Chapter 1122 - NOAH! I
"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."
…!
Ah!
As Noah said these words, his Primordial Ruination Clone in the Ruination Realm briefly stopped absorbing the Primordial Heart as he looked within himself at the Cosmic Treasure that was lying peacefully in his Origin.
Even though he loved to talk big, a portion of him still felt the words of the Antiquity had some truth in them. The Cosmic Treasure could be considered an undeserved cheat and a deserved one at the same time as he had obtained the first piece without doing anything, but had used his own power to collect the rest of the Tools of Ruination and complete it.
When he first awakened, his blank [Focus] was also a pie falling from the sky that others didn't have, but even the World Core itself mentioned that this was all random occurrence!
That he wasn't somehow chosen as if he were special.
But with the knowledge of beings sharing his name actually stemming from Primordials, was that truly the case?
We're things being steered by destiny and fate even without the knowledge of the World Core and Noah?
"Haaa…"
Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone sighed deeply within the Ruination Realm as he focused on the Primordial Heart within his hands again.
Even though they were stupendous treasures, when Noah thought about the larger picture of undeserved things and Primordials, the glow of these treasures dimmed just a little!
'Arrogance and confidence is good, I guess I could learn to be just a bit more humble with all that I've gained…'
This thought crossed his mind as he continued to calculate a myriad of things, going back to absorbing the Primordial Heart as billions of galaxies were already filling his second Universe!
The Antiquity heard the domineering words from Noah as his cerulean blue eyes trembled, his gaze that was reaching across Cosmos shaking as he saw the unbridled confidence and belief in the eyes of this being!
As he saw such conviction, he couldn't help but shake his head as he uttered out unconsciously.
"Madman…"
Yes!
Who else but a madman could say with belief that he could put Primordials that could cause the destruction of entire Dimensions with a blink of their eyes under their control?
Who could say they would put under their feet Primordial Beasts that devoured entire Universes and Comos?!
Or the tools of Primordials that held terrifying power and Systems that they reigned supreme in their Dimensions?
"..."
As this Antiquity thought about all this, his eyes couldn't help but inexplicably land on Noah again.
"I see…"
At this moment, he felt something click in his mind as he realized that after his meeting with the Primordials and the shocking strength they could display, he had inadvertently looked towards them as if they were some insurmountable wall.
He had unconsciously put a block in his mind as even though he was rising in strength rapidly, he always felt like he was behind and still so extremely weak!
'But...only a few months have passed. I've been rushing too much. With my capabilities and restructured system...I can be just as confident to do what this being believes he can do!'
WAA!
'But this being...he is too unique!'
The eyes of the Antiquity still focused on Noah as he could still see the unique light of dominance and confidence, a domineering light that seemed to draw everything towards it.
Seeing such a thing, his voice from his consciousness in the Abyssal Universe couldn't help but reach out.
"Just...just who are you?"
"..."
As his glowing eyes reigned in the glorious light of conquest and domination, Noah glanced forward calmly as he spoke out.
"Noah. Noah Osmont."
RUMBLE!
"Get the fuck out...what?" The Antiquity was in a stupor as his voice rang out, the surprise in it evident as he couldn't help but ask again!
"Are you serious?"
And the reply from Noah came as he looked in front of him as if he could actually see the expression of the Antiquity even though he was only a consciousness at this moment.
"Yes...you're not…"
Across Dimensions, the Antiquity shook his head in an exasperated manner as he spoke out with utter incredulity.
"Fucking ridiculous...I am Noah! Noah Eckert!"
…!
A lull of silence descended at this moment as neither side spoke!
"..."
The figure of Noah paused at this time, incredulous at the situation around him as he spoke out unconsciously.
"Before...you mentioned the words to be or not to be. You wouldn't have happened to hear that from an English playwright…"
WAA!
The consciousness of the Antiquity buzzed at Noah's words as his reply came before Noah even finished!
"...the poet from the UK that they focused too much on in school…"
…!
"..."
Silence pervaded in the surroundings again.
No side spoke at this moment.
The reality of branching parallel timelines and concepts that the Antiquity had just been talking about finally fully delved into Noah's mind at this moment as they became very real!
A whole minute passed as no side spoke, each one lost in their own thoughts!
"Haaa…"
Noah sighed again at this juncture as he looked up around him seconds later and had his voice stretch out calmly.
"Ok. Alright. It's something we can discuss later. Let's get to the root of our current reality first. Destiny seems to say that there lies some stupendous benefits for me when it comes to associating with you, and it's the only reason I even bothered to speak to you in the first place."
"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 it comes to this...we can cooperate in some form!"
WAA!
Noah's voice was firm as he thought of many things, not entirely turning down this being that he ridiculously shared the same first name with as a thin and shaky connection began to form at this moment!
Chapter 1123 - NOAH! II
The reply from Noah caused an eruption of fortune both from him and a certain Antiquity that was located far across Dimensions, both of these beings monitoring this situation closely as the consciousness of the Antiquity spoke out.
"We'll need a way to communicate. This consciousness will fade away entirely soon, and I won't be able to reach out into this Dimensions again unless there is a medium."
The voice seemed to be searching for something when it was speaking, changing entirely to a quizzical tone next.
"The medium in the past was Chronos...where is that guy?"
"Oh?" Noah raised his head towards the question of the Antiquity as he smiled lightly.
"That guy? I locked him in a time prison since I have some plans for him later. For him to be a medium across Dimensions, did it have something to do with his Dao of Reincarnation?"
…!
Noah hit the nail of the head as the Antiquity was surprised, shaking his head wryly with his real body as his consciousness in the Abyssal Universe looked pitifully as the Oathkeeeper and the 12 locked Hegemonies beside him.
"These guys and Chronos were really fighting against a guy with a cheat-like system and didn't know it...no wonder everything was such a mess."
The voice of the Antiquity was that of pity as when Noah picked it up, his brows perked up as he spoke out quizzically.
"Don't forget you were above them, it was your loss too."
…!
The Antiquity nearly choked from this as his rumbling voice shot back. "Well...just a small setback for me as I lost a Subjugated Antiquity. But yes, if you can somehow obtain The Dao of Reincarnation, just enter a half dead state and you should be able to see your timeline."
"My authority has spread into this Cosmos and timeline enough that I'll be able to sense you with my unique abilities when you do, and we can discuss more things then."
Gradually the voice of the Antiquity was filled with conviction, this being having figured something out during their conversation!
Noah nodded to his words as he saw his Destiny and Fortune settling down, where he had already sown certain seeds as he would wait for them to bloom and see exactly what would come out.
"Until then...I have some work to do."
His voice reached the Antiquity as their conversation came to an end, a possibility being planted at this moment as the consciousness of the being Noah shared a similar name to began to fade away.
"I'll be waiting to hear from you soon...Noah!"
THRUM!
With a transparent flash of light, Noah felt a pressure be lifted as the consciousness of the Antiquity was now gone!
Far across Dimensions, the scene that this Antiquity could see also faded away, his eyes only seeing the expanse of white coldness around him as his cerulean blue eyes flashed beautifully.
The existence made of ice beside him saw he was done as she spoke with a smile.
"How long will you be staying this time?"
The voice seemed to be tinged with happiness and sadness, causing the Great Usurper to let out a light smile at this as he patted her head and replied.
"I won't be going anywhere for a while. We'll take some time to reinforce our strength and plan. Maybe we won't be alone in this battle…."
With such words, the red haired woman made of particles of ice smiled brightly as she nodded.
"Un!"
In the Ruination Realm.
Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone had already finished absorbing the first Primordial Heart as he was halfway through the second one, and he came to a halt at this moment as he gazed within his Origin.
There, he could see 4 beautifully swirling Universes as one was a complete Splendiferous Universe, two being normal complete ones with 100 Billion Galaxies each, and the 4th one being a Universe that only had 10 Billion Galaxies within it!
The 25% remainder of the first Heart and 50% of the second one had actually been enough to grant Noah two complete normal Universes and begin on the fourth one! He could have continued at this moment as he forged another 2 or 3 Universes, but he actually came to a stop.
This was because he was thinking further ahead about a few things, his mind focused on the Primordial Cosmos and the task of the Quintillions of beings he had brought into the Dark Universe.
When it pertained to the Primordial Cosmos...he was thinking of his newly gained Vassal that was the strongest Hegemony within it...and also the being with a Cosmic Treasure!
He had been debating what to do with this being that had sworn Fealty to him...as well as his Cosmic Treasure. At this moment, he had made a decision as he entirely stopped the absorption of the Primordial Heart and put it into his [Expansive Space].
Thereafter, the figure of the Primordial Ruination Clone disappeared from the Ruination Realm as it instantly teleported into the Abyssal Universe!
The clone arrived right before the Oathkeeper as the figures of the Blue Slimes and the normal Clone in the surroundings faded away with a spatial light.
Noah stared at the old existence that had lived for millions of years as he spoke out with a light smile.
"As the being helping maintain order in the Primordial Cosmos and affecting a vast number of quintillions...how many Dao Galaxies do you currently have, Oathkeeper?"
His question was one that no expert would tell another, but the Oathkeeper actually gazed at Noah with placid golden eyes as he replied right after!
"Over 60 Billion Dao Galaxies."
RUMBLE!
His voice was steady as Noah's eyes flashed grandly when he heard it.
This being had not wasted his millions of years, especially so with the fact that he was one of the strongest beings in the Cosmos!
Even if he hadn't been able to do something like Noah and create a Lesser Dao that allowed him to literally control and closely influence all the existences within Universes, Oathkeeper had still acted out a major role all these years.
As he affirmed this, Noah gave a brilliant smile while he waved his hands and caused the appearance of a glimmering Primordial Heart!
"Based on recent events, we could have a terrifying Primordial Beast attack at any moment. The Primordial Cosmos needs powerful protectors...and I won't strip you away from that position!"
WAA!
Yes! Noah wouldn't snatch the Primordial Disk in the hands of the Oathkeeper, instead planning on making this being and another one that were the best candidates closest to reaching Antiquity even more powerful! The other was, of course, the Blue Slime that was at 95 Billion Dao Galaxies and was even closer to Antiquity than nobody else!
Others would follow as he and the Blue Slime would just be the first.
The forces Noah was planning to raise to prominence were too stupendous and numerous, with his eyes already planning for a glorious future of these forces beginning to stretch their fingers across the Ruination Sea.
"But first…"
There was still the Primordial Cosmos! There were still many things to be done!
Chapter 1124 - A Universe Aspiring To Become A Cosmos! I
A uniquely shining Primordial Heart floated above Noah's palm as the Oathkeeper's gaze inadvertently locked onto it.
He wasn't the only one as the Hegemonies of the Primordial Cosmos were watching these scenes from afar, none of these beings having even had the chance to help to contribute anything with how things had rapidly progressed!
Currently, the most astounding moment had come as the being that was a Paragon just moments ago had now become an Antiquity and had just appeared with the pulsating Heart he was given not too long ago, seemingly about to hand it to the Oathkeeper!
But at this moment, a miniaturized Blue Slime just a few inches in diameter appeared beside the valiant figure of the Oathkeeper, Noah giving a light smile at this guy as the Slime made sure to call dibs first on the remaining Primordial Heart before anyone else!
Noah nodded towards the true body of the Blue Slime as a blue tentacle shot from it, wrapping around the Primordial Heart as a resplendent glow erupted out from the process of absorption beginning.
The Blue Slime was already an Apocryphal Antiquity as he had begun to form a second Universe, but it seemed the true authority of an Antiquity was always given after one completed the first full Splendiferous Universe!
After the constant Devouring of the Universal Constructs with the authority of the...being that shared a similar name to Noah, the Slime now only had 5 Billion Galaxies to be changed into Dao Galaxies, the soft glow of the Primordial Heart flowing into him as this process ensued.
THRUM!
A cerulean glow flashed out as it drew the eyes of the Hegemonies from all around, the unique phenomenon of a being stepping into the ranks of Antiquity actually playing out right before their eyes as they couldn't not pay attention!
The Origin of the Blue Slime shone with an iridescent glow in the next few seconds as a few billion Dao Galaxies bloomed, the Origin vibrating in resonance soon after as a full 100 Billion Dao Galaxies now flowed within it.
WAA!
The aura of the Blue Slime gradually changed as it became even more oppressive, but it's cerulean eyes flashed with light as it didn't get drunk on the feeling of absorption of the Primordial Heart, the tentacles it released letting this treasure go as it floated towards Noah.
Noah himself watched the scene of the birth of another genuine Antiquity with a smile, simply nodding towards the Oathkeeper to absorb the Primordial Heart next as after some slight hesitation...this ancient being hardened his resolve and went forward!
The vast numbers of Hegemonies were looking at the incredulous scenes occurring within the Abyssal Universe in shock as they didn't even dare to approach at this moment!
The sequence of events just had too many shocking results as from an Antiquity descending because of Chronos and the Goliath along with many others Hegemonies seeking a method to achieve it themselves…all the way to this moment where these Hegemonies were missing or dead along with the Antiquity they called down.
Instead, the Apex Paragon that had shown shocking prowess was the one to inexplicably rise to Antiquity along with his Blue Slime, and now the aura of the Oathkeeper was changing as well as this being also went towards the same direction!
It was a truly ridiculous sight as the ones who were trying to prevent the descent of Antiquity were the ones to actually obtain Antiquity in the end, those searching for it like Chronos and The Goliath missing out…
The Great Old Nazzagath looked at this scene with eyes that flashed with intense light, recalling the words of the Apex Paragon that was now an Antiquity.
'Fealty...is that what Oathkeeper has now done? Just that and given the chance to advance to Antiquity?'
The thoughts of the Ancient Chthonian were his own as he and many others watched the scene before them in wonder!
They watched as the golden wings and aura around the Oathkeeper expanded rapidly after he began to absorb the Primordial Heart, his eyes shooting out majestically beams of light as he bellowed out like the primal ancient being that he was.
"OOOOOH!"
This bellow was followed by the continued rapid conversion of normal Galaxies into Dao Galaxies as every few seconds, billions would be added as this being put together the less than 40 billion that he needed for Antiquity.
The scene was one of utter wonder and awe as nobody could take their eyes off of it, even the Hegemonies counting the number of converged Galaxies as after a few minutes...they neared the complete 100 Billion just like the Blue Slime moments ago.
The surrounding space shook as a golden glow washed over the Oathkeeper, his entire body being covered seemingly with liquid gold when the 100th Billion Dao Galaxy was reached, rays of light stretching from him as if he was breaking out of a cocoon and becoming something else!
RUMBLE!
After the golden waves of power settled down, the figure of the Oathkeeper became visible again as the eyes of the Hegemonies trembled when they saw him.
He didn't have the usual pair of wings, this existence currently having three pairs of shimmering golden wings behind him as he had grown to be nearly 4 meters, his body fully suffused with a golden glow as he looked like a primal creature gracing lower world's with his presence!
Noah looked at such a scene and nodded as he sent multiple mental messages to the Oathkeeper, the figures of his Primordial Clone and the Blue Slime disappearing soon after.
All that was left behind...was the newly risen Antiquity and 12 white eggs that contained Hegemonies that worked with Chronos, the Oathkeeper glancing at these prisons made of Primordial Essence as he then glanced towards the Hegemonies that didn't dare approach before.
"Come. It is time for healing and restructuring!"
THRUM!
His commanding voice reached the Hegemonies as it raised them out of their stupor, Great Old Nazzagath and the others moving into the Abyssal Universe at this moment!
Chapter 1125 - A Universe Aspiring To Become A Cosmos! II
In the Dark Universe.
Noah's main body watched the appearance of his Primordial Ruination Clone along with the Blue Slime with calm eyes, a crimson object that was the Cosmic Treasure leaving the chest of his clone and landing onto his hands at this moment!
He held on tenderly to the Treasure as he spoke towards the bubbling figure of the Blue Slime that came and sat on his head.
"What do you want to do with the rest of the Hegemonies of the Primordial Cosmos? If you want to devour them for their actions towards your Race…"
"..."
The bubbly Blue Slime was actually silent when Noah asked, only speaking out moments later with a low tone.
"What has occurred in the past can't be changed. I know the being responsible and have devoured nearly all of those that worked with him...and I'll also devour Chronos myself whenever you finish with him!"
WAA!
"Besides, even though I lost all of my race...I was able to find you and everyone else...so it's ok."
…!
The Blue Slime said the last words as they could barely be heard by those around him, seemingly embarrassed as the bubbly body remained still and closed its eyes above Noah's head!
"You…"
Noah smiled towards the slime atop him as he shook his head, his heart feeling a sense of warmth he wouldn't have thought would come from an existence like this.
Seeing how the slime would budge no matter how much he poked, Noah left the embarrassed being alone and focused on what was on his hands.
He looked at the Cosmic Treasure with a sharp smile as his current essence of a being in the Universal Filament Realm flowed into it, the Cosmic Treasure buzzing with happiness as in a short period of time... its Master had broken through two Realms!
From Galactic Filament to Universal Realm, and now into the Universal Filament Realm as when Noah entered this level...the Cosmic Treasure could be utilized even more as its features were expanded and enhanced to another level.
First off was the stupendous clone before Noah, it's strength being something he could hardly believe as it's boosts just continued to become more and more immense!
[Primordial Ruination Clone] :: Out of the innumerable number of creatures in the vast Cosmos, there are a few whose bodies uniquely rise above all others. The Primordial Ruination Clone is a? feature that only the Master of RUINATION can utilize, allowing them to forge a Primordial Ruination Clone from the very essence of Ruination. As a creature made from the very essence of a Cosmic Dao, it has a +300,000% Increase in the speed of progression through the Realms of Power, +300,000% Increase in the Comprehension and Assimilation of all Daos, can display 500% of the strength of the Master of Ruination, along with its power increased by 3000% when in the Ruination Sea. It can seamlessly utilize the abilities of [Miniature Ruination Rupture Generation], [Instantaneous
Universal Teleportation], [Ruination Essence Skill Conversion and Amplification], [Sword of Ruination], [Cosmic Chains of Ruination],? and [Universal Budding], [ $% #$%]...
It's percentage boosts were further enhanced as along with this, Noah's advancement into the Universal Filament Realm opened up another feature.
It was the feature that was termed [Universal Budding]!
[Universal Budding] :: With the sacrifice of a Universe from the Origin of the Master of Ruination, a genuine Universe under the control of the Master of Ruination will be born.
"..."
A fantastical ability.
The capability to sacrifice one's own Universe for a genuine one, something that could only be made possible when Noah himself stepped into the Universal Filament Realm as it was only here when he could afford to sacrifice Universes!
What a fantastical treasure RUINATION was!
Noah had many thoughts when he first saw this ability, with an array of possibilities on how to utilize it. Many of these possibilities actually related more to his Universal Core!
There were a myriad of Treasures around Noah, as well as what one would consider his most prized possession, or what could be considered most unique.
When it came to this...it actually wasn't the Cosmic Treasure RUINATION. It was definitely unique and overpowered by its own right, but there was another Cosmic Treasure at its level within this same Primordial Cosmos.
But one thing that Noah hadn't found any others have and the thing that continued to uniquely advance without stopping...was the Universal Core of his Dark Universe!
The unique treasure that was once a floating Spiritual Land and had gone on to become a Spiritual World and Galaxy, with Noah even granting it the term [Infinite] next to it due it's ceaseless possibilities of expansion.
Currently, this Unique Treasure was a Universe as after all this time...Noah wanted to be able to see it advance into a Filament of Universes as it went towards becoming a Cosmos!
This was because one may not consciously think about it...but this unique treasure was also one of Noah's strongest weapons.
It still had the myriad of features of [Size Dilation], [Offensive Maneuvers], [World Integration], [Froze Barrier],[Assimilation]...and many more!
Due to extra caution and not really needing to, Noah had not been using the unique treasure as a weapon recently as if ever he did...the reality to play out would be a shocking one as even he didn't know what would happen.
If he condensed the entire Dark Universe into an object that could fit into his hands with Size Regulation and then used Offensive Maneuvers to throw an entire Universe onto an enemy as a weapon, just what would happen?!
Furthermore, when he upgraded it to a Universal Filament or even a Cosmos….just who would be able to withstand having an entire Cosmos thrown at them?
Could a being handle such a ridiculous concept?!
There were so many things and possibilities associated with this treasure that Noah couldn't wait to see how everything would play out, and he was making the moves to ensure he could see this future at this very moment.
One of the ways to upgrade the Universal Core was to introduce 100 Quintillion existences into it. The number had currently spilled over 60 Quintillion as Noah could go around the Primordial Cosmos to obtain the remaining amount whenever he wished, but there was also another way to go about this!
The first method was the [Universal Budding] that had just appeared from the Cosmic Treasure...and then there was the method that utilized the Primordial Cosmos!
Chapter 1126 - A Universe Aspires To Become A Cosmos! III
Multiple methods existed before Noah as he could choose any of them to achieve the goal of taking the Dark Universe and have it begin forming Universal Filaments!
The [Universal Budding] method would require him to sacrifice one of the newly made Universes within his Origin as he could do this...but why do such a thing when there was a perfectly situated Primordial Cosmos before him?
A Cosmos filled with Universes that were just affected by the Universal Amalgamation and were currently empty...a Cosmos that had a myriad of other Universes filled with countless Quintillions of creatures!
At this moment, Noah had turned his eyes towards this Cosmos as he had already begun the preparations.
For this, he of course talked to Oathkeeper that held the Primordial Disk and knew much more about the Primordial Cosmos than anyone else, with Noah letting this being wrap up the imprisoning of the Goliath and others before he would follow him to speak to a certain consciousness!
"A Cosmos…."
Noah couldn't help but utter out such words as he looked around him, at his subordinates below that were gazing up at him and even further from them, the countless existences that he had brought from the Primordial Cosmos into this Universe.
Then there were the natives of this Dark Universe whose lives continued to be inexplicably changed everyday...the quality and way of living in the Dark Universe being something that others could only imagine!
In a small, nondescript corner of the Dark Universe.
A small world rotated slowly around a star system with a sun at its very center, creating a serene scene of the starry space.
But at this moment, one would be surprised to see the figure of a mischievous young boy that didn't seem older than 8...actually fly out of the small world and into the starry space!
Yes! A young boy that was barely 10 as he was still wiping his snot from his nose, his eyes shining brilliantly as he left the layers of his world and entered space while gazing up towards a far away sun.
Around his body, a unique source of power circulated around him as it caused this child to ignore the rules of space, being able to survive in such an environment indefinitely as his mischievous eyes made up his mind, his small body beginning to shoot towards the sun.
But before this child could get too far…
"Richard! How many times did I tell you to stay on the ground!"
RUMBLE!
Behind him, a furious bellow reverberated out as a figure shot towards the child as a streak of light, coming up behind him and grabbing his hand as it caused the mischievous child to be utterly frightened!
"Mom…"
The young boy was looking with fearful eyes towards the other hand of his mom that was holding a sandal that was ready to smash onto him at any moment.
His mom looked at him with eyes of anger as she spoke out while pulling him back to their World.
"What were you doing now?"
The gaze of the mischievous child was downcast as if they were caught doing something they shouldn't have, his voice coming out slowly.
"I just...wanted to grab some more sunlight and bring it close to our garden. I thought the plants would be happier…"
…!
"You stupid little…!"
With a flash of light, the figure of mother and child returned back to their world as routinely, one could see other figures leave the small world and fly about across the stars...this shocking reality only made possible by a single being!
All of these existences so freely flying about in space whether they were children or adults could only do so due to the fact that they held 5% of Noah's current level of power!
This was one of the best ways to describe just how ridiculous this was, as at this level...this power had far surpassed the Void Rank that one needed to freely cross the void of space.
It made possible for shocking realities that only the inhabitants of the Dark Universe could experience!
The inhabitants of the Dark Universe obtained such stupendous power from Noah, his 5% making it easy for so many things that we could hardly cover the many variable consequences it held.
Noah understood this well as he used his role as the Emperor of his Vassals to instill in their souls that the stupendous power they obtained from him would not be used to harm one another maliciously in any way!
Under such commands...the Vassals could only follow.
There wouldn't be scenes of children or problematic beings destroying cities or worlds, or anything of the sort as deep within their souls, any of such actions were prohibited before they were even carried out.
But these beings could use this power to spar with each other and delve into the wondrous Dungeons that were constantly still being produced across the Dark Universe, obtaining Cores and skill books to further elevate their ranks as a unique reality was formed in the Dark Universe.
It was a reality that one had to live and experience in order to fully understand it, and the newly brought in inhabitants of the Animus Universe, Automaton, Chthonian, Necrotic, and Euthenia Universes among a few were getting the chance to experience it first hand!
It was an inclusion of a myriad of Races, the 9 Supreme Bloodlines of the Animus Universe occupying a region of space by themselves due to their pride, but when they saw the power of every single being within this Universe and the game like System they could now also utilize...even these prideful beings began to come down and associate with the myriad of other Races within this Universe.
This could only be done in the period of the past day as all Races settled in and got to learn more about their new environment, where the future would fantastically have the friendly interactions of Robotic beings from the past Automaton Universe and the Abyssal Undead from the past Necrotic Universe!
This was just a single example as it would soon become common place to see the World Trees of the Euthenia Universe and the terrifying planetary sized Chthonians get to know each other, Noah inadvertently making an environment that even he himself didn't know just what a shocking result it would display!
But aside from the inhabitants living with this Universe...there was the Universe itself.
It also had goals and aspirations as at this moment…this Universe aspired to become a Cosmos!
Chapter 1127 - A Universe Aspires To Become A Cosmos! IV
A Universe aspiring to become a Cosmos!
This was actually a reality playing out as after the fusion with Noah's unique treasure, the Universe was much more autonomous as many things were done even without Noah's input.
The use of the feature of [Architecture] to design new structures,? worlds, and Galaxies that would uniquely suit the races from the Automaton, Animus...and all the other Universes.
Where to establish Universal Law Spaces and Dao Spaces that were filled with unique and bountiful concentrations of the essence of some Daos.
Even the features of [Frozen Barrier] for defense and [Offensive Maneuvers] for offense...the Universe could autonomously do it while borrowing from Noah's unlimited mana reserves!
After all this time, this Universe aspired to achieve even greater stages as it let its thoughts be known to Noah.
Noah already had many things in play, putting away the wondrous Cosmic Treasure he was playing with as it sank into the chest of his main body, the Primordial Ruination Clone flashing away with a spatial light as only he and the Blue Slime were left behind in the skies.
"Come on."
He had a light smile on his face as he glanced below him, his figure beginning to descend towards the figures of Valentina, Barbatos, Emperor Penguin, and many others.
"Ready?"
Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone reappeared in the Abyssal Universe, glancing at the many Hegemonies that were hauling away the imprisoned existences that followed Chronos and the Goliath.
The Oathkeeper nodded with a somber expression as his six wings vibrated powerfully, the Primordial Disk appearing within his hands as it pulsed with a pristine white essence.
BZZZT!
This essence built up at a rapid rate within his hands as after a few seconds, it released a ray of white light that shattered the very void near them, a white crack in space forming as it led to a special location!
Noah looked at this scene with shining eyes as the Oathkeeeper kept his somber expression, looking towards Noah with a myriad of thoughts as this being had only asked him of a single thing.
Noah had told the Oathkeeper that he wouldn't ask too much of him in the future...with the main thing he wanted now being his help in locating the consciousness of...the Primordial Cosmos!
The place where the most Primordial Essence was congregated, and the location that only the existence with the Primordial Disk and Comprehension in the Primordial Dao could get to.
This was where the crack in space led to.
Noah had an impassive expression as he stepped into it, the figure of the Oathkeeper following closely behind as the moment they entered, the crack disappeared as only a few Hegemonies were left in the surroundings.
The moment that Noah stepped through this crack though, he felt an extremely suffocating and oppressive force descending onto him from all sides, the area he arrived in being filled with sea of the Primordial Essence!
If the cool down of his [Cosmic Dao Essence Integration and Emergence] had already finished, this would be the most wondrous place for him to quickly integrate the Primordial Dao just with the sheer amount of it in the surroundings.
The Oathkeeper was looking at Noah carefully at this moment as he knew he could survive due to understanding the Primordial Dao, but what about Noah?
His questions didn't last long as in a moment, a red glow surrounded Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone as in the seas of whiteness, a beautiful crimson light appeared as the being releasing this light...spoke slowly.
"I came to seek an audience with the consciousness of this Cosmos."
RUMBLE!
His voice was neither servile nor overbearing, Noah keeping an impassive expression as the Oathkeeper shook his head off to the side!
He had come here many times in the past, even more recently just within the last days to seek guidance on what he should do against the schemes of Chronos and the approaching Antiquity.
He had received no answers as this was one of the reasons he wasn't averse to bringing Noah here when he asked!
If even the Holder of the Primordial Disk who comprehended the very essence that supported the Cosmos couldn't get an answer, why would another being that seemed to have the Cosmic Dao directly opposed to it get an answer?
But…
You came.
WAA!
…!
The eyes of the Oathkeeper nearly popped out with incredulity as a monotone but ancient voice reverberated around them!
This…
He had gotten an answer the first time he came?!
Turbulent emotions flew around the Oathkeeper's heart at such a scene, this ancient being keeping his face expressionless even though he was aggrieved inside.
Noah looked around the vast white Primordial Sea he was in as he spoke out slowly.
"You speak as if you were expecting me?"
The question was one that made Noah curious, especially after talking to another being with his name that spoke a great deal about puppets and existences moving on the palms of others!
The existence that ultimately saved the Dark Universe from complete destruction. I could not sustain it any longer from such a distance, and I sensed and felt it when you changed the nature of the Universe into something else before the Ruination Sea ripped it apart.
…!
Oathkeeper looked towards Noah in shock at such words, many things finally clicking into place within his mind as the voice continued to resound out.
Your visit here has to do with the Dark Universe.
The Ancient monotone voice reverberated out as it stated Noah's possible purpose without question!
Noah scratched his head as he smiled lightly while voicing out.
"Yes, this has everything to do with the Dark Universe. The Universe wants to rejoin with its Cosmos as the times are rapidly changing, with terrifying threats never faced before on the horizon as Primordial Beasts intent on erasing entire realities could arrive at any moment!"
THRUM!
"The process of rejoining the Cosmos though...will be something that requires the Dark Universe to assimilate the myriad of Universes within this Primordial Cosmos. For the purpose-"
There is no need for explanation or games.
…!
Before Noah could even finish his words, he was actually interrupted by the Ancient monotone voice as it continued emotionlessly!
The broken off Dark Universe still stemmed from me, with most of its memories being accessible. I know of the unique treasure and methods in your hands, so there is no need for games. It will be a great Undertaking that will take some time...so let's get started right away.
RUMBLE!
Noah felt his heart shaking as a moment later, a deep smile appeared on his face! He...truly liked how some of these consciousnesses went about doing things!
Chapter 1128 - The Glorious Light Of Assimilation! I
In a unique space filled with vast amounts of Primordial Essence.
The Oathkeeper was looking between Noah and the vast space around him as after holding himself back for so long, he spoke out.
"I'm sorry...the Assimilation of this Cosmos with a single Universe?"
His voice let his incredulity be known as Noah allowed the surprise from the words of the ancient voice to fade as he nodded toward the Oathkeeper.
"If the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos already understands everything...then I will just get things started."
WAP!
Without so much an another explanation, Noah's eyes gazed towards a faraway direction from the space he was it, his gaze seemingly capable of peering through the layers of space and gazing out from the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos all the way into the vast Ruination Sea roiling outside of it.
Within this Ruination Sea...there was a single Universe countless light-years wide that was floating peacefully.
At this moment...this Universe began to actually move, and it was moving at a high speed at that as it seemed like a rapidly mobile object more than a grand stellar structure!
It was making its way towards the Primordial Cosmos as since it was already close, the process would take a short period of time before the outer boundary of the Universe would come near the Cosmos.
Around this same time, Noah's main body in the Dark Universe flew away from his subordinates as he went towards the core area of the Universal Core.
"Wait, what exactly are you doing now?"
Valentina couldn't help but ask as Noah just flew up while saying he had to do something real quick, Noah only turning around to give a light smile as his reply came nonchalantly.
"I'm just beginning the process of assimilating the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos into my Dark Universe. When all of it is done...a new Cosmos should be born."
RUMBLE!
In a nonchalant manner, Noah said this as his figure disappeared a second later!
Valentina looked towards the area he disappeared from in a stupor as this Hegemony had to repeat his words over and over again just to try and comprehend what he meant.
"Did he just say...assimilate the Primordial Cosmos?"
She spoke out in disbelief and near her, the vivacious figure of Barbatos glanced towards Valentina while shaking her head, her sonorous voice ringing out.
"Just sit back and enjoy the show. I told you before...don't try to understand what this guy is doing or how he does it, you'll sleep much better at night!"
…!
The figures of Adelaide, Kazuhiko, Steel Mikhail, Emperor Penguin...a myriad of beings familiar with Noah nodded their heads at Barbatos's words in agreement as Valentina looked back and forth from them as if they were crazy.
This guy just said he was going to assimilate a Cosmos? Why was everyone taking it with such easy strides?! Such a thing shouldn't even be possible!
But no matter the possibility of it or not...even as some of his own people were left flabbergasted, Noah proceeded forward as the figure of his main body with the Cosmic Treasure RUINATION appeared at the deepest parts of the Universal Core.
Here, dense amounts of Ruination Essence freely pulsed and undulated as this was the essence that kept this Universe together, being directly replenished by the Ruination Sea outside as it was a nigh endless source of energy!
Within this innermost area of the Universal Core, Noah sat down in a meditative position as his Cosmic Treasure began to pulse wondrously, resonating with the Universal Core as everything began to vibrate.
This was because at this moment, Noah was initializing the feature of [Assimilation] as the Dark Universe neared the boundary of the Primordial Cosmos!
He was accounting for many things to their utmost as with the Dark Universe already near the Cosmos, it reached its boundaries within seconds as the Universe closest to it...was the Microbial Universe.
If one could accurately portray what was occurring in the Ruination Sea, it would be akin to a single pulsating circular mass coming close to a coagulation of circular masses closely interconnected together and wrapped up by a single powerful circular barrier!
A single circle...approaching and about to come in contact with a myriad of circles enclosed in a single larger one that represented the boundaries of multiple Universes and the boundary that surrounded them that made up a Cosmos!
A hidden light of gold and blue mixed in with red began to shine out from the core of this single pulsating circular mass as Noah and the Universal Core were the origin of it, this being the light of the feature of Assimilation that could fuse things of similar nature to the Dark Universe.
To observe everything carefully and make sure that nothing was out of place, Noah had his main body with the Cosmic Treasure overseeing things from the end of the Dark Universe, and the Primordial Ruination Clone in the depths of the Primordial Cosmos that could only be entered with another Cosmic Treasure.
After all of this was in place...Noah's eyes in the depths of the Universal Core breathed out calmly as he spoke out.
"Let it begin then."
RUUMBLE!
The boundary of the Dark Universe came in contact with the thin transparent boundary of the Primordial Cosmos.
This boundary...did not repulse or stop the advancement of the Dark Universe as it actually allowed it to go through- and this was only because Noah had talked to the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos as it allowed for this!
This meant that the boundary of the Dark Universe came in contact with and smashed into the boundary of the Microbial Universe as at their point of impact...a glorious light suffused between them.
It was the light that held the colors of gold, blue, and red as it shone in a fantastical manner, this light having wrapped around the entirety of the Dark Universe as at this moment...it was spread to cover the boundary of the Microbial Universe as well!
It was the glorious light of Assimilation that meant the fusion of a myriad of Universes was now starting!
THRUM!
Chapter 1129 - The Glorious Light Of Assimilation! II
Noah observed all of this closely with all of his bodies as there was a terrifying thought in his mind as he was looking at the grand process about to begin.
As he looked at the Dark Universe begin to assimilate a portion of the Primordial Cosmos, Noah thought of the future.
He thought of this Primordial Cosmos before him, and the myriad of Cosmos within this branch of reality that lay out there in the Ruination Sea.
He was about to assimilate and bind the Primordial Cosmos to him as his thoughts actually also veered towards the other Cosmos within the vast Ruination Sea. He...actually began to have the grand designs of even possibly binding these Cosmos to him!
If he could assimilate the Cosmos across the vast Ruination Sea, every single one of them at that...would it be possible for him to bind this whole branching reality? This whole Dimension?!
RUMBLE!
The thought even caused his own heart to tremble at the sheer grandness of it, and it also expressed immense possible danger as if he did such a thing, it would mean he would be encroaching on the dominion of the Primordials as they were the ones that benefitted from spreading their influence across branching realities.
He would be making himself an enemy of existence that had live for who knew how many years and had so much power to even allow what was currently happening possible!
But the prospects of it...Noah couldn't help but think of this over and over again.
Not just the myriad of Cosmos within this branching reality, but what of the innumerable number of realities out there? What of the Original reality that all of this stemmed from?!
'Bind this Primordial Cosmos, then the myriad of other Cosmos, then this branching reality, and then...the myriad of infinite realities out there…!'
THUMP!
His heart and origin released a terrifying beat as such a thought crossed his mind, Noah shaking himself out of his stupor as he breathed out slowly.
'Slow down. Slow down.'
Every breath caused his beating heart to settle, his eyes becoming sharp as he tucked away shocking thoughts into the back of his mind and focused on the task ahead of him.
His main body had the Cosmic Treasure spinning beautifully as the Universal Core was the one putting in all the work, Noah acting as a conduit as he provided any additionally needed mana to facilitate the process that had ensued in full!
After the light of Assimilation touched the Microbial Universe, its boundary began to fade away at a rapid pace as the gold, blue, and crimson light went on to serenely cover it and cause the layers of this Universe to merge with the Dark Universe.
The first step was always the hardest, but when it succeeded…
RUUMBLE!
Everything else would fall into place.
The Universal Core vibrated as it began to expand rapidly, its deepest corners that held dense amounts of Ruination Essence at this moment actually brightening up as within it...Primordial Essence began to flow out!
When Noah changed the nature of the Dark Universe, there was barely any Primordial Essence left as it was easy to change its source to Ruination Essence.
But the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos he wanted to absorb had dense amounts of Primordial Essence supporting and surrounding them as in the process of Assimilation...the Universal Core would be bathed with Primordial Essence!
A mixture of Ruination and Primordial Essence.
A mixture of something unknown as it wasn't a process carried out before, even causing Noah to observe it closely as his Primordial Ruination Clone wanted to understand the true nature of the Primordial Essence that sustained the Primordial Cosmos and all of the Universes within it for all these years, this clone staring this question to the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos as they observed the nigh complete successful assimilation of the first Universe.
"The Primordial Essence that sustains these Cosmos and its Universes...just where is it all coming from?"
…!
A stupendous question that deserved an answer!
There was the vast and endless Ruination Sea that surrounded all the Cosmos, so one would wonder exactly how Cosmos could protect themselves indefinitely and sustain a myriad of Universes.
All Cosmos have a unique access into the endless Primordial Sea hidden somewhere within our Reality. It is this sea that can cause the induction of new Cosmos...and it this that makes it possible for Cosmos to freely float within the Ruination Sea.
The ancient consciousness replied in a monotone fashion as magisterial bundles of information were released.
Noah took in all of this information and added it to what he already knew as he still needed to know more!
"The changed nature of a Universe to be sustained by Ruination Essence hasn't appeared before, much less for this Universe to begin assimilating other Universes that are sustained by Primordial Essence. I'm currently observing the changes right now but, it seems like the two essences are...harmoniously swimming around each other!"
RUMBLE!
...
His words talked of an impossible thing as even the ancient consciousness took a second before its words came out.
There is no deviation to the process of Assimilation as of right now, the Microbial Universe should be fully fused.
…
Yes! At this moment, the barrier separating the Microbial Universe from the Dark Universe entirely faded as it was akin to a big circle swallowing a smaller one, all of the contents within the smaller circle falling into the bigger one as the Dark Universe now contained the billions of Galaxies that were with the Microbial Universe!
Its core reflected this change as it was pulsating and shaking madly, expanding at a rapid pace as the more pressing thing was something that both Noah and the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos was paying attention to.
It was the flood of Primordial Essence that had begun to permeate throughout the Universal Core that was now supporting not a single Universe, and it could instead be considered a Universal Cluster!
Amidst the dense reserves of Ruination Essence that was supporting the past Dark Universe, pristine white Primordial Essence began to permeate throughout as it caused both Noah and the consciousness of the Primal Cosmos to pay attention to this!
Chapter 1130 - A Cosmos Bound To Me! I
Elements that were of opposition nature were now swimming together peacefully in the Universal Core.
It reminded Noah of the powerful Primordial that had descended down not too long ago, this being commanding Primordial and Ruination essence with ease as one would wonder if they had entirely comprehended or assimilated these two Cosmic Daos!
Noah was observing such a scene occurring with the Universal Core right now as after the successful assimilation with the Microbial Universe, its inner depth had the vast reserves of Primordial Essence that this Universe used to have.
This Microbial Universe was actually very crucial as it now held a connection between both Noah's Universal Core and the Primordial Cosmos, making the next few steps extremely easy as it was like a chain reaction!
It was akin to dominoes falling as after the light of Assimilation covered the Microbial Universe and fused its boundaries with the Dark Universe completely, this light traveled at an even faster pace as it bathed the Necrotic and Euthenia Universes next.
THRUM!
Noah felt his Origin pulse with gorgeous light as more and more mana was drained from him to support the terrifying levels of expenditure currently taking place.
It's not a fusion of the two essences...but they are respecting and flowing amidst each other.
The voice of the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos came out curiously as Noah also nodded, this being their verdict when they looked at the very center of the Universal Core where the two different types of essences were flowing together beautifully!
"Their activity is actually enhanced every time they cross paths...it is a positive feedback effect!"
But as the Master of the Universal Core, Noah was able to notice the minute differences within it as when he observed Ruination and Primordial Essence together, he saw that the two complimented each other as their opposing nature's allowed the power of each of them to be enhanced as they fought for dominance.
All in all...it just meant that the currently changing Universal Core was becoming much stronger and vibrant as the Assimilation of the Universes continued!
After the light of Assimilation covered the Necrotic and Euthenia Universes, the boundaries of these Universes fell apart soon after as their contents became connected to the Dark Universe. The Light of Assimilation was relentless as it continued further on into the Animus and then Automaton Universe, the process actually becoming faster and faster!
It felt like a well-oiled machine working at a rapid pace as its processing only became more vibrant, with Noah being the one to feel the most changes intimately as he could count every Universe that was being assimilated.
These actions...also had their consequences as what was currently happening was under Noah's instructions, with his authority actually being placed over multiple Universes every time that one was fully assimilated!
The ones that he already emptied out might not grant him a whole lot, but there were multiple other Universes within the Primordial Cosmos that Noah hadn't even been to that were filled with countless quintillions of creatures.
The number of Marks of Antiquity he would receive when he assimilated the Universes of all of these beings and then the entire Primordial Cosmos, not to mention when he utilized his Dao of Fealty to have them even more closely interconnected with him...the rewards were bound to be bountiful as Noah would able to birth who knew how many more Splendiferous Universes!
As Noah carried out shocking actions in a corner of the Ruination Sea, many things were occurring elsewhere.
In a unique expanse of space that held vast clusters of swirling storms of Ruination and Primordial Essence.
The veiled figure of a certain existence that Noah and the others had seen not too long ago could actually be seen floating peacefully across such a dangerous region!
Her right hand was outstretched as one could actually see a fair palm coming out, this palm currently having an illusory figure of none other than Noah spinning on top of it!
"I felt the shockwaves of your destiny ripple across the Ruination Sea as you actually obtained my attention…"
WAA!
Her voice was extremely apathetic and as unemotional as it could be.
She was speaking to no particular being as this shocking Primordial moved across storms of Ruination and Primordial Essence, her voice continuing to ring out.
"...the question is whether you can actually keep it, little thing."
…!
She spoke as Noah's illusory figure continued to spin on top of her palm, her veiled figure gazing towards a certain direction as if she could peel the layers of space.
"I thought this branching reality already had a nearly completed champion that could defend it against any Primordial Beasts that arose...but this is certainly interesting."
Interesting! This was the only reason why this being had given Noah the Primordial Heart- because she thought he was an interesting variable to appear within this branching reality!
Within this branching reality, he wasn't even a champion as such a being had already been rising in a distant Cosmos, Noah's existence piquing the interest of the Primordial in this manner.
"The little Aegon of this reality is almost capable of completely withstanding against a Grand Primordial Beast...I should pay him another visit soon. As soon as he is completed, I can leave behind this reality and delve into the next one!"
RUMBLE!
Her soliloquy contained shocking amounts of information, this Primordial waving her other hand as within it, the image of a valiant man with sharp eyes could be seen, this being the existence she referred to when she spoke about Aegon.
"The Primordial and Ruination Seas hold countless secrets and unfathomable possibilities...so let us see what your limits will be, little thing."
…!
With these words, she seemed to have arrived at her destination as she waved her palm and caused both illusory figures to disappear, her gaze on a pulsing Rift that trembled with unstable Primordial and Ruination essence up ahead.
Without so much as a pause, her figure delved into it as she instantly disappeared!
So the tides of destiny continued to churn.
The vast and endless Sea of Ruination ebbed and flowed relentlessly as they held within them endless possibilities!
Chapter 1131 - A Cosmos Bound To Me! II
At the depths of the Universal Core, Noah had no knowledge of the movements of other beings as he was fully focused on the task at hand!
Currently, his main body was pulsing with immense light as he released droves of mana outwards, and there were clusters of millions of Marks of Antiquity that had begun to form around him as they descended endlessly.
The rewards of the Assimilation of Universes had already begun as the process was currently occurring at a rapid speed, a Universe becoming covered by the light of Assimilation every few seconds as they were dissociating their boundaries and becoming linked with the Dark Universe quickly!
The 9 Universes that were affected by the Universal Amalgamation were the first as after that, the light of Assimilation began to cover Universes that even Noah hadn't had the chances to fully explore yet.
The Cerulean Universe where an old enemy came from.
The Light Universe, The Stone Universe...the dozens of Universes that could fill up the requirements and allow a cluster of Universes coming together to be called a Cosmos were all gradually becoming covered by the light of Assimilation as their nature was being changed, coming in contact with Ruination Essence as their centers were shifted to all join the Universal Core of the Dark Universe!
The effects of such actions were stupendous as the Hegemonies within all of these Universes looked at what was occurring in shock, but they didn't have to wonder of what was going on for too long as from their Wings of Primordial Destiny, the somber voice of the Oathkeeper came out.
"The Primordial Cosmos is undergoing a change currently. Do not try to interfere!"
…!
A statement that seemed very overbearing, but the Hegemonies had seen Oathkeeper's rise to Antiquity in the Abyssal Universe as they could only nod to his words.
In a short period of time, all of the Universes of the Primordial Cosmos were covered with the light of Assimilation as their boundaries fused with the Dark Universe, only a thin line remaining between each of the Universes to distinguish them as at this moment...the entire Primordial Cosmos was nearly connected to the Dark Universe.
There were 52 Universes within the Primordial Cosmos, this number actually being a fairly small one when one looked at a Cosmos!
Now, all of them were bound to the Dark Universe as one key factor remained.
That last remaining factor...was the very core of the Primordial Cosmos that supplied Primordial Essence to all Universes.
It seems like it is time.
An ancient voice reverberated out in the roiling Primordial Sea that Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone and Oathkeeper were in.
Noah nodded his head with shining eyes as even though the core of the Primordial Cosmos was hidden within layers of space in unreachable depths...he could sense its location at this moment as he made a move to allow another consciousness to go towards it!
RUMBLE
From the pristine white Primordial Essence around them, a point of red began to bloom and permeate outwards.
This blooming red Ruination Essense brought with it a terrifying consciousness, and it was the consciousness of the Universal Construct under Noah's control!
The Universe that aspired to be a Cosmos was right now standing at the cusp of it as it just had to complete the final process and merge with the core of the Primordial Cosmos...completing its goals in an efficient and stupendous manner!
For survival.
The ancient consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos spoke out as it stated the main reason behind its actions and acceptance of what was currently occurring.
But the consciousness of the Universal Filament Core that was about to become a Cosmic Core said something entirely different.
For power.
WAA!
For power! The consciousness reflected its Master's thoughts as its intent was made clear, the Ruination Sea blooming out vigorously to fill the space they were in as a grand light began to shine out!
It was the light of two consciousnesses merging, a light of Ruination and Primordial Essence coming together!
Even though they were entirely opposed, they swirled around each other in an interconnected manner as the result of it left Noah and the Oathkeeper with a sight they wouldn't be able to forget for the rest of their lives.
As all of this occurred, Noah's main body was almost overwhelmed by the vast amounts of Marks of Antiquity rushing onto him, the number having long since passed billions every second as the effect of coming under the control of 52 new Universes and being on the cusp of being under the control of a Cosmos were too stupendous!
The number of Marks of Antiquity had actually toppled 148 Billion at this moment as they were enough to birth another Splendiferous Universe, but they continued to come relentlessly.
Mind you...Noah hadn't yet used his Dao of Fealty on the other Universes he had yet to visit!
His vast seas of fortune and destiny were churning crazily as the actions he had done were truly too significant, carrying a level of importance that even Noah did not fully comprehend.
Never before had a Cosmos come under the control of a being.
Never before had a Cosmos been turned into a movable unique treasure that could do a great deal of things!
Never before could a single existence like Noah close his eyes as at this moment...he could feel the over 50 Universes releasing powerful glows as they were all connected together towards a single core.
They held thin barriers to distinguish them as it was still a myriad of circles clustered together to form a Cosmos, but a shining light was bathing all of these Universes as they were prepared to become capable of carrying out the features of Noah's unique treasure!
Noah was nearly overwhelmed with the boundless information coming in, but this was when he heard the voice he was used to hearing for many times in the past months reverberate in his mind.
The merging with the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos was a success
A voice akin to Noah's Universal Core...but different.
The Universal Core has been upgraded to a Cosmic Core as many features have been enhanced and unlocked
A glorious new reality was born!
Not a Universe or Universal Filament….but a Cosmos!
THUMP!
Noah felt his heart beat as he couldn't help but magisterially call out, his eyes releasing glorious rays of golden light.
"My Cosmos…"
Chapter 1132 - My Infinite Cosmos! I
An array of golden Marks of Antiquity continued to rain down as they had long since surpassed 400 Billion, such a number seeming wild just a few days ago as Noah was struggling to accumulate even tens of billions for his Dao Galaxies.
Yet they now freely flowed unto him as the actions of turning an entire Primordial Cosmos into a treasure were that shocking, his actions inexplicably changing the lives of all existences living within it even though they had yet to pledge Fealty!
He didn't know if the Marks of Antiquity would be reduced or stay at the same levels when he carried out mass calls for Fealty, but this was something that actually had to be pushed in the far reaches of his mind that was currently being overwhelmed with information.
Glorious information of the results of his actions as at this moment, Noah's connection to the Cosmic Core allowed him to feel the smooth assimilation of all the 53 Universes within it as they melded together like pieces of a puzzle!
The feeling one would have when their consciousness could "feel" the vastness of multiple Universes- and entire Cosmos at that, such a feeling was hard to describe as even Noah couldn't put the words for it at this moment.
What he could put words on though...were the constant and increasing bundles of information that he was receiving from the Cosmic Core.
The only word to describe them was...magisterial!
All previous features are enhanced as the features of Universal Empowerment, and Universal Singularity are unlocked.
These words were preceded by bundles of information for all the changes, Noah having to go through them one by one as his eyes landed on the skill that used to be known as Spiritual Land Management...but it was now termed Cosmic Core Management!

[Upgrade Conditions- Unknown]
"..."
There were a great deal of things to unpack on the sheer possibilities that could unfold from the Cosmos that Noah had bound himself to at this moment.
He had to get through it in stages as first and foremost...were that he could now plant and harvest things like Seeds of Chronos, Primordial Apples, and Ruination Strawberries!
[Primordial Apples] :: A type of unique fruit elixir only capable of being planted in a Primordial Dao Space. Capable of infusing intestate Primordial Essence into the body as it acts as the ultimate elixir to cure all status effects and fully rejuvenates the mana and health of even a Universal Realm existence. Even though it is due to chance that infinitely nears 0%, when Primordial Apples are eaten and in large amounts, there lies a possibility of gaining Comprehension in the Primordial Dao. Those already comprehending the Dao gain increased Comprehension and Assimilation when Primordial Apples are eaten...
"..."
This was an example of the description that Noah read under these brand new plantable plants, this description also revealing the fact that Noah could now enact Primordial Dao Spaces and Ruination Dao Spaces within the Cosmos!
He could actually designate entire areas to be filled with the essence of these 2 supreme Cosmic Daos as only only them could he plant ridiculous fruits.
That wasn't all as from the description, it also detailed that there lay a miniscule chance to gain Comprehension within the Cosmic Daos...and that one could gain increased Comprehension and Assimilation when they devoured these fruits! Noah was focusing on the Ruination Strawberries for this as he nearly laughed at the fact that he was given another method to increase the ridiculously slow pace of comprehending these Cosmic Daos.
He would make a grand campaign to plant all of these fruits and herbs that dealt with a myriad of the Daos he was working on as he made sure to comprehend and assimilate them at speeds that would even shock Antiquitys!
This was just the farming portion of the upgrades that almost wanted to make Noah live a different life and become a farmer that became crazily overpowered just from eating the things he planted and harvested…
The Size Regulation and Movement features were enhanced just like all the others, still allowing Noah to reduce or expand the size of the Cosmos somewhat and move with it, but he wouldn't be able to reduce such an object that was who knew how many light years in diameter in terms of human prospects!
He might be able to compress and expand the Cosmos to a few light years or even possible millions of miles, where he would need to have his body grow larger than Galaxies for his dream of holding a Cosmos within his hands could be accomplished.
Can one imagine the sight? Being capable of moving across the vast Ruination Sea while holding an entire Cosmos in one's hands?!
"Ah…"
It was a magisterial sight that Noah would do anything to bring to fruition, even if it was to just satisfy his heart!
Chapter 1133 - My Infinite Cosmos! II
Aside from the many other features, [Blacksmith's Forge] and [Alchemy Hall] had many more terrifying weapons and concoctions they could make, with Dao Weapons filled with Ruination and Primordial Essence being a piece of cake to forge and pills or bombs from the same of such essence being capable of being formed in the Alchemy Hall!
But Noah's eyes breezed past all of this as he arrived at [Dao Birth] ability that was one of the ones to change the most.
When Noah first had his Universal Core formed with the Dark Universe, the feature had the following description!
Dao Birth :: Dao Birth is normally an ability that only those in the Universal Realm can have a chance of utilizing. Such an ability holds the secrets on how to surpass the Universal Realm to reach the state of ●●●●● ●●●●●. After coming into control of a Universal Core, Noah Osmont can utilize this feature to Birth a limited number of Daos of his own making. Dao Spaces of already utilized Daos can also be established within the Universal Core. Currently possible Daos : 3 Lesser.
Now that the Universal Core had become a Cosmos, this feature had vastly different content!
Dao Birth :: Dao Birth is normally an ability that only those in the Universal Realm can have a chance of utilizing. Such an ability holds the secrets on how to surpass the Universal Realm to reach the state of Nirvanic Antiquity. After upgrading to a Cosmic Core, Noah Osmont can utilize this feature to Birth a limited number of Daos of his own making. Previously designed Daos can also be enhanced to higher levels. Currently possible Daos : 9 Lesser, 6 Grand, 3 Cosmic. The design of Cosmic Daos faces strict limitations and possibilities, be careful in its utilization.
Yes!
Cosmic Daos could now be designed!
Not just that, but the number of lesser daos he could design increased to 9 as he could also design 6 Grand Daos!
"...!"
Even Noah raised his eyes in alarm at such a thing as he had to know its limits.
"The design of Cosmic Daos…"
Anything like the Cosmic Daos of Annihilation or even the slightly higher tier ones like Chronos and Extinction can be designed. Cosmic Daos at the level of Ruination or the Primordial Dao are not capable of being designed at this moment.
The voice of the Cosmic Core that was a mix of his past Universal Core and the consciousness of the Primordial Cosmos rang out as Noah's eyes shone with glorious light when he heard them!
He was particularly interested in three words as he had to repeat them.
"At this moment?"
At this moment.
RUMBLE!
A devilish smile couldn't help but form on Noah's face at this confirmation. He couldn't do such a thing now, but there lay a possibility for him to later be capable of designing Daos that made for the very structure of the reality he was in!
"But…"
His eyes went back to the interface that showed the number of Daos he could design as he had to be content with what he could currently do.
3 Cosmic Daos and 6 Grand ones, along with 9 Lesser.
He could choose to bring any of his 3 Lesser Daos to the Cosmic Level, or simply advance them to the Grand level and design entirely new different Cosmic Daos!
The Lesser Daos of Subterfuge, Fealty, and Conquest each had their own strength, but Noah could definitively say that when it came to usage and importance currently, Fealty and Conquest were at the very top.
He was using Fealty to constantly expand and gorge connections with quintillions of beings at a very close level as it granted him an overabundance of Marks of Antiquity, and the Lesser Dao of Conquest effectively quadrupled his strength among other things within the Cosmos under him.
He saw himself definitely enhancing these two to the level of Grand Daos, but the question of enhancing or designing Cosmic Daos...that was something to give a whole lot more thought to!
This was something virtually no Hegemonies or Antiquities could do, with Noah possibly thinking that maybe someone at the Cosmic level could do such a thing, or even possibly the Primordials.
Now...he could do this too as the possibilities were too stupendous!
"And then…"
Then there were the two new features after the Universal Core was elevated past a Universal Filament Core to a Cosmic Core all at once.
Noah's eyes gazed upon these two new features with an expression that seemed to already be imagining what their effects would be!
[Universal Singularity] :: It starts with a Singularity. A point of an unknown density and gravity as from it...a Universe can be born. This ability allows the Cosmic Core to use the vital Ruination and Primordial Essence of the Cosmos to cause the emergence of a new Universe. Since Primordial Essence has always been the main contributor for the emergence of Universes, any Universes designed through this feature will be under the dual Enhancement of Ruination and Primordial Essence.
[Universal Empowerment] :: Selected Universes can be empowered as their concentration of Atmospheric Essence, Dao and Law Essences, Golden Destiny, and Universal Fortune are increased by 10,000%. Existences living under such conditions will find themselves ascending through Realms of Power faster as the tides of fortune and destiny veer towards their direction.
Two brand new features!
The stupendous effects of Universal Empowerment aside, there was the feature of Universal Singularity.
A feature that allowed the Cosmos to use Vital Ruination and Primordial Essence to cause the emergence of an entirely new Universe!
"Vital Essence?"
Noah couldn't help but find himself asking the enormous consciousness he was connected to.
The purest form of Essence that a Cosmos builds up over time. The reserves that the Primordial Cosmos had over the years are large for the Primordial Essence, but the available vital Ruination Essence will only allow for the emergence of 1 or two Universes at most currently.
Essence to allow for the emergence of more Universes!
As he got to this point, Noah's eyes found that they couldn't help but keep on staring at the feature of [Universal Singularity].
Just...just how glorious would such a scene be to witness?!
Chapter 1134 - My Infinite Cosmos! III
Since the merging of the old Primordial Cosmos and Noah's Universal Construct had just occurred, the vital essence for both Ruination and Primordial Essence was extremely low. It was only enough for the emergence of one or two Universes.
When Noah got to this point in his thought process, he actually had to come to a stop for a second just to take in what it truly meant.
He had actually arrived at a stage in his life where he was actually looking at the prospects of using a unique treasure to watch the emergence of an entire Universe!
A treasure that was found on a small world in the Novus Galaxy. A treasure that stemmed from a floating landmass. From a mere Spiritual Land...now, it was a Cosmos capable of causing the emergence of Universes!
With all the new features that had just been opened up and the myriad of possibilities laying in front of Noah, he wanted to experience the emergence of a Universe among the first set of things. This included the design of new Cosmic and Grand daos, the mass spread of fealty across the Cosmos, restructuring and visiting the unseen Universes, farming fruits such as Ruination Strawberries and Primordial Apples...
He truly did have too many things to delve through, his main body alone being besieged on all sides by Marks of Antiquity that had now surpassed 500 Billion after the completion of the merging of the Cosmos! Currently, Noah had 2 normal Universes and a third one that barely had over 10 Billion Galaxies within it aside from his first Splendiferous Universe.
The number of Marks of Antiquity he held meant he could change the nature of his remaining normal Universes into a Splendiferous Universe as with nothing to stop him, he allowed the Marks to flow into his billions of Galaxies and change them into Dao Galaxies right away!
THRUM!
The glorious Origin that had begun establishing its universes trembled with might as the marks sank in with ease, billions of galaxies becoming changed every single second as in a short period of time, Noah's second Universe glimmered with an array of rainbow colored lights- a second Splendiferous Universe being born.
A few moments later, the third universe also shone with an array of colors as it shone gorgeously, 200 Billion Marks of Antiquity being used in a matter of seconds as the fourth universe that held only 10 Billion Galaxies were also changed into Dao Galaxies!
So just hours into Noah becoming an Antiquity by stepping into the Universal Filament Realm, all of his Universes were Splendiferous Universes as he even had reserves of Marks of Antiquity he couldn't utilize because of the fact that he didn't have any galaxies to apply them to!
If other Antiquities knew this, they would bellow in anger and unfairness as it was good Noah didn't brag, or one wouldn't know what the Blue Slime and Oathkeeper would think when they realized just how much further ahead Noah had pulled himself in the short period of time.
"Just ridiculous…"
Deep within the Cosmic Core, Noah looked at his own hands and body after arriving at this stage, sensing the profound level of power as he could hardly believe it even now. He could quite literally wield the strength of multiple Universes as the might of this was enough to cause one's brain to buzz in confusion if ever they tried to understand this concept of strength.
But for Noah...he just wanted to see how much further he could take it as he put everything else aside and gazed over a certain direction, his body beginning to bubble with essence as he disappeared into the folds of space!
He was currently utilizing the pure strength of his body alone, weaving into the folds of space of the Cosmic Core and the Universes around it as it was like opening wormholes in one area and appearing out of another.
This was the concept of entering the folds of space as depending on how fast one could move in these folded spaces, they could cover large distances in a short period of time! With Noah's current strength, he stepped out of the Cosmic Core with one step as he entered the Liberated Universe.
With another step, his figure disappeared into the folds of space as he appeared in the Animus Universe! With another step, he was in the Microbial Universe as on the fourth step...he actually left the Primordial Cosmos!
"..."
Four steps, and he crossed a myriad of Universes and arrived into the Ruination Sea.
THRUM!
Such a level of speed and power caused Noah's heart to shake in utter joy and excitement as he stepped into the Ruination Sea. His eyes couldn't help but lock onto the outline of the Microbial Universe he just came out of, his figure beginning to expand in size as he flew further and further away from the Cosmos so he could see all of it with a single glance!
[Size Regulation].
WAA!
A glorious crimson and white glow instantly suffused the Cosmos, Noah beginning to shrink it in size as in the Ruination Sea, his body expanded to grow bigger and bigger as it very soon surpassed millions of miles, seconds later expanding to a few light years as with the usage of immense mana, Noah grew to become a gigantic titan in the Ruination Sea while the Cosmos before him continued to shrink.
"Stop."
It only took a few seconds before he called out lightly, and this one because he had grown to an exaggerated amount in the Ruination Sea as his multicolored eyes could see a glimmering object before his eyes.
It was a collection of transparent circles that pulsed with powerful light, these circles coming together and attaching to each other with unbreakable bonds as they formed into a multicolored and glimmering Cosmos!
The sigh of an entire Cosmos and the Universes within it...Noah could actually see such a magnificent scene with his own eyes as his titanous hands that were light years in size reached out across the roiling Ruination Sea to try and hold on to the Cosmos before him in his very own hands.
As he did this, he uttered out shocking words that foretold his plans for the future!
"My Infinite Cosmos…"
…!
Chapter 1135 - My Infinite Cosmos! IV
Infinite Cosmos!
Such were the words Noah uttered out as gloriously, he took in a miniaturized Cosmos that was still light years in diameter in his very own hands. That was an uncountable trillions of miles...all fitting into his palm as he floated gloriously in the Ruination Sea.
It was an action that was enough to make a being think highly of themselves, an action that might make others think that they had exceeded some boundaries and become untouchable existences that others can only ever aspire to be!
But for Noah…
He only had a light smile while letting himself experience this scene, his thoughts being very different. This was because even as he had arrived at such a juncture, when he thought about the Primordials that controlled entire branches of realities that held who knew how many Cosmos, he knew he couldn't be arrogant.
He wouldn't deceive himself to think he had unbeatable power when he had just stepped into the Universal Filament Realm and had yet to explore the vast Ruination Sea.
When he thought of this, his titanous head turned around to look at the vast Ruination Sea around him. It was utterly silent without a single noise, only the constant and roiling essence of ruination flowing around endlessly! When he stared out into the crimson expanse of this sea, a deep sense of foreboding began to fill Noah's heart as he knew out there within this Sea were terrifying Primordial Beasts as well as Cosmos that had their own terrifying beings!
Who knew when he would run into a Primordial Beast or what its level would be? Would he even be able to handle it if it was a Grand or Cosmic Primordial Beast?
When he arrived at such a thought, his careful eyes glistened with an array of colors as he called out slowly.
"Save Point."
WAA!
A cascade of light glimmered from his body silently as Noah left a mark in the timeline of this reality, a mark that he could return to if anything ever happened in the future!
After this, Noah glanced at the Infinite Cosmos within his hands as he brought it close to his eyes, communicating with the Cosmic Core.
"Let's test the birth of new Universes with the utilization of Universal Singularity."
Yes, Master. Initiating the usage of Universal Singularity.
THRUM!
The glorious Cosmos before him vibrated intensely. It floated before Noah's eyes as he could see everything clearly, noticing a white and crimson light wash over the 53 Universes within this Cosmos as this light came to coagulate at an empty spot past the Microbial Universe in the Ruination Sea!
This single spot...this point of Singularity, it took form at this moment as an area of infinite density and gravity bloomed, its source stemming from vital Ruination and Primordial Essence.
Noah's heart shook as he found his eyes were actually nearly blinded when he stared at this point of Singularity. It wasn't that it was bright, but it seemed to suck in everything around it endlessly!
This point of infinite density and gravity was where matter was compressed down to an infinitely tiny point, and the feature of [Universal Singularity] used precious vital essence to induce this point to release the infinitely compressed matter.
BZZZT!
The Ruination Sea churned as the crimson and white light from the Infinite Cosmos exploded out.
Noah's eyes released beams of gold and red light as he didn't even dare to blink, watching the magisterial essence of Ruination and Primordial wrap around the point of Singularity as a second later...this infinitely dense spot expanded out!
BOOOOOM!
An explosive sound akin to a clap of thunder reverberated across the Infinite Cosmos.
Before Noah's eyes, as if everything was playing in slow motion- he was able to see the point of Singularity expand outwards at an instantaneous rate as he saw billions of unformed stellar bodies unfurl right before his very eyes.
Even though the process was instantaneous, he was able to see its expansion and how in an instant point of time, stellar bodies unfurled as blank stars clustered together in Galaxies appeared!
The blooming of billions of Galaxies as they drew in the Primordial and Ruination essence was a fantastical scene reflected in his eyes as after their formation, they shone with an Incandescence across the entire Universe.
"..."
Noah was speechless as he saw the newly formed Universe tightly hug the boundaries of the adjacent Microbial Universe and Omicron Universe, a brand new circular object being added onto the vast Cosmos as its Universes reached 54.
A Universe was successfully induced to form from a point of Singularity. What shall be its name?
The voice of the Cosmic Core rang out in his mind as Noah adopted a thoughtful expression.
It was the first Universe he had the chance to see the formation of, his gaze becoming reminiscent as he thought of the name of a certain place he came from.
"As it is new, let it be termed Novus! The Novus Universe!"
RUMBLE!
Novus meant new! Novus akin to the past Novus Galaxy that Noah stemmed from! At this moment, the blank Novus Universe was born in the Ruination Sea as it joined the Infinite Cosmos, Noah looking at such a scene with eyes that swirled with many thoughts.
His eyes shone with incandescent lights as his figure began to reduce in size, there still being many things he had to do as he prepared to advance forward and wander across the Ruination Sea!

Chapter 1136 - Antiquity Of Mana! I
In the vast Ruination Sea.
Far away from Noah observing his Infinite Cosmos, the prominent figure of a certain Primordial that he had come in contact with not too long ago could be seen!
She had crossed untold distances and deadly Ruination and Primordial storms to arrive at a certain location in the Ruination Sea, and she was currently hidden in the folds of the Ruination Sea as she watched a certain spectacle play out with interest.
Her figure was actually located a few trillion miles away, but her eyes crossed this shocking distance to gaze upon a battle that was taking place between two existences.
The battle was something that caused the vast Ruination Seas to churn and tumble as when the Primordial gazed upon it, one couldn't find any awe or surprise on her veiled expression, but simply a sense of interest!
"Little Aegon has truly grown up since I first met him. To be handling a Grand Primordial Beast like this…"
…!
Yes! The Primordial was shockingly watching a battle between an existence that was set to be the champion of an actual reality against a Primordial Beast that could devour entire Cosmos!
RUMBLE!
The Ruination Sea trembled as the figures of the two existences became clear.
One was a valiant looking human, his figure being nothing as such as it towered many light years in size, being larger than any Galaxies based on his form alone! The eyes of this being shone with utter darkness as they seemed like black holes that could draw in all light, his eyes and jaws looking so sharp that they could cut apart those that looked too closely.
His hair was even darker as it draped over his shoulders, giving this being a wild look as this wasn't the most impressive thing to look at on his body. The most shocking thing was that below the neck of this being...his entire body was glowing like a pristine and sculpted Cosmic Treasure, every single portion of his skin shining beautifully with a rainbow glow of light!
An innumerable number of lines and runic sigils seemed to be revolving on his skin constantly, his body rumbling with power as he even caused the surroundings Ruination Seas to vibrate due to his sheer power.
With his dark eyes and hair cascading down his shoulders and his body glowing with multicolored light, he was the brightest thing in the Ruination Sea for thousands of light years as the enemy he faced...was a Beast that was actually five times his size.
A Beast that eclipsed the sizes of multiple Galaxies as its eyes were filled with an adorned majesty and power, these eyes shimmering a beautiful gold as they reflected the colors of this Beast gloriously! Its entire body was filled with golden white fur that draped over it majestically, this Beast having 5 pairs of white and gold wings erupting on its back as it floated on four legs that glistened gloriously!
The head of this Beast was extremely unique, looking like a mixture of the most pristine dragons and phoenixes as paired with the 5 pairs of white and gold wings, it had an air of inviolable majesty that screamed sacredness and honor! As if this Beast could be the protector of some holy land that graced the lands with love and protection...but this was a Primordial Beast.
A Primordial Beast that devoured entire Universes and Cosmos as they had the goal of erasing all the Cosmos within a branching reality and returning it to the Original Reality!
This Primordial Beast was even termed a Grand one at that, thousands of Splendiferous Universes shining brilliantly on its chest as it stared fearlessly at the titanous human before it. The human stared back with even less fear as the multiple colors all over his body rotated even faster, and one would be able to notice something shocking sparkling on the chest of this being.
There, hidden amidst the brilliance of moving lines and runic circles on his skin, one would be able to see a grandly shimmering Cosmos.
A Cosmos!
Such a being was standing against a Grand Primordial Beast fearlessly, but the more profound thing was that the Primordial Beast didn't fear him as well! The Beast being in the upper tier of the Universal Filament with thousands of Splendiferous Universes actually didn't relent when facing against an existence in the Cosmic Realm, and this was due to a truth that very few beings knew that even allowed Grand Primordial Beasts to stand against regular existences in the Cosmic Realm.
It was the terrifying power that all Primordial Beasts were given at their birth that caused them to be so terrifying that normal Antiquities would only find themselves facing death if ever they came across one. It was…
"Let's see...this one has already entered its second stage in life as it has complete comprehension and assimilation of both the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination. Should have already devoured a few cosmos…"
RUMBLE!
The Primordial watching from afar spoke out with no emotions at the mention of this beast having already devoured a few Cosmos- that was an uncountable number of lives! But her apathetic words contained shocking information about the nature of Primordial Beasts.
At their birth, they either held complete comprehension and assimilation in the Dao of Ruination OR the Primordial Dao.
It was something that even the existences who were lucky enough to comprehend these Daos would struggle to achieve until the Universes within their Origins dried up and they died, and yet they had it at birth!
The complete assimilation of Daos such as these brought about profound strength that would almost make an existence unrivaled across myriad of Cosmos.
Yet this was the first stage of life of Primordial Beasts.
Their second Stage consisted of them gaining the complete assimilation of BOTH Ruination and the Primordial Dao, and this was when they were termed Grand Primordial Beasts.
The third stage of life was truly the most terrifying one, and it was these Primordial Beasts that more often than not accomplished their purposes of returning things to how they once were and destroyed entire branching realities.
The stage that allowed them to be termed Cosmic Primordial Beasts, the Enders of Realities!
RUMBLE!
Chapter 1137 - Antiquity Of Mana! II
Cosmic Primordial Beasts!
Enders of Realities!
Existences that even those in the Cosmic Realm would be hard pressed to fight, existences that more often than not- Primordials had to take care of.
Primordials...or the special and unique champions that they raised across different realities.
The existence that the Primordial was watching wasn't matching an Ender of Reality, just a Primordial Beast that was a level lower. But if anyone within dozens of Cosmos claimed they could do what this being was doing...they would be lying!
THRUM!
The innumerable colorful lines and runic circles rotating on the skin of the ones known as Aegon thrummed powerfully, his body shining like a treasure as he moved across the Ruination Sea fearlessly.
ROOOAAR!
The Grand Primordial Beast also bellowed out as the Ruination Sea around them fell under its control, its entire body suffused with Primordial and Ruination Essence as it seemed like it could change its entire nature into these very Daos at any second!
SHAA!
A glorious light flashed as the figure of Aegon and the Grand Primordial Beast passed each other.
BOOOM!
A sound akin to a Universe shattering exploded out, golden blood from the Grand Primordial Beast erupting out as two of its wings were actually ripped apart, the golden blood from them still freshly flowing from the hands of the dominantly colored Aegon.
The Ruination and Primordial Essence flowing through this creature couldn't stop what had just occurred, as Aegon didn't use any flashy moves and simply utilized his very own hands to somehow rip apart a pair of wings from the terrifying Primordial Beast!
…!
His eyes were without any enthusiasm or happiness as he looked at such a result in utter calm, the angered roars of the Beast not even being registered by him as he moved forward again, the many runic lines and circles moving colorfully across his body being the reason for his shocking power as he moved without any flashy skills to tear apart a Beast with thousands of Splendiferous Universes and completely assimilated Ruination and Primordial Daos.
Just what was the mystery behind his strength? How could he so easily bypass the stupendous might of fully assimilation Ruination and Primordial Daos?!
The mystery would remain unsolved as in the turbid Ruination Sea, golden blood overflowed.
The regal and sacred looking Grand Primordial Beast continued to release shocking power and awe, but it was still being ripped apart endlessly by this single being that had his body shining gloriously with an array of rainbow colored lights!
ROAR!
The cries became weaker and weaker as minutes passed, the Ruination Sea nearby becoming dyed gold as in a short period of time, the weakening roars ultimately ceased.
"..."
The majestic figure of the multicolored Aegon shone gloriously in the Ruination Sea, glancing at the lakes of golden blood around him as within his hands, a colorful heart thumped powerfully.
A Grand Primordial Heart pulsed with glorious power while still dripping golden blood, this existence doing something stupefying in the next moment as he opened his mouth and threw this heart into his mouth, golden blood spurting out amidst his chewing!
This Primordial Heart was nothing like the one Noah had received as it was light years in sheer size alone, the stupendous existence actually chewing this heart and devouring it raw as in this process, his sharp eyes gazed towards a certain direction.
A few trillions of miles away in the Ruination Sea, it was the spot where a certain Primordial was watching the events unfold, her veil shaking slightly as she raised her head, a hidden smile appearing that nobody could see as she tore through the Ruination Sea to appear out grandly!
As a meeting occurred after a grand battle countless light years away, another one formed in the Microbial Universe of the Infinite Cosmos.
It contained a majority if not all of the Hegemonies that spanned from the 54 Universes, all of them converging here amidst their shock as this was the place where from its boundary, they could see the thin veil of another Universe that had not been here for the millions of years that even the oldest of them had been living in the Primordial Cosmos!
They also gathered here for answers as after Oathkeeper had sent a message for them to not interfere when they sensed changes occurring across many universes, he also told all of them to gather in the Microbial Universe if they wished for answers.
And so they did.
These powerful beings were clustered around each other with somber expressions as they were very aware of what had been occurring the past few minutes, noticing the wondrous light of assimilation that passed through many Universes as well as the appearance of this new Universe.
As for the being responsible? All of them had an inkling of who it was as the Great Old Nazzagath was the first to turn his head from the direction of the newly formed Universe!
WAA!
From there, the figure of a devilishly handsome young man appeared, his brows sharp as his eyes glimmered with a golden and crimson light.
His body released the powerful aura of an Antiquity as Great Old Nazzagath and the other Hegemonies found their Origins shaking when they noticed the manifestation of 4 wondrous Universes, 3 of them being completed Splendiferous Universes that shone with a fantastical glow!
All of the powerhouses of the Infinite Cosmos gazed towards Noah's figure with a myriad of thoughts as a white crack expanded above each of them soon after, Primordial Essence gushing out of it as the figures of Oathkeeper and Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone that looked exactly the same as his main body that just stepped out of the newly formed Novus Universe.
Oathkeeper glanced at Noah's main body and then back to the Primordial Ruination Clone that had been with him all this time in the unique Primordial Sea of the past Primordial Cosmos, this ancient being sighing out slowly as his gaze landed on the Hegemonies of the now Infinite Cosmos.
"I guess now is a good time as any for introductions."
RUMBLE!
The voice of Oathkeeper reverberated out as it carried with it the unique aura of Antiquity, catching the eyes of all Hegemonies as they felt very familiar with Oathkeeper! He was someone they knew very closely as even though he had achieved a grand stage before them, they still saw him as their own.
They paid attention to him as he gazed and pointed towards Noah's figure that just stepped out of the Novus Universe.
"You knew him as the Apex Paragon just days ago. He achieved Hegemony in the past day as hours later...he achieved Antiquity."
…!
Even though they knew the sequence of events, the Hegemonies still had their Origins tremble in a stupor at this incredible reality being real as they also felt ashamed of themselves for having spent hundreds of thousands if not millions of years in the stage of Hegemonies!
But the Oathkeeper paid no attention to their emotions as this ancient being had already learned many lessons recently, thinking of how to introduce Noah now that he had achieved Antiquity.
He could base it off of the most unique Dao this being comprehended as he introduced him as the Antiquity of Ruination, but the golden eyes of the Oathkeeper shone as he truly thought about another unique feature that he had seen with this being over and over again since the appearance of the Universal Constructs and this whole ordeal!
The unique feature of this being that as a Vassal, he felt very closely at this moment as it had made him overly powerful.
It was the feature of mana!
"I introduce to you all the being responsible for our current state of affairs, the Antiquity...of Mana!"
RUMBLE!
Chapter 1138 - Comprehending And Assimilating Cosmic Daos Is Easy! I
Antiquity of Mana!
When the Hegemonies heard this title, they couldn't help but nod when they recalled the actions of this being the past few days!
Thus, another title was conferred to Noah as the Hegemonies still looked towards him with somber expressions, a hint of carefulness and fear hiding deep within their hearts at this being's power.
Achieving Antiquity just hours after becoming a Hegemony! What a concept this was to wrap one's head around. The sheer meaning behind it caused the Hegemonies of the Infinite Cosmos to be extremely wary of his power!
But with this introduction, Noah smiled lightly as his main body disappeared, the Primordial Ruination Clone being left behind as the unique authority of an Antiquity emanated from him to address everyone here.
"I've gone ahead and taken the liberties to expand my authority over the entire Cosmos...and you all should be able to see the changes that come with this as time passes."
THRUM!
Like a bolt of thunder, his words struck down into the hearts of these existences that had lived for hundreds of thousands and millions of years.
Yet he, an existence still in the middle of his 20s...stood above them and delivered such a message!
"Along with my authority...comes possibilities for you all to achieve even more power, and it is through the method that the Oathkeeper himself has just taken."
Noah looked towards the direction of the Oathkeeper who held immeasurable sighs hidden in his ancient face, continuing lightly as he then locked eyes with dozens of Hegemonies.
"Fealty."
RUMBLE
"In this Infinite Universe...those that will pledge Fealty to me will be able to ascend ranks and obtain power in their wildest dreams! Consider this closely in the next few days as I spread my authority even more closely with the existences across this Cosmos."
…!
In a domineering tone, Noah addressed the masses of the most powerful beings of the Cosmos as they did not dare to talk back, his eyes gazing over each of them as he even gave a nod to Great Old Nazzagath whom he had given this same offer to before!
"There is much to be done, so I'll be taking my leave first."
SHAA!
With a flash of light, Noah disappeared before the eyes of the Hegemonies as they felt like they could somewhat breathe again, their gazes all locking towards Oathkeeper that had the same aura of an Antiquity as the being that just left, only his aura was a few notches lower!
"Oathkeeper, this Antiquity of Mana…"
The beings who knew him and his allies that he had been working with for millions of years came forward to take with him as busting discussions erupted about Noah.
Amidst all of this, the powerful aura of an Antiquity didn't escape the minds of the Hegemonies as after some time, strong voices began to echo out.
"What shall we now address Oathkeeper as? We cannot keep referring to you with a title from your birthed Dao after you achieve Antiquity…"
"Yes! Something to fit your current achievements…"
THRUM!
As the talks were getting more and more robust, the star form of the Great Old Nazzagath shook as he grabbed the attention of everyone. This old being was nearly as old as Oathkeeper and the Goliath as he knew these beings from a long time ago, his voice echoing out powerfully at this moment.
"Since Oathkeeper is the only one in our Cosmos to comprehend the Primordial Dao...we can just refer to him as the Primordial Antiquity!"
…!
Another title was conferred!
The Hegemonies looked at each other as they nodded, their gazes then returning to the Antiquity above them as their eyes were filled with flames of wanting.
Wanting the same realms and power that this being had achieved!
It was this wanting and search for greater power that started off the next Era of the Infinite Cosmos, and also this wanting that caused all the Hegemonies to remember Noah's words about Fealty!
The river of time ebbed ever so slowly forward.
Like this, a bit over a week passed as a great deal of things were accomplished in the Infinite Cosmos.
Grasping onto and accepting the changes was easy for the masses, with Noah going into the Cosmic Core on the first day as he carried out multiple grand actions!
The first was to elevate the Lesser Dao of Fealty to a Grand Dao, and he did this first as he would expand the essence of this Dao across the Cosmos to the uncountable number of Quintillions within it.
The changes were, as always- stupendous!
GRAND? [Dao of Fealty] :: A Grand Dao birthed by the Cosmic Core of Noah Osmont. As the Dao Architect, Noah Osmont can comprehend and assimilate the Dao at 10 times the normal speed. The Dao of Fealty allows a being with extensive influence over others to boost their power, with those who swear Fealty and are considered as [Vassals] becoming applicable subordinates under the banner of an Emperor. [Vassals] can access 10% of the total power of their Emperor, with the amount of power they can access being limited by their comprehension and assimilation in the Dao of Fealty. Complete comprehension allows for 15% access, with full Assimilation granting 25% access. The unique abilities, qualities, laws, and Grand Daos of the Emperor can be utilized by the Vassals in a much lower form, with the possibilities Cosmic Daos being utilized by them only becoming a reality if the Dao of Fealty is elevated to the respective Cosmic level. Vassals with more than 50% Comprehension in the Dao of Fealty are given the titles of Barons, those with complete Comprehension being titled Earls, those over 50% Assimilation being titled Dukes, with Vassals standing at complete Assimilation being titled Kings as all of the Titled Vassals are under the banner of their Emperor...
With the advancement to a Grand Dao, the power that his Vassals could access was effectively doubled, and those with complete assimilation of the Dao Of Fealty could utilize 1/4th of his total power!
This...was just the elevation of a single lesser Dao to the Grand level!
Chapter 1139 - Comprehending And Assimilating Cosmic Daos Is Easy! II
A Grand Dao that would allow his Vassals to utilize 25% of his power when fully assimilated!
But...there were no Dao Crystals or any methods for others to ascend through the Comprehension and Assimilation of a Dao that Noah created not too many days ago, and even now there weren't any beings that had surpassed the rank of Baron by having more than 50% Comprehension in Fealty.
Another point was that the increased percentage allowed Noah to influence his Vassals at an even deeper level, his vast fortune continuing to expand resplendently as when he released the Grand Dao Essence of Fealty to cover the Infinite Cosmos…
RUUMBLE!
The regal essence of the Emperor calling for Fealty suffused throughout powerfully, an unknown number of Quintillions of existences seeing the prompt that told them if they wished for power...to pay Fealty to the Tyrannical Emperor, to the Antiquity of Mana!
The Dao Essence was filled with memories and scenes of Noah's stupendous authority, most existences throughout the Infinite Cosmos answering the call as they read through the shocking memories within the essence as well as the idea of gaining power.
With the masses pledging their Fealty, Marks of Antiquity had coalesced like never before around Noah as on the first day of the birth of the Infinite Cosmos...it's Core had released such dense golden light from the Marks of Antiquity converging towards Noah that these rays of gold light had even suffused out of the hidden folds of space and into the outside Universes!
This...was just the first day.
The majority of existences pledged Fealty as the rest would follow for the days and weeks to come, where at the end of it all, the number of Marks of Antiquity that Noah had obtained were a truly obscene amount.
The number..had actually spilled over a trillion as over 1000 Billion Marks of Antiquity were surpassed, the number stabilizing over 1580 Billion- or 1.58 Trillion Marks of Antiquity at the end of the day!
The golden rays of light had gone to wash over countless light years as by the end of it, Noah had enough Marks of Antiquity to bring to fruition over 16 Splendiferous Universes...with the only thing left to do being for him to produce them within his Origin.
Thereafter, Noah also elevated the levels of the Lesser Daos of Subterfuge and Conquest to Grand levels,?these Daos gaining a significant boost as well.
GRAND [Dao of Conquest] :: A Grand Dao birthed by the Cosmic Core of Noah Osmont... Conquered lands will always allow the user to quadruple their power while fighting within them, while their strength will always be tripled when they are in the process of Conquest... Full Assimilation of Conquest grants the user the capability to Empower not just Absolute Skills, but any Lesser and Grand Daos they Comprehend, along with their power being quintupled in Conquered Lands and quadrupled while in the process of Conquest...
It was a stupendous enhancement of multiple levels as for Noah who had fully assimilated it, he would always have his power quadrupled under the path of Conquest while having it quintupled whenever he was within conquered lands like the Infinite Cosmos!
This wasn't to mention the fact that he could now even Empower Grand and Lesser Daos from using the Light of Conquest which after conquering the entire Primordial Cosmos...this Light was burning so brightly within Noah's Origin and the glorious Star of Conquest above him that it now caused his body to always release a regal white aura constantly.
The base effects and boosts this Dao provided to Noah were above and beyond even some Cosmic Daos like Annihilation, making Noah look at the Dao of Conquest as a possible Dao to turn into a Cosmic one!
If he did, he could then gain the capability to Empower even Cosmic Daos as such a thought made his calculative mind imagine a qualitative leap in strength, especially if he could Empower Daos such as Ruination.
But Noah held off on doing this as of now as the 3 spots for the Cosmic Daos was extremely precious, and only after more deliberation and guidance from his own Dao and Fortune would he go ahead and do this.
The elevation of the Dao of Subterfuge to the Grand level on the other hand didn't provide as much ridiculous boosts as Fealty or Conquest, only enhancing the capabilities of Subterfuge being seen through as Noah could hide in front of or fool an existence a whole realm above him and have no chance to be discovered!
The elevation of all of the first 3 Daos Noah designed only boosted his strength to another level as he now directed his efforts to see what Cosmic Daos he should produce, and it was during this same period of days that he oversaw the Universes of the Infinite Cosmos while taking up his role as...a farmer.
A farmer! As grand as Noah was, his scale wasn't small as he devised a plan for him to heavily elevate the Comprehension and Assimilation of his Daos, and this could now be done with ease when utilizing the newly unlocked plants and herbs of the Infinite Cosmos such as Ruination Strawberries and Primordial Apples!
For this, Noah spared no efforts as when he acted, he acted in a major way.
With the help of {Cosmic Core Management}, he could expertly select which areas he wanted to turn into farmlands that would be designated as Dao Spaces, these lands having increased concentrations of specific Dao Essences as Noah would plant their matching fruits and herbs here.
For the area that Noah designated as farmlands where he planted obscene amounts of Seeds of Time, Primordial Apples, Ruination Strawberries...it was an entire Universe.
The blank and newly formed Novus Universe...had all of its tens of billions of Galaxies with all of their stellar bodies turned into cultivation fields and Dao Spaces where he planted a shocking number of fruits that when consumed- they granted an increase in comprehensive and assimilation of their respective Daos!
An entire universe!
The extremely slow paced Cosmic Dao of Ruination and even the Primordial Dao that Noah had yet to learn...when he began eating up the treasured Ruination Strawberries and Primordial Apples, what could they do but submit to him and rise up crazily in proficiency?!
Chapter 1140 - Comprehending And Assimilating Cosmic Daos Is Easy! III
In the newly emerged Novus Universe.
The figures of multiple important personages could be seen floating in the void of space, all of them situated behind a single being that was surrounded by a few key figures!
The devilishly handsome appearance of Noah could be seen with clarity as he floated at the forefront, his figure suffused with golden and white lights from his overabundance of fortune and light of Conquest.
Around him, the calm and steady figure of the Ice Queen Adelaide could be seen, this Queen being clad in a white dress as she stood the closest to Noah!
Nearby, the figure of Valentina could be seen as she sported an unreadable expression, Barbatos floating beside her lazily as the figures of Anna, Elena, Athena, Kazuhiko, Morgana, the Sword Emperor...it was many of the core beings that stemmed from Noah's world and Dark Universe.
They had the honor to stand beside the being that released terrifying waves of Authority as further behind them were the figures of Noah's Summons, each of them showing shimmering Universes manifested within their Origins as with the passing of 7 days...Noah had truly been busy!
With his Realm being higher, Noah could seamlessly bring the Realm of his contracted Animus Summons to the same level through the [Animus Growth Empowerment] ability that if one remembers- it allowed his contracted summons to be brought to the same Realm as the Summoner.
But there was still a limitation to this as when one looked closely at the manifested Universes of Noah's summons, they would be able to notice they were all normal Universes as they also released the aura of Apocryphal Antiquities!
This was because they didn't enter the Universal Filament Realm through completing their first Splendiferous Universe, but through Noah breaking them through by force as they didn't hold a sufficient amount of Marks of Antiquity to have enough Dao Galaxies.
But their life up was still terrifying for others to see as the hearts of the Hegemonies of the past Primordial Cosmos were the most shaken as they looked towards them from the back.
Many existences were currently present within this Novus Universe, with the Oathkeeper standing in front of multiple Hegemonies as they stared in wonder at the sight of Apocryphal Antiquities...and the scene that everyone here was glancing at in front of Noah.
It was the scene of countless Galaxies glimmering brightly, all of them lined up and arranged in neat rows as they covered their sight for innumerable light years all around!
Under the control of the Cosmic Core, the layout of the Novus Universe was changed as all of the Galaxies within it were put together in these neat rows, Noah using these Galaxies as farming fields as he designated all of them into Dao Spaces of different Daos to grow the unique treasure fruits and herbs of the Infinite Cosmos.
As always, the plants had a period of time they had to pass through before they could be harvested, and Noah had gone ahead and reduced tens of years of waiting for sacred fruits like Ruination Strawberries and Primordial Appless into a mere 7 days.
7 days!
Of course, this was only made possible through the skill tree of [Versatile Farmer], Noah utilizing the ability of [Master Farmer] within it and bathing the entire tens of billions of Galaxies within the Novus Universe with a verdant light that caused the planted seeds of a myriad of sacred Dao plants and herbs to quickly sprout and grow until they were now ready to be harvested!
This was why everyone was gathered here!
They were all staring in utter stupor at the sudden increase of Antiquities around Noah, but they also couldn't hold their amazement at the countless Galaxies lined up around them that shimmered with different lights.
Some shone brightly red as Ruination Strawberries were planted on all the planetary bodies of this Galaxy. Others shone purple as Seeds of Time permeated throughout them, and other Galaxies shone a resplendent white as Primordial Apples filled their planetary bodies.
Their thick essence caused the entire Universe to be suffused with a wondrous glow and atmosphere, the life force of these plants even causing all the races of the Euthenia Universe that was largely plant based to want to live here!
But as everyone stared at the sight before them and at Noah in a stupor, this being at the center of it all spoke as he utilized [Automatic Planting and Harvesting] to pluck all the harvestable fruits of a single Galaxy.
THRUM!
The light of one pristinely white galaxy dimmed slightly as a second later, sparkling Incandescent white apples that shone like the most sacred treasures appeared before everyone in the trillions.
Sacred fruits capable of allowing one to gain increased Comprehension and Assimilation in the Primordial Dao...were actually harvested by the trillions from a single Galaxy!
"..."
As Noah looked at such a scene, even he thought he might have gone overboard by planting an entire Universe with such types of Dao Fruits, and he knew they would be nearly endless for him and his subordinates to use as they wished.
But the prerequisite for one to fully enjoy them was to have initial comprehension in the respective Dao!
Noah waved his hands as one of the Primordial Apples landed on his hands, the sacred fruit releasing rays of light as they seemed full of Primordial Essence.
He didn't have any comprehension in the Primordial Dao...but it didn't mean such a reality would remain for long as while he held on to the pristine harvested Primordial Apple and under the gazes of many beings, Noah's devilish smile could be seen as he uttered out.
"Shower me with Primordial Essence!"
RUMBLE
He voiced out as it was akin to a command, the space above his figure splitting apart as the Cosmic Core heeded his command and began to release boundless waves of Primordial Essence unto Noah!
As for the reason why?
It was of course, for the skill of [Cosmic Dao Essence Integration and Emergence] that in the period of 7 days, it had finished its cool down and was ready to be used.
The first time he used it, he obtained the Cosmic Dao of Chronos. Now, he was using it again to obtain the Primordial Dao that only a single other being was capable of comprehending in the whole of Primordial Cosmos!
Chapter 1141 - Comprehending And Assimilating Cosmic Daos Is Easy! IV
'This…'
The Great Old Nazzagath had his Chthonian figure shake as he observed the scene before his eyes, the other Hegemonies he knew for many years around him having similar expressions of utter stupor when they stared at a certain figure.
Even the calm and ancient face of Oathkeeper was filled with sharp lights of shock as all of them watched a crack open in space after his command, his body becoming showered by Primordial Essence as it began to absorb it all seamlessly and begin pulsating with a Resonant white light!
At such a scene, even someone as old as Great Old Nazzagath found himself staring dumbly.
'How is such a thing possible…'
Even an existence this old couldn't wrap his mind around Noah's means as he watched a flood of Primordial Essence rush into him, and a few seconds later…
RUUMBLE!
His figure pulsated with mad power as from it, the pristine white essence of the Primordial Dao stemmed from his body.
…!
The crack above him closed as Primordial Essence stopped raining down.
His fair hands lifted up a moment later as one could see him freely conjure the light of Primordial Essence.
Primordial Essence!
'Was comprehending such a pristine Dao so easy?!'
The slimy layers of flesh of the figure of the Great Old Nazzagath shook as he thought as such, this being not being the only one as the Oathkeeeper could only be seen with an incredulous expression at the fact that a being without the Primordial Disk had just so easily grasped the Primordial Dao.
But even with their surprise, what could they do but only accept and move on?!
THRUM!
Apart from the Primordial Essence, Noah also released the Ruination Essence within his body as when he used both of these Dao Essences at the same time...he felt a bubbling and overflowing Enhancement of both of them!
Similar to the Cosmic Core, the essences seemingly could not be merged and fused together as they only enhanced the power that the opposite essence could release.
As expressions of shock spread out from all around with gazes turning towards Noah, those around him seemed less surprised as Adelaide only had a light smile on her face while looking towards Noah with an expression full of love.
Valentina had a complicated expression that was gradually resolving itself, this powerful Hegemony finally coming to a decision at this moment as she and all others watched Noah wave his hands once more!
[Automatic Planting and Harvesting] was utilized yet again, this time on a crimson Galaxy that was designated as a Ruination Law Space and held an uncountable number of resplendent Ruination Strawberries.
SHAA!
These sacred treasures fruits appeared en masse on the left side of the trillions of Primordial Apples, Noah looking at this scene with a smile as he waved his hand to call forth a Ruination Strawberry.
This crimson fruit on his left hand, the pristine white Primordial Apple on the right hand! With the trillions more of such fruits before him, Noah breathed out heavily as a second later...he brought the fruits into his mouth and began to take big bites.
"Ah…"
The pure golden honey like fluid that erupted with every bite of the Primordial Apple, the sugary and blazing taste of the pulsating strawberry that trembled with Ruination...Noah was the first to taste the sacred fruits as while he ate them, his eyes were locked onto the percentage that showed the Comprehension of his Primordial and Ruination Daos!
THRUM!
Wild bouts of essence began to dance around him as dense particles of Ruination and Primordial Essence began to form, Noah seeing his percentage in these laws moving by an imperceptible decimal percentage of who knew how many zeroes, but it was still moving.
He could elevate his Comprehension and Assimilation with ease for all of his Cosmic Daos!
Such a thought caused his eyes to release radiant rays of golden light as they landed on the vast number of Primordial Apples and Ruination Strawberries floating before him.
Some would wonder, was he about to start chowing down on all these hundreds of billions of sacred fruits until he reached the pristine 100% in both of the Cosmic Daos?
Maybe if it was another being, that would be occurring. But this...was Noah Osmont!
Among the many cards he had to play, he had the Sin of Gluttony that he could utilize the abilities of, this Sin capable of Devouring things and putting them in the [Large Stomach] that acted akin to Noah's own.
So right after getting a taste of the wondrous treasured fruits with Cosmic Dao Essence within them, Noah's body erupted out with a dark and malevolent wave behind his back, this being the Sin of Gluttony as he cared out lightly.
[Devouring].
WAA!
The dark wave he released was like hungry black holes that devoured everything, expanding rapidly as it swallowed up thousands of Ruination Strawberries and Primordial Apples every single second.
These terrifying fruits entered Noah's stomach as they were digested even faster with the abilities of Sin of Gluttony, Noah nearly letting out a laugh when he saw the percentage on both the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination shoot up by a single percentage after one second!
The hard to raise proficiency of these Cosmic Daos...had actually begun to shoot up at this moment as Noah devoured truly ridiculous fruits that should in no way exist.
When Noah saw the recently learned Primordial Dao reach 5% after just 5 seconds, his eyes trembled with joy as he couldn't help but scream out!
"More! More!"
RUMBLE!
The dense aura of the Sin of Gluttony erupted from him with even more fervor as it spread to cover hundreds of thousands of the Primordial Apples and Ruination Strawberries, the dense essence around Noah only exploding in a terrifying manner at this moment.
Oathkeeper and the other Hegemonies watched this scene with utter horror at the sheer impossibility of it, those among these aged beings that had hair nearly going bald from the sheer shock as Noah was only looking ahead of him with a maddened smile.
This was because as hundreds of thousands of the precious fruits were devoured, he saw the percentage of Comprehension for both the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination cross the 50% Mark.
The Dao of Ruination was in the lead as a second later, it hit the 80% mark. Before Noah could even blink, the interface before his eyes seemed to have almost glitched as in the next second, he saw complete 100% Comprehension in the Cosmic Dao of Ruination as a moment later, this same number appeared next to the Primordial Dao!
"..."
Immense knowledge he didn't at all work hard for filled his mind as he fully comprehended supreme Cosmic Daos in a matter of seconds.
Who said it was hard?!
Who said Cosmic Daos were things that were impossible to traverse and comprehend?!
Noah was doing it with such ease that he fully comprehended the Primordial Dao that he had just learned in a matter of seconds while fully comprehending 70% of the Dao of Ruination in even less time.
Cosmic Daos...fully comprehended in seconds!
Ah!
Chapter 1142 - You Get Assimilated! You Get Assimilated! You All Get Assimilated!
The moment Noah achieved full Comprehension in the Primordial Dao and Ruination, he felt a unique blanket of authority descend unto him from these pristine Daos, but he didn't even get a chance to revel in it as even greater authority continued to pour down.
This was because the mass of darkness she released that was the Sin of Gluttony continued to devour the Primordial Apples and Ruination Strawberries before him endlessly, the percentage that had changed to assimilation beginning to also be pushed up crazily as Noah felt these two Daos become closely attached to his soul!
The higher the percentage got, the more Noah understood Ruination and the Primordial Dao as when it reached the peak...Noah could even turn his own body into the very essence of these Daos!
The authority he would obtain from such an action was something unimaginable as if ever he faced enemies that couldn't withstand these daos, victory would be his!
"OOOOOH!"
As the Assimilation rose crazily in seconds, Noah couldn't help but release a primal bellow, those watching the scene from nearby feeling their Origins trembling as their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
They watched as from Noah's bellow, his mouth wasn't just releasing sound waves...but vibrant beams of red and white that represented the essence of two pristine Daos.
This scene….they would never be able to forget!
An Antiquity bellowing out as his mouth released beams of Ruination and Primordial Essence, the aura of his body only rising to greater and greater levels as they could only stare breathlessly!
Even Barbatos's bored expression changed. Even Valentina felt her heart tremble at such a scene as when looking at the scene of her man doing such a thing, her heart strings shook as she thought of what a good choice she had made just weeks back!
The Oathkeeper was among the other powerhouses of the Infinite Cosmos just staring in a stupor at what was occurring, their eyes catching the sight when a fantastical peak was reached.
It was the sight of Noah's figure becoming enclosed in Ruination and Primordial Essence as he...was actually completing his percentage in Assimilation within a matter of seconds.
As if he looked at the pristine Dao of Ruination and commanded it- you get assimilated!
THRUM!
As he then stared at the Primordial Dao and said you as well- get assimilated!
The void of space shook.
Crimson and white lights released so brightly from Noah's body as they seemingly bisected his body in half, the phenomenon of the white light occupying the nearby few light years as the crimson light occupied the other half occurring.
A truly magisterial sight as when the show of colors dwindled down...Noah's eyes opened like the brightest lanterns as he felt the shocking strength and authority coursing through him.
"Authority…"
He couldn't help but speak out, his voice waking up all those around him out of their stupor as he focused his eyes on his status panel.
There, the authorities he was feeling were classified in full!
{Authority of the Assimilator of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination}: An authority that only appears around those who have fully comprehended and assimilated 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 displaying 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.
{Authority of the Assimilator of the Cosmic Primordial Dao}: An authority that only appears around those who have fully comprehended and assimilated 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 displaying 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.
…!
Noah was just reading over the new authorities of these two fantastical Daos with fervor when a second later, he felt the birth of something brand new within him as yet another prompt appeared before his eyes.
With the complete assimilation of Ruination and the Primordial Daos, the pathway of deconstruction and reconstruction of Daos is now opened.
RUMBLE
Like a strike of thunder, droves of information began entering Noah's mind naturally- all of it being a consequence of not just assimilating Ruination- but also assimilating The Primordial Dao!
If he had only assimilated one, this pathway would not yet have opened!
With a Splendiferous Universe as the fuel, the deconstruction of Daos with Ruination Essence will allow for any fully assimilated Dao to be turned into pure Runic Dao Lines as the reconstruction with Primordial Essence allows one to brand these Runic Dao Lines onto their body and soul, gaining a 100 fold enhancement in the current boosts of the selected Dao in exchange for losing all Comprehension and Assimilation of such Dao.
…!
A brand new pathway opened up as Noah laid eyes upon it for the first time, his bright expression becoming ecstatic the more information he received about this pathway.
A pathway that was only initiated after the burning of a Splendiferous Universe!
A brand new path only unlocked by his recent actions, and one that would allow him to deconstruct and lose all Comprehension and assimilation of a certain Dao...only for him to have all of this restructured as Runic Dao Lines that were forever branded to his body and soul!
Ruination destroyed and Primordial recreated!
This new concept...this resplendent new path...Noah wanted to explore it fully as he dedicated all his attention into it, but he brought himself to a stop as he glanced at the existences around him that were there for a reason.
He calmed his excited heart as he glanced towards all of them with a devilish smile, his power and authority being vibrant for all to see as their stared back at him with awe, his figure clad in Ruination and Primordial Essence making him look like a primal existence from ancient times!
Chapter 1143 - Runic Dao Lines! I
The gazes of the most powerful existences glanced towards the radiant figure of Noah as while shimmering with white and crimson lights, they saw this being point behind him to the vast numbers of lined up Galaxies.
"These Galaxies before us each contain specific sacred Dao Fruits and Herbs, where their consumption allows you to increase the Comprehension and Assimilation of all Daos as you have just seen."
RUMBLE!
The hearts of the Hegemonies of the former Primordial Cosmos shook at the confirmation of such a reality, the gaze of Oathkeeper being immeasurable as he scrutinized Noah even more closely!
He saw as this being smiled with a sharp light crossing his eyes, his voice ringing out as the Galaxies behind them began to shine with the light of harvest.
"All those that are my Vassals...can partake and enjoy the trillions of sacred Dao Fruits and Herbs that will propel their respective Daos to the peak within a matter of hours, or just days if you are slow eaters!"
WAA!
Along with his voice, the appearance of glimmering Dao Fruits and herbs suffused with glorious light appeared all around them- Seeds of Time, Withering Tea Leaves, Summoning Peaches…it was myriad of exquisite Fruits and Herbs capable of ridiculous features appearing en masse.
At such a scene and Noah's grand and authoritative aura...the prideful Hegemonies that would have normally bowed to no one finally could bear it no longer.
The Great Old Nazzagath was the first as this Chthonian came forward with a myriad of emotions, his deep voice ringing out.
"I've been trying to figure you out for the last few days...but you are still a mystery to me! Yet, your methods are undeniable as they are enough for this old man to bow and say...I pledge Fealty to the Antiquity of Mana!"
THRUM!
The Chthonian bowed down as a second later, a grand light began to shine over him, the others watching this scene as their eyes flashed powerfully, nearly all of them calling out towards Noah at this moment.
"I pledge Fealty to the Antiquity of Mana…!"
Fealty by powerful existences Noah would have looked up to just weeks ago rained down, an overabundance of Marks of Antiquity in the tens of Billions descending down onto him due to the power and influence these beings held all being brought under him.
After this glorious process was done, Noah nodded as he gazed at his people first. Barbatos, Valentina, Kazuhiko...all of those in the front were the first to get the signal.
"Go ahead and enjoy the vast numbers of Dao Fruits and Herbs. We have to get you guys to achieve Hegemony and Antiquity soon!"
His words caused them to turn both happy and sad as they were reminded of the ever-expanding gap between them and Noah that never seemed to close, their figures eying the vast numbers of Dao Fruits and Herbs before them as they delved in!
With this taken care of, Noah gave them the time to get stronger as he himself...he had to go and explore the newly opened path with the full Assimilation of Ruination and Primordial Daos.
SHAA!
His figure disappeared seamlessly from the Novus Universe as his main body reappeared not within the Infinite Cosmos, but the Ruination Realm where his Primordial Ruination Clone had been staying these past few days to continue absorbing a myriad of Cores and the base Ruination Essence to forge more Universes.
With the 1000:1 Dilation, Noah was able to watch a new Universe fully form within his Origin every single day as currently...he held 12 Splendiferous Universes and 1 normal one!
His advancements weren't small, especially with the 300,000% Increase in Realm Advancement that the Primordial Ruination Clone held. Now, his main body had also appeared here to properly look at what he could do to deconstruct and reconstruct Daos.
The test for now was...the completely assimilated Lesser Dao of Withering!
Like all fully assimilated Lesser Daos, this Dao granted 5,000% Increased Damage, with fully assimilated Grand Daos giving 10,000% Increased Damage on top of their own unique boosts, and as just seen with Ruination and Primordial- Cosmic Daos granted +100,000% in Increased Damage among other boosts.
As Noah looked at the shocking effects of forming the so called Runic Dao Lines from the deconstruction and reconstruction of Daos, he didn't proceed in haste as before he began, he spoke lightly while looking at the overabundant light of Conquest overflowing through him.
"Let the light of conquest flow through the Lesser Dao of Withering."
RUMBLE!
Before his words even finished, a portion of the vibrant Light of Conquest disappeared as one of the daos Noah assimilated was enhanced, his Origin feeling the changes as they were displayed before his eyes soon after!
{Aura of the Assimilator of Withering} ENHANCED:: A passive aura that only appears around those who have fully comprehended and assimilated the Lesser Dao of Withering. It grants +10,000% Extra Damage and allows the attacks of the Controller of Withering to contain a unique corrosive essence that deconstructs and reduces the attacks, mana, and life force of the target until they become empty husks. The user can now even corrode time itself as they can briefly slow the progression time in a certain area.
With the light of conquest, it had a double fold increase as Noah nodded with bright eyes, turning his gaze towards his Origin as without looking back...he began to burn one the few Splendiferous Universes he held!
THRUM!
As the fuel required for this process, Noah felt a tinge of pain when he did it, but that was all! This was because his heart was shaking from the fact that if he successfully deconstructed and reconstructed just this single Lesser Dao enhanced by Conquest, the 100 fold increase of this process meant 1,000,000% in increased Damage- and that was just from this Lesser Dao alone.
If he also enhanced the Grand Daos from a 10,000% Increase in Damage to 20,000% and then deconstructed these daos, it would be a 100 fold increase to 2,000,000%!
Cosmic Daos were even more shocking as the number was terrifying to just think about.
THUMP!
What a pathway! What a boost from fully assimilating Ruination and the Primordial Dao! Noah...he had to start this process right away!
Chapter 1144 - Runic Dao Lines! II
Noah could feel the very beat of his heart as he opened up such a ridiculous pathway to increase his strength, the burning Splendiferous Universe being used as fuel as he felt all the accumulations of the Dao of Withering be ripped from his Origin, his very eyes watching as his essence of Ruination caused the formation of broken down and ancient-looking Runic Lines that vibrated with power.
Runic Dao Lines that represented the Lesser Dao of Withering!
As Ruination deconstructed, Primordial Essence weaved in to reconstruct- this whole process only being made possible from the burning Splendiferous Universe within Noah's Origin as this burning released a unique essence that wrapped around the Runic Dao Lines and weaved them together.
Noah watched as the resplendent Dao Galaxies of the Splendiferous Universe faded away, the entire Universe disappearing soon after as all this essence circled pristinely towards the unstable Runic Dao Lines!
Then the Primordial Essence wrapped around this instability as it weaved it all together into a wondrous construct.
Within seconds, the broken down Runic Dao Lines began to come together in a glorious manner as they shone with a myriad of colors, becoming tout and strong as they looked like multicolored lines of utter ancientness and regality!
Noah felt all the knowledge of Withering leaving his mind during this process as after he saw the glimmering Runic Dao Lines fully formed, he bellowed out powerfully.
"Brand them onto me!"
RUMBLE
A glorious light stretched out as for the first time, Runic Dao Lines were about to be branded onto Noah Osmont!
The multicolored lines flew towards him at a fast pace as they sank into his fist, the Runic Dao Lines rotating madly as they branded a glimmering crimson tattoo around his right fist that even went on to cover his palm.
The crimson tattoos shone with regality and authority, staying calmly over his skin as they made Noah look like an ancient tribal being! His eyes shone brightly as he sent essence into the tattoos instinctively, watching as they brightened up and began to revolve around his fist as they caused his body to release terrifying waves of power!
This was the? +1,000,000% boost of the Dao of Withering- all condensed to a few unique Runic Dao Lines that Noah could activate as all his comprehensions about this Dao were gone.
At the same time, something new appeared within his Status Panel!
[Runic Dao Lines Integration :: Withering(+1,000,000% Increased Damage….)]
A new section that would classify all the Daos that Noah deconstructed and reconstructed had appeared, Noah's elation only rising as he saw his fist that was currently glimmering with multiple colors as the activation of the tattoo that represented the Dao of Withering weaved over his skin colorfully as if it was alive.
The sense of strength he received was unbelievable as it made him want to deconstruct all of the Daos he had on him, but he knew that each one would cost him a Splendiferous Universe as the cost was very high!
"But...it is worth it!"
Yes! It was extremely worth it! As Noah thought of how to tackle the high cost of this stupendous process, he figured that he had to move his plans forward somewhat as he had to go searching for a method to grow his strength.
Truthfully, he was currently feeling ashamed at his rate of progress as 7 days had passed and he only had 14 Universes!
Well, there was one less Splendiferous Universe after he obtained the Withering Runic Dao Tattoo, and it made him feel a sense of urgency as he felt like he was stagnating in strength.
Of course if any Antiquities heard this, they would scream off in anger at such a thought as beings such as this spent hundreds of thousands of years if not millions to achieve the stage of Antiquity, even the pace of forming a Universe a day being something unbelievable as they would spend many years accumulating their power!
But Noah was different! He achieved Hegemony just days after he became a Monarch and Paragon, and he became an Antiquity just hours after he became a Hegemony.
His pace had been so fast that with him 'slowly' accumulating Universes daily, it seemed as if he was getting nowhere. And now with the introduction of Runic Dao Lines that needed Splendiferous Universes to bring to life...
It caused Noah to advance his plans forward as he would have to step into the Ruination Sea faster!
Out there were a vast number of possibilities, places where he could find other Cosmos or even the terrifying Primordial Beasts that could locate his Infinite Cosmos faster than he even expected.
He would have to prepare a great deal as his priority of things would have to be reshuffled, one of these being the designing of a Cosmic Dao!
With the fact that the Grand Dao of Conquest could effectively bring the increase of values of Lesser Daos and double them from 5,000% to 10,000%, and take Grand Dao boosts to 20,000%...Noah wanted this option to be applicable to Cosmic Daos!
For him to do this, he had to elevate the Dao of Conquest to the Cosmic Level.
He could then Empower Cosmic Daos and elevate their strength even further...it was a path of strength that made him expectant whenever he stood against an enemy of the same rank as him on just how much he could dominate them!
Along with all this...he had to bring the rest of his Cosmic Daos to gull Assimilation.
He had devoured enough Primordial Apples and Ruination Strawberries as he was fully assimilated for these two Daos, and now he needed to consume the sacred Dao Fruits and Herbs of the Annihilation, Chronos, and any Daos he would soon be picking up either from [Cosmic Dao Essence Integration and Emergence].
For the Daos he would be picking up...there in lay choices as he wanted the Dao of Reincarnation from Chronos who was still locked in a Temporal Prison, and then there was the mysterious Primordial that had descended onto the Infinite Cosmos and handed him a Primordial Heart!
Chapter 1145 - Deconstructing And Designing Daos! I
Chronos in the Temporal Prison had the Dao of Reincarnation, but Noah might have to put this aside for now as he was looking more towards the Primordial and what would happen when he used [Protagonist's Bookmark] on this existence!
The cool down had all but ended a day ago, and Noah was being extremely cautious as he was constantly trying to affirm things with Destiny and Fortune on whether he should even make this existence a target.
There were too many unknowns with them as Noah didn't even know their full power or what they could do...and this made him apprehensive to descend onto a soul of such a being without being found out!
"Well...you won't know until you try, hmm? Let's take things one by one. First is..."
He let out a devilish smile as he craned his neck, his eyes still stuck on the vibrant Runic Dao Tattoo that would light up with multiple colors whenever essence sunk into it.
He breathed out as he sat down in a meditative position, looking over at his Primordial Ruination Clone that was in the same position and had a faint outline of the Runic Dao Tattoo also appear on his hands!
Then, in front of both of his bodies- countless Dao Fruits and Herbs of Annihilation, Slaughter, Chronos...any and all Daos whether it be Grand or Cosmic that Noah didn't have full Assimilation of, their Dao Fruits appeared as The Sin of Gluttony was already ready to devour and grant Noah the Proficiency.
Under the Time Dilation, this would seem like it happened in no time as while doing this, Noah also gave the command to the Cosmic Core to do something drastic!
"The first Cosmic Dao...shall be Conquest. Elevate it from Grand to Cosmic!"
RUMBLE!
His thoughts reverberated into the Cosmic Core as it thrummed powerfully, Noah making his choice after much deliberation as the recent emergence of Runic Dao Lines and the shocking 100 fold increase in power they could provide being the decider to make this Dao into a Cosmic one.
"Also...start the design of the Grand Dao of Archetypes."
WAA!
Yet another command rained down from him as he tackled a myriad of things at once, assimilating Daos, bringing forth a Cosmic Dao, and now even designing a Grand Dao!
As for the newly mentioned Grand Dao of Archetypes? It was something that Noah was designing not for himself per se, but for his subordinates that continued to look up towards him and lag in strength.
His commands were heeded by the Cosmic Core as a radiance of immense proportions vibrated from it, droves of unique essence being utilized by this unique treasure as the first artificial Cosmic Dao was born in the Infinite Universe!
Alongside this Cosmic Dao was a Grand one as they were both completed around the same time, Noah's eyes flashing gloriously as he glanced at their details.
COSMIC [Dao of Conquest] :: A Cosmic Dao birthed by the Cosmic Core of Noah Osmont... Conquered lands will always allow the user to quintuple their power while fighting within them, while their strength will always be quadrupled when they are in the process of Conquest... Full Assimilation of Conquest grants the user the capability to Empower not just Absolute Skills, but any Lesser, Grand, and Cosmic Daos they Comprehend, along with their power being enhanced by ten times in Conquered Lands and enhanced by six times while in the process of Conquest…
Simple in its description, but ridiculous in its capabilities!
Tenfold increase in power in Conquered Lands! 6 times under the process of Conquest! But most of all, he could now Empower even Cosmic Daos.
He could do it...and so he found his testing target right away as he locked onto a particular Cosmic Dao that had just gotten assimilated seconds ago from him Devouring enormous amounts of its Dao Fruits- it was Annihilation!
The second Cosmic Dao he ever obtained, and his eyes now locked upon it as while he was carrying out multiple tasks at the same time, he voiced out lightly.
"Let the light of Conquest shine on Annihilation."
RUUMBLE!
A magisterial white light stretched from him as it even lit up the surrounding crimson sea. His eyes were tightly closed as he immersed himself in the feeling of power, noticing nearly one fourth of his remaining Light of Conquest getting sucked away as the Authority of the Assimilator of Annihilation was enhanced!
Just seconds prior, Noah saw that the base damage increase for Annihilation was +50,000%, vastly above and beyond the normal 5,000% for Lesser Daos and 10,000% for Grand Daos, but far below the Ruination and Primordial Daos that were sitting at the very top with +100,000%.
But now after its Enhancement…
{Authority of the Assimilator of the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation}ENHANCED: An authority that only appears around those who have fully comprehended and assimilated Annihilation.? It grants +100,000% Increased Annihilation Damage, +100,000% Increased AOE Damage, +100,000% Cast and Attack speed, and grants 50 Random Debuff Effects(Enfeeble, Slow, Impotent, Demoralized, Reduced Life Force….)
The Cosmic Dao that was a level lower than Ruination or Primordial Dao had actually been enhanced by Conquest that it actually reached the same level of boosts, and Noah wasted no time as he induced the movement of Ruination to actually start deconstructing this pristine Cosmic Dao, his eyes shining with a light of excitement as yet another Splendiferous Universe began to burn within his Origin!
He had already turned a Lesser Dao into a Runic Dao Tattoo, and wanted to see the stupendous effects of a Cosmic Dao going through the same thing.
THRUM!
His Origin trembled as the Assimilations of this Dao were pulled out, intense Runic Dao Lines beginning to form in front of him as they were much more pronounced and numerous than the ones for the Lesser Dao!
After the process of deconstruction, Primordial Essence came in as it put everything together, serene and majestic Dao Lines weaving before Noah's eyes in a matter of seconds as yet another Splendiferous Universe faded.
"Come!"
But the result of it was Noah bellowing out to the Runic Dao Lines as they shot forth towards him and sank into his right arm, a shocking primal tattoo beginning to form all the way from his wrist up to his shoulder!
The Runic Dao Lines of Withering formed into a Tattoo that covered Noah's fist and palm, but the numerous multicolored Dao Lines of Annihilation actually covered his entire arm as they pulsed with shocking power.
When he placed his vast essence into his arm now…
BZZZT!
It shone with glorious multicolored splendor as the Runic Dao Tattoos weaved magisterially, releasing shocking waves of power that even caused the surrounding ruination sea to tremble!
Chapter 1146 - Deconstructing And Designing Daos! II
In the Ruination Realm, a stupendous existence watched his right-hand glow magisterially with multiple colors, the Runic Dao Tattoos moving with purpose and power from the tip of his fingers all the way to his shoulders.
His gaze...was absent minded as he stared blankly in space at a set of words that quantified what the shimmering lines all over his hand meant.
[Runic Dao Lines Integration :: Withering (+1,000,000% Increased Damage….), Annihilation(+10,000,000% Increased Annihilation Damage, +10,000,000% Increased AOE Damage, +10,000,000% Cast and Attack speed, and grants 5000 Random Debuff Effects to enemies (Enfeeble, Slow, Impotent, Demoralized, Reduced Life Force….)]
"..."
Speechless!
Noah was genuinely speechless.
He stared at the numbers before him again and again, wanting to make sure that he wasn't seeing something wrong and that this reality was actually true!
A Lesser Dao with the 100 fold increase granted a 1 million percent increase in Damage among other things, but a Cosmic Dao was a 10 Million percent increase as such a numerical value in relation to pure power was purely ludicrous.
This wasn't to mention the fucking cast and Attack speed that were also enhanced by 10 million percent along with AOE Damage! If Noah cast [Fireball] right now, would it not be akin to him releasing the fastest bullets that had temperatures more immense than even the Cores of Galaxies?
The numbers of the boosts were just so immensely ridiculous that when Noah realistically and logically put things into account, he felt like it was a feasibility for him to stand against someone that had forged thousands of Universes...or even possibly a Cosmos!
At this moment though, this was all conjecture with no truth in it. If the enemy was like him and had completely assimilated Ruination and the Primordial Dao, then he fully expected them to be monsters that even he had to stay away from.
But if he met an existence at the Cosmic Level but they didn't have the capability to form Runic Dao Lines…
It was a thought that caused Noah's mind to buzz with activity as he reluctantly pulled his gaze away from his glimmering right hand that swirled with glorious ancient tattoos and the words on the Stat panel attached to it!
His gaze then went towards the other accomplishment he made while he was still Devouring Dao Fruits- the design of the Grand Dao of Archetypes.
This Dao was tailored more towards his subordinates and those closest to him in efforts to raise their power, with its effects being unique to say the least as it would change the power structure of the Infinite Cosmos!
What was the archetype? One could think of it like a prototype or a model, or a stereotype embodiment of a certain thing.
For Noah's Grand Dao of Archetypes, it related more to the "Classes" or "Roles" that people could choose, Noah taking inferences from his time spent gaming in his homeworld to bring this Dao to fruition!
GRAND [Dao of Archetypes] :: A Grand Dao birthed by the Cosmic Core of Noah Osmont. As the Dao Architect, Noah Osmont can comprehend and assimilate the Dao at 10 times the normal speed. The Dao of Archetypes allows 500 Vassals of the Tyrannical Emperor to choose a Specific Archetype(Class or Role) that stems from one of the Skill Trees that the Emperor controls. The Selection of an Archetype is permanent as it cannot be changed,? the existences that select their Archetype having it branded to their very Origins and soul as they cannot take any other path besides this. The power of the Archetype is dependent on what level the Skill Tree it stems from is, with Skill Trees at the Universal Filament Realm granting Vassals the strength of the Universal Realm. The power given will always be a level lower, where if the Skill Tree is advanced to the Cosmic Level, the Archetypes stemming from these Skill Trees will allow the display of power at the Universal Filament Realm. Full Assimilation of the Dao of Archetypes allows a Vassal to choose a second Archetype, and even one that stems from an Absolute Skill Tree of the Tyrannical Emperor. Currently available Archetypes to select: Necromancer( Arch Lich Ra'zan), Terror (Madness of Old, Cthulhu), Blood Ruler(Blood Lord), Ultimate Farmer( Versatile Farmer), Primal Tree (Primeval Tree of Old, Yggdrasil), Incandescent Guardian(Fate's Guardian), Summoner(Animus Summoner Trainer), Temporal Lord(Wielder of Chronos), Annihilator(Bearer of Annihilation)...
…!
Noah stared at this expertly designed Grand Dao as beams of light shot forth from his eyes, nodding to himself on how he had just outdone himself on this one!
Those closest to him were always levels behind no matter what they did, but this could now be changed as with the Dao of Archetype, they could select a Class that stemmed from his Skill Trees that when he brought all of them up to the Universal Filament Realm, it would allow them all to display battle power at the Universal Realm!
Even though they were still a level behind, this was still a huge leap in power that other beings would normally not even be able to dream of.
To make this Dao actually possible at the level of a Grand one, Noah had to limit it to 500 beings, and they had to be Vassals under him that he could select himself to grant them the right to choose Classes.
If this Dao were to touch the level of a Cosmic Dao, the number of beings applicable could be expanded as the power the Archetypes would be able to display most likely would get enhanced, but Noah was entirely sure it wouldn't be able to provide 100% power at the same level as the skill Trees...unless this Dao was elevated to the same ranks as Ruination and the Primordial Dao!
But with its creation, he effectively had 500 beings that he could now elevate to the Realm of Hegemonies.
More Hegemonies than even those that had been in the Primordial Cosmos!
Chapter 1147 - Deconstructing And Designing Daos! III
The Dao of Archetypes of arguable one of the most prized Daos Noah had made, the past Dao of Conquest that was already elevated to a Cosmic Dao being the only thing ranking higher at this moment based on usage and versatility, with Noah even tying this Dao to be on the same rank as Fealty that allowed him to amass Marks of Antiquity quickly.
Which expert could say they could effectively produce 500 Hegemonies with a wave of their hands?! Now, Noah was about to do just this as he finished devouring a myriad of Dao Fruits, his mind currently buzzing with droves of Information after he gained the full Assimilation of Chronos from Devouring countless [Seeds of Time].
All he had to do now was to pick up more Cosmic Daos through the Cosmic Dao Essence Integration and Emergence ability, or be lucky enough to pick up a Cosmic Dao from the millions of Dao Fruits he would consume in the near future!
He would then turn these Daos into Runic Dao Lines as all of his Assimilations about them would be permanently gone, with Noah not being able to comprehend or assimilate these Daos ever again.
"Ah…"
Noah rose up with a happy smile as he saw his vast advancements, a few more things remaining on his to do list before he began moving across the Ruination Seas.
His bright eyes glistened ever brighter as he sent a message to a few specific beings with the information on the Dao of Archetypes, and what the possibilities there were for them to choose from as at the same time, Noah was spending a myriad of Skill points to elevate any Skill Trees that were low leveled to the rank of Universal Filament!
This moment was the dawn of an Era in the Infinite Cosmos that would be defined by a few hundred specific Vassals that outshine the rest, these Vassals getting the chance to major in a specific Class that stemmed from a Skill Tree of the Antiquity of Mana!
"He fucking didn't…!"
Kazuhiko couldn't help but curse incredulously as to what seemed like just a minute or two having passed after Noah left the Novus Universe and they began to enjoy the Dao Fruits, he sent them a message about a newly birthed Dao of Archetypes.
The surprise was of course due to the time Dilation of the Ruination Realm, causing his subordinates to shake their heads at his efficiency as information of this Dao and all the choices they would have flowed into the mind of Kazuhiko and a few other selected beings.
"He really made Classes...he wants to turn this already crazy reality into something akin to a game, haha!"
Kazuhiko was shaking his head with a huge smile as he sifted through the boundless information flowing in, Valentina and others also having their faces changing at this newly appearing concept as they all found themselves focusing on it entirely.
"Necromancer…" Barbatos's eyes shone as her blessed chest heaved, looking at the Archetype that stemmed from the Arch Lich Ra'zan that Noah had now raised to the Universal Filament Realm!
The latest mini skill tree to have been added that brought the Arch Lich skill tree to the Universal Filament Realm was titled [Universal Lich Lord], with it having another set of 4 abilities as always that were brand new, similar to the mini skill Trees of [Galactic Nether Emperor] and [Tyrannical Lich Emperor] that were contained in the Arch Lich Ra'zan skill tree.
If Barbatos were to select the Necromancer Archetype that stemmed from this Skill Tree, she would gain the ability to use all the skills contained within such as [Summon Lich Emperors] or [Necrotic Ring of Death], and all the way down to [Delay Death] and [No Man's Land] that were one of the few skills from the first stages of the Arch Lich Ra'zan skill tree!
She would get all of this and be able to display battle power at the Universal Realm- as a Hegemony!
"Haha!"
Barbatos couldn't help but let out a peal of chilling laughter as she felt like Noah deserved a little something extra later on tonight.
She then acted resolutely as she was the first existence to select the first ever Archetype within the Infinite Cosmos!
She didn't bother to check the other Classes like the Temporal Lord or Terror or even Annihilator that many would be choosing, and she followed her heart as she was already bound to death, choosing the class of a Necromancer.
THRUM!
An oppressive black light shone with Barbatos at the center, her aura gradually changing as the dense black light condensed on her Origin, something becoming inexplicably branded onto her as along with this, a pristine mark of a skull appeared on her palm!
Barbatos gazed at this mark with shining eyes as she felt the flow of information of a myriad of new abilities she could use...as well as the power she currently released that was irrevocably at the realm of a Hegemony.
…!
The Great Old Nazzagath and other newly added Vassals looked at this scene in a stupor, Noah having only granted the right to choose an Archetype to the closest beings from his Original Universe first- so these Hegemonies from the Primordial Cosmos only saw as out of nowhere, a woman at the level of a Paragon began relaxing powerful waves of power that seemed stronger than most Hegemonies!
When they glanced at her chest, aside from its huge blessings, they could still see that her Origin had not formed into a Universe as it was still a manifested galactic filament.
So what…
RUMBLE
Before their thoughts even finished yet another aura extremely similar to this one rose up, this time stemming from the figure of Kazuhiko as he was laughing madly while the essence of Chronos swirled around him gloriously!
Those selecting the Archetypes that utilized Cosmic Daos didn't mean they would be able to comprehend such Daos right away, and they were only granted access to unconsciously utilize it from the Tyrannical Emperor they pledged Fealty to.
So Kazuhiko had chosen the class of a Temporal Lord as his Archetype, and shocking auras similar to his began to rise from here on out as it only caused the Hegemonies of the Primordial Cosmos to nearly lose their minds at what was happening.
Not too far away from Kazuhiko, the cry of an Emperor of a race rang out clearly as the beak of a certain being rose towards the boundless space.
"RAA! RAA! RAA!"
The cry rang out loud three times, a golden glow being seen cascading down on the Emperor Penguin as this leading Spiritual Beast chose Incandescence Guardian for his Archetype, more than likely due to it causing him to shine an even greater luster of gold than anything else as the essence of Fate swirled around its body!
Such shocking scenes began to unfold fully as the man causing all of it was detached from it, currently still in the Ruination Realm as he finished his own preparation and was about to face an ordeal of sneaking into the soul of a Primordial!
Chapter 1148 - Bookmark A Primordial!
As Valentina saw the scenes of shocking auras of Hegemonies rising from all those around her, she couldn't help but shake her head incredulously as from the information she received, she uttered out slowly in a disbelieving tone.
"I...I choose the archetype of Summoner."
As the one to have created the Lesser Dao of Summoning, she had to choose this Class as she felt like she had begun a project with all her hard work, and yet someone else had taken the reigns and continued to work on it as she barely recognized all the things that could be done with this aspect of Summoning!
THRUM!
Essence rained down wildly again as the aura Valentina released expanded even further, those around her experiencing this same phenomenon as Elena had her curvaceous figure shaking after she chose the Archetype of Blood Ruler, Steel Mikahil's body also shining nearby as he chose the archetype of Incandescent Guardian.
The birth of the Generals that would move under the command of the Antiquity of Mana gradually formed like this, with Noah finishing his selection of who the 500 would be as time passed until this cap was reached.
In the future...he could raise the limit of 500 if he ever made this Grand Dao into a Cosmic one as only time would tell!
The glorious lights continued to shine from the bodies of existences that were close to Noah as Oathkeeper and the original inhabitants of the Primordial Cosmos watched on in a stupor, our focus shifting from these beings and back to Noah who was about to attempt something somewhat dangerous.
He had taken care of many of the things he wanted to do with designing of daos and even exploring the Runic Dao Lines, stopping at deconstructing Annihilation for now as he didn't want to entirely finish his Splendiferous Universes just yet.
What he wanted to do now was utilize Protagonist's Bookmark on the terrifying Primordial that had descended and granted him a Primordial Heart.
In the Ruination Realm.
Noah was situated in a meditative position as he breathed out slowly, an iridescent golden glow crossing through his eyes as he confirmed the tides of destiny while listening to his fortune.
If he wasn't somewhat confident after discerning Destiny and Fortune the past few days, he wouldn't attempt what he was about to attempt! But after confirming multiple times, his eyes shine with a light of conviction as he voiced out.
"[Protagonist's Bookmark]."
RUMBLE!
A unique essence erupted from deep within him and bloomed outwards. It focused on a portion of his soul as it took a chunk and began shooting away from his body, entering the folds of space of the Ruination Realm as this piece of soul instantly flashed into the Infinite Cosmos and then began to shoot out into the vast Ruination Sea right after!
At speeds even Noah wouldn't normally be able to achieve, the small portion of his soul crossed the Ruination Sea as Noah had chosen his target to be a certain figure he met not too long ago.
The journey this time was vast as the target was a great distance away, the unique essence of the Protagonist Trait carrying Noah's soul across the crimson shimmering Ruination Sea for the next few hours!
Across the vast Ruination Sea.
With the myriad of Cosmos dwelling within the crimson seas, there were a few that were more distinct than others, with some holding immense importance as they held the most unique beings within them!
One such being was an existence mentioned not too long ago- the existence that was ripping apart a Grand Primordial Beast barehanded as his body shone with a glimmer of multicolored Runic Dao Lines that formed into ancient tattoos all over him.
His entire body was etched throughout as he seemed to have no gaps left, this being more pronounced at this moment in time as his essence hands activated them to shine their rainbow colored lights.
The figure of this being with dark hair draping over his shoulders was currently floating in the Ruination Sea as he looked a few thousand light years below him, a wild and ancient look being perceived in his eyes as his exquisitely defined muscular body could be seen even from the robe he wore!
His gaze was glancing down towards a shocking scene...it was the scene of multiple Cosmos floating peacefully in the Ruination Sea.
"It is an accomplishment you should be proud of, Little Aegon."
…!
To his side, a veiled figure dressed in full white spoke out as she also gazed at the vast number of Cosmos below them.
This was the target of Noah's Protagonist's Bookmark, and after crossing the vast Ruination Seas for the past hours, Noah's soul coincidentally arrived above her veiled figure and sank into her head silently!
THRUM!
"Hmm?"
Towards this, something extremely shocking occurred as the veiled figure herself felt nothing, but the man beside her actually turned and began to look around with a sharp gaze!
Not the Primordial, but the existence at the Cosmic Realm beside her!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this change, the Primordial asked quizzically as the exquisitely defined handsome face of Aegon replied with a voice that dripped of majesty and regality soon after.
"I felt like there was another presence near us for a second there."
"Hmm? Near us? Little Aegon, who do you think would be bold enough to come in front of the most powerful existence across these vast seas….and when a Primordial is nearby as well? Take the compliment, you should be proud of the Empire you have created- this place being a bastion that no Primordial Beasts would be able to take down with you in the lead."
RUMBLE!
Their conversation resumed as it was while at the same time, Noah's portion of soul and consciousness sank into the Primordial as he glanced towards the Dark-haired man in shock!
It wasn't the Primordial that had sensed anything off, but it was instead this man whose body was filled with Runic Dao Tattoos- this being that should not be at the same level as a Primordial!
How was this possible?! Just who was this existence besides the Primordial?!
Chapter 1149 - A ! I
As much as Noah wanted to understand the full situation, he had very limited time of less than a minute to scour the Origin and soul of a Primordial and leave before anything drastic happened.
The portion of his soul had entered silently as Noah didn't make any movements in the first second, only observing the things he might be able to pull from this existence as when he looked at what could be considered her Origin and Soul...he was gobsmacked at the sheer grandeur of it all as he saw an endless pristine white river!
A river that endlessly stretched forth in two directions, and Noah could see many glimmering lines and clusters of lights within it that represented Laws, Daos, Memories, and many more things.
It seemed oppressive to stare at it all at once as Noah could actually pick out the essence of Ruination from a crimson colored line, and he could see the essence of the Primordial Daos on a prominent white line right next to it.
But the more incredulous thing to see was that near these lines that represented Ruination and the Primordial Dao...there were multiple other lines and clusters of light that seemed to shine with just as much importance!
This caused Noah's soul to tremble as he actually understood that there were things at the same level of Ruination and the Primordial Dao from the soul of this Primordial! What were they? And the more important question was...could he obtain them?!
THRUM!
His soul shone with a golden glimmer as he couldn't find any information on what he was looking at, only being able to identify Primordial and Ruination Daos because he was familiar with them.
Uniquely...this particular Protagonist's Bookmark was like he was blind and could only choose randomly from what he could see.
The Primordial was just that powerful that even now Noah could not obtain information from her!
For him to grasp anything from her...he had to choose one of the wondrously shimmering lines or clusters of light, and he had to be lucky enough that whatever he chose was something worth this great risk.
As a millisecond passed, Noah made his decision as he glanced from the lines that represented The Primordial and? Ruination Daos, glancing at nearby lines that were just as vibrant or even more lustrous!
He chose a particularly vibrant and large glimmering line that seemed to stand out among all the others around, this line stretching along the endless pristine river that was this being's soul. With his intention made, Noah's soul moved less than a second after he entered as he grasped onto a stout line deep in the soul of a Primordial!
To understand what was about to happen next, one had to recall what exactly Protagonist's Bookmark entailed.
[Protagonist's Bookmark] ::...To those Bookmarked, the Protagonist can descend onto their body without their knowledge as he becomes able to assimilate into them for a period of 1 minute. In this period of time, the Protagonist can choose to focus on a specific area such as Experiences, Laws, Realm Progression, Daos...everything that the bookmarked character has accomplished as the Protagonist can rapidly raise their law progression or learn a new law, gains years of experience, enhance their understandings of Realms, enhance their understanding of a current Dao, or step on the path of a brand new Dao that the bookmarked character is adept on...
Experiences, Laws, Realm Progression, Daos...everything that the bookmarked character has accomplished. This was the crucial part!
What Noah had chosen to obtain...might not even be a Dao as it could have been memories or knowledge of faster Realm Progression, or maybe something else entirely!
Noah didn't know what his soul had attached into before he did, but when he locked onto it as he began to suck in its knowledge….
BOOOOM!
He felt like an explosion had gone off deep in his mind.
It felt too high and sacred...like it was something he shouldn't have been touching at all!
Droves of information rushed into his mind as he could barely pay attention to the conversation occurring outside, the voice of the Primordial continuing to ring out.
"Across these vast Ruination Sea, as long as this bastion that you have created doesn't fall...this reality will remain intact. All you have to do now is gain the battle power to seamlessly stand against Cosmic Primordial Beasts, and you will be set."
The words of the Primordial caused the devilishly handsome figure of Aegon to nod, his deep and dark eyes seemingly holding immeasurable weight within them as he spoke out while still glancing at the Cosmos below him.
"I will not be alone. There are trusted existences below me that want the same thing…"
The veiled Primordial nodded at his words as she was about to continue, when her expression below the veil changed to confusion at this moment as she felt something she couldn't quite put her finger on!
At this same time, Noah's main body in the far away Infinite Cosmos trembled as his seas of Fortune and Destiny churned, his mind being sent horrendous danger signals just 30 seconds after he had begun taking in whatever knowledge he had attached himself to in the soul of the Primordial.
These danger signals all told him to leave within the next few seconds, or Calamity of untold proportions would descend!
Noah trusted his instincts as with but a command, the portion of his soul that was used for Protagonist's Bookmark unwillingly detached from the soul of the Primordial and began to run away at speeds even faster than when it had been searching for this existence.
Around this same time, the confusion on the hidden face of the Primordial changed as the Ruination Sea began to shake, a cold voice emanating from her that caused the very Ruination Seas to churn!
"Who?!"
RUMBLE!
The Primordial raised her head as she actually felt a consciousness around them, but it seemed the glorious and regal being beside her moved even faster as his hair danced wildly, his hand reaching out towards a certain direction as his face was stern.
This direction...was where Noah's small portion of soul had begun to escape to!
Time was seemingly moving in slow motion at this moment, Noah's soul trembling as he entrenched the expression of a majestic being whose body had begun to light up with numerous Runic Dao Lines, his hand outstretched as it was trying to clasp onto and break his soul.
Lucky for him...he had trusted his senses and left when he did as this outstretched hand barely missed him, his figure disappearing into the folds of Ruination as the task of returning his small portion of a soul to his main body was something that could be done in a blink!
"Preposterous!"
RUMBLE
Noah could only hear a wrathful bellow ring out as he was already gone, the heart on his main body beating wildly as he could already see what his soul had obtained within those mere 30 seconds.
It wasn't a law or any type of Dao, nor was it knowledge or experience from the Primordial!
It was something so glorious that Noah could not contain himself when he received it, something that was termed….Nomological Edict of Samsara .
A Nomological Edict of Samsara!
Chapter 1150 - A ! II
"Preposterous!"
THRUM!
The bellow from Primordial caused everything in the nearby hundreds of thousands of light years to freeze, but the consciousness that had been snooping around was already gone as the glimmering body of Aegon could be seen where the culprit disappeared.
His hand was outstretched towards a certain direction as he voiced out slowly.
"It is gone."
…!
A consciousness had actually been snooping near them without their knowledge, and it had been able to escape without being caught!
WAA!
The magisterial air around the Primordial only became more intense, the pressure even causing the body of Aegon to vibrate as his Runic Dao Lines all across his figure shone with increasing intensity.
"It is gone."
He repeated again lightly as his long dark hair danced wildly, his sculpted figure looking extremely dominating as the heavy pressure in the surroundings reduced at this moment, the Primordial turning to glance towards him as she spoke coldly.
"Nothing is ever gone. Whatever was bold enough to come here...whether it is the consciousness of a Primordial Beast or an existence within this reality- they can forget getting off lightly!"
…!
The voice of the Primordial was filled with majesty and confidence, the veiled figure within continuing to speak as her body began to light up with a myriad of colors.
"Even if they are gone at this moment, I can always go back to when they were here and grasp their traces…"
As she finished these words, she seemed ready for something as she called out with utter regality in the next moment!
"Nomological Edict of…"
RUMBLE!
As a Primordial made a move in a far away location, Noah's small portion of soul was called back at a nigh instantaneous speed as it very quickly sank back into his Origin, beginning to fully grant him everything it had obtained.
And the content it had obtained...was truly something top stupendous!
Not a law or Dao...but something that was actually a fusion of a myriad of laws and Daos- a Nomological Edict!
Such a thing caused Noah's heart to beat wildly as he got a look at the tip of the iceberg of the strength of Primordials.
He didn't see any Runic Dao Lines on her body, but he did see an overabundance of them on an existence that was near her!
From their conversation, he picked up the name Aegon as he was very quickly reminded of Eckert- the Antiquity that shared his name and mentioned the possibility of Champions being groomed by Primordials in the vast realities out there.
Noah Eckert- the Great Usurper, had actually told Noah he was likely to be a champion based on the treatment he had just begun to receive, but as Noah saw the magisterial figure of Aegon right beside the Primordial and with his body filled with countless Runic Dao Tattoos swirling all over his body, he thought that this being looked like much more of a champion!
The sense of power between these two beings alone was horrendous as Noah didn't know if the current power he held was even a decimal percentage of theirs.
He had just seen the stupendous effects of Runic Dao Lines as the sheer percentages alone made him stupefied, but the being he saw had countless of such Dao Lines as it represented the Deconstruction and reconstruction of too many Daos!
And then...there was the Nomological Edict.
Samsara!
This was something even more sacred and ridiculous than the Deconstruction and reconstruction of Daos, and Noah could say this with confidence as he gained the knowledge his soul had obtained and changes began to occur within his very Origin.
Grand changes of laws and Daos...and even the eruption of new Daos he hadn't comprehended before!
He was most regretful that he was only capable of using 30 seconds of the Protagonist's Bookmark for this concept of a Nomological Edict, the full knowledge he now received telling him that due to this, he had only traversed 10% in this Nomological Edict.
But what did 10 entail? What did the Edict itself entail?!
The answer was right before Noah's eyes as he saw a brand new set of words appear in his Stat panel and before his eyes.
Nomological Edict of Samsara :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos. A Nomological Edict cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of Samsara is born from the combination of the Cosmic Daos of Reincarnation, Chronos, and Extinction, along with the Grand Dao of Destiny and laws of Fate, Life, Death, and Chaos. The seamless mixture of all these laws and Daos makes it possible for Samsara to come to fruition. When these Daos and Laws are fully fused together into a single thing, one achieves the full Edict of Samsara. With this Edict, an existence becomes capable of binding their soul to their reality, capable of traversing its different time points as they wish without creating Miniature Branching Realities, even in the face of death. With very few exceptions dealing with the involvement of other Edicts- as long as their reality remains, their soul will never perish. The traversal of time can only be done backwards, with beings comprehending Samsara being capable of jumping forward to the time point they already experienced before, but not to a future time point they never experienced. Traversing to the past has a great cost in mana, and it covers the return to the future point that the Edict was initially used at as the return costs no mana. Along with this, any Nomological Edict grants its user a smoother pathway towards ●●●●●●●, granting them an increase in the speed of their Realm Progression by +1,000,000%, an increase of +10,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 10% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of Samsara : 10%
This was a Nomological Edict of Samsara! It was the combination of a myriad of Daos and Laws as there were two in particular that Noah had not even come in contact with before!
Yet at this moment…
THRUM!
The eruption of the essence of Reincarnation and Extinction bloomed from within his Origin.
They were contained in the Nomological Edict, and now that Noah obtained it...he also obtained all the Daos within it!
