CHAPTER 416 - A WORLD CORE!
As terrifying calculations were carried out in Noah’s mind, his Ancient Blood Clone had finished his pill making session as he observed the swirling of different colored essence around the 10 Spiritual Land Beasts.
He spread his senses out as he monitored the continued strengthening of other beings on the wide Spiritual Land.
The numerous portals lying stably in the Underground area he was in pulsated with colorful lights as those given permission would occasionally enter the Spiritual Land while an individual like Steel Mikhail would enter and live freely as he moved to do his job on the blue planet and then returned to cultivate in the Spiritual Land.
After observing everything moving smoothly, the clone disappeared from the Time Space of the Spiritual Land as he let the Spiritual Land Beasts finish their breakthrough into the Soul Forging Realm, leaving behind numerous essence pulsating pills and cores for them to continue absorbing!
He performed a long distance teleportation this time as enormous amounts of mana was used, his body reappearing in the wide expanse of space not too far away from his homeworld.
The Ancient Blood Clone glanced at the small blue world that only he could currently see, the [World Veil] he had cast on this world and the other ones he was connected to long ago still active and hiding the world from any passing eyes.
The world in front of his eyes was already nearing the position of a Prime World as it continued the powerful feedback of essence from the many worlds it was connected to, especially the Ancient Blood World that was an entire Realm sometime in the past.
Yet this powerful and expansive world still seemed so small as he looked at it from an extremely far distance, his body continuing to move away from this blue planet as his target this time was not to check up on all the advancements that had happened so far, but to search for viable worlds he could pluck the cores of in the surrounding area!
This was something that even his own mind just a few months ago would never have been able to fathom.
The fact that someone like him could be traversing through space actually looking for a viable world to steal an entire world core and possibly destroy such a world was something extremely foreign to him, yet now about to become a reality.
His body moved across space as the [Child of Space] ability from the Lesser Cthulhu skill tree made him feel like he was in the most comfortable possible environment. His body was shooting through the vastness of space at a shocking speed, the tremendous boosts that he received from his many passive skills made it so that his speed and power was already nearing those at the Domain Expansion Realm!
He could only confidently say this when it came to those at the normal level of the Domain Expansion Realm, and this was not putting into account the Celestial Grandmasters themselves like Vredral.
He continued moving across the vastness of space as he wandered across the void looking for specific stars. The one that he was looking for was a small world that would not have any inhabitants, potentially a world that had a harsh environment that no organisms could survive in.
His heart was not fully set out to be a destroyer where he would without reservations take the core of a small world that was filled with life forms similar to his own homeworld just a few months ago, even with all the knowledge he currently held.
He did not travel far before he came upon a world filled with elemental storms and chaotic energies. It was neither a large nor a middle world, being a perfectly small world that was uninhabited by any other beings. The rough storms always raging on the surface of this world and in the skies above it making it an uninhabitable star in this wide area.
His eyes honed in on this world as he began shooting down towards it at a high speed. He felt a slight resistance as his level was so much higher than this world, but these protections were nearly nothing when it came to someone who wielded the immense energy coming from multiple stars.
He quickly pierced through the many layers that a small world would have for protection as he entered its atmosphere, and then continued shooting down towards its earth!
BOOM!
His body pierced through the layers of frozen Earth, this world holding unique qualities of destructive storms above it and frozen earth below it. Because of his extremely fast speed, he began nearing the inner core of this world in less than a few minutes.
SHAA!
He broke through the innermost layer where the core of the entire world laid as he glanced upon these slowly rotating ovular shape in front of him.
[...]
A period of silence followed as Noah looked upon this rotating core of this unknown small world, where he heard a cold static voice thereafter.
[What are you?]
The small world coldly asked this question in a manner and tone of voice that Noah was used to hearing throughout these past few months. He impassively focused on the core of this small world as he took in its words and replied calmly.
"I would apologize to you in advance. For this is something that I do have a choice on, and I am choosing to do it regardless of its consequences in order to further my own goals. It is even somewhat hypocritical."
His voice was that of conflict as he had made sure to look for a specific world, one that didn’t have any life on it, one where he would not be taking or reaping the lines of billions. But still, there was one entity that would have to be affected no matter what he did. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
This entity was the world itself.
He glanced upon the small world core that did not reply after it heard Noah’s words. It’s vast senses telling it that something inexplicable would be happening here today. Noah moved without any further forethought as he threw his hands out and placed them on the powerful core of this Small World as he uttered simple words.
[Devouring].
RUMBLE!
For the first time ever, in actuality and in totality, he had cast the skill from the Seven Deadly Sins, from the Sin of Gluttony- He had cast [Devouring] on an actual world!
OOONG!
A cloud of darkness went on to wrap around the rotating world core, it’s manner was that as if a beast had opened its jaws and was rapidly closing in on this resplendent core. Devouring was fully cast as the cloud of darkness had circled the entire core of the Small World in front of Noah, with essence beginning to leak out of the body of the clone nonsensically as the target of devouring was an actual world this time around, not just an enemy that was at the mythical or a legendary rank, but an entire core of a small world!
RUMBLE!
Essence leaked out of him with wild abandon as the entire surroundings of the small world were shaking. At this moment in time something that had rarely occurred in history was happening, where one existence that was on an entirely different tier from another was doing something unexplainable!
The process of essence continuing to leave his body recklessly went on for a few minutes before everything went silent and the darkness that was wrapping around the core of the small world rapidly began to reduce in size as Noah began to see cracks appearing on the layers of earth around them.
CRACK!
At the moment that the small world core fully disappeared and the devouring skill had successfully done its job and devoured an entire core of a small world, space shattered and began folding in on itself!
This destruction continued spreading throughout the area of the inner core that Noah was in, his figure teleporting out of the area as he began to see notifications of messages from the Planetary System Discerning the exact results of his actions.
He appeared in the space above the uninhabitable planet that was filled with even more destructive storms as he looked at the visible result of his actions.
CRACK! CRACK! BOOM!
In front of the already destructive world, cracks were visibly spreading all around the spherical planet, the instability of a world without a core being visible in front of Noah’s eyes as he went on to watch the destruction of something that he had caused with his own hands.
BOOM! BOOM!
Space shattered and refolded as the world had a force rapidly pulling itself in near the center of the missing core before it exploded outwards as a supernova!
Shards of the planet began to spread out far and wide as in front of Noah’s eyes, the storms gradually reduced and calmness slowly returned, the only thing left behind in front of him was palpitating destructive essence and floating debris over the wide area of space.
[A Small World Core has been obtained.]
[Error. Analyzing. Error.]
[...]
From the void of space, numerous Chaos Particles had begun appearing as they willingly fell upon Noah the chaos and destruction he had caused being rewarded as a few hundred Chaos Particles were added unto his already abundant amount. The Planetary System was also sending various messages as the results of devouring a Small World Core were slowly unfolding in front of his eyes!
