Chapter 1341 - Epiphany!
A Universal Body that brimmed with over 50 Billion Universes! A grand milestone that Noah achieved with a bit of work, and now he looked to continue moving forward as after reveling in the achievement for some time, he turned his attention back to his newly forged Daos.
His body undulated with mana as he willed the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Runes to activate, his voice coming out in waves.
"Rune of Mana, Rune of Ruination, Primordial Rune…" The names of 19 Runes that Noah considered most prevalent to him were called out as his body became surrounded by the unique sight of 19 archaic-looking Rune symbols!
As Noah looked at them with his deeper understanding of rules, he could see all of the interweaving lines and authorities that went on to make them, and this went even further when his eyes became covered by the essence of another Dao. It was the second Cosmic Dao he forged today…the Dao of Blueprints!
COSMIC [Dao of Blueprints] :: 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 Blueprints allows the user to be in tune with the designs and models of Reality, being capable of understanding the structure of concepts such as laws and Daos to their smallest levels as it becomes easy to glean their source and makeup. The abilities Decipher, Design, and Natural Penetrative Sight are available to the Architect of the Cosmic Dao. Complete Assimilation of this Dao allows one to even be capable at breaking down the components of Edicts as their insight towards the makeup of Reality becomes even more impeccable…
The Dao of Blueprints!
Within it, Noah had the active skill Decipher that he could cast to break down the workings of any objects or concepts, then there was the ability of Design that allowed him to forge his own unique blueprints of things as abstruse as concepts!
Lastly, there was the Natural Penetrative Sight that increased what Noah could see to a ridiculous extent as the truth of everything around him seemingly made itself bare.
It allowed Noah to see and know even more than he thought possible as in conjunction with the Primordial Eye that could already discern truths, Noah felt like he was constantly unlocking the truth of Reality itself!
For instance, the 19 Runes of different types before his eyes…he saw their single structure that his eyes could see, and when he gazed deeper, these runic structures were broken down into countless lines that showed everything about them and how they came together.
The Rune of Ruination before Noah's eyes was made up of countless intertwining lines shining vibrantly with the essence of Ruination, and between them Noah could see wisps of the Primordial Dao Essence actually interlocking in a reaction to bring everything and hold it together!
Primordial Essence…in something that was filled with Ruination! It should have opposed and conflicted with the crimson dao, and yet it actually seemed to act as a lock to keep everything together as ultimately…the rune before his eyes came to be.
"This is…"
An interweaving of Ruination and the Primordial Dao that should be an impossibility, and yet Noah was gazing upon secrets of these Daos interweaving as he went forward to gaze at the 18 other Runes with his eyes shining with the essence of the Dao of Blueprint, even further going forward to cast the Decipher skill contained within this Dao that was self explanatory with its uses!
BZZT!
His eyes glimmered brightly as his mind experienced bursts of information, seeing that in one way or another, the Primordial Dao Essence could be found weaving and interlocking in all the Runes before his eyes whether it was Ruination, Darkness, Mana, or Speed.
Pervasively…Primordial Essence was contained in nearly everything!
Noah felt like he was standing on the precipice of something grand as he just needed a small push to discover something glorious, but frustratingly…he just didn't seem to be able to take that step forward.
"..."
Even as he stared at the interweaving lines of the many runes and understood more about the secrets of the makeup of many concepts, the grand discovery he wanted didn't appear as instead of increasing frustration, his expression hardened and became utterly bold!
With immense determination leaking from his eyes, he went forward without wasting any time to do what he designed the two Daos of Runes and Blueprints.
"Start the forging…of the Nomological Edict of Commandment!"
WAA!
Commandment!
He already knew what the name of the Edict would be as he had wanted to design this with the Cosmic Daos of Runes and Blueprints to be an Edict that would combine these abstruse Daos and many others to forge something that would allow him to bypass any mysteries and having a tool he could use to discern anything.
A tool that he would use not to just understand the workings of Reality…but to actively influence it, even if he had to do it forcefully!
This was what Commandment meant. An order or authority to carry out a certain course of action, and Noah wanted to forge such a thing as when it came to things like the inner workings of Reality, Edicts, or even the concepts of Primordial Epitaphs and Systems that he didn't fully understand…he wanted to be capable of brute forcing his way across all of them by a mere Commandment.
OOOM!
The 19 Runes shining brightly around him sank into his body as they branded themselves only his centermost Splendiferous Universes, his surroundings being replaced by tens of Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart as he began the process of designing an Edict!
Initially, it would have involved the newly forged Daos of Runes and Blueprint on top of Conquest, Destiny, Fate, Biosphere, and Fusion among some laws…but he now wanted to add a Dao that would greatly enhance the difficulty and also elevate what he wanted to make from a MINOR Edict and into GREATER one.
"Since you interweave and link together Runes of so many different concepts…why don't we have you interlink all of these daos together to form me my very own GREATER Edict?!"
RUMBLE!
Chapter 1342 - Epiphany! II
Noah's eyes flashed with multicolored radiance as he spoke out domineeringly!
It wasn't the plan, but after he saw how Primordial Essence interlinked around everything so wondrously, his destiny and fortune began to bubble crazily as he knew he had found a possible grand path to work on. Even though it should have been unbelievably hard as he had yet to forge any Edicts that used the Dao of Ruination and the Primordial Dao as this would more than likely be a GREATER Edict.
But with the advent of the Cosmic Daos of Runes and Blueprints, he could see the essences of Daos at an even deeper level as if he broke them down to their smallest levels…he felt like he should be able to forge this Edict in an even shorter period of time than any of the past Edicts he had forged.
"Primordial, Runes, Blueprints, Destiny, Conquest…!"
The Primordial Essence was the first to bloom around him as thereafter, the essences of Runes, Blueprints, Destiny, Conquest, and many more Daos bloomed crazily!
Then the laws of fate, Light, and Karma erupted out as Noah's universal body became surrounded by the colors of many Daos and Laws.
The Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart began to burn as their essence was used for the purpose of helping him forge an Edict, and his own eyes released beams of light as with the Dao of Blueprints, he could see the interweaving lines of all of these Daos as it made the task of fusing them even simpler!
All he had to do was interlink these many different lines to fit together seamlessly, where at the end of it all…he would bring all of the lines of daos and laws together to form a concept that would represent an Edict.
Just like how he had just seen countless lines come together to form Runes!
And what linked everything together…was the grand Primordial Dao that was at the core of even Cosmos.
THRUM!
Noah's surroundings began to shake madly and with a ridiculous sense of power and awe, Noah's own Origin trembling ever so slightly as he shockingly found the tens of Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart around him to be releasing their essence crazily as the cluster of Daos and Laws around him sucked them in rapidly.
This was because since Noah had seen the structure of how Primordial Essence had acted as the core to link many things together seamlessly, he imitated what he had seen with the composition of Runes and directly put the lines of Primordial essence to connect the Daos of Runes and Blueprints together…and the laws of Light, Fate, and Karma into Conquest, Fusion, Destiny…all of the Daos and Laws around him!
THUMP!
His origin thumped like a live heart as he became increasingly shocked, finding out the fantastical truth that all of the Daos and laws were coming together at a ridiculously fast and unbelievable rate due to him being able to see the lines of these Daos and interlinking bridges of primordial essence to combine them together!
It was so unbelievable that his surroundings began to fluctuate crazily, Reality itself bending and fluctuating as without Noah's full knowledge, he was doing something crazy that someone of his level should in no way have been capable of doing.
"This…"
Noah had rarely been shocked in the past few weeks, especially after obtaining the many Nomological Edicts as he could even discern portions of the future and possible paths he could take. But this…what lay before his eyes was simply unreal.
Not a minute had passed since he called out the names of Daos and Edicts to come around him!
Not even a minute had passed he began to test out interlinking all of them in a similar manner to how he saw the composition of Runes!
Yet…
BZZZZT!
Space and Reality fluctuated as a golden glimmering cluster of essence suffusing with a white light seamlessly appeared before his eyes, where he had to blink a few times as even he couldn't believe it.
It was the harmonious and profound fusion of laws and Daos where at the depths of all of them…a Supreme Cosmic Dao lay!
With the addition of the Primordial Dao at their core bringing everything together in a manner that Noah was only doing as a trial based on what he saw before…he had actually succeeded in forging a Nomological Edict in less than a minute!
Not days or hours that took him to forge the few MINOR Edicts he held, but within the time span of just 60 seconds bloomed…a GREATER Nomological Edict!
"..."
Silence.
Noah was speechless at such a glorious achievement!
He…he could do such a thing too?!
Had he actually stumbled upon something grand as the result was so…
THRUM!
The surging golden river of essence shining in white before his eyes shot towards his body as it sank into his Origin, his figure releasing waves of illustrious light as he unconsciously roared out while releasing beams of white and gold light from his two eyes and mouth!
The reaction was far reaching as it was even felt by the Kings in the Cosmic Holy Land, Kazuhiko and the Emperor Penguin being among others who gazed towards the foggy golden area in his direction as they shook their heads while wondering exactly what Noah had done now.
They didn't know that under a sudden epiphany that Noah thought had not got him anywhere, he was actually given access to the workings a wondrous interlinking process as he was able to forge a GREATER Edict in a period of time that even Normal Primordials would envy and look at in shock!
His body was surrounded by an austere aura of power and might as after his roar shook the surroundings, he came to as he opened his eyes feeling like a brand new being.
Deep within his origin, an endlessly surging river of the second GREATER Edict under him appeared, Samsara being the first as he was merely a follower of it, but this…it was his own forged Edict as its power alone was enough to blind even Noah, and its future uses were bound to help him rise to even greater peaks!
Chapter 1343 - The First Forged GREATER Edict! I
Atop the boundaries of a huge cluster of Cosmos that made the Primordial Empire.
The figure of a certain Veiled Primordial was cruising atop the boundaries of these Cosmos with the wild and regal figure of Aegon beside her, with her flying at the very forefront as Aegon was slightly behind her- this painting a unique scene akin to a servant tending to their queen!
Yet…it was an Emperor of a vast cluster of Cosmos following a powerful Primordial who at this moment turned towards a certain direction and spoke out.
"Any influence that the Primordial Beasts had extended in your Empire have been rooted out?"
Her words were impassive as a second later, Aegon replied in the same manner as he gazed at the reduced number of Cosmos below him.
"Yes. The reach had extended to my closest friends, and now he is gone along with nearly a third of the Cosmos that contained beings tainted by the blood of beasts!"
"Good." Cecilia nodded beneath her veil as her hidden eyes flashed with an intense light. "Anything or anyone who colludes with Primordial Beasts is to be killed without reservations. Recently…strange moves have been happening within some Realities with Enders of Reality exceeding their normal parameters of power and even being capable of defeating instituted Champions through scheming with existences within their own Reality."
…!
Her shocking words carried immense weight as Aegon's eyes flashed dangerously when he heard them!
'A mere Beast exceeding me through schemes? Laughable to even imagine!' His immense Cosmos within his Origin released an unyielding light as a System hidden deep within it called out defiantly.
Invincible! This was his truth and reality….and it would forever remain so!
These were the thoughts that swam in Aegon's head as his belief in his own power remained high at an utmost level.
"This has caused a larger than expected loss of entire Realities as it's something being investigated currently. If we weren't restricted against the Enders of Reality in Emerging Realities…I would have long since cleansed all the ones I look after of these vile creatures!"
OOOM!
Her mere words carried appalling power as she came to a stop on top of the boundary of one of the Cosmos that used to be under the light of Springforge, the deadly light she released fading away just as quickly as it had risen as she spoke in a curious tone.
"Come to think of it, there was an interesting existence I met some time back who could pull upon the strings of Reality…I wonder how he's fared now."
WAA!
Her eyes shone with a slight radiance as she spoke as she tried to ascertain some things, golden strings of karma appeared above her as her fingers moved to search on a particular one and pulled upon it!
Aegon watched this scene with raised eyes as the image of a certain Daolord sitting upon a floating throne appeared within his mind, his mood becoming ruined at what this reminded him of as he pushed this thought out of his mind and watched the Primordial that had golden lines flickering on her fingers, her voice coming out mischievously.
"Let's see…where are you at now?"
—
In the Cosmic Holy Land of the Infinite Empire.
Noah floated near his golden throne as an air of majestic power surrounded him, where even now he affirmed the current Reality and the sequence of events that had just occurred.
An Epiphany of the highest order!
The design of the Cosmic Dao of Blueprints was actually such a tool as it revealed to Noah the crux of an intricate secret, and he was able to weave together a GREATER Nomological Edict in a matter of seconds because of it!
Of course, the Daos and Laws that he had already planned to include also were harmonious as they went along with each other, where if he tried to just add Daos for the sake of it- he might have failed or even stumbled.
This was why Ruination or any other Daos were not included in the forging of this Nomological Edict- because they simply would not have weaved together well to form into what Noah wanted! He didn't know exactly what Edict he would forge that would include both Ruination and the Primordial Daos…even though his surging destiny and fortune were already dancing to try and steer him towards this direction as to top it all off, the ideas of Supreme Cosmic Daos to complement them in forging a ridiculously powerful Edict began to rise up in his mind!
"One step at a time…" His voice echoed out magisterially as his body stopped its radiant glow of colors, calming down as he felt the Nomological Edict of Commandment coursing through him, its details rising before his eyes.
GREATER Nomological Edict of Commandment :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos. It cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The GREATER Nomological Edict of Commandment is born from the combination of the Daos of Primordial, Runes, Blueprints, Conquest, Destiny, Fate, Biosphere, and Fusion along with the laws of Fate, Karma, and Light. As the Edict Architect, Noah Osmont gains the Authority of Commandment that grants him unique rights. With the essence of Commandment, the user can draw out Runic Ecritures of Commandment that have a slight effect of altering Reality. The essence of this Edict is unrivaled in terms of replicating the effects of the Essence of Reality. With the essence of Commandment, one can look upon the mysteries of Reality and command them to release themselves before his eyes. The Authority of Commandment grants one the abilities Multi-Chain Commandments, Word Manifestation, Ecritures of the Soul, and Vault of Commandments. Completion of this GREATER EDICT will unlock the Flames of Commandment that bring with them a unique Bloodline that only allows the Progenitor the ability of Narrative Reality Manipulation Along with this, any Nomological Edict grants its user a smoother pathway towards Reality, granting them an increase in the speed of their Realm Progression by +200,000%, an increase of +2,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 1% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of Commandment: 1%
…!
Chapter 1344 - The First Forged GREATER Edict! II
The description of the Nomological Edict of Commandment had too many things to unpack as the biggest one apart from the actual Edict itself…was the word that had remained hidden this whole time was now laid bare for Noah to see.
He had expected something like it as at this moment, he could smoothly read that "any Nomological Edict grants its user a smoother pathway towards Reality…"!
After the breadth of new knowledge from Author's Jurisdiction and Reader's Foresight. I can say with 90% certainty of the encrypted word being Reality. Thus, I included it this time, Master.
The voice of the Cosmic Filament Core rang out as Noah smiled lightly.
Everything that he and all others were doing towards the path of power…was all leading towards Reality.
"Let's see how long it'll take us to get there, hmm?" His eyes shone with confidence as he spoke of it as a matter of surety and not just a mere possibility!
He then turned his gaze away from this prospect and looked at the first GREATER Edict he had forged, and exactly what this Edict brought on the table.
It would have a myriad of uses as he could use it offensively, defensively, and even in a supportive fashion! Furthermore, it was this Supportive fashion that Noah forged this edict for the most.
He gazed at the abilities of this Edict as he thought of how to quickly raise it to completion to attain the ability of Narrative Reality Manipulation that seemed alone the same lines of terrifying as Author's Jurisdiction, and how to fully utilize it to get what he wanted!
Multi-Chain Commandments :: From a single word to a chain of up to ten words, the Authority of Commandment allows you to utilize a range of chained Runic Ecritures with different effects and power. A single Runic Ecriture can boast as much power as ten chained Ecritures depending on what the Ecriture stands for.
Word Manifestation :: An innate ability that allows all of the laid out Commandments to have their effects manifested into Reality. With a swing of your fingers or even merely your thoughts, the Runic Ecritures of Commandment can be written out as their effects will be carried out thereafter.
Ecritures of the Soul :: The Runic Ecritures of Commandment carry with them a strong aspect of altering Reality as when used in an offensive fashion, they can deal 100,000,000% True Soul Damage. When used Defensively, they can negate 90% of all incoming True Soul Damage.
Vault of Commandments :: Ask the Vault your most pressing questions as the answer will be delivered. When dealing with oneself, the answers are easy to come. When dealing with others, answers can vary.
Abilities with their own uniqueness appeared as they caused Noah to have an itch of testing them out right away!
Words that appeared which might be foreign to others were the [Runic Ecritures], with the word Ecriture simply means "Writing"! But it was written in a way to distinguish this form of Runic Writing as it was titled Ecritures.
After gazing through the skills, Noah's eyes shone with a yearning light as he disappeared from the Cosmic Holy Land and appeared in an expanse of Ruination Sea to test out this new Edict.
With the crimson sea fluttering around him, he raised his hands up and made some strokes in the air!
He wrote something simple that he was used to, but it came out looking ancient as it was in the form of Runic Ecritures.
It was his first Commandment!
{Fireball}
BZZZT!
The word was inscribed in golden letters that trembled with the essence of a GREATER Nomological Edict as thereafter, it flashed in the span of a millisecond as something terrific bloomed from the single word!
It caused the surrounding Ruination Sea to turn an even darker shade of crimson as a millisecond later, an entire blazing Universe of flames roared out madly from the Runic Ecritures of {Fireball} and covered the Expanse of billions of Light Years!
"..."
A devastating sight as if Noah had not left the Cosmic Holy Land, he might have burnt even the thrones and the Kings within it with terrible True Soul Damage.
His eyes shone as after the test of an offensive skill that could wipe out anyone that didn't have a MINOR Defensive Edict instantly, he tried a few others as this time, he moved his thoughts to construct new Commandments.
{Impenetrable Shield}. {Defensive Aura}
Two Commandments formed from his thoughts in the form of Runic Ecritures before his eyes, the golden words shining out briefly before his body was surrounded by a layer of a shield and aura born from the dense essence of a Nomological Edict!
Offensive or Defensive…it was all Noah's choice!
Then, there were the many supportive functions that Noah had not yet tried.
He could simply call put Runic Ecritures to support him in special instances- this being the reason he forged this Edict to begin with. If he had ever arrived at a point of forging Daos or Edicts, or trying to forge his own Primordial Epitaph to design a System and wasn't able to…his options were Author's Jurisdiction that he couldn't easily access or now…the Edict of Commandment!
He wanted to simply write out Commandments to be capable of forcibly achieving what he wanted…and with the fact that this GREATER Edict carried slight effects of being capable of altering Reality, Noah had already succeeded in his first steps.
He would see the true effects of this when the time came, but there was another supportive feature in the name of Vault of Commandments that told him to ask…and he would be answered!
THRUM!
His body began to shake madly with mana as it flooded to change into the essence of the Edict of Commandments, Noah's body undulating in the Ruination Sea as he called out gloriously.
"How can I obtain my own System?"
…!
A simple question akin to a normal farmer looking to the skies and screaming how he could obtain a pot of unachievable gold!
Noah already had a semblance of an answer himself on what to do, but he affirmed the uses of Vault of Commandments by asking.
The Essence of Commandment around his body twisted and weaved as in the next millisecond, golden words formed before his eyes.
{Noah Osmont can obtain a System by subduing the current Champion of Reality and binding himself to the Primordial Cecilia, becoming forever locked onto his current Reality.}
WAA!
The words fluctuated briefly before a second later, another set of words appeared!
{Noah Osmont can work with the Ender of Reality Hyperion to forge his own System.}
"..."
Two possible paths that Noah had glimpsed of before, and they were laid out clearly before him as he looked at the disappearing words while voicing out grandly once more.
"And…what System will I forge?"
BZZT!
The Essence of Commandment flew around madly.
An entire second passed before golden words gloriously rose before his eyes!
{The Infinite System…or The Endless Dreams System…or The Protagonist System.}
…!
Stellar names of pure fantasy and wonder rose before his eyes as just when he wanted to delve more into it…
Master, an unstoppable foreign force is intruding into-"
The voice of the Cosmic Filament Core that was always reserved called out with slight alarm at this moment!
Noah's eyes flashed sharply as his figure disappeared, his voice echoing out grandly from the bursts of light he left behind.
"Is it already time for that to occur…"
RUMBLE!
Chapter 1345 - Innumerable Paths, I Choose A Single One! I
The Infinite Empire had always been calm and free of worries since the moment Noah took the reins of the single Dark Universe that was now contained within one of its many Cosmos so many weeks ago.
The Cosmic Filament Core had never met with any disturbance it couldn't handle, so it was a shock to it when the oppressive and undeniable power of a Primordial began to descend down in the Infinite Empire!
But as the Core sent communications to its Master, it realized that he was calm.
In turn, the consciousness of the Cosmic Filament Core also turned calm.
If the Master had no reason to worry, then he could shoulder everything that was to come!
WAA!
The vast consciousness of the Cosmic Filament Core receded as it didn't put up any resistance. Deep in a unique spatial environment that could only be reached by the one controlling the Cosmic Treasure Ruination- all of Noah's Universal Body clones and the main body that was just testing the Nomological Edict of Commandment appeared within the Ruination Realm along with the clones and bodies of Noah's second human Origin.
Only the single human body of Noah- the one that he had all those years ago when he absorbed the [Fireball] skill tree and began on this journey, only this remained in the Novus Universe of the Primordial Cosmos as his eyes were calm without an ounce of fear while gazing towards the stellar space that had begun to vibrate!
THRUM!
The Cosmic Holy Land was nowhere to be seen. The grand Library had virtually disappeared! Only the cluster of Law and Dao Galaxies that held Spiritual Herbs and Fruits remained glittering in space when the spot that Noaj was staring at began to shake, Ruination and Primordial Essence leaking out to open the very space itself as a single figure stepped out of it gracefully.
"..."
Pristinely veiled in white all around, yet Noah felt her penetrating gaze all the way from the place he floated at as an instant later, she arrived before him!
"Curiouser and curiouser…"
Her voice echoed out melodiously as Noah rose up with an expression that was trying to hide his surprise, looking towards this Primordial in shock as her head turned to observe their surroundings and the Cosmos that lay all around them to make up the Infinite Empire.
"I knew your Destiny must be decent to be capable of touching on and affecting reality…I just didn't think you would be so proactive and special that you have actually collected 100 Cosmos to protect while you yourself have forged over 600 million Universes."
Her veiled gaze actually held a hidden appreciation as the 'surprised' Noah before her stumbled to say the words he wanted to say, but he eventually voiced out.
"This is nothing, Esteemed One. I am just doing my best to protect those I can after all the things you mentioned to me all those years!"
Noah felt his own skin and blood crawl when he said these words, finding them distasteful to the utmost as they weren't at all how he thought of this being before him!
But for the future he anticipated, he had to act in such a way- even if it was briefly.
Of course, her words that said he had forged 600 million Universes were false, these only being the Universes that this auxiliary body of his had passively forged while feeding on the connection between the Main Universal Body that was already halfway towards the Cosmic Realm!
The Primordial before him nodded with an appreciative expression as she gazed around while continuing.
"Having collected unique treasures and even powerful beings at the level of Daolords around you…you would have made a perfect candidate for a Champion if your Reality wasn't already blessed with an exceptional one."
…!
She once more spoke confidently of wrong information as she didn't see the figures of Halcyon or Springforge that were currently the strongest under Noah with their Edicts- these beings having disappeared along with the Library from measures that Noah had already put in place as even they didn't know what had occurred!
Noah said nothing as he continued to gaze at the Primordial before him that was trying to glean information about him while he…he was actually bold enough to do even more than that as while hidden in the Ruination Realm, his Universal Body that had already fused with the Blue Slime shone with glorious light as after seeing the full reserves of destiny and fortune, he uttered out impassively.
"Author's Jurisdiction."
WAA!
A grand Jurisdiction of a completed Edict erupted out silently from Noah's combined Universal Body and slime form as with utter contempt, he peered into the secrets of a Primordial while one of his bodies stared right at her face!
His destiny and fortune churned as unlike Hyperion, more than half of these unique resources disappeared instantly at the mere cast of the ability.
"Let the target be…the Primordial standing before my eyes!"
RUMBLE!
The heavy and nearly unlovable Essence of Reality lying within the depth of the Origin of the Blue Slime churned as they rose up, bundles of information being collected as Noah was shown the "aspects" or the status sheet of the existence before his eyes.
He peered into the secrets of the Existence that told him he would have made a great Champion if a perfect one wasn't already present in his Reality!
Cecilia Volantis :: A Higher Existence that has stepped on the path of consolidating her Flames of Edicts and has already obtained the lowest tier ********* ****. Female, Cosmic Filament Rank, 121 Million Years Old. Cecilia is an average Higher Existences tasked with overseeing a few Emerging Realities. Her power extends to be capable of instituting Systems in the unique souls of existences within these Realities as with their survival, she can passively draw units of the Essence of Reality from the Realities under her jurisdiction through the ********** ****. Due to this jurisdiction, she is also bound to not interfere with the lives of the existences within this Reality by a large extent apart from the chosen Champion. Only in certain exceptions can the oversight of her jurisdiction be overcome. Cecilia uniquely holds the Bloodlines of Primordial, Rosary, Deceiver, Refulgence, Samsara, Erosion, Insurgent, Songbird, Phlogiston, Avant-garde, Velocity, Sagacious, Manipulator, and Charlatan. She burns with the ambition to rise through the ranks of power as becoming an Elder Primordial is something she only sees as a stepping stone…
….!
Chapter 1346 - Innumerable Paths, I Choose A Single One! II
The second portion of the ridiculous aspects of a Primordial continues to bloom on golden text boxes as this time, it showed the many Daos, Edicts, and possibilities of intervening in time with Author's Jurisdiction.
[Skill(s)]...[Law(s)]...[Authority(s)]...[Dao(s)]...[Nomological Edict(s) :: Greater Nomological Edict of the Primordial- 100%, Greater Nomological Edict of Rosary- 100%, Greater Nomological Edict of Deceiver 100%, Greater Nomological Edict of Refulgence - 100%, Greater Nomological Edict of Samsara- 100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Erosion- 100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Insurgent -100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Songbird -100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Phlogiston- 100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Avante-garde -100%...]...[Current Point in Time]...[Past Points in Time]...
"..."
A Status sheet exceeding everything Noah had seen before appeared before his eyes as it was filled with multiple completed GREATER Nomological Edicts and many MINOR ones!
The most pressing thing was the fact that this existence before Noah's eyes had already exceeded the Cosmic Realm and entered the Cosmic Filament Realm, such a thing throwing many possible plans from Noah out of the window as he also thought about Hyperion's plans.
This being was working with a terrifying force of more than likely evolved Primordial Beasts similar to it or something else entirely as the final plan of these beings was not Aegon…but this Primordial Cecilia Volantis!
It made one theorize many things on how exactly they planned to spill the True Blood of this Primordial…
But going even further, Noah's eyes honed in on the listed GREATER Nomological Edict of Primordial. He wondered how far different this was to the Cosmic Primordial Dao…and whether it was a direct relation to Primordials as their first Edict was this!
Then, there was the set of words that could not be seen even with Author's Jurisdiction. Words that dealt with the usage of the Flames of Edicts being put together to form something glorious. Something so fantastical that Primordials used it as a form of Jurisdiction to passively obtain the Essence of Reality from Realities that they managed!
This…was how they continued to obtain dense reserves of the Essence of Reality that they utilized to bend Realities to their will and forge Systems on the Champions they chose.
And something unique that many did not know was that Primordials were limited in what they could do within a Reality, where even though at this moment that Cecilia knew of the existence of the Ender of Reality, she could only make sure that she had raised a strong enough Champion to withstand it! Only in certain circumstances could she make a move…and Noah had to find out what these circumstances were.
Noah's eyes gazed at the status sheet with an illuminating gaze as with the golden pen to make possible changes in his hands, he saw just the thought of wanting to alter the reality of this existence was continuing to cause his Destiny and Fortune to leak out constantly as even though he wanted until he had full reserves, they were nearly depleted just seconds into Author's Jurisdiction.
"Cancel."
WAA!
His command echoed out as the status sheet he had memorized faded! In the Novus Universe, one of his bodies stared at the Primordial Cecilia right in her veiled face as she had no idea she had her details peered through by the being the was floating in front of.
Towards her assertion that he would have made a great Champion had one not already been active, he should his head while speaking deprecatingly.
"Someone like me isn't cut out to be a Champion. So I will let this glory fall upon others' shoulders!"
WAA!
His eyes spoke the truth as Cecilia's veiled head looked at him closely before nodding, her voice continuing to echo out.
"Protect your cluster of Cosmos for now and wait for the Champion to clear the folds of Primordial Beasts. I would tell you to lend him a hand…but the strength I've given him should be more than enough for anything he comes to face. Ah, alright…that's more than enough…"
Her voice towards the end seemed to have spent as much of its focus and energy on Noah as it could tolerate, the figure of this Primordial gazing at the surrounding Cosmos Noah had brought together as with a nod, she began to be wrapped around harmoniously by Primordial essence and the essence of Ruination.
She had spoken to this lower existence that wasn't even a Champion for far too long, his destiny being elevated as high as an unborn champion but being unlucky enough not to be one!
There were some existences like him across the myriad of Realities.
They were special, but at the end of the day- they would not surpass the Champions of their Reality as they wouldn't amount to much, simply forever bound to their Reality for millions of years until their soul wastes away and they undergo True Annihilation!
'To never be able to gaze upon the lands that Primordials and Elder Primordials step on…what poor souls these existences are!'
With a paying gaze, she began to disappear as she left behind one last message with an impassive voice.
"Strive to defend your home. It is the only important thing you will have in all your life."
WAP!
With such words, she disappeared!
Noah's eyes flashed sharply as he nearly sneered, wanting to voice out that this home of his- this Reality of his was not the most important thing that he would have in all his life!
Even as she gave advice and talked to him, he couldn't help but sense the arrogance and pride in the gaze of this being as she truly expected him to be locked in into this Reality and forever remain under the shadow of the being she made Champion.
If Noah wanted to, he could have taken the route of subduing Aegon and then coming under her heel to obtain a System, and he could have even jumped up and down when he met her today to align himself with her! There were many paths and possibilities that he could take but…
"I will only choose one!"
RUMBLE!
His body began to release waves of power as his eyes became domineering and dripped with majesty!
He would choose a single path of the countless ones waiting for him, a path that he walked towards the path of strength with his own forged power and might.
Might great enough to not only subdue his enemies, but to also help his family- whether the current one he was building or the past one he would not let go.
Might that when he gazed towards a Primordial…he would not have to put on an act nor take their prideful and pitying gazes towards him as an existence Lesser than them!
And it was possible for him to achieve this!
He had just forged a GREATER Edict in less than a minute as this was only the first, and the Systems that Primordials were so proud of- he would simply make his own.
For this, he gazed towards the directing of the vast Primordial Sea as Noah knew it was soon time for him to have another dance with an Ender of Reality.
For him to utilize the blueprint of the Primordial Epitaph that Eckert gave him as he forged a System of his own, with the only resource being the abstruse Essence of Reality!
"Speaking of…"
He gazed towards the direction where the Cosmic Holy Land and Library were hidden from the prying gaze of the Primordial- the Cosmic Filament Core that only the master of the Infinite Empire could freely move around in or even find as his eyes sparked with flames for something else he had to do.
"Let's get to Devouring Universes and obtaining more of the Essence of Reality, hmm?"
Just as the aura and might of a Primordial faded from the Infinite Empire, Noah was ready to watch the Universal Singularity as he planned to devour its product to obtain his own Essence of Reality- however small it would be!
Chapter 1347 - Swallowing Entire Universes!
Aegon stared above the crimson Ruination Sea around him as when he closed his eyes to feel a certain aura he was familiar with, he found that he could not sense it anymore!
It was the aura of someone tied to him in a major way and yet not, someone that seemed far away and was yet so close.
'Always so fleeting…'
His eyes flashed sharply as this being did not stay long when she came into this Reality, and every action she took continued to remind him of his position here.
The position of the Champion of a Reality.
'Bound to forever protect Reality with a System that is restricted to this Reality!'
The life of a Champion! It was something no other beings had to worry or think about, but Champions themselves faced these dilemmas daily.
But when it came to Aegon…he was confident of his power. This confidence stemmed from repeated results and history for Millions of years that taught him a single thing- invincibility!
Hell, even now he was about to finish the forging of another Edict after just a day as he was working to complete two more before the final battle broke out.
Who else could do such a thing apart from him?!
'And also…' His gaze left the high depths he was trying to see as they went below, noticing the figure of Havenbreaker coming his way just minutes after Cecilia had left!
'...I have someone that I need to protect in this Reality!'
His cold and impassive eyes flashed with emotion as he looked at the face of the being he never thought he could obtain, and yet his own power and influence had drawn her in as he now had her all to himself.
"My Champion…" She called out like a lullaby as a rare smile appeared over Aegon's lips, the thought of Cecilia already fading away as the champion became fixated on the only existence who was still by his side in his Primordial Empire!
—
The ability of Esurient True Devouring stemmed from Primordial Beasts as it was their main pathway through Realms.
Unique to them, they used it to devour Universes and Cosmos as they obtained wisps of the Essence of Reality which when it built up in large amounts within their bodies…they were elevated to the rank of Grand Primordial Beasts and eventually- a unique beasts among them would rise to become an Ender of Reality!
Noah could utilize this ability as the rewards he would get were reduced heavily as he wasn't a Primordial Beast himself, but…
'I don't need to obtain too much…just enough for altering Reality towards my favor!'
Noah had such a thought as he watched a Universal Singularity bloom on a Cosmos at the very edges of the Infinite Empire.
With the addition of 99 more Cosmos, the vital essence the Cosmic Filament Core had access to had been Greater elevated as it could form multiple Universes by itself!
This meant that even with the passage of time, the Infinite Empire under Noah could continue to expand indefinitely as the Cosmic Core continued to produce more and more Universes.
But at this moment…the Universes to bloom from the Universal Singularities would all be getting devoured by Noah. All of the blank Universes that did not have any intellingent life forms would have the same result as what Noah was about to do right now.
'What exactly will a Universe taste like, I wonder?'
He had a devilish smile on his face as after he affirmed with Reader's Foresight and hid vast fortune and destiny of the Primordial Cecilia's disappearance around him, his jaws opened wide while he stared at the newly blooming Universe!
"Esurient True Devouring!"
RUMBLE!
The chaotic crimson seas Noah floated in surged in fervor.
The Universe that had just been born trembled as from Noah's jaws, a shocking suction force emanated out as it seemed something denser than even a Quasar was rotating madly inside his mouth!
The boundaries of the blank Universe were the first to go as seconds later, the very structure of this Universe itself began to falter and break as it turned into streams of light that were sucked into Noah's mouth.
It caused Noah's eyes to snap wide open as he felt a unique feeling within his Origin, but even more so in his mouth as for the taste of a Universe…
'Cheesecake?' He didn't know if his brain was playing tricks on him, but he truly recalled deserts he enjoyed back on a blue planet as inside his Origin, he saw the familiar scene that had appeared on the body of the Blue Slime as there…he saw the birth and blooming of the Essence of Reality as at this moment, Noah's very own Origin obtained this fantastical essence.
Essence for him to utilize in a full casting of Author's Jurisdiction as he altered something significant about himself or others- and the question remained on what this charge would be.
The Nomological Edict of Kismet swarmed around him for this as he went on to devour an entire Universe, and the Cosmic Filament Core would have enough vital essence to cause the Universal Singularities of at least 10 Universes for Noah to devour on this day!
Slowly but surely, he made his progress forward.
The birth of Daos, Edicts, treasures…all of this was crucial as it further complemented Noah and his strength, but nothing was as significant as the Runic Dao Line Enhancers that he could brand hundreds of onto the Dao Lines of deconstructed Daos.
The crazy number of percentages that had crossed a billion in number had gradually been getting surpassed in the past few days, with Noah having already tripled this number due to all the new Daos he obtained throughout the Infinite Empire and the nigh endless Dao Line Enhancers he had!
So in terms of strength…he was truly Unrivaled as only two other beings on this Reality could still look down upon him.
And it was time for him to go meet one of these beings for a grand purpose, Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone being the one to flash away from the Infinite Empire as his position was set for…the boundless Primordial Sea!
Chapter 1348 - A Tyrant And An Ender Of Reality I
Noah's own destiny and the essence of Kismet told him many paths he could take, but the strongest one remained a path of holding back and reserving his power and resources for a significant upcoming event.
His reserves of the Essence of Reality that he was currently building up from Devouring Universes and even those within the Blue Slime…he could use all them to quickly bring two or three Edicts to completion and obtain more Flames to increase the propagation of the True Blood of Higher Existences, but Kismet showed him that this wasn't the most crucial thing he could do with this rare essence!
The most crucial was for the usage to forge the abstruse System that after discerning with the Nomological Edict of Kismet, it was bound to be the Infinite System!
Since he began, the one special feature he had was Infinite Mana. An infinite resource that nobody else enjoyed, and the thing that caused him to be where he was now.
So what if he expanded upon it? What if he made himself even wilder as Mana…wasn't the only thing he had an infinite amount of?! What if the aspect of this Infinite System truly stood for what it meant as it would not be made up of a single System but…as many as Noah could forge?!
RUMBLE!
Destiny and fortune weaved chaotically at the mere thought of such possibilities. But this was the reason for his restraint with the Essence of Reality this whole time!
Thus, Noah held himself back as while his main bodies continued to oversee everything around the Infinite Empire, his Primordial Ruination Clone set off towards the Primordial Sea to once more meet the anomaly that was Hyperion.
The Cosmic Primordial Beast that was currently experimenting on a special existence to try and forge a construct that only Primordials made- Systems born for Champions that were restricted to their Reality!
Noah teleported at the border of this being's home as he saw the undulating field of essence that still covered every inch of it.
'Should be from the Flames of one of his Edicts?'
The Primordial Ruination Clone leaned back comfortably on the Throne of Tyranny as he looked at the point where the Ruination Sea met with the Primordial Sea, and the instituted barrier that was made by a single being due to what he did.
He held a light smile as with an entirely calm expression and excited eyes for what was to come, he called out boisterously!
"HYPERION!"
THRUM!
—
"Hyperion!"
A reverberating shout that sunk into the Primordial Sea and caused the head of all Primordial Beasts to rise with a dangerous flash of light, this voice reminding some of them of a terrible enemy they had faced not too long ago!
The shout even caused the blank Stormdust who was recovering in the Primordial Sea to rouse up as his body brimmed with power, his illustrious Origin now showing a few billion universes as his body gave off a unique feeling of power after it had been bathed in so much Essence of Reality.
A flash of wrath crossed through his eyes as his crimson hair danced wildly, his gaze watching the few hundreds Cosmos remaining in the surroundings that Hyperion had not devoured as well as the Antiquities, Daolords, and Forefathers that had fully become Tainted Ones under the banner of Primordial Beasts. All of them only had a single question- why they would be hearing the voice of that tyrannical being here!
But none of them made any moves.
They knew who was king in this place, so not a single movement was made as they all looked towards the glorious figure of the three eyes Draconic-Elephant Cosmic Primordial Beast that was floating majestically in front of three kneeling Grand Primordial Beasts that had their heads fully bowed down.
The voice had come as a stupendous procession was taking place, the brilliant golden flames of an Edict floating before Hyperion's cold face and the three Grand Primordial Beasts as a portion of the flames spread out and shot into the bodies of the Beasts!
For the Flames of an Edict to be entering other being's bodies, it was nothing other than the handing down of an Edict that only those with completed edicts could do, where even Noah had yet to begin this action as it was one of the many things on his to do list.
THRUM!
The bodies of the Grand Primordial Beasts shook as the essence of an Edict soon began to spread from them, Hyperion looking at them impassively as this was one of the ways he raised powerful Grand Primordial Beasts like the ones Aegon killed who could utilize Edicts!
Only after this process was complete did Hyperion raise his head and recognize the voice that had echoed out.
He wasn't even bothering with Aegon or the Primordial when she was here as he wanted to focus on his work, and he would even further not focus on a being below them per normal but…the intuition of an Ender of Reality sounded in his mind as it made him curious to not brush off the voice that had shouted out!
"Let's see…" His archaic voice echoed out as his enormous body was wrapped by Primordial Essence, disappearing soon after as he left behind three newly elevated Grand Primordial Beasts with Edicts and even more swarms of other Beasts, along with a strengthened Stormdust and the Cosmos under him as he teleported towards the ends of the Primordial Sea.
OOOM!
The edges of the white see danced with the edges of the crimson ruination sea, Hyperion appearing behind the enacted boundary as he gazed forward with the majesty of an Ender of Reality towards the being that had called out to him.
Hyperion's three eyes squinted when he saw this being as he saw the expression and eyes of someone who seemingly had everything in the palm of their hands- an expression someone would have where if they were in the middle of playing a game, they knew they had won even before they made the last move!
'Now what exactly would give a human that hasn't even formed his Cosmos such a look?'
Hyperion had some time to entertain after the recent failures as since the being before him sat on a throne with hundreds of golden white swords shooting out gloriously, he also waved his hands to form a throne of Primordial Essence that his body which was vaster than any Universe sat on fantastically.
The Tyrant upon a throne was merely the size of a few galaxies while the Ender of Reality was the size of multiple Universes, these beings staring at each other with their own thoughts as it painted a stark contrast and a magnificent scene at this time!
The Tyrant tapped on his throne as with an austere air of destiny and fortune swirling around him, he spoke out something that caused the vast throne of Primordial Essence to tremble.
"Do you know anyone that would be in need of a Primordial Epitaph by any chance?"
RUMBLE!
Direct and forward. While situated with the regality of an Emperor and being many proportions smaller than the Ender of Reality, the Tyrant's shadow and grace could be seen to be even larger than the being opposite to him merely from how he carried himself!
His single sentence caused the weaving of destiny to turn chaotic as with it, the balance of a Reality hung on the line!
Chapter 1349 - A Tyrant And An Ender Of Reality! II
Failure.
It was something Hyperion was very much used to over his millions of years of life!
When he first woke as a fledgling Primordial Beast and was pushed around those older within the Primordial Sea. When trying to devour his first Cosmos as another Grand Primordial Beast commanded him to step back as he watched what he found first be taken away. Failing in the fusion of Daos and Laws when he first put his attention towards Edicts…
There were many failures throughout his life as his latest one was the inability to do what Primordials could!
The inability to forge a Primordial Epitaph that they could design with ease and implement to multiple existences across different Realities.
For millions of years, he had struggled as even after he amassed large reserves of the Essence of Reality- he was still just in the process of experimenting as he used the soul of a slightly special existence within this Reality to see if he could etch his very own Primordial Epitaph with his own concepts for a System. And even now…he was unsuccessful. Yet at this moment…
"Do you know anyone that would be in need of a Primordial Epitaph by any chance?"
…!
A single human sat cooly within a glorious Throne as he voiced out such a question! A question that stood at the root of his latest failure as it was something that was one of the only sore spots this Cosmic Primordial Beast had! It wasn't even truly a question as Hyperion's mind moved quickly with him realizing many things, one of the first being that he had sorely underestimated this being before his eyes as he knew something as crucial as him looking for anyways possible to forge a Primordial Epitaph!
Even at this moment as his eyes stared at him filled with confidence, he wanted to group him along the lines of an existence like Aegon whose own arrogance and belief in his strength would be his ultimate undoing.
But Hyperion could not do this.
THRUM!
His Destiny had begun to vibrate the moment this being spoken out, his ancient eyes gazing up at the invisible golden sea that only he could observe as his body began to undulate with terrifying waves of strength!
The throne made of Primordial Essence disappeared as with a flash, Hyperion was gone from the boundary of the Primordial Sea that negated nearly all damage as he appeared right in front of the Tyrant still sitting calmly on the throne!
"..."
His single Primordial Eye of the Kaiser alone was larger than even the throne that this existence sat on, and yet he wasn't flustered in the least when he stared at the countless golden swords etched within the golden shimmering eye.
Neither side spoke as Hyperion's terrifying Draconic-Elephantine body shone with utter titanous majesty, and yet the being the size of his mere eye on his throne continued to stare calmly as not a single ounce of defensive skills were activated!
Hyperion gazed at this being at such a close distance with his Primordial Eye of the Kaiser as even then…he could not glean anything about him. But the subject matter was something close to his heart…so Hyperion put aside his immense pride as his voice thundered out coldly.
"How exactly would you have found out about that?"
WAA!
His voice boomed out in waves as it caused the surroundings to tremble, and yet the Tyrant upon his throne replied back with a collected voice as he leaned back and tapped on his throne.
"Does it really matter how?"
Did it matter? Whether it was from his own personal ability or a Dao, or even an Edict- did any of it matter after he had arrived at this point? To Hyperion, the answer was clear!
"No. You are no Champion, and yet you seek someone in need of a Primordial Epitaph. The question had to be asked as the most important one now is how you could have gotten your hands on it and whether you truly have it."
…!
If one was not a champion, how could they even dream of obtaining even the structure of the core that lay behind a System? Even though Hyperion had failed in too many attempts to achieve what he wanted, he would not get roused up by the mere words of another existence lesser than him until what he saw had actual logic and feasibility into it.
Yet towards his words, the human he had gained slight interest in within the Primordial Empire smiled mischievously as he spoke shocking words.
"No. Because unlike some existences, I am not bound and confined within my Reality for as long as I live."
BOOOM!
The words were like dousing galaxies full of fuel into a burning inferno, the Primordial Eye of the Kaiser shining dangerously as an instant later, golden flames bloomed!
Golden flames that came from none other than the Flames of an Edict as they painted all the surroundings aurelian, going forward to cover everything in the surroundings as they circled around the Throne of Tyranny dangerously.
WAA!
The golden swords on the backrest of the throne glistened as the Quasi-Cosmic treasures took in temperatures that would make them melt if they remained in these surroundings long enough, but Noah himself was unbothered as an instant later, golden flames of Kismet erupted around and covered his entire body as he looked an emperor bathed in gold, his voice still ringing out even as Hyperion nearly drowned him in flames.
"An Ender of Reality forever confided to this Reality, his only route of freedom being nothing other than death…what a sad concept that is."
BZZT!
Towards an Ender of Reality, he said this!
Towards a being a Realm higher than him...he said this!
Every word he spoke caused the Primordial Eye of the Kaiser to shine even more dangerously as the golden swords within it spun madly, the Cosmic Primordial Beast truly becoming roused as a subject at the depths of his heart- something nobody else should know nor should they be able to talk to him about…it was being put out in the open!
Chapter 1350 - A Tyrant And An Ender Of Reality! III
"There are countless life forms born across the endless Cosmos with a Reality…but the most unfortunate ones to look at have to be Primordial Beasts."
Situated upon a throne, the voice of a being surrounded by the Flames of a completed Edict continued to speak calmly as he gazed into the Primordial Eye of the roused Cosmic Beast!
"Born only for the purpose of destroying their home as the moment this is completed, they perish. No lives of their own. No purpose…just nothing. Even the most powerful one gaining the title of the Ender of Reality cannot change this as his only path is to be eliminated by the tools of Primordials or perish with their very own home."
WAA!
"It is an unfortunate life…and yet here is a unique Ender of Reality that wants to change this destiny! An Ender of Reality…that has failed thus far."
Blazing.
The entire Ruination Sea was blazing ever higher with golden flames the more that Noah talked, with Hyperion's eyes swirling madly as it seemed like he would burn everything down right here and now when in the next millisecond…
SHAA!
The golden flames disappeared entirely!
Hyperion's two eyes closed entirely as only his third Primordial Eye remained open, shining with an illustrious light that showed off utter coldness! This Ender of Reality gazed towards Noah without an ounce of emotion as his Cosmos was letting out radiant glows of power, listening as the last set of words came out.
"To all your questions and what you seek…I am the answer."
RUMBLE!
Arrogant! Domineering!
The approach wasn't cordial or careful, but the Tyrant came out to tell him that out of all of his failures and for what he sought- he was the solution!
Hyperion gazed at this being silently as his roused emotions settled, his ancient voice coming out for the first time in a while.
"An answer…as if! I could just erase you out of existence right now, and we can see whether you truly are the answer!"
His words were accompanied by the Primordial Eye of the Kaiser shining with a deadly glint, the voice of the Ender of Reality continuing.
"After all…wiping the arrogant look on your face would give great satisfaction."
"Really? You'd be killing a clone of clone as I can be back here with another clone a few seconds later. If it is your hobby, you can go right ahead."
"..."
Silence reigned as the two unflinching beings stared at each other on an impasse.
It was the Tyrant that reached out as he was the one who came here with all the cards!
"Let's not play around. For me to naturally come here, there is something that I want. I will truthfully tell you that I do not care about your struggles as an Ender of Reality, nor whether you will break out of the confines of our Reality!"
…!
"What I care about are my own gains which I have realized I can obtain in a much smoother and quicker fashion if I reach out to an existence as special as you. My wish…is to forge a System as what I lack is the Essence of Reality that you happen to have a lot of! What you lack is an ounce of knowledge on Systems as you hope it is the path that will lead you out of the confines of this Reality…and I have that knowledge!"
"So we do not need to dance around nor play games, O Hyperion!"
RUMBLE!
The name of the Ender of Reality was uttered out freely as to top it all off, the area behind Noah trembled as it began to show an invisible and vast sea of destiny and fortune.
A sea so vast that when Hyperion stared with his titanous Primordial Eye, he did not yet catch the ends of before it was made invisible again!
TAP!
The tapping of the arm rest of the throne resounded as Noah showed off a portion of his Destiny to Hyperion, letting him know that even this portion was vaster than the Champion of Reality and even the Ender of Reality himself!
This was the existence standing before his eyes. This was the message Noah wanted to get across and remind Hyperion.
Do not look at my Realm, just look at the fact that in Destiny alone- I exceed you!
TAP! TAP!
The incessant tap continued as…
"Interesting."
The ancient voice reverberated out.
OOOM!
The titanous body of Hyperion that was multiple Universes large became clouded in a golden light as it rapidly began to reduce down- coming to be a size similar to the being situated upon a throne as when the cloudy golden light disappeared, an entirely different form was present before Noah's eyes.
It wasn't the form of Draconic-Elephantine Primordial Beasts, but the unruly and wild form of a human being sculpted to a wondrous fashion!
An eight pack that seemed to be edging towards ten, sculpted chest and arms that were laid bare, and white hair flowing while shining a silvery light as it landed on the huge shoulders! His gold eyes were piercing as their sharpness alone could hurt others , with his jaw line being entirely too sharp as he would put any currently living men to shame- it was the face of a man within his early 30s that could cause the downfall of Empires.
Luckily, his lower body was covered as light milky colored pants were adorned- a form of Hyperion that had not been seen by anyone in history being revealed at this moment as it was before Noah's very eyes.
"What an interesting human you turned out to be."
WAA!
His voice echoed out as he floated close to Noah, his wild and austere air being no less dominant as his golden eyes flashed with coldness when he spoke.
"Primordial Epitaph or not, whether I even look your way to do what I want to do or whether you get your way…such a thing is impossible to accomplish as we cannot hold the other party accountable. Little human…between me and you, there is no trust."
BZZT!
Arcs of golden light released from his eyes when he spoke as they threatened to smash into the Throne of Tyranny, but the being on it smiled wildly when he heard Hyperions words!
"Trust…is the simplest part of it all." As he spoke, his fingers moved slowly to cause the essence of a GREATER nomological Edict to erupt, a set of fantastical Runic Ecritures blooming between these two beings!
Chapter 1351 - Flames Of Commandment!
{Commandment}
In clear gold, these words were slowly etched with Noah's index finger as the essence of a vibrant Nomological Edict permeated throughout, the Runic Ecriture released waves of power as Noah's voice echoed out in response to it!
"A contract with the binding power of a malleable GREATER Edict…with it, the issue of trust becomes a thing of the past as all there is left is for each one of us to achieve what we want."
"..."
In a calm fashion, the Runic Ecriture of {Commandment} flowed between their two galaxy sized bodies, Noah eyes remaining locked onto the wild and ancient looking human form of Hyperion as his silver white hair danced wildly on his shoulders, his eyes carrying innumerable lights as he gazed towards Noah coldly.
"Just the locks of a GREATER Edict? And not even a completed one?" His words carried a hint of disdain as there was finally a deficient field found in the being situated upon his throne that seemed to know of too many things.
Noah raised his eyes at such words as with a glimmer, he leaned back on his throne while commanding the Runic Ecriture he had drawn out to swirl at the top of his palm.
"Hold on a second…"
—-
In the Infinite Empire, Noah's grand Universal Form could be seen devouring the last bits of the tenth Universe, his jaws closing with a glimmer of light as he licked his lips at the taste of the Universe! It was a feeling that one could get addicted to the longer they spent doing it, with Noah only bringing himself to stop as the Cosmos had produced the maximum it could at this time.
After a day, more Universal singularities could bloom into new Universes as for now, Noah stared at the results of the Esurient True Devouring that granted him a small puddle of the Essence of Reality!
'A puddle…but it should be enough for a simple change…'
A simple change! Noah wanted to do this with the little Essence of Reality he had just gathered as the larger cluster had to be saved for what was to come!
"Author's Jurisdiction."
THRUM!
The essence of the Nomological Edict of Kismet bloomed as its flames raged to tinge Noah's purple blue Universal Form gold, his over 50 billion Universes tinged and glowing gorgeously as Noah chose himself as the target and glanced at his Status Sheet.
Noah Osmont :: A Normal Existence that has...[Nomological Edict(s) :: Greater Nomological Edict of Samsara - 100%, Greater Nomological Edict of Commandment - 1%, Minor Nomological Edict of Cessation - 12%, Minor Nomological Edict of Kismet - 100%, Minor Nomological Edict of Amelioration - 24%, Minor Nomological Edict of Bulwark - 12%, Minor Nomological Edict of Forgemaster - 55%, Minor Nomological Edict of Kairos -7%]...[Current Point in Time]...[Past Points in Time]...
"Hmm…." A golden pen appeared on his hands as with it, the small puddle of the Essence of Reality began to move wildly as it awaited for the direction of change- for the Jurisdiction to be laid down!
Noah moved with a sharp gaze as he knew what he wanted, going forward to edit the percentage of the GREATER Nomological Edict of Commandment from 1% to 100%.
BZZZZT!
Awe inspiring power erupted out as the Essence of Reality lying dormant within Noah's Origin shot out, digging deeper into his Origin as it wrapped around a portion of his soul and sank its austere jaws in!
"...!" Immense pain as if countless needles were prickling his very heart could be felt as Noah saw the edited change of 100% he made turn from illusory and gradually became real, the immense pain he felt disappearing as a feeling of immense satisfaction began to suffuse throughout!
OOOM!
The jurisdiction of an Author was utilized.
Forcefully, an alteration was made as no resources like Cosmic Resource Points or anything was utilized- just the price of the Essence of Reality to make a permanent change as a millisecond later…another golden flame bloomed!
A golden flame that came with it the gorgeous drops of golden blood- the True Blood of Higher Existences as it elevated Noah even closer to his goals! The Flames of Commandment burned brightly as Noah saw the edited status sheet fade, the first use of Author's Jurisdiction being the instant change of the progression of a GREATER edict from 1% to 100%.
One golden text faded as another one rose before his eyes.
Flames of Commandment :: The Flames of Commandment bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of Commandment. The title of Commandment Bloodline Progenitor is granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 9 other Existences into your Bloodline. Followers of the Bloodline of Commandment gain an increased chance of comprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the required laws and daos to be an eventuality. As the architect of this Bloodline, you are granted the ability of Narrative Reality Manipulation that can be utilized with the essence of Commandment. As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of Commandment, you are granted +500,000,000% to All Parameters, +500,000,000% to True Defense, and +500,000,000% to True Annihilatory Damage. All abilities that utilize the essence of Commandment also have their resource requirement cut down by half as you can write as many Runic Ectritures as your mana can handle, and your Origin begins to produce 100 nanoliters of the True Blood of a Higher Existence within your body daily.
As simple as that…reality was altered in a unique fashion as a profound Flame was born!
Compared to the previously completed edicts, this one granted Noah the largest number of nanoliters of True Blood daily, along with its boosts being utterly horrific as they added half a billion to 3 fantastic parameters. Of course, there was also the fact that Noah was not limited to 10 words as he could do whatever his mana saw as the limit!
But all of this was viewed by Noah in passing as far away from the Infinite Empire where this Edict was completed, a change occurred between the figure of the laid back Tyrant upon his throne and the wild archaic human form of an Ender of Reality.
The glimmering Runic Ecriture of {Commandment} began to shine an even greater shade of gold as just a few milliseconds after Noah had said hold on to Hyperion's comments of this Edict not even being a complete one…its Flames erupted out in defiance as Hyperion's stellar eyes released a blinding radiance at such a scene!
Chapter 1352 - Bound By The Flames Of An Edict!
"There we go. A completed GREATER Edict that should be the highest stage of an Edict even achieved by you…we shall simply make guidelines by this Edict."
Noah voiced out with a light smile as he watched the golden flames of Commandment burn brightly, the speechless majestic expression on Hyperion being interesting to look at as this being took a few seconds without speaking after what Noah did!
His stellar eyes gazed forward coldly as he seemed to be calculating countless things, his archaic voice only coming out as Noah continued his incessant tapping on his armrest.
"You truly have a Primordial Epitaph?"
His question didn't show his surprise for the Edict that was completed in less than a second as he reverted back to the most important issue.
Noah looked at this being seriously as he proceeded to stand up from his Throne of Tyranny, waving his hands and causing it to disappear as he and Hyperion floated alone in the edges of the Ruination Sea!
"I would not waste your time or mine with all of this if it wasn't the case."
With a gaze of confidence and power, he spoke out as Hyperion…gave a light nod towards him!
THRUM!
The moment this nod was given, Noah's vast seas of fortune and destiny spread out across his Origin seethed as it expanded even further.
On Hyperion's side, his eyes flashed with a gold light as even without gazing towards his seas of destiny, he also felt it expanding for the first time in millions of years as it showed off the possible prospects of the future to come opening up to other paths that were not possible!
But it wasn't just them as this single nod that Hyperion gave sealed the fate and destiny of many beings as the weaving of destiny of their Reality itself began to steer into another direction.
With the nod…Noah smiled as the golden flames of Commandment bloomed from his body, his fingers moving within the Ruination Sea as he wrote out unique Runic Ecritures that were not for manifesting attacks or for defending- but for another purpose entirely!
{Contract of Commandment- The Two Parties Shall Work Together Until Both of Their Systems are Constructed Successfully}
OOOM!
The first commandment was laid out as it was written twice, the words burning with the golden flames of Commandment as they pulsed patiently- waiting to be taken in by the respective parties as they carried with them unique waves capable of slight alterations to Reality.
This was one of the reasons for the forging of Commandment! Of an edict that dealt with ruling and laws that had to be followed! It was a decree that could be used greatly for contracts between powerful beings.
{Contract of Commandment- Noah Osmont Will Provide a Primordial Epitaph and Contribute to the Research, while Hyperion Will Provide the Required Essence of Reality to Research and Complete Both Systems}
{Contract of Commandment- Betrayal From Any Side Means True Death, the Loss of All Edicts, Daos, Laws, and All Memories}
…!
"Anything else I should add?"
WAA!
Noah spoke out calmly while watching the golden flaming Runic Ecritures that came in two pairs, one for him- and one for Hyperion who gazed at them coldly with his stellar eyes. His own essence waved out in a terrific fashion as he looked at the Runic Ecritures deeply- seeing the unique power they held within as what their will would impose on those that it bound!
"These bindings will have to enter the depths of one's very own origin." His voice calmly echoed out.
"Yes." Noah's heart was calm as he replied.
"So then…why is your main body not here?"
"..."
Hyperion gazed towards Noah questioningly as he attacked a root problem on the other side, Noah glancing at him calmly as spatial fluctuations waved out beside the Primordial Ruination Clone, another figure that looked just like him appearing!
Black hair dancing wildly and a devilishly handsome body, it was one of Noah's Human bodies that appeared, Hyperion gazing towards it up and down as his eyes even released golden flames to gaze at him deeply before he nodded once more- his figure then moving in a shocking fashion as he grabbed the three of the six Contracts of Commandments floating between them, bringing them towards his jaws as he swallowed them in large gulps!
…!
Quick, efficient, and without an ounce of regret as opposite to him, Noah did the same. The Runic Ecritures disappeared into his body as they sunk into his very origin, his senses returning feedback to him as Hyperion truly did not even try to stop the Contracts of Commandment from melding into his Origin and soul, binding him to do nothing other than work to achieve a System for both him and the existence before his eyes.
OOOM!
Under the Flames of a GREATER Edict, two existences were bound together to achieve but a single goal!
The construction of a System for the both of them as one sought to use it as a means to escape the unchangeable destiny of Primordial Beasts, and the other wished for even greater glory and strength as he sought it through such a path.
When everything was done, storms of destiny waved around them madly as two Noahs could be seen with a smile, Hyperion's figure still as cold as ever as his body rumbled with golden smoke to change back into the glorious figure of the Draconic-Elephant Primordial Beast.
"Let's go."
With a domineering tone, his figure turned into a streak of light towards the Primordial Sea behind them, the transparent barrier that had been around it this whole time fading away as Noah followed the glorious image of Hyperion and was able to sink into the sea without any problems!
The last time he was within the Primordial Sea…he was invading. This time around, he was being led into it by its very own Emperor as the tides of destiny could truly change too fast!
The most powerful Primordial Beast led the way forward as Noah followed, the Grand and Lesser Primordial Beasts looking towards their direction in shock as they would not be the only ones.
A Tyrant and an Ender of Reality were bound by a contract as they both moved into the depths of the Primordial Sea- the product that would come out from their temporary alignment being something that would change the very balance of more than just the Reality they were currently in!
Chapter 1353 - A Scene Atop The Emperor's Tower!
Within the vast Infinite Empire.
Inside of the Dark Universe where the very core of the Cosmic Filament was hidden, there was a certain Galaxy that only privileged beings could enter!
This area was what used to be the core area of the Spiritual Land where Noah experimented in constructing all sorts of architecture from different cultures, with the current architecture in focus being a high rise skyscraper made of clear reinforced glass where at its very peak…there lay an exquisitely designed open roof jacuzzi that bubbled with golden liquid essence for its spice of water.
All around this skyscraper were slightly smaller ones as they formed a futuristic city, with humans and existences of other races occasionally being seen flying about as not a single one came close to the tallest skyscraper that was known as the Emperor's Tower.
This Emperor's Tower was vast as its rooftop pool was shaped in a square fashion, with the center of this bubbling jacuzzi having an elevated area that held an abundance of Spiritual Fruits and drinks shining with a myriad of colors could be seen. Around this elevated area, the flawless curvaceous figures of the few privileged women within the Infinite Empire could be seen as after they introduced Halcyon and Springforge to the Library to further elevate their power- Adelaide and the others decided that a spa treatment should be next to get to know everyone better.
It started with enjoying the bubbling jacuzzi that was filled with the essence of Destiny as the powerful women were talking about many things. They had their own privacy as they released their blessings freely in the pool, with the figure of Barbatos being the most prominent as she sat at the edge with both of her arms outstretched freely!
Halcyon and Springforge were nearby talking with Adelaide, Athena, Elena, Anna, and Valentina as they each held royal glasses swimming with purple shining liquid.
"That covers most of the things to do with this Infinite Empire…but what about the man himself? You all talk very little about the anomaly that is Noah Osmont."
WAA!
Springforge spoke out straightforwardly as always as even Halcyon's ears perked up, but it was Barbatos's voice that perked up lazily as she floated in the bubbling pool of destiny, her two bountiful blessings floating on the surface.
"What else is there to tell about Little Fish? He seems to always have too many things revolving around him as after one thing, it's always another…"
Her lazy voice seemed to be tinged with annoyance as the women around smiled in agreement, with Elena being the one to speak out with a fervent gaze.
"What more do you need to know but the fact that he shall be the one to usher in a brand new order into this Reality and all other Realities out there…the one to ascend through the ranks of power as nothing will stand by his side-!" Elena's eyes were fiery as her silver hair shone brightly, Athena's bronze skin appearing as she covered Elena's mouth while speaking out with her eyes rolling.
"Some of us can get a bit heated up when talking about him, but apart from everything else…he keeps a lot of him to himself as getting him to share anything is hard."
"..."
Her words brought a sense of realism as they made all the women in the surroundings sigh, Anna refilling her drink as she replied with grace.
"Getting any powerful being to share their emotions is hard enough, but how can you get the guy who literally has skills to make himself invincible and is even trying to bend Reality to make himself into an unshakable being…how do you tell such a being to be vulnerable? How do you tell him to lower his defenses and share things even deeper aside from his goals?"
How do you get someone trying to be invulnerable to be open and vulnerable with you?!
It was a question that stung the hearts of too many beings atop this skyscraper as the lazy voice of Barbatos was the one to steer the conversation again.
"If there's anyone he's shared more things with, it has to be Sis Adelaide…"
…!
Her nonchalant words caused all eyes to dangerously hone in onto Adelaide as she nearly choked on her drink, clearing her throat gracefully as she gave the floating Barbatos a cold look while shaking her head.
"What things, Sis Adelaide? You know how preoccupied he is recently, with even his clones doing this and that. You might find the whole Reality is already conquered by him before he decides to spend some real time with us…"
Athena voiced out with yearning as she looked towards Adelaide, the Ice Queen feeling all gazes land on her as she felt an immense weight on her shoulders!
She looked at all the beings around her, even the lazily floating Barbatos that had raised her head and was looking towards her direction as all she could see were beings that cared about Noah and wanted to help him in any way.
'They all just want to help him…'
She sighed as she moved her wet hair down her shoulders as she spoke while staring out into the expansive sky!
"You see, he has the capability to go back in time and undo many things…but he cannot undo the most important thing as a person he wants to save…does not want to be saved!"
…!
The ears of all beings atop the skyscraper perked up as they listened with rapt attention, Adelaide narrating an issue Noah had been having that he even spoke to her about it at one point just to vent his emotions.
Everybody listened with their utmost attention as they rarely got to learn in depth things about Noah, where at the end of the story, nearly everyone was baffled as Springforge's striking voice came out.
"His mom can't bring herself to leave his abusive father over some form of love? That's just…"
She shook her head as someone of her status could not understand, having lived too many years as her thought process was always on a grand scale as emotions were very controllable things to her!
Silence descended in the surroundings as it was Halcyon who spoke up next.
"If it is a form of love keeping her chained as even Noah himself cannot break her out of it, he just has to bring her another form of love she can't say no to…" Her eyes shone with the essence of Kairos as she spoke, the eyes of Adelaide lighting up as she replied with interest next!
"Something that a mom can love more than her husband or even her son…" Adelaide muttered as the surroundings began to buzz with waves of power.
With her eyes shining with the golden light of Kairos, Halcyon spoke out with a gaze of utter dignity and majesty.
"If he just tells her that she has a grandchild…"
WAA!
Her words reverberated across the rooftop pool as the powerful beings within looked at each other- their eyes shining with dangerous lights!
Chapter 1354 - Research And Development! I
The Primordial Sea!
A unique location that had the terrifying and austere Primordial as their home, even though the environment had been gradually changing in the past few days.
First was the introduction of a few hundred Cosmos that were reduced by nearly half from the devouring by a single Ender of Reality, and then there was the Induction of many Tainted Ones that found their new abodes within this Sea.
At the top of all the Tainted Ones, there was Stormdust that had left everything behind by paying a heavy price- his current Origin being neither human nor Primordial Beast as his body released waves of unstable power. He was currently floating next to the Forefathers and Foremothers that had managed to survive and be by his side, waiting to see what the commotion outside of the Primordial Sea was all about!
And soon enough, changes occurred as the vibrant aura of Hyperion could be felt returning towards them rapidly.
Stormdust and the other Tainted Ones that ranged from Paragons all the way to Forefathers looked towards the oppressive aura of the Ender of Reality as they were shocked to find another being returning with Hyperion, this existence being someone they knew very well as he and his forces had massacred a great deal of beings from their House of Stormdust and was partly the reason why they were currently here!
"This…this!"
OOOM!
Stormdust's body began to tremble with unstable power and strength as the now few billion Universes within his Origin began realizing powerful waves of power.
The being he hated the most at this point in time!
The one who had caused him to move forward into a path that he could not turn away from!
His enemy…why was he flying in calmly into his new home with his hands behind his back as it seemed as if he was returning to his own home?!
"OSMONT!"
RUMBLE!
A crimson light bellowed out from Stormdust as he turned into a crimson flash of light that even towards normal Grand Primordial Beasts- he merely seemed like a flash of crimson light.
His rage and disbelief were palpable as the grand figure of Hyperion watched on calmly, and Noah watched the incoming flash of light as to him…it was actually extremely slow!
The speed that Stormdust had achieved at this moment was nothing to Noah's eyes as in a short period of time, he had already added hundreds of millions of percentage boosts to All Parameters and many more, where just a few minutes ago- he added +500,000,000% to All Parameters from the Flames of Commandment.
So the figure of Stormdust to his current eyes…was negligible as his thoughts moved and wrote a single Runic Ecriture with the Flames of Commandment.
{Bind}
BZZZT!
Space fluctuated as the blazing crimson figure was instantly brought to a halt the moment the written Rune of {Bind} shone gold!
The light of Commandment shone upon him as it did its intended effect, his body that was traveling at a ridiculous velocity becoming stopped instantly as the wind was knocked out of him!
"HUK!" A crude scream was released as Stormdust found not just his body- but his Origin and soul themselves were bound as he couldn't even activate his mana.
…!
It was a terrifying prospect for this being as after having forged a few billion Universes with the aid of the Blood of the Ender of Reality, he thought he could easily exceed Noah! And yet…he was stopped quite literally by a single written Runic word from him.
"..." Hyperion stared at this scene impassively as he continued floating forward, not even paying any heed to this being that was the Head of an entire Faction within the Primordial Empire as Noah did the same!
Their figures flew past him as if he was a mere ant on their path, his use coming later as his body continued to be bound by the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict- his eyes shaking in disbelief as his mental faculties nearly broke down from this event.
Noah and Hyperion's figures sank further into the Primordial Sea as they arrived into an area where only the Ender of Reality could delve in. It was here that the endless rivers of Primordial Essence that led to countless Cosmos sprouted out from- it was this location that could be considered the center lf the Primordial Sea as the essence nearby had already liquefied!
Hyperion turned towards Noah at this moment as he stared at him calmly, Noah knowing what this being was looking for his eyes flashed brightly, taking out a portion of a memory and displaying it outwardly at this moment.
It was the figure of a terrific Blueprint- the figure of the Primordial Epitaph he had obtained from Noah Eckert!
BZZZT!
The surroundings trembled as the mere reproduction of just the design of the Primordial Epitaph, an image of an intricate rectangular shaped construct curved in countless runic lines and formulas weaving into each other came to be.
Its countless lines seemed to constantly be moving around as one could never fully see just what this Primordial Epitaph truly was!
"This…is a recreation of the Primordial Epitaph of something called the Supreme Necromancer System."
Noah's voice echoed out grandly as he recalled Eckert telling him of the first System he gained after the Idle Gaming System- the System that allowed him to bring Primordial Beasts into his fold by killing them!
"Epitaph…" The Archaic voice of Hyperion echoed out grandly the moment the intricate structure of countless moving Runes appeared, his third eye opening wide and committing the first Primordial Epitaph he came across to memory as he then began to analyze everything about it.
If he understood this, he would be able to forge one for himself and possibly find a pathway the restrictions that bound him- so he moved either fervor to get started!
At the same time, Noah's eyes flashed with the Dao of Blueprints and the Dao of Runes- the Nomological Edict of Commandment also blooming out as Noah's left eye then began to glimmer gold, everything being put on the line at this moment to research the Primordial Epitaph before their eyes so they could simply recreate their own Systems there after!
Chapter 1355 - Research And Development! II
The process of researching concepts one was not knowledgeable of before could go many different ways, where one could enjoy the process as they felt enriched…or they would constantly be stuck during this process as they hated it!
Noah was feeling the former emotions as with all of his inquisitive abilities, Daos, and Edicts set up- he felt like he was piercing through grand mysteries that others shouldn't be privy to.
When he looked at the Primordial Epitaph, he saw its form that seemed to always be changing and made up of countless runic lines and symbols interweaving with each other, the Cosmic Dao of Runes and Blueprints having their essence swirling around him as he tried to break down its minute details!
If he could break down the Primordial Epitaph…then he could reconstruct it and even be capable of constructing one that fit his own modifications.
It wasn't just him, but Hyperion was also staring at the Epitaph between them with all of his attention, this being the one thing he was missing as with it in the picture, he wouldn't blindly be wasting the Essence of Reality to try and forge one within Stormdust!
But the construct was something born from Primordials.
Its complexity and breadth were deep as even though two extremely powerful beings were both trying to break it down and understand it simultaneously, it was still something made by something above them in power!
Noah found that when he was close to breaking down the minuscule moving pieces of the constantly moving Runic lines of the Epitaph, they always weaved and melded together as he was stopped from seeing what they were made of and he couldn't proceed any further.
Hyperion was the same as even with his analytical Primordial Eye of the Kaiser that was a stage above a normal Primordial Eye- he still wasn't getting to the root source of this Primordial Epitaph!
It was at this point that Noah's eyes flashed madly, his gaze turning frosty as the essence of Commandment began to leak out wildly from him. He had made it for instances like this where his level was too low to understand it…so he simply wanted to brute force his understanding through it!
'That…is where you come along, my dear Flames of Commandment.'
His thoughts were bright as he looked towards the Flames of Commandment that when he completed them…they granted him the wondrous Narrative Reality Manipulation!
A notch lower than Author's Jurisdiction, but it didn't require fortune and Destiny along with the Essence of Reality to be utilized, even though its effects would not be as wild.
Narrative Reality Manipulation :: The modification and alteration of Reality is something only possible through the abstruse Essence of Reality, but some forms of essence can reach a level just below this and be capable of slight alterations to Reality. The essence of Commandment has reached such a level as the Supreme Cosmic Primordial Dao lies at its base, giving birth to the ability of Narrative Reality Manipulation that allows the user to slightly alter events within thirty seconds in the past up until the present. The changes must occur with the strokes of Runic Ecritures steeped in the Flames of Commandment as if the alteration is too grand, the narration will fail….
An ability of wondrous possibilities that had its own limitations due to what it wanted to achieve, but it was something spectacular nonetheless as Noah called out lightly.
"Narrative Reality Manipulation."
OOOM!
His body released a glow of shocking power as Hyperion was taken out of focus to raise his brows towards him with annoyance, but Noah ignored this as a golden pen had appeared within his hands….along with a golden page before his eyes that described exactly what was happening 30 seconds before up until the present!
His eyes focused as he unique read a narration about himself as he tried to break down the Primordial Epitaph before his eyes into its smallest ingredients unsuccessfully, his golden pen moving towards the golden page and forcefully changing the narration that spoke of him not being able to achieve what he wanted to do!
A passage of what he was doing within the last 40 seconds was altered as a brand new narration appeared before his eyes.
... Noah found that when he was close to breaking down the minuscule moving pieces of the constantly moving Runic lines of the Epitaph, they always weaved and melded together as he was stopped from seeing what they were made of- {But he could overcome whatever was trying to be hidden from his eyes as ever so slowly, he broke down the vast Primordial Epitaph piece by piece!}...
THRUM!
The last sentence in the narration was written in Runic Ecritures as Noah wrote multiple strokes rapidly, changing the narration that was "and he couldn't proceed any further" to something else entirely.
This…was Narrative Reality Manipulation as its effects were clearly seen moments later, Noah feeling his surroundings shaking as the abstruse Primordial Epitaph he couldn't discern the smallest details of before…it began to slowly open itself up in front of his eyes as based on what he wrote, he was deconstructing it piece by piece!
Even though it was vast, he could now somehow look at a single portion and break it down as soon enough, he would be able to understand much more about its composition.
The being opposite to him was looking toward Noah with a sharp light as he hid the surprise within his eyes, where the stupendous Ender of Reality only saw the scene of the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict wrap around Noah, and then his body began to be surrounded by waves of Reality altering essence as his entire surroundings became tinged with a multicolored light!
He…was forcefully altering Reality to fit his needs in comprehending exactly what this Primordial Epitaph was.
It was a ridiculous ability to display as Hyperion felt like he should not be left behind by a being lower in Realm than him in understanding, his body lighting up brightly as he was even more domineering.
Noah was utilizing a GREATER Edict as he could achieve slight alterations in Reality, but Hyperion…he actually had the Essence of Reality to do this and more as at this moment, he focused in on his eyes to be capable of understanding the complex Runic construct before him!
A man and an Ender of Reality thus approached the core truth of a concept only Primordials understood, each of them doing it through their own unique means!
Chapter 1356 - Research And Development! III
"This…!"
"I see…!"
These two words were blurted out at the same time between the two beings surrounding a Primordial Epitaph.
They had made headway into what this Runic construct was at its core, and they came to their conclusions nearly at the same time as their eyes shone with a competitive spirit!
Noah had constantly been surrounded by the majestic essence of the Nomological Edict of Commandment, an unseen golden pen always moving within his hands as he altered the narrated reality atop a golden page only he could see.
Whenever the passage spoke of how complex the structure of the Primordial Epitaph was and how someone of his level couldn't discern it, he rewrote the narration to be capable of slowly understanding it as he couldn't outright write the strokes that said: "Noah entirely understood the Primordial Epitaph in and out"!
Such a thing would require the utilization of the Essence of Reality- with Noah only being capable of making this change through Author's Jurisdiction with an abundant amount of Essence of Reality.
But he achieved a lesser effect of this due to his own power and the Edict of Commandment that had its progression at 100%! If he didn't have this Edict completed, even the simple alterations of Reality would not be possible.
As he did this, Hyperion did something even more domineering as with the usage of the reserves of the Essence of Reality itself, he achieved a similar result!
Out of all the native beings within this Reality, nobody could say they were above the Ender of Reality in terms of their reserves of the Essence of Reality.
So both of them used their means as they came to a conclusion at the same time, Noah looking closely at the Primordial Epitaph as he spoke with confidence and amazement.
"It is not inscribed with the essence of Reality…but small and minute structures made of countless Flames..!"
RUMBLE!
His words were a proclamation of their progress as Hyperion was the one to continue thereafter.
"I've been experimenting on Stormdust by trying to inscribe an Epitaph with the Essence of Reality when this…is actually just the final ingredient."
The Essence of Reality was what came at the end! Before all this, the structure of the Primordial Epitaph was born of…
"Flames of Edicts…multiple Flames of Edicts weaving together into Runes that defined exactly what power the designer intended- the coming together of all of these minuscule flames of Edicts defining the System itself as the Essence of Reality only powered it up!"
WAA!
Yes! They had broken down the Primordial Epitaph before their eyes as the countless weaving of runes were found out to be minuscule structures of things they could only recognize as Flames of Edicts, and the way they weaved around together was capable of defining what the System was and what it could do- with the Essence of Reality coming into play to make it possible.
Systems were born from a combination of a large number of concepts fused into undeniable truths known as Edicts, and these conceptual truths were further put together to simply inscribe the foundation of the System- and only then did the last ingredient to power it up come into play!
Their breakdown of the current Primordial Epitaph before their allowed them to understand it dealt with forcefully binding the wills and origins of dead existences onto oneself, and then numerous Flames of Edicts weaved together to inscribe its other functions such as the fact that one wouldn't require mana to call forth and control the existences bound by the Supreme Necromancer System and many more concepts!
Noah was able to understand this more clearly due to his Dao of Runes and Blueprints- seeing exactly how the bounds of the System were defined as the only problem now was for them to recreate a Primordial Epitaph either their own definitions- and this would give birth to their own Systems!
But…
"We cannot do it."
…!
Noah's gaze turned placid as he was the one to speak out the cold hard truth.
Hyperion's three eyes didn't dim as they shone even brighter at Noah's words, his golden tusks and elephantine trunk rising up madly as he also echoed out, but with an additional word.
"We cannot do it…yet!"
RUMBLE!
They couldn't do it yet!
At their current levels, it wasn't possible as this was the reason why Primordials could grant others their own designed Systems- it was because they made them from their own Flames of Edicts. For the sake of stability and forging a functional Primordial Epitaph, Noah saw that the one before their eyes held no less than 15 Flames.
15 fully completed Edicts!
And it wasn't just that as these Edicts seemed to be closely intermingled with each other as Noah was reminded of what he read from Cecilia's Status sheet.
...A Higher Existence that has stepped on the path of consolidating her Flames of Edicts and has already obtained the lowest tier ********* ****...
The path of consolidating Flames of Edicts! Whatever product came from this- the "Lowest Tier ********* ****" that was hidden before Noah's eyes…this was what Primordials used to inscribe Primordial Epitaphs onto their Champions!
Hyperion's eyes burned brightly as he gazed towards the illusory Primordial Epitaph before them as he voiced out with an undeniable fashion.
"All that is needed is a minimum of 15 Flames of Edicts…and it can be done!"
Noah listened to his words as his own eyes shone, thinking carefully as the Nomological Edict of Commandment still danced around him, his voice ringing out.
"Primordials have achieved another stage of power as they can meld their Flames of Edicts together to form something fantastical…this 'something' is what they use to form Primordial Epitaphs. But we could possibly do it even without this if we work together!"
WAA!
Yes! They didn't even know how to achieve the blending of 15 Flames of Edicts together when all of them were distinctly different and apart- something far more unique than fusing Daos or Laws into something that combined all of their qualities.
Noah's gaze was filled with a domineering light as his body shone with the unique essence of Commandment once more, the ability of Vault of Commandments being utilized by him as he spoke out dominantly!
"How can one meld together Edicts?"
OOOOM!
A shocking question at the root of their problem apart from the fact that they didn't have the 15 required Flames of Edicts! But the Vault of Commandment nonetheless gave an answer.
When one has achieved the Cosmic Realm and fully holds the True Blood of Higher Existences within their Origin, the minimum number of 15 Flames of Edicts can be brought together to form a unique authority.
A clear answer. An answer that showed off the heavy shackles they had to break before they could achieve their goals!
Chapter 1357 - Marked For Death!
Hello.
It's been too long since I last shared my thoughts that I don't even know who is out there listening anymore.
Too many things change in such a short period of time that those not keeping track can quickly be left behind. But I, the favorite Shadow Guard Night of the Frozen Queen closest to Master- I will always be ahead of the curve from everyone else.
Even as everyone is shocked by the fact that dozens of new Cosmos were fused into our own in a few days, even as everyone was focused on the happenings of the Primordial Empire and the events there- I have been documenting what mattered. I have been documenting the relationships that make the now proclaimed Infinite Empire!
And of course, the most important thing had to be relationships.
You don't believe me? Look at what was currently happening right before my eyes.
I'm sneakily documenting what I see while hidden in the dark, having followed Lady Adelaide from the Emperor's Tower where she and all the other powerful Ladies had returned from with their eyes releasing dangerous lights that I have yet to figure out the meaning of.
Their plans were interrupted as Master called upon them, and even I was shocked to see how quickly they all answered as I was able to see once more why relationships mattered the most in this great land of ours.
It was because after everyone was gathered, the Esteemed Master said the Flames of Edicts were becoming increasingly important as he had to explore all avenues, especially the Bloodlines of these Edicts that he…could actually grant 9 beings Induction into one of his completed Edicts as it would be a matter of time before they comprehend it and have a terrifying tool within their hands!
Those to be given Induction into Master's completed Edicts were of course…those he was closest to.
Relationships. They were what caused the rise of powerhouses within our Infinite Empire, and one just had to be close to the Master to achieve all they wanted and more.
Lady Adelaide and the others were a given as among the lucky ones were Kazuhiko, that arrogant little Penguin, Steel Mikhail, Cthulhu, Oathkeeper…a few of the prominent beings that Lady Adelaide has said still shone with strong destinies were among those chosen.
I was yet to be chosen as I was a mere attending of the Lady Adelaide, but precisely due to my service to her, I knew I would be among those to be next in line as Master completed more and more Edicts.
After all, I was among those given the chance to choose an Archetype, among those given the shining Primordial King Set and gotten the chance to spill the blood of Primordial Beasts…and your favorite Night will also be among those to be graced by Master's Bloodline Edicts when the time came.
When I thought about this, I unconsciously focused on the Esteemed Master once more as I watched his chest split open to reveal pulsing golden blood- such a scene being something that would cause others to fall to their knees in awe and reverence as to us, it was currently the norm.
When looking at this golden drop of blood that was releasing even smaller drops to induce the Bloodline of an Edict to a select few, the Master's eyes turned hazy as he spoke thoughtfully to himself.
"With the development of needing so many completed Edicts…it seems I will have to work even more closely with Hyperion!"
…!
Wait. Hold on a second there, Master. From what Lady Adelaide had told me, Hyperion was the name of the Ender of Reality.
Esteemed Master…what exactly are you doing now working with such an existence?!
Ah…
Just when I thought I knew the extent of the Esteemed Master and what he was capable of, I'm thrown a curveball once again.
Just what crazy things are you trying to do now, Master?
—
When one has achieved the Cosmic Realm and fully holds the True Blood of Higher Existences within their Origin, the minimum number of 15 Flames of Edicts can be brought together to form a unique authority.
The message shone in gold as Noah made it visible to even Hyperion, his Universal Body in the Infinite Empire beginning the process of Bloodline Induction into the Nomological Edicts of Kismet and Commandment as he had to now know a whole lot more on this aspect!
But in the depths of the Primordial Sea, Hyperion looked toward the golden word within shining eyes as he spoke out with his archaic voice.
"Your abilities are truly skewed into a unique direction."
His words were impassive as this was as much a compliment as anyone would receive from an Ender of Reality, Hyperion actually looking at Noah in a different light and reevaluating him as he showed off the many unique abilities!
Noah merely nodded as his next question was a direct one that no expert would normally ask another, but his dark hair tinged with a myriad of other colors waved majestically as he voiced out.
"How many completed Edicts do you have?"
An invasive question about one's power that Noah actually knew the answer to after seeing Hyperion's status sheet, but he still asked to see if this Ender of Reality was ready to go all the way to achieve what they wanted!
The Archaic eyes of this Beast locked onto him as he followed Noah's thought process, his air of majestic leaking out of him as he replied calmly.
"Nine."
A number True to what Noah knew was laid out as he nodded, his voice echoing out in a grand fashion as the Nomological Edict of Commandment swirled around him.
"I currently have two. Which just means we have to forge 4 more completed Edicts and then fulfill the other conditions before we can forge Primordial Epitaphs…"
…!
Noah voiced out nonchalantly as he didn't count Samsara, and Hyperion gazed towards him coldly as his ancient voice echoing out
"Yes. Because completing Edicts is so easy."
Completing 9 Edicts had taken Hyperion too many years as he knew how slow the progress was! Yet this being before him spoke as if he could do it in mere days as one could not help but be skeptical!
Yet. His confidence seemed to be as boundless as ever as the Tyrant smiled brightly enough to show his pristine white teeth, his domineering voice echoing out.
"Actually, yes. Completing Edicts is very easy! Under the right conditions and resources that is…"
WAA!
The essence of Commandment waved around him madly as Kismet also began to erupt from him, his eyes seeing the way forward as his voice continued to ring out.
"After the 15 completed Edicts, I just have to step into the Cosmic Realm and we both have to then obtain a body filled fully with the True Blood of Higher Existences…"
…!
A grand goal was laid out before the two beings as when Noah finished speaking, Hyperion looked at this being thoughtfully as he saw that the Tyrant was entirely serious!
Since it was so…the Ender of Reality voiced out terrifying words to match Noah's.
"Then, we will also need to get a hold of another blueprint of Primordial Epitaph to increase the chances of successfully designing two. For this…the blood of the Champion must be spilled."
WAA!
A cruel light crossed Hyperion's eyes as he said so, waves of destiny echoing out a Champion was marked for death and dissection!
Chapter 1358 - Three Conditions! I
The blood of the Champion of Reality must be spilled!
The single Primordial Epitaph blueprint they had was good for research as it directed them towards some truth, but it wasn't enough for the both of them to confidently say that they could define the conditions of their own Systems successfully even if they had all the required 15 Flames of Edicts right now.
"But even with your boasting, completing four more Edicts will take time. It could stretch to hundreds of thousands of years…" The voice of the ancient Ender of Reality still came out low as his golden trunk and tusks shimmered, Noah gazing towards the third eye of this beast as he waved his hands while replying with confidence.
"I can forge and complete four Edicts in a matter of days if need be, so I can take on the completion of that requirement!"
WAA!
With utter confidence, he spoke out as his eyes swirled with the light of destiny.
Three conditions!
This was what they had to accomplish before they could forge a System, the first two being the achievement of the Cosmic Realm and then the change of their very nature into that of a Higher Existence. The third condition was one that he did not have to complete alone, and he would have to get the help of Hyperion for him to complete quickly.
This was the third condition that required a minimum of 15 fully completed Edicts to even begin to etch a Primordial Epitaph! Apart from this, he could also utilize the power of Hyperion to fully achieve the first condition!
"But…I will need your help in completing one of the conditions."
…!
His eyes shone with sharpness as Hyperion's grand form locked onto him fully.
"I can fully take on the responsibility to complete the condition of the last four Edicts and even go further to help you and myself towards changing our Origins to be filled with the True Blood of a Higher Existence, but I will need your aid in achieving my Cosmic Realm."
THRUM!
Noah spoke out calmly as in the midst of all this, his mind worked rapidly to get himself all the possible benefits as he would not let any avenue to be left unturned.
The three eyes of Hyperion flashed with a cold light at this being understood many things, his voice tinged with annoyance as it reverberated out.
"You want me to freely give you the lives of countless Primordial Beasts to complete your Cosmos?"
"Yes. I want the origins of as many Primordial Beasts as it takes."
…!
Noah replied calmly as the surroundings once again began to shake with the terrifying and oppressive aura of a Cosmic Primordial Beast!
The Tyrant was asking for the strongest Primordial Beast to freely give the lives of his own race to him, and the answer from this Ender of Reality was something he expected.
Hyperion was a practical being.
He cared not for humans as he only had an interest in them, and he cared even less for Primordial Beasts as they were tools for him to command to reach his aims! His wish…had always been to break out of the shackles of his Reality.
It had nothing to do with other Primordial Beasts, nor the humans, dragons, elves, phoenixes…or any of the myriad of races that existed across the Cosmos.
It was all for Hyperion! So toward Noah's assertion…
"Show me the four completed Edicts apart from the two you already have, and I can bathe the entire Primordial Sea in red to make you achieve the Cosmic Realm."
RUMBLE!
The terrifying words echoed in Noah's mind as if any Primordial Beasts heard them, they would run away where they stood! But these were exactly the words that Noah wanted to hear as his body brimmed with the essence of Commandment.
"Then, let us forge even more…trust, why don't we?"
He rolled the word trust out of his mouth as the Flames of Commandment burned, Runic Ecritures being etched with a blinding gold light.
{Contract of Commandment- Hyperion Will Help Noah Achieve the Cosmic Realm With As Many Primordial Beasts As Required After the Condition of 4 New Completed Edicts is achieved}
The contract burned brightly as it came in a pair, one sinking into Noah as the other…Hyperion swallowed calmly as it bound their Origins!
'Glorious…' Noah's destiny raged wildly as he truly just guaranteed himself the Cosmic Realm after satisfying the conditions of 4 new completed Edicts. It was a fantastic result from today's action as even with this, there was still much to do.
"The condition of changing all of one's Blood into True Blood will be the hardest to achieve, even if I were to spend all of my Reserves of the Essence of Reality."
The titanic figure of Hyperion waved his elephantine hands as he played around with the structure of the illusory Primordial Epitaph, solutions to this problem not coming freely as it involved something that Flames of Edicts produced daily.
If one forged a MINOR Edict, they could obtain 10 Nanoliters of True Blood Daily, and this number was multiplied by 10 for a GREATER Edict. Such amounts were minuscule as even after millions of years, Hyperion was only halfway there to becoming a Higher Existence with only half of his body being filled with True Blood!
"The True Blood of Higher Existences…" The Tyrant and Ender of Reality looked at each other as they arrived at the most crucial issue plaguing them.
Noah looked towards Hyperion as he waited to see if this being would come out with any solutions, but he knew that for him- it was just a matter of time! A few million years would not matter as he was already halfway there, but Noah did not want to spend a million years waiting for nanoliters of True Blood daily.
His eyes shone with a sharp light as destiny and fortune continued to undulate powerfully, his eyes becoming covered by layers of gold as he saw solutions intermixed with possibilities!
'And when it comes to blood…I do have some affinity towards it!' Noah recalled his Origin of a Vampyre Progenitor as when it came to matters of True Blood, many ideas rose for him to choose from!
Chapter 1359 - Three Conditions! II
He was wrong.
He would not normally admit it, but Hyperion found himself to have been very wrong about the existence he had only considered interesting!
The gaze of confidence and certainty he had when he spoke of profound matters wasn't merely arrogance and not knowing his limits, but they seemed to be entirely true.
He didn't lie about the Primordial Epitaph, he was capable of discerning it when he didn't have the Essence of Reality, and he bound himself by a contract to be capable of easily and quickly producing 4 completed edicts in a short period of time in exchange for the lives of countless Primordial Beasts.
Like any sane being that knew of the arduous nature of not just completing but just forming Edicts, Hyperion was inclined to not believe him! But after the contract and the gaze of this being still shining with utter confidence, he realized he had to admit his wrong perspective and reevaluate this being once more.
Of course, he would never admit he was wrong outwardly and give him the satisfaction, his ego was too high for that already! Even as Hyperion realized he would be working with this human more and more, he still reserved his calculating mind for any possibilities in the future as even the Flames of the GREATER Edict of Commandment binding his Origin were being investigated.
Relying on the strength of others would only ever lead to failure. He had seen this too many times.
'Even if this human is dependable, I still have to rely on myself to achieve what I want!' His voice thundered out in his mind as he watched the swirling golden essence around Noah die down, his face contemplative as he spoke out.
"I should have something to help with the generation of True Blood soon, but it's still in its planning phases as it is not concrete yet…shall we end our little research and development session here for now?"
His eyes seemed utterly clear and free of worries as if the heavy weight of becoming a Higher Existence, achieving the Cosmic Realm, and completing 4 Edicts did not lie on his back!
The Ender of Reality looked at this being with sharp eyes as a terrific thought rose in his mind.
'Why was the human not the one chosen as the Champion of Reality?'
WAA!
A terrific thought that would remain a question in Hyperion's mind! He was quizzical why it was someone like Aegon that at any moment now, he could break the will of.
But when he looked at Osmont…he still knew nothing about this being as even when he was a Realm above him, Hyperion couldn't say with confidence he could eradicate him if he was an enemy unless he went around decimating all the Cosmos within this Reality!
This being was similar to him as their wills were terrifying enough to be trying to forge their own Systems outside the help of Primordials.
If he was given a System by Cecilia and was already a Champion instead of Aegon? Maybe Hyperion would have been eradicated long ago!
'But that is not the current Reality.'
RUMBLE!
His thoughts caused his Sea of Destiny to churn as his will was reinforced over and over again, speaking out before the so called 'research and development' session was brought to an end.
"The bodies of the Champion and the Primordial above him…they contain an abundant supply of True Blood if one can manage to harness it."
…!
The True Blood contained in the Champion and the Higher Existence Cecilia.
The Tyrant smiled at such a suggestion from the Ender of Reality as he replied with shining eyes.
"It will not be just a declaration of War against Aegon, but against a Primordial at the Cosmic Filament Realm!"
"Ho? You even know this?" Hyperion raised his eyes yet again at Noah not just knowing about the Primordial above Aegon, but even knowing her Realm!
"I know some things." Noah waved his hands as he replied, his eyes shining ever brighter as Hyperion's words only further reinforced the ideas blooming within his mind for what he wanted to do.
Many possibilities were currently clashing against each other as a path slowly bloomed in his mind, Noah glancing towards the stout figure of Hyperion again as he spoke.
"I have to focus on and implement the possible solutions…do you care if I take the Tainted Ones under Stormdust before I leave?"
…!
The existences under Stormdust that managed to leave the Primordial Empire and slip past his hands. They held an abundance of cores and resources of Cosmic Resource Points that Noah could utilize to complete Edicts, so he spoke out as he continued to understand more of Hyperion's nature!
The Ender of Realities' eyes flashed as its tusks gleamed dangerously, looking towards the far away direction where a few hundred Cosmos remained as within them, countless powerhouses from the House of Stormdust who had betrayed their very own existence to side with the Primordial Beasts remained.
"Stormdust is the one still needed for the Last War, the rest are merely decorations. You can have them if you want."
RUMBLE!
Countless lives traded with the passing of a few words!
This was why it was crucial for one to rely on their own strength and never to just follow blindly…as all of those following Stormdust blindly would now find themselves facing a terrible fate!
Noah's figure nodded as he glanced at the dense liquefied essence around him, his eyes flashing brightly as he then began to float towards the periphery of the Primordial Sea where Stormdust and the Tainted Ones beneath him were situated either inside of their Cosmos or outside of it.
He knew what be had to do to achieve a System, and now he just had to go and fulfill the conditions for it as he would begin by spilling the blood of Betrayers in the very new homes they thought they would be safe in…under the gaze of the being they sided with who always thought of them as nothing but extras!
At the same time, his Universal Body looked at the figures of those closest to him in the Infinite Empire, watching the process of Bloodline Induction into his completed Edicts as his mind was bursting with many ideas for the rapid generation and production of True Blood.
To quickly become a Higher Existence, just exactly how would he cheat his way forward?!
Chapter 1360 - Cruelty!
When Noah thought about blood, the first thing that rose in his mind was the Blood Lord Skill Tree, and then it was the passive abilities dealing with blood that stemmed from his identity as the Vampyre Progenitor.
Then of course you had the Bloodlines of Edicts that generated the True Blood itself daily, the focus of Noah having to be in this area as he wondered what would happen if he could produce an Edict directly geared towards increasing the Generation of True Blood along with its own specific Daos.
'Well, let's see how much will come from these guys for the first experiment…'
Experimentation!
Noah planned to obtain both Cosmic Resource Points and experiment on the subordinates of Stormdust who had sided with Primordial Beasts, his figure becoming a streak of light as he arrived back at the position where he had left Stormdust bound with a single Runic Ecriture!
This being was still struggling to reawaken his bound Origin unsuccessfully, his eyes quite literally spitting flames when they saw Noah as he looked like a maddened existence ready to rip everything apart.
Noah paid no attention to him as he gazed towards the nearby Cosmos relocated here where he could pick out the auras of many Tainted Ones and even other subordinates of Stormdust ranging from Forefathers all the way down to Paragons!
In the surroundings of the white sea he floated on, there were also the figures of bountiful Primordial Beasts, much of them being Lesser Ones as they stared towards Noah as if he was a deadly enemy.
Yet…Hyperion's terrific form appeared in the surroundings as he was simply watching on coldly, his mere aura acting as a suppression against all Primordial Beasts as he made it clear they weren't to move against him!
So a unique scene formed where a human being had the Ender of Reality behind him as he gazed at the myriad of creatures within this section of the Primordial Sea, and his body began to bubble with immense power as even without moving his fingers, Runic Ecritures began to form in front of him as the essence of Commandment bloomed for all to see.
The Essence of a GREATER Nomological Edict erupted out as it caused many existences to shudder, but none more so than its targets as they were affected the moment the word appeared and shone with splendor!
{Mass Binding}
Mass binding! He had bound Stormdust with a mere {Bind} moments ago as now, he did it en masse as he targeted all the Tainted Ones his aura could cover, and all beings above the levels of Paragons to remain with Stormdust.
THRUM!
His essence weaved around madly as one {Mass Binding} Ecriture was enough to wrap up a few hundred thousand beings regardless of their levels as their bodies and origin could not move, and Noah's eyes simply flashed as all around him, golden words of power reading {Mass Binding} appeared over and over again as the numbers of beings he bound reached over a million soon enough!
"...!"
The scene came to all of them as a surprise, and many Tainted Ones that were just beginning to enjoy the feeling of their power were shocked to find that after they were bound by an inexplicable power, the Tyrant standing calmly before the Ender of Reality waved his fingers as all those bound floated towards his direction!
Stormdust watched this scene in shock and unwillingness as his eyes gazed towards Hyperion's direction, but this Cosmic Primordial Beast didn't even turn towards his direction as if what was happening now was of no consequence.
The bundle of bound beings that had reached a few million after Noah bound all those he wished to all came to float in front of him without a single ounce of movement, Stormdust then watching as each of them began to be wrapped by a spatial light as even with all of their struggles…nothing changed.
He had lost his ruling of a grand empire. He had lost the love of his life. Now…even the subordinates he had around him were being taken away ruthlessly!
'Why! Why?!'
Stormdust wanted to scream these words towards Hyperion as he watched this powerful being do nothing as Noah did all this, as he took down the last vestiges of what remained with the House of Stormdust.
Without the interruption of Primordial Beasts or anything else, Noah did as he wished in the depths of the Primordial Sea as the suppressed Beasts could only watch in silence while those left behind by him cowered within their Cosmos to try and make sure they weren't chosen to be taken away by the terrifying being who merely wrote words to incapacitate everyone- whether they were Forefathers or Paragons!
The despair, wrath, and powerlessness within the eyes of Stormdust were palpable as he watched all this, his constant struggle over the vending on him causing Noah to look towards his direction after the light of teleportation covered all of the existences he had bound.
Stormdust saw this Tyrant look towards him with a calm smile as his own body began to be wrapped by a spatial light, but he didn't leave before voicing out a few words that struck Stormdust's heart more than anything else!
"It's nothing personal."
RUMBLE!
His Origin shook at these words as it was the answer to the question he wanted to scream towards Hyperion- the reason why for all of this to happen!
It wasn't personal. He schemed. Others schemed…and he was merely the one to be on the losing end of it all.
"..."
The light in Stormdust's eyes dimmed at this cruel reality as against the bindings holding him, he stopped struggling.
His eyes were blank as he stared at the few hundred remaining Cosmos under his name, all of them seeming lifeless to him as their strongest combatants were taken away just like that!
With blank and sunken eyes, Stormdust didn't notice when Hyperion had come near him as his body pulsed with Flames of Edicts that wrapped around him to remove the binding that Noah ridiculously didn't take off even now.
"Don't you worry, Betrayer. This is just one of the pains you shall experience."
WAA!
A Light of ingenuity and cruelty flashed within Hyperion's eyes as he said this, the fate of Stormdust and his last act to play already present within his eyes as he simply waited for it to become a Reality!
Chapter 1361 - Bloodlines!
In a nondescript area in the Ruination Sea, the recently teleported few million existences under Stormdust could be seen situated nearly into rows, and a figure of one of Noah's clones was releasing a ring of Flames of Kismet in the surroundings as he created a huge space that no Ruination Essence could pierce through!
He contained his experimental subjects and future Cosmic Resource Points here as he didn't bring them back to the Infinite Empire, taking some caution to not allow others to easily locate his base for now.
With them here, Noah could begin a sequence of plans to accomplish two of the three conditions required for forging a Primordial Epitaph!
As his clone watched the experimental subjects in this region of the Ruination Sea, his Universal Body was in the Cosmic Holy Land as with a brilliant luster of colors, he spoke out grandly.
"Proceed with the design of the Cosmic Dao of Conversion, the Cosmic Dao of Regeneration, and the Cosmic Dao of Bloodlines."
RUMBLE!
He fantastically authorized the designs of three Cosmic Daos as even after all this, he wasn't done!
"Elevate the Grand Daos of Destiny, Devouring, Oscillation, Archetypes, and Fealty into Cosmic Daos."
WAA!
The moment his words faded, storms of essence erupted out as old Daos at the Grand level were elevated to the Cosmic level, and the new Cosmic Daos of Conversion, Regeneration, and Bloodlines bloomed as the Cosmic Filament Core buzzed with activity to make it all possible!
Conversion, Regeneration, and Bloodlines were of course geared towards the Edict Noah wanted to forge that would increase his rate of generation of True Blood of Higher Existences, and the Grand Daos elevated were possibilities to be used to form this Edict and also go the fact that their strength could be increased with their rise in rank- and this only went forward to further increase Noah's strength.
OOOM!
Noah's stellar hair that shone with the light of Universes waved around him madly as he didn't wait long before the Runic symbols representing the new Cosmic Daos of Conversion, Regeneration, and Bloodlines bloomed, his eyes watching them carefully as they sank into his Origin as he was able to understand their composition extremely well!
Three new Cosmic Daos bloomed in his Origin as five Grand Daos became Cosmic Ones, Noah feeling this awe inspiring sense of power coursing through him as he focused on the newly formed Daos.
While he did this, his people across the Infinite Empire experienced wild boosts in strength from the elevation of Fealty and Archetypes, many more intricate designs rising from these Daos that Noah would have to delve in another time!
His eyes focused on the first Dao of Conversion as it allowed for not just the Conversion of some forms of essence into others, but it also allowed one to convert or reconstruct concepts of Daos at a small level along with other concepts. Noah designed this Dao in mind of the Edict it would go towards producing- an Edict that allowed him to convert normal Blood into True Blood!
Then there was the Cosmic Dao of Regeneration that vastly increased his rate of Regeneration for all Resources, and he designed this to aid in the increased generation of blood when he formed the Edict. On top of resource regeneration, it also increased the generation of blood within his body by ten- directly increasing his daily output of the nanoliters of True Blood!
Lastly, there was the Cosmic Dao of Bloodlines which fully deserved its own description.
COSMIC [Dao of Bloodlines] :: 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 Bloodlines allows one the capability to consolidate any Bloodlines below the level of Bloodline Edicts, being able to fuse the different types of lineage in one's Origin into a single one. One can also choose to lock their other Bloodlines to allow for the quadrupled effect of a single Bloodline. Expert control over Blood is granted as the abilities {Bloodline Master}, {Devourer of Blood}, {Blood of Old}, {Unnatural Regeneration} are granted…
The Cosmic Dao of Bloodlines was the most unique out of the new ones as it directly granted Noah the ability of Unnatural Regeneration that took a portion of the boosts that the Cosmic Dao of Regeneration provided and elevated them even more, with it also having the carryover effect for even the True Blood within his body!
{Unnatural Regeneration} :: Your bloodline cells regenerate at an Unnatural rate, increasing to be a thousand times more for normal Blood and ten times as much for unique types of Blood. Blood loss isn't a concept for a being such as you…
A passive ability that directly increased the Regeneration of different types of Blood, and this included the True Blood that was classified as unique!
Noah felt these changes first hand as the minuscule amounts of golden blood within his Origin began to bubble, more of them slowly coming to fruition as he smiled when he felt these fantastic changes.
After the design of these three Daos, he was ready to begin the forging of another Edict- one that would be the highest Tier edict he had made to date as his destiny already told him it should be a peak GREATER Edict!
This was because he would be including not just the Primordial Dao into it- but also the Dao of Ruination.
And on top of this…he would be doing something he had yet to do so far, and that was to incorporate not just laws and Daos into this Edict, but also the concepts of things like the Blood Lord Skill Tree and the very essence of the Vampyre Progenitor and its abilities!
'It is a new age of experimenting and trying new things…why just stop at laws and Daos?!'
Noah had such a domineering thought as he was only confident in doing so due to nothing other than the Primordial Dao that he saw worked to interlink many things.
If it could interlink laws and Daos to forge a GREATER Edict within seconds, surely it could also handle other concepts like skill trees and bloodlines?!
