Chapter 341 Higher Existence! IIAll of his Status Values culminated into a single Value known as an Ascendancy Value when he became a higher Existence!
A number that told of the power a being could display…and Noah wondered how different it was compared to the ‘Value’ listed when looking through the Ultimate Evolution System that showed the Soul and Physical Values of an existence.
It was an intuitive concept as Noah looked forward to exploring even more of the possibilities contained within this higher tier of existence, especially since his elevation seemed to be different from others as it was more entwined with his Soul.
Where his soul resided the most, the more authority of a Higher Existence it could display!
But the stage of a Higher Existence was extremely unique as with it, one could contain reserves of the Essence of Reality and there were even methods to generate Essence of Reality through the concept of Ascendancy Halos.
So long as one fused the Flames of 15 Nomological Edicts, an Ascendancy Halo would be forged as with it…one could lay out an authority over a whole Reality to begin passively generating Units of the Essence of Reality.
This was what Primordials did as Europa, Cecilia who had killed one of Noah’s bodies, and the first Primordial who forged Noah’s own Idle Gaming System…they all held Ascendancy Halos and oversaw Realities for the perks of passively generating the stupendous Essence of Reality that activated and kept active Systems that altered one’s surrounding Reality!
These were just some of the concepts that came into the picture for Higher Existences, and Noah took everything in at this moment as the process drew to a close while he broke out of the golden cocoons across multiple Realities.
BZZZT!
What stepped out from the cocoon was the beautifully molded body of an existence that surpassed any of the celebrities in Noah’s homeworld when he was alive- being sculpted to fantastical degrees as even he himself would sigh endlessly if there was a mirror.
The cracking of the cocoon was a symbolic gesture as many things could be gleaned from it, but Noah heard a frustrated sigh from the Primordial who was watching all of it as her voice echoed out.
”Couldn’t you have continued this process just a little longer? I was only able to cover a few dozen nearby Realities…”
…!
Terrifying words that caused Noah’s eyes to contract echoed out as cerulean arcs of light shot forth from him, but he only gazed at Europa as even though he became a Higher Existence and seemingly advanced close to her realm of power…he only felt like he could barely now sense the huge gulf that existed between them.
He felt like whenever she wished, she could pinch her fingers and snuff him out of existence!
”You were looking for me across other Realities?”
He spoke carefully as he measured his words while facing this terrifying being.
Her dark hair glimmered in the light as she smiled devilishly at his words, appearing before him with an oppressive aura erupting from her for the first time in a long time since they had been moving together as she spoke three words!
”Yes…so what?”
…!
So what!
A question that a being of absolute power told another as if she wanted to do something, what could the other side do?!
”I want to have a curious thing like you completely under my grasp. With your rate of progression and collection of Reality altering Constructs onto your soul…it wouldn’t be surprising for you to be quickly ascending the Scales of the Firmaments and even near my stage of power…”
Her eyes held an enticing light that seemed to draw everything in, but it was also filled with a Tyrannical light that nobody would dare deny as even Noah felt his recently reforged soul trembling!
”Before that, I want to control you entirely. All the bodies you have hidden across Realities. If I didn’t hate this Elder Primordial calling himself the Gazer, I would have already gone to him and have you located wherever you’re hiding…so you can thank your Destiny that I do not wish to put that vile thing under my employment. But ultimately…I will have all of you, Noah Eckert!”
”…”
An oppressive silence descended on the surroundings as not just Noah, but the pressure that Europa released even caused the two Enders of Reality and the Three-Headed Cosmic Devourer that was the Champion of Reality to be incapacitated from this pressure alone.
Yet Noah remained calm even while his soul shook, his words coming out controlled and slow.
”We shall see whether you will succeed…or if I will reach whatever stage of power your Ascendancy Value signifies and gaze at you with the same eyes you gaze at me now.”
…!
A challenge!
This was what Noah threw out as the devilish smile on Europa only intensified while her figure rose away from Noah, the pressure from her only intensifying!
”Good! Good! Then I will tell you now the gaps in our power…”
BOOM!
Her body exploded with a horrific aura as the blue skies changed color to be painted purple and gold, Noah seeing an unbelievable scene of regally shining Halos of light erupt and gloriously surround the body of Europa!
It wasn’t just rings of bright light- but these rings seemed to be the coagulation of countless runic lines screaming of the Flames of Edicts that came together to give the outline of an astoundingly shining Halo of Ascendancy.
On the small body of Europa, 10 Ascendancy Halos could be seen as shockingly, all of them except a single one were all purple in color!
The last one shone with a bright gold luster as it made her figure be bathed with a Cosmic light of regality, her voice beginning to echo out as she showed her power.
”Across the vast Realities, Higher Existences fight for Ascendancy as they scale the Firmaments…with stages of power ranging from the Weakest First Firmament of Ascendancy which an existence enters when reaching an Ascendancy Value of 1, all the way to the Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy right before one can fight for the Realm of Reality!”
WAA!
The stages of power began to be laid out before Noah’s eyes as it turned out this existence he had connected himself to was far more mysterious and powerful than he ever imagined!
