The progression of events for the next few hours didn't need to be repeated, with Noah simply undergoing a session of farming as he cleared the Aether Waves of the Infinite Crucible with a speed of less than 3 hours.
He went through the cycle of using 40 Crucible Points to apply the Aetherbourne Curse and gained 60 Crucible Points every time he cleared 60 Waves, continuing to gain a net amount of points as time passed!
When the third run of the 60 Waves of the Infinite Crucible was complete, Noah got his hands on another Aether Universal Law Crystal as aside from bringing his percentage in the law of Aether to .3%...his body felt a bubbling mass of energy hit an invisible wall and tear it apart, the abundant energy of the Law Crystals finally doing to Noah what they did to the past Ethereal Emperor.
RUMBLE!
He was currently in the Waiting Room as his body was elevated in the air, the milky white color of mana that surrounded him gradually fading as it became tinged with red, settingling with a slightly pink color that shone vibrantly all around his body!
WAA!
He opened his eyes with a burst of mana emanating out, his body sensing the motions of the Universal Law of Aether as well as...his own strength that went past the Realm of Diamond and achieved what the past Ethereal Emperor had obtained before he went out to explore the stars and perished.
PLATINUM!
…!
His eyes honed in on his status panel as he saw a great deal of changes! His attention focused on the most important ones, and that was the enhancement of his 2 Inherent Skills, Mind Dominator and Telekinetic Emperor.
Mind Dominator :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future. This is an inherent skill that strengthens the mind of the user while granting them abilities that can dominate others. The abilities [Subjugate], [Mind Connection], [Remote Control], [Dominator's Consciousness], and [EvolveDevolve] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will become usable as the User rises through ranks-[Spatial Puppet Master] ...
Telekinetic Emperor :: An inherent skill that grants its user the capability to manipulate matter with their mind. Constant and continued use of the abilities of this Inherent Skill will only work to increase the mental strength of the Telekinetic Emperor. The abilities [Matter Manipulation], [Mental Field], [Telekinetic Energy Emission],[Field Master], and [Ruler's Emenation] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will become usable as the User rises through ranks- [Telekinetic Constructs],...
The abilities that grew alongside his rank advanced yet again, Noah's eyes honing in on the newly unlocked abilities of Mind Dominator and Telekinetic Emperor!
[EvolveDevolve] :: The Mind Dominator gains utter control of those subjugated, this ability allowing them to elevate the strength of those under them by either Evolving them into a higher ranking race or Devolving them into mere Beasts. Currently capable routes of Evolution- Arch Humans...Currently capable routes of Devolution- Anomalous Beast…
[Ruler's Emenation] :: Some call it Haki, others call it Fighting Spirit ..it is a type of presence, an emanation of a being's willpower and spirit that when released outwardly will make it feel as if the weight of an entire world is descending down on everything around them. Depending on the strength of the consciousness of the user, Ruler's Emenation can go as far as stopping the movements of weaker beings to utterly destroying their souls with a mere glance.
…!
RUMBLE!
Wondrously powerful skills were added, and they were ones that would need Noah to give a great deal of thought just to test when it came to something like [EvolveDevolve] that allowed him to change the very physiologies of his Subjugated beings!
He would put this for later as the one thing that he would test...was [Ruler's Emenation].
WAA!
His figure and the figure of his Units disappeared into the Infinite Crucible for the 4th time as they dawned all sorts of potions to bring themselves to top shape, the first wave of Aetherbourne Beasts flooding out of the portals soon after as the first wave that consisted of weak Iron Ranked creators flooded out.
Noah was now multiple levels above Iron, these Beasts being considered something that he was miles ahead of as when it came to the strength of consciousness…
He would see just how shocking [Ruler's Emenation] could be as he ordered his Units not to attack, waiting for all the beasts to finish pouring out of the purple portals as when they came mere feet towards them ready to rush towards their figures, Noah's eyes opened sharply as it felt like time had come to a stop.
[Ruler's Emenation]!
THRUUUM!
His eyes opened brightly as slowly, tendrils of light could be seen flashing from them brightly, these tendrils of light releasing a pulsating and suffocating pressure that blasted out in a circular motion all around Noah, its color tinged a cerulean blue as it went on to silently pass through and press down against all of the rushing beasts!
WAA!
The tremendous pressure Noah released seemingly caused even the skies to vibrate, all the beasts that were rushing forward coming to a stop as when time resumed...all of them fell to the floor with white eyes as the souls of these Iron Ranked Beasts...were shattered.
…!
Noah looked at this scene incredulously as his felt his heart beat ever faster, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside of him as this ability of [Ruler's Emenation] took little effort and mana for him to release, where with his abundant consciousness at this stage he felt like he could do it 99 more times without any issues!
Such an ability acted like a powerful crowd control skill as it reminded Noah very much about a particular never ending anime with one stretchy protagonist!
With such a tool in his hands, Noah continued past the waves of the Infinite Crucible as with the addition of [Ruler's Emenation], the clear time became even faster as it was brought down to an hour and a half for them to clear all 60 waves.
This was because Noah was now playing an active part in the battle, his rank at PLATINUM being strong enough to allow him to stand against a Diamond Rift Boss or even two when he added the strength of his consciousness and reduced their battle power and will with his [Ruler's Emenation]!
The 4th Wave was cleared as he absorbed another Universal Law Crystal and brought his Aether Law percentage to .4% comprehension, his farming sessions after that becoming even easier as with the Food Items he could buy to entertain himself from the DImensional Store, he was able to clear the Infinite Crucible over and over again without burning out.
Over a day passed in this manner!
The 60 Waves of the Infinite Crucible filled with Aetherbourne Beasts had been cleared 19 more times, Noah getting his hands of 19 more Tier 2 Diamond Rank Aether Treasure Troves as aside from 19 Aether Law Crystals, the number of Diamond Cores and Diamond Upgrade Crystals he obtained were truly immense!
This wasn't to even mention the Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals as he could use those to make tens of Diamond ranked Units whenever he wished.
But the Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals from over 24 Tier 2 Diamond Rank Aether Treasure Troves and his previous small collection gave him a total of 515,000 of this wondrous loot!
For every single Diamond Unit, 250,000 Diamond Upgrade Crystals were required before they could be enhanced to the maximum and be ready for fusion...and such a thing meant that at this moment, Noah could effectively enhance and fuse two Units of the Diamond Rank as he produced a wondrous new product of a PLATINUM Rank Rift Boss!
With such a creature in hand, what worry did he need to have when he faced whatever enemy was coming? Would he be worth 10 PLATINUM Ranked Blessed to be able to match against a Platinum Ranked Rift Boss? One that would be a creature of a High Tier Element at that?!
…!
Noah's eyes shone brightly at this thought as he looked at his current Units while counting the boons of this farming session.
His current comprehension in the Law of Aether lay at 2.4%.
The particles of Aether he could manipulate and control around his body had gotten even denser as at this moment, his strength was enhanced with +240% Increased Aether Damage, +240% Increased Elemental Penetration, +240% Elemental Corrosion Effect!
His current damage output as a PLATINUM Ranked being far exceeded even the Diamond Ranked Rift Bosses he commanded as units, his mind buzzing as he was excited to know what boons would come from these very same units being elevated to PLATINUM.
After this was done, he would take a break from the monotone farming of the Infinite Crucible as he tried the Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift before it disappeared in just a bit over a day! He wanted to know whether he would be able to obtain something like a Life Universal Law Crystal if he cleared enough floors of this High Tier Elemental Rift, his reservations against facing the unknown enemy being reduced greatly if he could get his hands on another High Tier Law on top of PLATINUM Ranked Rift Bosses!
