1738 Something From an Unknown Age! ll
<You don't know how much you lost by being so weak and causing me to make those moves myself before I latched onto an Authority!>
"..."
Noah had no words at this as his luminous eyes stared thoughtfully and with great restraint at this wondrous treasure still glimmering brightly before his eyes.
"So…" Noah tapped his throne with a thoughtful expression while continuing with a steady voice.
"...you are heavily restricted and doing anything on your own will require a heavy cost?"
<...>
The shining gems of this treasure before his eyes seemed to be gazing at him calmly before they replied.
<I am bound by Karma and Destiny in ways you cannot fathom, and to break these shackles, I can only rely on the aid of another. The person that is bound to me is extremely crucial as a weak creature that will never amount to anything would mean that I will eventually fade to obscurity, but someone with a…somewhat decent destiny like you should work.>
"Decent destiny?" Noah's voice was sharp as he raised his head. He knew his worth more than anyone else as he very well understood his actions and the goals he had for the future!
He had set the beings who boasted immense authority and power over the vast Realities as his enemies, with his path bound to be something bright as he wouldn't just be another minor character that would be forgotten in the endless river of time.
With the restrictions this treasure had as the very fundamental weaving of Destiny that Noah was proficient in and other concepts like Karma, Fate, and Destiny working against them…wasn't Noah the best possible existence they could bind themselves to!?
<Hmph, you seem to be a very egotistical guy, so don't get lost in your thoughts. Yes, your Destiny is unique…but don't think you are a better option than the existences that LEGENDS of Ancient Bloodlines, Dimensional Bloodlines, or even the Primordial Bloodlines answer to. It is just the weaving of destiny that has brought us here.>
WAA!
Noah's eyes released luminous rays of light as a smile couldn't help but form on his face. Out of all the things this treasure said, the main takeaway was the fact that the comparators Noah was placed next to were the beings that LEGENDS answered to!
So he chose not to bicker with this treasure as he only smiled and allowed it to continue as it got to the crux of the weaving of destiny that brought them here.
<I need an inordinate amount of resources to get back to even a semblance of what I was, with me being bound and not able to move freely unless under someone else's authority. It shall be a game of give and take with me and you…where we shall incur karma between us as you grant me treasures, or in your own terms…let's say Loot.>
WAA!
"Loot?" Noah's eyes raised at this as he thought about the mountains of glittering loot in his Expansive Space, his will going into it to make sure his vast collections were still there as he had also placed this terrifying treasure within this space!
<Hmph, why is your will so agitated? Did you think I would lose my mind over the few things you have in your storage? They can barely grant a Use or two as it is. And yes, all Loot- I can devour it in exchange for Uses. It shall be an interplay of Karma, Fate, Destiny, and Fortune as the more you gain, the more I shall receive…and the more you shall receive from me.>
The words of the terrifying treasure seemed to resonate with Noah's soul as he had a foreboding sensation, his heart aching slightly when he thought about all his Loot that seemed to be in great danger of disappearing soon!
'Ah…but you must give to receive!'
His will lamented at the talk of balance and Karma as the voice of the unnatural treasure continued.
<Your Destiny is far vaster compared to those beings as even though the loot you can provide me now is abysmal in quality, it will be much better when you start elevating yourself further. You even have interesting things like this Infinite Reality and…oh, what's this about your Mana?>
"Don't…" Noah's thoughts receded as everything about himself was contained, but this ancient treasure was too terrifying as it seemed to be capable of finding out everything!
<Wow, now that's interesting! Okay, I can definitely work with this. Well, Noah Osmont, the oh-so-great Tyrannical Emperor, the Unnamed Kainos Emperor…!> The voice seemed to carry hints of amusement and playfulness as it continued listing Noah's titles freely.
<...the 9th Infernal Lord!...are you ready to play with the bounds of Karma and Destiny with me?>
OOOM!
Even though the voice carried hints of amusement, everything became utterly serious as Noah breathed out while his will pulsed with luster.
Destiny had long since begun to swirl around this location as it seemed an event of paramount significance was taking place, wisps of liquid light flowing between man and a glimmering lavalliere that shone with rainbow colored light.
Noah gazed at this treasure as he voiced out slowly.
"What shall I call you?"
The unknown treasure before his eyes. It called itself THE Dream Inversion Bauble and then stipulated that it was much more, and as the bindings between them were about to be solidified, Noah asked!
<Mmm how about Master? Or Great Master? Or going by the titles you have, how about something like the Tyrannical Great Absolute Dream Master? Hmm?>
"..."
The mesmerizing voice was not serious at all as Noah only gazed at it with his eyes raised, with the glimmering treasure releasing pulses of light as it seemed to be laughing before it continued.
<Your thoughts seem to have already been referring to me a certain way. Lavalliere, was it? It has a direct meaning to my form now, so you can refer to me as such. Lavalliere.>
OOOM!
The seas of liquified destiny seethed as this glimmering necklace that was already before Noah's eyes floated even closer to him, unceasing itself naturally as it actually went on to calmly wrap itself around Noah's neck!
Noah's soul pulled with light as even though he could see this treasure and all of its movements, his body didn't even feel like something was around his neck as soon after, the hexagonal prism gems of Lavalliere seamlessly sank into his skin as around his neck…an incandescent vibrant cerulean tattoo that looked to match the many Runic Kainos Mana Lines of Ascendancy appeared.
A tremendous treasure…and also a terrifying object as it seemed to very easily be capable of peering into someone's thoughts.
<You won't have to worry about me. My aims are far above these barren lands we are in as I also need your success to get where I need. So bring me lots of Loot and let's dance around the bounds of Karma and Destiny…Noah Osmont!>
WAA!
