Enthroned with a verdant crown that constantly released a vibrant light and a translucent green armor, Noah's body looked like a Primal existence from ancient times!
He felt his very cells scream in joy as the immense life force and essence traveled through his origin and soul, being felt by his other bodies as well as the Primordial Ruination Clone that was floating with a smile before Halcyon and Springforge.
A green light flashed in his eyes silently as he gained permanent boosts of 95% negation of All Damage, 50% blocking of True Annihilatory Damage, +100,000,000% to all forms of Regeneration! From henceforth, the wondrous ability of
The two curvaceous women before Noah's eyes had no idea of what had just occurred.
The Family Head of the House of Springforge stared towards Noah with careful eyes, this being not knowing that Noah had just copied her Edict and even turned one of its terrific active abilities into a passive one!
Her regality fully returned as even with Halcyon beside her, her mere demeanor made one's eyes focus on her.
"You challenge Stormdust and all the Cosmos under him…for what? Let's say you defeat him, then what? Will Aegon allow you to simply become one of the three most influential beings in his Empire? Will he allow you to replace the friend he grew up with? The being that he treats as his own brother?"
…!
A barrage of questions left Springforge's pink mouth as Noah's eyes couldn't help but smile at such questions.
There was already a clear path of what he had to do, and he had seen it all with Path to Victory as
"Are you talking about the friend who is playing around with the woman of his best friend? That same Stormdust? If it is, then I think I'll be okay."
…! Têxt belongs to .
BZZT!
His words caused Springforge and even Halcyon's eyes to shake as they looked at him in a stupor, Noah knowing that even Halcyon didn't see everything as when it came to something like this, even she wasn't privy to it!
After all, it was a secret of two beings moving in the dark against even the Great Conqueror himself- right under his nose as they were under the aid of a terrifying force that could more than rival him.
"Bold of you to say such scandalous things- I would warn against mentioning such a thing to anyone else, even if it were true! You do not want to be there when the wrath of Aegon erupts if such a thing truly has occurred…"
Springforge spoke out slowly as her shock turned to pondering and eventually lit up as if she had connected missing pieces! As if she connected knowledge from long ago!
"But this...really…" The idea was still shocking though as even Halcyon looked towards Noah to affirm what he said was true, knowing he wasn't one to make up lies.
'Are they really? My own Mother and…' Her thoughts ran wild as it was Springforge that was able to continue keeping herself objective, her voice ringing out thereafter as she shook her head.
"Even still. What of Aegon? Little Halcyon has told me that he is the true Enemy of Reality, however unbelievable that is. But what will you do against him with your mere Universal Filament Realm when he has achieved the Cosmic Realm?"
…!
"What will you do against an unstoppable force that nears the strength of the concept of a Cosmic Beast, or even possibly already at this level?"
Cold but logical words rang out as the enemy ahead was simply too powerful!
"That's why I came here." Noah smiled lightly as the essence of Kismet wrapped around him again, his figure floating towards Springforge mesmerizingly.
He knew Aegon was blessed with many things, whatever unique power or System this being was given most likely being terrifying as it didn't even take into account all the other aspects of strength of this creature.
"I came for information from you on Aegon and his history...how you all began, and anything that happened with the Primordial!"
WAA!
Noah revealed his aims as the eyes of Springforge turned sharp. She felt the overwhelming essence of an Edict from this being shining out with splendor as she could barely turn her eyes away while his words repeated in her mind.
Information! This was crucial to Noah for knowing how to navigate what was to come, and he knew it required the woman before him to do something she didn't want to do.
To spill the secrets of her closest friend towards a being she just met- all under the words of her little niece!
Yet…
"Sigh…" Springforge found herself breathing out heavily as she pushed down the repulsive feeling, knowing many things were at stake as she couldn't hold back any longer.
THRUM!
She waved her hands as their surroundings shifted, the verdant essence around them forming into illusory figures of four beings that rotated around each other.
"It was always me, Aegon, Havenbreaker, and Stormdust on the beginning…"
"We came from the same Cosmos, rising up in strength as we explored all of its Universes while helping the weak and pulling down tyrants."
Her eyes seemed to be reminiscing of a long time gone as the illusory figures of four existences could be seen sitting around a blazing sun as they treated it like a campfire to barbecue.
Two of these figures were sitting close to each other as shockingly...it wasn't Aegon and Havenbreaker- but Stormdust and Havenbreaker!
"Yes. Before a certain event, the one you know as Stormdust and Havenbreaker...they were Tritus and Elera! The two of them were as close as anything could be as the one with the strongest power among us was not Aegon...but Stormdust."
WAA!
"He led us through our battles before we even became Antiquities. He was the leader of the party that even I looked up to! But...all of this changed when a certain Primordial appeared."
The illusory figures of 4 beings were shown to raise their heads high, seeing the appearance of a stellar veiled being shining in white as she descended down.
"She appeared before us with all her glory as she proclaimed one of us had the qualifications to become a grand Champion to protect our Reality. That was the day when everything changed!"
