RUMBLE
Essence raged around the Three-Legged Fate Crow once more as one could see on its Manifested Nebula...100,000 stars shone with immense l.u.s.ter.
BOOM!
All of these stars within this Nebula then imploded as a core of a multicolored Black Hole was then formed with ease, as easy as anything could be!
CAA!
A fearsome cry of the Three-Legged Fate Crow then rang out as golden flames flared out of its beak, its eyes opening grandly as its evolved body came to view.
Standing above 20 meters with feathers that shimmered with golden flames, its body was filled with a beautiful mixture of red and gold feathers as above its golden beak and multicolored eyes, an illusory crown could be seen placed on this future Golden Crow!
Its three legs beneath shone with piercing sharpness as its eyes landed on Noah, and the eyes could not hide the happiness of this Summon.
"A truly worthy Trainer! From this day forth, I shall follow you with all my heart. Let us show the puny beings of this Universe just what the future Archaic Golden Crow and Master Trainer can do!"
Ruby, the newly summoned Three-Legged Fate Crow, said these words clearly as even Anastasia and the Imperial Adjudicator heard them. Its piercing golden beak shone with l.u.s.ter as its eyes shimmered with strong confidence that blinded those looking!
Alexei and Anastasia looked at each other with exhausted smiles at the sight of this genius, Anastasia sending a telepathic message to Alexei at this time.
"You must grant this being the highest Title below yours as you prepare the warriors to defend against your coming enemies. Don't lose the fealty of such a genius!"
Alexei, the Imperial Adjudicator, nodded at these words as he took out a shimmering Medallion that represented his Authority as the highest ranked Imperial in the Nexus Galaxy.
His eyes were somber as he released a shocking announcement to the high ranking Imperial Lords and Imperial Rulers, with the announcement later on being spread to all Imperials!
It was a command that effective immediately, a new Imperial Ruler was born! The being that had foiled the plot of the Fiends and saved the Imperial Princess in the Stellar Sky Galaxy, the one known as Alexander King was given a title that only the few QUASAR ranked experts of the Nexus Galaxy enjoyed.
Young in age yet holding tremendous strength, his position had been rapidly elevated as another core defender of the Nexus Galaxy was born!
Aside from the shock and stupor of many, the one who was most affected by this was actually Noah himself who had yet to even hear of the command elevating him to a higher position.
His eyes were honing in on the brilliant figure of the Three-Legged Fate Crow as he sensed its vibrant power, his heart already set on trying to summon the next pet he could summon right away!
The body of Alexander could summon another pet, and his body as Noah in the Novus Galaxy could also summon 2 more pets as soon as he reached the Black Hole Realm. There were so many things to do that even with his many bodies and clones he felt short-staffed, and yet in the next moment a resonant sound rang in his mind.
DING!
[Conditions for the next stage of the Protagonist Trait have been met.]
Ah!
Noah's heart shook at these words shining in a blue text panel appearing in front of him, the gains on this day after performing spectacularly in the Stellar Sky Galaxy not just ending at him receiving the techniques of the Law of Death and the even more shocking knowledge of the Dao and obtaining the powerful Archaic Summoning techniques...his Trait would also be taken to the next level as the gains and loot just continued coming!
Chapter 695 - Unlocked Abilities of the Protagonist
In the Novus Galaxy, a storm of essence was erupting around Noah as he recreated the 100,000 stars of a Nebula and shattered all of them, his surroundings thrown into chaos as essence raged to help him form his Manifested Black Hole.
One body entering the Realm one day, his other body slightly behind as he entered it a few hours later!
At this moment, both of his identities had the Manifested Black Hole Realm as on Noah's body, a multicolored Black Hole could be seen rotating beautifully.
Currently, he was in a location in the Infinite Realm where multiple Law Spaces intersected, enjoying the benefits of each of them as the abundant essence multiplied multiple times over with the Enhancement he had cast over the entire Galaxy.
At this moment, he and the many beings of the Novus Galaxy were experiencing tremendous growth!
Every day, more and more of his subordinates unlocked their own Traits, each of them ranging from Alpha and going all the way to EPSILON in the case of Kazuhiko.
What should have taken them months and years to do, they were now achieving in a matter of weeks as the atmospheric essence and universal law essence was simply too abundant at this moment. Those traversing in laws found it easy, those upgrading through ranks had an even easier time!
And now as Noah stabilized his Manifested Black Hole and watched its multicolored appearance rotate on his body, his eyes rose up from the Infinite Realm as he seemed to pierce through the layers of space to see a far away location.
At this time, another body of his was tearing through the layers of space as he cast an extremely long distance teleportation, one that only someone with his Infinite Mana could cast!
RUMBLE!
Blinding essence erupted in front of him as he gazed at the clone of Alexander appearing all the way from the Stellar Sky Galaxy.
Devilish handsomeness that hadn't quite reached his original body, but still holding a unique charm! The clone appeared as it teleported light years from one Galaxy to another, waving its hands as a large amount of shimmering Cores, Skill Books, and Effulgent Star Pearls poured out!
The Origins of Noah and Alexander in the different Galaxies shared a different storage space from the use of the [Expansive Space] ability, so the only way to transfer things across his two bodies was for one of them or the clones to go to the other Galaxy.
He couldn't have the clones of Noah even enter the Nexus Galaxy as it would alert the Entity overseeing it, but it was no issue for the clones of Alexander to jump light years away and into the Novus Galaxy to bring back all the loot!
Contained in the enormous pile were all the treasures obtained from the Fiends, with the cores ranging from Nebula all the way to Black Hole as Noah knew he would produce many experts from his forces with these.
He would distribute them to the Harbingers of Sin and then the Beasts of the Infinite Realm as he prepared to do even more things himself. He waved his hands as the loot brought out entered his storage space, Alexander's clone already disappearing as it went back to continue mining the treasured Effulgent Star Pearls.
Meanwhile, Noah himself returned to cultivating as he saw the appearance of the [Dao of Summoning Traverser] skill and the other newly gained skills to summon Animus Pets that Alexander had obtained, his eyes shining as he sat down to gain the essence of the Dao of Summoning with this body as well!
The moment this was completed, he would start summoning with this body as well as he wondered what Animus Pets would come out of it.
Intricate actions such as this continued to happen in the background as time passed, with Noah's body in the Novus Galaxy doing a multitude of tasks as his people did the same. Everyone was moving and doing their own things, but they all came together to form a shocking story that very few could experience!
Back in the Nexus Galaxy, the body of Alexander was watching the notification that the Protagonist skill would be elevated to another level, still not knowing that it was due to him being appointed as one of the highest protectors of the Nexus Galaxy.
To unlock the next stage of this wondrous Trait, he had to play a central role in the Nexus Galaxy, and his actions in just two weeks did just that. Just less than two weeks!
A silent essence of the Nexus Galaxy raged around him as he felt something within him elevated. He sensed th
e changes as his eyes focused on the panel showing this ridiculous Trait.
[Protagonist] :: You are the protagonist. To live up to such a title, abilities worthy of creating a true Protagonist are granted. As it is a culminated Trait, it has different stages that each have their own abilities. Currently Unlocked Ability(s) : Eyes of Truth, Photographic Memory, Memorable Visage, Blind Luck, Plot Armor, Chosen Extras, Deus Ex Machina. Locked Abilities: Chosen One, Save Point, @#%#%@$. To increase the stage of the Trait and bring it to complete fruition, you must play the central and decisive role in the Nexus Galaxy.
From the original three abilities, three more had been listed in a stellar fashion as [Plot Armor], [Chosen Extras], and [Deus Ex Machina] were unlocked!
His eyes twinkled as while Anastasia and the Imperial Adjudicator stood behind him, he began reading the panel displaying the details of [Plot Armor] that only he could see.
[Plot Armor] :: As a true main character, one must have a tool that allows him to keep his life in any situation! Yet to achieve this in reality is extremely hard. This ability allows the holder of the Protagonist Trait to gain genuine the [Plot Armor Status Effect] for a period of 1 hour, with the skill having a cool down of 30 days purely because of its reality-altering effects. With the status effect active, the user will not lose their life as their body and soul gain the [Invulnerable] effect that prevents all sources of damage.
"..."
As he looked at the skill, all he could say was that it was a truly worthy skill for a protagonist!
Chapter 696 - Utter Ridiculousness!
His eyes shook with strong emotions as the powerful beings beside him noticed this, Anastasia coming towards him with care as she asked him whether he had used up too much mana.
"Recover for now before trying to summon your next Pet. I would even have you rest an entire day until you're in top shape before doing it."
Noah nodded his head at the gorgeous personage worrying about him, sitting down in the garden of the mystical castle they were at in the Blue Plains Realm as he really had to be seated for the things he was currently reading.
Off to the side, Anna was still entranced with the Dao Crystal as her hand remained attached to it, essence bubbling calmly around her as she tried her best to catch a wisp of the Dao of Summoning!
Noah put all of this beside him as he read the details of [Plot Armor] again.
Such an ability truly made him shake his head in wonder, as the things it detailed were simply too fantastical!
When he used it, he would be under the effect of Plot Armor as his body gained something called [Invulnerable]- an ability that allowed him to not take any damage whatsoever.
He had to reread such an ability multiple times just to make sure he wasn't dreaming!
He hadn't even gone through the skills of [Chosen Extras] and [Deus Ex Machina], [Plot Armor] alone taking the spot light as he gained a new idea while reading the descriptions of the ability.
His eyes were honing in on the skill termed [Invulnerable] as his eyes shone, putting the details of it in the Skill Creation tab as he wondered if he could bring this effect to fruition himself without being restricted to one hour and a 30 day cooldown!
If he could do such a thing, he would just close the pages of his story as he lived his life to the fullest! Yet what showed in front of his eyes when he tried it brought him back down to earth.
[Invulnerable] :: An ability that allows the user to enter a state that prevents any source of damage from reaching them. Cost of Skill Creation- 1,000,000,000,000,0…
Zeroes on top of zeroes filled his screen as his fantastical thoughts quickly came down, toning down his greed as he was already ecstatic with the effect of [Plot Armor].
With such a tool under his belt, many ideas were coursing through his mind as he thought of the enemy that the Nexus Galaxy currently faced and the many days he could deal with them.
He had the memories of the Fiend Rulers, and he knew of the fearsome Master they had! A being with the identity of an Entity!
He wasn't even sure what stage of the GALAXY Realm this being was in, but he knew that it was a terrifying creature.
Yet...a skill like Plot Armor that granted him Invulnerability for a whole hour...many ideas swirled in his mind as he thought about it!
But he placed these ideas for later as he looked on to the other two unlocked abilities of the Protagonist Trait.
[Chosen Extras] :: As with any Protagonist, there must be side characters that add something to your journey. They cannot all be left behind and forgotten like weaklings that contribute nothing. This ability allows you to currently choose 5 Extras who will be granted the [Enhanced Growth Perk] that allows them to progress through Realms at a speed comparable to the Protagonist, +100% Increased Loot Effect when defeating enemies, +100% Increase to their Comprehension, and a Thrice increase to their Luck.
[Deus Ex Machina] :: At the most critical and important juncture as the life of the Protagonist is in peril, casting this ability will bring forth an unexpected power, being, or event that will save them from the seemingly hopeless situation. As with any skill capable of affecting universal rules, there is a 30 day cooldown after every use.
His head shook with incredulity as he stared at the description of skills, Deus Ex Machina being somewhat similar to Plot Armor, while Chosen Extras went on to help those that Noah deemed as his subordinates!
They were skills worthy of being under such a shocking title as Noah was already thinking about who he should choose among the 5 Chosen Extras, but even with such an ability he still wondered whether his subordinates would play truly important roles in the future.
They had to rise through the Realms and gain great strength, becoming a powerful force that could dominate their own region of the Dark Universe after tens or hundreds of years!
All of these were possibilities for the future as he waited for it expectantly. As for the ability of Deus Ex Machina, it was yet another life saving tool if he ever brought himself to a pinch, and he planned to always save this for use even after he utilized [Plot Armor].
"Haaa…"
He breathed out a contented sigh after looking at the newly gained abilities of Protagonist, many grand ideas swimming in his mind that he never thought of before.
One of such ideas was if he really used [Plot Armor] and gained Invulnerability for an hour, where even a terrifying Entity would not be able to kill him- what if he used the Fiend's memories and went to raise hell in the Burning Domains Galaxy while obtaining a whole lot of loot?!
He had to plan thoroughly and be sure that it would be worth the use of Plot Armor with its 30 day cool down, with his prizes from it being to at least enter the QUASAR Realm.
His thoughts actively moved as it seemed like he was just meditating as an hour passed.
Beside him, the domineering Three-Legged Fate Crow was unfurling its fiery golden wings that were bathed with scorching flames as it refined its Realm of Black Hole, this mystical Ultra Rare Animus Pet giving an extremely striking look!
It seemed like a fantastical bird from ancient times appearing in the modern era, with its form constantly evolving towards the Archaic Golden Crow as its bloodline continued to awaken.
OOM
A wave of essence silently spread out from Noah at this time as he opened his eyes, staring at the 20 meter tall Three-Legged Fate Crow that was bathing in Fate Essence and Flames, a smile spreading on his lips as he got ready to summon his second Animus Pet!
Before he made any plans to raise his realm or siege an entire Galaxy, he had to be as strong as possible. And being surrounded by horrendously powerful Animus Pets that had a similar perfected Realm like him...it would truly be a feast for the eyes.
As he rose to try his luck at Summoning another pet, he knew that his identity as Noah in the Novus Galaxy would soon do the same as well. It was bound to be an eventful next few hours as he continued exploring the new path of power!
Meanwhile, the Imperial Ad
judicator was coming towards him as he was about to hand down a position of responsibility and power...
Chapter 697 - Imperial Ruler!
In the garden on the lone Castle in the Blue Plains Realm, the Imperial Adjudicator had come in front of Noah the moment he observed the genius to have woken up.
With the heart of a Ruler and his authority, he relayed the news of Noah gaining the title of an Imperial Ruler- something that only those at the Realm of QUASAR could hold!
To him, it was only natural as the genius that even Anastasia was shocked by could already kill beings at the QUASAR Realm, so granting him a title such as this was extremely befitting.
Noah had taken the news calmly as he expressed his thanks to the Adjudicator, knowing his advancement of the Protagonist Trait was in part due to this as he could now play a larger role in the Nexus Galaxy.
The position came with many benefits, granting him his own castle under the name of Dannicus in the Imperial Citadel and even granting him the possible position of overseeing another Galaxy as the Imperial Adjudicator mentioned he could work with the Stellar Ruler to look over the Stellar Sky Galaxy!
Such a thing was wanted by many Imperials, but Noah brushed it off for now as he said he did not have talent with such a thing, and would focus on increasing his strength for now.
Anastasia agreed with this as she spoke towards the two men, her eyes shining as she saw Alexei hand Noah a Medallion that represented an authority of an Imperial Ruler.
"Take some time to solidify your understanding in the Dao of Summoning as well as becoming familiar to your pet. I'll keep watch over Anna for now, and we will discuss the enemy in the Burning Domains Galaxy in a few days when we collect more information."
Agreeing with this thought process and wanting time to himself to truly explore his many gains, Noah glanced at the domineering Three-Legged Fate Crow that blazed with the essence of fate and flames behind him as he felt the connection with this creature and uttered out.
"Return."
