RUMBLE
A unique light went on to cover the Crow as Noah mystically observed a rift opening up on his chest, the same thing he observed on the Imperial Adjudicator when he recalled the Aurora Galaxy Dragon!
This rift was something unique to Animus Pets, leading them to the Origin Space of their Master as they would reside in here until called out for battle.
When one grew powerful enough, they would have multiple powerful Animus Pets within their Origin that they could call forth instantly to obliterate their enemies!
The 20 meter tall glimmering Crow grew small as it turned into a streak of light and was pulled into his Origin.
"Then I will see your Esteemed selves in a bit. Thank you again for your guidance!"
He gave thanks to the two beings in front of him, Anastasia nodding towards him with good will as he nodded his head and teleported away!
He wasn't worried about showing such a skill at this moment as it would seem something small compared to what he had shown them he could do in the past few hours.
He appeared back in the Brightgold Monarchy Realm among the glistening vegetation filled with essence in the periphery of mountains, his thoughts moving rapidly as in front of him, one of the clones he left in the Starry Sky Galaxy appeared, while the main body of Alexander disappeared!
He had made a quick switch as his main body made a huge leap from one Galaxy to another, wanting privacy in the Stellar Sky Galaxy as the clone that had just switched with him in the Brightgold Monarchy Realm would head towards the newly gained fortress for an Imperial Ruler in the Imperial Citadel.
---
In the Stellar Sky Galaxy, Noah scoured the space he teleported into as he looked for an uninhabited star, finding a planet filled with deadly elemental storms of the surface as he delved deep into it and hid himself while casting an enormous Blood World.
He finally found time to himself as he prepared to fully digest his gains, starting with the summoning of the last pet that the body of Alexander could summon at the Realm of Black Hole!
Before he did this, he called forth his Three-Legged Fate Crow as a swirl appeared on his chest, the majestic fiery gold creature coming out.
"When I first summoned you, what made you answer my call?"
His eyes shone as he asked the golden flaming Crow, trying to pry off some secrets before he tried once more.
"I was lazily moving about when I saw a blinding Summoning Rift appear, its size being multiple times larger than many that I had seen before! We Animus strive to find a perfect pair to complete us, so we always look for the strongest summoner out there. We can measure this by the size of the Summoning Rift!"
A shocking truth came to him as he nodded, the Three-Legged Fate Crow continuing.
"Truly powerful Animus as the Ultra Rare and Prismatic Rank like me are kings on our own right in our home, so we don't even bother answering the calls of Summoning Rifts when they randomly appear. Only those at lesser ranks try their luck. But when we see an enormous Summoning Rift, it normally means the Summoner is extremely proficient in the Dao of Summoning or they have a high Realm that allows them to use immense essence to call upon us, so some of us answer!"
RUMBLE!
Noah could feel as if a grand path was opening itself up in front of him, his shining eyes catching on to a singular truth that would be of great help to any Summoner.
Aside from the random luck of where his Summoning Rift opened in the Animus Universe and which Animus Pet would answer the call, one could increase their chances if they were extremely proficient in the Dao of Summoning or had immense mana!
He didn't have the former, but the latter...he had already the mana on the world.
"Good!" He nodded with appreciation towards the Three-Legged Fate Crow as this Animus Summon felt essence bubble forth from its Master, the skill of <
But this time, Noah did not just stop at the required amount of mana to activate the skill...he continued to senselessly pump in more and more mana into the ability as the runic circle and rift appearing in the skies of the hidden planet he was on got wider and wider.
In the first 10 seconds, its width already exceeded the width that was there when he called forth the Three-Legged Fate Crow, and it only continued to expand!
Pump! Pump! Pump!
"Master, you…"
The Three-Legged Fate Crow had Fate flames leaping out of its beak as it breathed hard, its origin trembling at the sight of the widening rift as it began sensing an Archaic aura on the other side.
For the Three-Legged Fate Crow to have its origin tremble from an Archaic aura even though it held the bloodline of the Archaic Golden Crow...it meant that something terrifying had picked up on the Summoning Rift, something with an even rare and more Archaic bloodline than itself!
Ah!
Chapter 698 - PRISMATIC!
A ridiculously large Summoning Rift!
An Archaic aura that even made the Animus holding the bloodline of the Archaic Golden Crow tremble!
What came out from the other side...was appalling, to say the least.
In the hidden world, fierce mana storms were raging as Noah's dark hair waved widely, his eyes focused on the widening Rift above as it finally seemed large enough to allow through whatever wanted to come.
An aura of antiquity seemed to leak out as from the now over 100 meter rift, a head popped out.
That's right, just a head!
This head alone was extremely shocking to look at, shimmering with colors of grey, purple, and blue as it looked like a dragon's head at first glance, but Noah soon realized it was a serpent's head!
The terrifying serpentine head shone with the essence of Death, Aether, and Chaos as its red eyes opened, locking on Noah before it even stepped out of the Summoning Rift.
It seemed to be gazing at him carefully as it discerned something, having made a decision a second later as an enormous body slithered out of the Summoning Rift with ease!
Its width alone nearly touched the edge of the Rift as it continued to pour out endlessly, its length not yet being ascertained.
The scales on this enormous serpent shone with a purple-blue l.u.s.ter, its draconic-serpentine head rising up threateningly as it stared at Noah, balefully colorful elements freely swimming atop the crystalline scales.
RUMBLE!
The mana that Noah supplied to the Rift was finally cut off as the tail of this enormous serpent finally came out of the rift, its enormous body writhing on the ground as its head rose to the skies and looked down towards Noah. Raising his head to meet the dominant aura of this being, Noah heard an ancient voice resound in his mind!
"Human, I have answered your call. But I do not even know if you are able to keep me here."
The voice seemed to be reverberating in his mind and outside of it as Noah stared at this creature absentmindedly.
This was because the aura he sensed from it was nothing like what he felt from the Three-Legged Fate Crow, the same summon that was shaking frightfully behind him as it tried to keep its arrogant golden beak up against the pressure that the serpent released!
This was because as even Noah affirmed while looking at the description of this creature, it was actually at the Prismatic Rank.
Prismatic!
The second Animus Summon he had called forth had the most shocking rarity, and its identity was even more terrifying!
[Void Eclipsing Sea Serpent](PRISMATIC) :: An Archaic Animus currently in the QUASAR Realm. Still in its early growth phase, this Serpent holds within it one of the 9 Supreme Bloodlines of all Animus Creatures- the bloodline of the Galaxy Devouring Serpent, Jörmungandr. Having mastered the Laws of Death, Chaos, and Aether, this creature's abilities are many. When it completes its growth phase and fully awakens its Bloodline, it will naturally awaken the comprehensions of the Dao of Slaughter contained within.
A creature that was actually an entire stage above his own, one that he would not even be able t
o contract if his [Archaic Contract] wasn't enhanced by skill points!
The voice it released reverberated out as Noah came out of his stupor, wasting no time as he got serious and released the [Archaic Contract] skill.
"I have the ability, and much more!"
RUMBLE!
He voiced out strongly as archaic runes appeared and split in the air, one going to him and the other going into the head of the Void Eclipsing Sea Serpent who looked at the scene playing out calmly.
This creature was extremely wise and had lived for thousands of years, knowing a great deal of things. It was astounded by the amount of essence that created an enormous rift in its Realm as it entered into it, but seeing the Summoner who was only at the Black Hole Realm, it didn't know how this phenomenon was brought about as its ancient heart stayed until the universal rules sent him back to his Realm.
Yet...its enormous red eyes gradually shone as it actually felt the contract this being released...bind into its very soul!
'Hmm?'
Something that should not have been possible for a Summoner to do, this being actually did it as the Void Serpent sensed the contract fully establishing, its soul becoming connected to him.
"Interesting."
Its thick voice reverberated out again as Noah looked towards the creature seriously. He could sense its emotions, which were actually extremely cold and filled with a wild aura of destruction! Its thoughts conveyed to him that it had only answered the call of the Summoning Rift out of passing interest, and that even with the established contract right now- the only emotions it felt were to see how the rest of this interesting set of events play out!
As these thoughts reached him, Noah contained his excitement of obtaining one of the rarest Animus Summons one could have, planning on reigning it in first as it looked at him more than just an interesting being.
"What shall I call you?"
He treated the Summon with respect as it truly deserved that and more, the Void Serpent spreading its aura around the hidden star as it continued to expand for several hundreds of thousands of miles thereafter as it simply observed the area it was currently in.
"Just Void Serpent is fine for now. I will not take any other name other than Jörmungandr, and I do not yet deserve the name at my current Realm."
RUMBLE!
Domineering! Powerful!
The voice of the Void Serpent dripped with ancient regality as Noah nodded, replying with a calm voice full of expectations.
"I will help you to successfully reach the stage to obtain such a name, refining your Bloodline and Realm to the highest levels in a short period of time!"
"Will you now?"
The voice of the Void Serpent seemed cold and curious, Noah only nodding as he returned the same demeanor of dominance and began by casting [Animus Growth Empowerment].
"Yes. First, I shall grant you a Manifested Quasar Realm as I bring you to Grand Completion!"
OOOOM!
Essence erupted out as the skills of an Animus Summoner were cast, a terrifying Archaic Animus that would cause the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter to go in an uproar purely because of its identity...such a creature was summoned and contracted to an unknown being in the corner of the Dark Universe!
Chapter 699 - Entities and Extras
The types of strength across the vast Universe were many.
One could embark on any path, and as long as they spent enough time on it, they would become extremely proficient as they eventually achieve a title of Supremacy!
A title that makes it known a being has an accomplishment in a certain area, and these beings are titled...Entities!
A prerequisite to even be given the title of an Entity was for one to be at the Upper Tier of the GALAXY Realm, and that was simply the prerequisite!
After they became distinguished in a certain area, then they could be given such a prestigious title. The weakest of Entities would be those in the Upper Tier of the GALAXY Realm, while the strongest had immense strength that was hard to even grasp.
To fully understand the intricacies of this, we must also mention the differences of the three Tiers of the GALAXY Realm, where each of them are like their own stages!
From Lower, Middle, to Upper, each Tier of the GALAXY realm corresponds to a vast gulf in strength that some consider them separate Realms by their own right.
A being at the Lower Tier of the GALAXY Realm could never defeat one at the Middle Tier, and the same applied for the peak!
Even the powerful Aurora Galaxy Dragon was only at the Lower Tier of the GALAXY Realm even with all its shocking strength.
But the target of discussion today is a being dwelling in the Burning Domains Galaxy, the one holding the title of an Entity!
Even though she was heavily injured, this being was at the Upper Tier of the Galaxy Realm as she held shocking strength that could decimate Realms and shatter Galaxies if she really put in the work at her peak.
Yet she had gone through a terrible ordeal as heavy injuries were dealt, injuries that took an extremely long time to heal as they were dealt by a being proficient in a Dao!
It was a particularly deadly Dao at that, being a rare one that focused on the extreme essence of weapons- the Dao of the Sword! When she faced the terrible Entity that was at the same Realm as her, she had found the essence of a Sword occupying her entire sight as she only saw the grand form of a sword and nothing else.
Phantom sword strikes containing Dao within them had bloomed all around her in shocking numbers as they struck forth, nearly ripping apart her body as her soul was gravely injured. The only reason she was able to survive...was because the Dao she studied was one that gave her a degree of survivability.
The Entity residing in the Burning Domains who enhanced the strength of Fiends was actually studying the Dao of Vitality! She had long since mastered and assimilated the Law of Life thousands of years ago, where she then touched upon the deeper concepts of Vitality as she stepped upon the path of this Dao. This was the only reason she had kept her life when faced against a being with strongly Offensive based Dao of the Sword.
She then came to reside in the Burning Domains Galaxy as she healed herself while elevating the strength of beings within, having kept her prize from the battle with another Entity while also sensing another one just like it on a Galaxy not too far away- it was the Pages from the Book of Ruination!
Yet after years of planning and releasing the Fiends on a plan that should have succeeded, none of it produced any results.
RUMBLE!
Deep underground on the Central Realm of the Burning Domains Galaxy, this Entity was walking at the deepest areas of where the core of this Galaxy resided, her body bubbling with essence as she drew in the potent universal and atmospheric essence around her, a unique energy even seeping out of the obsidian core of the Burning Domains Galaxy as well.
Shockingly, this being traversing in the Dao of Vitality could even drain the Vitality of Galaxies to heal herself!
If one listened closely, they would even be able to hear the distinct sound of the Galaxy Core crying out, but no aid came to it even its most powerful inhabitants were under the reign of this Entity.
"Hmph, just you wait."
Her enormous body showed a face filled with power and wrath as her words were said to no one, a colorful green-grey light that represented the Dao of Vitality swirling around her in a stellar fashion!
Faced with such a being who used to be at the Upper Tier of the GALAXY Realm and was proficient in a Dao, what could her enemies do?!
---
As many beings moved with their lives and planned, Noah continued to move with his own aims.
While the body of Alexander trained the fearsome Void Serpent at the QUASAR Realm and refined its bloodline, the body of Noah in the Novus Galaxy had chosen the 5 Extras for the [Chosen Extras] ability.
The choices could be changed at any time, so he had currently placed the Emperor Penguin, Barbatos, Kazuhiko, Elena, and Athena!
<
br /> The moment these beings obtained the title of an Extra, an imperceptible golden light shone over them as even they felt some changes, but didn't exactly know what they were. It was also at this time that Noah distributed Nebula Rank Loot to them and other Harbingers that didn't yet have the title of Extras, observing the differences as they progressed through the Realms while absorbing the Cores.
An hour since the beginning of absorption and with speed reminiscent of Noah, the 5 Chosen Extras all broke through into the Nebula Rank after the implosion of their forged star. The other Harbingers were progressing much slower, but their Realms would make a breakthrough at any moment!
Each of them took the loot Noah gave them with heavy hearts as they could not even bring themselves to ask where he had gotten such treasures.
They knew that even while they were living peaceful lives and simply training, he must have been putting his life at risk to be able to get the treasures he brought back to them, and in such large quantities at that.
Their hearts felt stifled as they were screaming inside, screaming of wanting to help and be of use as Noah stopped risking his life alone!
Whether their wishes would be granted as they achieved higher Realms was yet to be known, and even their misconceptions about Noah and what he was currently doing would soon change.
He planned to gradually let them know what happened with the Terrors and Outsiders, how he was already moving in another Galaxy, and simply impart to them much of the knowledge they would need before they set off to explore outside of the Novus Galaxy.
He was creating experts as easy as it could be, simply feeding them loot like steroids until they bulked up to powerful individuals. This was even more true as the 5 Chosen Extras that had stepped into the Nebula Rank had already been given the treasured Effulgent Star Pearls to absorb, depending on their own talent for how many stars they could forge before they broke through!
For these 5 Chosen Extras, the Realms of Star Forging to Nebula to Black Hole would all be broken through in a matter of days, something that would be impossible anywhere you went.
Who else but Noah could make something like this happen?!
