"Yes, Master!"
RUMBLE!
From Noah's body, glimmering gold and dark essence were released as they went to wash over the now excited Vladivostok, who had heard a command to gather the Vampyres together to acknowledge their Progenitor!
This would be a momentous event of their race, something that had not happened in more than a thousand years!
His excitement only rose higher as just from being near the Progenitor, he could feel his body gaining more and more strength, this being not realizing that he was now considered a subordinate of Noah and fit the specifications of the Guider Type abilities that Noah always had active.
His body felt the unique energy of chaos as he understood that, but he was even more shocked to sense the freely flowing aura of fate as he gave the Progenitor an even more incredulous look, but did not raise a single question as he stood up, sensing the aura of a being he knew to well come from a distance.
Seeing the demeanor of the Progenitor, Vladivostok understood his wishes to remain in secrecy for now as he spoke out.
"I will clear my mistake here first with no issues, O Progenitor, and let you know as soon as I complete your command!"
His voice was strong as he spoke out like someone that would do whatever it took to accomplish the goal given. There was not an ounce of pride or arrogance for his mighty status of a Star Forging Expert, nor any status of a Ruler that had been overseeing billions of beings over the past hundred years. In front of the Bloodline power that was the purest, all of these distinctions were wiped away!
Noah nodded towards this powerful being as the Blood World around them began to fade.
Seeing the aura of fate and chaos descend into the body of Vladivostok, Noah confirmed that the future event with the Vampyres would have their own abundant rewards, where he only imagined the millions of powerful Vampyres who could actually fight in the war fitting the conditions to be his subordinates and gaining the boosts of the Guider Type abilities!
This would be something that would heavily influence the Dark Expanse, as well as the direction of the War that involved the lives of trillions.
To him, all this translated to was...more Fate Lines and Chaos Particles, and especially abundant ones at that as it would steer the direction of numerous powerful beings, unlike the weak ones on the numerous planets he was currently connected to!
RUMBLE!
The Blood World fully disappeared as those outside of it looked in, seeing Noah floating in the void of space calmly as Vladivostok was near him, his face seemingly trying to be serious, but one could distinctly see the trace of happiness and excitement in his red eyes.
Vladivostok glanced at the surrounding figures as he saw the materialization of the Grand Mage Edrusim in the distance with a dark face, his figure going towards this leading figure of the Dark Expanse as he telepathically bid farewell to the Progenitor.
Noah glanced at the Grand Mage he had yet to interact with, Vladivostok's figure shooting towards this Mage instantly as he began speaking out and the face of the Grand Mage gradually calmed down.
Commanding Mage Turner, the Dark Wizard Shanora, and the incredulous Royal Vampyre Rokku were still on the side with agape expression as even now they did not understand what had just happened.
Noah glanced at Rokku and the tens of thousands of Vampyres behind him, his eyes shining as he looked forward to seeing a scene of millions of Vampyres as he sent a telepathic message to Commanding Mage Turner bidding his farewell for now, and sending another command for the Infernal Legion to head back to the Infernal Gate that led to the second Realm of Hell!
OOOOH!
"Ready to serve!"...
The chants of the Infernals resounded yet again as they made their way across the void of space, Noah leaving the cleaning up of the battlefield and the handling of the numerous beings from the Light Expanse to the Verittas Fortress, his mind already planning his moves the moment he returned to the Infernal Realm.
"Ah…"
He heard the voice of the Dark Wizard Shanora that had mentioned she wanted to discuss something with him after the battle, but he paid it no heed as he already had too many things on his plate, his discernment with Fate Traverse telling him it would simply be something else that required him to put a significant amount of time into, and it was time that he actually did not have.
He left Vladivostok to deal with the entrance of a Grand Mage as he took his forces away, bidding farewell to the location of the first battle that had granted him more than 2 million Fate Lines, his heart looking forward into the future as he moved forward!
Those left behind at the Verittas Fortress were only left with incredulousness and confusion as they asked themselves- just who exactly was this 9th Infernal Lord?
Chapter 498 What Noble Fate?!
In the Golden Bastion of the Celestial Realm where the 4 Geniuses were placed in to finish their training, a dark skinned girl was repeatedly watching the scenes of the recent battle at Verittas Fortress over and over again.
Her eyes were cold and filled with fighting intent as she watched a certain Infernal Lord move across the battlefield in a dominant manner, not a single creature being able to stand in his path as he obliterated anyone he came across.
She watched as this Infernal Lord caused the body of the Celestial Grandmaster that had presided over the tournament not too long ago, someone they looked up to with reverence because of their strength- she watched this being's body exploded like a balloon with just a gesture of the Infernal Lord!
Athena glanced at this scene and the numerous other scenes as essence began converging around her body, a multitude of thoughts flowing through her mind as her Origin was unknowingly bubbling with power.
When she looked at these scenes, she did not feel any fear or horror that others would feel, nor did she feel sad or have a sense of loss at the perishing of an entire Celestial Legion. She very strongly believed in fate, and knew that it was simply the fate of those that perished to do so, their sacrifices only acting as stairs to elevate their battle to bring order and balance in an even greater fashion!
What she felt the most was actually the emotion of unwillingness and competitiveness as she looked at the figure of the Infernal Lord, ingraining it in her mind as she asked herself many questions.
She was someone that was a genius in Fate, and even held the title of a being with Noble Fate. Yet, why was it so that her power did not even match someone like her junior brother who had ascended to the World Realm? With her title, how could she be so useless that when she looked at her power and compared herself to the newly rising 9th Infernal Lord- she knew she would not even stand a chance and would be killed even faster than the dead Grandmasters!
She felt unwillingness as she looked at her very Origin and asked- why would someone with her title not have power at this level?!
RUMBLE!
Essence continued to madly converge around her as the unwillingness she felt to her core was further boosted by her battle intent as she looked at the spectacular scenes of battle, her origin madly absorbing essence as the War Princess was unconsciously raising her realm by the sheer strength of her will!
She had been enjoying numerous treasures for achieving her rank in the Tournament, even though it was nothing near the effectiveness of the [Luminescent Rainbow Dews] that Crixus and the Three-Eyed Fate Child received, she and Grandmaster Light were given numerous Elite Behemoth Materials at the World rank and even Cores of that same rank for each of them in an effort to further accelerate their realms.
Her body that was already drenched in absorbing those treasures was now madly absorbing even more essence as time passed, her rank nearing the peak of the Domain Expansion Realm as she wanted to break through to the World Realm by sheer willpower alone!
This was something only a genius holding the title of someone with a Noble Fate could do, something that only the War Princess with her strong lust for battle and unique title could achieve. As essence raged around her, she screamed i
n her heart for more strength, her rank continuing to shoot up as she inscribed the face of the 9th Infernal Lord to her heart.
This was the type of strength she aspired to have, so she would simply go forward to achieving it. When she did, she wanted to stand against this Infernal Lord to really test what Fate had in store for her.
She would either perish or rise above as she really lived up to the title of having a Noble Fate.
Otherwise, if she remained this weak- what use was there for her having such a title?!
RUMBLE!
---
As one genius tried making a breakthrough and enter a higher realm, an even more monstrous genius had returned to the Infernal Realm as Azula looked towards him with an exasperated expression.
This was because when Noah's Ancient Blood Clone first entered the Infernal Realm to accept the Letter of Summons, he had shown his rank to be at the Domain Realm!
Yet when he went to battle, he revealed power at the World Rank, the same realm where the 8th and 7th Infernal Lord stood at, and now this 9th Infernal Lord returned triumphantly after wiping the floor with an entire Celestial Legion.
Azula shook her head unbelievably as she could not even bring herself to stay near this monstrous genius, returning to her castle as she wanted to increase her power even by little before the numerous Celestial Legions began making their way across the Novus Galaxy.
Noah stationed the Infernal Legion that was under his command as their eyes remained on his leaving figure, these Infernals actually feeling a strong bond with the swirling chaos that always followed this Infernal Lord!
Having completed his task as the 9th Infernal Lord, he moved to reap the full benefits of the battle as his body changed out of the shape of a crowned Infernal Lord and returned to his normal one, teleporting to a certain region in the Light Expanse.
He appeared somewhere in the starry expanse of space as his gaze landed upon a particular Prime World, this world holding no special identity besides the fact that it was one of the many worlds in the memories that he absorbed from the defeated figures of beings from the numerous Prime Worlds that made up the forces of the Celestial Legion.
One of the bigger rewards he reaped out of the recent battle were these memories of thousands of beings...memories that he planned to use to connect numerous powerful worlds of the Light Expanse to himself as they forever disappeared from the eyes of everyone!
He would also use this time to obtain the required World Core for the upgrade of the Spiritual World as the first requirement of Domain Rank beasts had been met, only this single requirement remaining.
With the goal of amassing more worlds to himself and looking forward to another world-shaking upgrade of one of the most unique treasures he owned, his eyes shone with a golden luster as his figure silently streaked towards the Prime World in front of him to get started!
Chapter 499 Plucking Stars With Ease!
As Noah's Ancient Blood Clone started the connection of more worlds to expand the source of his strength even more, his main body was finishing a battle with a Supreme Behemoth in the deep unexplored regions of the Celestial Realm!
RUMBLE!
The World Rank Behemoth that was shimmering with golden light and shaped like a four-headed golden lion slumbered to the ground after falling to the horrendous attacks laced with the essence of Chaos and Aether, Noah gaining another mountainous body brimming with wondrous materials, and this time it was from a beast that was actually at the World Realm. The numerous loot for the Behemoth rushed to his [Expansive Space] as he waved his hands to cause the mountainous body to disappear.
Aside from using its materials to craft new Item Sets, the meat was extremely sumptuous to enjoy as it contained abundant essence! In conjunction with his [Cook] ability that made everything he touched into something tastier than even the food from 5-star restaurants, his time exploring the Celestial Realm had been extremely enjoyable.
This was the 4th World Rank Behemoth that he had come across in these unknown regions, where he also came across treasures in the form of fruits that rejuvenated one's energy or came across regions that were filled with Fate Essence and conducive to training.
But soon enough, he would have an entire region filled with Fate and Chaos Essence to himself as he upgraded the Spiritual World and unlocked the next features of the Law Space, so he momentarily stopped his exploration as he calculated a better pathway to follow with the abilities of <
SHAA!
In front of his eyes, a being with his original body teleported in as he waved his hands forward, a sparkling miniaturized Spiritual World flowing towards him as the clone that was currently connecting numerous worlds came to hand him the unique treasure and disappeared thereafter to continue his tasks.
This handoff of the Spiritual World to the main body while the clone continued the world connections was for Noah to use this time to steer fate towards the best direction that Fate told him to follow.
From the use of the skills under <
RUMBLE!
Waves of essence silently stretched out as the miniaturized Spiritual World was placed on the glimmering grass of the Celestial Realm, Noah's figure disappearing within it as he entered the Time Space to begin right away.
The skill tree he had to focus on was actually not the [Fate's Guardian] or [Arch Lich Ra'Zan] skill trees that were still at Soul Rank, but the [Blood Lord] skill tree that he just recently brought to the Domain Tier with the addition of Fledgling Blood Ancient!
His focus was actually directed to this right away, and he had the capability to bring it to the World Rank since he just obtained numerous sacrificial skills of that rank to use, all that was left being their requirement of proficiency as he began spamming the abilities to bring them up right away.
His Ancient Blood Clone that had just transferred the Spiritual World over to him teleported to another location in the Light Expanse, continuing the process of entering deep into the cores of these worlds as he established connections with them and then used the World Engine to teleport them vast distances across space in the quadrant where his homeworld was.
Many stars were being added to this expansive corner of Light Expanse as all of them were veiled deeply, never to be found unless someone powerful was actively passing around and looking!
He was plucking stars left and right as his movements would soon cause commotion in the already tense Light Expanse as the disappearance of numerous Prime Worlds began to gain notice.
These actions that Noah was currently undertaking were bold, but he made countless calculations as he affirmed to himself in these times of a chaotic war, the disappearance of a few planets will only be a drop in the bucket, never garnering the attention of Celestials for them to bother looking into it, and even if they did the chances of them finding anything were extremely minimal.
Thus, days passed as the clone continued the connections while looking out for a Large World to obtain a core of in a smooth manner, the main body staying within the Time Space of the Spiritual World as he got ready to upgrade the first skill tree into the World Rank!
In these past days, the regions of the Light Expanse became particularly active as Celestials began moving to amass the forces of being above Void Rank to add to their Legions, this time the process being carried out orderly and carefully as the full-scale war that would begin thereafter would be unlike anything that had happened before.
It would be a large scale attack across many regions of the Dark Expanse, with many battles being fought as the Celestials would either win many and advance further into the Dark Expanse while gaining control of more regions in the Novus Galaxy, or if the repeat of the first b
attle is to occur, their advancement might be halted!
Righteous fervor and strength filled the minds of the Celestials as they looked forward to wiping off the stain of losing the first battle, their hearts calling out for more order and balance as numerous Celestial Legions were being created every passing day.
In the Time Space, more than 3 months had passed with the passage of just a few days outside, Noah's main body shining brightly as he stopped the constant casting of numerous abilities and opened his eyes sharply.
The time had arrived for the first World Rank Skill Tree!
Chapter 500 Juvenile Ancient !
In the Time Space of the Spiritual World, prerequisite World Rank Sacrificial skills were burnt, and from the ashes rose a brand new addition to the Blood World skill tree, with Noah choosing the option of [Fledgling Ancient] and gaining access to four entirely new abilities.
His eyes gave a quick run down of the abilities before he used his limited Skill Points to max them right away, wanting to see these abilities at their peak at once!
