and continuation of all the Universes within the Dimensional Cosmos.] RUMBLE! Reading thest set of words on the blue prompt, Noah felt a burst of shock erupt from him as he was given a lot of important information! He had reincarnated into the Sublunary ne that was one of the three nes within the Chaotic Universe, and it turned out this Chaotic Universe was one of the many Universes within the Dimensional Cosmos! Yet at this moment...the heavy task of taking care of the monstrous creatures known as Abyssal Fiends fell onto someone like him. 100 Quintillion beings. Was that number even easy to grasp? It was 1 followed by 18 zeros. It was a million trillions! It was a billion billions! He was given the task to eradicate a million trillions of beings as the rewards...were something even he didn''t fully understand at this moment. His heart felt the heavy pressure as he tried to use knowledge of his past world to understand, only being taken out of his reverie when another prompt came and Annalise and the others began to look towards him. [Current location of the Master of the Idle Gaming System is the outer perimeters where Abyssal Fiends of the up to the World Rank can be found. The further one delves in, the more powerful fiends they wille across. Happy hunting.] "..." Thest prompt faded away as Noah turned his head to look around them. An expanse of rednd and jagged mountains all around, the figures of creatures being felt a few hundred miles in! As for thend they stood on? It was unique as when Noah raised his head, he saw an expansive starry sky above him- hanging a few thousand miles away as there seemed to be a thin barrier that separated the skies and space. This was the unique environment of the Abyssal ne- there weren''t separate worlds or Realms in this immense ne that held 100 Quintillion beings. It was a collection of floatingnd masses that stretched out for trillions of miles! When one delved further in, they woulde across elevated stretches of floatingnd masses where even more powerful Abyssal Fiends could be found. But the entire Abyssal ne...was made of a collection of vast tnd masses all across, the truly pristine locations being floating stretches ofnd that stood above everything else. It was a t earthers dream when Noah thought about, his eyes observing the barren redd and mountains he could see from a distance as he spoke out while waving his hands. "Let''s go." WAA! Essence fluctuated from him as with a wave of his hands, the Tyrant Light Dragon was called out again as its power stretched out, 13 other Units a rank lower than it appearing there after as all of them towered over 100 Meters. Noah, Annalise, Chambeyne, and the other 7 World Rank Subjugated Blessed went to stand atop the backs of these ferocious Rift Bosses, Noah and Annalise standing on the wide head of the STAR Ranked Tyrant Light Dragon as after breathing out calmly, Noah''s eyes shed and gave the mentalmand to the Dragon. With a p of its wings, they shot forward like a streak of light. With a sh of gold light, a shocking mission began in the Abyssal ne! Chapter 139 - Abyssal Fiends And Glorious Skill Points! I Within a ne full of danger and existences ranging from all sides of the spectrum. A party of 14 Rift Bosses towering over 100 meters each moved just a few meters from the ground, leaving behind a shimmer of golden light while also not releasing their auras too arrogantly! This was because at any time within the Abyssal Realm, one coulde across a shocking powerhouse multiple levels above them, and it would be up to fate and how the expert was feeling on whether they kept their life and continued their journeys. Commonly though, there was an unwritten rule among the existences entering this Abyssal ne from the Empyrean or Celestial nes of the Chaotic Universe, or the other Dimensional nes from the many Universes of the Dimensional Cosmos. This rule was that they wouldn''t harm the beings they came across from other Dimensional nes as the goal of everyone was to take down the Abyssal Fiends within this ne! It was all for the goal of taking down these terrifying existences that when they reached the most powerful stages, they became ne Eaters that could destroy entire nes! Noah was just beginning on the cusp of what others were already doing, but he was given this as a mission from the unique Idle Gaming System that he had to erase the varying levels of power of all the Abyssal Fiends in the Abyssal nes. "Start slow and work my way up¡­" He uttered these words beneath his breath as while seated atop the Tyrant Light Dragon, Noah began to see Abyssal Fiends in front of him for the first time. When he sensed them, they also sensed him as their red eyes turned and guttural growls began to emte out! ROAAAAR! . Pure red scaly skin, demonically reptilian in nature...Noah got to see the Abyssal Fiends for the first time. They varied in shape and sizes as the ones in front of Noah ranged from Soul to the World Rank, and Noah even felt the terrifying aura of a STAR Rank even further past the cluster ofnd in front of him, at the highest peak of a red mountain that rose powerfully upfront. The Abyssal Fiends looked like a mixture of humans and demons as they looked like disgusting plump abominations with huge bellies that could swallow everything. They had batlike wings spanning from their backs as some had two sharp scaly arms with others having four or 6. Numerous eyeballs could be seen throughout their meaty bodies, terrifyingly sharp mouths also appearing all over as when one looked at these creatures,- they would only note how disgusting they were! BZZZZT! Their many eyesnded on Noah''s party as the many sharp mouths stretching across their bodies let out screeches, a sense of pervasive hate rising within them as a secondter, they swarmed towards Noah''s party with the intent to kill! Just in the immediate surroundings, hundreds of these Abyssal Fiends could be seen surrounding the red mountain in front of Noah, the strongest of these creatures seemingly at the top of this mountain as Noah would have to clear the many weaker mobs in the surroundings before he could even get close to the STAR Rank Abyssal Field at the peak of this mountain. Noah''s eyes shed with a gorgeous blue light as his [Precognition] ability was activated. Scenes he would otherwise not be able to see yed out in his mind as a secondter, a terrifying pressure emanated from him as he cast [Ruler''s Emenation]. Like an unstoppable tide, his mental pressure leaked out for the Abyssal ne as it smashed into the rampaging Abyssal Fiends that ranged foul Soul all the way to the World Rank! BOOM! The shocking mental impact smashed into the Fiends as the many red eyes of those in the Soul Rank rolled, their bodies slumping into the ground as their wings lost power. Those in the world rank were stopped in ce at the descent of the pressure, still trying to w towards Noah madly as with a sh of his eyes, he activated [Hive Mind]. WAA! His mind buzzed with power as he clearly saw the lines of connection extending from him towards the many Subjugated beings, tapping into the collective power of their consciousness and their Mana Reserves as Noah felt boundless strength coursing through him! He felt as if he could run for years and cast as many skills as he could without having to worry about drinking a Mana Potion. He felt as if the Abyssal Beasts in front of him could be wiped out with a blink of his eyes! He thought this...and so he acted to aplish it. From his eyes, the [Ancient Eye of Terror] was cast as Noah drew from the mana of his Subjugated beings to cause a crimson light to shoot from his eyes and fall upon all the creatures before him. Their bodies were hit with heavy debuff as the World Rank Abyssal Fiends that could barely move felt as if the weight of the world was on their back. At this juncture, Noah''s eyes opened brightly as with a sharp blue light, he wielded the Dao of Destruction to fill his mind as he used the essence of the Telekic Emperor and cast [Matter Maniption]. Not an Attractive Force or Repulsive Force emanated from him, but his mental essence filled with the Dao of Destruction went on to wrap around the bodies of hundreds of Abyssal Fiends before him as he gave themand for his force...to constrict! Constrict the plump and many eyes bodies of all the Abyssal Fiends in front of him! Under the gaze of [Ruler''s Emenation] and the influence of the passive [Terror of the Ancient], their defenses were heavily torn down. Under the [Ancient Eye of Terror], they could barely rise from the ground. Now, under the effect of an oppressive mental force of a singr being who was also borrowing the strength of many subjugated beings, what would the result be? SQUELCH!...SQUELCH! ¡­! A shower of blood erupted. The bodies of the powerful Abyssal Fiends constricted and were turned to meat paste a secondter, no matter if they were at the Soul Rank or World Rank. RUMBLE! The man responsible stood atop a Tyrant Light Dragon as none of the forces he came with made a move. He alone had begun as after the passing of a second...hundreds of Abyssal Fiends were only a mixture of blood and bones! [+985 Skill Points.] A wondrous light then shone from the bodies of the dead Abyssal Fiends as Noah saw a unique energye from their destroyed origin and enter his body, a prompt appearing in front of his mind about skill points as another one soon followed. [Skill Points] :: A unique source of quantifiable essence that stems from the origins of Existences with a different Originpared to the user. Skill Points can be used to enhance the effects of the skills of the user, with very few exceptions on specific types of skills. "...!" Noah''s eyes shone with power as received the Skill Points that the feature of Abyssal ne Exploration mentioned minutes after his entrance here! As he stared at the prompt and wanted to learn more about these skill points, he gave amand to those around him as droves of Abyssal Fiends began to rush down from the mountain before them. "Rip them all apart." RUMBLE! A lightmand, and it was once received with fervor as the STAR Ranked Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne shot out like an arrow from a bow, smashing into Abyssal Fiends as they all turned into bloody mists anywhere this being passed! His body vibrated with the Law of Light as at this moment, he used his Authority of thisw to turn his entire body into gorgeous particles of golden light that streaked across the red earth, decimating everything on its path. ROAR! The Tyrant Light Dragon Noah was on top of was even more domineering, its gaze searching the mountain as it locked onto the aura of the STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend atop this mountain right after. The majesty and pride of the Dragon Race emanated from its body as a draconic voice rang out from it grandly. [Wrath of the Tyrant Light Dragon]. ¡­! The skies above the mountain shook as a golden light zed over everything. Arcs of golden light then began to bloom as they rained down dangerously onto the mountain itself, the roar of a STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend ringing out as its authority was threatened! A terrifying battle was unfolding at this moment as Noah himself was focusing on his status panel where he could see the details of his skills. In front of every skill at this moment, there were parenthesis as each of them had a ck (0/5) next to them which had not appeared there before! Noah looked at the newly gained [Armament] ability under the Inherent Skill of the Telekic Emperor as an example. [Armament](0/5) :: The mental energy of the Telekic Emperor can reinforce the body into an extreme form of armament, granting +10,000% Defense, +10,000% Resistance to All Universal Laws, +10,000% Increased Offensive Power, and +10,000% Increased Prative Power to All Universal Laws. The length of Armament is dependent on how much mana is avable. The skill was already ridiculously powerful enough with the enhancements it gave, but now Noah could enhance it with the skill points as for his first skill test...Noah ced all 5 skill points into this skill until the number in the parentheses turned 5/5! The result¡­ [Armament](5/5) :: The mental energy of the Telekic Emperor can reinforce the body into an extreme form of armament, granting +20,000% Defense, +20,000% Resistance to All Universal Laws, +20,000% Increased Offensive Power, and +20,000% Increased Prative Power to All Universal Laws. The length of Armament is dependent on how much mana is avable. The mana requirement for the skill is reduced by 80% due to the enhancement of skill points. "...!" Noah''s mind buzzed with shock as he looked at the results of utilizing the special resource of skills points that could be gained in the Abyssal Realm, his gaze turning towards the Abyssal Fiends that Annalise, Chambeyne, and his Units faced at this moment. This gaze of his...turned hungry and voracious as it looked at the Abyssal Fiends like loot boxes! Chapter 140 - Abyssal Fiends And Glorious Skill Points! II The roars of Abyssal Fiends vibrated across the red mountain that Noah stood at the bottom of. At the very peak, the STAR Ranked Tyrant Light Dragon was releasing tendrils of destructive light that rained down on the most powerful Abyssal Fiend in this region! Meanwhile, the figure of the Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne was flitting across the droves of World and Soul Rank Abyssal Fiends as a streak of light, everything he came across turning into a bloody mist soon after. Then, there was the glorious eruption of waves of frost from the Ice Queen herself, Annalise moving in conjunction with the 7 Subjugated Blessed to clear out the endlessly rushing droves of Abyssal Fiends. Aiding them and preventing hidden dangers were 13 World Ranked Rift Bosses, these Units acting like killing machines against anything in the same stage as them! Amidst all of this though, the main protagonist of the whole show floated in the skies as he focused on his status panel. He was fully engrossed in it as he was staring at the horrendously powerful enhancements of his skills when he utilized the Skill Points that he had begun to obtain in this Abyssal ne! The numbers he was seeing were purely ridiculous as he saw his power would most likely triple if not more just based on what his Passive and Active Skills would not be giving him. Some examples were his most immediate skills from the Ancient Mind Inherent Skill. [Ancient Mind Form](0/5) :: ¡­.This ability allows the user to take on the form of an Ancient Existence whose strength is dependent on the strength of their mind. In this form, the user gains 50% Physical and Mental Damage Reduction, +1,000% to All Parameters, +1,000% to Health and Mana Regeneration, +1,000% to Mana Reserves, and the Utilization of all Laws and Daos is enhanced by 1,000%.. A simple skill, but when he added 5 skill points into it¡­ [Ancient Mind Form](5/5) :: ¡­.This ability allows the user to take on the form of an Ancient Existence whose strength is dependent on the strength of their mind. In this form, the user gains 75% Physical and Mental Damage Reduction, +3,000% to All Parameters, +3,000% to Health and Mana Regeneration, +3,000% to Mana Reserves, and the Utilization of all Laws and Daos is enhanced by 3,000%. Everything was just scaled up crazily as a result! Another example was his [Consciousness of the Mighty] ability that passively granted him a 500% increase to the strength of his consciousness and soul. When he used 5 skill points to enhance this ability, this boost became +1,500%. "Just beautiful¡­" Noah couldn''t help but utter such words as he stared at his status panel, feeling the bubbling strength within him as he couldn''t help but think his trip into the Abyssal ne was starting on the right track! He crazily pumped the skill points into all of his Inherent Skills, getting varying results from different skills on their effectiveness. But of course, there were some skills that simply provided ridiculous results that outshone all others in utility. One of the major ones Noah looked at asides from stupendous skills like the [Ancient Mind Form] was the [Mind Guider] ability. It was an ability that gave a base enhancement of +1,000% to?Attack, Physical Defense, Soul Defense, Mana and Health Regeneration, and Cast and Attack Speed to all of his Subjugated Blessed. But after the addition of the skill points, this number rose to +3,000%! THRUM! The figure of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne- a STAR Rank expert mind you, received such a tremendous enhancement of 3,000% as a secondter, his aura exploded out madly as it nearly surpassed that of the STAR Rank Tyrant Light Dragon. 3,000% was 30 times what such a being could originally disy, and now under Noah''s passive skill boosts¡­ "OOOOOH!" The Dimensional Ruler could not help but bellow out at the shocking feeling of power, his golden eyes locking with the abominable figure of the STAR Rank Abyssal Fiending out of the mountain to face the Tyrant Light Dragon as the body of this Dimensional Ruler disappeared in a sh of light. Dark red scaly skin, bat like wings and an ugly body filled with eyes and sharp jagged mouths. Yet Chambeyne appeared in front of it with a sh of light as this being used hisprehension and assimtion in the Law of Light to turn himself into a scorching golden sword, this blinding sword forming in less than a second as before anyone could react, it sunk itself into the hard body of the STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend and began to burn it from inside out! "Ah¡­" Noah looked at this scene in a stupor, the level of power that the 3,000% enhanced Subjugated Ruler could disy actually passing the powerful STAR Rank Rift Boss at this moment as he stole the limelight. The Tyrant Light Dragon didn''t take this lightly as enormous golden spears materialized with itsmand, these spears shining intensely as they also thundered down to skewer the poor STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend as before it could even get its plump body out of the mountain- its body and soul were already being burned intensely with the Law of Light. BOOM! It didn''t take long as within another few seconds, a shower of blood and gore erupted. A STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend had fallen. A glorious red light flew from its destroyed origin and sunk into Noah''s body, the kills of his Units and Subjugated being considered his own as he obtained the loot of their Origin that was the condensed form of essence known as Skill Points! The first cluster of Abyssal Fiends lost their most powerfulbatant in a matter of seconds just like this as Noah looked at this scene with a smile. The droves that seemed to number in the thousands around this mountain rushed towards them as Noah stretched his muscles, preparing to go to work himself as what was toe would be very strenuous...but extremely rewarding! These few thousand Abyssal Fiends were only the start, but it was a start nheless. He would work his way towards millions, then billions...and continue wiping out these horrendous existences until all 100 Quintillion were gone. THRUM! His body buzzed with essence as with the addition of skill points increasing the passive enhancements of his Mana Reserves among many other things by tens of times with percentages like +3,000% on top of the fact that he had the [Hive Mind] ability that allowed him to share the Mana of his Subjugated...Noah felt like he had boundless Mana to work with as his body exploded out with power! The farming of the Abyssal ne...had fully begun. --- The river of time continued to mix and churn. In the Abyssal ne, days passed as the dreary and deadly environments of the endless redndscapes and floatingnd masses remained the same, with some changes here and there. Many existences carefully moved around the Abyssal ne, some being Disciples on missions from their Conves, others sent here on a Trial as they had to im the horn or wings of a STAR Rank Abyssal Fiend or one in the rank of a NEBULA. Not every Disciple from Conves was lucky enough to be sent to the peaceful nes like the Sublunary ne to cultivate, many more were sent to the Dimensional nes of other Universes, small nes hidden within the Empyrean and Celestial nes, or a ce like the Abyssal ne. There were also powerful existences far above the ranks of STAR and NEBULA that moved in the Abyssal ne to try hunting down the peak powers within this Abyssal ne- the terrifying existences that were known as Abyssal Hegemonies that could devour entire Panes with their identities as ne Devourers! At this moment, near the very far peripheries of the Abyssal ne where only the weak Creatures ranging from the Soul Rank to the STAR Rank could be found. A few figures were floating a few meters from the skies with care. At the very forefront was a girl dressed in a light blue dress, glimmering white hair flowing to her shoulders as her fair skin showed a face of someone no older than 20. Her eyes seemed to hold a glimmer of sharpness, caution, and wonder as at this moment, she was following the trail of destruction that left behind thousands of bodies of Abyssal Fiends in its wake. The girl held a sharp silver sword in her hand as she released a powerful aura at the peak of STAR Rank. Behind her, two figures followed close by as these beings looked like aged wise men with white beards who released shocking levels of power much higher than the STAR or NEBULA Rank! They followed protectively behind the girl as they were her Protectors! They were simply tasked with overseeing the Young Saintess on her Trial this time around, not interfering unless her life was in danger. Now, they followed her with wry smiles as she had found something that piqued her interest, and this in turn also piqued their own interest as their powerful auras could already see the cause of the littered bodies and miles of destruction they were following this whole time. The white haired girl''s eyes shed with light soon after as she sensed the beings ahead as well, her careful eyes shining with a brilliant light as she flew forward to very quicklynd her eyes on a shocking scene! The eyes of the Young Saintess fluttered as she saw a figure standing atop the head of a golden dragon, his eyes shing with brilliant blue light as he was surrounded by multiple other Dragons, Phoenixes, Unicorns, and golden humanoid beings that emanate powerful strength. He was currently cutting apart Abyssal Fiends as if they were mere weeds, the Young Saintess looking at this scene with interest as she couldn''t help but voice out! "Now what''s this?" ¡­! Chapter 141 - Minor Fiend Nest! I "This¡­" The eyes of the Young Saintess were filled with amazement as she looked at the scene of a certain being facing droves of Abyssal Fiends in the zone not too far away from them. His dark hair glimmered in the crimson light of the Abyssal ne, his blue eyes seemingly lighting the way forward as he grandly stood on top of a golden Dragon releasing a powerful light element. Besides this golden Dragon, there were 3 other Light Element Beasts at the Star Rank moving in conjunction with them, two being Gryphons and one of them actually being a golden Phoenix! Aside from these 4 enormous STAR Rank Beasts, there was also the aura of 3 other beings beside the leading figure that was the Blue eyed you man who was seemingly overseeing everything. That''s right! After the passing of just 4 days in the Abyssal ne, Noah''s forces had advanced greatly as they gained the addition of 3 STAR Rank Units from the Unit Shards that the only STAR Rank Rift he had provided, and he also used the cores of this Rift to elevate Annalise''s Rank to the STAR Rank in two days, and then elevate one of his Subjugated Blessed to this rank after another 2 days. His line up was already forming into a dangerous one as in a few hours, he would also have enough WORLD Rank Upgrade Crystals for the fusion of two Units to be a Star Rank. Prospects were bright as he continued to wade through the Abyssal ne carefully, still going around the periphery as he could travel for thousands of miles and still only find Clusters of Abyssal Fiends at the Soul and up to the Star Rank! The Abyssal ne was that vast as just a portion of its periphery alone could be equivalent the size of a Gxy.. Trillions of Abyssal Fiends could be found in just a small region, and Noah''s kill count of these creatures had already climbed over 1 million in the period of 4 days. This number could be considered extremely small and also extremelyrge at the same time. It was because for someone like Noah, the reality that he had killed over a million existences was an extremely surreal one, and it gave him just a glimpse of what an arduous task he had ahead of him! When the 1 million waspared to the Quintillion he had to take down though, it seemed extremely small as the goal seemed far away. It showed that for Noah to make any real progress, he would have to be killing trillions of Abyssal Fiends a day if not millions of trillions, otherwise hundreds or thousands of years would pass before he couldpletely wipe out all the Abyssal Fiends within this ne. Even with such thoughts in hand, Noah Continued forward relentlessly as the rewards he received in return were extremely potent, and he was just stacking up endless skill points at this moment! He had more than enough at this point in time for hundreds and even thousands of abilities, and yet he continued to amass even greater numbers of them as he expected for even greater uses of them to appear in the future. In the meanwhile, he just continued his mission as with the addition of 3 new STAR Rank Rift Bosses and the terrifying Star Rank Chambeyne, Annalise, and Subjugated Blessed...the farming was immensely fast! That is until Noah sensed the aura of 2 terrifying beings in the sky apanying a pristine figure of a gorgeous white haired girl. OOOOM! Essence waved crazily as a storm of light elements had exploded in front of Noah, but he raised his head behind them to the skies at this moment as his eyesnded on the dark eyes of the white haired girl. He saw the light of intrigue in them as he then looked over the two figures of elderly men that let out waves of power far past the aura of a STAR! His eyes shone with a gorgeous luster of light as he wondered just who he hade across! --- The Young Saintess looked at Noah''s turned figure with interest as her figure descended down fearlessly,ing close to the party of powerful beings as her Protectors followed. Her actions caused the expressions of the 4 STAR Units to be serious, moving back from their attacks of the Abyssal Fiends as they protectively surrounded Noah. Annalise and the others soon followed as Noah became surrounded on all sides, causing the eyes of the 2 elderly Protectors to turn up in ridicule. This was because they knew their own power, and a bunch of STAR Ranked beings couldn''t even stand against a whiff of air they released! What reason was there for them to act carefully towards them? But their Young Saintess was king as she smiled and voiced out while stopping a few meters away from them. "Hello, Friends. I wish you no harm, but I couldn''t help but be drawn towards the powerful party you''ve collected to do the selfless task of defeating Fiends. Which Conve are you all from, if you don''t mind me asking?" Her voice was clear as if sonorous birds were singing, Noah''s mind swirling with the essence of Fate as when he didn''t sense any impending danger, his guard reduced as he canceled the initiation of [Spatial Puppet Master] that would have gotten him and Annalise out of here in an instant. He actually even didn''t need to do this because the moment he decided to end the Abyssal ne Expedition, his figure and the figure of all the beings he entered with would be teleported out right away! Noah sent his assuring thoughts to those around him as he replied with a smile towards the powerful woman up front. "We''re not from any powerful Conve, Young Miss. We just stem from a small area in the Empyrean Dimensional ne and came out for training under the orders of our Master." Noah replied tactfully as he used the information he obtained from the WORLD Rank Dimensional Rulers that seemed from the Empyrean ne, his words causing the Young Saintess to nod as she introduced herself. "I''m one of the Saintesses of the Glorious Light Conve in the Sunvoid Region of the Empyrean ne, and I was sent into the Abyssal ne this time with the test of obtaining 1,000 horns of STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends." ¡­! Noah''s eyes shone brightly at her words as he nodded, seeing the intelligent light crossing through the eyes of this girl as she continued. "The only requirement was for me to not get help from these two Uncles behind me, but I can employ any other ways to aplish my mission. Seeing your powerful party filled with Peak STAR Rank powerhouses, I wonder if Young Friend would be ok with allowing me to join you deeper into the Abyssal ne? There are even Minor Fiend Nests nearby filled to the brim with Star Ranked Fiends that you need many people to clear." The two old Protectors behind her shook their heads with wry smiles at the words of their Young Saintess, but there wasn''t any falsehood from them as they could do nothing but remain quiet! Meanwhile, Noah took in her words as he seemed to think, replying towards the Young Saintess with a light smile. "What are these Minor Fiend Nests you mentioned, Saintess?" Seeing his reply and interest, the Young Saintess had already seen the results of her words as she floated even closer towards Noah''s party. "Locations where the essence of the Abyss is clustered in high concentrations, giving birth to even more powerful andrger numbers of Abyssals. From Minor Fiend Nests to Greater and even Supreme Fiend Nests that hold terrifying existences...all of them can be found deeper in the Abyssal ne." "...!" Noah took in the information dly as he nodded, his mind moving rapidly as towards this girl that called herself Young Saintess, he had already agreed towards her request as she seemed like an opportunity to provide him with an overabundance of information. And as he looked at the two old Men following her, his experience as a reader and transmigrator told him that any trouble that he ran across with this Young Saintess that they couldn''t handle...they would be saved by these two powerful beings! As she came close, Noah''s eyes shook as he sensed something from her that he had only sensed from himself. It was the aura of Dao! He put on a smile as after calcting a few things and looking at the two old men floating in the skies that didn''t put him or anyone in his party in their eyes...he spoke out calmly. "We would love to apany the Saintess to take down evenrger numbers of Abyssal Fiends." The light of fate shone from his eyes as when he said this, he was already thinking of forming another connection with this powerful being, his mind alreadyparing her position and stature to someone like Catherine that was sent for a trial in the Sublunary Dimensional ne! Hearing his words, the Young Saintess smiled brightly as she ced herself into Noah''s party, her white hair and blue dress shining brilliantly as she went to converse with Noah and Annalise, leaving out the Subjugated Blessed who all had the demeanor of guards. Chapter 142 - Minor Fiend Nest! II "This is truly¡­" The Young Saintess was floating beside Noah and Annalise as they watched the 4 STAR Rank Rift Bosses clear the path ahead along with Noah''s Subjugated Blessed. "I haven''te across a Dimensional Beast Tamer like you before...even powerful Conves will have trouble collecting such rare Beasts for someone at the STAR Rank." Her expression was that of surprise as she stared at the fully Light Element STAR Rank Beasts, causing Noah to smile lightly as Annalise rolled her eyes by the side. Even the two powerful Protectors behind her looked at Noah with shing eyes as their aged experience allowed them to see even more things as they tried to guess the background of this STAR Rank existence. They had been following behind them for the past few minutes, and the actions they saw were enough for even these powerful beings to consider him with the term of a "genius"! Noah only nodded slightly as his eyes looked further ahead in front of them, sensing many powerful auras popping up. . "We''re nearing the Minor Fiend Nest?" Up ahead, the rising Peaks of Mountains could be seen as in the center of 3 mountains, terrifying auras were clustered together, releasing a dreadful sense of power! The Young Saintess nodded as her body crackled with power, waving her hands as a sword appeared seamlessly from her palms. Shining with a blue luster, the sword gleamed dangerously as she was the first one to head towards the three mountains. "Yeah. This one isn''t toorge as just a few dozen Star Rank Fiends should be here. Come, I''ll also show how the geniuses of the Glorious Light Conve fight!" BZZZT! The body of the Saintess shone with power as she looked ready for war, Noah and Annalise looking at this scene as they also flew towards the three mountains while the party of 14 Units and the Subjugated Blessed led the way. The two Protectors stayed further behind as their powerful senses observed everything in advance, making sure that no mistakes or issues would pop up for their Saintess! No issues were in y as in a few seconds, the party of powerful beings broke past the cover of the mountains as they saw the scene below. An eerie crimson energy was clustered in this area as the Abyssal Fiends roared out with even greater malice, the few miles around this region holding powerful Abyssal Fiends. Just from numbers, Noah could count over 100 STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends from this Nest! And this was just a Minor Fiend Nest! Normally, Noah wouldn''t be so bold as to face such a terrifying cluster of Star Rank enemies, his own forcing only amounting to 8 beings at the STAR Rank at this moment. But this Young Saintess from the Glorious Light Conve¡­ Her body began to glimmer with light the moment they broke through the cover of the mountains. She didn''t hide any of her power as the Dao Noah could sense from her...it was actually the first thing to permeate out as Noah felt a sharp essence that seemed strong enough to even cause a stinging in his eyes appear to cover the gorgeous woman as her white hair flowed powerfully with Power! This sharp Dao Essence went on to flow in her sword, this sword beginning to let out a shining white light as it vibrated intensely. BZZZT! The powerful auras and killing essence caused the Abyssal Fiends to look up to the skies, their abomination of bodies shrieking out as their batlike wings shed, more than 10 Star Rank Abyssal Fiends rose forward in a glorious wave that was followed by hundreds in the World Rank. The eyes of the Saintess looked at this scene with shining light as the sword with her hands shed down, bringing with it a milky white light that seemed possible to cover over everything. As Noah looked at the sharpness of this white light that tore through the crimson skies and thundered towards 10 star Rank Fiends, his experience as a transmigrator caused a single word to appear in his mind. Sword! The Dao of the Sword! BOOM! The pristine wave of white sword light the Young Saintess released smashed in the rushing figures of Fiends, their bodies bing torn in half as they were bisected cleanly, the sword light continuing further behind as it ground mince meat tens of the world rank Abyssal Fiends! ¡­! Such might and power caused even Noah to raise his eyes, these Disciples of Conves holding titles of Saintesses being something else as their level of power was just stupendous. Just who could be lucky to get to learn the Dao of the Sword at the STAR Rank? Only the powerful Disciples of Conves that would also send in experts multiple ranks above them for their protection when they went on their trials! But even if they held such shocking power, was Noah too far off? His eyes glimmered with light as he saw the glimmering Cores and a few Universal Law Crystals erupt from the bodies of the Abyssal Fiends and flow towards the Young Saintess, disappearing with a wave of her hands as Noah also prepared. He hadn''t faced such arge number of Abyssal Fiends before as the loot he had collected was mostly at the World Rank, having over all taken down a bit over 100 Star Rank Abyssal Fiends over the period of 4 days. This was him ying it carefully! The loot from just the Star Rank Fiends alone would be enough for him to bring forth 2 more Star Rank experts from his side as aside from Cores and skill points, he also obtained Upgrade Crystals from them. But as he looked at the over 90 STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends before them in this Minor Fiend Nest as well as the might of the pristine Young Saintess that seemed to hold a proud look while gazing back towards Noah...his body began to shine with strength as he chose to go all out farming. He woulde out of the other side with enough Core and loot to produce multiple Star Rank experts! RUMBLE! His body vibrated with power as he activated [Armament]. That was +20,000% Defense, +20,000% Resistance to All Universal Laws, +20,000% Increased Offensive Power, and +20,000% Increased Prative Power to All Universal Laws being granted to him all at once, ayer of golden blue covering his body as he looked like a glowing figure of a man! His strength wasn''t in his powerfully glowing physical body though, and it was instead his mind as he didn''t even move from his position, his eyes only shining powerfully as he looked at the next set of Abyssal Fiends rising up towards them. Over 15 Star Rank Fiends shining with a menacing light, followed by hundreds of World Rank Fiends as even the Saintess took a pause to once again see Noah''s power. Yet to her shock, he didn''t utilize his skills as a Dimensional Beast Tamer to cause his beasts to go forth, and instead his glimmering golden blue body simply stared menacingly at the rushing groups of enemies! Stare? Was he nning on staring at his enemies to death? The quizzical looks of the Young Saintess and her two Protectors faded away soon enough as they sensed a horrendous mental powere out in waves from Noah, this power shockingly containing an aura of a Dao simr to their Young Saintess! This Dao...was also a Grand one! WAA! Ruler''s Emanation was cast first as it bellowed down in waves towards the cluster of Beasts, causing their bodies to shudder as Noah''s eyes zed with an intense light from the [Ancient Eye of Terror]. Their bodies felt utterly constrained as their defenses were heavily torn apart, and this was when Noah utilized his mental energy to form Constructs. It wasn''t beasts oryers of mental energy armor, but the area before them vibrated as it formed razor sharp spinning disks of mental essence that contained the Dao of Destruction! He couldn''t cause sword light to fly out and cut apart all enemies, be he could construct anything his imagination and Mana could handle as hundreds of spinning disks of mental essence filled with the essence of Destruction and a myriad ofws thundered down towards the ground of 15 Star Rank and hundreds of World Rank that rose up towards them like flies. ...BOOM! SQUELCH! Like meat going through a meat grinder, like a de cutting through grass...the Abyssal Fiends were decimated as they cried out! WAA! The glorious mental energy that Noah released flew down in waves as it decimated the beasts without prejudice, Annalise also moving at this time as her body appeared beside Noah and lit up with a white frosty light. The little sister that had reached STAR Rank didn''t want to be left behind by her brother as an instantter, the sky above them began to form beautiful Clusters of snow. Snow...that soon turned into elongated sharp spikes that began to rain down with fervor as they pierced and froze anything they came across! BOOM! It was a tremendous battle power at the same level if not more powerful than the Young Saintess, and it was being disyed by both Noah and Annalise as the watching Protectors felt shocked, much less the Young Saintess! This was the power of beings from an unknown n in the Empyrean Dimensional ne? They seemed more like groomed geniuses that would be the focus of powerful Conves! This wasn''t to mention the fact that one of them had already embarked on the path of a Grand Dao, something that only the Dao Children of Conves were given the right to do as the resources of the unique Dao Crystals were provided to them! The eyes of the Young Saintess glimmered with light as she looked at this scene, her body glimmering with sword light as she didn''t want to be left behind. Towards these beings that seemed to be on the same stage as her in power and Rank, she would at least fight on the same level with them and not tarnish her title as a young Saintess of the Glorious Light Conve! WAA! Her body descended down like a sharp sword towards the Minor Fiend Nest with tens of Star Rank Fiends and tens of thousands at the World and Soul Rank, their numbers very well being over half a million just in the surrounding mountains as it was bound to be a shocking battle. Noah''s units joined the fray a moment after his spectacr set of skills shredded apart 15 Star Rank Fiends at once, Chambeyne and the other Subjugated Blessed moving with powerful fervor as they released a level of battle power that caused them to be mistaken as the Prime Disciples of some powerful Conve from the Empyrean ne. Like this, Noah began to rapidly ramp up his efficiency of farming as under the protection of 2 beings multiple ranks above Star and being joined by a Young Saintess with a profound Dao of the Sword, he began clearing his first Fiend Nest as he was getting close to producing multiple STAR Rank experts around him in a short period of time! From the loot of the Abyssal ne and his Idle Mode Resources, he was bound to be fully stacked with STAR Ranked experts when he returned to the Sublunary ne as when this time came¡­ Chapter 143 - Unstoppable! I Under the might of Noah and his Units, the Young Saintess, Annalise, and the Subjugated Blessed, the Minor Fiend Nest that held over 100 STAR Ranked Abyssal Fiends was actually cleared in less than 20 minutes, thest beast falling from Noah''s Telekic Constructs as a spinning de filled with destruction bisected its body. From them, a myriad of loot was received as for the Young Saintess, she simply took the horns of the Abyssal Fiends as one tenth of her mission waspleted! She looked over Noah and Annalise after seeing their terrifying battle power, this Saintess bing even more proactive as she sought to collect more information about them. Noah and Annalise didn''t give much away even under the gaze of the powerful Protectors who didn''t interfere at any point during the battle, simply mentioning they didn''t stem from any powerful Conves as they only had a single Master who was a hermit himself in the Empyrean ne. The Young Saintess could only shake her head in frustration at such a reply as she steeled herself and put her focus on finding more Fiend Nests to quickly take down more powerful Abyssal Fiends. This provided for a unique period of time where Noah felt like he had a big brother protecting him from behind while all he had to do was hunt! The two Protectors behind the Young Saintess that they soon found the actual name of to be Elizabeth were extremely powerful, causing their movements in the Abyssal Realm to continue smoothly! It only took a few hours before they were able to wade through hundreds of thousands of Abyssal Fiends and delve into a deeper region that held another Minor Fiend Nest, the newly formed team going to fight against another blood pumping battle against over 100 STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends.. Simr to the end of thest battle, loot was taken by those who killed as Elizabeth- the Saintess, only took the Horns of the STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends. This meant that for Noah and his forces that killed more than 80% of all of the Abyssal Fiends, they were collecting a ridiculous amount of loot! In a short period of time, Noah calcted that he had gained enough Cores and Upgrade Crystals to produce 2 more STAR Rank Blessed and Units of the same level! But he held off for now as he couldn''t exin the appearance of two Rift Bosses from the disappearance of four- this being a secret of the Idle Gaming System! So he simply continued to collect loot while getting to know the background of Elizabeth and the Glorious Light Conve that she stemmed from. Any information about the higher Empyrean Dimensional ne was something good for Noah, as nearly all the enemies he faced in the Sublunary ne were titled Dimensional Rulers that were disciples of the powerful Conves from the Empyrean ne. So the hours passed as he familiarized himself with the Young Saintess, their hunt of the Abyssal Fiends continuing unhindered as along the way, they even met other beings moving alone or in groups! The Abyssal ne was extremely vast, and powerful existences from many Dimensions regrly entered it as even the outer periphery that Noah was ''delving deeper'' in was vast and more expansive than many worlds and realms. Noah got the chance to expand his sights and knowledge as they moved, going from Find Nest after Fiend Nest as he saw colorful skills utilizing the Sword from the hands of Elizabeth, while he himself continued to use his mental essence to decimate anything on his path. It wasn''t too long until after over nearly a day, they were on their tenth Fiend Nest. Burrowed into an enormous mountain, the auras of over 150 STAR Ranked Abyssal Fiends permeated out as after they delved into it and decimated its inhabitants, even the two Protectors behind Elizabeth couldn''t help but speak towards Noah. "We''ll thank you for helping the Young Lady on her task...and also recognize what a powerfulbatant you are in the STAR Rank!" WAA! Noah was standing on the head of the Tyrant Light Dragon collecting loot when the Protectors behind Elizabeth said this, raising his eyes as he spoke towards them with a smile. "Thank you, Elders. But I have my Master to thank for all I have." His words caused them to nod as Noah didn''t share much about his Master or where he was from, one of the Protectors continuing as his hand shed with light, pulling out a medallion from his storage space as the object shining with light flew towards Noah. "If ever you are in the Sunvoid Region of the Empyrean ne, use this to find the Glorious Light Concave of the Empyrean Realm. We forge powerful experts that can dive into the most powerful Elemental Dimensional Rifts and even the rare Dao Dimensional Rifts! It is our strongestbatants that also move in the depths of the Abyssal ne clearing powerful Abyssal Sages and Great Sages!" ¡­! Noah caught the object thrown at him, finding it to be a glimmering white medallion with the word [Light] inscribed on it. He looked at it with shining eyes as Elizabeth who was talking to Annalise at this moment also smiled while she spoke towards him. "We''d love to have both brother and sister pair there. The two Elders will let me know if ever you two make it there!" The trial of the Young Saintess was done after she collected the horns of over 1000 STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends, the over a day long hunting session with the powerful group of beings she found ending as a connection was formed at the end of it! Noah kept the white medallion as he nodded towards the Young Saintess and her protestors, watching as these being got close to each other as one of them pulled out a glimmering object that shone with an intense light, releasing a spatial essence that wrapped around the three of them as they disappeared soon after. They left behind a party of Noah, Annalise, and 4 STAR Rank Rift Bosses along with the Subjugated Blessed that was rapidly about to change after their disappearance. Noah looked at Annalise as the two siblings smiled at each other, having hit the jackpot with the hunting this past day while being watched over by Protectors multiple levels above the STAR Rank. The number of Cores collected after 10 Minor Fiend Nests that held an average of 100 STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends or more was just unbelievable, and this wasn''t to mention the loot of Upgrade Crystals that only Noah could obtain that went towards the fusion of his Units! Just from this loot in the past day and not taking into ount any of the loot from the only STAR Rank Dimensional Rift Noah had in idle mode...the number of new units he could fuse jumped up crazily as when he looked at the numbers, he could produce 6 STAR Rank Units! As for the number of Blessed, he could legitimately produce 10 of them with ease after he added up the STAR Rank Cores he would have from idle mode. "..." Noah found himself speechless when he did the math, the loot just from this previous day of reckless farming exceeding all possible parameters as the rewards obtained were simply too much. They could move without reservations before because they were under the watch of the Young Saintess''s Protectors, but if Noah went ahead and added the 6 new STAR Rank Rift Bosses and a full team of STAR Rank Blessed, what would he have to fear in the outer perimeters of the Abyssal ne?! "Little sis, are you proud of your brother? With all this, when we go back into the Sublunary ne in a few days...it will be fun to say the least!" Noah couldn''t help but have a beaming smile as he looked at his inventory while speaking to Annalise. The girl blew an icy breath from her red lips as she shook her head while looking at her brother''s demeanor. "Yes, yes. My brother is amazing." She rolled her eyes as she said these words, continuing soon after. "Just be sure to save some Cores for Rose, she''s managing everything on your behalf in the Ethereal Realm...and lord knows what you''re going to do for all the countless stars and realms of the Sublunary ne whenever you step on those oh so so powerful Dimensional Rulers." The little sister spoke of her brother decimating the forces of the Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne as if it was a given! She was filled with such boundless confidence with her brother as she truly said these words without batting an eye! "Don''t you worry about that, one thing at a time!" Noahughed as he replied to her and looked at the Mythical Life Phoenixes, Champions of the Light, and the Dragon Emperors before him, getting ready to fuse almost all of them into powerful new STAR Rank Rift Bosses as he was that much closer to achieving a full 14 STAR Unit Team. He waved his hands as a myriad of loot flowed out, glorious light beginning to animate in the skies of a small corner of the Abyssal ne as Noah nned to upgrade his Units and the ranks of the Subjugated Blessed! Thereafter, he would spend a few more days in the Abyssal ne as he continued to devour the resources of this ne, having already obtained more than enough knowledge from the party of the Young Saintess for how he can go in before he met any Abyssal Fiends at the NEBULA Rank. Such terrifying enemies were millions of miles deeper into the Abyssal ne from Noah''s position, so he would onlye across increasingly terrifying Minor Fiend Nests that held tens and eventually hundreds of STAR Rank Beasts as it would depend on his power and might for how many he could kill and take the loot of! And power...well, he had a lot of that! Chapter 144 - Unstoppable! II In the nigh endless red ins of the Abyssal ne. Annalise was situated on a powerful floating Light Emperor- an enormous humanoid Sentinel made of light that Noah had merged together to produce this star ranked spectacle. Her eyes were on the being that was also sitting on the back of another one of these powerful Rift Bosses, with him being on the back of an Auspicious Phoenix of Life that released a vibrant green aura of life! Many thoughts came into Annalise''s mind as she looked at such a scene. She wouldn''t so easily show it as it would just make his ego grow to an alreadyrger extent, but she looked up to her brother with such immense pride that all she wanted to do at this moment was be more like him! The things he had done the past weeks...they were things out of her wildest dreams as every time they achieved an even greater level, she continued to be amazed at where they were right now. From IRON Ranked Blessed just weeks back, now they were distinguished beings into the Stat Forging Realm, having grown to such an extent that deep in their origin and soul....they carried the force of a genuine Star. Furthermore, they had multiple Rift Bosses under theirmand as after the past few days went by since they separated from the Young Saintess and her Protectors, Noah had somehow managed to bring up a full team of 14 STAR Ranked Rift Bosses as all the Subjugated Blessed he brought into the Abyssal ne were also elevated to the Stat Rank! In just a matter of days! The power they could now wield was terrifying as they could wipe out Minor Fiend Nests with 100 Star Ranked Abyssal Fiends in less than 10 minutes with the terrifying force they carried. Noah was able to achieve this. Even though Annalise knew she had her own powerful Ice Queen Trait as she could also release stupendous power afterprehending and assimting multiple Universal Laws from the endless Law Crystals Noah gave her, she knew that everything she had was due to him! Even with all the help that she and Rose were giving by the side, nearly everything depended on him to get them where they were today. So she had the right to be extremely proud of her older brother! ''If mom and dad were here today...they would be even more proud than I could ever be!'' Annalise thought such a thing sadly as Noah, who was focused on an uing Fiend Nest a few miles away, looked over and spoke out to her lightly. "Sis, how can you have such an expression while standing on top of giant Titan made of light? You want to lead the attack on the Nest this time around?" The Transmigrator asked the sister he obtained in this new Universe as she only shook her head lightly, frost building around her as she looked ready for battle. "I''m only thinking of past times. How much longer do you n on us staying in the Abyssal ne? We''ve increasingly been running across too many beings from other Dimensions¡­" Annalise had a worried look as she thought of the many myriad of existences they came across aside from the Abyssal Fiends recently. Simr to how they met the Young Saintess, there were many beings from other Dimensional nes moving around the Abyssal ne, each one holding their own goals! Who knew when one of them would decide to be in a bad mood or a vile being, and if they were at a rank of NEBULA or higher...it would mean something terrifying happening to them suddenly. Noah seemed to understand Annalise''s concerns as he nodded while replying. "A day at most. We have a full team of STAR Rank Rift Bosses and Blessed that we can easily clear tens of Star Rank Abyssal Fiends. It''s no suspense what would happen when we go back to the Sublunary ne that holds just a few dozen STAR Rank disciples that haven''t even seen all that many battles!" RUMBLE Noah spoke down at the Disciples of Empyrean Dimensional ne that called themselves Dimensional Rulers, actually seeing them a peg lower than the Disciples like the Young Saintess Elizabeth who were sent into dangerous nes like the Abyssal ne. But those sent into the Sublunary ne were mostly too protected as they didn''t get to experience any hardships, with very few having unique circumstances like Catherine that was sent down and could only return after achievingprehension in the Grand Dao of Destruction. The number of STAR Ranked experts in the Sublunary ne was thus recycled over the tens and hundreds of years, each time disciples descending down and doing their trials before leaving and new ones recing them soon after! Thus, the number of Star Rank experts within the Sublunary ne always ranged around 30-100. At this current time...there were barely 50 within the Dimensional ne as when it came to such a number and the force that Noah had amassed¡­ A dominating reality was about to y out in the Sublunary ne! For Noah, this was only a minor point of his life in this new and expansive ce he had transmigrated in. This was because the Idle Gaming System seemed to have such grand ns in mind that even a ce as vast as the Sublunary ne didn''t enter its eyes. After all, his mission currently was to clear 100 Quintillion beings from the Abyssal ne as the most powerful of them were terrifying beings called Abyssal Hegemonies! ''One step at a time¡­'' He repeated such words to himself again as he moved with his sister for thest day in the Abyssal ne. Their gains were too much as aside from their knowledge expanding rapidly from meeting random experts flying over them or beings from other Dimensions like the Young Saintess Elizabeth...they learned how vast everything before them was! It was like being locked on the bottom of a well as outside it...something enormous and fantastical was waiting for them! Chapter 145 - A Glorious Return! I In the crimson skies of the Abyssal ne. Noah floated quietly as only Annalise and the Subjugated Blessed were beside him at this moment. The 14 powerful STAR Rank Units were recalled as their first expedition in the Abyssal ne...he had decided for this expedition toe to an end. Over a week had already passed at this point as they tore through millions of Abyssal Fiends, Noah''s count for the number of Fiends killed being 1.1 Billion at this time. 1.1 Billion! This number represented many things, as aside from the enormous amounts of Universal Law Crystals and Cores, it was a number that signified the beings that died through Noah''s own hands. Can you wrap your mind around that? Someone reaping the lives of over a billion beings? And yet Noah was just getting started as to clear the mission of the Abyssal ne Expedition....he had to wipe out 100 Quintillion Abyssal Fiends! He had yet toe across Dao Crystals from these beasts as they remained as elusive as ever, the ones he received from the Fate Spirit thest time he got a chance to visit the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne being the only Dao Crystals he came across. When he thought about this, the image of the Dimensional Ruler that wanted to get her hands on the Dao of Destruction that he had neglected for over a week appeared in his mind, but he wasn''t the least bit worried about this as at this moment, he had truly grown too much! He had enough STAR Rank Cores to cause the fruition of over 20 Blessed at this Rank, and the number of Universal Law Crystals he received from the Idle Mode of all his current Rifts as well as the few dropped rarely from some STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends were simply astonishing. He felt like a walking and talking back and his inventory was filled with glimmering loot, leaving him to only find ways of how to spend it! Of course, it was given to the Blessed around him as Annalise was on her way to assimting over eight Universal Laws, and his Subjugated Blessed were now ages stronger than anyone in their level as the Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne had gotten much too ferocious. But then there was himself. There was Noah and his own strength! If one were to ask him in what aspect he was strongest, it would forever remain the strength of his soul and consciousness as in the past few days, he had gotten into the habit of utilizing the [Soul Devour] ability of the Ancient Mind Inherent Skill. Through its usage, he found its stupendous effects as well as its drawbacks. One was the fact that the process of devouring the soul of another being ate up their Origin entirely, leaving nothing behind as Noah received no Loot or Skill Points for the Abyssal Fiends he used [Soul Devour] on. But this was a small price to pay for the shocking results of increasing the strength of his consciousness and soul! As his fighting style relied on his mental abilities, he had genuinely be terrifying as after absorbing the souls of millions of Abyssal Fiends, he found his attack power to have long since exceeded the power even a STAR Rank Rift Boss that was equivalent to 10 Blessed of the same rank. He actually put himself against the Tyrant Light Dragon...and came out unscathed as he even bullied it! To measure the scale of his mental strength after that as he continued to devour the souls and Origins of the Abyssal Fiends after that, he simply increased the number of Units that stood against him. Two days ago, he endured 3 Units with ease. After these days passed and he devoured a few million more Abyssal Fiends, he was now capable of unleashing mental attacks so terrifying that even 5 STAR Rank Units could be beaten ck and blue by him, purely through him utilizing abilities like [Ruler''s Emenation], [Field Master], [Telekic Constructs], [Armament], and [Ancient Eye of Terror]...even the powerful Rift bosses could not stand against him. When paired up with the [Hive Mind] ability that allowed him to tap into the Mana Reserves of his Subjugated...he became a terrifying weapon! All of it...due to [Soul Devour]. Noah had already designated this ability as the single most important one he had from his three Inherent Skills, standing far above [Hive Mind] as he wasn''t sure whether it was bugged or something, but to allow him to endlessly devour the souls of others...wouldn''t that mean he would be able to create the scene of being able to stand against a being of a higher rank with ease in only a matter of time? Even if he didn''t break through to the next rank, but his soul and consciousness were already much stronger than the being above him in rank and he reinforced it with his Dao of Destruction and all hisws...what was to stop him from dreaming of taking down a NEBULA Rank expert while he was still at the STAR Rank?! WAA! The mere thought caused his mental energy to leak as his surroundings trembled, Annalise towards her older brother with questioning eyes as he collected himself. Yes. He had grown much too powerful in the Abyssal Realm in just over a week. So much so that when he returned to the Sublunary ne...he expected nopetition! He just...had to do things cleanly and silently so that he didn''t anger multiple conves of the Empyrean Dimensional ne. "As easy as it can be...let''s go!" He spoke out with fervor as he sent his thoughts to the Idle Gaming System, finishing the Abyssal ne as the instant his thought was given, they were wrapped in a sh of light and disappeared! Instantly shuttled back towards a silent Sublunary ne that was about to be flipped over too many times in theing days! Chapter 146 - A Glorious Return! II Sublunary ne, Ethereal Realm. The beings that had entered the Abyssal ne Expedition for over a week returned at this time,ing back as entirely new beings! The power each of them wielded was terrifying as they caused the surrounding air to shake, Noah and Annalise settling in first before making any moves. The first set of moves made was just a few hours of rxation, Noah returning to the Imperial Castle for a feast he had already sent word of in advance before their return. It was only after a few hours of enjoying the finest delicacies that Noah began to carry out multiple actions at once. First and foremost was the strengthening of his forces, and this meant him taking out the few thousand STAR Cores to produce multiple experts of this rank! There was also the distribution of Universal Law Crystals to enhance their power, Rose enjoying these boons as well as the Ethereal Queen was also about to achieve a tremendous boost in power. When all of this was underway, Noah then made the move to go see the neglected Catherine as he utilized Spatial Puppet Master to return to her Chaotic Realm alone this time around. WAA! The silver light faded from him as he appeared beside the subjugated Blessed he left behind in the Realm of this Dimensional Ruler, the memories of this being this past week having told him how annoyed Catherine had been for not even seeing a speck of him! . The instant of his arrival, a shockingly powerful force appeared behind him as the fist of a STAR Rank expert made its way forward. BZZZT! The fist smashed onto Noah''s [Mental Field], the passive circr defense of mental energy actually stopping the strike of this expert with ease as Noah''s eyes shed with power a secondter, her figure being shuttled back a few meters! ¡­! "You¡­!" Catherine looked towards him in shock as she saw his calm demeanor and seamless deflection of power, seeing the powerful waves of a being in the STAR Rank as she could hardly believe it! Noah smiled lightly as he didn''t stay still, his body moving forward as he spoke. "Sorry for being gone for too long and not apanying you for the sparring sessions. I''ll make up for it today by going all out and using the essence of Destruction with power at the same rank as you!" WAA! Noah''s body shed with an obsidian light as he spoke, [Armament] covering his body as he gained +20,000% to attack and defensive boosts among other things, the essence of Destruction palpable on his body as he looked like a being with a metallic glint, fearlessly tearing through the skies to reach Catherine''s figure. BOOM! His fist seemed to be the only thing in front of Catherine''s eyes as it threatened to drown out her figure, her body instinctively reacting as the essence of Chaos wrapped around her, but she was actually pushed back and couldn''t withstand Noah''s strike, her figure shooting like a cannonball from the skies and into the dark seas beside the castle! ¡­! Her mind buzzed in shock as she barely got her bearings, only to see Noah''s figure rushing towards her in the dark sea with his voice ringing out once more. "You''ve fully assimted Chaos as you can already sense the Dao of Destruction. You''re a true genius indeed, and just need a small push." BOOM! Noah''s fist arrived again as it caused the sea water to burst open for an entire mile, Catherine''s figure sinking within as the essence of Destruction from Noah''s strikes ravaged her body and threatened to tear it apart! One must remember, this was the same Dimensional Ruler that had to lower her level a rank lower so that she could spar with Noah for days while getting infinitely close to the Dao of Destruction, yes now she could only take punches and defend passively under Noah''s strikes at the same level! She even wanted to ask for a time out, but Noah''s attacks were relentless as with enhanced soul and consciousness, just the single cast of [Armament] that used his mental energies to give him stupendous physical enhancements was more than enough to handle a high tier Dimensional Ruler with the reinforcement of a Grand Dao. BOOM! BOOM! Strikes continued to cause tremors deep in the sea as Catherine initially had a shocked and angered expression as Noah thrashed her. But this expression very quickly changed. From shock and anger...it soon turned to excitement as this battle junkie began to feel Destruction in a true sense, Noah not holding back as every strike shook her to her core! WAA! The particles of chaos roiled around her as a Flower of Chaos bloomed to stand against Noah''s punches, but the petals of the flower were torn as the single obsidian metallic hand covered by Armament was able to smash onto the body of Catherine once more. "Huk!" Red blood dyed the dark seas as Noah''s voice reverberated out under the water. "Destruction...the same essence that is currently ravaging your defenses and might take your life at any moment." BOOM! "Feel it closely, and try to grasp it as an even greater form of Chaos!" ¡­! Noah was voicing out domineeringly as he continued to thrash the Dimensional Ruler, blood dying the seas as even at this moment, Catherine''s gaze remained that of excitement. This was because she had an inkling of something. She felt like she wasn''t too far away. The more her body was ravaged, the more she felt like it was getting closer to her! With every strike that Noah threw, her Origin seemed to be calling out to the essence ravaging her body as she reached out, almost grasping onto something wondrous. [Ruler''s Emenation]. BZZT! Noah called out lightly as the seawater around them trembled, the pressure containing the essence of the Grand Dao of Destruction pressing onto Catherine''s figure on all sides as she faced heavy suffocation! This was the strength of the being that had devoured millions of souls of Abyssal Fiends. This was the strength of a soul that far exceeded all others in the same level! Under such intense pressure, Noah''s fist appeared in her clear dark eyes. The fist carried with it Destruction, and the surrounding pressure pressed onto her with the very same Destruction. Facing such a deadly attack, Catherine actually...didn''t throw out a counter attack as Noah''s fistnded directly on her chest. ¡­! His fist sunk in as her chest caved in, the force spreading outward as it shattered multiple ribs and bones, the Origin of this Dimensional Ruler nearly shattered! But in this state. Her eyes zed with light as she muttered weakly. "So this is Destruction¡­" RUMBLE Her weakened body and soul that seemed about to fade seemingly sensed something with her words, a shining ck light erupting from her a secondter as Noah stopped attacking. It was the light of Destruction! On this day, Noah actually thrashed around one of the most powerful STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers from the Sublunary ne, and when one thought about the fate of the ones he considered his enemies...it was bound to be a hellish next few days for them! Chapter 147 - The Terror In The Dark! I Naturalprehension of the Grand Dao! It was something that very few beings could even imagine doing, but the Dimensional Ruler Catherine had done it under the threat of her own life! A genius that had fully assimted the Law of Chaos as she already saw wisps of destruction, shepleted her mission on this day as under the ck sea...her origin trembled while releasing weak waves of Destruction. "Haha!" Sheughed out boisterously as her gaze locked with Noah''s calm expression. "You''re something else...reaching the STAR Rank in such a short period of time and evening out stronger in this rank as well! I don''t know what you have nned, but a deal is a deal!" WAA! The energy around their bodies bubbled forth powerfully as they rose from the sea, returning to the dark skies towards the floating castle as Catherine''s figurended on it while still healing her torn up body.. "You''ve kept up your end of the bargain, and I''ll keep mine." Her body healedpletely at this time as while she reveled in the essence of Destruction that had begun to bud within her, she spoke to Noah seriously. "Ie from the Tenebrous Conve in the Empyrean ne, a conve that prefers to move in the dark as we are one of the strongest forces currently moving in the Dimensional ne!" "As for me...my father is one of the Prime Elders within this Conve, and this is the reason that unlike every other disciple who was sent to the Subunary ne with their trials being to pick up and assimte multiplews, I had to instead tryprehending a Grand Dao." As she spoke, she waved her hands to call forth the essence of destruction weakly, the smile never leaving her face as she continued. "If you wish, I can mention you to my Father as he would be quick to ept a genius like you, or if you want to stay hidden you can use me as an intermediary connection to a powerful Conve in the Empyrean Dimensional ne." "If you want to get your hands of specific Universal Law Crystals and have others to trade, or even if you obtain Dao Crystals or rare Treasures and you want to exchange them for others...anything is possible with the powerful Conves in the Empyrean ne as the main currency revolves around Law Crystals and Dao Crystals. If you have enough, you can buy anything!" WAA! Her gaze was filled with an intense light as Noah nodded with a light smile while listening to her, taking in her words and instead asking about something else entirely. "When do you n to contact your father that your mission is done? How will that process take ce?" Yes. He was wondering whether the eyes of a powerful being would be gazing on the Sublunary ne in the next few days as he wanted to make grand movements within at this time! Catherine seemed to understand what he was asking about as she smiled brilliantly. "I don''t know why you''ve chosen to make these Disciples running around calling themselves Dimensional Rulers in this Sublunary ne as your enemies, but as my benefactor...I will tell you to be careful on how you act against them. They have connections to powerful Conves that might not care if they are killed, but others might find trouble with you whenever you step into the Empyrean ne!" "But...I won''t be reaching out to my Father yet. When the timees, I will just step on the Stairway of Ascension to return to the Empyrean ne. For now, I''ll consolidate myprehensions in the Dao of Destruction and give you whatever time you need." Noah nodded at her words as he craned his neck, his figure about to leave as it became covered with a spatial light once more. Catherine looked at this scene as the excitement in her eyes still hadn''t died down after sessfullypleting her trial, voicing out lightly before he left. "Won''t you apany me to celebrate this grand achievement? You could take some time to rx before you rush out to do whatever you have nned..." Her voice held a tinge of a hidden meaning as Noah looked at the figure of this Dimensional Ruler, her dress still wet from their fight under the sea as her curves were disyed very clearly! Noah''s eyes shone while picking up these details as he locked his gaze unto her, the spatial light surrounding him only getting brighter. The daughter of a Prime Elder of a Conve in the Empyrean Dimensional ne...Noah thought about such a thing as his mind of transmigrator nearly pushed him to do many things, but he kept his goals clear at this time as the spatial light wrapped around him entirely while his voice rang out. "Maybe in a few days if your offer is still open¡­" WAP! With that, he disappeared from the chaotic realm as he only left behind a Subjugated Blessed as an anchor to use Spatial Puppet Master again along with a Dimensional Ruler that he actually saw through the eyes of the subjugated Blessed that she had...a disappointed expression after he left! But his mind remained clear as he arrived back in the Ethereal Realm. He definitely wanted to y, but he would only do so during his idle time when everything was settled. At this moment, his cerulean blue eyes were burning brightly as he wanted to make a move against the high and mighty Dimensional Rulers of the three factions of the Sublunary ne...and he wanted to subjugate all of these beings as he would be the only Dimensional Ruler to stand above them! His gaze turned towards the skies and earth of the Ethereal Realm as he looked at the many Subjugated Blessed that were still absorbing the STAR Rank Cores and Law Crystals he brought from the Abyssal ne. There were dozens of them as whenever these beings broke through to the STAR Rank in the next few hours, he would take them all as he began to move against the powerful beings in the Sublunary ne! He nned to move with a heavy and powerful force that could dominate an entire faction in an instant as he did everything in the dark, his enemies not even knowing what was happening as the only thing they would see would just be his dominating blue eyes that made them his Subjugations! Chapter 148 - The Terror In The Dark! II Hours passed as the river of fate and the sea of chaos of the Sublunary ne continued to churn. The Dimensional Rulers that could understand Fate and Chaos still felt the same as they had been feeling over the past weeks since they sensed an unknown enemy that would threaten their dominion, and never did they know that their enemy was about to move at this moment! In the skies of the Ethereal Realm, powerful auras rose forth one after another as in a short period of a few hours, multiple STAR Rank experts appeared silently. Most of them were on the same level if not more powerful than those calling themselves Dimensional Rulers, as they were enjoying the boost of +3,000% to their power and abilities as part of Noah''s [Mind Guider] skill! They were the perfect emotionless killing machines as they followed orders without a single deviation, and all of them were ready to be mobilized at this moment as they looked towards a singr being in the skies. Noah had been getting everything ready these past few hours as his Subjugated World Rank Dimensional Rulers that he left behind had been feeding him a ton of information, with his current focus being on the Order of Primal Dimensional Rulers where Chambeyne was one of the few STAR Rank beings within it. His disappearance this past week had of course caught the attention of all the experts around, causing them to have increased vignce as they wondered if their enemy had silently moved against one of them and gotten to them without anyone realizing! Even though they just found out, they werete to it as Noah was already on the move. His cerulean blue eyes looked at Chambeyne and the dozens of STAR Rank Subjugated Blessed behind him as he breathed out slowly. . It was time. The number of beings he was looking at meant a great deal of things. They signified powerful weapons he could use, reserves of mana he could tap into with [Hive Mind], existences that vastly increased the strength of soul and consciousness the more that he added and the stronger they were...they represented a great deal of this as at this moment, Noah only saw them as an opportunity! He saw the entire |Mind Dominator| ability as an opportunity to do things others could only imagine, and now it was time to start on the next step. It was time to fully move against the Dimensional Rulers. "Move out!" WAA! His voice thundered in the minds of all the Subjugated Blessed, all of them being wrapped with a spatial light as they disappeared from the Ethereal Realm. Noah looked at Annalise thereafter as she nodded towards him with a look of resolution, extending the spatial essence towards her as well as he utilized [Spatial Puppet Master] to teleport a shockingly powerful force of dozens of STAR Ranked experts onto multiple Realm Clusters under the control of the Primal Dimensional Rulers! Noah had the World Ranked Dimensional Rulers under his control coincidentally be in the same Realm Clusters where the STAR Rank Rulers were located, and he divided his forces at this moment as he nned to conduct a simultaneous attack on all of the Rulers within this faction first. There were 8 Star Rank beings in the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, and there were actually two pairs who were coincidentally together at this moment. Noah had two teams of 10 STAR Rank Subjugated Blessed teleported onto the Realms where 2 Dimensional Rulers were together, actually putting 20 of his experts that were over ten times more powerful than a normal Star Rank against 4 of the 8 Rulers! The remaining 4 that were looking over their Realm Clusters each got a team of 6 Blessed to rush towards and surround them, 24 Blessed being utilized for them as Noah had given specificmands for what should be done. Themands were to beat them ck and blue until even their mothers could not recognize them, and then leave them in a state of near death as he woulde to use [Subjugate] on them thereafter! One also must not forget...he hadn''t yet even deployed his 14 STAR Rank Units that held power more powerful than even 10 normal Blessed! With the powerful forces he had raised, Noah could do many things with ease as he didn''t even have to move himself! But for the sake of cleanliness and making sure everything went smoothly, he and Annalise still appeared with the party of 10 Subjugated Blessed that had already appeared in the Realm where two STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers were. Their shocking auras undted around them as they silently moved forward. ---- Dimensional Rulers Aiken and Dilwali were two friends that stemmed from neighboring Conves in the Empyrean ne, and they were one of the few disciples sent to the Sublunary ne for their trials while others were either tasked with missions in the Abyssal ne or other smaller Dimensions that held chaotic existences. Therge majority of disciples even remained in the Empyrean ne as their trials would involve clearing powerful Elemental Dimensional Rifts or for extinguished disciples like Saints, Saintesses, and the Prime Disciples...they would even get the rare chance to delve into the Dao Dimensional Rifts that only the powerful Conves controlled! Dilwali had an angered expression as he spoke to Aiken. "My Martial Uncle pulled the strings to get me this easy mission in this Sublunary ne that barely has any danger, and yet now we have to sit on our toes for a possible one we don''t even know about?!" ¡­! His body was letting out strong waves of power at the star rank as he looked towards Aiken that was sipping a drink thoughtfully within the Grand Emperor''s Castle that Aiken had built for himself. This being sneered while he continued sipping his drink and spoke. "Just these backward natives being worried for nothing, what enemies could stand against us? Do they really think a native of this Sublunary ne that barely has any unique rifts can amount to much?" The cup in his hands shattered as he spoke, about to continue berating the natives of the Sublunary ne when his gaze suddenly changed drastically, bing one of shock and then pure horror in just seconds as he spread his aura to their surroundings! Dilwali also rose up with shock as before these two beings knew it, the castle they were in was surrounded by the auras of more than 10 foreign STAR Rank experts. A terrifying voice then resounded in the surroundings as it carried with it immense power and coldness, this voice being followed by the descent of horrendous attacks that caused the origins of the two Dimensional Rulers to tremble! "I think the backward natives of this ne can definitely amount to something." RUMBLE! With these words, the pressure of a being more powerful than any being at the STAR Rank descended along with the attacks of more than 10 STAR Rank Subjugated Blessed. All against 2 Dimensional Rulers of this same rank. It was overkill to an insane degree as one had to hope that the two would even survive the first wave of attacks! Chapter 149 - A Blue Light Of Dominance! I An entire castley in shambles and mes as two sorry figures could barely have their life force picked up from within. BZZT! The rubble was cleared and pushed out expertly as a certain terrifying mental pressure descended, the figures of the beings with life forces that could barely be discerned feeling a horrendous force wrapping around them as their bodies were moved into the sky soon after! It was the wondrous Attractive Force of mental energy as Noah merely waved his fingers! "Huk¡­!" The two STAR Rank beings let out sounds nobody could understand as their bodies trembled, Noah looking at them calmly as his cerulean blue eyes began to glow. "So this is what the oh so powerful Dimensional Rulers can amount to¡­" WAA! The moment his words ended, a wondrous blue light shed out as the impossibly strong soul and consciousness of Noah descended onto the minds of the heavily injured STAR Rank beings! It took less than a second after that...and these 2 Dimensional Rulers were Subjugated. One must know, less than 30 seconds had passed since the attack began! 10 Subjugated Blessed along with Noah and Annalise appeared as they released a singr wave of attack, and Noah had to even deviate his attacks and actually surround the bodies of the Dimensional Rulers with his essence as it looked like they were about to die from all the attacks. Now...theyy before him in submission as a spatial light began to cover his body once more. He wasn''t done. That was just 2 of the 8 down, and his figure shed away from this world with Annalise as they arrived into another Realm soon after. THRUM! This time, they arrived near skies that seemed to be burning, 2 figures weakly surrounded by mes all around in the sky as they looked like they could drop out at any second. These were the other party of Dimensional Rulers that came in two, and Annalise made a move the moment of their arrival as she called out softly. [Ice Age]. ¡­.WAA! Her words caused blue essence to wildly bloom from her as it went on to cover everything, the mes in the skies extinguished as everything became frozen! Icy ciers appeared as the bodies of the 2 fighting Dimensional Rulers trembled, only to find ice wrapping around the lower halves of their injured bodies as they could barely move. A figure of a being with glowing blue eyes then appeared above them as he realized a terrifying pressure from these eyes, a consciousness of extreme proportions descending onto them as a secondter...they were Subjugated! So far, it had been less than a minute since Noah''s attacks had begun, and over half of all the STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers of the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers had fallen. Ah! He continued forward relentlessly as at this moment, he shed towards four different Realms consecutively, and each of them had a simr scene. It was the scene of his 6 Subjugated Blessed surrounding a single beaten up Dimensional Ruler that was barely clinging to life, and Noah simply arrived into their locations as his terrifyingly strong consciousness descended onto their minds and Subjugated them! They truly couldn''t stand against Subjugated Blessed that could disy 3,000% in abilities and power- a number that was only brought to fruition from the stupendous Skill Points obtained in the Abyssal Dimensional ne. Each time that Noah teleported in and used [Subjugate] took less than 10 seconds, and he had teleported to 4 Realms as he repeated these same actions...taking him less than a minute to dominate the minds of the other 4 Dimensional Rulers of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. "..." That was a total of two minutes to dominate a faction of the Sublunary ne. A total of 2 minutes for Noah to bring under his control the top most figures that controlled cast stretches of Star and Realm Clusters within this ne! Noah was able to do this so well as the World Rank Blessed he had dominated stemmed from the Primal Dimensional Rulers, and he expertly had them in the Realms where these Star Rank experts were located as he was able to take them down within seconds. It was only the results of unique preparations and of course...immense power. The Abyssal ne Expedition had truly made Noah''s power exponentially increase as even he had underestimated thebination of what [Hive Mind] and [Soul Devour] could actually bring him. Immense reserves of Mana he could tap into, and a skill that he considered definitely bugged as it should not allow him to endlessly be able to devour an unlimited number of souls to constantly strengthen himself! Yet he had such skills. And here he was now. He let out a light breath as on the third minute since his attack began, his cerulean blue eyes shone even more as while reading the memories of the 8 newly Subjugated Dimensional Rulers, he sent amand to them. "Gather all of the World Rank Rulers under you within the next hour." ¡­! He gave a deadlymand that sealed the fate of the remaining Rulers within the faction of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, his aura ring widely at this moment as it looked like it wasn''t done. As he put a faction under him in minutes, he checked the states of all the Subjugated Blessed he deployed as his thoughts entered their minds again. Many of them separated as they began to silently rush in different directions, each having the mission of infiltrating the stars and realms of the other 2 factions as Noah was simply about to repeat what he had done just now. Silently and without a single thing being noticed, he wanted to put all of these powerful beings under him! After that...it would be an easy thing to manage the Sublunary ne however he wished, while he obtained the utter loyalty of disciples of Numerous Conves that he could now infiltrate whenever he chose to expand his power in the Empyrean Dimensional ne. WAA! Noah''s thoughts came to a stop at this moment as his eyes looked at his hands. They were shaking. Not just his hands, but even his heart and mind were buzzing! It was the buzzing of excitement, the buzzing of Conquest that he came to understand for the first time since he transmigrated! This feeling....felt too good! Chapter 150 - A Blue Light Of Dominance! II In the minds of the few Rulers capable of understanding Fate and Chaos, foreboding feelings sunk into their minds at this moment. It was the few powerful beings within the Keepers of Order and Fate and the Devoted Rulers! They felt like something was wrong...but they didn''t know what! Within their pristine Realms and abodes they enjoyed, they could only stare out thoughtfully as they wondered what was wrong, but they would nevere to find out what it was until it was toote. They understood their own power as they believed that even against a powerful enemy, they could stand their ground against them and even triumph, or at least be able to call for aid on the chance that they couldn''t. So nobody anticipated the fact that an overwhelming force of power would move against all of the Dimensional Rulers of the faction at once as they defeated it within a few minutes! Nobody expected the faction of the Primal Dimensional rulers that had stood strong for thousands of years, having cycles of Rulers that were Disciples descending from the Empyrean ne for their trials, and many natives that had ascended into the same ne after they achieved enough power at the STAR Rank. Such was the significance of the faction that had fallen. In the vast cluster of stars and Realms that were under the Primal Dimensional Rulers, there were grand movements urring as a myriad of WORLD Rank experts were summoned by the powerful Rulers above them. They did not tarry or dy as they rushed towards the central Realm that the powerhouses of the Primal Dimensional Rulers would meet. "Do you know the reason for this abrupt meeting?" A vivacious woman d in loose clothes asked a Ruler beside her, a young expert that nced at her in the corner of his eyes as he also stepped into the golden hall where many beings with the same identities as them entered. "No clue. Everyone''s been tense about some unknown enemy that only those proficient in fate and chaos can discern...I think it''s all just a ruse to keep the lower ranked Rulers in order!" WAA! The WORLD Rank Dimensional Ruler spoke under his breath as the woman rolled her eyes, but they held a sharp light within as she nodded. They stepped into the grand hall as the auras of over 20 World Rank experts could be felt, all of their eyes looking towards the line up of 9 STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers that stood with sagely demeanors in the center of the hall. When thest two World Rank Rulers stepped into the hall, a brilliant light shield rose up and covered the grand hall they were in, nothing seeming out of the ordinary as such a shield was normally put in ce when important talks were taking ce. What was out of ce was that a secondter...spatial fluctuations erupted in front of the STAR Rank Rulers as a being appeared calmly out of nowhere! WAA! His appearance caused the essence within the bodies of all the WORLD Rank Rulers to bubble forth with caution, but they saw that their more powerful predecessors didn''t react negatively to the appearance of this being. They actually watched on in shock as Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne and the other 8 Rulers that Noah had just Subjugated...actually looked reverential towards Noah as they dropped to their knees and kneeled down reverentially towards him! ¡­! The most powerful Rulers of the Primal Dimensional Rulers...and they were bowing towards a single being. Dark hair billowing calmly on his head, eyes deeply blue as they drew one in if they looked for too long. While the WORLD Rank Rulers were watching in shock and stupor at the scene of the being kneeling towards him, these eyes shed a brilliant blue as a terrible pressure descended! [Ruler''s Emenation] was cast, this horrendous pressure of a skilling onto the shoulders of lesser ranked beings and stemming from the soul of a being that had devoured the souls of millions of Abyssal Fiends. BOOM! The over 20 or so WORLD Rank experts couldn''t even stand on their two feet with the descent of this pressure, buckling to the ground as they could discern a terrifying pressure to be constricting every single part of their bodies! Their mental states were thrown into disarray as an instantter, a blue light of dominance shone from the exceedingly blue eyes of the being that Dimensional Rulers were kneeling towards. [Subjugate] was cast. Under the pressure that scrambled their minds, this blue light permeated into the minds of all the WORLD Rank Rulers as in the next few seconds¡­ "Ah¡­" Over 20 new Subjugations joined Noah''s ranks. RUMBLE! His mind felt an explosion of power s it was enhanced further with the addition of even more subjugated beings, Noah raising his head as he stopped the terrifying pressure while staring out of the grand hall he was in, his eyes stretching towards the vast stars outside this Realm. Just like that, the major powerhouses of the Primal Dimensional Rulers had fallen to him. Too easily! Just with these actions, he had gained countless amounts of Worlds and Realms he could delve into for their Rifts. Just like this, he had upied one-third of the Sublunary ne in influence as all he had to do now was finish the other 2 Factions! And what better way was there than to collect them all together like he had just done so now with these World Rank Rulers? What better way than to call them to the Sanctuary at the center of this ne that was right below the Golden Stairway of Ascension for the grand battle as Noah took the reigns of an entire ne?! Just the mere thought of it caused Noah to smile as his eyes returned to his surroundings where multiple Dimensional Rulers were kneeling. Amidst all of them, if he couldn''t be titled the strongest Dimensional Ruler, just who would be worthy of such a title?! Chapter 151 - A Speedrun Domination Of A Dimensional Plane! I A day passed. During this period of time, the factions truly had begun to feel restless as hours before, another meeting was called for the most powerful beings to gather in the Sanctuary! Of course, the source of this meeting was from the faction of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, with their recent change in leadership not being known by anyone as the STAR and a significant amount of the World Rank experts began to arrive in the enormous floating structure right below the Golden Stairway of Ascension. At this moment, Noah and Annalise were rxing in a nearby star as Noah merelymunicated with his Subjugated Blessed to put things in order and make sure they were going smoothly. In the past day, he had been busy moving across the Realms and worlds under the influence of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, and he was able to add hundreds of Dimensional Rifts that ranged from Soul to the STAR Rank! A majority of them represented Soul Rank Rifts as 15 were at the World Rank, and he was able to add 3 more STAR Rank Dimensional Rifts under his belt. 3 more Rifts simr to the one that Chambeyne was overseeing! It meant a quadruple in the amount of STAR Rank Cores he would be receiving, but the number of Upgrade Crystals was what made him the most excited as if he gathered enough of these types of Rifts under his belt, he would soon be able to collect enough daily Upgrade Crystals to be able to fuse two Units to the peak of the Star Rank. After this, it was the simple fusion to make them existences at the NEBULA Rank as when that was finished, Noah could just enjoy life! But with the vast space of the Primal Dimensional Rulers under him, Noah was already making use of it and going through its Rifts while waiting for the experts of the other 2 factions to gather in the ce they called a Sanctuary. "Brother...what do we do after all this?" Beside him, Annalise had a thoughtful expression as this girl tried to grasp the meaning of their actions, Noah only looking at her with a light smile as he replied while affirming for himself his resolution. "Don''t think too far ahead. For now, we''re just putting all the Dimensional Rulers under our control as after that, we have to clean up the Sublunary Dimensional ne of their ways." Yes! No more forcing natives to delve into Rifts and risk their lives just to give the loot to Realm Overseers. No more forcedbor that was forged in the blood and tears of others! But all of this...was just a side goal for Noah. Yes, he was a transmigrator with morals, and he was also a being that had been gradually changed with the ways of this new ce he arrived in. Aside from everything else, he first and foremost wanted to...idle while obtaining immense power. He didn''t ever want another being to be able to cause him to kneel as he had to bend to their will or die! With him literally taking over the rulership of an entire Dimensional ne and putting the disciples of numerous Conves under him...he was already at a starting point others could only imagine. When he sessfully brought all the Dimensional Rulers under him, he could move them in a myriad of ways as with his connections to Catherine and the Young Saintess he met in the Abyssal ne, all he had to do was sit back in the Sublunary ne that had no enemies while enjoying the passive umtion of loot! He could then use his absurd wealth in Universal Law Crystals that was the currency of the Empyrean Dimensional ne to buy all sorts of materials and treasures through his connections, bing an unrivaled big boss in this ne unbeknownst to any beings in the Empyrean ne or the even higher Celestial ne. With the Idle Gaming System, all he had to give himself was time as power and wealth would juste to him. So towards Annalise''s question of what they would do after all this? There were actually too many answers. Noah turned towards her as he thought of wondrous idle life in the future while he rose in ranks faster than any Geniuses within this Chaotic Universe, speaking out lightly as he rose up. "Let''s go see if we can wrap up this conquest of the Sublunary ne smoothly, and then we can start implementing all the changes we want¡­" His expression was that of a smile, but his words were extremely dangerous as he looked towards a far away region where the enormous humanoid statue the size of a was floating silently below the Golden Stairway of Ascension. The powerful forces of the other 2 factions had gathered there at this time along with him Subjugated Blessed that mingled with them as if nothing was wrong. The preparations for thisst battle of the Sublunary ne were in y as it seemed Noah was speed running just how fast he could put every powerful being under his control! Annalise rose up as well, her eyes shing with a chilling light as a silver spatial essence wrapped around the two siblings and caused them to disappear. Their aim was of course the Sanctuary, many extinguished beings having arrived at this very moment as they all talked amongst each other waiting for the meeting to start! Powerful Dimensional Rulers who were disciples of powerful Conves, being that walked with the demeanor of kings as they released an air of majesty. You even had the most powerful beings in the Devoted Rulers and the Keepers of Order and Fate that were proficient in thews of Fate and Chaos, and even they didn''t know what wasing as their assimtion ofws told them nothing of theing enemy! With the arrival of all of these beings, Noah and Annalise''s figures appeared in a region of space a few miles away from the Sanctuary. A single World Rank Subjugated Blessed was the marker that Noah had used, waving his hands to dismiss this Blessed while he also silently called out the powerful Units he controlled. He didn''t call forth all of them as he just brought out the advanced version of the Champions of the Light that had be Star Sentinels, these Units keeping their look of enormous golden colored humanoid existences made of light. The only change now was that their bodies swirled with numerous golden runic circles that weaved all around them majestically! Noah called out all four of them as these beings had a unique crowd control skill aside from their healing,? attack, and defensive capabilities. They held an ability called [Illuminating Barrier of Light] that had wondrous capabilities, allowing its user to establish an area within a barrier where they received constant heals and support, and this barrier also had an isting function! An isting function that interfered and stopped any and allmunications. This was the reason Noah called them out, the four Starlight Sentinels spreading out in four directions with the Sanctuary at the center as they would be the first ones to make a move and enact an Illuminating Barrier of Lightrger than a! Such a task would put them out ofmission for a while, but Noah only needed this small while to silently dominate the 30 or so Star Rank experts within the Sanctuary. Just a small while to put the strongest existences of the Sublunary ne under him! "Let''s finish this!" RUMBLE His voice reverberated out powerfully as he moved! Chapter 152 - A Speedrun Domination Of A Dimensional Plane! II Within the head of the enormous human shaped structure that was the Sanctuary. An air of regality and majesty permeated within as the prideful auras of Dimensional Rulers ran rampant, the powerful Rulers at the peak of STAR discussing amongst each other as they looked towards the returning figure of Chambeyne and two Rulers that held the reigns of the Primal Dimensional Rulers. "Henry, why call forth another meeting just days after thest one? Have you found something we haven''t?" The voice of the Dimensional Ruler that was controlling the Keepers of Order and Fate spoke towards a being named Henry, this Henry being one of the 8 Dimensional Rulers that Noah had defeated in thest day with ease! He was already a Subjugated Blessed, but the Rulers around him looked towards him quizzically as if nothing was wrong in the least. Henry smiled widely as he looked at the being that just spoke. "Dimensional Ruler Hyden¡­" He began to speak and call out to the powerful STAR Rank Rulers of the Keepers of Order and Fate as well as those from the Devoted Rulers. "Dimensional Ruler Zidan...Riley¡­" All the ones he names were disciples that stemmed from powerful Conves in the Empyrean Realm, beings with high prospects and power in their own right as in the future, they wanted to write their own stories and leave a grand impact on their path of power. "Dimensional Ruler Catherine¡­" Henry even looked over to the unimpressed figure of Catherine that didn''t keep it hidden that she didn''t want to be here, her brows raising as she turned towards the Subjugated Blessed addressing everyone! "I called this meeting today...to get everyone here to experience something beautiful!" RUMBLE! His expression was that of fanaticism towards the end, the faces of the Dimensional Rulers changing as they looked at him quizzically, but they wouldn''t have the chance to pay attention to this as a secondter, they felt the immense usage of droves of essence all around them as the surroundings of the Sanctuary shone bright gold! Gold. Where would such gold being from? Naturally, it was from the [Illuminating Barrier of Light] that isted beings andmunications in a certain area, the mana of 4 STAR Rank Rift Bosses being utilized in their entirety as they granted a few minutes ofplete istion. No soul or words would be able to escape this region until the golden barriers currently surrounding the Sanctuary were taken down! The myriad of powerful beings had their gazes turn stern as they noticed the phenomenon, but before they could even do anything, they felt powerful spatial fluctuations as their eyes flew towards a certain location, seeing the materializing figures of two beings. WAA! With a glimmer of silver light, the figure of a dark haired young man with brilliant blue eyes appeared alongside a young woman with crimson hair, and yet this young woman wore a white dress as she had icy particles emte around her as she alone caused the temperature to melt! "What is this? Who are you?!" THRUM! Dimensional Ruler Hyden, one of the powerful STAR Rank experts that ruled the Devoted Rulers alongside two others was the one that spoke boldly at Noah''s and Annalise''s appearance, his body bing encased in a golden armor while he spoke as he seemed ready for battle! Catherine also looked towards the figures of the brother and sister duo she had always seen in her chaotic realm as he had the face of utter stupor and shock, not thinking this guy had the guts to actually gather everyone here and do this. With Dimensional Ruler Hyden in the lead, all the other powerful Rulers focused as their bodies buzzed with power, looking towards Noah and Annalise carefully as when they noted their STAR Rank auras, they were only surprised because of how young they looked, but that was it. At this moment, they were trying to figure out the identity of these two beings! Disciples that just descended down who they didn''t know about? Or¡­ "I''ll ask again...who are you?!" WAA! Dominating might was released from Dimensional Ruler Hyden as the auras of fate and chaos began to swirl around him, his figure releasing intense might that would hinder anymon STAR Rank existence as towards such bold behavior...Noah only looked at him and the other Dimensional Rulers calmly. He looked at each of them as he saw the majestic demeanor and the golden armor encasing the one called Hyden. He looked at the other Dimensional Rulers that he knew stemmed from a myriad of Conves that wanted a safe training environment for some disciples, or the other Rulers that simply wanted easy missions! All of them undoubtedly had their own life stories and beliefs of themselves, and Noah could have very well walked in and have a prolonged showdown where they boast their power when they see him, get surprised at his own power when he reveals it, and then they all work together on a glorious fight to repel an unknown enemy. No such thing would be happening now though. Noah cared not for the character of these beings. He cared not what they believed or stood for, only knowing that they were beings he had to Subjugate and bring under control in order to fully enjoy his idle life in this Universe he had transmigrated in! With this in mind, he made his move as he looked at the glorious figure of Dimensional Ruler Hyden that was looking at him threateningly while beginning to speak up again, his hand flying up. "Very wel- Huk!" Before Dimensional Ruler Hyden could even finish speaking, he saw Noah''s hands reach out towards him as a secondter, a terrifying force wrapped around his body and uncontrobly caused him to fly forward! SHAA Like a ma, he flew towards the outstretched hand of Noah as before he knew it, the golden armor he was encased in became constricted and shattered with utter ease as his neck somehow was sped within the outstretched hand a secondter. ¡­! Shock and stupor spread throughout as many didn''t even get a chance to understand what happened! The might of the STAR Rank Ruler was actually offset so easily as he fell into the enemy''s hands without so much as a struggle. Just...what being had arrived into the Sanctuary?! Meanwhile, Noah looked at the being struggling within his hands as he released his immense consciousness strengthened from devouring millions upon millions of fiends, the sheer mental pressure alone he released being enough to give? STAR Rank a difficult time. While he held the powerful Dimensional Ruler that had been speaking out boldly, Noah increased the mental pressure as the limbs of this majestic Ruler began to snap and deform before everyone, their defenses not even being able to withstand his immense soul strength as he was mutted while everyone watched. "I came to kill." WAA! His voice came out as it caused the surroundings to be even colder, his gaze impassive as he looked at everyone while magic circles bloomed behind him, the enormous figures of Rift Bosses letting out terrifying waves of power erupting out as a momentter, the auras of tens of STAR Rank Subjugated Blessed joined them! "I came...to dominate the rulers of this Sublunary ne!" ¡­! Noah spoke lightly as the moment his words finished, a field of ice erupted from Annalise as the entire area around them began to shine a beautiful white, a shocking amount of Blessed and Rift Bosses surrounding a measly 30ish STAR Rank beings that thought of themselves as important experts....but they were about to receive an extremely harsh reality check! Chapter 153 - The Big Boss Of The Sublunary Plane! I A world of ice bloomed with Annalise at the center as it went on to cover everything! Uniquely, it avoided a certain location where a shocked Catherine was watching everything y out, this being actually receiving a mental message from Noah this time as he suddenly caused the appearance of terrifying Rift Bosses and tens of unknown STAR Rank Blessed. "Give me a few minutes to clear out these guys, you can just enjoy the show." ¡­! There was no need for long monologues where Noah expressed how horrible the Dimensional Rulers were for colonizing trillions of beings across the Dimensional ne and making them work tirelessly on Dimensional Rifts. No need for any back and forth to see who was right and wrong! There was only action! OOOOOH! The roars of the Rift Bosses beside Noah reverberated out as their bodies glimmered with intense brilliance and power. There were Tyrant Light Dragons, Abyssal Aether Dragon Emperors that were the Aether-based Units at the STAR Rank, verdant Mythical Life Phoenixes...a myriad of beasts with fully assimted elements of their nature! All of them had power that was over 10 times that of a normal Blessed of the same level, and these terrifying Rift Bosses had their abilities locked on to the 30 or so Dimensional Rulers within the Sanctuary. The 4 Star Sentinels that had enacted the Illuminating Barrier of Light were currently chugging Mana Potions to bring themselves back to top shape, but the other 10 Units were free to move as each of them locked on to 3 Dimensional Rulers. Their attacks were precise and urate as arcs of Aether that could tear apart the skies flew towards 3 Rulers, Golden Swords of Light flew towards another 3 Rulers, or even scorching green mes descended down onto others! Every single Ruler had their own designated attack as all 30 were locked on and hit by horrendous skills just a second after the battle began. BOOOM! The first wave of attacks smashed down as shocking wails and groans rang out, mostly of disbelief at the level of power disyed as many Dimensional Rulers found their bodies to be ragged and injured after this single wave of attacks! Their bodies zed with defensive abilities as they looked towards their enemy, at least trying to figure out who he was and see if a discussion was possible. But this being didn''t even bother with any of that as he just attacked right away along with the terrifying beasts he summoned! Ah! The head of the human structures Sanctuary shook dangerously at the first wave of attacks, Catherine watching on in utter stupor as after the powerful beasts released these attacks, the other 40 Subjugated Blessed that Noah had called forth appeared beside the Dimensional Rulers and smashed down another wave of attacks. In synchrony! As if they were working as one! BOOM! The second wave of attacksnded as the figures of the Dimensional Rulers became even more ragged, not even getting a chance to disy their power as they were flung on all sides. Some tried to wield the robust essence in their bodies to fight back, but they found the faces of those attacking them to be emotionless as their power seemed multiple times above theirs even though they were all on the same level. This was the effect of [Mind Guider] that was also enhanced with Skill Points! It granted 3,000% more power to Noah''s subjugated Blessed as of course, they would be multiple times stronger than thesemon STAR Rank beings! So no matter if they were pristine Dimensional Rulers who stood at the very peak of power in the two factions or if they were those in the lesser ranks, they were all injured and toiling around in shock. What was even more disastrous was that they could see the figures from the faction of the Primal Dimensional Rulers who had actually called this meeting...to also be attacking them! "Traitors!" BOOM! "My Conve will-!" Some Rulers were able to speak a few lines before they faced horrendous attacks at the hands of beings they even sometimes considered acquaintances or friends, the chaos around the ce only increasing. Many Rulers were already injured and breathing hard as they tried to get their bearings, but this was when the second wave of attacks ended. The Subjugated Blessed pulled back in synchrony once more as the Dimensional Rulers thought they could breathe, but this was then the icy elemental particles around them became even heavier and bitingly cold as from the small figure of Annalise, a storm was raging! On top of all this, the third wave of attacks arrived. This one wasn''t from the Rift Bosses or the Subjugated Blessed, but Noah himself as he would be the final wave of attacks on the already injured and distraught Dimensional Rulers. [Ruler''s Emenation]. Noah called out slowly as his horrendous consciousness swept out. His eyes glimmered a glorious blue color as a fantastic scene of blue arcs of light and pressure cascaded out of him and descended on the wobbly Dimensional Rulers who could barely utilize their essence! THRUM! It felt like their surroundings and very bodies were being shaken and constricted when Noah''s mental energy waves arrived, but Noah wasn''t done as he utilized the abilities of the Telekic Emperor tapped in the air. PA! PA! Every tap caused a horrendous pressure to envelop a Dimensional Ruler, their bodies uncontrobly beginning to fly towards him as Noah tapped the air a total of 30 times! ¡­! When a few seconds passed, the sight of the bloodied figures of 30 STAR Rank experts were lined up in front of Noah. Each of them were trembling or spasming uncontrobly as it didn''t matter how important they were. A few were natives of the Sublunary ne, while most were the Disciples of the Conves of the Empyrean nes. Some assimted fate and chaos while others assimted thews of light or darkness! But at this moment...none of it mattered! Against the pure and overpowering strength and power that Noah could disy, these beings actually didn''t amount to much as while doing their best to struggle, they couldn''t break out of the mental constraints that a single being had ced on them. With all 30 of them lined up, Noah looked at their bloodied expressions as he could see shock and unwillingness, as well as the feeling of immense fear as these powerful beings looked towards him like he was a monster! Even the Dimensional Ruler Catherine that was left alone from his attacks and others stood there confounded amidst the destruction as she watched the shocking developments y out. At such a time, Noah didn''t spare any victorious words or speeches as his eyes only shed out a cerulean blue light. [Subjugate]. RUMBLE! Chapter 154 - The Big Boss Of The Sublunary Plane! II [Subjugate]. RUMBLE! The word was said simply and poignantly, containing a sense of relief and finality as it brought to a close a heavy ordeal in Noah''s mind. Fluctuations of power reverberated out as Noah powerfully stretched his mind to overpower 30 beings simultaneously, the beaten minds of these beings barelysting a second before they broke down and became a part of his forces! THUD!...THUD! One by one, they began dropping to the ground as they were released from Noah''s mental grasp, their injured bodies trembling as they then kneeled towards him. The prideful disciples of the Empyrean Conves. The powerful STAR Rank natives that made a name for themselves. All of them kneeled down with out question or worry of status as they fell under Noah''s grasp! Off to the side, Annalise looked at this unbelievable scene as she sighed, many thoughts wandering through her mind. ''Is this enough?'' This was the thought that continued to y in her mind over and over again! Was what they had done enough to live free of worries and fear? Was it enough for them to not be worried of enemies stepping in from nowhere and controlling their lives? Unlike Noah, this girl didn''t have any grand aspirations of power and domination as all she wanted was for those around her to be safe! As she saw the scene of the most powerful beings in the Sublunary ne bowing towards her brother, she hoped that all of this would be enough. In another direction, the Dimensional Ruler Catherine was one of the many standing amidst the Sanctuary shattered with destruction, her eyes shaking as she looked towards Noah and Annalise. Within her eyes, aside from the shock...there was also a small sense of fear as this powerful being thought about the possibility if Noah treated her the same way! She looked at the high and mighty dimensional rulers that were currently all kneeling towards Noah as even she felt somber at such a terrible mind control skill like this, not helping but picture herself in their shoes. Would she be like them if Noah had chosen to include her among the many she attacked today? Her gaze remained towards Dimensional Ruler Hyden and the others who were just fighting, but they were now bowing silently towards Noah as if he was their own father. Her eyes shone with a powerful light of shock and somberness as after all this, her gaze could onlye to focus on Noah. On the terrifying Rift Bosses around him and the dozens of STAR Rank Blessed that gave off an aura even more powerful than hers. "Fucking hell¡­" She couldn''t help but utter such a curse as she thought that the threat which some Dimensional Rulers had felt toe stand against their dominion and rule was actually something so terrifying! So terrifying that none of them could stop it, only bing his puppets at this time. "Hmm¡­" She was taken out of her thoughts as she saw Noah begin moving around the broken sanctuary, his eyes seemingly filled with a myriad of thoughts as he spoke out. "That''s it for the Dimensional Rulers of the Sublunary ne...and any other Disciples that end up descending here in the future." RUMBLE! Terrifying words were uttered from his mouth as he turned his eyes towards Catherine, who went ahead and blinked unconsciously while speaking towards him. "You''re one crazy nutjob is what you are...what are you nning on doing by making puppets of the Disciples of multiple Conves?" She saw that Noah wished her no harm as she spoke freely, counting her lucky stars for meeting this terrifying being first and befriending him. Towards her question though, he only smiled as he shook his head mysteriously. "Who knows? We have to first set everything in order." ¡­! Yes! Now that the most powerful beings were under him, Noah had to put things in order in the Sublunary ne. He had to be the big boss as he had to set up a glorious system of power that could set him up for sess while he began his idle life. Looking at the rubble around him and the kneeling Subjugated Blessed, Noah couldn''t help but shake his head on how far he hade. His powerful mind worked at high speeds as he calcted his next steps, seeing therge number of things he had to do from this moment until he couldze around and rx while watching Universal Law Crystals, Cores, and Dao Crystals just flowing into hisp! The most powerful Dimensional Rulers of the three factions were now under him, any of those remaining in the World Rank and the Realm Overseers below them being things he could easily take care of in time. What was left to do now would take a period of time to aplish, and it involved changing the structure of the entirety of the Sublunary ne- the Realm Colonies that Overseers were going into to collect loot daily while working the inhabitants of an innumerable number of worlds and realms to exhaustion. He had to change this and also go through the few STAR Rank Dimensional Rifts that could be found within the headquarters of all factions and all the lower ranking Rifts below them! The amount of loot, Idle Exp, and Upgrade Crystals he was bound to gain would be enormous as at the end of it all, the 1,000 Billion Idle Exp he needed to upgrade the System would be obtained in a matter of time as well as the fusion of his Units from the STAR Rank and into the Neb Rank. Whether it would take days or weeks depended on how quickly he added the countless number of Dimensional Rifts within the Sublunary ne! It was bound to be a hectic next few days as to Noah, these ordeals seemed much more tiring and requiring more of him than even the actions of defeating the Dimensional Rulers that were currently bowing towards him. There was all this...and then there were his connections to the Empyrean ne. He had to use Catherine and the Subjugated Blessed he had under him to stretch his fingers and tap into the resources of this terrifying ne while still being far away from it! He didn''t n on delving into a ne where STAR Rank Existences were probably asmon as the World Rank beings in the Sublunary ne. As a transmigrator, he knew that things expanded to always find out that one was at the bottom of an endless well of power wherever they went. Now that he had an entire ne under his control, he wanted to sit back and umte all the power he could, cross through the STAR Rank and into the NEBULA Rank and whatever is above that! With his idle gaming system and Inherent Skills that gave him eyes and ears everywhere, what prevented him from doing so?! "Alright...let''s get started!" RUMBLE! Essence fluctuated majestically from his eyes as Noah began taking his first steps to be a big boss of the Sublunary ne, collecting loot and amassing power within it for as long as he could.... Chapter 155 - It’s Actually Very Easy To Manage A Dimensional Plane I A day after a shocking battle within the Sanctuary. Within the vast Sublunary ne, there was a cluster of Realms and stars known as the Expansive Void Cluster. Among the many stars and realms within this Expansive Void Cluster, we delve into a Realm under the name of the Prosperous Continents that was filled with multiple Soul Rank Rifts, a World Rank Rift, and a single STAR Rank Rift! It was a hubbub of activity as the Dimensional Rulers focused powerful Realm Overseers in this Realm, using the inhabitants within it to farm the many Soul Rank Rifts and below as well as using their World Rank Experts and STAR Rank Dimensional Rulers to clear the highest ranked Rift within it. Today was a day unlike any other as the inhabitants of the Prosperous Continents woke up to go about their daily lives of delving into dangerous Rifts and giving out over 80% of what they obtained to the powerful Overseers that could be seen on every Rift. It was something that had been happening over so many generations that it had nearly be the norm for the natives, but the vast majority of these beings that lived long lives through the brutal process of delving into Rifts constantly remembered the stifling feeling of having no control over their lives daily! Every day, many of them reflected on the fact that they seemed like ves working for powerful beings that always took more and more from them. So when they woke up from their tired night to go about their work today as well, all of them were faced with utter shock as they found something had drastically changed! They didn''t notice it when they delved into the Rifts, but it became more apparent when they came out and pooled all of their loot on the ground for the Overseers to take them. "..." Nothing happened. In front of the portal of one of the many Gold Rank rifts within the Prosperous Continents, a team of? Gold Blessed stood in front of the Overseer they always handed over 80% of their loot to as they all had quizzical expressions! Looking at the hard-earned loot they had obtained now disyed outside and even taking off their storage ring for the Overseer to check, it seemed they wanted to mess around today and waste their time as they took nothing. It was only after a second that the voice of the Overseer came out, and they seemed surprised to be saying the words that came out their mouth as if even they couldn''t believe it either! "There will be no more collection of loot from those that rightfully earned them from the Dimensional Rifts¡­" RUMBLE! "What?!" ¡­! Shock and stupor could be seen on the faces of the Blessed as they stood there frozen, the reality of all they knew being changed out of the blue! Not just this single Gold Rank Rift, but across all the Rifts within the Prosperous Continents and across all the Realms and Stars within the entire Sublunary ne...there was an instant shift out of nowhere! The inhabitants of all stars and Realms didn''t have to give out any of their hard earned Loot to others, and they could increase their power and advance from here on out based on their talents and Abilities. It was a shocking new reality that caused trillions of beings across the entirety of the Sublunary ne to question...just who was responsible for enacting such a big change? What had happened in the powerful ranks of Dimensional Rulers that they now didn''t have to pay an 80% tax on everything they obtained from Dimensional Rifts?! It was a question that wouldrgely remain unanswered for some time, but grand changes began spreading across the Sublunary Dimensional ne on this day! Of course, the one behind it all was Noah as he utilized his STAR Ranked Subjugated Blessed to pass down orders for a new regime. All three factions of the Sublunary ne were all united on this front as the forceful procurement of the loot of other beings was banned, the number of Overseers being reduced across all Realms and Stars as the only thing these beings served to do was maintain order! For Noah, what came next was naturally to manage the vast Dimensional ne that he had dominated and became the strongest influence of. For others, it might have been an extremely strenuous task to manage an entire Dimension as it took control and care of many aspects...but it was the easiest thing for Noah! This was because he could entirely delegate it to others that obeyed him without question¡­. He had the most powerful STAR Rank existences under him as all he had to do was give them themands to watch over the same regions they watched over before, and this time they would be working tirelessly to ensure the smooth progress of everything! All of the STAR and World Rank experts were also given the task of delving into the Dimensional Rifts under them frequently, obtaining a myriad of loot there with their enhanced power from [Mind Guider] that Noah nned to redistribute to the strongest beings within the Sublunary ne. There were many things Noah nned to do, but the main focus of course remained...on himself! He now had a vast number of Dimensional Rifts to go through across an entire Dimension, the benefits being something he could only imagine. He had already begun this process over the past day while he managed the newly Subjugated Blessed, adding hundreds of Rifts ranging from Soul to the STAR Rank! When he looked at the Idle Gaming System Interface, he had too many Rifts glowing with a gorgeous gold color that simply waited for him to collect. It represented too many Cores, Universal Law Crystals, and a myriad of other loot as he...had to find a way to utilize them as he would very soon be taking in the resources of an entire Dimension! For this, his body floated above the Sanctuary as he looked at the image of the Dimensional Ruler Catherine who would be ascending to the Empyrean Dimensional ne at this moment. Her feet stepped on the Golden Stairway of Ascension as she began, Noah having had a long discussion with her before this as a myriad of things were nned. She was the method he nned to use as a channel to tap his hands into the resources of this higher ne! Chapter 156 - It’s Actually Very Easy To Manage A Dimensional Plane II A grand procession was taking ce at this moment above the Sanctuary of the Sublunary n. The ascension and return of Dimensional Ruler Catherine was taking ce, this powerful Ruler returning to the Empyrean ne as her mission here wasplete! She only nced behind her once to observe the figures of Noah and Annalise before her expression hardened, and she took the steps forward while her body vibrated with power at the STAR Rank. Gradually, she faded up the steps that seemed endless, edging higher and higher until her figure disappeared. Noah looked at such a scene with dazzling eyes as he nodded his head, knowing that all he had to do now was wait for things to fall into ce. "When do you expect your...business to start?" The voice of Annalise rang out beside Noah thoughtfully, making himugh as he thought of the ns he made with Catherine. This was the business she referred to, being one of the ways Noah nned to tap into the resources of the Empyrean ne! "Catherine is just the first test, so I''m not entirely sure when it will start! When I see how things go with her, I''ll slowlyplete the missions of the Disciples I''ve subjugated before I send them back into the Empyrean ne to entrench themselves into their Conves and slowly rise in power and influence there¡­" ¡­! Shocking ns were spoken of freely by Noah, the brother and sister soon moving away from the Golden Stairway of Ascension as they returned to the enormous Structure of the Sanctuary that they were currently using as the base of Operations. There were still a myriad of things to be done, with most of them being for Noah to delve into the uncountable number of Dimensional Rifts within the vast Sublunary ne! After that, he could slowly eat up the benefits of the features of the Idle Gaming System, especially continuing the search for the Fate Spirits again. The Fate Spirits that could lead him to an Incandescent Fate Treasure ne that had beasts capable of dropping Dao Crystals...this rare existence had evaded him no matter how many waves of the Infinite Crucible he cleared or how many floors of the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts he climbed! But as he used his mana to see the bursts of fate and chaos around himself, he saw that this chance would bring itself to him soon enough. He busied himself with his tasks and the management of the Sublunary ne as the seeds he nted began to sprout in many directions. --- In a certain region of the Empyrean ne. The very atmosphere was different within this nepared to the Sublunary ne, just the mere concentration of atmospheric essence being more condensed than the lower ne! At this moment, a special existence was ascending from the Golden Stairway of Ascension as she didn''t arrive in the area where many beings would first arrive when they ascended. This was because Catherine had a marker on her Conve. This marker allowed for her ascension to teleport her back into a special formation set up by her Conve as at this moment, she appeared in the middle of a huge runic circle in the depths of one of the major forces of the Empyrean ne. THRUM! Essence was vibrating within the runic magic circle stably as it calmed down, the figure of Catherine bing clear as before she even opened her eyes, she felt the auras of multiple beings staring in her direction outside of the runic magic circle! These beings knew of her return as she told them in advance, her eyesnding on multiple middle-aged elders of her Tenebrous Conve! Each of them had bodies that thrummed powerfully with ridiculous waves of power, each of these existences being powerfully far above the STAR Rank as they even surpassed the rank of NEBULA! The few Elders were standing respectfully behind a certain middle aged man, this being actuallying out to be the strongest among them as on his chest, one could shockingly see a glimmering illusory QUASAR. This was actually a stage far above anything that even Noah hade across, with it being 3 ranks away from the Star Forging Realm! The ranks went from STAR to NEBULA, and then from a NEBULA to BLACK HOLE...and only after that could someone form a shocking quasar within their Origin as they stepped onto the QUASAR Realm! Each of these stages had their own uniqueness when advancing that will be delved into at ater time, but the being at the very forefront that had an illusory quasar on his chest stepped towards Catherine with an impassive face as he spoke. "Show me." WAA! His voice alone was enough to terrify any STAR Rank being, but Catherine actually clicked her lips as she obeyed, a powerful aura of a Grand Dao rising from her as it caused the eyes of the Elders and the powerful man whomanded to sh with light! This was because they saw the particles of the Grand Dao of Destruction, a Dao that only privileged beings had the chance to step on in the Empyrean ne. "Good. You were able to sessfullyplete your mission in a barren ne with no resources...even achievingprehension in a Grand Dao by yourself!" RUMBLE! "You can finally join the ranks of the Young Saintesses of our Tenebrous Conve after proving yourself, and the resources such as Dao Crystals you couldn''t have ess to before will be open for you to fight for. Come!" His words were like strikes of thunder as they were undeniable, but Catherine was actually rolling her eyes while listening to this powerful being multiple ranks above her as she spoke back while following. "Yes, daddy." ¡­! A vein seemed to pop on the forehead of the powerful QUASAR Realm being as he watched Catherine''s behavior, shaking his head at how his daughter never changed! But on this day, a certain Disciple returned to the Tenebrous Conve of the Empyrean ne as she became a Young Saintess right after, this being carrying with her a connection that woulde to shake the Empyrean ne! Chapter 157 - An Established Connection With A Conclave! I The Tenebrous Conve upied a vast Realm System in the Empyrean ne, being one of its powerful forces that actually preferred to move more under the radar. The Conve was led under the control of a mysterious Existence that controlled multiple Dao Dimensional Rifts, with multiple powerful Grand Elders at the QUASAR Realm taking care of the vast regions that this Conve controlled. At this moment in time, the daughter of Grand Elder Shadow had finished her trial in an exemry manner in the Sublunary ne as she returned and was crowned a Young Saintess soon after! She entered the ranks of Saintesses and Saints that were groomed by the Tenebrous Conve to be experts that could support and maintain the dignity of the Conve for the years toe. Those with the ranks of Saints and Saintesses had special privileges within the Conves of the Empyrean ne, with them having ess to the vast reserves of loot from their Conves that they could only obtain through trading with Contribution Points! To get these Contributions Points, a Saint or Saintess had to submit a myriad of loot into their Conves, and they would then use the Contribution Points they umted to im many wondrous treasures. The most prized ones and the Treasures that most Saints and Saintesses worked for were Dao Weapons that contained the essence of specific Daos, as well as Dao Crystals that one could use to gain Comprehension in specific Daos! Powerful Conves like the Tenebrous Conve were extremely sought after as their experts controlled regions that had many different Dao Dimensional Rifts, and their Treasure Troves that disciples could choose from had many fantastical Dao Crystals and Dao Weapons. Aside from these, one could also use their Contribution Points to exchange for Universal Law Crystals of nearly all of the Laws, as well as...the Cores of the Realms of Power! If one obtained enough Contribution Points from submitting enough Loot into their Conves, an Existence from the STAR Rank would even be capable of obtaining NEBULA Rank Cores, or the prized BLACK HOLE Cores that only the Elders of the Conves enjoyed. This was the reality of the fantastical Empyrean Dimensional ne. Vast clusters of powers that controlled unique Dimensional Rifts and ruled their regions how they wished, with their disciples having to explore powerful Dimensional Rifts in the Empyrean ne or even visit other Dimensional nes to obtain the loot they could turn in for Contribution Points. Many opted for the Abyssal ne missions that allowed them to hunt Abyssal Fiends and bring back the Loot they obtained there, some would visit the Rifts their Conves controlled, and some wanted even safer environments as they would even choose lower nes like the Sublunary ne and farm its low tier Dimensional Rifts over the years while acting as Dimensional Rulers! "You just returned from the Sublunary ne, so I don''t expect you to have obtained enormous amounts of treasures to turn in for Contribution Points. But as your father...I will be here to watch you obtain your first set of Contribution Points, no matter how small they are." WAA! Deep within the Tenebrous Conve, in a certain Realm that was under the control of Grand Elder Shadow. This QUASAR Rank expert looked at his daughter, Catherine, as the two of them stood in front of a smiling Grand Elder that was guarding an enormous golden door! This enormous golden door was one of the many entrance points for the Treasure Trove of the Tenebrous Conve, with Saints and Saintesses being capable of turning in their Loot here to obtain contribution points that they could then use to take whatever they wished for. Catherine had a mischievous expression as she thought about her father''s words. A small amount of contribution points? That might have been so if she had finished her trial alone and hadn''t met a special someone. But now? WAA! Waves of mana emanated from her hands as she began to take out the myriad of loot she held in her Storage Rings, putting all of this loot before the Grand Elder and her father! At first, the expressions of these two grand elders were calm as they only nodded with praise when they saw the small mountain of Universal Law Crystals and STAR Rank Cores that Catherine was releasing. But their gazes gradually changed as when Catherine finished emptying out one storage ring and creating a small mountain of loot, another storage ring lit up as she began to pour out the contents of this one as well. ¡­! Another mountain of loot formed beside the first one. Then, with a smiling expression, Catherine went on to pour out ten more mountains of Universal Law Crystals of many different types ofws and Star Rank Cores, the number being something that even her father was looking at in a stupor! The Grand Elder in charge of counting the turned in loot and assigning Contribution Points came out of his stupor as he waved his hands and released mana that covered theid out mountains, beginning to count thereafter with a surprised expression. "5,000 Universal Law Crystals...15,000...38,000!" He counted the number of Law Crystals and Cores as it came up to a staggering amount that was enough to allow a being to fully assimte multiple Laws, his gaze when he looked at Catherine shing with a bright light as he waved his hands and caused the mountains of loot to disappear, voicing out majestically thereafter. "Young Saintess Catherine...you''ve gained 23,000 Contribution Points on your return from the Sublunary ne!" RUMBLE! The number of Contribution Points was listed as even her Father was in a stupor, this powerful being turning towards her as he asked quizzically "You...you did go to the barren Sublunary ne that only has Rifts up to the Star Rank, right?" The father looked towards his daughter that shed him a smile, this smile containing hidden meanings as it kept the secret of where she got all this loot from! She kept secret of the deal she made with a certain being that had actually risen to the top of the Sublunary ne and currently ruled over it, her gaze only looking towards the Grand Elder in charge of the Treasure Vault as she voiced out. "How many Dao Crystals can I get with this many Contribution Points?" ¡­! The Young Saintess Catherine returned with a bang in her Tenebrous Conve as she carried with her a deal that would carry immense benefits not just for her Conve...but for her and the being that backed her funds in a certain ne. This...was the method that Noah had devised and discussed with Catherine! As he obtained an endless amount of loot from his Idle Gaming System, he nned to use Catherine and the many disciples he now had as his Subjugated Blessed to trade his endless Universal Law Crystals and Cores for other types of Law Crystals, high ranking Cores to advance his strength, and the treasured Dao Crystals that others only sought after! Chapter 158 - An Established Connection With A Conclave! II The Treasure Troves of Conves were vast and nigh endless, these ces being the locations where depending on the age of the Conve, thousands or tens of thousands of years of hard work could be stored. Catherine gained 23,000 Contribution Points as for her first exchange within the Treasure Trove of the Tenebrous Conve, and she obtained 23 Grand Dao Crystals of Destruction for all of her points as these most valuable loot were actually an entire 1,000 Contribution Points for a single one! This was because the power that a being could wield with a fullyprehended Grand Dao was extremely shocking, thus their prices within the Empyrean Dimensional ne were just as shocking. It was to the point that thousands of Universalw Crystals would only be capable of being traded for a single Grand Dao Crystal, with Lesser Dao Crystals being worth a few hundred Law Crystals! You then had the Cosmic Dao Crystals...the Ultimate Loot of the Chaotic Cosmos that out of its three Dimensional nes, the Sublunary and the Empyrean ne had rarely seen any of them. Only in the Celestial ne where beings titled as Dimensional Hegemonies moved would one frequentlye across Cosmis Dao Crystals..the loot that could grant one a Cosmic Dao that made them unrivaled among their peers! But none of this entered Noah''s or Catherine''s mind at this moment. Their focus remained the Dao Crystals and Cores of higher ranks to exchange for the days toe, and the fiery figure of Catherine was already leaving the Treasure Trove of the Tenebrous Conve with her father behind her as she was prepared to head out once more. "You''re going back to the same Sublunary ne? What about the Abyssal ne or even the Spirit nes for you to train in? I wouldn''t expect the Sublunary ne to have much for you!" Grand Elder Shadow was speaking to his daughter with care as even with the surprise earlier, his view on the barren Sublunary ne didn''t change. But Catherine just shook her head as she replied. "I found something in the Sublunary ne that will bring me vast amounts of loot that even the Abyssal ne can''tpare, I''ll be returning there!" RUMBLE! Her mind was set as the Young Saintess made her move, a crude method of loot exchange being made as she was about to make preparations for another descension to give back the 80% of the promised loot to another person! Meanwhile, Noah himself was moving busily in the Sublunary ne as he added more and more Rifts to Idle Mode. The hours passed as they turned into over a day since Catherine''s departure. And even with this day, Noah wasn''t able to cover all of the remaining SOUL and WORLD Rank Rifts spread out across the vast Realm and Star Clusters of this ne! "When will I get to rest¡­" He clicked his lips in dissatisfaction while looking at the Idle Gaming System Interface that showed thousands of Rifts glowing a brilliant gold luster. His eyes hovered over the tens of STAR Rank Rift as he was currently within the head structure of the Sanctuary that had been rebuilt, lyingvishly on an exquisitely made throne as he wanted to enjoy the feeling of collecting loot with a click of a button! SHAA! A glimmer of golden light shed as he clicked on the tens of STAR Rank Rifts that had been in Idle Mode for over 24 Hours. [+345,575?Idle Exp] [+15,000 Light Universal Law Crystals] [+23,632 Fire Universal Law Crystals][+13,857 Aether Universal Law Crystals][+18 665 Water Universal Law Crystals]....[+100 Light STAR Rank Equipment] [+122 Life STAR Rank Equipment][+1,264,743 STAR Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals].... [+250 STAR Rank Light Tyrant Dragon Unit Shards][+330 STAR Rank Golden Sphinx Unit Shards]....[+550 Ultimate Light Potions] [+67 STAR Rank Light Element Skill Books]... [+11,466 STAR Rank Cores] The list of all the loot was entirely too long as it consisted of the respective Unit Shards of all the 23 STAR Rank Rifts that gave Noah enough Shards to Summon multiple star Rank beats daily, and things like the equipment and Law crystals that were unique to the Rifts. But one would be shocked to see that currently, he was actually receding thousands in Universal Law Crystals daily, with some even being above that as 23,000 Fire Law Crystals came to him daily due to him clearing 4 Star Rank Rifts of this nature! Such arge amount of loot was enough for 2 beings to fully assimte the Law of Fire, and Noah actually gained this every 24 hours¡­ It was utterly broken and ridiculous to wrap one''s head around, but this was the Idle Gaming System! Noah had only given Catherine 38,000 Universal Law Crystals as even that should cause amotion in her Conve, yet the number he currently held had already spilled over 100,000 of different types of Law Crystals as it was only growing! "I''ll need to have some of these guys ascend to more efficiently divide the loot to exchange in multiple Conves¡­" Noah''s eyes could help but shine as he felt his connection to the Subjugated Dimensional Rulers who could easilyplete their Trials now that they had him. The problem was that he had too much loot! So much that he could hand it all for one being to turn into a Conve as it would raise too many eye brows. Division meant he could put it into manageable and believable amounts across the Conves of the Empyrean ne while he brought everything back to himself, mastering new Lesser and Grand Daos with ease as time passed. For the Cores to arrive into the NEBULA Rank and above? Well for this, he turned his eyes to the Upgrade Crystals at the STAR Rank that he obtained over a million of in just a day. This number had shocking implications, as it meant with every passing day where he got a simr amount...he would very soon be obtaining a NEBULA Rank Unit from fusion before anything else! When such a thing happened, he would tear across the floors of the Tower of Champions and the Shattered nes Dimensional Rifts as he began defeating enemies of these levels and start to collect the fantastical Cores of this Rank. His ideas and ns shone beautifully in front of him as he waited upon the result of the first test he sent in the Empyrean Dimensional ne! Chapter 159 - The Infiltration Of The Empyrean Conclaves! I On the newly created throne of the Sanctuary right below the Golden Stairway of Ascension, an existence was utilizing his system to the fullest as he lounged on the chair...while pressing buttons multiple times! Of course, it was Noah simply browsing the Idle Gaming System Interface and clicking on the Dimensional Rifts that had been running in Idle Mode and were entirely shining gold as they were filled with loot. Collecting the loot from World Rank and below was much more exciting in terms of numbers, with Noah being able to obtain millions in terms of Idle Exp and other resources because he had such a low clear time for the lower ranked Rifts. The hundreds of millions of Idle Exp required before upgrading the System again would actually be more achievable in the future through the vast number of lower ranked Rift that Noah was collecting and clearing at rapid speeds. As he enjoyed the invisible screen only he could see, his eyes twitched a few secondster as he noticed some movement above the Sanctuary- from the Golden Stairway of Ascension above him! The Subjugated Blessed posted around the Sanctuary to monitor who descended onto the Sublunary ne caught the sight of the curvaceous Catherineing down once more, a smile lingering on her face as Noah''s eyes lit up, not having to wait long before her figure shed into the head of the Sanctuary where Noah was lounging on a throne! She was in another exquisite dark dress that fully showed off her blessing, her eyes focusing on Noah as soon as she entered. She took a single step as she arrived before Noah, a smile still visible on her face as she waved her hands in front of him and caused for the appearance of glimmering obsidian crystals that Noah had only seen once before! It was the pulsating Dao Crystals that he had only obtained one of in the Incandescent Fate Treasure ne, each of them thrumming with the Dao of Destruction as there were 23 of them floating silently before Noah''s eyes. "23 Dao Crystals exchanged for 23,000 Contribution Points that came from all the loot you gave me...it''s something that even those risking their lives in the Abyssal ne or Destroyed nes can''t aplish in a short period of time!" Catherine''s voice rang out sonorously as it was only then that Noah took his eyes off of the Dao Crystals and looked at her. His eyes shed with a sharp light of excitement as he nodded, waving his hands as 19 of these Cores disappeared and entered his inventory, the other 4 floating towards Catherine who took them happily as her eyes still stared at Noah as if he was some sort of a Treasure! "You still have more Cores and Universal Law Crystals?" "Of course." Noah gave the curvaceous Young Saintess who had her body pulsing dangerously with the essence of Chaos and Destruction a smile as he replied, waving his hands as over 50,000 Universal Law Crystals of many types instantly bloomed around them. They glittered beautifully in the light as they caused the surroundings to brighten up wondrously, Catherine looking at such a sight while shaking her head in wonder, focusing on the man on the throne that made it possible! As she thought of her father that was the Grand Elder of the Tenebrous Conve and the other Young Saints and Saintesses that would have to work hard and risk their lives in dangerous nes to obtain what she would get so simply, she couldn''t help but focus on this man that made it all possible. Her eyes arched up mischievously as she began to walk towards him while surrounded by the colorful Universal Law Crystals, her voice ringing out. "I feel like this partnership deserves amemoration and a celebration, don''t you?" The voice was sonorous and filled with no worries as it caused the transmigrator''s eyes to contract carefully, his emotional quotient being enough to pick up the signals as he nodded with a light smile and sat back even morefortably on the throne! He wouldn''t deny this curvaceous woman at this moment, and he had no need to. So he simply watched her actions with interested eyes as she moved. The dress around Catherine''s body began to fall off as she looked around the glimmering Universal Law Crystals around them and the man sitting on the throne domineeringly, a sharp light crossing her eyes as she then jumped on him! --- As Noah fully enjoyed his Idle Life, his powerful mind was working simultaneously to control multiple Subjugated Blessed. With an Origin and soul that had devoured the souls of millions of Abyssal Fiends, feats of dividing his consciousness to focus on multiple tasks was something he could do with utter ease! At this moment, he was mobilizing 10 of the Dimensional Rulers hand picked from each faction, having these beingsplete their missions as he would have them ascend to the Empyrean Dimensional ne thereafter. Having seen the results with Catherine now, Noah couldn''t wait to obtain even more benefits from the fat sheep living in the Empyrean ne as he would right away enact his n to infiltrate their Conves with his Subjugated Blessed and begin sucking up their resources! The missions their disciples were given weren''t anywhere as hard as Catherine where she was required toprehend a Grand Dao by herself in a ''barren ne, with many of them being given the trials ofpletely Assimting 5 or more Universal Laws, and some even being given the trials of collecting a certain amount of Law Crystals as loot. Such missions could bepleted with ease under Noah as all the 10 he chose were ready at this moment, Noah utilizing Spatial Puppet Master and transferring all of them below the Golden Stairway of Ascension as he had them climb this structure right after! He did all this while enjoying his Idle life below with the newly elevated Young Saintess, sending 10 of his Subjugated Blessed towards the Empyrean ne as he was about to view this ne through the eyes of these beings and not just through their memories for the first time. Chapter 160 - The Infiltration Of The Empyrean Conclaves! II The vast Empyrean Dimensional ne. Noah only knew of this ne from the memories of his Subjugated Blessed, but even these memories were extensive enough as he felt like he had grown up within the many powerful Conves himself! Their history, powerful beings, Realms of power...these were actually some of the biggest boons he received when he dominated the minds of the Dimensional Rulers. Their memories were truly the most prized thing as they expanded his knowledge too much and granted a view he would have never gotten a chance to grasp otherwise! With the abilities of the Mind Dominator, he seamlessly assimted this knowledge and he was putting all of it to use at this moment as he sent back 10 of the Dimensional Rulers he had Subjugated back to their Conves. One by one, they let their Elders know of their sessfullypleted trials as they then ascended the Golden Stairway of Ascension. With the methods of the Conves, these beings would be teleported into the regions that their Conves controlled as they wouldn''t be randomly teleported into a random location in the Empyrean ne! Within the Sanctuary, Noah was eating up a Young Saintess as his powerful consciousness monitored the Subjugated Blessed he was sending forth, his seeds already being nted as he would now wait for them to sprout. --- Within the vast and mystical Empyrean ne. On this day, 10 new Disciples returned to their Conves as theypleted their trials. These beings seemed nothing out of the norm as they were exactly as their normal selves, but there was one singr distinction that even caused the Elder of their Conve that they reported to upon their return to look at them in shock! This distinction was that they all returned withrge numbers of loot that one wouldn''t expect from the Sublunary ne, each of these disciples receiving praise and more attention upon their return as they were able to obtain a myriad of loot when they exchanged their Contribution points. "Senior Brother Max, it''s great to see you again!" Within a certain Conve, a Subjugated Blessed was moving across the beautiful scene of enormousary sized mountains floating in space- these enormous mountains actually being the mystical headquarters of one of the Conves Noah had infiltrated! His consciousness was actually taking over the body of the Subjugated Blessed called Max at this moment as he toured and saw the wonders of the Empyrean Realm for himself. Can you imagine seeing the sight of a myriad of verdant lush mountains mystical floating in space while surrounded by shiningyers of clouds? These lush mountains being asrge ass as within them, powerful experts lived and could be found all around! This was the Conve that Noah had infiltrated as its amount of loot in the Treasure Troves was already unimaginable. Noah nodded to the Junior Sister of this Subjugated Blessed as he continued on with a smile, returning to what was considered the abode of this being within one of the mountains. It was something he had to light up a runic formation with his mana to enter on a side of the mountain wall, the wall depending up and leading him into a gorgeous and fantastical cave that Noah had only read about in cultivation novels. A clear and sparkling spring running on the side of the enormous cultivation abode he was in, a lush bed and seating area as well as a ce to meditate were all included in this abode as Noah only gave it all a cursory look. This was because he would be carrying out the first test with his Subjugated Blessed in the Empyrean ne, the body he currently controlled waving its hands as it revealed 25 glimmering Dao Crystals of Destruction! Noah had actually exchanged all the Contribution Points of all the 10 Subjugated Blessed for Dao Crystals of Destruction, making it his goal to quickly get 1000 to reachplete Comprehension in this Dao and then obtain the 10,000 for full Assimtion. He would be further ahead than even most Elders of Conves if he was capable of actually assimting a Grand Dao. As for the experiment? It was naturally the smooth transference of the Dao Crystals back to the Sublunary ne through the use of the enhanced with skill points [Spatial Puppet Master]! In the hands of the Subjugated Blessed, a single Dao Crystal was wrapped up in a bright silver light as it actually disappeared soon after. In the Sublunary ne, Noah had strings of the dark hair of the Young Saintess Catherine covering his face at this moment, but he was still able to see the appearance of another Grand Dao Crystal of Destruction that came from the Blessed all the way in the Empyrean ne in the corner of his eyes. "Good¡­" He uttered forth unconsciously as Catherine raised her head above him out of breath and called out. "Huh?" Her cheeks were rosy as Noah refocused his strong soul while getting back to business! The action just now meant that Noah could simply have his Subjugated Blessed teleport all the Dao Crystals and Cores they exchanged to him without even leaving the Empyrean ne, and there was an even greater use from this experiment! It was the fact that if they could send things to him, he could also send things to them! It meant that they would never have to return to and call attention to the Sublunary ne constantly, where Noah could now have all of his Subjugated Blessed simply leave their Conves to go visit other less dangerous nes or even the Abyssal ne, and he would simply give them loot as if they got it from these ces. It would mean that very few beings would even gaze towards the happenings of the Sublunary ne, and only the Elders of the Tenebrous Conve where Catherine stemmed from would be looking at the ne Catherine would keep returning to for bountiful loot! Such wondrous possibilities meant that Noah could send his Subjugated Blessed across the corners of the nes as he sent loot to them and they sent back to him even more unique loot, getting his hands on things that the Young Saintesses and Saints of the Conves could only wish to obtain after years in a matter of days. His Rank and Comprehension in Daos was bound to skyrocket in theing days and weeks as the power that only Elders and Grand Elders of the Conves held....he would be able to wield such power soon enough while being utterly idle! Chapter 161 - Explosive Growth! I The stage was set as Noah prepared many things, where as he saw the first step of sending 10 Subjugated Blessed work out sessfully, he began to slowly send more over the next few days! It was a period of umtion and nning for Noah as he began to receive arge amount of high quality loot from the Subjugated Blessed that infiltrated the conves. All of them without question exchanged their loot and used their Contribution Points for the Grand Dao Crystals of Destruction, Noah beginning to get a steady supply of this over time! As for the Disciples he Subjugated who returned to conves that weren''t powerful enough to be able to obtain and freely have Grand Dao Crystals in their Treasure Troves, Noah had them exchange their Contribution Points for the NEBULA Rank Cores. There were a few disciples like this who stemmed from Conves that didn''t control any Grand Dao Dimensional Rifts, and Noah had these beings used for this purpose as he began to collect another type of loot with ease. He actually began to umte these NEBULA Rank Cores just 3 days after his ns began, with him and any others wanting to elevate from star into neb rank needing to obtain over 1000 Neb Rank Cores before they could seed. The amount of essence one needed to advance just continued to increase as they rose in levels, but this was of no consequence to Noah as he had a myriad of existences to bring him his! As for Catherine, the fiery Young Saintess would asionally ascend to the Tenebrous Conve in the Empyrean Dimensional ne every few days for the exchange of loot, with most of her time being spent with Noah exploring the power of the Grand Dao of Destruction among other things. Annalise and Rose enjoyed their time as the girls began to explore the vast and unique star and Realm Systems of the Sublunary ne, and like this...2 weeks passed. 2 weeks, but the changes were monumental as the growth during these two weeks was something others could only imagine! At this moment, in the head of the Sanctuary right below the Golden Stairway of Ascension. THRUM Dark essence was undting in a terrifying manner around Noah as it seemed like it was on the cusp of breaking through, with his body currently absorbing the 1000th Grand Dao Crystal as within this short period of 2 weeks¡­ He was alreadypleting the Comprehension of a Grand Dao! WAA! The crystal within his hands faded as he found his Origin being bathed with the light of destruction, something unique blooming from him as he felt a prompt appear before his eyes. {Aura of the Grand Controller of Destruction} :: A passive aura that only appears around those who have fullyprehended the Grand Dao of Destruction. It grants +5,000% Extra Damage,? the quality of Essence Corrosion bring applied to all attacks, and allows the Grand Controller of Destruction to utilize this Dao in unique ways... ¡­! Around him, a unique ck aura that shone of regality formed as it was actually the aura someone gained for fullyprehending a Grand Dao, their power behind enhanced by arge amount! "Just ridiculous¡­" Noah couldn''t help but utter with a smile as he rose up while clenching his hands to enjoy the feeling of boundless strength. In just two weeks, he actually obtained 1000 Grand Dao Crystals of Destruction from the resources of multiple conves as it allowed him topletelyprehend a Grand Dao! This wasn''t all as when one looked within his Origin...they would actually be able to find not a Star, but a NEBULA! 2 days ago, he had undergone through the stupendous process of also absorbing 1000 NEBULA Rank Cores, his origin undergoing a majestic transformation. His single star had been filled to the brim with essence as when it couldn''t take anymore, a being had to shatter this star as they used the force it provides to birth multiple stars and form a small Neb! A neb was an interster body that contained gaseous materials and could form stars within, every existence having to go through this process before they could form a terrifying ck Hole for the next stage of power. The feeling of strength Noah received from achieving both the rank of NEBULA and attainingplete Comprehension in Destruction made him feel like he was on cloud 9, with his eyes zing with light as with such a gain in power, he nned to make his descent again in the Abyssal ne! He had been enjoying his Idle life of sitting around for 2 weeks as resources and loot just came to him, but he wanted to also continue strengthening his powerful consciousness and soul by continuing to devour the souls of more Abyssal Fiends. The 100 Quintillion number also had to keep being reduced if Noah ever wanted toplete the mission of the Abyssal ne Expedition. His rate of killing this time should be expanded by many levels as aside from him, there were also his Units that had currently been able to step into the NEBULA Rank through fusion! He currently held 5 Units that had undergone fusion, these Rift Bosses releasing terrifying wave software power as Noah expected to clear the Minor Fiend Nest in seconds, with him being able to delve deeper and deeper into the Abyssal ne as he even fought with NEBULA Rank Abyssal Fiends. "Let''s finally get busy, shall we¡­" With a light smile and eyes that shed a beautiful blue, Noah shed out of the Sanctuary as he appeared quite a distance away into the Ethereal Realm, intent on grabbing Annalise who always wanted to grow stronger alongside him. At the same time, he waved his hands to call forth 8 Subjugated Blessed that would be going with them as he prepared. He had already put a system in ce that would grant him a myriad of Dao Crystals and Cores as time passed, and now he would be just a bit more proactive as he increased his power to even crazier levels by farming in the Abyssal ne! Chapter 162 - Explosive Growth! II At the same time as Noah was nning on delving back into the Abyssal ne, something unexpected that would profoundly affect the future of the Chaotic Universe actually bloomed around this time. Even more surprising was that such a thing didn''t ur in the Celestial ne where powerful beings that held the titles of Paragons and Hegemonies lived, but in the Empyrean ne where the most powerful beings were holding the titles of Sages and Great Sages! What urred...was the instantaneous rupture of the void near the Sunvoid Region of the Empyreanne, this void stretching out for tens of thousands of miles as it was more vast than any star or Realm. From the ruptured void then came...a blooming of gorgeous light as it formed a pulsating multicolored Rift! A Dimensional Rift! One that was tens of thousands of miles long in Diameter as multiple stars and Realms had to be stacked together just to match up to it. The formation of this Rift was so profound that it instantly drew the attention of the nearby experts from the Sunvoid Region near it. This caused for powerful Blessed in the ranks of STAR, NEBULA, BLACK HOLE, and QUASAR to rush out of the Realm Cluster that happened to be one of the branches of a Conve known as the Glorious Light Conve of the Empyrean Realm! This was the Conve that the Young Saintess Elizabeth that Noah had met in the Abyssal ne stemmed from, and the Elders and Grand Elders of this Conve along with a myriad of Disciples rushed out to observe the appearance of this colossal Dimensional Rifts as their hearts shook with joy and fear! "This...this is a Dao Dimensional Rift!" An Elder spoke out with awe as they felt the regal aura that the colossal multicolored Rift revealed, another Elder speaking out at this moment as it revealed why they were joyful. "Its size and aura means it is nothing like a Lesser or Grand Dao Dimensional Rift! It''s...its¡­!" "A Cosmic Dimensional Rift." RUMBLE! A Grand Elder that was the leader of this branch of the Glorious Light Conve spoke out as the mood in the surroundings instantly turned sour. This was also the reason why they were also fearful! It was because in history, never had it urred even once that a Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift appeared in the Empyrean ne. Such a thing only appeared in the Celestial Realm where powerful beings that had achieved great ranks in power resided. Such a thing happening now meant a great deal of trouble as even it appeared near their region...the Elders of the Glorious Light Conve knew they couldn''t keep it to themselves! It was like they were peasants that had found a sleeping princess, but this princess did not and could not belong to them as there were much wealthier and stronger men waiting to snatch her. "..." The gaze of all the Elders and Grand Elders were somber even in the midst of this glorious point of luck, one of the Grand Elders holding amunication medallion as she alerted the main branch of their Conves to send in the Ancient Elders that had far exceeded the Realm of QUASAR...the beings that had gone even further above and were given the title of Sages! "We are the first to find it...so we will use it and get as much as we can before other forces arrive. Grand Elders Kong, Luther¡­" The ruling voice of the leading Grand Elder pointed out toward multiple Elders as multiple teams were formed, these powerful existences trying to get their hands on whatever loot a Rift like this granted as they also moved with care. This was because any Dao Dimensional Rift at the Cosmic level was something very few understood, as all of them had multicolored auras surrounding their Rifts with their Levels not being known until one entered them! But it was established that within, one would even face enemies at the level of Sages or Great Sages...something that only the top tier Conves of the Empyrean ne had. "We''re ready, Grand Elder Lior!" The teams were quickly set up as it was only beings at the QUASAR Realm and a few in the lower Rank of BLACK HOLE, the disciples only watching with fascination from behind on something they thought they would only ever stare at from afar. The leading team of Elders from the Glorious Light Conve nodded at this time as 15 of them flew out, growing towards the glimmering multicolored Rift that seemed to be inviting them in when¡­ PAH! A shocking sound resounded out as if something was pped back, the disheveled figure of 15 powerful Elders actually being flung out at this moment as the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift...actually denied them entrance! ¡­! "What?!" The Grand Elder had a disheveled expression as nowhere in his Expansive knowledge of the Cosmic Dimensional Rifts that existed in the Celestial ne...did one exist that denied entrance to others. These powerful beings of the Empyrean Conves were actually denied entrance as they spent a few minutes trying over and over again with the same results, the faces of the Elders turning ashen as they seemed out of options. They looked at the enormous piece of pie that had fallen out of the sky and they couldn''t eat it, their gazes despairing until a single Elder spoke up with a certain idea. "We''ve...only tried the powerful Elders and Grand Elders, what if this Rift has an entrance condition that we don''t meet, what if¡­" ¡­! Once the idea was spoken out, the eyes of many Elders gleamed as a myriad of experiments were carried out. Soon after that, the Elders watched on in shock as while none of them with their immense power could enter, when the disciples were tested...it was found out they could enter! The shock and awe towards this newly appearing Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift only increased as numerous tests were carried out to find the specifications of entry and why, the news of this Rift very quickly spreading out across the powerhouses of the Empyrean Conves. Noah with the many Subjugated Blessed he had spread out across the ne would only find out about this hourster in the middle of his Abyssal ne Expedition! Chapter 163 - The Appearance Of A Mysterious Cosmic Dao Rift! I As a certain region of the Empyrean ne began to buzz with activity from the appearance of a mysterious Cosmic Rift, Noah had finished his preparations as he reappeared in the Abyssal ne! After two weeks, this would be the first time that Noah put in a lot of work as he undertook the Abyssal Expedition. He had continued to clear the features of the Tower of Champions, the Shattered Dimensional nes, and the Infinite Crucible in a bid to advance higher and find another Fate Spirit to lead him to an Incandescent Fate Treasure ne, but he had his Units that did a majority of the work for this. What he loved about the Abyssal ne was its endless Abyssal Fiends he could use Soul Devourer on. Even the air didn''t seem all that bad to him as he stretched his hands out and breathed in deep with a smile on his face. Off to the side, Annalise rolled her eyes as her eyes began to carefully check their surroundings. "We''re aiming for something even bigger than Minor Fiend Nests?" Her icy voice came out behind him as Noah nodded with a smile, the 8 Blessed he brought along with Annalise beginning to move in a formation as he also waved his hands to cause for the appearance of 14 ginormous Rift Bosses! "Yep. We''ll graduate from Minor Fiend Nests and see just how concentrated and powerful the ones at the Neb Rank would be. I''m itching to test out my new abilities on them!" ¡­! Noah spoke with enthusiasm as he continued to nce over the newly unlocked abilities he obtained from advancing into the NEBULA Rank while their figures tore through the skies of the Abyssal ne. ||Mind Dominator|| :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future.

Three new abilities were gained from the Inherent Skills with the advancement to Neb, each of theming with their own terrifying uses as there were offensive ones and auxiliary abilities that were justpletely bonkers. You first had [sma Generation], an ability that actually allowed Noah to generate terrifying bursts or beams of sma that when he tested them before...they could vaporize anything below the Star Rank as those in this Rank could only hold on for a few seconds before they sumbed themselves! The task was to now see how terrifying of an effect they would have on Neb Rank existences in this Abyssal ne. Then there was [Heresy]! [Heresy](0/5) :: An Ability that allows the user to call down the Ancient Tome of Heresy that grants them 1,000% Enhancement to All Parameters while draining the enemies around him of their Life Force to fuel them with even greater power. All those affected by the Ancient Tome of Heresy will have 1% of their Life Force drained every second. A heretical ability that granted him immense enhancements while also draining the life force of the beings around him!

[Authority of the Dominator](0/5) :: The user can seamlessly use their authority with those under their domination to borrow theirplete power momentarily, perform an instantaneous swap of body and origin as the Dominator takes the ce of the Subjugated, and the Dominator can ess any skills, abilities,ws, and Daos that the Subjugated learn. "..." This was the skill. This was the skill that made Noah shake his head endlessly at its shocking prospects for the future! When he looked below them where they could see vast numbers of Abyssal Fiends, his eyes shone brightly as he bellowed out. "Let''s go!" With a shocking set of skills in hand, Noah dove into the endless array of Abyssal Fiends. Meanwhile, news of the appearance of a mysterious Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift had inexplicably spread and many powerful Conves of the Empyrean ne rushed towards it at this very moment! After extensive trial and error, the Glorious Light Conve was able to find out that only a specific group of beings was allowed in, and it was something that depended on one''s rank and age. After testing multiple disciples, they were able toe to the conclusion that only those below the age of 100 and were in the NEBULA Realm could enter. It was a very specific requirement that made the experts question why the conditions would be so, but they couldn''t do anything but follow this thought process as they began to call forth and prepare their disciples under the age of 100 that they could spoil with resources before sending them into this wondrous Dao Dimensional Rift. But....this was when other Conves appeared in the Sunvoid Region and gazed upon the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift, a fight for the right of this mysterious rift already beginning as it was bound to be a tumultuous time! Chapter 164 - The Appearance Of A Mysterious Cosmic Dao Rift! II Since the appearance of the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift, over a day had passed. Currently, the entire area of this enormous multicolored Rift that was the size of a was cleared, not a single being approaching it! A few miles away from it, the auras of the leaders of numerous Conves could be seen as these beings emanated terrific power. Elders of Conves would normally have the rank of ck Hole while Grand Elders would have the QUASAR Rank, and then you had the Ancient Elders and Leaders of these Conves that were known as Sages and Great Sages! The titles of a Sage or a Great Sage were actually given on the vast stage that was above QUASAR, a Realm that one could only achieve after they fill their quasar to the brim with essence. To understand this, one must understand what a quasar is and what its advancement would be! A quasar is a supetive ck hole that is constantly surrounded by a gaseous retion disk, this unique ster body being also known as a gctic nucleus as naturally after one formed this gctic nucleus and advanced into the next stage¡­ They would achieve the Realm of a GALAXY! This was why the ranks went from a NEBULA that contained a myriad of stars, to copsing all of them to form a BLACK HOLE, to then cause the birth of a supetive ck Hole known as a QUASAR as finally...one would form their GALAXY. At this moment, the Conve Ancient Elders and Leaders that were within this Realm of a GALAXY, these beings that were given titles of Sages and Great Sages- they were finishing their meeting that had been ongoing for hours on what they would do with the recent appearance of the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift before them! Some held happy expressions as others looked disgruntled, but these sagely beings kept their demeanors as an old man with a majestic beard spoke out at this time. "What of the treasures children of our Chaotic Universe? What if those in the Celestial ne catch wind of this and decide toe and im this Rift as theirs?" ¡­! The bearded old man had powerful waves of power coursing through his body, but he still asked this question as it caused others to turn dark! But towards this, the strong voice of the leader of the Glorious Light Conve spoke out- a middle aged man that had a manifested GALAXY swirling beautifully on his chest. "The Celestial ne has multiple Cosmic Dao Rifts within it, they wouldn''t...or shouldn''t bother with us. Let us keep our focus on grooming the most powerful NEBULA Rank disciples under 20 to dive into this Rift as we see exactly what Cosmic Dao is hidden within. Remember, we all have to have teams ready within 24 hours!" ¡­! The leader of the Glorious Light Conve caused everyone''s expression to turn serious as they focused on the situation at hand. A Cosmic Dao Rift with mysterious conditions! They had to do all they could to get their hands on the treasures lying within. The secret to it all..y with how powerful the NEBULA Rank disciples they sent would be. If the rank was limited, that was okay. They could simply raise their strength immensely by giving them vast numbers of Law and Dao Crystals to master multiple Laws and Daos! With such thoughts in mind, the Ancient Elders and Leaders of various conves moved to select outstanding disciples and groom them to their most powerful states in just 24 hours. --- In a certain Conve known as Clear Sky Peaks. A Grand Elder was talking to a bowing disciple that had a regal air, his voice ringing out sternly. "Chambeyne...you''ve shown great battle power at your level since you returned from the Sublunary ne...and I was able to secure you a spot out of the 5 within our Conve to dive into the Cosmic Dao Rift!" ¡­! The Grand Elder spoke powerfully as the disciples nodded, looking up to see the Elder wave his hands as over a thousand sparkling Crystals appeared before him. "Raise your strength to Neb within the next hour and thene to the Treasure Trove Hall. The others will be waiting there as some Dao Crystals will be passed to you guys!" "...yes, father!" Chambein nodded with a smile as his eyes shone with shocking thoughts, Noah''s consciousness actually being the controlling force within this being as he was utterly shocked at this moment. Upon their return into the Empyrean ne, Noah had many of the Subjugated Blessed show off their power so they could obtain more resources, and out of the tens he had spread out across multiple Conves, Chambeyne was the only lucky one to actually get picked to join others on the dive of a newly appearing Rift! All the other Subjugated Blessed were still in the STAR Rank as even with their show of power, they hadn''t shown themselves enough to be chosen as the most powerful disciples to represent their conves in such an important matter. But Chambeyne had a Grand Elder for a father as they pulled strings to make things happen, with Noah about to gain a NEBULA Rank Subjugated Blessed from such a thing now and the chance to enter a Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift! One must also not forget that all the conves were nning on strengthening their chosen disciples with Dao Crystals, meaning Noah would be getting his hands on a myriad of Daos soon through the [Authority of the Dominator]. It was a wondrous surprise for Noah to receive while he was in the middle of reducing and Devouring countless Abyssal Fiends, his own power being utterly shocking at this moment as he and Annalise jumped into Fiend Nests where powerful Fiends at the rank of NEBULA roamed. BOOM! "Little sister...it seems Fate still has many things in store for me to do!" While shooting out a terrifying beam of sma through [sma Generation] that wiped out hundreds of Abyssal Fiends in front of him, Noah spoke towards Annalise that looked at him quizzically. "The chance to enter a Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift has actually fallen into myp...we''ll have to cut the trip short this time around as I prepare!" Yes! Noah himself was nning on entering and obtaining the benefits of the Cosmic Rift that Chambeyne had gotten the chance to enter. Through the [Authority of the Dominator] he would fully take over the body of this being as he chased the possibility of adding his first Dao Rift into Idle Mode! It wouldn''t be a Lesser or Grand Dao as it was actually a Cosmic Dao Rift! Chapter 165 - The Appearance Of A Mysterious Cosmic Dao Rift! III Within the Clear Sky Peaks. A group of Elders sat within a mountain peak with lush verdant greenery around them, looking towards the figure of a single being that had just finished absorbing Neb Rank cores and formed their own NEBULA within their Origin! "You''re sure about using your Life Promise on this, Grand Elder Light? I know Chambeyne showed great battle power since his return, but it might not be the same in the Neb Rank! Especially after he just advanced into this Realm. The other 4 Neb Rank Disciples chosen to enter the Cosmic Rift are much more¡­" The other Grand Elder didn''t finish his words as Elder Light shook his head and asked for him to stop. "I believe in my son. He has just advanced...but watch this!" WAA! The stern elder waved his hands towards two disciples in the Neb Rank that he had prepared behind them, these disciples being one of the more powerful ones in the Conve as they ranked rather high inbat power! They flew over to the small mountain that Noah''s subjugated Blessed was practicing on, giving him a light nod as under the watchful gazes of multiple Elders, they spoke. "Junior Brother Chambeyne, Grand Elder Light has tasked us to carry out a small duel with you. Which one of us do you want to test the power of your new realm?" ¡­! Even though the disciple seemed to be smiling, a mocking light was hidden in his eyes as he didn''t put this pampered disciple that just advanced into the rank he had been on for tens of years! Towards this though, Chambeyne, or more urately Noah- rose up with a sh of blue light coursing through his eyes as he smiled lightly and spoke. "No need. Both of you cane at once." RUMBLE! Like a strike of lightning thundering down, the two disciples looked both shocked and angry as a secondter, they actually saw Noah''s figure turn into a streak of pure golden light to attack the one that had spoken first! With shocking speed, the pure arc of light appeared in front of the disciple as it formed into a fist, this fist smashing onto the chest of the disciple as he shot out like a cannon ball and sunk into another mountain many meters away. BOOM! The other disciple had some time to react as bright green essence had erupted on his body, but the golden streak of light still made its way over to him at a fast speed as another fist formed and smashed out, hitting the defenses of this disciple as it tore them apart like paper and created another cannon ball that smashed onto a far mountain! "..." This was the power of a Subjugated being that was taken over by their Master, Noah''s own strength at this time being disyed as his shockingly strong consciousness after consuming so many souls of Abyssal Fiends made him wonder if his power was even capable of skipping realms at this moment. He had already ended the Abyssal ne Exploration as he returned Annalise home in the Ethereal Realm safe and sound, choosing to pursue the shocking appearance of the Cosmic Dao Rift more than anything else as he even briefly stopped his search for another Incandescent Treasure Trove! A Cosmic Dao Rift was a guaranteed farm of countless Cosmic Dao Crystals as long as he could clear it, this being something worth even more than anything in Noah''s eyes. WAA! The golden streak of light that was his body took human form again as only a second had passed before he had smashed away 2 beings of the Neb Rank from this powerful Conve. The scene caused even the watching Elders to gape as Grand Elder Light hid his own shock and spoke mysteriously. "And this is my Son before he has even been given Dao Crystals to enhance his power...he might just actually be the strongestbatant out of the 5 seats we have!" ¡­! Noah''s power was disyed as his position was cemented among which disciples would be going to the Cosmic Dao Rift from the Clear Sky Peaks Conve. After his advancement, an hour passed before Noah was brought by multiple Elders in front of a group of powerful disciples shimmering with power and regality, their figures descending onto the highest mountain peak of the Clear Sky Peaks. They all stood in neat lines as they looked towards a single wizened old man, this existence being the Leader of this Conve as he rubbed his long beard while waving his hands. WAA! He caused a spatial light to erupt out as with it, dazzling crystals with emanations of the Dao appeared along with his voice. "You 5 are the chosen hopes of this Conve, with your mission being to enter the Cosmic Dao Rift as youe out alive from it and find out of its mysteries!" ¡­! "If you are capable enough to understand its workings and obtain Cosmic Dao Crystals...you can bring them to the Conve as you will be rewarded with countless more Grand and Lesser Dao Crystals like the ones you see here." OOOM! His words came with waves of power as if he was magnanimously giving them a grand chance, Noahughing inside as this being really was sending his disciples into a dangerous environment and even wanted the most prized rewards of the Cosmic Dao Crystals to be returned to him! But he said nothing at this moment as he focused on the Dao Crystals before him. "Our Conve holds reins over 2 Lesser and a single Grand Dao Rift, with this Judy being a portion of our reserves. They''ll be enough to grant each of you 5% in three news Daos!" "The Lesser Daos of Four Elements and crity that will greatly enhance your battle power and speed...as well as the Grand Dao of Vastness that will enhance your mana reserves and allow you to take on enormous shapes. Use these Daos and your strength to bring us glory from this Cosmic Rift!" RUMBLE! The bodies of the 5 chosen disciples vibrated with power as they ascertained their beliefs. "Yes, Conve Master!" With Dao Crystals separating in waves anding around each of them, Noah was the first to reach out as heughed inside while enjoying just one of the boons toe from spreading his Subjugated Blessed across the Empyrean Dimensional ne! Three Daos were about to fall on hisp, and a Cosmic one was waiting for him! Chapter 166 - Entrance! After seeing the stupendous results of Chambeyne and his show of power that allowed him to be chosen for the entrance of the Cosmic Dao Rift, Noah put all that much more effort on the other Subjugated Blessed. He had them rise through the ranks of other disciples as they showed excelling battle power, and he would just wait for these beings to be groomed for him before he replied the rewards! They weren''t chosen for this round of entrants into the Cosmic Dao Rift, but it didn''t mean it would stay this way for the future. When he showed off just a little of their power that could ovee those on the same level, he expected all the Conves he had infiltrated to be using his Subjugated Blessed for the future toe! Not just for this Cosmic Dao Rift but with their rise in power within these Conves, can you imagine when enough years passed as they took positions of power and became Elders or Grand Elders? Noah would be able to have a majority of the sects under his influence as all he needed was just time! At this moment, he finished absorbing the colorful Dao Crystals of Four Elements, crity, and the Grand Dao of Vastness that the Conve Master provided. These three were powerful Daos that caused Noah''s power to shoot up even more, especially the Grand Dao of Vastness which when added to the fact that he could share his mana with his Subjugated Blessed, it made him feel like he could wildly cast skills for hours before he ran dry of mana! crity ridiculously enhanced his speed as a white light would wrap around his body and cause him to zip through the space as light as a feather. Meanwhile, the Lesser Dao of Four Elements enhanced the power of thews of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth by crazy amounts as with it- their power could even climb past that of the high tierws of Light or Chaos! "Good! Get everything ready and we will set off towards the Sunvoid Region in the next few minutes!" WAA! The voice of the Conve Master that was surrounded by multiple Elders and Grand Elders rang out after seeing their disciples adapt to their power, this party of experts being among the many that would now head towards the newly appearing Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift. Noah got in line as with a heart full of anticipation, he followed the crowd of powerful beings that had no idea someone else was in their midst! --- In the Sunvoid Region. The area was bursting with powerhouses and activity as the surrounding space was upied with a myriad of structures that represented the abodes of many Conves. But the center of attention at this moment was the groups of beings that were formed right in front of theary sized Dimensional Rift, these groups representing multiple conves and their 5 chosen disciples! Noah was among these groups of beings as he didn''t stand out too much among them, the eyes of many beings actually falling on the powerful Young Saints and Saintesses of the most powerful Conves as they expected these beings to pull out the most treasures out of the Cosmic Rift. This was because some of these disciples from truly powerful Conves that controlled many Dao Dimensional Rifts were stupendously powerfulpared to others, and it was because theyprehended multiple daos and were even further ahead with these daos due to the fact that their Conves had that many more reserves to give out From where Noah was floating, he could even see a regal image of the Young Saintess Elizabeth that he had met in the Abyssal Realm. This being was among the 5 chosen disciples of the Glorious Light Conve, her body letting off calm waves of power at the NEBULA Rank as Noah remembered her words. She had given him a medallion for him to join the Glorious Light Conve whenever he arrived in the Sunvoid Region, and Noah nned to use this chance to purely ce another being in a powerful Conve in the near future! She was surrounded by two young men and women that released terrifying waves of power and a myriad of Dao Light, this team being one of the most powerful ones here. Fatefully, Noah could also see another figure he was very familiar with, as she had been the one toe into his Sublunary ne to...y with him while she told her Conve she was training! But since she always came back with boundless amounts of loot and with her father being a Grand Elder, she was actually in a simr position as Chambeyne as she was given hundreds of Neb Rank cores and had her rank elevated, Catherine also being among the disciples to be entering the Cosmic Dao Rift from the Tenebrous Conve! Her figure shone with a mysterious allure of Destruction as Noah had a light smile when he recalled all the curves of this valiant woman he had yed with and couldn''t wait to get his hands on again. Catherine''s team was even more frightening as the 4 Disfoles around her seemed to be at the peak of the Neb Rank as their Dao Light was even more condensed! Then there was Noah and his team from the nondescript Clear Sky Peaks Conve. Aside from him, there were 3 other NEBULA Rank men and a single woman that had the demeanor of powerful geniuses, the leading disciple that seemed to be the strongest actually sending a mental message towards Noah at this moment as they waited for their entrance. "Chambeyne...just follow our lead and try not to cause too much trouble. Be especially worried of the Young Saints and Saintesses of the powerful Conves!" ¡­! "Some of themprehend over 5 Grand Daos and even more Lesser Daos, where their power in the same Rank cannot be measured on the same scale as us!" The mental message of the leading Neb Rank Disciple entered his mind as Noah smiled to give his affirmation, not bothering with these inconsequential extras as he focused on the figures of Conves Masters that were lining up before them. "Be strong in exploring this Dao Rift that none of us have experience in...and make your conves proud!" OOOOH! Waves of power and might emanated out as the disciples of many Conves bellowed out! Currently, there were over 100 Conves represented here, and these were only the most powerful ones that controlled Dao Rifts and fought for the rights of this newly appearing Rift. With each of these Conves pushing out 5 Disciples, it meant 500 NEBULA Rank Blessed would be rushing into the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift! "Enter...and bring back glorious loot!" OOOOH! The go ahead was given as the 500 disciples rushed towards the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift in waves! Chapter 167 - The Unique Trials Of A Cosmic Dimensional Rift! I In front of a wondrously shining multicolored Dimensional Rift that was a sizerger than most stars, groups of beings were rushing into it as they left behind shocking power and might! 500 NEBULA Rank Blessed from a myriad of Conves all went in, the workings of Cosmic Rifts being something that these Conves wanted to understand and explore first before anything else. Noah''s group of 5 was being led by a Young Saint of the Clear Sky Peaks Conve called Richard, this being''s eyes shing with a beautiful green light as he led their group that was nearly stationed in the back into the rift. "Let''s go!" The others followed as Noah moved with the group silently, the bright allure of the Cosmic Rift before him nearing his body as his figure finally came in contact with it and smoothly passed through! OOOM! His origin buzzed as it weaved through a great deal of spatial turbulence, this turbulence ending just as quickly as it arrived as they very soon found themselves in a different environment. "Ah¡­" If Noah had to describe it in one word...he would say beautiful! There was sparkling green vegetation with Incandescent morning dew all around them, the area they appeared in being t ins that shone with a gorgeous luster. What was most pressing though...was the atmospheric essence all around them! It was extremely dense as it had actually liquefied in the air, where one could see a myriad of colored liquid floating in the air around then. Just the atmospheric essence seemed to be 100 times that of the outside world! It was so dense that Noah could see disciples actually sitting down in a meditative position and actually cultivating at this moment, drawing in the essence around them as their bodies seemed to be screaming in joy. Such were the beautiful ins they were in! But when one expanded their eyes further ahead, they would be able to notice this beautiful t ins only extending for a few miles, and after that...everything was surrounded by a fog. A heavy and dense fog that wrapped around the ins in a circr manner, containing all of the 500+ NEBULA Rank disciples within! At the exact center of the ins, a Blue runic circle pulsed as even when Noah looked at it, it seemed to tell him that if he wanted to leave this wondrous Cosmic Dimensional Rift, he could just step on this runic magic circle. But the powerful and prideful beings that had entered only had their eyes on the fog surrounding them...and what they could find past it! Some had their heads rising to the skies with pride as they emanated power, with the air of power surrounding a few Young Saints and Saintesses as the essence of many Daos swirled around them. Three particr groups of being stood out from all the disciples as they were currently congregating together right in front of the fog and discussing something with vibrant voices. "From the information of the first fee entrants, this Rift is extremely unique in its methods as it actually gives a trial if anyone wishes to pass...with this fog being something that prevents others from proceeding forward if they aren''t powerful enough!" A Young Saintess with a rose disposition spoke coldly, those around her nodding as a golden hair man that seemed to be the Leader of this group of 15 beings spoke. "Since all of us are in the same Realm of power, this fog should be testing our Dao hearts, perception, and strength of our minds in order to sessfully traverse it to the other side." ¡­! The golden hair of this being waved majestically as with a devilishly handsome face and golden eyes, he was the prime Young Saint of one of the three most powerful Conves- the Seers of the Stars! "It is meant to weed out the truly strong amongst the NEBULA Rank among us, with those of lower quality not even being able to take a few steps in." As he said this, this exceptional being actually nced at the 500 odd beings around them, his head raised to the skies with power and pride as those around himughed. "Young Saint Eric, you''re always so vibrant everywhere you go!" The leaders of the other 2 groups of 5 standing near him looked at him with lightughter, these beings leading the groups that stemmed from the other 2 most powerful Conves of the Empyrean ne- the Golden Karmic Conve and the Order of the High Legion! The Seers of the Stars, Golden Karmic Conve, and the Order of the High Legion- these were the three most powerful Conves in the Empyrean Dimensional ne as its disciples took the lead I this Cosmic Rift, the Young Saint Eric being the first to head forward while speaking out. "On the other side...could be boundless rewards or even more trials waiting¡­.!" His words roused everyone up as they stared at the fog around them with impassioned eyes, all these beings actually rushing towards the fog a secondter as they had to get their hands on what was on the other side! But¡­ "Ah!" "No¡­!" Screams began to resound out multiple times from those who just entered, multiple prideful disciples screaming out incoherently before they were actually thrown out of the fog in a disheveled manner. One of them breathed out heavily as he spoke with an ashen face. "Illusions...you''re actually also attacked by illusions as when you can''t defend against them, you''re thrown out!" RUMBLE! The words let others know more about the nature of the fog before them, many beginning to walk towards it slowly as Catherine''s valiant figure was among the very forefront. Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he watched all this his group of 5 seemed to have already proceeded forward without him as they left him behind! With nobody paying attention to him, he swiftly began walking towards the dense fog as his smile betrayed his thoughts. ''A fog that has illusions and requires a strong mind to get through? Haha!'' Mind and soul were the few things he could say in the same Rank that he was unrivaled! So his figure plunged into the fog speedily as the heavy resistance others felt...seemed like nothing to him. A prideful Young Saint was walking through the fog with a tough expression, sweat collecting on his brows when all of a sudden, he felt as if something had passed right beside him at a fast pace! "Huh?" He raised his head quizzically as he saw nothing, shaking his head and refocusing as he continued his hard journey across the fog. Meanwhile, the only Dimensional Ruler of the Sublunary ne tore across faster than all other disciples as he went deeper into the Dao Dimensional Rift! Chapter 168 - The Unique Trials Of A Cosmic Dimensional Rift! II Outside of the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift, the Leaders and Elders of the Conves were floating in the void of space calmly as they awaited the results of their disciples. "What Cosmic Dao do you think will stem from this Rift?" "Who knows? The multicolored aurora on the rift doesn''t give off any clues, we''ll just have to wait and see¡­" Discussions were urring throughout as the Leaders and Elders of the Conves of the Empyrean ne talked amongst themselves, but their expressions actually changed very quickly as all of them turned their gazes a few hundred miles above them! This was because here, they could see a crack beginning to form in space, this crack widening as time passed and from it...an enormousary sized ship could be seening out! ¡­! "This¡­!" The expressions of the Elders of Conves changed rapidly as they turned ashen, looking towards this enormous interster ship they came out of the crack in space majestically,ing near them in but a blink of an eye. Its golden and ck metallic glint brightened the surroundings as from it, tens of powerful auras flew out! These auras far epassed the Leaders and Elders of the Conves of the Empyrean ne as when they nced at the descending figures, they smiled bitterly while calling out under their breath. "The forces of the Celestial ne¡­." Yes! The one thing they feared actually came true, with the forces of the Celestial ne above them actually descending down for this Rift that appeared within their ne! It was after all a Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift, but they didn''t think it would draw the attention of these beings as they had such Rifts in the Celestial ne. But the reality was as it was as soon enough, dozens of powerhouses dressed up in linen gold robes nced towards them impassively. They focused their eyes on theary sized Dao Dimensional Rift behind the forces from the Empyrean ne as one of the beings at the very forefront spoke coldly. "You all...haven''t sent anyone in this Rift, right?!" RUMBLE His voice was cold and domineering as it required an answer, the Realm of this existence being far above QUASAR or GALAXY as he surpassed the levels of the titled Sages and Great Sages that the Elders and Leaders of Conves took! Towards his words, the Leaders of the Seers of the Stars, Golden Karmic Conve, and the Order of the High Legion- the three most powerful Conves in the Empyrean Dimensional ne...these beings stepped forward to take the pressure and speak. "We...have sent 500 of our NEBULA Rank disciples to explore this Dao Dimen-" "FOOLS!" WAA! The words of the Conve Leader didn''t even finish before a bellow came from the Golden robed existence from the Celestial ne, a horrifying aura erupting from him as it smashed onto the figures of the three Conve Leaders! "You uncultured existences actually moved so fast to ruin something you can''t even imagine the importance of!" "Ah¡­!" The Conve Leaders that were esteemed beings on their own right and normally held their heads high with pride spit out blood as their bodies shook, their Origins actually suffering heavy damage from the attack of this single existence from the Celestial ne. The other existences that flew from the interster ship adopted cols expression as they moved around the area of the Rift, their voicesing out in waves. "Roll the fuck away from the perimeters of the Dimensional Rift. Anyone still here after a minute will personally have their limbs torn apart by me!" ¡­! In a domineering manner, these powerful beings spoke as the Leaders and Elders of various conves were utterly shocked, not expecting the forces of the Celestial ne to act this domineering and unruly when it came to this Dimensional Rift. What made it so important that they would do something so overboard? Seeing the ashen expressions of the forces of the Empyrean ne as they left the perimeters of the Rift, the first and most powerful golden robed being spoke once more with his hands sped behind his back. "You all are bumpkins that don''t understand the weight of your actions. This Dimensional Rift...is no normal Rift as it has been discovered by us for the past thousands of years!" ¡­! The words caused the inhabitants of the Empyrean ne to gape in shock as this powerful existence continued. "It is not a Rift that stays in one ce as after a thousand beings enter it and they fail to clear its trials...the Rift will disappear as it will only reappear after some years pass into another location." WAA! "You fools actually already used 500 spots with weaklings that cannot do a single fucking thing. You can pray you didn''t send in over a thousand as I would have taught you all a heavy lesson at that point." ¡­! Yes! This Dao Dimensional Rift had actually been a phenomenon that urred in the Celestial ne over the past thousands of years, this Rift appearing and disappearing within the Celestial ne every time that over 1000 beings entered it and they then failed the trials within it. The Dimensional Rift would disappear for a few years and appear in another location in the Celestial ne thereafter, causing the powerhouses within to once more look at which conditions of entrance it had as they tried again by sending in their powerful disciples. But even after it appeared and reappeared many times, even the forces of the Celestial ne weren''t able to clear it under its changing requirements, but its rewards in the first few trials of the Rift alone made them ecstatic! It made them want to clear everything within this Dao Rift, but they never seeded as it continued to disappear and reappear over the years. As if this Dimensional Rift was searching for something! It had appeared in multiple locations in the Celestial ne as now for the first time ever...it actually did not reappear within this ne after itsst disappearance. It instead appeared in the lower Empyrean ne, and their forces only found out about this after a day had passed! It seemed the chances given to the Celestial ne were over, and whatever this Rift was searching for made its next location be in the Empyrean ne! Chapter 169 - A Legacy That Stretches Across Dimensions! I 500 existences were sent within the newly appearing Cosmic Dimensional Rift as only now could the forces of the Celestial ne take control. This was an extremely unideal situation for them as they considered these 500 spots extremely precious, and now weak wastrels from the Empyrean ne were sent in! "Paragon Eric, we''ve notified the Dimensional Hegemonies about its reappearance here. We''ll begin collecting the most capable NEBULA Rank disciples to enter soon." A being bowed to the golden robed expert that had been telling off the most powerful existences of the Empyrean ne, this being known as Paragon Eric nodding as his eyes shone with utter power and might! ''Even with these fools sending 500 dredges...we have prepared enough that our forces should be able to clear much more of this Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift¡­'' Yes! A Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift was whaty before them...something that was left behind by someone truly powerful as those that entered it said when they came back that this Rift had powerful Trials that seemed to be looking for the most powerful beings of certain Realms! As Paragon Eric thought of the possible gains to be made from this Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift, terrifying thoughts swirled in his mind as more and more powerful forces were brought into y, the surroundings of the Rift bing extremely chaotic. Meanwhile, Noah was about to clear the first trial and even obtain the fastest timepared to any other beings that had entered this Rift in the past thousands of years, with him only finding out about the events outside minutester as his Subjugated Blessed within the conves received news of it! Going through the boundless fog, he could routinely feel the presence of terrifying illusions heading his way as they tried to enter his psyche, but his mind was so obscenely strong that the illusions would be decimated the moment they approached him. He was actually going through the fog at an extremely fast pace as if one could view everything transparently from above, they would be able to see the figures of 499 beings clustered closely together on the outer ring of the fog, and a single figure that represented Noah already about to leave the vast circr area of this fog! PAH! Within seconds, as if a bubble had been popped...Noah appeared on the other side of the fog as his cerulean eyes shone brightly for what was before him. The area glimmered with the aura of gorgeous loot light, but also the auras of terrifying beasts! The area that Noah appeared in seemed to be another circr environment where the one his feet were currently on was verdant lush greenery, but a mile away, there was a distinct line drawn as it seemed to distinctify another area. Within this area, Noah could see huge golden altars that held shimmering crystals above them...and each of these altars were surrounded by terrifying beasts letting out strong waves of power at the NEBULA Rank! The altars were separated a few miles in between for each of them as they held 10 NEBULA Rank beasts within their confines, and Noah''s eyes could see a vast number of altars before him that stretched for hundreds of miles. As for the crystals above the glimmering golden Altars? Of course, they were Dao Crystals! All of them shimmered with an intense aura of the Dao without question as they nearly made Noah salivate! But as he took his first step forward¡­ THRUM! A brilliant golden light descended down from the skies as it wrapped around Noah, this golden light eventuallying to settle above his head as it formed a golden shape of a glowing and pulsating star. Noah''s awareness picked this up in a stupor as a secondter, golden words actually appeared before him along with a voice that entered directly into his mind! [Congrattions for passing the first Trial of the Great Usurper''s Legacy. You have achieved the Fastest All Time Clear on the First Trial and have been granted the 5th Tier Golden Star of the Usurper, a mark capable of allowing you two deaths and resurrections within the grounds of the Trials. The 5th Tier Golden Star of the Usurper also allows you to freely reap the rewards of 5 Golden Altars on the Second Trial.] ¡­! [Defeating the Void Beasts and clearing a single Golden Altar allows one the option to proceed into the Third Trial. Good Luck.] Noah read the words as the voice buzzed in his mind, looking forward in shock as it was also around this time that some of the Subjugated Blessed he had spread out across the many Conves received the news of what had just transpired outside of the Dimensional Rift. His mind swirled with a myriad of information as he realized this was unlike any Dimensional Rift he had entered...and it made him all the more excited to clear it and have it added into Idle Mode! "Something that even those in the Celestial ne want, huh¡­" Noah spoke out as he received a myriad of information from his Subjugated Blessed, his eyes shining brilliantly as he looked at the many circles that contained golden altars and terrifying beasts before him. This was the second trial of the Great Usurper''s Legacy, and it provided immense rewards if one could defeat the 10 NEBULA Rank Beasts present within the specially drawn bounds of the altars! Trial takers could choose whichever altar to battle and obtain the treasures of as at this moment...Noah actually had the first pick for 5. Due to his fastest clear time of the First Trial, he could actually freely take the rewards from 5 Golden Altars as when he thought of the parties of beings going through the fog toe here and the even more powerful beings from the Celestial ne that would soon be entering...his feet moved away from the green safe zone as he went towards the areas of the Golden Altars! WAA! He crossed the mile long distance extremely quickly as his feet stepped outside the boundary of the safe zone, entering one of the zones of the Golden Altars as the 10 terrifying Neb Rank Void Beasts that released waves of differing Dao Essences...did not move to attack Noah. The 5th Tier Golden Star of the Usurper released a golden wave of light that seemingly disabled the powerful beasts that looked like huge bat-like golems with golden runic markings running across their bodies, Noah swiftly walking across their 50 meter tall bodies as they remained still like statues! He passed through all of them as he arrived in front of the Golden Altar, his eyes releasing rays of blue light as he could count over 50 glimmering Dao Crystals on the Altar! As for the Dao...Noah''s eyes shed lightly as the information rose up. [Grand Dao Crystal of Incandescence] ¡­! A myriad of Dao Crystalsy before Noah as he delved deep into a Legacy Dao Dimension that others were barely trying to pass the first trial of! Chapter 170 - A Legacy That Stretches Across Dimensions! II Incandescence! It was 100 Dao Crystals of the Grand Dao of Incandescence, Noah looking at these colorfully shining crystals as he nearly salivated. But the thought of the droves of beings crossing the fog behind him as this moment making their way here and the even stronger ones that would soon be sent in by the forces of the Celestial ne made Noah move fast as he didn''t stand to appreciate the wondrously colorful Dao Crystals. He instead waved his hands to put all of them into his inventory as his figure flew from this ring and into another one that contained a simr Golden Altar! Simr to the first one, the golden mark above his head released a burst of light that washed over the terrifying and titanous Void Beasts guarding the Altar, Noah smoothing flying through them as his eyesnded on the Dao Crystals of this Altar. [Grand Dao Crystal of Destruction]. The shining Dao Crystals of Destruction awaited him as he swiped them all away! A few secondster, he stood in front of the third Altar as it held Crystals of the Grand Dao of Vastness, and he moved once more as in another few seconds, he was given 100 Dao Crystals for the Dao of the Sword! His heart thumped as he obtained such treasures with ease, but it was all due to his fast clearing of the First Trial that granted him the Golden Mark of the Usurper. He quickly appeared in front of the fifth altar as the golden light from the mark swirling above him shone once more, this mark bing dimmer after this as Noah got his hands on another 100 Dao Crystals of Incandescence. 5 Altars, 4 different Grand Daos! If Noah went around clearing the many rings containing Altars within this second Trial...he could very likely obtain 1000 Dao Crystals of each Dao as he couldpletelyprehend them right then and there¡­ Such a thought caused his eyes to release a gorgeous blue light as he gazed upon the 6th Altar nearest to him. Right now, there would be no mark to stop the Void Beasts from attacking him as he would have to fight them for the ess of the Golden Altars. Bit when it came to this...Noah was not the least bit worried! "I wonder...how do the souls of Void Beasts taste?" WAA! Domineering words erupted from his mouth as a devilish smile appeared on his face, essence undting from his body as he stepped out of the bounds of the 5th Altar and entered into the 6th! THRUM! The 10 golden inscribed Void Beasts within had their bodies lighting up the moment he entered. Deadly waves of multiple Dao Essences of Grand and Lesser Daos waving off of them as their gazes honed in on Noah. Average or even normal NEBULA Rank existences would be extremely hard-pressed to face beings such as this alone, but Noah only had a light smile as his figure lit up brightly, his voice ringing out. [Ancient Eye of Terror]. ¡­! His eyes released deadly rays of light thatnded on the monstrous figures of the bat-like golden Void Beasts! [Tome of Heresy]. An Ancient Tome of Heresy unfurled above the Void Beasts as it released horrific lights that stuck onto them and Noah, granting him +1,000% to All of his Parameters while draining 1% of the life force of his enemies every second! RUMBLE! And then after all this¡­ [sma Generation]. Bursts of terrifying sma that could vaporize average beings of the same Rank as Noah began to materialize as they pulsed with shocking power, sting towards the 10 Void Beasts mercilessly at this moment! Noah was going all out at this moment as he wanted to test the full extent of his power- of his mind based Inherent Abilities that were ridiculously enhanced by his strong soul that he only made more overpowered by the day with the bugged Soul Devouring ability. "Ruler''s Emanation." The very atmosphere also began to tremble as Noah threw himself into the battle, his bright eyes shing with powerful light as his right hand also rose up...causing over 10 swirls to open up behind him as they represented even more terrifying reinforcements. The swirls were releasing terrifying Rift Bosses as for the sake of efficiency and clearing a lot of the Golden Altars before others began toe, Noah also called out his terrifying Units that ranged from STAR all the way to NEBULA. ROAAR! Fantastical might began to emanate out as something shocking was about to begin in the Second Trial of the Legacy of the Great Usurper! Behind this vast space, there were many prideful Blessed from the Empyrean Conves crossing the fog with difficulty, the strength of their soups nowhere close to Noah as they actually struggled in this area. Those from the strongest Conves were prideful as they thought they were leading the way forward, expectant to get their hands on bountiful rewards as they forged ahead. Then...there were the powerful forces now taking things over outside of the Dimensional Rift! Aside from the single interster ship that had arrived, there were now 5 more as glorious powerhouses of the Celestial ne continued to arrive one after another. The entire area around the Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift was secured tightly as nobody coulde around it in any direction without the permission of those from the Celestial ne! One thing to note was that aside from the powerful Paragon Eric that had first arrived with the initial Interster ship, there were now auras even more powerful than his as the most powerful beings within the Celestial ne known as Dimensional Hegemonies had now been alerted on the whereabouts of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift! Dimensional Hegemonies! We have to make clear the rankings of power for the future toe, but the most important thing to understand was that thosebeled as Dimensional Hegemonies lorded over all beings in the Celestial ne. Now, they had even arrived in the Empyrean ne as the importance ced on whatever Legacy lying within the rift before them was something that even they wanted. They had their most powerful Disciples from the Celestial ne prepared to enter and obtain this Legacy, not even putting in their eyes the 500 that had entered and wasted precious slots within. Something that none of them could have predicted was...what would happen if it wasn''t the forces of the Empyrean ne nor the Celestial ne getting their hands on a Legacy that had been fought over for thousands of years? What would happen when an entirely different force came and grabbed it right from under their noses?! Chapter 171 - Who Did This?! I In the void of space near the enormous multicolored Rift. Paragon Eric was currently standing behind a newly arriving figure that had adorned a simple white robe, this being holding a calm smile on his face as he listened to Eric and all the other beings around him. He raised his hands soon enough to quiet things down as he spoke. "We''re only left behind with a little over 500 slots this time around, but we are much more prepared. Especially since the restrictions this time around are ced at the Neb Rank." With a steady voice, this being that was a level higher than Paragon Eric spoke, everyone around him paying attention as their eyes traveled to where his gaze was currently focused on! It was on an orderly lined up group of NEBULA Rank Blessed that released a shocking air of power, each of them equipped in shocking armaments and releasing the aura of multiple lesser and Grand Daos. "The goal for them this time around will be to pass the first few trials and bring back the Cosmic Dao Crystals in thetter trials. I don''t expect the 500 they sent in to even be capable of passing the third Trial so there should be no problems...with that said, have them enter!" RUMBLE Mana reverberated out as the being gave amand, this existence being a powerful Dimensional Hegemony that was also paying attention to the Legacy Rift before them, others like him already making their way into the ''backward'' Empyrean ne to see what benefits woulde out this time around! The powerful forces they prepared in the Rank of NEBULA began to enter the Rift, those inside only being alerted of the changes by their Conves that were now observing the situation in the outer perimeters of the Cosmic Rift. Inside the Rift, many more beings appeared on the verdant lush ins as they began to stare towards the Mystic Fog, while others were barely halfway through it at this moment as they pushed their bodies to hurry! In a certain region, the figure of Catherine could be seen walking at a slow pace through the fog, her face scrunched up as sheined beneath her breath. "What a pain in the ass this is...if that guy was able toe here, he''d probably already be across this stupid fog wouldn''t he?" She spoke lightly as she was already separated from her team within the fog, recalling the face of someone that had been making her life very easy in the past weeks as she wondered what would have happened if he was here! But she didn''t need to wonder. Past the fog, in the second level where vibrant Golden Altars stood. BOOM! Shocking explosions were reverberating out as abilities capable of changing the color of the very skies rained down. The shocking scene of a single being sping his hands behind his back as beams of sma formed all around him and struck down mercilessly while titanic Rift Bosses moved around him to sh with golden colored Void Beasts was being yed out in a ster fashion! All one could see were broken bodies of Void Beasts for a few miles, with the Golden Altars they protected being empty of the treasures they held as Noah was already on his 5th Altar. As for the way he was clearing 10 powerful Void Beasts with a myriad of Daos supporting them? ROAAR It was of course due to the terrifying Units before him in the Neb Rank. His team had 8 of them currently as there were three huge Light Dragons termed Star Devouring Tyrant Emperor, three Light Sentinels termed Luminous Star Protectors, and two Phoenixes shining gloriously green as they were termed Imperious Phoenix Emperors! After thetest fusion of STAR Ranked Units into Neb Rank, Noah got his hands on these terrifying beings that didn''t just have their respectivews fully assimted, but they had been given Lesser Daos based on their elemental nature as the might they released was something no average NEBULA existence couldpare to. As he continued to endlessly receive Idle Resources from his current Star Rank Dimensional Rifts, even more of these Units would appear as the force he could control would be shocking to say the least! He was at this moment using such a force to clear the second trial in a way that no others could, as very few could Summon and call forth such arge number of supporters to aid them. This was how over 50 Golden Altars had fallen down as he got his hands on 5,000 Grand Dao Crystals in a short period of time! 5,000! It was a number of Dao Crystals that evenrge scale Conves would be hard-pressed to produce, and Noah had taken all of them in the span of a few minutes. They weren''t even here at this moment as Noah had been absorbing them as he received them, and this caused his power to be rising at a ridiculous rate in the past few minutes as the 5,000 Dao Crystals were divided into the Grand Daos of Incandescence, Destruction, Vastness, and the Sword! He had gained over a thousand Dao Crystals of these Daos as he had ridiculously been able to gainplete Comprehension in them in a matter of minutes. Minutes! Theyy before him silently as all he had to do was take them, and so he did as it ced him where he was currently. It granted him the {Aura of a Grand Controller} of another 3 Daos, where aside from Destruction...Noah now fullyprehended Vastness, Incandescence, and the Dao of the Sword! It was enough that the number of his Daos and how far away he had traversed in them was already on the level of the prideful Saints and Saintess from the Celestial ne that were just sent into the Legacy Rift, and he was about to surpass them in the quality of Dao Essences as yet another Golden Altar fell and he forged forward. "Faster!" RUMBLE As he felt like the Disciples of the Empyrean Conves were about to break from the fog, Noah moved with even more fervor as his beautiful blue eyes shone splendrously, his vast Mana Reserves being tested as he constantly formed the horrifying rays of sma that now contained the essence of 4 Grand Daos. With a Tome of Heresy floating above him as well as an Ancient Eye of Terror descending down every few seconds, the Void Beasts continued to fall as he reaped all the rewards. It was around this time that the most powerful and prideful of the Young Saints and Saintesses from the three most powerful Conves were about to make their appearance after they had spent so long passing through the fog. What these beings would find themselves facing when they arrived on the second level¡­ Ah! Chapter 172 - Who Did This?! II Scenes of destruction and chaos were all that could be seen. Noah watched coldly as one of his Neb Rank Units rained down golden lightning and finished off thest Void Beast on the 100th Golden Altar, his mental essence barreling forward as he took the glimmering Dao Crystals at the very center. The moment this urred, a golden light shed! [The maximum number of clearable Golden Altars by a single trial taker has been reached.] [Exemry results far exceeding all past contestants, gained Tier 3 Golden Mark of the Usurper. Will be teleported into the Third Trial Grounds shortly.] Noah saw the words in front of him and heard the voice in his mind as even this wondrous Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift seemed to not want him to take everything for himself! His boons this time around were tremendous as he got his hands on many Grand Dao Crystals and obtainedplete Comprehension in all 4. When one nced at his body, they would see it suffused with a glow of resplendent colors from multiple Dao Essences that one would normally only see from prized disciples from the Celestial ne! Noah himself looked at these showy colors as he nodded, recalling his Units as a sh of spatial light covered him and sent him away soon after. A few seconds after he left, there was a rumbling from the fog one had to cross before they could even nce at the myriad of Golden Altars, a figure of a being popping through as even though one could see the tiredness in his eyes, this being had a proud expression as we walked out like a peacock! He had his arms sped around his back to look sagely as he stepped forward lightly, his pride only increasing when he thought he had arrived here first from the silence all around. But when his awareness spread out to the circr rings that used to contain Void Beasts and glimmering Dao Crystals on top of Golden Altars¡­ ¡­! His expression changed to one of utter shock as he saw the chaos and destruction before him, 100 Golden Altars entirely decimated as there were only a few hundred remaining far away from him! It seemed like 25% of all the glimmering Golden Altars were cleared at this moment! Such a scene was shocking as this Young Saint from one of the three strongest Conves in the Empyrean ne knew someone other than him had arrived here a long time ago and did this, and they were already gone at this moment as they might have proceeded forward. "..." This disciple had no words as he could only take it in, but this was when the fog behind him roiled as more and more figures popped out. When one arrived, so would the rest. But this time, it wasn''t just the Disciples of the Empyrean Conves that came out of the fog. The resplendent Young Saints of the Celestial ne had entered and made quick strides across the oppressive fog, these beings having obtained first hand information about the trials of this Legacy Dimensional Rift as they brought with them Dao Weapons capable of withstanding soul pressure and destroying illusions! So when the most powerful Disciples of the Empyrean Conves stepped out, dozens of the newly sent beings from the Celestial ne grandly made their way out as even they arrived...they could only also stare nkly at the scene before them. WAA! The body of all of the powerful Young Saints and Saintesses from the Celestial ne were shaking as they recalled the words of the Hegemonies and Paragons for their purpose within this Rift today. "Obtain as many Golden Altars as possible...but make sure that each of you only clear 1 so that many of you obtain the ticket to the next trial, that is the most important one!" ¡­! On the second trial, a bit over 400 Golden Altars existed as depending on how fast one came out of the fog, more than half of the contestants would be eliminated here. Now that 100 of these Altars were gone¡­ RUMBLE! The prideful Disciples from the Celestial ne were filled with anger as they turned towards the beings from the Empyrean Conves that were observing the scene before them with stupor as well! "Who...who did this?!" Dao Essence spread out as a powerful Young Saint from the Celestial ne bellowed out, but none of them had any answers as there was nobody to hold ountable! The Disciples from the Celestial ne observed this scene with sunken faces as a leading one among them stepped up while his aura began to re out madly, his voice ringing out. "From here on out...none of the disciples from the Empyrean Conves will be making any moves to advance within this Rift!" ¡­! "What?!" "How can we..?!" Bursts of anger rose from all around as the one that had spoken had his aura re out even more as his voice rang out. "If you still want your Conves to exist when you leave here, you will follow these words obediently." "..." Domineering! Prideful! Powerful! This was the air that this Disciple and all other disciples from the Celestial ne released, those from the Empyrean Conves actually finding themselves not being able to move forward. Catherine was among the groups that had just broken through the fog as even she...only had an expression of anger and disgust as she didn''t move! Now that their chances to advance were taken away, their unwilling eyes traveled to the 100 cleared rings with golden Altars as they thought of what could have possibly happened before their arrival. The hearts of all of them were in turmoil as they wondered- just which group of beings were so powerful to break out of the fog so early and even clear 100 Golden Altars before proceeding forward? This question would go unanswered as the culprit of all this had already proceeded towards the third trial. This trial...was one that caused Noah''s blue eyes to take in a fantastical scene he had never even imagined. His figure was teleported onto a small tform floating in space, and before his eyes where glimmering stars should have been....he saw a vast number of floating inds that stretched out across the horizon! Chapter 173 - A Myriad Of Lives Across Dimensions! I A vast number of floating indsy before Noah, each of them dangling in space as they created for a fantastical scene. His own figure was standing upon a tform that was floating in this starry space, his environment having entirely changed as it didn''t even seem to be in a Dimensional Rift anymore! He didn''t have to wait long before a voice stretched into his mind and words appeared before his eyes. [Due to the exemry clearance of the second trial, you have gained an additional 3 chances of death and resurrection as you progress through the trials.] [The third trial requires one to descend onto the Miniature Dimensions. It will test your will and power as every time you step into the Dimension, you will forget who you are as you will begin to live an entirely different life¡­] Yes! The third trial of this Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift actually had one descend only the myriad of floating inds that were floating apace, these inds actually being Miniature Dimensions! They would forget about themselves when they stepped into these Dimensions as their goal was to survive and eventually wake up to realize who they were, regaining their memories. Only then would they be considered to have cleared the Miniature Dimension as they could proceed onto the next one. These Miniature Dimensions also had a unique Temporal element to them, where almost no time passed outside them as one could experience years within for only seconds to have passed outside! [The rewards of clearing a Miniature Dimension vary, with the ones located further ahead even containing Cosmic Dao Crystals. Find a pathway across the Dimensions as you live a myriad of lives and locate thest Miniature Dimension that will contain a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper.] ¡­! Noah''s eyes shone brightly at such a message, his eyes once more looking at the numerous floating inds that covered his eyesight and stretched out as far as he could see across space. Live an entirely different life in every Dimension...and one had to wake up to their true selves in order to clear it and proceed onto the next one! "Interesting¡­" Noah couldn''t help but utter out as he let out a breath, his figure going forward without hesitation as he entered into the bubble of the nearest floating ind before him- of the Miniature Dimension! An instant sh of light urred as within a moment, his figure disappeared into the first Miniature Dimension. It was an extremely unique experience as when he delved in, Noah actually did lose his memories as he found himself on a small field, a broken down house behind him as he was hoisting a hoe on his back, ready to plow the fields. His first life...was a farmer! Being destitute and living in a barrennd, he had to make a living by the day as if he wasn''t more capable, he would find himself starving or losing everything he had! When trial takers normally stepped on these Dimensions, they live the life of a farmer for many years before the most powerful geniuses wake, with others never being able to wake up as their soul and convictions weren''t strong enough. As for Noah- as he was about to get ready to start the day and begin plowing the fields, his eyes regained a blue luster as he let out a confused expression. "Eh?" As if waking up from a dream, his eyes brightened up as a colorful aura of Dao Essence began to suffice his body, going as far as to actually regain his memories just seconds after this life began! RUMBLE! Not months or years like many others, but seconds as the moment he did, the skies above the Miniature Dimension trembled as a certain spot shone, Noah''s eyes turning to this direction as he saw the glimmering collection of 100 Dao Crystals. The first life...was cleared just like that. "..." Noah had a devilish smile on his face as he waved his hands towards the rewards in the sky and obtained them, his figure being teleported out as he found himself above the Dimensions he just cleared. His eyes wandered on the many others as he recalled he had to forge a path towards a final Dimension much further in that held a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper, not wasting any time as he went forward onto another Dimension! WAA! His second life...was a Noble. A being of high rank that could enjoy all the boons of his kingdom as he had wealth, power, and much more. Before the life of debauchery of a Noble could even begin, Noah was able to wake up to his memories once more as he cleared this Dimension with rtive ease. He obtained another 100 Grand Dao Crystals as he proceeded forward at a shocking pace, delving into Dimension after Dimension as he lived a myriad of lives very briefly! Every time, he woke up within seconds or minutes due to his ridiculously strong soul, the effect of devouring an immense number of souls making these trials a piece of cake for Noah. Meanwhile on the second trial¡­ BOOM! "Ah!" "OOOH!" Screams and bellows could be heard throughout as the prideful Disciples of the Celestial ne flight against the Void Beasts with their lives on the line. A Golden Altar only ever allowed a single contestant in it as one had to clear all 10 Void Beasts alone before they could advance forward, giving way to glorious battles at this moment. "Is this the quality of strength in the Celestial ne...a single NEBULA Rank Blessed being capable of standing against 10 Beasts of the same rank¡­" The Blessed from the Empyrean Conves watched the intense battles urring in multiple rings of the Golden Altars as they were awed by the power of these beings from the Celestial ne, looking at their bodies that lit up with numerous Dao Essences with envy! They actually looked at such scenes and thought the strength of these beings to be stupendous, but they would find themselves despairing if they ever saw the scenes of Noah when he was clearing the Beasts within these rings within seconds! Chapter 174 - A Myriad Of Lives Across Dimensions! II Within the second trial of the Legacy Dimensional Rift that has appeared in the Empyrean ne. BOOM! Thest Void Beast fell as the protection around the Golden Altar fell, a white robed man going forward and grabbing the 100 Grand Dao Crystals within as he seemed utterly calm. Defeating the 10 Void Beasts seemingly didn''t even cause him to break any sweat as after he took in his rewards, he saw the voice and words disyed before him that he had passed the second trial and could choose to stay and clear more Altars or proceed forward! "Brother Erin has already finished clearing his ring¡­" "As exemry as always." A few Celestial ne disciples voiced out from afar as they watched the figure of this powerful Young Saint. They all knew their mission as their goals were the Cosmic Dao Crystals in the next trial, so this Young Saint Erin chose to proceed as soon as he finished clearing his Golden Altar and receiving its rewards! WAA! With a sh of light, his figure ascended to the next trial as the powerful Young Saints and Saintesses watching this voiced out. "Hurry up! We can''t fall behind Young Master Erin too much!" OOOH! Shouts and bellows of power reverberated out as Blessed fought in their rings even harder, the first being aside from Noah proceeding onto the third trial at this moment. --- The Young Saint Erin arrived onto a tform that was staring out into the vast numbers of floating eyes that littered a starry space, this beautiful scene being something he had seen once before as this wasn''t the first time he entered this Legacy Dimensional Rift! He had gotten a chance to enter it once in the Celestial ne, and when he showed his prowess within the Neb Rank, he was guaranteed a spot for every future appearance of the Rift that had such requirements. So he simply took in the information that appeared before his eyes to introduce the third trial, his figure floating off as he wanted to get started on the first ind right away. He knew it would take an extremely long time living across a myriad of Dimensions before he could get to an ind that would reward him with Cosmic Dao Crystals, and this was what the Dimensional Hegemonies and Paragons outside of the Rift wanted! With the unique passage of time in the myriad of inds that were separate Dimensions, one could spend days within and find out just a minute or two had passed in the outside world, with those who were less skilled and spent months or years without waking up having hours passing in the outside world. Young Saint Erin wanted to test himself even more as his powerful soul screamed to make sure he woke up within a matter of days in these Dimensions! He was about to enter one of the inds when in the corner of his eyes, he could see a constantly shing light that caught his attention. "Huh?" It was shing every few seconds as it was undeniable, Erin looking towards it as his eyes shook a momentter, his entire body shaking after a few seconds passed as he could hardly believe what he was seeing! Further into the starry space where multiple inds floated, he could see a humanoid figure enter into an ind...and then a sh of light urred as he would be sent out of it a secondter, and he proceeded into the next ind with the scene repeating. ¡­! It meant that this being was barely taking minutes or even seconds to wake up from the different lives of the Dimensions he entered, with barely a second passing in the outside world as he delved into another dimension right after! "What the fuck¡­!" Young Master Erin could help but curse out in horror at such a scene, also realizing that this being was close to the point of hitting a floating ind that would give out Cosmic Dao Crystals. From afar, he also didn''t recognize this figure as he knew it must be a being that stemmed from the Empyrean ne! "This¡­" He couldn''t handle seeing such a scene as this being pulled out a goldenmunication medallion and began speaking into it. "Master...there is a being rapidly clearing to Mirage Dimensions of the third trial¡­" RUMBLE "What?!" A bellow resounded out in the starry space near the Dimensional Rift entrance, a Paragon voicing out in a shocking manner as he quickly passed this message to the Dimensional Hegemony beside him. "An Empyrean Conve disciple is rapidly clearing the Mirage Dimensions of the trial...he''s about to reach the ones that award Cosmic Dao Crystals as he has the chance to reach the Dimension holding a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper!" ¡­! The Great Usurper! The powerful Dimensional Hegemonies knew the identity of this existence very well, and had been chasing his Legacy for the past thousands of years. The sad thing was this existence was actually not even giving them the chance to obtain it, never allowing Dimensional Hegemonies to even enter the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift he designed. But now...it seemed like a contestant with a shocking ability had actually appeared from the Empyrean ne as he held a chance of obtaining the Legacy! "This cannot be allowed to happen!" RUMBLE! The power of the Dimensional Hegemony shed out like shocking tidal waves into the surroundings. He was dressed in a golden robe as he had sharp gold eyes and a goatee, his voice ringing out to everyone in the surroundings as it was targeted towards the Paragon that hadmunicated with Young Saint Erin. "Tell the disciples to stop that being in any manner possible...and get me all the Conve Leaders that sent in their Disciples into the Legacy Rift!" ¡­! As Noah ascended through the trials of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift, others caught wind of him as they sought to do anything possible to not have him obtain the Legacy of the Great Usurper. The question was whether they would in any way be sessful as at this moment, Noah was about to reach the Mirage Dimensional Inds with Cosmic Dao Crystals as rewards! Chapter 175 - A Cosmic Dao! Outside of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift. A group of Conve Leaders and Elders were floating in front of a single being, their expression solemn as they didn''t have any of the domineering air they used to have before. Mind you, these beings looked like ancient wise men as they led multiple stars and Realm Systems, but at this moment...they were rounded up obediently by a Dimensional Hegemony that stemmed from the ne above them! These beings didn''t even get the chance to act as the bosses of their Empyrean ne with the arrival of the powerful existences from the Celestial ne, and now their grandeur was reduced to nothingness as the Dimensional Hegemony spoke powerfully. "Send messages to each of your disciples. Tell them they need to stop advancing through the Legacy Dao Rift and if they don''t...your own lives will be on the line!" RUMBLE! It was a shockingmand from a more powerful being as the faces of the powerful Conve Leaders and Elders became ashen, but they could do nothing but ept it! This...was the plight of the weak. Messages began to be sent to the 500 initially sent disciples from the Empyrean ne as at this moment, the might of those from the Celestial ne fully settled in. But...would the being in question really care about this? WAA! The answer was no as even at this time, Noah continued to sh from one Murage Dimension after another as he had already cleared dozens of them, obtaining a few thousand more Grand Dao Crystals in the Daos of Incandescence, Destruction, Vastness, and the Sword! As he made his way across the many floating inds that littered the starry space, he wondered whether he would obtain enough to truly assimte these Grand Daos fully. Far behind him, Noah had already picked up on the auras of other Blessed reaching this trial, the number having increased from 1 until now there were dozens and even more arriving. From their expressions and bellows they were directing towards him, he knew they must be the disciples from the Celestial ne as they actually wanted him to stop his advancement, but why should he do that? None of them could clear the Mirage Dimensions below him with as much ease as he expected none of them to even keep up with him! It meant that it was a matter of time before he could get his hands on a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper! Thinking of such a thing, Noah delved into the Mirage Dimensions even faster as he experienced a few seconds of a new life before his strong mind woke him up right after, continuing forward until¡­ "Oh?" His eyes shed a glorious Blue as he had inadvertently arrived in front of a floating ind that looked different from the others. It shone with an assortment of colors as it seemed extremely unique, a smile appearing on Noah''s lips as his figure shed into it right away! When his eyes opened again, he was experiencing a grand new life. He stood atop an expansive throne that was connected to three Dimensions, powerful existence bowing towards him on all sides as they looked towards him with reverence! It was a life that nobody would want to leave, a life where a being had aplished everything as they had dominated multiple Dimensions under them. In this life, Noah didn''t take a few seconds to wake up as he looked serenely at the things he had aplished and all the experts bowing towards him, but his eyes fluttered a few minutes in as he voiced out coldly. "I don''t need to be lost in illusions to achieve this. It is but a matter of time!" RUMBLE! A multicolored glow suffused his body when he said this, his surroundings changing and fading away as he came face to face with 10 enormous and incandescent Dao Crystals that let out waves of powerful light. They wererger than any others he hade across as when his mental energy wrapped around them and brought them close to him¡­ [Cosmic Dao Crystal of Tenebrosity] Tenebrosity! It was 10 Cosmic Dao Crystals of Tenebrosity as their sheer weight caused Noah''s hands to vibrate, his eyes shing as he put the rest of them away while holding onto one of them in his hands! SHAA! His figure was teleported out a momentter as he reappeared back on the starry space, a pathway into more Rifts opening up before him. Far behind him, the Disciples of the Celestial ne saw Noah''s figure reappearing as with their eyesight, they could see him grasping something within his hands as a secondter...he actually turned his gaze towards them! They got a chance to closely see the object he was holding in his hands as their mind shook, a few of them muttering out. "That''s...a Cosmic Dao Crystal¡­!" "He''s actually gotten his hands on a Cosmic Dao Crystal!" RUMBLE! Much to the shock and awe of these powerful beings, they only saw Noah smile brilliantly as a bright glow burst from the huge Dao Crystal within his hands, its vibrant dark essence beginning to flood into him fantastically. ¡­! Towards these prideful beings and even the Dimensional Hegemonies behind them who were threatening to kill others on a Legacy they couldn''t even acquire, Noah actually began to absorb a Cosmic Dao Crystal right before their eyes as these powerful Young Saints and Saintesses...could do nothing. "You¡­!" Their eyes red out with anger at such a scene as none of their words worked on this being, and their forces were not making their way even at 100th of the speed that the being far away from them seemed to be capable of doing! They were passing through the Mirage Dimensions too slowly as they couldn''t catch up to this being....but he had already gotten his hands on Cosmic Dao as if he wasn''t stopped, the portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper would fall under hisp! Chapter 176 - A Portion Of A Fantastical Legacy! I The fear of missing out. This was a genuine fear that many beings felt, and none were it more so than the genius Disciples of the Celestial ne! As they looked at a being who was proceeding much further ahead of them and getting closer and closer to a Legacy they had been trying to grasp for many years, this fear fully etched itself in their hearts. Even though they themselves were incapable of getting it, they would have Grand allusions of them obtaining it and how their lives would change after they did...and now they feared missing out on such a possibility entirely as their eyes shed with wrath and anger! "Who is this bumpkin that thinks they can wall around like this?!" RUMBLE! Those not yet delving into the Mirage Dimensions were looking at Noah''s figure from far away as he absorbed Cosmic Dao Crystals, their hearts fuming as they sent messages of what they were seeing back to their Paragons. "He''s most likely just a being with a strong mutated soul, bing capable of going through the Mirage Dimensions and waking up fairly fast...but to openly take a Legacy right under the noses of Dimensional Hegemonies and Paragons? He is too naive!" ¡­! "Yes...even if he seeds, what will happen when he leaves this Rift into the outside space that has existences multiple levels above his own!" They talked amongst each other as they consoled each other in a myriad of ways, their hearts still filled with anger and envy at Noah''s figure from afar. His body was undting with a beautiful ck light as he absorbed the Cosmic Dao Crystals of Tenebrosity while analyzing the power of the Young Saints and Saintesses of the Celestial ne before him. All he noticed was the fact that they heldplete Comprehension in multiple Lesser and Grand Daos, such a thing being made possible as the Celestial ne had ess to many Dao Dimensional Rifts and their powerful Conves could afford to pump the strength of their Neb Rank Disciples with their resources just for this Legacy Rift! ''But even with all that...they are weak!'' ¡­! Yes! Even with the multiple lesser and Grand Daos these beingsprehended, Noah could tell that he could take them down in a matter of seconds if he wished. This was due to the fact that he himself hadprehended fully multiple Grand Daos, and the recent Mirage Dimensions had given him a few thousand more of the Dao Crystals of 4 different Daos as he was more than a quarter of the way there to fully assimte them! And apart from the Grand Daos...he had now gotten his hands on a Cosmic Dao! Something that very few existences in the Empyrean ne held, and something that only powerful Paragons and Dimensional Hegemonies of the Celestial ne enjoyed. Noah had now gotten his hands on such a Cosmic Dap as this one was termed...Tenebrosity! Tenebrosity meant dark or shadowy, and it stood to its meaning as Noah felt like he could control his body and make it turn into particles of shadows that were extremely fast and hard for others to grasp. He would be able to move at ridiculous speeds while also being able to heavily evade the attacks of anyone that didn''t have a Cosmic Dao! While utilizing Tenebrosity to turn his body into a shadowy figure of darkness, he could even disappear into the folds of space with ease as his movements would be on par with beings at the stages of ck Hole or QUASAR. That was how powerful a Cosmic Dao was! It had unique qualities that could make a being of lower ranks be able to rival an aspect of the upper ranks of power! But this...was just his strength in terms of Daos. What made him know he could dominate these disciples before him were still his ridiculous Inherent Skills and his overpowered mind that was enhanced by Devouring billions of Abyssal Fiends. The moment that Noah finished with this Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift, he nned to disappear and go idle while collecting its resources, simply going to farm in the Abyssal ne as he allowed his strength to rise to even crazier levels! Aside from this, he also had his Units- Rift Bosses that boasted stupendous strength as a single one was more powerful than 10 or 20 Blessed at the same level! These beings before him...he didn''t consider them much as the true enemies would be the ones currently pressuring the Empyrean Conves outside the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift. The powerful forces of the Celestial ne had some of their branches in the Empyrean ne due to their deep history, but the separation of nes still caused those in the Celestial ne to treat the ones in the lower ne as if they were lesser! From the three most powerful Empyrean Conves, 2 of them had connections to forces in the Celestial ne. But because of the importance of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift...the powerful Paragons and Dimensional Hegemonies were not paying too much attention to this. It caused Noah to think of all the possibilities on what he could do when it came time to leave the Rift...and how to get off him the eyes of existences multiple Realms above his own! He was currently utilizing the [Authority of the Dominator] to take the ce of Dimensional Ruler Chambeyne, and could just cancel this skill after he came up and had this Rift added into Idle Mode. But it would mean leaving his Subjugated Blessed for the wolves as the Paragons and Dimensional Hegemonies of the Celestial ne would dissect and torture him for the Legacy of the Great Usurper! This Legacy...that seemed to make all of them move with unbridled fervor. ''Then...let''s see what that Legacy is all about.'' His eyes shed with a glorious light as he finished absorbing the Cosmic Dao Crystals, ignoring the looks of the Celestial ne Disciples as he continued onto another floating ind, his path towards the ind where the portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurpery waiting for him continuing! Chapter 177 - A Portion Of A Fantastical Legacy! II A myriad of inds stretching across the starry space. Each one of them represented a Mirage Dimension, and Noah was going through them and living dozens of lives in a matter of seconds and waking up soon after, continuing to forge his path forward! Behind him, an audience continued to watch in shock as their most powerful were trying to do something simr to him, but each time they dove into a Mirage Dimension and came out...they only saw that Noah was much, much further away. Minutes passed. After locating a single Mirage Dimension that granted him 10 Cosmic Dao Crystals of Tenebrosity, Noah only came across another ind like this three more times- each one granting him 10 Dao Crystals as he continued to increase his Comprehension and power within this Cosmic Dao! When he came out of the fourth ind with such rewards, his gaze went forward as something caught his eye. A few inds ahead of him, something unique had appeared as he could see an ind much bigger than the rest, and this one was glowing a myriad of colors and giving off a mysterious vibe that when Noah saw it¡­ "You." He knew it was it. THRUM! His body dived into the next few inds before him within seconds as he proceeded forward, making his way towards therge glimmering Mirage Dimensions as he stood before it after less than a minute, his eyes releasing rays of blue light as without dy...he descended down! --- Outside of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift. "He entered?" A Dimensional Hegemony with a cloudy expression uttered out these words while crackling waves of power dangerously undted across his body! The nearby Paragon from the Celestial ne that was receiving all of this information shuddered as they repeated the information they heard from the Disciples who were closely watching Noah''s figure as he went from one Mirage Dimension to another. They had seen him enter the floating ind that nobody had been able to reach in thest thousand years, the ind that held a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper! The faces of the powerful experts of the Celestial ne were cloudy as no matter their threats and power, they couldn''t do anything against this being while he was within the Legacy Rift! "His Conve?" The Hegemony uttered out a question again as he nced dangerously towards the cluster of Empyrean Conves ced a distance away from the Rift. "We have found his Conve and are gathering them as we speak¡­" A dangerous light crossed the eyes of the Paragon and nearby Dimensional Hegemony as these beings were resorting to ruthless moves to get what they wanted! If this being truly got his hands on the Legacy of the Great Usurper...they had to use whatever they could get their hands on to control him- even if it meant taking hostage his entire family and Conve! --- A new life bloomed. Within this Mirage Dimension, Noah woke up to find himself floating through the void of space. His body was enormous, seemingly capable of even eclipsing the size of gxies! He felt stupendous strength reverberating across his body, this particr life feeling so extremely real that even Noah did wake up from it in a matter of seconds! He could vividly feel the Origin of the body he was in as if it was his own, this Origin not being a Neb or ck Hole or even a Gxy as the Origin of his body...were a myriad of Universes. Universes! Even if Noah was awake, he wouldn''t know the stupendous stage this being had reached as his figure continued to float across the void of space, his eyes reeking of solemnity and sadness. The many feelings Noah felt within this body nearly made him lost in it, but his soul was too obscenely strong as after a few minutes, a guttural bellow came from deep within him as his dimming eyes filled with sadness began to shine a gorgeous blue! OOOOOOH! The bellow reverberated across the stars as Noah''s consciousness woke up, but he still found himself in the body of the colossal being the size of a Gxy as no changes urred. No shining lights to hand him Dao Crystals...nothing. His eyes shone brightly as he raised his hands to check out the body he was in, also sensing its Origin and the profound strength it had as the sheer might of it made him shudder! He didn''t have to wonder who this body belonged to as in the next second, his mouth began to move without his permission as an ancient voice came out. "You are the first qualified existence to havee since I perished." RUMBLE! A deep voice that was filled with somberness and mncholy stretched out, Noah bing extremely careful as the voice continued to emanate from his own mouth! "This Universe was always a weak one, its choices being abysmal in the first ce as the Legacy Rift had to even transfer to a lower dimension to find you." "But I couldn''t leave this Legacy in a dim3nsion that wasn''t my home...Ah, nheless, you are here." WAA! When the words finished, Noah felt the essence of the body he was in rumble as a glimmering light flew from him,ing together to coagte before his eyes as it formed into the shape of a gigantic human being before his eyes! This existence screamed of power and ancientness, his eyes alone seeming like powerful ck holes that could suck in everything. This existence nced towards Noah while nodding, his voice continuing to ring out. "A strong soul that even those a few ranks above you would be embarrassed...you''ll have to do!" ¡­! With a cid expression, the illusory figure that had formed before Noah shone with a red splendor as a red robe washed over it, a grand red crown beginning to spin atop his head as he began to speak in a dignified manner. "I am thest remaining consciousness of the Great Usurper, and you, child...shall be my sessor." RUMBLE! With these words, a beam of light shot forth from the illusory figure and delved deep into Noah''s soul, a flood of information rushing into him as before he could ask any questions....he began to receive answers! Chapter 178 - A Portion Of A Fantastical Legacy! III The Great Usurper. Just who was this existence? He was a mystery to many beings as the Dimensional Hegemonies of the Chaotic Universe residing in the Celestial ne only knew him.as the existence that surpassed all of them. His might was known even further away into other Universes apart from this one, and the secret of his Legacy was closely kept in thest 1000 years that his Legacy Dimensional Rift began to appear in the Celestial ne! Not an ounce of knowledge was shared with other Universes as a Legacy meant that a great being such as the Great Usurper...had actually fallen! As for what had truly ured? This was the knowledge currently installing itself into Noah''s mind. Knowledge of the three Dimensions within the Chaotic Universe, and the surrounding Universes closely that were all clustered together into a Cosmos. Knowledge of powerful experts and things that even Dimensional Hegemonies would find shocking to understand...Noah received all of this information as his soul constantly assimted it and he became more and more shocked, eventually bing somber! "My power lies in Dimensions. Being born in this Universe and Cosmos was destined for me as things are arranged uniquely in Clusters of small Dimensional nes, unlike the Universes of other locations that have ster bodies filling up Gxies perpetuating throughout their Universes." In the midst of the knowledge infusion, the voice of the Great Usurper continued to ring out. "What you are receiving now is a portion of the inheritance that will grant you some necessary skills...and you will have to visit the ce of my death if you want to obtain the rest!" ¡­! With these words, the enormous figure standing before Noah faded as the infusion of memories also came to a stop, Noah looking at everything with extremely somber eyes. When he fully came to, he didn''t know how much time had passed as he was receiving terrifying bundles of information, but a glimmering blue runic circle had appeared far above him signifying the shocking clearing of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift, and a myriad of prompts were appearing before his eyes! [Sessfully cleared the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift of the Great Usurper. Obtained the Absolute Skills , , and .] [You have obtained the title of The Great Usurper.] [The Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift of the Great Usurper has been added to Idle Mode.] A cleared Cosmic Rift added to Idle Mode! The obtainment of multiple skills under their Tier of Absolute Skills! But even the face of all of this...Noah''s eyes were still somber. This was because the memories of the Great Usurper were too shocking, giving Noah Expansive knowledge of this Chaotic Universe that held the Celestial, Empyrean, and Sublunary nes as well as the Universes that this Chaotic Universe shared its boundaries with. It told him of the power structure as well as the history of the Great Usurper...and how even a being such as him had faced death! Terrifying and hidden information that should have never seen the light of day was known by him as it caused him to rapidly change his mindset, his eyes slightly unfocused as he first turned to his Interface to observe the three skills and how they matched to his memories. :: An Ability that allows its user to rip apart the fabric of reality and travel into a different reality near their own. Realities or Dimensions that are too far away require a medium before one can travel through, with those closer only needing enough essence and the aid of . :: Traveling through different Dimensions is a nigh impossible prospect filled with danger. This is an ability that allows the user to have a stabilized area around him as he travels through Dimensions. :: After traversing a myriad of Dimensions, the Great Usurper actualized an Absolute Skill that allowed him to take Origins of others for himself. This ability allows the user to usurp the Realms of defeated beings and make them their own. "..." A ster array of skills. Thest one was one of the reasons for the title of the Great Usurper, this existence actually being capable enough to usurp the Realms of other beings! This was what the Dimensional Hegemonies and Paragons wanted to get their hands on. Buy for Noah...this skill was actually not the most important thing out of the three as what he found the most important was the ability. The ability that allows one to traverse across Dimensions, across different realities! This was one of the greatest tools that the Great Usurper had with him, and one of the tools that eventually caused his death as this being...actually died in a different reality far from the one Noah was on. For Noah to put all the pieces of the puzzle together...he needed to obtain the full inheritance that was located in a far away reality, as well ase face to face with the terrifying enemies that this being had who eventually caused his death! "Hoo¡­" He breathed out slowly as he looked at the vibrating runic magic circle above him, only now the fact that he had sessfully added a Cosmic Dao Rift in Idle Mode registering. He opened the Idle Gaming System Interface to check as he saw the cleartime was 58 minutes, the trials of the Mystic Fog, Golden Altars, and Mirage Dimensions actually being cleared by him at such a fast pace! But now...there was the issue of outside. Outside of the Dimensional Rift, there were powerful Dimensional Hegemonies and Paragons from the Celestial ne waiting for him. Enemies that had been chasing the very Legacy that he obtained for over a thousand years, being that knew of the terrifying might that the Great Usurper wielded as they now wanted to get it in their own hands as well! Against such terrifying enemies multiple levels above him, Noah actually wasn''t fearful as he simply stared at the glimmering blue runic circle before him, his eyes shing the same color as many thoughts crossed his mind! Chapter 179 - Fearless! I The Dimensional Rift that had appeared in the void of space of the Empyrean ne was twisting and turning. It was amon sign of instability, and it was one that caused the faces of multiple Dimensional Hegemonies that had descended from the Celestial ne to change! After the news had spread that the Legacy of the Great Usurper was in the Empyrean ne, more and more of these beings came one after another as at this moment, the number of Dimensional Hegemonies actually toppled 5 as all of them had their own Paragons feeding them information. When they saw the shaking and unstable Dimensional Rift, they knew that it was about to close and disappear as it meant a total of two things! Either the Rift was moving again...or it had been fully cleared. This time around, it was thetter possibility as they were constantly receiving information of when a certain being had entered into the Mirage Dimension that none of them could reach- the Dimension that held a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper and the key to finding the rest of it! Now, this key was held by someone else. Someone else had the knowledge and power of just where a shocking amount of treasure and possibilitiesy as they knew the path towards the full legacy of a being whose name shook not just their Universes, but their very Cosmos! OOOM! The surroundings shook as in the next moment, multiple figures began to be ejected out of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift, the 500 from the Empyrean ne and the remaining disciples from the Celestial ne all being thrown out at the same time. The powerful consciousnesses of the Hegemonies covered these beings the moment they came out, trying to see if the existence who had obtained the Legacy of the Great Usurper was among them but...they didn''t find him! This was because as the one who cleared the Rift, Noah had the choice of when to step on the shing runic circle to leave, and he was taking some time as he nned a few things! One of the first was for him to release the [Authority of the Dominator] as the body he was in returned to being that of the Subjugated Blessed, Chambeyne. He then had [Spatial Puppet Master] ready to go at any time as he floated forward...and entered the runic magic circle that would lead him outside. THRUM! Another light shed out from the Dimensional Rift as with this...the unstable Rift stopped shaking in ce as it released a final burst of light and disappearedpletely in the next second! The eyes of all the powerful beings nearby locked onto thest appearing figure as the powerful auras of 5 Dimensional Hegemonies rained down on him. Eyes shining gold and a unique air around him, the Subjugated Blessed nced around him fearlessly as the voice of a Hegemony thundered out. "Chambeyne of the Clear Sky Peaks Conve...you refused to listen when told to stop and have now obtained a portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper, causing for theplete disappearance of the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift!" WAA! The voice was extremely domineering as it seemed nobody could go against it, the pressure of this being cascading down in waves as it made the figure of the Subjugated Blessed shake. This was because he was at the Neb Rank while this being and 4 others before him were multiple ranks higher! It was akin to 5 giants standing before him with gazes of anger, behind them being multiple other existences that only watched on coldly. All of this...a single being had to face it. Through the eyes of the Subjugated Blessed, Noah could see the people of the Clear Sky Peaks Conve bound below the power of the Dimensional Hegemonies, the Grand Elder that was his Father and even the Leader of the Conve shaking their heads in shame and unwillingness. Yes! Unwillingness! They had sent in their Disciples to fight for the Dimensional Rift fair and square, but now they were being bullied by those with higher power who weren''t capable of doing what their disciples had done just now! But under the power of the Dimensional Hegemonies, they couldn''t even express their anger. Noah looked around even further as he noticed the other Conves of the Empyrean ne only watching from afar, their gazes cloudy as even here powerful beings that lorded over the Empyrean ne didn''t make a move to do anything. Not too far from Noah, there was also the figure of Catherine that was looking towards the figure of Chambeyne in shock...as she knew he was one of the Dimensional Rulers that was being controlled by Noah from the Sublunary ne! She hid her shock and surprise as a myriad of thoughts crossed her mind, never expecting this guy to cause such amotion even in the Empyrean ne. But she and many others didn''t have to wait long before the clear voice of the being that was facing the powerful auras of too many experts rang out. "A Dimensional Rift appeared in the Empyrean ne as we entered it for the purposes of clearing it...how could I have erred by doing this?" ¡­! Calm and fearless words towards the thrumming might of 5 Dimensional Hegemonies! "Insolence! This Rift was not yours to clear...having been something that was appearing in the Celestial ne for the part thousands of years. Noah, you have taken it away entirely and forever." The gazes of the Dimensional Hegemonies were chilling as towards this, Noah''s consciousness gazed towards them calmly. He only appeared here fearlessly as his life wasn''t being threatened in any way, the demeanor of these powerful Hegemonies being extremely distasteful in his eyes at this moment! Especially after he obtained the myriad of bundles of information from the portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper that taught him of many things about the 3 nes of the Chaotic Universe as well as the other Universes around it. He knew of the many powerful Lesser, Grand, and even Cosmic Dao Rifts that these beings had ess to in the Celestial nes, and he knew of the powerful experts and the ranks of power that could be found throughout! His mindset had been changed as even though they were separated by many ranks of power, he didn''t fear these beings. He knew of the shocking means he had avable to him, as well as the absolute abilities that he had just obtained. So he nced towards the 5 overpowering auras as he spoke out! "It is not my fault that you were too weak to even clear such a simple Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift¡­it needing to even go to a lower ne before someone capable could clear it." RUMBLE! "I never would have thought the Celestial ne would be littered with such trash, for you to even bully others with your power like this!" ¡­! Clear and resounding words that were like a strike of thunder came down! Chapter 180 - Fearless! II The authority of Dimensional Hegemonies was invible. This was the reality in the Celestial ne, and it was an even more entrenched reality in the Empyrean ne where the most powerful of beings were Sages or Great Sages. The Realms of Power went from Neb to ck Hole, QUASAR, Gxy, Gctic Fment, and ultimately...the Universal Realm! The most powerful in the Empyrean ne were titles Sages or Great Sages based on their aplishments in Lesser and Grand Daos, these beings mostly being in the GALAXY Realm, and the most powerful Great Sages being those that had just broken into the Gctic Fment Realm. Above them were the even more aplished beings in the Celestial ne that had the titles of Monarchs, Paragons, and Dimensional Hegemonies as they took the top spots of power. Such were the types of beings that Noah faced at this moment! Never in their wildest dreams would anyone have expected for a Neb Ranked existence like him to utter such disrespectful words to Dimensional Hegemonies who had Paragons following behind them, the air in the surroundings bing utter cold as a pervasive silence spread throughout. Catherine was looking at such a scene in utter stupor and shock, her behavior masked as everyone else had the same expressions when observing the current scene before them! The faces of the 5 Dimensional Hegemonies turned utterly cold after Noah''s words as a moment after, their surroundings began to tremble and shake as terrifying auras erupted out. Pristine essence that was unlike nothing from Lesser or Grand Daos came out, multiple gorgeous colors erupting out as dangerous particles of Cosmic Dao Essences wildly began to spread out! The foremost Dimensional Hegemony had his voice ring out again after Noah''s insult as he made a grasping motion towards his body. "Never did I think the one capable of clearing the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift was an existence that sought death so quickly." WAA! "Do you think that you having the Legacy means we cannot touch you? That we cannot kill you? What a naive little thing you are!" ¡­! With a grasp of this Dimensional Hegemony''s hands, the figure of the the Subjugated Blessed Chambeyne was pulled forward uncontrobly as he came face to face with the majestic powerhouses before him. A white robed existence with sharp eyes and nose, a golden light shining in his eyes every now and then as a lift of majesty suffused from his body. This was an existence that had stepped into the Universal Realm, an existence that had a genuine Universe within their Origin as their power was something horrific! Against Noah''s Neb Rank, it was aughable distance in power. Yet the eyes of Chambeyne that was speaking under Noah''s control were utterly calm as his eyes nced at the Hegemony before him and the ones in the surroundings before he spoke. "Is this how the structure of the Celestial ne works? That you all can use your power to tantly bully a being for obtaining a Legacy that you could obtain after so many years?" ¡­! His question only caused the surroundings to be more oppressive as the Hegemony that had outlet him here had turned entirely emotionless, replying in a cold tone as he didn''t even put Noah in his eyes. "Only when you have the same level of power can you talk on an equal level. I will be sure to teach you this lesson when I rip apart your Origin and soul to dig out the information of the Legacy!" A terrifying gleam passed through the eyes of this being as he said this, Noah''s eyes shing in the Sublunary ne as he decided something in his heart. He was just looking for a reason to go out in the near future to add Dao Dimensional Rifts into Idle Mode, and nned to visit the Empyrean and Celestial Dimensional nes when he attained enough power to move freely in the future. He just didn''t think the most powerful existences of these nes would also give him reason to subjugate them and make them all his underlings after obtaining a Legacy! His mindset was gradually undergoing a change after learning of the vastness of the Universe and the many other Universes around him, not looking at things the same way he used to as he was gradually adapting to the memories of the Great Usurper. "Very well." His eyes shed with a gorgeous cerulean blue as he made his decision, the figure of the Subjugated Blessed Chambeyne continuing to speak in the void of space of the Empyrean ne. "It was gracious of you to teach me this lesson on power...I''ll be sure to remember it when I see you again!" ¡­! His words were filled with power and resolve, a chilling smile appearing on the eyes of the Dimensional Hegemony as he looked at the figure before him that seemed entirely powerless. "Do you really think you can get out of here for you to even say those words? This space has long since been locked down by our authority as not even a mouse can sneak in or out. I willmend you for one thing- your impudence!" OOM! Space shook and constricted as Chambeyne''s body was brought closer to the Hegemony, but he seemed fearless as he replied back calmly, a shining light beginning to envelop him. "You so readily forget that I have just obtained the legacy of the Great Usurper. Do you know your history? What was that existence most famous for?" ¡­! The expression of the Dimensional Hegemony grasping Noah and the other 4 had their faces change rapidly at these words, their bodies beginning to revolve with essence as each of their powerful auras coagted around the single figure of the Subjugated Blessed. They couldn''t kill him until they got the legacy out of him, but they could at least hold down an existence multiple realms below them, right?! The answer was a resounding no. One of the newly gained skills that Noah was just granted was already in effect at this moment. RUMBLE! A glorious crimson and purple light suffused outwards as nearly blinded even those watching, the Hegemonies and Paragons and all other experts alike looking towards the position where a certain Subjugated Blessed was just at in shock as the space...was empty! Under the watch of multiple Dimensional Hegemonies, he had actually disappeared! Chapter 181 - Inheriting The Title Of The Great Usurper! I A Neb Rank existence disappeared in the blink of an eye while under the watch of 5 Dimensional Hegemonies! Such a reality was something that threw all the beings in the surrounding void into a stupor, but none more so than a few specific beings. One was of course, Catherine, who had an inkling of the identity of the Subjugated Blessed. This Young Saintess stared in shock at the procession of events and how Noah''s subjugated Blessed had disappeared under the eyes of beings with even more power than the Leader or Elders of her Tenebrous Conve! Then there were the Disciples, Elders, and Leader of the Clear Sky Peaks Conve where the Subjugated Blessed Chambeyne came from. These beings looked at what just happened with utter shock as they asked themselves- was this truly the disciple from their Conve? Someone capable of taking such grand actions and pushing back against Hegemonies?! It was a surreal scene as the faces of the 5 Dimensional Hegemonies were the ones that looked like they had eaten up and chewed something disgusting. They had made sure that space was locked down as nobody could teleport in or out, but never would they expect the Neb Ran being before them to be so capable to utilize the skills of the Great Usurper- something they only thought they would achieve when they obtained the full legacy! But now under the gazes of a few thousand experts...they had their authority torn apart by a single weaker being. "Impudence!" WAA! One of the Hegemonies bellowed out powerfully as the void of space shook. "You...that vile creature stemmed from your Conve. I want to know everything about him until we find his whereabouts. If you all are uncooperative...I don''t mind wiping out your conve from existence." ....! The Dimensional Hegemony turned towards the area where the Leader and Elders of the Clear Sky Peaks were located, his aura locking unto them as the Grand Elder who was the father of Chambeyne had an extremely ugly expression. They did not want to acquiesce, but against unstoppable power, what could they do? Against the strongest experts of their Universe, what could a mere Conve in the Empyrean ne do?! --- As the shocking event and their results would continue to reverberate across the Empyrean and even the Celestial ne for the hours and days toe, the figure of Chambeyne appeared silently before Noah in the Sublunary ne. In the Sanctuary that stood right below the Golden Stairway of Ascension, atop the exquisitely made throne that was enacted after Noah had risen to power. The cerulean eyes of the Dominator nced at his Subjugated Blessed that he didn''t throw to the wolves, this being kneeling before him with even more reverence as he spoke out. "Thank you, Master." The Subjugated Blessed under him still had their souls and consciousness, simply bing beings that had undying loyalty to Noah after he dominated their minds. But they still had their own thoughts and feelings as towards the appreciation Chambeyne showed, Noah only nodded towards him with a smile as he gave somemands, this being flying out from the Sanctuary. He wasn''t a used piece that had lost its meaning, as Noah would still utilize Chambeyne for the future toe if he ever needed to scheme against the experts of the Empyrean and Celestial ne. "But for now...I need to put everything together!" Yes! Noah needed to consolidate his recent gains as he nned on how to move, as he had dipped his hands into a trulyrge pie! The Legacy of the Great Usurper was something terrifying that even Dimensional Hegemonies sought, and Noah had to now inherit this name fully and live up to it, eventually being able to traverse into the distant Dimension that wasn''t anywhere close to the Chaotic Universe or even the Universes surrounding it where this being died. The abilities of Dimensional Travel and Stabilizer, and most of all the ability of the Greed of the Usurper...Noah would fully use these abilities to his advantage as he grew his power at a rate that nobody in the Empyrean and Celestial nes could match! As for the powerful Hegemonies that had tried to shackle him today? The ones who freely used their power to look at him with the look he hated the most- the look as if he was a mere ant they could crush in their palm! He released a terrifying smile as he swore to show these beings what an existence with a system like his and now a holder of a stupendous legacy could do to them. With a Cosmic Rift added to Idle Mode, Noah was freely waiting to see what Dao Crystals would be freely flowing into his pockets every single hour for the foreseeable future as he fully yed with the other features of the Idle Gaming System while preparing for his ascension into the Empyrean and Celestial ne. Most of all, he was nning on using two particr abilities that when he looked at them from the eyes of a transmigrator...he found them to be the most terrifying tools a character could be given as he nned to heavily rely on them! He was, of course, talking about the abilities [Soul Devour] and [The Greed of the Usurper]. One allowed him to endlessly devour the souls of the beings he defeated while another actually allowed him to steal their Realms! This was one of the key features that allowed for the title of the Great Usurper! He more often than not deprived others of all of their power as he would only leave behind empty husks, taking everything for himself as his rise to strength was extremely domineering. Noah nned to utilize the abilities to the fullest as he ascended through the ranks in a short period of time, and he was confident in being able to do as he had ess to such things as the Infinite Crucible, Tower of Champion....and the Abyssal ne that still had Quintillions of beings he had to defeat! Chapter 182 - Inheriting The Title Of The Great Usurper! II A brand new dawn rose across the three Dimensional nes of the Chaotic Universe as the oue of a single Legacy Rift reverberated throughout! The Sublunary ne was entirely silent and calm as always though, the movements urring within this ne that was under the management of a single existence being unruffled by any shocking events. The one standing above this ne was currently finishing up his ns, knowing exactly what steps he had to take for the foreseeable future. All that Noah had to do was find progressively stronger enemies as he utilized his abilities and devoured their Realms and Souls...and he didn''t see too much of a problem crossing through the ranks in a matter of just days if he did something like this! So the n for now was to delve into the features of the Idle Gaming System and farm the creatures he gains ess to when he is sent to separate Dimensions, all the meanwhile waiting for a stupendous amount of loot toe in from a Cosmic Rift in Idle Mode. For such a thing, he was choosing between the Infinite Crucible and Abyssal ne Expedition as when he thought of endless droves of beasts rushing to him...his eyes shed with light as he chose the Infinite Crucible this time around! Unlike the Abyssal ne where he could meet any expert of any rank, there was a level of safety in the constant waves of the Infinite Crucible. WAA! His essence leaked out powerfully as he made up his mind, focusing his attention on the connection with his subjugated Blessed as he sent a message towards one in the Ethereal Realm that was near his little sister. "Annalise...I''ll be gone for a few days. Don''t miss me too much!" "Hmph!" One could see the frosty expression on the red haired girl that had been talking with Rose before a Blessed came in to speak with Noah''s voice, her expression that of pouting as she nodded. With this message delivered and everything else being taken care of by his Subjugated Blessed, Noah''s figure disappeared from the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne as he appeared in the Waiting Room where he could see the entrance to the Tower of Champions, Shattered nes Rifts, Dimensional Store, and the Infinite Crucible. Now that he had obtained the legacy of the Usurper, he was very in tune with the knowledge of Dimensions as he wondered once more what made his system possible...and what type of dimensions he was being sent to every time he used these features! But this was a question he couldn''t answer or tackle, so he left it alone as he focused on his task, his body fading away into the portal of the Infinite Crucible as he chose the specifications of Aetherbourne Beasts to further enhance their power as well as elevate the difficulty from Normal to Fiendish. On Fiendish Difficulty, the Drop Rate of all Loot was increased by 200% as the chance for Rare Loot to drop in increased by 100%, with the Dimensional Beasts all having their strength enhanced by 200%! Noah entered the Infinite Crucible with such specifications as the Aetherbourne Beasts began toe down in droves. This time around, he wanted to face as many waves as possible as he wanted to reach the ones that would provide Dao Crystals as loot, the level of strength hemanded being something that made him extremely confident at this moment! He stood at the very center as pulsing purple portals were located a few miles away continued to release terrifying beasts constantly, but Noah remained at his position as his eyes merely shed with light while he cast [Ruler''s Emenation] to clear the waves in a matter of seconds. He continued like this up until the 70 Wave, summoning his Units thereafter as hundreds of thousands of Aetherbourne Beasts began to tumble out from the many portals surrounding him in the arena-like dimension floating in space! Noah''s mind paid no heed to the mysteries of where these beasts came from or how any of this was possible, and he was just intent on seeing whether he could bring his shocking n to fruition in the next few hours. With the abilities of [The Greed of the Usurper] that allowed him to usurp the Realms of others and [Soul Devour] that further elevated the strength of his mind, what stopped him from facing constant waves of enemies at the Neb Rank as he took their strength for himself...and then used the capabilities of his Units and his powerful soul to Usurp the strength of Beasts at the rank of ck Hole...and then just continued this process endlessly as he shot up in power?! He would have to take the rewards of the Infinite Crucible after he cleared enough waves of course so he could use them to upgrade the power of his Units in between, but Noah didn''t see a problem of him surpassing multiple ranks in the next few days if he yed things properly! BOOM! So a hellish scene continued in an isted dimension that constantly sent in droves of Beasts. Noah and his Units ran rampant as on the 90th Wave, he faced Neb Rank Aetherbourne Rift Bosses for the first time as Noah locked onto them with sharp eyes. Secondster after they were thrashed by him and his Units, these beasts were on their deathbed as with their deaths, the next Wave of the Infinite Crucible would begin. But Noah didn''t entirely kill them as he approached their dying bodies, his cold voice echoing out coldly. [The Greed of the Usurper]. THRUM! A crimson light suffused from his body as it dawned on the creature before him that began to tremble in immense pain. Its chest pulsed madly and with horror as momentster, its weakened strength wasn''t able to stop something shocking as an illusory Origin actually erupted from it in a shower of blood, this Origin flowing into Noah''s chest and sinking in seamlessly as a secondter...his body released an even more powerful aura as his Origin faced some changes! After the Star Rank, one entered the rank of a Neb as they would be forging many stars within their Neb. When a Neb achieved a sufficient amount of stars, they could take the drastic action to copse all of them instantly to form a ck Hole. Noah was currently increasing the number of stars within his Neb as after usurping the Realm of the beast before him, hundreds of Stars were forged instantly as his blue eyes shone gloriously! If he swallowed the Realms of a dozen more of Beasts such as this, he saw himself reaching the peak of Neb Rank without even relying on an obscene amount of cores as the skills of the Great Usurper were truly overpowered. Usurp the Realms of others and achieve high levels of power in a ridiculously short period of time! With such a thought crossing through his mind, Noah''s sharp eyes turned towards the other Aetherbourne Rift Bosses breathing weakly near him as he continued, a crimson light shing out every so often as his power only became more oppressive as the seconds passed. A ridiculous training session had begun as at the end of it, who knew what rank Noah would arrive at? Chapter 183 - Usurp A Black Hole! I It wasn''t until the 100th Wave of the Infinite Crucible that Noah actually faced Beasts thatprehended the Dao. Shining with wondrous light, titanic beasts born from Aether and releasing powerful essence of the Dao came out as it indicated to Noah if he defeated them, he would be getting a treasure trove with Dao Crystals and a myriad of Neb Rank Upgrade Crystals that he could use to very soon increase the strength of his Units from Neb to ck Hole! And this...was exactly what urred as after reaching this highest wave for the first time and clearing it, Noah called for the end of the waves to see what the rewards would be. [100 Waves of [Aetherbourne] Beasts Cleared in Fiendish Mode. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 1 NEBULA? Rank Aether Treasure Trove.] ¡­! The highest Tier Treasure Trove of the Neb Rank! A brilliant sh of light shone out as Noah opened the Treasure Trove right away. [Tier 1 NEBULA Rank Aether Treasure Trove] ::[+100 Lesser Dao Crystals of Withering] [+10,000 Aether Universal Law Crystals], [+10,000 NEBULA Cores], [+3,000,000 Neb Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 NEBULA Rank Unit Shards], [+55 Random NEBULA Equipment],? [+50,000,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals]... 100 Waves of the Infinite Crucible gave a fantastical amount of loot as Noah made some quick calctions. He saw the appearance of Dao Crystals of a Lesser Dao for the first time as rewards, along with arge amount of Neb Cores and Neb Rank Upgrade Crystals for his Units! The Lesser Dao of Withering on top of the Crystals he was looking for badly! He knew that if hepleted a cycle of these 100 Waves a few more times, he would gain enough Upgrade Crystals to upgrade and fuse 2 Units into the next rank, and then he could fearlessly charge through the infinite waves of beasts until he reached Rift Bosses at the rank of ck Hole. With the help of his Units, he could then defeat and devour these Rift bosses as he stepped into the next rank...and he could just repeat this same method after that! With his mind made up, his body was returned to the waiting room as he delved into the Infinite Crucible a secondter, repeating 100 Waves after less than half an hour as he obtained another Tier 1 Neb Rank Treasure Trove. Like this...a few hours passed. In a state of constant farming, Noah lost himself as he only saw the notices of the Treasure Troves and his Realm being elevated to the Peak of Neb, capable of breaking through into the ck Hole Rank at any moment. Another 100 Waves clearedter, and Noah came to a stop as he obtained the 28 Million Neb Rank Upgrade Crystals to upgrade and fuse two Neb Rank Beasts into the Rank of ck Hole. His choice, as always, was the Aether Based Dragons that shone with the most power. THRUM! A coalescence of essenceter, two Neb Rank Rift Bosses were fused as in the waiting room, a colossal sized purple Dragon was born before Noah''s eyes. It held 3 pairs of pristine glimmering wings as its draconic head held a purple crown rotating above it majestically. Its chest held the manifestation of a glimmering ck hole as from it, Noah could sense a cluster of Dao essences swirling around it! [Dragon of Destruction, Raz''Kul] This wondrous name floated atop it as it roared subserviently towards Noah, the inheritor of the Great Usurper smiling towards this beast as he saw it as his ticket to the rank of BLACK HOLE! "Let''s continue, shall we?" After a brief respite, Noah sighed while massaging his shoulders, delving back into the Infinite Crucible as this time around, he went past the 100th Wave. He was now searching for enemies a Rank above him, so he fearlessly tore through the waves while Devouring the souls of the Beasts he came across and Usurping the Realms of the most powerful ones! When the 115th Wave was reached, the scene around the expansive arena floating in space was hellish as millions of Beasts poured out, and this time they were led by an enormous Aether Terror- a titanous creature that looked like an abomination of a mixture from a myriad of Beasts. The Aether Terror...was at the rank of ck Hole! Noah stood surrounded by his Units amidst all of this as his eyes shone brightly, his strongest unit, the Dragon of Destruction, roaring out madly as its purple body turned into a streak of light to smash into the Aether Terror. ROOOAR! Storms of Aether and Destruction raged around as Noah''s Unit in the Rank of ck Hole had inborn proficiency in the Grand Dao of Destruction, every swipe of its ws causing changes in the skies as thundering Aether rained down endlessly, being even purer than the Aether surrounding the Aether Terror! The grand majesty of a Dragon was disyed fully as the purple crown above it continued to release pulsing rays of light, the essence of destruction raining from them and pressuring the Aether Terror down as secondster, Noah''s Ancient Eye of Terror released its blinding light to weaken this beast even further. As if that wasn''t enough, rays of sma thundered down as Noah utilized [sma Generation], his reserves of mana being utterly vast after he obtained the Grand Dao of Vastness on top of being capable of tapping into the reserves of all of the Subjugated Blessed that he was connected to! With such firepower raining down, it didn''t take too long before the figure of the Aether Terror could barely move, its abominable muscles spasming as Aether and Destruction ravaged its body. It was at this time that Noah flew above this Rift Boss with his eyes releasing terrifying rays of blue light, his eyes tinged with excitement as he called out slowly. "The Greed of the Usurper!" RUMBLE! A crimson light overflowed. From Noah, it cascaded down in waves as his eyes also released the pressure of Ruler''s Emenation, these waves of the unique power of the Great Usurper wrapping around the Origin of a ck Hole existence as Noah would take such a Realm for himself! Chapter 184 - Usurp A Black Hole! II Forcefully taking another''s Realm as their own. Noah felt this feeling in the truest sense as found himself elevated from one Rank to another without the use of Cores, his eyes sharp as he watched his Origin pulsate powerfully! The myriad of stars within his current Neb had already multiplied to their maximum amount, each of them releasing waves of light as when Noah''s skill pulled the Origin of the Aether Terror into him...all of these glimmering stars actually copsed. The stars copsed entirely as they formed an environment of immense density and mass, an environment that seemed even capable of Devouring everything around it if one wasn''t capable enough. THRUM! The copse of the stars within his Neb paved the way as at the very center of his Origin, Noah observed the formation of a gloriously pulsating ck hole! WAA! The instant it was formed, his body released a terrifying gravitational light that shook his surroundings, everything stabilizing around him a secondter as only powerful waves undted over his body. ck Hole. A brand new realm that would have taken others years, he achieved in a few hours after a terrifying farming session! He raised his arms as he felt the overflowing sense of power coursing through them, his emotions turbulent as even he could hardly believe where he was standing at right now. He- a mere human that was only moving through the motions of school and work was currently somehow standing on a fantastical arena floating in space while the rank of his body was elevated to a level where he had a ck hole at the center of his Origin! Who could have said to him that authority a thing would be possible? Who could have predicted that he would be where he was today? "Haa¡­" He sighed with emotion as a light smile appeared on his face, ncing towards his powerful Units that stood around him as well as the pulsating purple portals stretched out at the ends of the arena that would release more waves of Beasts soon. Feeling the crackling strength of his body as well as his thoughts being affirmed, Noah wanted to continue! If he could elevate his strength to ck hole in a few hours, then he could bring it to QUASAR in a few hours as well! Who knew...maybe when he left the Infinite Crucible this time around, his Realm would actually have already surpassed QUASAR and achieved a GALAXY. "Let theme." THRUM! He gave themand as the next wave of Beasts were released, the portals shining brilliantly as Noah''s mental strength ebbed out in waves. After advancement to ck Hole, his three Inherent Skills had already been enhanced as he obtained another powerful set of skills, his cerulean blue eyes going over them currently as he faced the waves of oing Beasts. It was these waves that would have more and more at the realm of ck Hole as he usurped their Realms and brought his own to the peak, and he would repeat clearing them up to the 120th or 140th wave right before he encountered Rift Bosses at the QUASAR Rank so he could obtain ck Hole Rank Treasure Troves that contained Upgrade Crystals of this Rank for his Units! He would then just repeat the cycle of advancing further ahead after he obtained enough upgrade Crystals to Fuze units into the QUASAR Realm...and the ridiculous farming session would continue. By the end of it all...he saw a glorious futureying out before him. --- The river of time continued to ebb and flow, a few days passing by just like this. The Sublunary ne was as calm as ever, but this wasn''t so for the Empyrean and Celestial nes as a search was currently underway for the culprit that stole the Legacy of the Great Usurper and also insulted the honor of Dimensional Hegemonies! The name of Young Saint Chambeyne of the Clear Sky Peaks Conve rang out strongly as he was cklisted, rewards being handed out for anyone capable of finding out his location, and even more for those that could apprehend him. In the history of the Chaotic Universe, never had the action of a being of lower power going against the authority of a Dimensional Hegemony go unounted for. Denying the authority of one Hegemony was equivalent to denying the authority of all the Hegemonies within the Chaotic Universe, the offender not being able to survive the results of this action! When a few days passed with no news, the order came from above in a shocking fashion as it showed off the wrath of the Hegemonies- especially the 5 that were present in the Empyrean ne when the Legacy of the Great Usurper was taken from under their noses. "Scour the whole Universe...all three nes! I want to see if this thing can keep staying hidden!" RUMBLE! An order came down, and it was followed topletion as forces began to spread towards all three nes...including the previously calm Sublunary ne. --- Within the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne. Three figures could be seen sitting in the very center of this ce that was the seat of authority for the entire ne, the two girls talking with each other happily as the dark haired man sitting with them released a vibrant smile that wasn''t nearly as enticing as his resplendent blue eyes! After the passage of a few days, Noah''s demeanor seemed even more vibrant than usual as while he enjoyed a feast with Annalise and Rose, his body was releasing waves of powerful might as when one looked at his chest...they would be able to see the glimmering manifestation of a Gxy. A Gxy! After a few days of constant farming and the usage of the [Soul Devour] and [The Greed of the Usurper] abilities, Noah had actually gone ahead to elevate his realm from the level of a Neb to a ck Hole, and then formed a QUASAR from this ck hole as currently...he had forged a genuine Gxy within his Origin. This was the result of the full usage of the Idle Gaming System with such terrifying efficiency as the results were simply unbelievable to see! Chapter 185 - Moths Rushing Towards Blazing Flames! I In the past few days, Noah had been delving into the Infinite Crucible repeatedly and with intense fervor as the results were enough to stand for themselves! The more waves he cleared, the tougher beasts he faced. Surpassing the 150th and 170th Waves introduced him to more and more Rift Bosses at the Realm of ck Hole, with the 180th Wave giving him a Rift Boss at the level of Quasar. It wasn''t until the 200th wave that a single powerful Rift Boss at the Gxy Realm appeared! Of course, this didn''t mean that Noah was just proceeding forward nonstop- he had to repeat cycles of waves 1 through 170 multiple times until he had one or two beasts fused into the next rank of Quasar, and he then repeated waves up until 180 to obtain enough Quasar Rank Upgrade Crystals to fuse his units into the Realm of the Gxy. It was only then that he was capable of taking down the Gxy Rank Rift Boss on the 200th Wave and Usurp its realm, giving him the current glimmering manifested Gxy situated powerfully within his Origin. Throughout all of these waves, he was getting Tier 1 Treasure Troves of their respective Ranks all the way from ck Hole to Gxy, the number of Cores, Upgrade Crystals, Equipment, Dao Crystals of multiple Lesser Daos and even Dao Crystals of the Grand Dao of Destruction...the number of loot he held on hand was purely ridiculous as he had more than enough to hand to Annalise and his Subordinates to begin elevating their Realms as well. But, even his strong mind was exhausted after locking himself in this constant state of farming for days, but the results were stupendous as he held a few Units in the Gxy Realm, and his own power had received an obscenelyrge boost as from Neb to Gxy, he had unlocked 3 abilities from each of his three Inherent Skills! These paired up with his ceaselessly strengthened mind and soul caused him to not fear any beings of the same rank, and he even wanted to test himself against those of the upper rank as he wanted to match beings above the Gxy Realm with all of his cards just to see what the oue would be. So when the time came that the enemies searching for him across Dimensions came knocking...Noah was prepared for them! --- Rose was looking at Noah''s figure between her conversation with Annalise, many thoughts crossing through her mind as she could barely recognize the being before her even though it had only been weeks since they first met! It had only been weeks since he and Annalise saved her from an assassination, only weeks since she presided over the Ethereal Realm under Noah''s go-ahead. Now...this being was overseeing an entire ne as inparison to her, everything about him just seemed too big! Rose had a light smile on her face as she took another bite of the food before her and replied to Annalise, her eyes still observing Noah as they now focused on the glimmering Gxy within his chest. This was the most unbelievable thing. The fact that he had broken through and continued to break through a ridiculous number of Realms in just a matter of days! From what he told them, after the rank of ck Hole where one condensed this Infinite object of mass and density within their Origin, they had to elevate this to a Quasar- something that also held another name of being a gctic nucleus. Across the void of space, one woulde across a myriad of ck holes and quasars as normally, Quasars were what erupted to eventually form a Gxy. In a short period of time, this was what Noah had done. ''Sigh¡­'' Rose sighed in a depreciating tone as she felt this being was going further and further away from them, only being able to even be this close when they enjoyed feasts like this together, and even that was rare! Her strong willed eyesnded back on Annalise as she wondered, how was his little sister taking all this? But she didn''t have the time to even ask about this thought as her gaze and the gazes of Noah and Annalise changed soon after, all of them ncing up above them towards the direction of the Golden Stairway of Ascension every they felt a sudden mass of many existences appear! ---- "Hmm?" Noah''s eyes squinted as his consciousness roiled out in waves, his feast with his little sister and Rose interrupted by the appearance of multiple powerful figures descending into the Sublunary ne. Their gazes were frosty as they were led by a being Noah would have considered powerful just days ago, but he looked towards them now as if they were mere children! With his mind focusing on them, he could hear the existence at the very forefront that had a glimmering manifested Gxy swirling on his chest speak. "Get in contact with the local conves here and set up searches all over this ne. Start with the Conve he stayed in when he was undergoing his trial on this ne!" ....! Multiplemands wereid out by this being that actually seemed like an Elder or Leader of a Conve from the Empyrean ne, the forces he brought nodding as they began to spread out, the few hundreds of them ranging from Neb all the way to the Gxy Realm! The leader of these forces then turned his head towards the Sanctuary as he could sense some auras there, his figure descending down with a few dozen beings. Noah looked at this scene ying out a smile as his eyes shed brightly, not expecting presents to deliver themselves to his feet so soon. As he even had his Subjugated Blessed spread out, he knew all too well what was urring within the Empyrean ne and the fact that his name had been cklisted, even Catherine trying to get in contact with him amidst the chaos with worry. But as the one cklisted with powerful beings searching for him, Noah was free of any worries as he stood up while patting his simple ck robe, speaking out calmly as his gaze pierced through the Sanctuary to stare at the arriving figures. "Let''s go wee some guests, shall we?" RUMBLE! Chapter 186 - Moths Rushing Towards Blazing Flames! II Power. Never in her wildest dreams did Annalise think she would hold it, and hold such a significant portion of it as well! She began as a Blessed trying to seed the work of her parents and be able to take care of her family, striving just to be able to clear bronze and silver Rank Rifts as she made afortable living. That was what she thought the direction of her life would be. But¡­ She was now rising up as she stood within the ce where all power was contained in the whole ne, not to mention the small Ethereal Realm she came in or the myriad of other Realms or worlds within it. It was an unbelievable prospect as the one who made it all possible was her older brother that was always cking off! He now held a slight smile as his hands were behind his back, his gaze serene as existences that would have been powerful enemies didn''t even cause him to blink. ''How everything can change¡­'' Annalise had such a thought as she smiled lightly, keeping her eyes on Noah as he nced towards Gxy manifested beautifully, his gaze cold as dozens of other existences followed close to him. His sharp eyes noticed the auras within the Sanctuary as he walked in with authority,ing to lock his gaze on Noah and the two girls beside him! "Hmmm?!" His eyes quintet dangerously as he saw the manifested Gxy on Noah''s chest, the Realms of the two girls near him being much lower as this expert voiced out powerfully. "Who are you? Your Conve designation?!" THRUM! With a light of authority, the Gxy Rank Elder from the Empyrean ne voiced out as the dozens of experts behind him pooled into this section of the Sanctuary. Towards such a question, Noah only smiled curiously as one could see a glimmering golden light of fate dancing within his eyes, and this was him affirming his thoughts on how even enemies of the same rank...would be nothing to him as he didn''t even feel a sense of threat from these beings before him! As the two girls beside him felt his confidence, they had even less worries as they looked at each other...and proceeded to sit back down as if they wanted to finish their pic at this moment. As those that had just arrived were mere flies that didn''t need to disrupt their ns! This was how much trust these girls had when it came to Noah! "This is a rather rude manner to carry yourself in someone else''s home." ¡­! Not answering the question of who he was and what Conve he belonged to, Noah actually voiced out such a thing calmly as he caused the eyes of the dozens of experts to be cold and filled with sharp lights. The Gxy Rank Elder at the very forefront had his robes fluttering as his aged eyes squinted sharply, his voice reverberating out an octave higher than before. "Home? The Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne is not anybody''s home! For you to be proiming it as such would mean you are going against the agreements established by all the Empyrean Conves!" WAA! As he spoke, he waved his hands towards those following him as they spread out to surround Noah and the two girls that had begun to enjoy their food again without worries. All of their eyes were focused on Noah as they felt a sense of wildness from this being, seeing him remain unfettered as he locked his gaze onto all of them one by one and spoke out shocking words. "This little Sanctuary is my home...this entire Sublunary ne is my home! Any ce you step in here and act as such...is not a vition of the Empyrean Conves, but a vition against me!" ¡­! The words came down like a strike of thunder as it caused the myriad of experts from the Empyrean ne ranging from Neb all the way to Gxy to look ahead incredulously, the ims Noah was making seeming so incredulous...but they felt like they had to take them seriously! The leading Gxy Rank Empyrean Elder felt rm bells ringing in his mind as this being...actually moved with care as he took out a glimmeringmunication medallion, putting essence into it as he wanted to report what had urred here right away to the forces of the Empyrean and Celestial nes. But¡­ "Hmm?!" Even as he ced essence into themunications medallion, it wasn''t lighting up and connecting to anything no matter how he tried! This was the calm voice of the being that had just proimed the Sublunary ne to be his home came out once more. "The chance tomunicate with the outside world was gone the moment you stepped in here. Can you feel it? The Pervasive mental waves around you?" ¡­! A foreboding feeling began to creep up in the heart of the Conve Elder at such a development, his body lighting up gloriously with essence as the dozens of experts he brought with him did the same! "Who are you?! We are under the orders of Dimensional Hegemonies to apprehend a single being, and are not looking for any unrted enemies!" The Conve Elder had be very careful as he spoke, his face changing gradually as he only now noticed the thin waves of mental energy that had somehow silently covered everything around them. This was one of Noah''s newly unlocked abilities stemming from the Mind Dominator Inherent Skill- it was [Absolute Mental Istion Field]! [Absolute Mental Istion Field] :: Allows the user to turn a surrounding mile into an istion field that others cannot teleport out of, release any sound from, or send anymunications across space. Enemies within the Mental Istion Field face a 20% Reduction in All Stats as the debuffs of Demoralized, Impotent, and Reduced Health and Mana Regeneration are afflicted. A fairly simple ability, but a dominating one nheless as it allowed Noah to create a field where those outside of it could not hear or feel what was happening within it! His cerulean eyes shone brightly as he looked at the enemies before him, already considering them a part of his subjugations as his voice echoed out. "But you see...I''m not unrted at all." ¡­! With such words uttered, essence began to billow out madly as the faces of all beings changed, the only thing remaining the same being the two drop dead gorgeous girls sitting behind Noah that didn''t feel any pressure, nibbling on snacks as they watched the scene before them y out! Chapter 187 - Moths Rushing Towards Blazing Flames! III [Absolute Mental Istion Field]! It was a stupendous ability that Noah received from the Inherent Skill of the Mind Dominator when he entered the Quasar Realm! Before that he received [Ruler''s Guider] when he ascended from neb to ck Hole, this ability making it possible for him to gain a 1% increase in All Parameters of his abilities for every Subjugated being under him! Of course, there was a cap of 100,000%, but even that was a stupendous number as it made Noah expectant to expand the number of beings that he had subjugated. Then there was the third skill unlocked under Mind Dominator that came when he achieved the Realm of Gxy. This one was even more unique as it was termed Collective Mind! [Collective Mind] :: The Dominator and the Subjugated can act as a collective consciousness as the passive abilities of High-Speed Processing and Parallel Minds, increasing the mentalputing capabilities of the Mind Dominator greatly. An ability that allowed for high-speed mentalputing among other things as the major takeaway from it was that if Noah thought slow before...he would be able to ount for and look at many possibilities in than the passing of a millisecond as he acted at faster speeds than anyone on the same level as him. These three unlocked abilities were only under Mind Dominator, and there were still 6 more that came from the Ancient Mind and Telekic Emperor Inherent Skills! Against the newly arriving enemies from the Empyrean Conve, Noah began to utilize them one by one as after he made them not capable of even contacting outside forces, he continued calling out slowly. "[Absolute Protection], [Mind Realm]." THRUM! The faces of the powerful experts from the Empyrean Conve changed once again with Noah''s casting of two abilities, this first one actually causing a milky light to wrap around Annalise and Rose''s bodies along with Noah, this being an [Absolute Protection] that would not fail as long as Noah''s mind didn''t fall! It redirected all damage onto his vast consciousness as for as long as he could withstand it, Physical and Mental Damage were as good as nullified. As for [Mind Realm]...it was an even stricter form of secrecy as Noah wanted no possibilities of problems, this ability allowing him to transform the surrounding space and the existences around him into a unique Realm made purely of mental essence! Within this Mental Realm, Noah was capable of disying +1,000% more of his power as the enemies suffered a -20% Reduction in All Stats, and for the current situation when he also cast? Absolute Mental Istion Field that had its own 20% Reduction- all enemies would have nearly half of their power cut off before the battle even began. With the cast of the skill, the spatialws around the area they were in changed as everyone found themselves not in the Sanctuary anymore, billowing blue smoke being seen all around them as it formed into a dome like structure that enclosed all of them in! This dome-like structure was the separate mental space that Noah had brought everyone to, the [Mind Realm] that would feel like a hellish space suffocating all enemies! The leading Elder from the Empyrean ne felt this more closely as he was the most powerful one there, his constantly changing expression gaining a forbidding somberness as he called out powerfully. "Sir...If we intruded in your domain, we can talk first!" WAA! Even though he could see Noah was barely entering his 20s, the aged Elder that had lived for hundreds of years actually called out with a face full of shame as he felt the situation was bing increasingly advantageous! When he looked around him, all of those he brought here ranging from Neb all the way to Gxy had even more somber expressions, a hint of fear even being seen in their eyes when they felt the terrifying aura that the calm being before them was now releasing. But Noah only smiled lightly as he didn''t listen to any of their words, casting Ruler''s Emanation as a terrifying pressure descended down, the enemies before him feeling like the weight of the whole sky had fallen on their shoulders as most of them even fell on their knees! At this juncture of sudden oppressive power descending down, Noah cast the newly gained third skill of the Telekic Emperor. "[Illusory Will of the Emperor]." WAA! His mental essence billowed out in waves as it descended onto the minds of the dozens of experts still under heavy pressure from Ruler''s Emenation, Annalise and Rose looking at this scene in awe as Noah had tremendous control of his consciousness to selectively only affect those he wished, the two girls only affirming their beliefs of how ridiculously powerful the man in front of them was! They watched as Noah''s third skill under Telekic Emperor took effect, this one inducing those who couldn''t protect their mental states into illusions that when they fell into...they wouldn''t be able to leave! "Ah¡­!" The Origin of the leading Elder from the Empyrean Conve shone brightly as he tried to fight Noah''s tremendous waves of pressure, but against a consciousness that had devoured countless numbers of existences...what could a being at the same level do? In a short period of time, the dozens of experts ranging from Neb all the way to Gxy had fallen to their knees as they had a myriad of expressions on their faces, all of them seemingly experiencing different illusions as all of their physical and mental defenses were torn down. All of this...was done without Noah even moving a muscle! His regal ck robes draped over him gloriously as he nced at the dozens of experts now on the floor, his eyes shing with a powerful blue light as he spoke out thest piece of the puzzle to start on a path he could only continue forging forward on. "Subjugation." THRUM! Arcs of blue light weaved from his eyes and billowed out, the defenseless existences currently experiencing illusions being akin to chicken brought to ughter as they would be subjugated before they even knew it! This....was the advance party from the Empyrean ne that had descended onto Noah''s Sublunary ne to search for him, its very leaders about to fall first and silently as nobody would know what urred here today! Chapter 188 - Target The Connections Of The Celestial Conclaves! I The dust settled. The Mind Realm and Absolute Mental Istion Field faded away. What was left behind was Noah''s figure ncing at dozens of experts that were just now rising up, their expressions changing entirely as they had already be his Subjugated beings! He didn''t even have to use his newly gained Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity from the rewards of the Legacy Dao Rift, just his pure mental power alone being enough to take down existences at the GALAXY Rank and below. His mind was currently sorting through the myriad of memories he gained from the newly Subjugated Blessed that were Elders and Conves and top disciples of multiple differing ranks, Noah also gaining even more information on the movements of beings in the Empyrean ne. After a few seconds, his eyes shed powerfully as he sorted everything out, learning more details about two powerful Empyrean Conves that were taking the lead in this search...as well as the connection they held to the forces within the Celestial ne! The structure of the Empyrean and Celestial ne was well established, with the Empyrean Conves acting with autonomy within the ne as they owned rights to specific Law and Dao Dimensional Rifts. There were three conves as the most powerful ones, with 2 of them having the backing of powerful factions from the Celestial ne. These two...were the ones that Noah wanted to focus on and infiltrate, getting more Subjugated Blessed in here as it would be a straight path towards the forces of the Celestial ne! Along the way, he would also be adding the Dao and Law Dimensional Rifts he came across until the Dimensional Hegemonies targeting him for the Legacy of the Great Usurper...were all under him! ''A step at a time¡­'' He held a smile on his face as he thought this, ncing at the Idle Gaming Interface to see the thing that brought him a lot offort in the past few days. It was, of course, the Idle Resources stemming from the Legacy Dao Rift that he just added! Since this Rift was a unique one where it was more of a trial with its Beasts being at the Neb Rank, the rewards were reflected at this level for the Cores he received...but the number of Grand and Cosmic Dao Crystals were something that caused his endlessly to ceaselessly surge every day! [+24,000 Idle Exp],[+600 Cosmic Dao Crystals of Tenebrosity], [+2,400 Grand Dao Crystals of Incandescence], [+2,400 Grand Dao Crystals of Destruction],[+2,400 Grand Dao Crystals of Vastness],[+2,400 Grand Dao Crystals of the Sword] [+10,000 NEBULA Cores], [+10,000,000 Neb Rank Upgrade Crystals]... The Neb Rank cores and Crystals might not be much to look at, but it was the Dao Crystals of 4 Grand Daos and the Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity that made Noah extremely confident for the future toe. Every 24 hours, he would get 600 Cosmic Dao Crystals as he needed just a few weeks to fully assimte this Dao of Tenebrosity, and it would be a matter of another day or two before he fully finished assimting the 4 Grand Daos as he was receiving 2400 of them each every single day! Aside from the Abyssal ne Expedition and other features he held, Noah''s confidence stemmed from this the most as he gave a light nod while looking at the now kneeling Subjugated Blessed before him. "Contact the others you descended down with and call them here. Let us increase the ranks of your brothers and sisters!" WAA! He held a smiling expression as he spoke such chilling words, and the beings before him merely nodded as they moved to carry out the orders. Annalise looked at this scene as she clicked her lips, her eyes shining with intense battle power as ice began to unconsciously build up around her. She wanted to wield this same sort of power as she never wanted to be in a position where she was helpless again, and seeing Noah like this only reminded her and reinforced her beliefs that she had to follow the same path as her brother! She nced at Rose beside her as a light of conviction coursed through her eyes, her vibrant red hair glistening as she spoke towards Noah. "What will you be doing now?" Noah heard the questing of his little sister as he turned back quizzically, walking back towards theid out pic with glistening food as if nothing had just urred as he replied. "I''ll be using the Blessed I''ve already Subjugated to gain ess to the most powerful conves in the Empyrean ne, especially the two that are backed by the Dimensional Hegemonies that appeared on that day! Why''s my little sister asking? You''re feeling bored here?" Noah asked in a teasing tone as he noticed the vibrating ice particles around Annalise. She scoffed at his words as she replied. "I don''t want you to be the only one bing capable while Ig behind, so I''ll join you for support!" She disyed her thoughts clearly as Noah and Rose looked at each other, not helping but break out into smiles as Noah agreed to his sister''s words. He was confident in protecting her, so there were no worries! He instead turned towards the one that had remained observing their home Realm this whole time. "How about you, Rose? The Ethereal Realm is enough for you?" His question caught the girl by surprise as she unconsciously nodded before she spoke out. "As long as we get the chance to be together like this every now and then, I''ll be more than content. When the battles and conflicts are over...I''ll think of something else then." The Ethereal Queen spoke lightly as she thought of a possible future, Noah nodding towards her as he thought about his own future. About facing Dimensional Hegemonies that ruled over the Celestial ne, and about obtaining enough power to obtain the full Legacy of the Great Usurper tucked away in another vast Dimension! Chapter 189 - Target The Connections Of The Celestial Conclaves! II In the Empyrean ne. Across the innumerable stars and Realms of this ne, there were clusters that were very well known, and it was mostly due to the power and backing that the forces residing in these locations had! Two of such clusters were termed the Abode of the Celestials and the Golden Expanse, where the Conves upying these regions were the ones holding the strongest connections to forces in the Celestial ne. The two conves were the Illustrious Celestial Conve from the Abode of the Celestials Region and the Golden Destiny Conve from the Golden Expanse region! The Illustrious Celestial Conve was particrly renowned as many considered it a branch Conve of the main Illustrious Celestial Conve in the Celestial ne. At the heart of the Abode of the Celestials, in the headquarters of the Illustrious Celestial Conve. At this moment, a new leadership had descended down from the Celestial ne and was currently upying the reigns of power, this leadership being the Dimensional Hegemony that was the one to move against Noah and have him in the palm of his hands before he disappeared! Such a being was currently situated above a grand high rising castle that wasrger than most stadiums, the entire structure being made of Crystals and gold as it glistened in the light. His robes fluttered in the wind as he was gazing out towards the kingdoms below him where billions of existences moved, his eyes devoid of emotion as they shed with coldness! Behind him, the steps of a figure could be heard as a voice rang out. "Dimensional Hegemony of Gold...we all want your hands into the pie that is the Great Usurper, but aren''t your movements too extreme? To mobilize the entire forces of the Empyrean ne for our search?" The voice was calm.and steady,ing from a curvaceous figure of a woman that had glimmering dark hair flowing past her shoulder. Her face seemed to always carry a hint of smile as this being was also a Dimensional Hegemony! The Hegemony of Gold didn''t even turn around at her words as he only replied coldly. "Hegemony of Love...you all still do not truly know what the Legacy of the Great Usurper signifies. To lose it...is to lose the chance of a lifetime!" THRUM! Decisive words wereid out as the one termed the Hegemony of Love replied carefully. "The other forces within the Celestial ne have caught wind of what we''re doing days ago, with those that stand against us already lurking in the dark to try and find any gaps within our defences. We all want this Legacy, but is it important enough to risk everything we have created in the Celestial ne?" ¡­! Against such words, the Hegemony of Gold didn''t refute, and instead replied back with a mysterious tone! "If we can get our hands on the Legacy of the Great Usurper, forget the quarter of influence we have in the Celestial ne...we will be capable of obtaining 100% of it!" WAA! Domineering words came out as the eyes of Gold shed gloriously, his voice continuing to echo out. "The Great Usurper wasn''t just another expert that stood above all of us in the past...he was an existence that had gone past the realm of Hegemonies as he had long ago achieved Antiquity! His strength was immeasurable as when we obtain his methods¡­everything will fall under ourp!" "..." The air crackled with power as this being finished his words, his powerful expression turning around as he stared at the Hegemony of Love coldly. His right hand reached out as he grasped onto her cheek and locked his eyes with her, the curvaceous and drop dead gorgeous figure of this existence before him seemingly not being seen in his eyes as his voice rang out. "That is why we must find that little rat Chambeyne. He holds the key as what he obtained was only a portion of the Legacy. As long as we can hold him down and pull out his memories...we will have everything." His strong hands still grasped onto the right side of her face as he spoke, this showing the power discrepancy between these two beings as the dark hair of the Hegemony of Love continued to flow down her shoulders beautifully, her eyes turning utterly cold. "With us being prepared and your skills among others, there should be little chance of failure...Love" The gaze of the Hegemony of Gold was bright as he spoke, but the voice replying to him shook him out of his stupor in the next moment! "Get your fucking hands off of me." RUMBLE! The eyes of the Hegemony of Love turned exceedingly cold as she continued with icy eyes! "We continue to work together because ofmon goals...don''t think for a second you can take advantage because of your leading role. I''ll be taking my leave and overseeing the search with the Golden Destiny Conve incharge of the Southern Region and the little Sublunary ne." ¡­! With a strong tone, the displeased Hegemony of Love began to walk away from Gold, her voice continuing toe out faintly as a spatial light began to cover her. "I''ll be sure to send updates if anything meaningful urs." WAP! With that, her figure disappeared as the only one left behind was the Hegemony of Gold, his eyes encoding utterly wrathful at this moment! "Even mere whores dare to talk back to me now...haha! They don''t know anything! The Great Usurper¡­" The gaze of Gold was reminiscent as this being held information others didn''t, as he knew a lot more about the Great Usurper and just what his power could achieve. "When I get it within my hands on what he left behind, this entire Universe will dance within the palm of my hands!" RUMBLE! Power billowed out from his body as one could see a glimmering Universe faintly glowing on his chest, the realm of this existence being frightening as his mere pressure alone nearly caused the surrounding space to fracture. Past the Gxy Realm that Noah had just achieved, one had to go through it and achieve the GALACTIC FILAMENT Realm that had its own divisions, and then they had to achieve the UNIVERSAL REALM from their myriad of Gxies as they would finally arrive at the titles of beings known as Hegemonies! Such beings moved with power and purpose in the Chaotic Universe as currently, one holding sway of a major force was targeting Noah and his Legacy! Chapter 190 - Target The Connections Of The Celestial Conclaves! III Within one of the headquarters of the Golden Destiny Conve known as the Destined Realm. The Conve Leader of this Empyrean Conve was currently standing with a serious expression, his chest showing manifested Gxies in the billions as this being was above the simple Gxy Realm and has already entered the Gctic Fment Realm! He was lined up with multiple Elders beside him that were mostly middle-aged or wizened old men with a few beautiful Saintesses, but all of their eyes carried a hint of seriousness as they weed the being they could already sense the aura of from far away. "Hegemony of Love!" WAA! The Conve Leader bowed respectfully as the figure of this powerful Hegemony appeared before them, her red eyesnguid as she voiced out simply. "What''s the progress and what areas have you all covered?" With a sonorous voice, a Hegemony arrived to oversee the search for the being holding the Legacy of the Great Usurper, not knowing that he was actually making his way here soon enough! --- Many conves had their own regions to search across the vast Empyrean ne and even the Sublunary ne, with the Golden Destiny Conve being the one to oversee the Southern Region of the Empyrean ne as well as the smaller Sublunary ne below! This was the information that Noah had obtained after he Subjugated the leading party from the Golden Destiny Conve, the Elder that was standing powerfully in the GALAXY Realm. Yet this being was currently under Noah''s beck and call, along with all the recently descended beings that had spread out but were called back just minutester by their Leader, only to fall in Noah''sp soon after. It was an extremely precarious situation that Noah was handling extremely well, having very little information leaking out as he allowed the now Subjugated Blessed to ''search'' and report this as normal as they would have done anyways. Thus, the Sublunary ne remained calm while the Empyrean ne was the one with the busiest activities! Even Catherine had not been able to step out of the Tenebrous Conve, this destructive girl only being able to send Noah amunication for him to be careful. "Careful...huh?" Noah said these words with a smile as he stood beside Annalise and the strongest Subjugated Blessed he had under him so far- the Gxy Rank Elder that was known as Elder Stone! This being hase down to the Sublunary ne to do a sweep as directed by the upper echelons of the Golden Destiny Conve, and now he and his forces were under Noah as they were currently walking up the Golden Stairway of Ascension to go into the Empyrean ne. It was only Elder Stone being apanied back by a few ''disciples'' of the Conve, Noah and Annalise being some of them as Noah began carrying out his ns right away. Currently, the goal was to infiltrate not just the Empyrean ne deeply, but more so the two Conves that had direct connections with the Celestial powerhouses. The Golden Destiny Conve was one such a Conve as Noah prepared for his entrance there, their figures stepping onto the Stairway of Ascension as they disappeared in a short period of time! After the spatial discement of moving across nes, they appeared near the marker that Elder Stone and all those from the Golden Destiny Conve had- a marker that would teleport them to the domain of this Conve. Noah and Annalise looked around with bright eyes as they found themselves in and of verdant greenery that was tinged with gold, the voice of Elder Stone stretching out. "Wee to the Destined Realm, Master." The Destined Realm! One of the core locations of the Golden Destiny Conve, and a ce that Noah had entered too easily with the forces he Subjugated! He nodded slightly as he began to step out, enjoying the sights around him as he recalled his memories of this ce from his Subjugated Blessed. A myriad of expertsy within this ce, with more Elders at the GALAXY Realm and even existences in the Gctic Fment Realm that could hold vastly different stages of power depending on where they were in this Realm. If they had just stepped into the Gctic Fment Realm as they assimted a few Daos, these beings were given a title above Sages and were known as Great Sages! They had to go from a single Gxy within their Origin to multiple Gxies, their power increasing by arge extent. The leaders of most Conves were within this stage of Gctic Fment and known as Great Sages. Those advanced further and were past the Middle Rank of Gctic Fment having forged over 50 Billion Gxies were known as Monarchs. Very few Monarchs moved around in the Empyrean ne normally, and they were only rampant in the Celestial ne! Past the title of Monarchs, Blessed could be granted the title of Paragon after they reached the full 100 Billion Gxies within the Gctic Fment stage- and they were just shy from the nearly impossible task of forming a Universe with all these Gxies and bing Dimensional Hegemonies! So within the stage of Gctic Fment, there were Blessed titled Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons. When they went from a Gctic Fment and into a Universe, they became Hegemonies! Noah was looking forward to such a stage the most as he took his steps across the verdant grass tinged with stripes of gold, going towards the headquarters of the Golden Destiny Conve silently! "Let''s go see what one of the most powerful Conves of this Empyrean ne has, hmm?" Noah voiced out with a smile as Annalise followed closely behind him, her eyes sparkling with light as she was finally able to apany her brother on another adventure. This Destined Realm before then was vast, and it was chosen as the headquarters of this powerful Conve because of the Dimensional Rifts within it! Within this Realm, they would be able to find multiple Lesser Dao Rifts, and Noah would even get the chance to get his hands on the single Grand Dao Dimensional Rift within this Realm that gave out the Dao Crystals of Destiny. It was this Grand Dao that granted the Golden Destiny Conve their initial power, making them very proficient in destiny as they used this to get where they were now. Now, Noah wanted this Rift added to the many that he would have, this Destined Realm just being his first pit stop! Chapter 191 - Destiny! I The Destined Realm was extremely vast, beingrger than multiple worlds under Noah''s standards as the number of Continents in it alone reached over 30. Much of thends were fantasticalndscapes of verdant mountains and exquisite structures built upon these mountains, giving Noah the fantasy feel of sagely sects that he normally read about in wuxia and xianxia novels! Their figures were flying across a few mountain peaks in one of the central Continents where the disciples of the Golden Destiny Conve normally stayed, but these mountains were currently not as full as a vast majority of the disciples were mobilized for the search. Under the lead of the Subjugated Elder Stone, Noah strutted in as if it was his home, arriving into this Elders abode that was atop a lush mountain with clear streams all around. It looked extremely ethereal and peaceful as they flew down with Elder Stone speaking to them. "The Grand Dao Rift holding Crystals of Destiny is just a few mountains away from here, but we currently have an unexpected guest as it might be best to lie low for now!" The Subjugated Gxy Rank Blessed spoke respectively towards Noah as he mentioned the arrival of a certain guest in the Destined Realm. Noah delved into the memories of this being as his eyes shone sharply, seeing that all the Elders were told of the arrival of a Hegemony that would be overseeing things from now on. For Noah, this wasn''t a problem at all as he didn''t n to rush forward stupidly to challenge powerful enemies. He would take his time to solidify his foundations in the Destined Realm which had the core power of one of the three most powerful Conves of the Empyrean ne! Aside from adding many Rifts into Idle Mode, he wanted to slowly Subjugate the most powerful Elders and even the Conve Leaders of this Golden Destiny Conve while still taking his time to go through the features of the Idle Gaming System. "We''ll move silently for now as our influence increases. We won''t yet bother with the Hegemonies that we cannot even touch until I reach their levels!" His words were taken asmands as Elder Stone moved to make preparations, Noah and Annalise adorning the robes and identity of the Conve disciples as they began to explore the fantastical mountains around them. Noah didn''t have any worries that not too far away from his position, the powerhouse that was a Hegemony had descended to take over the operations of this Conve, his focus remaining straightforward as he inserted himself into the Golden Destiny Conve silently! The day passed without any issues as night dawned on the Destined Realm, some areas bing livelier while others became quiet. On the mountain of Elder Stone, it was particrly more vibrant the auras of two other Elders stepped onto the mountain not too far into the night. "Stone, why call us here at such a crucial time? Did you already finish sweeping the Sublunary ne?" Elders that were considered friends of Elder Stone were silently called forth, entering the lush mountains as they stepped onto a grand above reminiscent to a castle on this mountain that was located at the very peak. Their boisterous voices echoed out asughter erupted from inside the grand abode, Elder Stone calling them in as they entered swiftly. The two elders arrived in the hall of the castle as they saw the auras of quite a few beings in here, but they didn''t bother with this as their focus remained on Elder Stone. "Stone, you know that¡­-!" One of the Elders had just begun to speak with a smile towards Stone, but his words came to a stop when he saw the figure of Stone standing expressionless beside a seated figure that was ncing towards them with deadly blue eyes! "What is this..?" Before their questions could evene out, these beings didn''t know that their fate was sealed. A Mental Istion Field had already been ced the moment they entered, and a Mind Realm had been set up even faster as nothing that urred in this area would even be heard by a being walking a few steps away. The two Elders felt a foreboding feeling as they locked their gazes towards Elder Stone, their expressions quizzical as they questioned with caution! "Stone...what are you doing? Why did you call us here?" They tried to prove for more information, but the Stone they always knew actually didn''t reply as he seemingly looked towards Noah for direction! Besides Noah, Annalise didn''t just look at this scene with curiosity, dense sparks of ice began to form behind her as they silently spread to encircle the already enclosed Realm they were in. Noah''s voice echoed out domineering in the next second. "Don''t focus on him...focus on me. I''vee to expand a bit of my reach into the vast resources and Rifts of the Empyrean and Celestial nes, might you two be of help?" RUMBLE! The words were filled with calmness as they caused the hearts of the two Elders to shudder, their faces turning ashen as their bodies began to light up with Incandescent lights! The unique essence of Destiny weaved out of them gloriously, causing the hall to shimmer gold as these beings tried to change their current predicament. Their warning bells and proficiency in the Grand Dao of Destiny had begun to resound rmingly, their essence moving to actually steer themselves away from this destiny as...such a thing was hard to do when faced with a nigh unstoppable force! "Ruler''s Emanation." Noah called out lightly as his terrifying will descended down, actually wiping away the wisps of gold that were rising from the bodies of these beings. After luring these Gxy Rank Elders here, Noah''s eyes shed a gorgeous blue as he embarked on his continued path of Subjugation and Conquest, his hands waving out as terrifying attacks began to rain down. Even though it was two Gxy Rank Elders, they were nothing before Noah''s stupendous mental strength as in a matter of seconds- two new additions of Subjugated had appeared. That was 3 Elders of the Golden Destiny Conve that were now under Noah as he would only continue to stretch his hands out even further until he could freely walk throughout this grand realm of one of the strongest Conves of the Empyrean ne! Chapter 192 - Destiny! II The expansion into the powerhouses of the Golden Destiny Conve thereafter was but an easy affair as Noah moved in utter secrecy to slowly bring more and more of their powerful Elders under him. On the third day within the Destined Realm, Noah and Annalise were walking across the white steps snaking up a famous mountain peak within this Realm known as the Grand Mountain. It was on this mountain that the Grand Dao Dimensional Rift that could give one Dao Crystals of Destiny, Noah moving to add this to his collection as he wondered what he would be able to do with Destiny! The rank for this Rift was also a terrifying one, not being something unique like the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift that even though it gave out Dao Crystals, it was at the rank of a Neb. This Dao Crystal was at the GALAXY Rank as the terrifying beasts within were too vast to count, their two figures arriving in front of the pulsating Gxy colored Rift as they looked at it in awe! A Gxy Rank Elder and a Quasar disciple were guarding the top of the white steps that led into the Rift, but none of them batted an eye on Noah and Annaliseing up as these beings were long ago targeted and had fallen to be Noah''s Subjugations. "How long do you think the clear time will be for a Gxy Rank Rift?" Annalise asked lightly as her crimson hair waved in the wind. The girl was looking forward to delving into this Rift as even with Noah constantly giving her the loot he received from the Treasure Troves of the Infinite Crucible that he had been spamming in the past few days, she still hadn''t consumed enough GALAXY Rank Cores to achieve this rank as she was still stuck at Quasar! This Rift before her would allow her to obtain even more Cores as the icy elements around her body were jumping excitedly. Noah let out a light smile as he patted her head and replied. "A Gxy Rank Rift...so if we go a bit wild, many 30 minutes?" WAA! Words of utter confidence and might came out as Annalise''s shone with light, the two of them stepping into the Grand Dao Dimensional Rift under the silent watch of Subjugated Elders and Disciples! --- Within the very same Destined Realm. The Hegemony of Love had frustrated expression as she continued to get more and more of the same news- of the fact that the Chambeyne holding the Legacy of the Great Usurper had disappeared into thin air! No matter where any of them looked, this being could not be found! Not in the Empyrean ne, not in the Sublunary ne, nor the Celestial ne! The search for this being across the entire Chaotic Universes was all for naught so far as it seemed like the legacy of a powerful existence would pass by them just like that. "Hmph." Love had a frustrated expression as her fairplexion was vibrant with the golden hues of themand room she was in, thismand room being in the central continent of the Destined Realm where the core power of this Conve would normally be residing in. It was on the highest floor of a uniquely designed high-rise castle, golden halls stretching out from thismand room as a few Elders and disciples would asionallye through these halls to report. Each of them kept a respectful distance towards the powerful Hegemony overseeing everything, but they could hear her curses every now and then as they returned with fewer and fewer results! "That damn Gold! He must know something the rest of us don''t...but what can we do if we can''t even find the being responsible?!" Her frustrated words were uttered underneath her breath as she sighed. Unbeknownst to her, a Subjugated Elder was looking and observing her curiously from a distance, Noah obtaining a whole lot more information on these beings and their movements as they wouldn''t know what hit them in the future! Right now, his interest was bing increasingly drawn towards the information this Hegemony before him was releasing as he only used his powerful mind to peer from a distance. "Interesting¡­" The subjugated Elder voiced out silently as he continued to keep watch, Noah and Annalise already beginning to move in the Gxy Rank Dao Dimensional Rift that they just entered! After crossing through the shimmering rift, they found themselves appearing in vast golden ins, the grass below them shimmering gold as it waved out for countless miles. The ce they appeared within the Rift wasrger than multiple words and Realms, Noah being able to spread his aura out across over 100,000 miles as he still couldn''t feel the ends of it. But what he did feel...was the abundant essence of the Dao of Destiny that was clustered in the bodies of multiple Gxy Rank Beasts and Rift Bosses! Beasts that he could now devour the souls and realms of as he pushed himself to the peak of the GALAXY Rank, beasts that could grant him a myriad of Dao Crystals of Destiny as he wondered what this Dao would bring! RUMBLE! He waved his hands as behind his and Annalise''s figure, the auras of terrifying Rift Bosses began to arise as Noah released 7 Gxy Rank Rift Bosses that caused the very surroundings to shake, along with 5 Rift Bosses at the Quasar Realm that weren''t lucky enough to be upgraded yet. "ROAAR!" The one at the very forefront was a prominent Dragon of Destruction that had a glimmering gxy on its robust crystalline chest, a manifested Gxy swirling powerfully within its body as storms of Aether were already forming from its sheer appearance! Around it were terrifying Sentinels of Destruction, Primal Phoenixes, and other Dragons of Destruction as their auras waved out madly and caused the uncountable number of beasts near them to bellow back in rage. Noah didn''t know just how many beasts he would find within this rift, but as he heard their roars and felt them rushing towards him at great speeds, a smile formed on his lips as he stretched his neck and voiced out slowly. "Let''s go for the half an hour clear rate." ¡­! ROAR! His units bellowed out with affirmation as they flew out to separate directions, Noah''s mental energy wrapping up around Annalise and giving her absolute defense as his mental waves wrapped around her, their figures shooting forward to join the onught ofing beasts as they looked forward to obtaining a myriad of Gxy Cores and getting their hands on the Grand Dao of Destiny! Chapter 193 - Destiny! III Destiny was a unique thing to think about. To many, they had no control of it, and even those who could control Destiny¡­they had very little leeway to do it! An example was the Golden Destiny Conve itself. If they were truly masters of destiny like their name intended, wouldn''t they already be masters of the Empyrean and Celestial nes? They were not- which showed the limitation that some beings would have even if theyprehended the Grand Dao of Destiny! But¡­this was not the case for Noah. Certain beings were simply built differently, with their destiny being something that far superseded all others! If such beings were capable of peering into their destiny and beginning to navigate it consciously¡­they were bound to cause a hugemotion, whether it was in their nes, or their entire Universe. BOOM! A golden sphinx fell down before Noah''s eyes as the generated sma beams finally tore through its defenses, Noah''s eyes glimmering as after nearly clearing one side of this fantastical Dao Dimensional Rift, he saw the appearance of two glimmering Crystals drop as loot! WAA! His eyes fluttered quickly as the crystals were brought to him, a golden glow perfusing around him. "That''s¡­" Annalise''s voice rang out a few feet away as this girl was absorbing a Gxy Rank Core while releasing Ice Meteors in front of them, turning her eyes to see what Noah was grabbing onto due to their radiance! "Grand Dao Crystals of Destiny! Haha, let''s finish up!" THRUM! His blue eyes released arcs of light as he looked at the sight before him, seeing the white glistening Ice Meteors descend down by Annalise''smands as before them, a myriad of golden colored beasts releasing the essence of destinyy dead before them. His senses connected to his Units as he saw their regions were almost cleared, with three of them meeting the rift bosses of the Grand Dao Rift as for Noah''s Units¡­they would not be hindered by such Rift Bosses! Beams of sma formed around him he helped Annalise to clear up the rest of the Beasts, thest one falling as his Units also finished ganging up on the remaining Rift Boss from far away. OOM! A blue runic circle began to form and shine not too far from Noah as he received a prompt right before his eyes soon after. [The Grand Layer of the Sphinx has been added to Idle Mode.] It was the notice of a Grand Dao Dimensional Rift being added to Idle Mode, and it was one that caused Noah to be excited as he sat down in a meditative position soon after! Annalise came to sit beside him as she was still absorbing Gxy Cores, her eyes curiously staring at the golden crystals that Noah was about to absorb. "Now¡­let''s see what Destiny is!" Noah couldn''t dy any longer as he didn''t even leave the Rift, beginning to absorb the Grand Dao Crystals right there as he truly wanted to know about Destiny! He had learned thew of fate as it gave him glimpses of directions of where to go, but the most that one could discern with fate was short term time limits and events currently urring around them. With Destiny, it was a much grander concept- especially with it being a Dao, as someone would be able to learn just how grand their Destiny is. The beings that were destined for a grand life or those who would be rulers of Realms of even Universes would have rivers of golden destiny waving around them, with those even more powerful gaining ess and being able to see their Fortune! Noah wanted to know how wondrous his Destiny would be, and what exactly awaited him in the future after he obtained the Legacy of the Usurper in conjunction with the Idle Gaming System. He was already experiencing utter ease on his journey as literally nothing was standing in his way, and he wondered just how much smoother his journey would get. THRUM! A golden glow began to emte with him at the very center as he began to absorb the wondrous Grand Dao Crystals of Destiny. "My destiny¡­" He uttered slowly as his blue eyes brightened gold briefly, theprehension of a high tier Grand Dao flowing into him as he began able to see the waves of destiny surrounding him. He had a smile on his face as his eyes rose up to meet the scene that he was not able to see before, the scene of his vast Destiny that was¡­ ¡­! The smile on his face faded. His eyes turned grim and began to shake as when they rose up with the golden glow to see his own destiny¡­he didn''t see vast rivers of golden destiny swirling around him! Instead, he was shocked to find a heavy and murky cloud of darkness that was gradually liquifying, this cloud of darkness covering everything around him for miles as it would even affect those around him! "What?!" RUMBLE! He unconsciously rose up with a bellow at the unbelievable sight, Annalise looking towards him with worry as she saw his expression of shock and disbelief. How could he not be shocked? The moment heprehended Destiny and looked at his own, he was faced with the reality that his destiny was extremely grim, no matter how bright his current life was! He saw dense murky clouds surrounding him as they represented a future of death and destruction, and this was his own future- not of others! There was barely an ounce of gold in his Destiny as Noah felt his disbelief and anger rising, the Crystals of Destiny he was holding and absorbing cracking as the more heprehended this dao, the clearer he became of his own destiny. Barely any wisps of gold could be seen as they represented his current situation- everything going smoothly around him without any worries. But everything else was a vast darkness as at the end of it all¡­was death. ¡­! Death! To a being such as him who had the most overpowered System! To someone like him that could traverse dimensions after obtaining the legacy of a terrifying expert! His Destiny after all this was actually so bad as it prompted him to ask- just who or what in the future would take everything he had from him?! BZZT! The surroundings began to tremble and shake as Noah''s eyes began to release wrathful arcs of light. "Brother?!" Annalise called out with rm as she felt her figure pushed away, a thundering voice reaching her ears as it boomed from Noah''s figure. "I refuse to ept it!" WAA! Chapter 194 - Unwilling! "I refuse to ept it!" ¡­! Yes! He refused his own destiny! He knew it wasn''t false as the Grand Dao of Destiny wouldn''t lie, but he refused it nheless as it didn''t make sense. With everything he had, how could his Destiny be so abysmal? Even though he continued to ask himself this, he couldn''te to an answer as the Grand Dao he just learned didn''t tell him specific details of what would be urring, and it just mentioned his own end result! "Noah¡­" Annalise voiced out carefully as she came beside him, her eyes holding a hint of worry as he was taken out of his daze. He saw the love and care in his sister''s eyes as he tried his best to smile. "It''s nothing. I just saw something unexpected with my Destiny, that''s all." His voice was low as he patted her head, his sister knowing there was something else but as he didn''t share, she left it alone as she merely nodded! She knew her brother''s nature very well, where most of the time he would be carefree andughing as him getting angry or losing his cool was very rare! For this to happen right now...it should have been something major. Annalise knew this as she clenched her fists and spoke to him with a straight face. "Whatever Destiny you saw, you can always change it. You''ve been able to do unbelievable things so far, and this will just be another one!" RUMBLE! Her words struck into Noah''s heart as he looked deeply at this sister of his and nodded, keeping her close as he turned his eyes above him.and stared at the cloud of darkness that hung over him. Not an ounce of gold in it could be seen in it as a myriad of thoughts crossed Noah''s mind. He could change it. He had to change it! ''I need to move faster.'' He had been moving rapidly in the past days and weeks as he made great progress, dancing around the Hegemonies searching for him with ease as he thought everything was under his grasp. ''But what more can I do? I''m practically climbing through Realms at ridiculous speeds, and I''ll continue to climb even higher and reach the Gctic Fment Realm and the Universal Realm in the next few weeks or months at most!'' It was a frustrating feeling when you were doing everything you were supposed to, even crossing through Realms that others spent tens of years to cross in a matter of days or weeks, and yet¡­ The light of destiny flickered in his eyes as he continued to search for something. Anything that would allow the cloud of darkness to have rays of gold, anything that might ensure that his path truly didn''t end in destruction! WAA! A thought crossed his mind as he tested many possibilities, barely seeing glimpses of gold pouring in when he thought of different paths to take. ''Not there...not that either...that doesn''t work!'' Frustration welled up in his face more and more as his eyes continued to search, his heVt face only bing lighter when he saw small rays of gold wash down over the dark clouds for some possibilities. There were¡­ "Influence and power¡­" He uttered the words slowly as his blue eyes continued to shine with gold. Influence! Not just over the Sublunary ne, but the Empyrean and Celestial nes within this Chaotic Universe! And then thereafter...he had to go for the other Universes that were contained within this Cosmos he was in! After all of this was over, he had to also stretch his fingers across Dimensions into even more Cosmos! Just this thought on what his direction could be caused small rays of golden light to disperse some of the darkness, but the darkness was still potent as it didn''t fade away. "We''ll take the first steps slowly...let''s go." He spoke towards Annalise as they began to walk towards the Runic magic circle, recalling his Units as they returned to the Destined Realm. As Noah left, he had a decisive expression as he already began to make a move. The purpose of this move was to allow him to move even faster than before! Initially, he nned to continue working undercover andpletely turn everything in the Golden Destiny Conve into subjugations, but now he had to take a risk based off of information he had gathered in the past few days and follow another path? forward. With his immense breadth of knowledge about the powers and Realms he had gained from the Legacy of the Great Usurper about this Chaotic Universe and the Cosmos it belonged to, he could begin making moves right now based on this knowledge. One of these ways...was to y the fact that among the powerhouses out there, all of them were moving with their own aims for power and strength! They all had shattered alliances that were forged for mutual benefits, and if he could y these well enough...he should be able to speed up even faster on his path. There was one such card he could y right now in this Golden Destiny Conve as at this moment, one of the powerhouses that was even prominent in the Celestial ne was currently stationed at the core of this Conve! At this moment, light steps could be heard as from one of the Golden halls leading to themand room of the most important structure of power in the Golden Destiny Conve, a Subjugated Elder was walking toward themanding figure of a Hegemony with purpose. The consciousness of the Elder had long been taken over as Noah was utilizing [Authority of the Dominator] to walk within this boat as if it was his own, not walking too far before the Hegemony situated in one of the many chairs surrounding a huge oval crystalline table raised her brows towards him! "You have something to report?" Her dark hair cascaded down her shoulders beautifully as her gaze would entice many, but Noah returned his impassive expression as he voiced out slowly while he cast [Mind Realm] [Absolute Mental Istion Field]. The Hegemony raised her brow even further at this as seeing the ''weak'' Realm of GALAXY of this being, she didn''t raise a finger as her eyes actually lit up, seeing that something interesting was about to happen amidst her boredom! But the words toe out of this Elder were nothing like she expected as her repression quickly changed. "You''ve been chasing me with such fervor that you''d think you would notice when I''m a few feet away from you." RUMBLE In a calm manner, Noah began to walk forward slowly,ing face to face with a powerful Hegemony as he tried to pull the strings of destiny and change an apparently abysmal future! Chapter 195 - An Irrefutable Offer! I Among the many possibilities and paths Noah could take to try to take and change his destiny. He chose one that didn''t necessarily need his brute force, and it was also one that provided the fastest possibility of advancement! Ity with using the boundless information he had inherited, his stupendous abilities¡­and having something that other people desperately wanted. This was why he used the Authority of the Dominator to take over the body of a Subjugated Elder and appear before the Hegemony of Love! "You¡­!" BOOOM! Boundless waves of power erupted from Love the moment Noah''s words finished, droves of essence wrapping around Noah tightly on all sides. The Hegemony moved fast as she didn''t wait to hear another word, making sure that Noah couldn''t escape as she also caused the space around them to be destabilized and filled with spatial storms! Noah''s eyes were impassive at this action as he silently watched, only speaking after s few seconds had passed and the Hegemony wasing towards him carefully. "You''ve seen me escape before under the spatial Lock of 5 Hegemonies, why exactly do you think yours would be any different?" RUMBLE! His impassive tone of voice caused the Hegemony''s eyes to turn sharp as she continued forward slowly, Noah''s voice continuing to ring out. "I can also let you know that this isn''t my real body. Just a Puppet that I can utilize and leave at any time I wish. But...there is a reason I came here today, and it is something that would be very beneficial to a Hegemony like you." With arcs of blue light beginning to emanate from his eyes, Noah spoke slowly as the Hegemony of Love came right before him and ced her hand on his shoulders, as if she would even lock him in ce with her own hands if she wanted to! Her dark hair shimmered in the destabilized space as she looked towards Noah with a light of interest and spoke out slowly. "Oh, and what would someone like me be interested in?" A mocking tone of question that seemed to say a being like Noah wouldn''t know anything of what a Hegemony wanted, but Noah was always one to surprise as he replied to her calmly. "Antiquity." BOOM! As if a strike of thunder had rained down, the glimmering eyes of Love opened with shock as her hand locked onto Noah even deeply, the single word he spoke shaking her core as she couldn''t believe it! ANTIQUITY! It was a stage that all Hegemonies like her chased on the Chaotic Universe- something that none of them had been able to achieve in thest hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. A stage of power above Hegemony that Noah knew all too well from the memories and inheritance of the Great Usurper- as this being was in the upper stages on this level! "What...what do you know about Antiquity?!" The Hegemony of Love regained herself as she spoke out with a sonorous voice. "The Legacy of the Usurper is vast, showing me of hidden dimensions and Universes that hold a great deal of Treasures...with some even being capable of advancing a Hegemony to the level of an Antiquity." ¡­! Noah replied while looking into the eyes of the Hegemony coldly, his voice continuing to lull out. "If I wished...I could provide you with something to elevate your level to Antiquity, but it woulde at a cost." WAA! Noah slowlyid out his cards as his mind churned with possibilities, delving into things he thought he would be doing weeks or months from now! The small portion of the Legacy that he had received gave him a great deal of information- not just on the hidden Dimension that held theplete Legacy, but also the knowledge of other Dimensions that the Great Usurper had traversed and left behind certain things. Noah himself could not even dare to delve into these Dimensions at this moment as they were filled with dangers that only someone at the level of a Hegemony could survive! Meanwhile he...was still in the GALAXY Realm as he hadn''t even been given the title of a Great Sage, Monarch, Paragon, or Hegemony that stood above them all. He needed to achieve Gctic Fment to slowly umte the titles of Great Sage, Monarch, and Paragon- and he had to go from a Gctic Fment and form a Universe within his Origin to gain the title of a Hegemony! After this. One had to go from a single Universe and start forming multiple Universes, stepping into the Universal Fment Realm as beings on this stage...were those called Antiquities. A stage that all sought, but very few reached! This was what Noah was putting forward onto the te of a Hegemony at this very moment. "The¡­legacy of the Great Usurper is that vast?" The Hegemony of Love still looked towards Noah in disbelief, her mind buzzing with possibilities as she was handed a possible pie that had everything she ever wanted. "Oh did the Hegemony of Gold not tell you? Did you not think he was withholding some information on just why he is risking everything to search for me?" His words dug to the heart of Love''s suspicious, Noah utilizing his vast droves of knowledge about the Chaotic Universe and the talk of the Elders and powerhouses of the Golden Destiny Conve that knew of the movements of the Hegemonies around the Empyrean and Celestial nes! There were 5 Hegemonies present when Noah came out of the Legacy Dao Rift, the one he had escaped from the hands of being the Hegemony of Gold- and the being that was turning entire realms upside down to try and find him. This meant this being had more of an idea of just how valuable the treasures of the Great Usurper were, and he didn''t bother to share this with the other 5 Hegemonies working with him! Noah wanted to use this as he offered something a Hegemony couldn''t deny¡­in exchange for a price that would be very high for them to pay. The mind of a Hegemony that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years if not millions was sharp, Love looking towards him as her gaze became utterly cold. "What do you want?" Her gaze turned cold because she didn''t like the position she was in, feeling like she was ying into someone''s hand¡­but she couldn''t bring herself not to y as what was on the line was too stupendous! At such a juncture, Noah began to smile brightly, this smile seeming extremely chilling to the Hegemony before him! Chapter 196 - An Irrefutable Offer! II What did he want? It was a straightforward question that could have a myriad of answers, but Noah didn''t reply to the Hegemony as he posed another question first. "It is not about what I want, but what a Hegemony like you would be willing to do to get her hands on Antiquity. How far would you go for such a thing¡­if it even required you to betray those you are working with right now?" ¡­! "I also have to ask what you think others like you would do if I bought this same offer to them, would they take it, or would they say no to Antiquity for some sentimental reasons?" While essence bound him throughout, Noah continued to release piercing words as the Hegemony before him mped her hands down onto his shoulder even tighter. Their faces were merely a few inches away from each other, and Noah could see the glimmer within her dark hair flowing down gently, her eyes that held hints of red within their darkness making this Hegemony extremely prominent as her tight-fitting ck dress shone in the light of the destabilized space they were in. What would other Hegemonies do if Noah went to them with this offer? Love didn''t even need to ask herself this question as she already knew the answer. Existences like them that strived so much for this goal would take this offer¡­no matter what it required of them to do so! Isn''t that what she and all the others were doing right now? She was working with the Hegemony of Gold not because she wanted to, but for the possible rewards from the legacy of the Usurper that would help her increase her strength and shed light on the path forward. The other three Hegemonies working closely with them had the same goals, where it wasn''t out of friendship or goodwill that they worked together, but for mutual benefits! Everything¡­was for their own benefit! Love knew this clearly as she sighed deeply in her heart, steeling her resolve as she looked at the existence she held within her hands. He felt like a dangerous time bomb more than anything, giving her a sense of danger that she didn''t get when she locked gazes with other Hegemonies. Her tight hold on him lifted as she waved her hands and dispelled the terrifying spatial storms around them that destabilized space, her gaze impassive as she asked again, this time with conviction. "What do you want?" WAA! Noah craned his neck as he smiled brightly and replied. "A partnership. I get your help in certain things, and at the end of it all¡­I assure you Antiquity." "Really?" Love replied with a sneer as she continued. "You''d be so kind and I would be so willing to do what you ask just for a promise of words? How gracious of you." No trust was established between the two sides, and Noah knew this as his body emanated a unique essence, a peal of light escaping from his mind as it floated towards the figure of the Hegemony of Love. This ball of light represented a memory, something that Noah expertly dug out from his mind and was disying to another being in the outside world. "Among the many things that came with the portion of the Legacy I obtained, the Great Usurper left be the coordinates to deadly and savage dimensions where he came across unique things and hid even more powerful treasures. This one is of particr importance to Hegemonies that wish to ascend to Antiquity, providing an unsurpassable treasure that makes such a task easy. Tell me, what do you see?" Noah''s words slowly entered Love''s mind as her fingers touched the ball of light, a flood of information entering her mind as her eyes zed gloriously with a shocking light! She saw memories of a vast dimension filled with a terrifying Crimson essence that caused her heart to shake, this dimension filled with deadly storms and beasts that were releasing an aura of power no less than hers at the Universal Realm! There were an uncountable number of them swimming powerfully in the storms of the unique crimson essence that even Hegemonies like her feared, as it was an essence of a Cosmic Dao that was extremely destructive. This essence coveted nearly everything within this dimension as only a few portions were left untouched by its terror. But within this deadly dimension, the ball of knowledge that Noah gave her pulled her towards a certain location at the very center of this dimension where she could feel the beating of a¡­heart! THUMP! A genuine beating heart that shone with a myriad of colors, this heart giving off a unique feeling of a supreme treasure that caused even the Hegemony of Love to salivate just from its knowledge alone. "A heart¡­I see a heart!" She couldn''t help but unconsciously reply to Noah who nodded towards her, replied back calmly. "Yes. A supreme treasure in the form of a heart lying within this Dimension that is filled with the Cosmic Dao Essence of a terrifying Dao that rips apart Hegemonies that cannot defend themselves against it in mere minutes if not less." As he spoke, Noah reminisced how shocked he was when he received the knowledge of Dimensions such as these from the Legacy of the Great Usurper, his voice continuing to ring out. "This treasure is more than enough to make an Antiquity¡­but I cannot utilize the skills of the Great Usurper to enter such a dangerous Dimension as my level is too low, and I wouldn''t survive in this ce for even a few seconds. That is where our partnership lies¡­I''ll need you to help me ascend through the realms of power quickly!" RUMBLE! Noah''s cards were revealed as the Hegemony of Love came out of her stupor, looking at Noah with careful eyes as she spoke out with hesitation. "I could help you achieve the Gctic Fment Realm in a few days, but helping achieve Hegemony will be extremely hard! Building a Universe from the billions of Gxies you have to form and then connect takes too long, with the fastest Hegemonies taking tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years to reach it!" She shook her head with frustration as she didn''t expect this ordeal to take so long, but her gaze caught Noah''s expression that was still smiling coldly, his voice lulling into her ears. "No. It will not be something that even takes weeks. I can raise my power to the Realm of a Hegemony in mere days if need be¡­depending on what you are willing to do." WAA! A domineering air erupted out as Noah said so, the Hegemony before him feeling a chilling light erupt from his eyes as her own eyes turned sharp! Chapter 197 - A Deadly Partnership! To be utilized as a tool by another existence¡­never in her wildest dreams would Love have thought such a thing could ur to her! But as she gazed at the cerulean eyes of the man before him, she calmed her emotions and epted the reality. She could not say no, even if her power was levels higher. Even if she could crush this being before her, whether this was his real body or not¡­she still would not do it! Because with himy the very clear and straight possibility of what she and all others sought with all their hearts! So she steeled her resolve after she heard his domineering words that he could his Realm of power in a matter of days depending on what she was willing to do. "Speak clearly about what you want¡­Little Usurper." Her demeanor and regality of a Hegemony were quickly reestablished as she spoke out calmly to the existence before her. "I can increase my power by absorbing that of others." The blue-eyed being begun to look like a devil as she spoke, his face filled with utter calmness and a smile at the same time as he continued. "All I will need from you is to bring me existences as the Gctic Fment Realm¡­I can absorb their power and achieve this realm, forging the Gxies required to be titled a Monarch and then a Paragon!" RUMBLE! Love''s expression didn''t falter as she heard this ridiculous detail, her voice only echoing out in return. "And then?" Yes. What came after he achieved Gctic Fment, how would he achieve Hegemony by stepping into the Universal Realm ?! Towards this, the ''Little Usurper''s'' eyes shed coldly as he gazed towards the nk space as if he could see something she couldn''t. "Afterwards¡­I will of course need to absorb the Realm of a Universal Hegemony. I''ve already devised a n as all we need is a target. How does the Hegemony of Gold who is most pressed to obtain the Legacy of the Usurper sound?" ¡­! A terrifying plot wasid out as the eyes of Love constricted greatly! "You want to target Gold? A Hegemony that hasprehended multiple Cosmic Daos and is the leading figure for one of the factions in the Celestial ne?" His words seemed utterly ridiculous, but Love only received a headshake as he replied lightly. "Whether it''s him or someone else doesn''t matter. So long as they are a Universal Hegemony and can be manipted due to their greed for the Legacy of the Great Usurper, they will do. So, what will it be?" "..." All cards wereid bare, all nsid out! Now it remained how everything would be aplished as for this¡­the Hegemony of Love let out a harrumph while she waved her hands before Noah, causing the appearance of glimmering crystals the size of his head to appear. These crystals shone with an incandescent light as they actually held the light of multiple gxies within them, being Realm Cores that Noah had yet toe across yet! There were tens of thousands of them floating beautifully before Noah as they went on to cover the whole space they were in! Love''s voice came out coldly. "These Gctic Fment Cores should allow you to expand your gxy until a second one can bud from it and have you achieve the Gctic Fment. You won''t need to kill anyone to achieve this. I''ll empty out the rest of my treasures and hand you everything I''ve been saving after I return to the Celestial ne." WAA! Her words were domineering as they let off the majestic aura of a Hegemony, the Little Usurper smiling brightly as he swiped his hand and caused the disappearance of the myriad of Gctic Fment Crystals before him! Love only watched this scene as her voice continued to echo out. "Anything else?" "Well¡­" The Little Usurper craned his neck as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, his voice continuing. "I also need you to take me through a few of the Gxy Rank and Gctic Fment Rank Dao Dimensional Rifts in this ne or the Celestial ne. Or even Universal Realm Dimensional Rifts if that''s possible. I also want to expand my horizons, you know." ¡­! Another requirement wasid out bluntly as Love didn''t even bother to understand the reason behind it, only nodding her head as her glimmering dark hair fluttered in the wind. ¡ª The space around them changed as Noah began to release the Mind Realm and Absolute Mental Istion Field, actually aplishing so much as he got his hands on a myriad of Gctic Fment Crystals as well as the partnership with a Hegemony to aplish a great deal of things! For the sake of changing his supposedly abysmal destiny, he had to take such rapid moves that would elevate the strength of his realm and pace of adding Dimensional Rifts into Idle Mode greatly. If he had stuck to his old nned path, he would have slowly subjugated the powerful existences of this Golden Destiny Conve and they proceeded to do the same with the other Conves, slowly moving under the noses of Dimensional Hegemonies as he collected the Dimensional Rifts. But with this new drastic method¡­he would have a Hegemony power leveling him through the Realms of power and even through the Dao Dimensional Rifts he would add to Idle Mode, with his aim being the Grand and Cosmis Dao Rifts in the Celestial ne that he would have had to spend a long time to even be capable of nearing! He had aplished so many things with just a single move, his blue eyes shining brightly as when he looked above him at his destiny once more¡­he still saw a dark cloud with only a few more golden rays of lighting in. Even this¡­was only enough to add a few rays of light as darkness still prevailed. But Noah''s heart was calm as he would continue. Since it was working¡­ he would persevere! His gaze was sharp as he nced at the curvaceous figure of the Hegemony of Love while the Mind Realm faded around them. "I''ll elevate my Realm and get ready. I should be back here within the day¡­all upon this Elder if you need anything." With these words, Noah deactivated the [Authority of the Dominator] as he disappeared from the mind and body of the Subjugated Elder, the Hegemony of Love watching with shining eyes as the blue light faded in the eyes of the elder, a consciousness returning that looked towards her and bowed courteously before this being walked to stand silently in a corner of themand room! The methods of this being that had obtained the Legacy of the Usurper caused Love to sigh deeply inside, her figure also disappearing as she moved to prepare herself and retrieve her treasures within the Celestial ne¡­ Chapter 198 - I Forge Galaxies! I In the Destined Realm. Noah was situated in a meditative position as he finished absorbing yet another Gctic Fment Core. The air around him was extremely unique as when one looked at the illusory manifestation of his origin on his chest¡­they would be shocked to find that it wasn''t just a single Gxy! Far from it, one could see the beautiful sight of 10 Gxies swirling around each other gloriously, the realm of Gxy having been breached as Noah stepped into the Gctic Fment Realm after he used most of the Gctic Fment Cores that the Hegemony of Love had given to him. Gctic Fment! A Realm that Noah expected to reach in a few days after he put in an extreme amount of hard work going through the [Abyssal Expedition] or [Infinite Crucible], but he achieved it in less than a day when he did things differently and schemed. "Hooo¡­" He breathed out slowly as he felt the stupendous stability of his current Realm, his eyes turning to the figure of Annalise not too far away from him in this secret above of a past Elder of the Golden Destiny Conve that they upied. Her red hair was waving beautifully as frosty elements swirled around her figure, the image of a powerful illusory gxy being seen on her as his little sister managed to advance forward and step into the Realm of Gxy after she absorbed the high rank cores he granted her. He gave a light smile when he looked at this girl stabilizing her realm, thinking of the future as he was actually unsure what to do with this only family member he had in this Universe he transmigrated in! Based on his destiny, his future was uncertain as he didn''t want it to affect this girl that had already gone through a great deal of pain! But looking at her now as she even wanted to be with him while he moved in the Empyrean ne, he instinctively knew the girl would stick with him no matter what in the future. This was a familial bond that could not be broken, no matter what. For his own sake and for her sake¡­he wanted to make sure he seeded in his ns no matter what! A destiny filled with darkness? He would change it! He had already begun as apart from everyone else, he was climbing the realms of power in mere days as it felt like the ultimate realm of the most powerful beings within the Chaotic Universe, the Universal Realm¡­was not too far from him! Even though it didn''t feel too far away, it was actually a vast gulf that he would have needed weeks if not months to cross on his own if he hadn''t taken the dangerous step to work with an enemy Hegemony. This was because in this Gctic Fment Realm alone, its stage was so vast that you found existences with the titles of Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons in this same Realm! Those who just stepped within the Gctic Fment Realm and had assimted a few Daos were known as Great Sages. They were powerful beings that could be Great Elders and Leaders of Conves in the Empyrean ne. You then had Monarchs¡­these were beings that had begun to traverse the long stage of Gctic Fment as they had already forged over 50 billion Gxies in their Gctic Fment. Then there were Paragons who hadpleted this process and had forged 100 Billion Gxies- the prerequisite for anybody that wanted to possibly form a Universe in the future! When Noah looked at himself now, he only had 10 Gxies forged within his Gctic Fment¡­and this was why he expected the process of ascending this realm to take him weeks if not months. The number of Gctic Fment Cores one required were just too many, this number being in the billions itself as it was the reason why there were so few Hegemonies in the Chaotic Universe. Even with the Dao and Law Dimensional Rifts that granted Cores, Law, and Dao Crystals song other treasures, umting billions of cores at the Gctic Fment level was much too hard as those who could even construct all 100 Billion required Gxies were too few! But with the help of the Hegemony of Love¡­Noah nned to shorten this long and arduous process into nothing. His eyes shed with powerful light as he waited for her return with even more loot, enjoying the feeling of being carried and power leveled by someone more powerful as his strength had grown another notch! For this, he turned his head into his Idle Gaming Interface as he first collected the myriad of Loot from the vast number of Rifts in Idle Mode, his eyes ncing over the Dao Crystals and other forms of loot as he nodded passively when then turning his eyes into his Status Panel. There, he could see his three listed Inherent Skills that now an additional skill for each of them after his advancement to the Gctic Fment Realm! ||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], [Remote Control], [Dominator''s Consciousness],? [Evolve|Devolve], [Spatial Puppet Master], [Mind Guider], [Hive Mind], [Authority of the Dominator], [Ruler''s Guider], [Absolute Mental Istion Field],? [Collective Mind], and [Gctic Dominator] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[The Emperor''s Universe]... ||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], [Telekic Energy Emission],[Field Master], [Ruler''s Emenation], [Telekic Constructs], [Precognition], [Armament], [sma Generation], [Absolute Protection], [Mind Realm], [Illusory Will of the Emperor], and [Blood Maniption] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks- [Vector Maniption]... ||Ancient Mind|| :: An inherent skill that grants the identity of an Ancient Existence to the user, as they gain the abilities to peer across veils and even dimensions when one grows to a sufficient level. The abilities [Exceptional Mentality], [Feed on Fear], [Ancient Eye of Terror],[Consciousness of the Mighty], [Spatial Destabilizer], [Soul Devour], [Ancient Mind Form],? [Terror of the Ancient], [Heresy], [Terror of the Stars], [Mind Over Matter], [Soul Storage], and [Gctic Consciousness] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will be usable as the User rises through ranks-[Universal Terror]... A myriad set of abilities were added, with one of the more wondrous additions being [Gctic Dominator] from the Mind Dominator skill tree. This ability¡­allowed Noah to ce his Subjugated Blessed within the vast Gxies within his Origin, these Blessed being capable of seeing and affecting the outside world as they could cast their own skills and throw out attacks from within Noah''s body! So even though Noah would be walking around alone, if he filled his gxies with many Subjugated Blessed¡­it was akin to him being a one-man army that moved with millions or billions all by himself. And this¡­was just one of the skill additions when he stepped into the Gctic Fment Realm! Chapter 199 - I Forge Galaxies! II After [Gctic Dominator], there was the ability of [Blood Maniption] from the Telekic Emperor skill tree, the previous three abilities within this tree already being mentioned before. But Blood Maniption was simply that¡­Noah gaining the ability to even manipte the blood of others as he could control their bodies expertly! When it came to existence a realm higher than him¡­Noah even expected to be able to control them for a few seconds before they broke out. Then there were the four abilities under the Ancient Mind Skill Tree. [Gctic Consciousness] and [Mind Over Matter] were both passive skills, the first one granting Noah +100,000% Enhancement to his soul strength as theter granted both +50,000%enhancement to his Physical Attributes and Mental Attributes! The skills went further and further to elevate Noah''s mental strength, but now they were also forging the strength of his body. Thest two abilities were even more stupendous ones, with [Soul Storage] allowing Noah not just to devour souls, but to store however many souls he wished as he could use them in the future to replenish his mental strength and even heal his body. If he held billions upon billions of souls in storage¡­he could replenish himself forever as he wouldn''t be able to fall against any enemy! Lastly, there was [Terror of the Stars]. An offensive ability of ridiculous proportions as it also ate up too much mana, this ability allowing Noah to call upon hundreds of miniaturized unstable stars filled with the Daos and Laws heprehended. So his one and only Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity he obtained from the Legacy of the Usurper¡­would be disyed in a myriad of unstable miniaturized stars that rained down along with ones filled with the Daos of Destruction, Destiny, Incandescence¡­ It was a deadlybination of skills as he was bing covered both offensively and defensively, his might being something fantastical to disy when he ever stepped on the stage against the powerful existences moving across the nes of the Chaotic Universe. "Hoo¡­" He let out a light breath as he finished ncing at his Status Panel and collection the loot from Idle Mode, the myriad of Cores, Laws, and Dao Crystals entering his Inventory being too many to count at this point. Far from this location though, the eyes of the Subjugated Blessed he had used to talk to the Hegemon of Love raised his head, noticing the aura of this Hegemony descending again as it seemed this existence had her things prepared. Noah nodded lightly as he nced towards Annalise who was still training, half of his consciousness divided as it went to sink into the mind of the Subjugated Blessed as he cast Authority of the Dominator. WAA! A burst of essenceter, and he opened his eyes to the curvaceous figure of a Hegemony that held the title of Love! Noah thoroughly nced at her figure as he shook his head, everything about this existence being drop dead gorgeous as her title wasn''t for show. Hegemony of Love! There was a meaning behind this that caused even the Universal Hegemonies in the Celestial ne to have many thoughts for this being, but even Noah was pushing such thoughts away right now. Under the threat of apparent death and an abysmal destiny, did he even have the luxury to y around with thoughts of women, locking his gaze with her as she only waved her hands to cause the appearance of more Gctic Fment Cores¡­along with Cores that were the size of an average human being! They were¡­ "This is all I''ve collected and not used in thest tens of thousands of years. Enough Gctic Fment Cores to allow you to forge dozens of billions of Gxies, as well as¡­two Universal Cores that should bring your total number of Gxies to over 60 Billion." RUMBLE! Universal Cores! Loot that only came from a Universal Dimensional Rift, and ones of utter rarity even in the Celestial ne as the Hegemonies there worked together to clear the very few Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts together under the threat of their lives! Noah had actually gotten his hands on such treasures due to his schemes, his eyes dazzling as they reflected the colors of the Universal Core before his eyes. It was asrge as him, and one could see billions of gxies swirling gorgeously within this small Universal Core, waves of essence emanating from it as it seemed too pristine a treasure for Noah to even touch right now. With such Cores in hand, Noah would bypass the 50 Billion Gxies mark and achieve the Monarch title right away, but even with such a ridiculous fast pace¡­he was still a few tens of billions Gxies off from achieving the full 100 Billion. He calmed his beating heart as when his eyes nced upwards, he could see more rays of golden light raining down on his dark and cloudy destiny, knowing he was heading in the right direction as he nodded his head and waved his hand to take everything that the Hegemony of Love had disyed out! Her gaze wasnguid as she looked at him closely, his voice reaching her ears soon after. "How does Hegemony wish to allow me to advance further if these are all the Cores currently avable?" His words were calm, but they held a terrifying meaning as they reminded her of what his first method was! Love knew this as her eyes squinted powerfully while she replied. "You said you can steal the Realm of others, yes? We can find a peak Gctic Fment Realm Blessed¡­a Paragon for you to absorb." ¡­! Love seemed to say these words with difficulty as she sighed, Noah smiling brightly as he nodded and spoke clearly. "Perfect. And the Dimensional Rifts?" The Dimensional Rifts! One of Noah''s requirements was to be taken to a myriad of Rifts, and he put this on the front line as he would rarely get a chance to be carried by an existence so far above him in power! Love''s eyes constricted on Noah as she sighed while replying. "Why would you like to go?" The sweetest words Noah could ever hear came out, his eyes shing powerfully as his aims wereid out. "There''s very few Gctic Fment Dimensional Rifts in the Empyrean ne, yes? We can tour the vast Celestial ne and enter its Dimensional Rifts." ....! Chapter 200 - The Dimensional Rifts Within The Celestial Plane! I The Dimensional Rifts of the Celestial ne! Stupendous locations filled with danger and opportunities, they were locations that only the most powerful existences in the Chaotic Universe had the chance to enter and enjoy. Most of the time, it was teams of Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons who would be entering and clearing Gctic Fment Dimensional Rifts, while only Universal Hegemonies had the chance and even dared to brave the Universal Dimensional Rifts! This was where one came across many Grand and Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rifts, each if them divided between three powers that controlled the Celestial ne. "Among the myriad of Dimensional Rifts in the Celestial ne, I can move with you through 53 at the Gctic Fment level, and 2 at the Cosmic Level." Love''s voice came out coldly as her essence wrapped around the Subjugated Elder that Noah was currently using the Authority of the Dominator on. Such words caused Noah''s heart to tremble as the boons he was receiving after hatching a deal with this Hegemony were truly too many, but he couldn''t help as he had to ask a single question! "Can you clear a Universal Rank Dimensional Rift by yourself?" ¡­! Yes! The main question was whether the Hegemony of Love had such power, and she shook her head little by little as their two figures crossed the folds of space of the Empyrean ne. "To clear a Universal Rank Rift, multiple Universal Hegemonies are needed. I''ll have to ask for aid from a few friends if I wish to clear them while you''re tagging along." With utter calm and coldness, Love replied as Noah took it all in while sighing. They had left the Destined Realm where the headquarters of the Golden Destiny Conve was situated, leaving behind Annalise and Noah''s body here as he and the Hegemony were crossing through the folds of space of this ne to enter the one above them! To get into the Celestial ne, someone at the level of a Sage and above would normally go through the Golden Stairway of Ascension that was situated at the center of the ne, being able to step into the Celestial ne in this manner. But when you were a Dimensional Hegemony that had established their very own Universe within their Origin...you could easily bypass the spatial storms between the barriers of nes of the same Universe! This was a power only afforded by Hegemonies, and it was one that Noah got a first hand look at this moment. The vibrant illusory universe within Love''s chest undted with power ever so slowly as it released a calming protective light over their bodies, Noah seeing the space around constantly changing as within minutes, he felt like they pierced a certain boundary as he knew¡­they had entered a different ne! WAA! The protective light of essence faded away as the scene around them became clear, Noah observing their surroundings as a few things popped up right away. One was just how dense the atmospheric essence within this ne was, with Noah seeing wisps of coagted colorful essence in the surroundings floating gently. The second thing was just how serene and stable everything seemed, giving one the thought that it was something that would never break for the years toe! When his eyes gazed far away from them, he could see glittering stars that littered the starry space, as well as enormous golden doorways that represented entrances to Realms or even pulsating portals that would lead to Rifts. This ster array of stars, portals, and Realm gateways surrounded by colorful wisps of essence all around¡­was the Celestial ne. "We''re in the region that falls under the influence of the Ster Expanse that the Hegemony of Gold leads." Love began to speak as she continued to pull their two figures along, Noah seeing the bright stars and portals around them turn into mirages of lights as they tore forward at high speeds. "The first Dimensional Rift that is near here is the Vast Gxies Grand Dao Dimensional Rift, and we''ll start with that one. Let me know when you''ve sufficiently¡­expanded your horizons." She uttered the words Noah said to her when he told her he wanted to be taken to explore multiple rifts, this existence knowing that Noah had some sort of secret! All she could assume was that it was rted to the Great Usurper, and this was enough for her to continue on until she got what she wanted. They continued to pass by countless stars and portals in their surroundings as after a few minutes passed, their figures came to stop. Before them was a pulsating ck rift that expanded tens of thousands of miles, beingrger than anymon world as the aura it released was a shocking one to behold! Around this rift they materialized before, Noah could see enormous golden vessels and interster warships surrounding it, the auras of multiple powerful individuals in the titles of Great Sages, Monarchs, and Paragons being felt on these vessels as they briefly turned their gazes towards the Hegemony of Love and Noah. The moment they affirmed her identity, all of these gazes disappeared as Love continued to float towards the pulsing riftrger than any world slowly, their two figures sinking into it as Noah delved into his first Gctic Fment Dimensional Rift! A grand spatial movementter, Noah felt their environment entirely change as when everything cleared, he found that they were floating in space once more, the sight around them being a ster one as he could see far away from them¡­were Gxies. Gxies! Based on how he himself knew how they looked like, he saw a swirling cluster of ster bodies covering arge region, and there were three of these clusters as it represented 3 Gxies that they had to clear before this Rift could be added into Idle Mode! "It''s just three small Gxies, with the number of ster bodies within each one only being a few million. A much lesser version of any gxy, and extremely hard to clear if you don''t have the right level of power." Love''s face twinkled with light as she spoke, her body beginning to bubble with power as they stayed the millions of miles away that they were from the three gxies, her body beginning to undte with a powerful light as she continued to speak. "But if you have the right level of power, you won''t be going star to star to clear weak Beasts, and you can just wipe everything out as it you wish." RUMBLE! Dangerous and domineering words left her mouth as her eyes shone with dangerous power¡­a power that threatened to decimate entire gxies right before Noah''s eyes as he would get a Gctic Fment Rank Rift in Idle Mode with a clear time even faster than the lesser ranked ones he''d collected so far! Chapter 201 - The Dimensional Rifts Within The Celestial Plane! II The Hegemony of Love looked at the faraway Gxies that had droves of Beasts in the Billions, with powerful Rift Bosses at the Gctic Fments level that would normally give parties of Monarchs and Paragons trouble as they took days topletely eliminate them and clear Rifts like this. But she had the power of a Hegemony as she could do something that no existences in the Gctic Fment Realm could ever hope to aplish! THRUM! Her body began to emanate waves of a unique Dao. It wasn''t a Lesser or a Grand one, but it was a Cosmic Dao that she obtained from one of the few Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift that she could ess in the Celestial ne- Extinction. The pure and unadulterated essence of the Cosmic Dao of Extinction weaved within her body as her eyes took a crimson hue, her gaze turning back to the being before her onest time as she affirmed what he had told her on the way here. "You care not to see the Beasts or the Rift Bosses in this ce, and you only want to clear the Dimensional Rift at the fastest time possible?" These were the words that this being had said to her as they crossed the barriers between nes! Even though he said it was to ''expand his horizons'', his main requirement for the Dimensional Rifts he had to be taken through was that they should be cleared at the quickest time possible! Love had continued to wonder just what meaning the actions of this being had, the only thing she came up with being that he was marking the different pocket dimensions they were entering and that this action had something to do with the Legacy of the Great Usurper. She cared not as she would do such simple tasks if she could get her hands on Antiquity. ''Antiquity¡­'' The thought overtook all of her thoughts as she thought about the environment in the Chaotic Universe and the vast number of Universes that made up this Cosmos. Even in her own Universe, she faced oppression from the powerful old men that oversaw everything, many of them setting their sights on her because of the Dao she designed! The reason for her to be given the title of the Hegemony of Love...was because she birthed the artificial Lesser Dao of Love! When one achieves the Universal Realm and is capable enough, they can actually birth their own artificial Daos. Only geniuses that were in tune with Daos or held unique circumstances could do so, and Love was one of such beings as just over a few hundred thousand years into her Hegemony, she birthed this Lesser Dao. A Dao that allowed existences to cultivate through means of flesh- also something that was termed Dual Cultivation! As the Architect of this Dao, the boosts that Love obtained were stupendous as if anyone performed dual cultivation with her...the number of Gxies they could forge and even something extremely rare that Hegemonies need to achieve Antiquity- all of these could be obtained with rapid ease. This was why existences like the powerful Hegemony of Gold wished for her. Why he was bold enough to caress her cheek before as if they would ever reach that point! The powerhouses of the Celestial ne...only looked at her as a tool to be useful for their own means, even considering her some sort of a prize to win over and keep to themselves. Love hated this. She wanted to bypass everything before her and obtain Antiquity before any of the old fogeys did so, and then she would see whether they would dare look at her as simply something to y with again! Her expression was filled with aplex expression as the Little Usurper''s answer came beside her. "No, you can destroy everything at the fastest time if you wish. The faster the better!" She didn''t fully understand this being''s intricacies, but it didn''t matter to her as long as she could achieve Antiquity. She had alreadye this far anyways. THRUM! Her eyes began to shine with a glorious crimson light as her body became suffused with the essence of a Cosmic Dao, her hands flung out wildly as from them, crimson beams of curved light erupted out in waves! SHAA! SHAA! They looked like deadly crescent waves that thundered forward, erging from a few thousand miles to a few million miles in size in an instant! When they neared the Gxies, the deadly waves of Extinction had already reached the distance in terms of light years as they smashed into the three Gxies. BOOM! BOOM! The eyes of Love shed with a cold light as she watched the scene of the barriers of the Gxies torn under her Light of Extinction, the countless ster bodies within these Gxies also being wiped out of existence as more and more of the deadly crescent waves thundered down! Beside her, even the Little Usurper had an expression of shock as he saw three Gxies bing quite literally wiped out with a single move from this Universal Hegemony. She was a being that forged a Universe that held 100 Billion Gxies...she could destroy a mere 3 Gxies with ease! As more and more waves of Extinction rained down, the beautifully formed Gxies were sundered and ripped apart as when Love''s hands stopped sending them forth, there were no glimmering lights of ster bodies anymore. "..." Everything was wiped out. Less than a minute had passed as without Love''s knowledge, the Little Usurper beside her received a prompt at this time! [Vast Gxies Grand Dao Dimensional Rift has been added to Idle Mode.] The Vast Gxies Grand Dao Dimensional Rift was within his grasp as it represented a Gctic Fment Rift that was cleared in under a minute. That was an unknown number of Gctic Fment Cores every single minute, on top of the Grand Dao Crystals of the Dao that was in the name of this Rift- the Grand Dao of Vastness! Noah would gain loot for it over 60 times every hour as in a single day¡­ "Damn¡­" His heart beat even faster when he thought about it and all the possibilities. This wasn''t all. There was also the fact that the Hegemony of Love could bring him to multiple more of these Rifts as if she did the same thing¡­ THUMP! It was bound to be something ridiculous as Noah couldn''t help but lock his gaze into the dazzling being that would hand him the most overpowered clear times of high level Rifts that he could have never imagined! Chapter 202 - A Ridiculous Rate Of Loot Collection! I Within the Vast Gxies Grand Dao Dimensional Rift. All that could be seen from afar was shattered Gxies, Love waving her hands towards the direction of destruction as glimmering loot came towards their direction. Noah''s eyes lit up as he saw tens of thousands of Gctic Fment Cores on top of glimmering skill books and equipment. Yet to the Hegemony, they seemed like nothing as she waved her hands to have all this loot surround Noah! BZZZT! Her eyes then looked towards the glimmering Runic Circle that had formed a few miles away from them, signifying the gateway for them to leave this cleared Dimensional Rift. "That''s a single Gctic Fment Rift done, we can go through all of them today if we wish and get this over with." Her voice came out calmly as her gaze kicked onto Noah who was taking in all of the loot with a smile. "I have noints! The faster you can clear these Rifts when we enter them, the better for me to expand my horizons!" Noah replied with a light smile as his gaze couldn''t help but turn towards his Idle Gaming System Interface. There, he could really see the highest added Gctic Fment Rift, and it already had just 30 seconds remaining before it could be cleared! This was a Gctic Fment Rift mind you! Noah could feel his Origin buzzing when he realized the significance of it, Love not waiting for him to get out of his stupor as her essence wrapped around him again and took them out of the Dimensional Rift. Their figures came out of the Vast Gxies Grand Dao Dimensional Rift as the myriad of powerful Vessels floating around seemingly paid no heed, Love and Noah''s figures turning into streaks of light as they went towards another direction. One Rift was cleared, and the Hegemony of Love was going on to the next! As for Noah, he was staring intently at his Idle Gaming Interface, waiting for the seconds to go down on a certain Rift as the moment they did...he clicked on the golden glimmering light. WAA! A ster array of loot was disyed before his eyes. [+100 Idle Exp], [+325 Grand Dao Crystals Of Vastness],[+50,000 Gctic Fment Cores], [+55 Random Gctic Fment Dao Unit Shards], [+25,295 Gctic Fment Rank Equipment], [+349 Gctic Fment Skill Books], [+239 Dao Essence Revitalization Potions], [+500 Mana and Health Potions]... "Holy shit¡­" Noah couldn''t help but utter as Love turned towards him, but his attention was still on his collected loot for just a single minute passing! Out of every shocking thing he could see, the fact that he gained 55 Unit Shards for a Gctic Fment Dao Unit in a minute meant that after another, he could Summon a random Unit at this level! He currently didn''t even have any Unit at such a level, and yet he could now obtain 1 every two minutes. "..." In less than half an hour, he could have a whole stacked team of Gctic Fment Dao Units! What a ridiculous possibility! What a wondrous reality! This was even more ridiculous when one looked at the 325 Grand Dao Crystals of Vastness he would receive every minute, making him capable of fully assimting this Dao as he would be given 10,000 Crystals in less than 40 minutes. In under an hour, he could also fully assimte a Grand Dao! WAA! And this was also applicable to any future Gctic Fment Grand and Lesser Dao Rifts that Noah would enter- with him bing capable of fully assimting their Daos I''m mere hours. What a wondrous Idle Gaming System he had! Only now did hee out of his stupor as he shook his head,ing out of his reverie to find out that they were already standing before another pulsing Dimensional Rift that covered everything around them, the auras of multiple Monarchs and Paragons guarding it being seen all around along with spectacr interster vessels floating around. The Hegemony of Love seemed to have a unique identity as she wasn''t even questioned when she appeared, their figures quickly delving into it without so much as waiting for a second! "This is the Incandescent Gxies Dao Dimensional Rift, tough for those in the Gctic Fment Realm but of course under Hegemonies¡­" Her eyes shimmered with the Cosmic light of the essence of Extinction as they locked on to 5 Gxies that were within this Rift, Noah barely being able toy his eyes on them before the Hegemony began to shower them with deadly lights of Extinction. "I hope this action actually has an aim to it all and we''re not doing it for nothing." Between the ster attacks capable of destroying Gxies, Love spoke out as Noah could only smile brightly. It wasn''t all for nothing. After all, he would be gaining Gctic Fment Rift with unbelievable clear times as the rewards would be assimted Daos by the dozen and countless Cores for the long term! --- In the Empyrean ne. The Hegemony of Gold had an impassive expression as he received news about the movements of the Hegemony of Love, finding out that she was currently moving from one Dimensional Rift to another with an Elder from the Golden Destiny Conve she was overseeing in tow! "Hmph." Gold''s expression was filled with disdain and cruelty as he spoke out coldly. "You won''t bend under my will for the both of us to benefit, but you will instead frolic with a mere Elder at the Gctic Fment Realm? Pathetic!" RUMBLE! Waves of power emanated out from the sheer pressure he released, his gaze frosty as he turned his attention elsewhere. "I''ve scoured the entirety of the Empyrean ne and most of the Sublunary ne...the only way that vile little creature is escaping from my grasp is if a Conve working under my direction is hiding him...or he has escaped in another Dimension entirely!" His strong mind worked at high speeds as the essence of the Dao of Destiny swam within his eyes, his head shaking strongly as he continued to speak. "With his current power, he shouldn''t be able to leave this Universe, let alone traverse Dimensions. I''ll just have to expand my search efforts!" WAA! His eyes shone with glorious power as he affirmed his beliefs. He would get his hands on the Legacy of the Great Usurper....no matter what! Chapter 203 - A Ridiculous Rate Of Loot Collection! II One Gctic Fment Rank Dimensional Rift after another¡­Noah was taken through them under the lead of the Hegemony of Love. Each one took a range of one minute, and all of this just consisted of them entering the Dimensional Rift, Love locating the myriad of Gxies that ranged from three to even more than a dozen as she then released deadly waves of the essence of Extinction to decimate such gxies! After the 24 Gctic Dimensional Rift, Love remained with Noah in the cleared Rift before leaving as she sat down in a meditative position to recover her power. "I''ve reached the base amount of mana I cannot allow myself to fall under. I''ll be recovering before we continue on with the rest." The Hegemony spoke simply as Noah nodded, his eyes currently still locked on to the ridiculous sight of the Idle Gaming System Interface with 24 Gctic Fment Rifts added, each of them having lower clearing time averages than even Iron Rank Rifts that he first farmed in the Ethereal Realm! The amount of loot they were currently churning was just unbelievable, with Noah going ahead and selecting to collect loot for all them, even the ones he hadn''t collected from for the past hour. [+144,000 Idle Exp], [+40,500 Grand Dao Crystals Of Vastness], [+19,500 Grand Dao Crystals Of Destruction], [+40,500 Grand Dao Crystals Of Destiny], [+40,500 Grand Dao Crystals Of Devouring], [+19,500 Grand Dao Crystals Of Incandescence]... [+72,000,000 Gctic Fment Cores], [+79,200 Random Gctic Fment Dao Unit Shards], [+36,424,800 Gctic Fment Rank Equipment], [+505,560 Gctic Fment Skill Books], [+344,160 Dao Essence Revitalization Potions], [+720,000 Mana and Health Potions]... "..." An unbelievable sight was disyed! Just the past hour for 24 Gctic Fment Rank Dimensional Rift, Noah had pulled more than 72 million Gctic Fment Cores and close to 20,000 of Grand Dao Crystals of a myriad of Grand Daos! This was enough for him to fully assimte a Dao, and he could even give these to others for them to enjoy as well. And this¡­was exactly what he was currently doing! Even though he was using the Authority of the Dominator to upy the body of the Subjugated Elder, his strong consciousness could have his body moving freely in the Destined Realm where he was staying with Annalise. Of course, his main body essed the inventory and took out the droves of Gctic Fment Cores and Grand Dao Crystals, beginning to absorb them right away as he also handed a portion to Annalise that could only look towards him in shock. But this shock would only grow bigger in the days toe as ridiculously, even the number of 72 million Gctic Fment cores was a minor one as it was just an hour of collecting the loot rewards in Idle Mode. If Noah waited 24 hours and merely still had these 24 Gctic Fment Rifts, this number of 72 million would be 1.7 Billion Cores after just a day! But¡­more Rifts would soon be added. An even more array of Grand Daos would alsond on Noah''sp. Even though the past 24 Rifts had some that held repeating Daos, Noah had in total obtained enough Grand Dao Crystals to fully assimte 11 Grand Daos! This was why when he collected the loot, some of the Grand Dao Crystals were numbered close to 20,000 while the others had towered over 40,000. The math and shere fantasy of it caused Noah to think of the grand future he always imagined where he would be idle as droves of treasures rushed to him¡­and he was feeling this first hand right now. As he looked over at the figure of the Hegemony of Love that was still recovering before they continued, he found himself impatient as he waved his hands to cause Mana and Health Potions to appear, as well as the Dao Essence Revitalization Potions that he had began to receive from the Gctic Fment Rifts! "Drink these to help you recover. They''re things that I made myself¡­capable of regenerating essence, mana, and health rapidly." ¡­! Noah spoek out with bright eyes as he presented the Potions forward, waiting this existence that was carrying him across multiple Rifts to continue doing so quickly as she raised her browse at him and caught the potion. As a powerful Universal Hegemony, she wasn''t fearful of anything a lower ranked being could give her, but she still gave a careful look into the potions he gave her as only after affirming multiple times with her own fate and destiny, she downed the portions with a snort as she didn''t truly expect anything from them! After all, how could the Dao Essence and Mana of a Universal Hegemony be recovered that easily? But the moment that she drank the potions¡­ THRUM! Her body began to buzz with waves of essence as with stupor, she turned to her Origin to find it rapidly bing filled back up, her tens of billions of gxies lighting up powerfully as aside from this, the Dao Essence of Extinction that she had been freely using was bing filled to the brim! She couldn''t help but turn towards Noah in shock as never in her wildest dreams did she think his words would be true! As loot that only Noah was able to obtain from Idle Mode, how could they be any less than overpower? Even this Hegemony had seen nothing like them before as towards her shock, Noah only gave a light smile as he spoke out. "Now we can continue..?" ¡­! "You¡­" Love had no words as she stared at Noah, finding this being she was calling Little Usurper to be slowly bing more unfathomable. He might not consider the potions he handed her much, but anything that could instantly recover the health and mana of a Universal Hegemony was a supreme treasure! Anything that could affect the recovery of Dao Essence¡­was an even more ridiculous treasure. In a prolonged battle or a battle to the death, having such tools would effectively mean one woulde out on top over their enemy as the more the battle went and the more exhausted their enemy was¡­they remained the same as they could recover whenever they wished. Such a treasure¡­even Love wanted more of it as seeing how freely Noah had given it, her eyes turned into careful slits as she spoke out lightly. "Let me have more of those potions¡­then we can head out." Her words were sonorous as she tried to get her hands on more of the items she considered stupendous treasures, and Noah smiled deep inside as he had expected such a reaction from anyone utilizing the potions that came as loot from Idle Mode. He had¡­Millions of such potions as he didn''t express this, his face actually seen bing difficult as he sighed before waving his hands and causing the appearance of 1000 Health and Mana Potions, as well ad Dao Revitalization Essence Potions that caused the eyes of Love to nearly bulge out! Noah yed one of his cards that he could utilize to ensnare even Hegemonies at this moment, his eyes glimmering brightly with a hidden light as he had designs even for this Hegemony of Love! Chapter 204 - Peak Galactic Filament Rank! I In the Destined Realm. In a secluded abode where an Elder of the Golden Destiny Conve was living in before, the figure of Noah could be seen crazily Devouring the Gctic Fment Cores he had received from Love and those he was obtaining as loot from Idle Mode of all the newly added Rifts! Annalise was also situated in a meditative position as she had mountains of cores around her, icy frost building up as her essence became more and more potent. But the small storm she was causing around her was nothing like what was happening around Noah, an array of colors surrounding his body as he absorbed everything around him crazily. His rate of absorption caused a storm to stretch out in the surroundings as he wasn''t just absorbing these Cores, his left hand continuously absorbing Grand Dao Crystals that also came as loot from Idle Mode. The unique and ridiculous thing to keep in mind was that as seconds passed, his absorption of the Cores and Dao Crystals was causing the rapid formation of Gxies within his Origin as he also shot through the percentage of Comprehension and Assimtion of the Grand Dao. Even though he just stepped into the Gctic Fment Realm, he had already gone past 30 Billion Gxies as he was absorbing them while Love was carrying him across the different locations within the Celestial ne that held Gctic Fment Rifts! But more than this, he was currently adding Grand Daos after Grand Daos to his roster as if it was nothing. The Grand Dao Crystals he was receiving were enough to assimte multiple Grand Daos, and he did just that as Annalise watched in a stupor not too far away from him! She was filled with disbelief as she couldn''t help but utter out when she saw this terrifying scene before her eyes. "Brother...just how do you keep on doing all this?" She really couldn''t help but have her curiosity peaked as she continued to see too many shocking things around Noah, with some that couldn''t even be exined like this! Every time that she thought she was catching up to him as they would be on the same level of strength again, she only saw him climbing multiple levels higher as she yed catch up once more. So she just wanted to know how her older brother was doing all this! Noah felt Annalise''s words flow in as his eyes opened brightly, the blue luster within shining powerfully as he gazed at his little sister. While he didn''t keep it a secret what his Idle Gaming System could give him, he didn''t go into specifics as even Annalise and Rose didn''t fully understand it. But as he saw the quizzical look on his family member, he couldn''t help but smile as while he still absorbed Cores and Dao Crystals, his voice echoed out. "It''s...something unique only to me that allows me to amass a crazy amount of loot like this after I clear a Dimensional Rift¡­" His eyes shone with a cerulean light as he spoke slowly while his body still undted with a multicolored light from absorbing all the loot! "With me tying a Dimensional Hegemony to myself right now under the promise of her achieving a higher stage, I''m able to clear high level Rifts quickly as the rewards for this are even more fantastic." He looked towards Annalise as droves of loot simr to this were already clustered around her, Noah already sharing to make his little sister stronger as she still looked at him while marveling. Her crimson hair shone with its own unique hue as she shook her head while grabbing the loot around her. "Extra loot from cleared Rifts...ah" Even though she didn''t get to know the full mechanism of heat her brother did exactly, she was happy that he at least told her as after all this, she put it out of her mind and also focused on absorbing the loot around her! Strength! Only with strength could she protect those she loves¡­ With such thoughts resounding in her mind, her body buzzed with a white frosty re as her essence continued to surge once more. Noah nced at such a scene with a smile as it reminded him that he wasn''t just trying to change his destiny for himself, but also for the family before his eyes! He became even more firm as his eyes turned up to gaze above him, the essence of the Grand Dao of Destiny that he had now fully assimted reflecting in his eyes as he saw his destiny even more clearly. He could peer into its mysteries more as even at this moment while it was still a cloud of darkness with only a few rays of lighting down, its final state was still that of despair as he hadn''tpletely changed whatever would happen in the future. But after assimting the Dao of Destinypletely¡­he now at least knew when this despair woulde! 2 months from this current time, whatever event or enemy that he woulde across¡­this was where he would hit a wall that he apparently could not cross. An insurmountable wall that even someone like him with all the tools he had would stumble and not be able to ovee! He could hardly believe it now, but the essence of Destiny was undeniable. This was why even now, he continued to crazily elevate his realm higher and higher as he continued to search for a possibility. More than anything, it would most likely lie with the capabilities of the Usurper, where he had to achieve Universal Hegemony and be able to go between the boundaries of Universes and Dimensions to obtain the myriad of locations that the Usurper locked up stupendous things. After he obtained the remaining portion of the Legacy that contained the memories of why the Great Usurper truly fell, Noah felt like he would also know exactly what he was facing! WAA! So essence continued to undte from his body and the body of Annalise as they continued to absorb glimmering Cores and Dao Crystals, their hearts calm as they both worked towards the same goal. Chapter 205 - Peak Galactic Filament Rank! II Within a cleared Gctic Fment Dimensional Rift. Love kept her calm as she waved her hands to quickly collect the potions that held ridiculous effects, her eyes showing calmness even though her heart was turbulent. To her, these Potions were ridiculous treasures that could instantly recover one''s health and Mana, and even Dao Essence! Yet the being before her waved his hands to give out a thousand of them each as Love couldn''t help but look at him in a new light! What she didn''t know was that Noah held more than a million of such potions as what she received wasn''t even a drop in the expansive Sea that was Noah''s loot. "With these in hand, we can quickly finish the other half of the Gctic Fment Rank Dimensional Rifts...let''s go!" The Hegemony seemed to have been revitalized with the addition of the potions as she wrapped Noah with her essence again and their figures shot out from the clear Rift and into the next one. Noah let himself be pulled along with a smile as he continued to enjoy being power leveled, his body increasing the number of Gxies within his Origin and assimting multiple Daos as in this manner...a day passed. Just the passing of a day, just 24 hours! And yet within these 24 hours, the changes were simply immense! In the Abode of the Elder of the Destined Realm where Noah and Annalise were secretly staying in. The figure of Annalise could be seen as she was adorned in a white dress, particles of ice seen dancing around the dress as it increased her beauty. On her chest, one could see a glimmering manifestation of a few billion Gxies, this girl having long since broken into the Gctic Fment Realm with all the cores that Noah was providing. Her clear gaze was locked onto the figure of Noah¡­who was currently dazzling in an unbelievable fashion as when one nced at the manifested origin on his chest¡­they could see tens of billions of Gxies that added up to 100 Billion! At the point of one forging 50 Billion Gxies, they were termed a Monarch. When they achieved full 100 Billion Gxies within their origin, they were given the title of Paragon as they were just a step away from achieving Hegemony! This was what Noah had been able to achieve with the billions of Cores he received from the Hegemony of Love, and then the even more wondrous billions of cores he received from Idle Mode of the Gctic Fment Rifts that Love was taking him through. Just an hour of Idle Mode with 24 Dimensional Rifts added was already giving him 1.7 Billion Cores, this number alone bing 40 Billion Cores after 24 hours had passed! But during this time, Noah added more and more of the Dimensional Rifts as he currently had all 52 that the faction Love belonged to had control over, the only ones left being the 2 Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts that even Love could not tackle alone. But it meant Noah had been able to obtain tens of billions of Cores in the past day, absorbing all of them crazily as he currently held the maximum 100 Billion forged Gxies one needed before they could form their Universe. How did one exactly go about forming a universe though? Noah wasn''t too worried about this as the knowledge of the Usurper already showed him the way, where after he forged his gxies¡­he now had to connect all of them together and cause the appearance of a Singrity! A point of infinite density and mass¡­that was a singrity! One had to connect all of their Gxies within their origin and cause the appearance of this singrity, everything being drawn into one source before it would be released outwards and cause the birth of a Universe. "Hooo¡­" Noah breathed out lightly as he opened his eyes, this being the thing that he was waiting for the most. In a mere matter of days, he went from a Neb to a Gxy, and now he was at the peak of Gctic Fment as he was just a step away from forming a Universe! This was Noah''s own path that couldn''t be mirrored by others, something only made possible through a ridiculous System and Noah''s own ingenuity. "Universal Hegemony¡­" He uttered out slowly as he gazed at his hands that felt like they could now easily shatter worlds and realms, a myriad of thoughts crossing his mind as he focused on the Idle Gaming Interface once more. Apart from the Cores, Dao Crystals, and a myriad of more things he was receiving as loot, there was the Random Gctic Fment Rank Unit Shards¡­and the Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals! With the Unit shards, he could summon thousands of Gctic Fment Rank Units if he wished at this moment, this number of course restricted by the fact that he could only summon 14 at once. But what was more interesting and the thing that Noah was looking forward to the most¡­was the Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals. With these, he would be capable of pumping them into Gctic Fment Units as when they reached the maximum allowable limit, he could fuse the two units as they would be capable of stepping from this realm and giving birth to a Universal Realm Rift Boss! This was why Noah adored the Idle Gaming System so much¡­the fact that small pieces of loot like the Upgrade Crystals could have such an astounding and ridiculous effect as to be capable of causing the birth of a Universal Rank Unit. Even though they came in the billions, Noah still needed a dozen more billion of these Upgrade Crystals before he could fully fuse two units and cause for the appearance of something multiple times more powerful than even him. To collect these Upgrade Crystals, he expected to need a period of just two days! After two days, he could forge a Universal existence toe under his wing as with such a thing in the picture, the Hegemonies searching for him and wishing to obtain his Legacy....were as good as finished! Chapter 206 - Scheme Against A Hegemony! I Within a cleared Gctic Fment Rift in the Celestial ne. The figure of love was stretching her long neck as she spoke with a sonorous voice while looking at the blue glimmering runic circle before them. "That''s all of the 52 Gctic Fment Rifts under the influence of the Ster Expanse that is under the lead of the Hegemony of Gold. I cannot clear the 2 Universal Rifts alone unless I seek help from others...so what shall be done now, Little Usurper?" Love had a quizzical expression as her dark eyes honed in on Noah, the curves of her body magnified several times from a myriad of factors, but most of all it was due to the Lesser Dao of Love that she was the architect of! Noah looked at this being with a smile as even though she asked what they should do now, she didn''t know that what she had done was more than enough! She had effectively handed him the fastest cleared Rifts in Idle Mode that even he wouldn''t be able to get until he traversed far into the Realm of Universal Hegemony. "We...actually don''t need to do anything. We can rx for the next two days." "Hmmm?" Love raised her browse at such a reply, but Noah only floated contentedly in the nk space of the cleared Dimensional Rift as he seemed veryid back! Yes, his fate was seemingly dark and filled with unknown possibilities, but he was doing all he could as he had tore through the Realms of power faster than any of the protagonists he read about in novels. He didn''t go through waves of enemies of young masters, their fathers and uncles and then their forefathers...he simply moved up his realm due to the Idle Gaming System and the myriad of features it provided. Now, he just needed two days before he could produce a Universal Rank Rift Boss...and this was also only possible because of the loot feature of Upgrade Crystals that was unique to the Idle Gaming System! Seeing his carefree attitude, Love raised a brow as she neared Noah''sid back figure and spoke out. "Weren''t there Grand ns and designs? Didn''t we have to take a Peak Gctic Fment Paragon for you to steal the Realm of?" The Hegemony asked quizzically as Noah only opened his eyes and spoke out calmly. "I''ve already yet Peak Gctic Fment Realm so there''s no need for that. Now I only have Hegemony to tackle as for that...I''ll just need a few days." RUMBLE The words were like a strike of thunder to Love as she looked at Noah incredulously, but he only answered her gaze by reflecting the Origin of his body on the Elder he was currently upying the body and mind of with Authority of the Dominator. Love took such a scene in with stupor as she reigned herself within seconds, her eyes locking on Noah carefully as she seemed to be measuring him up and down before she replied. "Then what is the n for you to tackle Hegemony? How will you steal the Realm of an existence that can wield the might of a Universe?" How?! How did Noah exactly n on dealing with Hegemonies before he was one? Well, the answer was rtively simple, and he could even do it in a myriad of ways if he chose. One was for him¡­.to simply wait a week or more as he obtained multiple Universal Rank Rift Bosses thereafter! Another was something he had in mind when he approached the Hegemony of Love in the very beginning and he didn''t know of the surprise that would be waiting for him from 52 Gctic Fment Rifts. He had nned to scheme against a Hegemony, utilizing Love''s power and his knowledge of dangerous Dimensions that were even perilous to Hegemonies to achieve his goals! He had nned to lure a Hegemony onto one of these dangerous Dimensions as he would work with Love to rip apart their defences while they tried to survive, with the only thing remaining being to choose an existence like the Hegemony of Gold or someone else as their target. At such a thought, he smiled lightly as he nced towards Love. "We''ll head to an unstable Dimension that the Great Usurper hid some other treasures. If you don''t have my knowledge on how to navigate them, you are as good as dead...even if you are a Hegemony!" WAA! Noah''s words caused a chill to creep onto Love''s back as she looked at this being even more closely. The scheme he just spoke of...he could have done such a thing to her if he wished, and under her Greed of reaching Antiquity, she would have dly followed him and fallen into such a trap! "..." She entrenched hisid back expression as she branded this being dangerous...and she had to move with even more care around him as she nodded. "Okay them. We have a few days and then a scheme against a Hegemony. What''s your pick?" The being before her was dangerous, but as a Hegemony, she was even more dangerous! All she had to do was move with care to not be schemed against as her eyes shed with light. "I don''t like Gold, and he is the one chasing after me right now so he is the first thates to mind. But I know there are many hegemonies in the other 2 factions aside from the Ster Expanse in the Celestial ne...do you have any enemies you want dead?" With a calm gaze, Noah asked such a question as Love''s eyes shone with even more brightness. "Attacking the Hegemonies from other factions is possible, but if you want greater chances of sess...the target would have to be the Hegemony of Gold!" WAA! Love spoke with a light of cruelty as she thought of this Hegemony that always wanted to get his hands on her like a mere ything as she continued. "I don''t know of the abilities of other Hegemonies in other factions...but I do know of Gold''s abilities, and that means increased chances of sess if you can truly lure him into a deadly Dimension." ¡­! A scheme was gradually forming against a Hegemony at this moment, and it was one that would be the spring for a terrifying existence to make their appearance in the Chaotic Universe....and even the vast Cosmos out there! Chapter 207 - Scheme Against A Hegemony! II As a scheme against a Hegemony bloomed on one side, Noah was still making moves as his body that held half of his consciousness and not upying the Subjugated Elder...this body was actually in another ne at this moment! Noah had left the Destined Realm of the Golden Destiny Conve as he didn''t go anywhere too grand, simply teleporting himself and Annalise to the Abyssal ne as he utilized the Abyssal ne Expedition feature. "Hmmm¡­" He breathed in the fiery air as he looked at the red skies and barren red earth before him that stretched for countless miles and light years, his eyes noting the Abyssal Beasts not too far away with their ugly batlike forms with variations of their bodies running rampant. The very air of this ne was suffocating as one constantly felt like they were in danger, and they were very much so as deep within this ne, there were terrifying Abyssal Hegemonies that protected this ne from ever being destroyed! The Abyssal ne had its own mystery as it was connected to the myriad of Universes within the Cosmos that Noah''s home Chaotic Universe was in, with Noah gaining a bit more knowledge about this Abyssal ne from the memories of the Great Usurper. The knowledge he gained about it only made him more confused as to why it was connected to the Idle Gaming System, and he came to it again right now for the purpose of the Taboo Treasure that was promised to him if he cleared the Abyssal Beasts within that could devour entire nes, and he just had to clear the tens of Quintillions of Beasts roaming in the Abyssal ne to do so. While he waited for the hours to pass and gain the bulk of loot that would contain the Gctic Fment Realm Upgrade Crystals that would fuse a Universal Realm Rift Boss, Noah nned to erase more Abyssal Beasts and make some achievements on this goal! As for how he would do it efficiently? He was now at the peak Gctic Fment Realm as due to the loot from 52 Rifts at this level, he could summon any Units of this rank that he wished! BZZZT! Essence crackled around his figure as he used 100 Shards of the Random Gctic Fment Rank Unit Shards multiple times and caused the appearance of more than ten terrifying auras to arrive near him and Annalise. They towered over a few thousand miles in size, their bodies alone beingrger thans as they all shone with a glorious Incandescence of ster bodies! On their figures, one could see the manifested Origins of billions of Gxies, each of these beasts releasing terrifying waves of power. One was an enormous winged magma crocodile, another being a glimmering Red Dragon, another taking the body that closely resembled a Chaos Phoenix with obsidian wings and mes running across it, and there was even the figure of a Rift Boss made of pure essence of Destruction as its hands held a glimmering ck hammer that sucked in all light! They ranged in shapes and sizes, but all 14 were releasing stupendous waves of power! Annalise looked at all of them with bright eyes as frost had already begun to gather around her, her own realm having broken through to the Gctic Fment Realm as the coldness she could release was enough to freeze entire Gxies at this point. Even as she faced the pressure from 14 Rift Bosses that were multiple times more powerful than normal Blessed, she still nned to fight just as hard if not harder than them against the onught of Beasts they were about to face! At the same time, Noah was looking at the stats of the terrifying beasts as he found that most had inborn assimtion of four to five Grand Daos and Lesser Daos, their power alone being this terrifying as it made Noah wonder even more of the mystery behind his Idle Gaming System. How could this System logically be capable of doing what it was currently doing? Spitting out the insane amounts of loot, the capability of fusing Beasts through Upgrade Crystals, the different Dimensions Noah could ess...there were many times when he pondered about this and arrived to no conclusions, but every time he achieved a higher level of power and understood more of the environment around him, he found himself questioning this very same overpowered System! s, like always...he had no answer. So he found himself sighing as he enjoyed what he had, giving amand to the 14 Rift Bosses to thunder forward into the Nests of the Abyssal Beasts as this time around...he was going for the purpose of Annihtion! He was going to clear as many as possible, making the Abyssal ne Expedition a foremost feature that he had to clear. After all, it was just 100 Quintillion existences, right? Just how hard could it be to entirely erase all of them and the Abyssal Hegemonies that stood over this Abyssal ne? "OOOOOH!" "ROOOAR!" Bellows resounded out as Noah''s 14 Gctic Fment Beasts moved out, Annalise''s body also rising to the crimson skies as she bathed it white with frost, her hands tapping the air above them frost coagted madly for thousands of miles and formed into spiky worlds that undted with instability! Her crimson hair waved around fantastically as the white dress she was adorned in coalesced beautifully with ice, her body radiating a dangerous aura that could freeze entire Gxies as she floated forward, intent on being just as efficient if not more in clearing the Abyssal Beasts. Then there was Noah himself. With a soul and origin that had devoured who knew how many Souls of his enemies, his mind was currently a terrifying mass of essence as while releasing glorious cerulean rays of light, he was ready to unleash the horrendous abilities of Ancient Mind, Telekic Emperor, and the Mind Dominator as heid waste to as many Abyssal Beasts as possible while devouring countless souls! THRUM! Like a notched bow, he flew forward as out of his Units or even Annalise, the efficiency he would have would be something that far surpassed any of them. Chapter 208 - Scheme Against A Hegemony! III The clearing of the Abyssal ne ensued fully as Noah had the strength of multiple Gctic Fment Rank Paragons, where the only thing that could stop him within were the Abyssal Hegemonies that stayed at the depths of the Abyssal ne and were powerful enough to devour Universes if given the time and chance. While this urred, Noah prepared for the terrifying scheme he wanted to carry out against a Hegemony, and the first step of preparations was to make sure they knew their surroundings more than their enemy! "For this¡­we will have to see just which of the dangerous Dimensions will work out best for us to use our knowledge of them while the enemy we bring will eventually be torn down, but not so much that their body and origin get sucked into deadly dao storms as we lose what we went there for in the first ce." Still in the cleared Gctic Fment Rift in the Celestial ne, Noah spoke towards the Hegemony of Love whose eyes were shing with a light of care! "You want to bring me to these same dangerous Dimensions that are sufficient enough to kill a Universal Hegemony for the purposes of scouting?" Her tone was filled with a sharp light as when it came to such a thing, she couldn''t help but have her own life preservation instincts kick in and turn distrustful. As she gradually saw the means of this Little Usurper, she learned to grow much more careful of him as the idea of going into a Dimension that would be the death ce of Hegemonies¡­she had to have assurances before doing so! Her eyes shed with many thoughts and ideas as an answer was right before her eyes, but she hadn''t carried it out as it involved something she had a love-hate rtionship with¡­her own designed Lesser Dao of Love that gave her the title she currently held. The very same Dao that caused her to be looked at as a ything for other Hegemonies to obtain, the very same Dao that was her highest achievement and yet always reminded her of the predicament her actions had brought her in! When she designed it, it was something akin to an epiphany hitting her as she couldn''t stop, epiphanies such as this being extremely rare for Hegemonies as very few would have the capability to be the architects of artificial daos. She couldn''t stop it as she only came out of her reverie after it was done, finding herself with this unique Dao that had many uses¡­one of them being abilities that allowed two parties to know when the other was lying or wishing them harm! This was only a baseline of what the Dao of Love could do, but of course to initiate these abilities¡­it required for the two parties to initiate them with acts of love. The Hegemony shook her head with a sigh as she thought of this, the Little Usurper before her eyes looking towards her with a smile as he spoke. "So then, how should we trust each other when I''ve put everything on the table?" His question seemed to be taunting her authority as she squinted her eyes while locking her gaze towards him, beginning to float towards his body as her voice rang out- her mind being made! "As the Hegemony of Love, the abilities I can use are many. A particr one allows me to know if the other side is lying or wishes me harm. To initiate it though, an act of love is required!" THRUM! Waves of a unique pink essence undted on her body as she said this, her curvaceous figure bing illuminated even more as her dark hair glistened in the glimmering starry space of the gctic fment rift. "Oh?" Noah raised his brows as this Hegemony floated towards him, her exquisitely sculpted featuresing up a few inches from him as a unique aroma permeated in the surroundings! Her dark eyes were slowly turning a shade of red as she as seeing his raised brow and sh of another expression in his eyes, she let out a harrumph while continuing. "Just an act of love, nothing that would make a Little Usurper like you too happy. Just a kiss is enough!" WAA! The moment she finished her words, this Hegemony domineeringly grasped Noah''s face as she nted a heavy kiss, the essence of the Lesser Dao of Love releasing a wave of power that faded away a secondter! Right after that, Love opened her eyes as she moved back, ncing at Noah''s figure that now had a faint red runic mark floating above his head. This red runic mark would be the thing that allowed her to know if the being before her was ever lying or wishing her harm, and she affirmed thetter right away as her eyes squinted and saw the runic mark give off a light red glow. "Hmm¡­" It meant that this being was not wishing her any harm! "Okay." She nodded her head as she turned towards him again, the expression on his eyes an interesting one as Love found it extra difficult to stare into the deep eyes of the Little Usurper. "You said you wanted to see these dangerous Dimensions first?" She brushed off the past event like nothing happened as Noah wiped his lips and nodded lightly. "There are three suitable Dimensions one can survive as a Universal Hegemony if they know their way. We''ll start with the Apocalypse of Time Dimension." ¡­! The Apocalypse of Time Dimension! Love heard such a name as she didn''t focus on this, her eyes still remaining on the runic mark above Noah that shone with another red glow- showing this being wasn''t lying! Her heart settled as she nodded with bright eyes. "Good. Let''s see what the abilities of the Usurper are all about then." Her heart gained a hint of expectancy as she looked forward to anything the Great Usurper had to offer, knowing that in a certain Dimension, there was a treasure that would allow her to break from the Realm of a Universal Hegemony and into the titles of an Antiquity! She locked her gaze at the Little Usurper who breathed out slowly and called out in a domineering tone. "Dimensional Travel." BZZZT! Their surroundings shook and trembled as enormous bouts of mana were sacrificed, a rupture pulsing out above them as the two of them looked at it with care and caution because within it¡­they could sense great peril and dangers if one didn''t move carefully! Chapter 209 - Scheme Against A Hegemony! IV The current exploration was a unique one even for Noah, filling his heart with anticipation even though he wasn''t truly in any danger! It was a Subjugated Elder that he was taking over at this moment as he even had a Hegemony with him, but the pulsating Rift above them that he had made represented a great deal of things. With the coordinates given from the myriad of memories left behind in the Legacy of the Great Usurper, this was one of the few Dimensions that Noah had to make a visit to in the future. Now, he had a chance to do so while also acting as an initial scouting mission for the future ns of scheming against a Hegemony! "Let''s go." His voice was light as he released his hand towards Love, her bright expression turning quizzical as he continued to speak. "There''s constant spatial storms across Dimensions. I''ll need your essence covering us as I will be the one to lead us out from this dimension and into this one." With a nod, Love grasped onto his hand as essence undted around them, their figures floating into the pulsing Rift as Noah utilized Dimensional Travel to traverse into an entirely different dimension! BZZZT! The area around them was a shade of gray and ck as their crossed from one dimension to another, a terrifying essence seemingly trying to gnaw and eat up at anything passing as only with the essence of a Hegemony could one survive. Love had a somber expression as her essence flowed out in more droves, protectively wrapping around them as after a few seconds...they escaped the spatial storms! WAA! Their surroundings changed. They found themselves floating in the void of a unique space, the area they were in being one that was rtively isted as all around it...one could see unstable forms of Cosmic Essence shing with each other. Every time it shed, the void of space shattered as this Cosmic essence was something that very few could manage to survive! "The Unstable essence of the Cosmic Dao of Chronos is what lies all around us¡­" Noah''s voice echoed out as he looked into the surroundings, d that the information from the Great Usurper remained true as the coordinates they entered this dimension in were the few that weren''t surrounded by deadly storms of the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Chronos. Something even higher than thew of time! Something that was actually more magisterial than many other Cosmic Daos, ranking higher than the Cosmic Daos of Tenebrosity, Annihtion, and some even argued on the same level as Extinction if not slightly higher. Such were the storms urring throughout the Apocalypse of Time Dimensional ne, where if one ran into them...they could find themselves losing thousands of years of life or even millions as if they were exposed long enough, death would not be too far from them! "This is a ne where the Usurper ced a set of skills for me to inherit, and I know which pathways to take that are rtively safe and which ones are danger zones that one should steer away from." Noah''s eyes shone with brightness as he said this, just imagining the fantastical skills that could have been left behind by an existence such as the Usurper as his voice continued. "I chose this Dimension? to possibly lure a Hegemony into because the storms within it are not going to disintegrate your body right away, with exposer reducing your lifespan little by little until you die." "If we can bring the Hegemony of Gold into this Dimension under the guise of catching me...we can lead him through the extreme danger zones where the Chronos Storms can take away millions of years of life in a second, grinding him down just enough until I can devour his Origin and Soul." ¡­! His words were utterly cold and filled with brutality, but Love found herself gazing at the faraway Chronos Storms with a sharp light as she couldn''t find any ws in what the Little Usurper wanted to do! "The only problem lies in bringing him here¡­" Her voice echoed out as she flew forward carefully to gaze at the storm rampaging a few inches from her, being able to feel the dangers of what would happen if she even touched it. "Bringing him here will be the easiest part! With his Greed for the Legacy of the Usurper, all that you will need to do is let him know that you found me and are giving chase, you being the one to enter the Rift towards this Dimension first as Gold will just follow!" Noah was confident in these words as he saw the Greed and arrogance in the eyes of Hegemony, expecting him to run face first towards anything they threw at him. Love continued to stare at the Chronos Storms around them as she nodded, Noah craning his neck as he voiced out. "Alright, let''s practice maneuvering and avoiding these deadly storms as if we have someone giving us a chase. The more familiar we are with this dangerous Dimension...the better!" They got to the purpose of their visit as Love breathed out and continued reinforcing their bodies with her essence, her figure beginning to move with Noah''s directions as she tried not to run into the deadly Chronos Storms. As for the portion of the Legacy hidden within this dimension? Noah would not be able to get it at this stage even with the help from Love, and he needed toe back when he achieved Hegemony fully once more in order to grab the enclosed Legacy! So the two of them experimented in traversing through the Apocalypse of Time Dimension that was filled with deadly Chronos Storms, making a scheme against a Hegemony that was situated at the top of one of the factions overseeing the Celestial ne. At the same time, Noah continued to clear the Abyssal ne with Annalise and his Units, simply waiting for the hours to pass as he obtained enough Upgrade Crystals to produce a Universal Rank Rift Boss! Chapter 210 - Universal Rank Unit! I In the Empyrean ne. The mobilization of forces to look for the Disciple ''Chambeyne'' that was Noah''s Subjugated Blessed who had taken the Legacy of the Usurper had never stopped. Under themands of the Hegemony of Gold that oversaw the Ster Expanse of the Celestial ne, nearly all of the forces of the Celestial ne were stretched throughout turning over every world and Realm! These being that had hundreds of thousands of years of history felt stifled at being given such a task for so many days, but under the power of a Universal Hegemony, they could do nothing but follow. As for this Universal Hegemony himself? Gold was impossibly looking at a scene of a vast river of destiny and fate as he continued to look for possibilities there. Any possibilities...anything that would lead him to the Legacy of the Great Usurper! His stout face was filled with frustration as the gold hair on his head flowed to his shoulders, his gold eyes shining with a light of brutality! "Gold¡­" His eyes rose as he received a mentalmunication around this time, this message actuallying from the Hegemony of Love as he replied to it gruffly. "What is it?" His voice held a hint of distaste when he spoke, knowing that this woman had been entering the Gctic Fment Rank Dimensional Rifts for thest day with a Blessed of this same rank! He considered her a loose thing that he would deal with when he got his hands on the Great Usurper''s Legacy and achieved Antiquity, and he would show her just what men she should have aligned herself with. Yet even to his distaste, Love''s voice came out calmly. "I''ve been following a lead on checking Dimensional Rifts as the hiding ces of our little problem that is now proficient in anything to do with Dimensions with the Great Usurper''s skills...and it is bearing some fruit. I''ve caught traces of him in one of the Rifts in the Celestial ne!" WAA! "What?!" Gold rose up with shining eyes as many thoughts crossed his mind, where he had considered the fact that one could hide in a Dimensional Rift...but hadn''t fully explored this thought as it would require too many forces to cover such a search. But if Love had found some traces of it¡­ "His signature now leads down towards the Empyrean ne. I can''t do every fucking thing myself so you all start on the Rifts there. I''ll see if I can locate him again as the next time I do...I''ll call for backup so the little snake doesn''t escape again." Her sonorous words let out her frustration as Gold nodded, his eyes shining brightly as he thought at least this woman still had her uses! "Good! Good!..." His voice echoed out as he began to change the area of search, the Empyrean ne once more bing active as the search continued! ---- The tides of destiny churned as time passed, every single being moving with their own ideals and goals. Across Dimensions, Noah''s Subjugated Elder carrying his consciousness through the Authority of the Dominator worked with the Hegemony of Love to trek through the deadly Chronos Storms that could wipe away thousands of years in a blink of an eye. They familiarized themselves with this ne that would be the trap which would befall a Hegemony, Noah''s confidence growing as Love''s fair face was wiping away sweat while she held on tightly onto Noah''s hands. She was holding on tightly as in this terrifying Apocalypse of Time Dimension, Noah was the only guide that could seemingly predict theing Chronos Storms! If one lost a guide, they might forever be lost in the Chronos Storms until they turned to ash. "Is it enough?" Love called out lightly as her essence undted to cover them both, wishing that they could leave this dangerous ne already. "Almost¡­" Noah replied with a twinkle in his eyes as he looked further ahead, almost seeing the location where the Great Usurper had hidden a portion of his Legacy! He couldn''t reach it yet, the further in they went bing even more dangerous as he expected only after he obtained two Universal Rank Units or a single Unit and he himself entering the Universal Realm...only then would it be possible. "You''ve prepared Gold?" His gaze turned to the woman with glimmering dark hair that was looking around the nearby Chronos Storms with a worried expression, her gaze staying on the storms as she replied to him. "By now, he should have begun scouring the Dimensional Rift of the Empyrean ne. The next time I send him a message just telling him that the one he is looking for is in a certain ce...he''ll rush towards it right away." Her words were filled with confidence as Noah nodded with bright eyes!? The n was set and the little details wereid out, the only thing left to do at this moment being to enact it! Of course, Noah was still watching the passage of time while collecting the loot from the 52 Gctic Fment Rank Dimensional Rifts, the Upgrade Crystals for one Unit''s full upgrade having already been obtained as he now waited for the second unit. He had a myriad of options to choose from for which two beasts he would fuse into a Universal Rank Rift Boss, and he had utilized the thousands of Rift Shards to summon a vast array of Beasts at the Gctic Fment Rank. The rarest ones with many Grand Daos already inborn within them would be the ones he would fuse, with his choices currently revolving around a unique Dragoness that held the title of Tyrant of Destiny...and a Unit made entirely of the Grand Essence of Destruction called the Anomalous Gctic Destroyer. These Units had the most collection of Grand Daos on them, Noah choosing them among the hundreds he could select from as there were multiple second and third options! These options...would be the ones he would select for his future Universal Rank Units after he obtained more Upgrade Crystals. But now, less than a day remained before he would have enough Upgrade Crystals to fuse a Universal Rank Unit and face a Hegemony! Chapter 211 - Universal Rank Unit! II The Abyssal ne remained and that seemingly continued endlessly, droves of Beasts and their Nests being persistent throughout no matter how far one entered. The skies were still crimson just the earth, with temperatures enough to burn the skin of any normal human being as if one didn''t have a unique source of energy wrapping protectively around them, they would die within minutes. But for Noah and Annalise, it was something they could survive with ease as they currently led a campaign to wipe out as many beings as they could! "Haa¡­" Annalise let out a tired sigh as she drank another mana potion, her body bing filled with essence as she nced at the Units her brother released that continued to tirelessly rip apart the Abyssal Beasts. This had been going on for almost two days now as whenever she or any of the Units were tired, Mana Potion and Dao Essence Revitalization Potions were downed endlessly until they could all fight again! But amongst all those who were relentlessly wiping away beasts, none of them could beat Noah as he jumped into droves of Nests that now held Gctic Fment Abyssal Beast Leaders thatmanded millions of Beasts of lower level. Under Noah though, all of them were reduced to shreds as a ster array of unbelievable and even terrifying attacks sometimes released from him. A terrifying Ancient Eye of Terror appearing above him as everything it nced on weakened considerably. Beams of sma that formed endlessly and could disintegrate anything they came across. Gosh, even the pressure alone he sometimes released when he uttered ''Ruler''s Emenation'' was enough to shatter the Origins and souls of the Beasts around them! As for how any of this was possible? It was of course due to something that Noah had done in the past, and something he continued to do even now. It was the Devouring of the souls they came across in the billions and trillions, his consciousness being expanded and strengthened to an rming amount as the power he could release as a result was simply terrifying. An exceedingly powerful mental strength meant easier ways of utilizing one''s essence as it drastically reduced how much mana one needed to utilize abilities. And the act of simply utilizing one''s consciousness to dominate others barely required any mana as all it would use up was the strength of someone''s soul and consciousness! But if one was constantly Devouring other souls and replenishing this? It gave way to the terrifying sight currently ying out where the relentless efficiency of Noah was reaching that of multiple Gctic Fment Rank Units that he had on the field. Annalise watched this scene with eyes zing with an expectant light, wishing for such a level of strength one day as she began to see a twinkle of light above Noah''s head at this moment. THRUM! The skies seemingly shook as her eyes watched the scene closely, this being the skill that her brother routinely cast which caused her to marvel at where they came from and where they are now. Apart from the Ancient Eye of Terror floating around Noah and the Ancient Tome of Heresy that was draining the essence of the Abyssal Beasts around him...he also went ahead and raised his hands to the skies as the twinkle of light Annalise saw was...stars! Genuine miniaturized stars filled with unstable essence of specific daos and Laws, these genuine stats being under the beck and call of her brother as they cascaded down like beautiful unrelenting lights that smashed with the force of nuclear Bombs. BOOM! BOOM! It was the ability that she''d heard Noah call out multiple times, allowing her older brother to call down hellish clusters of stats to wipe out their enemies. "Terror of the Stars¡­" Annalise called out such words slowly as her eyes twinkled, closing them soon after as she sought to mimic this same shocking ability! She reached deep within her Origin as she felt the glimmering Gxies within them, her icy Trait resonating with them as she pulled upon their strength. She might not be able to cause something with a spectacr effect like her brother, but she could at least pull down something simr! She had done it, after all, where she called down an icy frozen world onto the Abyssal Beasts herself. And she would not just expand the scale as she called down multiple destructive icy stars. Her Origin trembled as her mana spilled out to cause the coalesce for something in the crimson skies of the Abyssal ne, her red lips opening and closing as she called out what came to mind. "Starfall¡­" BZZZT! The crimson skies were painted white. Glimmering white stars thousands of miles in size formed above, their might turning the surroundings frigid even amidst the molten heat of the Abyssal ne as next...they thundered towards the red earth where Abyssal Beasts were already gazing up with shock and fear! Before they could even move, their bodies had already begun to freeze over from the terrifying temperatures as when the icy stars reached them, all that was left was for them to be vaporized and turned into nothingness. "..." Annalise opened her eyes to witness this scene, her chest heaving from overexertion as she could feel the icy exhration of what she had just done. "Haha!" A peal ofughter burst from her as from the distance, Noah looked at his sister that looked like a deadly Ice Queen ready to usher the whole Abyssal ne into an ice age! He smiled at such a scene as coincidentally, it was also the time when the Idle Gaming System Interface shone gold for him to collect once more, his fingers clicking on it as after another sh of gold and his eyes looking over the loot¡­he found that he now had enough for what he was waiting for. Enough Upgrade Crystals to finish fully elevating the second Gctic Fment Rank Unit and be capable of fusing both of them and produce a Universal Rank Unit! The time hade for him to see just how overpowered and ridiculous the result of the fusion would be, his thoughts moving to upgrade the second Unit as the time was nigh! Chapter 212 - Universal Rank Unit! III After a sufficient amount of days passed, Noah was free to elevate the power of two Gctic Fment Realm Units and fuse them into a single powerful existence of the next rank. Of a Rank that many sought after but rarely got a chance to handle, one that allowed a Universe to bloom within one''s Origin! While in the midst of killing and devouring the souls of the Abyssal Beasts, Noah let 12 of his Units and Annalise take free reign as he stayed back while watching the shining figures of 2 Units. A Dragoness that was the Tyrant of Destiny, and the Unit made entirely of the Grand Essence of Destruction called the Anomalous Gctic Destroyer. The bodies of these two existences were already colossal as Noah seemed like a mere ant next to them, but he was the one controlling their moves as currently, their bodies were brimming with power as they continued to be pumped with Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals! THRUM! A buzz of essence undted around the two terrifying beasts as they roared out powerfully around them, Noah only watching them coldly until the prompt he wanted to see most came right before his eyes. It didn''t even form fully as an instantter, he called out coldly. [Two Units¡­] "Fuse them!" WAA! The two terrifying rift bosses, one a dragoness termed the tyrant of destiny and the other a creature made from the very essence of destruction¡­these two existences fused as they gave way to something wondrous and new. Their lights melded together as the color of gold pervaded throughout, blinding the surroundings as when everything died down¡­a new champion had appeared! A new unit, one that caused Noah''s eyes to flutter as he found himself staring at what seemed like a creature with a form resembling a Dragon, but not really! It had 5 pairs of wings on its back, each of these wings a different color as they contained the essence of a Dao. Three pairs of eyes were on its draconic head as they stared at Noah deeply, seemingly being capable of seeing everything as even Noah felt a prickling travel through his skin! Its four scaly limbs undted between darkness and a scaly obsidian color as a spiked tail behind it seemed to release enough strength capable of even shattering gxies. It was only a mile in length as one might say it was on the small side of Noah''s Units, with even those at the Gctic Fment Realm behind it being asrge as worlds. But this size was truly deceptive if one was looking at it as a measure of power for this beast, the sheer pressure it released causing the air to distort and falter! "ROAAAAAAR!" A loud bellow echoed from it as it shook the crimson skies and the red earth of the Abyssal ne, this roar announcing the arrival of a Universal Hegemony as Noah looked at its figure and details proudly. UNIVERSAL [Morrin- The Annihtory Observer] :: A creature born from the terrifying coagtion of mana and destruction, wielding the assimted Cosmic Dao of Annihtion at birth as along with this, it is proficient in the Grand Daos of Destiny, Destruction, Incandescence, Devouring, and the lesser daos of Withering, Vitality¡­It''s abilities include [World of Annihtion], [Ray of Destruction], [Mark of the Annihtor], [Breath of Old], [Annihtion], [Dance of the Annihtory Observer]... The Annihtory Observer¡­Morrin! This was Noah''s first Universal Rank Unit, and it was one that opened the way to boundless possibilities. Just from its birth alone, it came withplete assimtion of a Cosmic Dao as a myriad of other daos were stacked on its roster. Its skills were even more terrifying as the names were things Noah could only look forward to seeing in the future. With it, Noah could take the steady steps and see how far he could reach through the features of Infinite Crucible or Tower of Champions, taking the risk ofing across the terribly powerfully Rift Bosses at the Universal Realm that would have power simr to the one he just fused! Or he could remain in the Abyssal ne as he cut to its depths to try and find an Abyssal Hegemony, this alsoing with its own terrible risks as the Abyssal Hegemonies within the Abyss did not move alone. If one moved, all the others followed as he would once more be possibly swarmed by a terrifying array of Rift Bosses to face with the single one he held- no matter how powerful it is. "Hooo¡­" He let out a light breath with a fresh smile as he had already chosen a path he would take after the production of a Universal Rank Rift Boss. it didn''t involve any of the features that would require Noah to have multiple Units at this same rank to clear them with ease, but it involved a Blessed that was at this same Universal Realm! He chose this route because as always, a Rift Boss at the same level was 10 times as powerful as the Blessed! With him choosing to scheme against a Hegemony, he was truly putting himself against an enemy much weaker than anything he would face from the features of the Idle Gaming System where he had to deal with Rift Bosses. When he faced a Blessed, he could more easily decimate such a being as when he was weakened, Noah would be able to elevate himself into the Universal Realm by utilizing the Greed of the Usurper and taking the realm of this being! And for this¡­the n was set. The Apocalypse of Time Dimension where Chronos Storms raged was visited and looked over multiple times. A helping hand that was another Hegemony was obtained. And now, the final piece of the puzzle to finish everything had appeared, leaving nothing for Noah to do but to make his move! Far from the Abyssal ne, in the Apocalypse of Time Dimension that the Hegemony of Love was growing weary of. The Subjugated Elder Noah was upying the mind of opened his eyes as he locked his gaze with Love, his eyes shining with light as his voice echoed out. "It is time." WAA! Chapter 213 - Dance To My Tune! I Love felt her heart flutter at what she was about to do. She closed her eyes and felt her Universal Origin pulse, felt the billions of Gxies within this Universe as the vast mana within it brought her utter calm. ''It is not something new.'' She opened her eyes as she thought as such, her mind reaching to everything she had done to get where she was now. Her face hardened as she steeled her resolve. ''For the sake of Antiquity...I will do what must be done!'' For the sake of the stage of power above Universal Hegemony! For the sake of strength to protect herself from the men that were constantly eyeing her because of something she herself had created...she would do this. WAA! Essence fluctuated in the surroundings as her figure returned to the Empyrean ne through an enormous Rift in space that remained there even after she came out. This was the Rift leading to the Apocalypse of Time Dimension, the horrible ce filled with Chaos Storms that she had just left and truly didn''t want to go back into. But she would have to go back again, and this time she would need to bring another Hegemony in tow. ''Well then¡­'' She pulled out amunication medallion that could easily send her voice across the void and reach the other person holding a simr medallion, her voice turning urgent as she is to put on y. "Gold! I''ve caught the trail of Chambeyne from one of the Rifts in the Empyrean ne! He cannot slip past our fingers this time...hurry!" THRUM! Unseen waves of fate and destiny echoed out as within the message, Love put the coordinates of her current location as Gold''s reply came in waves. "Do not spook him, wait for me to gather the oth-" "He''s seen me and is opening a Rift!" Before the words of Gold even finished, Love spoke into the medallion again as she could almost see the curses that Gold wasying out. He didn''t reply in the medallion after, but Love knew he was taking multiple long distance teleportations to get here as in no more than ten seconds¡­ BZZZT! The area near her crackled with thunder and lightning as it split apart, the devilish figure of a toned golden haired man with a sharp jawline appearing from it as his aura spread around them madly! She saw the Rift pulsing not too far from them as his essence quickly wrapped around it, his face turning towards Love angrily as he looked back and forth between her and the Rift. Love kept her face outwardly that of urgency and anger as she studied Gold carefully, his raspy voiceing out as he looked into the Rift that even he could sense releasing dangerous waves. "Why didn''t you follow right away?" "What?" Love showed anger on her face as she pointed towards the Rift and continued. "I very much like my life, and I know even you can sense danger from that Rift. What if it''s a trap? I''m not so keen on following this thief so fast. Let''s just wait for everyone before we ente-" BZZZT! The surroundings trembled as before her words even finished, the Rift that Gold had wrapped around with his essence began to tremble unstably...showing that it was about to close at any moment! Gold cursed under his breath as he knew just a few more seconds...just a few more and he would have multiple other Hegemonies here, but this Rift would close in the next second as his angered face full of greed for the Legacy of the Great Usurper shone, his essence billowing in waves as he grabbed Love and pushed her figure into the unstable Rift, his own body following behind a moment after! ¡­! "You fucking¡­!" Live was letting out expletives as they crossed the unstable waves of Dimensions, Gold''s face turning hard as he kept a careful look around him, protecting his body against the raging spatial essence around them as within seconds, they came out of the Rift and arrived into where it led. Love''s words were stilling out in a berating fashion as she kept up her act even now. She had to after all, they were now so close after sessfully bringing Gold into the Apocalypse of Time Dimension. "How dare you pull me into such a ce? This ce that¡­" Her words trailed off as she seemingly looked around them, Gold doing the same as his face hardened when he stared at the chaotic Chronos Storms in the distance. "A woman like you talks too damn much without taking action." Gold''s berating voice came out as he made sure there was no direct dangers near them, the essence of multiple Cosmic Dao Essences wrapping around him powerfully. Love showed a wrathful expression as she counted the Cosmic Daos she knew this being to have. Extinction just like hers that came from one of the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts they controlled, then there was the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Annihtion, and then the Cosmic Dao of Phantasm! Along with this, Gold''s body glistened with an even greater luster of this color as the Grand Dao that defined him as its architect...the Grand Dao of Gold wrapped around him protectively as his entire body turned purely into a man made of gold. While berating Love, he took in everything around them as he bellowed out. "Chambeyne...where are you?! We have many things to discuss if youe out peacefully...you will not be attacked!" His voice echoed out powerfully even among the chaotic Chronos Storms, seemingly ignoring Love''s anger as he even came to stand beside her, a mental message echoing out in her mind from him. "Just work together with me for now and you''ll have whatever you want. I''ll leave you to your own devices after we split the Legacy of the Usurper...but for now just heed mymands until we capture this Chambeyne!" His words were enticing as Love gritted her teeth while nodding, her heart settling with utter ease as her work was mostly done at this point. Now, she wondered, just how would the being scheming all this be able to pull it off just from using the Chronos Storms and her? She and Gold didn''t have to wait long as a secondter, the figure of Noah that was currently wearing the face of Chambeyne who was publicly known as the one to take the Legacy of the Usurper appeared. His figure floated only a few miles away from them, but he was near a powerful Chronos Storm that caused Gold to not teleport to his location right away as his eyes only shone with light and malice! The two of them looked at the newly appearing figure that smiled brightly. "Things to discuss...I do not have such time for that. I have to take the other portions of the Legacy and do not have time for you all!" WAA! His face had a mocking expression as he spoke, Gold''s body lighting up even brighter at his appearance and the mention of another portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper as like an arrow knocked on a bow...his figure shot towards Noah. Love watched such a scene in slow motion as her face regained its calm and rity, focusing on her bubbling Universal Origin once more as she was ready. Gold moved, she moved, and then Noah made his own moves! A dance had begun....a glorious and fantastical dance that only a single being was pulling the strings of, all others merely dancing to his tune! Chapter 214 - Dance To My Tune! II A dance. What note could it be but that as three figures each moved to a certain tune, some in the dark...and others knowing very well what the next step would be. The eyes of the Hegemony of Gold swam with Greed and power as he kept them on the figure of ''Chambeyne'', his heart thumping ever so loudly in his heart as if he could hear the sweet words of what was so close. ''The Legacy of the Great Usurper...Antiquity above all other Antiquities¡­'' such thoughts preupied his mind as nothing else even had the chance. The reason as to how Love had found this figure before them after all this time where he wasn''t found. Why the both of them were now in a different dimension. Why there were terrifying storms all around them that were made of terrifying storms of Chronos! All of these didn''t fill Gold''s mind as the only thing there was the Legacy of the Great Usurper. His body glimmered with utter brilliance and power as the Cosmic Daos he knew weaved around him, weaving to hismands as Extinction and Annihtion actually stretched out towards the figure of Chambeyne first before anything else! They stretched out to wrap around him while also damaging him, but not too much that they would destroy himpletely. He couldn''t be destroyedpletely until he was under his grasp! "Do you know how long I have chased a dog like you!" THRUM! With his figure undting with intense light, his figure and essence had almost reached his target as he watched a smile be etched on his face, his next set of words ringing out resoundingly. "You have chased for long, but you will chase no more." His words were the ushering of a terrifying force as the moment they finished, a terrifying aura bloomer much too close to the left side of the Hegemony of Gold. An aura of pure terror and madness that was more powerful than any average Hegemony, an aura that was already extending its terrifying ws that were filled with the bright essence of Annihtion towards the figure of Gold! BOOOOM! Like a fly swatted, his figure was smashed into by a horrendous pressure as he was uncontrobly ushered towards the deadly Chronos Storms around them, air escaping his lungs as he choked for relief- the left side of his body that had taken the strike feeling like it had entirely copsed! "GAH!" Brilliance shone around him as he sought to steady himself in shock, but he found himself to actually be standing in the midst of a Chronos Storm as his Origin and soul were constantly being ravaged and eaten up, wrath and fear welling up within him at the fact that he could feel hundreds of thousands of years of life force being taken away from him every second. OOOOH! He bellowed out powerfully as his Universal Origin churned, pushing away the Chronos Essence around him as he began to tear his way out, his figure rushing opposite from the thing that had struck him as he tried to gather his bearings. There, standing beside the smiling Chambeyne, he could see a beast adorned with 5 pairs of glimmering wings- each colorfully resounding with their own Dao Essence, and three pairs of eyes that shone with the glow of Gxies and looked capable of seeing through everything! The beast had a bright Universe manifested on its chest as its gaze was full of arrogance, its eyes coldly locking onto Gold''s figure that was traveling away from them in the Chronos Storm as they were eyes that had already marked an existence for death. "Fucking hell¡­!" Gold cursed out at such a situation, his figure barreling out of the Chronos Storm at high speeds while also looking disbelievingly to the enormous Rift Boss that was a mile long floating beside Chambeyne. A genuine Universal Rank beast that he would expect to see in a Universal Rank Dimensional Rift, yet it was currently floating beside a lowly being and listening to his orders! "Curses!" Gold bellowed out as he saw he was nearly out of the Chronos Storm, looking for the figure of Love while wondering if the worthless woman had already somehow died, but the back of his mind began to think of other things that he couldn''t pay attention to right now. He had to leave the Chronos Storms that were constantly wasting away his life force first before he could think, and his figure did just that as with great effort, he tore through the boundary of the storm and breathed out heavily as he sensed the terrifying weakness of his body and Origin. "This¡­" He was unreconciled at the situation around him, his face utterly ugly as he turned to move even further away from the terrifying Beast that had nearly shattered his side from a single hit. But this was when his Origin trembled dangerously once more as before a groan could even escape his lips, yet another prepared attack rocketed his body and smashed into his back- this attack being filled with the essence of Extinction as it utilized half of all the essence of a Universal Hegemony! BOOOM! He was thrown back into the Chronos Storm he just came out of as while he spun madly while feeling the horrendous injuries spreading out, he could see the curvaceous figure of Love heaving her Blessed chest up and down, her eyes atari at him with a light of coldness and excitement as she seemed ready to watch his downfall. BZZZT! His mind buzzed with thoughts as the Chronos Storm continued to ravage his body, many things falling into ce as in a disbelieving fashion and sporting grave injuries, Gold couldn''t help but scream out. "You backstabbing whore¡­!" WAA! He tore through the Chronos Storm as his body was thrashed around madly, cursing the cold faced woman as before he knew it, a deadly w reached into the edges of the storm and grasped tightly onto his battered body- the w constricting around him as Cosmic essence erupted out to shackle his whole body to the point that even his hairs wouldn''t move! The three pairs of eyes that were as deep as the Abyss stared at him coldly as he was brought out of the Chronos Storm while being chained by Cosmic Essence. The eyes of Morrin, the Annihtory Observer were the only thing upying his mind as even the unruffled figure of Noahughing beside the terrifying Universal Rank Unit didn''t enter the disheveled and battered mind of the Hegemony of Gold! Chapter 215 - Universal Hegemony! A powerful Universal Hegemony chained by the essence of a Cosmic Dao while being held in the ws of a terrifying Rift Boss! It was a scene of incredulity as Gold''s expression was extremely dark, his body constantly undting with essence as he tried to break out of the hold he was put in. But it was all to no avail as Noah''s voice echoed out from the body of Chambeyne. "With your Origin heavily injured from multiple attacks and losing a significant portion of your life force, it is nearly impossible for you to break out of the ws of a Universal Rank Rift Boss." He was talking nonchntly as he craned his neck and stretched his muscles, seemingly preparing for something as Gold spat out before him. "What do you and that whore want? Did you offer her the Legacy in exchange for this?!" His eyes were constantly looking around for a way to escape, but Noah didn''t even reply as a secondter, Love''s figure appeared near them as she wrinkled her nose in distaste while looking at Gold. Noah came near the chained body of Gold as he began to shine with Incandescent light, not giving any answers as at this point...it didn''t matter to exin himself to a dead man! What he was focusing on right now was the powerful strength of his Universal Rank Rift Boss to continue crushing the body of Gold, constantly reducing his ability to resist as Noah cast the [Greed of the Usurper]. The ability that allowed him to steal the Realms of others! Gold had a foreboding feeling as he saw the light on Noah wash over him, the three pairs of Abyss filled eyes of the Rift Boss holding him turning even colder as it began to squeeze down on his body. BZZZT! Essence shed as bones creaked, the expression of Gold turning drastic as he felt his hurt Origin be washed over by a terrifying essence that sought to rip it apart from him! "Hold on¡­let''s talk about this!" At such a juncture, even an expert like this began to feel fear to their very core, Gold voicing out amidst his body bing constricted and ripped apart. Love watched this scene ying out with apprehension as her body floated just a bit further away, the light on Noah''s eyes remaining cold as he didn''t even bother replying to Gold! He simply focused on the feeling of the [Greed of the Usurper] as he slowly went past the defenses of the being before him and began to take his realm unto himself! Under the [Authority of the Dominator] that allowed him to take over the bodies of his Subjugated beings, it was thorough overtaking as the body would be like his own- both origin and soul. His actions here were reflected onto his main body that was floating in the skies of the Abyssal ne with Annalise and his other Units swarming around him protectively. His realm was that of Peak Gctic Fment as he held 100 Billion Gxies floating within his Origin, but now there was a grand change urring as while he stole the Realm of Gold, he could feel thin lines extending from his Gxies and connecting to each other, this process being extremely rapid as millions of lines were extending from gxies and connecting to others! It was the prerequisite for a being to birth their universal seed- to connect all of their 100 Billion Gxies as this would allow for them to call forth a Universal Seed which when it bloomed¡­one would have achieved a Universe within their Origin. THRUM! Essence raged madly as Gold screamed out in utter pain, feeling hundreds of thousands of years worth of work be pulled out right before his eyes and not being able to do anything under the oppressive might of the Annihtory Observer that clutched onto him. The scene was so brutal as Love backed away a few more meters from it, Noah''s body elevated up as it shone with a myriad of colors. He was doing something he never could have imagined a few weeks ago, something out of his wildest dreams as even now it seemed fantasy! One by one, the 100 Billion Gxies all became connected with thin golden lines, rings of essence releasing from Noah over and over again as deep within him, the gxies coalesced together to form a shimmering gold Universal Seed. A singrity! When this singrity bloomed¡­ BZZZZT! It was an explosion of mana as blue and gold suffused the surroundings filled with deadly Chronos Storms, a Universal Seed blooming within Noah''s origin as what came from it¡­was a wondrous and fantastical Universe! ''This feels..'' The feeling was one that Noah could hardly describe, feeling his body in the Abyssal ne and the body he was taking over through the Authority of the Dominator be suffused with a dominating essence that coursed throughout his muscles. His entire body vibrated with such strength and power that it astounded him, and how could it not be so when one held the strength of an entire universe?! When within his origin, a universe began to revolve smoothly as astounding waves of power began to rotate around him! "Universal Hegemony¡­" Noah spoke of his new rank as Love looked towards him with shock and disbelief, having never truly expected that this being would be able to steal the realm of others unto himself with such ease. The ws of the Universal Rank Rift Boss Noah brought released the sunken figure of Gold, his body being a mere shell of himself as he could barely breathe at this moment. Whatever wisps of power he held remaining faded, his body bing sucked into the nearby Chronos Storm as he was quickly ravaged by the deadly Cosmic Essence and he faded away into dust and nothingness. "And so a Universal Hegemony falls¡­" Noah spoke out lightly as his blue eyes released arcs of light, the death of Gold acting as a reminder to him that even within this rank, a being could still fall if they weren''t careful! Chapter 216 - Marks Of Antiquity! The surroundings calmed as the Chaotic storms of Chronos were the only things resounding throughout. Love watched with a careful expression as the figure of Noah undted with power at the same level as her- such a situation having many meanings as first and foremost...it meant a smooth pathway to the next stage of power. "Antiquity¡­" As she spoke these words, Noah''s figure actually raised his eyes above as he saw the appearance of golden runic symbols that began to shower down over his body and sink into his Origin freely, these Runic symbols seemingly being etched with an ancientnguage as Noah was somehow able to understand they read¡­{ANTIQUITY}! ''The Marks of Antiquity¡­'' He had a smile on his face as he thought about it, the many memories from thr Great Usurper long exining the stages of power and the intricacies within it as he knew what these ancient Runic marks represented. Reaching the stage right before Antiquity was the main prerequisite before one could start amassing them, with their existing a possibility to obtain them if an existence was able to design an artificial Dao and spread it to others before they reached Universal Hegemony. But who in history could design a Dao before they even achieved the rank of a Universe? It was an impossibility as Noah was finallying across these unique Marks that were the way to advance forward from the Universal Realm of a single Universe...and into the Universal Fment Realm of multiple Universes! This Universal Fment Realm where an existence had multiple Universes in their Origins...this was the stage where existences were titled Antiquities. As for these Marks of Antiquity that had began to fall onto Noah''s Origin after he reached the Universal Realm? Their details flowed before existence eyes freely! {Mark of Antiquity} :: The convergence of a unique authority in the form of a mark that can be branded onto the Gxies within one''s Origin. The marks can be collected when an existence of sufficient power influences arge number of existences, with their collection only increasing when one influences entire Universes...or even Cosmos.. Every Gxy branded with a Mark of Anriquity undergoes evolution to be a Dao Gxy, where one can designate a specific Dao into it. Unique enhancements and boosts are given to the Daos upying a myriad of Dao Gxies. To proceed from a single Universe and have the possibility of birthing a cluster of Universes, one must transform all the Gxies within their Origin into Dao Gxies¡­ ¡­! Ancient Marks of power that one only obtained after they reached a sufficient level of power and they influenced arge number of existences! Noah could feel tens of thousands of these golden crimson Marks of Antiquity descending onto him as he had the entire Sublunary ne of the Chaotic Universe under his influence- this actions actually giving him a few hundred thousand Marks of Antiquity, and they were still flowing into him at this moment. If he wanted to proceed towards the next realm where he would be titled an Antiquity, he had to amass 100 Billion Marks of Antiquity to brand his 100 Billion Gxies within his Universe...and only then could another Universe be born as he stepped on the path of a Universal Fment. That was the stage ahead. That was what someone like Love wanted to do! But it was truly hard to amass arge number of Marks of Antiquity unless one influenced multiple Universes and had them under their rule- and it was why many Hegemonies had not been able to advance forward in the chaotic Universe. ''They barely control regions of this single Universe, so how can they proceed forward?'' Noah had a smile as he thought about such a thing, thinking of his own methods of obtaining Marks of Antiquity to reach the next stage. There was another way to obtain them...and that relied on powerful and unique treasures that very few would even know existed or have the chance chancey their hands on. A treasure such as this...was something that the Great Usurper got his hands on! It was also what Noah used to entice the Hegemony of Love to work with him these past days- the Treasure that he showed her that was the pulsing multicolored heart! ''But getting it is the problem. It is in another Apocalyptic Dimension as after I obtain another portion of his Legacy from this current Apocalypse of Time Dimension...we will have to head there.'' The Treasure thaty in a whole different Dimension! Noah was actually looking forward to it as after achieving the Universal Hegemony Rank, he could move across Dimensions with ease as he now had even more possibilities. THRUM! He clenched his hands as he felt his overpowering strength and the Marks of Antiquity that continued to wash over him and enter his Origin, his figure turning around to gaze upon Love. The Annihtory Observer- Morrin, also turned his abyssal three pairs of eyes towards her as her figure seemingly trembled, but her eyes were firm as she turned them towards Noah and spoke out calmly. "What now? When do we head for the Treasure that will ensure Antiquity?" Even though she was faced with a Universal Rank Rift Boss and an existence that had just entered this rank through terrifying means, Live wasn''t thrown to fear as she had her Dao of Love still remind her that the man before her would not reap her life or go back on his word! If there was anything she believed, it was the power of her own designed Dao as such a belief caused Noah to smile. "Since we are already in this Apocalyptic Dimension where a Part of the Legacy of the Great Usurperys, we will grab that first before we go searching for that glorious multicolored heart that can even cause a Universal War- if not a Cosmic War to break out if anybody knew of its existence." THRUM! His words caused Love''s heart to skip a beat as she nodded, Noah patting the scaly figure of Morrin as his eyes turned to gaze at the depths of the Dimension they were in. There, another Legacy awaited him! Chapter 217 - Unfolding Legacies I In the Abyssal ne where Noah''s main body was moving with Annalise. Noah''s figure was elevated in the crimson skies as his chest thrummed with waves of power, showing a manifested Universe that was shining brightly with a Universe. Annalise was shaking her head in marvel while looking at such a scene as her voice rang out with awe. "So fast...I don''t even know if I should be surprised or scared at this point." Annalise felt like anymon sense she should have had when it came to rising through the Realms of power was destroyed because of her older brother, where she herself had ascended through the ranks at ridiculous speeds but Noah...he was just something else entirely! Annalise herself had achieved 100 Billion Gxies by now as she absorbed the billions of cores Noah was sending her way the past few days, and she knew how hard the task of connecting all 100 Billion to form a Universal Seed was as she was currently trying to do so herself. She was barely forming a few thousand connected Gxies a day as who knew how many years it would take before she could forge a Universal Seed? Yet Noah achieved Gctic Fment a few days back as barely two dayster...he now stood at Hegemony! She wouldn''t be surprised if he achieved the next stage above that with even less time as she shook her head to calm herself down, trying to speak out calmly as she looked at the Abyssal Beast Nests not too far away from them with tight eyes. "You should have unlocked more abilities with your inherent skills right? Let''s see then to use with these Beasts." Her eyes shined as the little sister wanted to see just how much further her older brother had grown, Noahughing lightly as he patted her head while ncing at the direction of the Nests where Abyssal Beasts congregated by billions. After he achieved Universal Hegemony, his skills were of course elevated by another mile as the unlocked abilities this time around were simply too fantastical! The Universal Rank was a milestone as its abilities were even more so. ||Mind Dominator|| :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future.

[The Emperor''s Universe] from the Mind Dominator Skill Tree, [Vector Maniption] from the Telekic Emperor skill tree, and [Universal Terror] from Ancient Mind! The details of these skills shone in gold as they reflected before Noah''s eyes. [The Emperor''s Universe] :: A reflection of your Universe is disyed outwardly through the force of your psyche. Within the bounds of this established Universe, those Subjugated can be called upon as unless you are killed, they will not perish. All Parameters of the Mind Dominator and their Subjugated are enhanced by 200,000% as any enemies face a reduction of their mana by half, Health and Mana Regeneration reduced by 50%, and a constant mental pressure that afflicts the status effects of Enfeeble, Slow, Disoriented, and Impotent.

While in the Universal Terror form, All Parameters are increased by 500,000%, All Damage Received is negated by 60%, and the resistance to All Daos and Laws is enhanced by 100,000%... "..." A truly beautiful set of descriptions, each one more stupendous than thest as they brought a smile on Noah''s face. He nced at the expectant face of Annalise as he nodded, his neck craning as he stretched while speaking out. "Then...let''s go see how they match against Abyssal Beasts." THRUM! His body buzzed with power that wanted to be tested, and he wouldn''t hold it back as under the control of Vector Maniption, he elerated his very molecules as he turned into a streak of light and instantly appeared thousands of miles away, standing above an enormous Nest surrounded by red mountains that held billions of Abyssal Beasts! The moment he arrived, he called out lightly. "Universal Terror." WAA! "The Emperor''s Universe." RUMBLE! The crimson skies of the Abyssal ne quaked as on this day, an existence of the Universal Rank freely released their aura, a massacre unlike any other about to ur as in the red skies, a Terror that had yet to be seen before unfolded along with a manifested Universe that would terrify Abyssal Beasts for the weeks toe. Chapter 218 - Unfolding Legacies! II The form Noah took when he cast [Universal Terror] was a unique one, his body expanding for thousands of miles as over nearly one third of his mana reserves were drained in a single cast. BZZZT! Power crackled madly thereafter as his form became clear, being that of a star shaped creature that seemed to have the body of a continent. This star form held glistening obsidian scales as it had a central eye spanning over a thousand miles, this eye glistening a glorious cerulean light as arcs of light emanated from it powerfully! After the cast of this terrifying form that had Noah berger than the size of multiple Large Worlds, there was the cast of [The Emperor''s Universe]. This ability that disyed Noah''s Universe into the outside world simply was a unique one simply due to the boosts it granted him, even if one didn''t bother of the debuffs that his enemies received. [...All Parameters of the Mind Dominator and their Subjugated are enhanced by 200,000%...] All Parameters! Attack! Defense! Health! Mana Reserves! Cast Speed, Attack Speed¡­.all Parameters that one had, they were enhanced by 200,000%! Such a boost caused the terrifying star shaped Universal Terror to bellow put grandly towards the Nest holding countless billions of Abyssal Beasts below, the winged bat-like creatures at the rank of Gctic Fment ncing up and shrieking fearlessly even under such pressure. In this region, the strongest were in the Gctic Fment Realm as Noah had yet toe across Abyssal Hegemonies- these existences being further into the depths of the Abyssal ne as when such existences moved, it would not be unexpected for you to face multiple at the same time. For such monsters, Noah wanted to face them when he had amassed an entire team of Universal Rank Units, moving about unhindered as he would achieve his goal of killing the quintillions that he needed to kill in this Abyssal ne! He nned to do this after he obtained another portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper from the Apocalypse of Time Dimension, where he would have Love take him to the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts under the control of the Ster Expanse whose leader he just killed. With the addition of clearing those three Rifts and getting his hands on multiple new Cosmic Daos, as well as the 52 Gctic Fment Rifts in Idle Mode that would give him a Universal Rank Unit every few days...it was only a matter of time. Of course before all of this, he had to also expand his number of powerful Subjugated Blessed- and he found no better targets than the Universal Hegemonies of the Ster Expanse that Gold used to lead. In the chaos that would unfold, Noah would y this and Love''s position to ambush and control these powerful beings as he fully began to suppress any experts he came across in this Chaotic Universe! The Sublunary ne was already his...and so would the Empyrean and Celestial nes in the future toe! He would do this and more until his Destiny could be changed. Until he went from a bleak darkness where his death was even now still unchanged after he achieved Universal Hegemony! There was a voice in the back of his mind that wanted to deny what Destiny was telling him, as none of it made sense to him even now as to what enemy he would have that he couldn''t escape from. But Destiny was one of the few things he couldn''t deny as he still epted it...and tried his best to move forward. Even though he was doing everything and couldn''t delve too far into the feature of Abyssal ne Expedition yet to face the Abyssal Hegemonies...he would settle for continuing to mow down those at the Gctic Fment Realm and below. By the tens of billions...he had no problem wiping them away and taking their loot! THRUM! His body zed with power at such a thought as while backed by [The Emperor''s Universe], Noah''s Universal Terror figure had its single eye crackle with and umte intense blue light as a secondter...this light was released as a terrifying beam of sma through sma Generation. sma that palpated mostly with the destructive essence of the Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity that heprehended from the Legacy of the Great Usurper thundered down towards the nest. This scene was especially majestic as it was that of a giant star form crackling with light releasing this vast beam that was initially over a thousand miles in size, but it seemed to be fanning outwards in diameter the further down it went as it entirely covered the bounds of the red mountains that held a cluster of Abyssal Nests with countless billions of Beasts! Annalise watched from the distance with her mouth opening with a wide ''o'', seeing this beam of smand down as a blinding light shed out at that moment that forced her to close her eyes. Her body unconsciously felt a gentle force wrap around her as she was pulled upwards a few thousand miles, her heart settling when she recalled this essence as her brothers. When a few seconds passed and she opened her eyes again¡­thendscape had changed. The red mountains that spanned for thousands of miles..rger than any world- all of them were wiped out entirely along with all the Abyssal Beasts near the region! An enormous cylindrical hole over tens of thousands of miles in diameter could now be seen, how deep it went being unknown as all of this...was just Noah generating sma from his eyes. If he cast truly deadly skills, they could be enough to even affect entire gxies- simr to what the Hegemony of Love had done when she entered into the Gctic Fment Rifts with his days ago! Annalise shook her incredulity as her body was dragged upwards close to Noah''s enormous figure, his voice ringing out in her mind with conviction. "With power like this, we can rapidly reduce the quintillions of Abyssal Beasts while being careful of any Abyssal Hegemonies¡­" The star shaped Universal Terror gazed further into the Abyssal ne as the singrity eye crackled with light, the path of blood continuing in this ne! Meanwhile, in the Apocalypse of Time Dimension. The figures of Noah and Love situated atop the stout figure of Morrin crossed the Chronos Storms of this dangerous Dimension,ing up on the location where another portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurpery in wait! Chapter 219 - Unfolding Legacies III The Apocalypse of Time Dimension was a vast location filled with the dangerous Chronos Storms, but it didn''t pose any dangers as long as one knew their way and had sufficient strength to traverse it. Under the aid of the Universal Rank Unit Morrin, Noah and Love had a smooth pathway across the dangerous space that was filled with seas of Chronos storms as in a few hours, they arrived where they needed to be! Atop Morrin, Noah nced at a barely visible portal at the very center of a small Chronos Storm, there being no obstacles aside from this as Noah thought about what he knew about this portion of the legacy from the memories of the Great Usurper. After he obtained the initial legacy, all those set up thereafter were mainly based on his own power as the obstacles, where if he reached a sufficient level of strength¡­he could obtain them with rtive ease. This particr portion of the Legacy would have required him to achieve above average strength as a Universal Hegemony before he obtained it, but the power of Morrin was far above this as a Rift Boss as Noah would be able to grab it now! "The Legacy Site will only ept the legacy holder so I''ll be back in a bit¡­" He spoke slowly as his body lifted off Morrin, Love looking towards him with questioning surprise as he spoke up once more. "Just stay with Morrin, he should keep you safe if anything urs." With such words and without looking back, Noah flew into the small Chronos Storm that hid a small portal as his Universal Essence wrapped around him protectively, his figure disappearing soon after as he left behind a frustrated Love. WAA! A sh of spatial lightter, and Noah opened his eyes to find himself in a unique Realm that was a nk whiteness, this whiteness gradually fading as it was gradually reced with a crimson bloody color that formed into the shape of a domineering looking figure! With a humanoid appearance and d in a bloody robe, his eyes were sharp as his sharp jaws were still discernible even with a thick unkempt beard- but his eyes released such an unyielding aura and power that one could not help but focus on them. Deeply ck just like his hair, the eyes that felt like they connected to the Abyss came tond on Noah as a residual minuscule portion of a soul that should have been the Great Usurper spoke out. "For you to be here so quickly after you epted my Legacy at the Neb Rank¡­is sheer impossibility." THRUM! The surroundings shook as Noah''s eyes became sharp, not expecting that even though this being was dead, whatever residual consciousnesses it held stillmunicated with each other even across Dimensions! But his heart was quelled soon after as the booming voice continued. "Impossibility is something I like, as what I did was considered impossible. If you can do something like this¡­the chance of you surpassing what I was able to do is certainly high." The crimson robe of the unyielding figure bellowed as it began to shine with crimson light, his voice continuing to emte out as he turned into a streak of light that shot towards Noah Origin and Soul! "This part of the Legacy will allow you to inherit abilities that will allow you to easily conquer other Dimensions when you begin your journey. When you ovee the ordeal of traversing into entirely different Dimensional Realities, these abilities will make it even easier for you to anchor yourself into these dimensions before you descend." WAA! The figure of the Great Usurper turned entirely into light as it sunk into Noah''s soul, memories flooding into him that consisted of new skills¡­and also an even deeper breadth of knowledge about Dimensions! For the scope of understanding, Noah was moving within the three nes of the Chaotic Universe that was part of a Cosmos that held dozens of simr Universes. Apart from this Cosmos¡­there were a myriad of unknown and unexplored Cosmos simr to the one he was in, these Cosmos being stretched out in a single Dimensional Reality. A single Dimensional Reality held an unknown number of Cosmos as the Great Usurper had forged abilities not to just move within the small nes of this current Dimensional Reality, but he could even traverse into other Dimensional Realities. Parallel Realities simr to theirs and yet different! This was the deeper breadth of knowledge that Noah was receiving along with yet another set of skills he could use apart from the initial ones like [Dimensional Travel], these ones allowing Noah to exert more of his influence across the Dimensions that he had to fulfill certain conditions of before he could descend on them. [The absolute skills Corruption of the Usurper, Malignant Madness, and Heretical Malediction have been obtained.] The voice echoed out in Noah''s mind and he saw the words before his eyes as he breathed in deeply, the voice of the Great Usurper ringing out for thest time. "The other portions of the Legacy await, with the treasures I left behind being enough for you to even be an average Antiquity. After that¡­you will have to start on the same path I began on, the path of Conquest that all those who wish for greater power have to traverse¡­" THRUM! With such words, the remaining portion of the soul faded as Noah found himself being pushed out of the small ne, his figure containing a light smile as he looked at the details of the new skills that seemed more like offensive debuff abilities. :: An ability capable of crossing the veils across Dimensions with the aid of immense mana or other sources of essence. Those under your protection will prosper, while those standing against you will fall. Those not under the protection of the Great Usurper gain the Corrupted Status directly on their souls as their Mana and Health Regeneration are reduced by half, the Damage Taken from other sources is increased by 10,000%, -10,000% To All Laws and Dao Resistances, -10,000% Comprehension and Assimtion Ability to all Laws and Daos, -50% Life Force, -50% Reduction in All Attributes, -50% Effectiveness of All Abilities, -50% Mana Reserves, -50% Movement Speed, -50% Attack Speed, -50% Cast Speed, -50% Efficiency of Mana Conduction and Usage, and 50% Chance of Skills Failing on Cast. :: An ability capable of crossing the veils across Dimensions with the aid of immense mana or other sources of essence. Malignant Madness allows your mental pressure to coil your enemies, reducing the strength of their Souls by half and granting the status effects of Fearful, Enfeeble, Maddened, Weakened, Impotent, Demoralized, Petrified, Debilitated, Wasting, Webbed, and Overwhelmed. :: An ability capable of crossing the veils across Dimensions with the aid of immense mana or other sources of essence. Once one remains in the presence of the aura of the Great Usurper without protecting themselves from it invading their Origins, a Malediction blooms within their souls as it will eventually devour them and cause the emergence of the Followers of the Usurper. Heretical Malediction causes a metamorphosis of the body and soul that is unchangeable once it has taken ce. The time of initial change is around 14 Cosmic Days. The more Followers of the Usurper, the greater the chance of sessfully descending onto restricted Dimensions. "..." Terrifying skills that were specifically designed to stretch into other Dimensions bloomed as their terrifying capabilities were enough to bring Noah''s heart to a stop! Chapter 220 - Nonstop! I Noah gazed over the new abilities as his brain began to buzz with possibilities, not expecting them to be so ridiculously overpowered as many more possible pathways opened up for him after he looked at these skills! It was only three abilities, but their usage was so vast because of the scope they covered. Entires, Gxies, Universes, Cosmos, or even entire Dimensional nes. They were abilities that could cover entire nes as the price for them to do that was simply too much! The sheer amount of Mana that Noah would need to be able to do this was unthinkable, and his heart ached when he browsed through the new memories of the Usurper that showed him exactly how he utilized these skills. Within his memories, the Usurper was trying to cross through from the current Dimensional Reality into a whole new one, but such a task needed an anchor from the new Reality as the Usurper received this Anchor through sheer force! He extended his aura into this Reality as he sunk it into a single Cosmos that was filled with Hegemonies...and he cast and upon this single Cosmos by sacrificing 2 of his forged Universes within his Origin. Yes! The price required for him to extend just the two terrifying abilities to cover a Cosmos was for him to burn two of his forged Universes, something that the current Noah couldn''t even entertain as his Origin only had the single forged Universe. Only after he became an Antiquity by entering the Universal Fment Realm could he even think about exploring other Dimensional Realities! After the Great Usurper cast these skills, he waited for people to forcefullye under his influence- this directly being the anchor to allow him to descend into that reality, or he would simply wait for the terrifying effects of Heretical Malediction to y out as after a few days, he would gain Followers of the Usurper from the quintillions of creatures that could not defend from his outstretched auras. "..." It was a terrifying Reality of the Great Usurper, Noah seeing that the actions of this being were ruthless as he did whatever he could to get his hands on what he wanted. This was also the case for the next portion of the Legacy that Noah wanted to get his hands on. It came from a path of deceit and lies as it wasn''t something that the Usurper could get his hands on at his level. It was the glimmering multicolored heart that Noah had shown an image of to the Hegemony of Love- the Treasure that was powerful enough to elevate one from the level of a Universal Hegemony and into Antiquity. The Great Usurper was only an existence at the level of Antiquity- and this treasure stemmed from a powerful existence that could easily take care of existences at this level. For him to get his hands on it...he had resorted to theft as he ensnared his authority on another Antiquity in a foreign Dimensional Reality, and he used this Antiquity to steal this treasure from the hands of his own people! Since those he stole from were truly powerful, they could have chased him across the Cosmos- but since he could traverse Dimensions...he was never caught. No matter how powerful beings were, as long as they couldn''t traverse Dimension like the Great Usurper could, they would not be able to catch him. These were part of the new memories Noah had just obtained from him. It showed him the stupendous level of power the Great Usurper had, and he was then all the more apprehensive when this being with all of his capabilities...still died. It couldn''t have been under the hands of any other Antiquities or even the stage or two stages above that- as none of those beings could chase him across Dimensions! So the enemy he had was terrifying enough that even with all of these factors...the Great Usurper still fell. It made Noah think about his own destiny of death from an enemy even he didn''t know of. His roiling destiny churned as when he gazed above him, the darkness continued to recede as more and more golden rays of light shone down, his heart aching as he saw his destiny was gradually changing- even though the final result had still not changed, but its certainty had reduced! An enemy he didn''t know of...and the enemy of the Great Usurper that had destroyed him. He couldn''t help but hypothesize and think if they were one and the same, and whether the path he was taking was sealing his death or truly helping him evade it. This question was answered by his very own destiny as when he saw the continued addition of golden rays of light amidst the darkness, he knew he was heading in the proper direction. Now...he would continue forging forward with the brand new set of skills on hand as he yed his ns a bit differently! His journey was different from all the transmigrated novels he read about before, where he didn''t go around facing waves of new enemies every time he broke through as he went on a brand new adventure of discovering newnds and people. He had broken through from the Gxy Rank and into the Gctic Fment Rank in a few days while he remained in the Empyrean ne, and he then schemed to work with a Hegemony as he used the features of his Idle Gaming System to quickly rise to the peak of this Realm as now just a few dayster...he had achieved Universal Realm! He was breaking through constantly, and he wouldn''t stop his path here to go on any random adventures or begin exploring the vast Celestial ne or even Universes outside of the Chaotic Universe he was in as he...didn''t need to! Other beings would have been forced to explore these regions as they imposed their influence on multiple nes and multiple Universes in order to obtain the precious Marks of Antiquity so they could try breaking through to the Universal Fment Realm and achieve Antiquity- but Noah had no need to do this. There was a treasure from the Great Usurper that could grant him all this and more as he would get this first and achieve the stage of Antiquity....and only then would he start exploring the multiple Universes of the Cosmos he was in as he would be a big boss that nobody could even defeat! Chapter 221 - Nonstop! II Be a big boss, and then go exploring! This motto seemed to be a good one for Noah as his figure came out of the small ne where he received the portion of the Legacy and weaved through the Chronos Storm,ing back to the figure of Morrin and Love as thetter looted towards him with a curious gaze, looking him up and down to see if anything had changed. Meanwhile, the huge Universal Rank Rift Boss rubbed its huge snout on Noah lovingly as he patted it with a smile before climbing on its back. "You got what you needed?" Love''s voice rang out sonorously as Noah faced this delicate woman and nodded with a smile. "I did. Nowes the multicolored heart that promises Antiquity...what started this cooperation of ours." He said these words with a smile as Love let out a harrumph, looking towards him to continue as he did just that. "The Treasure is in another Apocalyptic Dimension, this one of course far more dangerous as this portion of the Legacy is one of thest prepared for me. Reaching it now with my power, even with your addition...it will not be enough!" THRUM! The surroundings shook at his words as Love looked at him with a sharp expression. She looked at the beast they were on top of as well as Noah himself as she sighed, gazing at the chronos storms around them as she reluctantly spoke out. "The Beast we stand on releases an aura a bit more powerful than even the Rift Bosses that we face in the Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts. Your own power seems sufficient enough as with your control of this Beast...you could easily reap my life if you wish to. Yet you are still adhering to your promise." Her words were sonorous as her eyes locked with Noah''s unblinkingly, seemingly trying to get to the depths of his mind to understand him as she got nothing in return! "What I promise, I will keep to. The Treasure should be enough for both me and you to achieve Antiquity, maybe even extra remaining thereafter. But again, to get to it...we will need more power than this." Noah''s reply was calm as he looked at the Hegemony of Love. She sighed as her gaze remained locked onto him, ignoring his words as she spoke out once more. "You''ve taken the shape of an Elder of the Golden Destiny Conve and of Chambeyne...who are you, really? I can at least know this for the person I''m working with." With eyes shining with a light of conviction, Live spoke as she watched the figure before her look at her curiously. Then she watched on in shock as the form of Chambeyne began to change, the image of a devilishly handsome young man with eyes as blue as the sea appearing before her! She gazed into his eyes in a stupor as his voice echoed out majestically. "Noah Eckert. I look forward to our continued cooperation." His smile was dazzling as Love unconsciously shook his outstretched hands before she shook herself out of her reverie and let out a harrumph once more, her voice ringing out. "Just a looker that''s all. So what do you want to do to increase the power we have and be able to cross the other Apocalyptic Dimension?" At her question, Noah''s eyes shed with a burst of light as he spoke out. "For that...we need to clear the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts that are under the control of the Ster Expanse, and we need to defeat the Hegemonies within the Ster Expanse itself and make them into myckeys." RUMBLE! A terrifying set of words wereid out as a Grand nid itself out before Noah! The end goal of this n¡­was for him to procure powerful new Subjugated Blessed and Universal Rank Rift Bosses much faster. To do that, he had to add more than just Gctic Fment Rifts into Idle Mode- and there were three Universal Rank Rifts under the influence of the Ster Expanse that Gold used to lead in the Celestial ne. "What is the current situation now with the Hegemonies that were working with Gold?" Noah''s eyes were lost in thought as he asked Love. "I''ve been exchanging messages while you were gone. They are suspicious currently as Gold gave them the same coordinates I did when we lured him here, and they can''t find anything there nor contact him. I''ve only sent a few messages saying we are fighting in a dangerous Dimension and it''s hard tomunicate." Love''s eyes shone with Ingenuity as she continued. "Some are still surrounding the same coordinates waiting for news even now...if you want to make a move." "Oh?" Noah''s eyes shed at these words as he craned his neck, wanting to very badly get his hands on Universal Rank Subjugated Blessed. He would gain powerfulbatants and also get to have another mana battery to tap into¡­and putting them under his influence would mean the clearing of Universal Rank Rifts would be easier! "Good. Tell me about their abilities¡­" His voice trailed off as he and Love prepared, the coordinates of the Empyrean ne fresh on their minds as they prepared to ambush whoever Gold had called upon. ¡ª "Anna¡­we cannot just continue to stay here after all this time. Too many hours have passed since Gold called us here, and we can barely get in contact with Love!" Outside of the void of space where Noah had opened a Dimensional Rift to lure Gold into the Apocalypse of Time Dimension, a stout man was speaking towards another veiled Hegemony as his body released waves of a unique essence of lightning. The Hegemony he spoke to, Anna, nodded her head as the two of them were the only ones remaining in this position while waiting for word from Anna and Gold, another two Hegemonies having returned to their posts to resume what they were doing! "It''s just that¡­the coordinates end here and we sensed powerful spatial fluctuation when we arrived. I just¡­" The female Hegemony known as Anna sighed as she stared around them, her eyes showing signs of giving up when a momentter, they turned to her right as power began to emte from her carefully. To their right, spatial fluctuations bloomed as the figure of a gorgeous woman came out, the disheveled figure of Love breathing hard making her entrance as she seemed utterly exhausted, her eyes gazing at everything carefully as they showed relief when she found the figures of two Hegemonies before her. "Thank the stars you''re here¡­" Words of relief flooded from her as Anna and the male Hegemony standing beside her were shocked, their guard and apprehension were drawn fully down as unbeknownst to them, Love did note alone! Hiddenly, cerulean blue eyes shed as they cast [Mind Realm] and [Absolute Mental Istion Field] in this instant. Chapter 222 - Nonstop! III In the depths of the folds of space, Noah''s mind moved quickly as he always felt a thrill when he was able to catch existences that had lived for tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years off guard. He barely had any decades on his own life before he transmigrated, but he was now tangling with existences that had been cultivating and growing their strength for thousands of years...with his power winning over them as the feeling was something that could not be described! "Mind Realm. Absolute Mental Istion Field. The Emperor''s Universe." He felt his Origin crying out as it used nearly half of its mana in an instant, but the skills were prerequisites for what he wanted to do as they were cast. Bringing the enemies into a brand new space where they couldn''t leave or contact anybody andying down a manifestation of a Universe that heavily debuffed the enemies and granted him +200,000% to All Parameters! He was able to watch the expressions of the two Universal Hegemonies change in real time from the shock of Love''s appearance where they let their guard down and Noah''s skills bloomed, to the utter horror when they felt their Mana and Health reduced by 50% from the effects of "The Emperor''s Universe" as they were also afflicted by status effects. From shock to stupor and horror...but Noah wasn''t done. He hadn''t yet truly cast any offensive skills, but he had so many debuffing and disorienting skills that he wondered if his enemies could be defeated with a single flick of his fingers after he had demobilized them with so many debuffing abilities! For this, Noah turned to the new abilities he had just obtained from the Usurper. The terrifying abilities that were meant to be used to affect entire Universes or Cosmos for the purposes of them acting as anchors for one to descend unto new Realities...Noah wanted to test these abilities on the span of the small enclosed Realm against 2 Universal Hegemonies. He felt his raging mana regenerating little by little as he didn''t wait for it, chugging a Mana Potion as his mouth moved rapidly. "Corruption of the Usurper. Malignant Madness." ¡­! THRUM! The already tumultuous Realm around them began to shake and tumble. A crimson glow descended from Noah and covered everything, this glow carrying a terrifying pressure as it smashed into the two Universal Hegemonies like waves, Love feeling her own heart shaking even though she was designated as an ally and the abilities were not ripping apart her Origin! Noah only cast two of the three abilities he obtained, and this was mainly because the third one- Heretical Malediction, was one that caused a change in the Origin of others after 14 days. It was a terrifying skill to use for descending unto new Dimensional Realities, but he would be done with this battle in the next few seconds- not days! The effects of the Corruption of the Usurper wrapped around the already weakened enemies as their gazes of shock and horror then turned into fear. This was because in tumultuous waves of essence as they tried to find their footing, they found that their Mana and Health Regeneration were reduced by half, their Life Force reduced by 50%, a -50% Reduction in All Attributes, All Abilities, and Mana Reserves! A great deal of debuffnded on them as Malignant Madness also came down with its effects and granted them Fearful, Enfeeble, Maddened, Weakened, Impotent...just too many status effects. When the seconds passed and the scene cleared, the bodies of the two Universal Hegemony felt like ss that could easily be shattered, none of them having been able to mobilize any sort of defensive abilities as Noah could see their figures spamming under the pressure of too many debuffing skills! Before the battle could even begin, it was actually over. That was how ridiculous the skills Noah had collected were! That he was able to incapacitate two Universal Hegemonies from casting debuffing skills alone as when he looked at such a scene, he marveled with a smile while calling out lightly. "Ruler''s Emanation." His waves of mental power crashed down as he didn''t even cast any true offensive skills, just the debuffing abilities and the pressure of his mind descending down unto them as at this moment, the figures of the two Hegemonies could not even resist as their minds were dominated and¡­ [Subjugate.] A light of domination shed out as his eyes released arcs of blue light, Love watching this scene from a distance with stupor as two Hegemonies actually fell within seconds! --- The tides of time churned. Over an hour passed since Noah ambushed and Subjugated two Universal Hegemonies, and he spent this past hourbing through the vast memories of these beings that had hundreds of thousands of years on them! The memories were an extremely unique thing as when Noah went through them, it truly felt like he was within them as it gave him the feeling of having lived these hundreds of thousands of years himself. When he came to his own mind, he had to take a few seconds to remind himself that he wasn''t an old being that had lived the collective memories of over a million, but he had these experiences and lives as his eyes shed with a bright light. With their memories, the situation of the Chaotic Universe and the three nes within it were even more rified to Noah as he found out of all the Hegemonies from different factions currently moving in the Celestial ne, all of the Universal Rank Rifts and Gctic Fment Rifts under the control of the Ster Expanse that Gold used to lead and the other Expanses controlled by other factions¡­. A great deal of important memories flowed in Noah''s mind as he changed his ns ever so subtly, two Hegemonies being seen kneeling before him in the still active Mind Realm as they voiced out. "What are your orders, Master?" From Subjugating Star Rank beings to Gxy Rank, he now had existences at the Universal Rank kneeling before him as with a smile, Noah spoke. "Let''spletely Subjugate all the Universal Hegemonies remaining in the Ster Expanse faction...and then we shall add more Rifts into Idle Mode." WAA! His will spread out as the Subjugated Hegemonies nodded, their memories and positions being used as they would lead Noah to other Hegemonies and scheme to get them under his control much too quickly in the next few hours! Chapter 223 - I Control Universal Rift Bosses! I Apart from the Ster Expanse, the Celestial ne was further divided into the Virtuous Expanse and the Sundawn Expanse. The number of Hegemonies within these factions were many, and they all controlled the regions of the Celestial ne and the Dimensional Rifts within. Silently, Noah had already begun to take bites from the Ster Expanse as the first thing he did was wipe out its core leader, and he had now begun to subjugate the other hegemonies within it as aside from his cooperation with the Hegemony of Love, he had just Subjugated two more Hegemonies! One was known as Anna, the Hegemony of Light, and the stout male Hegemony with thunder and lightning crackling around his body was known as the Hegemony of Lightning. Putting these two beings, Love, and Gold- this was four of the five Hegemonies that Noah had firste across when he finished the Legacy Dao Dimensional Rift in the Empyrean ne! There was one more Hegemony, and Noah used the same method he had been using to find out this being''s coordinates and Subjugate him. Truth be said, things became extremely easy after he Subjugated the Hegemonies of Light and Lightning with the aid of love, because he then used them and love to find the remaining Hegemony as because they were allies...this being didn''t see anythinging! Barely a minuteter, he became the third Subjugated Universal Blessed under Noah as all three were currently following behind Noah respectfully. They were actually crossing the boundaries between the Empyrean and Celestial nes, Love''s figure beside Noah as she continued to sigh endlessly when she looked at the figures of her fellow Subjugated Hegemonies. "Just what ability allows you to put Hegemonies under your control¡­" She finally couldn''t hold herself back as she asked this question, not getting a reply as Noah only smiled lightly while they arrived in the Celestial ne. He didn''t n to pop off loudly and bring attention to himself yet, and he simply wanted to utilize the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts within the Ster Expanse to have them in Idle Mode! It would crazily increase his rate of Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals, and he would even start to collect Universal Rank Upgrade Crystals that would allow him to cause the birth of a Universal Fment Realm Unit in the future. The more upgrade Crystals...the more Universal Rank Rift Bosses he could control, and he would then be confident to traverse into the Apocalyptic Dimension to collect the treasure that could aid him towards Antiquity. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the starry space of the Celestial ne and the dense essence all around him. "There are still 4 more Hegemonies that you all left behind within your faction when you came down to the Empyrean ne, and they protect the region around the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts¡­" Noah spoke out naturally as the memories he had absorbed from multiple Hegemonies told him more about the Celestial ne and the Chaotic Universe that it seemed like it was his home for millions of years! Love sighed at his words as she nodded. "Same method? Or is the focus more on the Rifts now?" She asked lightly as even though Noah controlled three Hegemonies and had such power himself, she wasn''t fearful at all as the kiss they shared before while she utilized the Lesser Dao of Love still told her of Noah''s intentions towards her. The light he showed hadn''t turned murderous or Vile, so she continued to be veryfortable around him! "Straight to the Rifts first, the Hegemony of Lightning will just send a word in advance as we will deal with the four Hegemonies afterwords¡­" Since he already had three Subjugates Hegemonies, Noah didn''t want to do something that would cause any possible problems to arise in the Celestial ne before he had the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode. After he obtained the Rifts, he could move wildly in the Celestial ne as all he had to do was give himself time, and then bing stronger than the Hegemonies within the entire ne would be an easy thing. All of them were trying to collect Marks of Antiquity to elevate from their Universal Origins and into Universal Fments, but such a thing was too hard! Noah would overtake them all with the tools ced on his hands as before they even knew what was happening, they would just notice the [Corruption of the Usurper] spreading throughout the entire Chaotic Universe as Noah went on a rampage of Subjugations. Noah''s thoughts swam with such ideas as their figures tore across the space of the Celestial ne, conducting long distance teleportation as they quickly arrived near a star cluster that surrounded an enormous Rift tens of thousands of miles in size! BZZZT! It released waves of dark crimson essence as a glimmer of many vessels and interster warships surrounded it from all around, but Noah and his party paid attention to none of this as they proceeded forward into the Rift. "Hmm?" On a certain star near this Universal Rank Dimensional Rift, a Hegemony raised his head as even after he received word from the Hegemony of Lightning who was already Noah''s Subjugated, he was surprised to see the figures of a forefinger Hegemony within their party as they made their way towards the entrance of the Rift! "Anna, who''s the new guy you all are bringing?" He sent a mental message not to the Hegemony of Lightning, but the Hegemony of Light instead as he received a curt reply from her that made him lose all interest. "Just an exchange from the Sundawn Expanse." The Subjugated Hegemony of Light spoke simply as the expert guarding this Rift didn''t move a muscle, only watching as the figures of four Hegemonies disappeared into the entrance of the enormous pulsing Rift portal! WAA! A spatial fluctuation wrapped around Noah and the others as when they came to, they were in an entirely different Dimensional ne- the ne within a Universal Rank Rift as it had its own uniqueness. This one in particr had dense essence of Extinction that all those entering had to protect themselves from, and one could see vast glimmering Gxies all around them that stretched out endlessly. It was a Cosmic Dao Rift at the Universal level, and this one had Extinction as its specialty as it was known as the Universe of Extinction! Unlike lower leveled Rifts, Universal Cosmic Rifts were filled not with trillions upon trillions of lower eleven creatures, and one would alwayse across a minimum of 5 Universal Rank Rift Bosses across the different directions of this Universe of Extinction. Just a minimum of 5 existences! They had to defeat all of the Rift Bosses within as such a simple task normally took the Hegemonies a day if not days depending on their injuries every time they finished one Rift Boss. One must recall that a single Rift Boss had the strength of 10 normal Blessed! But Hegemonies could exceed average strength because of Cosmic and Grand Daos they collected as they could better match Rift Bosses, and this was the extent of results they could achieve. But Noah was different! "Morrin." RUMBLE! Essence overflowed as a Universal Rank Rift Boss was summoned, Noah''s eyes ncing at the vast glimmering Gxies before him and the auras of 5 Rift Bosses in different directions as he began to move! Chapter 224 - I Control Universal Rift Bosses! II Just when Love thought she understood this being she had aligned herself with, her video was entirely changed momentster. Little Usurper. Chambeyne. Noah Eckert. She didn''t know exactly what to call this being, but it was his power and unique abilities that constantly made her redefine what she knew! Capable of stealing the Realm of others? Sure, it''s crazy, but she epted it. But then he could also subjugate and control others with ease? Fine, she epted this too! But¡­ RUMBLE! How could his own battle power also be this ridiculous?! She asked this as she was currently staring at the Universal Rank Unit that Noah called Morrin, this enormous beast being apanied by an evenrger monstrosity the size of a world. It was an ancient looking star with a pulsing blue eye in the middle, this being the Universal Terror Form that Noah had taken after a huge burst of mana! Such a Beast was facing a Rift Boss that looked like an enormous world sized crocodile- a Beast that palpated with the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Extinction that was prevalent throughout this Rift. Yet Noah''s Universal Terror form and the figure of Morrin were ripping this terrifying Rift Boss apart that no gaps were left behind for Love to even attack! The life force of Rift Bosses was extremely vast, and this was even more so for those at the Universal Rank as they had the reserves of an entire Universe. Yet the Primal-looking star form of Noah with a pulsing blue eye released terrifying beams of sma that were filled with the Cosmic Essence of Tenebrosity, the defenses of the crocodile shaped Rift Boss being torn with its blood dying the nearby Gxies red, its life force rapidly reducing! It was a rate of hunting a Rift Boss down that Love hadn''te across before during all the time she dove into such Rifts, and there was only one exnation for why just Noah and Morrin were ripping apart a Universal Rank Rift Boss with ease. Love looked at the pervasive red essence that permeated and overshadowed the essence of Extinction that was within this Dimensional Rift. ''Corruption of the Usurper and Malignant Madness, is it?'' She recalled the words Noah had spoken after they met the first Rift Boss in this Universe of Extinction, these being the two abilities that exined how the defenses of Universal Rank Rift Bosses were being ripped apart as if they were paper! OOOOOOH! The obsidian scales of the crocodile shone with a magisterial light as if felt its life threatened, releasing its most powerful waves of power as in response to it, the figure of the draconic winged Morrin appeared before its eyes as a rumbling voice echoed out. [Breath of Old]. WAA! A terrifying sh of crimson light filled the essence of Annihtion erupted from the three winged Unit, a breath with starry abyssal light releasing from it and smashing into the figure of the Rift Boss as space became torn and ripped apart, the figure of the Rift Boss thrown back as it smashed into a nearby Gxy and caused it to explode into a supernova! "..." The life force of the Beast ended there as a golden light shed that signified loot being dropped, waves of mental essence releasing from Noah and grabbing all the cluster of golden lights as his figure shed towards another direction, his voice echoing out. "Two Rift Bosses remain. You join the Subjugated Hegemonies to finish one, me and Morrin will take care of the other!" ¡­! His voice entered her mind after he already disappeared in another direction, Love shaking her head with disbelief as her figure also turned into a streak of light, going towards the direction of the Hegemonies of Light, Lightning, and the third Hegemony he had Subjugated that was known as Zion. She and these three went to face a single Universal Rift Boss while Noah and his Unit took the remaining one, the terrifying battles that shattered the myriad of Gxies within this Universe of Extinction only taking another 15 minutes before they ended. All in all, the Universal Rank Dimensional Rift took about 45 minutes to clear- a speed that Love would have thought was a fantasy just days ago! But here she was watching the formation of a Blue runic magic circle that would teleport them out after less than an hour, her gaze once morending on the figure of Noah as she was forced to reevaluate him once more. ''Just what is he¡­'' It was a question she didn''t think would get an answer any time soon, and Noah''s gaze seemed to be taken by something else entirely as he stared nkly before his eyes with a smile. Of course, he was looking at the message that stated a beautiful reality! [The Cosmic Dao Dimensional Rift of the Universe of Extinction is not avable in Idle Mode.] It was the addition of a Universal Rift that would give him the Cosmic Dao Crystals of Extinction among other things every 45 minutes- it was a source of power that would elevate his strength even further as he would charge to obtain the rest with just as much speed. "Let''s go!" He voiced out grandly as their figures faded into the magic circle and appeared outside of the entrance of the Dimensional Rift, drawing the surprise and awe of all those nearby as the Hegemony from the Ster Expanse faction couldn''t help but float over! "How¡­" His expression of surprise and shock couldn''t be helped as less than an hour had passed on a Rift that would normally take a day or more as Hegemonies rested and regained their strength from one Rift Boss to another. Love nced at the shocked Hegemony as she voiced put slowly. "Spread your essence out and cover us from prying eyes first¡­" She looked like someone ready to spill secrets as the guarding Hegemony rapidly acted and waved his hands to cause a wave of darkness to wrap around them. "So? How did you all clear this in such a short tim-" THRUM! [Mind Realm]. [Absolute Mental Istion Field.] The poor Hegemony that trusted his ownpatriots didn''t even know what happened before the zing Blue eyes of the Mind Dominator ovepped his eyes and he fell into the ranks of another one of Noah''s Subjugated! WAA! The ck light that just covered them faded as everything seemed normal, their figures shooting to another direction as Noah relentlessly went towards another Universal Rank Rift. Chapter 225 - I Control Universal Rift Bosses! III When a seamless routine is established and every single step is carried out to perfection...you can achieve your ns to the most optimal level of sess. This was exactly what Noah did after he finished with the Universe of Extinction and obtained his fourth Subjugated Universal Rank Blessed, going on to do the same with the second and third Universal Rifts under the territory of the Ster Expanse! No surprises popped up, no sudden unknown challenges. The second and third Universal Rifts were known with the titles of the Universes of Annihtion as they both were Cosmic Dao Rift that dropped these Dao Crystals of Annihtion. Noah did exactly what he did on the first Universal Rift as he battled with terrifying Rift Bosses that were assimting these Cosmic Daos, but his own power and the power of his only Universal Rank Unit along with the Subjugated Hegemonies was even more terrifying! When he released the just overpowered debuffing abilities of [Corruption of the Usurper] and [Malignant Madness], the enemies within the Rifts were weakened to such a great extent that they could only fall. This granted him a beautiful 45 minute average on all three Universal Rank Rifts, on top of being able to turn all the Hegemonies that controlled the Ster Expanse of the Celestial ne into his Subjugated Blessed silently! This granted him 7 Universal Rank Blessed that were buffed from the Guider abilities of his [Mind Dominator] skill tree, and it also represented 7 new batteries that he could borrow mana from. Even though they finished all of these unbelievable feats in just a few hours, Love was still looking towards Noah''s direction in a daze when she thought of the true meaning of what he had just aplished! It had now been over an hour since they cleared the third Universal Rank Dimensional Rift, and Noah''s figure was floating serenely in the skies of the headquarters of the Ster Expanse- a huge Realm hundreds of thousands of miles in size that was filled with dense essences of a myriad ofws and daos. It was a unique location found by the Hegemony of Gold and others, and Noah just freely teleported into it after he finished his mission as this was where he chose to rx! "You really just took over one of the factions of the Celestial ne just like that¡­" Love''s expression was in a cute daze as she processed just what Noah had done. It was too effortless...too easy! So easy that she was scared for what this being would do next! Her dark hair glimmered as she gathered her thoughts and nced at hisid back figure that was floating in the skies freely. "Just what will you be doing now?" "Hmm?" The question caused Noah to break from the System Interface he was staring at all this time as he gave a simple reply to Love. "Just rxing for now. Take a breather, Love. We''ve worked hard these past days as we deserve a few days of being Idle." ¡­! A few days of being idle! This was all that Noah needed to do as the Dimensional Rifts he had added in Idle Mode would do everything else for him! Of course he wasn''t going to fully be idle, with his main body having left the Abyssal ne after he had shockingly hit the quota of 1 quintillion Abyssal Beasts dead, and he was getting close to the regions where Abyssal Hegemonies had their auras spread out wildly. That was 1 quintillion...out of 100 that he had toplete to entirely clear the Abyssal ne. But it was a great step forward as it meant Noah had devoured the souls of far too many beings, his current mental strength being something that far surpassed even the power that Morrin could disy! While Annalise took some time to absorb the Universal Rank Cores Noah had begun to receive in Idle Mode, his main body would be delving into the other features of the Idle Gaming System and collecting even more of the crucial loot he needed. He would mainly be focusing on the Infinite Crucible that allowed him to repeat endless waves of Beasts- where this time he wanted to reach Waves that would even release Universal Rank Rift Bosses! He would release the debuffs of the? [Corruption of the Usurper] and [Malignant Madness] as he saw just how many Rift Bosses he could handle and what the Treasure Trove prize would be for these waves. This would guarantee him a steady stream of Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals as well as Universal Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals as with his calctions...he saw that a period of a few days would be enough for him to have a full team of 14 Universal Rift Bosses! On the side of his Daos, the Grand Daos of Vastness, Destruction, Devouring, Destiny, and Incandescence were among the many that became fully assimted under him, the loot from the Gctic Fment Rifts not being a joke as he had tens of thousands of these Dao Crystals to hand out to his Subjugated Blessed and have them assimte these Daos as well. The full assimtion of Grand Daos gave the stupendous {Authority} of these Grand Daos, a unique authority that granted +10,000% To All Damage, Defense Parameters, or a varying amount of percentage boosts depending on what Dao it was. An example was how the Dao of Vastness multiplied Noah''s mana pool by multiple times as its boost while the Grand Dao of Destruction granted Increased Destruction Damage for even more offensive abilities when Noah cast his skills. His Cosmic Daos were rising much slower as he didn''t have a ridiculous clear time or multiple of such Rifts added to Idle Mode as he was still in theprehension stage for all of them! Such a scene was further reinforced when his eyes nced back at the Idle Gaming System Interface and he saw the golden shining Universal Rank Rifts. The color of incandescent gold made Noah want to see just what loot he would be getting hourly and every day from now on! Chapter 226 - I Control Universal Rift Bosses! IV Noah''s figure floated serenely in the skies of the headquarters of the Ster Expanse as his eyes were locked onto the Idle Gaming System Interface. Even though only an hour had passed, Noah couldn''t help but click on the radiant golden Universal Rank Rifts on Idle Mode! [+150,000 Idle Exp], [+50 Cosmic Dao Crystals Of Extinction], [+100 Cosmic Dao Crystals Of Annihtion], [+45 Universal Cores], [+30 Random Universal Dao Unit Shards], [+2,100,000 Universal Rank Upgrade Crystals] [+13 Universal Rank Equipment], [+3 Universal Rank Skill Books], [+50,000 Dao Essence Revitalization Potions], [+100,000 Mana and Health Potions],[+10,294,725 Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals]... The glorious light of golden colored words that represented stupendous loot crossed over his eyes. Cosmic Dao Crystals of Extinction and Annihtion that would give him two new Cosmic Daos, Universal Cores he could use to produce more Universal Rank experts...and then there was the most important loot that Noah could not take his eyes from! It was the Random Universal Dao Unit Shards! Looking at nothing else, one just had to look at the Random Universal Dao Unit Shards! 30 every 45 minutes from the three Rifts...when Noah did the math, he would get this many Shards 32 times in 24 hours. That was 960 Random Universal Unit Shards in a single day as every 100 represented a Unit he could summon...guaranteeing him 9 Universal Units within a day! That was how ridiculous the Idle Gaming System was! When this day also ended, Noah would have enough Upgrade Crystals to upgrade 4 normal Gctic Fment Units into two Universal ones, granting him a total of 11 Universal Units in just a single day. "...." A few more hours into the second day, and all Unit slots would be filled with Universal Rank Rift Bosses! Even Noah was speechless when he realized all of this. ''Am I...am I actually this overpowered?'' His eyes released blue arcs of light at such a reality as after he jumped through multiple realms in a matter of days, he would now have within his grasp a dozen Universal Rift Bosses in just a single day...Rift Bosses that he could utilize to brave an Apocalyptic Dimension to obtain a treasure that would once again allow him to achieve another realm of power. A Realm higher than any of the beings within this Chaotic Universe, and more than likely higher than any of the beings within the cluster of Universes that surrounded the one he was in! He was bing stronger than any of the beings within the nearby Universes when he had barely explored any of them, being a unique position as when he set out to explore...he would be the big boss that was simply moving to exert his influence. ''I like it¡­'' He smiled deeply while he continued to float in space, watching the minutes and hours wind down as beside him, the Hegemony of Love continued to gaze towards him with disbelief. --- The tides of time continued to churn forward, none of the Hegemonies in the Sundawn Expanse and the Virtuous Expanse of the Celestial ne having any idea that the third power they had beenpeting with this entire time had already been devoured by someone else so quickly. After one assimted thew of fate and the Grand Dao of Destiny, it was extremely hard for their actions or their effects to be discerned, and this was exactly the case right now as it allowed Noah to move undetected even as he silently threatened the authority of all the powerful existences within the Chaotic Universe and the myriad of Universes with the Cosmos it was in! The hours passed silently as nothing unexpected urred, Noah''s main body delving into the Infinite Crucible with Morrin as he cleared the waves up until they met a raging Universal Rift Boss, leaving with a Treasure Trove that granted a gorgeous amount of loot after the advancement stopped...and he then repeated the waves once more. After two hours passed, Noah was able to obtain the required 100 Unit Shards to call forth a Unit of this level, and he did just that as a terrifying Beast termed [Universal Annihtory Crocodile] appeared before him! Some hourster, another 100 Unit Shards were collected from the loot of the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts as he summoned a Beast termed [Guardian of the Abyss]. Every time he gained a new Universal Rift Boss, he was able to withstand even more waves in the Infinite Crucible and obtain even better treasure troves, the Gctic Fment Rank Upgrade Crystals and the Universal Upgrade Crystalsing to him at even greater speeds as it was a positive feedback effect to get him more Universal Units even faster! Noah could hardly believe the rate of advancement himself as he continued to watch the unfolding reality y out for a whole day. Just a single day! "..." His main body then stood in the waiting room where one could see the entrances to the Tower of Champions, Dimensional Store, Shattered nes, and the Infinite Crucible as he currently stared at the sight of 14 terrifying auras before him. Each of them were miniaturized to be norger than 20 meters, but they could grow to be asrge as worlds, with some even having the capability to grow asrge as Gxies due to their own unique traits! They were 14 Universal Rank Rift Bosses that ranged from horrifying three-winged Dragons like Morrin to something like the [Universal Annihtory Crocodile], all the way to [Devouring Qilin] and [Ster Sphinx]. Beasts of different sources of strength that showed their own assimted Cosmic Daos, and here they stood before Noah for him tomand as he wished! ''All of this...achieved in a day.'' Noah shook his head at such a fantastical reality as when he looked at the vibrant essence released by the 14 Universal Rift Bosses, he saw countless possibilities. Possibilities of quickly achieving the next stage of power and clearing the Abyssal ne for whatever reward it held! Chapter 227 - Seeking The Primordial Heart! I "What ridiculous things are you doing now?" Annalise''s clear voice rang out as she held a Universal Core in her hand, the core looking like a glimmering crystal that shone with Billions of Gxies. Absorbing such Cores would grant one all the Gxies they melded until they reached 100 Billion, and the action of connecting all of the Gxies in order to cause a Universal Seed to bloom was the most arduous thing as it required far too many Universal Cores to achieve! One could not even think about breaking from the Gctic Fment Realm into the Universal Realm with mere Gctic Fment Cores, and the Universal Cores that were required were too little in supply as the number of Universal Hegemonies was abysmally low in the three nes of the Chaotic Universe. But Noah could change this with his ridiculous rate of loot collection, the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts granting him thousands of Universal Cores that he had been giving to Annalise in order for her to break through into the Universal Rank! It was a slow process, and she was currently absorbing two Cores in her hands as she asked Noah just exactly what was happening now for him to continue getting loot as ridiculous as the ones she held. They had returned to the small Ethereal Realm where they began after the recent trip to the Abyssal ne, and they weren''t alone as beside Annalise, the figure of the Queen of the Ethereal Realm that Noah had saved weeks ago from an assassination was looking at him and Annalise with an expectant gaze as she absorbed Gctic Fment Cores. They were all rxing in a throne room of the renovated castle that was thergest in the Ethereal Realm, Noah currently lyingzily on the throne where Rose would normally sit as he took another bite of a Phoenix Drumstick he got from the Dimensional Store! He replied between his bites as his eyes glimmered with a bright luster. "I''ve gotten nearly all of the portions of the Legacy of the Great Usurper, only two more remaining as the first one is a treasure that will elevate my Realm even higher, and thest is a set of techniques the Usurperid out right before his death¡­" ¡­! Astounding words left his mouth as Annalise and Rose nonchntly nodded, these girls not knowing the deep history of the Usurper or what importance his abilities or treasures held! "Just now I''ve been able to collect 14 Units at the Universal Rank, which gives me enough power to confidently get the Treasure portion of the Legacy and the techniques, and either during the same time or after...I''ll be clearing the Abyssal ne to see what lies behind all this¡­" He spoke of Grand ns lightly as his little sister and the little Queen nodded, Annalise being the one toment thereafter. "We can take Rose next time to the Abyssal ne. She''s been cooped up in the Ethereal Realm for too long¡­ah!" Rose pinched Annalise before she could finish her words, not thinking something she had mentioned to her earlier would casually be brought up by her now! Noahughed at such a scene as it was one of the very few moments that would take his mind off of the impending future, off of an impending destiny that even with all the ridiculous and overpowered boosts, it was still a question on whether he could truly avoid it. "Don''t worry, we''ll all go when the timees to wipe out the Abyssal Beasts." WAA! As if it was the mere mention of going on a pic! As if it was a trip to the beach! Towards a mission to wipe out dozens of quintillions of creatures, Noah spoke of it lightly as when he began...it was bound to be a terrifying ordeal! ''But first...the Treasure lying in wait in the Apocalypse of Ruination Dimension.'' His eyes released their blue arcs of light as his thoughts shifted to his next goal. As his main consciousness stayed with his main body and spent time with Annalise and Rose, half of this massive soul that had devoured trillions of Abyssal Beast Souls was still using [Authority of the Dominator] to take over the body of a Subjugated Blessed, Noah being able to disy his power fully as nearly all of his power stemmed from his mind! This portion of his consciousness remained with the Hegemony of Love in the stronghold of the Ster Expanse faction of the Celestial ne, the figure of Noah rising and looking towards Love as he stretched while speaking out calmly. "It''s time." WAA! His words caused the hearts of Love to flutter as she rose up quickly, her eyes not helping but release her wanting for this next adventure as it involved the thing Noah had promised her all this time...a treasure in the form of a Heart that she didn''t think any beings even knew about not just in the Chaotic Universe they were in- but even in the whole Cosmos! "A Primordial Heart¡­" She uttered the words from the memory Noah shared with her as he nodded calmly, his voice resounding out. "Yes. A Primordial Heart. A stupendous treasure that stems from a creature known as a Primordial Beast, an existence that devours Dimensional nes, Universes, and Cosmos for sustenance." ¡­! "It''s a Beast that cannot be beaten even by an Antiquity, the Great Usurper only getting his hands on this small portion of a Primordial Heart from another Dimensional Reality where he stole it from the treasure vaults of a great power and then disappeared from that reality!" Yes! This was the wondrous treasure that awaited Noah in a Dimensional ne called the Apocalypse of Ruination Dimension, a treasure that even Antiquities had a hard time grasping their hands on. Yet the Great Usurper was an outlier as not only had he gotten it, one would wonder why he hadn''t used it all for himself to raise his power to the utmost...or why he would face death not too long after. All of these were mysteries Noah had no answer to as his blue eyes flickered with light, showing an astounding level of firmness as he nced at love and spoke gloriously. "Let''s go get our hands on a treasure that even those at Realms above us fight for." ¡­! WAA! Chapter 228 - Seeking The Primordial Heart! II The Apocalypse of Ruination! This was the Apocalyptic Dimension that the Great Usurper hid the Primordial Heart, and it caused one to question just what Ruination was. Such type of knowledge was extremely rare to know, but Noah knew all he needed about it from the vast memories of the Great Usurper that he had continued to receive. Ruination was a unique Cosmic Dao that stood above many others, and it was unique in that very few beings could evenprehend it, and it was a dangerous essence that if you didn''t have theprehension of¡­it would eat away at your origin and soul no matter if you were a Universal Hegemony or a Universal Fment Antiquity! This essence was extremely important across Universes and Cosmos, even across Dimensional Realities themselves as this essence was the material that surrounded the countless number of Cosmos within a single Reality. Inside of normal gxies, there is a ster space littered with stars, ck holes, quasars, and other myriad of ster objects. Inside a normal Universe, there were tens of billions of gxies that were surrounded not by space, but by a chaotic void! You then have a Cosmos that contained dozens of Universes that are stacked together in circr boundaries, and these Cosmos are enormous objects that float serenely not in space or a chaotic void¡­but they float in a Sea of Ruination! That was how unique this essence was! It was what surrounded the myriad of Cosmos in a Dimensional Reality, and it was also the thing that prevented others from ever leaving their Cosmos and exploring their Reality as unless they hadprehended the Cosmic Dao of Ruination or had other unique means, their origins would be destroyed in seconds or minutes in the Ruination Sea depending on their power. Very few existences had the capability to traverse and explore the Sea of Ruination and all the treasured Cosmos, treasures, or unique things that could be born in a Reality. But the Great Usurper was an exception to this as even though this being shockingly had this Cosmic Dao Comprehended and could traverse the Ruination Sea, he forged the abilities to traverse across Dimensional nes and Realities as even if one couldn''t leave their Cosmos to explore their Reality, they could jump onto the Cosmos of other nes and Realities! This was what Noah would be capable of doing with a level of ease when he achieved Antiquity, where he would be able to traverse and explore vast new possibilities even though he didn''t have anyprehension in the Cosmic Dao of Ruination. Taking a step into this Dao was nigh impossible, and many existences had to try for millions of years before they seeded, or find unique treasures that allowed them to make the initial jump into this Dao. The dangers of Ruination was why Noah waited until he had all 14 of his Units at the Universal Rank, and now he could set off towards this Apocalyptic Dimension while evading the ravages of Ruination within it until he arrived at the position where the treasure known as the Primordial Heart was hidden. In the stronghold of the Ster Expanse, Noah stood side by side with Love as his body was covered by a unique blue undtion of mana. From his origin that was a vast Universe, a tremendous amount of force erupted out as the higher the realms he achieved, the more he could freely use the abilities of the Great Usurper. He knew that when he achieved Antiquity and became just as strong as this being, he would be the one to take up the name and mantle of the Great Usurper. ''I will dly embrace the title when that timees¡­'' Noah''s eyes shed strongly as he believed as such from all the rewards he had received from the Great Usurper, the undtion of power within his body shooting out and forming into a huge crimson rift as he silently cast ! WAA! A rift that spanned a whole mile ripped apart the skies and appeared before them, pulsing with a deadly crimson light as it would lead them to an Apocalyptic Dimension that had whirlwinds and typhoons of Ruination coursing through its space randomly! The Great Usurper had left behind the memories of which paths to take that posed the least dangers, but it required one to both be lucky and extremely strong as they would have to use vast reserves of essence to utilize the Cosmic Dao Essence of their Cosmic Daos in order to withstand the essence of Ruination if they ever came across it. If one entered this Apocalyptic Dimension unprepared and they were hit with just a few Winds or Storms of Ruination, they would find their mana reserves drying up as when they came across the essence of Ruination again, they would not be able to help but watch as their origin crumbles under its relentless power. Noah nned to use his Units freely as their essence would protect him and Love as they crossed the Apocalyptic Dimension, and he would switch from one Unit to another whenever one was exhausted as they would proceed forward! "Let''s go!" With all preparations done, a light shed as Noah called forth a [Universal Annihtory Crocodile],nding on its glimmering abyssal scales that shone with the light of billions of gxies as Love looked below her with a stupor. "What''s this? Where''s the three-winged dragon you call Morrin?" Her eyes were rmed and filled with surprise as Noah pulled out another terrifying Universal Rank Rift Boss out of nowhere, but his gaze was impassive as his eyes only focused on the pulsing rift before them. "Just another summon. Get on." Hismanding words rang out as Love harrumphed as her feetnded on the terrifying beast that floated into the pulsing crimson rift right away. SHAA! They disappeared into it silently as the dark aura of the Universal Annihtory Crocodile covered them, seamlessly passing through the spatial distortion as in a matter of seconds, they arrived onto a new Dimensional ne. An Apocalyptic Dimensional ne of Ruination! Chapter 229 - Seeking The Primordial Heart! III The sound of raging winds and storms howled in their ears the moment they arrived, Noah carefully spreading his aura out as the initial spot they were teleported into was at the edges of the Apocalypse of Ruination. The color crimson covered everything throughout, the shocking scene of space ruptured and ripped apart being seen all around as danger could be felt on every corner. Not too far away from them, swirling typhoons blood red in color could be seen swirling dangerously, and winds of Ruination would randomly ravage past certain regions as they left behind torn spaces that constantly tried to heal! A gasp could be heard from Love as she found herself unconsciously stepping closer to Noah, the vibrant essence of the Universal Annihtory Crocodile creating a protective circle around them as Noah leaned down to pat the Universal Unit, sending his thoughts into it for even closermunication as they began to slowly float forward. "The mere winds of this Cosmic Essence could rip apart the defenses of an average Hegemony. We''ll proceed carefully as even if we are unlucky enough to run into them, the summon below us will take the brunt of the damage." The terrifying howls of ruination storms were the only thing that met Noah''s quiet words, Love nodding as her figure buzzed with essence to instantly erupt if need be. "And when this summon bes exhausted?" Love spoke carefully as she hoped to hear that they would have arrived at wherever Noah was leading them by then, but his answer was something else entirely! "Then we''ll switch to Morrin and the others, we have a long way to go before we can reach the coordinates." ¡­! His words caused shock to reverberate in Love''s heart as they proceeded forward silently, Noah only having a singr goal in mind as he followed the mental map in his mind and tried to steer away from the clusters where he saw the crimson essence of Ruination leaking out dangerously. They proceeded forward with no issues for over 20 minutes as Noah moved with care, but the roar of the Universal Annihtory Crocodile echoed out around this time as its senses felt imminent danger, its body lighting up brightly as yet another shield of its essence erupted to envelop Noah and love, a storm of Ruination instantly descending in the region they were in! WAA! Its crimson light pulsed with danger as Noah''s eyes became increasingly somber,municating with the Crocodile as it used up over one-fourth of its mana every few seconds to fight off against the raging crimson essence around them while its body shot forth at rapid speeds to escape it. Even while protected, Noah and Love could still feel the dangers of the essence around them as under the baleful roars of the Universal Annihtor Crocodile, they passed through the storm a few secondster. Noah checked the Origin of the Unit as he saw more than half of its mana reserves were eaten up, his response being swift as his own essence moved and called out a colorful phoenix that shone with verdant mes! It was another Universal Rift Boss termed [Phoenix of the Verdant Void], Noah''s figure swiftly using his essence to wrap around Love and push her onto the beast as he patted the Crocodile below his feet while proceeding forward, giving it Mana and Health Potions on top of Essence Revitalization Potions. Now, there were two Units summoned outside as one healed while another was there for any unexpected movements! This was Noah moving with utter care to make sure all dangerous possibilities were covered, their figures now proceeding forward with two Units as this was how a few hours went to pass in the Apocalyptic Dimension of Ruination. They would delve deeper and deeper into it as they came across deadly Winds of Ruination and Ruination Storms, the Units Noah had summoned protecting them with their vast mana reserves and stupendous abilities as Noah would asionally switch one or two for others if they ever became too injured. This continued for over two hours as they forged forward, the Apocalyptic Dimension being filled by nothing but the deadly storms of ruination as any life forms within it had long since perished.? As Noah traversed through this dangerous ne, it wasn''t lost to him that as long as he had this Cosmic Dao of Ruinationprehended, he could be passing all of these areas with utter ease! ''But gainingprehension in such a Cosmic Dao requires too many years or too specific treasures¡­but I can follow the same path the Usurper took and see if in a matter of weeks or months, this can be achieved!'' His thoughts burned with thoughts of more power as after two hours, they were getting close to the location where the Usurper hid the Primordial Heart! "Almost there!" He bellowed out amidst the raging ruination storm nearby as Love nodded with a pale expression, both she and Noah having had to utilize their own essence along with the units to get past a perilous storm not too long ago. But Noah''s eyes lit up at this time as up ahead, he could see a light that wasn''t crimson with his aura, and it shone with a golden luster as gradually, a glimmering golden temple could be seen! "Faster!" He urged Morrin below him as the now recalled Universal Annihtory Crocodile also released waves of power while urging their figures forward. After a perilous journey and the near deaths of a few Units, they came upon a gradually erging golden Temple that was the only thing amidst the destruction that stayed serene and untouched! The storms of Ruination were seemingly evading this Golden Temple, Noah''s heart buzzing excitedly as the Units below him stepped in its affected region and they finally felt a semnce of peace. The Temple was lined by long golden arches that stretched up high, lining up and providing a singr path forward toward the very center where a pristine Altary. Atop this Altar encased in a seemingly unbreakable crystal case, a singr pulsating multicolored hearty! Chapter 230 - Ridiculous Rate Of Progression, Antiquity! I Before their eyes was a shimmering Altar that screamed of ancientness, Noah and Love not being able to take their gazes off of it as the mere air it released alone would cause any living being to go crazy with greed. It released an air that made one want to grasp it into their own hands and cradle it as if it was their own creation- it was a type of treasure that released a sweet aroma especially to those who needed it the most, and that was Universal Hegemonies that were hoping to break through from a single Universe and into a Universal Fment! The key in all thisy with Marks of Antiquity, and the Primordial Treasure before their eyes was a unique treasure that granted one just that. The extremely hard to grasp Marks of Antiquity that required one to influence masses of quintillions of beings in multiple nes, Universes, or even Cosmos¡­one could obtain them from this Primordial Heart. Once one reached Universal Hegemony, they were required to turn their 100 Billion Gxies within their Universe into Dao Gxies through the Marks of Antiquity, and when one achieved 100 Billion Do Gxies within their Origin, their Universe would finally be in itsplete form as it became termed a Splendiferous Universe- and from this Splendiferous Universe, a second Universe would grow as it allowed one to go from the Universal Rank and into the Universal Fment Rank. A rank of where one focused on forging multiple Universes within their Origin- a rank where those in it were termed Nirvanic Antiquities! Existences that normally spent over a million years to reach such a priced realm, and existences that were the peak powerhouses on most Cosmos. Of course, there was great variation in all the myriad of Cosmos in different parallel Realities, where some Cosmos like the one Noah was currently in didn''t have any Antiquities after the death of the Great Usurper, while there could be other Cosmos in a parallel Reality that might have hundreds or even thousands of Antiquities! The possibilities within the multiverse and parallel Realities were endless as Noah put this in the back of his mind and began to slowly step forward on the golden hallway that led to the Altar encasing the Primordial Heart. The Hegemony of Love walked beside him as her heart trembled, Morrin and the Universal Annihtory Crocodile remaining in the entrance of the temple as with light steps, the two of them reached the glowing altar and came to look at it up close, their eyes locking on the truly multicolored and beating heart that released waves of enticing power. Noah recalled the memories of the Great Usurper as his hand reached out towards the indestructible crystal encasing the Heart, a Crystalline defense that would never break or open for anyone that didn''t have the aura of the Great Usurper. Noah had this exact aura as the one to inherit the Legacy, the crystal responding to him as it undted with intense golden light before it began to open and give way to the treasure lying within. "A Loot drop from a creature termed a Lesser Primordial Beast. A pulsing Heart that allows one to choose the proliferation and birth of more normal Gxies or the rapid change of their normal Gxies into Dao Gxies to create their first Splendiferous Universe before they proceed to the next one." His voice echoed out serenely as he reached into the opening casing and grasped onto the pulsing multicolored heart, his Origin screaming for his devour the essence of this treasure as he held himself back for now, his main body observing from the Ethereal Realm as his destiny was currently churning chaotically! The clouds of death that had been hanging over him were increasingly bing pierced by golden beams of light, meaning the action he was about to undertake would further decrease the destiny of certain death as it would very soon be a mere percentage chance. But his eyes constricted a secondter as with the knowledge of the Great Usurper and with him currently holding the Primordial Heart within his hands right now¡­he felt something off. "This Primordial Heart has already been heavily absorbed and is nearly dry of its essence¡­and it will probably be enough to birth a 1.5 Splendiferous Universes. Enough for one person to be an Antiquity¡­and the other to be halfway there." ¡­! A problem arose as Love''s eyes fluttered, biting her lips as she looked at the pristine treasure before her eyes that would grant her everything she wanted! But it was something that was prepared for the one to im the Legacy of the Usurper as when she thought about how to bypass this issue, her eyes brightened up as she almost smacked herself in the head. After the initial burst of an idea, her expression became contemtive as she locked her gaze on Noah''s figure, her eyes bing firm and decisive a secondter as she spoke outnguidly. "Every problem has a solution. You know about my Lesser Dao of Love¡­the reason why Gold and all the other disgusting old fogeys have been eyeing me this whole time." ¡­! Noah''s gaze locked onto Love as he held the pulsating Primordial Heart, knowing full well about this Hegemony''s self designed Dao as he had the memories of all the Hegemonies in the Ster Expanse that she was a part of! She had inadvertently designed a Lesser Dao that granted an increase in the speed of Realm Progression, Dao Comprehension, and Assimtion! Of course, the prerequisite was in the name- Love! It involved dual cultivation, and as the architect of this Dao, Gold and other Hegemonies had always wanted to get their hands on Love to further increase their power. The dark-haired Hegemony of Love had a decisive expression as she spoke. "As the architect of this Dao, I canprehend and assimte it at ten times the speed¡­and the boosts of Dual Cultivation with me are further elevated and enhanced as when cultivating or absorbing treasures conducive to cultivation, the benefits produced can be more than two timespared to normal. Instead of that Primordial Heart being able to produce 1.5 Splendiferous Universes, producing 3 of them and allowing the both of us to step into Antiquity won''t be a problem!" ¡­! Brilliance shone from her eyes as they locked with Noah, the Hegemony of Love proposing a stupendous solution! Chapter 231 - Ridiculous Rate Of Progression, Antiquity! II Noah''s sharp eyes watched the decisiveness on Love''s face as he nodded, the Primordial Heart disappearing from his hands as he recalled the two units outside the temple and spoke out calmly. "Let''s not make our breakthrough in a dangerous Apocalyptic Dimension then." His words finished as his essence surged to cause a Rift to form before them, Noah stepping into it swiftly as Love followed behind. After the spatial turbulence, Love stepped out to find they were in a location she knew of- it was the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne of the Chaotic Universe that she had rarely ever visited in her many years of life! "This is¡­?" "My home." Her words were answered not by the figure of the Noah she was with in the Apocalypse of Ruination Dimension, but another figure that looked exactly like Noah dressed in a simple white robe. This was Noah''s actual body, and not the body of the Subjugated Blessed that he was utilizing under the Authority of the Dominator! The figure that Love had been traveling with this whole time disappeared as only Noah''s main body was left behind, the expansive golden hall of the vast Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne only leaving the two of them as Noah waved his hands while casting Absolute Mental Istion Field. "We should not have any disturbance here. Breaking through to Antiquity¡­" Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he waved his hands to call out the Primordial Heart he had put away in his Inventory, raising his head up as he found Love walking towards him with the same expectant expression! Something she had been seeking for many years was right before her, and she would achieve a Realm of power that no other Hegemonies in her Universe or surrounding Universes had achieved. She wouldn''t be feeling stifled for not even being able to protect her honor when powerful old fogeys disrespectfully tried to put their hands on her! Her dark eyes shone with brightness as she moved her eyes from the Primordial Heart and onto Noah, her hair bing unfurled as her dress disappeared to reveal wondrous blessings, a pink essence of the Lesser Dao of Love beginning to spread around them. "This Dual Cultivation session is only business. Make sure you don''t put emotions or anything behind it...as you''re the only one who hasn''t recently repulsed me, and I would like to continue our partnership after this." Her voice had turned dominating as she spread out the essence of the Dao she herself designed, as Noah was about to enjoy something that powerful Universal Hegemonies that had lived for millions of years sought for! "If you say so." He had a light smile as he stepped forward, the area around them bing suffused with essence as the Cultivating session began after a few seconds. After the allure of colorful lights, both of their hands held onto the Primordial Heart as they began to absorb its unique essence- an essence that they chose to begin changing their normal Gxies into Dao Gxies as they had to change all 100 Billion Gxies within their Universe in order for them to achieve a Splendiferous Universe and be able to step into the Universal Fment Realm! It was a wondrous asion for both of the two beings as they enjoyed two different types of pleasures, with Noah finding his Origin rapidly being dyed with multicolored Dao Gxies much more profound as he found his power rising ever so steadily, dozens of millions of Gxies being changed every second as his manifested Universe shone with utter brightness and splendor. The minutes passed as the fantastical cultivation session continued in the Mental Istion Field within the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne, none of the powerhouses of the Chaotic Universe or even the Cosmos it belonged to knowing that two Antiquities were about to be produced in this nondescript location! The river of time continued to flow as after a certain amount of time had passed, Noah''s blue eyes released bright radiance as he saw from 99 billion Dao Gxies...he finally achieved all 100 billion as his entire Origin became suffused with a multicolored light of tremendous power. If the Universe within his Origin was dull before, it was now a rainbow array of colors as Love was the same way, her expression ecstatic as she felt her Origin filled to the brim with essence- as the both of them achieved the required prerequisite before they could cause the budding off of another Universe from their first one! This process happened so naturally that within both of their Origins, the moment that their first Universe became a Splendiferous one- the outside of a second Universe began to form as tens of Gxies began to appear in it, boundless strength erupting from them as if they had crossed apart a threshold that no others could cross. BOOM! Universal Fment! A Realm where one went from a single Universe into forging many more, a Realm where those in it were known as Antiquities! A Universal singrity formed and then bloomed as a second Universe was born in each of their Origins, waves of terrifying essence raging around them as after this was aplished, the Primordial Heart that was nearly depleted disappeared with a sh of spatial light as Love was awoken from her stupor of power. She looked at the face of Noah a few inches from her quizzically as she breathed out heavily, only to see his usual calm expression even amidst this situation as he replied. "There''s someone else I wish to raise the strength of. After building a second Universe¡­were have already stepped into Antiquity as we can forge the Gxies of this second one and all future one with other means!" Noah replied calmly as when he saw the dissatisfaction on Love''s face, heughed while waving his hands and pulling out a mountain of Universal Cores that he had been passively getting from Idle Mode. "Shall we...continue the business arrangement? We can absorb the cores at the same doubled efficiency." His bright blue eyes were enticing as when Love looked at the mountain of Universal Cores appearing around them that could help one forge billions of Gxies, her Origin couldn''t help but call out to them as she wanted to forge as many more Universes as she could! Her eyesnguidly came back to Noah as she nodded, their bodies remaining intertwined as she replied softly. "Remember...it is only a business arrangement." "Yes, yes." Noah nearly rolled his eyes as the cultivation session resumed, normal Gxies beginning to bloom in their second Universes as he nned to absorb all the stock of Cores he had on him to see if they would be enough to forge another 2 or 3 Universes! After one had forged their single Splendiferous Universe and achieved the Universal Fment Realm, they could continue forging more and more Universes as long as they had the tools to do so- and Noah had just that as the Loot he passively obtained from the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts and from the Infinite Crucible would be some of the main sources to obtain a crazy amount of loot and forge a terrifying number of Universes. He also nned to add all the remaining Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts in the Celestial ne of the Chaotic Universe, and then all simrly ranked Rifts across the Universes within his Cosmos as he created awork of Looting to him on sides! After this, he would delve into other Dimensions and even Parallel Realities as there were many things for him to get his hands on, and he wouldn''t stop until his Destiny was clear. Even now as he stepped into the Universal Fment Realm and became an Antiquity, he saw his golden destiny shine brighter as his death that was guaranteed before actually reduced to an actual percentage he could see. From certainty, he now saw that he had a fifty-fifty chance of perishing or surviving whatever terrifying enemy he would face, and he would continue to make preparations as he made sure this chance of death was reduced to nothing! Chapter 232 - Suppress The Hegemonies Of The Chaotic Universe! I Within the Mental Istion Field erected in the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne. The dense essence of the Dao of Love faded as Noah floated from the ground refreshingly, the mountain of Universal Cores having long since faded as he looked within his Origin to find the wondrous sight of his first Splendiferous Universe...as well as two more normal Universes! His second Universe had the full 100 Billion Gxies as his third one only held 20 Billion, but this alone was a terrifying rate of progress as he had truly stepped into the Realm of Universal Fment- into someone that could be called an Antiquity. His Origin felt nearly endless surging strength while his mental strength was crazily elevated, three new abilities bing born from his Inherent Skills as there were many things for him to explore. One must keep in mind, it was only a week or two back that he was still rising into the Neb Rank! In such a short period of time, he had truly gone past ck Hole, QUASAR, Gxy, Gctic Fment, Universe...and now he stood at the Universal Fment Realm! It was a wonder if anyone else across the Cosmos could have anything close to such a fast rate of progress as he did. "Hmmm¡­" The happy humming of Love could be heard as it took Noah out of his thoughts, his gaze turning to this woman that had covered her body with a silk robe while freshening up her hair- her attention on her brilliantly shining Origin that also held 3 Universes. This being had sought Antiquity all her life, and she actually reached it now as she couldn''t help but unconsciously show her happiness! "What''s the first thing you''re nning on doing now?" Noah asked lightly as Love turned her dark eyes onto him with a smile that felt free and unfettered. She felt like a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders as she spoke freely with a dazzling smile. "There are a few little Hegemonies that have made an enemy out of me in the past from the other two Factions within the Celestial ne. I will go collect my debts!" Even though she was smiling brilliantly, her words were ruthless as Noah nodded lightly. "I''ll be descending unto the Celestial ne myself for the purposes of obtaining more Subjugated Hegemonies and clearing the Universal Rank Rifts there. After that...I will be stepping out of this Chaotic Universe and seeing what lies in the other Universes of this Cosmos as I do the same thing." ¡­! "To obtain more Marks of Antiquity, one has to spread their influence over a myriad of Universes and Cosmos...and I''ll be doing just that while enjoying the Dimensional Rifts spread throughout." Love''s words were cold, but Noah''s were terrifying as he effectively mentioned the domination of an unknown number of Universes and Cosmos! And this was without him mentioning that he nned to even spread his will across different Dimensional Parallel Realities, seeing just what else was out there that could help him guarantee his life for what was toe. This was him also not mentioning that he had to clear the Abyssal ne and its dozens of quintillions of creatures within it, where he nned to absorb all the souls he could as who knew what stage it would grow to after he went through with it? "Why don''t we get started?" He spoke towards Love with a smile as the Antiquity nodded, the Mental Istion Field falling apart around them as outside it, a figure of a Subjugated Blessed could be seen. Noah''s eyes fell upon this Blessed as he activated [Authority of the Dominator], half of his vibrant consciousness descending unto this body as it very quickly began to release terrifying waves of pressure that no Hegemony could match- it was the aura of an Antiquity! Love watched this scene while shaking her head at its ridiculousness, watching as another figure of Noah that looked exactly like his form from the Subjugated Blessed. "This one...we''ll call him my clone. He''ll move with you, my main body still has a few things to do here!" Noah''s ''main'' body spoke as the Subjugated Blessed he had taken over could be considered a Clone of himself now. "You home, huh?" Love''s eyes nced at the Sanctuary of the Sublunary ne as when she thought about Noah''s abilities, she could guess what had happened to the so called powerhouses of this Sublunary ne. "Very well, let''s go!" Her eyes shone with light as she looked forward to descending unto the Celestial ne with her new power! Noah was feeling the same way if not even more exuberant as after enough hard work and a ridiculous System, he had actually risen through the ranks of power silently until he became more powerful than all the beings in his Universe- if not his Cosmos! He wouldn''t have to go through any fights of Young Masters of powerful Conves or fortuitous meetings with sky shaking beauties that he had to fight suitors for, nor would he face generations of young masters and their fathers and Forefathers. When he descended onto the Celestial ne and then stepped outside of the Chaotic Universe, he would suppress disciples of Conves, their Elders, and their Conves Leaders alike as none of their realms would matter! This was the path that he had taken for himself, and he would relish it for the future toe as he continued to move in this manner. SHAA! The figures of his Clone and Love vanished as Noah was left behind. He took out the remaining portion of the Primordial Heart that he had put away before he and Love could absorb it all, thinking of Annalise also breaking through to Antiquity through it as it was too hard to climb from Universal Hegemony to Antiquity without the use of treasures or being powerful enough to influence multiple Universes while still at the rank of Universal Hegemony! After this, he would take his Units and Annalise as he would fully set himself onpleting the feature of Abyssal ne Expedition and clear out the quintillions of Abyssal Beasts that had Hegemonies as their strongest level. His Subjugated Blessed that he was dominating the mind of that he termed a [Clone] would be moving to subjugate more beings and clear Dimensional Rifts while his main body enjoyed the features of the Idle Gaming System....it was bound to be an eventful next few days as Noah''s eyes released blue arcs of light at the mere thought of it! Chapter 233 - Suppress The Hegemonies Of The Chaotic Universe! II As Noah set off to conduct multiple actions, he also had to set some time to look at all the things he had gained. There was truly an abundant amount as he had three new abilities from his Inherent Skills, multiple newws and daos that he had been receiving in the past few days from all his new subjugations as he barely nced at them- but they contributed to his power. As his figure shed towards the Ethereal Realm to give Annalise the Primordial Heart, his eyes looked at his status panel as he focused on the new abilities. ||Mind Dominator|| :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future.

There were also the terrifying skills he would unlock whenever he rose from the Universal Fment level and into the Cosmic Level. Yes! From the knowledge Noah had from the Great Usurper and even seeing the names of the skills he would unlock next, he knew the next Realm was the Cosmic Realm, where a being had to form who knew how many Universes before they could build a genuine Cosmos. But this Realm was too far away as just in the stage of Universal Fment, there were vast power gulfs to cross from the few memories Noah had about it. He put this in the back of his mind as he looked at the details of the new skills that unfolded before his eyes.

[Gravity Maniption] :: The Telekic Emperor can change the pressure and direction of gravity in something as small as a world or asrge as a Universe. The more mana is utilized, the more oppressive the gravity bes as there is an upper limit only the strongest within the Universal Fment Realm can reach. [Dance of the Ancient Terror] :: A ritualistic dance that the Universal Terror of Deep can perform. Once initiated, it does not stop until the enemy has perished or the mana from the Universal Terror runs out. During the Dance of the Ancient Terror, 90% of all damage in negated and reflected, All the Parameters of the Universal Terror are temporarily increased by 500,000%, the selected enemy(s) receive 100 times the damage from the Universal Terror, and all the souls of the dead are automatically devoured as every single soul will be exchanged for mana and increase the duration of the dance by 5 seconds. A wondrous set of new additions that only gave Noah the tools to be more overpowered, and one stood out much more than the others in its versatility! [Gravity Maniption] and [Dance of the Ancient Terror] were great but [Universal Dominator]? This ability was on a whole other level as it now allowed him to passively cultivate his realm and advance in his Daos and Laws by letting his Subjugations do it on his behalf! With this, he could truly be idle! He could truly be lying around doing nothing while millions or even trillions of beings did all the work for him. THUMP! Noah''s heart beat ever faster as he reveled in all the possibilities of such a thing, not wasting a second as he sent out amand to the Subjugated Universal Hegemonies to all begin sensing andprehending more of the Cosmic Daos they knew¡­as every progress they made would now be added to his as he would only wake up and find his Daos closer towards 100% than they were the night before. It was a wondrous new addition that opened up crazy possibilities, making Noah smile as he made his way to the home he transmigrated in when he came into this fantastical reality. His figure appeared in the Ethereal Realm as his entrance instantly caused Annalise and Rose to raise their eyes towards his direction, a smile dangling on his face as he twirled the Primordial Heart in his hands while going towards the two of them. "I''ve got a present for my little sister¡­" His main body took a breather in the Ethereal Realm as the ''clone'' he had sent with the Antiquity of Love appeared in the ster space of the Celestials ne silently. Chapter 234 - Suppress The Hegemonies Of The Chaotic Universe! III A ne that made up more than half of the Chaotic Universe, and one that held the factions of the Ster Expanse that Noah had already subjugated the leaders of, and then there was the Sundawn Expanse and the Virtuous Expanse! "I have a bone to pick with two Hegemonies in the Sundawn Expanse and one in the Virtuous Expanse. There''s a pope of the Virtuous Church there that isn''t so virtuous with the things he''s been doing these past millions of years." Love had her own purpose as her body glimmered with terrifying light, the power she could release as an Antiquity being terrifying as Noah nodded lightly, merely ncing at her figure disappeared towards the starry expanse before him! He himself breathed out slowly as his Origin filled with three Universes began to rotate slowly. He could go about domination in a myriad of ways, where he could appear before the prestigious and prideful conves of these beings that had been living lives of luxury, but he wanted to go about it in an even simpler manner as he was looking at the abilities of the Great Usurpers. Abilities that were intended to affect Universes and Cosmos as they allowed the Great Usurper to seamlessly traverse and create anchors to other Dimensional Realities! Noah''s vibrant essence of the Universal Fment Realm touched upon and as to start off his path for the future toe, he would begin deploying these skills on the scale of half a Universe to cover the whole Celestial ne. wasn''t required for this as he held it off, just the first two abilities being more than enough. He had already marked Love as a friendly as she wouldn''t be affected by the aura of the Great Usurper, his eyes releasing rays of brilliant blue luster as he closed them. His heart settled as after achieving the Universal Fment Realm- after achieving the same stage that the Usurper was moving around with before, he would fully take on his mantle and identity as he, Noah Eckert, the Great Usurper¡­called out as his words reverberated across the entire Celestial ne. . . THRUM! Essence began to rage wildly as a rising powerhouse nobody had even known about made a move at this time! It spread out silently and powerfully across the vast light years of the Celestial ne, reaching all hidden Realms, worlds, and any ster bodies contained within this ne. Across the unique sacred grounds of the powerful conves of the Sundawn and Virtuous Expanse of the Chaotic Universe as they Pentwater throughout all of their barriers and formations...up until every single area of this ne was covered by a crimson aura that foretold theing of a single being. The Great Usurper! For this asion, Noah''s essence tapped into the pervasive aura he had spread out across the Celestial ne as it had taken up one-third of his mana reserves, his Universal Fment Origin burning even more essence as he carried his voice to spread across all the areas he affected. "I do not know you, and you do not know me. But you are in the unfortunate position of being in a Universe I n to Subjugate...so you can do nothing else but be Subjugated." WAA! Coldly. His voice echoed out among the pressure that his two terrifying skills released. One must recall that the made it do that those not under the protection of the Great Usurper gain the Corrupted Status directly on their souls as their Mana and Health Regeneration were reduced by half, the Damage Taken from other sources is increased by 10,000%, their life force reduced by -50% as they even had a -50% Reduction in All Attributes! This was just a portion of the debuffs beings received at added even more, making even the power of a Hegemony be dragged to the ground as they would feel Noah''s pressure on all sides. One might even find themselves questioning the morality of Noah''s actions as even if he was only nning on Subjugating Hegemonies and Paragons, there were those one could say were bad or evil and those that were good among these beings. But Noah didn''t discriminate as they would all have toe under him and be dominated in the same manner! Did such an action paint Noah in the light of a viin? It was never so ck and white, but Noah¡­ ''The morality of it all doesn''t matter. I must do what I can in order to survive. All I can do is promise those I subjugate a much more glorious path for the future!'' He steeled his heart for what he had to do as his eyes released brilliant arcs of blue light, his consciousness rolling out in waves as he sent it out through [Ruler''s Emenation] to locate and Subjugate all Paragons and Universal Hegemonies in the Celestial ne! --- In the Virtuous Expanse of the Celestial ne. There was an enormous structure vaster than any floating in space, this being the Virtuous Church that ruled with an iron fist and belief under the lead of Pope Knoall! A powerful Universal Hegemony who uniquely utilized the Dao of Destiny and thews of light and fate to form a church of Authority- a being filled with majesty and regality that trillions paid obeisance to daily. Such a being was currently ncing around him in utter fear as he nced around him in a confused and terrified manner, the figure of the Antiquity of Love materializing before his eyes soon after as she looked at him with eyes filled with pity and distaste! "Even a being of high stature like you falls this terrified just under his aura." She had sensed Noah''s crimson aura spread out seconds ago before she arrived to collect her grudges against one of the leading figures of the Virtuous Expanse, but she lost all such emotions when she saw the terrifying expression of this being just trying to withstand the aura of the Great Usurper that was currently permeating throughout. She wanted to use her palpating strength as an Antiquity to wipe this being out as he had turned to look at her in utter shock, his eyes still not able to understand what was happening as when she saw this...Love stopped. Her dark hair glimmered as she retracted her essence and felt the pervasive mental pressure of Noah permeate even more in the surroundings, her voice echoing out. "Better I see you moving as a Subjugated being that just ending your life too quickly." The Hegemony was spared from death and thrown to the fate of Subjugation, and all of the Hegemonies and Paragons of the Celestial ne would face this same fate on this day as an existence they had no idea about had made a grand move against them. When the minutes passed and everything settled, they would all be Subjugated as thereafter....they would only know of their undying allegiance to the will of the Great Usurper! Chapter 235 - Dominator Of A Universe! Noah let his essence spread even more pervasively under Ruler''s Emanation, being capable of subjugating beings from vast distances as he locked on to dozens of Hegemonies in the Celestial ne alone as well as hundreds of Paragons! All of these would be his new source of strength and even batteries for his mana reserves if need be, and due to his Mind Dominator abilities that allowed him to subjugate in the first ce- he could also gain whateverws and daos theyprehended as when they didprehend Daos thereafter...he would be getting the increase in percentages as he couldprehend and assimte daos constantly in Idle Mode. WAA! Undeniably, the eyes of hundreds of Paragons shed blue as they couldn''t withstand his mental pressure, the Universal Hegemonies following soon after as with the addition of so many powerful subjugations came to flood of memories that would nearly make an existence have a case of mistaken identity for who they were. But Noah''s vastly strong soul that had devoured too many other souls took in all the flooded memories seamlessly, expanding his breadth of knowledge even further as every corner of the Celestial ne and therger Chaotic Universe it was in felt like his back yard! If the strongest of all the beings in this Universe were under him, his authority would simply flow down as he would be the sole dominator of this Universe. A Dominator of a Universe! He felt like he had floated across its ster space for hundreds of thousands of years as he knew every location and nook and cranny, this being a unique sensation that Noah alone could feel from the memories of his Subjugations. "Haaa¡­" He breathed out slowly as he felt all the new souls connected to him, as he felt all the links he could now tug onto for support whenever he wished. It felt utterly freeing for him to paradoxically bind others as he could only open his cerulean eyes a bitter, finding the figure of Love looking at him weirdly as she sighed. "The abilities you have are too powerful that whatever sense of revenge I had faded away when I saw what you were doing to them." Love had aplicated look on her face as she gazed at Noah, a sigh leaving her lips as she looked around them and continued to speak. "What now? The strongest of the Chaotic Universe are under your feet as if are bent on domination, you''ll be stretching out to the other Universes within our Cosmos¡­" She wondered what he would do as she would decide what she herself would do from it, where she currently didn''t have any grand aims as she could rx within this Chaotic Universe in peace or even choose to explore the other Universes! Noah nodded at her words as he replied with a smile. "The Universes of this Radiant Cosmos, is it? I''ll have them all under me in due time, but I''ll take it step by step." As he said this, his gaze was connected to his main body as he saw the churning destiny and fortune above his head, where there was also the sight of constant pouring of Marks of Antiquity that descended unto him after his influence stretched across an entire Universe! Marks of Antiquity that he could use to form more Dao Gxies and turn his normal Universes into Splendiferous ones, and if he wanted more of them...he had to expand his area of influence. But he wasn''t sure of all that was out there, so he would take things slowly as he continued to strengthen himself! Even though he had just achieved Antiquity and could now bully Hegemonies, what if he somehow came across a random being that had also broken through to Antiquity? Or he came across an Abyssal Beast that had somehow crossed the bounds of Hegemony after all this time? He loved his lowkey life so much that he had begun thinking in this manner, where before he continued to make outrageous moves that would involve multiple Universes¡­ "I have to obtain more information." He had to know more about what he would face! For this, he would need to obtain thest portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper- the portion that was neither a treasure or a trial, but the one that would fully give him the history and mantle of the Usurper. Noah had a bright smile on his face as he felt the overwhelming power coursing through him and the new connections of a myriad of Universal Hegemonies, gazing at Love as he spokenguidly. "I''ll be finishing up with obtaining the Legacy of the Usurper first. Let me introduce you to my little sister in that time¡­" ¡­! "You have a little sister?!" Love looked towards him in shock as she had been looking at Noah like arger than life figure with too many mysteries that she didn''t even think about his family! She shook her head as she sighed. "Sure, I have all the time in the world now and now worries anyways¡­" A spatial light wrapped around Love alone as she was teleported toward the Ethereal Realm where Noah''s main body would handle the introductions, and the body of the ''clones that had just Subjugated the powerhouses of the Celestial ne released waves of power as he opened a Dimensional Rifts before the starry space! This was a Rift that led to thest Dimension that held the final portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper. Noah had achieved a level of power that allowed him to smoothly create the gateway into this Dimension- such a thing being the only prerequisite that was required for thest portion of the Legacy. There were no hoops or trials for him to jump over as the moment he achieved Antiquity, he could go ahead and obtain all of this Legacy! WAA! His figure disappeared in a sh of light as he withstood the Dimensional turbulence himself with ease, finding himself in a serene new dimension in a matter of seconds as all around him...there was a mixture of golden white essence flowing freely as it even formed into vast rivers due to how dense it was. "You have arrived at the final junction." THRUM! Out of nowhere, a booming voice thundered out as Noah''s eyes became sharp- a crucial meeting of the history of the Usurper and the reason for his death about to be known! Chapter 236 - Shocking Revelations! I Around the new Dimension that Noah just entered, the mixture of dense gold and white essence all coagted together as a storm formed to create the figure of a single being- a being that Noah could recognize easily as the Great Usurper! "You have arrived at the final junction, faster than anticipated¡­but it should be no surprise based on what you truly are." WAP! His ancient voice boomed out as it caused Noah''s heart to pound. All his other meetings with the portions of the soul of the Usurper were unique, but thisst one seemed especially so as the coagtion of essence that formed into the Usurper was scrutinizing him greatly. "What I am?" Noah spoke to the Usurper carefully as the expansive existence nodded passively. "Yes. What you are makes the speed of progression no surprise. It also makes my connection to you a form a Cosmic joke as the one that killed me¡­is rted to you." ¡­! Essence began to rage madly as Noah''s heart shook, the booming voice of the Usurper continuing to resound out! "It must not make much sense right now¡­so let us start with a story. A story about Universes and Cosmos, a story about countless Realities and the Primordials behind it all." THRUM! From the body of the coagted mass of essence of the Usurper, a crimson light shot out as it dove into Noah''s head and instilled him with a vast array of new memories. These memories were vaster than anything Noah hade across before, and foretold of a grand tale that exined much about the nes and Dimensions that Noah had beening across. As Noah perused through the memories, the voice of the Usurper boomed in his mind. "In the past, there was a single Reality. Blossoming, wondrous, and full of fantasy." As he spoke, Noah saw the image of a boundlessly vast image in his mind- an image that even he couldn''t fully grasp just how vast it was! "Within this Reality, there existed a group of Existences that stood above many others- existences that reached fantastical stages of power after many years. These existences...were known as the Primordials!" Primordials! Being of extreme power...and yet they wanted more. They wanted more than what they could get their hands on as the strongest and vast majority of them got together to do something terrific- something that caused what Noah was experiencing right now. "The Fracture of Reality itself." WAA! The voice of the Usurper was somber as Noah could see the image of an old man in his eyes, this old man continuing his tale. "They were able to split apart Reality itself into multiple branches, giving birth to parallel Dimensional Realities that were alike in some ways and vastly different in others." "Such an action allowed them to expand their power and influence as they reached even greater heights...but it was also something unnatural that went against naturalws! And so there was the birth of other existences that had the sole purpose of returning things to how they once were- the birth of the Primordial Beasts." Noah knew of the Primordial Beasts- his heart shaking as he recalled the dried up Primordial Heart that he and Love had used to allow them to break to Antiquity. These Primordial Beasts were born within Realities themselves as they were an answer to order- where their sole purpose was to return the many parallel Dimensional Realities back to a single one! To do this...they had to destroy the reality they were born in as their purpose was to devour all the Universes contained within the vast number of Cosmos. When all the Cosmos within a Reality were destroyed, the reality itself would shatter as it would be absorbed back into the Main Reality. "Primordials and Primordial Beasts...one side wants to preserve the Realities they have caused the eruption of, thetter wanted to return things to how they were as this has caused for a huge war to break out across the myriad of Parallel Realities." The voice of the Usurper with its deep somber tone continued. "In an effort to manage the vast number of Realities and maintain their dominion while withstanding the immensely powerful Primordial Beasts, the Primordials used their unique power to establish Champions across the many Realities- Champions that they raise to be capable enough to withstand the strongest of Primordial Beasts that can arise in their Reality." THUMP! "This...is where youe in. This is why I said you being connected to me and the Primordials was a Cosmic joke...as it was the Primordials that murdered me in cold blood, and you...are a Champion that a Primordial is raising." THUMP! Noah felt his heart beating wildly as this information flooded his mind, especially of the term Champion! "Throughout my travels across different Dimensional Realities, I came across many Champions. Beings that were given tremendous perks or Reality bending methods termed {Systems} that gave them tremendous power." ¡­! When Noah heard the mention of System, his heart shook as he inadvertently turned towards his Idle Gaming System Interface. The Interface of the ridiculous system that granted him things other beings couldn''t even imagine! He had always sought answers and wondered just what it was and what made it possible, how all the fantastical loot and what he could do with Dimensional Rifts could be exined. It turned out that it wasn''t his power. That it was a system granted by a Primordial as he...Noah Eckert, was being raised like a puppet towards a certain direction of a Champion! "Primordials, Champions...I never imagined to be associating with them even after my death, but it was Primordials who did not appreciate that a being could traverse Parallel Realities simr to them. It is a crime punishable by death for any of those that have such an ability." "When I was found out while traversing Dimensional Realities by a certain Primordial...death was the only thinging for me, and the mark of death will now also be hanging over you the moment that a Primordial finds out that you have inherited what I can do." ¡­! Noah''s eyes shone brightly as his thoughts churned, his mind organizing immense amounts of shocking information! Chapter 237 - Shocking Revelations! II In Noah''s very own mind space. The ancient figure of the Usurper floated calmly as he dropped many bombs on Noah, the biggest one being the fact of all remaining to be the concept of a Champion. That Noah''s transmigrated soul that had been given the Idle Gaming System was being raised to stand in this Reality as its champion- standing against the powerful Primordial Beasts that roam the vast Seas of Ruination outside Gxies! "This¡­" Noah was taken back as his mind buzzed with information, his thoughts extrapting further as he thought of the certain chance of death that he had reduced to a mere 50% chance less than a day ago. Now, when he nced above him and gleamed his destiny, he saw that his chance of death was further reduced by 10% just after he obtained this information! It gave him the terrifying reality that was reinforced by the words of the Usurper. His death¡­was bound to be by the hands of the Primordials. THRUM! The same existences that granted him his System and were raising him would be the ones to kill him simr to the Usurper of the past! "They would never let go of anyone that could traverse into Different Dimensional Realities, much less a Champion that is supposed to remain within their Reality and withstand the enemies that seek to devour Cosmos and break apart." Like a hammer, the words of the Usurper rained down as they only caused Noah''s eyes to be more somber. He¡­didn''t see this oue as a certainty, and he felt like he could change it! "I''m not sure when they will be checking in on how the little pet they''re raising for this Reality is doing, but when they do¡­I hope you are ready for whates then." ¡­! The ancient looking Usurper said such words as he raised his right hand, a decrypt broken looking golden sword appearing as it caused the surroundings of Noah''s mind space to brighten up immensely. "Then¡­there is this. This blessing, and also the profound curse that eventually caused my death." The archaic looking broken sword released sonorous hums, the voice of the Usurper continuing to echo out. "Through chance, I managed to obtain this broken Relic. An old thing that stems from the Main Reality where Primordials call their homes, and it was already nearly destroyed and shattered when I received it after it had been floating across multiple Realities for countless years. But this Relic granted me abilities that allowed me to traverse Parallel Dimensional Realities simr to the Primordials¡­the abilities I was able to pass on to you." WAA! "You can traverse Realities with the tight restriction you know of from the previous memories I left behind, but if you manage to slowly restore this Relic, you will be able to cross the boundaries of Dimensional Realities with ease and even stand against Primordials if they let you off their leash and begin chasing you." The hands of the Usurper shimmered as they caused the shimmering broken sword to shoot towards Noah, sinking into his soul as it shuttled through space time to appear in Noah''s main body that was a Dimension away and settling into his Origin as it began to hungrily devour his essence within! "From my experience with it, one of the ways I''ve found that gradually leads to its repair is to feed it Primordial Hearts. With your current level of power, a mere wink from a Lesser Primordial Beast would wipe you out¡­so I suggest you quickly raise your power and use whatever unique system or perk of yours as a Champion to make as much headway as you can before your handleres to see you." One could feel the tant disdain that the Usurper felt towards Primordials and their Champions, this being going as far asbeling Champions mere pets and Primordials their handlers! Noah felt the so called broken relic that was slowly absorbing his mana within his Origin as he released calm breaths. After all this, he truly had to calm himself down as there were too many things to think about and too many decisions to make. His eyes reigned in their sharp blue light as he looked at the Usurper that was still in his mindspace once more. Even though this being was ancient, he didn''t see him as that any more as he could see the disdain, pridefulness, and anger as from all the memories he collected of him. For the first time in a while since the Usurper had been giving his monologue¡­Noah spoke lightly. "I want to first thank you for the Legacy you have handed down, such a thing allowing me to aplish things I never thought possible, and now you have handed me even more with this Relic." His voice was low, almost akin to a whisper, but it was resounding within his mind as his cerulean eyes locked with the remaining spirit of the Primordial Usurper. "But I also want to tell you that I will not be like you. Maybe the Primordial will seek to kill me¡­maybe he won''t. I will make my own choices and make sure that whatever direction is taken¡­I will be able to secure my life at the end of it all!" WAA! His words left behind tremendous strength as he bellowed them out loudly, and he did it this way as he was seemingly not just letting the Usurper know¡­but as if he was trying to convince himself that he could do what he proimed! "..." The mind space calmed after the resounding promation as the ancient figure of the Usurper smiled. "Yes. You have to be different in order to truly seed me. Peruse the memories more and you will understand more of the Primordials. My wish for the one who takes my Legacy to stand against those that killed me¡­I won''t even have to ask it of you as you will be forced to do it anyways!" ¡­! The figure of the Great Usurper began to flicker rapidly as the color gold suffused from it. This was hisst portion of a soul, and thest time that Noah would be meeting this being or receiving anything from him. Noah watched this ancient beings as he nodded to give his respects, his figure actually beginning tough boisterously as even his spirit was forever being wiped from existence. "Haha! Their own raised Champion to stand against them¡­what a sight that is to see!" THRUM! "Haha!" His raucousughter continued as if they were ringing bells that foretold of the future, Noah watching thest moments of this ancient being calmly as right before he disappeared into nothingness, his eyes locked with his for thest time as they delivered a final message. "I wish you luck¡­O Great Usurper." ZAP! Like a sh of light, he disappeared. Hisst words were this ancient being handing off his title and name to another, Noah''s vibrant destiny churning madly as it had begun to constantly change with the new information and treasure that he had just gotten his hands on. A broken Relic that had stemmed from the Main Reality! Chapter 238 - An Ancient Relic! The aura of the Usurper entirely disappeared. Noah''s cloney floating in the golden realm that had rivers of the essence of destiny, fate, and a myriad of other Daos and Laws floating serenely. He closed his eyes and gave his final respects to this ancient being as he spoke out towards nothingness. "You did more for me than anyone could have hoped, and for that...I thank you." The Great Usurper truly had done many many things for Noah. Not only had he given him the unique Primordial Heart that allowed him to break through into the Universal Fment Realm and reach Antiquity, he also granted him the abilities to traverse across different dimensional nes and even across Dimensional Realities as long as he met certain prerequisites! But not only this, during theirst meeting...the Usurper had now given Noah bundles of shocking information that illuminated his future and even more so, he was given a Relic. A Relic that the Usurper said stemmed from the Main Reality that all other realities branched from! It would have most likely been a shocking level of treasure that if itnded in the hands of any of the main characters that Noahmonly read about, their power and standing would be greatly raised by this single treasure. But the reality of it was that even though it had a shocking history, It was currently broken! It was broken in the truest sense as it nowy inside of Noah''s origin in the Ethereal Realm. The figures of the Antiquity of Love talking to Annalise and Rose with interest reflected before his eyes as he had introduced the women to each other, Love interested to find just how different the people around the terrifying being she knew of were. Noah smiled at such a scene as he excused himself in order to study what this Relic exactly was. It had been slowly eating up the essence within his origin for the past few minutes, and he now truly looked at it as its details popped down before his eyes. The color gold could still be seen on it as cracks and jagged edges were stretching throughout. It seemed like the length of his arm as it wasn''t too long or short, and anyone looking at it would only see amon broken sword. But the details that popped up before Noah''s eyes were anything but that! :: An old sword made from the remnants of a shattered reality. It has gone through a shocking war as 95% of its power and features were destroyed and decimated. It needs an extensive amount of vital essence to replenish as much more about it will be known when it gets repaired to a sufficient level. Currently essible are its lowest tiers of ability that allow for Dimensional travel, Dimensional stabilizing, Realm Devouring, Dimensional Corruption¡­ Noah''s eyes shook as he read through the details of the sword lying within his origin! The shocking name alone was enough to cause one''s heart to tremble. A Sword of Shattered Reality! How grand! What a resplendent name! The abilities that the Usurper had passed down to Noah were only the minuscule portion of what this broken sword could do where if more of it was repaired, the possibilities for it were endless! Noah could see an ability termed under the Sword of Shattered Reality as the details of this skill closely resembled the [Greed of the Usurper], but it was now even more domineering in its effects as one could even devour the Dao Gxies and Marks of Antiquity that the target held in their Origin. The abilities of Dimensional Travel when using the Sword of Shattered Reality required more mana, but they came with fewer restrictions if one wanted to traverse Reality as Noah''s work would be reduced by nearly half! There were truly many things that he had to explore, but the core of it was that by now, his goal was to repair this shockingly powerful treasure. But to merely repair such a thing, the Usurper mentioned that the Primordial Hearts were one of the only things that he found to work. Primordial Hearts that one could only obtain by killing the powerful Primordial Beasts that were born for the sole purpose of devouring Universes and Cosmos! Terrifying beasts that killed in the quintillions without even blinking an eye¡­.and why should they when their purpose was the destruction of all parallel Realities as everything returned to have it once was? The ancient Relic...the Primordials and the Primordial Beasts...all of these thoughts rotated in Noah''s mind madly as he looked for the path he should follow next. Now that he had gotten his hands on this stupendous treasure. Now that he knew the origin of his System and what awaited him at the end of it...how exactly would he move? How would he prepare against an enemy that was far more powerful than even the Usurper? How could he fight an enemy that was more than likely multiple realms above him with abilities and powers the one could only dream of! His thoughts buzzed with possibilities as he thought about the promised taboo treasure when he cleared the 100 quintillion creatures in the Abyssal Dimensional ne. This feature of the Idle Gaming System felt like a unique one as at the end of it all...he felt like something significant should happen. When he thought of this, his very own Destiny churned as he further believed his thoughts to be true. When hepleted the feature of the Abyssal ne Expedition...something profound would happen! Would this be the time when the Primordial that was gone or simply had not been observing him this entire time return or check in on his progress? Would this be the time when his so-called handler appeared to check on the progress of his pet? Noah released a depreciatingugh when he thought like this. He had transmigrated into this fantastical world, but he was no protagonist. He was just a pet that was being raised....a mere Champion groomed for power with a System as there were countless of him stretching out across a myriad of parallel Realities! Chapter 239 - A Myriad Of Paths! A Minor existential crisis. That was all that Noah had before he breathed deeply, his immense consciousness taking in everything as calmed down thereafter, his blue eyes showing utter serenity. He didn''t stop to self reflect too much since his transmigration into this fantastical new reality, his own memories and the memories of Noah Eckert having long ago be one and the same. Now, he truly had to stop and think how to proceed forward as the ordeals he faced were simply too enormous! "Primordials, Primordial Beasts, and Parallel Realities¡­" He repeated these words to himself as he began to think. Many thoughts rose and fell, his vast consciousnessputing his thoughts at ridiculous speeds as even with such an ability, Noah stayed still for a whole hour as he was just thinking. His body was outside of the Ethereal Castle that was at the center of this flourish Realm, and the Subjugated Blessed he termed a Clone and had the other half of his consciousness remained in the hidden Dimensional ne where he was handed thest portion of the Legacy of the Usurper. A whole hour...and this was enough to allow Noah to think of many things and possibilities as after it ended, he looked up with a first expression. He gazed at the sea of destiny visible only to him and the minuscule clouds of death that remained, where one way or another...the chance of his death had reduced now to 35% after he had finished setting up his ns! He was heading in the right direction, now...he just had to carry out his ns. ''It''s just going against Primordials, existences that split apart Reality itself eh? How hard can it be?'' His eyes were bright with such a thought as he eased it his heart, his figure disappearing right after. "You all are getting along?" He reappeared in the wide throne room at the heart of the Ethereal Castle where the Antiquity of Love was talking with Annalise and Rose, these three women turning towards him and raising their eyes before they returned to their conversation! Noah smiled at such a scene as he spoke out. "I''ll be gone for a few days. Just exploring here and there. I''ll probably bring you guys along sometime within the next week or two." Sometime within the next week or two! This was the amount of time he needed to prepare as after that, he actually nned to hide Annalise and the others away from this Dimensional Reality entirely and into another one as one of the methods of preparing for whatever threat wasing! The Primordial would never know to search for them in another Reality...but. so he hoped. "Is everything okay?" The others weren''t able to pick up on anything, but his little sister still called out towards him as he nodded with a smile towards her. "You guys tell the Subjugated Blessed if you ever need anything." With such words, his figure disappeared before their eyes as Annalise looked at the spot he left deeply before she returned to their conversation. --- Even though the Idle Gaming System was granted to him by a terrifying being that would try to reap his life...he still had ess to it as after breaking into the Universal Fment Realm- he could traverse through the Infinite Crucible, Tower of Champions, and the Shattered nes features of the System to umte as much loot as possible. When he disappeared before the eyes of Annalise, Love, and Rose, he appeared once more in the Waiting Room where he saw Multiple Features waiting for him to enter. He was currently at the Universal Fment Realm as an Antiquity while his Units were still at the Universal Hegemony Rank, and even though it would most likely be an extremely arduous affair to raise them up to the level of Antiquity- it should still be possible! The core of breaking past this level were Marks of Antiquity, and Noah didn''t know how the Idle Gaming System was designed to bypass this. Whether he would simply be able to fuse 2 Universal Hegemonies into a Universal Fment Realm after he obtained a sufficient amount of Upgrade Crystals was yet to be seen, but he would find out soon enough! His eyes crackled with light as with the vast amounts of Dao and Law Crystals he was getting from Idle Mode across a myriad of Dimensional Rifts, his target remained farming the Infinite Crucible features for the Treasure Troves at the ends of many Beast Waves. As his main body did this, the ''clones that had entered the Dimensional ne to ept thest portion of the Legacy of the Usurper returned to the Celestial ne. He still had the exact form of Noah as his eyes shone with a blue luster, gazing at the ne he had conquered as his figure shed away towards a location of one of the few Universal Dimensional Rifts that were under the influence of the two new factions he had just Subjugated! This would be the job of the Clone in the next few hours- to add more of the Dimensional Rifts to Idle Mode as after Noah reached the Universal Fment Realm along with the power of his Universal Rank Units and Subjugated Hegemonies...he was about to bring the clear times of all past and future Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts to crazy levels. Then, he could begin umting crazy amounts of Universal Cores to continue forging countless Universes within his Origin, even if he didn''t have anywhere near enough Marks of Antiquity to change them into Splendiferous Universes. These Rifts would also be another source for the Upgrade Crystals that Noah had to see just how many were required for even the possibility of birthing Units at the level of Antiquity. The jobs were divided as all that had to ur now was for time to pass! After his clone finished adding new Rifts into Idle Mode, he would move on to slowly clear the Abyssal ne as Noah''s main body dove into the Infinite Crucible while making the efforts to reach into another Dimensional Reality. All of this was to prepare for a grand future and a meeting with the being that gave Noah his System. With haste, Noah continued! Chapter 240 - A Myriad Of Paths! II As if everything was normal, time passed. The Chaotic Universe came under the influence of a single being as none of the forces within the Radiant Cosmos that held this Universe and many more knew anything. In the Celestial ne, Noah spent a few hours within his first day as he cleared and added 7 more Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts, and he even went forward to re-clear the three first ones he obtained already that were under the influence of the past Ster Expanse for a faster clear time. To defeat a range of 5 to 10 Universal Rank Rift Bosses was nothing much for the current Noah, with him continuing to use thebination of the and to first quickly debuff them and reduce their strength, and then he sent his waves of mental energy and even his Units to quickly clear all the Beasts within these Rifts with an average clear time of...5 minutes. The ridiculously high ranked Dimensional Rifts had an average clear time of 5 minutes as just the 10 Rifts that Noah had in Idle Mode would grant him a crazy amount of loot daily. A crazy amount of Cosmic Dao Crystals would surge from the loot stemming from these Rifts as he would be capable of fullyprehending and assimting even such pristine Daos in just a day or two! Cosmic Daos were insanely hard to traverse as their Dao Crystals were even harder to get one''s hands on- and yet the System that a Primordial designed for Noah was giving such treasures to him easily as even now, Noah didn''t understand how it was made to work. But he would continue to abuse it as much as he could to elevate his power across all fields, the field of Daos not being the only one as the overabundance of Universal Coresing out were slowly helping him umte more Universes within his Origin, the current number having already shot from the original 2 to ridiculously rising over 32 Universes within his Origin! An insane number to pull out, but the loot he obtained from Idle Mode of the 10 Universal Rifts in the past 24 hours alone granted him 20 full Universes, while the loot from him climbing the Tower of Champions and Infinite Crucible gave another 10. Of course, he was also increasing his efficiency of Realm Progression as he performed Dual Cultivation with the Architect of the Dao Love, this contributing to the crazy rise in the number of Universes he held. His strength steadily rose as around this time, he found the requirements to fuse two Beasts from the Universal Rank to the Universal Fment Realm were extremely heavy, and even now he wasn''t able to perform a fusion with even a single Unit! So his focus returned to ways of umting more loot as this would involve him extending his reach further...from one Universe and into the next, and even across Dimensions. The information Noah knew about the surrounding Universes near the Chaotic Universe were put together as his Clone would begin to move and extend his influence over these newnds and the Universal Rank Rifts within them, while his main body began looking at the shocking task of traversing Dimensional Realities for the first time! He did this to be able to find a new Reality to hide in before the Primordial arrived, and also newnds to conquer as after the Universes within the Radiant Cosmos he was in were all under him...he wouldn''t be able to extend his influence any further as he couldn''t travel outside of the Cosmos and into the Ruination Sea. If one didn''t have the Cosmic Dao of Ruination under them, they couldn''t survive the terrifying Sea of Ruination where countless Cosmos floated in as if they were stars littering a ster space. So his heart firmed as his main body was currently holding onto the Sword of Shattered Reality, his essence going into it as hummed ever so slowly. A broken sword that had lost over 5% of its effectiveness, and yet the remaining 5% was enough to allow one to cross through into different Realities! Noah could do it with the skills he had gained from the Usurper alone, but using the Relic within his hands was much more efficient as he would bypass many of the requirements he had to fulfill before he could descend onto another Reality. While utilizing the Sword of Shattered Reality, he would be able to open an entrance to allow his consciousness to go through into a unique space time that could show nearby Realities, and his essence had to then reach out into a Cosmos within the Reality he wanted to descend into as he had to extend his influence over a portion of it before he could Descend! This was what the abilities of , , and were made for. For his consciousness to extend his influence over the Universes within a Cosmos as after he had enough of his aura seeping into the Cosmos of this new Reality, he would be able to descend. His actions would be greatly limited before he descended as even though Noah had the memories of the Usurper, he would still have to navigate and learn just howplex this process would be! "Well now¡­" He breathed out as the Sword of Shattered Reality had taken in nearly all of his mana while releasing constant hums, Noah pushing this sword into the space before his eyes as fantastically...it was pierced into as a shocking line began to form. The line was unique in color as it was actually clear, as if Noah was seeing through a transparent ss as he stared into this line! It only opened slightly and no further, and Noah could only send his consciousness in first as he searched for a viable Cosmos in nearby a Reality totch onto. With his blue eyes firm, his mental energy poured into the Sword of Shattered Reality and into the transparent Crack in space, a portion of his consciousness delving into the unique space time as Noah sought to jump into a Parallel Reality for the first time! Chapter 241 - A Test In Traversing Realities! I The first time his consciousness seeped into the crack between Realities gave Noah a unique feeling. A feeling of him being somece he shouldn''t as the surroundings of this spacetime themselves were extremely eerie and off putting! It felt like a ce existences shouldn''t be in as the moment he entered it, Noah''s soul formed into the physical figure of his body. Eyes as blue as the seas, ck hair flowing on his head gloriously, and a cluster of a few Universes visible on his chest to show his grand title as an Antiquity at the Universal Fment Realm. The surroundings around him were a mixture of bleak darkness, with asional shimmering colorful lines leading to unknown locations crossing this bleak darkness! Noah found himself focusing on these lines as near him, there were three that shot off in different directions as they respectively shone in blue, red, and green. Each of these lines represented a possible connection onto a new Reality¡­and Noah could choose to connect to these and see what was required of him before he could seamlessly use this connection and descend, or he could search for other lines simr to this that might have different requirements and restrictions. From the understanding of the Usurper, different Realities had different descriptions depending on their level of development and the strongest of existences within that Reality! Someone with the ability of the Usurper or the Sword of Shattered Reality in hand might only take a few days to establish a connection and descend onto a fairly weak Reality, or they might take weeks if it was a reality where across its Cosmos, powerful existences far above the strength of Antiquities existed! Beings that could look at the power of Antiquities and find itughable¡­such Realities were extremely hard to descend unto as even the Usurper only had some theories and he didn''t fully know why. ''But these lines before me¡­'' The lines before Noah''s eyes ranged in how thick they were, with Noah''s soul going forward as he came in contact with thergest one first. THRUM! His mind was flooded with a vast amount of information the moment he did, a lot of his consciousness bing swallowed up as from it- he was able to findyers andyers of essence blocking his way forward! Theseyers had behind them innumerable lights that represented Cosmos, with Noah being able to send his consciousness to any of these Cosmos for him to begin establishing a connection and n to descend. But before he could send his soul fully and descend...he had to get past the manyyers of defenses that protected these Cosmos. He could do this with a purely strong soul or if he had a unique treasure, where if the Sword of Shattered Reality was not entirely broken and could be used to its full potential, he could have used it to straight away descend unto any Reality! Another way for him to get past the restrictions and descend unto a Cosmos of a Reality was for the inhabitants of that Cosmos to carry his own energy signature, and he could do this by influencing them as if he had a sufficient enough following within a Cosmos...his soul could more easily pass through the barriers and descend. He had to extend his influence to cover a portion of these Cosmos...and he would be given a smooth pathway through! For this, he would have to rely on the and the other debuffing abilities that could span entire Universes, where even these could only be cast after he allowed a sufficient amount of his soul to squeeze in. It was a lot of restrictions andyers of work he had to do, but the rewards were stupendous! "Hooo¡­" Noah''s soul stopped the contact with thergest line of Reality after he saw its restrictions, going forward to touch the other 2 smaller lines near him as he was able to see what the differences would be. If he tried to descend onto thergest Reality that he first touched, it would take him at least a month before he would be able to pass through its barriers, while the smallest Reality would take him merely a week at most! Just a week for his soul to attach to a Cosmos and influence a portion of it before it could pierce through the gaps of the boundaries between Realities and descend down. With such a truth before him, Noah didn''t hesitate as he turned his focus fully onto the smallest line, his figure sitting down in a meditative position in the space around him as he fully came in contact with the boundaries of a new Reality...and tried to pierce through them. He had a singr focus as even though he couldn''t get even 95% of his soul through the boundaries, wisps of it went through as he went forward totch on to a random Cosmos within this Reality! This soul was his seed and will, and as soon as it bloomed and influenced the existences within the Universes of this Cosmos, Noah could send more portions of his soul until he would have sufficient power to forcefully cast the wide area debuffing abilities like the . --- In a certain Universe of a different Reality. A Hegemony was looking behind him with an ashen expression as he was being chased across the void of space, a party of three Hegemonies not too far away from him as they had been chasing him from one Gxy to another! His mana reserves were nearly dry as he felt the threat of death approaching, but he continued to tear through the chaotic void as he would not give up until he was on hisst breath! ''All I did was sleep with just two of their wives, that''s enough toe for my life?!'' He never thought he would be found out, nor that the Hegemonies within his own faction would chase him to death because of it. But as his mana reserves neared depletion, he was unresigned to die as there were still many things he wanted to do! He truly wanted to live, and would grasp at whatevery before him to do so. ''Oh?!'' In the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a shimmering golden light shed a few miles away, and his figure instantly changed directions as he appeared at the location of the golden light in an instant. He shouldn''t stop when he was being chased, but he felt like he had to for this golden light as when he looked before him...he found a broken sword that was releasing powerful hums of power, this sword just floating serenely in the chaotic void! "This¡­" Excitement shot through him as he saw it was a powerful treasure- a treasure that might actually save him from his predicament! He reached out and grabbed onto its hilt smoothly as he sent his essence into it, finding a powerful type of essence shooting back into him akin to a feedback as he felt his body strengthened from it. This essence was extremely pervasive as this Hegemony would normally not allow it to so freely flow inside him, but he let all reservations loose at this moment so he could gain its power and fight off the death that wasing to him. "Open yourself up to me!" The Hegemony bellowed out as churned all his remaining mana into the broken sword that was actually the soul form of Noah''s only wisp that has managed to squeeze through, it''s essence seeping into this being as the soul of the Usurper began totch on to its first subject...a subject that would go on to be influenced into putting even more existences of this Universe under Noah! The more the influence spread, the more wisps of his soul Noah could send through as very soon....he could forcefully cast his own abilities and instantly descend unto the Universes of this Cosmos within a brand new Reality¡­. Chapter 242 - A Test In Traversing Realities! II The Hegemony that Noah got the chance totch his aura onto first stemmed from a Universe that was rtively peaceful as a single power oversaw the Universe. He belonged to this Power as after gettingcent for a few hundreds of thousands of years, this Hegemony actually began to fool around with the spouses of other Hegemonies as he was nearly chased to his death! But the image of a broken sword that Noah had taken the inspiration from his Sword of Shattered Reality saved him as thereafter...this Hegemony went on to turn the tables against the attackers chasing him. "Haha! Why aren''t you screaming for my head anymore, us?!" The Hegemony waved the new treasure he had gained as it released terrifying rays of red light that contained the essence of many Cosmic Daos, his attackers not being able to keep him in check as they were defeated in a short few seconds. "Hmm¡­" The Hegemony then looked at the scene of his enemies falling before him as a seed sprouted in his heart, not knowing that it was the influence of the sword he held in his hands! The budding seed was a wanting of him to experience more being under him...for him to stand over the Universe he was in as the sole powerhouse that looked down at everything else! As soon as this need bloomed, Noah''s path became even smoother as in the boundaries between Realities, he continued to release more wisps of his soul power as they continued to seep into the weapon that was being used for Conquest. To Noah, the matter of hours and days didn''t matter as in the period of the next few days, he saw the journey of the Hegemony he hadtched onto go on to take back all grievances against those that wished to kill him, gain all the beauties he was ying around in before, and obtain Hegemony over his whole Universe in a short period of just a few days! By that time, Noah already had obtained enough ess due to the whole Universe of this Cosmos falling under his influence through the Hegemony, and he could not take more drastic actions as it was at this time that he imnted the ideas of also conquering the surrounding Universes within this Cosmos. "A Hegemony with dominion over multiple Universes¡­" The chosen existence drooled at such an idea as just a few hours after getting it, he crossed the barrier of his Universe and entered a new one as his broken down golden sword was the first thing pulled out when he arrived. "What more power do you have¡­" The Hegemony found himself questioning as his mana flooded into the sword, and on the other side- Noah''s eyes shone as after the requirements were met, he was finally able to cast and to be capable of affecting an entire Universe! THRUM! The broken down sword hummed as it released a crimson light that went to cover countless light years and fully upy the Universe, this action only allowing Noah''s influence to spread faster as if anyone wanted to be released from the shocking debuff effects of the two skills, they had to be beings on the side of the Usurper. Noah didn''t even cast Heretical Malediction as he didn''t need it for this Reality, knowing that another two days was enough for this Reality as after he cast the two deadly skills, the Hegemony that had been fully influenced to move under his control easily dominated the forces within this Universe...and it was then a smooth journey to do the same for the next Universe and the one after that! And so his influenced forces moved. In a short period of time, this being achieved kingship of a second Universe as he then went on to repeat this process for four more, eventually as fulfilling the requirements for Noah to actually fully descend into this Reality! 7 days. This was how long it took Noah to actually have enough influence, where just 6 Universes within this Cosmos that had dozens in this new Reality was enough to allow for his descent. The line he grabbed on in the boundary of space between Realities shone brightly as it seemingly called out to him, Noah''s foul finding it easy to pass through the restrictions now as he began to cross the barriers between different Realities. It was an action only the powerful Primordials he knew of took, and yet here he was just months after he transmigrated doing the same thing. Within a short period of time, he followed the path hid other wisps of soul had left behind as within minutes, his raging soul bloomed from the very same Universe he had first infected a Hegemony! "Ah¡­" It bloomed as it took on the form of his body, a figure with ck hair and sharp blue eyes appearing in the chaotic void of space of a certain Universe. He tried to breathe out calmly as even though it was only the form of his soul that passed through, he had actually seeded. In traversing Realities¡­.he had actually seeded as this was the first step out of many! "This¡­" When he felt the essence around him, everything felt starkly different from the environment he knew as he genuinely felt he was some ce knew, his sharp eyes spreading his aura out wildly as he understood the significance of his actions. His eyes turned up as he stared at his vast destiny and fortune above his head once more. There, the dark clouds that forecasted a chance of death had all but reduced to a mere 10% Chance the moment that he was sessful in traversing Realities! It meant that he could hide from Primordials in this manner...and it meant he could preserve his life. It also meant he could increase his strength and the number of Subjugated Blessed under him as he could not dominate the Universes of this Cosmos...exploring it to see whatever treasures it held as this was only the first step for him. "Let''s go!" With eyes shing with bright blue light, his dominating mental energy rolled out as it sought for Hegemonies to Subjugate and Universes to dominate! Chapter 243 - Preparations, Clearing The Abyssal Plane! I While a portion of his soul began to run rampant in the Universes of another Cosmos in a separate Reality, Noah returned his tired main body while chugging Potions back to the Ethereal Realm of his reality as he called for Annalise, Love, and Rose. The three women had been getting along as they talked about the anomaly that was him, and Noah called them all together now as their figures walked in the hallways of the huge Ethereal Castle and eventually appeared a vibrant garden that bloomed with all sorts of colorful greenery. "What''s wrong?" Annalise could feel the heart mood in Noah''s expression as she was the first to ask. Noah turned to look towards her and the two other women beside her as he spoke with careful eyes. "There is an enemy I haven''t met, and nor do I know who they are. But they areing...and they are as powerful as they are unpredictable." ¡­! He said something that they didn''t fully grasp as he continued without pause. "I cannot promise to be capable of protecting you all if they make a move...not in this Reality anyways..." Like a bombnding in their brains, they looked towards him in a stupor as he talked about Parallel Realities, Primordials, and Primordial Beasts. "There''s a dense history there that even I don''t fully know, but the main thing is that I can likely protect you if I move you guys to another Reality." Noah''s qprs finished after a lengthy exnation as the three women still looked towards him in shock. "Parallel Realities¡­" Love said this in barely a whisper as Annalise and Rose had already made their decisions the moment Noah began to tell them about this. As he arrived at this point, Noah spoke of the most crucial details of his preparations- how he would actually achieve this huge order! Crossing himself to another Reality was already hard enough, but bringing other existences into it as well? Such a task was nigh impossible until he had greater levels of power. But...he was also a ridiculous being that had many cards to y. "My ability to Subjugate is a unique one, making those Subjugatedpletely loyal to me for as long as they live." Noah began to speak carefully as heid out his ns. "They are connected to me on another level as I have another ability I can cast associated with them- an ability called The Emperor''s Universe that allows me to call forth my Subjugated beings through my connection with them across space and time. There will be a price to pay in order to do such a thing across Realities, but it is doable nheless!" WAA! His shocking words reverberated out as the three girls only continued to listen. "And when ites to my Subjugated, just as I can form a connection with them and have an unbreakable bond of loyalty...I can also choose to break this bond myself and return them to their full consciousness whenever I wish." "If we do this, you guys will be back to who you are as soon as I sessfully summon you into the other Reality." ¡­! This was Noah''s preparation! This was one of his answers to an approaching enemy that he didn''t know just how deadly and destructive they would be! "When do we start?" Annalise answered right away as she trusted Noahpletely. He looked at this little sister of his with a smile as when he turned to Rose, she nodded without hesitation as well! He expected Love to maybe take more time with this issue, but she agreed without anyints at the same time as the two girls- the reason for this being that her Dao of Love still had a link between her and Noah, and she could still see his true intentions. So she knew that he wasn''t lying! "Alright." With a heavy nod, Noah''s eyes began to sh a glorious blue as his mental energy wave stretched out towards those closest around him. To make them temporary Subjugated beings just until he could transfer them to another Reality through their unique connection of his Origin and soul! --- BOOM! BOOM! As his tired main body did this, the Clone that had the task of adding new Dimensional Rifts from the other Universes within the Radiant Cosmos had aplished this task topletion over the past week. Noah moved unhindered across the Cosmos as it had not borne any Antiquities yet, and this meant he was the strongest being there as he enjoyed the Rank of a big boss that nobody could stand up against! So he visited new Cosmos that had unique races of beings and their own kingdoms and Empires, but none of them could withstand his might as he Subjugated the strongest and obtained their memories, and he then delved into their Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts go add more of them into Idle Mode. On the 8th day since this began, it was nowpleted as Noah had traversed across 49 Universes within the Radiant Cosmos as he came across countless Quintillions of existences, and he had added more than 580 new Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts all with an average of 5 minute clearance as the amount of Loot he received was utterly shocking! The number of Universal Coresing in daily would be enough to allow him to forge tens of Universes, and the Upgrade Crystals were piling up as he would soon see if he could truly fuse to produce Beasts at the rank of Universal Fment, and he had countless skills to choose from from the loot drops that they were enough to overwhelm anybody. But after Noah finished this, he simply waited for the results to show in the next 24 hours as he would collect all the loot gained in Idle Mode from all of the newly added Rifts. At this time, the body that half of his other consciousness moved in arrived in the Abyssal Dimensional ne as his eyes shone with sharpness, and being the first skills to spread out from him as the time hade to wipe out the Abyssal Beasts off of these crimsonnds. At the end of it all, a so called Taboo Treasure existed as Noah expected the connection with a Primordial to possibly start here, so he moved with care to begin wiping out quintillions of existences and devour their souls as his preparations were nearly done! Chapter 244 - Preparations, Clearing The Abyssal Plane! II Noah''s main body looked at the scene of the three women lined up before his eyes. Each of them had their eyes tinged with a blue color as it showed they were subjugated, his heart somber as he never thought he would do such a thing in the past! Love, Rose, and his own little sister were looking at him with eyes of utter trust and reverence after they allowed him to easily influence their minds, all for the sake of taking them across Realities as only after this did he know for sure they would be safe. Now, it was all left to his soul that had been moving across the Universes within the Cosmos of another Reality. He had already subjugated the Hegemonies of half of the Universes within these Cosmos, his influence entrenched deeply as he could ess arge amount of his power and move freely! At this moment, inside of a certain Word within a Universe of this new Parallel Reality. The world was filled with verdant greenery, with trees extending for miles being seen piercing the skies. Noah''s soul form was situated on a small patch of grasnd as his body brimmed with power, his blue eyes constantly shing as he drew in the essence of the broken Sword of Shattered Reality swimming silently within the depths of his Origin to support the casting of the next skills. BZZT! His surroundings began to vibrate as after his energy reached the peak, he called out slowly. "The Emperor''s Universe. Spatial Puppet Master." WAA! All around him, ster light erupted as the illusory form of a Universe erupted out! On top of this, his authority of being able to teleport his Subjugated to him was also enacted! The problem was that their locations were so far apart as they were in entirely different Realities. But¡­ The Emperor''s Universe established its own unique domain of space that heavily debuffed enemies while also allowing Noah to call forth all his Subjugated Blessed if he wished. So from this Universe...the illusory figures of Love, Rose, and Annalise began to form! BZZT! Noah felt his mana being drained at a crazy rate as his eyes shed sharply, pulling at the mana reserves of all the Hegemonies he had conquered across the two Cosmos within two different Realities as he continued to supply mama to the two skills. After their figures were pulled out into the illusory Universe, the essence of Spatial Puppet Master finished the job as Noah''s authority to call forth his Subjugated Blessed actualized their Origins and Souls, the figures of these three women bypassing the boundaries between Realities in a unique way that wouldn''t have been possible unless one had Noah''s unique abilities! "Haha!" Noahughed boisterously as his other body in the Ethereal Realm saw the three women entirely disappear as they arrived into the verdant world within the new Reality. Sess! When he saw the three women still looking at him with the sh of blue in their eyes, Noah waved his hands as the essence of the Dominator that filed their minds was dispelled, the Blue light fading from their eyes as they came to once more. "This¡­" As an Antiquity, Love woke up the quickest as she looked around and felt the unique new environment around them. Annalise and Rose also woke up from the state of being Subjugated as their minds retained their autonomy, looking around them in shock as Noah smiled brightly! "Now, there are no worries!" His voice was carefree as after doing this action, it effectively meant he and those he cared for would be utterly safe from whatever threat the Primordial could unleash. His clone was moving freely to decimate the Abyssal Beasts in the Abyssal ne to see just what woulde at the end of it, and his main body that actually had the smallest portion of his vast consciousness remained in the Ethereal Realm even after the figures of the three women disappeared before him. This body and its Origin was the main focus of the Idle Gaming System that Noah was granted, so Noah had to leave it in this Reality. His soul was already in another Reality as his will had been spread to many Subjugated Hegemonies, so if anything happened to his main body...he would still be able to move and keep on living with the vast portions of his soul that were spread around! In theing conflict, even if his main body had to perish for him to sessfully escape the attention of a Primordial, the soul he had already sent to another Reality would live on. The myriad of Subjugated Blessed he had...his consciousness could also live on through them! "Haha,e! Let me show you guys this new Cosmos." He spoke towards Annalise and the other two women as he felt like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders, and he was unafraid of what was toe. --- BOOM! Beams of sma tore across the Abyssal ne for trillions of miles, wiping out countless trillions of Beasts in a blink as this portion of Noah''s soul had now begun going utterly crazy with his attacks. His dominating consciousness saw the rising Origins and Souls from these existences as before they were broken down into Loot, his consciousness directly pulled at them as he used the to directly devour them! THRUM! His soul became even vaster and stronger as he devoured trillions of souls, and he still continued. The goal was 100 Quintillion Abyssal Beasts. Wiping out an entire Dimensional ne...it was a shocking affair, and yet it was what continued to make Noah''s soul so insanely strong that he could freely divide it across two Realities and move with fervor across both.. 100 Quintillion was a terrifying number, but it was one that Noah would aplish in merely a day. What woulde at the end of it were dangerous rewards, and from what his raging destiny that was gradually pushing away the dark clouds of death told him¡­there would also be a meeting with a spectacr existence! Chapter 245 - Preparations, Clearing The Abyssal Plane! III The Extinction of all existences within a ne. This was what Noah was currently doing as he flew across the crimson skies of the Abyssal ne while his mental energy waves erupted out to decimate the Abyssal Beasts before. When Noah first obtained this feature of Abyssal ne Expedition, it mentioned the Abyssal Beasts as Vile creatures that devoured Dimensional nes. Now that Noah knew about the Primordial Beasts that were born to devour Universes and Cosmos, he saw this feature being even more unique as it seemed like a message from the one that had him his System! The Primordial that had designed the Idle Gaming System and its features had the eradication of a type of beast that could devour nes, almost as if they were raising Noah to face these existences first before he came across Primordial Beasts. That was what the Champion of Reality would do. Face the Primordial Beasts that wished to devour all the Cosmos within a Reality as they protected it for a countless number of years! "Will it really y out that way though?" Noah spoke out vibrantly as his mental waves raged out to the Abyssal Beasts below him. He was changing the pressure of gravity itself in every region he passed through [Gravity Maniption], the bodies of the Beasts below him being turned into meat paste as he had been doing this for the whole day! His current body was in the Ancient Terror Form as he looked like a Primal creature from horror stories, all of his abilities from his inherent skills flying out wildly. The counter on the Abyssal ne Expedition was pulsing with a red light as Noah nced at it. 99 Quintillion. After a few hours, he was already nearly his goal as he had been wiping out any grotesque Abyssal Hegemonies that came his way, only having a few more light years to cover before all of the Abyssal Beasts within this ne disappeared. ''Thest region¡­'' His Origin felt tired from the constant battles, but his eyes still remained their sharp blue light as he was excited to just get everything over with. For the Primordial toe and see how this ys out. For him to be free of this being as he cut off the strings trying to control him! Since he arrived in the Ethereal Realm and watched the death of his parents here powerlessly, he promised himself to never again be ced under the boot of another being with his own life not being in his control. BOOM! His thoughts were many as he moved, thest quintillion Abyssal Beasts being wiped out soon after as Noah thought about himself and what was toe. The zing skies of the Abyssal ne calmed. Noah''s Ancient Terror form receded as he watched his sma beams wipe out thest Abyssal Hegemony and their cluster of Beasts. SHIING! A shining light began to shine thereafter as this crimson Dimensional ne began to shake, signs of instability showing themselves as it began to break down! Noah''s eyes were calm as he watched a certain message appear before his eyes. The Idle Gaming Interface began to shine gold as Noah was utterly calm, this clone of his teleporting away from the shattering abyssal ne as he appeared in the Ethereal Realm of the Sublunary ne where his main body was. The consciousness flew out of this clone as it returned to Noah, the Subjugated Blessed sent away soon after as Noah continued to see the same message repeating itself before him! "Hoo¡­" His breath was steady as he reminded himself he was prepared. More than half of his soul was in another Reality, and he had even Subjugated Hegemonies in this Reality as his marker was spread far and wide. The Sword of Shattered Reality was smoothly with the Origin of the other half of his soul in another Reality along with Annalise, Rose, and Love. Everything was prepared as even if he was killed, he wouldn''t truly perish! THRUM! His surroundings began to shake at this moment as yet another prompt appeared before his eyes. ¡­! It was a different type of prompt than the mechanical ones he always heard from the System- this tone seemingly filled with veneration and respect! ''The Defiant Prince!'' Noah repeated this name in his made as his eyes shot upwards, shockingly finding the skies within the Ethereal Realm splitting apart as if they were torn, terrifying crimson and white essence flooding out of it as it nearly made Noah pull back. ''That should be Ruination Essence and...the Primordial Essence?'' His brain worked quickly as he dredged the memories of the Usurper to understand what he was seeing, where he was now seeing the pristine Essence of Ruination along with the other Essence that was known as its counterpart- the essence of the Primordial Dao! The being that was arriving seemed to wondrously be capable of controlling these abstruse Daos that were very hard toprehend, Noah staring unblinkingly as from the torn space...a figure stepped out serenely. TAP! TAP! TAP! His steps resounded across the entire space, not just the Ethereal Realm alone but across the Sublunary ne as this being came with shocking power and majesty! Adorned in an exquisite white suit that was glimmering even more with a golden tie, an existence with smoothly flowing golden hair and eyes appeared before Noah. He seemed young and old at the same time, his age ranging from 20s to 50s in a matter of seconds as once couldn''t properly guess even if they tried! The light within his eyes contained seemingly innumerable ster universes, this being carrying himself in a manner Noah had not seen from anybody else before as the torn space behind him closed, his figure remaining in the skies as his eyes shed with a light of brilliance when he nced down towards Noah. THRUM! The gaze alone caused Noah''s origin to shake as his strong soul was the only thing keeping him together, his eyes actually seeing an amused smile etching itself onto the dazzling face that would cause any woman to fall down with weak knees. "Hmm? My little Champion has already grown this much?" ¡­! A personage of extreme power and might appeared before Noah, causing for the events that would bloom into a fantastical future to start at this point in time! Chapter 246 - A Primordial And His Champion! I Pure power and might radiated from the being that just stepped out of the torn space, the flood of Ruination and Primordial Essenceing to a stop as space folded behind him serenely. He was dressed in a sleek white suit as his eyes danced with a shocking amount of light that Noah was only able to adapt and see them clearly after a few seconds. What he found was that the iris within the eyes of this being were extremely unique, where he could see a circr row of golden swords in the iris of the left eye that shone with a white gold light! In the iris within his right eye, Noah saw an etching of a crimson gold pentagram that released a shocking amount of oppressive pressure to bear down on his soul as the eyes of this being alone seemed to hold a unique power. "Oh? My apologies little one, I haven''t been to Lower Realities in a while so I forget myself." His dazzling voice came out as the horrific pressure he released from his presence alone faded, Noah realizing that he could breathe once more as his soul wasn''t of the verve of destabilizing. The power of this Primordial...it was truly dreadful as only after he was consciously hiding his power could Noah even stand against him! "Well now¡­" The ster Primordial came to float close to Noah as he was a head taller, the mesmerizing golden hair and unique eyes of this existence appearing a few inches away from him as he spoke with a smile. "So, how do you like everything so far? When destiny told me of the appearance of a mutated soul within this Reality, you were a perfect choice for a Champion as you assimted well with the System- especially with the environment of Dimensional Rifts in this Reality." ¡­! "You were bound to grow exceptionally well as many other Realities don''t have intertwining Dimensional nes at this level with all these Rifts. Your System should have given you these results...but a few monthster. For this, you are rather exceptional." His golden hair flowed freely as he spoke these words as if he was praising a small child! His words carried immense arrogance and pride as he continued to tall before Noah even replied, this time his face adopting a reminiscing expression as if he was remembering something from a long time ago. "And that Cecil really thought her Invincible System was so great to instill in her Champions...this Idle Gaming System is much more intuitive and easy to raise up beings under special environments! Hah, no matter." The Primordial came out of his monologue as he truly focused on Noah, his unique eyes shing sharply as a ball of light left his mind and instantly shot into Noah! "This should exin a few things without me having to ramble on for too long." The ball of light that uncontrobly shot into Noah overflowed with information- information that Noah heard before from the Great Usurper as this time, it was limited only to Primordial Beasts who wanted to erase Reality, and the powerful Champion that had to stand against all of these Beasts to prevent this from happening! "A grand cause isn''t it? Protecting your Reality from Beasts as you enjoy your System Idly in happiness? Come on now, let me hear your thoughts. You don''t want me to read your mind, do you?" His devilishly handsome face held a powerful smile as he spoke, Noah finally looking at this being as he put on a quizzical expression and spoke. "This System...how could such a thing even be possible? How does the clearing of the nes within Dimensional Rifts allow me to obtain Loot from them over and over again?" Noah''s eyes shone with a sharp light as he wanted to know more about the Idle Gaming System and nothing else! He also had to speak up as if he didn''t, this existence actually shocked him to be capable of reading his mind. "Oh?" The eyebrows of the Ster being before him rose in surprise at this being the question,ughing thereafter as he waved his hands to cause a unique multicolored essence to appear before them. "Out there, there are a vast number of things that one can do when they achieve a sufficient amount of power. One of these things is having a unique type of essence that makes many impossible things possible!'' "The power of systems...it''s something that only Primordials could do as it is the set up of construct at the depths of the soul. Once someone has this construct, they are capable of doing amazing things as Systems are simply something that can induce alterations in Reality." ¡­! Alterations in reality! The Primordial said such a thing simply as he continued with a smile. "Your particr System works well in this Reality due to the myriad of Dimensional Rifts within it, and it is designed to produce alteration to the results you get when you clear a Rift among being able to ess ancient nes." "Oh yeah, did you like the Tower of Champions and Infinite Crucible? I made it so that you could continuously battle Beasts from destroyed Realities, their souls stuck in something called a loop as it''s truly interesting¡­" Noah''s heart shook more and more as he heard the exnation that even until now didn''t fully make sense! "But that''s the gist of it. Anything more and you''ll need an Edict to understand. When you achieve Cosmic Realm in the future and begin setting up your...well, when you achieve a sufficient level of power then you can better understand this. For now, just enjoy it hm?" With a domineering smile, the Primordial spoke like so as Noah repeated his words over and over again in his mind. A system was a constructyered onto a being''s soul...this construct capable of inducing changes in Reality¡­ There were still many pieces he was missing, but this was a start! "Now, before we proceed forward with your reward forpleting the initial phase, let''s have a look at your Soul Record...shall we?" THRUM! The unique eyes of the Primordial glimmered in scintiting lights as they shot out terrifying beams that locked onto Noah! Chapter 247 - A Primordial And His Champion II Soul Record! Noah only heard this word once before the eyes of the Primordial released rays of light towards his direction. Beams of lightnded on Noah as they scanned him up and down, and he felt a foreign influence descend unto him as it pierced into his deepest secrets that nobody should know! The being before him was too terrifying as the things he could do were all much too marvelous. Noah epted this as while the prative lights began to undte over his body, he sighed while speaking out whaty in his heart. "What if...I do not wish to spend the rest of my life fighting Primordial Beasts?" RUMBLE! Noah spoke lightly, but his words carried such immense weight that he nearly felt himself sinking down the moment he said them! "Hmm?" The calm air turned sour. The golden and white light that shone across all sides seemingly faltered and came to a stop as the devilishly handsome face of the Primordial gradually lost its smile. He didn''t wish to spend his life below another being as he was pulled along like a puppet to serve their purposes! He didn''t want to go against the beliefs he made when he watched his parents in the Ethereal Realm killed before his eyes...he didn''t want to put his life and well being at the mercy of another. But speaking out like so...Noah knew what the result would be as he recalled the words of the Usurper. The moment this being found out about his connection with him and the fact that he obtained a shattered Primordial Relic...it didn''t even matter what words of wishes would be exchanged. The Usurper believed Noah''s fate with this being would be sealed right then and there! "Oh dear." The uniquely shaped eyes of the Primordial shone sharply as Noah felt an invible force wrap around him and lock everything down. If Noah tried to use any spatial skills at this moment, he would have found everything absolutely locked down by a unique power as such a thing would only be a dream. "Now why would you go and say that?" THRUM! His surroundings began to shake. The voice of the Primordial turned utterly cold and devoid of emotions as he waved his hands and caused an interface that Noah was used to seeing all this time appear. It was the Idle Gaming System Interface as this time, it held his image as well as his stats and everything about him! This being in his sleek white suit looked at such a screen with a disappointed gaze as he began to recount. "Unlocked the System easy enough, rose through the ranks quickly with the loot, explored the features¡­" He called out a great deal of information as the prative light he had shot into Noah truly pulled up everything he had done since he unlocked the System, the final piece in all this finallying to light as the next words from the Primordial affirmed it. "In the Empyrean ne, cleared the Dimensional Rift of the Legacy of the Great...Usurper? Usurper?!" BOOM! The eyes of the Primordial shed out with an intense and shocking light as after reading this record, his devilishly handsome face began to seep anger. "I chased and killed this wretch down years ago...how did it manage to corrupt my work now?!" His eyes shot out bolts of powerful light as they continued to read the Soul Record! "The ability to traverse Dimension, and then the wretch handed you a¡­" The words of the Primordial came to a stop. His impassive eyes turned towards Noah''s own as with increasing coldness, he spoke out tly. "What did he give you?" ¡­! Noah''s heart shook as shockingly, the Primordial seemed to actually not be able to read in his Soul Record anything that mentioned the Primordial Relic! Noah remained quiet as his heart eased even more, d that this powerful being at least had one area they weren''t perfect in. He remained silent as the eyes of the Primordial lost all decorum, his white gold figure slowly floating away from Noah as he spoke out with disappointment. "There cannot be a Champion that traverses to other Realities. Such a thing is only a privilege for Primordials...and you have gained the abilities from a wretch that should have been erased a long time ago." BZZZT! Immense waves of power began to collect around this being as he looked towards Noah while shaking his head. "For the birth of the Champion in this Reality to be Tainted by such a being...what a shame. Shameful thing, tell me what that wretch gave you and I can let you live. Hand to me whatever is interfering with even the discerning of a Soul Record." He spoke to Noah in amanding fashion as even though he couldn''t move or carry out any skills, Noah actually found himself calm in this situation! His preparations were enough that even if he died here, he would be okay. It also meant that he would escape the influence of a Primordial, but such a thing woulde at a high cost. His raging destiny told him what this cost was, but for him to lead his own life without being controlled by another...he would pay this cost. Thus, he spoke out calmly. "I do not wish to move under the aims of another." WAA! He didn''t reply to the question of the Primordial as he spoke out his heart, but this only caused the anger of the being before him to increase! "I don''t care what you wish for. You are merely a failed product that needs to be purged...whatever secrets you have, I will rip out for myself. What I will begin with...is the System I handed to you!" ¡­! The words Noah expected to hear came. His heart undted with waves of emotions as towards this body that couldn''t even move, the Primordial''s unique essence reached deep into his soul as it wanted to pull out something that Noah couldn''t even sense before this! Chapter 248 - Something Given Can Always Be Taken! What was given could always be taken away. Noah knew this every time that he nced at his destiny after he finished hisst meeting with the Usurper. He knew that it was something he would have to ovee, but it still hurt regardless when it actually came. The Idle Gaming System was not Noah''s- it was the power of another terrifyingly powerful being as at this moment, this existence was taking it away! "Ahhh!" Noah felt like a part of him was being ripped out as the moment that the Primordial reached out, his very soul felt like hooks had entered it as they were pulling with great force. Pulling with such utter force against everything he had as something etched deep within him- the very same System that he awoke to as it made him something from barely anything...such a thing was seeing ripped out from him. The Primordial was heartless as he cared not for the pain, continuing the process even faster as Noah felt a portion of him ripped out, leaving something nk and iplete in his soul as he could hardly breathe after this process was done! "What I granted...I have taken. As for you¡­" His gaze was emotionless as it looked at Noah, seeing this failed Champion stare back at him with eyes filled with anger and defiance after he had his System pulled out of his origin and soul! The stare was a unique one as it showed no fear against this great personage, the Primordial looking at this as his anger only rose. "You think I cannot hurt you? You think you can stare at me in defiance after I''ve taken the one thing that caused you to rise to the level you are at right now?!" WAA! The voice of the Primordial became increasingly chilling as he grabbed onto Noah''s body, his robust hands grabbing his head and pushing it outwards as he was forced to watch the surroundings of the Ethereal Realm. "Let me show you. First, the Realm you were born in." THRUM! Their surroundings began to shake madly as from the left eye of the Primordial, countless golden swords swirled as they released a sharp light, and Noah watched it shock as the space of the Ethereal Realm began to shatter and break into storms of chaotic spatial essence! "Watch." The voice of the Primordial remained utterly cold as his eyes shone brighter, Noah watching the vast Ethereal Realm he was in terrifyingly be folded and shattered into a void of storms in a mere second. The entire Realm and the billions of creatures within it! SHAA! Their figures became wrapped in a spatial light as Noah found they were out of the Ethereal ne, the hidden door to this Realm shattered into pieces as the voice of the Primordial continued. "The Dimensional ne you were born in." ¡­! The golden eye filled with rows of circr swords shed gloriously once more as simr to the Ethereal Realm, Noah saw the surrounding space littered with starry space and ster bodies beginning to break and tear like a mere piece of ss! "Why¡­" He could understand this being killing him. He could ount for many things...but he didn''t expect the personage that was a Primordial to actually shatter a realm as he now proceeded to shatter the entire Sublunary ne! "Because I can." His cold voice rang out. "Because I have the power to do so, and nothing can stop me. I want you to understand that that is what you said no to. I want you to know the power that you could havee close to achieving if you had simply been a good little pet." RUMBLE! "That Realm and this Dimension...the blood of trillions falls on your hands. Know this before your death." The words of this existence were utterly brutal as Noah stared at the sight of an entire Dimensional te being torn apart, feeling his body and soul beginning to burn at this moment as blue mes erupted from the Primordial and danced to cover his body. "Even if you are a failed product, I will still give you a quick death. If there ever was a next life, learn your lesson then." A burning blue me covered everything. As Noah nced at a shattering Dimensional ne, his body and soul were consumed by this zing blue me as the site of a shattering Dimension was the only thing he saw. The only thing that a portion of his soul experienced! "..." What was left behind was a single Primordial in the midst of a shattering Dimension, this being actually clicking his lips as he looked around with displeasure. "Now I have to go find another useless Lower Existence in this Realitypatible with a System to be a Champion. What a damn waste!" With words of displeasure, this being was wrapped in a spatial light as he faded away. He returned just as quickly as he hade leaving behind a wake of shocking destruction and misery that resulted in trillions dying out of nowhere! --- In another Reality. "..." Noah was gasping deeply as he found his eyes and other orifices to be bleeding, the shocking amount of damage the other portion of his soul felt being something utterly shocking as it was somehow even felt by the other portion of his soul in another Reality! His heart felt even more pain and guilt as he recalled the scene of the Ethereal ne and entire Dimension being shattered just for fear to be instilled in him before his death! If he hadn''t made preparations and sent Annalise and Rose into this Reality as well..such a thought wasn''t even something he wanted to entertain at this moment. At the same time, Noah also felt the emptiness in his Origin and Soul that represented something he couldn''t sense before, and yet now it was the only thing he could sense. There was a gap in his Soul as there, there were echoes of the inscription of a wondrous System that granted him many things. "Idle Gaming System Interface¡­" He called out lightly as nothing popped up before his eyes. "..." He felt this nkness clearly as at the same time, he also felt an immense weight lifted off his shoulders. A relief of not being under threat of anything as he felt reborn! As for the lost Idle Gaming System? "If a Primordial can make a System...so can I!" WAA! His voice carried anger and power and his eyes zed with arcs of blue light, a chapter in his lifeing to a close as he dealt with the repercussions of his actions and the actions of a Primordial! Chapter 249 - Search For The Supreme Cosmic Daos! I Within a Universe known as the Sapphire Universe. This was the fifth Universe Noah had delved into after he arrived in the new Cosmos of this reality, finding the name of this Cosmos to be the Otion Cosmos! The Sapphire Universe always glimmered with the color blue as one could see glimmering unique blue seas stretched across the void of space, this Universe and many of those in this Otion Cosmos being different from the ones Noah knew from his old Chaotic Universe and Radiant Cosmos. Unlike the Chaotic Universe, the many universes in the Otion Cosmos could be seen with a myriad of gxies floating across their chaotic voids, being unlike the Chaotic Universe that had three Dimensional nes filled with ster bodies. Within any given Universe in the Otion Cosmos, one woulde across countless gxies floating serenely in the chaotic void of space that only powerful beings could traverse. Noah enjoyed the serene color of blue within the Sapphire Universe as his own blue eyes were staring at a vast floating blue river across the cerulean void of space, his eyes filled with too many thoughts as he viewed the reflection of his own destiny. It shone with a serene gold as there wasn''t an ounce of dark shadows, his life fully being out of danger even though his main body and a portion of his soul had perished! Along with it, his Idle Gaming System had been taken as there weren''t any loot for him to collect every hour, even though his soul could still sense the Units tied to him and the countless Potions, Upgrade Crystals, Cores, Cosmic Dao Crystals, and many more things that he had in his own spatial holding. When he closely analyzed his origin and soul, he saw a literal portion of it etched out, but it was etched out in unique asymmetrical markings as if he visualized his soul like a clear circle- there were countless runic markings on it that were currently ripped out as they only left behind shadows of the marks! He knew nothing about Systems or the unique essence that the Primordial said only existences like it held, but he could see whatever that unique essence was- it was bound to his soul with the empty markings he could currently see within. As long as he refilled these markings and learned more about Systems and the unique power required to wield them or grant them, he was confident he could re-establish his Idle Gaming System- and this time it would be his own as he could design it however he wished! His destiny affirmed this as it churned above him, his blue eyes shining brightly as the heavy emotions and mood in his mind were lifted- even if by a little. "It is still unbelievable even now." A sonorous voice rang out behind him as the figure of the Antiquity of Love appeared. Noah continued staring out nkly towards the blue river stretching across the ster chaotic void before him, Love floating beside him and staring at his face with careful care as she continued to speak. "I don''t know what we ran from in our old Reality¡­or what you faced there, but I''ll be the one to tell you that life will be filled with a lot of pain and sorrow just like that. I have lived for many years, and this was one of the many things I learned. After all is done, you just have to keep moving forward." The clear hands of Love moved as her essence tugged on the blue river before them, the colorful liquid swirling in her hands as Noah turned towards her with his clear blue eyes. He already knew what he had to do, but thepany and words like this were weed as they reduced the heavy weight on his mind. He forced a smile towards Love as he spoke lightly. "I''ve taken the memories of countless beings that have lived for millions of years, you know? I sometimes feel like I''ve lived all those years myself¡­" His words caused Love to raise her eyebrows as she replied sharply. "Then act like it." WAA! Her dark eyes were like an endless abyss as Noah nodded with a smile, feeling the auras of Annalise and Rose also appearing around them as they also finished their exploration of the Sapphire Universe. "So, what will you do now?" Love posed this question as she nodded towards the newly arriving Annalise and Rose. Noah looked at all of them as his sharp eyes began to shine brightly, his voice echoing out. "I need to get my hands on the Cosmic Dao of Ruination or the Primordial Dao¡­these are required if one wishes to leave a Cosmos and traverse the Ruination Sea to locate other Cosmos within a Reality¡­" Yes! Noah had to get his hands on these supreme Cosmic Daos as at this moment, he was only limited to remaining in a single Cosmos every time he jumped onto another Reality! A Reality was filled with innumerable Cosmos as if he could traverse the Ruination Sea that held them, he could Subjugate the countless Hegemonies and Antiquities found throughout, and he would eventually evene across stronger beings and unique treasures that one could only across in certain regions. The stage of Antiquity wasn''t the strongest as even the past Great Usurper that achieved this had traveled to Realities that had Cosmos filled with stronger beings that could even rip apart Primordial Beasts. But for Noah to explore a reality and find all of these things¡­he had to first fulfill the prerequisite of traversing the Ruination Sea. He had to gainprehension in the Dao of Ruination or the Primordial Dao as to do this aside from spending millions of years trying, one had to obtain unique treasures among other methods! From the memories of the Usurper, Noah knew of items called Cosmic Treasures that one could grant oneprehension in such supreme Daos, and this was a method that he wanted to search for at this moment. Of course, for Noah¡­it was also much simpler as he could also just obtain a Subjugated Blessed thatprehended any of these wondrous Cosmis Daos! There were many possibilities, and Noah had to move and explore the single Cosmos he could jump into within multiple Realities until he found what he needed before he could really spread his power and recreate his System! Chapter 250 - Search For The Supreme Cosmic Daos! II His goals were set, and so Noah moved to carry them out. Within a few days, he fully traversed across the 65 Universes within this new Cosmos he arrived in, putting many Hegemonies and the few Antiquities under him as his Subjugated Blessed. The morality of it all wasn''t lost on him as he dominated the minds of others that had nothing to do with him, but he justified it to himself based on what the effects of Subjugation were! He wasn''t turning existences into mindless drones when they were Subjugated, all that happened was them bing utterly loyal to him without even being capable of disobeying his orders- but they still kept their conscience and sense of self. A mere justification, and who knew whether it held any true basis! If others looked at Noah''s actions, they could just say he was a foreign influence that invaded other people''snds and took them for himself. Even though his actions granted those in thesends immense strength as no wars or conflict would break out...it was still something that weighed heavily on Noah. But he moved with conviction nheless as while letting Love, Annalise, and Rose settle into the new Cosmos, he was already in the boundaries between Realities as he sought to enter a Cosmos of another Reality to further expand his power! The enemies were Primordials. He had to do whatever he could to reach their level of power- no matter what! BZZZT! Essence flew around wildly in the boundary between Realities as Noah obtained enough influence to descend into another Reality, this one actually taking him a few days longer than the first as his soul influenced a Hegemony until he was able to fully descend after over a week. Noah''s soul formed his body within this Cosmos as his eyes opened onto a brand new set of Universes, his will beginning to spread out as he found this Cosmos to be a bit stronger than the one before, with many more Hegemonies and Antiquities! But he was unlucky as nobody within hadprehended Ruination or the Primordial Dao, and he didn''t find any unique treasures along these lines either. In just two days, the Universes of this Cosmos were also under him as something unique to mention was the fact that every time he expanded his influence, he received dozens of billions of Marks of Antiquity that helped him turn his normal Universes into Splendiferous ones filled with Dao Gxies! He would passively continue to collect these Marks of Antiquity as the more Cosmos he had under him, the more he could increase his power as he could forge his Universes much faster. But he felt the pains of losing his Idle Gaming System at this moment as the amount of loot he had was drying up! His advancement apart from the Marks of Antiquity felt like a snail''s pace while when he had his System, he was getting a ridiculous amount of loot and could obtain even more every day. It made him strive to rebuild his system even faster as he continued to study the Runic etching left behind in his soul and whatever essence was required to reactivate them. So the first Cosmos he jumped into was uneventful, and so was his second one as he easily spread his influence there. Then...came the third one. The line of Reality Noah saw was thergest so far, and it took him an entire week just to infuse his soul into the shape of his Sword of Shattered Reality entered into the Cosmos of this Reality. Wondrously, it just so happened that this time, an Antiquity picked up the sword containing Noah''s soul as when Noah began to influence this being...he began to get excited! From the memories of this being, there were dozens of Antiquities in this Cosmos as fantastically, the most powerful ones had on their hands the essence of Ruination! This wasn''t all as because theyprehended Ruination, they could traverse outside of their Cosmos and explore their vast Reality, these beings having done just that under the banner of the strongest Antiquity within this Cosmos that was named¡­ "Aegon?" Noah''s soul trembled at such a name as he nearly cursed, the memories of the Usurper who had traversed many more Realities than Noah dredging up in his memories as their subject was a single thing. The Champions that the Usurper came across when he entered powerful Cosmos within some Realities! Ridiculously, the Usurper hade across Cosmic Empires within 2 Realities that had a publicly known Champion in each, and their names were Aegon and Noah! A Cosmic joke yed from the hands of the Primordials as their Champions- whether by destiny or their own doing, shared certain names of simrity. Noah was one of them, and this was proved by his own name and the fact that he nearly became a champion of his Reality. And Aegon...was another name of a Champion that the Usurper came across as now, Noah wasing across this same name under an Antiquity in another Reality. An Antiquity that united those in this Cosmos and was multiple times stronger than all of them, a being that had already traversed outside of this Cosmos as he was Conquering those within the Ruination Sea of this Reality! These were the memories Noah was getting from the Antiquity thattched onto his soul. This would prove to be problematic, and Noah was shown this first hand as the small portion of his soul currently within a made up form of a Sword of Shattered Reality in the hands of the Antiquity trembled. Soon after, spatial waves erupted around the ster space this Antiquity was flying across, a being with crimson hair and gold eyes teleporting in their surroundings as he looked towards the sword in the hands of the Antiquity while his voice rang out confidently! "I thought I felt a powerful soul I''ve nevere across before entering one of My Cosmos¡­" WAA! One of the many problems Noah would face in the future appeared before him, his first meeting with a Champion urring on this day as he would be reminded just how ridiculous beings like this were! Chapter 251 - A Trace Of A Cosmic Treasure! I Noah''s destiny churned as it warned him of danger, but it was toote as the enemy he came across was simply too outrageous! With shining crimson hair and eyes, a fair looking man in his early 20s appeared before Noah as he released an abundant aura of power, his chest showing hundreds of thousands of Universes shining brightly. Noah himself had only managed to forge 68 Universes at this moment after utilizing all the Universal Cores he had stacked up, and he had turned over half of them into Splendiferous Universes from the Marks of Antiquity he had been receiving from his conquered Cosmos. Yet this existence before him boasted an easy number of Universes that neared a million as Noah couldn''t help but shake his head! "Why is a foreign soul descending onto a Cosmos of mine, hmm? And you, how did you get influenced so easily?" His voice was filled with utter confidence as essence erupted from him and wrapped around the Antiquity holding the weapon that carried Noah''s soul, this Antiquity being teleported away as only Noah''s small portion of soul remained behind. Even though it meant his descent into the Cosmos of this Reality was a failure, he still wanted to gather any information he could on other beings chosen as Champions- and the price of a small portion of his soul wasn''t bad to pay for that! The crimson eyes of the Champion known as Aegon before him began to shine dangerously as before he did anything else, Noah spoke out. "Before that, what is your System?" ¡­! His words caused the Champion to pause as his eyes shone with an interesting luster, but the dangerous aura in his body only increased as he spoke out with amusement! "Interesting¡­I would chat and get to know more about a foreign soul like you normally but¡­" THRUM! The dangerous essence around his body fully wrapped around Noah''s small portion of soul as the Champion known as Aegon smiled devilishly. "One of the many things that the System you''re curious about gives me is Hints. I followed them to glory until now as the Hint I am receiving when ites to you¡­is to destroy right away." BOOM! His essence fully wrapped around Noah''s small soul as an explosion akin to a Universe shattering resounded out, the soul bing dispersed and drowned out into nothingness as before Noah lost connection to it, he heard ast set of words from the Champion within this Reality! "Now, the Hint to obtain another Cosmic Treasure¡­" With this, there was silence. "..." Within the Sapphire Universe of the Otion Cosmos that Noah jumped into from his very first Reality. Noah was in another location as he was surrounded by frost, Annalise was situated behind him as she constantly released the essence of her trait and froze the surrounding barren around them into a white crystalline world of ice. His main body had sharp eyes as he reflected on what he just came across and branded any Cosmos with Champions to be too dangerous, and he had to be careful if he ever came across prominent individuals with the names Aegon or Noah! With this new knowledge, he cast [Authority of the Dominator] as he sent portions of his soul onto two Antiquities he had Subjugated in the Otion Cosmos. Soon after, these two beings appeared before him as they morphed into his form, their eyes shining blue as they took on a devilishly handsome appearance. Noah saw that just sending a portion of his soul into the Boundary Between Realities was faster for him to descend, but he had very little power to move initially thereafter as he was changing his methods! Noah, he would send his Subjugated Blessed that he controlled with [Authority of the Dominator] to descend as even though the process would be elongated from one to two or three weeks, he could begin powerfully as soon as he descended onto a Cosmos. THRUM! His main body began to light up as he took out the real Sword of Shattered Reality, this broken Primordial? Relic humming within his hands as he pushed it forward and pierced into the cerulean space before him, tearing it apart and forming an entrance into the Boundary Between Realities that his two clones entered! The torn space then closed as Noah''s eyes were a bit dimmer from using so much power, recuperating while monitoring how long it would take for his two Subjugated Clones to make headway into another Reality after this. They traversed the unique space of the Boundary Between Realities as Noah''s Destiny churned, using it to lead him forward to the best possible line of reality as he didn''t rush into anything for an entire day. His first clone found a significantlyrge line of Reality stretching out endlessly as his destiny was looking favorably towards it, and his second clone¡­ "Oh?" His second clone was floating on one of the biggest lines of Realities he had seen so far, one that would take months or years to descend down in just from how vast this line was! This Reality seemed to be vastly different and uniquepared to the others as Noah saw its boundary was much thicker to prate through, as if it was heavily reinforced and protected to make sure nobody went in or out. And yet¡­his destiny rang out multiple times as it pointed him towards this line of Reality, and Noah didn''t know why until he ced his hand on it and felt its vastness as well as¡­ "Another soul?!" There was another soul actually traversing in the vast river of this immense Reality! It wasn''t like Noah''s soul as it didn''t seem capable of escaping outside of the scope of this reality, but the soul seemed to be going against the flow of Reality as it was utilizing a certain Dao to seemingly go back to a prior point of this Reality. The soul was protected by a terribly thick boundary simr to the Reality, even though it didn''t seem all that strong as it only amounted to barely one-thousandth of Noah''s own soul power! His mind churned as he coted all the information he had from the many Hegemonies and Antiquities he Subjugated,ing across one possible solution as he looked at the soul traversing against the flow of its reality. ''An existence with the Dao of Reincarnation or Chronos, a being going back in time from one time point to another!'' His eyes shed gloriously as he thought of such a thing, his eyes locked onto the small soul as he very quickly made his decision and fully sank his clone into this vast river of Reality. He did so as even though it would normally take him months or years to break past the boundary of this incrediblyrge line of Reality, if he made a connection with one of its inhabitants early and used them to help for his descent, the process would at most take weeks or a few months! He didn''t have to send small weak wisps of his soul to try and influence someone as just bying in contact with a being that could traverse the river of time of their Reality would be more than enough. WAA! His clone barreled forward majestically as he watched the small soul, seeing it protected by a vibrant white and purple essence along with the thick boundary simr to that surrounding the Reality as it rebuffed Noah''s essence when he tried to see if he could dominate this being right away. It was the unique protective boundary surrounding the whole Reality and the essence of top tier Cosmic Daos that Noah had only heard of so far but notprehended, so he modified his ns in the next second as a momentter, he made a move. ¡ª- A soul was going against the ravages of time as their eyes were filled with determination, intent on obtaining something against all odds! It wasn''t the first time this soul was doing so, but the process was always arduous and time consuming. It was always uneventful, or it should have been! "What''s this?" A booming voice thundered into the consciousness of the soul as it turned to the side to see the titanous form of a existence- an existence whose face could barely be seen as his eyes shone like bright bluenterns. The soul was shocked as it never came across anything else before, looking closely as the being appearing before it as its consciousness shook when it was the manifestation of dozens of Universes on the chest of this appearing Existence. "Antiquity¡­" The soul voiced out with awe as it saw the thing it had been seeking this whole time- the pathway past the single Universe of a Hegemony to the Universal Fment of Antiquities! "Who are you, little guy?" The booming voice of the Antiquity rang out as the soul was dazed from the sight of multiple Universes, replying absentmindedly a momentter. "Chronos¡­" ¡­! Chapter 252 - A Trace Of A Cosmic Treasure! II Chronos! This was the name of the Soul before him as Noah''s eyes shed with gorgeous blue light, his voice continued to echo out. "Why are you going against the tides of time of this Reality? I don''t normally see any others in this space, especially not beings that can traverse through the river of time." ¡­! His words seemed to have taken Chronos out of his stupor as his eyes turned careful, but one could still see the light of envy and greed when he looked towards Noah''s chest that shone with the light of dozens of Universes. ''So¡­he wants power?'' Noah saw the eyes of this being as he smiled devilishly, waiting patiently as Chronos replied soon after. "The future is not one I desired, so I am simply going back to change it." ¡­! Bold words rang out as Chronos continued slowly soon after. "You? What are your aims here?" The soul of the Hegemony before Noah''s eyes turned careful as Noahughed boisterously, his voice shaking the surrounding space as he came closer to Chronos and looked at this being carefully before he replied. "I am a wanderer. I explore the Cosmos of a myriad of Realities as I''ve been intent on exploring this one without sess so far. But my destiny churned as it pointed me towards you¡­" RUMBLE! Destiny! Noah could feel it ringing, and the Chronos before him could actually feel it ringing too as the hearts of both beings thumped silently! Noah rose up as he nced at the expectant soul of Chronos, his voice continuing toe out grandly. "I am known as the Great Usurper, and I am curious to know why Destiny has led me towards you." ¡­! --- The Great Usurper! The name alone caused Chronos'' mind to move faster as his soul sank into itself and looked at his destiny. He had been trying to change his destiny over and over again in the past years, reincarnating and moving back through time constantly as the results were always the same! ''You cannot beat the prized chosen of a Cosmos...especially one with a powerful Treasure!'' Chronos thought such a thing depreciatingly as his awareness locked onto the vast figure of The Great Usurper. His destiny told him he had more chances for what he wanted to do to seed if he leaned towards this being! Of course, he was no fool and knew that the so called Usurper was most likely a terrifying figure that had their own aims...and he would have to watch what would happen carefully! "Ie from the Primordial Cosmos," Chronos was the one to start as his purple-colored eyes shone with coldness and regality. "A brilliant Cosmos I have tried many times to expand my influence across and achieve Antiquity to no avail as a single being with a powerful Treasure always stands in my way!" "Oh?" The blue eyes of the Antiquity before Chronos raised up in interest as he motioned for Chronos to continue. "I have reincarnated time and time again searching for antiquity, and now my destiny tells me that an opportunity presents itself in you. An existence I know nothing about...but one that could possibly help me stand against the Oathkeeper and his Cosmic Treasure" RUMBLE! The tides of destiny turned and roiled as the eyes of the Great Usurper shone with an ever increasing brilliance. It was triggered by the words Cosmic Treasure! --- When Noah heard the words of a cosmic treasure, he felt his destiny rise and fall of chaotically as he thought this might be the reason why he was drawn into this reality. A cosmic treasure! More often than not, these were stupendous treasures that held within them the essence of a supreme Cosmic Dao. He had to obtain more information, but from the words of this Chronos, he knew it was most likely because of a Dao of Ruination or the Primordial Dao. Even though something the Sword of Shattered Reality was a Primordial Relic that stood above rank of Cosmic Treasure, It was currently only capable of being utilized by 5% as this mere small percentage allowed Noah to traverse across Realities! ''Good. I can work with this!'' His cerulean eyes locked in on Chronos as he spoke out slowly. "You want to reach Antiquity, yes? What if I told you I could guarantee that for you? You have something you want and naturally, so do I!" "What is it that you want?" The question stemmed from Chronos as if he expected it, Noah smiling brilliantly as he replied. "I spend millions of years wandering across boundaries of Reality like this as it takes a long time to actually descend onto a Cosmos. I can help you achieve the simple task of Antiquity if you help me in my descent!" Yes! This Reality was unique as it was extremelyrge unlike any of the ones Noah had seen, its boundary being way too strong as Noah expected months to turn into years if he tried to squeeze into it by himself. But with the help of a native of a Cosmos within this Reality...this process could be dwindled down to months and weeks, or even shorter if he sacrificed even more things. Noah would love to ovee all these arduous tasks and simply dominate the soul before him, but like this Reality- this native was surrounded by thick and seemingly imprable barriers while he was swimming across the Boundary of Reality as Noah could not do this yet. Maybe after he descended onto the Cosmos...but not in this unique environment! "Help in descending into the Primordial Cosmos¡­" The soul of Chronos thought about such a thing deeply as he looked towards Noah''s direction. Seeing the visible strings of Destiny, Noah already knew everything was set in stone as he put out thest set of words toplete it. "My purpose is just to explore newnds and the uniqueness within them. If you worry about my aim, we can simply make a soul binding agreement on certain conditions." ¡­! The cerulean light released from Noah''s eyes was intense as his gaze seemed impassive, Chronos taking everything in as he spoke his own conditions. The bait was set, and the fish went on to take a bite! Chapter 253 - Whatever It Takes! I In the Boundary Between Realities, two beings were discussing with calm voices as each of them tried to etch their own destiny. "Apart from Antiquity...you need to help me take care of him- of Oathkeeper! I''ve been beaten time and time again by his Cosmic Treasure that utilizes the abstruse Primordial Essence...I hope you can handle this and we can forge an agreement of never being able to harm each other!" Chronos spoke out about the challenges he faced as for Noah, it all seemed to just perfectly bring him exactly what he wanted. His clone released a cluster of light that was an extremely small and barely conscious cluster of his soul, putting it in front of Chronos as he spoke out slowly. "My descent can be made faster with the involvement of the inhabitants of the Universes within your Primordial Cosmos. However you wish to do it is fine, but as long as you can collect the allegiances of existences with my soul taking them in...my descent will ur." "The quicker you move, the faster you can have this Oathkeeper put aside, and the faster you can reach Antiquity!" Chronos listened to the enticing words of the Antiquity before him as he took the pulsing cluster of a soul slowly within his hands, his eyes already shining sharply as he nodded and spoke out. "I already have an idea of what to do. I''ve lived through many time lines as I''ve found unique things in each of them, and in one I saw the method of gathering the strength of the souls of others to be most efficient with a uniquely designed Universal Construct." "I will build these Constructs and tie your consciousness to them for your descent...and if I figure out everything else, I will let you know!" A n was already unfolding within Chronos''s mind as he was very proactive to make sure he got what he wanted. Noah nodded with a smile as he looked around the vast Boundary Between Realities and spoke out. "You mustn''t be stuck in the river of your Reality for too long. Return and let me know how it all goes!" WAA! As agreements were made and two souls shook hands in a unique environment, Chronos continued to flow back in the river of time as Noah watched this soul move back a bit further before it disappeared from his eyes along with the incredibly small portion of his soul. "As expected, it''s much easier for the natives¡­" He could barely send thoughts to the small cluster of his soul, and it had to be this way for it to pass through the incredible Boundary of this Reality! If he did it normally, this small portion of soul wouldn''t really be able to move as it would dry out of its essence in time- but now a Native took him as this native would move to gather the influence of existences on his behalf! "Now¡­" Noah''s eyes shed brightly as he was about to spread out his consciousness and study this unique Reality he was staring out of the boundaries of, but his eyes shifted in the next second as he saw an unexpected scene. THRUM! Essence coagted before his eyes once more as uniquely, the small illusory form of Chronos''s soul formed once again as it began to talk. "Usurper...I have been sessful in the method I mentioned before and built multiple Universal Constructs across the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos. This is the only way I can move without drawing attention from Oathkeeper and being forced to reincarnate yet again...let me know if you can sense them when they be active!" Chronos spoke as if nothing was wrong as Noah looked at this soul with interest, his booming voice ringing out. "Exactly how much time has passed since you left me to finish your Reincarnation?" "Hm? Over 384 years. Does time move differently here? No matter, let me know if you feel anything soon!" WAA! Noah''s eyes shone brightly as he affirmed the difference in the speed of time in the Boundary Between Realities and within Realities themselves! Many years could have passed within a Reality while a mere few seconds passed in this unique space! Noah was curious about the applications of this, but he came to a stop in the next second when he finally felt a strong reaction from the Cluster of his soul he sent with Chronos. He felt it anchored to 9 unique Constructs in 9 different Universes, these Constructs drawing in a unique energy of soul strength that sunk into Noah''s bound soul clusters and strengthened them ever so slightly! If this strengthening continued, he would be able to descend into this Primordial Cosmos in no time! "I sense 9 Tools of Descent providing me strength...this method of yours is unique, Chronos!" Noah voiced out strongly as the soul of Chronos nodded andughed with an excited gaze. "Good! We shall continue and see how things go. I put myself in a half state of death toe here, and I have to return now before this bes permanent!" With such words Chronos disappeared once more as he left behind the huge form of Noah staring at him with cerulean beams of light. --- The purple eyes of Chronos opened dangerously a secondter as beanie him, a Hegemony wiped his brows as this being was the one to help induce the state of death that allowed Chronos to use his essence of Reincarnation to appear before the Usurper once more. "It was sessful?" The Hegemony of ughter asked Chronos carefully as this being nodded. "Yes. Expand the reach of these Universal Constructs and draw in more existences- focus on Universes like the Animus Universe, Chthonian Universe, Microbial Universe...all of those filled with battles and war." ¡­! Chronos spoke with eyes shining with a crazed light as the Hegemony of ughter nodded. "The more of them that fall within these Constructs, the soul strength that will be sucked up will be even stronger than any influence one could obtain. When these Constructs obtain enough power...we can anchor them to the very Universes themselves as this guarantee the descent of this Great Usurper in no time¡­" The light in Chronos''s eyes was maddening as he continued. "This will be the process of Universal Amalgamation...with it, it will also be ourst effort as the Usurper will arrive in mere weeks if not days with this in ce!" A grand n mostly designed by Chronos bloomed, one that involved silently collecting the soul strength of inhabitants of souls through 9 Universal Constructs or Tools of Descent spread out across 9 Universes! Back in the Boundary Between Realities where time moved differently, Noah''s Origin shone with increased brightness as he felt the connection with these 9 Tools of Descent gradually increasing, seeing 9 thin lines begin to form from him to the vast location where the Primordial Cosmos was past the thick Boundary of this Reality. It was a process that would take time, but Noah was patient as he smiled calmly while watching the process, sensing being ever closer to entering a Cosmos of this unique Reality as within it, he saw a Primordial Treasure that could grant him theprehension in the Primordial Dao as such a thing...it would effectively open up the limit of him being capable to explore only a single Cosmos in a Reality! With it, he could traverse the Ruination Sea within a Reality as he went on to conquer the myriad of Cosmos within them. To obtain this....he would do whatever it takes! Chapter 254 - Whatever It Takes! II The tides of time continued to ebb forward ever so slightly. In a Primordial Cosmos within another Reality, Chronos enacted Universal Constructs capable of drawing in the essence of the Universes and souls of the natives of these nine Universes, strengthening the budding soul of an Antiquity to grow. The more this soul grew, the more influence the Antiquity could release out as with sufficient time, even powerful abilities could be cast to affect these Universes these Constructs were in! There were no challenges to hinder them as things went smoothly, Noah monitoring as his small soul grew stronger and stronger in the Boundary Between Realities as his Origin buzzed with excitement. For him to get his hands on a Cosmic Treasure! The 9 lines of connection leading to 9 different Universes where the Universal Constructsy were getting ever stronger, where Noah felt like soon, he would be able to cast and other abilities unto these Universes that would allow his descent to happen even faster! And soon enough, this chance actually came as events progressed enough for Chronos to do something drastic in the Primordial Cosmos. --- In the Primordial Cosmos, a chase was currently taking ce across the boundaries of many Universes as one of the Hegemonies that Chronos was working with after recruiting them with themon aim of achieving Antiquity- this Hegemony was leading away multiple other Hegemonies from the 9 Universes where Chronos established the Universal Constructs! Events had progressed to the point where other powerful factions were questioning Chronos and those he had recruited, and they had even boiled over to the start of a war. The Hegemony running away was an enormous cluster of dark Cosmic Essence as within his hands, the figure of a Tyrant Dragon could be seen locked within as this scene required its own story to exin. But this chase involved this existence in the form of a Tyrannical Dragon at the root of the cause as the Hegemony locking him in ce- the being known as Dark Shadow...he found out that this terrifying being that should in no way have known about the 9 Universal Constructs seemed to have too much knowledge about it! So he moved with haste as he sent a message to Chronos and all the other Hegemonies he worked with. "You all need to start the Process of Amalgamation now, information has leaked!" WAA! Chronos was among the first to hear this message, his location currently being in a vibrantly gold Realm as he was sipping a drink with his biggest enemy standing right before him. The figure of a golden haired man that screamed power and virtue was before him as even though he was Chronos''s biggest enemy, this being had yet to know this as Chronos moved in the dark to aplish his ns. ''And now, we enter an unstoppable phase, Oathkeeeper¡­'' Chronos had such a thought as he gave amand and sent a message to all his people. "Carry of the Universal Amalgamation. Begin the process to fuse the seeds of Antiquity within the 9 Universal into one as within a short period of time...we will have the descent of the Great Usurper!" ¡­! His order was released as it was carried out. From 9 Constructs that vibrated gloriously with the essence of the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos- Noah''s portions of soul were contained within as they felt a process that granted him huge chunks of soul power begin! --- BZZZT! In the Boundary Between Realities, Noah saw the 9 lines he was connected to suddenly shine with powerful light and grow ever bigger, and influx of essence flowing into and strengthening his soul as many things suddenly became avable for him to do at this juncture. ", , !" ¡­! He felt his portions of souls having grown strong enough from a sudden reaction as whatever unique Constructs were established by Chronos, they had granted him enough power to leak out his own influence as at this moment, his descent was entirely set in stone. All he had to do was way a week or two for the effects of the three skills he cast to affect the Universes his soul portions were in...and it would grant him more than enough power to seed! "You''ve outdone yourself, Chronos!" Noah gave props to this creature as he felt his influence spread, his eyes set on the prize that was a Cosmic Treasure waiting for him. --- WAA! Chaos and mayhem spread out madly within the 9 Universes affected by Chronos and currently had the aura of an Antiquity permeating through them. "Chronos!" The boisterous yell of the being known as Oathkeeeper reverberated out as the cat was out of the bag, Chronos currently standing before Dark Shadow and aiding him in the chase as his body leaked the vibrant essence of Chronos- a huge purple clock permeating behind him grandly. After this, all pretenses were down as a war would break out from the faction he raised and the faction this enemy of his had- but he would be the winner at the very end! "What is it that you''re nning, Chronos? What have you done with the 9 Universes?!" His enemy bellowed out towards him, but it was of no consequence. He left behind some words before he and Dark Shadow disappeared, going back into the 9 Universes that they led Hegemonies out of- Universes that now were permeating with the Aura of the Great Usurper as they limited who could traverse around them! Now, all Chronos had to do was wait. Antiquity...was right before his eyes! But as always...nothing ever went so smoothly. "Hmm?" At a certain point in time, Noah felt changes in the rate his soul grew from the connections to the Universal Constructs, where eventually, some of these connections would even go to be destroyed! It was a problem when he was so close to descending as if this urred, he would lose his chance to fully descend into this wondrous Cosmos of this locked up Reality. But it didn''t take long before the soul of a certain being tried to appear before him again. "Usurper¡­" THRUM! This time, there was a sense of weakness within its appearance as Noah saw the essence of Reincarnation this being was using fluctuating unstably. "What a dangerous thing to do, Chronos." His rumbling voice came out calmly as he spoke of the near death state this being had to put himself in constantly to appear here at times like these- where a single slip meant his death and the disruption of their ns! "Dangerous...but required. We are facing heavy interference from the Primordial Cosmos this time around, even though the impable aura of the oh so Great Usurper has already begun to permeate across 9 Universes." For Noah, only a few minutes might have passed, but time had moved faster in the Primordial Cosmos as after Noah''s aura leaked out from them beginning their process of Universal Amalgamation that would fuse the portions of Noah''s souls from the 9 Constructs into one was actually being disrupted by an unknown enemy! "The Tools of Descent are acting properly, with my descent only being a few weeks away. Though I did notice a reduction in the rate of umtion...what''s happened?" Chronos looked into the cerulean blue eyes of the Antiquity before him as he replied calmly. "An Apex Paragon has arisen from nowhere, his existence hitting us specifically by the fact that we cannot act against him due to the restriction we ourselves imposed for the proper establishment of Universal Amalgamation." "This Paragon has been breaking apart the influence our Hegemonies have established in a matter of days as he conquers the Universes, to the point that even your released Aura cannot stop him!" ¡­! "If he continues without being stopped...the rate of umtion will continue to reduce as nothing will be descending for months, the Universal Constructs breaking apart in a matter of time after that¡­" ''Hmmm?'' Noah''s eyes shone sharply as he heard this. A suddenly powerful existence rising from nowhere as even someone powerful like Chronos and his forces were struggling against him? A Paragon crossing levels and even beating the influence of Hegemonies that had formed a Universe while he was only in the Gctic Fment Realm? Such a thought instantly led him towards the idea of a Champion as his heart turned utterly cold in annoyance! Had he possibly run across one here in this Cosmos as well?! Chapter 255 - Whatever It Takes! III Paragons were merely existences that hadn''t even formed their Universe to be Hegemonies, and yet there was a ridiculously powerful Paragon moving around in the Primordial Cosmos even causing Hegemonies to take losses! Such a thing instantly made Noah think of the possibility of an overpowered existence that was rising to be a Champion, but he couldn''t be sure until he asked. "An unbeatable Paragon...what name do they go by?" Noah''s mind churned as he nced at his destiny while asking such a question. "Why does that matter?" Chronos''s eyes seemed to think it was a waste of time as he replied curtly. "Names are naturally very important. Across the many Cosmos and Dimensions...I''ve met a few beings with certain names that even I have grown to be wary of." RUMBLE! Noah couldn''t help but think of himself and hid ridiculous past System, and then the existences he and the past Usurper hade across that were ridiculously overpowered beings moving freely within their Reality! "He loves the moniker of ''Tyrannical'', going by such names like Tyrannical Dragon Emperor and Tyrannical Lich Emperor in the respective Universes he is conquering. He is also a Paragon that has somehow birthed his own set of Lesser Daos before even reaching the rank of Hegemony, and he hasprehended the Cosmis Dao of Chronos." Chronos replied to Noah thoughtfully at such a juncture as in return, his cerulean eyes released a sh of light as he straightforwardly asked. "This Paragon...you''ve never heard of him referred to as Aegon? Or Noah? Or Ezekiel?" "No¡­" With a thoughtful expression, Chronos replied to Noah as even though it was the answer he wanted, he still had to be careful. Chronos had appeared here today to seek for more of his help, so after a discussion on what could be done to stand against this powerful Paragon that was threatening Noah''s descent- Chronos was told to ce 9 Paragons into the Universal Constructs that held Noah''s budding souls! "...Bring 9 Paragons into the cores of the Universal Constructs. Preferably those that have ingested the essence of a Hegemony. It will be an extremely costly price for me to mobilize my authority early...but I will do it regardless. I will give you 9 Existences that cannot be taken down by anything other than a Hegemony. I will give you Subjugations of the Usurper that will hold a semnce of my abilities." Yes! Noah nned to let his essence leak into other beings as even though they wouldn''t be like his normal Subjugations, they should be able to withstand a mere Paragon with their boost in power! With the agreement and leave of Chronos, Noah connected to his small souls stretched across the 9 Constructs as the moment he sensed 9 beings prepared for him, his essence sunk into them to turn them into Subjugations as he then waited for the results. And the results...were not promising thereafter as things continued to barrel to another direction! Time moved faster within the Primordial Cosmospared to the Boundary Between Realities, so Noah experienced theing events very fast. First, the influence of the 9 Universal Constructs began to reduce as his Subjugations that were sent out...he found his connections with them destroyed as it meant their deaths in session! It meant an existence or multiple of them were truly moving in haste to stand against Chronos and try to stop his descent. His destiny churned as he felt the Cosmic Treasure he would be getting slip further and further away.his eyes releasing rays of undeniable might as he took a drastic action! "Merely a Cosmos that hasn''t even produced an Antiquity, and you think you can deny one?" WAA! His voice was deep and ancient as his cerulean blue eyes shone dangerously, closing these brilliant eyes at this moment as he...took a deep breath and gave the permission for a Splendiferous Universe to begin to burn within his Origin. If an Antiquity could not obtain enough power, they could sacrifice the Universes within their Origins to gain huge bursts in power! Noah was doing this now as he sent the burning and glorious essence of a Splendiferous Universe into the 9 lines of connections to strengthen his souls and the aura he released out into them multiple times over! His destiny roiled in waves as he saw with this action, his descent into this Cosmos was a mere day away now. Yet as if in a reaction to his actions, he saw two of the 9 connections copse soon after, meaning whoever stood against Chronos was already strong enough to directly destroy the Universal Constructs even while Noah''s and inherent powerful skills were active to heavily debuff all enemies! Being so close, Noah didn''t want to give up the chance to descend onto this Cosmos as even though he was wary of the Paragon Chronos mentioned as a possible Champion- for as long as this being remained at this level, it would be okay. So he breathed in deeply once again as...yet another Universe began to burn within his Origin, elerating his descent into this Cosmos for a high price! He would truly do whatever it took to descend down! His eyes watched on coldly as with second passing, he felt another connection he had to this Cosmos be destroyed as another Universal Construct fell. Every Time a Construct fell, he burned another Universe as his descent edged ever closer! His destiny was raging madly as it told him to prepare, and Noah continued to burn more and more Universes as he felt the connections he had continue to be destroyed. When a mere single one was left and it seemed everything was about to close for him, a dozen Universes freely burned as he took back all the portions of scattered souls and the vast essence brought about by the burning Universes and focused it onto a single connection. This single Connection brightened up gloriously as it became tout and strong, Noah seeing it expanding across the tough barrier of this Reality as finally¡­his other soul residing within this body couldtch onto this line and ride it into the Primordial Cosmos! "Good!" With a vibrant burst of light, Noah disappeared into the connection toplete his descent onto this mysterious new Reality. Chapter 256 - The Primordial Cosmos! I Within a Universe known as the Abyssal Universe contained in the Primordial Cosmos. At the center of this Universe, two Factions were reaching out towards a Universal Construct that was releasing the vibrant aura of an Antiquity! One sided with Chronos as they were helping with the descent of a foreign Entity, and the other faction was trying to prevent this as they tried to destroy the Universal construct that was shaped like an enormous cocoon before whatever was within it erupted out! But as destiny would have it, the gloriously crimson cocoon began to crack and splinter. BOOM...CRACK! The cocoon was the size of a Gxy, its outer shells breaking apart as from it, a pristine hand that looked like it had seen the vicissitudes of life shot out The hand glimmered with a myriad of colors as after it shot out, it was followed by the eruption of a head. A head full of dark hair, and eyes that were shining a gorgeous cerulean blue luster that looked like 2 shining blue stars- these eyes releasing beams of light that nearly blinded everyone watching. These shocking eyes scanned everything in the immediate surroundings as they shed with immense light, this being continuing to step out of the cocoon as the Hegemonies that were trying to stop him could only watch in horror, while others watched in fervor! All hegemonies...apart from a single defender of this Cosmos that was looking at everything with calmness. This Hegemony had a glimmering Blue Slime beside him, his demeanor much different than everyone else even while a foreign Antiquity descended onto their Cosmos! --- Noah sessfully stepped into this wondrous new Reality as he felt his Origin churning, his destiny actually shooting up in waves at this moment as it began to expand rapidly! He was shocked at this as even though he knew this new Reality held secrets, he didn''t expect to have his Destiny and Fortune double just by stepping into it. This told him that it wasn''t just a Cosmic treasure that drew him here, and there had to be something else! His vibrant eyes scanned his surroundings as he saw the parties of Hegemonies, not seeing Chronos anyone nearby as he spoke out while checking to see just how much authority he had to move at this moment. "You all...gave me a lot of trouble." RUUUMBLE! His voice thundered out like a strike of thunder as it caused the weaker Hegemonies to tremble, but Noah saw some who didn''t even hold an ounce of fear while ncing at his direction! One was the figure of a Blue Slime that actually had an aura akin to that of an Antiquity, but at the same time, it wasn''t. ''That should be...a False Antiquity?''He dug in the memories of the Usurper and the many things he had seen as this name came up, linking this Blue Slime to the one who had been destroying the Universal Constructs he was connected to! But even when looking at this existence, he saw the curious scene of it floating beside another existence with a devilishly handsome appearance as if it was taking the orders of this being. "Hmm?" Noah felt the surge of his destiny increase when he focused on this existence, a questioning thought rising within him as he wondered what the link to it all was. But, he had to pull his eyes away as they locked on to another being that had golden wings behind his back and was holding onto a vibrant white sword on one hand, and an even more vibrant object on another. ''The Cosmic Treasure!'' Noah''s eyes released a sh of glorious light as apart from everything else, he reached out towards this object first. "Great Usurper! The condition was for us to be shown the path towards Antiquity...and the guarantee of our lives. You cannot harm or kill any of us!" A voice that Noah assumed to be one of those that had been working with Chronos spoke out as it caused him to nearlyugh, his voice echoing out majestically as he continued to reach out towards the Cosmic Treasure. "Death...huh?? To live or die, to be or not to be...a famous poet once said these words. But...when ites to you all, death is much too simple, and it is not the only path!" WAA! His essence churned out even more as he spoke, the Primordial Cosmic Treasure being right before his eyes as he moved to get it as quick as possible! "Something that you all don''t know is that aside from life and death, aside from being or not being...there is also an in-between. There is also...Subjugation." RUMBLE! As his voice echoed out, his mental energy waves began to spread out wildly, using the abilities of the Telekic Emperor to pull the existence protected by the aura of a Cosmic Treasure towards him! As he did so, he also began to release his mental essence to subjugate the beings around him, his waves of power roiling out and nearly putting the many Hegemonies already half asleep when suddenly, the figures of the Blue Slime and the devilishly handsome existence near it released their own waves of power as contained within them...was an essence Noah hade across in the Apocalypse of Ruination Dimension. It was the essence of Ruination that raged around as it nearly dispelled his mental energy waves! ''Is this...the being Chronos was mentioning? The one that should have been an Apex Paragon disrupting the ns for descent?!'' Noah thought such a thing as he wondered if this was the being he had been thinking was a possible Champion that would bring him trouble! After all, who could freely use Ruination to fearlessly dispel the essence of an Antiquity a Realm above them?! Noah''s essence was dispelled as the figure of the being holding the Cosmic Treasure came to a stop, his body beginning to be wrapped in a cocoon or Primordial Essence! "You." His cerulean blue eyes locked onto the being responsible, this existence actually staring towards him calmly as he patted the Blue Slime next to him. Noah''s destiny churned at this moment as his danger sense began to re, shifting his attention from the unique being and slime as his eyes constricted when he looked at the figure holding the Cosmic Treasure wrapped in a cocoon of Primordial Essence. He brought himself to focus back on this after the warning rms as he utilized more than a third of the mana within his current body to call out lightly. "Ruler''s Emanation." WAA! His essence descended to cover everything once more as he made hisst effort to first obtain the Cosmic Treasure, his mind already beginning to call out his other abilities! "Subju-...!" But he was cut off. He was cut off as every single activation of abilities came to halt, Noah feeling his Origin churning violently as weirdly enough...his Destiny actually continued to shoot up even higher at this moment! The source of all this was far above him and all the Hegemonies around him, his eyes being forced to turn up far above them as there...one could see space being torn as the crimson essence of Ruination and the white essence of the Primordial Daos leaked out madly. ''It can''t be¡­'' Noah watched the opening of this torn space in a stupor as it reminded him of a scene not too long ago. A scene that had resulted in his original body to be destroyed and his System to be taken from him! Yet in the midst of all these shocking developments, his Destiny still continued to expand as told him of a fortuitous event! Chapter 257 - The Primordial Cosmos! II Noah was currently in a very unique predicament. Things didn''t seem to be going his way as even after putting in so much effort and sacrificing multiple of his Universes to descend unto this Cosmos, the Cosmic Treasure that was right before his hands was still unreachable to him! Just as he wanted to grab, an even more horrendous disruption appeared as the entrance of the space tearing apart akin to a door was something he had seen when the Primordial that had stripped Jim of many things appeared. Yet, even in the midst of all this, his destiny was still rising up and expanding as simr to when he sensed his death- he currently felt a raging fortuitous event on the horizon even with all the conflicting scenes ying out! ''If it is not the Cosmic Treasure that drew me here, then it is¡­'' His thoughts moved fast as his eyes quickly scanned the beings around him,ing to stop at a particr existence with a blue Slime before he returned to watch the torn space above them. There, the essence of Ruination and the Primordial Daos leaked out as light footsteps could be heard, the figure of a woman dressed in pristine white with a veil over her head appearing! Long slender legs covered by a shimmering white dress, a shroud and veil hiding everything about her figure...it was a shocking existence the size of a human that stepped out of the crack! ''Truly a Primordial...ridiculous! But if a Primordial appears here, it means there is a Champion!'' WAA! Many things crossed Noah''s mind as he chose to trust his raging destiny and see how things would unfold, but he still put on an act! "Impossible!" His voice reverberated out as he showed a face of incredulity, the veiled Primordial stepping out of the crack keeping her gaze in his direction as she voiced out. "You...should not be here." The Primordial spoke in a grandiose and arrogant manner as Noah stared more closely at everything about her, finding his eyes drawn to the right side of her dress. Inscribed there beautifully was a glimmering 12 sided star, this star being something that Noah had also seen on the suit of the other Primordial! ''This stands for their organization or faction? These two are from the same one?'' Many thoughts and possibilities crossed his mind as he received no answers. "I shouldn''t be here...and nor should you!" His voice rang out angrily as his body began to ze with power. But really, his true actions involved his main body back in the Sapphire Universe of the Otion Cosmos in another Reality putting his essence into the Sword of Shattered Reality- this essence beginning to cover Noah as he prepared to make an escape back into the folds of the Boundary of Reality when this Primordial sought to kill him! To his words, the Primordial didn''t reply. Her gloved hand merely came out as she looked down on him, tapping the air a total of three times! DING! DING! DING! Each tap was more resounding than thest as Noah saw countless crimson and golden lines bloom thereafter- these lines covering everything as they instantly arrived to bind him and try to weaken his soul! He couldn''t even make a move to defend himself against the power of Primordial, so he remained still as he showed a Defiant face while gazing upwards. At the same time, the unique essence of the Sword of Shattered Reality pulled out a portion of Noah''s soul within the Primordial Cosmos and silently had it sink back to the Boundaries of this Reality! The veiled Primordial looked over everything with elegance as she voiced out something that seemed like a call for judgment. "You do not belong in this Dimension. For your vition, you shall be sent to the Primordial Battlefields for 10 Million Years." Contain him in a battlefield for millions of years? Noah nearlyughed at this as he replied out boisterously! "I think not." ¡­! After gazing upon the beings of this Cosmos, he raised his head again as from his deeply blue eyes, one could see them beginning to emanate shocking cracks that very quickly spread out to cover his face! "Among the many things I will do...falling under the control of you hypocrites is not one of them." The Origin of this clone was shining brightly as the remaining Universes within them began to burn, his body bing filled with cracks as he felt it was much better to give a show of death himself than wait for the Primordial to truly imprison him or something worse. He also knew they had ridiculous analytical abilities as they could even view Soul Records of beings, so he had to truly ''die'' in a sense as he actively chose to implode the Origin of this Clone! He instead only silently gazed up towards this existence as he focused on the twelve-pointed star on her dress, his words ringing out calmly. His body began to fill with cracks as he gazed coldly at the Primordial above, remembering how it was these beings that fractures apart Reality and caused the countless branching of Realities and birth of Primordial Beasts. He thought of them choosing to raise Champions like him who they could discard as failures whenever they wished as his anger boiled! His blue eyes shone as he spoke the words he didn''t get a chance to speak to other Primordials. "Hypocrites are all that you are...sitting upon your high pedestals and gazing upon everything currently happening as if you are above it all, even though you are the ones responsible." RUMBLE! "I know the secret you all hide so well...I know what you all did!" His words seemed to finally poke into veiled Primordial as she stopped trying to imprison him, her body emanating wild power as the crimson lines around Noah instantly sunk into his and destroyed everything! Instantly...as Noah''s Realm was far too low to even defend. He didn''t know if this being was in the Cosmic Realm or even far above that, but the power she released was not something one could even try to deny! "What can a failed creature like you know? You have outlived your purpose as of this moment...and can cease to exist." RUMBLE! Her voice echoed out as Noah''s body and most of his soul were destroyed. Most of his soul...as a portion had sessfully managed to sink into the boundary of this Reality as at this moment, he stayed near the location of the Primordial Cosmos to watch this Primordial while remaining hidden! In the Sapphire Universe of the Otion Cosmos, his main body released a sigh as he was in a world of Ice that Annalise was practicing in. "A Subjugated Antiquity destroyed...it is truly hard to go against Primordials alone." His blue eyes shed coldly as he viewed the sight of the small portion of his soul hiding in the Boundary of this Reality, watching the scenes within unfold before his eyes. "Now...what exactly can I find within this Cosmos even after facing such a loss? Why is Destiny still pulling me into this Cosmos so much¡­" His destiny was still raging even after being decimated by the Primordial, so he continued to watch on carefully! As he did so, the figure of Annalise began to materialize behind him from particles of ice as she came beside him curiously. But his eyes remained on the scene in another Reality where he saw the Primordial gaze towards one of the beings even he found unique. It was the nonchnt existence that had a Blue Slime beside him! ''So he was a champion?'' Noah watched on closely as the voice of the Primordial was picked up with his soul. "You were the one that steered the folds of reality into this direction...for that and helping destroy an existence extending his reach into Dimensions he doesn''t belong in...you shall be rewarded." ¡­! ''Not a champion?!'' Noah was surprised to hear this from the Primordial as he watched in a stupor while this being waved her hand, causing for the appearance of a portion of a Primordial Heart to appear in her hands as it went towards the figure of the man and his Slime! "Across the vast and nigh endless Ruination Sea, there are terrifying creatures known as Primordial Beasts roaming free..." The Primordial began spewing out a simr speech Noah had heard before about Primordial Beasts and how they wanted to destroy Realities. Noah watched on as the speech continued for another minute, this Primordial exining the Origins of the Primordial Heart she was giving out as she finally finished after a few seconds. "Use this Primordial Heart and prepare yourselves in the case a Primordial Beast everes across your Cosmos." With such words, she gave the pristine loot of a Primordial Heart to the unique existence as she disappeared soon after! ''So...it is you¡­'' everything that had happened caused Noah''s focus to shift to this being that the Primordial gifted a Heart to- his surging Destiny finally finding his target at this moment as it wasn''t the Cosmic Treasure or anything else that drew him to this Universe, his fortune apparently lying with this existence. An existence that shouldn''t be a Champion, or maybe was. Noah wanted to confirm as after he waited and the Primordial didn''t pop up again, he returned his soul that was hiding within the Boundary of the Reality back into the Universe his clone was just killed in. He felt like he had half an hour if not less before this portion of his soul dissipated, and he was calm as he sent mental energy waves to the unique existence that was given preferential treatment by Primordials- the existence his Destiny was currently the target of! Chapter 258 - A Different Approach! I As Noah was about to make contact with the unique existence given a Primordial Heart from a genuine Primordial, his second clone that he sent in the Boundary Between Realities also made some headway in the past days! Uniquely, he was able to locate a line of Reality that was nowhere near as unique as the one that led him to the Primordial Cosmos, but it was still granted a level of protection that reminded Noah of thest Cosmos of a Reality he descended down in that held a Champion. His destiny only confirmed this after his soul had gained sufficient strength to descend down fully onto the Cosmos of this new Reality, but he put everything on pause as he gauged whether he should even try to descend when this Cosmos probably held another Champion. He didn''t want to lose another Subjugated Antiquity, so he stopped his clone just shy of passing the barrier of this Reality as he monitored what his destiny was leading him towards in the Primordial Cosmos! He wanted to see what the existence that had actually been able to call a Primordial to save his Cosmos from being Subjugated had that his destiny continued to point him towards! ---- "What are you?" His voice was very direct as his cluster of soul weaved around the Boundary of Reality and sent a message to the unique being with a blue Slime situated atop his head. His words caused the eyes of this being to sh sharply as his aura raged out, trying to find where his soul was located! "You won''t find me anywhere, that woman made sure of that. But she couldn''t prevent me from leaving an untraceable portion of my consciousness here...this consciousness being able to do nothing but observe and speak." He spoke calmly as his main body continued to study his destiny while he did so. He began by probing slowly. "For her to hand you a Primordial Heart...for someone of her caliber to even care enough to do such a thing...it means your Universal Fortune is vaster than any Antiquities, or you''re one of them." "Oh?" His words finally caused a reaction as the existence smiled calmly while speaking out. "One of them?" "Yes, one of them. Beings that those existences pay attention to and asionally interfere in the lives of...weapons that they forge for their own uses- existences they call Champions that they rear as animals for their own purposes." WAA! Noah was straightforward as he spoke, the expression of the being before him changing as he continued- knowing his soul had very little time left here! "Her making a move and even going further to hand you a Treasure only leaves a few possibilities of your identity. Which begs the question...what is your name?" A name. Noah knew the Primordials were ying a Cosmic joke as they either influenced destiny to choose Champions with the same names, or by means he didn''t even know. But he hade across a Champion named Aegon as the past Usurper had met another of this name, and others termed Ezekiel and even Noah! So he wanted to know what the name of this being before existence eyes was. "You ask for my name and state all these ims about beings with vast Universal fortunes being Tools for others...even knowing secrets that nobody else knows. Mind you, you were the being that was just invading this Cosmos moments ago! Why should I be listening to anything you say?" The Hegemony before him replied curtly while raising his eyes. "..." His question caused a period of silence as Noah replied to him a secondter. "I can speak about this with confidence and even share with you knowledge about Primordials and their secret...because I was one of the weapons they were forging. I was a Champion." ¡­! Noah''s voice continued to echo out as he spoke to the unique Hegemony before him, speaking more about his experience to gain the trust of this being as after another exchange of words, he asked whether the names Aegon, Noah, Ezekiel meant anything to him! Noah saw a visible reaction appear after he mentioned these names, now confident of his thoughts as he continued. ''If he truly is one of the Champions and he hasn''t yet fully fallen under their influence, then maybe¡­'' Maybe this was what his Destiny was leading him to! Another Champion that wasn''t fully influenced by Primordials like he was! The task to restore his Idle Gaming System was arduous even now as after days had passed, Noah''s strong soup that had devoured over 100 Quintillion souls- most from the Abyssal ne- he had finally been able to repair the Runic etchings he found in his soul. The Runic etchings that formed into a unique symbol he didn''t yet understand, but he knew it was what the Primordial had destroyed when he lost his System! Now, even though these unique Runic etchings were repaired, Noah still couldn''t activate them in any way as they required an essence that only Primordials could utilize. An essence he did not have ess to as he was searching for this right now topletely repair his System, and a good ce to start was to connect with other Champions that had their own Systems. After he confirmed from the reaction of this being that his name could be one of the three he mentioned, he gave the same speech that the Great Usurper had given him weeks ago. The speech of Primordials and their splitting of the Main Reality to branch off countless ones, of Primordial Beasts that were born to devour the Cosmos of these realities and destroy them, and the Champions raised by Primordials to stop them...Noah spoke about all of these things as he felt his waves of destiny continue to rise ever so slowly! He finished his speech as he spoke about himself and the myriad of other Champions that had to be spread out across different Realities. "Tools. Weapons. Champions. Beings that they try to raise in every Dimensional Reality to make sure that as few Branch Realities as possible are destroyed and rejoin the Main Reality. Existences with such power and might that exceedmon sense. Existences like us." Mere tools to be used for the aims of others! Noah spoke strongly about this as he looked towards the unique Hegemony before him! Chapter 259 - A Different Approach! II The Hegemony before Noah''s eyes turned thoughtful after all this as he then sighed, his voice reaching Noah''s soul in waves as he spoke after some time. "So the Primordials are enemies and the Primordial Beasts are even more so...but why tell all this to me? Just what is it you want, O Great Usurper?" His gaze was serene as he asked, Noah''s soul finally affirming why his destiny called him here as he replied back. "Those under the shadows of Primordials are extremely unique, especially beings like you and me. All of the ones I''ve met are ridiculous existences in the Universal Fment and Cosmic Realms that are under the beck and call of Primordials, these existences being extremely troublesome to evene across!" "But then...here you are." His sea of destiny climbed ever higher as he finally understood why he felt a pull towards this Reality! It wasn''t for the Cosmic treasure or to Subjugate- but to form a connection with a terrifying existence that even if he wasn''t a Champion- he most definitely had the power of one as he had yet to be influenced by Primordials. "You just made your first contact with a Primordial, with my destiny shining gold telling me there is a possibility of a pathway to bloom with an existence like you that hasn''t fallen under the wings of the Primordials yet." "..." Noah thought of what he had to do in order to rebuild a System that only Primordials could establish. For this...he had to stand against these beings and their Champions- he had to have power! " I am growing my power and stretching across Realities and Dimensions to be capable enough to take on these terrifying beings, to be able to stand up to them as those gaze of looking at everything as if they were mere ants...I want to erase those gazes from their faces." The face of the Primordial that had Shattered his main body appeared over and over again as he spoke about this- the gaze that Noah never wanted toe across continuing to appear in his mind even when he tried to push it out! "I don''t know what System you have or what fortuitous encounter you faced to have the power to even affect Reality and call a Primordial down, but if you are a Champion simr to me. These beings wille for you as well in time." His monologue finished as he stared at the sharp eyes of the being before him. "When that timees, what would you do about the Primordial Beasts that want to devour Universes and Cosmos to return things to what they once were, or the Primordials that just want to expand their dominion and power across multiple realities through the hands of Champions?" Yes! What would happen? Would die simr to how Noah''s main body was shattered, or would he kneel under them and follow orders. This question caused the eyes of the unique being before Noah to shine as his body began to release a dominating air, replied to Noah in a grand fashion! "The Primordials that caused a myriad of branching realities, the Primordial Beasts that want to destroy these realities and bring things back to the natural order, and even the so called tools or Champions in between...no matter what is in y, all I have to do is put these existences under me." RUMBLE! "Whether it be the Beasts, Champions, or Primordials...I will just dominate them and put them all under my feet. Then, I can be the one to decide how things will go. That will naturally solve all problems." ¡­! Grandiose words erupted out from this being as Noah felt his soul shaking at the mere grandness of them! Whether it be Primordial Beasts, Champions, or Primordials...just simply dominate them! ''This¡­'' Noah felt himself reflecting as he thought back to how his own psyche looked at Primordials and Champions. After having his body and soul nearly destroyed by a Primordial, he avoided any Realities with possible Champions as even right now when his other Clone found a Cosmos that most likely had a Champion- he was hesitant to go in! He knew how terrifying these Champions were as he was noticed by one just seconds after he descendedst time and had another portion of his soul killed by them. He looked at Champions and Primordials with the shocking strength they could disy, and he inadvertently looked towards them as if they were some insurmountable wall as even though he knew they were his enemies, he still moved with extreme care at the thought of them. But this being before his eyes had uttered grand words that caused a me to begin to burn in Noah''s soul- a me of anger at his psyche having been dealt a blow from the power of Primordials and Champions as he questioned why he couldn''t do the same thing! Hell, he even had a whole skill tree that he could use to Subjugate beings, so why not turn this towards Champions and Primordial?! As this being stated- as long as he had them under his feet, he could naturally solve all problems. ''Target the Champions...do not run away from them!'' WAA! Noah''s destiny churned as this thought settled in his mind and Origin. His clone that was stationed outside of the barrier of a Reality at this moment shone with power as his face turned utterly cold, receiving themand to descend upon the Cosmos within this Reality and have this be the first test where Noah went against Champion instead of running away! ''Put Champions under my feet...Subjugate them and learn about Systems, then I can easily rebuild my own!'' His destiny burned brightly as he arrived at such a conclusion, the small portion of his consciousness that was about to dissipate in the Primordial Cosmos focusing on the existence that had inspired this change of viewpoint as he asked calmly. "Just...just who are you?" "..." As his glowing eyes reigned in the glorious light of conquest and domination, the unique existence nced forward calmly as he spoke out. "Noah. Noah Osmont." ¡­! Chapter 260 - Target The Champions Of Realities! An existence with the same first name as him! Noah looked towards this being with marvel as he couldn''t help but voice out. "No fucking way¡­" The name of a Champion. The demeanor and power of a Champion! And yet this being...still said he wasn''t a Champion. "Ridiculous...I am Noah. Noah Eckert!" His consciousness that was about to dissipate at any time voiced out as the eyes of the one called Osmont shed sharply! Silence descended between them as the two beings let this Reality sink in before any of them spoke. It was Osmont who sighed at this juncture as he looked up around him secondster and had his voice stretch out calmly. "Ok. Alright. The names are something we can discusster. Let''s get to the root of our current reality first. Destiny seems to say that there lies some stupendous benefits for me when ites to associating with you, and it''s the only reason I even bothered to speak to you in the first ce." "For you to be so proactive, I guess it''s the same on your side. Primordials and Primordial Beasts...and even the Champions that they control. When ites to this...we can cooperate in some form!" WAA! The unique existence that had managed to call down a Primordial and receive a Primordial Heart with ease spoke like so- whatever pull from destiny that Noah felt also being felt by this Osmont as he spoke out proactively for some form of cooperation against the terrifying enemies that would rise before them in the future! The reply from Osmont caused Noah''s destiny to rise even higher as it reinforced his new beliefs even more, his blue eyes releasing pulses of blue light as he nodded. "My authority has spread into this Cosmos enough that I''ll be able to sense you with my unique abilities whenever you get the chance to step out on the Boundary of this Reality...we can discuss more things then." Noah found his voice filled with conviction as this meeting had granted him a vastly different viewpoint that he had already begun to act on! His consciousness was about to disperse in this Cosmos as he spoke out onest time towards the being sharing the same first name as him. "I''ll be waiting to hear from you soon...Noah!" SHAA! His soul finally dispersed, leaving behind a thoughtful existence whose very body continued to release a shocking amount of dominating majesty! --- In the Sapphire Universe of the Otion Cosmos. In the frozen world that was utterly white all around from the influence of Annalise, Noah''s eyes refocused as he looked at her with a smile. "How long will your attention be staying before it flies off to another reality?" Annalise''s voice seemed to be tinged with happiness and sadness, causing Noah to let out a light smile at this as he patted her head and replied. "I''ll be here a while, all I have to do is monitor a clone that will be doing something I should have done the moment that Primordial took away my System...he''ll be targeting a Champion to Subjugate as if this is sessful, I''ll have many answers about Systems and even be capable of reforging my own!" WAA! His domineering words erupted out as Annalise nodded while rolling her eyes, hair fair hands wrapping around him as she pulled him out of the frozen world. "Thene on for a bit. Love and Rose found this warm spring floating in the void of one of the Gxies within this Universe¡­" His current main body was pulled to spend some time with those around him as at this time, his clone that had been stationed outside the Boundary of a Reality without going in finally stepped past it and arrived into a brand new Cosmos! A Cosmos that from what his destiny told him...it held a Champion as this sent danger bells before hand and caused him not to proceed. But now, he proactively appeared here for this exact Champion as beings such as this could be just like him- still rising up in strength and not utterly reaching the peak of the currently achievable realms. Noah nned to slowly move as he obtained information on who the notable existences within the Universes of this Cosmos were, and he would know just which being fit the bill of a Champion as he would then devise a n to take down this being and Subjugate them! "Let''s see...who will you be and what is your System!" His mental waves began to spread out slowly as he moved with care, his body flying silently as he searched for any powerful beings he could initially Subjugate for information. While relying on the essence of destiny, he chose a direction and swiftly flew forward as after a few minutes, he came across the ster brightness of an enormous gxy filled with countless stars, his aura washing over it as he saw that across the trillions of existences within this Gxy- the strongest aura was that of a Paragon in the Gctic Fment Realm! It was an existence that had not even formed their Universe to be a Hegemony as this was utterly weak in Noah''s terms currently, but it would do for him to obtain information as he silently descended into this Gxy and found the unsuspecting Paragon to Subjugate. The memories of this Gxy, the Universe, and the Cosmos he was in bloomed thereafter. "The Alluvium Cosmos!" Noah''s eyes brightened up as he found himself in the Alluvium Cosmos that was filled with 68 Universes, with two factions fighting for control of the entire Cosmos as in the past months, one faction was greatly expanding and winning over Universes as a delicate bnce was broken in this Cosmos. Noah was currently on the side of the Faction that suddenly found themselves to be winning, the reason for this being none other than the appearance of a powerfulbatant in their ranks that quite literally rose from nowhere! "Sudden prominence and gain in strength, with a fighting style that even terrifies this faction that he will soon fully rule¡­an existence thatmands Legions of terrifying Undead that tramples on all other armies as he has been unbeatable since he appeared on therge stage!" Noah''s eyes shone with brightness as he sifted through the memories of the Paragon, obtaining bits of information about an existence that he very quickly locked onto as a possible rising Champion that had yet to get too powerful! Chapter 261 - How Do You Beat A Protagonist? I Across the many vast Realities, one could across many versions of Champions. Other Realities could already have a Champion as the strongest existence within as they can seamlessly defend against the forces of all Primordial Beasts, and other Realities simr to the one Noah had entered before the Primordial Cosmos had unique Champions that even though they weren''t the most powerful- their unique abilities could quickly locate enemies. The moment Noah had entered one of the Cosmos of a past Reality, his soul was sensed by the terrifying Champion as it was dispersed soon after! But this time, he had gotten extremely lucky as the champion within this Cosmos did not have unique sensory abilities, and he also was just a rising existence still in the rank of Antiquity. ''Even then, I still have to move with care¡­'' Noah thought simply as he was already moving across the starry space to another location- this time taking the form of the Paragon that he just Subjugated as he seemed like a local He still had to move with care as even his with his System, he was unrivaled in any realm he entered as his battle power was simply crazy. This possible Champion before him might be just as terrifying if not more as Noah would not move to attack him until he had every possible chance of winning! ''Darkforge Universe, is it?'' He spent some time flying across the folds of space and void as he eventually passed the Universal boundaries of this Alluvium Cosmos and entered one of the core Universes of the faction with the possible Champion leading them. The two Factions were known as the Church of Darkness and the Radiant Church, with Noah falling onto the Universes on the side of the Church of Darkness as all he had to do was get close to their base of operations and begin to Subjugate existences silently until he could make a move on the possible Champion! He entered the next Universe seamlessly as with his aura spread out carefully, he began wading across many new Gxies and subjugating any Paragons he came across along with 3 Hegemonies so far. More and more abundant knowledge flowed into his mind as he confirmed the Darkforge Universe was the location to be, the center of this Universe holding one of the core bases of the Church of Darkness. If one was able to gain ess into this base, they might even be able toe across the existence known as the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer! So Noah began to slowly edge towards the center of this Universe as he came across unique locations and voids, eventually seeing a cluster of hundreds of Gxies surrounding each other as above them, an illusory banner of a ck sickle floated above the space in a grand fashion. "The Hold of the Church of Darkness¡­" Noah''s eyes shed sharply as while he neared this location, he began toe across the auras of more and more experts as he didn''t delve into it right away! He stayed within its periphery as he observed Paragons guarding the periphery of this Gxy cluster known as the Hold of the Church of Darkness, with the auras of Hegemonies present in each of the surrounding Gxies as they acted as themanders. "Very well then¡­" Noah knew what he had to as this was a covert mission for him to move and not be discovered by the possible Champion until thest possible moment, so he began by spreading his influence slowly and silently as his pressure would wrap around the Paragons guarding the periphery of the Hold of the Church of Darkness first before he moved on to Subjugate the Hegemonies, and he would continue in this fashion until his will had silently spread across this entire location! His cerulean eyes shed sharply as he hid himself in the folds of space and began his preparations. --- The river of time moved forward without fail as hours passed by, Noah''s strong consciousness wrapping around and subjugating many of the experts within the periphery of the Hold of the Church of Darkness silently as this was why he was taking a significant amount of time. The paragons he could easily Subjugate after his mental pressure descended on them as perverted their mind, but the Hegemonies he had to move carefully around as they could release a final burst of power to alert others before they fell! So Noah first Subjugated the minds of all the Paragons around a certain Gxy before he silently infiltrated its deepest location to find the Hegemonies, taking them by surprise as he spread out his Mind Realm and Absolute Mental Istion Field to Subjugate these beings as well. It was an extremely terrifying form of invasion as even until this point, nobody in the Hold of the Church of Darkness of this Darkforge Universe knew a thing! Meanwhile, Noah continued to expand his knowledge on the forces within this Cosmos as he received even more information on the being he was now convinced to be a Champion. Like this, days passed as a silent invasion continued in a terrifying fashion! Within the center of the Hold of the Church of Darkness. Inside an enormous church that only beings termed [Cardinals] could enter, a group of them were walking across an obsidian hallway iid with gold as they talked in hushed tones. Each of them held the aura of Hegemonies, and they were going forward to attend an important meeting as Cardinals of the Church of Darkness! "Our glorious path of Darkness is already etched in stone with the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer in the lead¡­" One of the Hegemonies spoke with a fervent gaze as while this group walked forward, all those weaker vowed towards them as they were soon joined by other groups of Hegemonies going towards the same location. Towards the Grand Hall of the Church where the Antiquities- the various Popes of the Church of Darkness along with the renowned figure that was the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer would be there! "Haha, the Radiant Church will perish and be nothing but dust in the annals of history! Come on...let us hurry and see what Universe we n to conquer next¡­" This was a war meeting with the major powerhouses in the Hold of the Church of Darkness to n their next moves, and many Hegemonies and the powerful Antiquities of this faction would be attending! But something nobody noticed was that among the Hegemonies flowing in, some would have a glint of a blue cerulean light shing in their eyes as they walked on normally like any other Hegemonies, but they already had a new master they were adhering to the wishes of at this moment. In this important meeting, Noah already had his influence stretched out to a myriad of Hegemonies as soon enough, he would scheme to silently begin Subjugating Antiquities before he designed a n to take down a Champion without even being detected! Chapter 262 - How Do You Beat A Protagonist? II "Champions of the Church of Darkness...our rulership will soon extend to cover the whole Cosmos under the leadership of the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer- under the banner of Pope Ezekiel!" OOOOH! In the grand hall of one of the central locations of the Church of Darkness, a line up of powerful beings were present as a number of Hegemonies stood in front of dozens of Paragons while looking towards 14 Antiquities situated in obsidian chairs. 13 of these Antiquities were looking towards the figure of a devilishly handsome young man in his early 20s, this being sitting among existences that had lived for hundreds old thousands or even millions of years as he smiled gently! His hands rose in the air to gain everyone''s attention as he spoke out mesmerizingly. "My glory is the glory of the Church of Darkness!" OOOOH! Resonant bellows came from those listening ad they looked towards him with unbridled fervor. "When we stand atop the bodies of the hypocrites from the Radiant Church and turn their own people into Undead that will turn against them...you all will share in this glory along with me!" WAA! Resonant yells and bellows echoed out as the meeting continued, nobody noticing the blue glint hidden within multiple of the Hegemonies attending this meeting today! "When he Conqueror thends of the Radiant Church and upy this Cosmos...then we will begin our true Mandate and spread our power across the Ruination Sea! We will spread our glorious message across the myriad of Cosmos littering those crimson seas!. OOOOH! Subjugated Hegemonies and normal ones yelled out their agreement as the Antiquities holding ranks of Popes watched on with shining eyes. The Subjugated Hegemonies allowed Noah to view everything happening with utter rity as he gazed upon the being he had confirmed to be the rising Champion of this Reality. Ezekiel! Another name that chosen Champions had as this one was merely in the Antiquity stage, but even this was terrifying enough as even with all the power Noah had, he didn''t move to attack directly as he nned to move silently! To defeat a Champion, a being that could literally be considered the protagonist of a Story as they are given a ridiculous system and perks no others can even begin to imagine...one couldn''t attack in a straightforward manner! Noah had read about too many instances where low rate viins attacked the protagonist only to find them advancing another Realm during battle, getting a new weapon that turns the tables, or the power of friendship blooms as allies descend down from nowhere. He knew that he had to move with care as even with the off chance that his abilities were more powerful than this Champion currently, there were still too many things he didn''t know about him and his System. He was a Necromancer that thrived on death, with the information Noah had collected on this so far being the Hegemonies watching in awe as in the Battlefields that Ezekiel passed through, the Hegemonies of Antiquities that had fallen would be filled with his dark essence that permeated throughout their bodies- causing them to rise as Undead Champions that were even more powerful than when they were alive! His arsenal included all previously defeated powerhouses as with a wave of his hands, he could stand against multiple Antiquities alone as hemanded his Legion ls while situated on a throne of bones. Against such a being...Noah had to continue moving with care. He was patient as his Subjugated Blessed sat through this meeting silently, collecting more information on those close to this Champion and also making the Antiquities he would begin to go after and dominate! ''Time is of no consequence...a few days or weeks is no matter as long as I can be sessful!'' With such a thought, Noah continued moving behind the scenes as a few days passed. In these days, his reach extended from Hegemonies to Antiquities as he gained the trust of Popes from their closest confidants and silently Subjugated them while utilizing [Mind Realm] and [Absolute Mental Istion Field], Noah''s reach silently extending into the core of the Church of Darkness. The further his reach extended, the easier and more robust moves he could make as after one Antiquity fell under his control...it was even easier for the rest to do so! This continued until Noah''s consciousness silently became the backbone of the Church of Darkness, the Champion of this Reality facing an unknown enemy that was almost ready to act against him without even knowing such an enemy existed. --- In a Universe in the borders of the Radiant Church. Two armies were amassing on either half of this Universe as the gold robes representing the Cardinals and Popes of the Radiant Church could be seen leading the armies on one side, and the dark robes covering a few Popes could be seen on the other! The essence of thew of light and the Dao of Destiny surrounded the Popes from the Radiant Church as they stood against a powerful evil, but even they felt their hearts waver when they saw the army of the enemy standing before them. The numbers of the army of the Radiant Church totaled a few hundred million experts at this moment, while the ones they were facing...this number was ridiculously in the tens of billions! It wasn''t that the Church of Darkness filled with ranks with weak existences that couldn''t contribute to the fight- it was that a majority of these tens of billions came from a single man! Pope Ezekiel- the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer! All of their brethren that had fallen in the past battles joined his Undead Legions, and Pope Ezekiel could shockingly call forth all of them with ease as his power terrified others. Even though the Radiant Church had light and goodness on their side, they couldn''t help but be afraid. "Look at them squirming like little children...they know what ising, and yet they still fight!" A booming voice echoed out in the center of the ranks of the Church of Darkness, the figure of Pope Ezekiel speaking to two other Popes around him as they gazed at the advancing Undead Legions. By his side, a female Pope smiled as one could see the eyes of Ezekiel drawn to this dazzling smile, her words ringing out calmly. "Don''t start boasting even before the battle has ended now, our little Pope." Her words held a hint of teasing in them as Ezekiel wasn''t angry, even seeming excited as he tried to not show it and gazed out towards the billions of Undead before them. "You still call me that even after I''ve risen so much in power and influence?" There was history between these two beings as Ezekiel had always been chasing Pope Isabe when he was still a Hegemony, and now he felt like this untouched Pope would soon get on his hands as he continued to show off his power! Pope Isabe shook her head with a dazzling smile as she replied. "Focus on the battle at hand Little Pope, maybe afterwards I''ll ept your incessant calls for a dinner." "Oh?" The eyes of Ezekiel rose with a maddened light for power and dominance as heughed and nodded, his hand quaking forth as he seamlessly controlled the Legions of Undead to move forward. By his side, the smiling Pope Isabe watched on calmly as deep in her eyes, a cerulean blue light shone dominantly as another soul was already pulling the reins of this being! Chapter 263 - The Supreme Necromancer System! I A grand battle between the Church of Darkness and the Radiant Church! At the helm was the Unrivaled Dark Necromancer, his eyes shing with a cold light as he gave themand for his Legions of billions to unleash themselves onto the armies of the Radiant Church. Noah had already spread his reach silently to the Antiquities around this being, and he was now observing his strength up close as in the stage of Antiquities¡­this being was utterly terrifying. The first point was that he hid behind his Legions as he never came across any damage when fighting, and the second point was the Legion itself! Within it, dozens of Undead Antiquities could be found as they looked no different from normal existences except for the unique aura of death surrounding them. It didn''t seem repulsive in any way as the essence of death around them seemed majestic, almost as if it was noble! Among the dozens of Undead Antiquities under the banner of Ezekiel, there was one that shone brighter than the rest as this existence used to be the Radiant Commander from the Radiant Church- a powerful Antiquity that was one of the trump cards of this faction for a singr reason. This being was enough of a genius as he stepped outside the Boundary of their Alluvium Cosmos and didn''t perish, being bathed in the essence of Ruination as he learned this Dao thereafter and rose to prominence! This was the first weapon that the Radiant Church had sent when they began to fight against Ezekiel, and he was the first Antiquity that fell to him and bolstered his power to even greater heights as this being was swarmed by a Legion of Billions of Undead that Ezekiel had never shown before. Countless Undead swarmed onto him as he decimated all of them with the unique essence of a Cosmic Dao that destroyed everything it touched, but he eventually ran out of mana to continue utilizing this essence as eventually, he faced his death under Ezekiel''s forces as after that, he rose once more as an Undead Antiquity under him. One thatprehended the essence of Ruination! ''If I seed in this¡­it will be like grasping multiple bundles of Loot in a single move!'' The eyes of Pope Isabe shone with a hidden blue as Noah''s consciousness inside it thought vibrantly. A Champion and an existence that hadprehended the Cosmic Dao of Ruination! If Subjugated¡­Noah himself would obtainprehension in such a Dao as it would be like giving him wings to fly. He could then expand from a single Cosmos within a Reality as he explored the Ruination Seas for all the hidden Cosmos floating throughout a Reality! ''Everything just has to work out perfectly¡­'' Yes. He had bided his time as he moved with care, managing to take over the minds of every single Antiquity that wasn''t an Undead around Ezekiel as now was the time to make a move. In the middle of this war as this Championmanded his Legions, Noah would move to draw out whatever cards he had remaining before he Subjugated this existence! Around Ezekiel, Pope Isabe and two others were in the surroundings as theymanded their own armies from the Church of Darkness or shot dark bolts of light from their bodies, not delving into the battle itself as Ezekiel told them to not bother. His Undead would take care of everything up close as he wanted to show therge extent of his power and how this entire Cosmos would soon fall into his hands! Things were going extremely well as usual, the battle almost won as the ranks of the Radiant Church were nearly dispersed. But out of nowhere¡­a terrifying will descended onto the deathly Battlefield as the space itself seemed to be trembling with it. It was the casting of , ...and a variety of other abilities from the Ancient Mind skill tree that debuffed enemies, all of them shooting out from one of the three Antiquities around Ezekiel as along with this, a terrifying sma Beam tore towards this Champion! RUMBLE! Everything was instantly thrown into chaos as Ezekiel''s domineering expression changed greatly, a vibrant essence beginning to wrap around him as he gazed at the Antiquity throwing an attack his way. A certain shout could be heard as this attack zed forward! "For the Radiant Church!" The expressions of many beings changed as they sought to react, the Hegemonies in the surroundings feeling the terrifying might of the sma Beam tearing through space towards Ezekiel as they couldn''t reach it time. But one being¡­just so happened to be standing by Ezekiel and on the path of this sma Beam, her gaze changing drastically as Pope Isabe''s body brightened up with the aura of multiple Cosmic Daos, a dark cocoon wrapping around her and Ezekiel as she screamed out defiantly. "Protect Pope Ezekiel!" BOOOM! The attack arrived as everything turned tumultuous, shock spreading through the ranks of the Church of Darkness as they never expected to have someone influenced by the Radiant Church in their ranks! When the scene cleared as the st of a sma Beam hit its target, a ravaged dark cocoon popped as it revealed a bloodied Pope Isabe, her left arm and shoulder entirely missing as it was entirely vaporized from her body. She fell back with eyes of hate that were staring at the Antiquity who had thrown the attack, her body being cradled gently into the arms of Ezekiel as his expression was one of utter wrath! "Rudeus!" He shouted out the name of the Pope from their own side that had attacked them, Ezekiel''s body lighting up with a terrifying Darkness as all around him, shocking auras of multiple new Undead Antiquities he never called out before suddenly appeared. OOOOOOH! Their bodies shone with a deadly glint as they actually vibrated with the essence of Ruination, this being a hand that Ezekiel never revealed before! A crimson shield made of Ruination instantly wrapped around Ezekiel and the heavily injured Pope Isabe, this Champion looking at the being that had attacked and wounded the woman by his side as he gave a deadlymand. "Kill them all." WAA! His Undead Antiquities moved out as they prepared to tear apart the attacker, Ezekiel''s eyes also turning distrustfully towards the other Antiquity near them as this one was also shooting out sma Beams as a terrifying Eye of Terror bloomed out to debuff everyone even more. "Good! Good! Destroy them all!" His voice rang out maddeningly once more as he withstood the terrifying pressure surrounding everything, Ruination encasing the round crimson shield he enacted even more as nothing would be able to pass through it! He cradled Isabe in her arms as he nned to rip apart all those who betrayed him and torment them even more after their deaths! Yet the ''injured'' being he was protectively cradling in his arms¡­the eyes of this being released a blinding blue light as maddening essence surged from her! Chapter 264 - The Supreme Necromancer System! II This was why Noah moved carefully around the Champion he was currently targeting! Even after this being deployed a huge army of tens of billions with multiple Undead Antiquities on the lead, he still had a reserve of even more terrifying Undead Antiquities he had hidden away. If Noah had straightforwardly attacked while being confident of his own power, even with his many abilities and strong consciousness- he wouldn''t have been sessful the moment that this being revealed his Undead Antiquities filled with the essence of Ruination and then protected himself in a shield of Ruination! But at this point in time when Ezekiel looked wrathfully at those that betrayed him while cradling Isabe in her arms, Noah made his true move. ¡ª Ezekiel''s heart burned with anger as he withstood the effects of an oppressive aura wrapping around everything. An enemy he never imagined appeared as if he wasn''t prepared, he might have actually fallen to their schemes! ''Rubbish¡­I am a chosen existence! Ever since my transmigration and obtaining my System¡­you think I will fall under mere pawns like you?!'' His mind was filled with wrath while he gazed at his Elite Undead moving to attack his enemies. ''But Isabe¡­'' His heart ached as he thought of the girl that had withstood the first sneak attack and protected him, her body heavily injured as her life force seemed about ready to be snuffed out at any second! Towards this Pope that Ezekiel had always wanted to conquer, he couldn''t help but let his essence flow into her to try and stop her grievous injuries. Yet¡­ "Ha?" His mind nked out in an instant as the moment his guard was most down- when he was protected by a crimson shield of Ruination that nobody could enter and while he was using his essence to try and heal Isabe¡­ SCHULCH! A broken looking golden sword bloomed from the Origin of the injured ''Isabe'' as it sank into the heart of Ezekiel! A form of the Sword of Shattered Reality- a broken Primordial Relic¡­Noah used such a terrifying item to pierce the heart of this Champion while dispersing the essence that one normally used to try and open up boundaries between realities to ravage his Origin! BOOM! Destructive essence tore apart Ezekiel''s body maddeningly, his eyes nk as he stared in disbelief towards the woman he had in her arms. "This¡­what¡­Huk!" Blood leaked from his mouth and nose as his vision wavered, his heart shaken as he never expected for such a thing to ur! When his body was falling back, Isabe''s body rose as her eyes shed with coldness, her hands grasping onto his neck as the form of the Sword of Shattered Reality was forcefully sank even deeper into the body of Ezekiel. [Ruler''s Emenation]. [Subjugate]. Her eyes shed with a terrifying cerulean light as a horrendous mental pressure flooded into the mind of the shocked and heavily injured champion, the physical and psychological damage he had received contributing to this being not being able to hold up any defenses for even a second as the will of another being permeated into his soul and origin! His eyes continued to show shock and disbelief as a single sentence continued to repeat in his mind. ''I am the protagonist¡­I can''t die¡­I am the protagonist¡­'' Disbelief! This was all that remained of a Champion as after being plotted against for days by another existence, he actually fell! ¡ª "This is just¡­" Noah''s consciousness was raging into and subjugating the mind of the Champion before him, and he found it to be the longest subjugation he had done as the soul of this being was unlike any others he had subjugated before. Yet his dominating mental waves were still taking over it slowly because he found the soul of this being to be intricately structured simr to his! As he knew his own soul very well, he followed the paths he was familiar with as his consciousness waved over and controlled everything within a matter of a few seconds. What took the most time to dominate was the central portion of this being''s soul where Noah saw blinding obsidian runic markings simr to something he had seen before- the markings that the Primordial who took away his System had ripped apart weeks ago! Yet the obsidian markings of the soul of the Champion he was taking over were brightly lit up as whatever essence was needed to power up the System of this being was still as vibrant as ever. Essence¡­that Noah was looking for to fully reactivate his Idle Gaming System! WAA! His destiny surged gloriously the moment that his mental essence fully wrapped around the Champion Ezekiel, the form of the Sword of Shattered Reality being pulled out of this being''s chest as Noah began to heal the newest addition to his Subjugated Antiquities. But this one¡­he came with too many stupendous gifts as Noah had to go through them slowly just to grasp exactly what he had obtained! The eyes of Ezikiel showed a dazed expression at this moment as when he became a Subjugated being, Noah began to delve into his vast memories. "This¡­" In the Sapphire Universe of his current main Reality, Noah''s main body rose up as his face was filled with the light of excitement! This was because he had taken less than a millisecond to absorb andprehend the memories of Ezekiel due to his immense consciousness that had been strengthened by the souls of quintillions of existences, and the memories he obtained were truly too wondrous. "The Supreme Necromancer System¡­" This was the System that Ezekiel was granted, the System that allowed him to call forth Undead Legions of billions without so much as a sweat, the System that had its own unique features that Noah¡­could now explore! But apart from all of this, there was also something else that currently bloomed from Noah''s main body. In the world of ice, his hands lifted up as from his palm, a crimson essence bloomed. It was the essence of Ruination! From the abilities under the ||Mind Dominator|| Inherent Skill Tree, the Daos and Laws that all Subjugations under Noah had¡­they could all be obtained by him. Ezekiel''s system was unique as it allowed him to obtain theprehensions of the existences he turned into Undead, and Noah''s abilities also allowed him to obtain theprehensions of his Subjugations as from this- he had finally obtained Ruination! The essence that would allow him to spread his influence from just a single Cosmos within a Reality and into multiple of them! "Haha, good!" His eyes shone vibrantly as he felt his destiny churning in waves, feeling the addition of not just Ruination from Ezekiel, but also the Cosmic Daos of Phantasm and Extinction. But all of these things could actually be considered surface-level rewards as Noah now delved into the true boons from this Champion. That was the System this being held¡­and what Noah could do now that he had gotten his hands on it! Chapter 265 - The Supreme Necromancer System! III In the universal battlefield between the Church of Darkness and the Radiant Church. The golden forces of the Radiant Church were almost wiped out when something urred in the depths of the Legions of the Church of Darkness, the whole battlefielding to a halt as terrifying auras had risen and fallen within a matter of seconds! "Pull back!" The remaining Antiquities from the Radiant Church saw this scene as they used it as an opportunity to retreat with their remaining forces, leaving behind an eerie Undead Legion that currently floated in the ster void silently. Tens of billions of unique Undead floated silently as the one tomand them was currently Subjugated to another being! In the depths of the army of the Church of Darkness, Noah''s clone morphed in front of the dazed figure of Ezekiel as he looked at this champion closely. Dark hair that was currently stained with blood and even darker eyes that absorbed all light nearing them, this being wasrge in stature as he was over 2 meters tall and adorned in a bloodied robe filled with inscriptions of skulls. This¡­was a Champion of Reality that was being raised by a Primordial to be capable of standing against the Primordial Beasts who would seek to devour all the Cosmos within a Reality! Now, the dazed expression faded from this being as a hint of blue light filled his eyes, gazing towards Noah with a unique gaze as soon after¡­he fell to his knees while calling out gloriously! "Master!" ¡­! A future champion of Reality bowed towards Noah, such an ecstatic scene being something very few could even imagine. Noah looked at this being with a smile as he nodded and gave amand while sifting through the memories and most important information from him. "Put your legions on standby and¡­let''s learn more about your System, shall we?" "Yes, Master." The Champion heeded themand as a wave of darkness erupted from him, the vast legions of tens of billions instantly disappearing into nothingness as a wave of darkness was sucked into the body of Ezekiel! The memories this being had were filled with profound secrets that illuminated many things that Noah was unsure about. The first one he focused on was the identity of this Champion, who uniquely turned out to be a transmigrator simr to Noah. A transmigrator! This allowed many questions to arise as to why Primordials targeted beings like this, and if there was something special with the souls of these beings that made them likely to be chosen as Champions. Unlike him though, he came from a Red with a vastly different history, but he perished in an ident as he woke in a small gxy within one of the Universes of this Alluvium Cosmos. At the moment of his arrival, a grandiose being adorned in darkness had appeared as he granted Ezekiel the unique Supreme Necromancer System while giving him the title of a Champion! A being that would grow to shoulder and protect the whole Reality! And he could do all of this with ease as he had something as wondrous as the Supreme Necromancer System. A System that granted him many features¡­features that Noah was currently exploring as he utilized the Authority of the Dominator at this moment to sink his soul and take full control of the body and soul of a Champion! THRUM! "This¡­" The feeling was indescribable as Noah had the sensation of having something returning to him that he had been missing this whole time, and he quickly located this feeling to stem from the depths of Ezekiel''s soul where he felt the runic inscription ofplicated runic markings that glowed with a unique light. A light that was not present in theplicated runic markings in his own soul¡­a light that was the Essence which could bring to life a System! As Noah''s consciousness delved into thisplicated ancient marking and felt this profound essence, a name rose in his mind that caused his cerulean eyes to shine brightly. "The Essence of Reality¡­!" This was the unique essence that allowed the mysteries of a System toe to be- an essence that was paired with the unique markings inscribed in the depths of a special soul as they could utilize ridiculous systems that could bend the very rules of Reality! And the features of the System that Ezekiel had¡­ "[Undead Transmogrification], [Emperor of Necromancy], [Inventory of the Dead], [Necromancy Editor]..." There were a great deal of features under the Supreme Necromancer System as from the viewpoint of Ezekiel, Noah saw the appearance of a dark rectangr interface rise up before his eyes. Unlike the golden blue shine of the Idle Gaming Interface he remembered, this one shone with an enticing obsidian ck color with its words shining in pristine white as it showed off the many things that Ezekiel had ess to- or Noah should now say the things that he had ess to! Under the Supreme Necromancer Interface, he looked into its shining features. [Undead Transmogrification] :: A feature that allows all enemies defeated by the hands of the Master of the Supreme Necromancer System to rise again as enhanced versions of themselves in the form of Undead Vassals. The Master of the Supreme Necromancer System can also actively utilize Undead Transmogrification on existences that cannot deny his power and will, changing their very nature as they be Undead Vassals that can disy ten times the power they had when alive. No mana is required to transmogrify existence into Undead Vassals nor to summon them, and there is no limit to the number of Vassals the Master of the Supreme Necromancer System can call forth¡­ [Necromancy Editor] :: The Undead Vassals under the Master of the Supreme Necromancer System can be changed in unique ways as the Inherent Talents, skills,ws, and Daoprehensions of one Vassal can be taken and moved to another. The Master of the Supreme Necromancer System can also edit the abilities, Daos, or even Edicts that his Undead Vassals have onto himself. Undead Vassals can also be fused once to produce Chimeric Undead Lords¡­ "..." The features of another terrific System bloomed before Noah''s eyes as his destiny surged gloriously, a cerulean glow brightening up in his eyes as he explored more of what this System held! Chapter 266 - Restructure The Idle Gaming System! I The capability to call forth Legions of Undead without the requirement of a resource like Mana! "That''s the feature that cheats the most¡­" Noah''s voice echoed out with marvel at the reality bending effect of this System. The passive conversion of all defeated enemies into high their Undead was one thing, but to be capable of collecting as many Undead as one wanted with no limit and being able to summon them thereafter without even any requirements of Mana? It was a stupendous ability only fit for a Champion! Then, apart from all of this was the feature of Necromancer Editor. Something that actually altered him to move abilities, Daos, or even things like Edicts and cluster them in powerful Undead, and even fuse them onto each other to birth terrifying existences! When Noah got to this point, he couldn''t help but focus on the word [Edicts] that was written in the description of this feature. Since it was in the System, more information would be provided on it when he focused! [Edict] :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from thebination ofws and Daos. An Edict cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. "Oh?" Noah''s attention was entirely drawn in as he pondered on this new knowledge. The Fusion ofws and Daos brought one to the higher stages of power as it was something termed Nomological Edicts! Undeniable truth that if someone did not have one to defend against an enemy that did, they could only be defeated! "It seems far off, but I can see what it takes to dabble in this as well¡­" Noah''s interest was piqued as his eyes ran over the other features of the Supreme Necromancer System. [Inventory of the Dead] :: The limitless number of Undead Vassals can be stored in a unique spatial dimension that the Master of the Supreme Necromancer System can ess at any time. Current Number of Undead Vassals: 139 Billion¡­ [Emperor of Necromancy] :: In your Reality, very few existences can put themselves above you in terms of Necromancy. Under the Supreme Necromancy System, you can obtain all of the concepts that your Undead Vassalsprehend- whether it bews, Daos, or Edicts. ess to the Cosmic Dimensions of Death where you can store your Vassals is granted as when in it, the Emperor of Necromancy can progress through his Realm 100,000,000% faster, the boosts of +100,000,000% to Law and Dao Comprehension are granted to them and their Undead Vassals, the chance of forging Edicts is increased by 10%, and time moves at a ratio of 10,000:1 ¡­.! ess to the Cosmic Dimension of Death that also acted as the Inventory for him to store his Undead Vassals! But the boosts within this Cosmic Dimension of Death were too terrifying as apart from everything, Noah was staring at the time ratio of 10,000:1. A single day in the outside world was equivalent to 10,000 days passing in the Cosmic Dimension of Death! That was the passing of 27 years for just a single day! "Fuck¡­" It was ridiculous! Noah could forget any other features from this Supreme Necromancer System as just this time ratio of 10,000:1 was enough to be a System by itself. As long as one persevered and trained in the Cosmic Dimension of Death, they could be gone for a day and achieve the work of tens of years when they came out. ''If I apply this to myself¡­.'' WAA! The thought came into Noah''s mind and settled deeply while he thought of his own abilities. Just with his Mind Dominator abilities, he could obtain theprehensions of his Subjugations as if he ced them all in the Cosmic Dimension of Death¡­the possibilities of him fullyprehending and assimting a ridiculous amount of Daos in hours or days could ur with ease! This wasn''t to mention he could not do this with the features of the Supreme Necromancer System as well when applied to the Undead Vassals. Too many possibilitiesy before him as this Supreme Necromancer System was a beautiful one that had effectively given wings to a being that had his clipped! "And all of its current features were unlocked as Ezekiel gained more power¡­" Yes! Simr to how Noah unlocked new features of the Idle Gaming System as time passed, the Champion he had subjugated faced something simr as the features Noah had looked at were just the tip of the iceberg. But just this tip was utterly fantastical as while using Authority of the Dominator with the origin and soul of Ezekiel, Noah''s eyes shone while he called out lightly. "Cosmic Dimension of Death." THRUM! Waves of unseen authority undted from his soul as his enhanced senses felt the ancient etched marking deep in the soul of Ezekiel sh, an authority blooming from it as in the ster space of the Universe where the battle between the Church of Darkness and the Radiant Church was taking ce- immense darkness began to coagte! Darkness that rose and fell in terrifying waves as it came together to fold the outline of a deathly ck and white rectangr gateway that released a burst of powerful light when it fully anchored itself in space. Noah stared at this vast doorway as his hands went towards it, finding his fingers to sink in smoothly with no rejection as he confirmed at this moment that while utilizing the Authority of the Dominator, he and his Subjugations were one and the same! He could use everything he had as if it was his, whether it was their abilities, Daos, or even¡­Systems. The sight of him being able to fully do what Ezekiel could do affirmed to Noah that if he Subjugated Champions, he could unequivocally and truly obtain their Systems for him to use as his own! So this Supreme Necromancer System under Ezekiel? It was now his! All of its ridiculous features and possibilities, he would enjoy to the fullest. Such was the thought crossing his mind as he stepped through the deathly gateway and went to observe the Cosmic Dimension of Death that held a ridiculous 10,000:1 time ratio for the first time. Chapter 267 - Restructure The Idle Gaming System! II An endlessly dark space above him and a nk earth below him, with a terrifying air suffusing throughout. This was the atmosphere Noah met with the moment he appeared in the Cosmic Dimension of Death! But apart from this dreary air, there was also a wondrous sight that was breathtaking by all means. It was the sight of tens of billions of Undead ced neatly in rows, with the most powerful being the ferocious looking Antiquities at the forefront that should have been the ones Ezekiel modified and edited the abilities of the most. All of them were facing towards a center point in this Cosmic Dimension of Death as here, Noah could see a mountain of bones that held an enormous Throne of bones. "Hoo¡­" Noah looked at this expansive Space while bringing himself to sh beside the Throne of bones, situating himself into it grandly as he just took everything in for a second! He reflected on everything that had urred and where he stood now, already seeing a grand future unfolding before his eyes if he moved correctly. He didn''t jump into overseeing the Legions of Undead or looking at what he could fuse or Edit from these beings, but he sat on the throne of bones while connecting to the ancient Runic inscription deep in Ezekiel''s soul that he now controlled. Here, 10,000 days was a single day in the outside space as he could spend time here and not feel like he was wasting any, and he was taking this time to fully learn about this unique inscription that forged a System and the Essence required to power it up! He was studying this because he wanted to bring the light back to the nk marking within his own soul- he wanted to see if he could bring back the capabilities of the Idle Gaming System even if by a little from using the essence hidden within Ezekiel! "The Essence of Reality¡­let''s see if we can move some of you from one ce to another!" WAA! His eyes shed sharply as he became entirely serious, waves of his soul gouging into the depths of Ezekiel and wrapping around the Runic markings that brimmed with a unique type of energy. This energy seemed to be shining white in one second and then red in another, and then blue or purple a secondter as it didn''t seem to have a permanent color. Noah''s mental waves that had the identity of Ezekiel wrapped around it while at the same time, he did the dangerous action of infusing more of his soul into the Origin of Ezekiel! Wherever his soul strength clustered the most, this was his main body. The current one was in the Sapphire Universe of the Otion Cosmos in an entirely different Reality, but Noah was taking the dense portion of this soul and slowly infusing it into the Origin of Ezekiel as after a majority of it was clustered into this body¡­ OOOM! Noah gained the unique authority to disy what was at the depths of his soul in this body. It meant that the dim and barely repaired runic construct etching in his soul...came to bloom besides the Runic etchings of Ezekiels that released waves of powerful light! ¡­! The moment was extremely critical as Noah proceeded slowly, observing if anything wrong arose or any unseen issues as when nothing happened, he continued forward by bringing his own runic etching closer and closer to Ezekiel''s until the two touched! "DING!" An austere wave of power erupted out from their impact as Noah watched on breathlessly, his vast consciousness nudging the vibrant Essence of Reality within Ezekiel''s markings to now flow into his own runic markings- even if it was an insignificant amount of it. But he didn''t have to worry. WAA! As if it was a natural process, the Vibrant Essence of Reality within Ezekiel''s runic etching reacted to the nearby construct of another System, this light beginning to flow into Noah''s own runic construct of a System ever so slowly! "..." With rapt attention, Noah continued to watch this astounding scene while paying attention to every minuscule detail, watching as the profound Essence of Reality truly sank into his System as the markings in the depths of his soul began to light up again. It felt like the lights being turned on in a dark room, like something that was always missing was returning to him! He would have loved to dwell on this feeling, but his consciousness moved with even more care after this as he knew that the Essence of Reality was limited. Even by taking a portion of the Essence of Reality from the construct of the Supreme Necromancer System, he had reduced some of its capabilities to reactivate a portion of the capabilities of the Idle Gaming System! For him to do this, he had to focus and understand exactly what the inflow of the Essence of Reality was doing when it flowed into the construct of his System. But¡­such a thing was far beyond his level as he could only fumble in the dark, his waves of consciousness washing over his System construct and repeated sending his will on what he wanted. Ever so slowly, this caused a change in the flow of the Essence of Reality as it moved to cluster over a specific portion of the runic construct of the System, Noah''s eyes bing delighted as he watched this. He was restricting the Idle Gaming System to the points he wanted the most, and his descending will was calling for the base ability of this System that allowed him to add Rifts into Idle Mode and view them on an Interface, along with the Infinite Crucible feature and the Tower of Champions feature! Along with all these, there was the inclusion and reforging connection of Noah''s Units that he could utilize- ess to this wondrous Reality bending feature of fusing Beasts into each other alsoing back ever so slowly. "Good!" His eyes shone with an ecstatic light as he watched this scene, observing the reinstation of his Idle Gaming System- even if it wasn''t the full version of it! The Essence of Reality stopped flowing as the construct of the Supreme Necromancer System wasn''t as bright anymore, but a portion of the construct of another System within Noah was now shining with peals of light in some sections as he called out with eyes filled with excitement. "Idle Gaming System Interface¡­" WAA! A Light bloomed. A blue screen rose from the ashes! Chapter 268 - Restructure The Idle Gaming System! III A golden interface that Noah had seen and been used appeared once more before his eyes. It wasn''t as bright as before, but there it was with all of its glory as Noah became emotional when heid his eyes upon it! In the past, it was something given to him as it was taken away, but he could definitively say that he was forging his own at this moment!? It may not shine as bright, but it was his¡­and this was all that mattered. "The Rifts in Idle Mode¡­" His eyes honed in on where the myriad of Rifts should have been in Idle Mode as he saw nk spaces, all of them actually wiped out from the destruction of the System as it was mainly things that were still entranced deep into his soul that remained. But this didn''t get Noah down as just like how he had filled the interface with a myriad of Rifts before, he could do it again and with just as much ease! He just had to look for Realities simr to the one he stemmed from that had it''d structure heavily dependent on Rifts or Dungeons to fully utilize the features of the Idle Gaming System. His Old Reality still held a terrifying Primordial that was now searching for another Champion, and Noah''s destiny told him not to touch this Reality and even the one where the female veiled Primordial had destroyed his other soul- the Reality where he meant the existence known as Osmont! "There are a myriad of Realities out there, each one more vast than the others as now¡­I can fully explore them with the Cosmic Dao of Ruination!" Yes! Noah had now been given wings to expand his power as he was unhindered, his heart free as he would make his moves as soon as hepletely familiarized himself with his new power and Systems. He looked over the Idle Gaming System and what was lost and regained, and he then turned to the Supreme Necromancer System to see that some of its features had faced a reduction in their Reality Bending Effects! The Price to reactivate his Old System had taken down the terrifying ratio of 10,000:1 and halved it to 5,000:1 in the Cosmic Dimension of Death, and the boosts of Realm Progression and Law and Dao Comprehension were halved, along with the chance of forging Edicts being reduced to 5%. Noah had focused on the Essence of Reality being taken mostly from the feature of Emperor of Necromancy as he didn''t want the even more important features of the Supreme Necromancer System to be taken away, and he now two Systems he could effectively use as he finished his preparations and rose from the throne of Bones within the Cosmic Dimension of Death. He nced at the tens of billions of Undead neatly lining the terrifying Legions before him as these Units screamed for him to use them, his eyes lingering on the powerful Undead Antiquities that released waves of profound power! He had such an army behind him that he could call upon when he explored the Dimensions within the Infinite Crucible that the Primordial had mentioned to be spaces and existences from destroyed or Shattered Realities, and he could alsomand such an army to conquer the Cosmos he appeared in as he put more and more of them under his influence and rose up in power faster..to the point that even the Primordials that granted Systems to Champions of Reality didn''t seem like all powerful existences. To the point that such beings wouldn''t be able to kill others just because they didn''t adhere to their wishes! "You all think you can prance around and control branches of countless Realities while conducting yourselves however you wish?" WAA! His body floated around the throne of bones as while gazing towards the vast Legions of Undead around him, Noah''s stifled heart felt like screaming out. Primordials. Primordial Beasts. Champions! Concepts and existences that were far away in the eyes of others, but Noah felt like he could grasp them! The emotions he felt when the Primordial disregarded him, ripped apart his System, and killed his main body bubbled up ad they were the fuel for what he would do in the future. "The Champions and puppets you are so proud of¡­I will Subjugate them under my feet. And when the timees that I stand at the same level of power as you¡­even the Subjugation of Primordials will be a possibility!" His eyes shed with beams of cerulean blue light as he thought of where he had to begin- the conquering of Cosmos! The number of Marks of Antiquity he would be obtaining to forge more Splendiferous Universes within his Origin would be shooting up as after getting his hands on a myriad of Cosmos as he could not hold himself back. "It is time to Conquer¡­" Yes! It was now time for him to expand his power, look for the counterpart of Ruination that was the Primordial Dao, explore entire Realities and not just a single Cosmos within one¡­and grow the army of his Undead Legion and Subjugated existences as they would all cultivate andprehend Daos on his behalf while he idly sat by! "Let''s start with this Church of Darkness and the Radiant Church hmm?" His body flickered out of the Cosmic Dimension of Death as he reappeared in the space where the battle that had caused the fall of the Champion just urred. The now healed figure of Pope Isabe could be seen along with other Subjugated Hegemonies, Noah looking at all of them impassively as in the form of Ezekiel, he called out lightly. "Undead Legion." WAA! He didn''t even have to call out as he could bring them forth with his mere thoughts, but the Legions of Undead that required no mana tomand or turn bloomed all around them in a terrifying manner. Their gazes were dominant as they were ready to im countless Universes for their Master, Noah''s mental energy waves calling forth a form of the throne of bones he had seen in the Cosmic Dimension of Death as he spoke out calmly. "Move out." OOOOH! The Master of the Supreme Necromancer System and the Idle Gaming System called out grandly for the first time! Chapter 269 - The Endless Ruination Sea! I His Legions of Undead and Subjugated responded out as in this Reality, he began to fully put another Cosmos under him as in another, a portion of his soul was doing something else entirely! In one of the Universes of the Otion Cosmos. Noah wasn''t in the Sapphire Universe filled with cerulean blue seas that he came to love, but he was instead in a Universe near the Boundary of this Otion Cosmos as behind him were the figures of Love, Annalise, and Rose. "You''re sure about this?" Annalise asked in a worrying fashion as Noah was about to do something none of them even dared to do- and that was to step out of Boundary of a Cosmos and into the terrifying Ruination Sea that could destroy a Universal Hegemony in seconds or an Antiquity in dozens of seconds. Noah gave a light nod at the worries of his sister as his body proceeded past the boundaries of the Universe they were in, leaving the protective folds of the Otion Cosmos as he stepped out into a terrifying location! Past the protection of a Cosmos, there was¡­. "The Ruination Sea¡­" His body flickered past the thick boundaries as he appeared in a vast and roiling crimson Sea, the essence of Ruination instantly trying to ravage him when he appeared as his body released a warm crimson glow of Ruination himself a secondter¡­the sea around him bing calm. "Haha!" A vast and endless Ruination Sea filled with unknown Cosmos in the Reality, and all of it was now essible for Noah to explore as he shot out into the unknown without any sense of hesitation! ¡ª As Noah set off with the grand goal of growing his power and Conquest, he continued to familiarize himself with the features of the Supreme Necromancer System as he yed around with the capability to move abilities and even Daos from some Undead to another, observing how Ezekiel had done it in the past and what he could change. He also tested the Fusion of Undead into Chimeric Undead Lords as he found it to be slightly less amazing than the Fusion of his Units that required a crazy amount of loot- all of these tests and more being done while he spread out his Will over the new Cosmos and destroyed whatever conflict the Radiant Church and the Church of Darkness were having within this Cosmos- going towards bringing everything under him as he would obtain many Antiquities under him from this Cosmos. Meanwhile, the other Portion of his soul was exploring the vast Ruination Sea in another Reality while the third portion of his soul that he could spare¡­it was looking for another suitable Reality that had Rifts and Dungeons for him to allow the Idle Gaming System to shine once more! He followed his destiny simr to how it had led him to the Reality that held the Primordial Cosmos, and he was confident in locating a Reality filled with Rifts in this manner as he would soon be able to see the beautiful prompts of Looting into his inventory while he just rxed. ¡ª Outside of the Otion Cosmos, within the first Reality Noah had appeared in after his main body''s death after the hands of the Primordial. This was the second Reality Noah had entered after the one he transmigrated in, and he was lucky enough to be in a nondescript Cosmos out of all the Cosmos within this Reality when he appeared! Each Reality was different with what they held, but a single fact remained the same- that each one would be under the influence of a Primordial as a Champion always existed within a Reality. Noah had note across any Champion within this Reality that he wasing to term the Second Reality, and he expected for an existence like this to be out there somewhere in the Ruination Sea of this Reality! What he didn''t know was how strong such an existence already was nor anything about his System. But this was where the fun of exploration and adventure came as while wrapping himself protectively in the essence of Ruination, he began to fly away from the Otion Cosmos and venture out into the crimson Sea around him. Apart from the Cosmos that were hiddenly floating within this Ruination Sea, one coulde across a myriad of dangers from unique spatial storms or even the more likely event- running into a Primordial Beast! Noah was actively urging his destiny and fortune as he followed it to whatever direction it would lead him, being ready to act or escape at any moment if the need arose. But the Ruination Sea was too vast, the Expanse of Reality being something Nirmal existences couldn''t even imagine as hours passed while Noah explored silently. His mana would have long run out from the rampaging see of Ruination Essence that tried to destroy everything within it, but he borrowed from the many Subjugated Blessed he had as a defensiveyer of his own Ruination Essence surrounded him calmly! While traversing the Ruination Sea after a day, blue prompts appeared before his eyes that caused him to smile. They stemmed from the Idle Gaming System- but it wasn''t the prompts of Loot as this time around, they were text boxes of a very miniscule feature that Noah had weaved in while he bnced the Essence of Reality from the construct of the Supreme Necromancer System and the Idle Gaming System! It was the pure quantification of how his progress was going while he was Idle, and this time it rted tows and daos that he had his Subjugated Blessed cultivate as he obtained their progress that he summed up into these automatic prompts which shoulde at the end of each day now! [Ezekiel and four Undead Vassals haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Ruination for 24 hours. +6% has been added to the Comprehension of this Dao¡­] [18 Subjugated Antiquities haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Extinction for 24 hours. +28% has been added to the Comprehension of this Dao¡­] "..." Noah smiled lightly at multiple prompts such as these blooming from the Idle Gaming System Interface, loving this feeling of doing nothing but gaining everything the most! "Oh?" Amidst his admiration of the things he could do though, his senses finally picked up something that wasn''t just the crimson Ruination Sea. It wasn''t anything like the images of Primordial Beasts he had seen in the Usurper''s memories, his senses expanding further as his destiny began to undte slowly- a smile appearing on his face as he went forward! Chapter 270 - The Endless Ruination Sea! II In the vast Ruination Sea. The figure of Noah was traversing alone as auras of multiple existences were picked up near him, his heart calm as with his destiny not warning him of any dangers, he proceeded forward! WAA! The Ruination Sea surged as he came across the auras he sensed, and the existences revealing these auras also came to gaze upon him as the multiple waving consciousnesses caused the surroundings to churn. ''Oh?'' Noah''s eyes lit up as he saw the appearance of unique existences in the crimson sea, existences that were the size of worlds as they towered over 5,000 miles in size- their bodies releasing an air of power and brutality! It was 5 Antiquities adorned in unique attire, with their upper bodies beingid bare as sculpted muscles could be seen, and their lower bodies covered by what seemed to be animal furs as in their hands¡­glimmering bone weapons that swirled with runic symbols shone dangerously. Their eyes held a trace of brutality and wildness that Noah could only express with one word- Savage! "Little thing, where are you from?" WAA! The resplendent looking Savage being at the very forefront stepped forward, his eyes looking at Noah''s small figure in disdain as be askedmandingly! The four Antiquities around him didn''t even bother to ask as their bodies lit up with power, one of them voicing out as the bone weapons shining with Runic symbols in his hand began to vibrate madly. "Emberheart¡­The Great Ruler expects us to find other Cosmos on this trip, do not waste time. We will simply read his memories after death and we will know which Cosmos he stemmed from¡­" ¡­! The eyes of this being shone with brutality as he spoke with amanding air, the one he called Emberheartughing as his body also began to light up with power! Barely an exchange, and the first existence Noah met within the endless Ruination Sea were already turning their weapons against him as he smiled coldly. "Ruler''s Emanation." RUMBLE! The surrounding crimson Sea tumbled and toiled as an immense mental pressure pervaded out. A mental pressure from a past Champion that had reactivated his System. A mental pressure from an existence that had subjugated another Champion! A mental pressure from Noah¡­who had devoured countless souls to strengthen his. The savage looking Antiquities with shining bone weapons faced such a pressure as their gazes changed entirely, one of them bellowing out as his Universes began to burn without so much as a reservation! "He is a Dao Warmonger¡­run!" ¡­! Shamelessly, these existences tried to preserve their life as they granted Noah a title he had yet to understand, a smile bing etched on his face as the pervasive mental waves spread out around him moved under hismand. They wrapped around the bodies of these 5 Antiquities seamlessly as under the terrific abilities from the Telekic Emperor, these beings were caught in a they couldn''t escape from! "Subjugate." A sh of cerulean blue light. A glimmering of blue as thereafter¡­the wills of 5 beings came under another! ''Now¡­let''s see where unique existences like youe from.'' Noah''s eyes were vibrant as his mental pressure pervaded the 5 existences, putting them under his control as he dug into their memories to understand more about them. ''This¡­!'' His eyes opened wider in surprise as what unfolded within his mind was a history and opportunity he never expected! ¡ª The Savage Kingdom. This was the name of thends the 5 Antiquities stemmed from- a collection of Cosmos under the banner of an existence many called the Great Ruler or the Great Chieftain, an existence that ruled everything with an iron fist! The Savage Kingdom was vast as it contained hundreds of clustered Cosmos that the Great Chieftain collected and bound together, parties like the ones that Noah had met being sent out routinely to locate new Cosmos to bring under their banner. The name of their kingdom and the manner they carried themselves was a unique tribal one, the influence of the Great Chieftain stretching down over all his people as they revered him to no end! Memories of the Savage Kingdom were so abundant and filled with different histories and cultures that Noah had not yete across, causing him to be lost in it for a few seconds before a deep smile overcame him. This was because this Savage Kingdom was filled with powerhouses, the Antiquities that Noah had just defeated being known as Warlords while those above them were known as Dao Warmongers! Dao Warmongers referenced existences who had attainedplete Assimtion in both the rare Dao of Ruination and the Primordial Dao, this action actually opening up a new pathway to power that Noah had yet to explore. A pathway that after the assimtion of these two Daos, an existence could actually brand the very Dao Lines of the Daos theyprehended onto his body and soul as they gained tremendous power! Noah''s soul strength was so vast and ridiculous that just from casting Ruler''s Emanation alone, these beings had mistaken him for a Dao Warmonger as they were quick to disregard anything to do with honor and pride while trying to run. ''The Savage Kingdom¡­interesting!'' His eyes shed with a baleful light as apart from the Dao Warmongers, there were Dao Sentinels that had begun ying in the field of fusingws and Daos to possibly form Edicts, and then there was the Great Chieftain himself¡­an existence that more than likely had already an Edict if not multiple of such terrifying concepts. ''More than likely the Champion of this Reality, and a powerful one at that!'' Noah thought such a thing as he took into his hands the bone weapons shining with Runic symbols that the 5 Warlords currently kneeling before him were carrying. [Refined Primordial Bone Club] :: The bones of a Primordial Beast roughly ground down to a weapon capable of ignoring 50% of all defense, grant the user +2,000,000% to Health, +1,500,000% Mana,+1,000,000% Resource Regeneration, +1,000,000% to All Damage, and +1,000,000% to Defense¡­ A new ce that held abundant history and powerhouses. A Savage Kingdom that had experts capable of even hunting Primordial Beasts¡­and a newnd for Noah to step in and expand his power! ''This isn''t to mention the fact that there are actually naturally born Dungeons within the Savage Kingdom of this Great Chieftain¡­'' Yes! There were a great deal of things for Noah to explore as even towards this possible Champion that was multiple power levels above him, there was only one thing Noah was thinking about. ''Now, what System does someone like you have¡­'' ¡­! Chapter 271 - The Savage Kingdom! I Warlords that were equivalent to Antiquities, Dao Warmongers that had achievedplete assimtion in the Dao of Ruination and the Primordial Dao as they gained the fantastical capability of deconstructing and reconstructing the Daos theyprehended into Dao Lines that they branded to their bodies, and then there were Dao Sentinels that had began to fusews and Daos together to try and erect Edicts! Above all of them, there was the most likely Champion of Reality that was the Great Chieftain, and this was the existence that stood above everyone in the Savage Kingdom. Towards this newnd, Noah had to delve into it and experience it himself as the memories he was obtaining from the 5 Warlords he defeated were abundant, but not enough! In the chaotic Ruination Sea, Noah gazed at the figures of the 5 Warlords as a blinding blue light began to cover their bodies and his. "Let''s go take a look at this Savage Kingdom, shall we?" He spoke with a devilish smile as he focused on the memories of these beings, intent on conducting many long distance teleportations until they arrived into the depths of the Savage Kingdom that they stemmed from! The glow of mana remained on their bodies as they flitted across the crimson Ruination Sea for a few seconds, huge teleportation jumps that covered vast distances urring as after a few seconds... WAP! Onest jump was made as Noah no longer found himself in the Ruination Sea, going forward and teleporting in a prominent Cosmos within the memories of the beings he just Subjugated! This Cosmos was at the very center of the Savage Kingdom, and also the location where all the important things urred. Yet when Noah teleported into this Cosmos and gazed around him...earth could be felt below him as verdant grass waved majestically, an air filled with life and vibrant energies that came together to cause colorful waves of light to undte on the sky above him. Yes. An earth below and an endless sky above as surrounding Noah and his 5 Subjugated Warlords...there was a vast array of lush trees that were dozens of miles long, stretching into the vast skies where one could hear the cries of fearsome Beasts resounding out! It was a breathtaking sight all around as anymon man watching it would be blinded by all the informationing in and all the things being seen. To understand the location Noah had just teleported in, we have to first understand the concepts of the size of Universes and Cosmos. A Universe wasmonly around 100 Billion Light years in diameter, with a single Cosmos having around 50 Universes or more clustered within it. The Cosmos that Noah had appeared in was utterly unique as whether through natural means or artificial, it uniquely contained not the average of 50 Universes...but a single ster object the size of a Cosmos! A single, vast, and shocking ster object that could be considered a- such a thing covering the size of an entire Cosmos as it was the size of dozens of Universes. This...was the center of the Savage Kingdom, the ce known as the Archaic Tribal Lands! A ster object the size of an entire Cosmos that was thousands of Billions of light years in size, the sheer size of the Archaic Tribal Lands being unimaginable as the vast majority of powerhouses from the Savage Kingdom were clustered here. One could live for millions of years and still not be able to cover every single surface area of this vast Archaic Tribal Lands as it was here that the Great Chieftain was born and rose- and it was within this same Archaic Tribal Lands that Spatial Rifts tore across its atmosphere to bring out terrifying Primordial Beasts! The Archaic Tribal Lands seemed to a be a unique location that acted as a conduit for many things, with storms of Primordial Essence erupting in certain areas as thereafter, Dungeons would be formed as they were doorways which Primordial Beasts used to routinely attack and ravage Lands the size of Gxies. Apart from the deadly Primordial Beasts stemming from Dungeons, there were also the Archaic Beasts that were the true natives of the Archaic Tribal Lands, these existences still controlling half of this vast Cosmic-sized as their power was something that even the Great Chieftain had not fully ovee- the two sides having a shaky alliance formed to stand against the Primordial Beasts that wanted to devour and destroy their homes. This was what the Archaic Tribal Lands consisted of! A Tribal faction led by the Great Chieftain, a faction of Archaic Beasts led by an unknown existence, and the maddened Rifts that released Primordial Beasts every now and then! All of them...clustered around this central sized Cosmos as if there was a huge secret that they all wanted hidden within. "And now...here I am!" WAA! Noah silently proimed as he gazed once more around the area he had teleported in with his 5 Subjugated Warlords. His aura was hidden as he had the shade of the enormous cluster of rising trees, each one seeming to put skyscrapers to shame as a normal sized human being would be akin to a bug while walking through these Lands! The trees were dozens of milesrge, the verdant grasnd had grass taller than two humans put together, and every span of this Archaic Tribal Lands...there were the terrifying Archaic Beasts and possibly raging Primordial Beasts that had made their way in. The Cosmos surrounding this Archaic Tribal Lands that made up the rest of the Savage Kingdom were simr with the dangers but to a much lesser extent, and from the knowledge he obtained, Noah knew that there were hundreds of Cosmos clustered together with the Archaic Tribal Lands at the very center of it all. Within these Archaic Tribal Lands...boundless opportunities were waiting for Noah as it was filled with Warlords, Dao Warmongers, Dao Sentinels, and even the Champion of Reality! Taking light steps across the verdant greenery all around him and feeling the aura of Savage Archaic Beasts in the skies and hidden within the earth as well, Noah''s eyes shone with a bright glow as he went forward. "Let''s delve into the Tribe you 5 stem from first, the Ebony Horde that guards against a Lesser Primordial Rift!" WAA! Noah''s resonantmand echoed out as 5 Warlord Antiquities nodded subserviently, his Path into the Archaic Tribal Lands beginning at this moment. Chapter 272 - The Savage Kingdom! II As Noah set off towards the Ebony Horde Tribe that held a Lesser Primordial Rift and began to leave his footprint in the Archaic Tribal Lands of the Savage Kingdom within the Second Reality, the Champion he took over the mind of in the Third Reality was also setting off, and in an even more domineering manner! Within his Cosmos, Ezekiel had been battling the Radiant Church this whole time as with Noah''s introduction, this faction fell in mere days as apart from the terrific Undead Vassals that could be called out, their Master now had horrific wide spread area of effect debuff abilities as thebination of the abilities of the Great Usurper, Noah''s own Inherent Skills, and the Supreme Necromancer System¡­the entire Cosmos came under Noah too easily. He had familiarized himself with the Supreme Necromancer System as at this moment, the number of Undead Vassals had gone from the dozens of billions that Ezekiel first controlled to Noah now being able to call upon¡­over a trillion Undead. A trillion! The number had risen up so high because in the past, Ezekiel only kept the strongest existences within his Legion, but Noah''s inherent abilities that granted boosts to his Subjugated made it so that even weaker Undead in rank could show terrifying power! With all these factors, he entirely upied the Cosmos and turned its most powerful Antiquities and Hegemonies into Undead Vassals. The number of Marks of Antiquity he was getting from hisplete Influence over this Cosmos within the Third Reality and the Otion Cosmos in the Second Reality meant that Noah was going to be capable of very quickly forging his Splendiferous Universes, the increase of his ranking being even more ridiculous as he truly fell into utilizing the Idle format of all the abilities he had built up to begin rising rapidly in power. This could be best exined by seeing the prompts that appeared before Noah''s eyes after 24 hours had passed! [39 Subjugated Antiquities have forged 44 Normal Universes in thest 24 hours. +44 Normal Universes have been added to your origin¡­] [Ezekiel and ten Undead Vassals haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Ruination for 24 hours. +16% has been added to the Comprehension of this Dao¡­] [39 Subjugated Antiquities haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Extinction for 24 hours. This Dao has now been fullyprehended¡­] "Brilliant¡­" Within the boundaries of the newly Subjugated Cosmos, Noah had the face of Ezekiel as he sat in the throne made of bones in the Cosmic Dimension of Death, watching the promote appear and fade away before his mind with a deep smile. He could sit idly by while his Subjugated Blessed raised their ranks,ws, and daos as he obtained it all thereafter! Within his Origin, Normal Universes were being forged through the day, and he could use his Marks of Antiquity to turn them into Splendiferous Universes easily thereafter. He was obtainingpleteprehension and assimtion in many Cosmic Daos, and just when he thought that he had collected more than enough of them¡­he found new Daos every time he Subjugated new Antiquities and Hegemonies. The Dao Comprehension and Assimtion was happening even faster as Noah ced the Undead Vassals in the Cosmic Dimension of Death that had the 5000:1 time ratio to cultivate, achieving the unreal rate of progress he currently had as his power¡­it was hard to quantify it at his stage! He was no Normal Antiquity as first, the strength of his soul was ridiculous, and he then had overpowered Undead Vassals and Subjugated Antiquities that were multiple times more powerful than other existences just from the boosts they received from Noah''s Mind Dominator abilities, not to mention the perks of the Supreme Necromancer System. It was why in the Second Reality, the 5 Antiquity Warlords had mistaken him for a Dao Warmonger that had already fully assimted Ruination and the Primordial Dao as he had begun deconstructing and reconstructing his Daos into Dao Lines even though he was nowhere close! But such power made Noah extremely decisive as when it came to this Third Reality where he already had control of the Champion, he nned to¡­ "Dominate all other Cosmos with endless waves of Undead Legions as the only enemies within this Reality for me¡­are the Primordial Beasts!" WAA! While situated on his throne of bones, he spoke out grandly as he saw huge possibilities from this Third Reality. "And when the timees, I will see whether even the Primordial Beasts that are born to devour Cosmos¡­if such existences can alsoe under me as Undead Vassals or Subjugations!" Multiple ideals shone within his mind as his body shed away from the Cosmic Dimension of Death. He appeared in front of the ster Boundary of the Cosmos that had fallen to him as he stared out towards the expansive Ruination Sea outside the Boundary. Behind him, the figures of 10 powerful Chimeric Undead Lords appeared- these being the fused products of Undead Antiquities as their power neared that of Dao Warmongers! A crimson light wrapped around these Undead as it also went on to cover Noah, their figures sinking into the Boundary of the Cosmos as they stepped out into the crimson Sea. Noah''s gaze was steady as with the illusion of countless Undead Legions behind him, he set off to Conqueror more Cosmos and even test the power of the terrifying Primordial Beasts in the Third Reality! ¡ª Meanwhile, in the Second Reality. Within the vast Archaic Tribal Lands that covered a whole Cosmos. Noah and his Subjugated Warlords crossed the beautiful ins and grasnds while flying low, the endlessly stretching out forests continuing for millions of miles all around them as soon enough, one could see a structure to them The piercing trees that stretched to the skies seemed to form in circr rings that protectively acted as a barrier, with this barrier protecting an expansive Tribe that stretched out over 100,000 miles- a distancerger than many Large Worlds! ''The Ebony Horde¡­'' Noah had a deep smile as he openly flew towards the bounds of this Tribe, and he had nothing to fear as 4 Warlords that had this Tribe as their home were flying all around him! Yes- it was only 4 as he had taken over the body of the 5th Warlord with the Authority of the Dominator, this return trip seeming nothing more than powerful Antiquities returning to their homes. As for the main body within the vast Archaic Tribal Lands, it remained behind the area they initially teleported in to explore this endless Cosmic sized, and he sought to scout other locations that had Primordial Rifts! There were Savage Archaic Beasts to discover on top of the Primordial Rifts that he truly wanted to get his hands on, with too many possible boons for Noah to take being in this ce as Noah wanted to move efficiently. In the bounds of the Ebony Tribe. WAA! Multiple auras locked onto Noah and his 4 Subjugated, the powerful Warlord Antiquities these auras belonged to rising up hundreds of miles away from where Noah could see a huge bone wall erected as it stretched out endlessly left and right! "Zanaba¡­why are you all back so soon? You were boasting of onlying back after you located another Cosmos and reported it to the Great Chieftain, haha!" Boisterous voices resounded as Noah saw three powerful figures of savage looking Antiquities with bare chests and only fur pants below them, but their eyes were friendly as they came besides him and the other 4 Antiquities while talking like close friends. Noah had taken over the body of Zanaba as he replied with a hidden devilish smile, talking and having the mannerisms of this Antiquity fully as even the most famous actors in Noah''s home world would despair at the level of his acting skills! Like this, he seamlessly passed the bone wall of the Ebony Tribe as lying behind it¡­was a glorious Tribal City that stretched out for 100,000 miles and held trillions of existences. At its center was a Lesser Primordial Rift, and the existence at the top of this Ebony Horde Tribe was the existence titled The Ebony Wolf- an existence at the level of a Dao Warmonger that had began deconstructing and reconstructing Daos into Dao Lines! Chapter 273 - Lesser Primordial Rift! I The Ebony Horde Tribe! It was in a unique location within the Archaic Tribal Lands as it was a bone-walled Tribal city known by many, being somewhat special as at the very center of it- there was a Lesser Primordial Rift. The existence of the Ebony Horde was precisely due to this Lesser Primordial Rift, where a City was made around it in order to stop it from bing a gateway that could be used by Primordial Beasts to enter and ravage their Cosmic sized. If left alone, a Lesser Primordial Rift was simr to any designed Rifts or Dungeons, and it could act as a gateway for other existences to descend! So the warriors of the Ebony Horde under the leadership of the powerful Dao Warmonger Ebony Wolf would routinely risk their lives to enter the Lesser Primordial Rift and reduce the amount of essence building up within it- sessfully protecting their Lands after this! ''Definitely a unique location..'' Noah thought as such as he held a light smile while looking at the vast Tribal city before him. Whether by choice or nature, everything within looked Tribal and primitive even with the powerful ranks these beings hard, with Noah seeing the roaring figures of tamed Archaic Beasts throughout the Tribal city pulling huge carts holding meat or materials across many winding streets filled with ancient-looking bone houses and structures. Many of the humans here were naturally titanic beings, Noah having already taken this feature as the average height that everyone took was ten times that of normal humans! "Our Ebony Horde is truly a humorous one under the banner of the Ebony Wolf¡­not even Archaic Beasts dare to raid our city!" A boisterous voice of one of the guarding Warlord Antiquities that hade to wee Noah and his 4 Warlord Subjugations voiced out. "They don''t dare to raid because not many live in this region you fool¡­if we lived near the Ancestral Forests that these Archaic Beasts upied, would you speak so freely?!" Noah replied in an even more boisterous fashion, these beings shing smiles andughing thereafter as while flying into the city and watching the unique scenes below, Noah continued. "We should be clearing that pesky Rift soon yes? This time I want to bring glory and take down a Lesser Primordial Beast myself!" "You''ll die before you try Zanaba! You cannotpare to the strength of a Dao Warmonger¡­" The primitive Warlords rolled their eyes while replying to him with the name of the body he took over, Noah smiling lightly as he continued covered with them as this being would while they delved deeper into the vast Ebony Horde. At the edges of the City were mostly bone houses and teepees, which were wooden houses made of wood, woven mats, and sheets of barks. But the deeper one went in, the more fantastical the structures became as Noah saw fantastical bone houses multiple storiesrge appearing. They shone with a pristine white glow as some were painted crimson or gold- this crimson being the blood of Archaic Beasts while the gold was actually the golden blood of Primordial Beasts! The more powerful abodes were the ones that swirled with golden lines that represented the blood of Primordial Beasts, the abodes of the Warlords Noah Subjugated having this style as they could be seen fully when they arrived in the depths of the city. There''s were unique as they seemed like separate domains a hundred or so miles that one Warlord Antiquity oversaw, their homes being at the center of their domain as they lived herevishly. "Old friend, make sure you''re not seen leaving your guarding post for too long. We''ll go out to hunt after I get some rest!" Noah voiced out to the guarding Warlord that flew with them as he nodded and replied with a boisterousugh. "Hah! Rest? That''s thest thing I ever see you getting Zanaba!" This beingughed with ridicule as he flew away while gazing at the many exquisite bone abodes Noah stopped over, this being the region that the one called Zanaba controlled as the reason that his friend spoke like so¡­. Was because in this primitive culture of the Ebony Horde, the strong were revered as in the central bone house that seemed like a castle was Zanaba''s home. Within this castle¡­Zanaba had over 100 women attending to him, and this was why his friend said he wouldn''t be getting any rest! When it came to the female Warlord Antiquities, some took single partners or few...and there were also those that had dozens serving them in their homes. The Warlord Noah currently took over enjoyed a Harem of over a hundred women in this primitive Tribal Land, but Noah didn''t delve into this as he stood floating above his above while staring towards the center of the Ebony Horde. There, even more exquisite bone structures reminiscent of castles could be seen as they surrounded a singr object. Aiming with a white luster and its edges constantly pulsating with light, an enormous white Rift that stretched out into the skies for tens of miles could be seen. This¡­was the Lesser Primordial Rift that Noah wanted to delve in and add into Idle Mode! ''Disperse.'' He gave themand as the 4 Antiquities around him went back to their own abodes, many ns swirling in his mind about this Ebony Hode Tribe as he looked forward to seeing the Lesser Primordial Rift they always protected! Within it were existences Noah wasn''t fully confident of defeating alone, so he would be joining in when the leader of the Ebony Horde Tribe entered within the next few days as he rode the coattails of this being while he expanded his influence within this Tribal city. The goal as always was to silently Subjugate Hegemonies and Antiquities, but he had to do this with even more care as he didn''t know what type of strength the being that had achievedplete assimtion in the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination as they had begun to deconstruct Daos into Dao Lines would have. So he moved with care as at this time, he seamlessly flew down to the abode of Zanaba to blend in with the mannerisms of these beings while he scouted the many locations within this Ebony Horde and the Antiquities he could Subjugate along the way! ¡ª < > [44 Subjugated Antiquities have forged 55 Normal Universes in thest 24 hours. +55 Normal Universes have been added to your origin¡­] [Ezekiel and ten Undead Vassals haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Ruination for 24 hours. +18% has been added to the Comprehension of this Dao¡­] [44 Subjugated Antiquities haveprehended the Cosmic Dao of Permafrost and the Grand Dao of Bones for 24 hours. These Daos have now been fullyprehended¡­] :: 576 Normal Universes, 135 Splendiferous Universes. Chapter 274 - Lesser Primordial Rift! II The Ebony Horde Tribe was vibrant and filled with life as many beings came and went, many of the strong beings forming parties to go out to hunt stray Archaic Beasts as theye back with their huge bodies to roast and enjoy during the time of the night. On the first day there, Noah was nning to join these hunting parties in theing future as he would expand the number of Subjugated being under his influence in these Archaic Tribal Lands, but this n was scrapped when in the next day, the figures of Zanaba''s friend flew into his abode while voicing out boisterously. "Zanaba! You are lucky enough to put your words to test as the Ebony Wolf has proimed another expedition into the Primordial Rift today!" "Oh?" From his abode, Noah rose up with a light of interest as he put on a primitive fur skin on his body and flew out with one of the giant Refined Bone Clubs that Antiquities from this Tribe carried. "Come, the lucky Warlords who are around today can join the Chief in the expedition as we can finally face Primordial Beasts again. We''ll see if you freeze at the sight of their roars!" The boisterous huge menughed around him as the 4 other Warlord Antiquities Noah had flew over to this area as well, these powerful beings mixing and talking together as they made their way to the very center of the Ebony Horde Tribe! Each of them had eyes shining with battle intent as all powerful beings in the Archaic Tribal Lands lived for battle, with battles against Primordial Beasts being especially glorious for them due to their rewards and honor. From these existences, one could obtain Primordial Hearts to elevate the number of the Splendiferous Universes as well as the meat, blood, and bones of these unique beasts that could continuously strengthen one''s strength and status. Noah flew across the skies of the Ebony Horde Tribe with these Antiquities as their excitement could be felt throughout, their figures gradually descending when they approached the enormous crack of a spatial Rift that had terrifying auras below waiting for them. Multiple Warlord Antiquities could be felt from these auras as apart from them, one single aura of power was vibrantly outssing everyone there! It was the aura of the only being above all of them in level- the one that led the Ebony Horde Tribe into glory for the past tens of thousands of years! The Ebony Wolf! The leader of the Ebony Horde Tribe wasn''t an enormously built muscr man as before them was a slender figure adorned head to toe with primordial bone armor, her hair glimmering gold as she had an entourage of 10 Warlord Antiquities behind her who stood respectfully. The slender figure was extremely unique as between the gaps of the primordial bone armor, one could see fantastically glowing tattoos that represented Runic Dao Lines that Dao Warmongers could obtain after they had assimted Ruination and the Primordial Daos and began to deconstruct and reconstruct their Daos in exchange for Dao Lines! Her expression held utter dominance as she looked at the group of other Antiquitiesing towards the pulsing Lesser Primordial Rift while rising up. "Ebony Wolf!" "Ebony Wolf!" Noah and the others bowed to pay their respects as the Dao Warmonger nodded, her golden hair falling into the gaps of the armor as she rose up domineeringly while speaking out, not even bothering to gaze deeply at any of them. "This should be more than enough. Let''s go!" "Yes!" Amand was given as the Warlord Antiquities quickly followed, their hearts full of excitement as they would get to experience fighting Primordial Beasts and possibly gain the resources to help them elevate their power whenever Ebony Wolf chose to dive into the Lesser Primordial Rift. Recently, she had been taking Antiquities to clear it with more frequency as more deaths rose here and there, but their Ebony Horde Tribe had gradually been getting stronger from this as the Warlord Antiquities weed it! The figure of Ebony Wolf seamlessly flew towards the pulsing white rift as the others followed closely behind her, Noah and his Subjugations also being among them as they disappeared into a Dimensional Rift. The first Dimensional Rift for Noah since he restructured his Idle Gaming System! BZZT! Spatial essence wrapped around them as Noah felt the familiar sensation of entering another dimension, his sight returning secondster as he found himself and the figures of Antiquities floating atop a glimmering blue sky. Below them, a churning sea that was utterly white in color could be seen, this being a raging liquid form of the pristine Primordial Essence that those entering Primordial Rifts always dove in to try andprehend the Primordial Dao! The essence of this unique Dao was unlike Ruination as it didn''t destructively rage and try to destroy the origins of those within it, but its sheer power still overwhelmed many who couldn''t stand it as even Antiquities could still drown in a sea of Primordial Essence. Another reason for their worries is that within the raging white sea below them¡­ "ROAAR!!!" Were the fearsome Primordial Beasts! Noah saw his first one at this time as from the tumultuous sea, he saw a majestic golden eyes creature rising its head to gaze towards them, the eyes of this beast alone being the size of small worlds as its entire body was huge! From it''s body, Noah could see the glorious features of dragons and phoenixes as the eyes of these beasts were covered by golden mes, pairs of wings that glimmered with incandescent light shining behind them while it rose dangerously from the sea below them. This¡­was a Primordial Beast that had the single purpose of devouring Universes and Cosmos! The one before them shone with the unique essence of the Primordial Dao alone as it was a Lesser Primordial Beast, this title reserved for any Beasts that were born withplete assimtion in either Ruination or the Primordial Daos! When the Lesser Primordial Beasts devoured enough Universes or a Cosmos, they would be able to be elevated to be Grand Primordial Beasts who had both the Primordial and Ruination Daos. These were the existences that Noah was targeting! Even at this moment, his destiny rose and fell in waves as he hid the excitement in his eyes, wondering if the scene he was ying out in his mind would actuallye to be a reality. It was the scene of him being the one tond thest hit on a Primordial Beast as the perks of the Supreme Necromancer System would be activated¡­and he might just be able to get himself a terrifyingbatant that would catapult his power to truly rival even the Dao Warmongers and possibly surpass them with ease! Chapter 275 - Lesser Primordial Rift! III "ROAAR!" The bellow of the fearsome draconic creature that had mes erupting all around its body in an apocalyptic manner echoed out, causing one to be terrified of its ferocity but also enamored by the beauty from the animalistic features of a Phoenix present on this creature! "I will withstand its attacks, you all wear down its defenses on the side! This one is proficient in the Primordial Dao¡­so all your attacks should be stemming from Ruination!" The vibrant voice of Ebony Wolf resounded out. The leader of the Ebony Horde had a valiant air around her as while Noah and the others moved ording to her directions, her body lit up with cascading lights filled with power as under the Primordial Bone Armor, one could see snaking Runic Dao Lines lighting up on her skin! These were the deconstructions and reconstructions of ones ownprehended Daos in the form of ancient Dao Lines that wrapped around one''s body, making this golden haired Chief before Noah''s eyes look ancient as a huge broadsword made of Primordial Bones appeared within her hands. It pulsed with scintiting lights as her essence surged into it and she went head first towards the churning Primordial Sea below- towards the first Boss that guarded the Lesser Primordial Rift they had entered! Noah knew that they would face 3 consecutive bosses before the Lesser Primordial Rift was cleared, this being what the people of the Ebony Horde Tribe had to do routine to make sure that the Rift didn''t be an established gateway to allow Primordial Beasts to move through. Noah had no problem with this number as while moving in conjunction with the valiant looking Ebony Wolf, his 4 Warlord Antiquities and the body he upied moved to test their own strength against this terrifying Beast. Under his Subjugation, the Warlord Antiquities were enhanced in their power as even though they had an average of over a hundred forged Universes- they clearly outssed the other Antiquities in the surroundings as their Primordial Bone weapons released waves of crimson light filled with Ruination towards the vibrant wings and scales of the roaring beast! BOOM! Like hitting a metal wall. This was the image that popped up in one''s mind when the attacks of the Antiquitiesnded, but the attack of the Dao Warmonger? "YAAA!" A resounding cry was relegated as the figure of Ebony World tore across the skies towards the sea. The Primordial Beast''s roar directed towards her direction as an instantter, its jaws produced crackles of intense light as something many existences feared shot forth. Dragon''s Breath! BZZZT! Like a torrent of endless white mes, the essence of the Primordial Dao raged within it as it promised to tear apart any Antiquities standing in its way. But the Dao Warmonger fearlessly encased her body in Ruination Essence as she charged through the torrent of mes, the Runic Dao Lines beneath her skin lighting up with ayer of protection as she was akin to a crimson sh crossing the torrent of mes, arriving before the Primordial Beast regardless as the Primordial Bone Broadsword smashed into the opened draconic jaws and drew golden blood! "ROAR!" Shining white teeth filled with golden blood were knocked out from the Primordial Beast, it''s body bing ensheathed in white mes of rage as all sorts of unique skills bloomed around it to push back against its enemy. Like a fish in the sea, the Ebony Wolf dodged and parried as her body continued to shine with Runic Dao Lines, the attacks of Noah and the other Antiquities that were filled with Ruination Essence raining down during these times as she was given some breathing room while continuing to wear down the defenses of this terrifying Beast. This was how their battles against Primordial Beasts were fought! A Dao Warmonger dealing the main damage and keeping its attention as the tank, and the Warlord Antiquities reducing its defenses and making it use more of its mana reserves with their attacks as over time¡­the Beast would have to fall. Noah watched the scenes of the battle with a sharp gaze as he analyzed the moves of the Lesser Primordial Beast and the Ebony Wolf herself, seeing the extent of their strength and how it wouldpare if he released his and other abilities from the Telekic Emperor and Ancient Terror Skill Trees. He calcted that with his terribly enhanced mind and soul along with the abilities at his disposal and the Sword of Shattered Reality¡­he might actually be able to withstand them and if exhausted, even defeat them! He solidified this belief further as minutes passed and the battle continued, Ebony Wolf continuing to grind down the defenses of the Primordial Beast as even the Warlord Antiquities could now also damage its scales. But Noah truly believed in himself and the tools avable to him as his power should have been on the cusp of Dao Warmongers just based on versatility alone. And as time passed, he could soon begin to repair the Sword of Shattered Reality as he would start to get his hand of Loot such as Primordial Hearts! This was a Primordial Relic that stemmed from the Main Reality, such a thing having deep history as the strength Noah could obtain from it was boundless if he yed his cards right. Being capable of traversing through Realities was just one of the features of this nearly destroyed Primordial Relic at less than 5%...so what would happen if he brought this percentage up even here?! It was a thought that caused his heart to expectantly watch the continuously ground down Primordial Beast as after over an hour¡­ "Roar¡­" It roared out weakly while gazing at the glimmering Primordial Bone Broadsword that shone with an incandescent light of Ruination that smashed into its head. Destroy its consciousness as the beast slumped down to the raging white seas that were stained with blood. BZZZT! The golden blood and essence of the Beast trembled madly at this point, Ebony Wolf watching with a sharp gaze as from its body, a multicolored heart the size of a World bloomed. THUMP! A pulsing, radiating heart that screamed itself to be a treasure- such a thing rose from the body of the first Primordial Beast of this Rift- two more left for them to defeat before they could clear the whole Rift! Ebony Wolf waves her hands and took away the Primordial Heart, her Ebony Sword cutting off the glimmering muscle and bones of the Primordial Beast as she grabbed chunks to chew on in a shocking fashion while voicing out. "Take the meat and bones and recover, we will siege the second Beast soon!" Her gaze looked below them towards the raging sea that had a glimmering runic circle deep into it, this being the gateway to the other remaining bosses they had to face. Noah also looked in this direction as his thoughts churned with many ns, going forward to obtain the meat and bones of the Primordial Beast himself as his eyes shed sharply with a solidified n based on the information he collected! It was a n on the third andst Primordial Beasts they would have to face before they cleared this Rift. When both the Primordial Beast and the powerful Dao Warmonger before him were on theirst straits of their battle¡­he would make his move then to see if he can secure the unique existence that was a Primordial Beast as an Undead Vassals! Chapter 276 - Lesser Primordial Rift! IV As Noah moved toplete a Lesser Primordial Rift in the Second Reality, his movements had bore fruit in the Third Reality where he was moving with the body of Ezekiel. He had led the forces of the Undead Legions to wander across the expansive Ruination Sea, his reach spread out in an unimaginable level as within a single day, he was able to locate another Cosmos! He stood outside of its boundaries as his mental waves bore down into it, sensing beings in the range of Antiquities and below to be within this Cosmos as with this affirmation, he moved in to conquer. The way of Conquest of the body of Ezekiel that he controlled was extremely dominant as Noah teleported across the boundary if the Cosmos to appear within a Universe inside it, his eyes shing with a blue light as soon after, countless auras of Undead Vassals and Chimeric Undead Lords shooting out powerful waves at the level of Antiquities shone behind him! "Corruption of the Usurper¡­." BZZZT! His mana drained out crazily as he spread out debuffs across multiple Universes, the terrifying Undead Legion around him filled with forever changed and enhanced bodies of a myriad of races moving with hismand as they spread out to add more to their ranks. It was pure Conquest and domination as Noah was bound to put this Cosmos under his influence and increase the number of Antiquities under him as well as his collection of Marks of Antiquity, elevating the rate he rose in strength as all new powerhouses he had with him could cultivate on his behalf and make him even stronger! All their mana reserves- they were now his to dip into! All their memories and abilities¡­ This whole Third Reality that he now controlled the Champion of was bound to be a tremendous boon for Noah as all the stretched out Cosmos within it were up for grabs¡­his only clear enemies at this moment being the Primordial Beasts and whatever force apart from the Champion has been standing against them this whole time! "Right or wrong¡­it is not the time for that." He stood behind the expanding Undead Legions as he felt the auras of Antiquities within this Cosmos rise up, not looking at the morality of what he was doing as at this point, he had gone way past it. He would target the strongest to Subjugate and turn into Undead, he wouldn''t touch the weakest or cause wanton destruction. It was a clear line drawn that one might say held no distinction either way, but this was how Noah thought of it! He could not stop. There was only the search for knowledge and power¡­only the path for Conquest and domination! "Go forth and conquer. Conquer and add more brothers to your ranks until an Undead Legion capable of subjugating a Reality is forged!" His essence poured out madly as the Chimeric Undead Lords responded back to him with mad calls, a unique method of Conquest continuing in this Reality. ¡ª Back in the Second Reality, within one of the many Lesser Primordial Rifts located throughout the Archaic Tribal Lands that was aary body the size of a Cosmos. BOOM! The glow of Resplendent abilities erupted out from the third Lesser Primordial Beast that the Dao Warmonger faced head on, and one could see the strain and exhaustion on her face even though they had rested between thest two Primordial Beasts they faced! The Antiquities she brought with her continued their support as their Origins were dried up even more than hers, but they still moved with all they had as if the Ebony Wolf that faced the Primordial Beast head on fell, then the rest of them would fall. "Burn a Universe and release onest burst of attacks!" Ebony Wolf''s golden hair glimmered a multitude of colors briefly as hermand echoed out, her own Origin lighting up with the burning of a Splendiferous Universe to call out even more destructive power as the Antiquities behind her did the same! "OOOOH!" Valiant cries and glow of skills bone from Cosmis Daos bloomed, 4 Warlord Antiquities under a certain existence having encircled everyone silently in different positions as the body that Noah upied, it''s Origin burned multiple Universes as a surge of terrifying power erupted from him! ''It is time¡­'' His eyes proudly showed the glint of cerulean blue as he breathed out while preparing himself, his gaze on both the powerful Primordial Beast and the Dao Warmonger unleashing her strongest attacks against him as this time¡­was when Noah chose to strike. He nned to be quick and efficient as the moment he saw waves of power leak from the Dao Warmonger and release towards the majestic Primordial Beast on itsst legs, his Origin ushered in manymands. "Corruption of the Usurper." "Malignant Madness¡­Ancient Eye of Terror¡­Tome of Heresy¡­The Emperor''s Universe!" RUMBLE! Multiple heavy skills were cast as just after the first two, all the mana within Noah''s Origin was drained as for all theter skills, Mana was borrowed from his many Subjugated Antiquities! They all came out to descend upon the unsuspecting party of Primordial Beast and his attackers, Noah finishing things off spectacrly as the 4 Antiquities he had position in four different directions all released terrifying sma beams filled with the essence of Ruination to smash onto the Primordial Beast. His own mental waves surged out to oppress over everything as after conducting this single action within the span of less than a second as the surroundings became utterly chaotic¡­ BZZZT! Noah began to feel an immense Devouring of mana from his Origin as he smiled brightly. He borrowed from tens of Antiquities as he let this mana freely leave his body, all of going towards the chaotic area that a certain Dao Warmonger shot out of with a furious expression! "You¡­!" She stared at Noah and the other 4 Antiquities under him with a wrathful gaze as her golden hair moved wildly. "Trying to usurp power and take the rewards of the Primordial Beast¡­was that really your n?!" Multiple Universes burned brightly within her Origin as even though her mana reserves were drained, she could still draw upon this source of power as she seemed ready to give out judgment! Noah epted her wrathful gaze as he smiled lightly, replied with a light nod while looking behind her. "Yes. And I would say it went rather well¡­" OOOOOM! The gazes of the Dao Warmonger and all other Antiquities changed as they turned around to where a dead Primordial Beast should be¡­but they instead saw a cluster of raging white and ck mes as an Undead creature with pristine elegance rose up menacingly. It was something unreal and unimaginable- it was the birth of an Undead Primordial Beast within this fantastical Reality! Chapter 277 - A Primordial Beast As An Underling! A primordial beast for an undead Vassal! It was a terrifying thought and something that did not normally ur in the myriad of Realities. Yet here was Noah somehow binding a creature whose sole purpose was destruction and the devouring of Cosmos under him! Noah felt the boons of this action the moment that it urred as within his origin, a new type of essence bloomed. Within his origin that contained the crimson essence of ruination and many other Dao essences, there was now a dominant and powerful new dao that rose to supersede all of the ones Noah had! This was the Primordial Dao. The essence that this beast hadprehended and assimted- the Cosmic Primordial Dao! The fact that it bothprehended and assimted the Primordial Dao was now also applicable to Noah as he could get theprehensions and the assimtions of thews and daos of existence as he had under him. This meant that as he obtained a Primordial Beast as a servant, he also obtained a fully assimted Cosmic Dao! The result such an action brought was astounding as a blinding white essence surged maddeningly in his origin drowning out everything else. It shone with a luster of power and authority- and it truly was an authority as after the assimtion of this Dao, Noah saw another Authority appear in his status panel. {Authority of the Assimtor of the Cosmic Primordial Dao}: An authority that only appears around those who have fullyprehended and assimted the Cosmic Primordial Dao. It grants +100,000% Increased Primordial Damage, +100,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +100,000% Cast and Attack speed, makes the user capable of disying quintuple the power in the Primordial Sea and the capability to turn into pure Primordial Essence, and opens up the pathway to the reconstruction of all Daos. Half of the Authority that Dao Warmongers had! The Authority of the Primordial Dao granted huge boosts on top of allowing one to reconstruct Daos. For one to do this, they had to obtain the authority of the Dao of Ruination that allowed one to deconstruct Daos. Noah''s blue eyes shed a brilliant white momentarily as he took all of this new information in and then gazed at the figure of the Dao Warmonger in the skies of the shaky white sea- at the figure of Ebony Wolf! This woman as a Warmonger¡­had both Ruination and the Primordial Daos assimted. He¡­had to obtain her as a Subjugation! This powerful woman looked at him with shock as her attention was quickly brought back to the rising undead Primordial Beast behind her- the aura that this creature had being multiple times what it was before as if it was not just on itsst legs. Its wings that were always beautifully white with primordial essence, we''re now tainted with a unique ck energy that she knew nothing about. Its scales and draconic body now shone in white and ck and there were countless runic markings being seen weaving around its body as its eyes were like abyssal pits that one could never escape out of. ROAAR! The beast bellowed out grandly! This was the first Undead Primordial Beast under Noah, and its uniqueness showed itself when Noah looked at it from the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System. :: An existence with a rare chance of being born, with a nearly unkible body that has great resistances against All Laws and Daos. As an existence born from Reality itself with the purpose of destruction and a unique pathway to take to achieve it, this creature retains the ability to climb to the rank of the Cosmic Realm and be an Ender of Reality that holds sway over all Primordial Beasts in the current Reality. [Fusions]...[Stats]... Such information was freely visible to him as his mind buzzed with possibilities, his eyes locking onto the shocked figure of Ebony Wolf and the other Warlord Antiquities as he did not give any of them time to react or understand what was happening. "Dominate them¡­!" He gave themand to this beast to beat the Warlord Antiquities and Ebony Wolf ck and blue right before his eyes until they were ready to submit! He would not just gain a primordial beast out of this fight today, but also the allegiance and subjugation of a being that had bothprehended and assimted the Dao of Ruination and the Primordial Dao. With her under him, it would mean that he would also gain the authority to deconstruct Daos by gaining the fully assimted Dao of Ruination as he would be able to enter the ranks of Dao Warmongers! His realm was still in the Universal Fment, but his title within this realm would rise a notch higher the moment his actions werepleted. BOOM! The Undead Primordial Beast Lord erupted with a show of untold power, ck and white mes releasing from it as they covered the skies and the white seas below them. Ebony wolf was already worn out from the initial battles with the three Primordial Beasts. Having to face another one at this moment that was stronger than ever was not something that she could afford to do! Even though she burned the universes within her origin. Even though she achieved a momentary source of power¡­it was still not enough. WAA! The white and ck mes that the Undead Primordial Beast Lord released wrapped around everything as it eviscerated all defenses, where even the figure of Ebony Wolf was knocked down into the white sea with blood leaking from multiple areas on her body! It was getting harder and harder for her to fight back at this moment as there was nopetition. Even the Warlord Antiquities did not even have room to fight back as without Ebony Wolf protecting them, the white and ck mes of primordial essence wrapped around them and nearly destroyed their cores, their bodies being sent toward Noah as his eyes shed with the brilliant blue light of domination- putting these beings under him as well! Within moments, only the powerful Dao Warmonger that had Runic Dao Lines swirling crazily around her body remained. All Antiquities had their essence now aimed towards her on top of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord¡­so how could this being possibly defend or get out of this? With his body floating down to stand on top of the Primordial Beast, Noah''s eyes released a sh of blue as he voiced out grandly. "Finish it." WAA! Chapter 278 - Dao Warmonger! I In thest floor of the Lesser Primordial Rift, Noah and his Subjugated Warlords nced at a single Dao Warmonger that was floating on the surface of the raging white seas while ncing up weakly at them. Every now and then, a Universe would be burned inside her origin as she tried to muster up any feeling of strength to resist, but it was nigh useless as everyone in her surroundings had be her enemy! "Finish it." He called out coldly as it was not any of the over 15 Warlord Antiquities that moved, but the Undead Primordial Beast Lord alone as its ck and white scaled draconic head rose up while roaring out slowly. "Primordial Lightning." BZZZT! The clear skies shed white. The figure of the Dao Warmonger became entirely grim as she looked over to the figure of Noah standing above the Primordial Beast and all the Warlords that had turned against her. She couldn''t wrap her mind around it, and she would never be able to until her nature was forcefully changed! The exquisite Runic Dao Lines on her skin swirled as they took in the power from her burned Universes, her golden hair rising and falling with the white sea below her as in the skies, lightning akin to the rage of an ancient being rained down towards her. BOOOM! A single point of impact¡­And everything was silent. Noah flew down towards the raging white seas below them as he located the body of the Dao Warmonger with crimson blood freely flowing, the primordial bone armor on her body being thrashed and destroyed as her golden hair rose and fell in waves and she could barely open her eyes! It was at this time that a cerulean light was released from Noah as it called out lightly. "Subjugate" The cast of a skill. The acquisition of the Dao Warmonger! His pervasive mental waves entered the body and mind of the beat up Dao Warmonger as she could not erect any defenses, the blue light within his eyes being reflected on hers within seconds! His origin began to feel the changes of this an instantter as within the body of this existence were the fully assimted Ruination and the Primordial Dao. He had already acquired thetter as at this moment, he acquired the full assimtion of Ruination as well. Both the Dao that destroyed and covered the expansive seas between Cosmos, and the Dao that was at the core of all Cosmos themselves¡­he now contained all of them within his body as brand new authorities bloomed before his eyes! He had already gained the authority of the Assimtor of the Primordial Dao minutes ago, and now he gained the equivalent of Ruination as a fantastical text box appeared before his eyes. {Authority of the Assimtor of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination}: An authority that only appears around those who have fullyprehended and assimted the Cosmic Dao of Ruination. It grants +100,000% Increased Ruination Damage,+100,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +100,000% Cast and Attack speed, makes the user capable of disying quintuple the power in the Ruination Sea, grants the user the capability to warp across set points across the Ruination Sea and turn into pure Ruination Essence, and opens up the pathway to the deconstruction of all Daos. The ability to deconstruct and reconstruct Daos had now fallen under Noah''s hands as he unlocked a new pathway of power within the Universal Fment Realm that delved onto the side of Daos, and this was shown clearly as yet another text box rose before his eyes! A magnificent path of power rose up before his eyes. Turn his fully assimted Daos into Runic Dao Lines as thereafter¡­he would brand them onto his body and soul as he gained a 100 fold enhancement of their current boosts! If this possibility was applied to the authority of Ruination that he just received that added +100,000% Increased Ruination Damage,+100,000% Health and Mana Regeneration,? and +100,000% Cast and Attack speed, it would mean that he would multiply these boosts by 100 as they would each be 10,000,000% to their respective boosts! But of course, this was something impossible as from all the Daos that Dao Warmongers had, Ruination and the Primordial Daos were those they could never deconstruct in all their lives as they were always needed to do the actual act of forming the Dao Lines of Daos. "All in due time¡­I shall see whichpleted Daos I can brand to myself first!" Noah''s eyes shone with power as he returned gloriously atop the head of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord, his vast consciousness already measuring the upsides and downsides of turning Daos into Runic Dao Lines as he also recalled the concept of Edicts he hade across. The concept of fusing one''sws and Daos into terrifying concepts known as Edicts¡­if one went ahead and turned all of their Daos into Dao Lines as they lost theirprehension and assimtion in exchange for the 100 fold increase in boosts, they would not be able to fuse any daos as they couldn''t step on the path of fusing Laws and Daos into Edicts! So Noah would move carefully at this point in time, and his eyes wandered to yet another prompt that had appeared long ago as it brought a smile to his face. [The Lesser Primordial Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] The first Rift after the reconstruction of his Idle Gaming System was a stupendous Universal Fment Rank rift¡­being something that would grant him cores at this level as this wasn''t the most important thing. The most important were the Primordial Hearts from this Rift as with those treasures¡­he could both forge Splendiferous Universes and also go towards repairing the Primordial Relic he held! Chapter 279 - Dao Warmonger! II When Noah looked at the Idle Gaming System Interface, he saw that it took 6 hours for them to sessfully clear the Lesser Primordial Rift, and this was the amount of time he had to wait before he could collect loot from it for the first time! But this was all being ced on the side for this moment as Noah delved through the vibrant memories of Ebony Wolf and her long years of History- as well as the history of the Archaic Tribal Lands and the powerhouses he could expect throughout them. Her long years of history first told him about her experiences as she became a Dao Warmonger somewhere as chaotic as the Archaic Tribal Lands. Then, there were the Primordial Hearts she had obtained in this Rift run as well as the reserves of treasures she had with her this entire time! "Come." Noah beckoned for her as she rose from the raging white seats stained by blood,ing to float before him as her golden hair fell to her shoulders when she bowed towards him. "Master." Even with her bone armor shattered, the unique Runic Dao Lines on her skin shone with majesty and power as she seemed like a distinguished existence, Noah''s focus first being on this concept of Dao Lines that he wanted to carefully enter himself. He looked at the uniqueness they held while confirming the process that Ebony Wolf had gone through to design them, and he had nothing holding him back from deconstructing and reconstructing a Dao himself as he went forward to pick the Lesser Dao of Earthme that were among the dozens he had obtained from the Subjugated Antiquities under him so far! He selected this dao that allowed one to release heavy mes that weighed more than an entire world for the first test- this being a Dao he had rarely used as its pure attack power alone couldn''tpare to attacks that used his mental energy. But simr to Ruination and the Primordial Dao, with it being fully assimted- Noah had its authority. {Authority of the Assimtor of the Lesser Dao of Earthme}: An authority that only appears around those who have fullyprehended and assimted the Lesser Dao of Earthme. It grants +10,000% Increased Earthme Damage, the ability to conjure the heavy yet light Earthmes around one''s body, and being capable of fully changing their body and origin into a pure elemental Earthme form¡­ It didn''t have crazy boosts simr to Primordial or the Dao of Ruination, but it had its own little perks as Noah looked at these and what would change when he changed this Dao into a Runic Dao Line. OOOOM! In thest floor of the Primordial Rift, Noah''s body began to be surrounded by a multicolored light as a Splendiferous Universe deep in his Origin began to burn, the essence of this Universe being drawn in by the Dao of Ruination as it uniquely went forward to wrap around and deconstruct the Lesser Dao of Earthme! Theprehensions and assimtions Noah had of this Dao were broken down into particles and lines Noah didn''t understand, and he then watched as an instantter, the Primordial Dao Essence came out to reconstruct these broken particles and lines into a singr glistening line that pulsed with the color bronze- a line that seemed to be shooting out towards the white sea below and the skies above endlessly. This¡­was a Dao Line! WAA! The glimmering bronze line shot towards him as it went on to wrap around his right hand, swirling madly with power as it formed into an ancient looking tattoo that covered him up to his elbow! It shone with profound power and majesty as when Noah actively sank his mana into it, it began to pulse in an increasingly bronze light as his figure took to the skies and punched out. ROAR! His right hand roared out with power as even though he didn''t have theprehensions or the assimtions of the Dao of Earthme anymore, just pouring mana into the Runic Dao Line of Earthme had caused him to release a barrage of earthmes that were 100 times as terrifying as normal! They seemed to wield a form of power that could burn Antiquities to cinder, a power that would even be capable of breaking apart the defenses of Primordial Beasts whenever Noah faced them again! "Exceeding sma Beam or the offensive abilities of the Ancient Terror¡­" Noah''s mind ran many simtions as he considered the power of the Runic Dao Line of Earthme wrapping around his hands, looking into his Status Panel to see what the 100 fold increase in boosts truly meant. [Runic Dao Lines Integration :: Earthme(+1,000,000% Increased Earthme Damage...)] From its 10,000% initial boost to Damage¡­it was now 1,000,000%! Higher than even the base boosts of the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination as this¡­this was the power that Dao Warmongers could wield when they began to deconstruct and reconstruct their Daos into Dao Lines. It made Noah want to burn more Splendiferous Universes and deconstruct all of his Lesser Daos for crazy boosts of power, especially on the Daos that didn''t just Increase a percentage of Damage. There were Daos that increased Speed, Health, or even Mana percentages as if he could get these types of boosts to 1 million percent¡­ WAA! His eyes released bursts of blue lightning at the mere thought of it as for now¡­he still held himself back. He could deconstruct his Daos into Dao Lines at any time, but it was something permanent. He could not reverse it! He had to also consider the path of forging Edicts that required one to fuse their Daos and Laws together, and if he permanently lost his assimtions in a Dao by deconstructing it¡­he would reduce his capability to fuse them! So he would be patient. He would n. And eventually¡­ "Even this Archaic Tribal Land and its champion will fall under my grasp¡­!" ¡­! Chapter 280 - How To Train Your Primordial Beast I "Even this Archaic Tribal Land and its champion will fall under my grasp¡­!" ¡­! Noah spoke domineeringly as apart from the gains of thepletely assimted Ruination from the Dao Warmonger floating while looking towards him with respect at this time, he also found out more about the structure of power within the vast Archaic Tribal Lands. A Dao Warmonger like her upied and looked over a region as vast as over 100,000 miles of the Ebony Horde Tribe, and she was stationed here to routinely clear the Lesser Primordial Rift and keep watch to make sure that it never formed into a gateway! There were many Dao Warmongers just like her stretched out across the Archaic Tribal Lands overseeing Rifts like these, some influencing evenrger regions as even in the ranks of Dao Warmongers- there was arge gap in power as some had only branded some lesser Daos into their bodies as Dao Lines, while others had lived for much longer and branded Lesser, Grand, and even Cosmic Daos into their origin and soul as the power they could wield was utterly wild. Dao Warmongers like thus were stretched don''t across the Archaic Tribal Lands as above them, the Dao Sentinels who had begun putting together Daos and Laws to step on the path of Edicts were few and far in between. And at the center of this Archaic Tribal Lands¡­there was the Great Chieftain himself that presided over a glorious Ancient Tribe protecting against a Grand Primordial Rift that was threatening to elevate to a Cosmic One! Now, Noah had to move and spread his influence across all of these beings while still keeping his mind on the Archaic Beasts that roamed over half of these Lands with power as terrifying as the humans, with them even known to have been living here far longer than everyone else. "Slowly¡­" Noah craned his neck as he smiled lightly while patting the Undead Primordial Beast Lord below his feet. Thus terrifying Beast that now shone with a beautiful white and ck had its scales shimmering with power as it even nudged its head towards Noah yfully, Noah sending amand as the huge Beast instantly disappeared into the Cosmic Dimension of Death at this moment. Then, he gazed at the raging white seas around them as after entering the Lesser Primordial Rift for over a fourth of the day, he gave themand for all the Antiquities and the newly Subjugated Dao Warmonger to move out! SHAA! Their figures sank into the blue pulsing Runic magic circle at the bottom of the white sea as they all appeared beside the huge rift portal in the outside world, acting per their usual self as if Noah''s influence wasn''t even there! With the leader of the Ebony Horde Tribe under him, Noah nned to silently Subjugate the rest of the Hegemonies and Warlord Antiquities in theing day- his ridiculously strong consciousness moving to control the Subjugated Ebony Wolf for this as he¡­he had to test just how terrifying the Undead he had gotten his hands on was. It was the boon that was a Lesser Primordial Beast, as well as its unique path to power that was very differentpared to others! He didn''t call out the Undead Primordial Beast Lord in the Ebony Horde Tribe, and he didn''t even do it within the Cosmos of this Reality! He had the body of the Champion Ezekiel himself that he upied in the Third Reality to call out the Undead Primordial Beast Lord as he finished his Conquest of an entire Cosmos with Legions of Undead. At the same time within the Ebony Horde Tribe of the Second Reality, Noah delved at the very center of it into the region that was considered the abode of the Tribe Leader, stepping into a huge castle looking structure made out of the bones of Archaic Beasts as he followed the figure of Ebony Wolf into a stand alone throne room that was currently closed off to all others. Noah walked into this room as he naturally sat on the only bone throne at the center of it, the golden haired Dao Warmonger that used to sit upon this throne standing by his side with reverence as Noah waved his hands and caused for a spatial light to undte before his eyes! This light was him calling forth a Subjugated Blessed, but this blessed was used as a conduit as he was actually used to bring¡­the figures of 3 gorgeous women that looked around the new area they were in curiously. Noah gazed at the curious Annalise, Rose, and Love as he spoke out with a light smile from the bone throne. "Wee to the Archaic Tribal Lands¡­I have already taken the initial steps as these vastnds and the Cosmos around them wait for us to take the reigns of!" ¡­! He spoke grandly as his little sister heard his words and rolled her eyes, but Rose and Love looked towards him with eyes shing sharply as they nodded, ready to do whatever they could to explore newnds and get stronger! ¡ª Within the Third Reality. Ezekiel floated in the Ruination Sea outside the boundary of the Cosmos that his Legions had already taken care of the strongestbatants. Now, it only contained Antiquities and Hegemonies that were added to his ranks of Undead Vassals as in the next second¡­a burst of dark light erupted from his body as he called out another existence from the Cosmic Dimension of Death. ROAR! Coming out bellowing, the figure of the white and ck scaled Undead Primordial Beast Lord that had currently reduced itself down to the size of a World appeared! It looked towards Ezekiel with the same obedient gaze it had shown towards Noah in the Second Reality because the souls of the two were dominated by a singr being and were one and the same! Blue arcs of light left Noah''s eyes as he stared at this creature and patted its terrifying scaly jaw, ncing at the Boundary of a Cosmos right before his eyes. Lesser Primordial Beasts grew their power and could rise to be Grand Primordial Beasts, and even further on eventually be Cosmic Primordial Beasts that were capable enough of devouring all the Cosmos within a Reality- these endgame bosses being termed Enders of Reality! Now that Noah had gotten his hands on a Lesser Primordial Beast, the question remained on just how he would raise it. There were countless living life forms within a Cosmos, could he coldly turn his gaze away and allow his Undead Primordial Beast Lord to devour its Universes and have the blood of so many beings on his hands? It might have been a tough question for others, but Noah''s eyes shed sharply as he gave amand to his Undead Legion still spread out within the dozens of Universes of this Cosmos. "Start the mass teleportation of all intelligent life forms into my home Cosmos¡­" WAA! Hismand reverberated out as within the Cosmos, his Undead Legion answered! He didn''t have to turn into a cold-blooded killer...he could simply use other means to achieve what he wanted! Chapter 281 - How To Train Your Primordial Beast II Amand to mass teleport all intelligent Lifeforms from an entire Cosmos into another! It should have been an arduous task for many just from the sheer practicality of it, but Noah was currently on another stage entirely as he had his Undead Vassals constantly cast mass teleportation skills acrossrge regions of the Universes of this Cosmos with their target being the Cosmos Ezekiel stemmed from. As for the mana required to do all this? Noah could easily provide it as he essed the reserves of the ever increasing number of Warlord Antiquities and now, a Dao Warmonger. He only waited a few minutes before the deadly efficiency of the Undead Legion cleared out an entire Universe, their target moving to the other Universes as Noah stood atop the Undead Primordial Beast Lord while staring at the empty Universe at the Boundary of this Cosmos. THUMP! He could feel his heart beating at an ever increasing frequency as he gave themand to the beast below him. "Do it." ROAR! With a mad roar, a regal echo resounded don''t from the Undead Primordial Beast Lord as he called out gutturally! "." BZZZT! Esurient True Devouring. A ridiculous and deadly skill unique to the Primordial Beasts, and it was the skill they utilized to devour Universes and Cosmos as from it¡­they could obtain their source of power that elevated them from a Lesser Primordial Beast to a Grand one and eventually¡­a Cosmic Primordial Beast. The details of the skill glittered past Noah''s eyes when he used the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System to gaze at this Beast. :: An ability that allows its user to fully devour the essence of genuine Universes and Cosmos born within a Reality, these special objects being turned into numerical Units of energy called the Essence of Reality. With the Essence of Reality, many impossible things be possible. One of the many uses of the Essence of Reality includes the seamless fusion ofws and daos once a sufficient price is paid. The ability is restricted to Primordial Beasts as utilization of it by others will heavily reduce its effect and rewards. Restricted to Primordial Beasts as when used by others, it''s effects were heavily reduced! But its effects¡­were undeniable and strong as it was also the reason that Primordial Beasts at the Grand and Cosmic Levels were so terrifying- they could fuse their Daos and Laws into Edicts from the utilization of the obtained Essence of Reality¡­ Noah held on to the body of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord as he watched its draconic jaws open wide, a unique white and ck light swirling like an endless void of a ck hole at the center of its jaws as when this space began to rotate¡­the boundaries of the Cosmos and the empty Universe they were currently staring at began to shatter into pieces and flow towards the jaws of the Beast as if they were pieces of a puzzle being broken apart! THRUM! The process was fantastical and apocalyptic at the same time as on a micro-level, trillions of stars within Gxies were being shattered into pieces and devoured as on a macroscale, the circr Universe of this Cosmos that had dozens of such Universes was actually slowly disappearing into the endless and voracious ck hole like jaws of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord. When this was happening, Noah observed the changes within the body of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord as he saw that while it devoured a Universe, bursts of minuscule but profound essence that seemed entirely too heavy to flow began to bloom. This¡­was the Essence of Reality that Primordial Beasts naturally absorbed from devoured Universes and Cosmos! The Essence of Reality that could also be utilized to forge Systems! ''Finally¡­'' Noah''s eyes released arcs of light as with this, he had obtained a source of the Essence of Reality that he could use to fully empower the Primordial Epitaphs that made his two Systems¡­and he could even experiment to see if he could continue to actively make changes to these Systems for them to be whatever he wished. It was a glorious possibility only brought about by the Undead Primordial Beast Lord! OOOM! Noah watched on with a calm gaze as an entire Universe was wiped away right before his eyes, the huge body of the beast shining wondrously as it leaked an even more fearsome aura. The jaws of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord reluctantly closed as Noah onlymanded it to devour this single Universe. It looked up towards him with pleading eyes while nudging its huge jaws towards the rest of the Universes, Noah patting itsrge head with a smile as his own body began to release waves of terrifying power. There was a feature from the Supreme Necromancer System that he also hand under his Subjugations that one must not forget! It was the ability for Noah to also be capable of obtaining concepts like Daos and Edicts¡­and also the skills and abilities of his Undead Vassals under him. So with a steady gaze and bursts of mana, he called out lightly. "Esurient True Devouring." RUMBLE! His eyes shed brightly. His own jaws opened as a force more terrifying that a ck hole or Quasar erupted from his mouth- directed towards the second evacuated Universe as towards Noah''s cast of the shocking ability that the Primordial Beast used¡­the Universal Boundary and cluster of this Universe began to flow towards his mouth like scintiting pieces of fantastical light! A Universe. He was actually devouring a Universe at this very moment! It was such a fantastical and ridiculous thought that even when he first transmigrated and someone told him he would eventually be devouring entire Universes¡­he would have brushed them off as liars. But truly¡­here he was. His eyes released arcs of glorious blue light as he stood atop an Undead Primordial Beast Lord, his mouth devouring bundles of a Universe as if it was the most normal thing in the world! Chapter 282 - A Marvel! I A fantastical scene of Noah''s body in the Third Reality devouring an actual Universe yed out grandly, his Origin feeling an eruption of a unique power as within it¡­the Essence of Reality bloomed! It shone with multiple colors as it was heavier and more pristine than any other essence, and Noah felt the simrities between the Essence of Reality he transferred from the runic construct of the Supreme Necromancer System for the reactivation of the Idle Gaming System. Now, he was slowly gaining another source of it as the possibilities for it were endless¡­ As particles of the Universe flowed into him, the process of the conversion was slow as imperceptible wisps of Essence of Reality were budding, Noah enjoying the reality of his devouring an entire Universe as his Undead Legion moved to teleport all other intelligent life forms for him and the Undead Primordial Beast Lord to continue their elevation in strength! ¡ª ''What a ridiculous concept¡­'' Such a thought crossed Noah''s mind in the Second Reality as his soul simultaneously felt the changes his other body was going through, and he even licked his lips unconsciously as he could almost associate the taste of devouring a Universe into a desert he couldn''t put his finger on. But he shook his head at such a thought as he didn''t have to match what a Universe tested simr to now, as he was currently spreading out his forces in the Archaic Tribal Lands with him descending on another ancient Tribe at this moment- a tribe known as the Tiger Tribe. A few hundred thousand miles from the territory of the Ebony Horde Tribe, another Dao Warmonger ruled this area that was slightly bigger as it held yet another Lesser Primordial Rift that Noah wanted to add to Idle Mode since the rewards of the first one were so stupendous! The reward spurred him to add another rift as part of the renovation of the Idle Gaming System, his eyes could see blinking gold words in the corner of the Interface that read beautifully. [Idle Loot] :: +1,000,000 Idle Exp every 6 hours, +3 Lesser Primordial Hearts every 6 hours, +50 Units of Primordial Beast Blood every 6 hours, +50 Units of Primordial Beast Bones every 6 hours Itid out all the loot he would be receiving in a timely manner, with him being capable of obtaining 3 Primordial Hearts in such a short period of time as with them, he could forge hundreds of Splendiferous Universes and fully allow Annalise and Rose to grow their power in the stage of Antiquities! When he thought of this, he turned beside him to watch the figures of these women and Love marveling at the new ancient Tribe they were approaching, with Noah being in the lead as he followed behind the golden haired Ebony Wolf that was under his control. The n was the same as always! Enter the domain of another powerhouse silently, cast [Mind Realm] and [Absolute Mental Istion Field] as thereafter¡­he would just have another Dao Warmonger that controlled this tribe under him! Ever so slowly, his reach would continue to spread across the Archaic Tribal Lands until he went deeper into the Ancient Tribes where the Champion of this Reality could be found. But¡­destiny weaved as it wished as things would not always go the way that one expects! ¡ª Within the Tiger Tribe, a fantastical culture could be seen as stout existences walked along the streets trading goods and food or training, where from young to old and from men to women, everyone was built with gorgeously sculpted muscles as they moved with purpose. An existence was watching the scenes of this vast tribe with a smile, her Origin letting off a powerful light at the Universal Fment Realm as it showed her to be a Warlord Antiquity! Her ck hair was tied neatly to a bun as she wore a simple bone armor and held on to a spear, her body being small as she didn''t seem any only than 18- but her bountiful blessings were tightly held by the bone armor she wore. She was watching the scenes of the many billions of beings moving across the Tiger Tribe when suddenly, her dark eyes shed with a sharp light as she gazed towards a certain direction in the skies where she felt the auras of multiple existences heading towards this location. "Oh?" Her eyes sparkled with interest as she watched this procession of beings fly above the edges of the tribe and delve deep, with their party very quickly being met by the Chieftain of the Tiger Tribe that looked towards the golden haired woman that led the forces here with a questioning gaze! ''Let''s see¡­that should be the Ebony Wolf from the Ebony Horde Tribe I was going into next, why is she¡­?'' The eyes of the being watching the scenes ying were filled with interest as she wondered of the purpose of another Chieftain bringing such a huge party to another Tribe, her eyes alsonding on the dark haired man with shining blue eyes and those around him. "Oh?" Her eyes sparkled with interest towards this being as she felt something none of the others gave her, but before she could think about anything else¡­ BOOOM! A heavy and oppressive pressure erupted out from the blue eyes young man she was looking at as along with it, two unique spatial boundaries spread out to wrap around the entire Tiger Tribe! It was a shocking action that caused the hearts and Origin of many to quiver fearfully, with the next scenes ying out being the body of the golden haired Ebony Wolf bursting with power as her skin shone with the archaic tattoos of Dao Lines, striking out a surprise attack against the chieftain of the Tiger Tribe and the Antiquities surrounding him. A shocking scene and development as it caused fear to sprout even in the hearts of Warlord Antiquities¡­but not in the heart of the small dark haired woman that had watched the foreign party fly in before anyone else and observed their attack. "Now this is certainly interesting¡­" Her face actually lit up as she spoke out, her left eye brightening up as it turned from ck to gold, the iris changing to form a golden flower that brimmed with power and might! The eye now released an austere sense of awe and might as this being who showed her power to be merely at the Warlord Antiquity level gazed at the battle that had broken out, her activated eye being able to see and understand so much more than even those involved in the thick of the battle! Chapter 283 - A Marvel! II Across the Myriad of Realities, there were too many existences to count, and an even greater number of psyches of beings that one could never understand. From normal existences to existences like Primordials, each one had their own personalities and intricacies as no two beings were fully the same! This was the concept that applied to a certain existence that was watching a sudden unfolding battle in the Tiger Tribe. An existence of high stature that did not belong in this tribe- nor belong in the Archaic Tribal Lands and the Cosmos surrounding it! Such a being watched the unfolding battle with great interest as her glistening left eye whose iris undted with intense light from a golden flower saw many things. ''Strings¡­ except for a few, they''re all connected by strings to that single being¡­'' Her eyes shed sharply as she saw that apart from the three women closest to him, the blue-eyed existence was connected to all the other beings he came with as he seemed to be controlling them in a unique sense! What was even more profound was that under his heavy mental pressure and unfolding abilities of the Dao Warmonger he brought with him, the Antiquities that fell were pulled towards his direction with a terrifying mental force even at the level of Dao Warmongers as this being poured his essence into the Origins of his fallen enemies and formed other lines of connection with them. Up until this point, the watching being had only thought that it was an interesting scene as she entirely focused on the blue-eyed human, such an action being the cause of the great shock to unfold thereafter. She watched as when the battle between Ebony Wolf and Tiger Chieftain seemed to be dragging on and the mental pressure released to subdue all other Antiquities was scattered, this being''s body shed with a unique ck light as an instantter, the terrifying air of multiple? Undead Chimeric creatures releasing waves of power that would put to shame all Antiquities arose around him to besiege all remaining enemies! ¡­! This action in itself was fine, but the small watching woman was shocked as since she was watching closely with her unique eye, she was able to see the sh of something she was very familiar with appear briefly on the Origin of this being when he called out the battalion of Undead Antiquities. It was the brief appearance of a Primordial Epitaph- the construct inscribed into the origins and souls of Champions of Realities to grant them Systems that were uniquely restricted to their own Realities! The watching woman knew such Primordial Epitaphs very well as she..had etched something simr to the Champion of this current reality where she was currently covertly moving through thends of! As a Primordial herself, she was very familiar with such Primordial Epitaphs and only unique beings like her even had the authority to etch them into chosen Champions of the Emerging Realities they managed. ''So what the hell are you and what are you doing here?'' Her eyes shed with an increasing light of interest as first, there should not have been any other existences in this Reality with a Primordial Epitaph and a System as going even further¡­whatever System this being had should only be usable in his Reality! So how exactly was he doing this? This was the question buzzing in the mind of this being as she very much wanted to know. ''I never thought I would find another marvel while moving in hiding¡­haha, my destiny is as vibrant as ever!'' The thought process of this Primordial was unique as instead of turning wrathful and wiping out this being right away, she wanted to know more about him and exactly how he did what he did! So as he expertly cleared the battlefield after he cast an istion field that allowed none of the battle to be seen by others, the hiding Primordial watched his entire process as secondster, her figure also flew towards the skies fearlessly as her power at the ''Warlord Antiquity'' level emanated out. "YAA!" A below erupted from her as the blue-eyed young man gazed towards her direction coldly, his powerful mental waves bing focused on her as his right hand swirled with a newly inscribed Runic Dao Line that caused mes to burst off and smash into her figure! BOOM! With her figure ''heavily injured'', mental waves forcefully pulled on her body as she was brought right before the young man''s eyes, a cerulean light shing brightly as even though the process seemed fast- it was like a snail''s pace for the Primordial! She gazed at the features of this being and the three women around him that weren''t those his consciousness influenced, seeing the blue arcs of light emanating from his body and entering hers being unique mental waves that held the authority of domination. ''So you dominate the wills of others and impose yours onto them¡­then, why don''t you have a billionth of my soul so I can know much more about you?'' Her eyes hiddenly shed with a light of ingenuity as while she watched the blue arcs of dominating essence enter theyers of her defenses only by hermands, and she directed them towards a minuscule portion of her Origin that she allowed to be influenced by this dominating light! THRUM! Waves of silent destiny echoed out strongly as barely a billionth of a Primordial''s soul¡­was allowed to be influenced by a lesser being due to the entricities of the Primordial in question. ''Oh?'' In her slowed down time, she received feedback from the minuscule portion of the influenced soul as it told her information about her ''Master''! ''Noah Eckert¡­with decent mental strength as all those you influence will look at you as their highest priority and never be capable of breaking free of your reigns¡­haha, how curious!'' Her thoughts moved in rapid speed as she could have had a month''s worth of conversation just as the one known as Noah was sending his dominating essence forward, and the moment passed by in a sh as thereafter, she listened to themands the billionth of her soul was receiving and moved as this beingmanded. She found it entirely too fun as it made theid back exploration of blending in with the locals of the Realities she looked over into something exciting, her foremost thought being to find out exactly how a being could use the System of another Reality into one that she managed! For this, she nned to put on a show and observe this interesting human¡­just until she got bored. After that, she would just expel his dominance from her barely billionth of a portion of her soul as thereafter¡­well, she would see! ¡ª- ''Fuck!'' On another side, Noah cursed out as his consciousness rumbled in fervor and shock, multiple messages being sent into his Origin as his destiny also churned madly! This was because he saw more blooming of Dao Essences as he gained multiple Daos than when what all the Subjugated beings had given him so far- and he was obtaining all of them after subjugating the will of a single being! His destiny sent no warnings. His warning bells never rang! [Gained assimtion in the Cosmic Dao of Servitude¡­Gained assimtion in the Cosmic Dao of Lunacy¡­.Cosmic Dao of the Trickster¡­Cosmic Dao of¡­] Multiple Cosmic and Grand Dao Essences were gained by him in a terrifying manner as he found his gaze locked onto a small girl that seemed no older than 18, her ck hair tied neatly to a bun as she had a light smile on her face when she stared towards him! She bowed her head lightly as she spoke with a light tone unlike any other Subjugation. "Hello, Master." ¡­! A dangerous and unpredictable reality dawned itself as an entric being identally located Noah and proceeded to tag along with him in a dangerous game! Chapter 284 - A Dangerous Game! An immense feeling of danger based on whatever action he took. This was Noah''s current situation! He had been conducting his normal operations of closing off a space and subjugating its powerhouses as he would delve into the Lesser Primordial Rift within this Tribal Land after, but this time around it entirely did not go as nned. When Subjugating one of thest Warlord Antiquities, Noah was about to turn and finish the battle against the chief of the Tiger Tribe when he found himselfing to a stop as bundles of information erupted from the ''soul'' He had subjugated! The first thing we''re the dozens of Grand and Cosmic Daos added to his list, but even more terrifying were the memories that told him just what being had appeared before his eyes, and it also granted him an exnation for what was going on. A Primordial! The existence before him was a terrifying Primordial in every sense as she held terrifying power, the memories Noah was obtaining rting only to the Realities she managed as there was one reason why what was currently happening had urred! It was all due to this existence''s entricities. She was a Primordial that loved to move covertly around the Realities she managed as she experienced the lives of lower existences and the Lands her Champions managed. Even though she was millions of years old, she had never left this habit as her naturally curious and powerful mind did many things other Primordials would never allow themselves to do. Letting a portion of her soul be dominated by another beings will? Just who would do that?! ''What portion even did my consciousness wrap around on? A millionth? A billionth?'' Noah''s thoughts buzzed as this time around, his destiny and fortune had been entirely silent as he wasn''t warned of anything. It could be because this being had not thrown killing intent his way yet or other factors he didn''t know, but he felt an immense feeling of danger now based on how he reacted to her! If he tried to attack her or do anything malicious with the portion of soul he dominated¡­his destiny turned entirely ck as it foretold of death. If he tried to wrap spatial essence around Annalise and the others as he himself teleported away¡­there was also the mark of death! The only path¡­was him ying along as if he had truly Subjugated any other Warlord Antiquity as the moment he gave up this ruse and ruined her ''game'', death was waiting! But this path that guaranteed his life and the lives of the three women closest to him¡­it didn''t just show his destiny turning ck, but it showed it brightening up and beginning to expand as on this path¡­therey opportunities for him to possibly benefit. When ying a dangerous game with a powerful Primordial that could wipe him out before he even activated his essence to run- there were actually possibilities that came with it! WAA His rapidly beating heart calmed as he tried to control his raging emotions as much as possible and act normal, looking towards the ck haired Primordial as he nodded while voicing out. "Clean up the Battlefield.'' ¡­! Sending amand towards a Primordial! Was she really that entric as she would follow? The answer was¡­ "Yes, master!" Her face lit up as this being saw her game being yed, Noah still feeling a sense of immense danger if he ever tried to teleport away even when she wasn''t right before him. He had truly be ensnared in a unique situation as he had to make sure that the entric Primordial was not quickly bored¡­otherwise the life of this body would very quickly perish as there were also Annalise, Rose, and Love to worry about! His mind worked rapidly as he tried tomunicate with his destiny on just how he could turn this danger into an opportunity, the battle in the skiesing to a close as the Dao Warmonger that led this Tiger Tribe was brought before him by Ebony Wolf and the Chimeric Undead Lords he had called out. ''Wait¡­the Chimeric Undead Lords!'' His eyes shed with understanding as to how this situation coulde about, where this Primordial might have seen through his utilization of the Supreme Necromancer System as instead of her doing anything drastic about it, she took an entirely different route! "..." His thoughts continued to rise and fall as he breathed out slowly, his eyes shing their cerulean blue light to subjugate the second Dao Warmonger as he felt yet another burst of increase in strength and the addition of a few new Daos. Even Annalise and the others didn''t sense changes within him as Love was the one toe beside him and speak out. "Let''s go see those Primordial Beasts you''ve faced¡­I''m curious about their power!" Her words were filled with battle intent as even after achieving a high level of power, this woman still wanted to gain more as she never wanted to fall back in a position where men could ever think of being able to take advantage of her. "Mmm¡­" Noah nodded lightly as the battlefield in the skies was cleared up, their gazes turning towards the far glowing Rift portal in the distance as while other Subjugated beings moved to go back to their positions, the figure of the hidden Primordial came to float beside Noah as she looked towards Annalise, Love, and Rose with a mischievous smile. "Master, the big sisters you have around you are so pretty¡­is it okay if I also stick around you?" Her words seemed normal on every turn, but Noah''s origin once again trembled as if he chose a path of denying this Primordial what she wanted¡­his destiny would be dyed entirely ck! So instead¡­ "Yes. Let''s go explore the second Primordial Rift for now!" He replied in an impassive tone as Annalise and the others looked towards him and the girl inquisitively, with Noah sending them a simple mentalmunication to exin while not freaking them out too much! He would first send them away to safety without anything happening- then he would deal with the Primordial that had inadvertently attached herself to him. A Primordial that from the little memories Noah obtained from whatever portion of her soul she allowed him to influence, he knew that she wasn''t in the Universal Fment Realm like he was or even in the Cosmic Realm that came after that! She was a terrifyingly powerful Primordial known as Eropa Cyllene! With her ck hair tied neatly to a bun and a bone armor and spear wielded by her, she shed a smile as she was the one to go towards the Lesser Primordial Rift at the center of the Tiger Tribe first, Noah and the others inadvertently following behind as a unique situation unfolded. Chapter 285 - The Primordial Europa! I In the Third Reality, Noah had a grim expression as he watched the Undead Primordial Beast Lord finish devouring thest Universe of this evacuated Cosmos. After all, how could he not be grim when he has managed toe across a Primordial hidden amongst weak beings?! Even though there were many things to celebrate, he couldn''t fully do it as he had made great achievements and strides with the devouring of an entire Cosmos. For himself personally, he had obtained more Essence of Reality that he flooded into the Runic construct etchings deep within his soul, strengthening the features of the two Systems he had gradually back to their peak levels as from the Idle Gaming System- he could not ess the expansive Dimensional Store that held an overabundance of ridiculous treasures of all types. From the Supreme Necromancer System, the time ratio in the Cosmic Dimension of Death gad returned to 10,000:1 as the Antiquities he left to train their Daos and Laws there could now make progress even faster! This was how he always continued to make great progress daily- with him letting his Subjugations work on his behalf as the passage of a single day outside was equivalent to 10,000 inside the Cosmic Dimension of Death. How could the Subjugations not make great progress?! It was what made his unique ''Idle'' Life possible as he was training harder and faster than everyone else and he made the progress to show it too! Apart from this, there was also the rising strength of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord that came after the devouring of an entire Cosmos, this existence roaring out madly before Noah as the waves of power it released was enough to make anymon Dao Warmonger that had just begun deconstructing Daos turn speechless. There were all of these things¡­but he could not enjoy them due to the risen situation in the Second Reality that involved a Primordial! The fact that Noah didn''t feel a sense of danger as long as he yed along with her game was a relief, but these types of entric beings that found time to y games were the most terrifying as their mental state could shift in a sh. At any point now, she could decide the game was boring as she just waved her hands and Noah would be destroyed. But even at this juncture, his Destiny was roiling and toiling where after it sent him no warnings about this Primordial- it was now screaming of a fantastic opportunity present in this situation amidst its danger. ''What opportunity? Talk to this being on good terms? Get powerful Loot from her? Befriend her? Are any of these even possible with Primordials?!'' His thoughts churned as when he looked at the empty spot where a Cosmos used to be, his cerulean eyes releasing powerful arcs of light. The only thing left in this space was the chaotic Ruination Sea filling up the nk space, along with the billions of Undead within his Legions that were moving tirelessly to teleport all the intelligent Life Forms away. His gaze turned frosty as he waved his hands towards these Legion floating in a terrifying fashion in the Ruination Sea and even the Undead Primordial Beast Lord below him! "Return." OOOM! Their bodies became covered by a dark light as they disappeared, being returned into the Cosmic Dimension of Death as Noah followed to utilize the unique time ratio of this space to n and think. Just what woulde out of this evolving situation with the Primordial, and did Noah understand her nature enough with the minuscule portion of a soul she had allowed him to dominate? These unanswered questions and more continued to swirl in his mind as in the Second Reality¡­the situation continued to unfold. BOOOM! Noah was seemingly venting his anger as with a grim expression, his right arm swirled with the Runic Dao Lines of Earthme as he threw down punch after punch towards the Primordial Beast they were currently facing. There were already inside the second Lesser Primordial Rift as apart from him, the newly Subjugated chief of the Tiger Tribe known as the Great Tiger now along with Ebony Wolf were both moving in conjunction with Noah as they tanked the Primordial Beast, the summoned Chimeric Undead Lords as the level of Warlord Antiquities besieging it on all sides as the figures of Annalise, Rose, and Love were watching from behind as they received the experience of it all! In front of them, Noah had given the order for the ''Subjugated'' Antiquity known as Europa Cyllene to guard these three, her power actually exceeding everyone here as she could destroy anything in the surroundings with a snap of her fingers. Noah understood her nature enough to be confident that she wouldn''t hurt Annalise and the others, so he focused on tearing down the Lesser Primordial Beast with his Undead as he would give her a grand show soon enough and see how she would react! "Wow, Master is so powerful¡­how did you all get to meet him?" "..." The Primordial Europa wasn''t even acting like any of Noah''s normal Subjugated as she spoke freely while standing in front of the three women, Annalise''s eyes shing as she came forward to stand beside this powerful being fearlessly while replying. "I''m his Sister, the two behind me are close friends. He is powerful¡­but still not powerful enough to protect us all from unruly beings so he is working to expand his influence and do what he is currently doing in the Archaic Tribal Lands!" "Oh?" The eyes of Europa were raised as she seemed to sense the hidden message in Annalise''s words that were exining her brother''s actions of Subjugating the powerful beings he came across. Her bright eyes watched everything closely as Noah could feel them in the back of his head, and his eyes became firm as after confirming with his destiny multiple more times- he was ready to carry out the show that even his destiny told him would vastly increase his prospects with this being and all of them surviving unharmed! With the little he understood about this beings nature, there was the vast and boundless curiosity that even made her hide herself into the beings of her Realities for millions of years. She did what she did with Noah because of this psyche, and Noah knew what raised her interest the most must have been when he called out his Chimeric Undead Lords during the battle before! So¡­what would happen with her curiosity and interest when she saw the unique existence of a Primordial Beast be defeated as thereafter, it rose to be an Undead Primordial Beast Lord under Noah''s banner? Noah''s destiny seemed to say the action would be significant enough that unlike whatmon sense said it would actually guarantee the lives of Annalise and the others while heavily reducing his own chance of death! ''Let''s go!'' With bright eyes, his body released multiple terrifying Eyes of Terror as his entire hand became bathed with Earthmes, shooting down towards the distraught Primordial Beast to add a second one under him while also causing a fantastical scene to y out! Chapter 286 - The Primordial Europa! II Europa watched the ending battle with clear sparkling eyes as she continued to marvel at this existence before her. An existence with a System that worked in another Reality! It indicates too many possibilities as the more likely scenario was them having traveled from another Reality, but the being before her was too weak for that! She wanted to continue ying this game, but she also just wanted to rip everything apart and ask her questions straightforwardly. ''Ah¡­but that''s not too much fun!'' She had such a thought as she was stuck between a rock and a hard ce! She wanted to enjoy her game of hiding as always, but the mystery had too many implications as she wanted to know everything right away! After all, the mystery surrounding this Noah Eckert was astounding as the concept of a System being utilized outside of its Reality was too shocking, and it was something that even Elder Primordials would have an interest in understanding. The unique reality-altering effects of Systems granted to a Champion were unique to their Reality as they wouldn''t lose effects when outside of it, to the point that anything viting this was a point of interest. ''What shall I do¡­'' She had an annoyed expression as when she watched Eckert throw down a punch swirling with Earthmes and bursts of sma, he tore through thestyers of defenses of the Lesser Primordial Beast as it fell! BOOOM! Its huge body fell from the skies and sank into the white churning sea below them, Europa nodding her head at this power the being disyed as before she could do anything, her eyes opened wide in surprise. The Lesser Primordial Beast that had just fallen to the seas¡­its body began to be wrapped with a dark light as from Eckert''s Origin, she noticed the shining hidden Primordial Epitaph that she had seen before brighten up greatly as apart from this, her left Primordial Eye was also able to see a distinct and barely discernible sh of light that she nearly rubbed her eyes to see if she was dreaming! But there, hidden where even other Primordials would not be able to see unless they were closely looking¡­she believed she saw the sh of another Primordial Epitaph! ''That''s impossible!'' Her small eyes nearly bulged out as her body began to unconsciously float towards Noah, all her attention being dragged onto him at this moment as she didn''t notice that behind her, Annalise and the others were wrapped by a silvery spatial light meant to teleport them away. Europa''s attention was entirely taken in by what she was seeing as after the gs she thought she imagined faded, she was exposed to the fantastical scene of a dead Primordial Beast¡­beginning to rise again as she could sense the clear and profound reality-altering effects of a System! A Primordial Beast¡­.with its existence and nature changed into an Undead! ''Who the hell had forged such an irresponsible System? Did they intend for one to be capable of even subduing the wills of Primordial Beasts?! But even that aside¡­that sh of Epitaphs¡­'' Her eyes were likenterns of profound light as due to the shock and discovery of this new phenomenon, she woke out of her stupor to find the blue-eyed figure of Noah patting the now Undead Primordial Beast Lord below him as his figure came to sit atop it like a king, the other Subjugated Antiquities and two Dao Warmongers going to stand in neat lines behind him as among them, Annalise, Rose, and Love were gone! "Hmm? Ah¡­" Europa finally noticed this as her gaze turned frosty, a unique scene being created on the first floor of the Lesser Primordial Rift as above the raging white Primordial Sea below them, multiple beings floated above its skies on one side staring at a single girl. Noah sat atop the second Undead Primordial Beast Lord he had under him as he voiced out. "I''m sorry¡­.I had to ensure their safety first as there are too many things I don''t know, even with the whispering of Destiny." His voice was calm as even though he was taking the action of facing a Primordial that could wipe him out instantly, he was without an ounce of fear as he stroked the scales of the deadly beast below him! The three women he cared about didn''t have their souls stretched out across Realities like him. If they perished, they perished! But this current body of his? It was just one that his soul had spread to as he wouldn''t truly die if anything happened. With this, he was bold enough to confront the entric Primordial before him as this being looked towards him with her face still shining either abundant interest! "You forcefully ended our little game¡­" Her eyes carried a trace of anger as she spoke, Noah''s Origin vibrating as he nodded and replied. "And I apologize for it. But isn''t this much better? We can talk freely now." His eyes gazed towards the woman that was far too young for the authority she carried, where she seemed the same age as him as her demeanor made her seem even more so. WAP! Her eyes smiled dangerously as she disappeared, Noah''s heart skipping a beat as he found her to have inadvertently appeared behind him with her fair white handsing to tap on his head, her voiceing out in a curious fashion! "Just¡­what are you?" She spoke calmly as a dangerous smile appeared around her lips, Noah''s heart remaining calm even as his Origin was shaking. "Just someone wandering around the Cosmos. I didn''t think I would catch the attention of any Esteemed beings such as you." His words were calm as they made Europaugh, her small hands wrapping around Noah''s neck as it seemed she could rip it off at any moment if she wished! "No¡­let us not y games. I want to know why my Primordial Eye has caught the scent of not one¡­but two Primordial Epitaphs on you!" WAA! "And before you answer¡­let me just tell you that all I have is my curiosity. As long as you satiate it, I have no qualms letting you walk around to do whatever you wish! After all, you are not the only one that likes to walk around covertly exploring the Cosmos¡­" In a smooth motion, the dazzling Primordial came to float in front of Noah as her body began to release an awe-inspiring power- a type of power that could even easily snuff out the Champion of this current Reality if it wished to do so! Chapter 287 - The Primordial Europa! III Noah''s heart was calm as he looked at the Primordial Europa. He didn''t have much to lose at this point as he looked at her closely and tried to discern exactly how destiny could weave around this danger and turn it into an opportunity! Was it along the lines of siding with a Primordial? Existences that he had proimed his enemies after his ''handler'' killed him? The being before his eyes seemed so different that even after her terrifying gaze discerned his two Primordial Epitaphs, she didn''t show the righteous indignation that the Primordial who designed the Idle Gaming System showed before he killed Noah for viting some form of rule set by the Primordials! As he thought of this, he allowed his raging seas of destiny to settle as he tested the waters in a bold and straightforward way. "I am just someone that was lucky enough to traverse from my old Reality into this one." WAA! He probed the waters slowly as he saw Europa nodding her head with shining eyes as she motioned for him to continue! He sat on the head of the now docile Undead Primordial Beast Lord as his eyes shed sharply when seeing the reaction of Europa after his words that should have made any Primordial react in a certain way. "Do you not care about the fact that I traversed Realities? I thought this was something only Primordials were permitted to do!" He sought more information as the vibrant figure of Europa waved her small hands towards him with her eyes seemingly tinged with annoyance. "Those old fogeyse up with their own rules just to ensure they make the most profit and eliminate any possibilities for anomalies to rise. If you''re capable enough to traverse Realities without the Eye of Ruination and the Primordial Eye, good on you!" ¡­! His Origin undted with light as he received new information, his heart set aze when he heard about the Primordial Eye and the Eye of Ruination! But Europa continued on as her expression bordered on annoyance and excitement. "So? You are a Champion from another Reality that came here? How? It still doesn''t exin your anomaly of Epitaphs that work outside of the Reality they were constructed in!" She seemed eager to get to the root of who he was as she asked, Noah''s keeping his heart calm as he chose his words very carefully. He would not mention anything about the old Primordial Relic he had obtained or any information too close to him, but he would see just what path this Europa would lead to as he spoke calmly. "Through the Legacy I obtained from another existence who had unique abilities with their own restrictions that allow one to cross Realities." He briefly mentioned the legacy of the Usurper as Europa nodded, her eye bing tinged with a light of disappointment as she nced at Noah. "So you''re simply a Champion who deserted his job of defending his Reality after he obtained a set of skills to move across boundaries of Reality?" RUMBLE! Her rapidly changing mood caused the very surroundings to tremble as Noah spoke quickly. "Not deserted, the same Primordial that granted me a System was the one to kill me after finding out I had the abilities to traverse Dimensional Realities¡­and I was simply lucky enough to survive as I want to repay that favor!" ¡­! The disappointment faded from her eyes as she smiled in a dazzling fashion. "Repay the favor? You want to aim your de towards a Primordial? Haha!" Herugh was like bells constantly ringing to douse one awake, with her eyes hiding many thoughts as she gazed at Noah. "Lucky enough to survive against a Primordial as you then make them your enemy¡­you''re far too weak for that! I don''t know who designed your System, but they''re most likely at the Cosmic Fment Realm to be managing an Emerging Reality like me, and just that alone is enough to squash any Lower Existence." Noah''s eyes shone with pulses of blue light as he collected more and more information, finding out that this being before him was at the Cosmic Fment Realm! While he had just achieved Universal Fment, this Primordial had gone past the arduous and impossible to reach Cosmic Realm as they now stood at the Cosmic Fment Realm- and this was the stage of power of the Primordial that had killed his main body! "Lower Existence?" His voice was filled with questions as it came out calmly. "Yes. Beings like you or the countless ones stretched out across the Cosmos within Emerging Realities. Beings that had not yet formed mes of Edicts within their bodies to stimte Bloodlines and obtain the True Blood of Higher Existences." ¡­! "This is actually the distinction between who can traverse Realities or not- those old fogeys have it set that only those who are pure of blood and have be Higher Existences can take this step as they can handle the responsibility of Realities¡­hah!" She seemed to find her own words amusing as she talked, Noah continuing to be bombarded with new information as Europa''s eyes honed in on him. "But for me toe across a fallen Champion outside of his Reality¡­one whose System still works even at this moment in time in another Reality- I''m truly curious how it all came to be!" Her words caused Noah to raise his head even amidst his chaotic thoughts as he asked lightly. "A System only ever works within a single Reality?" "The Systems of Champions, yes. For you to do what you''re doing now¡­.mmmm¡­" Europa had no answer, and neither did Noah as he thought back to how his Idle Gaming System had been destroyed entirely and he just put it back together before reactivating it with the Essence of Reality from the runic construct or the ''Primordial Epitaph'' of the Supreme Necromancer System! He could use both Systems easily in both Realities as it never appeared to him that it wasn''t something that shouldn''t be done, and even now after this realization¡­he could still utilize the features of the Systems seamlessly! It brought to light many questions he had no answers to as he went back to gazing at the vibrant figure of the Primordial Europa. Just what results would there be at the end of this encounter? Chapter 288 - The Primordial Europa! IV Cosmic Fment Realm, Lower and Higher Existences, mes of Edicts¡­Bloodlines to stimte the True Blood within one''s body! All of these scattered thoughts and kore swirled around Noah''s mind as the gaze of the Primordial Europa never left him for even a second. This woman''s interest was piqued due to the anomaly surrounding him and how he was able to disy the capabilities of Systems, where she had only seen him utilize one of them and just glimpsed the Primordial Epitaph of the Idle Gaming System. If she knew that he could use them both seamlessly in not just this Reality but even another¡­she would be even more surprised! Her clear ck hair and eyes that seemed capable of drawing everything in dazzled before his eyes as she smiled while she spoke. "What are you nning for the Archaic Tribal Lands? For your movements within this Reality that I manage?" Her eyes released an authoritative re as she asked, Noah''s destiny still swirling in waves as it uniquely told him there was still an opportunity among all of these dangers! He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he replied calmly, testing the waters of this Primordial even further. "I n to rise through the ranks of power while putting the powerhouses within this Cosmos and the whole cluster of Cosmos that the Champion of Reality has created¡­eventually putting the Champion himself under my feet for me to control!" RUMBLE! Such words were said out in the open as the Primordial who managed this Reality and the Champion she had given power to were targets of this being who freely mentioned this, and yet¡­she only smiled as she probed further. "And then? What about the Primordial Beasts within this Reality? It''s many Cosmos?" What would he do if he ever seeded in putting the Champion of this Reality under his feet? The answer to this was naturally simple! Noah''s eyes seemed to see an unwritten future that he gazed at from afar, the cerulean light within his eyes brightening to a dangerous degree as he spoke out as if he could see exactly what came out of his mouth. "All Cosmos will fall under my banner as the Primordial Beasts¡­they shall simply fall into the ranks of my army!" WAA! He stroked the head of the Undead Primordial Lord as he said this, his eyes already foreseeing ranks of Primordial Beasts within his Undead Legion as nothing would be able to stand on his path! "..." Quietness descended onto the surroundings as the waves of the small primordial sea within this floor of the Rift could be heard. Europa looked towards Noah calmly as her smiling eyes released a dangerous light, her figure releasing more and more of her awe-inspiring aura of power as her voice echoed out. "So you essentially will take over everything and then use your strength to protect it all¡­you sound much like a Champion if I''ve ever seen one- I don''t know how you fell out so badly with your past Primordial!" ¡­! How had he fallen out entirely! Of course, it was due to the stringent psyche of the Primordial that as soon as they found out about Noah''s ability to traverse Reality and the mystery behind it all¡­they could not remain still. Noah also could not allow him to know about the Sword of Shattered Reality which was something even Primordials sought¡­so he was where he was now. Europa shook her head as she continued. "So you want to spread out your influence across the Cosmos of this Reality, and gauging from how you can traverse Realities¡­you will likely be trying to spread your influence even further as along the way¡­" "I shall clip the wings of the Primordial that killed my main body." WAA! Noah finished her words as she smiled in a dazzling fashion that everything seemed to fade away! "Ah¡­what a marvel. What an anomaly! Can you imagine if an unknown Lower Existence who should have spent their whole life restricted to their Realities constantly battling Primordial Beasts¡­can you imagine what would happen if they kill a Primordial? What waves would be caused if they ever achieve the same level of power?" ¡­! Her gaze turned sharp as she locked onto Noah,ing closer andying her fair fingers on his neck as she continued. "I want to see if an anomaly like you can truly spread out his power across Realities like a Primordial¡­and if you reach their level of power, what you would do in Lands of Higher Existences! Whether you truly can cause a Primordial to fall under your hands and what effects this would all have¡­I want to see it!" "..." The Primordial Europa. With a unique psyche to the extent she didn''t care if she was told of a goal to kill another Primordial¡­she even wanted to know if Noah could do it. A mindset of wanting to see all the marvels across Realities and whates of them, especially something as unique as the anomaly that was Noah Eckert! "So¡­I will not be perishing here today?" Noah''s heart settled in confirmation as his eyes rose to meet the dangerous existence before him, her own eyes turning into crescents as she looked into his and spoke lightly. "No. In fact¡­I will be your audience to see just how you rise to do all this! You see, my job of managing Emerging Realities is boring as I''ve always been looking for something to sate my curiosity, and you¡­ah¡­" She looked at Noah as if she had found a toy to y with that she didn''t want to let go of. Noah looked at the Primordial as he had yet to be fully convinced whether the being before him would bring catastrophe or fortune¡­but he trusted on his destiny as he nodded while patting the head of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord below him, ready for him to descend to the second floor of the Rift to finish the second Beast as he continued to ponder on the existence before him. But her voice continued toe as it stated something that would entirely sidetrack his ns. "Of course to aplish all this in a fun manner, I won''t just be watching you move slowly and carefully¡­I want to watch a show!" ¡­! "When you get out of this Rift, I want you to head towards the cluster ofrge tribes where multiple Dao Warmongers reign. None of this secretly sneaking in and going one tribe after another¡­let us actually see a fulfilling and blood pumping battle where you struggle to make your dreams a reality!" Her eyes shone as she seemed to be making things up as she went, and she decided on this route to be the one to sate her boredom the most as she nodded to herself while speaking. "...If I do not move carefully, I will alert the Champion of this Reality early and face an enemy I cannot defeat yet." Noah''s face turned dark as she spoke, but the dark-haired girl in front of himughed mischievously as she waved her hands. "Don''t you worry about Ragnar! I will shield your movements in the ces I send you from him or anyone else. Let me just see the extent of your Systems and understand just why you can do what you do!" The name of the Champion was revealed as Europa folded her hands in aplishment while she gazed at Noah. His blue eyes released a burst of light as he could already sense theing headache and the changes in ns he had to make with the advent of this existence! Chapter 289 - Destruction Of A Primordial Rift! I The unique Primordial Europa wanted to observe just how far Noah could go- not caring if he took down Champions or Primordials along the way! Noah felt his destiny edge upwards ever so slightly as it finally decided on a direction after the meeting with this existence, his heart calm as his mind quickly moved to predict how this could change the future. "Just a watcher?" His eyes glimmered with light as aftering to a conclusion, he affirmed with this being onest time. Her dark eyes that were enough to make one lost in them turned upwards in a smile as she replied sonorously. "Just a watcher. If you manage to put the Champion under your heel, I will watch and see what changes that brings. If I see little Ragnar thrash you and kill you¡­I will also just watch!" Her goals were clear as since she posed no harm to him and had so far just been granting positives to Noah, he nodded as he got ready to resume his movements, but the vibrant voice of Europa rang out once more. "But you cannot tell anyone about me, otherwise even Elder Primordials can discern the weaving of destiny and step in to ruin my fun. This¡­I cannot y with, so there has to be an origin binding!" THRUM! Her small body shook as Noah felt a ridiculously powerful aura shoot out of her, purple mes appearing on her palm that looked nothing like any mes Noah had seen before! The mes felt like they could erase him and the Undead Primordial Beast Lord below him in less than a millisecond, but Europa caused it to brighten up as a minuscule section of it floated towards Noah. "A binding that prevents you from even mentioning my name to anyone. Take it! It should also actually help you in discerning Edicts since it is the mes of a GREATER Nomological Edict." ¡­! Her words were undeniable as Noah felt the mes sinking into his Origin, wrapping tightly around it and the soul of this body as he felt the contractual binding to never discuss the being before his eyes¡­or this body and soul would perish! His eyes shed with a burst of blue light as with this done, he watched as Europa smiled sweetly looking at him, and Noah could almost imagine the scene of a being sitting down and poking another with a stick as they motioned for them to do something. The Primordial before him was the one metaphorically poking Noah with a stick as she was ready to see just what an anomaly like him could do! He shook his head with a sigh as he adapted to this new situation, his eyes bing firm as he sent manymands out at this moment- his origin buzzing with power and mana as he called forth more Subjugated Blessed and Undead Lords from his legions! ROAR! Besides the Undead Primordial Beast Lord that he sat on, another one appeared beside it as it was the Beast that Noah''s identity as Ezekiel had been using in the Third Reality. On top of this, even more Chimeric Undead Antiquities that released horrid waves of power appeared, the ranks behind him bing filled with the auras of powerhouses as he gave themand for all of them to move. His attention continued to stay on Europa who was looking at all of this with dazzled eyes, her lips parting every now and then as Noah saw her left eye that should have been ck actually swirling with a sharp golden light while ncing at him. He gave themand for his forces to delve into the runic magic circle at the bottom of the small primordial sea to proceed to the next floor as he asked this being thest question that he was quizzical about. "How did you manage to see through everything? To even glean a Primordial Epitaph deep within my soul?" WAA! His forces disappeared into the white sea below to continue clearing the Rift as the Primordial turned her head to the side with a smile, waving her hands in a dismissing manner while ushering Noah forward. "Just my Primordial Eye, you can get one yourself in the future if you sacrifice one of your Bloodline Edicts¡­that is if you ever get to forge an Edict andplete it. Then even if I stared at you, I wouldn''t have seen what secrets you hid in your body!" ¡­! Noah''s eyes shone sharply as with a final nod, his own body also turned into a glimmer of light as he disappeared into the second floor of the Lesser Primordial Rift! Since the situation had developed like this, he would only continue and move on with it as he would see exactly what awaited for him on the other side. BOOOM! Within the second floor, the glow of resplendent skills overflowed as the horrific auras of two Undead Primordial Beast Lords were already besieging the Primordial Beast on this floor, the Subjugated Blessed being led by the two Dao Warmongers Noah had under him while the Undead Lords were under the lead of the two Undead Primordial Beasts! They each moved in synchrony as they were a deadly killing unit, the powerful enemy before them that took Ebony Wolf quite some time to take down already seeming worn out and tired even before Noah joined the battle. And when he did¡­ BZZZT! His mind that was his strongest tool buzzed out with power as his mental energy waves descended down, the aura of the Usurper bulldozing towards the Primordial Beast as Noah''s mes burned with power and yearning! ¡ª < > [123 Subjugated Antiquities have forged 245 Normal Universes in thest 24 hours. +245 Normal Universes have been added to your origin¡­] [123 Subjugated Antiquities haveprehended the Grand Daos of Lightbourne, Vigor¡­for 24 hours. These Daos have now been fullyprehended¡­] :: 963 Normal Universes, 242 Splendiferous Universes. Chapter 290 - Destruction Of A Primordial Rift! II The Lesser Primordial Beast that had seemed insurmountable when Noah first met it fell with ease when it was surrounded by two Undead Primordial Beast Lords and dozens of Chimeric Undead Lords releasing waves of power more terrifying than any Antiquity. Paired with Noah''s own strength of a Dao Warmonger that had branded a single Runic Dao, the Lesser Primordial Beast on the second floor fell to him just a minute after he joined as fantastically¡­ ROAAR! It also rose to join his ranks as an Undead. The scene was fascinating every time it urred as it just was not natural as it didn''t follow normal order! Hidden within the folds of space, the Primordial Europa was watching all of it as her Primordial Eye released waves of golden light to analyze everything she saw. "The very nature of the Primordial Beasts is changed as the Origins of the creatures still retain the route of power of Primordial Beasts¡­would he be able to raise one to be a Cosmic Primordial Beast?" ¡­! Among the ranks of Primordial Beasts, they went from Lesser to Grand to Cosmic as only a single Cosmic Primordial Beast could rise up and be an Ender of Reality that had sufficient power to devour all the Cosmos within a Reality and utterly destroy it. "But Enders of Reality are restricted to their own Realities until they either perish or they seed in destroying it¡­achieving their nirvana as they are wiped out of existence along with their reality! But the Undead Primordial Beasts under him¡­will they still be bound to this Reality? Or will he actually be able to do something viting the veryws of Reality?" WAA! The Primordial Europa asked such a terrifying question as she didn''t know that Noah had already vited this established rule of Reality! The first Primordial Beast he turned into an Undead¡­he had already been moving it from the two Realities he was moving across as he unconsciously broke restrictions ced on Primordial Beasts by Reality itself due to his own uniqueness. It wasn''t just the System he had that allowed this- but the answery on his soul. His soul that was divided between different bodies in multiple Realities and yet connected in an intricate manner was the crux behind many things, and the abilities and Systems he held caused everything else to be brought to fruition as even he didn''t fully know what he held! "Continue!" OOM! He gave themand as with three PRimordial Beast Lords in tow, he went towards the bottom of the chaotic primordial sea and through the runic circle glowing brightly underneath¡­into thest floor of this Lesser Primordial Beast. The arrogant golden eyes of thest boss within could be seen, its form looking like a mixture of a dragon and a phoenix as even when it saw the appearing enemies in droves, it roared out in pride and defiance as it moved forward against them. Noah admired the strong and unrelenting wills of this existence as his mental essence weaved out, starting thest battle that was even simpler than the previous two as their enemy fell within a minute from the beat down of three Undead Primordial Beast Lords and Noah himself! [The Lesser Primordial Rift is now avable in Idle Mode.] The second Lesser Primordial Rift fell into Noah''sp as he arrived ever closer to a dream of getting vast numbers of Primordial Hearts among other loot constantly, the clear time of this Rift being only an hourpared to the first one Noah cleared! And much of this hour was on the first boss and when Noah was talking to Europa, thest two bosses of this Rift only taking a minute or two each. But as he was lost in his thoughts¡­ THRUM! His surroundings began to vibrate in an unstable fashion as he felt a spatial light forcefully cover him and everything else within thest floor! ''Hmm?'' He recalled all of his Undead and subjugation as the spatial light took him and Europa away, their two figures appearing in the skies above the white rift they had entered as at this time¡­it was pulsing in an unstable fashion as terrifying cracks spread out across the clear white portal. "This¡­" The eyes of Europa shone with light as she saw the truth of what was happening, Noah only watching in shock and amazement as the rift portal in front of his eyes stretched out with even more cracks as within seconds¡­ BOOM! The rift portal shattered. "..." Noah''s mind buzzed as he wondered what he had done now! "The entire Rift Gateway is destroyed as soon as you¡­" The eyes of Europa released rays of sharp light as she turned to gaze towards Noah. "You actually fully destroyed a gateway for Primordial Beasts since you took the entire source of the Origins of the three within it¡­haha!" Herugh was sonorous as Noah heard it in passing, his eyes feeling a sense of loss as he had nned to clear this Rift once more and get a clear time of 3 minutes or less! Now, it was forever gone as with this loss, his gaze could only turn towards the first rift he cleared. Based on Europa''s words, that rift should still have 2 Primordial Beasts with their full Origin Source remaining within as he had only moved against Ebony Wolf on thest floor to obtain his first Undead Primordial Beast Lord, and this rift did not dissipate when he left as it should have two more bosses for him to clear and get a ridiculously fast clear time! ''Good¡­'' His thoughts moved fast as he looked at the Idle Gaming interface at the new loot he would be getting every hour, turning towards the dangerous Primordial beside him as he spoke calmly. "I need to fully destroy one more gateway in the previous tribe I passed through!" Europa''s dark eyes blinked in a mesmerizing fashion as she turned her head to the side and replied with a smile. "It seems like you didn''t turn all of the Primordial Beasts within that rift into your Undead? Hmm¡­you do what you need to- I won''t stop you! Just know that your next destination after that are the Helios Tribes Cluster!" The next set of ns were set as Noah didn''t wait, his figure shing away to reduce the clear time of a Universal Fment Rift that would grant him the highest tier loot! Chapter 291 - Overflowing Loot! I "Everything is okay." These words stemmed from a Subjugated Blessed with a Cosmos far away from the Archaic Tribal Lands that held a Champion and a Primordial within it, this blessed having been taken under the influence of Noah''s will as he spoke towards Annalise, Rose, and Love! The three of them were looking at him with worry since the appearance of the Primordial and the brief instance when he managed to teleport them away, and they now stood astounded after Noah told them how everything had yed out. "What is such an existence even thinking¡­" Love''s eyes shed with light as she spoke out thoughtfully, Rose shaking her head in displeasure on the side as she spoke up as well. "The first one Noah met killed with no reason, this one seems to treat everything as a game as she wants to just watch what you do and slowly learn of your secrets?" The girls'' Origins vibrated with immense battle spirit as Noah smiled lightly, calming down their worries as his soul within this Blessed released a golden glow of destiny. "There seems to be an opportunity lying within this¡­where even now I have my soul still dominating what seems to be barely a billionth of her origin and soul! But even this granted me dozens of Cosmic Daos as going even further, I am bound to not be capable of mentioning? the identity of this being? to others by the mes of an Edict, to the point where even though you guys have met before, I can''t speak much about this being to you right now." ¡­! Yes! Bound by an edict to not speak about Europa to others, and Noah saw the uniqueness of the mes of an Edict binding him as from Europa''s words, they should even help him towards his own fusion ofws and Daos into Edicts! "Just be careful¡­" Annalise looked towards him with worry as she looked around the Cosmos they were in. "We''ve traversed Reality itself to be where we are now, let''s make sure we happily stay with each other here and not lose anyone again." Her firm voice caused Noah and the others to nod as at this time, he waved his hands as from his inventory, he pulled out multiply pulsing Primordial Hearts that covered hundreds of miles of space in the ster space they were in! "Let''s get everyone in the stage of Antiquities in the meantime and increase the number of Universes you all have¡­" A powerup session began in this far location as back in the Archaic Tribal Lands, Noah re-entered the first Lesser Primordial Rift with a firm heart, measuring all the gains and losses he was making so far as he had already designated multiple Subjugated Antiquities and Chimeric Undead Lords to focus on the fusing ofws and daos- studying the binding mes of the Edict within his Soul to infer how to fusews and Daos into Nomological Edicts! At the same time, he called out his now 4 Undead Primordial Beast Lords to stand against the bosses within the first Rift, this battle being merely considered bullying as the Lesser Primordial Beast was not even able to withstand for a whole minute before he perished and joined Noah''s ranks. The count of Undead Primordial Beast Lords arrived at 5 as Noah faced one more within this Rift, his figure only standing on the backs of one of the Undead Primordial Lords as his mental essence waved out to suppress thest remaining Lesser Primordial Beast. It was a glorious image to see as the deadly Undead Primordial Beast Lords shone with ck, white, and gold colors as they looked like enough winged dragons with ming wings of phoenixes- each of them with their own variation as above them all- a single human being stood tomand them! OOM! A storm of the essence of Extinction and Ruination erupted from one of the Undead Beast Lords as itnded thest attack that sealed the fate of their enemy, the Supreme Necromancer System under Noah letting out its authority as yet another powerful beast joined Noah''s ranks as an undead. At the same time, the Idle Gaming System also shed as¡­ [The Clear Time has been updated to 1 minute and 30 seconds for this Lesser Primordial Rift] A wondrous message appeared before his eyes as the surrounding space began to shake unstably! Hidden within the folds of this space, the Primordial Europa watched on with shining eyes as she saw the shing of two Primordial Epitaphs, her head shaking in amazement at this confirmation as she truly didn''t know how to ssify the anomaly before her eyes! WAP! Both of their figures were knocked out of the rift as the Origin Source of all 3 Primordial Beasts within it were now under Noah, and the total count of Undead Primordial Beast Lords under him now reached a ster number of six! All of them stood behind him reverentially as after being kicked out of the Rift, they watched the destruction of its portal in silence. Noah had already begun to leave his footprint in the vast Archaic Tribal Lands as he watched a second gateway for Primordial Beasts to be destroyed under his hands. PA! PA! PA! pping could be heard behind him as Europa materialized with a dazzling smile, her curvaceous figureing to stand on one of the heads of the Undead Primordial Beast Lords as she spoke out. "Alright, let''s see how you fare within the Helion Tribes Cluster! There are over a dozen Dao Warmongers there as at the head, a Dao Sentinel who is close to fusing an Edict stands protecting against a Grand Primordial Rift!" She spoke with enthusiasm as she seemed to be more excited about the future than anybody else, her voice continuing to harp out! "Now now¡­will you have the same result in a Grand Primordial Rift? Can you even take it on right now with the force you have and no Edicts in ce when Grand Primordial Beasts might have Edicts? Hmmm¡­" Her ck hair shone in the light as Noah sighed while looking towards her, patting the Undead Primordial Beast Lord behind him as he asked with curiosity when he gazed into her left eye that seemed to constantly sh gold with a unique iris. "Your Primordial Eye, can you tell me more about it and the Eye of Ruination?" His words were sent in a probing fashion as while this Primordial learned more about him, he would put in all his effort to pry the secrets of power and many more things from her while this dangerous rtionshipsted! At the same time, his soul spread out across many bodies gazed into the Idle Gaming Interface as he saw the reduced clear time of the two Lesser Primordial Rifts he now had, and just how much loot he would be getting every few minutes! Chapter 292 - Overflowing Loot! II In the skies of the Archaic Tribal Lands, Noah sat on the head of a terrifying Undead Primordial Beast Lord as even more shockingly, a being with an even more fearsome identity was standing beside him with her arms stretched out wide as she emanated freedom and a smile that held no worries. After all, how could a being like her ever worry? Apart from being an existence at the rank of Cosmic Fment, she had the identity as a Primordial as the entire Reality she was in was her mere ying field! And now¡­she had found someone she considered exciting to watch as towards his probing question about Primordial Eyes and the Eye of Ruination, her exceedingly beautiful figure smiled brightly before she spoke. As she did this, Noah had 90% of his consciousness paying attention to her as they made their route towards the Helios Tribes Cluster that was their next destination, and the other 10% of his consciousness was looking at the Idle Gaming Interface that showed him a great deal of fantastical wonders! [Idle Loot] :: +100,000,000 Idle Exp every 2 minutes, +3 Lesser Primordial Hearts every 2 minutes, +50 Units of Primordial Beast Blood every 2 minutes, +50 Units of Primordial Beast Bones every 2 minutes After the updated clear time of the first Rift to be under 2 minutes, Noah began to see the perks of the Idle Gaming System after what seemed like a long time as in under every two minutes, he would obtain a Primordial Heart that could grant one hundreds of Splendiferous Universes! That was 2160 Primordial Hearts every single day, a number that when he took into ount a range of 500-1000 Splendiferous Universes one could forge depending on the type of Lesser Primordial Heart- it meant that just within a day, he would be able to obtain enough loot to form over a million Universes within his Origin. A million just from a single cleared Rift with an extremely shirt clear time! One must know that Noah had barely forged over 1000 Universes at this point in time so to be able to ridiculously jump over that after a single Rift Clear was just¡­ It showed off the fantastical effects of the Idle Gaming System as apart from the overflowing loot of Primordial Hearts every 2 minutes, there was also the Primordial Beast Blood and Bones. The former could be used as a tonic to heal and buff oneself while thetter could be used to forge weapons, and they would soon be filling up Noah''s inventory as he proceeded forward. The pace he did all of these things would also rapidly change as he added more Primordial Rifts under his banner, and the rate of his progression would continue to explode upwards as he expected to be forging tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of Splendiferous Universes very soon! "My Primordial Eye is something innate that came when I was born- that''s one of the perks of the Race of Primordials!" His attention from his Idle Gaming Interface was entirely taken away when the curvaceous yet dangerous existence before him began to speak, her eyes shing with a light of ingenuity as she gazed towards Noah with her golden left eye shining powerfully. "I sacrificed the mes of Perennial- a Minor Edict I had learned a few days after my birth as it granted me this Primordial Perennial Eye. Apart from the normal functions of a Primordial Eye, it also has the powerful boosts of an Edict¡­" She talked about such terrific knowledge freely as they crossed the clear skies, Noah''s heart set on the concept of Edicts as he chose to not cover his body entirely with the boosts of Runic Dao Lines yet- and instead use his many Daos he was getting from his Subjugations and even the dozens of Cosmic Daos he obtained from the portion of the soul that Europa allowed him to take over to try and fuse his own Edict. "This isn''t something you should worry about now though. A Primordial Eye is something far from you as the easiest method to gain one is to fuse the Primordial Dao as a core Dao for an Edict, increasing your chances of awakening one¡­but the odds of a lower existence like you doing it are exceedingly low!" WAA! "But¡­" Her colorful eyes that shone with power locked onto him as she continued with a mischievous smile. "You can surprise me once again as I still feel like you have many secrets for me to uncover¡­" Her words stopped there as Noah took in everything he heard and carefully formted a path for himself, nodding towards this unique existence that had turned quiet after a brief introduction of these new concepts as they continued to fly towards the Helios Tribes Cluster. At the same time, Noah fully utilized the many cards under him to go about things in a terrific manner, his mind buzzing with authority as he sent amand to all those his soul had dominated! "Drop anyprehensions and assimtion ofws and Daos as all focus is to be ced on the fusion of fully assimtedws and daos into Edicts!" WAA! His voice reverberated like a resoundingmand to the minds of all Subjugated and Undead Vassals, Noah having dozens of Daos under hismand as he could now freely see the possibilities in fusing them. Of course with the perks of his abilities and Systems, he could do it all in an idle manner as those his soul dominated did everything for him, and if they were sessful in fusing an Edict¡­it meant he was sessful in fusing an Edict! Hismand was sent as it was soon followed, existences across two Realities under Noah fully delving into this fantastical mission as the tides of destiny slowly began to weave towards a chaotic direction. At the same time, a former champion and a Primordial flew across the skies of a unique Cosmos as the sonorous voice of the Primordial echoed out mesmerizingly. "Let me tell you the structure of the Helios Tribes Cluster and my Little Champion Ragnar that you will meet soon enough though¡­" Chapter 293 - Fusing Primordial Beasts! I Europa nearly could not contain herself. ''Ah¡­'' When she gazed at the specimen before her, everything she had thought were established rules continued to be broken as the being truly exhibited two Primordial Epitaphs! Two Systems! And since she didn''t forge it within this Reality, it meant he was currently moving across two Realities while doing actions that she didn''t think he even understood the full extent of. ''Is it a mutated soul or origin? The only thing I can match it to is the Primal Spirit Race but even they can only do half of what he''s doing since they are Higher Existences¡­for a Champion to do this¡­'' It couldn''t be exined at this moment, and she didn''t want to ruin it all by rushing and dissecting him into molecr pieces to try and understand. ''Let''s see how far you will go.'' Her eyes smiled with a sharp light as she was expectant on just how the future of this being would y out, and she made the target her own Champion that she had granted a System of within this Reality! She came out of her thoughts as she spoke out sonorous while feeling the tough scales of the Undead Primordial Beast Lord she stood on that flew forward. "Little Ragnar has worked hard over the past years to make this Empire of his, with this Archaic Tribal Lands at its core since it contains Primordial Gateways that if not taken care of will release Primordial Beasts to take down everything¡­who do you think forged these Primordial Gateways?" ¡­! His cerulean blue eyes looked towards her trying to hide the shock, but her Primordial Eyes of the Perennial caught it all as sheughed vibrantly! "I wanted my Champion to do more than just get strong and be capable of defeating an Ender of Reality, so I made a little game with Primordial Gateways where Beasts can descend down if they aren''t cleared. They have so far managed to put it under control as you will be another outlier in the game that introduces new challenges." As she spoke, her dark hair glimmered in the outline of the horizon of the skies as she continued. "The Helios Tribes Cluster is a prominent cluster of power under Little Ragnar as it contains a Dao Sentinel standing watch over it, using the resources obtained from the Primordial Rifts to further increase their power as there are over a dozen simrrge Cluster of Tribes spread out around the periphery of the Archaic Tribal Lands." "The other races are living in a somewhat harmonious but asionally conflicting rtionship with the Archaic Beasts that were here first, but none of them know the secret of the being that stands above to protect them all!" Her gaze turned mischievous as she beckoned towards Noah who sat situated a few feet away to get even closer to her- as if she was telling a huge secret! "Don''t tell this to anyone¡­but I thought it would be fun to grant a System to an Archaic Beast as this existence is what Ragnar has currently evolved from! Haha, so I''ll see whether you can handle the Cluster of Tribes that surround him as eventually, we shall see if you can go toe to toe with another Champion of Reality- and this one is in the Cosmic Realm!" WAA! ¡ª "....and this one is in the Cosmic Realm!" THUMP! Noah could feel the beat of his heart clearly as he raised his guard up even further against this Primordial that truly seemed to treat everything like a yground! The Primordial Rifts¡­forged by her to make things interesting. The Champion of Reality¡­an Archaic Beast at the Cosmic Realm, with her choosing not to mention what System she granted this being. ''Danger or opportunity from this Primordial¡­I''ll have to work hard to make it into an opportunity!'' His thoughts were clear as he kept his emotions in check around her, and yet he still felt like he was being seen through constantly as her ck eyes would almost always be tinged gold every now and then, the unique iris of the Primordial Eye of the Perennial also revolving around him. He had to find a counter to this soon as he either obtained his own Primordial Eye or something simr¡­and he also had to elevate the power he himself attained and the power of the Subjugated and Undead Vassals around him! While flying towards the Helios Tribes Cluster that could have powerfulbatants even at the level of Dao Sentinels, Noah had to prepare an undeniable force as this¡­was what his soul in Ezekiel was currently doing in the Third Reality. He was looking at the summoned Undead Primordial Beast Lords as under the perks of the Supreme Necromancer System, he could fuse two Undead into a powerful Chimeric Beast once as he forged a powerful Vassal thereafter! But this time around, he wouldn''t be fusing the qualities of Antiquities¡­but Primordial Beasts. OOOM! In the Third Reality, Noah seamlessly utilized the Supreme Necromancer System to call out four Undead Primordial Beast Lords, a single one still being utilized in the second Reality where he and the Primordial Europa were riding on. He was easily utilizing Systems on different Realities simultaneously without meeting the conditions of a Higher Existence and many more, but he didn''t know this as his focus was on the 4 Primordial Beasts before him. One of the many perks of the Supreme Necromancy System was the single fusion of any two Undead, and Noah''s origin undted with silent light as he didn''t even release any mana, simply voicing out slowly. "Necromancy Editor." WAA! He called out as not an ounce of mana was released from his Origin since the perks of the Supreme Necromancer System stated no mana was needed for the transmogrification of undead! In front of him, a ck interface that shone brightly appeared as it showed holographic images of the Undead before him along with their stats, skills, and nature. He locked onto this interface as his will rolled outmandingly. "Fuse." OOM! A terrific transformation began as a burst of light echoed out gloriously! Chapter 294 - Fusing Primordial Beasts! II Normally, Primordial Beasts searched for and devoured Cosmos stretched out across the Ruination Sea in order to increase their power and rank, where they naturally advanced to be Grand Primordial Beasts and even Cosmic Primordial Beast if their destiny was profound enough! Noah was going about it all in a different way as he selected for the fusion of two Undead Lesser Primordial Beast Lords, his sharp eyes overseeing the process as the Primordial Epitaph at the core of his soul released waves of dark light to bring his wishes to fruition. It truly allowed for Reality altering effects as Noah saw the two Undead Lesser Primordial Beast Lords have their bodies uncontrobly pulled towards each other, a terrifying light blooming between them as it seemed they were forcefully being crammed into a single being. ROAAR! Vibrant bellows were released from both of the Beasts as the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System danced around them, the surroundings surging as the process became faster and faster as in a matter of seconds¡­ BZZZT! A sh of ck light stretched out as a cloud of darkness showed a single humongous form contained within it, the body of this creature crackling with peals of light as the shadows of four pairs of obsidian wings of light could be seen stretching on its back. "OOOOH!" A bellow of power was released from the creature as the dark cloud around it was forcefully dispersed, Noahnding his eyes on the first Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast as he saw a titanic beast that uniquely had half of its draconic head made of obsidian bones, the other half shining with ck scales as multicolored ster eyes shining with a hue of red could be seen! It was a terrifying picture as it showed off its regal status as an Undead, its body the size of a Gxy as it towered over 300,000 Light Years that even Noah seemed like a speck of dust. Such a titanic existence shone with waves of power and malice as when its eyes gazed towards Noah, there was only servitude. ''Good.'' Noah appreciated the form of this creature as he looked at its details. [Chimeric Undead Quasi-Grand Primordial Beast King] :: An existence with a rare chance of being born, with a nearly unkible body that has great resistances against All Laws and Daos. Its nature and origin have been elevated even further as it is abination of existences born from Reality itself with the purpose of destruction, its rank reaching halfway between Lesser and Grand as if it devours a few more Cosmos, its continued elevation in power is guaranteed. The fusion to a Chimeric Vassal has granted it +10,000,000 to All Parameters, and the abilities , , and ...[Stats]...[Abilities]... The stupendous description of the changes of this new Vassal before Noah''s eyes was shown as he marveled at the boosts and future possibilities. He could fuse Undead Vassals once as the aspect of Fusion for this Chimeric Undead Quasi-Grand Primordial Beast King was already not avable, but its power could still be elevated to the Grand level as long as it devoured more Cosmos! "If I continue this way¡­getting a Cosmic Primordial Beast won''t be too hard after all!" WAA! His goals echoed out grandly as with a confident smile on his face, he also turned to the other two Beast Lords as dark essence surged from him- intent on producing a Beast King from these two as well. As he watched all of this unfold, he waved his hands as he also took out something from his inventory- a multicolored heart thousands of miles wide in diameter as it floated calmly in the surroundings! His handsnded on this Primordial Heart as he was getting three of these every minute and a half, and the time came for him to crazily devour this unique loot as the number of Splendiferous Universes within his Origin entirely surpassed the stage of thousands and went towards millions. What was somewhat unique when it came to Noah was the fact that since he lost his true body under the attack of the Primordial in his First Reality and has since been moving his vast soul and consciousness between different bodies- he was able to express his power and Realm through his Soul whenever he took over a subjugation. Currently, his soul had yet major chunks- one moving in the Second Reality under the watch of Europa, and one chunk in Ezekiel in this Third Reality. When it came to the question of his main body, it was whichever body that he had most of his soul clustered onto as he had already lost his true body! At this moment, Noah seamlessly transferred arger portion of his soul from the body within the second Reality as it flooded into Ezekiel in the Third Reality- thus body currently bing the main one as he could devour the Primordial Hearts and elevate the number of his Universes with ease. However many Universes he forged with this body¡­he would be able to disy these same number of Universes and power wherever body he transferred a major portion of his soul into next! So his path of power was more linked to his vastly powerful soul as terrifyingly, he wasn''t anchored onto any body or origin! It was a reality that other beings couldn''t even imagine, and Noah was doing it effortlessly while not knowing just how far fetched his actions were. As he did this and the fusions finalized while the elevation of his strength began in the Third Reality, the figures of Noah and the Primordial Europa neared the Helios Tribes Cluster in the Archaic Tribal Lands. "So? Full frontal attack? If that''s the path, then you might just die under the Dao Sentinel that''s already begun weaving an Edict¡­unless there''s something else about you that I haven''t seen yet." Europa was asid back as ever as her eyes could see an expansive cluster of Tribes hundreds of thousands of miles away, her exceedingly beautiful face turning towards Noah as she waited to see just what this being would show her next! Chapter 295 - Dominant! "My movements here won''t alert the powerful beings within the Archaic Tribal Lands?" Noah patted the single Undead Primordial Beast Lord below him as it was thest of its kind under him for now, with the other 4 having been fused to be 2 Chimeric Undead Quasi-Grand Primordial Beast Kings. "I''ve already drawn a boundary between this nearby Reality and isted it. Even if another Primordial happened to pass by they wouldn''t notice anything¡­" Europa dangled her feet from the head of the Primordial Beast as she spoke, Noah noticing terrifying purple mes dancing on her fingers that should have been mes of Edicts! He had to force his eyes away from her as he focused on the Helios Tribes Clustering up before them, a cluster of many archaic cities that held multiple Lesser Primordial Rifts and a single grand one under the banner of the Dao Sentinel that had glimpsed onto an Edict as they simply wait toplete it. ''Multiple additions of Rifts will increase the amount of Loot ridiculously as if I can put the Dao Sentinel under me¡­'' His thoughts were more terrifying than anyone would expect as his confidencey not in himself, but the 2 Chimeric Undead Quasi-Grand Primordial Beasts! When he deployed these terrifying Undead Vassals on top of his using his Ancient Terror skill tree abilities to debuff along with the skills of the Usurper¡­even a Dao Sentinel that had faced Grand Primordial Beasts before might have to suffer. "Hoo¡­" So Noah steeled his heart as he patted the Primordial Beast Lord under him, the titanous beast edging forward even closer as the hidden figure of Europa began tough lightly. "The exciting frontal attacks..haha, let''s see!" ¡ª Calmness. While surrounded by six women at the rank of Antiquities around his bed, Dao Sentinel Christoph felt his body to be bubbling with pride and power as he was the one ruling and overseeing the Helios Tribes Cluster! The authority hemanded was vast due to the number of Tribes below him and the Grand Primordial Rift he had to clear with a prime team every now and then, where he was known across the Archaic Tribal Lands as the Molten Giant Christoph. A Dao Sentinel that had ovee many other Dao Warmongers to glimpse upon a path of an Edict- just this mere path alone granting him stupendous levels of power as even those who had deconstructed and reconstructed many Dao Lines onto their bodies and Origins could not stand against him! He knew the future was bright as in a matter of time, he would even be able to rise and be someone at the same level as the revered Great Chieftain. ''When that time-'' BZZZT! The Dao Sentinel was interrupted out of his thoughts as he suddenly felt waves of power essence wash over him and spread out across the vast area he was in, his figure rising up with a sharp light as the 6 female Antiquities around hid drowsily did the same! "Who dares to be so wild in my domain?!" WAA! With a bellow of power, Dao Sentinel Christoph turned into a zing crimson light that flew out of the Grand ancient castle he was dwelling in. He wasn''t alone as the glimmer of lights that represented Dao Warmonger rose in multiple locations across the vastnds of the Helios Tribes Cluster, their gazes probing as they looked towards the skies for the source of the aura! "Chief Christoph, this is¡­" Christoph''s figure floated in the skies as the Dao Warmongers began to cluster around him, one of the burly ones adorned in Primordial Beasts Armor voicing out with a light of surprise when they gazed at the figure of a Primordial Beast that looked uniquely different from the ones they knew and came across. Atop this Primordial Beast, they could see a calm figure adorned in a light blue robe, his eyes releasing the same brilliant color of blue as he gazed towards them without an ounce of fear! Dao Sentinel Christoph analyzed this scene as he measured the strength of the existences before him, his anger and pride rising up as he voiced out resonantly. "A little thing like you dares to roll into the skies of my Helios Tribes? I fear you will have to stay here today as the option of leaving for you is off the table!" RUMBLE! Christoph''s eyes shone with interest hen he looked at the Primordial Beast that the blue eyes Warmonger stood onmandingly, his hands waving as they acted like a signal to all the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities under him to fan out and surround the titanic figure of Beast and the master standing above it. At the same time, Christoph''s figure only became more and more dominant as his surroundings began to waver and melt, his body nearly taking a crimson hue as he was getting ready for battle. The existences of the Archaic Tribal Lands lived and thrived for battle, and if a challenge just presented itself in the skies above their homes- they would dly take it! As for Christoph, he desired to know who was so bold to threaten his authority so openly- and he wanted to dissect the thing that seemed like a Primordial Beast before their eyes as his thoughts towards it were wild. ''Will its meat taste any different than a Grand Primordial Beast?'' WAA! With his eyes shining with a wild light, Dao Sentinel Christoph bellowed out while gazing at the calm looking blue-eyed existence. "Light this fool up for his disrespect, we shall feast on the bones of his beast!" OOOOOH! With vibrant yells, the beings who loved and thrived for battles moved. At the same time, the being they were moving against had his cerulean eyes released brilliant arcs of light, wanting to test how his mental strengthpared against Warmongers and this Dao Sentinel as he called out slowly! "Corruption of the Usurper. Malignant Madness. Eye of Terror¡­Ruler''s Emanation." THRUM! The skies quaked and vibrated with power. Terrifying mental energy waves carrying an assortment of the Essence of dozens of Cosmic Daos bellowed out madly in the skies as they descended on the dazzling Helios Tribes Cluster! Chapter 296 - Dominant! II Christoph had a smile on his face when he was gazing at the lone blue-eyed Dao Warmonger atop the unique Primordial Beast, but the moment this being''s essence moved out, he couldn''t help but change his expression! A heavy and oppressive mental pressure unlike anything that Christoph had felt rolled out and descended onto his own mind and origin, the same thing urring to the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities under him as they felt like the whole sky was falling on their backs. RUMBLE! The sky became tinted with a cerulean hue as the moment this horrendous pressure that actually went ahead to bind onto their bodies and heavily reduce their movements descended¡­Christoph responded quickly as his Origin released essence in waves, each of them swimming around each other in harmony as they were actually representing the stage one had to go through before they forged their own Nomological Edict! ! A being was adorned a fledgling Dao Sentinel if they had seen a path of fusing Daos andws together, and Christoph fully utilized the strength of this level as the unique mixture ofws and daos wrapped around him to push out the horrendous mental pressure. "OOOOH!" He bellowed out as his body released waves of heat, his yell shooting out mes as it bolstered the hearts of the Dao Warmongers who were shaken by the casts of the [Corruption of the Usurper] and [Malignant Madness], Christoph ncing towards the direction of the invader with anger as he called out. "A single Dao Warmonger and a Lesser Primordial Beast¡­do not show fear before them! Rip them apart!" WAA! His words were like a surge of water in a dry desert as the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities under him moved, but they shockingly came to a halt in the next second as something ridiculous urred around the enemy they were rushing towards. In the blue skies, two titanous Primordial Beasts with half of their heads menacingly being made of crystalline obsidian bones appeared, the waves of power they released being terrifying as they were the size of multiple worlds- and this was them being miniaturized from their size of a gxy! The waves of power they released rmed and caused all rushing forces to stop as one Warmonger managed to squeeze out the words while his Origin faced the suppression around them. "Grand¡­Primordial Beast!" ¡­! The powerful aura that the Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings released was actually mistaken for that of a Grand Primordial Beast, and this was because these Dao Warmongers were reminded the most about the Grand Primordial Beast they faced in the Rift at the center of the Helion Tribe Cluster! This reality was what caused their advance toe to a halt as only the Dao Sentinel Christoph looked at this scene with sharp eyes that shed with the pride of a powerhouse, his body beginning to turn a crimson shade of color as it seemed to turn into a liquid molten form and began expanding in size rapidly! "Foreigner¡­let me show you why an existence that has glimpsed Edicts is not someone for you to show off against." OOOM! His words were reflected by the harmonious weaving on multiple daos andws that wrapped around his body and gradually increased its temperature and power he disyed, his figure continuing to expand thousands of miles as he became a molten humanoid made of crimson weavingva that held multiples daos andws reinforcing each other. With such a grand transformation, the figure of Christoph turned into a crimson sh that threw out a punch- a river of moltenva rushing out and covering the skies as the bellows of a Dao Sentinel echoed out! ¡ª "What!" Europa nearly came out of the folds of space she hid in as she saw Noah call out the two Chimeric Primordial Beast Kings, not expecting this being to substitute 4 Primordial Beast Lords for these two powerhouses! She very quickly connected it to his System as her eyes shone with sharpness when she gazed at what was urring. "Just which child designed that System¡­" She questioned to nothingness as she received no answer, her hands waving to her side as spatial essence fluctuated, a bucket filled with golden shining popcorn appearing with the wave of her hand as she began to stuff herself while watching an erged Dao Sentinel shining with nearly fusedws and daos barrel towards Noah. ROAR! The Chimeric Primordial Beast Kings let out domineering roars as their origins shed once, this single sh causing the skies to lose their blue color as their half skeletal heads released archaic voices. " . ." WAA! Their voices were like archaic callings that brought out raging storms filled with Primordial and Ruination Essence, the skies being painted red and white as space itself was torn apart to make way for the Wrath of the Chimeric Kings! During this whole endeavor, Noah still sat atop the Primordial Beast Lord calmly as his blue eyes released arcs of light, merely watching as the two Chimeric Kings behind him entered the battlefield to sh against a Dao Sentinel and the shaken Dao Warmongers! Behind him, dozens of Chimeric Undead Antiquities also rose up as their eyes shed with malice, their voices resonating as they moved out. "For the Legion!" OOOH! With fervor, his Undead Vassals moved as he watched with his own eyes the surging river of Lava heading his way be ripped apart simr to the skies themselves by the storms of Ruination and Primordial Essence, the bodies of the Chimering Kings d with these types of essence and other Cosmic Daos as they shed against the existence made of molten and vibrating solidified mes. BOOOM! A sh of crimson light painted the skies as it brought calm for less than a millisecond¡­and then everything descended into madness once more as the two Chimeric Kings tangled with the Dao Sentinel, and Noah finally made a move as he patted the Primordial Beast Lord under him, the figures of Ebony Wolf and other Warmongers and Antiquities appearing beside him as their targets were all other enemies in the sky apart from the Dao Sentinel! "Let''s increase the number of subjugations and Rifts quickly, hmm?" His voice echoed out silently as his Origin that could not be seen at this moment actually shone with over 50 thousand Splendiferous Universes already- a ridiculously high jump from his barely over a thousand just a day ago as he had fully begun to consume the Primordial Hearts he was receiving in Idle Mode, and he was expectant to increase the number of Hearts he was getting with the multiple Rifts shining brilliantly within this Helios Tribes Cluster! Chapter 297 - Bringing A Dao Sentinel To Their Knees! How do you face an existence that had touched upon the level of Edicts- an existence that already had semi-fused his daos andws as the power they could wield was something that was stepping above even Cosmic Daos? Of course, the simplest answer was for one to have achieved such a realm themselves, but Noah didn''t have this for himself as he went about this very differently! He sent his Chimeric Undead Primordial Kings that were at the Quasi-Grand level against the existence that currently shone with a crimson molten appearance, his entire body releasing waves of heat that put suns to shame. Such a level of heat seared the very skies itself as Noah shockingly found space to be waving and seemingly ''melting'' around this being. This was the terror of just a quasipleted Edict from a Dao Sentinel! Yet even when such a being punched out a river ofva towards Noah, the Storms of Ruination and Primordial essence that his Chimeric Kings sent out achieved a simr effect as they blocked such an attack from reaching Noah. Even though they did this, Noah saw the strain they felt as they fearlessly advanced, knowing that he would have to take this existence down with the usual method he had begun using recently. That method¡­was swarming his enemies until he broke them down little by little. But against this Dao Sentinel, he needed many more subjugated or undead Dao Warmongers and Antiquities, and it just so happened that in the surroundings¡­there were plenty of such existences for Noah to get his hands on! BZZZT! Space crackled as the Primordial Beast King below Noah moved like a sh of white and ck light, the two Dao Warmongers Noah currently had under him moving a step behind him as the Undead Antiquities followed, all of them not even nearing the battle between the Dao Sentinel and two Chimeric Kings as they targeted the ruffled Dao Warmongers and Antiquities in the surroundings! "[The Emperor''s Universe]" WAA! "[Illusory Will of the Emperor]. [Gravity Maniption]..." The skills from the? Telekic Emperor and Mind Dominator rolled out along with those of the Ancient Terror, Noah''s exceedingly strong soul crashing down with the weight equivalent to ster bodies into the minds of the Dao Antiquities and Warmongers. With his mind as a weapon, he was tremendously effective in his attack as the aspect of the mind and soul was the weakest for nearly all beings as it was too hard to protect one''s soul! Everyone had strong physical defenses as they protected and enhanced their bodies with theirw and dao essences, but the soul was something many beings fell behind as the moment Noah''s will descended down to smash onto their minds like hammers¡­all of the Antiquities in the surroundings became muddled. "Ruler''s Emanation...Ruler''s Emanation.." Noah then drew from the reserves of mana of his Subjugations as he spammed the ability to smash his will down as a weapon, the muddled minds of Antiquities entirely falling unconscious while the Dao Warmongers had their expressions turn entirely ashen! Before the Dao Antiquities that had fallen unconscious fell from the skies, Noah''s voice echoed out again as he would not leave them be. "Matter Maniption." WAA! The bodies of the Antiquities uncontrobly had a terrifying force wrap around them, the fantastical scene of dozens of knocked-out Antiquities being drawn from the skies towards Noah urring as the Dao Sentinel Christoph saw this and bellowed out madly. "OOOOOH!" The skies surged with crimson light as Noah didn''t pay attention to it, his eyes releasing arcs of blue light as the unconscious bodies of dozens of Antiquities were brought near him with his mind, his will being carried in the cerulean arcs of light as they entered into the dazed minds of these Antiquities. "Subjugate." RUMBLE! A single word to decide their fates. A sh of blue light. And then dozens of Subjugated Antiquities opened their eyes and paid their respect to a new Master. BOOM! At the same time, his Undead Antiquities and 2 Dao Warmongers reached the minds of the muddled enemy Warmongers, the sh dealing heavy damage on some of them as before they could even recover¡­the newly Subjugated Antiquities that now released an even more oppressive light of power turned around and rushed to attack those who used to be their allies just moments ago as the pressure built up to the highest levels! "What are you?!" The bellows of the Dao Sentinel trying to move past the Chimeric Kings that always stopped him could be heard, but Noah simply closed his eyes for a second to feel the strengthening of his Soul after dominating dozens of Antiquities at once, these same eyes opening momentster while releasing a sharp light of greed as they gazed onto the Dao Warmongers that amounted to 18. "Ruler''s Emanation¡­" Within renewed mana batteries added by the dozens, Noah''s will rolled out once more to smash onto the minds of the 18 Dao Warmongers while his Subjugations and Undead Vassals released terrific attacks to tear down their defenses even more- these powerful existences that had been deconstructing and reconstructing their Daos into Runic Dao Lines beginning to fall like dominoes one by one. Three Dao Warmongers received Noah''s mental attacks and the ravaging attacks from Ebony Wolf as their minds finally gave out under the pressure, the will of the Telekic Emperor wrapping around them and bringing their bodies towards Noah as arcs of blue lightning stretched into their minds and origins to subjugate them momentster. OOM! Within seconds, three pairs of blue eyes opened as the Dao Warmongers under Noah increased by three, these terrific existences being enhanced thoroughly under the abilities of the Mind Dominator as they became multiple times more powerful than just seconds ago, their gazes turning around to the remaining 15 Warmongers as within the next minute- the battle turnedical as one Dao Warmonger after another fell, and every time one fell¡­they became subjugated as they joined the battle against those remaining! It meant the process urred faster and faster as before an entire minute even passed, all the remaining Dao Warmongers were floating in the skies with their eyes showing a sh of cerulean light within them. "..." They floated with calmness as their gazes were filled with respect towards a single being still situated atop a Primordial Beast Lord, a being that released a light of dominance as he turned his gaze towards the simmering crimson giant that was close to heavily injuring his Chimeric Kings! As his eyes turned towards the Dao Sentinel, so did all of his Undead Vassals and newly gained Antiquities by the dozens and the 18 Dao Warmongers that palpated with arcs of power. Now¡­Noah could carry out his strategy of swarming a single enemy to his death! Chapter 298 - Bringing a Dao Sentinel to their Knees! II Chapter 298 - Bringing a Dao Sentinel to their Knees! II His gaze was ashen as even with all of his ferocity, he could not rip apart the two Undead Primordial Beasts before him that released waves of power nearing the bosses he fought within the Grand Primordial Rift! If he has more time, sure. If he had his Dao Warmongers aiding him, he would be even more sure. Yet at this moment¡­those that were his allies turned their murderous intent towards him, and he felt all of them ze with terrifying power as they directed attacks towards him as if he was their worst enemy! It was a surreal situation as of all sides, he was bing swarmed by over a dozen Dao Warmongers and over a hundred Antiquities, many of them releasing abilities that utilized the essence of Ruination or of the Primordial Dao. With the umtion of all of these attacks along with the existence with the brilliant blue eyes releasing waves of tremendous mental pressure¡­ BOOOOM! The skies above the Helios Tribes Cluster were covered by an aurora of lights akin to a nuclear bomb going off from the attacks of too many powerful existences being focused on a single one! Right before the impact, the Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings shed away with perfect synchrony as before the blinding light of Ruination, Primordial, Extinction¡­too many Cosmic Daos to even count- before their light died down, these beasts returned as they released terrific pirs of Ruination and Primordial mes through their jaws as [Dragon''s Breath]. OOOM! The skies brightened up once more to reveal the bedraggled figure of the Dao Sentinel Christoph, where before he even recovered from thest round of attacks, new ones rained down as this existence couldn''t even exhibit his higher strength and was instead bing drowned in waves of attacks! His titanous molten humanoid form began to lose its luster ever so slowly as even with the weaving of Daos and Laws to cause him to glimpse into an Edict, it was nothing against the terror of the abilities of two Systems working in conjunction. "Well, I guess that was one way of doing it¡­" Europa finished the golden popcorn with her bucket as she threw it to the side, waving her hands to call forth another bucket that was filled to the brim as she looked at it in passing. "Hmm, I''ll have to return to that Reality to restock this product from that Race of Elves¡­" a mere thought of a Primordial in passing as she watched an existence she found interesting to be tearing down an existence that should have been a stage above him in power. Her Primordial Eye of the Perennial swirled with power as she gazed at everything, watching as Christoph received waves and waves of attacks from the two Chimeric Kings as Noah stood above the Primordial Beast Lord and synchronized the attacks of the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities while his own mental waves echoed out in a calm fashion! Methodical, efficient, and deadly as after an entire minute of withstanding it all¡­ OOM! The gigantic figure of the Dao Sentinel lost his support in the crimson skies as one of his legs gave out, this being falling to one of his knees! "Ay¡­." Europa shook her head in what seemed to be sadness for this being, but her eyes were smiling as if watching a y! She saw Noah use this chance when this being slipped to his knees as hemanded the two Chimeric Kings to move, these two Beastsing to the left and right of the Dao Sentinel as their jaws mped onto his outstretched hands that were trying to defend. WAA! Then, the Primordial Beast Lord he floated out went forward towards the ashen face of the Dao Sentinel now on his knees, Noah releasing more and more of his mental waves that wereced with Ruination and Primordial Essence that broke down the mind of this powerful being that could do nothing but watch hime up until he was a few inches from his face. "A Dao Sentinel seems to only be so so!" RUMBLE! With a domineering sentence that crushed thest bits of the will of Christoph, Noah''s eyes shed a gorgeous cerulean blue light that maddeningly dove into the mind of this powerful Chieftain. The will of the Mind Dominator would not be denied as for the first time, Noah got his hands on a Dao Sentinel of wondrous strength, and one that already had glimpsed into an Edict as it meant a possible pathway for Noah to gain something as abstruse as a Nomological Edict! One must know, the aspect of fusing daos andws was extremely hard as only the highest levels of geniuses were capable of doing it, and it was hard to find too many beings that had glimpsed Edicts, much less a fully formed one. OOOM! As Noah felt his will wrap around the Dao Sentinel, he received an influx of information, memories, and Daos of this being as therger Archaic Tribal Lands were painted perfectly within mind¡­along with the image of the Champion of Reality that Europa had mentioned! Christoph was one of the very few beings that had managed to be in the presence of the being that Europa called Little Ragnar, and now Noah saw the form of this existence that was actually an archaic beast in human form. But before he could even continue enjoying the memories of and daos of this being, his Origin felt a jolt as he received feedback from one of his bodies! "This¡­" Noah''s eyes released arcs of light as before he even fullyprehended the simple fusion ofws and daos that Christoph had undergone to glimpse an Edict, he felt a simr sensation from another existence he was connected to with even a majority of his soul into this existence within another Reality. "Could you not havee just a few minutes earlier?" RUMBLE! Noah''s voice echoed out as ridiculously, he felt feedback from none other than the soul of Ezekiel in the Third Reality who had beenprehending the fusion ofws and daos after sending away the two Chimeric Kings¡­he actually felt the sensation of this Champion seeding in glimpsing an Edict simr to the Dao Sentinel that he just defeated! A Glimpse of Edicts that came not just from the source of one being, but two! Chapter 299 - A Glimpse of Two Edicts! Chapter 299 - A Glimpse of Two Edicts! "Wowow- he can obtain theprehensions of those he dominates?" Her eyes released sparkling lights at such a realization, reevaluating the strength of this anomaly before her as apart from gaining a Dao Sentinelbatant the moment he dominated them, he became one himself as he took everything they had! "Well, the rate of progression he has isparable to even the little Pandemonium Slimes leeching off destroyed Realities¡­" Europapared it to the many experiences she hade across as the rate of progression Noah disyed was simply too fast! When traversing the small stages of power from being capable of forming Dao Lines to glimpsing Edicts and even forming an Edict itself- many beings spent a significant amount of time between these stages. Yet Noah jumped over them with such speed that one day he was an Antiquity, the next one a Dao Warmonger, and now another day, he was already achieving Dao Sentinel! "Mmm¡­is the System I designed for Little Raganar too weak? He''s already a few million years in and he only has a fewpleted Edicts. This little anomaly before me seems like he''ll do what Ragnar has done in just months if not weeks¡­" She had a difficult expression as she watched the rough fusion ofss and daos not just from Christoph wrap around Noah, but she also saw the swirlingbinations ofws and daos that seemed to have stemmed from Noah himself! "Instantly glimpsing another Edict just as youe across one from your dominated enemy? Sheesh" The smile on Europa never faded as she found the unbelievable things she saw made her more and more curious, and she didn''t know that another one of Noah''s bodies in an entirely different Reality was the one to coincidentallyprehend a glimpse into another Edict. "Let''s see, where shall you go next¡­" Her vibrant eyes danced with amusement as she remained hidden in the folds of space, watching as a Dao Sentinel that ruled over a Cluster of Tribes kneeled towards Noah Eckert! ¡ª The Chieftain of a Cluster of Tribesy before his feet as even more wondrously, two words swirled within Noah''s mind. The first stemmed from the efforts of the Dao Sentinel Christoph as it read ! This was the glimpse of Edict that the Dao Sentinel had gained a peek into- with the definition of this word being burning, corrosive, or scorching. This was the mixture of daos andws he utilized to achieve his titanous molten form that were capable of injuring and pushing aside two Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings while withstanding the barrage of attacks from over a hundred Antiquities and over a dozen Dao Warmongers for quite some time. All that Noah had to do wasplete the fusion of the concepts of this Edict as for this¡­ ''It will be dedicated to the many genius and powerful Antiquities and Dao Warmongers that can fuse it for me!'' WAA! A domineering thought for something that only he could do! Stay idly by while advancing at speeds faster than anyone else could even imagine! It was a wonderful reality only brought about by the inherent skills he gained from the Tower of Champions that stemmed from the Idle Gaming System, and then further enhanced by the Supreme Necromancer System. It would open pathways that no other beings thought possible as Noah only had to explore them for himself at this point! The other word that rang out in his mind apart from was . This was the concept that Ezekiel had grasped onto, a word that stood for darkness or shadowy as it seemed inclined to this being that was the past owner of the Supreme Necromancer System. Two concepts. Two future Edicts born from thebination of a myriad ofws and daos! Noah would see exactly how long it took him to bring the both of them to fruition. "Rise¡­and let us see the Rifts that lie beneath us!" His voice echoed out to his newly gained army of Dao Warmongers, Antiquities and the most powerful Dao Sentinel Christoph as he gazed at the multiple Lesser Primordial Rifts and the Grand Primordial Rift that stood at the center of the Helios Tribes Cluster. His dream of forging millions of Splendiferous Universes daily would get ever so closer to fruition as he delved into these Rifts, and he would also get his hands on additional Primordial Beasts as in no time, an army of such unique existences would be behind him! "We move under Master''s orders!" A bellow came from a subservient Chrisoph as his chest shone with the light of 800,000 Universes, Noah temporarily putting more of his soul into this being as they proceeded down into the nearest Lesser Primordial Rift. The pulsing portal that would make others fearful looked extremely beautiful in Noah''s eyes, his figure delving into it as he brought with him a literal army! SHAA! They were teleported in as they appeared in the first floor of the Lesser Primordial Rift, their gazesnding on a small raging Ruination Sea where a Lesser Primordial Beast rose from while beginning to release a powerful roar. But as this beast felt the auras and saw the army of 2 Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings and the being standing atop a Beast Lord¡­.along with all of the Antiquities, Warmongers, and even Dao Sentil behind him- the roar stopped on its throat. The roar of a Primordial Beast was actually stifled as its prideful eyes looked out in shock, and one could see the thoughts on its face as clear as day! ''This whole army was prepared for little old me?!'' It''s eyes screamed out unwillingness as before it could move any further, the floor was littered with skills to rip it apart and turn it into an Undead Vassal as Noah nned to get a cleartime of less than a minute for every single remaining Lesser Primordial Rift! Chapter 300 - Glorious Clear Times! Chapter 300 - Glorious Clear Times! This was a terrifying Reality to imagine as the Rifts he was clearing now were at the level of Universal Fment Rank, with the enemies being Lesser Primordial Beasts at this rank that had either fully assimted Ruination or the Primordial Daos! Yet each one of the Primordial Beasts fell within seconds as their origins became tinged with the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System right after, these existences rising again as Undead Primordial Beast Lords that only made Noah''s progression within these Rifts even more insane. The first Lesser Primordial Rift within the Helios Tribes Cluster waspleted in a minute, Noah and his Subjugations and Undead Vassals being kicked out moments after as they appeared outside to see theplete destruction of the Rift Portal soon after! This¡­was something that only Noah could do within the Archaic Tribal Lands that others had to thank him for. He was entirely destroying the Gateways of the Primordial Beasts as everywhere he passed, its natives had no reason to worry thereafter. After watching the destruction of the first Lesser Primordial Rift, Noah continued forward to the next one as he could always feel the gaze of the Primordial Europa on him this whole time, this existence remaining hidden in the folds of space as he felt like she could peer into the dimension of the Lesser Rift whether she was inside it or not. The power of this Primordial continued to be terrifying and hard to understand, but Noah would simply continue to see how many more benefits he could take from her before things imploded as for now- he kept his focus on the continued clearance of the Lesser Rifts within the Cluster of Tribes around him! After the first one, the rest that followed were around the same range of time if not slightly faster after every clear, Noah gaining three Undead Primordial Beast Lords at every clear as his Undead Legion of Primordial Beasts was growing at a tremendously fast rate. Every time a Lesser Primordial Beast fell, Noah''s heart felt more at ease as he knew at the center of this Helios Tribes Cluster, he would have to delve into the Grand Primordial Rift that held genuine beasts at this level, and the morebatants he had¡­the more he would be able to clear this rift with utter ease as well! The Dao Sentinel Christoph was already able to clear this Rift with the aid of his Dao Warmongers and Antiquities as Noah would have even less trouble, but he wanted to ultimately clear this Grand Primordial Rift at a faster rate than any of the Lesser ones as he looked forward to obtaining the Grand Primordial Hearts and however many Splendiferous Universes they would help him forge. OOOM! The authorities of two Systems spread out madly as multiple Rifts were added into Idle Mode under the Idle Gaming System, while Primordial Beasts were turned into Undead Vassals under Noah''s authority through the Supreme Necromancer System! Such glorious scenes were all under the gaze of the Primordial Eye of the Perennial attached to a powerful Primordial, the river of time continuing to flow as minutes passed! In this short period of time, Noah added all of the 11 Lesser Primordial Rifts stretched out across the Helios Tribes Cluster, appearing out of thest one at this moment as he had 33 additional Undead Primordial Beast Lords behind him releasing a shocking air of power. His eyes shed with their cerulean blue light as he then gazed towards the single pulsing Rift that remained within the Tribe Cluster- the only Grand Primordial Rift! To prepare for this, his eyes shed as he sent amand that caused the newly inducted Undead Primordial Beast Lords to disappear, being sent towards the Third Reality where his soul in the body of Ezekiel would perform the fusion of these beasts to be Chimeric Undead Beast Kings. "Bring them back and do whatever you wanted to do right here." RUMBLE! The sharp voice filled with authority echoed out as Noah felt his Origin vibrate with warning signs, seeing Europa step out of the folds of space to his right as her curvaceous figure red at him, seemingly with a trace of annoyance within her side! "My curiosity is the only thing I have, if you try to hide the things that I am curious about¡­" WAA! Her eyes were tinged with majestic light that could wipe out Noah and the Chimeric Beast Kings around him in milliseconds, a reminder about the danger that came with the opportunities of this existence being instilled in Noah right now as with calm eyes, the dozens of Beast Lords were returned into the skies above the Helios Tribes Cluster! Keeping his gaze on Europa onest time as he had his own hidden thoughts, Noah then gazed at the beasts as the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System began to leak out of him, his voice ringing outmandingly. "Fuse." OOOM! Europa watched as the glow of danger disappeared from her eyes, being reced quickly with a smile of interest as she saw the obsidian Primordial Epitaph hidden deep within Noah begin to sh out with vibrant light. This light was steeped in darkness as her Primordial Eye tried to peer into the many runicyers of the Primordial Epitaph to understand this System and who forged it! As she did this, she also saw the over 30 Undead Primordial Beast Lords begin to be bathed with this light as wondrously, not an ounce of mana was utilized for this process. Only the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System! The dark light bathed them as it began to pull two of the Beasts towards each other, a forceful fusion being induced as the crackling of bones and origins could be seen melding into each other to form into singr Undead Primordial Beast Kings. "Fantastic¡­" Europa''s clear voice rang out as she smiled brightly, Noah continuing to float in the skies as his expression didn''t portray any of his emotions- simply watching as over a dozen Beast Kings that released an aura nearly reaching that of Grand Primordial Beasts were born. ''This¡­would just be the beginning." WAA! His face didn''t show it, but his origin burned with ambition and wrath that he had to do as he was told and follow the direction of another, the vow he made many days ago resounding in his mind as he was reminded once more about being helpless under the strength of others. For now, he would bid his time and get stronger. In just a matter of days, he obtained enough power that rivaled Grand Primordial Beasts¡­in another few days or weeks, what prevented him from having the equivalent power of Cosmic Primordial Beasts?! Chapter 301 - A Grand Primordial Rift! Chapter 301 - A Grand Primordial Rift! The skies now roiled with utter darkness that pervaded everything, the fusion of over 30 Lesser Primordial Beast Lords taking ce as over a dozen Chimeric Beast Kings stepped into the light! The scene was observed closed by the Primordial Europa, and even more closely by Noah as within less than a minute- shes of powerful light echoed out as 19 Chimeric Beast Kings in totaly their heads down subserviently towards him. No Beast Lord was present as there were only these Beast Kings currently, Noah flying to stand atop the leading Beast King calmly as his gaze was on the pulsing portal at the center of the Helios Tribes Cluster. "Just fantastic¡­" In the skies, Europa spoke while shaking her head at Noah''s nonchnt actions, watching as Dao Sentinel Christoph and the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities Noah had under him all group up and fly to sit on the many different Beast Kings as they all gazed towards where their Master was looking towards! "Let''s go!" Noah''s eyes then shed with a gorgeous blue as he patted the Beast King below him, his procession of a terrifying army going forward to delve into their first Grand Primordial Rift. As this urred, Noah''s eyes also danced on the Idle Gaming System Interface where he could see the gains of the Lesser Rifts he had cleared so far¡­and their reduced clear time with an average of 1 minute! [Idle Loot] :: +1,000,000,000 Idle Exp every 1 minute, +33 Lesser Primordial Hearts every 1 minute, +555 Units of Primordial Beast Blood every 1 minute, +555 Units of Primordial Beast Bones every 1 minute¡­ 33 Primordial Hearts every minute! That was now 47, 520 Primordial Hearts every single daypared to the old 2000 just less than an hour ago¡­ It was a ridiculous number of Primordial Hearts as when one took into ount a single Primordial Heart granting 1000 Splendiferous Universes - it meant that just within a day, he would be able to obtain enough loot to form over 47,520,000 Universes within his Origin. A passage of a single day¡­granting him close to 50 Million Splendiferous Universes! From the knowledge he had gathered from Europa and the Subjugated Dao Sentinel Christoph, one had to obtain 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes before they could forge their Cosmos and achieve the Cosmic Realm, and Nkah would actually be capable of forging close to 50 million of such Universes daily as the Cosmic Realm¡­was truly not too far away. This was what granted Noah confidence to say that even with the ws of the Primordial Europa digging into him, he was still expectant of a future where even this Primordial would be left in the dust! While his body in the Second Reality was delving into the Grand Primordial Rift, thergest portion of his soul that was clustered within Ezekiel in the Third Reality was actively taking in all the Primordial Hearts obtained every minute and devouring them as within his Origin¡­thousands of new Splendiferous Universes bloomed every minute. Hidden within the folds of Reality, Europa also watched Noah''s origin closely as her eyes sparkled when she saw it buzz with activity and constantly releasing more oppressive waves of strength- her interest continuing to be piqued even more as they all sunk into the Grand Primordial Rift! OOOM! After a wave of spatial essence, Noah''s awareness gazed out to find the entire first floor of this rift surrounded by a Primordial Sea, all of their surroundings covered densely with this essence as it was far vaster than any of the floors from the Lesser Primordial Rifts-ing out to be millions of light years in size. Within it, the singr aura of a regal beast could be felt, Noah feeling its eyes hone onto him the moment they arrived as Noah also gazed back at an existence over 300,000 Light Years, surpassing the size of most gxies as its form was a variation of a dragon with glistening golden scales and 6 pairs of wings of light. BZZZT! Seeing the size of the creature, Noah sentmands to his own Chimeric Beast Kings as their bodies began to expand wildly,ing out to titanous sizes of gxies themselves as their sharp eyes filled with death stared at the single enemy. The Grand Primordial Beast gazed back at all of them with coldness as enemies at this level of power had their own pride and arrogance that even when faced with a terrifying force, they took it head on! Its body began to be wreathed in mes of primordial essence as it roared out fearlessly towards Noah and his army of Chimeric Beast Kings, a Dao Sentinel, Dao Warmongers, and Antiquities as the white seas changed color in the next instant from the light of skills that followed. ¡ª As a fantastical battle ensued for Noah''s first Grand Primordial Rift, his major focus was actually with Ezekiel''s body where most of his soul resided- the body that was currently sucking up all the essence from multiple Lesser Primordial Hearts. This was because uniquely as he devoured the multicolored loot in the form of genuine hearts, he found the glimpse he had peered into the concept of was bing ever clearer! It meant that possibly, the past champion that Noah had dominated and taken over the System of might actually be the first one to be sessful in forging an Edict for Noah! ''Do the souls of champions naturally have perks of catching onto abstruse concepts such as this quickly?'' Noah smiled lightly as hepared himself to Ezekiel, his focusing tond on the swirling essences ofws and daos that wanted to quicklye together into the concept of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral. Others might be struggling to even glimpse edicts, and yet here he was actually being confident in obtaining one in a short period of time! Chapter 302 - Establishing a Nomological Edict! I Chapter 302 - Establishing a Nomological Edict! I Love and Rose were absorbing Primordial Hearts by the side as they raised their awareness to listen in as well, one of Noah''s many bodies that his soul resided in turning towards them as he spoke lightly. "Afterws and daos, one has to go further by fusing them into concepts called Nomological Edicts- I''m currently trying to fuse thews of Death, Darkness, Chaos, Fire, and Time into the Daos of Tenebrosity, Shadows, Extinction, Eclipse, and Necromancy into a Nomological Edict! ¡­! He spoke of such grand undertakings lightly as the world of ice within Annalise''s hands nearly fell, looking towards him with surprise and awe as her eyes sparkled with questions! "How much more powerful is itpared to Cosmic Daos?" Love stopped her absorption of the essence of the Primordial Heart as she was the one to ask, Noah''s blue eyes shing with brilliant luster as he replied by releasing from his hands the rough mixture ofws and daos that were almost atpletion. "It can suppress Daos entirely as a being with an Edict is akin to an adult while a being without is a mere newborn!" WAA! His voice resounded out the girls'' minds as their eyes brightened up, countless possibilities opening up before them! ¡ª- In the Third Reality, Noah''s soul in the body of Ezekiel watched as the Daos andws around him weaved together in a unique fashion, his Origin undting with a unique light as the Primordial Epitaphs within his Soul had the Essence of Reality within them bubbling wildly. This was the first time Noah had seen the Primordial Epitaphs of the two Systems within his soul have any reaction apart from when he used the Systems, the Essence of Reality within shing brightly in the next instant as the rough mixture of Daos andws around him that would have taken a significant amount of time to put together¡­they began to seamlessly fuse. From a rough mixture ofws and daos¡­into something brand new as Noah saw a raging and pristine pir of obsidian essence form around him- this pir of essence rushing towards him and branding itself onto his soul as he obtained his first Nomological Edict! "This¡­" His blue eyes became tinged with a light of darkness as the Nomological edict that held concepts of death and shadows upied his body, boundless knowledge flowing into him as within seconds, the most crucial parts were reflected before his eyes in the form of a shimmering blue text box. GREATER :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from thebination ofws and Daos. It cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of Adumbral is born from thebination of the Cosmic Daos of Tenebrosity, Shadows, Eclipse, Extinction, and Necromancy along with thews of Death, Chaos, Darkness, Fire, andstly Time. As the Edict Architect, Noah Eckert gains the Authority of Adumbral which grants him unique rights. The Edict of Adumbral grants its architect +50,000,000% Increased True Annihtory Soul and Physical Damage and allows one to meld their bodies entirely into the shadows of space, gaining them 50% Negation to all iing True Annihtory Physical Damage while in this state. The abilities , , and are granted to the Architect of the Edict of Adumbral. Along with this, any Nomological Edict grants its user a smoother pathway towards Reality, granting them an increase in the speed of their Realm Progression by +100,000%, an increase of +1,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 1% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current progression for the Nomological Edict of Adumbral: 1% The Nomological Edict of Adumbral! A type of authority that was undeniable unless matched by another Edict- and this was what made those who didn''t have Edicts not even be capable of fighting those that did! They just simply didn''t have the essence to be able to deny the authority of an Edict. As for Noah''s edict, it was filled with shadows and death as it stemmed from the Champion that had originated the Supreme Necromancer System, Noah focusing on the details of this edict as his eyes brightened at the mention of the 50 million percent increase to True Annihtory Damage! It meant any enemy standing before him would be that much closer to being obliterated with a single move as after looking at this, Noah focused on the first ability granted by this Edict as he prepared to utilize it in action soon. :: The Architect of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral has perfect control over darkness and shadows. This applies to literal concepts of darkness and shadows as well as the abstruse concepts of the darkness within the hearts of Existences. The Essence of Adumbral can be used to manipte and forge Darkness and shadows to the imagination of the user, being capable of releasing attacks that deal +50,000,000% True Annihtory Soul Damage and utilize darkness and shadows for defense as an increase of +50,000,000% True Defence is granted¡­ A simple description of a terrifying ability that truly epassed many things! The Maniption of all things in the darkness and shadows¡­it was something utterly terrific as Noah wanted to see it at this very moment. And he truly did just that as in the Second Reality, Noah and his Undead Legion led by the Chimeric Undead Beast Kings were facing a badly beaten up Grand Primordial Beast that had not given up just yet, and just when one expected Noah''s Beast Kings toy out thest set of attacks¡­ OOOOM! Their bodies released waves of power as they pulled back. Instead, Noah alone floated forward towards the terrifying figure of the Grand Primordial Beast that bared its deadly teeth towards him. The Beast Kings it was fearful of. But the existence that was merely a Dao Sentinel? Such a being- it could kill! The Beast Kings had received themand of their Master as they trusted him fully, but Europa watched the scene urring with questions rising from her mind as in the next moment¡­ THRUM! Unique waves of ck erupted from Noah like a tide as they caused everything in the surroundings to feel a heavy weight of oppression! "This¡­!" Europa had her crimson lips parted in an o shape as she stared at the implosion of a concept she did not see on Noah before- the concept of an Edict! ¡­! The Grand Primordial Beast felt its courage be diminished instantly as behind the figure it considered nothing, a world of shadows that threatened to consume everything bloomed¡­ Chapter 303 - Establishing a Nomological Edict! II Chapter 303 - Establishing a Nomological Edict! II A power to manipte the shadows under Noah''s Nomological Edict of Adumbral that only required one''s imagination, what they wished to manipte darkness and shadows into only being limited to the amount of mana they could supply. With Noah at the very center, the white world of the small Primordial Sea Behind him became dyed utterly ck as a world of shadows bloomed to cover the entirety of the sight of the Grand Primordial Beast, the vast cluster of shadows forming into small minuscule raindrops of utter darkness as they were filled with a deadly essence of a Nomological Edict. Noah waved his index finger lightly as the innumerable drops of darkness rained down onto the Grand Primordial Beast at a speed the other could not actually follow! SHAA! A sh of darkness. The light in the eyes of the Grand Primordial Beast faded. Its body was riddled by countless holes as the sharp and deadly essence of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral that held dozens of millions in percentages for True Annihtory Soul and Physical Damage could not be defended against by an existence that didn''t have another Edict. At the same time, Adumbral was a GREATER Nomological Edict as from the knowledge Noah had amassed from Christoph and Europa, the ranks of Edicts within the Archaic Tribal Lands that the Champion oversaw were Minor and then Greater! Noah''s first forged Edict was actually not the lowest rank of Minor as he jumped straight to Greater, it''s level and power being something that currently made his strength undeniable within the Universal Fment Realm unless he met an existence with billions of Universes that might be able to defend with the aid of another Edict. BZZZT! The moment that the Grand Primordial Beast lost its life under Noah''s single attack, its Origin became covered by the authority of a terrific ck light as it was being ushered into the ranks of the Undead Vassals under the Supreme Necromancer System! While this urred, the piercing voice of a certain being echoed out. "Wowowo¡­hold on there. Did you just forge an edict without even so much as a sign while sitting on top of your undead?" A sharp light of interest covered the ck-haired Europa as she came out from the folds of space, not knowing that Noah had his soul stretched out across Realities as a portion of his soul couldprehend something while he utilized it a momentter in another Reality! Noah reeled in the essence of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral into his body as he replied calmly while sending amand for his Undead Vassals to go towards the runic magic circle that would direct them to the next floor, "It wasn''t too hard to put a fewws and daos together." WAA! His blue eyes released a dominating light as he spoke as such, causing Europa tough lightly as her surroundings became brighter for it. "Getting arrogant aren''t we? Okay! The next stop after you finish this Rift will be towards one of the four Archaic Kings under Little Ragnar thatprehended their own Edicts. We''ll see how you match up then!" ¡­! Noah''s eyes shed sharply at such words as he wasn''t fearful, simply thinking that in the next few days or weeks, he would just be getting his hands on an existence with an Edict as the moment he did so¡­he would also gain this Edict himself! But for now, he merely nodded his head while rushing towards the runic magic circle to finish the Grand Primordial Rift with as little time as possible- his hands beckoning to the new Undead Grand Primordial Beast. At the same time, Noah looked into his status sheet as he observed the details of the other skills that came along with the Nomological Edict of Adumbral. :: Darkness is pervasive as the Architect of Adumbral can mold it literally and figuratively. This ability allows one to seal darkness within the hearts of other existences as in extension, they gain the capability to seal their Origins. Sealed existences fall under the will of the Architect of Adumbral as they fall into a pit of imprisonment that they cannot break out of¡­ :: The Blood of the Architect of Adumbral bes more in tune with darkness and shadows as they are granted 25,000,000% Increased Regeneration Speed with the use of the Essence of Adumbral. So long as darkness exists, it will be very hard for you to perish! Powerful sounding skills were reflected before his eyes as Noah took them in strides, considering and to be the most powerful and useful ones to him for now. And this usefulness was reflected before his eyes as the moment that he came face to face with the Grand Primordial Beast within the next floor, his body bubbled with the Essence of Adumbral as he cast once more, waves of Mana surging from the origins of the Chimeric Beast Kings behind him as it flowed into him! Thereafter, his blue eyes became tinged with ck as he imagined for the darkness spreading out around him to form into humongous dark spears that barreled towards the surprised Grand Primordial Beast, this creature not even being capable of defending as the essence of a Nomological Edict ruptured all of its defenses! ROAAR! A bellow of disbelief echoed out as within seconds¡­the light of a Grand Primordial Beast dimmed as it was enveloped in the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System seconds after. This¡­was how powerful a being with a Nomological Edict was whenpared to one that didn''t have such a profound concept! Europa watched such a fantastic scene with shining eyes as she was still trying to wrap her head around how this being managed toprehend an Edict from nowhere, her Primordial Eye of the Perennial making sure not to leave his body as it scrutinized even the flow of Mana coursing through him! Chapter 304 - Millions Within Seconds! I Chapter 304 - Millions Within Seconds! I The Grand Primordial Rift was different from a Lesser one as it had 5 floors, each of them either being seas of Ruination or Primordial Essence as a single Grand Primordial Beast could be found within. After getting his hands on the Nomological Edict of Adumbral, Noah became the main attacker as within seconds, the Grand Primordial Beast they faced would fall! Even his Chimeric Beast Kings had taken a back seat as within less than a minute, the Grand Primordial Rift was cleared as from it, Noah gained 5 new Undead Primordial Beasts at the level of Grand. OOOOM! After entirely destroying the Beasts within and even taking away the source of their souls to make them his Undead Vassals, everyone within this Dimensional Rift was kicked out as Noah appeared in the clear skies above the Helios Tribes Cluster to watch the glimmering portal of this Universal Fment Rank Rift fracture and disappear. Below them, the vast clusters of Tribes with existences below the level of Paragons watched what happened in the skies with awe as they saw the figures of their Chieftain Christoph standing atop an Undead Primordial Beast that along with the Dao Warmongers and Antiquities¡­they all seemed to be under the banner of the single blue eyes existence at the very forefront! They didn''t fully grasp what was happening, but just the fact that they wouldn''t be living under the gateway of a Primordial Rift caused their hearts to be at extreme ease! This was just a byproduct of Noah''s actions as after the Helios Tribes Cluster and the clearing of this Grand Primordial Rift, Noah spoke out to the open space calmly. "I need to consolidate my strength and utilize my treasures before moving out once more." He seemingly voiced out to no one, but the melodiousugh of Europa came out from the folds of space as she spoke sonorously. "Don''t take too long. I''m getting more and more curious to know exactly how the System I designed matches up with yours." ¡­! Her voice was yful as not a hint of the danger this being posed could be heard, Noah''s eyes shing with arcs of blue light as his curiosity was piqued when it came to the System that the Champion known as Ragnar had! His eyes retained their calm as he voiced out calmly. "What type of System is it?" A bold question echoed out as hidden within the folds of space, Europa raised her brows as her eyes shed brilliantly. "I''ll give you the name of the System that I gave Little Ragnar if you tell me more about yours." Tit for tat! The Primordial seemed to still be taking things light as she didn''t threaten Noah for this information, and Noah already knew that she had been watching him and collecting information on everything he did- the major things she still didn''t know pertaining to the Idle Gaming System! "The System allowing me to turn all those I kill into Undead is the Supreme Necromancer System! With it, I control existences even after they perish as evenbining them is not an issue." Noah spoke calmly as he liked at the rows of Chimeric Undead Beast Kings behind him, Europa pping her hands in her hidden fold of space as she replied with enthusiasm. "What a ridiculous sounding name¡­just which of the Third Generation Primordial designed such a System? Haa¡­" Her voice was tinged with frustration towards the end as it continued soon after! "Very well. I''ll let you know that Little Ragnar has¡­the Ultimate Evolution System!" RUMBLE! The Ultimate Evolution System! This was what the Champion of Reality held- and when Noah heard its dominant sounding name, all he could think about was how in the future toe¡­he would dominate this Champion of Reality and take this System to be his third one. That was all! "What do you think? Ah, if you knew of the perks I designed to bend Reality that go towards forging the Ultimate hunter through the process of Evolution¡­" Her yful voice reverberated in Noah''s mind as his eyes shone sharply, making the choice to continue elevating his power crazily that even a being with such a System that stood at the Cosmic Realm would not be able to be a bother to him! "Then¡­I shall work to consolidate my power before moving out!" In the skies above the Helios Tribes Cluster, Noah waved his hands as he called forth a Mind Realm, this being something that Europa could see through easily, but it provided a level of privacy against anything else. Within the vast space of the Mind Realm, Noah pulled out a Primordial Heart as he began to absorb its stupendous essence under the watch of a Primordial- but this was merely one of his bodies as this particr one wasn''t even doing a tenth of what his body in the Third Reality was carrying out! Within the Third Reality, Noah upied the body of its Champion as after achieving the Nomological Edict of Adumbral, he had begun doing something unique that he didn''t have the capability of doing before. He was currently located within the nearly endless Ruination Sea of this Reality as all around him, over 500 glimmering Primordial Hearts were spread out! They shone with an intense color that was actually not drowned out by the red of the crimson sea- but by the ck color of the utter darkness that spread from Noah! He was actually utilizing Eribokinesis to spread the essence of Adumbral to cover everything, and he manipted this essence to connect with him as his own body was half humanoid and half made of shadows. The goal for all this was for Noah to wondrously be absorbing the essence of all of theid out Primordial Hearts simultaneously, where his body undted with amand and the dark essence of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral that covered everything in his surroundings¡­began to suck out the essence of the Primordial Hearts and bring them to him! Darkness flowed into the glimmering Primordial Hearts as they sucked out its essence and ryed it back to their Master, Noah feeling the surge of essence rushing into him like a raging river as within his Origin, Splendiferous Universes began to bloom crazily. First it was tens of thousands every second. Then hundreds of thousands. Soon enough¡­the ster and awe inspiring light of millions of Universes being forged within Noah''s Origin could be seen! Chapter 305 - Millions Within Seconds! II Chapter 305 - Millions Within Seconds! II As he saw that at the depths of his Origin he was actually forming genuine Universes by the millions, he nked out for a second at such a Reality and how vastly different it was from just months ago! He was a simple human being. He had not transmigrated. He only read about fantasy and beings flying across the skies and shooting from their hands beams of lights. Yet here he was just monthster as death brought him to an entirely new ''world'', and he was now at a stage where at his core, Universes were being forged. He surpassed forging stars, surpassed forging ck holes, quasars, and even Gxies as he was now forging millions of Universes within his Origin! For an existence like him who didn''t know any better months ago, he was utterly thankful for this opportunity as he wanted to put in his best effort not to lose it. Even an existence like the Primordial Europa were only specks in what Noah expected to be his grand journey. Even though she was both a challenge and an opportunity now, she was just that. Noah realized that if he had the potential to go from a simple human being to somebody that could forge Millions of Universes, then achieving the stage that Europa had achieved or being capable of going even higher was not an impossibility! He could do it! What was Cosmic Fment Realm other than a stage he could reach with enough loot? And whatever Realm lies above that? It mattered not to him with two Systems and many more that he would get under his banner soon enough. Time passed as Noah fully absorbed the Primordial Hearts he gained from Idle Mode,ing to a stop when he very quickly achieved 38 Million Splendiferous Universes. 38 Million from a measly few hundreds just days ago! OOOM! His body and soul exploded with power as he gained the feeling of being Invincible before anyone else, but he knew it was a false feeling as he had a Primordial beside him who could still rip him apart with a simple change of her emotions. "Step by step." He craned his neck as he sighed out while enjoying the feeling of power, his hands waving forth as the Undead Legions stashed in the Dimension of Death were called out once more in the Ruination Realm. In this Third Reality, Noah had already taken over the young champion as the only enemies for him were the Primordial Beasts and whatever other powers might have developed within the many Cosmos in this Reality. He still wanted to dominate all of these Cosmos and grow his Undead Legions to a terrific level, as the more influence he had, the more Marks of Antiquity he gained to also help in forging Splendiferous Universes! The body of Ezekiel would continue this task as in the Second Reality¡­.Noah''s figure rose from the skies of the Helios Tribes Cluster with his Origin brimming with power. "I don''t know how the hell you just added dozens of millions of Splendiferous Universes in your Origin¡­are you sure you''re not a Higher Existence ying with me?" The voice of Europa echoed out doubtfully as she stared at Noah''s robust origin and soul, the term Higher Existence being thrown out as Niah raised his brows as asked curiously to obtain even more information from this being. "What do Higher Existences have to do with the forging of Splendiferous Universes?" His voice echoed out powerfully as Europa appeared from her hidden folds of space, her sonorous voice echoing out with sharpness. "Higher Existences like me that have True Blood coursing through their veins can passively forge 100 Million Splendiferous Universes daily¡­Lower Existences like you cannotpare!" WAA! Noah''s mind buzzed with shock as this information came in, the reality of existences being capable of passively forging 100 Million Splendiferous Universes every single day being utterly ridiculous when anyone thought about it. "How does one be a Higher Existence?" He probed even more as his Origin buzzed with possibilities, Europa confirming her thoughts as she replied with raised eyes while shaking her head. "It''s too hard for any Lower Existences to break through their limited destinies to be Higher Existences. You would have to forge many Edicts and thenplete them in order to obtain mes of Edicts that can grant a change in your Bloodline and generate True Blood for you slowly¡­it is an insurmountable task as even the most destined Lower Existences can only manage to forge a single Edict in their lifetimes¡­much less dozens of them!" ¡­! With a gaze of pride and while puffing out her chest, Europa continued. "This is a natural barrier that exists between Higher and Lower Existences! Unless you hold a pristine and ancient Bloodline of one such as I- a Primordial, you are actually blessed by bing a Higher Existence at birth!" RUMBLE! "Haha, can your mind wrap around that? I was born as a Higher Existence due to my Bloodline as just three yearster, I achieved the Cosmic Realm since I passively forged 100 Million Splendiferous Universes daily. The Realm that is the peak of most Champions across the myriad of Realities is what Primordials achieve just years after their birth¡­" ¡­! Noah''s origin surged in waves as he heard the words of Europa, never expecting that there was such a tremendous gap between him and the truly powerful beings outside the vast Realities! He never expected to see existences born into a whole different tier of ranking at birth as they forged a Cosmos in a mere 3 years, while others took millions of years to achieve the same thing. ''Wait¡­'' When he arrived at this point, his thoughts came to a stop. He went over his words again as he recalled how long it had taken him to arrive from having no realm to where he was right now! It had barely been months as he was already at the Universal Fment Realm, and how long did he think it would take before he achieved the Cosmic Realm with his Idle Gaming System?! He was sure that it wouldn''t be any more than a few months, much less a year or 2! ''Or even that anomaly in another Reality who formed entered Universal Fment while talking to me¡­Noah Osmont- how long did it take for him to reach that Realm? How close was he to reaching the Cosmic Realm at this point? Such a question buzzed in his mind as he realized when it came to achieving higher ranks, beings like he and Osmont were in now way lesser to these Higher Existences as in some ways, they were even faster! So what if Primordials were Higher Existences at birth and achieved the Cosmic Realm in three years? Noah would achieve it in less than a year as he would stand at the same rank as these beings soon enough! Chapter 306 - Grand Aspirations! Chapter 306 - Grand Aspirations! This dominant thought echoed across Noah''s heart as it caused his seas of destiny to rage madly, a profound sense of confidence rising within him when he had this epiphany. He looked at the smug-looking Europa who finished her prideful words about her race as she expected him to be shocked and look towards her with reverence, but Noah simply gazed at her like he would gaze at any other being! It was a gaze one would give when staring at a normal human being or an existence multiple levels above them- no emotions were carried within it. "Hmph!" Europa saw the light of confidence and arrogance in his eyes even after she spoke of the power of Primordials as she turned annoyed. "We reach the Cosmic Realm in less than three years, and do you know what happens after that? How one reaches the Cosmic Fment Realm?" A sh of prideful light shed within Europa''s eyes as she actually saw the normally calm and emotionless face of Noah reveal a light smile while he took the bait. "And how exactly does this happen?" "..." Europa''s eyes nearly released sharp lights that bisected the surrounding space itself as she voiced out sonorously. "One has to refine their Cosmic Core and strengthen its barrier before stepping into the Cosmic Fment Realm¡­the realm that the vast Majority of Primordials and other Paramount Bloodline Races get stuck on for all their lives! But Primordials¡­they simply need another three years before they step into the Cosmic Fment Realm. The power of True Blood to generate 100 million Splendiferous Universes does not fade away as after sessful refinement of the Cosmic Core, a Cosmic Fment Core will bloom¡­." The secrets of the Realms above were revealed as Noah nodded lightly, his voice actually echoing out as after his realization of just how terrifying his capabilities were even whenpared to Primordials, he became much freer in his words and actions! "So after Higher Existences step into the Cosmic Fment Realm, they simply forge another Cosmos every three years. Going by how one needs to achieve 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes to form a Cosmos¡­I am guessing one needs to forge 100 Billion Cosmos within the Cosmic Fment Rank before they can achieve the next stage of power?" RUMBLE! Europa raised her eyes as they shed with an indiscernible light, her silence acting as an agreement for Noah''s words as even though he was smiling, he was utterly shocked! The smiling expression on Europa was wiped away as she gazed up to the skies of the Helios Tribes Cluster, her gaze piercing through theyers of space and even the Ruination Sea outside as she seemed to be looking at a ce extremely far away! "To forge 100 Billion Cosmos and even get close to the next Realm¡­one needs to go through 300 Billion Years. An utterly horrific period of time that if one does not stimte their Cosmos formation through treasures or battle, reaching it is utterly impossible." ¡­! "After all, most cosmic fments forged within existences cannot beat the river of time to reach hundreds of billions of years before one perishes. This¡­is just the savage nature of Reality!" Fantastical words left Europa''s mouth as Noah continued to have his mindset expanded, realigning that even the truly powerful experts could still not beat time when one thought of billions of years. Everyone sought to live for as long as they could, but even those at the Cosmic Fment Realm were not able to do so. "Well, that''s just a reality that many of us had to ovee. But I don''t know where your confidence ising from, Rogue Champion!" Noah was taken out of his stupor as he caught Europa''s gaze once more. Treasures, battles, and resources. This was what even the Higher Existences like Primordials have to go through for them to go towards achieving higher stages of power. He¡­needed exactly this as his rising confidence within his origin was nearly spilling out at this moment when he thought of his capabilities! Where was his confidenceing from? It came from prior results and the Systems he had¡­and the Systems he would have! WAA! His eyes released arcs of blue light at the mere thought of it as when he thought about what he had to do, he decided to be bolder and even wilder than he was currently, as this would mean he would achieve the next stage of power even faster. When he thought about this, his eyes shed as he looked towards Europa and spoke out calmly. "You said the next stop is one of the four Archaic Kings? What if we changed this up and made an even more exciting show for you?" His words wereced with power as he wanted to use the unique nature of this Primordial to bring forth a stupendous possibility into fruition! Europa looked at him carefully as she squinted her eyes while nodding, Noah continuing with his words. "What if we truly make it exciting as instead of facing a single Archaic King, I will face all four of them! 4 Existences each with their own Edicts as above them¡­only the Champion Ragnar remains!" ¡­! His words caused the sky to tremble as Europa''s eyes released sparks of golden light, her gaze bing filled with excitement as Noah continued! "I just don''t know how you will be able to keep away the gaze of the Champion for me to do so¡­" A challenge. Noah actually threw out a challenge to the Primordial Europa after enticing her with a glorious show, the eyes of this being shing with light as she puffed out her chest and spoke confidently. "Hmph, isn''t it just to keep away the gaze of a Lower Existence? I already know what to do, Rogue Champion!" The skies vibrated with her words as her ck hair danced wildly, her curvaceous figure illuminated in the light as she then locked her eyes on Noah, ideas seemingly leaking from her mind that she had to get out. "Since I can forge Primordial Rifts, I will simply form an entire Isted Dimension where only those below the Cosmic Realm can enter¡­and I will entice the four Archaic Kings with Treasures that nobody in the Universal Fment Realm can deny! Mmmm, what shall I call it¡­." Noah''s heart began to beat wildly as he didn''t think his words would work out so perfectly, a set of events he couldn''t have imagined ying out as Europa eximed as if she had a grand idea. "I shall call it the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension¡­and let little Ragnar know that the Cosmic Core of an Archaic Beast lies at its very center for his Kings to try iming! Haha, then I can watch a battle royal between you and the Archaic Kings as we can see whether your confidence will get you killed¡­or something even more interesting happens!" ¡­! Chapter 307 - The Birth of the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension! I Chapter 307 - The Birth of the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension! I The Primordial Europa imed that she would forge the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension, and so she would as she was an existence that kept her word! Noah wanted to challenge and exceed himself in what he could do as his confidence rose, and he utilized the unique mindset of this Primordial to create a unique scenario where even the Champion this being made did not know what would be happening. Even the Champion of Reality¡­did not know that the Primordial above him would actually y games like this as it was a terrifying concept to think about! "Haha, let''s prepare the stage! I''ll collect all the powerful archaic beasts dwelling throughout these Cosmos and then¡­" The sonorous voice of Europa echoed out as her body buzzed with light, Noah watching as an instantter- her body divided in two as there were now two curvaceous looking existences that could cause the fall of kingdoms from the face alone. One of them teleported away as only a single one remained, her smile utterly enchanting as she stared at Noah with eyes filled with resplendence. ¡ª The Archaic Tribal Lands were vast and endless as the world that was the size of a Cosmos was extremely unique, with the Tribes spread throughout it being nearly endless. But there was still a core center within this world that also acted as the core of the entire cluster of Cosmos that fell under the Great Chieftain- Ragnar! The core area where the Champion of Reality himself resided was a resplendent Empire that was known as the Archaic Empire, where some might be confused as to why the corends of the Great Chieftain had the name of the Archaic Beasts who roamed the dangerous forests of the Archaic Tribal Lands. But none of them knew that this existence itself actually evolved from an Archaic Beast! The Archaic Empire was filled with grand structures of exquisite beauty forged from stone and bones, its size alone exceeding that of multiple Gxies as countless quintillions of races and existences moved within. It was a location that was established as the ce of utter safety as the Champion of Reality resided here, but today¡­a change urred on the edges of this Archaic Empire. OOOOM! A few light years away from the grand Empire, the skies began to split apart as golden light gushed out madly- the light enticing all the powerful beings within the Archaic Empire as when their awareness rushed out of their minds and focused on this light, they saw the formation of a glimmering golden portal that released waves of profound power! The golden portal seemed to release a treasured light that would entice all those gazing towards it, growing to be a few light years in size as it released waves of golden light thereafter that caused the very space itself to shine with splendor. "What is this¡­!" The hearts of all those who watched the formation of this golden portal shook as they sensed enticing waves of power, and before any of them could move, a blue haired existence suddenly warped to the skies near this rift as he looked at it calmly! This blue haired being was draped with silk robes that showed off his sculpted figure, his blue eyes carrying a sense of profound power and confidence as while he appeared in the skies calmly, four powerful auras rose from the Archaic Empire behind him as they screamed of the power of Edicts! These four auras very quickly came to stand behind the blue haired man as these were the four Archaic Kings! Two were curvaceous women adorned in gold and red, and two men with wild and unruly hair already adorned in Primordial Beast Bone Battle armor! "Chieftain, what is this?" One of them Archaic Kings adorned in Primordial Beast Battlearmor spoke out, his body releasing oppressive waves of power that caused the very skies to shake. The blue haired being stood in front of the Archaic Kings as just as he was about to reply, a piercing voice he knew all too well entered his mind. "Little Ragnar! That golden portal is the entrance into the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension that holds within it great danger¡­as well as powerful treasures that are capable of forging another Cosmic Realm Existence under you¡­if they can defeat the dangers within!" ¡­! The eyes of the Champion of Reality shed with sharpness as this voice rang out in his mind and continued on. "The only condition is that those under the Cosmic Realm are the ones allowed to enter! The enemies consist of Archaic Beasts and another contender for the same treasures who has as much power if not more than the level of your Archaic Kings¡­so have them make their own decisions and understand the risks if they choose to delve in¡­" The voice freely let loose its excitement as the powerful figure of Ragnar sighed, nodding lightly as with eyes full of confidence and power, he spoke out to the Archaic Kings behind him while scrutinizing the portal that would lead to the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension. "This is a new Dimension that can be considered a trial for you all, with the prize being elevation to the Cosmic Realm! But the dangers are heavy¡­" The voice of the existence known as Ragnar was thick and ancient as it caused the 4 existences around him brimming with the power of an Edict or two around each of them to release waves of powerful light, their gazes having long since locked onto the golden portal as just from their eyes¡­one could already see their decision! On this day, the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension was established as within¡­one side would try to fight for the goal of a stupendous treasure, while the other side fought to subjugate everything within the Dimension! Chapter 308 - The Birth of the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension! II Chapter 308 - The Birth of the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension! II The vibrant voice of the Primordial Europa echoed out as Noah found himself teleported into a vibrant new Dimension. The skies were tinged with a haze of gold as enormous mountain peaks filled with fantastically glowing vegetation could be seen, terrific auras of powerful existences sensed along the treacherous yet beautiful mountains! In the golden skies, one could even see huge Beasts that Noah could only attribute them to enormous flying dinosaurs that had Universes rotating madly for their Origins. "Archaic Beasts¡­" The Archaic Beasts that were hidden in the dangerous and forbidden forests within the Archaic Tribal Lands! At this moment in time, the vast majority of these powerful Beasts actually found themselves brought into this Dimension simr to Noah, many of them terrifically at the Universal Fment level as they brimmed with power. Across the vast golden mountainous ins Noah could see, they all led and pointed to a central mountain that rose to the absolute peak of the skies as it seemed to be taller than everything- the roars of Beasts most prevalent around this Mountain. Hearing the roars around her, Europa''s small but exquisite figure twirled around before giving a bow- seemingly admiring her own work as her voice continued. "The Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension! It''s nowhere near some of the Treasure Dimensions one can find in some Realities¡­and not even close to anything one would find in ces like the Forsaken Treasure Realities- but it is the highest of what can be made with the quality of lower Existences and treasures within this Reality!" WAA! Her words were filled with boundless information as always, Noah raising his brows while gazing around the seemingly endless terrain of golden mountains around him. "The Forsaken Treasure Realities?" A feature of the Idle Gaming System rose in his mind when he heard these words as he couldn''t help but ask the Primordial. "Hmm? It''s just Realities that many beings fight over, but only those who have enved Destiny Goblins can really enjoy their time and obtain a lot of treasures. Someone like you can forget about even sniffing those Realities!" Her words held a tone of mockery as Noah merely nodded. Unique things like Forsaken Treasure Realities were those he put in the back of his mind as locations to visit and expand his influence, and he would do so even with the words of Europa! She saw the light of confidence in his eyes as she shook her head and continued. "Mainly those in the Cosmic Fment Realm can even force their way into such Realities as unless you break your inborn restrictions and be a Higher Existence- you can even forget about freely traversing realities¡­even though you are an anomaly in this sense¡­" Herst words finished thoughtfully as she gazed at the rogue Champion of another Reality thaty before her, shaking her head as she fully had not understood this being! She refocused on the task at hand though as she got back on the topic of the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension. "I''m a fair Higher Existence, so the four Archaic Kings will truly be capable of fighting for a treasure that can elevate one of them to the Cosmic Realm if they can beat you- but the prize for you are the 4 Archaic Kings themselves if you can manage to beat them!" "...no treasure to achieve the Cosmic Realm for me?" Noah couldn''t help but ask with aid back smile as he already knew the answer, his mind still buzzing from the information about Treasure Realities. "Hmph, I''m already doing so much for you just for my amusement- don''t test your luck! Just put on an ecstatic show and let me see whatever mysteries you have hidden, and we shall see just how far you will go." Her words dripped with power as they echoed out and continued. "You and all the other contenders that enter Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension will be drawn in towards the Archaic Mountain light years from here¡­we shall see whoes out victorious on this mountain!" Europa gazed at the shape of the faraway mountain that overshadowed everything, Noah giving a light nod as he prepared. Of course for him, the preparation was to simply wait in Idle Mode as his soul absorbed more and more of the Primordial Hearts- and he also had to put aside an evenrger portion of Primordial Hearts for nothing other than¡­the broken Sword of Shattered Reality that utilized Primordial Hearts as ones of the materials to help it recover! The Sword seemed to require a number that was even more than what Noah would need to achieve the Cosmic Realm, and even then it didn''t seem it would be fully recovered as the road ahead was arduous and could only be made better by gaining stupendous amounts of Loot through the Idle Gaming System. The more Primordial Rifts he cleared, the faster his strength would rise. ''Let the Archaic Kingse¡­and let''s see just how many Edicts I will be getting my hands on!'' BZZT! His surroundings shook as his eyes released powerful arcs of blue light, the Essence of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral pulsing from him as immense darkness threatened to spew out! The Archaic Kings were the ticket to all the Primordial Rifts lying freely across the Archaic Tribal Lands, where if Noah managed to subjugate them all¡­he could move freely to clear all of them while strengthening himself to take down the Champion of Reality that was in the Cosmic Realm. ROAAR! The roar of Archaic Beasts shook Noah out of his thoughts as his eyes sharpened, waving his hands to call out his Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings as he rose to stand atop one of them,manding them to make their way across the vast golden and mountainous terrain towards the tall lent mountain within these Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension- the location where the four Archaic Kings were bound to flock towards as he would be there waiting for them! Chapter 309 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! I Chapter 309 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! I A dimension that allowed them to fight for supreme treasures that would elevate them from the Universal Fment Rank and into the Cosmic Rank! It was bound to be filled with dangers as they gathered all their forces, the Kings agreeing to enter the vibrantly shining golden portal in a few days. The news was spread out far across the Archaic Tribal Lands as the Kings called upon the Chieftains from tribes like Helios Tribes Cluster, Noah receiving information about all of this as he was already calmly residing and waiting within the Ancestral Treasure Land! His Chimeric Primordial Beast Kings were spread out across the lush golden mountains as they were covered by the lustrous leaves of the ancient trees around them, with the 5 figures of the newly obtained Undead Grand Primordial Beasts missing as Noah was actually taking them through a training session in the Tower of Champions. He had gradually been ascending this feature of the Idle Gaming System as he scrutinized which Dimensions it was connected to and where all the beasts he found within stemmed from, and he was steamrolling through the floors of dimensions with the body of Ezekiel whenever he wasn''t expanding his influence across his Reality. The aim was for Noah to see if he would obtain another set of Inherent Skills ore across terrifyingly powerful beasts the further he ascended the floors, or if things were drastically different since he lost the Idle Gaming System before putting back together the razed Primordial Epitaph with the Essence of Reality. The broken Sword of Shattered Reality would hungrily devour any Primordial Hearts that Noah ced near it, the golden sheen it released bing ever so brighter as slowly- the jagged edges of this golden sword began to close! There were many things for him to do as he needed time to do it all, and the few days the Archaic Kings decided to utilize to collect their forces before they explored the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension gave him just the time he needed to consolidate his power. The more time that more, the more loot he received! This was something that would never change. He simply remained idle as Primordial Hearts continued to fill his inventory before he devoured them or fed them to the Sword of Shattered Reality, and he was using the chance that he received from the Dao Sentinel Christoph being called to reinforce one of the Archaic Kings to actually clear the Rifts along the way. The distance from the Helios Tribes Cluster to the center of the Archaic Empire was extremely vast, with many other Tribes spread out across this stretch ofnd that was too many light years in size. A portion of his soul upied the Dao Sentinel as while he made his way towards the Archain Empire from now and in the next few days, all of the Lesser and Grand Primordial Rifts located within the tribes situated along the way would fall under Noah''s hands- along with the powerful existences thaty within these Tribes! With his abilities and the fact that he already had his hands on the GREATER Nomological Edict of Adumbral, the battles he faced under the guise of Christoph were not even something worthy of talking about as Rifts were cleared in less than a minute, and Tribes had their Antiquities, Dao Warmongers, or any Dao Sentinel Chieftains they had all be subjugated under Noah. The river of time flowed as time passed, three days passing in the blink of an eye. A mere three days! Three days was an extremely short period of time for some and an extremely long period of time for others who had lived for millions of years. For Noah, it was a period of time that he made tremendous progress in the number of Primordial Rifts he had under him, as well as the number of Undead Primordial Beasts he had under hismand! There were many clusters of Tribes that his forces passed to arrive to the Archaic Empire- and Noah cleared the Rifts within these tribes as his Subjugations then went forward to join the ranks of beings within the armies of the Four Archaic Kings that were about to delve into the Ancestral Treasure Dimension. Within the period of just three days, his influence had vastly spread as another 2 Dao Sentinels were added to his fold- along with dozens of Dao Warmongers and over 300 Antiquities! But none of thispared to the number of Universes that he had forged in this short period of three days. On the first day, he achieved 100 Million Splendiferous Universes as his Origin showed an illusory scene of utter splendor. By the end of the second day¡­his Idle Loot wasing in droves as he was able to forge another 200 Million Splendiferous Universes! At the end of this third day, the amount of Primordial Hearts he had devoured had granted him 400 million more Universes. That was a total of 700 Million Splendiferous Universes that now rotated powerfully within his Origin, with the rate of progress he had daily amounting to 400 Million Splendiferous Universes daily. So what if Higher Existence could forge 100 Million Universes passively! What if Primordials were born as Higher Existences! The rate of his progress could be considered unparalleled as he would not need long to achieve the Cosmic Realm! This wasn''t even ounting for his collection of Primordial Hearts continuing to increase in the future toe as he added more Rifts, the rate of Loot he received in Idle Mode beingpounded. He saw this first hand as at this moment, he was gazing at his Idle Gaming Interface that showed the loot he was receiving in Idle Mode while he waited for the entrance of the four Archaic Kings. [Idle Loot] :: +90,000,000,000 Idle Exp every 1 minute, +296 Lesser Primordial Hearts every 1 minute, 15 Grand Primordial Hearts every 1 minute, +6,395 Units of Primordial Beast Blood every 1 minute, +6,395 Units of Primordial Beast Bones every 1 minute¡­ ''Hundreds of Primordial Hearts every minute that amount to roughly 400 Million Splendiferous Universes daily¡­'' A wondrous Reality was shown on the Idle Gaming Interface as while he enjoyed gazing at it, his eyes shed with their cerulean blue light as he sensed changes within the Ancestral Treasure Dimension, his Subjugations contained and hidden within the armies of the four Archaic Kings finally making their appearance into this Dimension! Chapter 310 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! II Chapter 310 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! II His hair shone with intense darkness from the Nomological Edict of Adumbral as his eyes were intensely blue, his chest showing a vibrant illusory Universal Fment that swirled with 700 Million Splendiferous Universes! He was achieving an extremely high stage of power in a short period of time as he would hit the 1 billion mark in just a day, but his eyes shone with sharpness as he sensed the entrance of new beings within the Archaic Ancestral Treasure Dimension he had been residing in. It was a stupendous collection of 4 armies with an Archaic King at the very forefront, and Noah closed his eyes to sense all the Subjugated beings he had hidden throughout their armies as he saw the movements of these four forces that spread away from each other to explore the vast Ancestral Treasure Dimension while massacring any Archaic Beasts they came across. "Alright¡­" He rose from his position as he stretched, the broken Sword of Shattered Reality swirling around him majestically as he began walking towards one of the armies led by an Archaic King calmly and openly! ¡ª The Archaic King of Frost. He was a burly man that was huge in stature, his eyes alone releasing bursts of profoundly cold light as his Origin vibrated with the power of a few hundred million Universes! But this wasn''t what made him the most unique- it was the aura of the Nomological Edict swirling around him that sent any nearby Archaic Beasts running. With every hair on his body glistening white and ice being left behind him in the skies as he floated by, only a few powerful Dao Sentinels were graced with the honor to follow behind him as one of them spoke out. "Where are the so called dangers of this Ancestral Treasure Dimension? We brought a whole army, but we have only been met with a bunch of weak Beasts!" WAA! Words filled with boldness echoed out as the Dao Sentinels behind him nodded, but the Archaic King of Frost snorted sharply as his boorish and cold voice echoed out. "The words of the Great Chieftain are not to be trifled! If he says there are great dangers that could be perilous to even more- you must be on guard at all times." His words were thew as the moment the Dao Sentinels heard them, they nodded seriously as they continued to move through the gold tinged skies while paying attention to their surroundings, an army of a few million existences following behind them with Dao Warmongers and Antiquities in the lead! Among the Antiquities and Warmongers, Noah had his Subjugations moving within as their sights intersected at this moment, his figure appearing on the horizon with the Sword of Shattered Reality rotating around him. "You''re finally starting? The past three days have been so stale with nothing interesting to watch!" As he walked towards the oing army led by an Archaic King, Noah heard the voice of Europa tingling in his mind as he felt her terrifying scenes focus on the sword rotating around him. "To think you even had your hands on a broken thing like that¡­if I want a magnanimous Primordial, I would have robbed you, you know?" The buzzing voice was incessant like a thousand bees, Noah doing his best to ignore it as he proceeded forward. The pride of the Primordial didn''t bring herself down to steal things from him as she didn''t pay too much attention to the broken Primordial Relic, allowing Noah to move freely as the Dao Sentinels and Archaic King in front of him finally swept the golden mountain below and found his figure! "There!" The shouts were vibrant as essence burst out freely, many gazes locking onto Noah on the ground as multiple Dao Sentinels came to surround him in the skies while the Archaic King of Frost looked down domineeringly. "A human?" His powerful voice echoed out as the Dao Sentinels looked towards Noah and the shattered golden sword floating around him carefully, a few of them shaking their heads in derision as one of them barked out. "Little thing, who are you and what Tribe do you stem from?!" The Dao Sentinel carried his voice over with waves of his Glimpse of Edicts as it was a rough mixture ofws and daos that would terrify anyone, but the being in question below faced them calmly as he raised his head towards them and smiled lightly, his replying out clearly. "I am the challenge that the Archaic Kings must defeat if they want the ultimate treasure within this Ancestral Treasure Dimension." RUMBLE! Like a sh of lightning, his words thundered down as they caused the surroundings to turn silent¡­before the Dao Sentinels surrounding him gazed at each other and very soon broke out into boisterousughter! The hazy gold skies carried down their pride as a woman wearing white battle armor spoke out. "A little thing like you is the most dangerous thing we have to face in this Dimension?" Noah gazed at the beings above him with a smile as he nodded. To be fair, Europa truly hadid out a Treasure that the four Archaic Kings could obtain if they defeated him, and for him- his treasures were the Archaic Kings themselves if he defeated them! All of them were ying the game of the Primordial whether they knew it or not, and Noah was here to im his prize! The eyes of the Archaic King were frosty as he saw Noah''s confidence while surrounded by so many powerful beings, but his Dao Sentinels were undaunted as they asked with confident smiles. "You and what army?" Yes. A lone existence with a broken Sword in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension. How was he supposed to face all of them? "I''m d you asked." Noah replied with a smile as his eyes shed with a sh of blue, terrific auras instantly erupting in the golden tinged skies as Chimeric Undead Beast Kings began filling up the surrounding space! ¡­! The floor drained from the faces of theughing Dao Sentinels as a fantastical battle was about to bloom in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension! Chapter 311 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! III Chapter 311 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! III Frost himself floated higher above in the skies as he looked down coldly, an army of millions behind him as it gave an extremely oppressive pressure. By all means, anyone surrounded should be shaking fearfully under the gaze of all of these beings- but Noah was entirely different as after the words of the boisterouslyughing Dao Sentinel, his thoughts moved as he called upon the Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings under his control! BZZZT! They blotted out the golden skies as the terrifying auras bloomed madly, the faces of the Dao Sentinels changing rapidly at such a situation. "You¡­!" The one who had been speaking freely all this time felt his eyes shake as he gazed back down towards Noah, his heart nearlying to a halt as he found the blue eyes of this being to not be all that far away as he appeared right before his eyes! WAA! Noah had valiantly appeared amidst the circle of the Dao Sentinels in the skies without an ounce of fear, the shimmering golden broken Sword of Shattered Reality having silently floated from his side and pierced itself through the chest of the boisterous Dao Sentinel! The scene terrified those in the surroundings as they pulled back right away, but the roar of Beasts could already be heard behind them as they had nowhere to go. They were terrifying because the simply broken golden sword didn''t have any aura as it thundered forward, and it broke through the defenses of a Dao Sentinel that was protected by a rough collection ofws and daos as if they were nothing! Noah was also curious at the future uses of the Sword of Shattered Reality apart from its capabilities to allow one to traverse Realities. Since it was a sword, it was naturally an offensive weapon that should have stupendous attack capabilities, and Noah saw this first hand as wondrously- those pierced by the Sword of Shattered Reality were terrifyingly held in ce and anchored in space without being able to move anymore! He observed such a scene with the Dao Sentinel he pierced as this being could not move a single muscle nor utilize their mana, being anchored across space and time as at that point- Noah''s eyes shed a cerulean light as his will delved into the Dao Sentinel right away to turn them into his Subjugation. "Who are you?!" RUMBLE! At this time, the booming voice of the Archaic King of Frost echoed out in the skies as when Noah gazed up, he saw the Dao Sentinels and a few million army rallying behind this existence as he stood in the skies spotlessly¡­a storm of ice swirling from him to push away the Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings as from it¡­Noah could sense the aura of an Edict. An Edict based on the extreme concept of cold and frost! This was extremely unique as it made Noah''s eyes sh sharply, his calm voice echoing out once more as around him, an immense and heavy cloud of darkness began to boundlessly rush out. "As I said before¡­I am the one you must defeat if you want to obtain the ultimate treasure!" BOOOOM! The moment his words finished, he shot out like a missile as the darkness propelled him forward at an extremely fast speed- the Sword of Shattered Reality floating dangeously behind him as he flew. He shot towards the Archaic King of Frost with fervor as he truly enjoyed the feeling of an Edict! It coursed through every part of his body as it was extremely additive, making one feel as if their cells were screaming in joy as the Edict rotated around their body. If it didn''t cost so much mana that Noah had to tap into the reserves of many of his Subjugations and Undead Vassals to constantly keep it active¡­he would be utilizing it 24/7! ''Imagine if you had endless mana to just y with the essence of Edicts constantly¡­'' Such a thought crossed his mind as before his eyes, the figure of the Archaic King of Frost turned imposing as he punched out with dominance. OOOM! The punch was a terrifying one as Noah saw the temperature drop rapidly, space itself freezing anding to a halt as wherever the fist of this being crossed, ciers bloomed and shattered! BOOM! One side was pristine white in color as it seemed like a world of ice, the other was ck in color as Noaj carried behind him a world of darkness. It was apetition of Edicts as the two came to smash into each other and cause the very golden tinged skies around them to break- causing the appearance of the void! ¡­! The domineering gaze of the Archaic King of Frost trembled briefly as after a second, the world of ice around him broke as his figure was pushed back for a few dozen miles! His hand pulsed with pain as dark spots could be seen on them, his gaze turning somber as he spoke out grimly. "A holder of a GREATER Nomological Edict!" WAA! These words caused the minds of all those nearby to shake as they looked at Noah with a tinge of fear, but the Dao Sentinels and Warmongers couldn''t even focus on this for too long as they were under the attacks of the Chimeric Undead Beast Kings. The Archaic King of Frost was undaunted even after Noah''s terrific attack that actually pushed back his Nomological Edict of the Frost King, his voice echoing out as his body turned entirely into ice while he began to expand! "The other Kings are already alerted as they will be higher in a matter of moments! At that time¡­we will see if your single Edict can stand against four!" ¡­! Vibrant words filled with power echoed out as the body of the holder of the Nomological Edict of the Frost King expanded past the size of a World and continued to expand, a titanous being made of ice appearing as Noah only smiled at such a scene. "Good, gather together ande all at once¡­it will save me the waste of time fighting each of you alone." "..." Ah! The surroundings turned speechless at the utter arrogance echoing out, the cloud of darkness around Noah expanding as the essence of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral spread out madly! Chapter 312 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! IV Chapter 312 - The King of the Archaic Mountain! IV The Nomological Edict of Adumbralpeted with the Nomological Edict of The Frost King as over half of the skies were painted back, a world of ice trying to fight back unsessfully as one could see which Edict was the victor. "OOOOOH!" The Frost King bellowed out with fervor as he looked at the sight around him and began burning his Splendiferous Universes for more power. In the skies, Undead Primordial Beasts ran rampant as they released storms of Ruination and Primordial Essence- his Dao Sentinels and Warmongers falling one by one as something terrifying would ur every time that they fell! Either their bodies would be wrapped by darkness as they rose up as terrifying Undead, or they would float behind the the blue eyes existence as his essence of an Edict flowed into them with a trace of his will- and these Dao Sentinels and Warmongers then had their eyes shing with blue lights as they rose powerfully once more to attack their own people. Either rising once more as Undead or Subjugations! "What a terrible creature you are, Necromancer!" BZZT! The body of the Frost King shone with light as he used the power of his burnt Universes to pump even more of his mana into his Edict, his arms raised high as he called out coldly. "Barrage of the Frozen Gxies." ¡­! The golden tinged skies became painted white briefly as from above, the Edict of the Frost King pervaded throughout as wondrously- swirling frozen Gxies began to descend down as they screamed of utter destruction! "Haha, good!" Noah bellowed out loudly as he enjoyed the feeling of actively battling more and more as he rotated the essence of his Nomological Edict throughout his body. He loved to be idle, but the feeling of ying with the essence of Edicts was bing just as addicting as he utilized Eribokinesis! The skill that allowed him to mold shadows and darkness to the limits of his imagination as his mind was expanded more and more with the enemies he met, his mana churning out as around him- swirling Gxies of darkness and shadows began to form to smash into the frosty Gxies from above. The gaze of the Frost King changed as he felt as if he was being mocked, his frost gxies shing with Gxies of darkness as they were quickly overpowered due to the quality of Edicts, his titanous body made of ice being smashed into as chunks of ciers fell from him in a shocking fashion! The eyes of the Frost King dimmed a little. He had taken heavy damage as just as he was about to sigh, he heard three calls from three different directions. "Frost King!" "Frost King¡­!" Ah¡­ The calls of his brethren were heard as his heart lightened up just a little, the bellowing auras of the three other Archaic Kings rising as they stormed in with the essence of their Edicts brimming around them! Another huge burly man that was dressed in refined clothes, and two women that were currently adorned in terrific battle armor. The burly man had a shimmering crown of molten mes spinning above his head as the Nomological Edict around him released immense heat that melted the surrounding space itself! One of the women had lightning and thunderstorms raging around her as she was adorned in purple battlearmor, her eyes shing with arcs of lightning that threatened to destroy everything! Thest Archaic King was surrounded by blooming green and blue as abundant life force emanated from her , the surrounding space healing just by her mere presence! Three Archaic Kings had arrived to reinforce the Frost King, their armies following behind them as Dao Sentinels, Warmongers, and Antiquities came in waves along with millions of Hegemonies and Paragons. Noah gazed at all of them as their identities and what they stood for flowed in his mind from the vast memories of the many Dao Sentinels and Warmongers that he had Subjugated, his eyes shining brightly as he actually spoke out their titles at this moment. "The holder of the Nomological Edict of Inferno, the holder of the Nomological Edict of the Thunder King, and the holder of the Nomological Edict of Aquamarine!" ¡­! Their eyes shook at their Edicts being called out by a foreign enemy as Noah repeated the same words he said to the holder of the Nomological Edict of the Frost King. "I am the one you have to defeat if you want to get your hands on the ultimate treasure to elevate yourself to the Cosmic Realme at me!" RUMBLE! His words were those of confidence as he called his enemies down. Noah was understanding himself and his power more and more as he was bing increasingly bolder with his actions, realizing just how unique the opportunities and power he half as his Origin was currently spinning madly with power! A faster rate of advancement than even Primordials, and even holding two Systems that others couldn''t even imagine. He could be bold. He could be decisive. As if to cement his words, he called out the moment that the other Archaic Kings arrived. "RISE!" THRUM! The skies shook as those answering his call¡­were Grand Primordial Beasts that had been climbing the Tower of Champions with a portion of his soul this whole time! The surroundings that were filled with the Chimeric Undead Primordial Beast Kings suddenly became even more crowded as genuine Undead Grand Primordial Beasts appeared, the hearts of the Archaic King shaking when they gazed around them as they were faced with an existence that had an increasingly daunting aura and vibrant forces! The dozens of Primordial Beasts were one thing, but the existence himself in question was even more terrifying as they saw coalescing Gxies of darkness form around him constantly, the figure of the Frost King not being able to hang on any longer from the terrifying essence of the Edict this being possessed. Seeing such a scene caused the hearts of the newly arriving kings to turn cold and imposing as they each bellowed out. "Fight!" "Fight with all you have!" "Reinforce the Frost King!" "Lay waste to the Shadow Necromancer!" They were each Kings of vast areas and held the majesty of such beings. Even against an oppressive existence, they were undaunted as theybeled this enemy based on what they saw around him. Shadows and death. With countless Undead Primordial Beasts and Gxies of shadows and darkness forming around him, Noah was granted the title of the Shadow Necromancer on this day! Chapter 313 - The Shadow Necromancer Lays Waste to Kings! I Chapter 313 - The Shadow Necromancer Lays Waste to Kings! I Noah spoke out such a title as he shook his head andughed, his Origin forcefully pulling upon the many mana reserves he was connected to as he spoke out towards the oing Archaic Kings that had begun to release their Edicts. "If Gxies will not be enough for you all¡­" BZZZT! His Origin churned out as The Essence of Adumbral spilled out madly! Eribokinesis was turned to full force as his voicended akin to a death sentence. "...then you can taste Universes!" ¡­! Universes. Universes of shadows and darkness! Forming them required immense reserves of mana as Noah studied theposition of the millions of Splendiferous Universes within his Origin and tried to reproduce them as a method to attack! He¡­was actually conjuring Universes to attack others. How wild! How impossible! And yet¡­ THRUM! Darkness and Shadows coagted as shining in a terrific and ster fashion, unstable Universes formed with the Essence of a Nomological Edict. The hearts of the four Archaic Kings quivered as their gazes turned extremely somber as if they were facing the most terrible enemy in their lifetimes! On one side, the essence of the Frost King tried to coagte unstably as its holder was already injured, and the vibrant essences of Inferno, Thunder King, and Aquamarine zed madly on three other sides as they all surged towards Noah at the very center. Four holders of Nomological Edicts surged their attacks towards him as in reply, the endless shadows and darkness he released formed into deathly Universes that shot out and threatened to devour everything. This wasn''t all as apart from his own essence of the Nomological Edict, he had Chimeric Undead Kings and Grand Primordial Beasts moving in the skies as their bodies zed with typhoons of Ruination and Primordial Essence¡­all of these attacks from many sidesing together as the impact caused the Origins of all those surviving to ring in dizziness! BOOOOOOM! The impact of the sh was terrible as some unlucky Dao Sentinels and Warmongers were ripped apart, their skeletons onlying together a momentter as they became Undead Vassals. This time around, Noah wasn''t able to get his hands on too many Subjugations as the attacks were so high paced and deadly that light injuries were rare, this causing for his Undead Legions to gain increased numbers of powerfulmanders! The skies turned utterly chaotic after the attack as the faces of the Thunder King, the Archaic King utilizing the Edict of Inferno, and the Archaic King utilizing the Edict of Aquamarine all turned pale while trying to evade the dealt strikes of the swarming Primordial Beasts. The King of Frost¡­could actually not hold on anymore as after the initial attacks he took from Noah and now withstanding the terrors of shadow Universes thrown at him with the Essence of a Greater Nomological Edict¡­his spotlessly white figure of ice was slowly falling from the skies and towards the mountainous group before! WAA! Vibrant mental essence quickly locked around him as he fell, bringing the figure of this twitching Archaic King towards Noah as he could see this existence being utterly drained of mana and power as Noah had pushed him to exhaustion with thest set of attacks. "Frost King!" The other Archaic Kings bellowed as they watched Noah grab a hold of the ice existence, with the blue eyes barely gazing at them before they focused on the Frost King while a burst of cerulean arcs of light surged into the twitching body of the King! A powerful will filled with domination was wrapping around a King as even though others tried to stop it, they were unsessful as Noah''s [Subjugate] worked extremely fast when enemies could not even defend against him. THRUM! In no time, the ck white eyes of the Frost King opened as he rose from his back, gazing towards Noah with new eyes that shone with a blue color as this King shockingly greeted. "Hello, Master!" ¡­! A barely imperceptible whisper. But the Archaic Kings heard it as their hearts quivered, gazing towards Noha with ashen faces that proceeded to turn even more grim as mere seconds after this, the Frost King rose while gazing towards the three of them with a gaze that seemed to want to kill! Furthermore¡­Noah had closed his eyes the moment of the Archaic King''s subjugation as he delved into the many grand memories of the King of Frost and learned more about the Champion, but he mostly focused on the boon that came from every Subjugation he obtained. Theprehensions and assimtions of Daos and Laws as well as¡­Edicts. OOOM! His ck hair waved wildly as from his body- an aura apart from the Nomological Edict of Adumbral began to bloom. It was pristinely white blue in color as it contrasted the ck essence from Adumbral very well, ciers and countless stars of ice beginning to forge around Noah as at this moment¡­he dominated an Archaic King and obtained another Nomological Edict for himself! The Nomological Edict of Frost bloomed from him as his Origin quivered happily, the sensation of another Edict flowing through him being ecstatic as apart from shadows and darkness, ciers of white ice now began to erupt from him freely! "OOOOOH!" He released a primal bellow at such a feeling before his gaze locked onto the other Archaic Kings- looking at them akin to how others would look at glimmering treasures they wanted to get their hands on. "Sheesh¡­" Hidden in the folds of space, Europa watched in a stupor as she couldn''t smoothly keep on eating the popcorn in her hands, her eyes shining sharply as she spoke to herself. "Well after you swarm them with so many Undead Primordial Beasts and then hit them with so many attacks with your abnormallyrge mana reserves¡­what the hell can they do?" She shook her head at the versatility and power that Noah showed as her eyes still burned brightly while gazing at him, intent on seeing if he would truly lock all the powerful four Archaic Kings under him! Chapter 314 - The Shadow Necromancer Lays Waste to Kings! II Chapter 314 - The Shadow Necromancer Lays Waste to Kings! II The reserves of the countless existences under Noah''s subjugation across Realities were many, with his soul in the mind of Ezekiel expanding rapidly in the Championless Third Reality! The gazes of the Thunder King, the Archaic King utilizing the Edict of Inferno, and the Archaic King utilizing the Edict of Aquamarine turned extremely grim as they saw around the body of the Shadow Necromancer, the essence of the Nomological Edict of the Frost King bloomed freely. It was an action that exceededmon sense as the fluttering eyes of the Archaic King of Aquamarine shook while her sonorous voice came out. "Have you tried to contact Ragnar?" "..." The powerful woman beside her and the Archaic Thunder King remained quiet as their silence was her answer. None of them could reach across the bounds of this dimension as the enemy they faced was entirely unreasonable on all levels¡­this whose Ancestral Treasure Dimension seemed like a tomb they might be buried in! "Then¡­we can only fight to ourst breaths." Her voice was filled with rity as it echoed out, the essence of Aquamarine blooming out in full as it healed her injuries and the injuries of the two Archaic Kings around her! Their eyes shimmered brightly as all three then surged towards Noah''s figure fearlessly. It was an extremely memorable scene as all around them, storms of Ruination and Primordial Essence raged as Undead Primordial Beasts moved to stop their advance and rip them apart, while the enemy they were trying to reach was now bathed in the light of two glorious Edicts as he also had the support of another Archaic King beside him! Noah weed them all with fervor as with eyes of utter enjoyment due to the essence of Edicts coursing through him, his overly strong mind released waves of oppression and power as heid down the Corruption of the Usurper among many other debuffing abilities to end things! He wanted to get his hands on the other three Kings and their Edicts, and he wanted to do it with haste! With an array of skills exploding around him and a forming Legion of Undead Primordial Beasts under hismand, a glorious battle unfolded. The only one privy to it was Europa as she remained hidden in the folds of space, watching the movements of everyone on the battlefield as if they were mere ants as she nodded appreciatively in some areas and shook her head in disappointment in other areas. Her Primordial Eye of the Perennial gazed at everything with an analytic light as she found herself to be liking this Noah Eckert more and more, especially with the Reality bending capabilities he expressed that could genuinely make him into someone powerful! "Obtaining the Edicts of those he dominates¡­would he not be able to quickly form mes of dozens of Edicts if he dominates even more beings? Then his generation of True Blood will be a piece of cake as he could be a Higher Existence in a short period of time¡­" Europa''s eyes released rays of profound light as she watched after Noah obtained the Frost King, his focusnded on the Aquamarine Archaic King as he took out this being who was healing her otherpanions, quickly dominating her simr to the Frost King as momentster¡­Noah''s body released the light of a third Nomological Edict! "Mmmmm¡­" Europa looked at such a scene while nodding her head as her eyes turned thoughtful as if she was making a tough decision, taking a few seconds before her eyes became firm as she spoke out with a nod. "Okay. No killing you until I see just how far you can go¡­hopefully no Elder Primordials catch a whiff of me ying around with an anomaly that is delving on the now touchy and Taboo subject of associating with Primordial Beasts!" ¡­! A touchy and Taboo subject of associating with Primordial Beasts! Something that was considered Taboo, Noah was doing freely without knowing so as if any other Primordial hade across him- they would have destroyed him where he stood! "Bah, why are the Primordial Beasts getting so feisty across different Realities recently anyways? Is it the ones that have reached the Realms of Reality making moves to call other Beasts to their banner and cause even more chaos than there already is across the vast Realities?" Terrifying thoughts upied her mind as she threw popcorn in her small mouth while watching Noah control the pace of the battle even more after two Archaic Kings fell to him, the Thunder King being the one to be besieged by multiple Grand Primordial Beasts and the other two Kings as he fell into Noah''s hands soon after! And yet again¡­the piercing purple light of thunder erupted from Noah as he gained a third Nomological Edict, his body currently disying four freely as he was getting something as pristine as Edicts too easily! "Well, no matter. Whatever plots or schemes continue to weave in the vast Realities, Primordials will always maintain order ande out on top. The futile struggle of other Higher Existences¡­haha!" With a gaze of utter might and power, Europa spoke such words as she watched Noah dominate thest Archaic King with the support if his Undead Primordial Beasts and three Archaic Kings, the golden skies of the Ancestral Treasure Dimension finally settling down after this shocking battle- the result being made abundantly clear. Even with their Edicts, the Archaic Kings could not stand against the ridiculous figure of Noah with the unreasonable tools he had under him. Instead of one of them obtaining a treasureid out by Europa to achieve the Cosmic Realm, Noah instead won the challenge as he got his hands on for powerfulbatants thatprehended Edicts, and he himself obtained four new Edicts as within this cluster of Cosmos¡­there was only the Champion that stood before him and glory! The Champion of Reality¡­who stood at the Cosmic Realm and had attainedprehension in who knew how many Edicts- and he also had a System that a certain Primordial touted as extremely powerful that others could notpare! Chapter 315 - A Period of Accumulation! I Chapter 315 - A Period of umtion! I Within Noah''s Third Reality. This was a reality that Noah already had its champion under control as he overtook this special existence when he had yet to grow powerful. All that was left for him to do was conquer- and he did just that as the vast Cosmos stretched out across the Ruination Sea all fell under his influence one after another. Routinely, he woulde across Lesser Primordial Beasts wading through the crimson sea of Ruination as even these existences fell under his terrifying mental prowess and newly gain power of Edicts! His rate of expansion was even faster given the fact that he led Legions of Undead that rose to Trillions- each of them filled with power as the vast majority were in the Gctic Fment Realm and there was a significantly rising force of Undead Hegemonies. Any Antiquities or Warmongers weremanders Noah brought from the Second Reality where they stemmed from the Archain Tribal Lands, along with Chimeric Undead Beast Kings and other Undead Primordial Beasts being at the lead of the Legions of Undead! Due to this, Noah had rapidly ovee thousands of Cosmos within the Third Reality as today¡­his forces actually came in contact with something that wasn''t the crimson Ruination Sea! Noah sat on top of a Chimeric Undead Beast King as he observed the region ahead where The Ruination Sea actually stopped while a pristine milky white sea began. The Primordial Sea! When his consciousness waved over this region, he could feel tremendously powerful auras hidden in the depths of it as apart from Lesser Primordial Beasts- he sensed the auras of many grand ones¡­and the feeling of an oppressive aura that seemed to be slightly higher than grand. "The camp of Primordial Beasts¡­" His voice came out cold even as a smile was stered on his face, his eyes releasing their usual blue luster as his Origin surged with the authority of the Supreme Necromancer! OOOM! Behind him, there were already trillions of Undead forming extensive Legions- a few Grand And Lesser Undead Primordial Beasts acting as themanders at this moment. But under his surge of authority, dozens more Undead Primordial Beasts began to appear as these actually came from the battlefield that Noah was just cleaning up! Right after the battle against the four Archaic Kings, Noah recalled the Primordial Beasts on the field as he seamlessly moved them across Realities to begin yet another battle. This time around, it would be against the only enemies he had left within this Reality- and he confidently moved forward as his destiny was currently raging even brighter even after he sensed the most powerful aura of Primordial Beast within the Primordial Sea! It meant that at this moment in time¡­a Cosmic Primordial Beast had not been born. An existence that could be called an Ender of Reality¡­had not risen as simr to the Champion Ezekiel- Noah might just be capable of subduing the most powerful existence among this Reality''s Primordial Beasts before they became an overly powerful enemy. If he seeded¡­he would effectively have an entire Reality with no enemies that he could consider his home base! That is...until the Primordial that the Champion Ezekiel had gotten his System from appeared. For this, Noah had to prepare! ¡ª "Master." The four Archaic Kings of the Archaic Tribal Lands truly bowed down before Noah even though they were the rulers of vast areas of the Archaic Empire. As Noah''s Subjugated, they looked towards him like the most important person they had to take orders from as such a scene would cause chills on anyone watching! BZZT! Europa tore apart the folds of space as she appeared, clicking her lips as she stared at the Four Archaic Kings while shaking her head. "Who could have expected these guys to be so trashy? I would have expected a great battle that at leaststed a day if not a few hours as they stood a chance to elevate their Realms to Cosmic, but they just fell under you like nothing!" Her words carried disdain towards the Archaic Kings as she raised her hand towards Noah and continued. "Now, the only challenge you have is Little Ragnar who stands at the Cosmic Realm and has a terrifying System¡­how do you expect to run through him?" Her eyes sparkled with light as she spoke, Noah''s eyes rising up as he took his attention away from the feeling of obtaining four brand new Edicts to gaze at this Primordial. She was truly a danger and a being that granted immense opportunities, with Noah knowing that if she didn''t do what she did- he wouldn''t have so easily been able to get his hands on the Archaic Kings! The moment that he began making waves or attacked the Archaic Empire itself in full force, the Champion at the Cosmic Realm would have juste out and made quick work of him as he advancement would have had to take a long time. He would have had to silently stretch his will over more and more being to eventually scheme to subjugate the Kings, but now they were already under him as he could send them all back to their posts and get close to the Champion without his knowledge! As his thoughts about this became clear, his eyes became firm as he replied to Europa. "I cannot stand against a Cosmic Realm Existence right now¡­and I will need some time to elevate my power and go through the rest of the Rifts you''veid out in the Archaic Tribal Lands!" "Hmm¡­how many years before you''re ready?" Europa''s sonorous voice echoed out. "Years?" Noah let out a devilish smile at such a question, his blue eyes releasing arcs of light as he finished his words in a domineering fashion. "I will need a mere week or two before I can confidently take on a Champion at the Cosmic Realm! RUMBLE! A week or two to be able to match a Cosmic Realm existence! Such words caused Europa to look towards him in shock, his boundless confidence making it seem like he really believed it. ''Why would I take years? I just need to fuse all the Grand Primordial Beasts and take down the strongest Primordial Beast within the Third Reality¡­and I should be ready to swarm this Champion!'' His thoughts were even wilder as he didn''t notice the wondrous arcs of blue light bouncing off of his eyes! Chapter 316 - A Period of Accumulation! II Chapter 316 - A Period of umtion! II A period where he enjoyed being idle as he forged billions of Splendiferous Universes- this being something he could actually manage to do daily if he expanded the Primordial Rifts under his banner. And with the Archaic Kings he just ced under him as well as the dozens of Dao Warmongers and hundreds of Antiquities¡­he could go across the Archaic Tribal Lands to add more Rifts under his name! Of course, the moment he did so- it increased the chances of alerting the powerful Champion of this Reality. "A few weeks? You truly think a few weeks is all that will be required for you to face an existence at the Cosmic Realm?" Europa was still doubtful as she asked with shining eyes, but Noah only nodded once more as he stared at the four kings lined up respectively not too far away and the Subjugated Warmongers and Antiquities, as well as those that had be Undead Vassals all around him! "Yes. I''ll spend some time within this Ancestral Treasure Dimension before I begin to send out the Archaic Kings with the pretense that they failed to find anything here even after a few days." His eyes shed with sharpness as he spoke, his hands unconsciously twirling with the essence of the Nomological Edicts he had obtained. "In the meantime, I will strengthen my forces and build up my power as within a week or two, everything should be ready!" He spoke with a face filled with confidence as Europa''s eyes shone with interest. "Well well well¡­if you are that confident, I will look forward to it! But even right now after seeing all your abilities, I would still put my bets on Little Ragnar you know?" "He''s already at the Cosmic Realm and has mastered a few Edicts, which means he has already begun generating True Blood within his body! What weapon makes you so confident against such a creature?" Europa probed for information as Noah only smiled light, watching the disappearing Chimeric Undead Kings and Undead Grand Primordial Beasts that were being sent to another Reality for exactly this weapon that she was asking about. His calm figure sat on the ground as he surrounded himself with the essence of his now five Nomological Edicts- 1 Greater and four Minor Edicts as he sought to learn more about them and how to rapidly bring them topletion! For this, he turned his gaze towards Europa as he asked lightly. "How do you quickly achievepletion of your Edict?" It was a question that caused Europa to raise her brows, but thinking of the entertainment this being could bring her, she floated in the skies while speaking sonorously. "One has to utilize the essence of their Edicts a whole lot to achievepletion in them and obtain the mes of their Edicts¡­or you can utilize the Essence of Reality to forcefully bring your Edicts topetition!" ¡­! "Such a unique essence is only fully utilized by Higher Existences- especially those who have achieved the minimum of 15 Edicts and forged a unique authority that allows them to obtain the passive Regeneration of the Essence of Reality from Emerging Realities themselves. A lower existence like you can''t dabble on this that much at all!" Her gaze looked at many things from above as she spoke, turning thoughtful a momentter as she gazed at the Primordial Beasts remaining in the skies still under Noah. "Well, maybe with your link to the Undead Primordial Beasts? Who knows if you have more surprises in store for me¡­" She was smart enough to see that Primordial Beasts could uniquely devour Cosmos and obtain the Essence of Reality, Noah also knowing this as after ascertaining that he could bring the powerful Nomological Edicts topletion through this unique essence- it just meant that be had to work that much harder in the Third Reality to devour more Cosmos! Empty some Cosmos of all intelligent life forms and devour them, stack reserves of the Essence of Reality¡­and thenplete them to obtain the wondrous mes of Edicts. With all this in store, he could easily see himself breaching the vast gulf of power against the existence that was a Champion! "Alright, for the next few days then¡­I shall be idle!" He proimed gloriously as he thought about his Idle Gaming System. It worked its best when he had things set up in Idle Mode¡­and he then had a passage of time. The more time that passed when he was idle, the more terrifying the effects of this system could be seen as just with the average of 700 Million Splendiferous Universes daily that he had right now before he began to add even more Rifts¡­this meant billions of Universes within a few days as he was practically rushing towards the Cosmic Realm! Thus¡­his body in the Second Reality would enjoy the period of umtion as within the Third Reality¡­his body made preparations to besiege the powerful Primordial Beast thaty at the depths of the Primordial Sea he just located. He was still looking at the junction where the Ruination Sea ended and the Primordial Sea began, his figure being surrounded by dozens of Primordial Beasts at this moment as he turned around to gaze at the Undead Grand Primordial Beasts. His focus was on two at this moment as with a cold gaze, he called upon the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System as he voiced out calmly! "Fuse." RUMBLE! A unique authority descended down as two Beasts at the Grand level came together in a wondrous fashion- the fusion between being bound to be something fantastic. When he fused Lesser Beasts together, he obtained Chimeric Beast Kings that had power equivalent to Quasi-Grand Primordial Beasts. Halfway to the level of a Grand Primordial Beast! Now as he fused Grand Primordial Beasts, would the power of the Supreme Necromancer System continue to be so domineering that it would truly grant terrifying Beasts that can disy power at the level of Quasi-Cosmic? If he could get his hands on multiple Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beasts¡­ah! Chapter 317 - A Period of Accumulation! III Chapter 317 - A Period of umtion! III Noah watched with an excited gaze as two Undead Grand Primordial Beasts fused, their product being something to look forward to as after the incandescent show of light- a new form of an existence came to be born as all the Beast Lords and Beast Kings gazed towards its direction with some reverence and fear!! ROAAR! It released a glorious bellow to announce its arrival, Noah feasting his eyes on a creature extremely vast in size that he looked like a speck of dust next to it. Being light years in size, this existence was too massive to even gaze at unless Noah expanded his own body to be vaster than even a gxy- something that would take too much mana to keep active at all times! But for Beasts like this, such a size was natural as Noah sent amand for it to reduce to the size of a World while he gazed at it. But by all ounts, it looked like a full fledged Elder Dragon as its scales shone with a ster color that reflected Universes- a terrific aura stemming from this Primordial Beast as its rank was not low! When Noah stared at its details, his eyes lit up with happiness as it was truly as he had expected. The Supreme Necromancer System didn''t let him down! [Chimeric Undead Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast Emperor] :: An existence with a rare chance of being born, with a nearly unkible body that has great resistances against All Laws and Daos. Its nature and origin has been elevated even further as it is abination of existences born from Reality itself with the purpose of destruction, its rank reaching halfway between Grand and Cosmic as if it devours even more Cosmos, its continued elevation in power is guaranteed. As the first fusion to a Quasi-Cosmic Chimeric Vassal, it is granted +100,000,000% to All Parameters, the birth of the Nomological Edict of the Funereal Beast, and the abilities , , and ...[Stats]...[Abilities]... A Quasi-Cosmicbatant! This was a shocking possibility that now became a reality as even Noah would look at this as unfair if another person could forge such a Reality. It was extremely hard for one to reach even halfway towards the Cosmic Realm, yet their fusion of his Undead Vassals achieved this power as it further reminded Noah of the power of Systems! And the fact that the Beast was at the Quasi-Cosmic level was actually just one of the biggest things, with the other being the fact that the fusion of the first Beast of this level granted it the Greater Nomological Edict of the Funereal Beast! Of course, there was also the ridiculous +100,000,000% to All Parameters of this beast as its power must be something unimaginable. "Well¡­I don''t have to imagine it!" After arriving at such a juncture, Noah looked at the Quasi-Cosmic Beast Emperor as his consciousness weaved towards it, sinking into its origin as under the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System, he took over the body of this powerful Beast. This was the type of power he could wield! An instantter, he opened his eyes into the vast body filled with what seemed to be endless power, unique essence coursing through him as the feeling was unlike anything he hade across in his life! "Stupendous¡­" RUMBLE His voice came out from the mouth of the Beast Emperor as it boomed out and caused the Ruination Seas to tremble, his aura spreading out madly as his terrifyingly strong soul had now found a ridiculously powerful body. His wild aura must have already alerted the entities in the Primordial Sea, but Noah was prepared as all around him, the remaining Grand Primordial Beasts began to fuse as auras of Quasi-Cosmic Beast Emperor''s began to rise wondrously! There were variations in their forms as some were full fledged Phoenixes with others being full grown Elder Dragons. From three to six, all the way to a total of 12 Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast Emperors were fused before Noah''s eyes as terrifying auras rose one after another. By this point, the milky white Primordial Sea ahead had already begun to churn as the entities within sensed the battle power amassing outside their homes. Noah''s soul was retained in the humongous body of the Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast Emperor that looked like a ster Elder Dragon, the body of Ezekiel moving atop another Undead Primordial Beast as at this moment¡­amand was given. "Move out!" OOOM! Amand to mobilize against the Primordial Beasts of this Reality that with their defeat¡­Noah would be unrivaled within this vastness of Ruination and Primordial Seas! "ROAAR!" The bellow of Beasts rang by his side as an army of Undead Primordial Beasts led by Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast Emperors moved, Legions of Trillions following behind as their ck aura if death entered and tinged the white seas of Primordial Essence. The moment Noah stepped in with his huge form, he felt as if he had entered a sacred location as his eyes searched forward hungrily, his titanic figure of an Elder Dragon moving at the forefront as he sought for the enemies within these vast Seas! Peals of milky white colors bloomed wondrously around him as the auras became more and more intense, his eyes finally gazing at the enemies he faced a few million light years away. The scene¡­was wondrous to see as it was rows and rows of Lesser and Greater Primordial Beasts, their forms varying from a myriad of mythical Beasts as apart from Dragons and Phoenixes- one could also see winged Tigers! And what was most shocking was that at the very forefront, there was a titanic Beast the size of a Universe that was shining with iridescent light- this beast taking on the form of a Winged Tiger as four pairs of wings gloriously sprouted from its back, a shimmering illusory white crown rotating around it. The Beast released an aura many times more domineering than any of the Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beasts Noah had fused, even though Noah could see that it had not yet reached the Cosmic Realm! The Essence of multiple Edicts surrounded this terrifying creature as Noah actually met an Ender of Reality that had yet to fully step into the Cosmic Realm. It seemed to be just 10 Billion or so Splendiferous Universes away¡­and it now faced someone like Noah as it represented a wondrous opportunity! Chapter 318 - Battle a Future Ender of Reality! I Chapter 318 - Battle a Future Ender of Reality! I An ancient voice that seemed to be full of confidence echoed out as two sides of Primordial Beasts faced each other. One side carried the terrific aura of Undead Primordial Beasts and Legions of other unique Undead Chimeric Vassals, with a single human standing atop a Primordial Beast side by side with thergest Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast that had the form of a ster Elder Dragon! The ancient voice that stemmed from the existence about to be the Ender of Reality was directed towards none other than this Elder Dragon, the consciousness of the Winged Tiger Primordial Beast locating the master of the Undead Army right away. Of course, the vibrant waves of soul shaking strength stemming from Noah inside the form of the Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast gave this away easily as his sharp jaws twisted into a smile while gazing towards the creature that was just a few billion Splendiferous Universes away from achieving the Cosmic Realm. "I''m just someone seeking more and more power. You being the master of the Primordial Beasts within this Reality¡­I just want to get my hands on that power!" WAA! Noah was straightforward as he spoke, the Origin of his current body rotating with mad power as he released [Corruption of the Usurper] and [Malignant Madness]! As always- the goal was to debuff enemies first, and then overwhelm them with his mental strength. Now, his cast of [Corruption of the Usurper] and [Malignant Madness] wereced with more than just his mental power, the waves of Nomological Edicts being contained within it as after he cast these area of effect debuffing abilities, his entire body erupted with the essence of the Nomological Edicts of Adumbral, Frost King, Thunder King, Inferno, and Aquamarine! Lastly, the newly born Nomological Edict of the Funereal Beast that was born from the rewards of fusing the first Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast bloomed, the figure of Noah in his Elder Dragon form bing even more ferocious and animalistic as his body erged while an extra pair of ster wings sprouted from his back, an eruption of power wildly surging from him! This eruption caused the eyes of the uing Ender of Reality to sh with a cold light, a guttural roaring from it as it acted as the signal for the Legion of Primordial Beasts behind it to move. It created for a ster scene as the white Primordial Sea instantly became painted by numerous colors, the glow of countless terrifying skills that could tear apart the very structure of Cosmos and Gxies blooming out madly! From Noah''s side, darkness pervaded out madly as the essence of death spread, with Noah himself releasing the most terrifying levels of power at the center as six Edicts weaved out, his concern for mana being little as he nned to very quickly end this battle before his reserves and the reserves of his Subjugations were exhausted. "Puny creature!" The Winged Tiger bellowed out as its body expanded even further, Edicts surrounding its figure as well as when Noah saw this, his eyes simply became more excited that arcs of blue light were released in all directions! "Come! Come!" He gazed at this beast and all of its power with a fervent gaze as the moment it fell, all it has would be¡­ "Mine!" BOOOM! The two sides shed. Blood and gore erupted as torn beastial wings and limbs became strewn about instantly, the skill being too spectacr for either side to not receive damage. But one side continued on as if they didn''t feel any pain, while the other side howled out in pain and shock as they took a pause! This pause¡­ BOOOM! Allowed the Undead Primordial Legions to strike with even more power and fervor as instantly, dozens of Lesser Primordial Beasts fell. The moment life perished from their Origins¡­. THRUM! They were instantly pervaded by the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System as they rose again- even more terrifying than they were just moments ago too! This sequence of action exined exactly what would ur in the next few minutes as either the undaunted manner of the Undead Primordial Legions would simply overpower the vibrant and filled with life Primordial Beasts opposing them. All Noah had to do was hold back the future Ender of Reality as his forces would join him with even more forces as everything else would be history! All he had to do was hold it back¡­but he did more than this as his vibrant essence of Nomological Edicts smashed out and called for blood as within a few exchanges- golden red blood was drawn! ROAR! The Blood seemed to hold unique power and weight as just the outburst of rage from the Winged Beast caused it to burn and explode around them, Noah looking at such a scene closely as his enormous body was pushed back even by a little. After the burst of explosion, one could see a set of unique red mes burning around the body of the future Ender of Reality, its might rising ever higher as it returned to attack Noah with fervor. The golden blood mixed with red and the mes he saw now¡­all of it led Noah to think about the stage of Higher Existences that Europa talked about as this being¡­should have actuallypleted a Nomological Edict and produced the mes that Noah just saw sprout, these mes being something that have been producing the True Blood of Higher Existences within the body of this creature as the power it could wield was astounding! Yet¡­ "Haha, good!" Noah''s side fervently continued to attack as his multiple Edicts flew out to defend, using any gaps he could find created by his Undead Legions of Primordial Beasts to attack and wear down the enemy before him. He was not daunted even by apleted Edict, as the main enemy he had to face next most likely had multiplepleted Edicts if Europa''s words continued to be true! "A mere practice battle¡­that is all you are!" RUMBLE! As the Essence of the Frost King formed unstable frosted Universes while Adumbral bloomed Universes of shadows and darkness, Noah''s voice echoed out domineeringly as the battle within the Primordial Sea reached a crescendo! Chapter 319 - Battle a Future Ender of Reality! II Chapter 319 - Battle a Future Ender of Reality! II The defending Primordial Beasts actually found themselves on the losing end as they faced enemies that knew no fear and felt no pain. Enemies that moved in unison to batter and beat all those before them as overtime¡­many of their own brethren joined the ranks of their enemies. More and more Primordial Beasts fell to join the ranks of Undead as gradually, a change urred in the battlefield that caused the domineering Winged Tiger at the Quasi-Cosmic Realm to let out a howl of dissent and unwillingness! It was because it saw the row formation of the Primordial Beasts had been broken as currently, the enemies surrounded them in a half moon format as in time¡­they wouldplete the circle as Legions of only Undead would surround him. "It isn''t supposed to be this way!" OOOM! The future Ender of Reality bellowed out its grievances as the mes of Edicts it controlled weaved around its wings, causing it to flutter across the Primordial Sea speedily as Noah''s Elder Dragon form always appeared before it could break out of the encirclement. BOOM! "I have been building my forces waiting to achieve the Cosmic Realm and take down the Champion of Reality¡­yet who are you toe and do this?! Who are you to y with destiny like this?!" The Winged Tiger roared out angrily as it spat out red sma beams of Ruination surrounded by the mes of a terrifying Edict from its jaws, Noah''s ster scales reflecting immense darkness and shadows as when the beams of sma were devoured by the essence of Adumbral smoothly while more unstable universes echoed out. He took in the words of the powerful Ender before him as a cruel smile formed on his lips, his eyes looking towards the figure of Ezekiel standing atop a Beast Emperor as he replied. "The Champion of Reality? He''s right there¡­although just like you will be soon, he is already under my control." RUMBLE! His words were like a p of thunder as the worn down Ender gazed towards Ezekiel''s calm figure on shock, Noah using this chance as an opportunity as his titanous figure shed above the Ender with his ws smashing down, the multicolored pairs of wings on the Winged Tiger letting out terrifying sounds of fractures and bing ripped apart soon after as he dealt terrific damage. "ROAAR!" A maddening and unwilling roar echoed out thereafter as the Ender truly was unreconciled! It had mes of an Edict. It was so close to achieving the Cosmic Realm. So close topleting its purpose and finish devouring the many Cosmos of this Reality as after that¡­it could experience nirvana and fall back into nothingness! Meeting nothingness now would mean it had notpleted its purpose! It could not perish. It would not! BOOM! The Will of the Ender was vibrant and strong, but the pervasive will of an anomaly that moved across multiple Realities and held multiple Systems¡­the will of this being was much more terrifying. The aura of Corruption around it had permeated to its core as weakness screamed out across all sides of the Winged Tiger, its soul and Origin unwilling but its enemy¡­was unhindered as he did not care! Before the Ender knew it, it sensed utter silence from the destructive battles around it as when its consciousness gazed at everything, its Origin trembled to find just eyes of darkness staring at him. There was utter silence with no sound of battle as at some point in time, all the Primordial Beasts on his side had fallen to the enemy, and they all now gazed at the lone Ender as it was a scene terrifying enough to cause any being''s Origin to shudder! "...This is not how it should be." The Ender spoke out silently as the defiance in its eyes was ever so slowly fading, the oppressive pressure on all sides smashing down towards it as a single being¡­could not endure all of this. BOOOM! The glow of ster abilities carried by the essence of the concepts of Nomological Edicts thundered down as a unique existence who would have formed his Cosmos in a few hundred thousand years or more was stopped short of its destiny, it''s ster eyes dimming as it gazed at the figure of a devilish Elder Dragon with shining blue eyes that was gazing towards it expectantly. THRUM! The authority of the Supreme Necromancer System overflowed the moment the Ender fell, sinking into its falling Origin and soul as the unique transformation Noah could never get tired of urred once more! A transformation that greatly elevated one''s form and power since they were alive- a transformation of a Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast into an Undead existence under Noah''s control as the possibilities this creature would bring¡­were simply too astounding. WAA! From the calmness of the Primordial Sea, a battered Winged Tiger those once more and the sound of bones cracking and reforging could be heard echoing throughout. It''s glimmering pairs of wings became tinged ck as they became wings of shimmering white bones, a shadowy essence connecting them together as it rose up powerfully! It''s eyes shone with utter darkness as its titanous form rose to gaze towards none other than Noah, the aged voice echoing out. "Master." OOM! The future Ender of Reality subserviently calling out to him. Such a feeling was extremely unique as while Noah basked in it, he didn''t forget to see this existence for what it truly was! A weapon. The weapon that he could use against a Champion of another Reality that was in the Cosmic Realm! The Undead Winged Tiger before him now was a Quasi-Cosmic Realm existence missing just 10 Billion Splendiferous Universes before either achieved the next Realm. Under the rules of the Supreme Necromancer System, Noah could fuse this creature once¡­but it couldn''t be with the Undead Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beasts that were already products of Fusions! That was one of the few restrictions in this wondrous System- that the fused Undead Vassals could not undergo a second fusion. So the question came now on what product woulde if Noah fused this Quasi-Cosmic Realm Winged Tiger with an unfused Grand Primordial Beast that had more than 10 Billion Splendiferous Universes within its origin. Would it be enough to produce a Cosmic Undead Vassal? Would he be capable of bringing a full fledged Ender of Reality under his wing?! Chapter 320 - Preparations I Chapter 320 - Preparations I Noah had be aplished across the Second and Third Reality he delved in, with the Ender of Reality within the Third Realitying under his banner along with all of the Primordial Beasts under it as when this event urred¡­Noah had felt the Primordial Seas tremble for an entire minute! It was a unique phenomenon he couldn''t exin yet, and he didn''t know whether it was the Reality seething from rage or excitement. But he acquired what he sought to acquire as he truly entered the period of umtion for his power, enjoying the boons of his two Systems to the fullest. The Supreme Necromancer System allowed him to fully expand his dominion across an entire Reality as he located a vast number of Cosmos that each had their own unique races within the Third Reality, with Noah sacrificing over half of these Cosmos for himself! All of the intelligent life forms were teleported to other Cosmos as when it became barren, the ability of Primordial Beasts would be utilized for Noah to obtain more Essence of Reality that he could use to actively alter aspects of Reality itself. The aspects he went to change right away¡­were hispletion of the new Edicts that he just gained. From the defeated Origin of the Ender, Noah already saw the unique mes of apleted Edict as he quickly sought toplete another- seeing how terrific its power was as thepletion of an Edict didn''t just grant one the mes of this Edict, but they granted a Bloodline of such an Edict as one could begin to generate the True Blood of Higher Existences in this manner! All one needed to do was toplete them as unique resources were there to do just that. The words of the Primordial Europa weren''t false as just like how the Essence of Reality could reawaken Noah''s Primordial Epitaph, they could also be focused on the portion of his souls where the concept of Edicts was located as their rate of progress could be altered with the usage of this Essence of Reality. So on the second day after defeating the Ender of Reality within the Third Reality, Noah used the reserves of Essence of Reality that he had collected so far toplete his first Nomological Edict- and it was of course, the Greater Nomological Edict of Adumbral! His Origin had felt a surge of a unique power as wondrous ck mes bloomed within him, an ecstatic sensation of power being brought to light when the concept of shadows and darkness that was Adumbral was brought topletion. Edicts didn''t haveprehensions and assimtions simr to Daos- where one simply had toplete them as at that moment, Noah was able toplete his first one as a surge of information appeared in his mind. Information on the perks of the ck mes he had just obtained- the mes of Adumbral! :: The mes of Adumbral bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of Adumbral. The title of Adumbral Bloodline Progenitor is granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 9 other Existences into your Bloodline. Followers of the Bloodline of Adumbral gain an increased chance ofprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the requiredws and daos to be an eventuality. As the architect of this Bloodline, you are granted the ability of and that can be utilized by the mes of Adumbral and enhanced by the Essence of Reality for an even more terrifying effect. As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of Adumbral, you are granted +250,000,000% to True Defense and Movement Speed, along with an extra +200,000,000% to All Parameters, all abilities that utilize the essence of Adumbral have their resource requirement cut down by half, and your Origin begins to produce 10 nanoliters of the True Blood of a Higher Existence within your body daily¡­ These were the details that flooded into his mind and appeared before him in a text box of wondrous golden letters. The mes of an Edict that granted its Bloodline and many others perks! The abilities and gained from the mes of Adumbral became Noah''s strongest attacking skills after he obtained them, with his power rising by many levels due to the addition of +250,000,000% to True Defense and Movement Speed and +200,000,000% to All Parameters. Just the details of alone were terrifying enough! :: With the mes of Adumbral as the source, a Shadow Cosmos blooms to upy the surrounding space as within it- the imagination of the Shadow Emperor can run rampant. Within the Shadow Cosmos, all mana usage is reduced by 90% as abilities are granted +100,000,000% True Annihtory Damage that bypasses the defenses of all Laws, Daos, and Minor Nomological Edicts. A constant and oppressive burst of shadows always tries to sink into the enemies within the Shadow Cosmos as if their Origins be tinged with shadows, the Cosmic Shadow Weaver can bring them under hismand as Shadow Vassals¡­ A terrifying ability that apart from his Subjugations and Undead Vassals might also allow Noah to obtain Shadow Vassals! Abilities like this and all of these boosts made him feel unstoppable as after getting a first taste of the mes of an Edict, Noah could not hold himself back as this was the reason why he made over half of all the Cosmos he found so far in the Third Reality barren before he devoured them for the Essence of Reality! After he obtained the sufficient resources required, his strength rose explosively in the next few days as apart from Adumbral, the Nomological Edict of the Frost King was the next one to bepleted as Noah gained the Bloodline of the Frost King. After the third and fourth days, the Nomological Edict of the Thunder King was alsopleted as Noah''s body gained multiple Bloodline Edicts, his Origin bubbling with power as he began to produce a significant amount of True Blood within him! Chapter 321 - Preparations II Chapter 321 - Preparations II Noah''s body within this second reality was situated atop a lush mountain that was surrounded by green and gold vegetation, wisps of colorful essence surrounding this greenery as it was truly a scenery of a wondrous haven! His eyes were closed as his body was surrounded by mes of Edicts, the progress that his other portion of soul was making in the Third Reality being shared with him as the unique thing was the True Blood that was currently being generated from the Bloodlines of these mes. Since he had a single soul and multiple bodies, he could uniquely have his soul control where the fantastical True Blood was residing and generating in, the golden drops of this newly forming blood that held immense power being capable of moving across Realities to one body or another! The feeling of edicts was already fantastical enough when he allowed them to course through his body, but the mes of Edicts were on another level entirely as he couldn''t help but have a smile on his face when he sensed them. "I leave just for a little ande back to see you somehow havingpleted multiple edicts? Isn''t this preparation just a bit much?" The sonorous voice of a certain Primordial rang out as Noah was knocked out of his enjoyment of feeling his improved power since the passage of a few days after the subjugation of the Ender of Reality within the Third Reality. He gazed up to the origin of this voice as he saw Europa adorned in a frilly ck dress that melded with her dark hair and eyes, her mischievous eyes that held a hint of unpredictability and danger locking with Noah''s as she gazed at the bright multicolored mes around him with interest! Noah never knew when this Primordial came and went, so he always assumed she was around as when it came to the disy of his power, he wasn''t worried as this woman controlled multiple other beings that were even stronger and had morepleted edicts than him. And the more interest he garnered from her, the less dangerous she became. So he looked at her with calm as she waved her hands to bring out a vibrant object that shone with a lustrous golden light, his voice replying out. "It is just thepletion of a few Edicts. I''ll need to do a whole lot more if I want to stand against your Champion!" WAA! His domineering gaze was filled with confidence as Europa broke intoughter when she heard his words, waving the object in her hand forward as Noah saw through its golden luster and received it from her hands. "Don''t worry so much about Little Ragnar. Taste some of that first." Her oppressively strong aura came closer as the object she threw over turned out to be a golden cluster of grapes that shone with boundless essence and each one had an illusory swirling gxy reflected on it! "These are some of the famous Sacred Herbs I got from a nearby Prime Reality where the Race of Celestial Vines dominates. Those little trees are the best servants that have allied with Primordials as their farming skills¡­ah, they''re top notch!" As she spoke, she pulled out more of the so called ''Sacred Herbs'' that were bountiful clusters of grapes that shimmered with the light of gxies, her small mouth takingrge bites as she spoke with a devilish expression. "Have some. And if you want more¡­you''ll have to share some more of your secrets." Her expression was confident as she spoke, Noah raising his brows as he followed her lead and tookrge unruly bites from the cluster of golden grapes, golden liquid flowing down his mouth as he felt an explosion of taste erupt out a momentter! His eyes released brilliant arcs of blue light as even his strong mind was dazed momentarily, onlying to a few secondster as he realized he had finished all the grapes in his hands, only a few golden vines remaining in his hands as he felt his soul buzzing with strength¡­a portion of it strengthened in a significant manner as he was shocked! Mere fruits capable of increasing the strength of one''s soul! And even someone who had a ridiculously strong soul like him¡­ "Right? Right?? It''s no wonder why more and more Celestial Vines are being granted the right to enter the Trial of Blood and get the chance to be Primordials. Their farming is enough to make other races look on with envy! Now, I''ll give you some more if you tell me how you managed toplete multiple Edicts in just days when you just obtained them." With a devilish smile, her figure became surrounded by scintiting gold lights as clusters of grapes on shimmering vines surrounded her from all around, all of them representing bountiful strengthening of one''s soul as Noah''s haze hardened before he quickly spoke. "The Primordial Beasts I dominated still had their Essence of Reality¡­I collected it all together and simply did what you told me. I used it toplete my Edicts." ¡­! He didn''t mention that he had another portion of his soul moving across another reality and devouring Cosmos as Europa''s eyes twinkled at his words, another bundle of golden grapes flying towards him as she continued to ask. "Sharing the resources of your undead¡­that should also exin your ridiculous usage of skills as if mana restriction weren''t a thing for you. What about when you teleport your dominated and undead subjects? Where do you take them?" The terrifying Primordial truly wanted to adopt a stick and carrot method as she had rewards ready while she asked Noah questions to probe more on just what could exin his anomalous existence, Noah''s origin and soul bing even firmer as he grew increasingly careful and wary of this being while navigating the opportunities and dangers! Like this, over a week passed as Noah made great progress across two Realities, receiving glorious Loot in Idle Mode as the majority of it went to giving him hundreds of millions of Splendiferous Universes while the rest were fed to the broken Primordial Relic- the Sword of Shattered Reality! Within one of the Realities, Noah had the gaze of a certain Primordial watching him closely as he tried his best to guard his closest secrets while gaining bountiful information from this being on the Realities she had been to or was overseeing. With the passage of time, progress could be seen as this was shown the most with the number of Splendiferous Universes he had forged- with Noah''s origin having over 10 Billion Splendiferous Universes forged over the past week from devouring fantastical loot as ridiculously¡­he was one-tenth of the way towards the Cosmic Realm! If he just did absolutely nothing and just remained idle from now on, he could achieve the Cosmic Realm in just another 9 weeks¡­but would he truly wait for so long? To others like Europa who had lived for who knew how many millions of years, weeks were nothing. To Noah who was in the Universal Realm in one week and in the Universal Fment Realm another week- such a period of time was too long as he made ns to achieve the Cosmic Realm in theing week! Chapter 322 - Preparations III Chapter 322 - Preparations III In the past days, Noah had continued to chase these two paths as for the Ender of Reality, he had it devour some of the Cosmos within the Third Reality as he also fed it the Primordial Hearts that he obtained from Idle Mode! This was why even after more than a week and gradually adding more and more Lesser and Grand Primordial Rifts across the Archaic Tribal Lands, Noah''s own body was still only at 10 billion Splendifirous Universes! He was actually putting his focus on the body and Origin of the Ender of Reality that if he raised to the Cosmic Realm¡­his soul could upy and use as a terrifying weapon. This path¡­Noah was infinitely close to achievingpletion in as the Ender of Reality was nearly at the Cosmic Realm. And this was before any fusions! Noah had pushed aside the idea of fusing this Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast with a Grand Primordial Beast as its identity was too special, and he looked further ahead in the future as he asked himself a question. ''What would be the product of an Ender of Reality and a Champion of Reality?'' WAA! A terrifying thought! It was a thought that held wondrous possibilities, so Noah nned to thoroughly raise the Ender of Reality to the Cosmic Realm and theny his siege to the Champion of Reality that held a terrific System. When Noah thought about this System, he couldn''t help but turn his eyes towards the vibrant figure of Europa who was gobbling the golden grapes she termed Sacred Herbs as he spoke questioningly. "Just what is the Ultimate Evolution System you give to your Champions?" He asked casually like it was nothing, Europa''s eyes turning up as she replied nonchntly. "I based it on the race of Deste Blood Trolls from the Deste Realities. It istes the genes within the Bloodlines of devoured beings and greatly enhances their most powerful aspects before assimting them onto one''s own Origin¡­.mmm, that''s more than enough for you to know?" Deste Blood Trolls from the Deste Realities! Existences that shared within their names the name of their Reality- existences that actually had such a unique ability that Europa magnified it to a ridiculous extent to forge a System for herself and other beings! "If Little Ragnar overwhelms your armies and starts devouring them, he''ll just continue to get ceaselessly stronger as he develops more resistance to the existences he devoured as by the end of it¡­he won''t even be receiving damage from them!" "Haha, if he eats you up, who knows what will happen?" Her eyes shone dangerously as she spoke while freely devouring the golden grapes that could elevate the strength of one''s soul, Noah''s eyes retaining their calm as he absorbed this information while changing his ns. He couldn''t rush this Champion of Reality with droves of undead now as this being could actually devour them to pick their most powerful qualities within the genes of their bloodlines, reinforcing himself and his power infinitely as his undead might not even be able of damaging him at the end of it! This meant that he had to bring a set of high ssbatants with himself as Ragnar could not even be given the chance to utilize his System, such a reality throwing out Noah''s n of attack of simply tiring this being out and damaging him until he could no longer take it with his vast Legions of Undead and countless Subjugated Blessed. ''I have to understand this being more¡­'' His eyes shone with a cerulean luster as his thoughts moved rapidly, calling upon one of the Kings he had cultivating Daos and trying to fuse more Edicts in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension. "Master." The curvaceous Aquamarine Archaic King appeared before Noah as her head was bowed respectfully, not even daring to stare towards Europa that looked towards her curiously as Noah gave amand! "You''ll be the first Archaic King to return from the Treasure Dimension. Let me see more of this Champion of Reality through you." ¡­! His eyes shone with power as the Archaic King before him nodded before she quickly shot out to collect a portion of her forces, taking them towards the same golden portal they came in far away in the skies as she prepared to return to the Archaic Empire! Noah had already seen a lot of Ragnar from the memories of the Archaic Kings, knowing this being to be extremely secretive as from Europa''s words, he was actually an Archaic Beast turned to a human being. Noah wanted to probe this creature with a portion of his soul installed in the Aquamarine King-ying down the foundations to see whether he could ambush the Champion of Reality through the four beings closest to him. Even though she was subjugated, the Aquamarine King could seamlessly act like her normal self as Noah didn''t expect any issues from this. "Let''s see¡­" Hismand was followed as multiple figures left, but Noah didn''t manage to catch the mischievous glint in Europa''s eyes as she watched this scene! Destiny weaved in an unknown fashion as some beings schemed, while others watched, and others simply waited. ¡ª In the Archaic Empire. Ever since the appearance of the shockingly oversized golden rift that led into the Ancestral Treasure Dimension, the vastnds of this empire had been abuzz with activity as they waited for the return of the Archaic Kings! And on this day, the golden rift glowed beautifully as after over a week, some of those that entered finally came out- and it turned out to be a grim figure of the Aquamarine Archaic King and a small portion of her Legion. WAA! Before any Antiquities or Hegemonies that were left behind could near, the oppressive might of the singr being in the Cosmic Realm descended down as the Champion of Reality appeared! Glorious in stature and demeanor, his eyes shone with sharpness as he gazed at the Aquamarine Archaic King who began to speak with some relief. "The dangers within are greater than we expected as it is taking some time to-" "You''re not Lucia." RUMBLE! A domineering pressure erupted out as the gaze of Ragnar became incredibly cold and sharp, calling out the name of the Aquamarine Archaic King as one of his eyes began to glimmer with a brilliant light of gold, peeling awayyers of secrets as this eye caused the soul residing in the Aquamarine Archaic King turn grim with shock! Chapter 323 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! I Chapter 323 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! I This was a few seconds before the meeting between the Aquamarine Archaic King known as Lucia and the Champion of Reality, with her next words echoing out as the two sides met! "To spice things up, I left out a little teeny tiny detail about Little Ragnar." ¡­.! Her words had finished at the same time that the figure of Lucia that Noah was upying a portion of with his soul heard the shocking words of "You''re not Lucia"! Noah''s gaze focused thereafter as his consciousness within the figure of the Aquamarine Archaic King felt the surroundings turn extremely oppressive, the left eye of the Champion releasing rays of golden light as its iris obtained a unique shape that was very simr to another eye that Noah had seen before! "Haha!" In the Ancestral Treasure Dimension, Europa''sughter echoed out as if she could sense what was happening outside, Noah''s face bing cold as his voice echoed out. "He has a Primordial Eye too?" WAA! The Champion of Reality had a Primordial Eye simr to Europa! A unique Eye of Power that granted one powerful inquisitive ability, capable of seeing the truth and peeling awayyers of secrecy with ease. Never in the memories of all the beings Noah Subjugated had he seen the Champion of Reality reveal his Primordial Eye to them, and he now found out this hidden secret as Europa seemed content with herself at how things were turning out! "Aren''t things more exciting now? After all, I can''t be so biased with you against my own Champion. He deserves to know that a terrifying enemy ising for him." "..." The Primordial did as she wished while freely eating more golden grapes, liquid gold dripping from her lips in a mesmerizing fashion as Noah''s face turned cold. He had to deal with a heavy situation outside the portal leading to the Ancestral Treasure Dimension now! BOOOM! Outside, the situation devolved rapidly as the moment Ragnar saw something within the Aquamarine Archaic King''s body, he made a move as his chest brightened up with a terrifying sense of power. It showed¡­an illusory ster Cosmos that disyed the strength of this being. "What are you?" OOOM! While he spoke, the palm of the Champion stretched out as obsidian pirs filled with palpating essence of Edicts materialized, surrounding the Aquamarine Archaic King in all directions as Noah''s portion of soul turned grim. Since things had already progressed here, he might as well feel the strength of the Champion of Reality! WAA! His soul overtook the body of the Archaic King as the mes of Adumbral spread from him, but before he could even coalesce them into a skill¡­ BOOM! His sight changed as he saw a mere glimmer of a sh of light. An instantter, the wild figure of Ragnar appeared in front of him at speeds Noah couldn''t match in his current realm, especially with the small portion of his soul upying the body of the Archaic King! The Champion of Reality was only a blur of light in his eyes as with mes of multiple Edicts surrounding his hands, he sped onto the fair neck of the Archaic King while bypassing the mes of Adumbral, his voice echoing out with wrath now! "I''ll ask again, what are you?" RUMBLE! His hands squeezed as Noah saw the cold hard truth of those in the Cosmic Realm. Immense speed and power as even their mes of Edicts could disy multiple degrees higher of strength, where those unprepared wouldn''t even be able to follow their attack or cast speed! To match an existence in the Cosmic Realm, one needed to also be in this Realm. "I see." His calm voice echoed out from the caught Archaic King as he realized that only with the Ender of Reality that he was raising could Ragnar be ovee! OOM! When Ragnar heard the voice stemming from the mouth of the one he knew as Lucia, his eyes turned utterly cold as he made a split-second decision. His hands raged with even more mes of Edicts as theytched out madly with the oppressive power of the Cosmic Realm, beginning to burn the body of the Archaic King in an instant as the Champion was extremely swift and ruthless when he made a decision. At speeds that this body could not even react, its skin and muscture were being turned to ash as its origin and soul would soon follow- Noah having ascertained this as his own soul quickly retreated and returned to his body in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension! What had just urred¡­was a minor loss that came with the reveal of important information on the means of his enemy. "But I suffered a loss regardless." His eyes gazed at the smiling Europa who nodded mischievously, her voice echoing out soon after. "Now my little Champion knows something is wrong and he will have his barriers up¡­you won''t so easily plot your way and get to him! Isn''t it exciting now?" "..." "Both of you on the same ying field, and I can measure in this battle any weaknesses this Champion of mine has so that I can forge even stronger Champions from here on out, I think things went rather perfectly." With a devilish smile, Europa finished the Sacred Herbs within her hands as she rose while patting a dress, watching Noah''s face closely as she expected some sort of a reaction¡­but she received none as he was utterly calm! "I just need a day¡­.nothing has changed." ¡­! Yes. No big changes had urred as all that today''s events showed was that he needed the Ender of Reality at the Cosmic Realm, and that at the end of it all- he wouldn''t just be getting a Champion at the Cosmic Realm that had a terrific System and Edicts- he would also get his hands on the Primordial Eye that he had only seen Europa with! An Eye of Power was the prize among many other things! Chapter 324 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! II Chapter 324 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! II For him, remaining idle was the best possible option as all he needed was the passage of time for the Idle Gaming System to give him more Loot, and he would then utilize them towards the Quasi-Cosmic Ender of Reality toplete its journey into the Cosmic Realm! Primordial Hearts continued to pour out from idle mode as Noah fed them to the Quasi-Cosmic Primordial Beast, it''s Origin reaching saturation soon enough as it only had a little less than 10 Billion Splendiferous Universes to go a week ago¡­and this gap had been closed ever so slowly. At a certain period of time. "Oh? Noah''s eyes lit up in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension as his other portion of soul in the far away Third Reality finally saw a grand transformation urring within the Origin of the Ender of Reality! This transformation was a monumental event as it signified many things, with Noah''s figure standing up in the Ancestral Treasure Dimension as he caused Europa to gaze towards him with a sharp light. "Is it about time?" She yawned as she spoke, her curvaceous body glimmering with power as she seemed to sense the things that wereing more than even the people involved! Yes. It was time for Noah to make a move as he had achieved the sufficient requirements that gave him the confidence to stand against the Champion of Reality! Of his own achievements, he had managed toplete and gain the mes of the Nomological Edict of Adumbral, Frost King, Aquamarine, Funereal Beast, Inferno King, and Thunder King. Meanwhile, he had also gained new Edicts from the Ender of Reality itself as it already hadpleted the Edicts of Gluttonous King and Revolver, with Noah helping itplete the Edicts of Savant and Cleanser. Of course, it also meant he had gained 4pleted Edicts from this existence as Noah now had more than 10 Edicts under him! His rate of Edict collection had to be unmatched as who could say they could gain 10 Edicts within a period of a mere week? Andplete them at the same time?! OOOM! His body pulsed with power as his thoughts solidified and his conviction became even clearer, taking light steps towards the far away golden portal that would lead one outside of the Ancestral Treasure Dimension. His body floated forward as it was soon surrounded by the three remaining Archaic Kings, their Legions staying behind as Noah could only use the top mostbatants for this! "Woow¡­so serious right now like you''re going to war. It''s just a match between you and little Ragnar! Whoever wins will be the one to stay behind to make sure this Reality doesn''t perish in the hands of Primordial Beasts." ¡­! Noah''s steps had toe to a halt briefly at this as he stared closely at the figure of Europa that shone with an incandescent light! With her eyes curved into a dangerous smile, she continued. "What, you didn''t think I''d let such a fun piece like you free whatever the results of this battle turned out to be right? If Little Ragnar wins, he will be even stronger through my System. If you win¡­I can continue to y around with an interesting creature like you as I wonder how far you will go before an Elder Primordial or two sense your anomaly ande to destroy you." THRUM! Each of her words were utterly dangerous, Noah taking them all in as all of these were possibilities he had expected. He was reminded again and again how he had to rely on his own power to be able to stand against beings that sought to step above him! When he thought of this, a smile couldn''t help but appear on his lips as he had confidence in achieving all of these things with ease. He had two Systems after all, and he was about to gain a third one! "You don''t worry about me¡­just sit back and enjoy the show." His voice echoed out calmly as Europa''s eyes shone when she saw his demeanor, watching as he and three Archaic Kings disappeared into the golden portal leading outside. Her face was full of smiles as it seemed the piece she had found this time was truly interesting, her hands waving forth as she called two buckets of popcorn and proceeded to meld into the folds of space while stepping out of the Ancestral Treasure Dimension- ready to watch a grand show! SHAA! The golden portal leading to the Ancestral Treasure Dimension shone as out of it, four figures appeared. Three were fairly well known in the Archaic Empire, but leading them was a single young man that had deep blue eyes filled with power and confidence! The moment these four figures came out of the portal, they were greeted with the scene of the glorious Champion of Reality situated in the skies watching them coldly, his eyes dripping with power as he called out the moment that he saw the party of four. "You." RUMBLE! A single word. Yet it showed that through his Primordial Eye, Ragnar saw and recognized Noah''s soul signature right away as the one who had been within the Origin of the Aquamarine Archaic King that had now perished! Noah also gazed towards Ragnar with a calm smile as he nodded, affirming everything this Champion believed as towards such boldness, the eyes of Ragnar squinted with danger as he spoke out. "Who are you and what do you want?" What did this being want? Why had his soul dominated the four Archaic Kings of his Empire? The answer¡­was surprisingly honest. "You. I came here for you, O Champion of Reality!" OOOM! With a steady gaze, Noah replied grandly as the eyes of Ragnar turned even colder. "Is that so?" BZZZT! His body began to tremble with an undeniable power that nobody lower than the Cosmic Realm could deny, turning into a streak of light towards Noah as the next scene of carnage could be imagined! Yet Noah was utterly calm in such a situation. Even before Ragnar had begun to move, spatial essence had fluctuated around him as in the next instant, an overwhelming Shadow appeared to cover everything as a titanous existence appeared between him and the Champion of Reality. An existence with a terrifying aura as a pair of four bone wings erupted from its back, its form of a ferocious kingly Undead Winged Tiger being shown to all as it roared out with power and instantly struck against theing Champion of Reality! The calm eyes of Ragnar changed as he looked forward with shock and surprise. Hidden in the folds of space, Europa nearly choked on her popcorn as she saw the appearance of what seemed to be a Cosmic Primordial Beast! Chapter 325 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! III Chapter 325 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! III With the uniqueness of the Necromancer System that required no mana for Noah to handle endless Legions of Undead among many other features, and then the constant flow of Primordial Hearts that allowed Noah to forge over a Billion Splendiferous Universes daily¡­of course he was able to focus all of them on his Quasi-Cosmic Undead Ender of Reality as now¡­. ROAR! A ster result appeared on the battlefield for the first time as it caused both the hiddenly watching Europa and the targeted Champion of Reality to gaze out in shock! An existence with 6 pairs of wings covered by immense darkness, a body half shimmering with obsidian bones and half with decayed muscture with two ferocious crimson eyes on the head of a Tiger- the Ender of Reality that Noah had taken the life of in another Reality appeared at this moment! "That¡­is an Ender!" Europa''s gaze shed with sharpness and ingenuity as she looked towards Noah with even more seriousness. "That affirms that this little monster can already traverse Realities¡­and already has another portion of his soul that has managed to dominate a Cosmic Realm Ender of Reality!" Europa connected the dots as she was almost right- where Noah had not dominated the mind of a Cosmic Ender, but had instead raised one himself from the boost of his Idle System! "Mmm," The fair hands of Europa resumed eating from her bucket of popcorn as her eyes seemed to hold a trace of difficulty. "His soul being split into multiple Realities will make it hard for me to control him¡­where even with the threat of death here, he will actually be okay in another Reality." Her head twisted to the side as her expression of difficulty soon turned into a devilish smile! "That is¡­unless I can find your other body and soul in another Reality!" RUMBLE! The eyes of Europa shone with power and ingenuity as her eyes shed with power, her body silently releasing a profound wave of power as within moments- a light stemmed from her body that formed into another figure that looked just like her gorgeous self! "Use everything at your disposal- find every Reality this little monster night be hiding in!" ¡­! Waves of golden destiny and Karma emanated from the other body of Europa as it smiled with confidence, a unique power that Noah had yet to see bursting from her as one could see a few profound looking Halos of utter regality blooming and spinning silently around this second body before it disappeared into specks of light. "Now, with an Ender on hand¡­will you truly ovee Little Ragnar?" Her gaze turned towards the urring battle as her attention was very quickly captured, and this was from nothing else but the fact that on the skies above the Archaic Empire, Noah had gone on to release his unique domain ability that corrupted everything as this time around¡­it contained the essence of 10 mes of Edicts! The terrifying Primordial affirmed that in such a short period of time where Noah had not evene in contact with Edicts, he nowpleted 10. "Then his other portion of soul must be even busier than the body here!" The interest in Europa''s eyes only grew more and more as her mind truly didn''t want to let go of this monstrous anomaly, this Primordial unknowingly hoping for a certain oue more than another as she watched the unfolding battle. THRUUM! The surroundings of the skies above the Archaic Empire were painted with a myriad of colors as the Corruption of the Usurper spread out along with an invible sense of madness- the strength of multiple mes of Edicts contained within it as Noah was trying his best to expertly use them with efficiency. This was because each of thepleted Edicts granted him millions of boosts in All Parameters along with unique Ultimate Skills, and he had not used them at all if not very little as he needed to test himself during this battle! The Edict of Adumbral granted him the Ultimate Skills of Shadow Emperor and Cosmic Shadow Weaver, and he called out for thetter at this moment as he burned droves of mana that dried out more than one-tenth of all his Subjugations and Vassals. :: With the mes of Adumbral as the source, a Shadow Cosmos blooms to upy the surrounding space as within it- the imagination of the Shadow Emperor can run rampant. Within the Shadow Cosmos, all mana usage is reduced by 90% as abilities are granted +100,000,000% True Annihtory Damage that bypasses the defenses of all Laws, Daos, and Minor Nomological Edicts. A constant and oppressive burst of shadows always tries to sink into the enemies within the Shadow Cosmos as if their Origins be tinged with shadows, the Cosmic Shadow Weaver can bring them under hismand as Shadow Vassals¡­ "Cosmic Shadow Weaver." WAA! The eyes of The Champion of Reality were already shining dangerously as his body ballooned up into an incredible size and form to face the summoned Undead Ender, but Noah called out silently as the surroundings instantly turned dark- a Shadow Cosmos descending down to upy and lock down everything! A ster obsidian light shed out as countless dark illusory Universes settled in, each of them shaking with an aura of instability and shadows as with this skill set up, Noah''s mana usage was cut down by 90% as every skill he cast had its damage enhanced with 100 million percent True Annihtory Damage! Now¡­he could cast and spam even more skills as a portion of his soul went into the Undead Ender of Reality, his voice continuing to echo out. "Mind Realm. The Emperor''s Universe. Dance of the Ancient Terror¡­" Multiple skills from the trees of the Mind Dominator, Telekic Emperor, and Ancient Mind that heavily focused on Noah''s soul were called out- but this time every single one carried the terror and might of Edicts as their effects were magnified into horrific proportions! Noah did all of this and attacked with such ferocity because he knew the battle with the Champion of Reality had to end quickly! This existence had the most fantastical system that would adapt to extreme situations quickly, and Noah wondered how the holder of the Ultimate Evolution System would react when being sted on all sides by the terror of multiple mind-affecting skills backed by Edicts. As much as he would love to see the wonders of this System disyed in front of him, he wanted the scenario of its boons not even being disyed by Ragnar as he defeated this being before he could fully use his System, and then he could learn about it after his victory was achieved¡­ Chapter 326 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! IV Chapter 326 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! IV The Champion of Reality roared out with power as his body ballooned out wondrously. His enemy had conjured a Cosmos of Shadows as the pervasive terror of soul-rted abilities rained down, so he reacted simply as his bloodline surged to adapt to it and choose the most proper form out of the many qualities of different existences he had assimted! WAA! His body released a golden color that pushed away some of the darkness, the mes of His Edicts erupting out to surround him crazily as he actually gave out the cry of a majestic bird. "KAA!" Wondrously, one could now feast their eyes on a Phoenix whose body was covered by golden mes, this being the form that Ragnar took which countered the shadows and darkness around him the most as he moved to counter the ws of theing Undead Ender of Reality. BOOOOM! A terrifying impact of light and darkness thundered out as the face of the Champion of Reality was the one to change and turn somber. The many boosts his enemy had¡­the percentage of True Annihtory Damage he could deal grok the boosts of his manypleted mes¡­the auras of corruption and soul skills that were besieging Ragnar on all sides and reducing his battle power¡­all of these factors came together as shockingly, the Champion of Reality at the Cosmic Realm found himself pushed back with the form he took shaking from the damage! "OOOOH!" He didn''t take it lying down as an instantter, his body morphed once more as this time, Ragnar turned into an enormous finned beast that seemed to be from the depths of the sea, its scales cerulean blue in color as they came with an endless blue sea that tried to fight back against the rushing shadows and darkness. At the same time, this Sea Beast opened its huge jaws to absorb some of the Shadows and Darkness trying to attack it- the Ultimate Evolution System fully stepping up at this moment as Ragnar sought to receive some damage in order to break down and assimte the essence of these attacks until he could adapt to them! The more that this battle raged on, the more that the Champion of Reality would adapt to it. The shadows were injuring him now but in a few minutes, he would develop resistance to them as the more the battle raged on¡­the less worried Ragnar would be until eventually, none of the attacks of this being would even be able to would him! And these were attacks from a collection of Nomological Edicts... This was the Ultimate Evolution System! Of course, the caveat of it was that he could absorb the attacks and not have them ravage his Origin to point of killing him. He wanted to draw out the battle by even a few minutes as this would ensure victory- but Noah wanted to end the battle within the next minute or he knew he would meet an insurmountable enemy! OOOOH! The three Archaic Kings he brought with him weaved out their own attacks to take the attention of Ragnar by even a little as Noah himself and the Undead Ender released a flurry of terrifying soul based attacks filled with the might of mes of Edicts. It was a race against time as Noah¡­was intent on winning it. BOOM! The form of the Deep Sea Beast had its cerulean scales busted as the essence of Adumbral, Funereal Beast, and other Edicts sunk into it- damaging it while also increasing its resistance as when blue blood began to flow out even more, Ragnar''s body shone as he instantly morphed into another creature! This time, it was an enormous Light Dragon shining with Resplendent golden scales, beams of righteous light releasing from it as all of these forms were extracted genes from the Bloodlines of creatures that Ragnar had defeated and assimted into himself! He could summon them at any moment to take on their form as the power he could wield was truly fantastical and allowed him to adapt to many situations. I''m theing minutes, he woulde to adapt and ovee this enemy before him they would perish just like all the others, and he would take in their power as he became stronger than anybody else he had met before! BOOM! Within seconds, the scales of the Light Dragon were also bleeding golden blood as the attacksid out by Noah were truly meant to kill, but Ragnar''s origin could feel the excitement as he had already extracted a significant amount of information as he was developing a resistance to the essence of Edicts thundering his way already. ''Just a minute or two¡­!'' His Origin carried a trace of expectation as he could already see victory ahead. ''Then¡­I shall take on my final form with all the most powerful genes I''ve collected so far to achieve it!'' The Champion of Reality was about to make the final move that would guarantee his victory but at this time, his enemy did something that was a first. "Subjugate." OOOM! His voice was mesmerizing and wondrous as his eyes and the eyes of the Ender of Reality met with Ragnar''s, all three bodiesing to halt at this moment! "..." Noah''s Forte was his soul. When he defeated his enemies, he could use his strong soul to dominate their wills as when their Origins and souls were injured, his mind easily came to control them! But Noah¡­had now cast the skill to subjugate while the enemy was only injured by a little. It was a unique strategy as at this moment- Noah could not ovee the still tight defenses of Ragnar''s soul as the situation entirely came to revolve around the strength of one''s soul! Their bodies came utterly still as Noah''s eyes and the eyes of the Undead Ender crackled with intense blue light, Ragnar''s halted body shaking with anger as his own eyes buzzed to reflect this terrifying light- a battle purely of souls being forced by Noah. If Ragnar broke out of it, Noah''s soul would face a terrifying bacsh for the first time as he would have to retreat right away. If Ragnar couldn''t ovee Noah''s soul¡­ THRUM! A struggle for supremacy ensued at this moment- a moment right before Ragnar had taken his ultimate form! Chapter 327 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! V Chapter 327 - The Domineering Ultimate Evolution System! V He had to first tear down their mind and Origin before he could easily take over their souls, and Ragnar''s defenses had barely been torn as Noah chose to carry out a two-pronged attack. One was his deadliest attack that relied solely on the strength of his soul. [Subjugate]. The skill that actually came out to be the ultimate decider of today''s battle as if Ragnar shook it off- everything would be for naught! His other form of attack¡­was the Cosmic Ender of Reality that lent him its mental strength while dividing half of its attention to cast deadly skills against the now stationary Champion of Reality. The Undead Ender was joined by the three Archaic Kings as while frozen in a mental battle with Noah, the Champion of Reality had to take attacks on all sides! Both he and Noah were still as it truly turned into a battle of the strength of their souls, with the side that gave out first losing everything as over time¡­the defenses on Ragnar who was about to change to his ultimate form were slowly being ground down. BZZZT! The space between the gazes of the two beings fluctuated madly and with immense waves of deadly soul power as their battle was actually urring in a ce where even the watching Europa could not see at this moment. Hidden in the folds of space, this Primordial gripped her bucket of popcorn as she ate from it with increasing frequency- her eyes zing as she watched the silent sh of willpower and souls between two beings! "Bah, why did you take it down to such a stalemate of souls? If Ragnar had achieved his ultimate form, this battle would have continued for another day as I gathered more data!" ¡­! Her thoughts were on other things entirely as her eyes shed with ingenuity, her thoughts actually revolving around what she had seen in this battle within the few minutes that it was going on. "I need to reduce the time it takes to adapt to new situations¡­even though evolution is a stupendous concept, if you can''t adapt in time to gain the resistance you need- you will still die!" She made notes on how to improve her system as she nodded to herself, her gaze not being able to see the mental battle currently urring between Noah and Ragnar! In an unseen mental world. BZZZT! Cerulean blue lightning covered more than half of this world as at its very center, a figure of a human being could be seen standing opposite to a huge ancient looking bird that held ten pairs of wings and three heads that each held sparkling purple crowns. The ancient beast had abundant feathers and scales that shone with a purple luster- its three pairs of eyes on its head shining with a somber light as this existence was the true Archaic Beast Form of the Champion of Reality! He wasn''t of the human race as Europa had said, but this creature was still majestic as an Archaic Beast as its three purple crowned draconic heads nced at Noah coldly. "What is all this for?" The voice of the Champion of Reality reverberated in the mental world as it saw the countless arcs of blue light threateningly rush over to upy everything. Noah''s figure was filled with utmost seriousness as towards this Champion''s question, he only replied calmly while making sure to use his anomaly of a soul to devour everything in this mental world to be his! "For your System. For your power! I have no qualms with you as I can promise you after your Subjugation, a whole new world will be opened." His words wereced with soul attacks as they thundered down, the arcs of cerulean light spreading out even further as the three purple crowned heads of Ragnar blinked calmly! It could feel its immobilized body being injured more and more by the Ender of Reality outside, while its soul was trapped inside this mental space as its defenses were also ground down. It was a terrifying attack that just turned out to seed because the strength of his soul was not enough to stand against this being during the initiation of this attack- and just because of that¡­the whole battle was decided! This being that wasn''t even in the Cosmic Realm actually had a soul more powerful than an existence in such a realm, making one wonder exactly what he had done to achieve it. As the shocking battle was decided by such a simple yet ultimate factor of the soul, Ragnar found himself exceedingly calm as while watching his mental world be devoured, he asked a question that had been bothering him all this time. "Did this have anything to do with Europa? Is she watching right now?" Even though it was calm, sorrow could be felt within his voice as he thought of how Europa was the one to tell him to send his Archaic Kings into the Ancestral Treasure Dimension, and everything had spilled out from there as he had to know. As he was about to be dominated under the mind of someone else, Ragnar wanted to confirm if this was the case! "Yes." WAA! The confirmation from Noah was the strongest soul attack to arrive yet as the cerulean arcs of blue light destroyed any purple radiance emanating from Ragnar''s soul, nearly devouring him whole as his voice continued to echo out! "I see." His three pairs of eyes gazed at the storm of blue lightning as he locked his gaze onto Noah''s brilliant eyes. It was a gaze of resignation as it sealed the fate of the Champion of Reality, but Ragnar did it nheless as he had to look at the depths of the eyes of the being before him to say hisst message! "She nonchntly toyed with me and then threw me away when something more interesting appeared. I will warn you now that no matter how beautiful or enticing she seems¡­she will do the same to you." RUMBLE! The cerulean arcs of light descended with even more ferocity, Noah''s mental state being unperturbed as thest words of Ragnar continued toe out! "Be careful of the untouchable Primordial that makes herself seem ever so close within reach. Be careful that like me, you do not perish in the hands of the next toy that she finds more interesting than you." ¡­! With such words being left behind, the entire mental word was epassed by a gorgeous blue light. OOOONG! With the expansion of the cerulean light¡­a Champion was dominated! Chapter 328 - The Third System! I Chapter 328 - The Third System! I It signified the second Champion of Reality under a single being- it signified the collection of a third System by a single existence! OOOM! A droning sound echoed out as fantastically, Noah''s figure trembled in the outside world as his eyes stopped releasing their profound blue arcs of light. A heavy weight had been ced on his soul for the drastic move he made, where he would have been heavily wounded had Ragnar''s soul been stronger than his! But the bet had paid off. At this moment in time, the Undead Ender of Reality pulled back from its vicious attacks as the Archaic Kings did the same, moving from a beaten figure of Ragnar who stopped his ultimate transformation and reverted to the true form of an archaic beast. Fantastic three purple crowned draconic heads and scales with feathers shining a brilliant purple hue could be seen as this Archaic Beast that was known as the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer¡­this being had its eyes release a sh of blue light at this moment! It was a blue light that signified domination- a blue light that at this moment caused Noah to break out into a bright smile as eventually¡­he couldn''t help butugh! His brilliant voice was the only thing resounding across the starkly blue skies as towards this achievement, Noah could not help but celebrate. An enemy a whole level higher than him had fallen as at this moment, he had gotten his hands on a Cosmic Realm Ender of Reality and A Champion of Reality! Even though he had not reached this stage, he couldmand those that had and even infuse arge portion of his soul into their Origins to experience such a Realm for himself. And in the case of Ragnar, he had to undergo the same process he utilized for Ezekiel as he had to fully upy the Origin of this being until his Soul seamlessly became able to brand the Ultimate Evolution System as his own entirely! But before doing this¡­ "Wowow!" The vibrant voice of a Primordial resounded out as from the folds of space, the figure of Europa appeared as she had a dazzling smile when gazing at everything. SHAA! Her figure fluttered across space as she instantly appeared in front of the body of Ragnar, looking into its now dazzling pair of blue lit eyes as she shook her head while smacking her lips. "I think you had it too easy. Your soul, is it? For it to be much stronger than even a Cosmic Realm Champion that has a Primordial Epitaph swirling with the Essence of Reality¡­you continue to surprise me!" She gazed into the eyes of Ragnar as even with this touch issue of a Primordial, Noah''s happy mood could still not be taken away as he looked at her calmly while she turned towards him. "Little Anomaly¡­you still remember what I told you? That whoever wins this fight, there still has to be someone here making sure that Primordial Beasts don''t fully devour all Cosmos and cause the destruction of Realities..." "...I wonder how you n to tackle this?" Her expression held a devilish smile as her small but blessed figure appeared right before Noah. As the Champion of this Reality had fallen under Noah, so did its protection! As for how he would tackle the problem that wasn''t truly a problem that Europa posed? "There is merely a Cosmic Primordial Beast that has to be taken care of right? I will simply do what I did to Ragnar to this beast and enve it- guaranteeing the protection of this Reality as I will control all the Primordial Beasts within it!" RUMBLE! His domineering words echoed out as his aims didn''t just end with Ragnar for this Reality! There was still an Ender of Reality here as well that should have been at the Cosmic Realm, and Noah wanted to dip his influence onto it as well. "Hmmm¡­" His words caused Europa to let out a dazzling smile as her eyes shone with a frightful light of brilliance. "You continue to amaze me and even showed me the gaps in my System¡­good! Let''s see how you deal with the protection of this Reality. If it''s anything less than guaranteed¡­I will lock you up here whether you like it or not!" "..." Noah stared at this being calmly as she seemed to be very agreeable right now, his danger bells ringing as from the words of Ragnar- his caution towards this Primordial was further reinforced as he didn''t want to be swept up in her pace. She seemed to be easygoing now, but she could be scheming a great deal of things as he had to continue moving carefully and with even greater speed and rate of progression! ''For that¡­I need to consolidate my strength and learn about my new System!'' His eyes shed with sharpness as he replied calmly to the Primordial. "Before doing anything else¡­I need to enjoy my boons and consolidate my strength." OOM! As he said this, the figure of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer that was Ragnar released an austere purple light as it closed its eyes, ignoring the peering gaze of Europa as Noah''s figure also came to float beside it! He had a brand new System he needed to familiarize himself with and explore, and a new set of ns on how to move forward as he still had a dangerous enemy that was extremely close to him. The existence with gorgeous flowing dark hair and eyes with an always mischievous face that seemed entirely harmless and was actually the most dangerous existence one could be around. Noah did not fully know the extent of her power as his goal at this moment¡­was to rise in strength at a speed fast enough to be capable of oveing this being- and he felt like he needed to look at all possible paths to achieve this! He had already conquered the Champions of two Realities and an Ender of a single one, with his progress being extremely fast as at this moment- his goal was to expand with even more haste across more Realities, and understand more about the Primordial before him as he prepared for an uncertain future. Would he be able to ovee this existence that hadn''t even shown the depths of her power? An existence that even as Noah obtained two Cosmic Realm existences under him- he still felt like the same feeling as before¡­where this being was like an insurmountable wall that could not be scaled! Chapter 329 - The Third System! II Chapter 329 - The Third System! II Europa''s eyes shone with sharpness as her Primordial Eye of the Perennial gazed at Noah''s figure that floated in front of the Subjugated figure of the Archaic Beast- Ragnar. Her unique eye could see many things as she felt the fluctuation of soul power overflow from Noah and into the body of the Champion of Reality, and she observed this process carefully as uniquely- Noah would now have means of protecting himself somewhat under her gaze! This was because among the many boons that Noah would collect- among them was the Primordial Eye that Ragnar held. ''Hmph, we''ll see how much longer you can hide around. But finding a single existence across these vast Realities is truly too tasking of a job¡­haaa'' Even though the existence she had chosen as a Champion had fallen under the hands of another, she was actually so carefree as her thoughts didn''t even linger on Ragnar or what his future would be! She instead focused entirely on the existence that was Noah as many thoughts crossed her mind. ''Should I really go to an Elder Primordial? Mmm but that would cause them to know about this anomaly¡­bah, a mere Lower Existence should not cause me such difficulties!'' A sense of frustration welled up within Europa as she watched a vast majority of Noah''s soul cluster around her Champion of Reality- this being going ahead to relieve another System as the Primordial was very curious how he would be capable of doing it! WAA! Within the Origin of Ragnar. Noah''s soul flowed into this existence freely as he utilized his authority to seamlessly fuse with his Subjugation! Under the Authority of the Dominator, whatever Ragnar had¡­was now Noah''s. This contained 7plete and 4 iplete Nomological Edicts, over 100 new Daos, a Primordial Eye, and something even more wondrous! "A System¡­." Noah voiced out within his Soul as with a vast majority of it ced within Ragnar, the Primordial Epitaphs of the Idle Gaming System and the Supreme Necromancer System materialized as now next to them¡­a third Primordial Epitaph was bing fully under the control and authority of a single Dominator! BZZZT! The addition of this System caused Noah''s soul to feel waves of power coursing through it, a constant feeling of strengthening weaving out as his already anomalous soul became even more unruly. The three Primordial Epitaphs of different Systems under Different Primordials all released flows of information into Noah''s soul as he already knew everything there was to know about the Idle Gaming System and the Supreme Necromancer System, but vibrant new flows of information came in at this moment for the Ultimate Evolution System that were quantified and disyed into a brilliant blue text box! {{Ultimate Evolution System}}:: A Reality altering construct developed by the Primordial Europa. Designed uniquely and brought to fruition with her Ascendancy Halo, a Primordial Epitaph of Evolution was utilized as the base as with the activation by the Essence of Reality, the Ultimate Evolution System was achieved. This intricately designed System was made to forge the ultimate predator that adapts to any conditions and undergoes constant Evolution. The features of this System include , , and ... The details of the Ultimate Evolution System designed by Europa appeared within Noah''s mind as his focus very quickly went to the features that came with this System! First of all- it was the domineering Reality altering feature of . :: Your Origin and soul gain the capability to passively devour concepts that are harmful to you, granting you increased resistance as eventually- you will be granted immunity! Possible concepts that can be assimted are Laws, Daos, and Nomological Edicts as with enough exposure- the essence of all of these concepts can be assimted until they no longer deal any harm to you, bing nullified entirely. All that the master of the Ultimate Evolution System has to do is survive the ravages of these concepts long enough to assimte and build resistance to them, and if the condition of devouring these enemies is met- you can even gainprehension of these concepts... It was the ability that Ragnar disyed where he was absorbing the essence of Noah''s Edicts constantly- where if Noah had given him just a few more minutes, he would have developed a ridiculous level of resistance to them that even the horrific damage that he could deal would be nullified eventually! This alone was a terrifying tool as it meant as long as Noahsted long enough in battles...enemies close to his level would have a hard time defeating him as eventually, they wouldn''t even be able to damage him! Even further, if he devoured said enemies...he could even take their concepts that they held so dear. "Good!" His soul was smiling vibrantly as he continued on, gazing at the other features within this glorious system. :: Devouring other existences allows the master of the Ultimate Evolution System to obtain their racial Bloodlines. Different from the Bloodlines one obtains from mes of Edicts, devoured Racial Bloodlines allows the Master of the Ultimate Evolution System to select the most unique aspects of their bloodlines through their genes and fuse them into himself. The maximum number of Genes capable of being infused and altering your Origin are only limited by the strength of your soul. The stronger one''s soul is, the more genes they can collect from different Bloodlines as they gradually adapt their physique into an existence of extreme power... :: An active ability that allows the master of the Ultimate Evolution System to take on the form of all of the genes and Bloodlines of other devoured Existences as they take on a form that elevates their power to an unknown level. It requires the Essence of Reality to activate and the form of Ultimate Predatorsts for as long as one can continue to provide the required Essence of Reality for it. Gene Editor and Ultimate Predator! Thetter was the form that Ragnar was about to take before Noah stopped his ns, and Gene Editor was the unique feature thatplemented Ultimate Assimtor as it dealt with the master of the Ultimate Evolution System being capable of constantly strengthening themselves and their Bloodlines as they took the most fantastical aspects of the genes of racial Bloodlines and edited them unto themselves! It was an astounding feature as with it, the strength of an existence could be raised at an rming degree as Noah couldn''t help but focus on this feature more than anything else. When he did so, his soul awareness shifted as he found himself transported into a unique space. The space was entirely white as a blue light emanated at the center, this light going on to form the illusory image of a naked human being with his arms and legs outstretched, his eyes nk as he held not even an ounce of consciousness! Yet the figure looked exactly the same as Noah as above it, one could see the ster title in bold blue words that read ! Countless blue lines emanated from the illusory figure of Noah as each of them quantified countless things about Noah''s Bloodline, with his being able to see a golden textbox beside the illusory figure that read simply...{Possible Gene Selection}! Chapter 330 - The Third System! III Chapter 330 - The Third System! III Under this feature of the Ultimate Evolution System, Noah saw an illusory blue representation of himself as apart from it, he could also pull up illusory illustrations of the Undead Winged Tiger Ender of Reality, Ragnar, and even his other body traversing in an entirely different Reality. Basically, wherever Noah had a significant portion of his soul in- these were targets that he could utilize for ! He focused on the illusory image of his current body as many words rose up before his eyes. They revolved around the quantification of status values and how they rted to terms of power that Noah knew, and exactly what possibilities there were if one chose to fuse the genes of powerful existences into themselves. Under his illusory image, a few words rose up. (#2):: A body containing the soul of Noah Eckert. Its racial Bloodline potential is low as a human being, with the base racial enhancements at the Universal Fment stage being +10% Increased Speed to Realm Progression, +5% Increased Soul Power, +50% Increased Mana Reserves, +50% Increased Health, +50% Increased Speed, +50% Increased Defense, +50% Increased Destiny and Fortune,+50% Rate of Comprehension and Assimtion of Daos and Nomological Edicts, +10% to the Generation of True Blood¡­[Overall Physical Strength Value: .001], [Overall Soul Strength Value: .1]... His eyes dazzled with light as he saw what his base racial characteristics of a human granted at the level of Universal Fment- this idea stressing that each racial Bloodline would unlock higher boosts as they achieve greater Realms of power! But as Noah gazed at his own, he shook his head in disappointment as the racial boosts of the human race were truly too abysmal- especially at the Universal Fment Realm! There was also the quantification of physical and soul strength as Values, with there being unique bursts of knowledge about how truly powerful existences ranked their levels of power in terms of a quantified "Value". This was far off from Noah as his current Values were still in decimal points and negligible, with his Soul being the anomaly as it was a single decimal pointpared to his physical strength which was three decimal points! ''Hmmm¡­'' Noah gazed at all of this thoughtfully as he needed a point ofparison, his gaze pulling up the illusory images of Ragnar and the Ender of Reality topare. :: A body containing the soul of Ragnar Vagabond. Its racial Bloodline potential is Medium as a Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer, and it also contains a collection of the strongest genes from the Draconic Archaic Beast, Immemorial Phoenix, Roaming Devilfly, Human, Earth Turtle, and Cosmic Sand Worm. The current racial bloodline fusions have reached the maximum limit that the soul can handle as for any further fusions, the soul must first grow stronger. The base racial enhancements at the Cosmic stage are +933,827% Increased Speed to Realm Progression, +100% Increased Soul Power, +192,834% Increased Mana Reserves, +294,844% Increased Health, +83,485% Increased Speed, +322,749% Increased Defense, +150% Increased Destiny and Fortune,+88,350% Rate of Comprehension and Assimtion of Daos and Nomological Edicts, +180% to the Generation of True Blood¡­[Overall Physical Strength Value: .025], [Overall Soul Strength Value: .01]... :: A body containing the soul of the Undead Ender of Reality- Funereal Devourer. Its racial Bloodline potential is Medium as a Primordial Beast. The base racial enhancements at the Cosmic stage are +99,999% Increased Speed to Realm Progression, +99% Increased Soul Power, +99,999% Increased Mana Reserves, +99,999% Increased Health, +99,999% Increased Speed, +99,999% Increased Defense, +99% Increased Destiny and Fortune,+99,999% Rate of Comprehension and Assimtion of Daos and Nomological Edicts, +99% to the Generation of True Blood¡­[Overall Physical Strength Value: .02], [Overall Soul Strength Value: .02]... A glorious set of details appeared for the Champion of Reality and the Ender of Reality that Noah now had control over! A shocking amount of information was filled within these details as the first one that Noah honed in on was for Ragnar- it was the fact that being had actually fused the maximum amount of genes that his soul could allow him as the base enhancements he had from all these Fusions was simply monstrouspared to Noah. No wonder the Champion of Reality had already reached the Cosmic Realm! No wonder his power was so frightful! His Mana Reserves, Health¡­every stat that his racial Bloodline boosted was elevated to a crazy degree as apart from all of these wondrous numbers, Noah couldn''t help but notice that one of the only things he beat this terrifying existence at was of course¡­his soul. Noah had a Value of .1 for his Soul Strength as it was ten timespared to Ragnar''s Value for Soul Strength that was at. 01! This was why he had won in a battle of mental strength, with his anomaly of a soul that had devoured quintillions and continued to subjugate countless existences to elevate itself even further being his strongest suit as he even won against a Champion of Reality in this aspect¡­and even the Ender of Reality. When Noah did gaze at the stats of the Ender of Reality, he also couldn''t help but be shocked as even though this creature did not have any racial Bloodlines fused into it, some of its values were exceedingly high as the Bloodline of a Primordial Beast came with profound perks! The set of numbers listed also couldn''t escape his eyes as in a terrifying fashion, each of them were 99 or 999 or 999,999. Almost as if the boosts of the Cosmic Primordial Beast were standardized. Almost as if it was all by design! WAA! Such a thought caused Noah''s mind to buzz with unknown possibilities as he quickly put this mystery aside for now, intent on fully understanding the new System he got his hands on as he saw with his obscenely strong soul¡­he could utilize the Ultimate Evolution System better than Ragnar alone ever could. Ragnar had fused the strongest genes from Seven different races before his soul couldn''t handle any more additions and he already had such ridiculous racial attributes that even exceeded a Primordial Beast. Noah with his strong soul could fuse even more genes of racial Bloodlines as he wanted to start utilizing this System right away to fuse as many powerful genes of fantastical racial Bloodlines as he could! And gloriously, he had the racial Bloodlines of an Ender of Reality and a Champion of Reality right before him to begin testing with! Chapter 331 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! I

Chapter 331 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! I

An existence sought to change his bloodline and infuse it with the racial Bloodlines of powerful beings, and he stupendously had an Ender of Reality and a Champion of Reality as the first two picks! His soul was already a shocking anomaly as it was ten times stronger than even the Champion of Reality, and now that he would break the shackles of his normal human Bloodline and infuse the strongest aspects of the genes of an Undead Cosmos Primordial Beast and a Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer that also had the identity of the Champion of Reality? "Begin!" RUMBLE! Noah called out with fervor as with rising excitement he activated the feature of Gene Editor as after this ability was selected, it would normally ask for the source of the Bloodline that the Master of the Ultimate Evolution System sought to pull the strongest genes from. But in this case, Noah already had the body of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer in hand as he began with this terrific creature! He wouldn''t just do the process of for his main body in this Reality, but also for his other body in the conquered Reality that he had the control of both the Ender and Champion already. He would elevate the strength of all of his bodies as with his soul as the link¡­his strength was bound to be stupendous the moment he stepped into the Cosmic Realm and eventually¡­the Cosmic Fment Realm! BZZZT! With the source already in ce, golden blood leaked out from the enormous body of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer as it surged towards Noah''s body. From blood, the secrets of the workings of an existence were hidden as Noah used this method to fuse the most powerful Genes of the Champion of Reality onto himself. When the process ended, he would be capable of fully shifting and taking on the form of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer just like Ragnar had been able to take the forms of a Dragon and Phoenix that he fused with himself! WAA! Europa was in the surrounding skies above the Archaic Empire where the battle had concluded as she watched the two figures that still had their eyes closed carry out this process, her expression filled with wonder as she shook her head! "To watch my own System be used to strengthen an anomaly such as this is just¡­" Her eyes held a trace of shock as she felt the waves of the unique authority of a Primordial Epitaph she knew very well to be emanating from Noah''s body- such a thing affirming the unbelievable reality that somehow, this existence had fully gotten his hands on and controlled the Ultimate Evolution System! The more things she confirmed about Noah, the more terrifying his potential seemed as it made her all the hastier to get her hands fully around him. It made her all the hastier to find whichever Reality his other body was hiding in as the possibilities this being held were too astounding! At this moment in time, he had already obtained three Reality altering Constructs, or Systems- as this was already something that shouldn''t be possible. Even Primordials and other Higher Existences set up a single Epitaph within their souls as such a thing upied a trulyrge space within the container that was their soul, all the other portions of this container filled with the concepts of Daos and Nomological Edicts as there was a limit to how much a single soup could take! Yet Noah¡­ Europa shook her head as she watched on carefully, watching the golden blood of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer surround Noah as in the next moment, the authority of the Ultimate Evolution System reverberated out as all the blood sunk into his body. BZZZT! Crackles of profound light and essence rumbled out as Mana freely overflowed, the body of the human Noah seemingly trembling with power and about to explode as in the next instant, all of the clothes on his body were shredded as his figure was unconsciously elevated in the sky, his arms and legs outstretched as a fundamental change urred deep in his soul and origin! He was adding something to himself- something else to what was fully human as after this, it would not be merely human anymore. THUMP! The beat of his heart was like the beat of a war drum as boundless life force erupted out, his already muscr body actually expanding and contracting as if it was rubber- hid muscles and bones undergoing immense changes that stemmed from the depths of his blood and Origin. Among the many changes within his body, this process seemed to stimte the generation of Noah''s True Blood, his progress towards bing a Higher Existence inching ever closer as his statistical values rose forward rapidly! "This guy¡­" Europa watches the astounding process as she saw the transformation entirely be carried out while the body of Noah wasid bare to her eyes, a harrumph escaping the fair mouth of this powerful existence as she spoke out domineeringly when gazing at Noah''s body. "Hmph, I''ve seen better-" She was going to inadvertently disparage a certain ce on Noah''s body, but when her eyes actuallynded on it, she stopped her words as she realized they weren''t actually urate! She shook her head as her eyes refocused to watch the ongoing process of evolution, with this Primordial being the only audience as Noah''s body was reforged and sculpted into a terrifying weapon! As this process urred, Noah''s domineering soul wasn''t sitting still as with the main body in the Second Reality undergoing evolution, his other body within the Third Reality that was already conquered was sitting in meditation as his seas of destiny and fortune swirled around him. He was calmly looking at his destiny and fortune as the glimmers of fate surrounded him, trying his best to find his path forward and how she should move when it came to the terrifying opportunity and enemy that was Europa! He had constantly been doing this as he had stumbled across a few possible paths, but none of them bode too well as Europa was simply too powerful. "Oh?" But there would always be a way. WAA! His eyes shed at this moment as his golden seas of destiny and fortune surged, his soul actually feeling a call from another Reality! A call from a being he had met before- a ridiculous being that might just be more anomalous than him! Chapter 332 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! II

Chapter 332 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! II

A robust and overly strong soul could handle a great deal of things all at once. For Noah, he was managing to observe the constant strengthening of his racial Bloodline as he added the genes of the Champion of Reality, discern a call from a being in another Reality, and also quantify the other gain he had obtained apart from the Ultimate Evolution System from Ragnar! It was, of course, the Primordial Eye that had managed to see through the Archaic King that Noah had sent forth easily- with Ragnar noticing the slight changes within the mind of this being through this terrifying Eye that even Europa had a variation of. As Noah''s soul entered and took over the soul of the Champion of Reality, he didn''t just take the System of this being as he also¡­grasped ownership of the Primordial Eye! Granted through the help of Europa even before Ragnar reached the stage of a Higher Existence, the Primordial Eye was a tool that helped one see the vast truths of the world but also to hide themselves from the peering gazes of others. Noah''s soul fully wrapped around the authority of the Primordial Eye as he took all of it for himself, his Soul shuddering as it seemed to surge with even more power as he assimted this new authority! Information about it gradually flowed into his mind¡­ (Basic):: An Eye of Power that is moremonly found within Higher Existences. It grants its holder the capability to see all constructs in their natural forms and be capable of distinguishing theirposition and origin, including the essence ofws, daos, and to a very limited extent- edicts, and much more. The holder of the Primordial Eye is capable of analyzing and replicating any abilities, skills,ws, or daos they gaze upon- with the exception of Edicts among other concepts. The Primordial Eye can gaze upon many things, and it is also capable of altering the truth of the body, soul, and Origin of the holder to disy only what they wish to disy to others. If a being is capable of gaining both the Primordial Eye and the Eye of Ruination, they can even go as far as being capable to see the barriers between different Realities and go as far as to cross them¡­ Vibrant information flowed into his mind as Noah shockingly opened his eyes, his body finishing the infusion of the Bloodline of the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer Champion of Reality at the same time as he released a shockingly powerful light in the skies. He opened his eyes to see¡­a brand new world. His left eye had lost its beautiful blue luster as a golden white eye could be seen, its iris vibrantly being three stacked golden circles lying atop each other to form a terrific geometric shape! It shed around and gazed at everything as he saw countless multicolored lights of essence around him- lights that made up theposition of space, naturalws that weaved together to put apart the skies themselves¡­he could see it all and break down how it came together in a wondrous fashion through the Primordial Eye. Golden lights ofws and daos seemed to now be fully visible to him as he could reach out and grasp them with ease for them to be fused to Edicts, Noah''s head shaking as he found the versatility of the Primordial Eye to be too wondrous! Even more so¡­he now had a natural shield that would make it hard for others to see things about him! This was the thought that rose as his eyesnded on Europa who was looking at him with raised eyes. He could still see nothing about her even with the gain of a Primordial Eye. But¡­ ''Neither can you now be so easily able to spy on me nor what my soul is doing!'' WAA! His eyes shone with a light of confidence as Europa seemed annoyed and able to understand what his gaze meant, her voice echoing out dangerously. "How long are you nning on streaking in front of a powerful Primordial? Even weak Elder Primordials wouldn''t be so brazen towards me!" ¡­! Noah raised his eyes as he realized how his now reforged body that held pristine muscles and carved abs was fully naked, waving his hands to cause a light blue robe to drape over him, the words of Europa resounding in his mind as even after achieving this stage of power¡­he still couldn''t fathom her power as she spoke of how even Weak Elder Primordials wouldn''t be brazen towards her. Just what identity did this being even have? Noah nearly sighed in defeat as he looked at her, but he imed himself as with a light smile appearing on his lips, he thought of how a portion of his soul was answering the call of a ridiculous existence right at this moment in another Reality. A call from the ridiculous existence that had called down a Primordial to stop the advancement of the Great Usurper, the two of them forming a hazy connection thereafter! It was the being with the same name as him- Noah Osmont! "Let''s see what pathway he can open up for me to resist this terrifying girl¡­" His gaze was watching another Reality entirely as he pulled up Gene Editor once more to look at his current racial boosts and to infuse the Bloodline of the Ender of Reality as well. ¡ª SHAA! Within the Boundary Between Realities, a portion of Noah''s soul had coagted together as it crossed the veils between Reality with the somewhat repaired Sword of Shattered Reality- a broken Primordial Relic that allowed him to traverse Realities even before he gained the things known as a Primordial Eye or Eye of Ruination, and before he became a Higher Existence! His soul merely carried a trace of it as he followed the calling from Osmont and traversed the Boundary Between Realities, arriving at the location before too long as he appeared with a burst of power and glory. WAA! His speed was fast as when he came to a stop, the vibrant figure of the being that had called him could be seen in its entirety as he gazed at aposed figure of a ridiculously handsome man that would put many models on earth to shame, the hair of this being seemingly not deciding on the color it wanted as it waved around with dominance and authority! The power released from Osmont was terrifying as Noah felt it to be around the same level as himself, but still lower than the Cosmic Rank Ender and Champion that he had Subjugated at this moment. Seeing the calm gaze of this being reminded Noah of just how far he hade, and what a refreshing sight it waspared to the feeling of carefulness and danger he had to be on constantly around Europa! Paired with him going through the gains of the newly gained Ultimate Evolution System and Primordial Eye- he couldn''t help but let out a smile andugh. "Haha, Osmont! What took you so long to reach out?" A possible path and helper that could alleviate some of the problems he was having had appeared, and Noah felt like it would be a good time to share and obtain more knowledge about Primordials and many more things! Osmont raised a brow at his greeting as this being spoke with a resonant voice. "What exactly has the Great Usurper in such a good mood?" What caused Noah to feel a little free and full of ease at this moment? Apart from the Primordial Eye that was ayer of security, there was the addition of a Third System as when he remembered how domineering Osmont had been during theirst meeting, he wanted to try being domineering today as he replied with a light smile. "Ah, nothing too major. I just recently managed to subjugate another Champion. What have you been up to?" WAA! Silence descended in their surroundings as Eckert''s smile bloomed even more when he saw the trace of shock on Osmont! Chapter 333 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! I

Chapter 335 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! III

Two anomalous existences stared at each other as sparks flew, Osmont seemingly taking in Noah''s words with surprise as he mentioned the subjugation of Champions! Yet the ster eyes of this existence didn''t reveal too much, and even as Noah''s soul body utilized the authority of the Primordial Eye he just obtained¡­he saw that simr to Europa, he could not find any information on this being before him. ''Just what stage has this guy reached from Antiquity when I first met him¡­'' Noah''s eyes shed with curiosity as his destiny undted in waves, affirming for him that there truly was a path where this being would be able to aid him- whether it was now or in the future! With this in mind, Noah chose to be much more proactive. "I''m surprised that I can''t pull up any information on you, and I''m guessing it must be the same on your end? How about this, I''ll take the first leap of faith and reveal more about myself¡­then we can talk much more freely." As his words ended, his left eye shed as he fully revealed the gold white color of his iris that was now a shape of three stacked triangles, Osmont raising his eyes in surprise as it caused Noah to start smiling¡­but he had to wipe away this smile soon after as after Osmont saw his eye, both of the eyes of this being shed to reveal not one- but two Eyes of Power! One shining gold very simr to his and the other shining crimson as its iris was circr lines constantly drawing anyone''s soul into a deep and endless abyss. Noah couldn''t help but be startled as he asked Osmont how he had achieved two Eyes of Power- where he had only recently gotten his through Ragnar as he barely adjusted to it! "Runic Dao Lines of Ruination and the Primordial Dao, how did you obtain your Primordial Eye?" Osmont mentioned the Runic Dao Lines that Noah had not been paying too much attention to, Noah taking in his words as while shaking his head, he replied about his own Eye of Power. "I just recently obtained my Primordial Eye from the Champion I Subjugated¡­" Noah replied while sighing and shaking his head in defeat, his voice continuing to ring out. "I want to ask you how you were able to deconstruct and reconstruct supreme Daos that are literally required to carry out this process¡­.but it matters not. I''ll just ept that you are as ridiculous if not more as I focus on the task at hand¡­why did you reach out?" Yes. Even though his destiny told him something beneficial would stem from his rtionship with Osmont, he was the one to reach out to him at this moment! What exactly did the anomaly of an existence that was even more ridiculous than him seek? THRUM! Towards this mere question, Osmont smiled devilishly as he waved his hands- the assimted essence of Ruination and Primordial Daos seamlessly erupting from him to form two grandiose thrones- one behind him and one behind Noah as he motioned for them to sit within the Boundary Between Reality! With the both of them seated on their respective thrones, Osmont let his purpose be known as Noah scratched his chin while his eyes released radiant blue light. "You want to know even more about Primordials, Champions, and Systems¡­" Information was a powerful tool as this was what Osmont sought, and it was also something that Noah sought for as well! If he had an overabundance of information on Europa, he would be able to move much more freely as he truly understood the value of information. With that in the back of his mind, Noah began to talk a little about his movements and how they had changed from the initial time the two of them met- how he had stopped running from the idea of Champions and Primordials as he was even bold enough to be ying around a Primordial at this moment! Of course, he couldn''t mention anything about Europa unless he wanted the Origin of one of his bodies to be burnt from the inside out, so he was selective with what he said as anything pertaining to Europa was left out! After Noah talked about his first sessful subjugation of Ezekiel that granted him the Supreme Necromancer System, Eckert''s eyes shone again as this being asked with haste. "Have youe across anything like the Invincible System?" WAA! Such a question brought Noah back to what seemed ages ago even though it was mere weeks- back to the time before his body was entirely destroyed by the Primordial that had forged the Idle Gaming System! He recalled the words of this being back then that had spoken about such a system as he shook his head while replying to Osmont. "Before my original body perished under the hands of the Primordial that granted me my system, he spoke very briefly about the Invincible System. All I gained from it apart from its name was the Primordial responsible for designing this System. It is a Primordial known as Cecilia!" ¡­! His words actually caused Osmont''s eyes to release a terrifying light of battle intent, Noah being shocked yet again as he felt the wild aura that this being had against a Primordial- a gaze of someone that was a predator who was learning about their prey! The look faded quickly as Noah shook his head, continuing to share information about Systems based on his own experiences as he spoke about some of the intricacies of Primordial Epitaps and his Idle Gaming System and the Supreme Necromancer System. His third System was still unfolding before his own eyes right now as he didn''t mention much about it. But in the thought process of helping each other and realizing that Osmont should have his own enemy Champion that he was going against at this moment, Noah couldn''t help but have grand designs of possibly obtaining this so called Invincible System as he asked Noah slowly. "Say...do you need help? My destiny has told me not to delve into your Reality ever since that veiled Primordial who is most likely Cecilia killed my other body during my descent, but I can still do some things if need be¡­" A slight probe from Noah to see if he could easily get his hands on another System! Yet Osmont shook his head as his eyes shed with terrifying killing intent, waves of fortune and destiny erupting around him as this being went on to speak domineeringly. "No...I have already seen many paths and I know what I must do. By the end of it all...the blood of a Primordial shall be spilled!" WAA! Not just his Champion, but he even nned to target the Primordial above him! A wild and terrifying thought that when Noah rted it to the powerful Europa, he couldn''t help but shake his head with helplessness. After Osmont''s grand deration, it was finally time for Noah to be on the receiving end of information as his mind was expanded some more on just what ridiculous reality breaking actions this existence had been doing to achieve the things he had achieved at this moment in time! Chapter 336 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! IV

Chapter 336 Fusing Bloodlines and Probing Destiny! IV

"A Trait that changes your very nature and soul based on the concepts of a GREATER Edict allows you to do such ridiculous things¡­" Information that corrted with aspects of what Noah knew before flowed into his mind as he obtained more information from Osmont. Topics about Nomological Edicts and Traits wereid out as Osmont actually forged his own Traits and Edicts that allowed him to do crazy things! On the subject of Traits that were inherently rooted with the person''s soul and origin, Noah''s thoughts naturally went to the Inherent Skills like Mind Dominator or Telekic Emperor that were branded to hit soul, but they didn''t truly seem like the same concepts as he rejected these thoughts. Even though Osmont didn''t have such a type of concept where new skills will be unlocked every time he entered a new Realm¡­ There were a great deal of things to unpack, but the biggest thing was Noah hearing about an Edict from Osmont termed the Nomological Edict of Samsara! An edict that actually anchored one''s soul to a reality as they could traverse back in time whenever they wished! It was an edict that instantly caused Noah to think of all of his mistakes and even further go back to the first ce he transmigrated in¡­with the parents he had in this life that perished under existences he could now crush with his mere thoughts. What if¡­he had the chance to go back utilizing a profound Nomological Edict such as that? Such a thought caused a tremor to pass through Noah as he sighed, ncing towards Osmont with seriousness as his voice echoed out with him nting seeds for the future. "I''ll let you know if I ever need someone as ridiculous as you to reinforce me. When the both of us start going against Primordials after obtaining a sufficient amount of power¡­" WAA! Battle intent leaked from Noah''s eyes as after the bundles of information he gained from Noah, many new possibilities rose within his mind apart from him focusing on his Systems alone. The importance of Edicts rose up as even though he got them easily from others, he needed to also forge Edicts himself for even more direct power as even this¡­could also be done with the aid of his Systems. As Noah was lost in the possibilities of the future, Osmont replied with a twinkle of gold light within his eyes! "I have seen many possible paths for the future. When traversing across Realities...we will naturally meet and see just how powerful we are!" ¡­! The glow of gold within the eyes of this being was intense as he truly just said how he had seen many paths for the future. ''Since the possibilities are there and it isid out¡­I will wait to see how I can aid you and how you can aid me!'' Noah had such a thought as he gazed at the quiet and endless Boundary Between Realities, thoughts of reminiscence crossing his mind as he couldn''t help but voice out. "We shall see what is in store for us in time¡­but I have to say, I''m truly jealous of you being capable of using the Nomological Edict of Samsara to be capable of returning to any point in time. If I had that...the parents I lost stupidly- I would stand a chance to see them again and even reunite them with my little sister. A chance to make many mistakes and wrongs right¡­Ah, maybe in the future¡­!" He found the words just leaving his mouth as after he affirmed the aid of Osmont for the future, he prepared to leave and see three existences that he had somewhat neglected! His little Sister, Love, Rose¡­he had a minuscule amount of his soul within a body keeping thempany, but he wasn''t truly spending time with them as he felt he should, and he nned to dedicate arger portion of his soul to them while sending them even more loot to elevate their power. If he could easily forge billions of Splendifirous Universes from the loot he obtained in Idle Mode, he could at least allow them to form millions! If he had ess to the knowledge on Daos, Edicts, and Systems, he could share it with them as they sought even greater paths for power! All so that past mistakes would not be repeated. All so that they wouldn''t be easily taken in front of his eyes without him being able to do a single thing. THRUM! Noah felt his eyes release wondrous arcs of blue light as the path in front of him became clear, his heart set on what he should be doing as he nodded towards an absentminded Osmont, this portion of his soul disappearing to go back to his body within the Third Reality! ¡ª Back on the Second Reality. Vibrant waves of ck and gold essence rotated wondrously around Noah, the genes of the Bloodline of the Primordial Beast that was an Undead Ender of Reality also fusing into him seamlessly on top of the genes from the Bloodline of the Champion of Reality! THRUM! His body exploded out of the cocoon of essence as every part of him vibrated with strength, his human form being seemingly painted or carved as everything about it felt unreal. He was quickly draped over with a robe as he could already hear the harrumph from Europa, his now long dark hair actually falling to his shoulders as his eyes shone with a grandiose cerulean luster. He stretched his hands out as he felt the boundless strength within his body, having to ask himself if he had already stepped into a Cosmic Realm as he truly felt like he was overflowing with strength! But when he checked his Origin, he saw that his number of forged Splendifirous Universes had actually reached 50 Billion just in the short span of his infusion of the Bloodlines of an Ender and a Champion of Reality- just the genes of these Bloodlines alone catapulting his strength forward! Halfway towards the Cosmic Realm just from utilizing the Ultimate Evolution System twice! Now, he just needed a few more days of collecting Loot in Idle Mode or fusing a few more bloodlines, and this stage of power would be achieved. Only then would he move out towards his next goal! Thinking of this, Noah couldn''t help but view his information once more while utilizing the Ultimate Evolution System. (#2) :: A body containing the soul of Noah Eckert. Its racial Bloodline potential is medium as a human with the genes of a Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer and Undead Winged Primordial Beast, with the base racial enhancements at the Universal Fment stage being +1,356,231% Increased Speed to Realm Progression, +1,000% Increased Soul Power, +592,486% Increased Mana Reserves, +899,327% Increased Health, +534,245% Increased Speed, +802,485% Increased Defense, +9,000% Increased Destiny and Fortune,+308,524% Rate of Comprehension and Assimtion of Daos and Nomological Edicts, +8,245% to the Generation of True Blood¡­[Overall Physical Strength Value: .05], [Overall Soul Strength Value: .5]...

Chapter 337 It is but an easy task! I

From fusing the extreme aspects of the genes of the Ender of Reality and Champion of Reality, Noah found his new body to contain boundless strength as he uniquely saw that his already powerful Soul had effectively doubled in power, and his Physical prowess had even be twice as powerful as Ragnar or the Undead Ender! One must recall¡­Noah''s own body was not in the Cosmic Realm yet! Yet the fusion of these two unique Bloodlines had actually altered his body and soul so much that his strength had even gone to rival if not surpass these existences at this time. This was the Ultimate Evolution System. And this¡­was just the cusp of it as there were still other features Noah had not yet got the chance to disy! As he felt the boundless strength coursing through him, Noah didn''t forget that such a System was designed by somebody- this existence actually floating not too far from him as if he could gain this much power from infusing the Bloodlines of others unto himself, what about her? What crazy existences had she gotten the Bloodlines of and propelled herself to a crazy stage of power? Such a question was too important as even though they were in the Boundary of Noah''s Mind Realm hidden in the skies above the Archaic Empire, he couldn''t help but ask. "Your Ultimate Evolution System is truly a fantastic reality-altering construct¡­just how far have you gone with it?" WAA! A bold question that caused the Primordial before him to raise her eyes and release a harrumph, a trace of sharpness coursing through her as she spoke delicately with a hint of pride. "You must think that your achievement of fusing the genes of those two little things a big deal¡­but they are merely small fries within Emerging Realities!" ¡­! "I have traversed across Emerging and Prime Realities, Forsaken Treasure Realities, and Forgotten Realities¡­each of them carrying their own unique creatures and existences that I have taken the uniqueness of to myself. The things I have done¡­you wouldn''t be able toprehend them at this moment!" Her gaze seemed forlorn and far as she said this, many things seemingly crossing her mind as she refocused on Noah soon after. "Alright, Little Anomaly. The Champion is under you as you said you would guarantee the safety of this Reality by putting its Ender under your lead, yes? Get to it and let''s see just what else you will be doing. Because after that is done¡­there will be nothing to do within this Reality as naturally, it means you will have to be stepping out of it! I do wonder what destination a creature like you has next¡­" Her eyes seemed to hold a trace of teasing as if she wasn''t just mncholic a second ago, Noah''s eyes shing as he disabled his Mind Realm and looked around them. In the depths of the Archaic Empire, there was a singr golden vibrant portal that wasn''t the entrance to the Ancestral Treasure Dimension- but the entrance to the Cosmic Primordial Rift that Europa had long ago set up to be the one that Ragnar would Ultimate clear to defeat the Ender of Reality. As he looked at this pulsing gateway in the distance, Noah spoke out slowly while waving his hands to call to attention the nearby Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer that was Ragnar and the Undead Winged Tiger. "I''ll send these two to take care of the Ender while I try to achieve something you''ve mentioned before to Ragnar¡­the thing you call an Ascendancy Halo!" WAA! The figures of the Champion of Reality and Ender shed towards the Cosmic Primordial Rift portal with haste as Noah''s eyes remained on Europa, this Primordial looking towards him with a Reality shaking smile as he spoke about one of the many things she had mentioned amidst her conversation with the Champion Noah had Subjugated! The memories of this being were abundant as they showed a great deal of things for the levels of power in the future toe, and Ascendancy Halos were a big part of this. Ascendancy Halos! Standing above the concepts of Daos and Edicts, ancient runic circles could be erected and bound to your origin and soul from the fusion of 15 mes of Edicts- from theing together of 15 fullypleted Nomological Edicts! They elevated one''s strength to a whole new level as Higher Existences focused on forming as many Ascendancy Halos as possible, the only limit these existences had being the strength of their Souls that could amodate a limited number of concepts such as Nomological Edicts. Noah had begun to think about this information from Ragnar''s memories as at this moment, he actually had over 15pleted Edicts when one added the boons of the Edicts he received from Ragnar himself! "Hmm¡­so you really obtain everything from those you subjugate." The voice of Europa shook him out of his thoughts as her small figure came to float near him, circling him as if she were the predator and he the prey. "Don''t you think you''re jumping Iverson a few stages to already have designs on an Ascendancy Halo? Can your body of a Lower Existence even tolerate it? Can you even provide sufficient mana required for the fusion of the mes of Edicts and ultimately the formation of the Ascendancy Halo when you aren''t even in the Cosmic Realm? What Tier of a Halo would you even get with the flimsy low ranking Edicts you''ve collected in this short period of time? Hmph, if you haven''t even be a Higher Existence, don''t even start entertaining sessfully forging an Ascendancy Halo!" WAA! A barrage of questions shot out from her like bullets as Noah''s eyes shed coldly, taking in all of them as he found all the key issues! His Realm was still in the Universal Fment, and he still had not produced enough True Blood of Higher Existences from his Bloodline Edicts as his tier of existence was still Lower! Yet¡­ "Bing a Higher Existence is but an easy task." RUMBLE! His voice echoed out with calmness as he even continued! "And entering the Cosmic Realm¡­it is but a waiting period of a few days." ¡­! Chapter 338 It is but an easy task! II

Chapter 338 It is but an easy task! II

Noah''s words were utterly bold as they caused Europa''s eyes to dazzle with a bright light. The words didn''t seem false as he truly believed it when he said that bing a Higher Existence was an easy task and even the Cosmic Realm would only be a matter of a few days for him! The manner of speaking, the confidence¡­Europa''s sharp eyes finally realized where she had seen them before. Her figure came to a stop in front of him as her shimmering dark hair flowed to her shoulders, her dark eyes that would make existences a hundred times more powerful than this being before her staying focused on him as she finally allowed herself to admit why she continued to be drawn to this anomaly! Why time after time as he showed one impossible thing after another, she didn''t run to an Elder Primordial to seek help in eradicating this beingpletely. It was because his likeness was truly too simr to a person that she held very dear to her that she inadvertently continued to remain interested in this weak being before her- to the point that even her presence here was of constant help to him. An existence like her was extremely powerful, and especially so within her mind as when she had this thought¡­it could be attributed to it being less than a microsecond as she could have millions of thoughts cross her mind as if it was an entire day, while barely less than a second would have passed in the outside world. So even though Noah just finished his domineering words, less than a microsecond had passed as Europa thought about the being that Noah reminded her most about! SHAA! In the depths of her mind, an old memory shed of a Reality extremely far away from here. Within a Prime Reality that was a rank above Emerging Realities that Noah had been in. The figure of Europa was situated atop the head of an enormous statue that was raising its hands towards the peak of an enormous Primordial Temple, over a dozen of other Statues vaster than Cosmos surrounded this temple in an almost circr formation as each of them had the same motion of raising their hands towards the peak! Endless golden staircases could be seen at the bottom of this Primordial Temple as the auras of many beings could be felt ascending and descending these steps, and even more powerful beings within the vast Primordial Temple. Yet all those passing nearby and seeing the figure of Europa above the head of one of the statues only smiled with a gaze of respect and adoration as they went about their business. Not a single one of these beings dared to admonish her for standing above the sacred Primordial Temple, nor would any of them dare to as her status was too high! So she sat calmly in meditation as mes of Edicts surrounded her powerfully, her hands constantly weaving around as some of these mes fused with each other over time, an illusory bright Halo of pristine purple beginning to form around her as she was actually fusing together her mes of Edicts! Yet before she could proceed any further¡­ "Wowow, my little sister is working this hard?" BOOM! The mes wavered and split apart soon after as the vibrant Ascendancy Halo faded away, Europa''s eyes opening up full of anger as she stared to her right where another being had appeared on top of the head of the statue. "You¡­.!" Clenching her fists and rising from anger, she stared at a being with dark mes as hair draping over his shoulders, a wild and unruly look present in his eyes as his presence alone seemed to surpass any other beings within this vast Prime Reality. Hid dark eyes were the same as hers as when she stared at them long enough, her anger faded as she sighed and pouted. "I nearly had another Halopleted and you had to go and ruin it!" The being before herughed lightly as he came and patted her head, his robust voiceing out as he gazed at the temple below them in a calm gaze. "I had toe see my sister before I leave for something dangerous. Won''t you send me off like before?" "Oh?" Europa''s ears perked up as a light of interest covered her eyes. She loved explorations trips like this the most! Yet¡­ "Nope, you''re noting. Far too dangerous for a little runt that hasn''t even reached the Seventh Firmament of Ascendancy yet." ¡­! His words were invible as Europa saw his unshakable gaze and harrumphed, turning her face away as she voiced out in annoyance. "Where are you going anyways?" A light of gold lit up within the eyes of her older brother the moment she asked, his deep voice replying in waves. "I need a particr material and it is actually located within a Forgotten Reality. I''m taking Barbosa this time around to search for what I need and quickly get out." "Barbosa? That creepy dude that calls himself the Gazer? What are you giving him for his service? I''ve heard how cheap he is¡­" ¡­! Europa''s voice came out with a sneer as the being beside herughed while shaking his head. "Now why would you call him creepy? That''s an Elder Primordial at the Seventh Firmament of Ascendancy! Even your Elder Brother here is only two Firmaments above him." His words caused Europa to shake her head as she replied. "I was teaching Junior Sister Snow and others on the Academy grounds when he passed through once. That guy looked towards the daughter of his sworn brother like she was a delicacy to be eaten up as I don''t trust him one bit¡­say, what did he ask for?" Europa was entirely unconvinced as she asked with an inquisitive tone that demanded an answer, her Elder Brother replying with a light tone thereafter. "He just wanted me to help him forge a Primordial Relic, he has already collected the materials for it." "Hmph! I knew it, a greedy guy for sure. And knowing you¡­you agreed in a heartbeat!" She shook her head as she sat back down to get back to her business, her Elder Brother patting her head with a dazzling smile as his sonorous voice echoed out. "It is merely a Primordial Relic, didn''t I tell you I''d forge you one for your 200 millionth birthday? And the Forgotten Reality to explore this time around is far too dangerous as I need something with the unique Edict he has so we can quickly be in and out. After that¡­.I shall hold the cards to chase the Realm of Reality!" RUMBLE! Confidence! Unbound and unshakable confidence followed by the will and skills to cement it¡­this was what the being in her memories held! The memory within her mind faded away as Europa''s eyes refocused on Noah. There was a reason she didn''t bat an eye when she saw his broken Primordial Relic and had only been interested in his anomalous behaviors thereafter without wiping out this being as others would have done! He was someone interesting¡­and Europa wanted to see just how close she woulde to putting this being that had his soul spread out across multiple Realities under her control! --- ! Putting the note here to make sure it''s seen by all and since it won''t fit in notes! So the past few weeks, I had to put Idle System on break while trying to adjust to a new curriculum and change within my dental program, and we got back on track with me testing how I can manage my time with family, program, and novels! As we''ve seen in the past week, it''s worked well so far- but we still have days in between like yesterday where we didn''t have an update for Idle System. This is due to the distribution of my time throughout the day as some days are busier than others, and it''s tough for me to find the time for Idle System on top of my main Novel! Those busy days are of course mostly weekdays when I''m in the clinic and moving around busily. So for the sake of my own sanity and after self-reflection, a decision was made! Due to the time limitations and my life entering a new phase at this moment, I will be forced to reduce my writing time on Weekdays, which means we will only be having Idle System releases on Saturday and Sunday! It''s a bummer for me because I love writing and it''s a rxing thing to be doing on top of everything else, but I have to make sure I have sufficient time for the many things within my life. I love writing Idle System, with this novel always meant to be a supplement to Infinite Mana and expand on the many fantastical things that are out there. Even with the releases being cut down to 2-3 chaps a week during the weekend, I will continue going for it stress-free! As you guys may have noticed, there isn''t privilege set up for this novel at this moment, and I''m not nning on re-establishing it until we can go back to 7+ chaps a week. So money isn''t a factor for this novel as you guys can enjoy the 2-3 chaps on the weekend with your free passes if you wish! It''s aid back journey of an Idle life with even more Systems and will continue as such while expanding the Infinite Realities, and I look forward to finishing the journey of Noah Eckert ^.^ Summary- :: 2-3 Chaps during the weekend, :: Unchanged, normal 14 Chapters a week! Chapter 339 It is but an easy task! III

Chapter 339 It is but an easy task! III

The skies regained their calm. It didn''t seem like a stupendous battle had just urred at all as Noah sent the three Archaic Kings to the Empire below them to maintain order, only he and Europa left in the skies as Noah was the one to speak when he saw something sh within the eyes of this Primordial! "There was a brief second there that you seemed to be reminiscing about something. What''s a great Primordial like yourself thinking back to when you were just looking at me?" WAA! His words caused Europa''s eyes to sh with sharpness as she replied in a sharp tone. "Don''t get toofortable now, Little Anomaly. Tell me, just how do you n to achieve Higher Existence and the Cosmic Realm in a short period of time?" Europa returned to her old self as she shed to appear right before Noah. The beauty of Primordials was truly deadly as Noah''s strong soup had to always be active while being next to this existence, his replying out slowly. "One has to gradually obtain drops of True Blood from the Bloodlines of theirpleted Edicts until they change all the blood within themselves into the True Blood of Higher Existences. I''ve already begun this process¡­but it would take me too many years if I wanted to wait for drops of True Blood to be generated daily! So I will simply¡­take the True Blood of others." ¡­! His words caused Europa''s eyes to widen as she soon spoke while her gaze shone with understanding. "You can even take the True Blood within the existences you dominate¡­that''s just¡­haaa." She shook her head with frustration as even though this being wasn''t born a Higher Existence like her, he still put any lower Existences to shame with how fast he would be one as the means he had were simply ridiculous! His expression was cid as he continued. "My Ender and Champion of Reality have already forged a pathway through the Cosmic Primordial Rift. When the Ender of this Reality falls to them and they return, that will naturally be the time that I also be a Higher Existence." He had sent the Undead Ender from another Reality along with the Champion of this Reality to clear the most powerful Dimensional Rift within these Cosmos, the results of these powerfulbatantsing out soon as Noah infused arge portion of his soul into them that caused their battle power to be elevated even higher! At this moment in the Cosmic Primordial Rift, the Undead Winged Tiger and Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer were battling with an Ender in the form of an elemental made purely of mes. It was an existence with the name of the Cosmic Fire Elemental as it could take on the shape and form of many creatures, but under the assault of two Cosmic Realm Subjugations of Noah who were backed with the Corruption of the Usurper and other tyrannical skills that debuffed enemies, this Ender would notst long as Noah simply remained idle in the skies while talking with Europa! His free tone of speaking seemed to annoy Europa as she scowled before she answered the question he had asked first. "Forming an Ascendancy Halo is a piece of cake as long as you understand the mes of your Edicts and you bring them together to call forth an even higher form of authority. Of course if you don''t have the talent, you can brute force your way like many beings by just utilizing a lot of Units of the Essence of Reality to forcefully connect your mes of Edicts together!" WAA! "You''ll probably only be capable of forging a weak White Tier Halo for your first and second one, but if you are capable of obtaining more Greater Nomological Edicts and the even higher Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts and Insuperable Nomological Edicts¡­the Blue and Purple Tier Nomological Edicts are a possibility! Of course, someone like you can probably forget about the Gold Tier Ascendancy Halo¡­" Her eyes carried a hint of insult and confidence as Noah asked curiously after he found the Tiers of Ascendancy Halos to be White, Blue, Purple, and then Gold! "Why would gold be an impossibility?" "Hmph, that''s too many questions and free answers that I''m giving to you for nothing. Spark my attention with something big once more, maybe then I''ll be more interested in talking¡­" She moved away from him as her gaze turned nonchnt, Noah nearly sighing with frustration when talking to this ridiculous existence as at this moment¡­ BZZZT! The vast Rift Portal at the center of the Archaic Empire began to tremble! Noah didn''t need to wonder why as he already felt the Cosmic Fire Elemental finally perishing under a Cosmic destroying attack from the Undead Winged Tiger Ender, this enemy bing surrounded by the authority of the Supreme Necromancer System as it rose to be yet another Undead Vassal under Noah! The Third Cosmic Realm existence he had under him while he wasn''t even at this stage himself. SHAA! The figures of the Archaic form of Ragnar as the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer appeared along with the Undead Winged Tiger and the newly inducted Undead Cosmic Fire Elemental- all of them being kicked out of the Dimensional Rift that was breaking down in a ster fashion after Noah cleared everything within it. The glimmering blue prompt telling Noah that the Cosmic Primordial Rift was added to Idle Mode shed before his eyes as he smiled brightly, watching the figures of his Vassalsing their way as his body crackled with excitement in the skies, his voice echoing out slowly. "Let me show you how I can achieve 100 True Blood within my body and attain the stage of a Higher Existence¡­" OOOM! His words wereced with confidence as he gazed at the two Undead Enders of Reality and Ragnar, these three beings all having different percentages of True Blood within their bodies as neither of them managed to reach 100%! But if one added up all their progress and Noah''s own progress¡­ "Haha,e!" Hismanding voice echoed out as his Vassals listened to it without a singleint! Their Daos were his. Their Edicts were his. Their concentration of True Blood¡­it was also his for the taking as he would take from each of them to elevate his tier of Existence from Lower to Higher! Chapter 340 Higher Existence! I

Chapter 340 Higher Existence! I

A glorious scene was taking ce in the skies of a vast that was the size of a Cosmos. A single humanoid existence beckoned hismands towards two Undead Enders of Reality and a Champion of Reality as these terrific existences came to float before him- their defensesid bare as their very chests split open to reveal golden blood leaking out of them and towards the humanoid figure! Golden True Blood that all powerful creatures cultivated in order to achieve a higher tier of existence- such dazzling achievements flowed freely as the humanoid body took it all in greedily. BZZZT! The circling of wild essence began to rage in the surroundings as Noah did such a thing, the only one witnessing this being a powerful Primordial that looked at his actions with a sense of awe and interest akin to watching a burning Cosmos undergo an Apocalypse, and yet this same Cosmos would traverse through space and cause even more of a wreckage and apocalypse around it as those watching just couldn''t keep their eyes off! With glimmering eyes, she watched as small incandescent rivers of True Blood formed from the three Cosmic Realm Enders and Champion of Reality as Noah swallowed in all, changes soon urring as a hazy cocoon of golden light began to wrap around Noah soon after. This cocoon was extremely unique as the terrific multi-colored Essence of Reality leaked from the surrounding space and surged within it, Noah''s body that was already changed with the infusion of genes about to be further elevated again as this time, the forging of his body and soul would be done by the Essence of Reality! "Haa¡­this fucker is actually going to do it like this¡­" Europa spoke with a light voice as she shook her head, watching the metamorphosis of an Origin and soul be carried out calmly as a golden cocoon fully formed around Noah within moments! The bodies of the Enders and Champion of Reality trembled weakly as their chests closed back up, all three turning into protective lights as even in their weakness¡­they floated with heavy eyes to protect their master during his transformation. Europa gazed at these three as if they were fools. "Little subjugations¡­my presence here alone here would ensure your Master''s life even against Seventh Firmament existences¡­" She shook her head with an amused smile as she thought of the many changes one would go through when bing a Higher Existence. The metamorphosis of body and soul! ''Hmmm¡­Soul?'' Europa''s eyes lit up when she thought about this, a hint of excitement soon rising within her as she thought rapidly. ''If he is undergoing the change here, then wherever portions of his soul are across Realities¡­they will also be affected! I can narrow my search to Realities that currently have such a process taking ce as I might actually find the other bodies this guy had hidden!'' RUMBLE! Ingenuity and power shone within her eyes as her body fluctuated silently, balls of light shooting from her and disappearing as they surged to different directions! Each of them hid in theyers of space as they formed into Clones of Europa, a unique authority wrapping around their bodies as they easily stepped outside of the current Reality and surged into the Boundary Between Realities. Unlike when in front of Noah, each of these Clones of Europa released terrifying power as their bodies were surrounded by illusory Halos of light shining with glorious colors, and they currently moved across the Boundary Between Realities while releasing their tumultuous auras over any nearby Realities they came across until they found what they wanted! A metamorphosis of body and soul! Europa was right about this as truly as this moment, Noah found that his body and all portions of his Soul were affected by the transformation! Information flowed through his mind as prompts that described all of theing changes. THRUM! Not just within this Reality, but Noah''s body within the Third Reality where Ezekiel called home surged as another cocoon formed around it- his soul within this body undergoing the same grand changes! It wasn''t just this as even the body of a Subjugated Blessed where Noah put a small portion of his Soul to be around Annalise, Rose, and Love¡­even this body was affected as the Soul within it was targeted to change. They were bathed in the Essence of Reality and changed on a fundamental level as within a moment, the aura of a unique existence began to emanate from these bodies! WAA! Information continued to flow within his mind as while the golden cocoon with multicolored lights surged around him, he was granted a grand title that only those stepping on the true path of power held. The title of a Higher Existence! The information he truly wanted to know surged in his mind as this mystery was unveiled fully before his eyes! {:: A title granted to aplished existences that have had their Origins forged by the Essence of Reality itself. The Stage of a Higher Existence allows one to seamlessly break the bounds of their Reality and traverse outside of it as one feels a pull within their very Origin towards the Main Reality. The Origin of a Higher Existence is unique as the True Blood coursing through it allows for the passive formation of 100 Million Splendiferous Universes daily, as well as the capability to store and utilize the Essence of Reality within one''s origin. The regeneration of Essence of Reality is an extremely hard task as the easiest way is to meet the prerequisite of forging an Ascendant Halo through the connection of 15 mes of Edicts. A formed Ascendant Halo can allow the formation of a connection to a Reality under unique conditions and requirements that as long as they are met, one can continue to gain a slow rate of regeneration of the Essence of Reality. Other ways to regenerate the Essence of Reality may exist as they await your exploration. With the Origin of a Higher Existence, one can easily design their own Lesser and Grand Daos as they are also proficient in designing Cosmic Daos, and the fusion of these Daos and Laws into Edicts can be done with much more ease as the Primordial Eye is naturally granted¡­} {...As a Higher Existence, all those below you can only gaze at your grandeur as you release a natural Aura of Ascendancy that grants you immunity from any Laws, Lesser Daos, and Grand Daos that Lower Existences utilize against you. The effectiveness of Cosmic Daos being utilized against you from Lower Existences is also reduced by 90% as the effectiveness of Nomological Edicts of the MINOR Rank is reduced by 50%. A passive immunity of 20% against True Annihtory Soul and Physical Damage is also granted against Lower and Higher Existences. The elevation as a Higher Existence also allows for the recalibration of all of your quantified statuses into a singr status value termed Ascendancy Value. The Ascendancy Value of a Higher Existence ounts for their base damage, defensive, and all other parameters as it can be raised by the elevation in Realm,pleted Daos and Edicts, and even more greatly elevated through the formation of Ascendancy Halos through mes of Edicts. Current Ascendancy Value: .65 ¡­! After a glorious metamorphosis, Noah''s soul glimmered with unseen waves of power and light as he obtained another level of designation as an existence! Chapter 341 Higher Existence! II

Chapter 341 Higher Existence! II

All of his Status Values culminated into a single Value known as an Ascendancy Value when he became a higher Existence! A number that told of the power a being could disy¡­and Noah wondered how different it waspared to the ''Value'' listed when looking through the Ultimate Evolution System that showed the Soul and Physical Values of an existence. It was an intuitive concept as Noah looked forward to exploring even more of the possibilities contained within this higher tier of existence, especially since his elevation seemed to be different from others as it was more entwined with his Soul. Where his soul resided the most, the more authority of a Higher Existence it could disy! But the stage of a Higher Existence was extremely unique as with it, one could contain reserves of the Essence of Reality and there were even methods to generate Essence of Reality through the concept of Ascendancy Halos. So long as one fused the mes of 15 Nomological Edicts, an Ascendancy Halo would be forged as with it¡­one couldy out an authority over a whole Reality to begin passively generating Units of the Essence of Reality. This was what Primordials did as Europa, Cecilia who had killed one of Noah''s bodies, and the first Primordial who forged Noah''s own Idle Gaming System¡­they all held Ascendancy Halos and oversaw Realities for the perks of passively generating the stupendous Essence of Reality that activated and kept active Systems that altered one''s surrounding Reality! These were just some of the concepts that came into the picture for Higher Existences, and Noah took everything in at this moment as the process drew to a close while he broke out of the golden cocoons across multiple Realities. BZZZT! What stepped out from the cocoon was the beautifully molded body of an existence that surpassed any of the celebrities in Noah''s homeworld when he was alive- being sculpted to fantastical degrees as even he himself would sigh endlessly if there was a mirror. The cracking of the cocoon was a symbolic gesture as many things could be gleaned from it, but Noah heard a frustrated sigh from the Primordial who was watching all of it as her voice echoed out. "Couldn''t you have continued this process just a little longer? I was only able to cover a few dozen nearby Realities¡­" ¡­! Terrifying words that caused Noah''s eyes to contract echoed out as cerulean arcs of light shot forth from him, but he only gazed at Europa as even though he became a Higher Existence and seemingly advanced close to her realm of power¡­he only felt like he could barely now sense the huge gulf that existed between them. He felt like whenever she wished, she could pinch her fingers and snuff him out of existence! "You were looking for me across other Realities?" He spoke carefully as he measured his words while facing this terrifying being. Her dark hair glimmered in the light as she smiled devilishly at his words, appearing before him with an oppressive aura erupting from her for the first time in a long time since they had been moving together as she spoke three words! "Yes¡­so what?" ¡­! So what! A question that a being of absolute power told another as if she wanted to do something, what could the other side do?! "I want to have a curious thing like youpletely under my grasp. With your rate of progression and collection of Reality altering Constructs onto your soul¡­it wouldn''t be surprising for you to be quickly ascending the Scales of the Firmaments and even near my stage of power¡­" Her eyes held an enticing light that seemed to draw everything in, but it was also filled with a Tyrannical light that nobody would dare deny as even Noah felt his recently reforged soul trembling! "Before that, I want to control you entirely. All the bodies you have hidden across Realities. If I didn''t hate this Elder Primordial calling himself the Gazer, I would have already gone to him and have you located wherever you''re hiding¡­so you can thank your Destiny that I do not wish to put that vile thing under my employment. But ultimately¡­I will have all of you, Noah Eckert!" "..." An oppressive silence descended on the surroundings as not just Noah, but the pressure that Europa released even caused the two Enders of Reality and the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer that was the Champion of Reality to be incapacitated from this pressure alone. Yet Noah remained calm even while his soul shook, his wordsing out controlled and slow. "We shall see whether you will seed¡­or if I will reach whatever stage of power your Ascendancy Value signifies and gaze at you with the same eyes you gaze at me now." ¡­! A challenge! This was what Noah threw out as the devilish smile on Europa only intensified while her figure rose away from Noah, the pressure from her only intensifying! "Good! Good! Then I will tell you now the gaps in our power¡­" BOOM! Her body exploded with a horrific aura as the blue skies changed color to be painted purple and gold, Noah seeing an unbelievable scene of regally shining Halos of light erupt and gloriously surround the body of Europa! It wasn''t just rings of bright light- but these rings seemed to be the coagtion of countless runic lines screaming of the mes of Edicts that came together to give the outline of an astoundingly shining Halo of Ascendancy. On the small body of Europa, 10 Ascendancy Halos could be seen as shockingly, all of them except a single one were all purple in color! Thest one shone with a bright gold luster as it made her figure be bathed with a Cosmic light of regality, her voice beginning to echo out as she showed her power. "Across the vast Realities, Higher Existences fight for Ascendancy as they scale the Firmaments¡­with stages of power ranging from the Weakest First Firmament of Ascendancy which an existence enters when reaching an Ascendancy Value of 1, all the way to the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy right before one can fight for the Realm of Reality!" WAA! The stages of power began to beid out before Noah''s eyes as it turned out this existence he had connected himself to was far more mysterious and powerful than he ever imagined! Chapter 342 Be Idle and Enter the Cosmic Realm! I

Chapter 342 Be Idle and Enter the Cosmic Realm! I

In the skies above the Archaic Empire, a shocking scene was urring as an aura of immense power erupted out to epass everything below! The existences living not just in the center of the Archaic Empire, but all those within these Lands and the Cosmos surrounding it felt this unsurpassed aura of power as they all shook where they stood. The figure in question had her dark hair waving calmly as ten Halos of light surrounded her body up and down, each of them shining with profound luster as 9 were beautifully purple with the tenth shining in a brilliant luster of gold. Each of them was an Ascendancy Halo that represented 15 mes of Nomological Edicts, and their color represented a profound Tier of a Halo as Noah didn''t fully know what the color purple and gold represented! Shining with such awe-inspiring luster, Europa spoke about the Scales of Ascendancy that went from the First to the Ninth. "An existence exceeding the Ascendancy Value of 100 enters the Second Firmament of Ascendancy, and exceeding 1,000 counts one at the Third Firmament. Then it''s 10,000, 100,000, 1 million for the fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Firmament of Ascendancy." ¡­! Her voice echoed out mesmerizingly as she held a mischievous tone, somehow finding this entire situation fun as she waited to see just what reaction Noah would have from truly understanding the gap in their power. "I stand over 10 Million for my Ascendancy Value as I am at the Seventh Firmament, this Emerging Reality being one among the dozens I manage on top of a few Prime Realities far vaster than anything you have seen. That¡­is the person targeting you at this moment, Noah Eckert." "And that is without me even mentioning which Primordial Cardinal Royal Bloodline Ie from or my true background¡­Do you really think I won''t seed? That you will somehowe out on top against someone like me? " Her figure undted with the fantastical Halos as she drew closer to Noah, nketing him with the immense pressure as every part of him screamed and wanted to kneel down at this power, but he remained strong as with sweat forming over his brow, he struggled to get his words out. "It is only¡­but a matter of time." ¡­! Destiny and fortune swirled with his words as they gave off unbound confidence! Time. This word only made the dazzling smile on Europa shine ever brighter as her dark hair danced madly, the Ascendancy Halos around her fading away as she was close enough to Noah that if either side moved, it coulde in contact with the face of the other. "Not even a single ounce of despair?" Europa raised her brows as her eyes twinkled, Noah feeling his body gain control again as he sighed and looked at the figure before him closely. He truly wasn''t worried as based on his current speed of progression, the future truly wasn''t a problem to him as the only question was where he went from here! Thinking about this, he locked his blue eyes with the endless ck eyes of Europa as he spoke. "I won''t be fearful of anything as I believe I can ovee everything! Even now, I have ovee everything within this Reality as I will be leaving for another Reality soon to ovee more Champions and Enders!" "Hmm?" His words caused a frown to appear on Europa as she shook her head vehemently while replying. "Nope, that just won''t do. You are already near the First Firmament of Ascendancy as you will have no challenges in Emerging Realities, and you''ll be entirely eradicated by the Bloodlines within Prime Realities that mostly have Seventh Firmament existences and above protecting them. I won''t sit around and watch something so nd as there has to be a ster path for you!" ¡­! Her words seemed undeniable as Noah raised his eyes, but he didn''t protest as he simply spoke calmly. "Then where would the great Primordial Europa wish for the poor little me to go?" The sarcasm in his tone was palpable as Europa harrumphed right away, Noah feeling a terrifying wave of power hit him as he instantly felt his Origin destabilized! Europa only continued to gaze at him after that as she seemed to be thinking about exactly where Noah should be going after this. It wasn''t long before her eyes began to brighten up as her sonorous words began to resound again! "There is a truly detestable existence that has gone to surpass the Firmaments and achieved the stage of Reality. A creature from the Telos Bloodline that thrives on destruction and Catastrophe of Realities¡­" WAA! Noah''s eyes released arcs of blue light as he listened closely, Europa speaking about an existence that had achieved so much with disdain as she continued. "To satiate his hunger for destruction while not angering too many powerful Legends that have reached the stage of Reality among the Primordials, this Telos Legend utilizes a ridiculous Edict that transforms specific Emerging and Prime Realities into Continuum Apocalypse Realities. Realities that thrive on destruction and death as they use the soul energy of the existences toiling within for essence while undergoing cycles of life and destruction." ¡­! "To maintain the constant cycle of destruction and rebirth within these Continuum Apocalypse Realities, he ys games with the inhabitants as for every cycle, he introduces enemies into these Realities that will bring down an apocalypse through dimensional dungeons, and he then passes the inhabitants of the Realities the task of trying to stop their own home from facing the very same apocalypse he introduced. Champions and Heroes rise to prevent apocalypses as they all eventually fail, with the Reality undergoing an apocalypse that wipes out everything before it is all reset¡­the souls of existences within used as fuel as they are preserved for the next cycle of what this Telos Legend considers games." WAA! Terrifying words came out of Europa''s mouth as Noah''s face hardened the more he heard! Dimensional Dungeons! This was the set of words from everything she said that made Noah want to be in this location right away as he thought of his Idle Gaming System! Yet Europa continued unhindered at this moment as she didn''t pay attention to his fluctuating emotions. "It''s something that has been urring for so long that criminals aremonly sent there as invaders or defenders to participate in the cycles of Apocalypse, with those seeding being granted power and treasures out of their wildest dreams and those that fail¡­having their souls locked into these Realities and used as fuel for however many cycles until they perish. Of course, those who do willingly choose to enter a Continuum Apocalypse Reality more often than not choose to be on the side of invaders that bring the apocalypse, with those of different Scales of Ascendancy ced in different tiers of Continuum Apocalypse Reality to fight for Supremacy." "So if you were to ever go some ce interesting¡­it would have to be there! Within a Continuum Apocalypse Reality!" WAA! Chapter 343 Be Idle and Enter the Cosmic Realm! II

Chapter 343 Be Idle and Enter the Cosmic Realm! II

Europa''s face was filled with confidence as she spoke about Continuum Apocalypse Realities, and even excitement seemed to be crossing her eyes as she wondered how Noah would fare! "Within the cycles of Apocalypse, you''lle across interesting Champions and Invaders, with some choosing unique scenarios if they pay a high enough price and they are willing entrants. Those who wish to temper themselves from powerful Bloodlines will pay Soul Crystals to achieve perks while fighting within a cycle of a Continuum Apocalypse Reality, with some choosing perks of knowing how parts of the future of that Reality will y out as they are known as Reincarnators. Others choose perks of powerful Systems, others want themselves to have most of the Destiny of that cycle around them in order to act like a central figure or main character of some story¡­any background is possible if you pay enough of a price to enter a Continuum Apocalypse Reality. And the boons if you aplish the goal of whatever side you join¡­ah, it is too enticing as it is the reason that Telos Legend has remained prominent and more powerful over the billions of years!" ¡­! A shocking set of words filled with possibilities bloomed as a possible path opened itself for Noah to choose! Noah thought about it closely as he could feel his own destiny churning, this horrendous ce of death and Apocalypse seeming like the perfect location for him as he gazed at the excited figure of Europa while asking. "You said this Telos Legend that had achieved the stage of Reality has been doing this for millions of years¡­why would the Primordial Legends not do anything about him as he conducts these cycles of Apocalypses and grinding down the souls of countless existences? Aren''t Primordials the so-called protectors and Overseers of these countless Realities?" ¡­! "Oh?" A question that deserved a thorough answer! Europa circled around Noah''s body as her eyes shed, her voice echoing out in a mesmerizing fashion soon after as she turned her head and gazed upwards. "It''s all a game of benefits. These countless Realities¡­is all about existences continuing to seek endless power over each other as every single being tries to vie for Supremacy. The Telos Legend has been helpful and aids some powerful Primordial Legends as over the years, he has be one of the many ''necessary evils'' that are kept around with nothing being done to them. Even though the Bloodline of Telos are existences that constantly devour emerging Realities and Primordials routinely set off to hunt them¡­one of the major ones who is known stays atop a throne of Apocalypse as he oversees multiple Prime Realities and continues growing stronger through cycles of Destruction¡­." Her dark eyes seemed to actually shine with anger and shame as she spoke of this, continuing to gaze up towards the unknown as her voice fell onto Noah''s ears! "That is why he and other simr terrifying creatures are still around, with major Bloodlines even choosing to participate in their affairs as I mentioned before. Across these vast Realities, there is no good or evil¡­no right or wrong! There are only benefits and power. If you have the power, you can set the status quo on what is right and wrong. You can call yourself a protector and Overseer, and you canbel others criminals or those seeking to cause chaos and destruction as they deserve to be killed! If you have the power, Noah Eckert¡­" Her eyes came down as they pulled back any emotion they revealed and returned to calmness as she gazed at him with solemnity. "If you have the power, you can set the rules yourself and not be under the control of others. But if you have a level of strength that countless beings across the Infinite Realities have already reached, then you can only be ordered around and bend to the will of others. Just like how I am telling you that your next location after this Reality is a Continuum Apocalypse reality¡­" ¡­! A smile reappeared on her face as she returned to a mischievous appearance like she was a harmless existence! Her words trailed off as Noah''s eyes released arcs of light while he finished her words. "...I can only bend my will and agree." WAA! "Haha, good boy. We''ll make our way towards a White Tier Continuum Apocalypse Reality and see how you fare¡­" She shed behind him and ced her small feet over his broad shoulders, her expression vibrant as if she had finally drilled a crucial lesson into Noah! But even though it was like this, Noah only showed an unwilling and unresigned look outside while on the inside¡­he was looking forward to it all! A Reality he had never been to and wouldn''t have even known about if it weren''t for Europa, and she would even bring him there as however dreadful it was¡­it seemed like a paradise for him to grow his power. So he simply raised his head to gaze at the being quite literally standing over him as his voice came out calmly. "Okay. But before all that, I need just a few days of being idle." "Being idle¡­?" Europa raised her brows dangerously as Noah nodded. "Being idle. If I just stay Idle for a few days, I''ll enter the Cosmic Realm and achieve the First Firmament of Ascendancy." ¡­! Noah said this with confidence as his current Value was at .65! The moment he broke into the Cosmic Real with this body, that meant a rise in power by multiple times over as he should exceed one entirely. Europa looked into his unblinking eyes as she snorted and waved her hands. "Hurry it up. I''ll have my Clones confirm exactly which White Tier Continuum Apocalypse Reality to put you in. Oh and if you have any treasures that you can use to buy yourself an identity perk¡­haha!" The small but blessed Primordialughed vibrantly as she seemed to already be imagining a colorful future, but Noah ignored this as he nned to spend the next few days limating to the genes he had fused into himself with the Ultimate Evolution System and the power of a Higher Existence, as well as thebining of his mes of Edicts into an Ascendancy Halo while collecting Loot in Idle Mode and forging billions of Splendiferous Universes. He would do all of this while being idle as after a few days, he would naturally enter the Cosmic Realm as after the clearing of the Cosmic Primordial Rift by the Ender and Champion of Reality under him, he cut his time by a few days as he was obtaining enough Primordial Hearts to forge over 30 Billion Splendiferous Universes every single day¡­this source of Loot also being the key to repairing the Primordial Relic, the Sword of Shattered Reality! Chapter 344 COSMIC!

Chapter 344 COSMIC!

BZZZT! Arcs of essence shed around madly as a pristine figure could be seen absorbing multicolored Primordial Hearts, his Origin vibrant as it already attained over 98 Billion Splendiferous Universes and was nearly at the finish line to be a Cosmos. This wasn''t all as around his body, a ring of light that releases dazzling rays of white light could be seen- this white nearly having a tint of blue matching very well with the cerulean arcs of light shooting off from his eyes at this moment! A mere few days had passed as Noah collected the Idle Loot that came from clearing a cluster of Dimensional Rift from this cluster of Cosmos that had the Archaic Empire at its core, with him making great progress while simply limating to his new power and nning what to do for the future. One of the things he did apart from delving into the Archaic Empire and living like a king as he actually had its Cosmic Rank Ruler as a subjugated being was thebining of his mes of Edicts into an Ascendancy Halo. A Halo of profound light that he had seen Europa have a ridiculous ten of, and he had only managed to forge one at this moment as it was still a point of achievement for him! His was sadly only of the White Tier as from Europa, he learned that the Tiers of Ascendancy Halo were White, Blue, Purple, and then Gold. The higher the tier, the more powerful one''s Halo was as the white ring of runic light spinning around him now was still a glorious achievement that more than quadrupled his Ascendancy Value and allowed him to officially get past the Value of 1 even when he hadn''t achieved the Cosmic Realm! He entered the folds of the Firmaments of Ascendancy while still in the Universal Fment Realm. How grand! How stupendous! It was made possible due to this Ascendancy Halo as for the reason that it was even possible for him to forge it? It was all due to his Vassals! The Edicts of his Subjugated Vassals were automatically made his as between all those he collected and those from two Enders of Reality and a Champion of Reality¡­he now had over 25 Nomological Edicts to y around with! 18 of these were fullypleted as he had their mes, with the unique thing about these concepts being the fact that most of them generally went towards increasing Noah''s offensive or defensive capabilities, with the offensive Greater Nomological Edicts barely being on the same level as his own Nomological Edict of Adumbral as he much preferred using this over many other offensive daos that just didn''t seem up to par. This made him realize that the Edicts he forged himself and designed with his own spectacr imagination would be multiple times more powerful than those he took from others, so he simply made a goal for the future to forge as many powerful Edicts as he could on his own! Of course, since he was connected to the souls of his Subjugated Blessed and Undead Vassals, he could have them make progress on fusingws and daos as under his direction, an optimum Edict that he designed would bloom as he would receive a glorious prompt that rose over his eyes not too long ago. WAA! A forging of a Greater Nomological Edict in the span of a few days from his Vassals under his directions and specifications while he himself was idly devouring Primordial Hearts! This was what it meant to be idle, and what Noah nned to do from now on! He would be using his Subjugations and Undead Vassals to assimte any Daos while all those with talent would go towards forging Nomological Edicts for him. He was forging a Greater Nomological Edict every few days as he had Cosmic Rank Enders and a Champion at this time, but what would happen if on this White Tier Continuum Apocalypse Reality that Europa was taking him to¡­what if he subjugated tens or hundreds of beings of such stature? Would he not then be capable of forging multiple Edicts daily?! Not even that, but every being he subjugated of that level, they would already have a range of 5-10 Edicts if not more that he would directly receive from them! This was his future. All it required was for him to be strong enough to actualize it as at this moment¡­ BZZZT! His dark hair flowed with the wind while his blue eyes shone with bedazzled light, the 100 Billionth Splendiferous Universe being achieved within his Reality as this body had reached a precipice. Thereafter, a Boundary began to form over the 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes as it seemingly copsed onto itself before an instantter¡­ BOOOM! An explosive sound echoed out from Noah''s chest as from 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes¡­a Cosmos bloomed. On his chest, the illusory light ster light of a dazzling Cosmos could be seen as it caused Noah''s figure to look like a genuine cosmic being forged from the furthest stars! He was currently situated in the garden of the Archaic castle where Ragnar used to reside in the past, his body rising from verdant swaying grass below him as undtions of power weaved around him, his soul shuddering with joy at the new stage he had achieved as he felt new abilities unlocking from the skill trees of Mind Dominator, Telekic Emperor, and Ancient Mind! But more than that, his Origin felt a surge of power as his Ascendancy Value rose greatly once more, this time breaking through the single digits and going past 10 from the measly .65 he was at just days ago. WAA! The air of surging essence around him calmed not too long after as while his figure was enthroned by scintiting light, his blue eyes opened to gaze at his current statistical values through the eyes of the Ultimate Evolution System. (#2) :: A body containing the soul of Noah Eckert. Its racial Bloodline potential is medium as a human with the genes of a Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer and Undead Winged Primordial Beast, with the base racial enhancements at the Universal Fment stage being +1,976,231% Increased Speed to Realm Progression, +2,000% Increased Soul Power, +973,486% Increased Mana Reserves, +1,524,347% Increased Health, +984,245% Increased Speed, +1,242,665% Increased Defense, +20,000% Increased Destiny and Fortune,+703,524% Rate of Comprehension and Assimtion of Daos and Nomological Edicts, +90,245% to the Generation of True Blood¡­[Overall Physical Strength Value: 12], [Overall Soul Strength Value: 18], [Overall Ascendancy Value: 20]... A ridiculous value that was only made possible due to his three Reality altering Systems and his anomalous soul, but even Noah did not fully rely on this value as for the cards on his hands¡­he could even deploy three Cosmic Realm beings! As he assessed the changed values and how his bloodline was being impacted by the genes he added to himself, he was taken out of his thoughts as a sharp voice broke the calmness around him. "Reached the measly Cosmic Realm and a single Ascendancy Halo? Let''s get going then, there should be no excuses from you now! We shall be setting off for a nice and entertaining Continuum Apocalypse Reality!" ¡­! The figure of Europa materialized before him with a mischievous smile as her dark eyes seemed to contain the entire abyss itself! Chapter 345 A Glorious Continuum Apocalypse Reality! I Chapter 345: A Glorious Continuum Apocalypse Reality! I Corrected Noah''s tier of Ascendancy Halo from Blue to White!O Noah''s dark hair swayed with the calm wind that Europa brought as the raging essence around him calmed down, his Ascendancy Halo undting with waves of authority as from it, one could also feel a sense of distinction! The reason for this was naturally the woman before Noah''s eyes. When he formed his Halo, the first thing that came was a vibrant burst of information in the form of a dean blue prompt box!
