Information that told everything he needed to know about this dangerous Realm that made many Blessed fearful was displayed in his eyes as he made himself familiar with everything while waiting, his mind still on the shocking details of the Imperial Princess standing calmly with her Guardsmaids by the side as he occasionally switched over to her panel to read her details over again.
As he remained alone while Blessed constantly moved and shuffled around, he continued to use the [Eyes of Truth] on all the Blessed around him as he garnered more information on Traits and understood many of the beings in here at deeper levels than even their closest friends.
While spreading his attention around, his eyes landed on a particular being that was surrounded by 2 other Blessed, a frosty look on his face as he had an arrogant and pompous expression of someone important!
Noah saw the eyes of this being trying their best to not look towards the direction of the shocking Imperial Princess as the information on him was revealed in his eyes, making his brows raise up as he found interesting information.
'Ho, so you were the perpetrator of the murder of poor Alexander before I came?'
Noah was looking at the [Life History] of the Young Master that had given out the command for multiple Blessed that planned to join this Selection to be killed, citing a stupid excuse of taking out the weak that pointlessly caused multiple Blessed to silently lose their lives in the past day.
[Andrews Manuli Dawn] The Young Master of the Light Dawn Household of the Imperial Citadel.[Life History][Strengths][Weakness][Ability(s)][Trait(s)][Habits]...
From the Life History of this being, he learned of many despicable things he had done throughout his time as the events that occurred yesterday became clear in Noah's eyes, a cold light coursing through them as he had already made a judgment about this being!
'Alright. You aimed to kill me, so I will naturally avenge the body of this being that I have taken over.'
His eyes shone with light as he marked a being for death on his first day of arrival in the Nexus Galaxy!
"Alright, enter and good luck to you all!"
At this time, Master Zeke spoke out with a loud voice as his white wings flapped majestically behind him, the hundreds of Blessed beginning to enter the Rift that led to the Carnage Realm as Noah also made his way over!
Chapter 633 - A Fateful Meeting in the Aether Carnage Realm
The Aether Carnage Realm was a unique Realm that had faced destruction in the past but had not been destroyed fully. It then thrived on the elements of destruction as it took on the qualities to become a Carnage Realm!
This particular Carnage Realm had the elements of Aether permeated throughout from its destruction, and was thus filled with extremely dangerous and baleful Aether swimming around freely all across it.
One could come across areas of floating earth and stones all across this Realm, but much of its space was occupied with clouds and tendrils of Aether that would shred apart an unsuspecting being if they were caught in it. Even more terrifying, Aether Storms occurred frequently in random areas, and were the major causes of death for anyone exploring an Aether Carnage Realm as they would be surrounded and ground down by Aether in a matter of seconds!
Yet, Carnage Realms were also preferred by powerful Law Masters as they had an abundant essence of whatever element they were named after, a being that was trying to comprehend the Law of Aether being very comfortable in a place like the Aether Carnage Realm.
Still, it was a Realm that was extremely hard to navigate in, and it was why it was used as the first Trial for this year's Blessed Imperial Selection!
That was the reality for most people, but a single being was freely walking across the Aether Carnage Realm as if it was his home!
Noah had shining eyes as he looked at the areas around him, the tendrils of Aether occasionally striking down like lightning making any nearby Trial Participants scurry as they tried to find a safe location that was not permeating with too much Aether while preventing themselves from ever having the bad luck of coming across an Aether Storm.
Yet for Noah that had [Eyes of Truth] that told him everything about this Realm...he held no worries as it even felt like home!
He knew the extremely dangerous zones as well as the safe zones, and even what signs he should watch for in case an Aether Storm was about to form in a certain area. He was more familiar with this Aether Carnage Realm than even beings that had explored it once or twice over, and this only made possible because of his Trait.
He was continuing to compound the abundant knowledge he was coming across while thinking of the beings he came across that he could consider important, the shocking Imperial Princess holding an Epsilon Ranked Trait being one of them, and the killer of the body he was currently moving in being the other!
As he saw fewer and fewer people around him, he disappeared into a cloudy area of Aether as the dangerous tendrils only washed over his body briefly before they became calm, his proficiency that was over 50% in the Law of Aether still existing in his Origin as this much would not harm him.
He moved across the dangerous tendrils of Aether of this Carnage Realm as he chose to continue collecting and assimilating the vast amounts of information before making any major moves. Even in the case of the Young Master that killed Alexander, he wanted to collect more information on the Household he was a part of and how they were connected to the Imperials.
He had to move carefully and not just focus on the small fries in front of him, because there were many experts on this Nexus Galaxy!
Just from his first day here, he had met numerous Star Forgers just like the realm of his current body and multiple beings at the Nebula Realm, not to mention the terrifying expert at the rank of Black Hole.
He chose the route of care as he closed his eyes while surrounded by tendrils of Aether, even using this time to absorb and cultivate them as he waited for the 24 hours to pass before he successfully cleared this Trial.
Using this time, he was gradually building up the Origin Cores of Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Light, and Dark as well as the Lines and Particles of other laws that were returning towards him at crazy speeds.
His Origin was already proficient in all of these laws, and he just had to use the essence around him to recreate them in this body as he expected it to only take him a matter of days before he was fully back to the same power that his body in the Novus Galaxy held!
---
At the same time, three figures were moving across the Aether Carnage Realm peacefully as it seemed they were on a stroll, the central figure being veiled in a regal while cloth while the two Guardsmaids beside her were looking around carefully while clutching their weapons!
"Will you two relax? I finally got permission to leave that stuffy castle filled with old monsters to enjoy myself, but you two aren't making it easy."
The veiled figure, the Imperial Princess, said with a sonorous voice that would drain the energy from the legs of weak men as the two women beside her shook their heads simultaneously.
"We're sorry Imperial Princess, but aside from the Carnage Realm being dangerous, we don't know what intentions these weak Blessed participating in this Trial might have towards you and we have to be on guard."
Protective words filled with conviction rang out from the two Guardsmaids, one of them sporting a head full of dark hair tied up in a ponytail, another having a similar style with the color of green.
"Mmm, that's your worry? It seems like anyone we come across simply bows with trembling bodies or they scurry away in fear. And do you all think any of them can actually harm me?"
The Imperial Princess remained with a sonorous playful tone as she talked to the uptight maids, reminding them how anybody they came across actually shook in their boots as they knew the identity of the Imperial Princess, and nobody could brave to even be within a few meters of this only daughter of the Imperial Adjudicator as they traversed far away from them!
The last sentence to come out of the mouth
of the Imperial Princess might have also seemed arrogant and domineering, but when the maids heard it- it was like they had received a reminder as their hands lifted from their weapons and became slightly less worried. This was because they knew her words that none of them could actually harm her were a fact, and it was because even the two of them at the peak of Nebula Realm and holding fearsome Delta Ranked Traits could never even get near the Imperial Princess in strength!
"Come on, I don't know when that old man is going to get paranoid again and force me back into that castle. Let's enjoy this freedom while we still can."
The two Guardsmaids looked at each other as they shook their heads wyrily, understanding the heart of this fearsome Imperial Princess that had never come out like this before in her life. They continued floating across the deadly Aether Carnage Realm as the two of them moved to protect the Imperial Princess anytime tendrils of Aether rushed towards them, the hours passing by within this Realm.
They had come across multiple parties and beings during this time, each of them simply nodding towards them with respect as they scurried off quickly thereafter. This action drew a light of disappointment from the veiled Imperial Princess as she continued moving forward.
Things had continued to play out this way until half an hour later as they passed through a region of particularly wild clouds of Aether, they came across a figure that was peacefully floating in the skies while surrounded by tendrils of Aether!
The baleful Aether seemed to actually be attracted towards him as he seemed to be cultivating, and the presence of the three women alerted him as he opened his eyes and stared towards them.
The three of them were still floating on the same path they had been going on as they expected another panicked reaction and a bow, but their figures simultaneously came to a halt when they actually observed this being to not even have a change of expression, simply closing their eyes once more as they returned to their cultivation!
"..."
The two Guardsmaids had annoyed looks as they felt that this being had not shown the proper respect to the Imperial Princess, while the veiled Princess herself had an interested light flashing across her eyes as she came across a being that didn't scurry away from her the moment they realized who she was, and this one did not even seem to care!
Chapter 634 - A Ridiculous Show of Power
The party of three Blessed that contained an Imperial Princess and her Guardsmaids came to a stop as they stared at a single being that was cultivating peacefully while surrounded by tendrils of Aether.
The maids had looked of annoyance as they already moved their essence to begin moving away, choosing not to even bother with such a being as they could already sense fluctuations at the Star Forging Realm. Such a being did not even enter their eyes, and they chose to spare his worthless life for the disrespect he showed the Imperial Princess today!
But as they began moving on the path they were on, they had to come to a halt again as they realized the Imperial Princess herself had remained where she was, and had even begun floating towards this figure that had briefly opened his eyes and then ignored them!
"Ah, Princess…"
One of the Guardsmaids complained as they both followed, the veiled Imperial Princess floating towards this being that had drawn slight interest from her as she came to be a few meters from him.
The being opened his eyes once more as the three women noticed the ridiculous level of calm within them, with the words coming out of this being's mouth shocking them thereafter!
"Can I help you?"
RUMBLE!
The annoyance in the maid's eyes changed to anger as their aura terrifyingly erupted out, one of them speaking out as her oppressive aura crashed towards Noah.
"Is that how you speak to Nobility? To someone as Esteemed as the Imperial Princess? I will give you one chance to redeem yourself!"
Even though her aura was wildly flying out, she still gave the being in front of them a way out for the actions that these maids thought to be disrespectful!
"Raya."
OOOM!
The name of the maid was uttered once from the veiled Imperial Princess, her voice having a tinge of coldness as the peak Nebula Rank being shuddered and dropped to her knees in the skies filled with Aether.
The other maid did the same as they heard the cold tone, their voices ringing out simultaneously!
"Please forgive us!"
"..."
The Guardsmaids heard a tone that rarely came out of the mouth of the Imperial Princess as they knew that they had erred, immediately dropping to their knees as the veiled being looked towards Noah and spoke.
"I apologize for my maids, we don't normally come across beings with such...a carefree demeanor such as you and they did not know how to act."
The Imperial Princess spoke her first words towards Noah as his eyes landed on this being, his thoughts unknown as he replied with a smile.
"It's fine."
His reply was simple as it drew the interest of the Imperial Princess even more, where she realized even after this being knew her identity, they remained unimpressed! Were they simply fake and putting on airs, or was there something interesting with this being?
She glanced towards him as she found a young man that did not look any older than 25, dark hair freely flowing on his head as he had a fairly average face that seemed to have a hint of unbound confidence!
"You're a Blessed that also cultivates a Supreme Law? It's rare to come across such a talent."
She spoke as she tried to probe this person as he was the first one to rouse any interest among the beings she met the day of her freedom.
"Yes, and I would love to continue talking about this any other time, but I have to advise the Imperial Princess and her Guards to move from here at this time, as a terribly powerful Aether Storm is about to form in this region."
The words out of Noah's mouth drew more annoyance from the kneeling Guardsmaids that had still not lifted their heads up, seeing his natural tone of talking the Esteemed Princess like any normal person distasteful as they also laughed away at his words.
Who was he trying to fool? One of the main dangers of this Carnage Realm were the powerful Aether Storms that unlucky beings could come across, and they were dangerous because one could never foresee them before they formed!
Yet this Star Forging Blessed was claiming that one would be forming in this region even before any signs for it were picked up by even them?
"Oh?"
The Imperial Princess raised a brow in her veiled face, looking around the tendrils of Aether around them that did not seem too destructive at this moment as even she was doubtful!
"Yes, you all still have a few seconds before it hits."
Noah continued with a calm expression and passive words as the Imperial Princess turned towards him.
"Then shouldn't you be moving away from here? I'm sure it will be deadly to someone at the Star Forging Realm, even if you cultivate the Law of Aether."
He looked towards her with a mysterious light as he replied,
"I naturally have my ways, Princess."
RUMBLE!
The moment his words finished, a shocking storm of Aether began to rage out of nowhere, the Guardsmaids looking around them in shock as their bodies lit up with essence to protect themselves, the initial blast of the Aether storm knocking them away from the Imperial Princess!
They looked towards the distasteful being with shock as they saw him to somehow still be in the same position as before, the Imperial Princess also still standing a few meters away from him as they actually seemed to be at the center of the Aether Storm!
'He was actually correct? This…'
The Guardsmaids and the Princess were filled with shock as they looked towards Noah, who seemed to be oscillating with the baleful waves of Aether being produced by the rapidly strengthening Aether Storm as he remained in the same place.
"Princess!"
The two guards used their boun
dless strength to push back towards the Imperial Princess at this juncture, but the force of the Aether Storm was just growing stronger as it pushed them further back, none of its destructive energies being able to pierce through their essence but it could still prevent them from moving forward!
"You two know I'll be fine, I'll meet up again with you soon."
They heard the nonchalant voice of the Imperial Princess as the Aether Storm became even stronger, being something that would even threaten a Nebula Rank being if they were not careful!
For comparison, it was like receiving Noah's or the Terror of Aether's [Madness Hegemony] that released powerful strikes of Aether constantly in the form of a forceful storm.
But in the middle of this raging Aether storm, Noah was still sitting peacefully without any worries, as he also held the skill of Terror of Aether, something like this not being able to harm him in the slightest!
But the more shocking thing was the Imperial Princess in front of him that was looking at him with greater interest at this time, the veil and even the white regal cloth draping over her not even shaking in the slightest in the middle of this raging Aether Storm.
Even Noah's own body had to undulate up and down as he wavered through the Aether Storm, his body absorbing much of the Aether as the rest could not harm him. But this being in front of him seemed to not even be affected the rough pressure of the terrible storm they were in the center of, much less any of the terrible Aether swarming towards her!
Noah observed as baleful tendrils of Aether rushed towards her en masse, but every time they were within just a few inches of her they disappeared silently as even the clothes and veil she wore did not even shake!
His eyes shone as he looked at this scene and remembered the Trait of this being he had seen with the [Eyes of Truth], the EPSILON ranked Trait that made this being at the peak of Nebula Rank to stand in the middle of an Aether Storm without even being pushed aside by a millimeter from the position she chose to float in.
[Anna Lexalius Dannicus](Trait) : Vector Controller(EPSILON)- A Trait that allows the user to control the magnitude and direction of something within the scope of their understanding.
