Chapter 482 - New Quest
"The fastest way is to simply obtain the Authority from the Origin Will of the Spirit World, the Master of all Principalities."
Noah and his wives narrowed their eyes, imagining a power above Principality. The wives couldn't. Noah could somehow guess.
But that was when a thought flashed through his mind.
People said that the Spirit World was at the rank of Divine realm. But no matter how much Noah thought about this, it could not be possible.
The Spirit World housed not one universe, but multiple others. All of them linked towards each other through their Principalities.
How could such a thing be only at Divine realm? There must be a realm above Divine.
The question was what?
Noah shook his head, dispelling these thoughts, focusing on Light who was still not done yet.
"That is the fastest way," Light said, "but the most difficult one. After all, first, my friend, I do not know how you will make The Will meet you. I am not saying it's impossible, but I have never witnessed it. And I tend to not believe what my eyes didn't witness."
"That's a shallow way of thinking." Yuki chirped.
"Did anyone talk?" Light asked, looking around, "Hm? No? No one? Must be the wind."
Yuki's veins bulged. Elira suppressed a smile, while Noah acted like he didn't hear anything.
Light continued calmly,
"Let's continue, my friend. I said the first obstacle. For the second, let's say, by miracle, The Will accepted to meet you..."
The Soul Ruler's voice lowered, his eye contracting,
"What tells you IT will accept to make you a Principality? IT might just kill you. That's the most likely outcome to happen, honestly."
"All of these make your so-called fastest way potentially the slowest one and equally the most dangerous," Noah said.
"Indeed, my friend." Light shrugged, "It's fast only if The Will is cooperative. Maybe you are not unaware, but Will doesn't have the habit to be cooperative, my friend."
"All of these are useless worries." Yuki suddenly interjected again, causing everyone to steer at her. Unbothered, she lifted her right hand, pointing her index finger at Noah.
Her action felt like reality was being severed.
"Noah has this bad but fun habit of always attracting powerful
entities' attention." She continued, making Noah's lips twitch and Elira giggle,
"He is like a magnet."
"Is that true?" Light tilted his head, looking at Noah.
All of a sudden, he nodded to himself, as if only realizing something,
"You do look like someone like that." He admitted, "But this is a different case here."
"Oh, it's fine." Noah said, finally getting up.
He stood upright, stretching his body so hard that crackling sounds, like bark of a tree snapping, boomed through the room.
He let out a moan of relief, before focusing again, his hands resting on each of his sides. He raised his head, his mind going into different directions.
"I have one last question." Noah said after seconds of silence, "What do you know about the first Soul Ruler?"
"Hm?" Light hummed, "Shadow, you mean?"
His wings fluttered even more rapidly.
"Yes." Noah said, still looking upward.
"Shadow is Shadow." Light shrugged, "I doubt anyone knows anything about her besides her gender. And even that, my friend, it's something quite debatable. We have never seen her, after all."
"However..."
Light suddenly turned his attention towards Elira, making the
Paragon of Soul frown instantly, her eyes narrowing.
"...don't ask me why, good friend, but this one feels like Shadow. Again, I don't know why. But I can feel similarities."
"Similarities in what?" Elira asked, her voice edged by a tense tone.
"I don't know." Light shrugged, voice flat, "I just know you two feel
similar."
His neutral voice coupled with his bored attitude made Elira wish nothing but to rip him apart.
Light knew. And he scoffed at her openly.
"Is she dangerous?" Noah said, secretly enjoying Light's interaction with his wives, "More than you, I mean?"
"Hard to tell. I never saw her fight. However, my instinct tells me she
is indeed more than me."
"My instincts tell me the same too." Noah added, then smiled, "Interesting. It seems, Elira, you will surprise us soon enough."
"I don't think there is anything funny in the current situation, husband." Elira sighed, "This is creepy. I know nothing yet everyone seems to know something."
"Relax," Noah whispered, "I believe we will have the answer to our questions in no time."
"How?" Yuki asked.
"You see, dear friend and wives, the matter of The Merchant has
woken up something in me, making me wish to do things I would normally hesitate about."
He said, smile deepening. The others listened, feeling a rising bad
feeling.
"I was going too gingerly this whole time. Due to that, I wasted some precious time I unfortunately do not have an abundance of in my
current situation."
"But let's change that."
He lowered back his head, staring at Light,
"Tell me," Noah said, "Would making this whole Principality nothing but ashes be enough to gather The Will's attention on me?"
Dead fucking silence.
Light, Yuki and Elira were in a frozen state, staring at Noah as if he
had grown a second head.
Before they even managed to get out of their dazed state, something
else flashed in front of Noah.
His intention had been heard.
<LOGOS: Son of Gaia of The Seed of*****. Your intention has been
seen. Your intention has been acknowledged. Your intention has
received an appropriate response.>
DING!
<New Quest: Destroy The Principality of the Primus Universe, and
snatch away the Authority from The Will. The Souls must be safe, or you fail.>
<Rewards: Direct Advancement into Prince of Sky, Chosen Choice of Soulbeast for The Vaelgrim Family, Information about the Hunt of the Horn of Prime of the Primus Universe.>
By the time the others regained their minds, managing to absorb the blasphemous words of Noah, the man himself was grinning wide, a surge of excitement flooding inside his veins like molten lava.
His bloodline let out a sharp cry, sounding more excited than its own
master.
"Hey! My friend Noah, tell me it's a joke?" Light hurriedly said. His
tone and face remained neutral despite the obvious worry in his
demeanor.
"Joke?" Noah laughed, "This is no time for jokes, Light. You see, Yuki
was right. I have this uncanny ability to attract attention from the
powerful."
"But it's nothing like an innate aspect of mine." He continued, slowly levitating toward the ceiling of the room.
"I am just a dedicated troublemaker."
Noah added, before snapping his head towards Yuki and Elira.
"Call the others." He told them, before continuing upward until he touched the very ceiling, his voice still echoing,
"Tell them it's going to get messy. And the only safe place would be
beside me."
The ceiling parted away, as if pulled at each side, making a way for
him. Noah continued, ascending like a god returning to his dwelling, until he was high above the cloud-filled space of the Principality.
He stood there, closing his eyes, his face smeared by sharp focus,
mind searching for an efficient way to achieve his goal.
Noah knew well that doing what he intended would not only attract
the attention of The Will, but also its anger. The quest was clear...
He needed to snatch away the authority of the Principality. But for
that, Noah already had an idea.
There was one other thing to ponder about. And it was how to take
care of the other Soul Rulers while doing his quest.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Noah felt something buzz into his thought-cage.
He immediately knew what it was.
It was something he had forgotten a while ago, thinking it had
disappeared when he died last time.
It was something he had taken from the very depth of Elizabeth Apollonia, and hidden into multiple folds of reality.
It was the golden nail of Idalia Marigold of Light Torcheur.
That nail was shaking. And that shaking was accompanied by the
widening smile of Noah,
"They said Fate favors the bold."
Noah barked a laugh,
"Is this their way of proving me that? My daughter is so hardworking.
Now I miss them."
He took out the nail, wrapping his power around it just before it flew away, going straight towards a certain direction.
The direction of the Shadow of What Was Lost's Dominion. "One down, or at least busy enough. Light is with me. Love will be
with me with the help of Mother Maryam and Selene. Now, who is
left, Solstice, huh?"
His eyes curved,
"Fine, let's clear this quest in that little guy's territory!"
