Chapter 299 - Preparations Complete!

The massacre of the Infernals continued for another few hours as Noah continued to endlessly throw out tremendously powerful Portals of Terror and cut apart everything around him with Sever, his excitement continuing to build up as he saw the Skill Points continuing to flow in, only slightly dampened when he noticed the percentage under the title of Infernal Lord had only risen by another 1% to become 2%.

He looked at the area around him that had turned into a wasteland for miles as his body shot off into the distance, going towards the outer fringes where the Lich Emperor and others were wreaking havoc as he chose to continue on to the next phase of plans.

Increasing the percentage in front of the Infernal Lord title would be something that would take a long time, and he already mapped out how he would be completing it on the side while he moved to the Underworld and then to the 7th Celestial Star in the future.

As he moved towards the location of the others, he released the form of the Lesser Cthulhu, staring at his chest to find the runic marking of a star still visible beneath his skin, but fading away the moment he gave a simple mental command. He nodded at the simplicity of this as he arrived to meet the ravaging forces of the Undead Legion that the Abhorred Lich Emperor commanded.

Kazuhiko and company were moving enthusiastically as they released assortments of colorful and deadly skills that were definitely not correlated with their levels, the power that the Transcendent Rank Kazuhiko released being able to injure a normal being in the Saint Rank as he had chosen a Skill Tree to focus his Skill Points in and became even stronger.

The Kraken and other beasts were in the same boat as their bodies trembled with power, some reinforcing elemental skills as they released extremely freezing attacks or scorching flames that burned the highly resistant Infernals.

Noah ascertained this huge level of progress as he returned to the Spiritual Land and found the Frozen Queen who was playing with the weaker beasts that did not leave the Spiritual Land, her hands holding multiple Medicinal Fruits that she was passing out to the beasts.

Night was standing by her side as usual as Noah came towards them and told them a bit about his future movements, the Frozen Queen nodding with a sad but determined face as Noah teleported with her and Night back to the Frozen Kingdom of the Beast World.

Many of the preparations were complete on Noah's side, as he had completed the things he placed the most importance on before he followed the coordinates of the Void Crystal towards the Underworld.

He returned to the First Realm of Hell as he conversed with the Harbingers of Sin on what they planned to do, with many of them seeing their extreme rise in strength and usefulness of the Skill Points as they chose to remain in the First Realm of Hell to increase their power.

The Skill Points rapidly increased the power of their skills and focused them in a particular direction, while they could also be used to increase the proficiency of skills. Although the Skill Points used to increase proficiency would forever be lost, while those added to skill trees could freely be distributed. This made it so that unless they wanted to see the number of points they could use reducing rapidly, they had to increase the proficiency of their skills by using them and constant practice.

When it came to Noah though, his speed of gathering Skill Points could not even be looked at on the same level as everyone else, and he had the option to waste some Skill Points if he chose to in order to quickly raise the proficiencies of a certain skill for combination.

Noah agreed with the thoughts of the Harbingers of Sin as he planned to leave the Spiritual Land in the skies of this Infernal Realm, seeing no possible issues arising as he would be leaving behind the monstrously powerful Abhorred Lich Emperor that could withstand multiple Void Rank Infernals with its expanded power as Noah readded all of the Skill Points he had taken away previously, and even mostly maxed the Skill Tree of the Lich as its power continued to climb up senselessly.

[Lich Lord of Abomination] (15/15):: Abilities- Summon Poison Totem(5/5), Summon Undead(5/5), Noxious Outburst(5/5), and Dereliction of the Saintly Poison Lord(5/5) >> [Abhorred Lich Emperor](25/30) :: Additional Abilities- Undead Legion(5/5), Will of the Undead Emperor(5/5), and Delay Death(5/5)

The Lich was geared towards death, with a few poison abilities still playing a role as it used both a fearsome Undead Legion and tremendously powerful poisonous attacks on the hordes of Infernals. The skill itself was currently at 25/30, just a few more points being required before the pathway towards the next rank could be shown. But before this pathway could even be opened, Noah would need to have two Void+ Ranked skills to sacrifice.

This put a limiter to how fast his strength could rise as even at this moment, he only held two Void Rank Skills, and would need to either spend many skill points to quickly increase the proficiencies of Saint Rank skills to make more Void and then Void+ through Skill Combination, or use the smarter path and conserve the highly important Skill Points that did not just go towards his Skill Tress, but also towards the percentage of the Infernal Lord title, and max the proficiency of the skill he chose for combination the normal way that would take some time.

With the advent of the upgraded Time Space that held a ratio of 1:40, this would not be an issue for Noah.

He couldn't help but form a smile at the many means he had at his disposal as he sent some final commands to the Abhorred Lich Emperor for him to continue amassing Skill Points and protect the people he was leaving behind first and foremost.

In the case anything drastic or unexpected occurred, like the rise of an Aberration that was extremely unlikely to happen again, the Lich held the stupendous skill [Delay Death] that would give Noah a chance to teleport back in a millisecond in case an accident occurred.

The preparations seemed to be all but done as Noah went around to leave multiple [Markers] with the use of the Absolute Skill, <<Astral Connector>>, as he marked multiple locations across the now four worlds he was connected to. In case he ever ran into a situation where a spatial lock was placed down by his enemies, it would never become a worry for him as he would be able to run regardless.

His body disappeared from the First Realm of Hell as he reappeared miles away from where the doorway that led to it stood, at the same location that the Celestial Grandmaster had teleported him and Elder Spacewarp to give him the invitation of joining the Celestials.

Noah's figure rapidly folded in upon itself as he activated an ability of the [Amorphous Space Beast] skill that led to the [Lesser Cthulhu] skill tree, using the ability of [Miniature Space] as his body fully disappeared and a small black dot that was barely discernible in the dark void space appeared.

Inside the small Miniature Space where his body was contained in, Noah pulled out the Void Crystal that held the coordinates towards the Underworld as the small black dot began to tear through the void of space with extreme speeds.

The next location was set. Now, it was only waiting to see what exactly waited for him as he learned more about the beings that stood against the Celestials.
