Chapter 687 - The Doctrine of Death!

Noah breathed calmly as he tried to keep his breath under control, his shining eyes being the only thing revealing his true thoughts as he slowly nodded.

"Protecting the Imperial Princess is something that I will always do, and the Nexus Galaxy is my home!"

These words were said with conviction as they reached Anastasia, her gorgeous face shining brighter as she replied.

"Good. The only problem is that learning such a thing required talent, and many beings on the fringes of the Dark Universe do not have it. Nor do they have the resources of Ancient Organizations to help them, so they forever remain weak!"

She moved away from Noah as she went back to the surprised Anna, strong her hair tenderly as she continued.

"Alexei summoning my Aurora Galaxy Dragon might have already alerted those searching for me of my location, so we might either have a few weeks or a few months, maybe even years if the signal wasn't picked up. But during that time, I want to see if I can create some protectors for you all."

The words were filled with love and sadness, causing the Imperial Princess to bite her lip as she spoke to her mother!

"Can we not just come with you?! I...I…" Tears actually welled up in the girl's eyes as she spoke, the tender look on her mother becoming grave at these words.

"No. They cannot even know you are my daughter, nor that I took a man in this small Galaxy. They will kill you all without batting an eye!"

RUMBLE!

Appalling words were said as she turned serious, the Imperial Adjudicator and Anna turning ashen as it seemed they still did not understand her identity.

"Why...why…?!" Anna was irreconcilable as she persisted.

"I ran away because someone I did not want, wanted me. The rage of that Ancient Power is not something you can even imagine, nor what mindset they stand on."

Her expression seemed to be recalling something disgusting as she talked!

"They stand above all others as they look down in contempt, as they think themselves the true inheritors of everything in this Dark Universe. Only other Ancient Powers stand equal to them, everything else being mere ants in their eyes."

"To them, it would not be an issue to step on the ants that they would consider to have sullied something of theirs, they would not even blink before wiping everything here away!"

RUMBLE!

Ashen expressions were the only thing that came with these words as they got a better idea, their heads buzzing as they repeated the word in their minds.

Ants!

They would be seen as mere ants before Ancient Powers, even with the Realms they had achieved! Even with all the hard work and progress they had made in laws or Traits, it was still considered nothing in their eyes!

"But while I may not be able to stay with you all, I could at least ensure your safety. I did that first by giving Alexei my weakest Animus Pet and imparting some techniques, forming a contract with his soul momentarily for it to aid him in the most dire situations."

…!

Yes! She had given the Imperial Adjudicator the Aurora Galaxy Dragon that she even said was her weakest Animus Summon.

She did this because the weakest one should have released the weakest signal if ever it was used, and it was also the reason why she had not given any more of her Animus Pets nor summoned them over the years.

"If I could enlighten some geniuses though, there might be a chance. So, Alexander, I've heard of your amazing feats and power, but I haven't seen it first hand. Can you show me your genius? Just as a formality, but I would like to be sure of your talent before handing down something so immense!"

Anastasia turned her face away from Alexei and Anna as she focused on Noah again.

During all this time that shocking information was easily released, Noah was the only one not scared or feeling immense pressure.

All he felt was excitement and wonder as the many new things were brought into the picture, and he wanted to jump towards them headfirst as he absorbed everything he could like a sponge.

He thought of the words of this woman with a fearsome identity as an idea popped in his mind right away.

"I have just picked up the techniques of traversing the Ultimate Law of Death from the Imperial Library. I can cultivate the law for the first time in front of you as you see my comprehension!"

"Hoh?" An interested light erupted from Anastasia as she nodded.

"I cannot sense any concepts of death within you, good. Let's see what you have."

Anastasia pointed for Anna and Alexei to sit in the paradisiacal garden as they stared at Noah, the eyes of these beings watching him as he felt not an ounce of fear!

His eyes looked at his stat panel that showed the recent techniques he received from the Imperial Library.

[The Doctrine of Death] :: Across the eons of time and space, there are few true wonders permeating throughout. The Doctrine of Death completes the Doctrine of Life, where the being that comprehends and assimilates both will have a possibility of finding an even greater path of strength.

The technique to cultivate the Ultimate Law of Death was given to him, and he sat down peacefully in the calm garden that was filled with important beings as he began to cultivate!

RUMBLE!

Anna had already seen scenting like this as she was there when he first cultivated the Law of Life, but her eyes still focused on him as she saw the color of immense darkness erupt out of him the moment he sat on the ground.

OOOM

The aura of an Ultimate Law permeated out, this one being particularly cold and merciless as it smelled of the potent aura of death!

Within Noah's origin when an illusory Primeval tree that represented the Law of Life was blooming, a seed began to sprout below this grand tree.

The seed was black in color and shone with even greater darkness, essence pouring into it as it erupted!
