Chapter 1369

- The Flames Of The Sanguine Emperor! II Just what distinction was there between the Flames of Minor and Greater Edicts compared to those at the QUASI-INSUPERABLE level? Noah received an answer for this first hand as while he watched the Cosmic Resource Points that were an enhancement from skill points by the reality-altering effects of Increased Loot Quantity and Rarity- he felt a flame stronger than any other begin to rise from the depths of his Origin! One's Origin was extremely unique as if it was imagined like a circle that one could sense and feel clearly, they would be able to feel the concepts of the skills and Universal Laws in the periphery of this circle. The racial characteristics or Bloodlines were further into this circle as Daos could be felt even deeper, and Edicts could be felt even further in as at this moment…Noah could feel the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor beginning to erupt near the center of his Origin! Near the center…but not at the exact center as it seemed something even more pristine was waiting for him to place there. But this QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict had come so far as after the 200th Cosmic Resource Points flooded into it… THRUUUM! Noah's Origin bubbled madly with a unique power. WAA! Pristine Flames with the color of Blood fully sprouted, these Flames overpowering Noah's Origin the moment they arrived as they bloomed to cover his whole figure soon after- their appearance into the Ruination Sea causing the environment to quake madly as a pillar of multicolored light began to form above Noah's head! A multicolored pillar of Authority and power that undeniably wanted to announce itself across the whole Reality! But before it could sprout out madly and with defiance… "No." RUMBLE! Noah's eyes swirled with the bloody Flames of the Sanguine Emperor as he commanded out! …! The forming multicolored pillar of light that would have announced the completion of a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict to the whole Reality trembled as it stopped right in its tracks, fearfully receding as only the glorious figure of Noah's Universal Form surrounded by bloody Flames remained. And glorious his figure was as even the essence of Ruination in the surroundings didn't dare to approach him! It was as if he existed in his own space as he lifted his hands up to see the Flames dancing on them- at the bloody Flames that screamed of power and regality that could overpower any Minor or Greater Edicts! He looked at the details of the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor. <Flames of the Sanguine Emperor> :: The Flames of the Sanguine Emperor bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of the Sanguine Emperor. The title of the Sanguine Emperor Bloodline Progenitor is granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 1 other Existence into your Bloodline. The tier of this Edict is extremely high as for the sake of purity, only a single follower is allowed. The follower of the Bloodline of the Sanguine Emperor will gain an increased chance of comprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the required laws and daos to be an eventuality. A natural suppression effect also exists with this Edict against any GREATER or MINOR Nomological Edicts due its higher rank, with the essence of lower Edicts losing 60% of their effectiveness when facing the Sanguine Emperor. As the architect of this Bloodline Edict, you are granted the abilities of <<Bloodline Extraction>> and <<Sanguine Aggregation>> that can be utilized with the essence of the Sanguine Emperor. As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of the Sanguine Emperor, you are granted +5,000,000,000% to All Parameters, +5,000,000,000% to True Defense, and +5,000,000,000% to True Annihilatory Damage. All abilities that utilize the essence of the Sanguine Emperor also have their resource requirement cut down by half, and your Origin begins to produce 100 milliliters of the True Blood of a Higher Existence within your body daily… Utter magnificence bloomed before his eyes as what was promised before could be seen along with even more surprises! The Flames of the Sanguine Emperor were of such a Higher rank that with them, one held a natural suppression against all other Edicts The loss of 60% effectiveness of all Lower-Ranked Edicts! This was a terrifying concept by itself alone as it showed just how horrific the truly powerful existences who could design Edicts like these or even a genuine INSUPERABLE Edict were. If QUASI-INSUPERABLE was also so domineering enough to suppress all lower Edicts by 60%, did one suppress them entirely by 100% if they achieved an INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict?! It was an unanswered question that Noah didn't know how long it would be before he found out! But apart from all this, there was the sight of multiple percentages that synonymously had 5,000,000,000% next to key concepts. 5 Billion in percentage increases for multiple factors- the most important one being All Parameters! WAA! It was why at the completion of this Edict, Noah felt his strength break out multiple levels higher as he found himself questioning whether he would have achieved such a high level of boosts that he could even match someone at the higher Cosmic Realm. That was how powerful he currently felt! His speed, vitality, strength…many other factors were enhanced so crazily that he ached to test what all these percentages truly meant for him. Then of course, there was the fact that instead of nanoliters, the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor granted milliliters of True Blood, a 100 of them daily at that as while Noah was lost in his thoughts- he didn't realize that the conversion of Resplendent Shards of a Cosmic Core and a myriad of other Loot was nearing its end! The change of all of his Blood into True Blood was nearly complete as it had an insignificant percentage remaining, and the moment Noah achieved the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor as its 100 Milliliters of daily blood bloomed out… OOOOM! He actually achieved 100% conversion of True Blood in this manner! He…had met the requirement to become a Higher Existence! The moment this occurred, Noah felt the stellar universal heart within him beat one last time as he raised his hands to find his universal skin being deconstructed into golden particles of utter majesty. Following that… POOOF! His entire Origin released a golden wave of light as his entire body was vaporized, a vast and endless golden sea beginning to spread in its place! Chapter 1370: Higher Existence! I His entire body that was made up of billions of Universes entirely vaporized itself as what was left behind was a vibrant golden sea! Not just his body, but his very Origin that lay at his core had been extinguished into nothingness as one would think they were facing certain death. But it was not so! His soul was perfused throughout the sea of golden blood that had begun to expand crazily as it contained everything about himself- his identity, abilities, laws, daos, edicts…even the flames of his Edicts could be seen stretched out across the golden sea as only concepts remained while he himself faded away! The Cosmic Treasure RUINATION floated mesmerizingly in the fantastically expanding golden sea as apart from all of this, even more terrifying changes occurred in other locations. Within the Infinite Empire, Noah's clones that were spread throughout were disappearing into dust as it caused a great shock to spread on anyone he was around. In the Forgemaster's Universe, Steel Mikhail was with one of Noah's clones as he watched a huge tower shield he especially requested be forged, but his heart shook as he found the Noah he was standing to turn into gray dust in the next second! In the Novus Universe, the Blue Slime was comfortably situated atop the head of one of Noah's clones as in the next second…it felt weightlessness as the being it was on also turned to dust! Through the Infinite Empire, scenes like this occurred for all of Noah's clones as it brought a huge shock to all those who were around him, their minds not even connecting to the possibility of death as it was something that seemed so far away from Noah. And before this shocking thought could permeate any further, a resounding mechanical voice rang out in the minds of everyone that was affected by the recent actions! <He is okay.> The Cosmic Filament Core that still felt the unbreakable connection between it and Noah's soul spoke out, settling the hearts and surprise of all those affected as if we go even further- it wasn't just Noah's clones that disappeared. In the Ruination Realm, one of Noah's three main bodies disappeared as whatever origin and soul was contained within it…it was shuttled through space and back to the nondescript location in the ruination sea where a golden sea of True Blood was expanding! In the Novus Universe, the other original human body of Noah also disappeared as he was watching the progress of those granted the Bloodline of Edicts, all the collection of his Soul and every concept that made it- whether it be skills or Trait unique to this body, it also disappeared in a flash of light to rejoin the mass of expanding True Blood in the far away region. All his bodies and clones perished as they were connected to the same Origin, and this Origin was about to undergo a tremendous and unshakable change as everything was recalled into the mass of True Blood! All the concepts that made Noah were contained within his soul that was stretched out across the bundle of the golden sea, everything about him still being there as when it was all collected… BZZZZT! The golden sea crazily stretched out in four different directions for millions of light years, and then they began to contract back as when the golden pass was pulling into itself, the surrounding itself seemed to be getting squeezed and pulled! Space fluctuated unstable as the ruination sea bent and twisted in a unique space-time phenomenon, Noah's budding consciousness that was watching this in shock finding that when the golden sea of True Blood contracted and squeezed the surrounding space…it eventually became torn as from four different directions, Reality itself tore apart. Reality tore apart as from its tears, pearls of multicolored Essence of Reality stretched out to sink into the golden sea of blood as it went to its very center where it began to shine with utter resplendence! The magisterial Essence of Reality itself released rays of light in the center of his True Blood as from this light…his new Origin began to manifest. Going from a Lower Existence to a Higher Existence actually had such a process where one's very Origin…it was molded by the Essence of Reality! Ah! Furthermore, this process was even more unique to Noah as his three bodies had all of their qualities brought into the golden sea of True Blood where the end product of it would be a single Origin of a Higher Existence. As for what changes this would bring, what gains or losses Noah would have…he had yet to find out. Hundreds of millions of Splendiferous Universes began to bloom as they formed a new Origin, each of them shining a multicolored brilliance as since Noah was an Existence with the Universal Race that had its Origin be its actual body…his consciousness began to see the process as this body became reforged by the fantastical Essence of Reality! Why were Primordials so powerful? What made them stand out since the beginning of time as the strongest beings as countless eons later, they still stood on top of every other existences and races across the myriad of Realities? What gave this race of beings across the multiple races the capability to split apart the Main Reality itself into countless ones to bloom into limitless possibilities?! Well, for one- their Origins were molded by the very Essence of Reality as something that Noah did not yet know was that every single Primordial since their birth…was a Higher Existence. RUMBLE! Majesty crackled and suffused the surroundings as the golden sea of True Blood began to recede calmly around the reforging Origin and body, entering its interconnected system of veins and arteries as this resplendent sea enclosed in on itself to form an enormous golden cocoon the size of a galaxy! THUMP! The cocoon released a constant and resounding beat that caused the surrounding ruination essence to tremble, an oppressive and mystical aura leaking from it with every thump as every now and then, pearls of the Essence of Reality sank into it to complete its transformation. THUMP! Eventually, the cracks in Reality faded as the golden cocoon continued to pulse before within seconds….everything became calm and silent. "..." The waves of ruination sea resumed their activities while staying away from this location, creating a region of blackness that even the essence of Pandemonium would fear. In this region, only a golden cocoon remained! Chapter 1371: Higher Existence! II The weaving of destiny was extremely abstruse as very few could ever truly get a hold of it, but the most important existences within a reality could almost always sense when an event that would have irrevocable changes to their lives occurred. At this moment in time, the major players within a certain Reality felt these changes, but they could not do anything about it. In the Primordial Empire and in the Primordial Sea, Aegon and Hyperion raised their heads as even though they had no direction to look towards to, their Origins trembled as their destiny churned in differing manners. Whether it was warning them of danger or opportunity, neither of them knew! All they knew was that something consequential had happened that would go on to affect their Reality in a huge way. Aegon was perplexed as the possibilities of what this could have been were very little, but Hyperion's eyes shone with carefulness as they recalled a certain being he was contractually bound to! But none of them had any idea that in a small region of space within the vast Ruination Sea, a hand glimmering in multicolored stellar light broke free from a cocoon. OOOM! While releasing an awe inspiring air and power, the entire body attached to this hand broke out of the cocoon that shattered into particles of light that receded into this body that came to float serenely in a region of blackness that even the essence of ruination stayed away from! "Hooo…" His voice came out in waves as his entire body pulsed with a golden glow, Noah feeling inexplicable changes all around him as his entire body and Origin felt foreign even to him. It gave off a multicolored glow as he wasn't adorned in any clothes, his purple blue Universal Form being free for all to see as apart from the sculpted stellar muscles, one could also notice the incredible Runic Dao Lines tinged with golden rings that were etched throughout his body, and his eyes that shone bright red and gold with the Eye of Ruination and the Primordial Eye! His body shone mostly with the purple blue color of billions of stellar Universes, but the glow of gold seemed to be fighting amidst the array of colors as it stemmed from the Liters of True Blood that now coursed through him. His face…its devilish handsomeness was stupendously elevated by multiple factors as he seemed to carry a trace of beauty and grace that would blind any lower existences! It was why a being like Cecilia preferred to wear a veil as the inherent beauty of Higher Existences was just too extreme! But of course, Noah wouldn't be able to see the full effects of this unless another person glanced at him. In the past few hours, his consciousness flittered in and out of existence as he knew that his very body and origin were being reforged as he became a Higher Existence, and he wouldn't know the terrific extent of all of the changes until he looked deeply into himself and tested everything! But…there was an entity that was connected deep with his soul that was able to see everything- all the changes that occurred to him even now. <I can display the changes that have occurred so far, Master.> The voice of the Cosmic Filament Core rang out as Noah smiled lightly. "Go ahead." WAA! <The bodies and Origins of a Lower Existence have been shed as with the reforging through the Essence of Reality, you have gained the title of a Higher Existence.> <The separate Origins under you have been fused into one, all the Traits stemming from each being carried within the single body of a Higher Existence.> …! <With the complete change to your physiology and nature, a new stage has opened up before you as the information is summarized within the Higher Existence Title, with much more waiting for your own exploration.> Golden text after golden text dripped before Noah's stellar eyes as he calmly read through it, his gaze landing on a bundle of text that spoke about the title of a Higher Existence! <Higher Existence> A title granted to accomplished existences that have had their Origins forged by the Essence of Reality itself. The Stage of a Higher Existence allows one to seamlessly break the bounds of their Reality and traverse outside of it as one feels a pull within their very Origin towards the Main Reality. The Origin of a Higher Existence is unique as the True Blood coursing through it allows for the passive formation of 100 Million Splendiferous Universes daily, as well as the capability to store and utilize the Essence of Reality within one's origin. The regeneration of Essence of Reality is an extremely hard task as the easiest way is to meet the prerequisite of forging an Ascendant Halo through the connection of 15 Flames of Edicts. A formed Ascendant Halo can allow the formation of a connection to a Reality under unique conditions and requirements that as long as they are met, one can continue to gain a slow rate of regeneration of the Essence of Reality. Other ways to regenerate the Essence of Reality may exist as they await your exploration. With the Origin of a Higher Existence, one can easily design their own Lesser and Grand Daos as they are also proficient in designing Cosmic Daos, and the fusion of these Daos and Laws into Edicts can be done with much more ease as the Primordial Eye is naturally granted. As a Higher Existence, all those below you can only gaze at your grandeur as you release a natural Aura of Ascendancy that grants you immunity from any Laws, Lesser Daos, and Grand Daos that Lower Existences utilize against you. The effectiveness of Cosmic Daos being utilized against you from Lower Existences is also reduced by 90% as the effectiveness of Nomological Edicts of the MINOR Rank is reduced by 50%. A passive immunity of 20% against True Annihilatory Soul and Physical Damage is also granted against Lower and Higher Existences. The elevation as a Higher Existence also allows for the recalibration of all of your quantified statuses(Vitality, Strength, and Focus) into a singular status value termed Ascendancy Value(With the inflation from the Focus Value due to the Infinite Mana Trait not being accounted for). The Ascendancy Value of a Higher Existence accounts for their base damage, defensive, and all other parameters as it can be raised by the elevation in Realm, completed Daos and Edicts, and even more greatly elevated through the formation of Ascendancy Halos through Flames of Edicts. Current Ascendancy Value:.75 …! OOOM! The glorious achievement of a Higher Existence and what it represented was right before Noah's eyes as there were too many things to unpack! But everything else aside, the two words that were always encrypted this whole time when it came to what 15 Flames of Edicts formed were finally clear before Noah's eyes. The titular words of <Ascendancy Halo> fully enamored Noah's eyes at this moment! --- <Author Note> The [Higher Existence] title seems broken up in two on web novel no matter how much I try to edit it. The portion that is broken up reads like so :: <<The regeneration of Essence of Reality is an extremely hard task as the easiest way is to meet the prerequisite of forging an Ascendant Halo through the connection of 15 Flames of Edicts.>> Also, a big thanks to all those sending gifts and continuing to support the novel- from Ice Colas all the way to Gachapons, you rock! We've been dancing in the top 10s for over a year now? Let's keep it going! Chapter 1372: Higher Existence! III Within a Reality, a single Existence surpassed all others in achieving a vastly different stage of existence, but the Destiny of others within this Reality also contributed to the constant weaving of events as something crucial actually occurred around this same time. Within the vast Primordial Sea. Hyperion's Draconic-Elephantine form vibrated with power as he called upon the True Blood within him that he had forged for millions of years with the help of multiple Flames of Edicts. He held 9 Edicts as with the 2 on the being who had a bidding contract by the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict along with 4 he promised to achieve in a short period of time, they would be able to achieve the 15 required Flames of Edicts that Primordials used to forge Systems! 'It is either this path to help me break out of the shackles of my Reality…or The achievement of becoming a Higher Existence!' His eyes flashed sharply as he thought of his ultimate aim- of his freedom that was so hard to achieve as he was born from this Reality and promised to die with it! Would achieving the stage of a Higher Existence help with this? Would forging a System also be an answer? Hyperion was not entirely sure as the least he could do was continue to try. So his Origin continued to call upon the True Blood and Essence of Reality within him to further refine his Cosmos and elevate another Edict towards completion, trusting on his power more than anything else as he would never fully put his trust on even the existence with the seemingly boundless destiny like Noah Osmont! Around this same time… THRUM! A certain connection he held began to buzz with activity as his Primordial Eye of the Kaiser opened with a burst of light and gazed upwards! Past the pristine white sea and past the crimson sea that lay behind it, gazing all the way past the fabric of Reality itself as he followed the connection of his very Bloodline towards the other end that connected to an entirely different location. Since it was a connection of Bloodline, it was naturally another Ender of Reality or something even more terrifying on the other side! "Can you hear me, Little Ender? Your impatience may have paid off as I have a proposition for you." RUMBLE! Hyperion's eyes flashed with a light of anger and cruelty at the tone of this being, his eyes swirling with power as he contained himself and replied coldly. "What proposition would that be?" "During a recent scuffle, we came across a Quasi-Primordial Relic from some inept Primal Titans. It's not the Primordial Relic I promised you…but it is a Quasi-Primordial Relic that uniquely has a feature capable of achieving the goal of your…responsibility!" …! The Archaic voice of another Ender of Reality echoed out in Hyperion's mind as his eyes couldn't help but drip with disappointment. This was why one could not depend on any others to achieve their aims, even if they claimed to have been in the same position as you as they achieved the freedom you sought! But…Hyperion was a practical being. He was getting his hands dirty for them, and they were granting him something in return. He could not complain. So he maintained his calm as he replied passively. "And how is it uniquely fitting what we are doing in this Reality?" "...this Quasi-Primordial Relic only has two functions- and those are to temporarily bring the Realm of an existence in the Cosmic Filament Rank down to the Cosmic Rank and also act as a binding treasure. With the Primordial Cecilia as the target, I trust you will then be able to take her down? This will be the first task that fully allows you entrance into our glorious Lineage." WAA! A fantastical pathway lay open for Hyperion to take as his calm eyes filled with ancientness and distrust listened to these honeyed words as he sent his approval. "A Quasi-Primordial Relic it shall be then." "Good. Be ready." OOOOM! The moment these words ended, the connection of Bloodline that Hyperion knew all too well began to expand rapidly, his Origin sensing horrendously powerful spatial essence being sent down this connection as it carried with it an actual object! An object…being sent across Realities! 'Hmm…' As this process occurred, Hyperion's Primordial Eye of the Kaiser shone with immense brilliance as it released a terrifying but silent light that traveled up the connection that a Quasi-Primordial Relic was being sent down on. His vibrant Primordial Eye of the Kaiser released this silent essence powerfully as it even began to bleed golden blood, but Hyperion continued doing his actions even as he felt the object he was being sent pierce into his Primordial Sea and begin to descend above him in a grand fashion! THRUUM! Its descent came with an awe inspiring air as when Hyperion raised his three eyes, he saw a fantastical and archaic bell shaped treasure floating gloriously before him. "The Eonic Bell of the Unguarded…forged by the Primal Titans that only rival Primordials in their abilities of forging, this Quasi-Primordial Relic is enough to bring down the realm of a Cosmic Filament existence for a whole hour and even has binding properties for any of those in this rank. During that time…do not disappoint!" …! The words seemed akin to an Elder talking to a junior, but Hyperion's hiddenly wrathful face maintained his impassivity as he only grunted his affirmation, his essence going on to wrap around the Eonic Bell of the Unguarded to start studying it. The connection to him then began to close and weaken, but the Primordial Eye of the Kaiser that had been bleeding golden blood still managed to sneak an abundant amount of essence up the connection as even with the pain and sacrifice that Hyperion had endured, he would only manage to pry into the closed off connection for a few seconds! But these few seconds…would be enough to affirm exactly which type of beings he was aligning himself with. The seconds would be enough to decide the tides of Destiny! Chapter 1373: Higher Existence! IV With his Primordial Eye of the Kaiser bleeding bloody gold, Hyperion listened. "...you…as- cruel as ever…." With the connection broken as Hyperion should not have been able to hear anything from the other party, his bleeding eye still continued to gaze upwards as he actually caught glimpses of words occurring near the same being that had just granted him the Quasi-Primordial Relic- and the voice echoing out seemed to actually be from another being! "The one and only Tyrant Beast Pyxis…why would you send an interesting upcoming Ender of Reality like that to his death? You know it is impossible for a Lower Existence to ever kill a Higher Existence." WAA! The voice released an archaic intonation as it seemed to come from an extremely old existence, Hyperion hearing it as his eyes blazed further with rage and wrath while still maintaining his stature of dignity and power, continuing to listen in further! "Impossible, yes. But this Little Ender is unique as he is halfway through becoming a Higher Existence and has already collected 9 Flames of Edicts. Even with a negligible Ascendancy Value, it should still be capable of wounding and heavily injuring a Primordial brought down into the same Realm." …! The ancient voice of the Ender of Reality Hyperion knew echoed out in an arrogant fashion as the connection he was peering through was nearly about to collapse! "Killing a single Primordial is akin to killing millions of them. They hunt down all those Marked Ones that have killed their kind as too many Enders of Realities have met their doom in this manner! Once this Primordial is heavily injured and is traversing Realities to recuperate, we shall be there to finish off the job as the Marked Ones will not be us…we will get to enjoy the benefits while being free of any of the dangers so long as we move correctly." WAA! "Haha, as cruel as ever, Pyxis! Very well, then I shall partake in swallowing the rare Origin of a Primordial!" "Good-" BZZZT! Just like that, the essence he had managed to silently slip past and listen in on the surroundings of the connection cut off. "..." His surroundings were utterly silent as his body released waves of power, his three eyes locked onto the [Eonic Bell of the Unguarded] as the words of Pyxis rang out in his mind over and over again. "Good." RUMBLE! His ancient voice was tinged with disappointment and wrath as he gazed out into the vast Primordial Sea and all the existences within it. Just like how he didn't care for the Grand and Lesser Primordial Beasts under him, neither did the Ender of Reality and the power that lay behind them! The words of a certain Tyrant rang out in Hyperion's mind at this moment as he found himself grasping onto the [Eonic Bell of the Unguarded] tightly. 'It's nothing personal.' Something that Osmont had said to Stormdust not too long ago resounded in his kind as Flames of multiple Edicts erupted around Hyperion! Everything was for the sake of power and one's own benefits, and Hyperion would forge forward as he saw this mentality increasingly stretch even to the highest level of existences he knew. They would plot and scheme. He would plot and scheme. At the end of it all…they shall see who lived the longest and prospered! RUMBLE! The True Blood within him boiled with power and grandeur as he continued to seek for his freedom. And he would achieve it without a doubt. For he….was Hyperion! — Ascendancy Halo! Ascendancy Value! Two new concepts that came with the elevation to a Higher Existence, and also information that explained more about the power of Primordials! Once one held 15 Flames of Edicts, they could be connected to form an Ascendancy Halo that was actually one of the major determining factors of one's Ascendancy Value- which was simply a measure of all of their power. In the case of Noah, this number could be trusted and not trusted at the same time as when one compared him to Higher Existences, he had the perk of Infinite Mana that others could not even dream of! But just how did this perke compare to Primordial and Higher Existences? "Being capable of forging 100 Million Splendiferous Universes daily…what a ridiculous reality!" Even though he had the identity of a Higher Existence himself, he still marveled at the fact that Primordials had the perk of the passive formation of 100 Million Splendiferous Universes as in a short period of 1,000 days…they would achieve the Cosmic Realm. Approximately 3 years- and one achieved the Cosmic Realm! No need to fight! No need for treasures! Just by being a Higher Existence alone, the Cosmic Realm was guaranteed. How long would it take before they stepped into the Cosmic Filament Realm? And with the rate of 100 Million Splendiferous Universes every day, just how ridiculous was the advancement in this Realm that even an existence like Cecilia who had lived for dozens of millions of years was still only in the Cosmic Filament Realm? There were too many mysteries to look over as the main thing that came on Noah's mind surrounding this concept was that the older a Higher Existence was…the more powerful they were bound to be! THRUM! He could feel this right now as within his Origin, he currently sensed 60 Billion Universes as his elevated into a Higher Existence seemed to have granted him a few billion more, and thousands of Splendiferous Universes were constantly being formed in his body in a passive manner as even if he did nothing, he would achieving the Cosmic Realm in around a Year. "Glorious…" Yes, this and the concept of Ascendancy Halos and Ascendancy Values were the first Glorious concepts of becoming a Higher Existence! The next biggest thing that Noah saw was the Aura of Ascendancy that wholly separated Higher Existences and Lower Existences. It made him instantly think of the enemy that Halcyon had foreseen would exterminate Reality- of Aegon, the Champion of Reality himself and where he currently stood against this being in terms of power! Even though he was an entire Realm Higher, with Noah's perks and natural suppression as a Higher Existence, would Aegon still be an undefeatable figure with his System? This was the question. And when it came to questions… THRUM! The Flames of Commandment erupted out at a faster rate than anything Noah had seen before, the changes in his elevation of status barely manifesting themselves yet as the activation of the <Vault of Commandments> was completed over 100 times faster than what Noah could do before. His eyes shone with languid light as he wondered in terms of power, how did Aegon compare to his.75 Ascendancy Value as a Higher Existence at the Universal Filament Realm?! "What is Aegon's Ascendancy Value?" THRUM! The Flames of Commandment wavered and rose madly as droves of Mana flooded out, the glimmer of Reality altering effects that this essence had flooding out as moments later…a golden answer rose before Noah's eyes. <<The Champion of Reality has not achieved the level of a Higher Existence as his Ascendancy Value has not been assigned, but based on his Realm of power and current Edicts, an approximate Ascendancy Value of.70 is most accurate.>> WAA! Noah smiled in a dazzling fashion as his surroundings began to tremble and quake. It seemed that the natural suppression of the Aura of Ascendancy was enough to overcome a gap in an entire Realm when comparing to a Lower Existence as at this point in time…he had actually stepped ahead of the Champion of Reality! Chapter 1374: Higher Existence! V He had actually exceeded the Champion if Relauty that had been granted the Invincible System and had been proceeding on the path of power for millions of years! And of course, how could he not? As a Higher Existence, his Aura of Ascendancy alone made him immune to much of the attacks of a Lower Existence, where only the essence of a Cosmic Dao would have an effect that was even further reduced by 90% while even Minor Nomological Edicts have their effectiveness cut by 50% against him. Just with this alone, any Lower Existence would have to bow his head when facing Noah. But the question came about this being's System and how such things factored into Ascendancy Values- as even Noah didn't have his Infinite Mana being something accounted for even though it made up everything about him! So even though Ascendancy Values were bound to be important as they showed off the level of power for Higher Existences, they were also not absolute as anomalous beings like Noah could have things that could not even be accounted for. "Hoo…" Noah released a breath as he thought the information he already had was sufficient enough, but this seemed like a signal to the Cosmic Filament Core as its prompts continued to descend in shimmering golden letters even now. <Your Origin has been reforged by the Essence of Reality all three Traits of Infinite Mana, Protagonist, and Samsara Universal Dao Origin have taken up root in the newly forged space where the Essence of Reality can now be stored. If bathed within by a significant amount of this unique Essence, there lays a possibility for the Evolution of these Traits.> WAA! <Since a Primordial Eye had already been attained before ascending to become a Higher Existence, a change has occurred as the old Primordial Eye has been transformed into the Primordial Eye of the Pioneer.> <....> "Hold on there just a second!" The prompts would continue to descend down if Noah had not spoken out against the Cosmic Filament Core, and his smile was brilliant as he took the time to adapt to the new changes he found in the golden prompts! He first checked his glimmering Origin that was molded by the Essence of Reality as he could barely describe the current feeling of this Origin now. One could compare his old Origin to a bicycle and his new one to an entirely too expensive electric car as everything about it felt dazzling, but nothing more so than the unique enclosure near the center of his Origin where he saw…a small cluster of the Essence of Reality. "I actually obtained the leftovers?" His eyes couldn't hide their smile as he saw he had gained a significant portion of the Essence of Reality after his transformation, not all of it being used to reforge his Origin as the remainder stayed with him! And he… WAA! …could actually will it to move freely as his consciousness wrapped around the multicolored essence that began to move under his commands. Within this space in his Origin where this Essence was stored, he also felt the core concepts that made up his traits as he expectantly watched to see what the future would bring for him if they truly evolved while being basked in the Essence of Reality! Thereafter, he focused on his left eye. His Primordial Eye that he had obtained from the Runic Dao Line of the Primordial Dao was something that could also be obtained from becoming a Higher Existence, and since he already had one during this process…his eye underwent an evolution! OOOM! His stellar eyes changed color quickly as while his Eye of Ruination remained crimson with its rings, his Primordial Eye's Iris had changed from the stacked triangles as the iris on it now…had two golden wings etched onto it in a dazzling fashion. As Noah focused on it, this brilliant eye released waves of golden light as its name came to him! "The Primordial Eye of the Pioneer…" Pioneer! An existence that paved the way forward before any others! The one to explore areas that others do not normally explore! Uniquely enough, Noah would not be the only one to gain the Eye of the Pioneer as there were actually other existences like Hyperion, Noah Eckert, and even Aegon that would achieve it if they also became higher existences. "But how different are you exactly?" His words triggered a flash of light as brilliant new golden words appeared before his eyes! <Primordial Eye of the Pioneer> :: The title of a Pioneer is granted to the one that leads others by example. The Primordial Eye of the Pioneer grants its holder the capability to see all constructs in their natural forms and be capable of distinguishing their composition and origin, including the essence of laws, daos, and Edicts. With the affix of [Pioneer], Edicts can now be analyzed and broken down into individual components as they can then be restructured in different ways to grant you the authority as the Architect of an Edict even if you weren't the first to stumble upon it. The holder of the Primordial Eye of the Pioneer is also capable of all the analytical and covert abilities of a normal Primordial as in addition to this, they can be utilized to momentarily grant one the {Wings of the Pioneer} that allow for +5,000,000,000% Movement, Attack, and Cast Speed…. A wondrous new Primordial Eye that apart from the analytical abilities of his old one- this one stupendously gave him the perks of being able to break down the Edicts of other beings and then simply fuse them in a slightly different way to form these same Edicts as if they were his own! Apart from this, he also gained a percentage increase of Attack, Cast, and Movement Speed that rivaled the percentage he received from the boosts of his only QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict with the mere usage of this eye, the boons Noah gained from attaining the stage of a Higher Existence not being little! Chapter 1375: Higher Existence! VI "Alright…" He flexed his muscles that vibrated like exploding Universes as he fully sensed his overflowing power, finishing checking everything new while watching the prompts of the Cosmic Filament Core on small minute changes that didn't drastically elevate his power. He also recalled how his clones and main body had undergone 'death' as he was reforged, thinking of the people closest to him that must be worried as he gazed at the abilities of the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of the Sanguine Emperor! He had yet to gaze at the abilities of <Bloodline Extraction> and <Sanguine Aggregation> that he unlocked by completing this Edict, but his eyes were currently focused on <Sanguinity> that allowed for 3 True Sanguine Clones at the level of a Higher Existence and an unlimited number of clones at the level of a Lower Existence! "Let's have the True Sanguine Clones at the level of Higher Existences first." THRUM! His mana moved in his Origin as with his ridiculous rate of Mana usage efficiency and conduction with his newly forged Origin, he saw that everything occurred the span of a tenth of a millisecond as his mana and True Blood surged in synchrony and an instant later…a brilliant glow of light surged that produced from it an existence exactly like him! A body releasing the same glow and power- a body no different than his current body as it couldn't even truly be called a clone. But this was one of the three True Sanguine Clones that Noah could call forth as Higher Existences. "More." WAA! His True Blood churned once more and is synergies with mana, the two resources being used up as in another instant, two more True Sanguine Clones bloomed in the Ruination Sea as four Noah's each releasing a shocking aura of power glanced at each other! Thereafter, his body glowed dozens of times in the next few milliseconds as around him- over 100 more Noah's appeared in a grandiose fashion! These Noah's didn't have the golden glow of a Higher Existence present on the four central Noah's as they were Lower Existences, but the power they could display was still something utterly ridiculous as Noah truly could summon an Infinite amount of such Clones. "Yet they do drain True Blood…" Noah's voice echoed out as he sensed his constantly regenerating True Blood that was required along with mana to produce these Clones had dwindled, this being the only possible limiter that he would have to test in the future to come. As for this future…there were still many things for him to do! He had three more Edicts to complete, the task of Bloodlines to extract and look at possibilities of Fusion, and especially the Bloodline of the Universal Emperor Slime that was the last of its kind! When it came to the condition of Edicts he had to complete with Hyperion, he could forge new Edicts and complete them as he planned to seek new QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edicts or even genuine INSUPERABLE Edicts, or he could simply complete the Edicts he currently had like Forgemaster, Bulwark, and Cessation. All Minor Edicts, and all of them would be extremely easy to complete as he now held a significant amount of the Essence of Reality left over from his advancement as a Higher Existence! There were possibilities and paths for him to choose from, but as always…he would consult with his destiny and fortune for the best path forward as for now…he had to calm the hearts of those he unconsciously traumatized within the Infinite Empire. SHAA! His Sanguine Clones disappeared as they teleported to multiple locations, some going towards multiple Cosmos within the Infinite Empire while one of the True Sanguine Clones at the level of a Higher Existence teleported towards the Cosmic Holy Land! As for Noah's main body… "Let's test the speed and power, hmm?" His body brimmed with awe as his Primordial Eye of the Pioneer shone with a rapid light, the two wings within them enlarging in the span of less than a millisecond as they appeared on Noah's back in a stupendous fashion. BZZZT! He released waves of incredulous power as 5 Billion percent was granted in three parameters of Speed, his eyes looking towards the direction where he sensed his Infinite Empire as he…took a single step. WAP! His leg lifted in the vast Ruination Sea as halfway through his step…he arrived before the boundary of one of the outer Cosmos of his Infinite Empire! "..." This speed wasn't even fast anymore, but simply mind bending as it was far, far faster than light as it just seemed like Noah flitted through space and even did something that was faster than teleportation! "Haha!" He let out a devilish laugh as his feet moved once more, his figure instantly vanishing and appearing in a space filled with ice and snow. His Sanguine Clones would go see all the beings closest to him as his main body appeared in this space of ice and snow to see none other than the Ice Queen! Adelaide's surprised figure turned around as her fair hands that were playing with the fluttering snow of pristine beauty around her came to stop, gazing towards Noah's form in utter shock as he still had his aura of a Higher Existence leaking out along with the golden wings currently glowing vibrantly on his back. Any other being that saw this might have fallen into a stupor as they fell to their knees, but Adelaide looked at Noah's devilishly handsome face as she only turned into a streak of light that rushed into his embrace! "You…you scared us!" Adelaide rushed towards him with her clear blue eyes watery as she wrapped her arms around his radiant figure, Noah stroking her vibrant blue hair as he smiled lightly. "When you just disappeared like that and even my messages couldn't reach you, I…we…" She raised her head from his chest as she looked deeply into his stellar eyes, Noah looking back into hers as he spoke with a smile on his face. "You don't have to worry. I will always be here." WAA! Adelaide's eyes shone with light as she heard this, her voice echoing out softly as she sank back into his chest. "Now and always?" "Now and always." Noah gave a firm reply as Adelaide's heart brightened up, speaking even more softly and with a sense of shyness this time around. "Then…I think I may have a solution for the only problem you can't tackle. Something me and you can work on right now…" Her eyes were hazy as she spoke, Noah looking towards her with interest as he listened, his own eyes soon releasing a sharp light of decisiveness when he heard her shy words as he wondered why he didn't think of such an easy solution! "For this…we can definitely get started right away!" WAA! His main body began to take on an important task with the Ice Queen as his other Sanguine Clones spread out across the Infinite Empire, the three at the level of Higher Existences looking at the many things Noah still had to do as they also began on their tasks. On the menu were the abilities from the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor, the generation of True Blood for his companions and the Extraction of Bloodlines, as well as the completion of Edicts so that he could cheese his way towards the Cosmic Realm! Chapter 1376: Bloodline Extraction! I In the midst of grandiose actions like becoming a Higher Existences and constructing Edicts at the level of Quasi-Insuperable Tier, Noah was brought down to earth on one of the only things he could not yet solve- the issue of his mother that was chained in time by something even he could not fully understand- Love! Yet such an issue had received a wondrous proposal from Adelaide, and Noah only needed a few milliseconds before he thought about everything as the essence of Kismet then began to dance wildly within his Origin, his destiny also rising in waves as it showed this was a very likely successful path. Before he began though, he looked at the shy figure of the Ice Queen that was always stoic, yet she could barely raise her head at this moment to look at him! He smiled as he spoke out calmly towards this wonderful existence. "Before we start, why don't I advance you towards another stage of existence first?" WAA! Yes! Under the ability of <Bloodline Transmogrification> that stemmed from the Nomological Edict of the Sanguine Emperor, Noah could extend his authority towards 9nother beings as a maximum of 40% of their Blood can be transformed into True Blood, and another extension to 81 other beings as a maximum of 20% of their Blood can be transformed into True Blood! The first existence that would be granted this honor…would be none other than Adelaide. She looked towards him with utter trust in her eyes as she nodded, Noah's heart calming as his essence called upon the authority of the Sanguine Emperor. OOOOM! His hand rose up as it became tinged with a crystalline color of golden True Blood, almost turning transparent as it went towards Adelaide's chest and…actually sunk in as if his hand was incorporeal! His hand sunk into her chest as he went toward to grab onto her very Origin, something so entirely dangerous that if he did anything wrong, the Origin of the target could be heavily damaged or ruined. Yet Adelaide was entirely free of worry as she lay all her trust on this being, feeling his hands cradling her Origin as a tyrannical authority wrapped around it and began to pulse with constant hums. THRUM! The hums were fantastical and awe-inducing, where they increased in repetition more and more as golden blood began to leak from Noah's hands and wrap around the Origin- inducing it to begin forming True Blood of its own as Adelaide's blood began to tremble and boil until golden dewdrops of True Blood began to naturally form within her! Bloodline Transmogrification. The Induction of the True Blood of another existence that was an authority only brought about by the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of the Sanguine Emperor. It was a process that took time as while Noah completed it carefully with Adelaide, his other bodies went to see Barbatos, Elena, Valentina, Anna, and many others who had been with his clones prior, and one of his True Sanguine Clones was in the Cosmic Holy Land as he glanced at the two abilities obtained after he completed the Nomological Edict of the Sanguine Emperor and received its Flames. <<Bloodline Extraction>> :: The undeniable will of the Sanguine Emperor can call upon the bloodlines of willing or defeated enemies to extract their core Bloodline Essence. The Sanguine Emperor will take this core Bloodline Essence onto himself as he can replicate the Bloodline onto himself, with differing fates waiting for those who had their Bloodline Essence extracted. The fate of True Death can be granted as the entire Bloodline is extracted from an enemy, or the fate of transformation into a Bloodborne Herald can be granted onto an ally as their extracted Bloodline Essence will recover within days. All extracted Bloodlines harmoniously live in the Origin of the Sanguine Emperor as they will be distinguished into different Tiers of Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, Supreme, or Venerable Bloodlines. A possibility to combine different Bloodlines into one exists with the ability of <Sanguine Aggregation>>.... Bloodline Extraction! A stupendous ability with the astounding possibility of allowing Noah to stack onto himself as many Bloodlines as he could get his hands on. From the Bloodline Races he knew and came across to Bloodlines he would come across when he explored the vast Realities and what they held within them…he had the chance to put them all under him as they would even be classified from Common to Uncommon to Rare, and ultimately from Ultra Rare to Supreme Bloodlines and even Venerable Bloodlines! 'What are the Tiers of my current Bloodlines anyways?' WAA! Such a thought entered his mind as he gazed into his exceedingly long status panel filled with too many details, gazing at the Bloodlines he had already collected as his eyes shone with surprise at their Tiers! [Bloodline(s): Human- Common, Vampyre Progenitor- Common, Universal Dao Origin- Uncommon, Kismet- Uncommon, Samsara- Rare, Commandment- Rare, Sanguine Emperor-Rare] Noah's eyes shone sharply as he didn't fully agree with the classification that he was looking at! His Bloodline of a Human and Vampyre both received a Common rating as even the Universal Dao Origin Race and the Bloodline of Kismet that stemmed from a MINOR Edict were only labeled uncommon. Most of all, the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict that granted the Bloodline of the Sanguine Emperor was still ranked [Rare] alongside Commandment and Samsara! Noah had at least expected Sanguine Emperor to be Ultra Rare, but he was proved wrong at this moment and led to believe that maybe only genuine INSUPERABLE Edicts would reach this title. "Even if it is Rare, it should still be a matter of classification as the Sanguine Emperor definitely ranks above Samsara and Commandment…" Noah analyzed what he saw with sharp eyes as he planned for the future, trying to imagine just what sorts of Bloodlines apart from those stemming from Nomological Edicts would be ranked Ultra Rare or Supreme! Just what existence in the vast Realities could possibly have such Bloodlines, and what terrific wonder would they contain within their bodies? This question alone caused Noah's Origin to vibrate as his senses of a Higher Existence pointed him towards the vastness outside of this Reality, his heart excited for the Infinite things that he knew nothing of and wanted to explore in the unknown! Chapter 1377: Bloodline Extraction! II Noah's burning gaze of longing for the unknown left the Tiers of Bloodlines as he looked at the last ability that came with the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor- the ability that brought everything together, and one that would actually allow him to forge higher Tier Bloodlines! <<Sanguine Aggregation>> :: Across the countless Realities, the number of races and Bloodlines are too many to count as those that can be considered significant are few. The ability of Sanguine Aggregation allows the Sanguine Emperor to seek the Bloodlines unknown to others as it allows for one to aggregate the Bloodlines they have come across into something new, the product always being unknown and depending on the Tiers of Bloodlines selected for Aggregation. The Essence of Reality is required alongside the essence of the Sanguine Emperor to successfully combine different Bloodlines, and the possibility to unlock Ancient Bloodlines lost in history. One of the core uses of Sanguine Aggregation is the combination of the Bloodlines of Edicts- an action that is a more powerful method of bringing together the Flames of Edicts to form into an Ascendancy Halo. The Aggregation of 15 Bloodline Edicts will grant a completed Ascendancy Halo as with this method, a chance to attain a higher ranking Halo is made possible- even though the determinants of the tier are based on the Ranks of the Edicts combined… Sanguine Aggregation! A method that Noah had opened a grand path through that was not too common, and Noah didn't think that even someone like Cecilia could have a method like this under her sleeve! With it, he wasn't just allowed to fuse Bloodlines into terrifying possibilities- but he could utilize it to fuse his Flames of Edicts and obtain something that mainly Higher Existences and beings from extremely powerful races like Primordials had a chance of obtaining- an Ascendancy Halo. His Origin buzzed at the mere thought of this concept as Noah wanted to get his hands on such a thing already but… 'Patience…patience…' He breathed out calmly as he repeated in his mind he had to be methodical and patient in what he did as he still missed many conditions and could not make any mistakes from this point onward! So after looking over Bloodline Extraction and Sanguine Aggregation, there was only one thing for this body of Noah to do as spatial waves emanated from him and reached out into another Universe. WAP! The figure of the bouncing Blue Slime appeared on the right side of the golden throne within the Cosmic Holy Land, bouncing up and down excitedly from seeing one of Noah's True Sanguine Clones! "Hey little guy." Noah took in this bubbly and unique existence into his hands as he sent his thoughts forward on what he wanted to do, and even though the Blue Slime jumped up and down in agreement, Noah still wanted to grant this summon something in exchange for undergoing the process of <Bloodline Extraction>. "We'll go ahead and induce the formation of True Blood within you right after, while you will be the first to become a Bloodborne Herald!" WAA! Yes! If they were allies, Noah could turn them into Bloodline Heralds under the Bloodline of the Sanguine Emperor- especially those that he extracted and copied the Bloodlines of. "Let's do it!" The vibrant voice of the Blue Slime echoed out as Noah nodded, placing the creature within his palm as he closed his eyes and called out slowly. "Bloodline Extraction." THRUM! The Bloodline of the Universal Emperor Slime that could devour anything and obtain it. Noah wanted it under him as his body shone with a crimson gold light that went to bathe the Blue Slime, the Authority of the Sanguine Emperor calling for the dense Bloodline to come out in the open so that Noah could replicate it! A glorious show of light began as this process fully ensued, and this was something that also took time similar to how Noah was also simultaneously using Bloodline Transmogrification to induce the formation of True Blood within Adelaide. Noah was tackling multiple things at once as he still moved calmly amidst what would be a chaotic environment, where even as he induced the formation of True Blood with one body and extracted a Bloodline with another body…yet another one of his True Sanguine Clones was undertaking another glorious task. In another area of the vast Cosmic Holy Land, one of the True Sanguine Clones sat with the few remaining Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart as his task…was the design of other Edicts! Within his hands, a golden book could be seen as Noah looked over passages of his own future with <Reader's Foresight>, this stupendous ability and <Path to Victory> under the Nomological Edict of Kismet showing him that he would benefit much more in the future if he designed more high tier Edicts at the level of Greater and QUASI-INSUPERABLE that he then brought to completion. He could simply complete Cessation, Bulwark, and Forgemaster- but these were merely Minor Edicts as when the time came for him to forge his first Ascendancy Halo…his destiny was screaming out to him that the Flames of Daos he used would be extremely important. The higher the level, the better! So the next task that Noah was simultaneously tackling was… "Let's see what we can do with the Cthulhu Skill Tree and the Seven Deadly Sins along with a combination of Laws and Daos, shall we?" RUMBLE! Yet another experiment in other concepts and Daos as Noah was excited to see if it would result in another Quasi-Insuperable Edict or something even more fantastical. He already had an idea of what he wanted to bring to fruition with the concepts of the Seven Deadly Sins and Cthulhu, and they would all have to be tied in by a concept that had yet to be designed- a concept of a Cosmic Dao that far surpassed normal ones as it reached the ranks of the Supreme Cosmic Daos Primordial and Ruination! With his body of a Higher Existence releasing waves of golden light, Noah spoke out grandly. "Start the design of the Supreme Cosmic Dao of Armageddon." OOOOM! A Supreme Cosmic Dao with the terrifying purpose of catastrophically ending everything! This was Armageddon, and it would be Noah's first Supreme Cosmic Dao while on the path to forging an even more ridiculous Nomological Edict! Chapter 1378: Seeking Apocalypse! I The formulation of Daos was always a favorite pastime for Noah, with the design bringing a sense of fulfillment every single time that it was completed from the Cosmic Filament Core. This time around Noah was conducting multiple actions with his clones as after a True Sanguine Clone sent the command to begin the design of the Supreme Cosmic Dao of Armageddon, the Cosmic Core went to work as it designed what Noah had in mind and changed what could not be brought to fruition until a wonderful product was completed! OOOM! At the depths of the Cosmic Filament Core, an austere light of majesty hummed out more than normal as this was the design of the first Supreme Cosmic Dao, the Authority such a concept held surpassing many things as one had to ask themselves- what made it Supreme? Ruination destroyed while Primordial built- and these were the two Supreme Cosmic Daos behind the balance of the Cosmos spread out across Reality. For an essence that rivaled such concepts, Armageddon had to be unique! BZZZT! The fantastic show and birth of this powerful Dao occurred silently as most of the beings within the Infinite Empire were preoccupied with Noah's return and the new glow of majesty he held, its formation also being completed silently as an obsidian Runic mark swiftly shot out from the Cosmic Filament Core and rushed towards Noah's main body that was currently floating in front of Adelaide. His concentration as he finished inducing the 40% True Blood within her wasn't reduced even by a little as the terrifying black Runic sigil that read <Armageddon> sank into his Origin, his body beginning to resonate with a resonant light as this newly forged Supreme Cosmic Dao bound itself to his Origin and began to produce a new essence! An essence…that should have been rivaling that of Ruination and Primordial bloomed within his Origin at a terrifying rate as it was pure black in color. Noah's consciousness wrapped around it as he uniquely found it to be clashing against the essence of Ruination within his body. 'Hmm?' Clashing! Armageddon was actually opposed to Ruination as the root of these Daos may seem similar, and Noah had based what he understood about Ruination to ultimately forge Armageddon for the purposes of the Edict he wanted to forge next! To see their distinction, he could only let the flow of information of this Edict be collated by the Cosmic Filament Core as his eyes very quickly saw the golden text box that showed the details of this wondrous new Dao. COSMIC [Dao of Armageddon] :: A Supreme 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. Armageddon is a uniquely evolving Dao that will be elevated the more that it completes and experiences what it stands for- Armageddon. The nature of its essence is unique as it holds the potential of destructive and devouring qualities that can even exceed Ruination. Any action that causes Armageddon to the scale of a World, Galaxy, Universe, or Cosmos will allow different percentage boosts to be granted on top of the refinement of the Essence of Armageddon to a greater stage. The Essence of Armageddon is capable of commanding all Universal Laws Essence and the Essence of Surrounding Lesser and Grand Daos to contribute in the Armageddon, with the user being capable of selecting different types of Armageddons to descend down as the essence of this Edict will forcefully command other essences to achieve it. Full Assimilation of this Cosmic Dao allows one to be capable of increasing the rate of their Realm Progression by being a Harbinger of Armageddon… Armageddon! As Noah read through its functions as he designed them, he had already finished fully comprehending it as its assimilation was following in the next few seconds, this essence becoming even wilder within his Origin as it cried out madly while trying to compete with Ruination! Noah had designed it in such a way that it wouldn't just be able to command other daos and laws to be able to achieve its aims- but it was an evolving Dao that could reach an unknown stage depending on just how many Armageddons he was able to experience. THRUM! As his thoughts moved, he silently bound the Dao to his Samsara Universal Dao Origin as it would never be lost when deconstructed and reconstructed, and he then assimilated the newly forged Dao as its Authority appeared before him in golden letters. Noah read through it while nodding as the values were as expected- similar to Ruination and the Primordial Daos as thereafter, his voice echoed out commandingly! "Let the Light of Conquest Shine on Armageddon." …! As he finished stimulating the True Blood within Adelaide and removed his hand from her chest, his body became bathed in the white light of Conquest that went to surge into Armageddon, causing the authority of the Dao to be Empowered as it'd newly revised authority appeared before his eyes! {Authority of the Assimilator of the Cosmic Dao of Armageddon} <EMPOWERED> :: An authority that only appears around those who have fully comprehended and ȧssimilated the Cosmic Dao of Armageddon. It has been empowered by the Cosmic Essence of Conquest as its Rank is further elevated. It grants +200,000% Increased Armageddon Damage,+200,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +200,000% Cast and Attack Speed. During times of Armageddon, the user is capable of displaying 6 times his normal strength. The essence of Armageddon rejects Ruination as it will not allow this essence to reconstruct it, and the authority of Armageddon allows this Dao to deconstruct itself and only be reconstructed by Primordial Essence. Successful deconstruction and reconstruction into Runic Dao Lines will bring forth the possibility of the Eye of Armageddon… The authority of the Supreme Cosmic Dao of Armageddon was unique as Noah very clearly saw its conflict with Ruination that he based it from, but the Dao was domineering enough as it could reconstruct itself! Something even more fantastical was that similar you the other two Supreme Cosmic Daos, Armageddon's Runic Dao Lines also provided an Eye of Power- this time allowing for Noah to be able to get his hands on the Eye of Armageddon! Chapter 1379: Seeking Apocalypse! II An Eye of Power! There were many unique methods for one to get their hands on such unique concepts, but Noah had stumbled on the deconstruction and reconstruction of Supreme Cosmic Daos to be capable of doing this on top of obtaining a Primordial Eye through becoming a Higher Existence. This time around, it was the Dao of Armageddon as Noah gave the command for it to deconstruct itself right away, The Primordial Dao ready to reconstruct it soon after! OOOM! The Dao was already bound to his Samsara Dao Origin as it would never fade from him even after all this process, and he watched it be broken down as Ruination didn't do the deconstructing for the first time ever, Primordial Essence stepping in to put it back together as an obsidian Runic Dao Line gradually formed before his eyes. The moment of its completion, it shot out like a snake into Noah's eyes as a unique phenomenon occurred, the Eye of Ruination sinking back into Noah's Eye socket in an unnatural manner as the Runic Dao Line of Armageddon began to swirl gloriously within Noah's socket, yet another Eye beginning to form at this time! Uniquely, Noah's forehead didn't split apart or anything similar to Hyperion, with him simply gaining another eye that he felt he could switch and interchange whenever he wished to do so. WAA! An aura of might and resplendence was released as the eye finished forming, the crimson Eye of Ruination being temporarily replaced as a new obsidian colored eye appeared. Its iris was eerily blank whith three prominent black circular dots constantly rotating within it, essence threatening to burst from it as its details appeared before Noah's eyes! <Runic Dao Line of Armageddon> {Eye of Armageddon} :: A flash of the eye, and Armageddon descends. The Light of Armageddon can be released as it deals True Annihilatory Physical and Soul Damage on a grand scale, where based on the mana placed in- it could affect something as small as a world or as large as a Cosmos. The user is granted Atomic Vision as they can theoretically be capable of disintegrating objects and existences from a molecular level, increasing their True Annihilatory Physical and Soul Damage by 50,000,000%. The User is also granted a special Armageddon Chrono Vision that allows them to peer across spacetime to sense any incoming Armageddons on a grand scale. Lastly, It grants +20,000,000% Increased Armageddon Damage,+20,000,000% Health and Mana Regeneration, and +20,000,000% Cast and Attack speed- with these values open to change depending on how many Armageddons are experienced and how grand they are… All Parameters the portions of the newly designed Dao of Armageddon lay before him as Noah had seen its Empowered Authority and its Runic Dao Line that granted him another Eye of Power! The Eye of Armageddon brought unique aspects and abilities for Noah to explore, but what he really wanted to do at this moment was take the features of Armageddon he had brought out and fuse them onto other Daos and concepts to bring forth another Edict! This task was returned to one of the True Sanguine Clones as Noah's main body focused on what was before him, looking at the figure of Adelaide that had become even more vibrant and beautiful as her body surged with 40% True Blood. Kismet and Kairos swirled around Noah to try and pierce through the layers of destiny as he wondered, would his progeny be the same tier of existence as him the moment they were born? Would they be akin to Primordials that have their Origins formed from the Essence of Reality as his children would be guaranteed the Cosmic Realm in less than 3 years?! It was a terrific prospect as Noah delved in to fully explore it, the answer not being something he would have to wait on for long as with the time ratio of the Cosmic Holy Land, anything was possible. A single day outside was equivalent to 5,000 days- or 13 years within the Cosmic Holy Land! So whether the conception of Noah's progeny would take as much time as it took for other races or even longer, much of this would be buffered by the time ratio as it could take a single Cosmic Day for him to gain a progeny…or a ridiculous amount of days that translated to years in the Cosmic Holy Land depending on just how fantastical everything would be. His main body fully started this task as a shy Adelaide was taken into Noah's arms, while his clones continued their other tasks as in another region, Noah was holding a scintillating cerulean river of blood that came from the Blue Slime! It was a replication of its Origin as it sank into Noah's body and delved into his soul, transferring from this clone and into the far away Origin of the main body silently as Noah gained another Bloodline in a smooth and utterly easy fashion! The body of the Blue Slime that should have been weakened momentarily was actually surging with power, golden blood surrounding it to finish its transformation into the first Bloodborne Herald as thereafter, its true blood would also be induced to form by Noah. But the True Sanguine Clone monitored the introduction of the Bloodline of the Universal Emperor Slime as he saw it appear within the panel of Bloodlines, fantastically finding this Bloodline to ranked <Rare> alongside his completed GREATER Edicts Bloodlines and the Quasi-Insuperable Bloodline! It further showed the potential the race of Universal Emperor Slimes had- but this was mere potential alone as even such a rare race of beings was nearly all killed by the machinations of a single Hegemony of Chronos. It told Noah that even with the most profound Bloodline, one's power was still what mattered the most. But with such a Bloodline in his hands, Noah also saw the absolute skills of <Universal Devouring> among many others now being usable to him, a deep smile becoming etched on his face as he could now devour Primordial Beasts to obtain the Essence of Reality similar to the Blue Slime- and this would just be one of the positives coming from this! Now, he could also go and obtain the Bloodline of Cthulhu among other possibilities as he saw just what could be brought to fruition if he then utilized Sanguine Aggregation and fused all of these Bloodlines together. It was a glorious path to follow as while one clone continued on this path, another had Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart around him as the Cosmic Dao Essence of Armageddon was the first to be swirling around him, other Cosmic Daos soon following as on top of it all, the concept of the Cthulhu Skill Tree and the Seven Deadly Sins were being pulled out of Noah's Origin to be fused with everything else! It was the beginning process of forging a Nomological Edict Noah had planned for in advance, where he even had its name before he forged Armageddon as he uniquely wanted an Edict of something he had experienced before multiple times over. Apocalypse. With Armageddon as the main ingredient and concepts of skill trees, Daos, and Laws dancing into the picture- he wanted to forge the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse that would be his strongest offensive component yet! Chapter 1380: Seeking Apocalypse! III It's just fucking insane at this point. Haa…I apologize for my improper wording, I really do. Hello, it's the one and only Shadow Guard Night here. I have to take my thoughts out somehow or it feels like I will lose my last shred of common sense, and I just have to describe how insane things just became! What I'm referring to, of course, is Fealty. The purely ridiculous and unbelievable Dao of Fealty that grants us a percentage of the Master's power. Such a thing was already ridiculous enough as it is with most of us being given strength equivalent to Daolords, and it became even more ridiculous when the Master continued to rise through power as he left behind any comparable scales for me to even refer to! The issue in question occurred within the last hours when all of Master's clones disappeared, many of us reacting in surprise and shock before the Cosmic Filament Core calmed us. But after his disappearance…all of us began to feel out Origins receive an outpouring of power that entirely shot past the scale of a Daolord, and I could even remember the moment when I passed the equivalent of a Forefather one would meet in the Primordial Empire. Forefathers! Beings that had glimpsed Edicts as they were close to fusing these abstruse concepts that I'm currently too dumb to put together, and yet I surpassed them on the pure power I could release by doing absolutely nothing. It was surreal. Even now as I gaze up from the Novus Universe and watch the faraway sparring that Kazuhiko and the Sword Emperor were having, I could see their strikes carrying a unique and oppressive energy that was enough to shatter Galaxies that only stemmed from Master. We all felt the continual and gradual increase in our power from our connection of Fealty, those like me benefitting the most as you see- I played things very smart. Others put their focus in trying to comprehend as many daos and laws to fuse them into Edicts, but I placed most of my focus on Fealty as I entirely assimilated it like a select few within the Infinite Empire. The power that I could borrow from the Master…was entirely insane to comprehend that by the time he returned to us and we saw him surrounded by pulsing rays of golden light, I saw that I had achieved a power equivalent or even surpassing what I saw Stormdust display during the final battle we had in the Cosmic Battlefield! The power exceeded a Faction Head of the Primordial Empire that had lived for millions of years! It was entirely surreal as I truly wonder what was happening to the scales of power. I further confirmed my thoughts when I saw Sis Barbatos summon an Undead Legion that contended against the newly arriving Sis Springforge, this green haired Sister looking even more confused than anyone else within the Infinite Empire as she wasn't yet influenced by our broken common sense. I could still hear the raucous laughter of Sis Barbatos as she stood on top of an Abyssal Undead Qilin while her Legion overwhelmed Sis Springforge even while her body was illuminated with her Dao of Amelioration. Her strength and my strength that could now unbelievable rival the heads of factions wasn't unique as too many of us had such power. And what continues to ruin my common sense the most is that this is applicable to all those under Master, even if it's with varying degrees. It meant the elderly that had never been exposed to mana or rose through the ranks of power, but they had answered the call of Fealty from Master…it meant these beings now had strength surpassing a Daolord. It meant children now had the strength of Daolords! I'm happy with the restrictions Master put for all of us to not be able to use his power against each other or our surroundings in harmful ways, otherwise entire Galaxies would be exploding just from children playing around. This was the new Reality that was forming under the Master! A Reality of countless quintillions of beings within his Infinite Empire boasting strength that an insignificant percentage of something like the Primordial Empire had. It…was an entirely unbalanced and broken system of power that the Master had purposefully or inadvertently created, and as shocked as I was…I'm loving it! Haa…that's my venting for the day. I don't know what entry I'll put in my diary next, but it truly just might be when the Master already has the Champion of Reality under his heel… — Apocalypse! Noah was truly seeking Apocalypse as the clutter of many concepts surrounded him in a maddened fashion, the essence of Blueprints and Runes covering his eyes to break all of these concepts down while the essence of Commandment was ready to rewrite any errors. This would be the design of the strongest Offensive Edict under his belt as one might find themselves asking why he continued seeking such powerful and stellar paths of power! The answer was the System he wanted to forge requiring a specific number of completed Edicts he had to meet, and also the realization of how much of an advantage the Primordials had and how far ahead they would be. The True enemy he was overcoming was not Aegon…with the target that he and Hyperion set being the Primordial Cecilia! For such a being that was a Higher Existence since birth and had lived for dozens of millions of years, the terrifying power she held had to be countered against something that was currently Noah's strong suit- and that was forging the ranks of Edicts that even she has not been able to so far. Only after Cecilia was overcome could Noah freely expand his influence across the Cosmos of this Reality as he prepared his Infinite Empire to gain the qualifications to become a Seed of Reality! The Champion of Reality that she had forged…they would only be an appetizer for Noah as their souls would pave the way for him to understand Systems better and to forge his own with the help of an Ender of Reality soon after! Chapter 1381: Seeking Apocalypse! IV Daos, Edicts, Bloodlines, Ascendancy Halos, and Systems! These were Noah's current goals as to achieve them, he would do whatever it took! WAA! The weaving of essence around the True Sanguine Clone was chaotic and tumultuous as Noah tried to put together the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse, with him finding the root of this problem coming as Armageddon and Ruination clashed with each other amidst the cluster of essence. The two were showing more opposition than even any reaction either had with the Primordial essence, and Noah's sharp eyes could already see the decision he had to make if he wanted to complete the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse successfully! He was trying to brute force his way into doing it, where he even activated Commandment to try and rewrite the narrative and focus on the Primordial essence with its interlinking quality to try and connect Ruination and Armageddon but…the two diametrically opposed and fought against each other as Noah made the decision he knew he would have to make ever since he read it on <Reader's Foresight>. BZZZT! The Essence of Ruination reduced and ultimately faded from his cluster of daos and things became calm, with his essence of Fusion and Primordial beginning to seamlessly connect everything around him thereafter. Just like his first Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict, what he worked on now would just have 2 Supreme Cosmic Daos in it! His goal was to ultimately be capable of the inclusion of three or four Supreme Cosmic Daos into a single Edict as he saw if that was finally enough to achieve the rank of Insuperable, but this seemed a distance away from him at this moment! OOOM! His surroundings continued to weave into different colors as the fusion of many concepts continued underway, the second time being smoother and faster than the first as Noah was getting more and more proficient in utilizing the interlinking quality of the Primordial Dao Essence and Commandment to rewrite any small issues constantly. Gradually…Apocalypse was coming to fruition! Time passed as Noah's True Sanguine Clone did this, and a distance away from the clone, his main body had just achieved another accomplishment as a few months passed due to the time ratio since he began trying for something fantastical with Adelaide. He was delving into a field that was very new to him as even with all of his strength, it gave him a sense of apprehension for what was to come as even Adelaide was able to notice this! "The guy looking down on Champions and Primordials is actually nervous about this?" Adelaide's sonorous voice echoed as she lay within Noah's arms, the two of them staring into the aurora of golden light above them within the Cosmic Holy Land as Adelaide held onto her stomach protectively. A few months!! This was the length of time Noah and Adelaide tried until a few weeks ago, his destiny told him of a positive result as a fantastical reaction began to weave within Adelaide's body! He turned towards this woman that had 40% True Blood coursing through her as she should have more than enough abundant life force and essence to bring anything to fruition, but he was still worried as he rose up and waved his hands to cause the appearance of Primordial Hearts. "I'll cook more of these for you…we also have to make sure you're getting enough of the Spiritual Herbs and Fruits…" WAA! His eyes released brilliance as Adelaide rolled her eyes, but she went with his words nonetheless as Noah's progeny would be exposed to the most ridiculous universal treasures and materials that all others would envy! Primordial Hearts, the Herbs and Fruits within the Infinite Empire that were filled with the essence of Cosmic Daos…these would be the nutrient of his progeny as the only thing Noah was worried about…was the amount of time it would take for them to come out. With Kismet and Kairos, he could already tell it would take a long time, where if Adelaide wasn't in the Cosmic Holy Land with its time ratio of 5,000:1, he would be waiting for an entirely long period of time before anything occurred! And as always, he wasn't wrong as while a Cosmic day passed outside of the Holy Land- 5,000 days, or 13 years passed within the Holy Land as Adelaide only had a slight bump! The period was utterly mind-boggling as it made one expectant on exactly what mind come out at the end of it all! — The river of time continued to edge forward as three Cosmic Days passed, Noah's True Sanguine Clone finally bringing together the last set of concepts of skill trees, laws, and Daos as a blinding obsidian pillar of light finished forming before his eyes. THRUM! It buzzed with righteous and vile strength at the same time as it wanted to form a pillar of light to announce its presence, but the will of the Sanguine Emperor descended down to oppressive this light as the forming Apocalypse was wondrously showing the same qualities of another Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict! "FUSE!" Noah domineeringly bellowed as any remaining unfused essences of concepts clasped tightly around each other, space itself shaking and trembling as this obsidian river of concepts shot into Noah and traversed across the connections of his Soul to reach his main body. His body…that then vibrated with an awe-inspiring sense of power as yet another fantastical concept appeared before his eyes! Truly, it was another Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict. The Nomological Edict of Apocalypse! QUASI-INSUPERABLE {EVOLVABLE} <Nomological Edict of the Apocalypse> :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos, and it cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of Apocalypse is further elevated as it stands at the rank of QUASI-INSUPERABLE, touching on the boundary of ancient and undeniable authority privy to select beings. The Edict is birthed from the combination of the Daos of Primordial, Armageddon, Conquest, Fusion, Destiny, Bloodlines, Runes, Chronos, Destruction, Summoning, Fealty, and Devouring, along with the laws of Chaos, Death, Aether, and Fire. The concepts of the Cthulhu Skill Tree and the Seven Deadly Sins are also included to complete this QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict. Due to the influence of the aspect of Armageddon, this Nomological Edict has uniquely gained the possibility of Evolution through the experiences of Apocalypses. Whether from the Apocalypse of genuine Universes and Cosmos or the Apocalypse of the Origins of beings at such ranks, there lies a possibility in elevating the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse from the rank of QUASI-INSUPERABLE and onto another stage. The user is granted the title of The Seeker of Apocalypse as the authority to bind an entire area into a <Domain of Apocalypse> is granted. Within the Domain of Apocalypse, the user gains +10,000,000,000% to All Parameters as they gain the capability to utilize the abilities of <Herald of Ragnarok>, <Outer Eldritch Corruption>, <Wrath of the Cardinal Sins>, and <Telos>. If a Higher Existence falls within the Domain of Apocalypse, the Seeker of Apocalypse has the right to obtain their Ascendancy Halo(s) that can be utilized to elevate the strength and tier of their own Halo(s). 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 +10,000,000%, an increase of +20,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 10% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse: 1% Ah! An evolving Edict rose in a stellar fashion before Noah's eyes! Chapter 1382: An Evolvable Edict! I An evolvable Edict! This was something utterly unique as Noah hoped that from the many clusters of concepts infused into the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse, the concept from Armageddon that allowed for evolution the more that one experienced such a thing would occur. And it truly came to be at this moment as Noah could possibly elevate the rank of Apocalypse in the future- he just had to experience the Apocalypse of many existences in the high ranks of Universal and Cosmic and even higher Ranking beings, or just the Apocalypse of these stellar bodies themselves! To bring all of this together was the Domain of Apocalypse. The Domain that he could call down to cover something as small as a world or even larger than a Cosmos as all things designated as enemies within it would be facing an Apocalypse. Within this Domain, the abilities of <Herald of Ragnarok>, <Outer Eldritch Corruption>, <Wrath of the Cardinal Sins>, and <Telos> were what came into play to really cause this Nomological Edict to shine! Apart from the 10 billion percent boost from the description of Apocalypse, one might think the Edict to be relatively normal or weak aside from the aspect that it was evolvable- but the True power of this Edict lay within the four skills it contained! And all of this...was before Noah entirely completed it and unlocked the Bloodline of Apocalypse. "Let's see...what do the skills hold?" Noah's gaze was that of an ancient being overseeing his work as he waved his hands to cause the appearance of the abilities that came with the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of Apocalypse. <Herald of Ragnarok> :: At the center of the Domain of Apocalypse, the Tower of Ragnarok rises as it beckons with it the end. The core Essence of Apocalypse is clustered around the Tower of Ragnarok as the Seeker of Apocalypse can sit at the highest peak to watch the unfolding end before him. So long as Mana is provided, the Tower of Ragnarok will release condensed Universes filled with the unstable Essence of the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of Apocalypse. Along with this, space will become ruptured every passing second in the surrounding region of the Tower of Ragnarok- creating for an environment of utter destruction as from within the ruptured space, the unique essence Pandemonium that comes from destroyed Realities will bloom within the Domain of Apocalypse. Within the Tower of Ragnarok, the Vassals of the Seeker of Apocalypse can answer the call to be Heralds of Apocalypse as they are reinforced by the Essence of Apocalypse, their lives tied to the Seeker of Apocalypse as if he does not perish, they will continue to lay waste to the enemies within the Domain of Apocalypse even in death. Lastly, when Higher Existences that have forged an Ascendancy Halo(s) fall within the Domain of Apocalypse, the Tower of Ragnarok rips out their Halos from them and refines them into something that the Seeker of Apocalypse can utilize to enhance the power and rank of his own Ascendancy Halo(s)... <Outer Eldritch Corruption> :: The Entire Domain of Apocalypse becomes entrenched and overlapped with an entirely different Dimension as it is tinged with the Corruption of the Outer Eldritchs of Old. The Seeker of Apocalypse has gained the authority to call forth the youngest Outer Eldritchs from the Forgotten Realities, with their rank being equivalent to his own as they pervasively seek the Apocalypse of all things within the Domain. The aura of the Eldritch Corruption alone makes all enemies take +5,000,000,000% Increased True Annihilatory Physical and Soul Damage, and the debuffs from the {Age of Madness and Insanity Series} are constantly applied to all enemies. ...! An ability that heavily sparked Noah's interest rose up as he had to take a closer look at it! From the influence of the Cthulhu skill tree, there came the ability of <Outer Eldritch Corruption> that actually did something so horrendous as to make the Domain of Apocalypse Noah could call out to be a region of an entirely different Dimension. And not just a different Dimension, but one from something Noah had never heard of before- the Forgotten Realities! Noah had gained the capability to command the weakest beings from these Forgotten Realities through this ability- a concept that made him heavily curious about these Forgotten Realities and what horrific existences lay within them. "In the near future..." His eyes shone with the light of curiosity as he pushed it down for now, going on to linger on the ability of <Herald of Ragnarok> as well. A unique ability that would be the core of Noah strengthening himself in the future with its unique ability to refine the Ascendancy Halos of Higher Existences, but it was also something that allowed for the revolting Essence of Pandemonium that one could find at the edges of destroyed Realities! Just these two abilities mixed together already created for a terrifying Apocalypse as they changed a region into an entirely different Dimension of Death while a resounding Tower of Ragnarok that constantly released attacks and even deployed Noah's Vassals rose! The fantastical nature of these abilities made Noah look forward to when he utilized this domain of Apocalypse, his gaze going towards the Wrath of the Cardinal Sins next. <Wrath of the Cardinal Sins> :: The Entire Boundary of the Domain of Apocalypse is filled with the unique Wall of Cardinal Terrors that constantly forms and releases an Infinite number of variations of the Seven Deadly Sins so long as Mana is provided. The Wall of Cardinal Terrors acts as a barrier that does not allow any enemies to escape, its power leeching off of the Essence present from the Forgotten Realities called forth by the <Outer Eldritch Corruption> ability as when enough time passes, the convergence of these two unique essences will come together to produce Cardinal Eldritch Sins. The more time that passes after the set up of the Domain of Apocalypse, the more terrifying the effects of all abilities become as Apocalypse is all but guaranteed after the passing of a certain time… A mixture of both the Seven Deadly Sins and the concept of Cthulhu appeared as wondrously, it showed that Noah's enemies would be all but doomed the more time they spent within his Domain of Apocalypse! Chapter 1383: An Evolvable Edict! II The previous three abilities Under the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse were fantastical enough, but there was still one more that was under the unique name of Telos! Telos had the definition of "end" or "purpose", with this term leaning more towards the definition of the end as Noah glanced at its details. <Telos> :: Within the Domain of Apocalypse, the Seeker of Apocalypse can temporarily imitate the Identity and Form of Telos- an Outer Eldritch Terror that is rumored to have caused the collapse of more Realities than any single Primordial Beast. A Higher Existence steeped in the horrors of Apocalypse, Telos can freely utilize the Essence of Pandemonium born from destroyed Realities as he is a True Enemy against any Higher Existences. In this form, all Parameters are elevated by 20,000,000,000% as Mana Usage for all abilities and skills is cut down by 90%. "Beautiful…" The first 20 billion percentage increase within a single skill lay before Noah as he sighed with appreciation, the Telos ability and the other 3 within the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse forging a heavily offensive Nomological Edict that if anyone got stuck in- it was highly unlikely for them to leave it alive! With the established Domain of Apocalypse, they had to face Outer Eldritch Terrors, Infinite Cardinal Sins, a Tower of Ragnarok, and now a form of an Existence that was more proficient in destroying Realities than Primordial Beasts! It was bound to be a true Apocalypse as before Noah could enjoy reading over the description of the skills for too long… BZZT! His Origin released waves of communication that stemmed from a relationship in the bindings of the Flames of Commandment that Noah shared with only one other existence. "Hmm?" Noah's will delved into the bindings as he felt a tug from the existence he still needed the help of to forge his future System, one of his True Sanguine Clones rising to take up the call to see what the Ender of Reality wanted! He had accomplished many things in the span of a few days as he was now waiting for his first progeny within the Cosmic Holy Land where years were passing, and he was slowly collecting Bloodlines as he just finished the forging of another Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict. Now, one of his True Sanguine Clones became wrapped in a spatial light as his target was a region he was invited into by none other than Hyperion! – In the Primordial Sea, the figure of the Draconic-Elephantine Primordial Beast floated alone as Noah appeared not too far away from him. From the True Sanguine Clone that came, the blatant aura of a Higher Existence that Noah had having been withdrawn as if one looked at him, he didn't show any illusory Universal Filament or Cosmos on his body nor release any waves of energy at all- where he seemed like a harmless normal human being that had not even become connected to mana! This was a perk that all Higher Existence enjoyed- the greater level of control of energy as if they wished it, nothing would leak from their bodies. Hyperion gazed towards Noah's appearing figure as his third eye shone with light, his ancient voice coming out soon after. "You have changed." WAA! "I have." Noah replied lightly as when he moved, the Primordial Essence dared not to approach him without his permission as he floated closer to the titanous body of the Ender of Reality, his words continuing. "Why did you call me here?" Hyperion stared at him closely for a few seconds without replying, his tusks releasing a golden sheen an instant layer as a gigantic bell appeared beside him- his Draconic-Elephantine head turning reminiscent as he gazed at this bell while speaking! "Your appearance has changed the weaving of Destiny I had perceived greatly, and I am not sure whether to give you credit for it or simply treat it as a coincidental result of your anomalous actions…" WAA! "Originally, I was going to play with the Champion of Reality as I slowly made him lose everything around him, with the last straw being the unfaithful woman he keeps beside him- where I would have broken this last pillar of support of his not by my hands- but by the hands of his very own Primordial…" Yes! The weaving of Destiny had been drastically changed from the future that Hyperion or even someone like Halcyon had seen, where a future where the Enemy of Reality would have risen from the Champion of Reality itself was gradually being abolished! Hyperion would have been the true cause of this as he dismantled everything around Aegon until he turned mad, but now…everything had changed.

"This weaving of Destiny is gradually changing as I now do not fully know which path it will take, but I know that what I seek will be completed after the Champion of Reality and the Primordial above him lie before my feet as their memories become mine…as the mysteries of Systems are laid bare!" WAA! The ancient voice of the Ender of Reality echoed across the Primordial Sea as he held on to the Eonic Bell of the Unguarded- the Quasi-Primordial Relic that was given by another Ender of Reality! "For that, I have obtained this Quasi-Primordial Relic from an existence outside of this Reality. An existence that had planned to use me as a scapegoat for the death of a Primordial." …! Noah's calm eyes turned sharp as he heard this, his eyes looking at the Quasi-Primordial Relic and Hyperion in turn as the ancient voice of this being continued to echo out and give Noah a burst of information. The knowledge of Marked Ones who were beings that had committed the unfortunate act of killing a Primordial! The Ender of Reality that was more than likely a Higher Existence who planned to take all the rewards from Cecilia but none of the blame! A scheme that involved an Ender of Reality, a Champion, and its Primordial. Noah heard all of this as he viewed Hyperion in an entirely different light, this existence concluding his speech with a set of shocking words. "This is why I will now be beginning to set up the events leading to the Last War within this Reality. A War that will draw in the Primordial herself as before this…I need to know more about the being that is contractually bound to me. I need to know the timeline for the completion of your 4 completed Edicts…I need to know if you were the one who just caused the recent commotion." WAA! With a piercing gaze, Hyperion focused on Noah who had a carefree smile as if everything was weaving the way it was supposed to! Chapter 1384: Why kill just a single Higher Existence?! I The Ender of Reality wanted to know more about the anomaly that was Noah Osmont- about the being that he was contractually bound to by the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict! He asked of the recent commotion that had occurred across the Ruination and Primordial Sea- of the feeling of the descent of a concept that even Hyperion felt an oppression from. Noah had a carefree smile as with his body that seemed like any normal human being…instantly changed as the surrounding Primordial Essence howled out fearfully and spread away from him! It was because his body had begun to release a crimson aura that even caused something like Primordial Essence to run away fearfully- and it was an essence that caused Hyperion's gaze to turn grim as he remembered this feeling very closely. "I told you a few days back that I would handle the task of completing 4 new Edicts in a short period of time." Noah's voice came out in waves of calmness and power as his hands stretched out and played with the Essence of the Sanguine Emperor. The essence of a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict! "This is something I managed to stumble on as I was fulfilling that promise- an Edict that is half a stage above GREATER!" WAA! As he spoke, the essence of the Sanguine Emperor gradually began to burn as it turned into crimson liquid Flames- the appearances of these Flames causing Hyperion's eyes to squint as his ancient voice echoed out. "And you have already completed this new Edict that you just forged…" "Yes." Noah snapped his fingers as the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor were extinguished, his body returning to a normal human being as he continued with a smile. "That is why when I say I will complete the requirements of Edicts in a short period of time- know that I only speak the truth!" …! "Whatever preparations have to be done to set up the War for this Reality…to call down the Primordial herself- such preparations can begin anytime you wish as I will only need a few more days." His words were without an ounce of lies as the ones that resonated in Hyperion's mind were that he only spoke the truth! The Ender of Reality was silent as he measured this being that always proved he was underestimated at every turn, the voice of this beast coming out with a sense of doubt and wonder for the first time. "I've never met an existence like you…" …! Genuine words from an Ender of Reality! Words that spoke of the uniqueness of Noah Osmont as even a Cosmic Primordial Beast was stumped when it came to understanding this being! Noah shook his head with a longing expression when he heard such words, raising his head up as he looked past the Primordial Sea and into vastness that he only dreamt of. "That's because we're locked in a single Reality out of an Infinite amount of Realities. You know, I just found out about Forgotten Realities where Outer Eldritch Terrors reside, of existences that destroy Realities more than even Primordial Beasts…and even the Primal Titans you mentioned that match Primordials in terms of Forging!" "There's countless things we do not yet know of and even more countless Realities with existences that could entirely exceed anything I can do. What we're trying to do now…is simply gain the power to expand our horizons and be able to step onto this Infinite path of possibilities!" RUMBLE! His words alone caused the surrounding destiny to churn as Noah's own golden seas of fortune raged, Hyperion feeling his own destiny rise in waves as he inadvertently thought of his freedom from being bound to this Reality forever. What they were doing now was just taking the steps to break out of the shackles that bound him! Such words resonated in Hyperion's mind as he gazed towards Noah and wondered but a single thing. 'Can this existence actually be trusted and relied on?' WAA! Even though their very shaky level of trust came from the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict that bound them, Hyperion had seen too many examples of how he just couldn't depend on others! The most recent example was someone of his own race and blood that had achieved his freedom- another Ender of Reality that actually schemed against Hyperion for their own gain. This was the singular truth Hyperion had learned over and over again- others would always let you down, and everything had to be done by one's own hands! But this existence before him… Hyperion came to an impasse as he could do nothing but gaze at his golden seas of destiny. Of course, ever since this being came to the Primordial Sea with his first proposition … OOOM! His destiny had been rising and undulating ever higher as it seemed to favor the cooperation with this existence! Even if he couldn't trust others, could he not trust his own destiny? "..." He saw the yearning to explore the Infinite Realities on the face of this being as after significant contemplation and thinking of the Flames that bound the both of them, the Ender of Reality decided to proceed carefully with this being, but never releasing his expectations of disappointment! This Ender of Reality….was also a practical existence, so he spoke out calmly as he thought of the future. "Even if we manage to take out the Primordial, there is still another Higher Existence apart from her, if not two- that would be waiting outside the Boundary of this Reality." He thought of the Tyrant Beast Pyxis and the existences he was conversing with that had mentioned they also wanted to partake in the Origin of a Primordial! "Multiple Higher Existences?" Words of pondering rose from the figure of Noah that wasn't releasing any specule of essence, his eyes turning sharp a moment later as he spoke domineeringly. "So what if there are more Higher Existences? If there's more of them, we simply kill more of them! Why must we just kill a single Higher Existence?!" RUMBLE! Chapter 1385: Why kill just a single Higher Existence?! II "So what if there are more Higher Existences? If there's more of them, we simply kill more of them! Why must we just kill a single Higher Existence?!" RUMBLE! As he spoke, Noah's body released waves of golden light as his True Blood surged crazily within his body, his eyes releasing a light of calm golden bloodlust that wanted to consume everything! Gloriously gold blood as it tinged the white sea that was fearfully spreading away from Noah gold! The Ender of Reality saw the robust golden surge as his elephantine trunk and tusks released a profound glow of resplendence. "You…!" Shock finally appeared in the eyes of the Ender of Reality as it sensed the aura from Noah that it had only ever presumed to feel on a single being! "I also told you I would solve the problem of True Blood- once more…I only speak of truth." …! Silence. Utter and complete silence! Hyperion and the Primordial Sea alone witnessed the figure of Noah as the aura of a Higher Existence leaked from him madly, his eyes shinning multiple colors as the irises constantly changed! His left eye had its iris shining with golden wings within them, while his right eye kept interchanging from a crimson circular lined iris to a blank white one with three black rotating circles. The might and power he released seemed to be nearing Hyperion's even with all the Edicts that the Ender of Reality had stacked up! "When I complete the 3 remaining Edicts and partake in a feast of Primordial Beasts to reach the Cosmic Realm, I can complete the condition of helping you achieve the stage of a Higher Existence as at that time…the War for this Reality can ensue." Words of utter confidence and valor echoed out as the vibrant aura of someone that had completely changed their Blood into True Blood spread out wildly. "Madness…" The archaic voice of the Ender of Reality echoed out as one could uniquely notice his Draconic-Elephantine expression to be forming a devilish smile whether this cold faced Cosmic Beast knew it or not! "...but I like such madness! Very well, the stage shall be set." RUMBLE! Two beings came to an agreement as the fate of a Reality was also decided by such an agreement! Noah's aura receeded rapidly as he returned to being nothing but a normal human being, and he watched the glorious scene of the elephantine trunk of Hyperion rise up as it blew out in an apocalyptic manner. OOOOOOOOH! A blazing sound akin to a blaring horn reverberated out as it was a command to the countless Primordial Beasts within the Primordial Sea- for these existences to mobilize as they prepared for the Last War! The Primordial Sea churned as powerful existences began to move. Meanwhile, the single solitary figure of a crimson haired Stormdust could be seen watching all of this unfold, his eyes blank as the will of this being was nearly ground down and shredded. The echoes of the single horn blown from the golden trunks of the Ender of Reality reverberated extremely far, stretching across the Ruination Sea as the waves of changing destiny they caused reached a powerhouse within a cluster of Cosmos far away. OOOM! With his black hair waving calmly atop his head, Aegon opened his eyes as a multitude of Flames of Edicts rotated around him. His Invincible System made it so that anyone defined and set as his enemy by both sides was the target that would be overcome on all possible fields. The Ender of Reality was on the same field as him as Aegon didn't get any boosts on this aspect, but his generation of True Blood and completion of Edicts shot up exponentially with the help of his System that since the events of the Cosmic Battlefield- he had completed a Minor and a GREATER Nomological Edict! He had to be Invincible across all enemies he came across- His System deemed it so! If they were above him, he would reach their stage shortly. If they had more completed Edicts than him, he would achieve the same ones shortly! Until in time…he remained Invincible. He had to consider them his enemies, and they had to consider Aegon as an enemy. A simple condition that he fulfilled with the strongest existence that was an Ender of Reality. Aegon saw nobody else as a worthy enemy as this…would be the most colossal loss of his entire life. If his pride wasn't too high to consider the unique existence known as Noah Osmont as his enemy. If his Invincible System had fulfilled the conditions and made this being as the target! His System would have been trying to exceed him in all the areas that Aegon was deficient in- in terms of Mana, in terms of the quality of Edicts, in terms of True Blood! It might have been a coincidence that would have caused for the rise of another shocking anomaly rare across dozens of Realities. But Aegon did not even gaze at a being with a Lower Realm than him as his enemy. And Noah…did not consider the Champion of Reality as his enemy either as this Reality would never come to pass! The weaving of destiny was like so- filled with countless possibilities right in front of one's eyes, but always so far away. Seeing the dancing Flames of Edicts before him, Aegon rose up as his eyes were filled with immense confidence and power. "Let it all come to an end." WAA! "Let me put this entire Reality under me as mere Beasts…will never be able to scheme before me again." …! With righteous fervor and power his Dao Lines swirled on his skin as he rose to prepare for his glorious ascension! For the Champion of Reality to fulfill his destiny as he oversaw all the Cosmos within this Reality- the Cosmic Primordial Beast threatening it lying dead before his beast as any other Beasts that rose thereafter would face the same fate! Chapter 1386: The Flames of Apocalypse! I The Epic of the Champion of Reality was yet to be finished! He moved with his own Destiny as he sought to complete his story, while others moved with their own destinies to seek their paths. As for who would come out to be the victor at the end of it all? Only the chaotic weaving of destiny would tell! — Noah saw the brilliant will of the Ender of Reality showing within its eyes as he smiled lightly, counting the many things he had to do as this existence began the preparations for the War that would draw in the Primordial Cecilia. 'The War for Reality…' Such words resonated in his mind vibrantly as he thought about their target amidst all of this- as he thought about the Higher Existence overseeing a Champion and the Higher Existences lying in wait scheming against Hyperion and in relation- himself as well! 'They do not wish to become Marked Ones from killing a Primordial…what would happen if such a title fell upon me?' A Marked One! An existence hunted down for daring to raise their hands against Primordials- a title that even Enders of Reality that had achieved the stage of Higher Existences feared. It made Noah curious about the structure of the 'world' that these existences moved in, and what sorts of unique structures there lay across the infinite Realities for him to find out. As the blaring horn of Hyperion died down, Noah nodded towards this existence while his body began to glimmer with a spatial light, his eyes spending a bit more time focusing on the Eonic Bell of the Unguarded that lay beside this Ender of Reality. "I'll let you know when I achieve completion of the requirements. Until then…" WAP! With a flash of light, he disappeared. Hyperion's body crackled with arcs of profound light as he stared at where Noah had disappeared, noticing his gaze towards the Quasi-Primordial Relic he had obtained as the gaze didn't contain any envy or greed- and it was just a gaze of interest that one would have if they found something new and interesting that they hadn't seen before! 'What can make an existence only look at a Quasi-Primordial Relic with a mere gaze of interest?' A stupendous question echoed silently in the mind of Hyperion as he would not receive an answer at this moment in time! — With a timeline set in place, Noah had a clear picture of the things he had to do and in what order before a shocking undertaking occurred within this Reality. The first step involved finishing the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse as for this…he would have to pull out <Author's Jurisdiction> for the smoothest and most efficient use of the Essence of Reality that he currently had! After achieving the stage of a Higher Existence, he could now control this unique essence as he could do something like burn it into the concept of Apocalypse within his Origin to raise up this Nomological Edict, or he could simply edit Reality with <Author's Jurisdiction> as this essence would be utilized in a much more efficient way. Of course, the was because he only had a measly 12 Cosmic Resource Points left and basically very few Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart to make any changes through the usage of Loot! So he simply called out… "Author's Jurisdiction." WAA! The magisterial Jurisdiction of an Author descended unto Noah as his focus was himself, pulling up his status sheet as he delved into the Nomological Edicts and clicked on them- a golden pen appearing in his hands as from the measly 1% on the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse, he edited it to be 100%! A simple and direct change in Reality as its consequence was a third of all the reserves of Essence of Reality that Noah had retained since his ascension to the level of a Higher Existence. OOOM! His body became intertwined by a myriad of colors as the most unique essence he had surged within him, bathing his core and directly altering the Reality of his completion of a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict as Noah's main body was the first to feel the changes within his Origin! Exceedingly black and baleful obsidian flames sprouted out as they nearly dyed his Universal Form entirely black, these Flames roaring out with madness and fervor for destruction as they actually began to cause a reaction within Noah's blood that he was very familiar with. The reaction…was that of a new type of blood blooming within him- of a Bloodline! But the unique thing was that Noah didn't just feel a single new Bloodline- and he instead felt multiple. It actually seemed like the completion of the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse had begun generating two new Bloodlines within Noah the moment of its completion, the Flames beginning to burn brightly as Noah was bombarded with unique Authority and information for the newly rising Flames of Apocalypse! <Flames of Apocalypse> :: The Flames of Apocalypse bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of Apocalypse, as well as the initial Ignition of the Bloodline of the Apocalyptic Race born from Apocalypse itself- Telos! The title of the Apocalypse Bloodline Progenitor is granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 1 other Existence into your Bloodline. The tier of this Edict is extremely high as for the sake of purity, only a single follower is allowed. The follower of the Bloodline of Apocalypse will gain an increased chance of comprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the required laws and daos to be an eventuality. A natural suppression effect also exists with this Edict against any GREATER or MINOR Nomological Edicts due its higher rank, with the essence of lower Edicts losing 60% of their effectiveness when facing the Seeker of Apocalypse. As the architect of this Bloodline Edict, you are granted the abilities of <<Reality Devourer>> and <<Apocalyptic Erasure>> that can be utilized with the Essence of Reality in conjunction with the Essence of Apocalypse. As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of Apocalypse, you are granted +5,000,000,000% to All Parameters, +5,000,000,000% to True Defense, and +5,000,000,000% to True Annihilatory Damage. All abilities that utilize the essence of Apocalypse also have their resource requirement cut down by half, and your Origin produces an extra 10 million Splendiferous Universes daily. The Flames of Apocalypse danced madly as they granted Noah droves of new information! Chapter 1387: The Flames of Apocalypse! II The Flames of Apocalypse didn't just grant him the Bloodline of Apocalypse, but it also granted the Bloodline of Telos- the existence that Noah could only take the form of through the skill <Telos> that came with the Edict of Apocalypse. Now, he had actually begun the Induction into the terrifying Bloodline of this creature that was more than likely located in the Forgotten Realities! "Telos…" Noah said this word with awe as he felt the blooming of the complete Bloodline of Apocalypse, as well as the Induction of a stellar new Bloodline with its blood so dark and viscous that it felt like it could devour everything. And in the case of the abilities under the Flames of Apocalypse, they could truly do so as Noah was at a loss when he gazed at the first one- it was <<Reality Devourer>>! <<Reality Devourer>> :: A true Seeker of Apocalypse and holder of the Bloodline of Telos enters adulthood when they undertake the task of devouring an entire Reality. As soon as this action is completed, they achieve the Cosmic Filament Rank as the devouring of future Realities sets them on the path of forging their own Origin into a True Reality. The Bloodline of Telos is taboo among the Higher Existences as they leave behind an immense path of destruction with countless lives lost, being existences that are hunted down with more fervor than even Marked Ones or Primordial Beasts due to the potential level of power they can reach. If the user chooses to embark on the destructive path of devouring Realities, they must be prepared for the gaze of countless Higher Existences that follows. The ability is locked until the full Bloodline of Telos is gained, with this process being increased the more that one imposes Apocalypse on others. After the achievement of a full Bloodline, It is recommended to only utilize this ability under the guidance of an Elder Telos that can mask your entrance into adulthood… A terrifying ability that even made someone like Noah turn grim! The cost of the ability was heavy as its boons were even heavier, but it required a mentality and level of brutality that one might be able to find in an existence literally born from Apocalypse- but not Noah. The cost of this ability was the utter and complete destruction of an entire Reality. A heavy, heavy burden for anyone to carry as genocide wasn't even enough to put weight on such an action! This wasn't to mention the fact that the Bloodline of Telos itself was actually Taboo due to their potential, and such a thing had begun to bloom within Noah currently ad he felt like he was forging a nuclear bomb that could explode any second. Any second that he somehow became capable of devouring an entire Reality and the ability became unlocked after he achieved this full Bloodline from the Flames of Apocalypse. "Maybe if I can actually come in contact with an Elder Telos if I ever visit the Forgotten Realities?" His voice echoed out with curiosity as wondered what would unfold in the future, his eyes landing on the other ability that came with the Flames of Apocalypse. <<Apocalyptic Erasure>> :: A unique power that is brought about by the Flames of Apocalypse and the Essence of Reality. Apocalyptic Erasure is capable of eradicating everything to its core- throughout space and time. It negates the effects and perks of any Minor or GREATER Nomological Flames of Edicts as if this ability is used against an enemy that does not have at least an opposing QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict, True Death is guaranteed. The effects of Apocalyptic Erasure can further be broken down to targets- where the Seeker of Apocalypse can target the life and origin of an Existence, or their memories, or their comprehension in laws, Daos, and Edicts. The cost for the Essence of Reality and Essence of Apocalypse is least for completely erasing the memories of a being or the concepts they comprehended, while the cost is greatly higher for utterly erasing an existence across spacetime… RUMBLE! Noah's heart turned utterly tumultuous when he read the details of Apocalyptic Erasure. Yes, it was exceedingly dominant and overpowered to the point that others could only stare in wonder- but this wasn't what caused his heart to turn tumultuous! It was the effects of this ability and what it truly meant in the eyes of someone like Noah! When he read over it, the first thing that appeared in his mind was how wrong he had been. How utterly and completely wrong he had been as he believed himself to be invincible- that he wasn't even worried when he thought about the unknown existences and powers waiting out there in the Infinite Realities! But just now, he was shown an ability that he was able to obtain from completing a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict…an ability that allowed one to utterly erase and grant a being True Death across space and time as the perks of any Edicts below it were erased. It meant that the ability from the Nomological Edict of Samsara that allowed Noah to secure his life to a Reality was turned useless if he ever faced an enemy with an Edict like this, or Edicts of even higher level that the truly powerful beings out there in the lands he hasn't even explored had! The perk of the Flames of Samsara that allowed him to escape True Annihilation of Origin and Soul once- it was also negated as it was something that stemmed from a GREATER Nomological Edict! "..." A being's strongest walls and protections that they believed would allow them to keep their lives no matter what…they could all be torn down with the cast of a single ability from a being that had comprehended a unique concept from an Edict that they could not even fathom. 'What other ranks of Edicts are out there that can negate everything one thinks is absolute protection?' Yes! The reality of the possible abilities that those capable of forging QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict or even INSUPERABLE Edicts dawned on Noah as it made him feel utterly defenseless. 'Unless I can find even more absolute ways to protect myself…!' RUMBLE! Such a thought rose and burned within his soul as he was smashed with a realization that nothing was permanent! Abilities that he believed to be an absolute defense for his life could be overcome by others! But what he had to do…was continue building defenses in a way that would ensure his survival even in the face of possible abilities like <Apocalyptic Erasure>! "<Apocalyptic Erasure>..." After the initial shock of what this ability truly represented, Noah then saw it for its uses as his eyes released radiant rays of baleful light… Chapter 1388: Humbled! An ability that made the Champion of Reality void and null! This was the other aspect that Noah focused on after the realization of just how easy it was for truly powerful beings to destroy those Lesser than them. It was a humbling experience for him who had just been breaking past one boundary of power after another as he almost had a feeling of Invincibility! But he did not wish to take the path that a certain champion was taking. He did not wish to have the mindset of someone like Aegon that was now actually the 3rd strongest within this Reality. Unless Aegon had a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict that could actually counter the Flames of Apocalypse, Noah could erase this being throughout the spacetime continuum as long as he paid the sufficient price in The Essence of Reality and the Essence of Apocalypse! The Primordial Cecilia…if the Status Sheet of this existence was to be believed, then Noah already had an ultimate weapon that could actually erase her! The only problem was the cost. How different was the cost to pay to erase a Champion of Reality, and how different would the cost be for a Primordial? This was something Noah had to find out about before he made any moves as it now turned out the ability granted by the Flames of Apocalypse would be one if not the most crucial piece for the battle to come! This reality also made Noah change his plans as for the remaining two Edicts that he needed complete before he joined the currently brewing War for Reality, one of the Edicts to be forged had to be one that prevented his death even across the space and time in the case he faced an existence with a similar concept as the <Apocalyptic Erasure> stemming from the Flames of Apocalypse. "Good…and it is not just me now!" In the Infinite Empire, Noah's True Sanguine Clone saw the scene reflected from his main body with Adelaide lovingly stroking her protruded belly, with his words reminding him that he had many things to protect and make sure that nothing wrong would ever descend unto them! On the subject of his future progeny, even as days continued to pass in Cosmic Time and years passed in the Cosmic Holy Land, the process of gestation taking such a long period of time that it made Noah curious of the wonder that would come out of it all. His True Sanguine Clone refocused soon after as he waved his hands to call out the last few remaining Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart, intent on putting ideas into reality as a cluster of Daos and other concepts appeared around him…along with the essence of Samsara! Noah had the Primordial Eye of the Pioneer as he could gaze at other being's Edicts and break them down into its counterparts for him to reforge the Edict as if it was his own…and Noah wanted to do this for Samsara as he reforged it into an Edict at the level of QUASI-INSUPERABLE! 'The inclusion of Ruination and design of a few Cosmic and Grand Daos should be more than sufficient to produce a result capable of protecting one across even space and time…' WAA! His thoughts were as vibrant as always as his True Sanguine Clone began on this task. — Within the Primordial Empire. The cluster of Cosmos making up this vast location termed as the Bastion of Reality was busy with activity as the many Cosmos remaining within…were all hoisting the banners of the House of Havenbreaker! The House of Stormdust had long since perished since his betrayal as anything left behind was absorbed into Havenbreaker, and then the remaining powerhouses and Cosmos from the House of Springforge also came under the banner of Havenbreaker as immense power fell into the hands of a single golden haired woman. At this moment, Havenbreaker herself was floating atop the Cosmic Battlefield as she watched the sparring of many Daolords and Forefathers that were preparing to defend the Bastion of Reality after the warning from Aegon that the Last War was coming. They were all prepared to the fullest as the reserves of Primordial Hearts and all other treasures were released for them to consume, and they now honed their power as on each of their bodies…the golden robes or combat suits that held the mark of Havenbreaker could be seen! 'All of it…under my feet.' Havenbreaker's eyes shone with immense power as one could see endless hunger and green within them, and she was slowly achieving her wishes as she was now second only to Aegon as he gave her the influence of the whole Primordial Cosmos. Even though she floated atop the Cosmic Battlefield, her Primordial Light of Authority could sense all of the Cosmos under her as she felt akin to being the ruler of these clusters of Cosmos herself! 'Now, I just have to watch Aegon rip apart the little Ender of Reality…and more than just this Empire will be under me! Springforge, the little whore of my own blood…I will show you all what it means to betray me. I will strip you down of all titles and dignity and make you realize the single woman who shall be overlooking this whole Reality!' WAA! Her eyes were filled with a venomous and enchanting light that if any common man saw- they would be enamored and intoxicated! She dreamt of a glorious future as she spearheaded the advancement of the Primordial Empire, being the shadow behind the great man and controlling everything. Her golden hair shone in the stellar darkness as her eyes dripped with pride and majesty, her thoughts bent on bending destiny to her own will! "Let the war come…we shall see who stands on top!" RUMBLE! The echoes of destiny weaved as her words reverberated out, the Primordial Empire entering a heightened state of activity as they prepared to carry out their jobs as the Protectors of Reality… Chapter 1389: What is True and What is False! I As the inhabitants of a certain Reality tried to control the weaving of destiny under their feet, the existence benefitting from the Reality itself and even gaining a passive generation of the Essence of Reality was more in tune than the vast majority. Yet even as the major controller, she wasn't even within the Reality itself as at this moment in time, the veiled Primordial Cecilia was wrapped in the folds of space as she observed a crucial juncture within one of the Emerging Realities she managed. It was a scene of a bloody and glorious war that was spearheaded by a powerful race of existences that all boasted a minimum size of a few thousand miles, their eyes crimson red as their humanoid bodies were adorned by silver-white hair that glimmered in the stellar Primordial Sea. They looked devilishly handsome as at their lead was an existence of titanous size as he was larger than a Universe, his silver hair draping onto him like a king as he currently held within his hands the halves of an Ender of Reality! 'The Vampyre Demon Race of this Champion stands out a bit among the masses…they've managed to take down the first risen Ender of Reality as it's smooth sailing from here!' Cecilia's eyes flashed with brilliance as she thought calmly. The first Ender of Reality a Champion faced was the hardest task they would have to overcome, but when it was done…the rewards from it would guarantee that they can keep down any future rising Cosmic Primordial Beasts as the Reality they dwell in would be considered a 'Secured Reality' among other names. A Reality that wasn't under a threat of being destroyed by the common means of Primordial Beasts…Cecilia watched the birth of such a Reality at this moment from the hands of one of her Champions! BZZZT! The space around her fluctuated as she went from being hidden to stepping out into the open, her body releasing the unique aura of a Higher Existence as it caused the countless millions of Vampyre Demons that had participated in the final war against the Primordial Beasts to raise their eyes towards her in awe. "My Little Vampyre Demon Emperor…I can almost remember finding you when you were just a fledgling in your world, and now you have accomplished the goal of defeating the Ender of Reality!" Her sonorous voice rang out as her figure descended regally, the devilishly handsome silver-haired Vampyre Demon Emperor glancing towards her direction with a fervent gaze as one could see his eyes filled with adornment! Cecilia smiled sweetly under her veil as she had seen this look too many times- a look of these Lesser existences becoming intoxicated by her mere presence alone as they imagined she was the ultimate prize in their Conquest and protection of their Reality. 'You are just little animals I rear to oversee my farms…what lost creatures you are.' Her thoughts were hidden as she floated down and used her gloved hands to raise the chin of the Vampyre Demon Emperor the size of a Universe, this motion seemingly being everything this existence wanted as her voice echoed out in a different fashion from her thoughts. "You have successfully protected your Reality as everything within it now lies under your grasp…protect it and take heed that you kill any other rising Enders of Reality in the future to come." Her words resonated in the mind of the smitten Champion as he nodded with a firm gaze as if he was given a holy mission, Cecilia looking at this existence as she nearly burst out laughing. 'Spend the rest of your insignificant life in this farm acting as my guard and protecting my interests…ah!' Her figure rose up as the devilishly handsome Champion gazed at her with longing, eventually disappearing from the eyes of all beings within this Reality as she stepped outside of its boundaries soon enough! In the Boundary Between Realities, her veiled figure hummed happily as destiny weaved around her. Her gaze then turned back towards the boundary of the Reality below her as an instant later… OOOM! A shocking and dictatorial authority of power erupted around her body as a pristine white ring- a Halo of utter light and authority erupted from her! An Ascendancy Halo! Utterly white in color, it seems to be tightly rotating around her body while at the same time being expansive enough to wrap around trillions of light years, but the unique thing was this Ascenday Halo releasing a white light that bathed the boundary of the Reality below her and in extension- the pristine River of this Reality. 'Mmm…' An intoxicating expression appeared under her veiled face as she sensed the Essence of Reality she was constantly receiving from the Reality below her through her Ascendancy Halo, the level of power it released being something that could have wiped out any common Champion or Ender of Reality within milliseconds. "One more Edict…and then I can forge another Halo!" RUMBLE! Her words echoed out to nobody as they held shocking information, her voice continuing to echo out as she observed the beauty and awe of her current Ascendancy Halo. "With White being the lowest Tier of an Ascendancy Halo…I should at least achieve a Blue Tier with the next combination of Flames…" Her eyes released a light of power as she spoke, revealing information that directly contrasted what a certain being had found out through <Author's Jurisdiction>. The number of Edicts she held and the True level of power of this Primordial…who could say what it actually was if there was something that allowed the masking of one's abilities?! The future was unknown as after seeing the secure line of her Ascendancy Halo onto the Reality below her, she gazed towards another location as her veiled eyes turned a hazy shade of gold. "Now, the next Emerging Reality to undergo their final war…oh?" She came to a stop as her eyes were glazed with a brighter shade of gold briefly, a smile of interest appearing beneath her veil. "Little Aegon is also getting ready for his Final War?" The waves of destiny called out from another Emerging Reality that this Primordial oversaw! Chapter 1390: What is True and What is False! II The weaving of destiny pulled Cecilia towards another Emerging Reality that she managed- another 'farm' for her to benefit from as it granted her a steady supply of the Essence of Reality! With her resplendent Ascendancy Halo reared back into her body calmly, her figure flittered past the Boundary Between Realities as she followed the strings of Destiny. — At this same time, the existence that had been the one to actively cause the changing destinies of the most powerful existences within his Reality- this existence was having his clones oversee a multitude of projects as one of them was currently looking at the rivers of Bloodlines lying within him! Through the Essence of the Sanguine Emperor, Noah had the capability to fuse Bloodlines and obtain something entirely new, so he had moved with efficiency in the past few days as after he collected the Bloodline the Universal Emperor Slime, he also obtained the Bloodlines of Cthulhu and others Terrors- these beings seemingly having diluted Bloodlines that Noah linked to the Outer Eldritch Terrors he knew dwelled within the Forgotten Realities. Noah had enhanced the concept of Cthulhu when making the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of Apocalypse as he was only able to touch in the Bloodline of Telos and be capable of utilizing a Domain of Apocalypse that eruption out with Outer Eldritch Terrors! Now, he was observing the Bloodlines he had collected as apart from Cthulhu that was ranked Uncommon, the Bloodline of Dragons was ranked Common, Phoenix was common, and even the Bloodline of the Emperor Penguin was normal! The quality of Bloodlines were abysmal as after Noah spent a significant amount of time utilizing Reader's Foresight and <Path to Victory>, he saw that nothing immensely special that would elevate his strength to a great degree would appear if he combined the current Bloodlines he had. For this, he had to explore the vast Realities and find what other wonders lay out there as he could collect as many Bloodlines as he came across in this manner. This was the conclusion relating to Bloodlines, but there was another conclusion Noah had drawn recently after he obtained his Flames of Apocalypse, and he later confirmed this conclusion with the Flames of Kismet and Commandment! This conclusion was a deadly one that stemmed from the fact that Noah realized beings with higher ranked Edicts could very easily suppress and overcome others without- as could be seen by how <Apocalyptic Erasure> entirely ignored any effects of Flames of Minor and Greater Edicts! From this, he also realized that the information he obtained from others with his Greater and Minor Edicts…could be faulty or not necessarily true as long as they defended with a similar level Edict geared towards protecting or masking themselves, or they just had higher level Edicts that allowed them to only ever reveal to others what they wanted to! "Hyperion's should not be wrong…but the information I have on Cecilia could be faulty!" WAA! Noah came to this realization after spending too much time on pondering the true meaning of Apocalyptic Erasure, and he felt as if he had found a dangerous pitfall he could have fallen into if he barged into the battle with guns blazing with utter confidence in his victory while relying on information that might not at all be entirely true. "For this and more…I need powerful protective and supportive Edicts!" Yes! Noah had the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor and the Flames of Apocalypse as Edicts at the QUASI-INSUPERABLE level, but he needed his next two Edicts to be of this same level if not higher as for this…he was going ahead and undertaking a glorious path. He had begun by utilizing the Primordial Eye of the Pioneer to break down the concepts of the Nomological Edict of Samsara and forge them into his own Dao that had its qualities…and he then went further forward as he also broke down the aspects he infused to make the Nomological Edict of Kismet to also make another Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict out of it! He wanted to forge two simultaneous Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts as all he had to do was break down past concepts he already knew and add a few new things, and make sure to put in both Primordial and Ruination Daos to make it at the level of QUASI-INSUPERABLE. "If I can forge a single Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict, I can forge multiple of them!" RUMBLE! His demeanor dripped with majesty as two of his True Sanguine clones sat together currently surrounded by a myriad of concepts. One side held the golden shimmering concepts that made up the past Nomological Edict of Kismet, and another side made the vibrant green-blue concepts of Samsara. Towards both of these sides, Noah had thrown the essence of the Primordial and Ruination Daos to guarantee their path towards the QUASI-INSUPERABLE level. The scene alone was of utter glory as his two True Sanguine Clones floated in stellar space shimmering with colors, their hands constantly moving as they fused multiple concepts together into something ecstatic! On the side of the Concept of Kismet, Noah threw in the elevated [Fate's Guardian] skill tree along with the extra additions of a newly forged Normal Cosmic Daos of Vista that engaged more in the concept of visions, and the Cosmic Dao of the Inquisitor for the sake of seeking information. On the opposite side, the concept of Samsara was broken down into its daos and Laws as Noah added into it the concept of the [Yggdrasil] skill tree that was elevated to the Universal Filament level, along with the Cosmic Daos Biosphere, Runes, Blueprint and the newly forged Cosmic Dao of Brio that contained the concept of spirit, and the Cosmic Dao of Longevity that of course…were all topped off with the Primordial Dao and the Dao of Ruination. With two vastly different concepts- one leaning toward destiny and information and the other leaning toward life, Noah forged forward as his eyes shone with utter brilliance, doing something that even average Primordials would look at in surprise and awe! Chapter 1391: Antediluvian and Dictum! I Simultaneously forging two Nomological Edicts! The process was something that took time as Noah utilized the interlinking quality of the Primordial Essence to connect everything with each other, the Dao of Fusion pervasively flowing all around to also bring everything together. As he did this, his own Infinite Empire was undergoing great changes that had begun with beings like Adelaide and the Blue Slime. The changes were its most powerful combatants having their Origins induced to produce the True Blood of Higher Existences, and Noah utilizing his new Bloodline of Sanguine Emperor to forge Bloodline Heralds that were a level higher than the bond of Vampyres! In the Novus Universe, many beings were observing this scene as Halcyon was floating beside a clone of Noah while gazing towards another one of his clones conducting this process on Existences like Oathkeeper, Kazuhiko, and others. Her body was draped in a white dress that tightly hugged her curves, her golden hair and eyes causing the stellar space around them to be brighter as her voice echoed out melodiously. "What I am seeing continues to change. Even under the Nomological Edict of Kairos, the future I see now seems drastically different compared with what I've been seeing just weeks ago." Her words were filled with awe at such a Reality, Noah nodding towards this woman besides her as he replied softly. "What do you see now?" He was curious how different the things she knew were compared to his own knowledge, and Halcyon didn't hold back as she spoke with her golden eyes releasing rays of light. "I see an oppressive black domain covering everything…I see a crimson ring of magisterial light standing above a white ring as they battle for supremacy…" RUMBLE! "I see…golden blood flowing freely to form an endless river that is filled with shattered Cosmos. Much of everything else is blurry unless I can complete Kairos to make what I see even clearer." …! Her gaze looked astounded as she repeated her own words, Noah listening in carefully as there were things he knew and things he didn't! An endless river that was filled with shattered Cosmos! The fortune and destiny within him rumbled at the mere thought of this as he spoke. "And what about your Father? What about the Enemy of Reality?" He asked as he recalled her call towards him weeks ago to help her stand against Aegon as he was labeled the Enemy of Reality, even though he knew that his own drastic and ridiculous actions had caused too many changes in the possible futures. "I…cannot see anything that seems to relate to him. Either things have changed so much that he is not a threat anymore, or something else is in place that prevents me from seeing things about him." Halcyon carefully tried to read Noah's expression as she spoke, seeing nothing but a smile as quietness descended around the two beings as each of them became lost in their own thoughts! Halcyon wanted to confirm whether things had truly changed so much that Aegon wasn't a terrifying threat- and she was being led more and more to believe this when she gazed at Noah and what he was currently doing, even feeling the swirling golden True Blood within her that covered 20% of her Origin. Noah could grant 9 beings 40% True Blood generation and 81 beings 20% True Blood generation. The choices to make were important as one slot had to remain for the Ender of Reality in order to bring all their plans to fruition! OOOM! In their surroundings, the austere aura that Noah was releasing to finish the Induction of True Blood within Tiamat died down as all those in the surroundings looked towards him with more and more awe. Springforge felt the viscous blood coursing through her as she shook her head in disbelief while gazing towards Noah, and she wasn't alone in this as a future cluster of Higher Existences all felt their Origins vibrating as they could see their destinies tied to a single being- their thoughts towards him constantly changing as a singular concept remained when they looked at him. That concept was Trust! —- Vibrant colors pulsed in a constant and overbearing fashion as two new concepts were nearing completion around Noah's two True Sanguine Clones. The simultaneous completion of two Insuperable Nomological Edicts might have been an arduous task for others, but Noah merely took it as a challenge as he watched the final interlinking of concepts with Primordial Essence along with the essence of Fusion finishing everything! THRUM! An austere and fantastical aura of power then began to leak out, undoubtedly wanting to announce itself to everyone within the Reality as before it could erupt out, the already established Authority of Apocalypse and the Sanguine Emperor bellowed out dangerously as everything turned mute. Around one of the True Sanguine Clones, a brilliant green river of essence undulated with light, while the other Sanguine Clone had a golden river cascading its profound waves over everything! Each of them were wondrously and without question Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts, Noah showing once again just how terrifying his perception was! "From the concepts contained in Samsara and the additions of the Yggdrasil skill tree and multiple other Cosmic Daos…the Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict that would ensure my safety from facing True Death against anything of its same level…is the Nomological Edict of Antediluvian." RUMBLE! Antediluvian! A word that meant ancient, primitive, or simply a concept of age and oldness! This was the product that stemmed from the concepts of the daos and laws within Samsara added on to many other things. Noah's gaze then went towards the edict that was essentially an upgraded Kismet with the addition of Fate's Guardian among many other things, the name of this Edict resounding in his mind as both of their rivers surged into his Origin and soul through his True Sanguine Clones. "The Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor…" Dictum- a word leaning more towards a decree or a regulation as in this case, Noah would be the one capable of seeing through the decrees in the aspects of destiny and fate at the QUASI-INSUPERABLE levels! The two Edicts surged into his Soul and Origin as a unique change began to occur at the core of Noah's soul- a change that was induced more by the newly forged Nomological Edict of Antediluvian! Chapter 1392: Antediluvian and Dictum! II A change began to occur in the depths of Noah's soul and Origin as he felt something inside him change once more. It was a somewhat familiar feeling now based on its frequency, with Noah instantly being able to tell that it was the birth of another Bloodline! But this shouldn't have been so since he had to forge the Flames of any of these Edicts that would grant him their Bloodlines. To affirm his thoughts, he checked on the suspect that was Antediluvian right away! {QUASI-INSUPERABLE <Nomological Edict of Antediluvian> :: A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos, and it cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of Antediluvian is further elevated as it stands at the rank of QUASI-INSUPERABLE, touching on the boundary of ancient and undeniable authorities privy to select beings. The Edict is birthed from the combination of the Daos of Primordial, Ruination, Brio, Longevity, Biosphere, Runes, Blueprint, Reincarnation, Chronos, and Extinction, and Destiny along with laws of Fate, Life, Death, and Chaos. The Edict is further influenced by the concepts within Yggdrasil as a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Edict capable of causing the budding of a Primal Bloodline is born….} {...The user is granted the title of The Antediluvian as the awakening of the Bloodline of the Primal Titans is accessed through it. Those holding the title Antediluvian are extremely ancient existences that have lived through eons of time, their Origins and souls being something that are extremely hard to eradicate by anything other than high-ranking Edicts. At the level of QUASI-INSUPERABLE, the Nomological Edict of Antediluvian grants its architect the same capabilities from the influenced concept of Samsara, with the exception that the Architect of Antediluvian being able of traversing the different time points on any branching Realities they come across. When moving across time, the life force of the Architect is granted an increase of 10,000,000,000% across its timelines- from birth to the current point in time. When one achieves completion of this Edict, they will be granted the Flames of Antediluvian that allows them to put their Origin and Soul on a continuum as no Edict of the same Rank or Lower will be capable of causing their True Death. An additional base increase of +500,000,000% to All Parameters is granted along with the abilities <Antediluvian Tree>, <Primal Authority>, <Physique of a Titan>, and <Unshaken>. 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 +10,000,000%, an increase of +20,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 10% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of Antediluvian: 1%} Noah's first design of an Edict that would somewhat guarantee his life as long as he didn't jump multiple ranks of Enemies bloomed before his eyes- with its biggest still yet to be seen as these would come from its completed form! Uniquely, it granted him the initiation into the Bloodline of Primal Titans that were unique Higher Existences that Noah had heard about from Hyperion- the beings that forged the Eonic Bell of the Unguarded that was a Quasi-Primordial Relic! This perk was reminiscent of the Nomological Edict of Apocalypse that had granted Noah the initiation into the Bloodline of Telos- a terrifying race of creatures that moved within the Forgotten Realities and were considered Taboo by many races of Higher Existences. The Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts he was forging so far seemed to grant him such unique perks as for Antediluvian, Noah sought the perks of its Flames as the moment of its design, his seas of fortune and destiny churned to activate Author's Jurisdiction once more, pulling up his own status sheet as he focused on this Edict and edited its number from 1% to 100% right away! BZZT! The essence of Reality was mobilized within his Origin. It shone with gorgeous colors as it bathed the concept of Antediluvian, Noah finding this Nomological Edict blooming into green Flames seconds later as these Flames released a shocking level of power! Iridescent green Flames burned wildly within his Origin as their details traveled themselves to him right after. The perks that as the description of the Edict mentioned- they would allow him to put his Origin and soul onto their own continuum as no Edicts of this rank or lesser would ever even think of being capable of causing him True Death! The Flames caused his Universal Body to glimmer verdant green as its details rose before him. <Flames of Antediluvian> :: The Flames Antediluvian bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of Antediluvian and the ignition of the Bloodline of the Primal Titans. With the Flames of Antediluvian, one's Origin and Soul can be placed on a continuum as no Edict of the same Rank or Lower will be capable of causing their True Death. The title of the Antediluvian Bloodline Progenitor is granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 1 other Existence into your Bloodline. The tier of this Edict is extremely high as for the sake of purity, only a single follower is allowed. The follower of the Bloodline of Antediluvian will gain an increased chance of comprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the required laws and daos to be an eventuality. A natural suppression effect also exists with this Edict against any GREATER or MINOR Nomological Edicts due its higher rank, with the essence of lower Edicts losing 60% of their effectiveness when facing the Antediluvian. As the architect of this Bloodline Edict, you are granted the abilities of <<Soul Continuum>> that can be utilized with the Essence of Antediluvian, and <<Continuum Influencer>> that can be utilized with the Essence of Reality. As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of Antediluvian, you are granted +2,500,000,000% to All Parameters, +10,000,000,000% to True Defense, and +2,500,000,000% to True Annihilatory Damage. All abilities that utilize the Essence of Antediluvian also have their resource requirement cut down by half, and your Origin produces an extra 10 million Splendiferous Universes daily… "Ah…" Noah's heart suddenly felt at ease. The answer to his worries arrived in the form of gorgeous green Flames that illuminated his surroundings! Chapter 1393: Antediluvian and Dictum! III Noah's worries about facing an existence that could wipe him out across time were reduced to nothingness the moment he forged the Nomological Edict of Antediluvian. As long as he didn't stupidly seek overly powerful Enemies who could forge INSUPERABLE level Edicts, he wouldn't have to worry. If he wanted to act tough and walk around like he was Invincible- he had to first forge an Insuperable Edict himself or achieve the Realm of Reality! But before then, he would watch his steps carefully and make sure not to stumble. The Flames of Antediluvian were wondrous with their ability to allow Noah to put his Soul into its own Continuum- one that couldn't be accused to be destroyed by anyone with a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict or lesser Edicts! This was what the ability <<Soul Continuum>> was for! <<Soul Continuum>> :: Universes can be destroyed, so can Cosmos, and so can Realities. The concept of Samsara is a failed Edict as it grants one the false feeling of safety from binding their Origin and Soul onto their Reality- with the fact that as long as their Reality exists, so do they. But Realities can be destroyed as the elevation of the concepts of Samsara into Antediluvian, one can bind his Soul into their own separate Continuum as others who cannot even bypass the essence of this QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict cannot even have access to it! Even if one's home Reality is shattered, they shall drift across the boundaries of Reality until they delve into another. This is a passive ability once activated for the first time, with the only requirement being the Essence of Antediluvian. Your life is in your hands alone as even the reliance on a Reality is removed… A domineering ability that essentially called the Greater Nomological Edict of Samsara that Noah touched upon first from the Primordial Cecilia as a failure! Even Realities could be destroyed as one could not depend on them to secure their lives! This was the truth Noah found from Antediluvian. Before he lost himself in it entirely, he also went forward to gaze at the second simultaneously forged Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor. {QUASI-INSUPERABLE <Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor> ::A Nomological Edict is a form of undeniable truth and authority that is birthed from the combination of laws and Daos, and it cannot be circumvented or stopped by anything, with the only possibility of deniability lying with another Edict. The Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor is further elevated as it stands at the rank of QUASI-INSUPERABLE, touching on the boundary of ancient and undeniable authorities privy to select beings. The Edict is birthed from the combination of the Daos of Primordial, Ruination, Vista, Fusion, Runes, Destiny, Reincarnation, Chronos, along with the laws of Karma, Life, Death, Chaos, and lastly Time. The concepts of [Fate' Guardian] have been infused into all of these concepts including the inspirations from the Nomological Edict of Kismet, granting the Architect of the Dictum Emperor the ability to take a hold of their destiny and fortune as they can perceive their own fate and release the Decrees of the Dictum Emperor to actively change it….} {...The perception, shaping, and manipulating of destiny is something that carries with it the capability to influence reality, this ability exceeding Kismet in this regard as its essence alone can carry out Minor changes across Reality, with major changes still requiring the Essence of Reality. The Architect of the Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor is granted the abilities <Destiny Relegation>, <Eye of Fate>, <Premium Reader>, and <Victorious Emperor> and +500,000,000% Increased Reserves and Regeneration of Golden Destiny and Fortune. Complete progression of this Edict will allow to Decree the fates and destinies of others as their effects take hold simultaneously within Reality and the granting of the Destiny Goblin Bloodline that allows one access to the Forsaken Treasure Realities. 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 +10,000,000%, an increase of +20,000,000% to All Parameters, and increases the chances of Fusions of other Laws and Daos by 10% for the production of other Nomological Edicts. Current fusion of the laws and Daos for the Nomological Edict of The Dictum Emperor : 1% Yet another wonder lay before existence eyes as this one was even more straightforward with its boosts, Noah seeing the inclusion of a Bloodline for this Nomological Edict as well! Uniquely, this Bloodline was one of a Destiny Goblin that he would be given at the completion of the Edict, and it wasn't simply an Induction into the Bloodline similar to Telos and Primal Titan. It was a complete Bloodline of a race of beings termed Destiny Goblins that Noah had never heard of before, with the fantastical thing being that this race was allowed entrance into the Forsaken Treasure Realities! Noah's eyes were releasing golden rays of light at such a cluster of information as he once more took hold of his vastly increased Destiny and Fortune, activating Author's Jurisdiction yet again as when a golden pen landed on his grasp, the only thing he saw was the change from 1% to 100% for the Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor. The last one-third of the Essence of Reality that he held disappeared along with the edit of this Reality, the concept of The Dictum Emperor becoming bathed with the Essence of Reality. This…was a momentous occasion as it wasn't only the birth of a new Bloodline Flame of an Edict, but also the completion of Noah's promise to forge 4 new completed Edicts in a short period of time to Hyperion! At the end of this promise was Noah being able to partake in as many Primordial Beasts as he needed to until he achieved the Cosmic Realm! Now…all of these conditions were completed. THRUM! His Origin released sparks of glorious light as yet another golden flame bloomed, the product of the concepts of Kismet and many others coming to complete fruition before Noah's eyes as at the same time, he felt the birth of two Bloodlines from these Flames of the Dictum Emperor. One was the Bloodline Edict of these Flames as the other…Noah expected it to be the Bloodline of the Destiny Goblins who could apparently access the Forsaken Treasure Realities! Chapter 1394: Antediluvian and Dictum! IV The Flames of the Dictum Emperor came with two Bloodlines as well! One was the Bloodline of the Edict itself as the other…was that of something unique called a Destiny Goblin. OOOM! Noah felt the raging Flames of Dictum shine gold and paint everything within him, the Bloodline of Dictum calmly taking up residence within a portion of his Origin as the Bloodline of Destiny Bloodline should have done the same until Noah ever called upon it! But it did not calmly get put away as Noah stared at this Bloodline carefully, and when he checked the Rarity of this Bloodline…he was utterly surprised. This was because the past Bloodlines he had obtained recently- Apocalypse, Telos, Antediluvian, Primal Titan, and Dictum…they were all given the rank of Rare. Yet standing clear in gold right before Noah's eyes…he saw the Bloodline of Destiny Goblin shining purple as it was ranked Ultra Rare! The first ever Ultra Rare Bloodline…and it was from something that Noah would not have expected at all. What would make a Destiny Goblin more unique than Telos- existences born from Apocalypses themselves as they destroyed Realities more than Primordial Beasts? How was it more pristine than Primal Titans that measured up to Primordials in terms of forging?! The question buzzed in Noah's mind as he called upon this unique Bloodline to understand it. Apart from the Bloodline Edict, Noah could call upon any of his Bloodlines and entirely turn into what they are- with the only exception being the Bloodlines that were induced by Edicts and he hadn't obtained fully like Telos and the Bloodline of a Primal Titan. If he wished to, he could fully change his form into the Bloodline of the Universal Emperor Slime and turn into this existence, or become a full fledged Cthulhu if he wished to! Uniquely, the Flames of the QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor granted him a full Bloodline of the Destiny Goblin and not just an Induction of it, which meant Noah could transform into such an existence anytime he wished! "Destiny Goblin." THRUM! His True Blood boiled and seethed as one of his True Sanguine Clones spoke out. An aura of regality and ancientness spread out as Noah's eyes flashed, Destiny telling him something as this clone flashed away from the Novus Universe and appeared out in the chaotic Ruination Sea that actually became docile at his entrance! He did this because he found out that switching to the Bloodline of the Destiny Goblin caused his body to begin expanding in terms of light years, the form of this creature apparently titanous as this was the reason he took a step and arrived countless light years away in the Ruination Sea. OOOM! His body continued to change as the billions of Universes that made up his Universal Origin disappeared, his body expanding to be larger than multiple Galaxies as it just continued to expand endlessly while a golden light began to stretch out into the distance! From the size of Galaxies, it continued to stretch out until it became something the size of a Universe as Noah found his body was no less in stature than that of Hyperion. When he gazed at his form though…he was speechless! A hulking mass of a being draped over with a golden shimmering cloak that shone for light years all around, his skin being tinged with a purple blue color as it seemed stellar, and his facial features were grotesque yet beautiful at the same time as he had a sharp protruding nose and wide ears that screamed of vicissitudes. On his back, Noah felt a huge golden cloth sack that seemed to be strapped onto his body- this cloth sack shining with a glorious light as when his awareness went into it…he saw a storage space the size of hundreds of Cosmos as he could swear it was as large as the Primordial Empire in sheer space! His identity as a Higher Existence made him exceedingly beautiful as even in the form that one would identify as a grotesque Goblin, he was instead glowing with an archaic light as the golden sack he carried behind him was capable of fitting in everything. BZZZT! Noah's curiosity was piqued with this Bloodline as he circulated his essence and took a single step, shockingly finding the space around him becoming warped and breaking as he reappeared in an entirely different region in the Ruination Sea at a speed he didn't have before! "Even faster movement speed with this Bloodline?" He looked at his form curiously as to know more about it, the Flames of the Dictum Emperor were the answer! {<Flames of the Dictum Emperor> :: The Flames of the Dictum Emperor bloom in your origin as they usher in the Bloodline of the Dictum Emperor and the granting of the full Bloodline of the Destiny Goblin. Destiny Goblins are a race of unique creatures rarely born across Realities, with their Bloodlines being drawn towards the Forsaken Treasure Realities that are clustered with all the dangers and treasures of unstable Realities. Very few can access the Forsaken Treasure Realities as one must be at a minimum at the Cosmic Filament Realm to force their way in, but the Destiny Goblins are granted entrance no matter their rank as unfounded secrets, Cosmic Treasures, and Primordial Treasures are the least of the things that lay within the Forsaken Treasure Realities. Destiny Goblins are rare to come across as many Higher Existences will seek to enslave them for their own gains. With the Bloodline of the Destiny Goblin and Flames of the Dictum Emperor, fortune and destiny roll around you waiting for your decrees as you gain <<Goblin's Intuition>> that grants you a pull towards Treasures and events that are favorable for you…} {...The title of the Dictum Emperor Bloodline Progenitor is also granted for being the Architect of this Nomological Edict, granting you the capability to introduce 1 other Existence into your Bloodline. The tier of this Edict is extremely high as for the sake of purity, only a single follower is allowed. The follower of the Bloodline of the Dictum Emperor will gain an increased chance of comprehending the Nomological Edict and have the task of fusing the required laws and daos to be an eventuality. A natural suppression effect also exists with this Edict against any GREATER or MINOR Nomological Edicts due its higher rank, with the essence of lower Edicts losing 60% of their effectiveness when facing the Dictum Emperor. As the architect of this Bloodline Edict, you are granted the ability of <<Author's Viewpoint>> that can be utilized with the Essence of As the Progenitor of the Bloodline of the Dictum Emperor and the Essence of Reality, along with the granting of +10,000,000,000% to All Parameters and +5,000,000,000% to your reserves of Destiny and Fortune. All abilities that utilize the Essence of the Dictum Emperor also have their resource requirement cut down by half, and your Origin produces an extra 10 million Splendiferous Universes daily…} A wonder of an Edict to top off Noah's mass Edict designs for some time opened itself before his eyes! Chapter 1395: COSMIC! I The unique Destiny Goblins were actually sought after by other Higher Existences because of their unique capabilities and connections with the Forsaken Treasure Realities! Realities filled with immense danger and fortune that Cosmic Filament Realm was the minimum requirement for other existences, but it was simply home for Destiny Goblins as if Noah went there…. BZZZT! His fortune and destiny that had been raging and expanding constantly called out hungrily for Noah to seek the Forsaken Treasure Realities as he agreed with his destiny entirely, putting this at the forefront of his to do list as soon as things were wrapped up in his Reality. The eyes of his current Destiny Goblin form shone with a golden luster as they gazed at the passive ability of <<Goblin's Intuition>> that led Noah towards Treasures and even events that were favorable towards him- meaning it was an upgraded version of <Path to Victory> as a concept of this skill was turned passive with Noah being capable of seeing right away which moves he ought to make! Then, there were the boons of the second ability that came with the Flames of the Dictum Emperor- it was <<Author's Viewpoint>>. From the Flames of Kismet, Noah had obtained <<Author's Jurisdiction>> that essentially allowed him to edit information about himself or even others if he paid a sufficient price in the Essence of Reality. The ability unlocked by the Flames of the Dictum Emperor should be an even more elevated version of this as Noah wondered just how different it was! <<Author's Viewpoint>> :: The weaving of destiny and the direction of events is hard to grasp, nonetheless influence to any degree. This ability allows the Dictum Emperor to influence the weaving of his own destiny and the direction of his own set of events and story- along with the story of the immediate beings around him as if he pays a sufficient enough price, he can decree it with the Essence of Reality and the Essence of the Dictum Emperor to steer it toward a direction he wishes. Apart from the large scale influence of the weaving of Destiny, the Dictum Emperor can also peer into the identities of himself and those around him, being capable of altering portions of their realities so long as a sufficient cost of the Essence of Reality is paid. The paths shall be laid out, the Dictum Emperor shall lay down his decree…and the rest is but a story. "..." Silence. Noah actually could not find the words for such a simply described skill as it was utterly ridiculous! Apart from the perks of the Author's Jurisdiction that were included in it, Noah also now had the ability to more closely see the weaving of destiny and where his path was going, along with the paths of the major players around him as with a sufficient enough price in the Essence of Reality- he could influence and steer the erasing of destiny at an imperceptible and major level! Author's Viewpoint. It seemed terrifying enough at this moment in time, but Noah knew that this ability would truly shine for him in the future when he held large reserves of the Essence of Reality to fully utilize it. At this point in time, he was already entirely drained of all of this essence as it was entirely used up to elevate his four Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts to completion. But beautifully enough, with their completion came another unfolding achievement- the achievement of the Cosmic Realm as he had met the required conditions of achieving 4 new completed Edicts on top of Kismet and Commandment! He held 6, and Hyperion held 9. Together, they formed the 15 required for one to even think of dabbling in etching a Primordial Epitaph. But this goal was met as it meant Noah could partake in a buffet of Primordial Beasts, his essence watching over the bindings of the Flames of Commandment that bound him and Hyperion as he sent his will through them. At the same time, he changed his Bloodline from the unique Destiny Goblin into his Universal Form- the titanic universe-sized golden Goblin with a huge sack tied behind him disappearing as an existence shining thoroughly with dozens of billions of Universes appeared instead. "Let's go collect the fruits of our labor…" With a light smile, Noah took a few steps as his figure blurred into Resplendent light, his target being the Primordial Sea that had begun to undergo changes the moment his will had communicated to Hyperion! — In the vast Primordial Sea. OOOOM! Pristine white Flames of a GREATER Edict came together to form an enormous circular gateway- and droves of Primordial Beasts were entering through this Gateway under the command of Hyperion as none of them knew for what reason they were doing this, but they just followed orders! The Draconic-Elephantine figure of Hyperion himself floated to the side dominatingly as he saw the procession of Grand and Primordial Beast walk into a small pocket Dimension conjured by the Flames of his Edict, his eyes releasing rays of dangerous light as many thoughts swirled within his vast consciousness. 'He was truly able to complete four Edicts in the span of mere days? Even with the essence of Reality, its…' An impossibility! Yet the Flames of the Greater Edict binding him told him otherwise as Hyperion raised his opinion on the existence known as Noah Osmont a level higher. WAP! Near his titanous body, the figure in question appeared as he had a calm expression on his face- his body not releasing any waves of essence or power as one might think he was utterly harmless! "The number of required Edicts has been met." His voice melodiously echoed out as it contained stupendous authority and confidence. His gaze was on the river of Primordial Beast entering into a gateway formed by the Flames of an Edict as they stepped into a separate pocket dimension, his eyes releasing a stellar light as hunger could be seen within them! Hyperion's golden trunks shone as he nodded, a light of coldness flashing within his eyes as his current actions were exceedingly cruel. He was putting those of his own race onto a platter for another being, and yet his heart was steeled and firm as not an ounce of hesitation could be seen. "Make it quick." WAA! These were the words of an Ender of Reality that was shockingly giving his brethren to another being for no reason other than him reaching the Cosmic Realm! ​Chapter 1396: COSMIC! II A procession of regal Primordial Beasts floated through a Gateway made from the Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict, heading into it under the commands of the single Cosmic Beast above them as not a single one knew what was in store! Noah watched this scene with ease and calm as the procession of Beasts neared its end soon after, his sensing telling him of the large number within as he voiced out to Hyperion. "Will that be enough?" "If the number is little, I can just add more." WAA! Hyperion replied impassively as with these words, Noah turned into an imperceptible flash of light as he took a single step to appear past the Gateway! OOONG! The shimmering gate of light leading to another Dimension then closed as the Flames of the Greater Nomological Edict dwindled down into nothingness. — Within the isolated dimension. The Primordial Beasts formed ranks as they awaited the commands of the Ender of Reality, but they felt the fluctuations of another being appear within the same space as them, all of their eyes turning towards the direction of a small human being that wasn't releasing any aura at all! This would normally cause others to turn away with disdain, but the Beasts knew this being very well as their eyes flashed with carefulness. Where was the Ender of Reality? Why were they in this dimension? And why was this anomalous human here?! Questions that these powerful beings who had lived for millions of years asked themselves, but no answer would come to them until it was much too late. Noah looked at the vast array of Primordial Beasts as his eyes flashed, his thoughts his own as he marveled at the situation he was in and laughed at the weaving of destiny! 'Your lives are put on a platter without even your knowledge…' It was a terrifying situation that made him reflect, where he never wanted to be in a position like these beasts who didn't know what was coming to them until it was too late. 'For that…I must continue to achieve even greater levels of strength!' RUMBLE! His Origin moved with his thoughts as Mana coursed through him at a speed that Lower Existences would envy. {BIND} In but an instant, a Runic Ecriture from the Nomological Edict of Commandment was written in bold golden words, the Flames of this Edict erupting out to wash over the hundreds of Primordial Beasts in this isolated Dimension before they could even react! The Flames of a GREATER Nomological Edict bound them in a blink as wondrously, Noah's ridiculously added perks from all of his new Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict and his elevation into a Higher Existence made it so that all the terrifying Beasts were akin to nothing before his eyes. They were all bound with ease as to their shock, their Origins nor souls could activate anything within their bodies. This…was a natural suppression from the power of a Higher Existence to a lower one as the effect of one's attacks were enhanced to a stupendous level! In the isolated dimension, not a single Primordial Beast could move as their hearts began to palpate with horror, their awareness watching the being responsible as they heard him say a set of words that would be the last thing that a majority of them heard. While gazing at the bound Primordial Beasts before him, Millions of Splendiferous Universes began to burn within Noah's Origin as the Cosmic Dao of Loot was activated! The Increased Loot Quantity and Rarity Reality bending effects were put on display as he would obtain 500 times the amount of Loot and at qualities multiple levels higher. Thereafter, his Origin surged calmly as the essence of a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict rose up. "Domain of Apocalypse." THRUM! Noah's eyes were calm as he drew an outline for the Domain to cover 66% of all the Primordial Beasts within this isolated Dimension! The Domain of Apocalypse that would bring with it Eldritch Terrors, Cardinal Sins, and a Tower of Ragnarok at its very center as the Domain was filled with horrendous effects others couldn't even imagine! Such a domain began to manifest as the hearts of Primordial Beasts shook, those targeted at the very center of the Domain seeing the appearance of a hazy obsidian red tower beginning to manifest around them as it released with it an unbelievable power. The moment this Tower began to manifest around them… PUFF! Was the moment that the Essence of Apocalypse- the Essence of a QUASI-INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict touched them! The moment they came in contact with this essence…their bodies could not hold on for even a millisecond as horrifically, their muscles and bones exploded into a cloud of crimson gold mist. ….! Before the Domain of Apocalypse could even fully defend, the hundreds of Primordial Beasts that would have given Daolords, Forefathers, and even beings with an Edict or two some trouble…they were all turned into bloody golden mists as they couldn't even handle the descent of True Apocalypse! Hundreds of Lesser and Grand Primordial Beasts died within less than a millisecond. OOOOM! The domain of Apocalypse came to a halt before the Tower of Ragnarok and Eldritch Terrors could even fully manifest out, their targets being merely crimson gold mist at this moment as this scene…caused the hearts of the 33% remaining Primordial Beasts to shudder in utter fear. Yes! Fear! The regal and powerful Beasts that ate up Universes and Cosmos felt their Origins quake fearfully at the being that could wipe out hundreds of them in a blink! If being turned into mere mist by a set of words was their fate, just what did this terrifying being have in store for them?! Even as they questioned and felt their terror compounding, no answer came as the being in question was watching the golden prompts begin to rise before him as they told him of all the loot he had gained from a single move that killed Hundreds of Primordial Beasts, the called out Domain of Apocalypse fading before it could even fully materialize. The loot…was more than enough for one to reach the Cosmic Realm! Chapter 1397: COSMIC! III As the fantastical golden blood mist from hundreds of Beasts permeated out, Noah's eyes were filled with the prompts that told him of the Loot he had just gained! [+786 Lesser Primordial Hearts obtained…] DING! The effects of the Cosmic Dao of Loot are applied…[+393,000 Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart obtained.] [+28 Grand Primordial Hearts obtained…] DING! The effects of the Cosmic Dao of Loot are applied…[+14,000 Resplendent Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart obtained.] [+824 Billion Skill Points obtained…] DING! The effects of the Cosmic Dao of Loot are applied…[+824 Cosmic Resource Points obtained.] Stellar and wondrous loot! From mere Lesser Primordial Hearts, he obtained 786,000 Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart after doubling them through the Cosmic Treasure RUINATION, which when multiplied by the 50,000 Splendiferous Universes granted by each shard…close to 40 Billion Splendiferous Universes are obtained! Just that was enough for Noah to achieve the remaining Splendiferous Universes to reach 100 Billion. But on top of it all, the 28,000 Resplendent Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart that stemmed from Grand Primordial Beasts and granted 200,000 per Shard gave an additional 5 Billion Splendiferous Universes as at this point,, Noah was truly set. OOOM! His body fluctuated with a sharp light as he gazed at the remaining one third of the Primordial Beast, his figure beginning to warp and constrict as he pulled out the Bloodline of a unique existence from his Origin and soul! In the blink of an eye, his body shrunk as it formed into a viscous bubbly mass, Noah becoming a stellar golden Slime that shimmered with the light of Universes as his viscous eyes blinked with a terrifying light when gazing at the Primordial Beasts. It was time for him to now collect the Essence of Reality that these existences held within their bodies, and the Universal Emperor Slime Bloodline was just what was needed for this as Noah's now viscous body began to expand rapidly to cover all the remaining bound Primordial Beasts whose Origins were shaking fearfully. The sight of a golden Slime glimmering with the stellar light of Universes established itself as the fear within the Primordial Beasts reached the peak! The moment his body fully covered them… <Universal Devouring>. WAP! A single flash of golden light. An entire array of hundreds of Primordial Beasts disappeared! BZZZT! Within Noah's Origin, Essence of Reality wildly gushed out into his very center as he digested all the gains of these creatures- from their laws and Daos to their Universes, and all the way to the reserves of Essence of Reality they held! From the aspect of Universes he obtained through Universal Devouring alone, the number actually reached a collective 8 billion as Noah's body vibrantly pulsed with intense light. 'Ridiculous…' He enjoyed the boons of the Emperor Slime whose race was truly one of cheaters, where if it devoured an existence with 50 Billion Universes…it would itself have 50 Billion Universes. If a being from the Universal Emperor Slime race devoured a Cosmic Filament Realm existence…they would attain the Cosmic Filament Realm of that Existence! Universal Devouring! This was what it really was. Noah's heart settled as after wiping out all of the Primordial Beasts and gaining rather large reserves of the Essence of Reality, his heart calmed. His destiny and fortune ebbed and flowed within his Origin as he felt like he had arrived at a crucial juncture- a juncture that would yet again elevate him from one being and into an entirely different one. OOOM! In this isolated Dimension, his True Sanguine Clone in the form of the Universal Emperor Slime stayed still. Further away from this dimension within the Primordial Sea, Noah's main body rose in the Cosmic Holy Land as he went forward to sit on the vast golden throne at the highest peak of the golden steps! His body was showing the Universal Form of close to 70 Billion Universes even before he began to absorb the essence of the Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart, his eyes releasing an irreverent glow as he waved his hands to cause the appearance of tens of thousands of Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart. When he looked at the fantastical loot around him, he recalled months ago how he was a normal human being, barely entering the Ranks of Hunters through awakening from the lowest skill book. As he recalled, his essence covered all of the Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart glimmering before him and his golden throne, his voice coming out lightly. "Devouring." THRUM! The authority of the Sin of Gluttony echoed out as all of the Shards of a Cosmic Primordial Heart disappeared. It was the instantaneous absorption that granted the essence of all of the Shards right away, Noah's Universal form turning absolutely dictatorial as billions of Splendiferous Universes bloomed! In a matter of seconds, the number of Universes jumped from 70 Billion to 100 Billion. The essence of the Shards was undaunted as it continued, going to all the normal Universes within Noah and changing them to Splendiferous ones as such a scene showed itself as Noah turning more multicolored every single second! In a short period of time… OOOM! His body fully turned into a stellar being made of multicolored light as 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes were established within his Origin. THUMP! The moment this occurred, a wave of light was released as the Parameters of Universal Filament were exceeded! From the mere cluster of Universes, a unique authority bloomed as they all came together- collapsing in on themselves in less than a millisecond as they then bloomed into interlinking Universes that began to form a barrier around themselves- a barrier that one would only find surrounding a Cosmos! WAAA! A genuine and singular Cosmos bloomed within Noah's Origin…and his Origin was also his body with the Universal Race. This new race that Noah obtained was unique as since its conception, the body of an existence of the Universal Race would take on the form of their Realm. His True Form at the Universal Filament Realm was that of billions of Universes. His True Form currently as his Origin was transformed and he entered the Cosmic Realm was… "A Cosmos…" RUMBLE! His Origin was a Cosmos. His body was his Origin. He…had become a genuine Cosmos! WAA! His body was shining with an intense luster, looking indestructible and pure as he achieved a Realm of utter glory! Chapter 1398: COSMIC! IV A Cosmos! A new stage of profound power as for Noah…it was also the beginning as he stepped onto a path that would allow him to explore an infinite world filled with possibilities. His Universal Form brimmed with the light of a full 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes as along with his aura as a higher existence, he looked like an iridescent archaic creature at this moment in time as a shocking glow pulsed from him constantly! The same Realm as the Champion of Reality and the Ender of Reality…he had easily achieved. The same Cosmic Realm that Primordials achieved in less than 3 years after their birth due to their status of being born as Higher Existence…Noah achieved it in an even less period of time! He might soon be greeting his 27th birthday, but from the time he achieved his title as an F Rank Hunter until now- approximately a bit less than a year had passed! From playing around with Mephitic Turtles and summoning Virulent Abominations and Volcanic Eruptions in his home world to playing around in Atlantis and the Demon World…all the way to Celestials of the Novus Galaxy and the factions of his Dark Universe, then onto the Primordial Cosmos with the scheming Chronos and Hegemony of Slaughter…he had passed all of them as he only did it in this period of a single year. His mind brightened up at this reality as when it came to the sacred bloodline of Primordials and their perks of being Higher Existences the day they were born- he still matched them if not exceeded them in his speed of Realm Progression! Could a Primordial even compare?! WAA! His thoughts churned wildly as he calmed down the raging power coursing within his body, sensing his elevation in power as he asked calmly while activating the essence of Commandment. "What is my current Ascendancy Value?" BZZT! The Flames of Commandment rose as Noah demanded an answer from the <Vault of Commandment>! <<Noah Osmont's Ascendancy Value after achieving the Cosmic Realm has been elevated from.75 to 1. You are currently considered a full-fledged Higher Existence.>> A full-fledged Higher Existence with the Ascendancy Value of 1! Aegon…merely had a value of.70 as Noah was a stage above this being that believed himself to be the strongest within his Reality- the being that considered himself to be invincible due to his system! "Haha, good!" Noah bellowed out vibrantly atop his golden throne in the Cosmic Holy Land as back in the isolated Dimension in the Primordial Sea, his True Sanguine Clone began releasing the calming waves of an existence that had achieved the Cosmic Realm. Behind him, space opened up as a gateway formed once more, the bright eyes of Hyperion peeking through and gazing towards Noah with a trace of shock as this Ender of Reality had seen everything that occurred with the isolated Dimension! As the one who established it with the flames of his Edict, he could naturally feel what went on within it as the palpating sensation of the descent of the Domain of Apocalypse caused this Ender of Reality to turn utterly grim. That was the power of a Quasi-Insuperable Edict?! Many thoughts coursed through Hyperion's mind as the major one was how he could defend against this type of essence, his bright eyes dimming brightly as many of the paths he thought of led to him burning his Bloodlines and Origin to be capable of even withstanding it- and this was him being honest with himself! Such an existence had actually risen under his watch and through his help as after he wiped out hundreds of Primordial Beasts, he stepped out of the Isolated Dimension and nodded towards Hyperion calmly. "The Cosmic Realm doesn't feel too bad." His words caused Hyperion to look at him mutely as the eyes of the Ender of Reality shone with a sharp light, Noah giving a light laugh as he voiced out. "Alright, where do we stand?" At this moment in time, how were the preparations! How was everything proceeding, and what should they be doing next? All of these were questions that needed answers as Hyperion stared at Noah a few seconds longer before he spoke out. "The both of us collectively have reached the number of Edicts required to forge an Ascendancy Halo needed to inscribe a Primordial Epitaph, the question is whether a Halo can even be forged by fusing Edicts of two beings!" The difficult part of their plan was always this as towards such an issue, Noah only nodded with a light smile as Hyperion continued. "Then, there is the problem of me still needing to achieve the stage of a Higher Existence, with a third of my Blood still needing to become True Blood before such a thing was possible." These words caused Noah to raise his brows as he waved his hands and spoke out nonchalantly. "That isn't a problem. I already told you that I can help you achieve your 100% conversion of true blood…the only issue being whether you trust me to do so!" WAA! Once more, an issue of trust between two different existences! The conversion of True Blood was something done at the depths of one's Origin as for another being to induce the formation of True Blood in another…they had to hold the life of the being in question within their very hands as it was a level of trust of life and death. Noah and Hyperion…they could not say they knew each other for millions of years as they built trust in each other to the point that they would put one's life in the other's hands. But…they did have their Daos and Edicts along with their vibrant seas of destiny and fortune. Even if they didn't trust each other at the level of leaving one's life in the other's hands, they were still contractually bound by the Flames of a GREATER Edict. "My Nomological Edict of Moirai has never failed me before, and it will not fail me now." THRUM! Hyperion's archaic voice echoed out as his elephantine limbs folded in space, this being coming to sit in a meditative position as his tusks and trunk glimmered in the white space. Belief in the concepts of Edicts that each of them had forged. This was the reason for the shocking actions that were about to occur. "I have sought freedom since the day I was born, and I have trusted my destiny to get me where I am now." WAA! "As hard as it is to accept, if you are part of the answer- I will swallow the pride as the Ender of this Reality and openly grant you access to do what you need to do!" !!! The elephantine hands of the Ender of Reality opened as his chest was laid bare. At the very center, one could see a vibrant Origin that was a Cosmos shining brilliantly! The defenses of multiple Edicts that constantly surrounded it died down as it was laid utterly bare. With the chance of betrayal and death, the Ender of Reality actually trusted his destiny and Edicts so much that he put his life on the line before an anomalous existence that was smiling devilishly, his right hand becoming dyed a radiant golden color as he reached out towards the Ender of Reality!
