  [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite] :: A material that has collected an abundant amount of the essence of the law of water, granting it the unique title. Can be used to refine Supreme Treasures or in the creation of one in the Blacksmith's Forge of the Spiritual World.

  Noah's Ancient Blood Clone had actually come across a material of great value in his search for an inheritance, something that thrummed with the power of the Law of Water, a material that he could use to either refine the Trident of the Sea, or possibly create another Supreme Treasure!

  His eyes shone as he waved his hands towards this enormous [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite], watching it disappear from his eyes as his gaze turned towards the numerous other crystals that weren't nearly as bright as the one he had just pocketed.

  [Water Crystal] :: A crystal holding the essence of the Law of Water, can be used as a material to refine normal Items or further refined with the locked feature of the Spiritual World, [Alchemy Hall], into Soul Jades.

  The less bright crystal stalagmites were Water Crystals that were similar to the Fire Crystals he had obtained as materials before from his first Fire Behemoth, but he noticed the additional descriptive words added to the item as the Planetary System hinted to a feature he could not even use yet.

  "You are able to foresee the possible uses of the future features of the Spiritual World already?"

  He asked the Planetary System as a reply came a millisecond later.

  [The veils of secrecy for the natural order and existence of things is gradually becoming thinner as we gather more information and connect to more worlds, your elevation to an Infernal Lord granting us access to a profound bank of knowledge that allows for fairly accurate possibilities.]

  Noah's clone nodded as he was reminded of the information that would make many tremble to their cores, the powers of the beings standing atop this Novus Galaxy being so terrifying that nobody would ever think of matching themselves against them.

  When faced with beings that had established a Domain and then entered a realm where they could destroy worlds, and then they went even further ahead to forge an entire star at their core before they shattered this star to form a Nebula that could birth even more stars...many would simply run away!

  But Noah received this knowledge as it made his fear at first, yes! But he reminded himself of his own power, and just how rapid he could rise through the ranks compared to anyone else.

  An example was how in just a period of the past few weeks, he had gone from the Void Realm and into the Soul Forging Realm, and just now he had stepped into the Domain Expansion Realm!

  What speed!

  What genius!

  With such an overpowering power behind him and his own confidence for the future, he saw himself in no way lesser than the beings that already stood near the top.

  He shook himself out of his reverie as he glanced at the many Water Crystals around him, waving his hands as the wide expanse that was the size of a football field began to be emptied until the brightness was gradually gone. Every single shining crystal that had even the tiniest l.u.s.ter was taken into the Spiritual World as the place where a treasure trove had been laid barren, Noah's figure bringing out the Spiritual World thereafter as he used [Treasure Hunter] once more, another golden arrow appearing as he was led to another direction once more!

  He disappeared from the barren underground area as he teleported to the skies, having finally attained the Domain Expansion Realm that allowed one to fly freely in the Celestial Realm. But, he liked the feeling of flying on an enormous Draconic Fire Behemoth even more, so Draco reappeared in the skies with a shaking presence as Noah landed on its head, a slight smile on his face as he patted the enormous dragon that began leaving embers of flames as it began shooting through the skies!

  In another location, his main body was in an expensive lodging of the Celestials in the Sanctum, having returned from the far region where Chaos Behemoths were abundant in order to consolidate his realm and in preparation for the battles between Special Existences and beings similar to him who held noble fates, or so the commands from Grandmaster Vredral stated.

  His main body was planning on how to best move within the ranks of the Celestials to maintain the most benefits, especially this treasure known as Luminescent Rainbow Dew that even Grandmasters at the peak of the Domain Expansion Realm wished for. He was thinking of how to move while gaining all of these benefits, but he was also thinking of the overall results he wanted to obtain from this organization!

  His thoughts went towards Athena, another figure that would play a central role in the events to come as at this moment in time, he saw her as a viable scheme to play. He had already placed himself in the War Princess's life until her guard was completely down around him, and he recently obtained even more information that pertained to her from the Grandmaster Luo that he took down in the Magus World.

  The information was something that was only a bit of history, but it could be used to create an amazing opportunity for the future. So while his clone continued to move in search of treasures and the continuing cultivation of laws, Noah was currently scheming, and at the heart of the scheme was the valiant War Princess!

  In the expansive room he was in, Noah turned his head towards the door as he waved his hands to make the Dagger of Time that was slowly rotating in front of him disappear. The past few hours, he had been using the [Insight] feature of the Dagger to look at a few possibilities of how his plan could play out, and was confident in it somewhat as he heard a knock on his door soon after.

  He went over the plan a few times, changing what he was wearing as he also used [Unique Origin] and then walked towards the door and opening in as in front of him was the War Princess herself, her face holding a vibrant expression as Noah saw on her body, she was adorned by a unique golden robe that only signified one thing, and it was a type of status that very few Celestials held in the Light Expanse.

  "Senior Sister, they've already given you a title of Grandmaster?"

  Noah smiled as he spoke to the War Princess in front of him, a scheme that would be one of the deciders for a few major events in the future beginning to play out at this moment. He had not done anything these past weeks as he was around this Senior Sister, but he would be making his move today!

  Chapter 441 - Inducement, Behind a Waterfall!

  "Senior Sister, they've already given you a title of Grandmaster?"

  Noah's gaze was steady as the girl in front of the door looked to be slightly taken aback as she saw him because at this moment, he had made it so that when he opened the door, he was standing in front of her with a fresh towel wrapped around his waist, another white towel on his hands as he dried his hair damp as if he has just taken a shower.

  Athena looked at him as she shook her head with a smiling expression and replied.

  "I've long since passed 100,000 Fate Lines, it was long overdue. I wanted to come tease my little Junior Brother about how he was lagging behind and take you with me to spar, but you don't seem all that down."

  Noah smiled as he looked at where they were standing, having an expression of not wanting to be impolite as he invited Athena in.

  "Please, come in and have a seat. Tell me of the perks you have now that you can be called a Grandmaster."

  The expansive dwelling Noah was in could be considered an entire house, having a wide living room area and a few other separate rooms. Athena came in and sat at the exquisitely designed table as she replied.

  "Not that many perks and just more responsibilities. It's just a title that many Celestials have, even the Special Existences and other beings with Noble fates that we will be facing soon holding the same title as many of them have achieved more than 100,000 lines of fate. By the way...Junior Brother Crixus, are you just expecting me to ignore the fact that you only have a towel wrapped around you this entire time we've been talking? What exactly are you trying to pull off?"

  The eyes of the War Princess squin
ted carefully as she asked, Noah laughing as he waved his hands and changed to plain white clothing.

  "I thought I would catch Senior Sister off guard by showing her something she rarely sees, but you seem as impassive as ever."

  "Oh, did you expect me to jump on you the moment you took your shirt off?"

  Athena replied teasingly as she looked towards Noah, this not being the first time that the senior brother and sister were bantering, their time spent together the past few weeks being abundant.

  "Maybe not with my shirt, but what if I cook for you again?"

  Noah asked with a smile as he went towards the kitchen and waved his hands, taking out behemoth meat that was filled with essence while looking towards the senior sister that was now looking at him with shining eyes. His food had been the one thing that caused her to speedily open up to him, being something that she never tasted before! A conflicting look appeared on her face, but not for a long as her eyes quickly regained their normal valiant look.

  "Hmph, I came over here to ask you to go spar with me to celebrate my ascension to a Grandmaster, but it seems all you want to do is play around."

  Noah's eyes shone the moment he heard these words, the things he foresaw playing in the proper direction as he moved in right away.

  "What if we did play around, Senior Sister?"

  OOOM!

  Silently, essence moved as Noah activated a skill he had not utilized since he first received it, dipping his hands into one of the Seven Deadly Sins available to him- the Sin of L.u.s.t! He had never used this skill before, and even using it now on this War Princess wasn't something he would normally do, but he had to move things along as he set up the sequence of events to possibly control this being in the future.

  The skill he used at this moment was the last listed ability under the Sin of L.u.s.t, it was [L.u.s.t Inducement]!

  [L.u.s.t Inducement] - The user can increase the l.u.s.t other beings feel. This will make it easier for the user to manipulate said being.

  Noah's eyes shone red as they glanced towards the War Princess that reflected a similar color briefly, her strict demeanor changing as she looked towards Noah and the behemoth meat ready to be cooked on the table. She seemed to think for a bit before she replied.

  "I'll only stay for the food. No funny business, little junior brother."

  At these words, Noah only smiled as he lit up a fire and began roasting the essence filled meat. If there was an analogy to describe what had just happened at this moment, it would be akin to a fish taking the bait, and now he was just reeling it in as on this day, he planned to initiate a scheme to bring this being with a Noble Fate under his heel.

  His gaze was looking forward to a distant future when he could manipulate her as he wished to deal a decisive blow or even multiple of them in the coming war!

  ---

  As his main body schemed in the Sanctum, Noah's clone was shattering the sound barrier atop Draco as they shot off in another direction that [Treasure Hunter] pointed him towards.

  The mystical Celestial Realm continued to reflect on his eyes as he went forward, passing numerous Behemoths below him and finding very little flying Behemoths, these being more common near the regions where Elite Behemoths resided.

  He even came across a particular Exploration Party from one of the Prime Worlds that looked to the skies in shock after hearing a booming sound, only finding embers of flames left behind.

  A few hours passed in this manner, the gaze of the clone continuing to watch the golden arrow that led him to an unknown location in the Celestial Realm, where it finally began to vibrate when they neared an area filled with raging rivers, as well as an enormous waterfall that smashed down to hard blue rocks.

  Draco slowed down and eventually came to a stop as the golden arrow from the Spiritual World pointed down towards the waterfall below them, the young dragon being sent away yet again as Noah began to shoot down towards this waterfall.

  He couldn't feel the presence of any beasts, the only sound he heard being the roaring waves of crashing water. The rapidly vibrating arrow led him right in front of the waterfall and pointed forward, his gaze remaining firm as he floated towards it and pierced the rapid waters.

  SHAAA!

  A crystal blue covered his eyes as he passed through the water, his senses observing there was actually a hidden location behind this waterfall!

  No beast of human was in sight as he passed through, coming into a blue glittering cavern that sn.a.k.e.d forward. The golden arrow from the Spiritual World continued to vibrate faster as he went further in, the hidden space opening up in front of his eyes until he came into a much wider clearing where a pool of extremely crystalline blue water peacefully laid. Near this mystical pool of water, an ancient pedestal that held a huge blue crystal could be seen.

  Noah smiled as his eyes landed on the pedestal, but in front of his gaze, it was shockingly two descriptions that came up, one from the essence-abundant pool of water, and the other from the pedestal!

  [Prismatic Aurora Spring Water]

 

  …!

  Chapter 442 - Plucking Treasures Left and Right

  When the hours were passing as his clone neared a particular waterfall where treasures laid within, Noah's main body had plucked another treasure in the Sanctum.

  In the dwelling that he was in, there was an expansive bed that would put even a memory foam mattresses to shame, his well-built body was covering the things below his waist as a senior sister that had lost her usual ponytail, her glimmering dark hair sprawled out in a rough manner as she rested her head on Noah's chest.

  "You know, a junior brother should not be doing those types of things to his Senior Sister."

  Athena spoke with a light tone as she had an expression of relaxation, her fingers tapping on the defined abdominal muscles as she counted with a cloudy expression.

  "It was the least I could do. The only thing I've seen you do is battle and cultivate that I was starting to wonder if you had it in yo-"

  Pah!

  A light slap landed on his chest as Noah stopped his sentence, Athena looking towards him with a threatening expression as he smiled and stared at the ceiling. A second later, he spoke again, this time in a softer tone.

  "I am curious about something though, in regards to the news of Grandmaster Luo. I did not expect you to react the way you did."

  Athena raised her head slowly as her cloudy eyes looked at Noah's, replying with a sigh as her curvaceous body that was always hidden from the eyes of many stood up, a simple robe wrapping around her thereafter as she began fixing her hair back into a ponytail.

  "It is what fate laid in store, so I don't particularly have any strong feelings."

  Her tone was reminiscent and slightly cold as she spoke, Noah's eyes shining as he continued.

  "He was the one to find you in your ruined world and take you to become a Celestial, I thought it would hit you hard."

  "We know the risks we take in order to maintain balance in this galaxy of ours. Fate is written for some of us to fall, and some of us to continue towards a larger goal. We lost a great Grandmaster, and we will be sure to make those responsible pay for it, using it as an opportunity to bring about even more order!"

  Athena replied strongly as even when faced with the death of the being that took her from her star to become a Celestial, she viewed it the same as how she viewed her disciples that died during the last Infernal Hunt.

  What she didn't know was that those disciples and even the recent Grandmaster Luo had all perished from Noah's hands!

  The biggest thing was not this though. In Noah's mind, the biggest boon he received from killing Grandmaster Luo was the memories he obtained, the memories that told him the true story behind the planet that this War Princess was on, as well as Grandmaster Luo who just 'happened' to be on this planet to discover a girl that had a Noble Fate.

  He held a shocking secret about this event that he planned
to use in the future as he continued to bring this senior sister under his heel, what he began here today being just the start as he planned to utilize the abilities of the Sin of L.u.s.t to manipulate the War Princess as much as possible, planning to use her as a weapon against the beings she currently stood with!

  He spoke towards the robed Athena that already had her usual ponytail up, the simple robe covering everything he was just seeing.

  "Alright. Why did you get dressed though, we have at least another few hours?"

  "No, we have to prepare for the powerful beings we will be matched with soon. Not all of us are crazy geniuses that are obtaining Fate Lines faster than anyone thought possible."

  Athena replied with a firm expression as she spoke once more with a light smile.

  "Let's go spar again, maybe if you win this time...I'll entertain the thought of returning to this room again."

  Noah's eyes squinted as he nodded, going with the flow as his relationship with this War Princess had moved forward to another stage, continuing his intrusion into the Celestials and their forces as he prepared for a few things!

  One was the plan for the War Princess, the other was the battle with Special Existences and beings with Noble Fates that would decide whether he received amazing treasures that might even allow him to break into the World Rank at a rate he never expected.

  To achieve such a rank, either he had to do the impossible thing of fighting a being at that rank and winning, obtaining their cores to make his breakthrough. The other way would be to traverse the Celestial Realm until he found a treasure similar to what the Celestials currently had as the prize for the coming battle between powerful geniuses.

  His clone had actually come across a treasure that wasn't just an Inheritance in the Celestial Realm just now, Noah's mind paying attention to the description of the things that his clone was seeing in the hidden space behind the waterfall far to the south region from where his main body was.
