The first skill had Noah excited just from its name alone, and it didn't disappoint in the slightest as it even went forward to exceed every thought he had!
"Hah..."
A simply defined ability! Yet...it was a terrifying one as it brought everything to a stop.
Noah couldn't gaze at anything else apart from this ability, finding himself focused on it entirely as within his Origin, the vast seas of destiny and fortune that permeated his Origin began to churn.
"Let's...give it a try hm?" With eyes shining with expectations at such a ridiculous sounding skill, Noah couldn't wait to see it in action as he consciously wielded the destiny and fortune within him to activate this skill!
SHIING!
A uniquely resonant sound rung out as the golden color bloomed before Noah's eyes, this time being particularly lustrous as it formed into the shape of a book before Noah's eyes. The book looked ancient and was filled with Runic magic sigils, looking like something out of the wildest fantasy as it remained closed.
It was closed as for it to open, Noah had to make his intention clear on whether he was focusing on a past event, a current one, or a future one...and what the focus of it would be!
Each of the options had different amounts of essence required for activation, with destiny and fortune being required in greater amounts for current and future events as the past events could be viewed with very little cost.
At such a junction, Noah went towards discovering this wondrous new skill slowly as he made a selection- and it was an event from the recent past!
THRUM!
Destiny and fortune churned as it flooded into the golden book, this ancient looking thing opening in the middle as it showed even brighter golden pages, and Noah was on the top left side of the first page, brilliant white words began to etch themselves.
It was words showing a recent past, and he was the Reader overseeing how it played out!
With shock, Noah began to read what he saw being etched on the pages of the golden book.
<<...His gaze on the figure of the being mimicking Aegon remained, but his third eye released a frightening light seconds after the clones of this existence began to search for a way into the Primordial Sea that he would never find again.
His third eye was releasing a shining light as it wasn't releasing any attack, but it was instead establishing a connection. A connection to an extremely far away place…a place that wasn't even within this Reality!...>>
…!
Yes! Noah had thought of the point in time when he and the Primordial Cosmic Beast began their stand off, his focus actually chosen to be the Beast itself as he was shockingly able to read events from its perspective as if it was a story!
As if he was a Reader.
This was
As if the events around him were being written into a story...he could pierce into the myriad of events and beings as he could see and experience what they were going through.
It was a shocking ability as it allowed him to finally gain some information on the Cosmic Primordial Beast.
Hyperion!
The Ender of Reality, Hyperion!
As Noah continued to read the white words etched on the golden pages, he saw this name appear as shockingly, this Beast had formed a connection to contact another existence not even from this Reality!
The more that Noah read from the words being written, the more shocked he became as he learned more about the Ender of Reality, but his expression quickly changed when he finally noticed something in his Origin.
His newly gained seas of destiny and fortune had nearly been reduced by one tenth out of nowhere, his eyes shining sharply as he stopped the activation of
Seeing events of the past was the cheapest, but this was also dependent on the subject at hand! Viewing the viewpoint of someone as terrifying as Hyperion had rapidly eaten up more than one tenth of Noah's vast reserves of destiny and essence in mere seconds.
Precious essence that he didn't have endless amounts of like mana, but it could regenerate at a snail's pace as when he observed its rate of return...it would take him ten days just for this one tenth that was used up in seconds to be fully regenerated.
A wondrous skill, but it had a high cost that was determined even more so by what Noah focused on!
The white words of the golden pages stopped appearing as the last thing that Noah read caused his Primordial Eye and Eye of Ruination to release white and crimson rays of light.
<<...The ancient voice on the other side went quiet after this. It seemed to be mulling something over as only after a few seconds did it reply.
"Remember...the goal is not to kill the Champion of your Reality….>>
Noah's eyes were shiningly sharply as he had been able to peer into the secrets he should have not known in any way before this with a single activation of this skill. But even before knowing about a huge possible plot and upheaval in the coming future, there was something written in the white words that he could still read even now.
Something that Hyperion asked for from the mysterious existence mentioned!
"A Primordial Relic...huh?" Noah said these words with awe as he could only imagine what such a thing even entailed.
A single cast of
The Ender of Reality was not alone. And it was very much a terrifying existence as its goal was not even Aegon.
It was the terrifying veiled woman- the Primordial that had raised Aegon as the Champion of Reality!
"..."
Noah absorbed this information hungrily as he still stared at
"Show me of what is to come…"
THRUM!
Golden essence bloomed as the pages on the glimmering book flipped.
A new set of white words began to appear as Noah read on with shining eyes!
<<...Springforge's expression was utterly devoid of emotion as she saw the results of the two recent battles from the Cosmic Battlefield.
100 Cosmos. Havenbreaker had actually taken such a number from her as each of the leading Daolords in the matches carried with them multiple defensive and offensive Quasi-Cosmic Treasures!...>>
The consumption of destiny and fortune was low and steady.
Fantastically, Noah had unlocked something ridiculous as the information that could open itself up before him was purely astounding, and it made the future to play out even more tumultuous!
