Chapter 1331 - The Verdict Of The Champion! II
After the chaos and destruction, it wasn't those at the very top who were at most times facing the most pain…but it was the common existences in the lower rungs of power!
Across the Cosmic Battlefield where the battles had erupted out, bodies of millions of Paragons and Hegemonies, and thousands of Antiquities were strewn across the shattered boundaries of galaxies and Universes- these beings having defended their Bastion of Reality valiantly against the wave of Primordial Beasts that had erupted out.
Most of them stemmed from the House of Springforge or Havenbreaker, Halcyon and Springforge herself looking at these bloody scenes with grim eyes as even with all their power, they couldn't control the whole battlefield and save every single existence in the middle of deadly battles even if they had their own Edicts!
But this was the result. The Primordial Empire was left fractured as a crimson wound of waves of Ruination Essence covered a portion of it from all the Cosmos stolen by a past Family Head and the Primordial Beasts behind him. And to top it all off….
THRUM!
The enraged aura of a certain being that had stopped all but 298 Cosmos out of the 1,000 from being taken away seemed utterly enraged at this moment as with Stormdust and all his forces gone, there was only a single player that was involved in all this who currently still remained nonchalant in the center of the Cosmic Battlefield!
Halcyon's eyes fluttered with a gold light as the essence of Kairos wrapped around her, her heart unwavering as she watched the figure of her own Father materialize within the center of the Cosmic Battlefield and appear before the grandly situated being upon his Throne of Tyranny.
"This…" Springforge's voice sprang out grimly beside Halcyon as she adopted a firm expression, the essence of Amelioration that was washing down and healing Daolords and Antiquities from her house stopping momentarily, her figure shooting towards the same direction!
In another direction, the Defenders of Reality adorned in golden armor from the House of Havenbreaker watched this unfolding scene as from them, the drop dead gorgeous figure of Havenbreaker herself also made her way to the center of the Cosmos Battlefield.
Halcyon watched all of these scenes as with the Edict of Kairos, her eyes glimmered gold as she saw many more things than others!
'Must it really follow this path?' Her thoughts were difficult to discern as her eyes became clear, her body becoming wrapped with colorful light as she was the third being courageous enough to go towards the center of the Cosmic Battlefield at this moment.
There, waves of purple and gold washed off of the Throne of Tyranny as the Ephemeral Mirage of the Primordial King Swords shone with a murderous light, a figure adorned fully in the Quasi-Cosmic Treasure Primordial King Set situated calmly on this throne as he looked like a king from ancient times!
Yet the being that materialized before his eyes did not face any losses in terms of demeanor as with the vibrant Cosmos on his chest that still shone with majesty- he exceeded all others in the Primordial Empire in terms of grandeur!
The Champion of Reality. Aegon the Conqueror…this being's chest was still bare as scintillating pants were the only thing on his body, Runic Dao Lines uniquely dancing on his body as if they were alive as his dark hair dropped over his shoulders gloriously.
Such a being gazed at Noah with eyes shining with intense light, his voice echoing out calmly as the anger within it was still displayed clearly!
"You knew about Stormdust's schemes…and you chose to make a show of it as you were one of the pieces that caused all of this."
WAA!
A voice tinged with authority and might echoed out, the surroundings becoming oppressive as an immense aura of a being in the Cosmic Realm fully descended down!
His mere presence held the demeanor of an Emperor as his cold eyes left Noah who looked towards him calmly, overlooking the destruction in the Cosmic Battlefield and the missing Cosmos in one direction as he continued.
"Everything that I have done since the creation of the Primordial Empire has been for the sake of protecting Reality. It didn't matter to me who rose up in strength and power…as long as they were forces that could be used to fight against Primordial Beasts!"
WAA!
His gaze caused the myriad of Defender of the Bastion of Reality to stand ever straighter and with dignity as he continued, his eyes locking onto the figures of Springforge, Havenbreaker, and Halcyon coming towards this direction.
"This…is the only reason that you are not dead at this moment. Why after your stunt that had contributed to all this, your Origin and soul hasn't shattered!"
RUMBLE!
The Cosmic Battlefield felt like it had frozen over with these words echoing out, others feeling their Origins shake as Aegon's words continued!
"For the sake of the Protection of Reality…that is why you are still here. It didn't matter to me that you appeared in my Empire. It didn't matter that you hold an Edict that you hide. You could have risen in rank and even elevated yourself to the position of a Family Head and I wouldn't have cared! But what I do care about…is your impudence and disregard of my authority."
…!
With a sharp gaze, his eyes settled back on the enthroned being as he met calm and serene eyes that caused the air to turn even colder.
"This…I cannot stand for. But I will also not allow myself to cut down a being capable of forging an Edict by himself and even forge Quasi-Cosmic Treasures en masse as such strength is capable of protecting this Reality. So…you shall simply not be allowed to reside in my Empire."
…!
"Aegon-" Off to the side, Springforge had risen up in shock as she voiced out, but she was cut off as Aegon's aura surpassed everything in the surroundings, not even this Family Head being capable of exceeding it as she was brought to a halt!
"You most likely oversee your home Cosmos or multiple outside of this Empire. Go back and flaunt your authority there. Since you can stand against Primordial Beasts, it means the safety of Reality will be that much more secure! This…is my magnanimous ruling even with your part to play in all this chaos today…"
Ah!
With a glow of glory, the Champion of Reality laid down his verdict!
Chapter 1332 - The Verdict Of The Champion! III
Aegon's body gave off palpable waves of power as he seemed like an ancient saint passing down judgment, nearly every being gazing towards him in awe as even though Noah was the one sitting lavishly on a throne, the Great Conqueror was the only one that the powerful inhabitants all around the Cosmic Battlefield could see as a Ruler in their eyes!
Noah gazed at the being before him with calm and curious eyes as he took in his words.
What he stood for was the protection of Reality as he did everything with this basis. He didn't attack him because he was someone that could withstand Primordial Beasts, so he elevated the protection of their Reality as this matched with Aegon's views!
Such a view was very contrasting to what Halcyon had spoken about, with Noah curious as to how things would play out along the line.
'How do you come to be the one trying to exterminate Reality? How will you make such a hard shift to the opposite direction of your mission?'
Such a question rose in Noah's mind as while he had many possibilities for what would occur, he didn't know of which path everything would settle in as he gazed at this Champion of Reality before him.
After that whole speech from Aegon, they all watched as Noah sat straight upon the Throne of Tyranny and raised his head as with shining eyes, he spoke.
And…it wasn't something that those watching expected!
"The rewards of the Writ of Challenge…how exactly will these be handled now?"
…!
Noah had a deep smile hidden behind his Ephemeral Helm as his eyes flashed with a sharp light. The Cosmos that were up for grabs for the Writ of Challenge that started it all! The Primordial Light of Authority had not returned to Noah after the battle, nor had the Light of Authority that Stormdust released returned to him!
Both of these things remained floating and intermixed with each other at the peak center of the Cosmic Battlefield due to the command of nobody but Aegon.
"..."
Silence descended across the Cosmic Battlefield.
Others were worried just how this would play out, whether a powerful combatant would be wiped out by the Great Conqueror or spared, and yet this being…he was so bold to bring up the Writ of Challenge and the 1000 Cosmos owed to him!
THRUM!
The body of Aegon released bursts of light that caused the very surrounding Reality to tremble. His sharp eyes seemed to be ready to break his convictions when this being before him still continued to be unruly and not respect his authority!
"AEGON!" From afar, Springforge gritted her teeth as her essence of Amelioration wrapped around her body, forcefully edging close to the figures of the two beings as she floated before Aegon with Noah protected behind her back!
"This must stop…we all knew about Stormdust and did nothing. Osmont here was wise enough to take the steps to oust him as now, we can forge out Primordial Empire to be stronger than ever! We can all just-"
"You were his helper?"
WAA!
Aegon's eyes flashed sharply as he cut off Springforge's words while gazing at her calmly.
Towards his questioning gaze and Springforge who had begun to glare at him angrily, another sonorous voice rang out as another being came into the picture to stand in front of Noah…and face the pressure of the terrifying Champion of Reality!
"Not a helper, Father. Just someone of the same mindset. Just someone…who wishes to save their Reality."
The voice of Halcyon echoed out as her golden hair danced calmly on her shoulders.
A verdant haired woman and a golden haired woman now floated in front of Noah's as they actually bore the pressure of the Great Conqueror!
Behind Aegon, Havenbreaker came by his side as she gazed towards Halcyon coldly, her red lips parting out venomously.
"You little whor-"
BZZT!
The right hand of Aegon was raised as everything came to a halt. Nobody spoke as the Great Conqueror gazed deeply into Halcyon's eyes, his calm back hair beginning to dance wildly on his shoulders as his regal voice replied.
"This is the first time in over a million years that you called me with that title…and you did it for him?"
The air surged with palpable friction and essence as the eyes of the Champion had begun to be filled with many turbulent emotions!
In his heart, a sense of betrayal rose as he gazed at his own daughter and the woman that occupied a position as one of his oldest friends.
Yet now, the two of them stood to defend a foreign being that had not even been in the Empire for too long!
This feeling of betrayal…it was enough to cause one to do drastic things as before that could occur, Aegon raised his hand and placed it on his chest…a white light flashing across his body as instantly, his eyes turned blank and became void of emotion.
The change caused the hearts of Halcyon and Springforge to tremble as behind them, Noah looked forward with extreme curiosity- the now emotionless voice of the Champion coming out!
"Those you stand to protect are those that you truly care about…you can join the one you protect in his exile!"
WAA!
"Just know…that you would not be able to take with you any of the fruits that I have established!"
…!
Springforge's eyes flashed as they were filled with anger when looking at Aegon, while Halcyon had an impassive expression as if this was not new to her- as if she had seen it all.
The surroundings quieted down once more.
Noah had received his answer. He would not be able to take the fruits established by the Great Conqueror, but he did not truly need them as there were a vast array of Cosmos to be found across the Ruination Sea, with him approaching the number that he expected to cause a significant change in the Infinite Cosmos!
Collecting Cosmos under him to create an Empire…Noah was already doing this at this point in time! If a champion could forge a glorious Empire, then what about him who could rival their ridiculousness even without their Systems? It was a thought among many as he continued to focus on Aegon.
He wondered what ability it was that this being had cast to give himself into an emotionless state as he could look at his own daughter and friend while telling them to get out of his grand empire!
"Each of you have your own Edicts and can withstand Primordial Beasts. Go forge your own paths elsewhere…but not here."
The stance of the Emperor was reiterated! Halcyon had no words as her golden eyes took in the figures of Aegon and her mother beside him. Springforge's verdant hair danced angrily as she gazed towards them and then towards the billions of Paragons, Hegemonies, Antiquities, and Daolords that were still sprawled out across the Cosmic Battlefield.
She then gazed at hundreds of Cosmos from afar that were under the house in her name, a sense of profound emotion coursing through her as she spoke out angrily!
"The House of Springforge…"
"None of the fruits of labor from this Empire can be taken away. Scatter. Scatter before I change my mind!" With his eyes flashing emotionlessly, his will imposed itself in the surroundings as he stated blandly.
Gradually, the Great Conqueror was running out of patience and time as the being on the Throne of Tyranny tapped his finger on its armrest, his essence surging out as the Primordial Sentinels were wrapped with a light of teleportation and began to fade away.
The figures of King Augustus and others from the first Cosmos Noah had arrived in also disappeared along with anyone in the few Cosmos Noah had under him that had become his Vassals! Springforge also turned defiant as she raised her hands towards her Daolords and Antiquities, her voice echoing out.
"Any of those that do not resist…will be able to come with me!"
SHAA!
A verdant light spread from her and covered the most powerful figures from the House of Springforge, more than half of them fading away as the other half…gritted their teeth while letting the green only pass through their bodies.
Many unexplainable emotions coursed through the hearts of all those watching as after a minute passed with constant teleportations, it came down to the Tyrant situated upon the Throne of Tyranny and the two women beside him.
With a gaze of anger, Springforge shook her head while locking eyes with the golden haired Havenbreaker staring down towards them coldly. Halcyon remained impassive as Noah…his helm disappeared from his head as his devilishly handsome face became clear for all to see!
"I enjoyed the experience of the Primordial Empire…O Champion of Reality!" His voice rang out grandly as the regality and defiance within could be felt clearly, Aegon's eyes sharpening as he looked ready to change his mind at any second…but the figures of the three beings around him began to be wrapped up with a silver spatial light.
Noah's multicolored eyes, Springforge's verdant eyes, and Halcyon's golden eyes all reflected onto the faces of Aegon and Havenbreaker as a few seconds later…they all faded!
Faded as at this moment, they were cut off from the Primordial Empire!
As their figures faded…Havenbreaker came beside the majestic bost of Aegon as she wrapped her arms around him from behind, her face filled with apparent love as she voiced out.
"I will never leave you, my Champion…"
…!
Her golden hair and eyes caused her to look dazzling as she said this, her fair hands taking Aegon's chin and turning him to gaze deep into her eyes as she repeated herself.
"Me and you…against the enemies of Reality!"
A proclamation of love! The cold Aegon gazed into the eyes of Havenbreaker as his face softened, his vibrant origin shining brilliantly as he turned to gaze towards the crimson wound that now affected his Empire as he repeated what he just heard.
"Against the enemies of Reality…"
The destiny of different beings weaved and churned into a myriad of directions…nobody being the wiser on where everything was heading even at this moment!
Nobody…but possibly a single being!
Chapter 1333: The Birth Of The Infinite Empire! I
Two lovers floated peacefully amidst the wreckage of shattered galactic and universal boundaries.
'I will never leave you, my Champion…'
These words echoed out in the minds of all those watching with their heads bowed down low off the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield, and they echoed in the mind of the man that had just seen his daughter and friend leave his side and protection for another being!
Even if their relationship was strained. Even if they had things to work on…they still chose to leave him regardless.
But one person stayed by his side. The person he had sought when he was weak, and the one he had obtained after he became the champion of Reality.
The golden haired beauty that at this moment…fully settled into his heart as her words rang out clearly!
'Me and you…against the enemies of Reality!'
Just them against all of Reality.
And who could stand in their way?!
WAA!
With such a thought and his heart settling, Aegon held Havenbreaker closely as his cold eyes were filled with a light of infatuation, glancing at the Cosmos around him as his voice reverberated out.
"We have always been the Bastion of Reality…and we will continue to be so!"
His voice was like cascading sunlight on a dark stormy day, the remaining Forefathers, Daolords, Antiquities, and many more existences privileged enough to watch today's scenes looking towards the pair of existences with fervent eyes.
"Today, we were reminded of the power of Primordial Beasts as after this…we will redouble our efforts as we won't just protect the Primordial Empire- we will actively hunt these creatures until we wipe them from existence!"
"…!"
Glorious words rained down.
There was a second of a delay before…
"OOOOH!" The masses listening to him roared out in fervor!
So what if nearly a third of their Cosmos were lost? What if there were Betrayers in their camp? As of today, all those who didn't stand with them were purged as after all this, the Primordial Empire was bound to be stronger than ever!
"My Champion…" In Aegon's arms, Havenbreaker smiled in a dazzling manner as her voice entered his ears and continued to shower him with utter sweetness.
The two lovers held each other closely as on this day, apart from the Emperor of the Primordial Empire, an Empress would also rise!
A time for restructuring and healing had come as the Primordial Empire rose in another direction, destiny continuing to flow as it wished as far from the sight of two lovers in the middle of the Cosmic Battlefield, there was a single being from far away that was smiling at this scene!
In the pristinely white Primordial Sea, the grand figure of the brutal and magnificent Hyperion glanced at a line up of Daolords and Antiquities from the House of Stormdust that were salvaged and brought over here with him, golden blood flowing into these creatures as their Origins and souls were changed into chimeric products.
While Hyperion oversaw this, the image of two lovers appeared in his mind as he smiled, his ancient voice echoing out.
"The seeds are already sprouting as all there is left now is for them to bloom into something beautiful…"
…!
The essence of Anarchy and a myriad of other completed Edicts rotated madly around this being's Origin as his ancient eyes shone with a devilish light, his plans only known to him at this moment!
—
In the Ruination Sea some light years away from the Primordial Empire.
The angry figure of Springforge could be seen surrounded by the Forefathers, Daolords, Antiquities, and Hegemonies that chose to accept her light.
She was gazing angrily towards a calm looking Halcyon, and then her eyes turned towards the materializing Tyrant on the Throne of Tyranny as her voice snapped out.
"This is the result that leads us to save our Reality? Having division occur in the only Empire that can withstand the assault of even a Cosmic Primordial Beast?!"
Her voice was filled with anger as even though she believed Halcyon and in extension Noah, she was still someone that had just lost her possession of 1,000 Cosmos and countless individuals under her!
She rightfully had the right to anger as the newly teleporting Noah gazed at her and those around her as they didn't consist of any of the beings that were already Noah's Vassals- these existences having already been transported to a certain fantastical location.
"And now we are wandering in the Ruination Sea! Where shall we go? What shall we do?! Back to the Cosmos you stemmed from…is that the answer?" She ground her teeth while she spoke as she only saw Noah looking at her with a curious smile, realizing this being wasn't even looking at this situation as seriously as she was as it annoyed her to no end!
But before she could continue any further, Halcyon stepped forward and glared at Noah upon his floating golden purple throne.
"Before we proceed, you wish to bind us to you…yes?" The Essence of the Nomological Edict of Kairos danced around her eyes as she spoke, Noah smiling lightly towards this unique being as the essence of the Dao of Fealty waved out from him in glorious cascading waves.
"There is an answer to all your questions, and a beautiful place for you to see…but you will first have to pledge Fealty!"
WAA!
His voice echoed out across the Ruination Sea as the millions behind Springforge and even this past faction leader herself looked towards him in shock while staring at the prompt appearing before their eyes.
Yet before any of them could reply, their eyes watched an unfolding and utterly shocking scene of the elegant and beautiful golden haired Halcyon trying to bend towards the being on the throne with her voice echoing out.
"I pledge Fealty to the…"
…!
Before she could kneel, the strong hands of the Tyrant lifted up her chin as his resounding voice echoed out.
"You do not need to kneel to me, Halcyon. Just your Fealty is enough!"
A light of power and destiny burst out as Fealty bound one being to another, Springforge and the others watching the scene of the powerful and unobtainable figure of Halcyon having her chin elevated to look at a single man on a throne as her eyes…her eyes didn't seem to have space for anybody else!
Chapter 1334 - The Birth Of The Infinite Empire! II
A scene of a kingly enthroned figure and a woman trying to kneel towards him, her gaze glancing at him and him alone as such an image etched itself into the minds of all those watching for the rest of their lives!
Springforge looked at this scene as she sighed with frustration, her gaze going towards the mesmerizing being on the throne as she gritted her teeth.
They were already here.
There was no going back at this point!
With her head raised, the past Family Head with millions of Universes in her Origin and a self discovered Edict called out elegantly.
"I swear Fealty to the Tyrannical Emperor!"
THRUM!
Waves of fate and destiny coalesced as those behind her looked at their own leader speak such words, Daolords like Azazel who had appeared before Noah when he first arrived at the Indigo Cosmos looking at this scene in a surreal fashion as after some hesitation…they too followed.
"I swear Fealty to the Tyrannical Emperor…" Hegemonies, Antiquities, Daolords…and even the few Forefathers in the surroundings all gritted their teeth as they followed the example of their leader and pledged Fealty to a single man!
Destiny and fortune flew around wildly, especially on the figure situated on the purple golden throne as he raised Halcyon to look at him straight, his voice echoing out.
"Now I can invite you all to my home…"
BZZT!
Mana colorfully waved around and wrapped onto every one of them, their figures disappearing from this region of the Ruination Sea as they were transported vast distances towards another area!
When they all came to be and gazed at the new sight around them, they found that even though they were still on the Ruination Sea, there was a nigh endless object that reminded them of something they were used to seeing for much of their lives before their very eyes.
It seemed similar, but it had a fantastical beauty as before their eyes, they saw a cluster of glimmering transparent Cosmic Barriers that seamlessly contacted each other, the myriad of Universes within each of these Cosmos being able to be clearly seen as around all of these Cosmos…a vast transparent barrier wrapped around them protectively!
It was a cluster of dozens of Cosmos as it reminded them of the Primordial Empire on a smaller scale, but the scintillating white light released from its glimmering barriers that were so transparent between the Cosmos made them think they were looking at something else entirely.
"I welcome you all to my Infinite Cosmos…or more aptly now, we should call it the Infinite Empire!"
WAA!
The booming voice of Noah took them out of their stupor as he waved his hands once more, the figures of everyone flashing away as they were sucked into the unique floating treasure that had grown enough to be termed an Empire!
They were sucked into the main Cosmos of the newly titled Infinite Empire, the Primordial Cosmos that Noah's Dark Universe stemmed from as all of them were transported into the Novus Universe that held Dao Galaxies of verdant Dao Fruits and Herbs among many other things.
"Soon to exceed 100 Cosmos in total, it's the place I call home as well as the place that will be the true Bastion of Reality! The place that if all else falls on our Reality…it will be the last line of defense!"
The booming voice of Noah shook all the new entrants out of their reverie as they looked around them, the eye catching scene of Noah situated on a throne taken in by them as around him, they could see the figures of stupendously shining women gazing their way- the one at the lead being Adelaide as Barbatos and others flanked her left and right.
Behind them, the figures of Noah's summons, Oathkeeper, Kazuhiko, Steel Mikhail, the Emperor Penguin, Cthulhu…and many more could be seen on top of the newly transported King Augustus Marcus Tiberius and his family from the Indigo Cosmos!
The new and old met each other as Springforge and Halcyon took in this scene with shining eyes, their auras billowing out to wrap around this Universe and the Cosmos it was in as well as the numerous other Cosmos surrounding it as they learned about their new environment.
Noah gave them a few seconds to adjust as within this time, he also reflected on the closure of the Nexus Event and what it meant for him from here!
He had obtained enough loot that he had to absorb and achieve a halfway mark towards the Cosmic Realm, he had completed two Edicts at the same time as he opened the pathway of Bloodline of Edicts that allowed him to generate the True Blood of Higher Existences to elevate himself to this stage…he had obtained a small clump of the essence of Reality through the Blue Slime as from the Bloodline of Kismet, he had unlocked Author's Jurisdiction as he could quite literally edit aspects of Reality as long as he obtained enough Essence of Reality!
He had to consult with the Edict of Kismet for the best path forward for him to take…on whether he would utilize the small clump of the essence of Reality later when he collected more or at this moment to complete more Edicts or edit other aspects of Reality for himself, Hyperion, or even Aegon.
There were many things for him to do as many boons were gained from a short period of time, and Noah had to now absorb them and elevate himself higher while still making plans for obtaining even more!
As for the next Treasure chest that he wanted to dip into?
'An Ender of Reality with reserves of the Essence of Reality trying to forge a Primordial Epitaph and bring forth a System…'
It was an expansive and dangerous treasure chest that Noah would more than likely still poke in the future!
He thought of all of these things and more as after a few seconds of Halcyon and Springforge recalibrating, the Primordial Ruination Clone tapped his finger upon his throne as he gathered the attention of all, his nearby surroundings flashing with a spatial light as his Universal Body appeared.
…!
The body that only those in the Infinite Cosmos had seen- the body that Halcyon and Springforge as well as all others from the Primordial Empire had yet to see showed itself in all of its glory!
It was the size of multiple galaxies as it looked extremely stellar and ancient, weaker beings seeing his Universal form for the first time nearly blanking out in awe as Springforge gazed towards him with her jaws nearly falling off the void of space.
Halcyon's eyes glimmered with intense light as her golden eyes reflected this scene, everyone watching this shining stellar being with billions of Universes flowing through his body as his voice reverberated out.
"I welcome you all onto a place that began as a mere island floating in a blue sky."
THRUM!
Noah recalled the Spiritual Land of a treasure he had obtained from the Beast World, his eyes filled with millions of Universes releasing rays of glorious light as he continued.
"A place that began as a mere island and then became a world, a Galaxy, a Cosmos, and now…a cluster of Cosmos! I welcome you all today for the proclamation and birth of the Infinite Empire!"
WAA!
With his body suffusing multicolored light all around and in a purely fantastical form that drew the awe of all, Noah started off a new chapter of a complicated journey with the proclamation of the Infinite Cosmos into the Infinite Empire!
Chapter 1335: The Birth Of The Infinite Empire! III
"You…you're not from the human race? What is this…"
In the vibrant Novus Universe, Springforge freely expressed her shock as she looked at Noah's stupendous Universal Form, flying towards his position with utter curiosity in her eyes as she looked him up and down!
Her essence was weaving out madly to try and wash over him to understand exactly what he was, this powerful existence shaking her head as she made no headway no matter what she tried.
"What type of existence are you to have a body such as this…"
She called out in dazed fashion as she inadvertently went forward and grabbed onto Noah's arms, lifting one up and stroking the stellar skin atop it as her verdant eyes shone only with the light of curiosity for what lay before her!
Yet such an action caused the gorgeous silver-haired Elena by the side to bubble forth with a dangerous aura, Adelaide raising her hands as she smiled lightly and stopped anyone from taking any drastic and unwarranted actions.
"Aunty Springforge."
BZZT!
Yet a dangerous aura still rose from behind Springforge as Halcyon gazed towards her with cold golden eyes, shaking this Family Head out of her stupor as she cleared her throat and stepped back from the existence who glimmered much too brightly!
Noah looked at these beings as he smiled brightly, beginning the grand introduction of two sides that had yet to fully meet.
And whether it was pure coincidence or weaving of destiny, a momentous event was about to occur as Halcyon, Springforge, and all the other forces from the Primordial Empire who were just introduced would get to witness.
As Noah made the introductions between Halcyon and Springforge with the group of dazzling beauties led by Adelaide and eventually Kazuhiko and the other prominent beings around him, a Universal Clone similar to the one floating beside the Throne of Tyranny appeared outside of the Infinite Empire!
BZZZT!
He appeared in a fantastic fashion as he was the size of tens of Universes, his arms wrapping onto the boundaries of a glimmering Cosmos that he had put on his back as if he was carrying it.
The appearance of this new Cosmos caught the attention of the Antiquities and Daolords within the Novus Universe, those in the middle of introductions turning their eyes towards this direction as they watched the glorious scene of the boundaries of another Cosmos enter the folds of the Infinite Empire, a brilliant white gold light wrapping onto and accepting it as it seemingly became one with the cluster of Cosmos!
The number was 99 before this.
After collecting over the past days, this Cosmos marked the 100th as after its assimilation into the cluster of Cosmos…the whole stellar cosmic object began to vibrate and tremble as it released gorgeous glows of colors and awe!
"What's happening now…" In the Novus Universe, the green hair on Springforge's head was shaking as she spoke out while feeling the descent of an unspeakable and ancient air, the one to reply to her being Noah as he spoke out grandly.
"The elevation of a unique treasure onto another stage…with boons that should benefit all of us!"
Yes!
It was the elevation Noah had always felt would happen when he hit the Fusion of 100 Cosmos, the Cosmos Core he had under him this whole time finally gaining a sufficient level of recognition as it had taken steps towards another level.
BZZZT!
Waves or cascading power washed over the boundaries and space within the Universes of all the connected 100 Cosmos, rainbow colored lights reflecting onto everyone's eyes as they were exposed to a light show that concluded with the myriad of lights actually coagulation towards the center of the very Novus Universe they were in within the Primordial Cosmos!
The cluster of lights was forming into an exquisite structure that only became visible after a few seconds, the eyes of all feasting on the birth of a vibrant set of golden steps millions of light years in size, these set of steps leading up to a glimmering golden throne and beneath it, there were exactly 100 other Thrones placed below it!
A set of stairs showing 100 thrones shining with a myriad of colors as they all bowed toward a single golden throne that was empty at this time.
Around it, a transparent barrier more impenetrable than even a Cosmos formed as this enclosed structure began to give off a holy and untouchable feel, everyone watching in a stupor as Springforge's sonorous voice echoed out once more.
"Now what the hell would that be?"
What could it be! This was the question in their minds as while they watched the impenetrable barrier form around the golden stairs and the thrones within it, they saw rivers of multicolored essence of multiple Daos and Laws begin to surge within this space, a profound air unlike anything they had seen so far suffusing all around it!
Others may not know what it was, but Noah very easily found out about it all as before his sharp eyes, a blue text box that showed him something he was very much familiar with appeared.

[Upgrade Conditions- The Fusions of all the Cosmos from 5 different Realities will give way to the advancement into the Primordial Relic- Seed of Reality.]
….!
Chapter 1336 - The Birth Of The Infinite Empire! IV
At 100 Cosmos, the past Infinite Cosmos was finally considered a Cosmic Filament- a cluster of Cosmos as such a distinction allowed for the improvement of many features as well as the unlocking of others!
From {Cosmic Core Management}, the ability was now {Cosmic Filament Management} as under it, there lay something beautiful.
Apart from the numbers and many new things to explore, Noah's eyes honed in on a singular thing at the very end of the Blue panel that described the conditions to elevate the unique treasure within his hands into the next rank.
He had to…fuse the Cosmos within 5 separate Realities before it could advance forward in rank, and this advancement would make it a Seed of Reality!
Reality!
In the possible future, Noah would actually be capable of having such a thing as a mere treasure under him as the current Infinite Empire would be elevated to become a Primordial Relic.
"..."
It was a fantastical concept to think about as Noah forcefully shook himself out of his reverie, browsing through everything else as his mind sent waves of communication toward a certain location.
"What are the relevant changes and upgrades across all features?"
Noah's voice echoed into the consciousness of the Cosmic Core as it replied swiftly.
Cosmic Treasures can now be forged in the Blacksmith's Forge with the requirement of unique materials and transmutations, though not at the level of naturally born Cosmic Treasures like RUINATION.
…!
Elixirs to increase Comprehension and Assimilation in All Laws and all levels of Daos can now also be made in the Alchemy Hall.
The monotone voice of the Cosmic Filament Core continued on without a pause, more and more fantastical things being said one after another!
Cosmic Daos can now be forged freely with the upper limit being how many Cosmos are fused within the Infinite Empire, with 3 Cosmic Daos rivaling the quality of Ruination and the Primordial Daos now capable of being forged.
"Ah…"
Words that brought Noah immense happiness echoed out as they continued even now!
The Time Dilation in specified spaces can now rival that of RUINATION, being at the ratio of 1000:1, and this feature is even more enhanced when we discuss the newly unlocked Cosmic Holy Land.
The Grand area that had appeared in the Novus Universe that was larger than multiple galaxies, an exquisite structure of golden stairs with thrones sprawled gloriously through out as above all these thrones- a single golden one prevailed! The details of this new feature floated out seamlessly before Noah's mind.
Cosmic Holy Land :: The land of progress and enlightenment for the Emperor overseeing the Cosmic Filament Core and a specific number of chosen Kings under him that are given unique authorities. Within the Cosmic Holy Land, the concentration of all known Law and Dao Essences are increased by a factor of a thousand, forging an area where just by spending a sufficient amount of time in, one can comprehend and easily assimilate Daos and Laws. Within this land, the ratio of time is 5000:1 when compared to the outside Cosmos, with the chosen Kings being granted +1,000,000% to Realm Progression, Law and Dao Comprehension, and the privilege of having their influence spread across the Infinite Empire as they gain a passive increase in their Marks of Antiquity constantly. The one residing on the throne of the Emperor is granted +100,000,000% to Realm Progression & Law and Dao Comprehension, a Doubling of all of his different Essence Resources, and the responsibility to carry the Cosmic Filament Core forward to become a Seed of Reality that once it sprouts and blooms…
"..."
The words stopped there as Noah's eyes turned questioningly towards the consciousness of the Cosmic Filament Core.
...This is just how I put it, Master. It was a cluster of undecipherable information after the mention of carrying the responsibility of bringing forth the Seed of Reality as I thought it would be better to not include the undecipherable portions.
The monotone voice that seemed to gradually be showing more and more emotion rang out as Noah smiled while shaking his head, looking towards the single golden throne sitting above all others in the Cosmic Holy Land as the figure of his Universal Form disappeared to teleport into this vibrant Holy Land!
His Primordial Ruination Clone remained behind on the Throne of Tyranny as he watched his other body arrive in the stellar space and sit calmly upon the golden throne, a blinding light shooting out as the seat of the Emperor of the Infinite Empire was taken at this moment.
"It is a glorious mark of distinction…one that some of you will be able to enjoy as we move forward!" His Primordial Ruination Clone answered the dazed Springforge that had asked what was going on, the figure of his main body in the Cosmic Holy Land becoming covered by multicolored rivers of essence and fog that swirled around this unique location, disappearing from everyone's eyes as Noah's Clone took the center of attention!
They all gazed towards him for direction and answers as he smiled lightly, even the gaze of this Primordial Ruination Clone on the Throne of Tyranny as a duty fell upon him.
There were Kings to be appointed.
There was structure to form for the newly enacted Infinite Empire!
As the Primordial Ruination Clone would take care of these matters, Noah himself had hidden his golden throne within the vibrant and mystical Cosmic Holy Land as he enjoyed the 5,000:1 Time Ratio, a single day in the outside Cosmos being 5,000 days within this space- that was over 13 years!
Noah used this increased time on hand as he pulled out the duplicated Shards of a Cosmic Core and Shards of a Primordial Heart, his Origin beginning to bubble hungrily as it was ready to forge billions of Cosmos.
At the same time, the essence of Kismet dawned upon him as the Flames of Kismet danced wildly within his Origin, Noah looking at the best paths he could take from here on out as he prepared for his grand return to the Primordial Sea where the waves of Destiny were clustered around the most at this point in time!
Chapter 1337 - Halfway Towards The Cosmic Realm! I
The Kings to oversee the ever expanding Infinite Empire!
This task fell onto the Primordial Ruination Clone as it was dealt with expertly, those closest to Noah being granted this title that was more so a ticket into the Cosmic Holy Land than anything else.
This was because they didn't truly need to manage any of the 100 Cosmos, with the Cosmic Filament Core being the unique entity that could oversee all corners of these lands and what was occurring within them 24/7!
But it was a title of distinction and honor as those who received it could only be gazed at with a light of envy.
Among those chosen were of course Adelaide and the many other women Noah was involved with, along with Kazuhiko, Oathkeeper, the Sword Emperor, Emperor Penguin…and many others close to him being among the 100 Kings as two slots were even given to the most powerful combatants apart from Noah in the Infinite Empire currently- the two women wielding the Edicts of Amelioration and Kairos!
"Go into the Holy Land to test it out. A second out here is 5,000 seconds within, and each throne is like its own small galaxy as you will not be bothered when you train."
Noah voiced out to the newly appointed Kings of the Infinite Empire who gazed towards the faraway Holy Land in a stupor, and one could see a transparent glimmering gold crown rotating atop each of their heads at this moment as it showed their elevated status!
With his go ahead, the chosen Kings began to disappear into the Cosmic Holy Land where within…Noah's main body had already been Devouring countless Shards of a Cosmic Core and the Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart, his Origin currently vibrating with a terrifying suction force as countless Universal Singularities bloomed and settled!
BZZZT!
His entire Universal Form was surrounded by an incredibly beautiful array of colors as the body continued to change every millisecond with the birth of new Universes inside it, making this power up session one that would cause others to be lost in awe just from staring at him.
This time around, he wasn't even taking crystals in his hands to enjoy the feeling of draining the unique essence and have it coursing through him and forging the Universes, with him eventually switching to activating the Sin of Gluttony as his mouth turned into an endless black hole that devoured all incoming Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart and Shards of a Cosmic Core from his Expansive Space!
All of them entered into him as they were broken down to give the promised rewards, the phenomenon of Noah forging tens of Millions of Universes within his Origin every second currently playing out.
Tens of millions of new Universes every second! It was a surreal reality as not too long ago, he barely broke through to the stage of Antiquity and forged 3 Universes, and he was now doing an action that would have seemed impossible to the him of the past!
It made him wonder what concept he considered impossible now that just months from this point in time in the future…he would be doing with ease.
OOOOM!
The fantastical show of light continued within his Origin as while millions of Universes were being forged, Noah also had his consciousness focused on looking at the many Daos he currently had and what he would be designing for the next round of Edicts.
From the many new Cosmos that each had their own millions of years of history and existences, Noah had found those with a myriad of Daos that he obtained himself, new Cosmic Daos like Permafrost or Grand Daos Malleability!
Unique daos with their own uses as with Permafrost, Noah could freeze an entire Universe to a destructive level with a wave of his hands when considering his current power, and Malleability to forge anything into a malleable weapon- even their own body!
Each of them had their own unique uses as there were a list of them to go through as he saw how he could match them up with his current ones and what Edicts could be born from them.
And when it came to producing More Cosmic Daos…the limiter had been raised from 3 and to the number of Cosmos currently in the Infinite Empire as to top it all off, 3 Cosmic Daos at the level of Ruination and The Primordial Daos could be made.
Daos rivaling what made up the base materials of Cosmos- what made up the endless Ruination Sea and the Primordial Seas!
Now, Noah had the authority to do such a thing as the possibilities in his mind were many.
But he was practical as he began step by step, his eyes shining with a brilliant light as he called out the names of Ideas he had only theorized until now.
"Design the Cosmic Dao of Runes and the Cosmic Dao of Blueprints."
WAA!
Yes, Master.
His voice echoed out as his wishes were followed, Daos that weren't necessarily offensive or defense being forged at this moment as it was for Noah's upcoming project of tackling Systems and the design of their Primordial Epitaphs!
Runes and Blueprints. There were many aspects of power that used Runes- something Noah didn't know top much about, and the Primordial Epitaph itself was a form of a Runic Blueprint as Noah planned to dissect these two things and be entirely knowledgeable in both…as at the end of it all, he planned to forge an Edict that involved these two Daos as well as Ruination or the Primordial Dao!
An Edict where he could finally utilize one of these Supreme Cosmic Daos- an Edict that Noah expected to not just touch the level of Minor.
'If Hyperion can have two of his own completed GREATER Edicts, why can't I?'
…!
He compared himself to someone as special as an Ender of Reality, someone that had already completed two GREATER Edicts and many more Minor Edicts as he was halfway through becoming a Higher Existence!
Others might say this comparison was unfair…and it would be true as Noah was still underestimating himself if he only compared himself to an Ender of Reality!
Chapter 1338 - Halfway Towards The Cosmic Realm! II
His eyes shone with boldness and power as during this time, his Origin had become even more vibrant as with the Devouring of so many Shards of a Cosmic Core and Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart, his Origin was now saturated with an unbelievable number of Universes as it still rose higher.
If one counted them all, they would be able to see the fantastical number of more than 30 Billion Universes, with this number changing to 31 and 32 billion within seconds as Noah rushed towards the halfway point of the Cosmic Realm in mere seconds!
He made it look too easy when others were still stuck with a few thousand Universes all their lives, and even prominent destined existences like Halcyon and Springforge had only formed a few million in all these years.
Yet he…ah!
Brilliance and glory leaked out of him as with every passing of a second now, a billion Universes bloomed as his body alone palpated with magisterial power!
—
As one being forged billions of Universes while also designing Cosmic Daos, events continued to unfold elsewhere as there was a particular one worthy of note atop the healing Primordial Empire.
The figure of Aegon was floating above the vast Empire that now had erased the crimson wound running across it, the area where Hyperion had plucked out Cosmos being filled with others as Aegon merely closed up the huge rift of Ruination with the remaining Cosmos!
His calm gaze still carried a trace of wrath as even though the cluster of Cosmos was still as brilliant as ever, he still felt that it now had some imperfections.
"I leave for such a short time and so many things happen?"
…!
A sonorous voice resounded behind him as without his knowledge, a veiled being clad in white appeared in a mesmerizing fashion!
Adorned in an exquisite dress and a veil covering her head, she released an aura of power and purity as even the essence of Ruination in the surroundings didn't bear to ever approach her.
Aegon turned towards her direction as he still held his impassive expression, and yet those with extremely discerning eyes would be able to see a flash of a hidden emotion hidden deeply within the gaze of this Champion!
"The Ender of Reality has risen and made his first actions, that is all."
…!
The brows of the veiled Primordial before Aegon lifted as the one that Noah knew only by the name Cecilia- the being who had given him a minuscule portion of a Primordial Heart a long time ago…this being made her return into this Reality at this time!
Aegon's words caused her to raise her head to the side as one could imagine a calm smile being etched on her face.
"When I left, you should have been nearing an average power of a Cosmic Primordial Beast, now that you have come in contact with one, the boosts of your system should have kicked in as it is now an inevitability for you to surpass it!"
…!
Her words were calm and filled with surety, speaking of something that only Aegon was privy to as he nodded calmly!
"I will be the only one unrivaled and Invincible…with my rate of growth rising to whatever is required to reach the level of the strongest enemy from my Reality…"
Yes! One of the perks of the Invincible System was the fact that Aegon would have his rate of growth and power scale upwards crazily whenever he met stronger enemies, with it continuing to rise until he was the only one who could call himself Invincible within his Reality.
'Within my Reality...' Such a thought crossed Aegon's mind as his eyes flashed with an unknown light, focusing on the figure of the Primordial before him.
"Yes. I will be more proactive in clearing out the smaller Beasts and will soon approach the Primordial Sea and drag it out of its whole when my strength has risen sufficiently. I want to complete more Edicts first..."
His eyes were filled with confidence and strength as he said this, with the veiled Primordial coming before him as slender white gloved hands reached out from her pristine white dress and came forward to tap on his forehead.
Aegon floated in the Ruination Sea calmly as if this was normal, the veiled Primordial nodding her head as she spoke out calmly.
"Everything is fine with your Soul Record...you're even exceeding many of the parameters that other Champions have a hard time passing with the Invincible System."
...!
Aegon's eyes flashed as he nodded as if this was to be expected, his eyes turning towards her questioningly as he asked.
"What came from the incident we experienced before that you left to investigate?"
He recalled an event not too long ago where a consciousness had actually hidden from them and been around them without their notice, questions on exactly this as the veiled Primordial pulled back while gazing upwards to a place only she could see!
"The culprit stems from the Bloodline of Samsara. It might be another Primordial or an Anomoulous existence that has latched onto this Bloodline."
...!
She replied calmly as Aegon's eyes opened wide. Why would such an existence have been listening to their conversation?
"After finding out about this, I visited Old Man Cthal'ithost who designed the Edict of Samsara to know who exactly was so bold as he was about to tell me when all of a sudden...that being achieved full inclusion into the Bloodline of Samsara."
WAA!
"Old Man Cthal'ithost considers all those with full inclusion into one of his Bloodlines to have certain rights and protection, so he then chose not to tell me...that Old fool."
...!
Terrifying words left her mouth as the complicated weaving of destiny was revealed ever so slightly at this moment!
Just within the last hour during the battle in the Primordial Empire, Noah had completed the Nomological Edict of Samsara as it just so happened to coincide with the same time his identity was about to be known by the veiled Primordial Cecilia!
Yet the first Edict he chose to complete was Samsara.
Through coincidence or Destiny, a Calamity was averted through this single action!
"So I simply returned here to check on how things are going after that. After all, I cannot change the mind of an Elder Primordial like Cthal'ithost."
Her words carried a trace of annoyance and respect as she spoke about this being, the Primordial and her Champion continuing to talk as waves of unseen destiny reverberated out.
Far from them, in a shining white sea.
A certain Ender of Reality raised his head as his three eyes opened sharply, waves of destiny and fortune surrounding them in a storm as the surroundings became tinged gold!
Even further away in a newly founded Infinite Empire, Noah was surrounded by the essence of Kismet as his entire body glowed gold...and this essence began to flow around him madly at this time.
Destiny and fortune...they interweaved around certain existences as the product that would result from this weaving was still not known!
Chapter 1339 - Halfway Towards The Cosmic Realm! III
In the Primordial Sea.
Hyperion raised his head towards a certain direction as his three eyes shone with a bright luster, his voice coming out in deep waves milliseconds later.
"My destiny rages at her mere appearance…is she where my future path lies? If I can overcome her?"
His Primordial Eye of the Kaiser released rays of light as he looked on, these light rays forming into a unique channel above his eyes as his voice released coldly.
"The target Primordial has appeared in this Reality again…even if this Aegon is her favorite Champion for her to visit this Reality so much, do not expect so many chances to arise!"
His voice had turned commanding and domineering as he sent a message to a far away location- a location not even within this Reality as those receiving it were terrifying beings!
The consciousness on the other end seemed to understand what Hyperion was hinting at as there was a reply after a few seconds.
"The Primordial Relic will take some time to procure and send over to you, and the design for the ultimate plan of that Primordial isn't yet complete so we cannot move. If she routinely visits your Reality, she will continue to do so as you need to be more patient…Little Ender!"
…!
The voice had actually taken a stern and commanding tone as well, using the term Little Ender as it signified a far stronger and higher status Ender of Reality giving a lower one advice!
BZZT!
It was something that caused Hyperion's eyes to flash with an intense light as he listened no longer, his Primordial Eye of the Kaiser snapping heavily as he cut off the connection without even replying.
"This is why you have to rely on your strength…"
He spoke with a terrifying tone as this Cosmic Primordial Beast was currently doing something within his elephantine limbs, with them having the figure of Stormdust floating in the middle of the Primordial Sea as the limbs released white shackles that dug into Stormdust's skin on all sides!
At the same time, these shackles continuously fused essence into the body of Stormdust as around his head, one would be shocked to find the multicolored essence that Noah had very little of and could barely utilize- it was the essence of Reality!
Wisps of it left the limbs of the Cosmic Primordial Beast as it wrapped around Stormdust's head, trying to dig into him as. His face would occasionally be distorted in immense pain and fear, but his body was continuously being strengthened from the chains digging into them and even the mere presence of the Essence of Reality surrounding him.
"This is why you cannot rely on others, Betrayer. They work on their own timeliness as they do not care about your Destiny- only their own. It is why you have to bear the pain until I can grasp exactly how to form a Primordial Epitaph…"
The words were said with calmness and impassivity that would terrify others, Hyperion already beginning his experiments in the white sea as he didn't react too drastically to the reappearance of the Primordial!
—
At the same time, in the foggy area of gold where Noah's Universal Body was Devouring countless Shards of a Cosmic Core and Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart, the essence of Kismet surrounding him reacting to the arrival of the Primordial as he knew right away what it was.
His destiny and fortune churned as Noah felt some danger bells ringing, his eyes flashing sharply as he saw vast possibilities surrounding this being!
Opportunity and danger…that was what he currently felt when Kismet alerted him about the veiled Primordial arriving in his Reality. He couldn't discern anything he could do when it came to her currently as it was still something out of his reach, with him needing to achieve the goal of the Cosmic Realm first before anything else just to see if he could stand a chance.
"Still slow hmm? The rate of growth could definitely be faster…" The biggest cheater of all cheaters spoke as such while a smile came upon his face, keeping Kismet active as there was one thing he found he could do relatively soon when all of his fortune and destiny recovered.
That was to cast Author's Jurisdiction with this being as the target!
Just the cast of this skill cost droves of his fortune and destiny as he nearly ran dry when he looked into Hyperion, and a Primordial might just take all of his reserves just for the cast of the skill with them as the target before he could even read about their current reality and what things he could change within it.
"Soon…" He waited for his reserves of destiny and fortune to fill back up as it would take mere hours, his eyes instead turning to the two newly forged Daos that he built for a specific purpose.
BZZT!
Crackles of power and light surged out from the Cosmic Filament Core as two runic symbols stretched out from it and into Noah's Origin, one of them titled RUNES and the other titled BLUEPRINTS!
Noah accepted these symbols into his origin as the details of two new Cosmic Daos bloomed in his mind.
COSMIC [Dao of Runes] :: A Cosmic Dao birthed by the Cosmic Filament Core of Noah Osmont. As the Dao Architect, Noah Osmont can comprehend and assimilate the Dao at 10 times the normal speed. The Cosmic Dao of Runes gives expert understanding into the unique field of Runes, with one being capable of enacting runes for the purpose of teleportation, attack, offense, defense, and even support. So long as one studies the proper Rune, astounding effects can be achieved when they are drawn. As the Architect of the Dao of Runes, the title of Rune Master is granted as it allows for the passive etching of 10 Defensive, Support, or Offensive Runes to be branded onto your Origin and Soul. The ability of Soul Rune Etching is also attained as you can brand a single rune onto the souls of others permanently. Full Assimilation of the Cosmic Dao of Runes allows the Architect to etch 20 Runes onto their body and Soul and be capable of etching 3 onto others. The same Rune can only be applied to a Soul once as there cannot be duplicate Runes in a single soul. Currently available Runes- Rune of Mana, Rune of Ruination, Rune of Loot, Rune of Defense, Rune of Speed, Rune of Vitality, Rune of Darkness….
The description of a fantastic new Cosmic Dao rose up before his eyes!
Chapter 1340 - Halfway Towards The Cosmic Realm! IV
The first Dao to be forged this time around was a Dao Noah had to make as he had come across too many things with the concept of Runes!
Runic circles when he cleared dungeons in the past, Runic Dao Lines from deconstructed daos, Runic sigils, Runic Symbols for the Daos he forged…too many things had runes at their base as he sought to understand this more and also have it be used as a recipe for an Edict that would help him forge a System!
The Cosmic Dao of Runes granted many unique boosts and uses as one of the main ones as allowing Noah to brand 20 Runes onto his body and soul permanently, and he didn't know exactly how powerful these Runes would be as it would simply be like tacking on boosts of different types.
He peered into something like the Rune of Mana and Loot for better understanding.
[Rune of Mana] :: Radiant blue in color and unique in design, this rune can be branded onto one's soul as they experience a permanent effect of their mana reserves being multiplied by 100 times. The quality of one's mana is also continuously raised and refined over time until it achieves the purest quality of mana that makes the cost of all abilities as little as possible.
[Rune of Loot] :: Gold in color with exquisite etchings, this rune can be branded onto one's soul as they experience the permanent status effects of +100% Increased Loot Quantity and +10% Increased Loot Rarity.
"Hmm…"
Noah looked at the results while nodding lightly, something like the Rune of Mana that would have little use to him being something indispensable to others. Just imagine an expert like Halcyon or Aegon suddenly having their Mana Reserves times by 100…it was a simple concept of runes with a shocking result that would make others green with envy!
The Rune of Loot was even more unique as it was something even he wanted to brand onto himself, and he did just that as he called out lightly.
"Rune of Loot."
THRUM!
His surroundings vibrated with power as a unique essence rolled out, coming to coagulate before his eyes as it began forming into pristine etchings that he would have simply understood as the word LOOT before!
But now, it wasn't just the mere cluster of symbols to form this word as with his eyes bathed with the Dao of Runes, he could see this symbol before his eyes containing wisps of a unique power that could influence Reality…and yet it wasn't the essence of Reality.
He felt like he was touching upon a grand path as his essence of fortune and destiny seethed excitedly, knowing he had taken the right path towards his goals! And how could he not take the right path? He had confirmed with Path to Victory after all!
SHAA!
The Rune of Loot rushed towards and sunk into him as it went on to circle his Origin and soul, binding onto one of his centermost Splendiferous Universe that began to shine gold- Noah feeling the addition of +100% Increased Loot Quantity and +10% Increased Loot Rarity on top of what he already had.
"Beautiful…"
Noah admired his new design as within his Origin, he only now noticed that his forged Universes had already passed 50 Billion!
—
Within the very same Primordial Cosmos of the Infinite Empire.
There were many unique locations that could be found among the currently 100 Cosmos of this Empire, with many of them being clustered in the Primordial Cosmos where Noah's original Universe stemmed from!
There was the newly built Cosmic Holy Land in the Novus Universe along with the countless Law and Dao Spaces, and within the Dark Universe itself where Noah stemmed from, another feature that many knew as the Library could be found here!
It was the location that all new entrants in the Infinite Empire had to pay homage to when they arrived as they further boosted their power, and there was currently a concession of women flying across space towards the physical location of this Library that floated in stellar space.
It was a vast structure lined by greek styled pillars and walls with a golden fog surrounding its sides, much of it looking like the archaic grand libraries as between the golden pillars, a vast number of bookcases with labels of [Offensive], [Defensive], or [Universal Rank Skills], [Universal Filament Skills]...many sections with multiple subsections could be seen as they stretched out as far as the eye could see!
There were millions of beings lined up neatly near the entrance of the vast Library waiting their turn to go in and select skills to learn, these existences ranging from those in the Void Realm to those in the rank of Paragons or Antiquities!
But the procession of women floating forward caused all of these existences in the surroundings to part way for them respectfully, their gorgeous group landing on the golden steps of the library as they bypassed everyone waiting. And of course others parted ways from them…since they knew this group of women to be those closest to the Emperor of this fantastical cluster of Cosmos!
"Why do I sense fear and awe from the eyes of these little guys around you all?" Springforge raised her eyes as she gazed in the surroundings while directing her question towards the woman leading them- Adelaide.
But it wasn't her who replied as the shorter Barbatos dressed in a frilly black dress raised her eyes disdainfully, the illusory golden crown above her head symbolizing her title as one of the current 100 Kings as she spoke while her curvaceous body glimmered brightly.
"Of course, they have reason to look in awe. But it's not towards our identity…it's just an extension of being around Little Fish!"
Her words caused Elena, who was adorned in a red dress by the side to raise her eyes while Athena laughed lightly, her lips pursing as she released the words 'Junior Brother…' that only she could hear.
"Little Fish?" Halcyon was following behind Springforge as she asked quizzically, an illusory crown also on her head like all the women in the surrounding entourage as her golden hair and eyes made her stand out even more with her beauty.
At the forefront, Adelaide stepped into the vast Library as she turned back and motioned for them to hurry, her blue eyes bright as replied.
"Just the name that Sis Barbatos met Noah with in the past…come, let's get you guys acquainted with all the skills and skill trees that can boost your power by multiple times first before you get to know about all the stories, otherwise we'll be here all day!"
Her words held a hint of dignity and power within them as they moved everyone along, even Valentina and Anna who seemed to be talking amongst each other in hushed tones behind everyone!
Valentina was adorned in a short purple dress that hugged her curves as while she dripped of regality, she sent mental waves of communication towards Anna. "Let's see…I bet 10 Primordial Hearts that he has at least been with one of them."
…!
Anna raised her strong eyes as she shook her head at seeing this powerful Daolord engage in such words, but she was thoughtful as she replied back slowly.
"I'll take the bet, he probably hasn't touched any of them yet."
"Yet? So you know it is only a matter of time?" Valentina's mental waves contained a hint of mischief as one could hear her amusement from within, causing Anna to merely shake her head as she replied in a defeated manner.
"It's a matter of time for any powerful woman that comes near him…" Words of wisdom that one could agree with and disagree with came out as the two women continued conversing amongst each other privately while walking through the golden pillars holding countless skills.
At this time, Barbatos let out a harrumph as she jumped forward to a certain direction in the Library while voicing out.
"Then they might as well start with the Blood Lord Skill Tree to gain access to a bunch of clones first, we'll then go through all the passive skills…"
In a fantastical Library lined by golden pillars and a cloudy golden fog that held a hint of mysteriousness, a group of powerful women stepped in as Halcyon and Springforge were introduced to many things they had no idea about.
Noah was in a world of his own as while those closest to him mingled with each other, his eyes were currently set on his Origin as he saw the shining sight of over 50 Billion Cosmos that was still increasing- albeit at a slower pace, but it was still more than 50 Billion either way!
With 18 of them being rainbow colored Splendiferous Universes that caused almost half of his body to seem multicolored, the rest were normal Universes that were yet to be turned to their most profound state…but it was still a fantastic achievement.
In this Reality, Noah could effectively say he was among the three beings that had ever achieved a level of power at this stage, and he would soon catch up with the other as all he needed was more time and opportunities!
