1434 A Single Step Ushers in a New Era! I

Noah gazed at the golden prompts flowing down before his face as they included dozens of Daos, 8 Nomological Edicts, and the Bloodlines of 5 of these Edicts among many other things!

His focus landed on the Shards of Reality as he summoned one with his hands, seeing a small glimmering star-like crystal appear as it held within it the multicolored Essence of Reality.

<Absolute Looter> truly took everything from the defeated enemy, with Noah gaining the reserves of Essence of Reality from Aegon as even with the amount he obtained, he could not yet even begin to forge his own Primordial Epitaph.

With the death of the Champion of Reality, it was a significant milestone as Noah felt the Minor Nomological Edict of Kismet and the Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor react vibrantly, his fortune and destiny rising in waves as he obtained everything the Champion held!

It was of great significance as he felt like it was the closing of a certain chapter, and he truly treated it like so as the being who could utilize <Reader's Viewpoint> and <Premium Reader>!

Now, he had to finish his preparations and put together his power to face the two enemies lying in wait outside his Reality- enemies that would open up the pathway to unfolding and unknown lands filled with adventure.

"Let's use up the rest of the Shards of a Seed of Reality shall we?"

Within the undisturbed domain, Noah waved his hands to cause the appearance of 4 Shards and a fifth one that was barely complete- this fifth one being the reward he received from Aegon.

BZZZT!

A will of darkness spread from him thereafter as the glimmering pieces of Reality were devoured entirely, his Origin once more turning into a battlefield as it raced to produce an additional 4.7 Million Cosmos!

And Noah wasn't done as he commanded other Loot to appear from his Expansive Space, his surroundings becoming filled with glimmering circular crystals that brimmed with swirling golden blood as these were the Existential Pearls.

Without delay, he devoured these as well as boundless golden True Blood surged within his body, golden flames even appearing as the vast blood within his body was being refined into something even purer!

Waves of gold and sounds of thunder and lightning echoed out as it seemed like something was being forged in his body.

His body emanated immense waves of heat as it seemed like a furnace was producing a fantastical Treasure, his organs, musculature, and bones made of stellar cosmos breaking down at a cellular level as they were constantly reforged to be even more powerful the more his True Blood was refined and the more Cosmos that he forged!

His base strength was constantly elevated as his ridiculous percentages in the billions expounded them ever higher, his Ascendancy Value rising as he shockingly approached a level Cecilia was working hard towards.

He was racing towards the Second Firmament of Ascendancy just days after entering the First!

As his true body forged itself, one of his True Sanguine Clones was accompanying Adelaide in another area of this vast unique space.

He had brought out an <Existential Pearl> that could entirely change the blood of an existence into True Blood and elevate them to the level of a Higher Existence, Adelaide looking towards him with love as she spoke lightly.

"It shouldn't be too much longer now."

She was holding on to her protruding belly as she spoke, Noah nodding towards her with a light smile as he replied while motioning to the Pearl in his hands!

"This should be the final ingredient. When you are ready, start absorbing it as the time you enter the stage of a Higher Existence and become reforged on a structural level…it should also be the time for the little guy to come out."

…!

As the Dictum Emperor and holder of the Edict of Kismet, Noah at least knew this much as he waited with great expectation for what was to come, many things around his life advancing in grand directions as he waited patiently for it all!

"Un." Adelaide smiled while receiving the Existential Pearl, this fantastical scene of a shocking existence still developing within her body only being seen by her and Noah golden clouds of essence covered them while they continued to wait.

—

Outside of the bounds of Noah's Reality. 

A Winged Tiger with 10 pairs of terrifying wings that shone with auroras of blue and purple could be seen, the entire body of the Winged Tiger shimmering with the same color of lustrous fur as this existence currently had its universal sized eyed staring closely towards a certain Reality.

With vibrant Cosmic Filament Cores within his body, this was the Tyrant Beast Pyxis!

There was another being close to him, this one just as powerful if not more as his Bloodline released a venomous black cloud passively that could melt apart any common Cosmic Realm existences and even poison weak Cosmic Filament Rank existences- with an endlessly long slithering body with obsidian scales and six crimson eyes at its draconic head.

The venomous cloud around its body was melting apart the nearby void of space as it spoke of its terror, the eyes of this existence blinking with a dangerous light as his archaic voice echoed out.

"Must you be so on guard? An injured Primordial up against two beings at the peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy…even in the Primordial Battlefields, you weren't this careful!"

The voice was filled with malice and power as the might within it was palpable, the figure of Pyxis not even turning around as his focus solidified even further while he replied.

"Yacucoatl…I invited you for this due to your unique strength as a Royal Blight Serpent Dragon. We've lived for too long to grow arrogant over our power and not be careful. Against any enemy, we must strike with full force and strike to kill!"

RUMBLE!

A voice filled with age and power stemmed out from Pyxis as he continued!

"We take her down and attribute her death within the Reality she just left onto the poor Ender or Champion, we take our gains…and we quickly move on. Use your ultimate abilities right away if need be…as we cannot play around with Primordials!"

…!

Silence reigned before a snort could be heard, but it seemed an agreement was reached as the aura leaking from the Blight Serpent became even more oppressive, the dark clouds around its hidden body becoming tinged a dangerous green as even the boundaries between realities began to shake!

They were waiting for something...and something was coming for them as it was bound to be a wondrous meeting that would spark mayhem across Realities!
