At this moment, Noah's main body was floating in the Ruination Realm as his figure let out an aura of majesty. His top was bare as his fair skin glistened like crystalline jade, his eight packs looking sculpted to the point of them being fake as he only had thin black pants that billowed in the winds of the Ruination Realm.
On his chest, one could see the illusory manifestation of a Universal Filament, but it didn't just have 30 something Universes as currently…over 100 Splendiferous Universes could be seen!
Each of them having been forged with over 100 Billion Dao Galaxies from the essence of the pulsing Primordial Heart before Noah as it had shrunk by a few hundred miles. There was still a vast amount of it left as it was akin to a world, Noah expecting to produce hundreds of Splendiferous Universes from this treasure when he devoured all of it, and this still didn't put into account the second one that he had duplicated through his Cosmic Treasure.
"But now…"
He uttered under his breath as he stopped absorbing the essence of the Primordial Heart briefly, looking at the Splendiferous Universes within him as he wanted to further elevate his power after he came in contact with Daolord Azazel, if just a little.
Even though he knew with the boosts of the Nomological Edict of Samsara, he could take on a being with a level of power like him- he still wanted to be able to dominate in the battles he fought, not just be capable of matching others in power!
So he turned towards his fully assimilated Lesser Daos as the light of Conquest began to shine brightly, the star above him glimmering in the light as he spoke out.
"Let the light of Conquest shine on the Daos of Alacrity and Void-Space."
Just two Lesser Daos, ones that would be enhanced from their 5,000% boost to 10,000% after their enhancement with the Cosmic Dao of Conquest! Noah could only afford to spare Lesser Daos like these as he didn't plan to touch any other Grand or Cosmis Daos until he found a solution on the issue of Nomological Edicts and Runic Dao Lines.
Noah adopted a serious expression as he began to burn two Splendiferous Universes, the assimilated essence of Ruination coursing through his body as it began to burn the 2 Daos and deconstruct them while using the burning essence of the universes as fuel.
This was the price of power! The price that Noah wanted to overcome as after these daos were deconstructed, he didn't have their comprehensions nor could he comprehend them again! It was a barrier he wanted to overcome so that he could have a vast array of Daos to work with when he tried to fuse them to possibly create an Edict!
This was also the reason why he was taking the deconstruction and reconstruction of Daos slowly, waiting for a solution to this issue. There were already a few possibilities that Noah was looking at, with the design of a new Cosmic Dao being a solution…or the possibility of a third Trait!
A Cosmic Dao or a third Trait aside from Infinite Mana and the Protagonist might show him the way…this was what his vast destiny and fortune told him!
But he currently watched as the two daos were broken down into primordial Runic Dao Lines, the Primordial Essence weaving in as it put them together expertly and caused the lines to shine with a glorious allure.
They then snaked into Noah's body as the Runic Dao Tattoos on his right arm began to swirl like snakes, the new Runic Dao Lines weaving across them as they began to populate across Noah's shoulder and cover his right chest!
They magisterially went over his right side as they began to brand themselves further down, wrapping across his right thigh and stopping at his knee. Now, the right side of his body was covered with primal looking ancient tattoos almost completely, giving him a wild look as they pulsed with power.
When he activated them, he saw the space around him breaking and tearing apart as he smiled lightly, stopping his supply of essence as the area around him calmed down. He breathed out slowly at this shocking sense of power as he then turned towards the glimmering Primordial Heart before him, his right hand raising as he struck down and released blades of light that went on to cut a few miles of the heart before him into multiple sections!
The cut up sections vibrated gloriously before they formed into their own hearts of varying sizes, Noah calling them to him as he released more sharp lights to cut off sections of the enormous Primordial Heart and form smaller ones. He couldn't just advance in power alone, and there was an entire Cosmos before him with existences he could elevate to become powerful Antiquities!
—
Lexis Marcus Tiberius.
This was the name her mother had given her, and the name that she wanted to ring out across the Cosmos!
She had grand ambitions, but she was limited with her meager talent to cultivate, only being able to achieve where she was at right now by putting in twice the work others had to put in…and by relying on the help from her father.
By ruling over the Universes of the Indigo Cosmos under her father, she had achieved Antiquity. Even though her brother was an unchangeable fool that her Father had only chosen to admit after hundreds of thousands of years, he was still the one that was in line to lead as she wasn't the first choice!
With the appearance of a Primordial Beast and the inevitable joining of their Cosmos to the Primordial Empire, even with her Father's strong protective feelings of his family…she half expected having to make the choice of joining the House of Springforge as a Concubine of their arrogant Antiquities or Daolords.
As a Ruler of the Indigo Cosmos and bearing the responsibility of ensuring the safety of all those within it, it was a sacrifice she was prepared to make! This was because the terror of Primordial Beasts was much more terrifying, so they had to instead face the challenges of the Primordial Empire.
But now…she saw a different path glimmering brightly before her, a path of possibility that lay in the appearance of the unique Daolord that had appeared quite literally from nowhere- and it was a being that could easily rebuff Primordial Beasts.
Her eyes lingered on his figure alone as she spoke about all the information they had gathered on the Primordial Empire through the Envoys that passed by over the years, ignoring the looks she was receiving from the dragoness Tiamat.
"Apart from the House of Springforge, the other two prominent forces in the Primordial Empire are-"
…!
Her words trailed off before she could finish as while gazing at Daolord Osmont's figure, she saw and felt a wild wave of power erupting from him as brand new Runic Dao Lines could be seen coalescing beneath his robe and covering the right side of his body, his expression smiling apologetically as they calmed down a second later and looked towards her while speaking lightly.
"You were talking of the forces within the Primordial Cosmos?"
….!
Nonchalantly! Magisterially! Daolord Osmont simply carried on with such an attitude as he added terrifying Runic Tattoos on his body!
