Chapter 409 - Fate Lines and Chaos Particles
Noah's Ancient Blood Clone descended onto one of the grand castles that were present in this devilish looking metropolis at the center of the Second Infernal Realm, the few attending Infernals inside it bowing towards him respectfully as his aura seemed inviolable to them!
This was the aura of an Infernal Lord, and it came with many positives, but also a number of negatives as well.
The biggest negative currently was that Noah could be classified as an Infernal, and a high ranking one at that, which made it so that he could not obtain the unique energy in the form of Skill Points that was only available when beings of polar opposite existences defeated each other in the Novus Galaxy!
When the Celestials and other beings in the Novus Galaxy entered into an Infernal Realm to hunt down Infernals, they would receive this unique energy as their power and comprehension was boosted. When the Infernals defeated them, in turn they would also power up rapidly as their rank increased.
The obtainment of the Infernal Rank title had effectively made Noah a special existence that now neither stood on one side or the other, actually being a hybrid existence that took away this unique feature, but granted him so much more. But this also meant that the Skill Points he currently had were limited to this number, his gaze looking at the overall Skill Points that were hovering a bit over 2000.
His gaze was impassive as these thoughts came, simply letting him know that he had to use the Skill Points well and not waste them by permanently using them in maxing proficiencies of skills. But he held no worries as he knew in the far future, there was something which would still provide him with something along the same lines of Skill Points!
He wrapped up his thoughts as he came into a grand hall in the castle, the attending Infernals closing the doors as he finally had time for himself. He thought back to the First Infernal Realm where Draco remained alone, Noah sending the young Dragon a telepathic message to continue hunting the constantly spawning Infernals to raise its power. He would be able to leave the Infernal Realm from a Portal that was already established by Noah when the Harbingers were hunting Infernals themselves a few weeks back.
His other summoning skills were canceled as the only thing left in the First Infernal Realm was currently a Draconic Behemoth that was reaping the rewards of Skill Points.
With these things set aside, the Ancient Blood Clone began on the first pressing issue- using the technique he received as an Infernal Lord to cultivate the Law of Chaos!
He sat down at the center of the grand hall as he closed his eyes, spreading out his senses to cover his entire body and the surroundings as he activated {Disciple of Chaos}. This time, he made sure not even an ounce of chaos would show on his main body that was still moving in the Celestial Realm as [Unique Origin] was placed on overdrive.
OOONG!
A dark ripple of energy released from his as he cast this ability for the first time, this ripple of energy coming back in a circular fashion around him as it slowly began to vibrate.
RUMBLE!
This continued vibration seemed to be this circle, this Chaos Field, rapidly expanding and contracting as little by little, small dark particles began to appear within this field! These were the Chaos Particles that the {Disciple of Chaos} could form in a Chaos Field, the manifestation of chaos essence that would go on to reinforce them and their abilities!
Little by little, the reserves of essence that the clone was connected to were let loose freely as these small Chaos Particles began to appear en masse all over the Chaos Field.
The very surroundings trembled as the Infernals around the castle began to feel the convergence of the powerful aura of the Law of Chaos, respectful looks coming on to their faces as they went about their tasks.
Around the clone, it seemed like floodgates of dark energy were congregating as Noah felt a new source of strength continue to grow within him, his gaze going observing a new section on his stat panel that showed the constantly rising number of Chaos Particles!
[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant)]
[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor(Awakening)]
[Fate Line(s) : 26,653]
[Chaos Particle(s) : 420]
[Origin Core(s) : Fire-2]
[Vitality: VOID]
[Focus: - ]
[Strength: VOID]
[Law(s) : Water-11, Space-8%, Fate-.26%, Fire-11%, Chaos-.000042%]
The number of Chaos Particles was constantly shooting up as it changed from a few hundreds quickly and went above 1000, the convergence of essence around the area the clone was in only getting wilder as the skies above the castle began to darken.
The respect the surrounding Infernals felt only increased, while the 7th Infernal Lord Azula appeared in the skies as her gaze locked in on the castle Noah was in, a bright smile spreading from her face as the 8th Infernal Lord, the Infernal who was known as Rykker, also appeared next to her to watch this spectacle.
"He's at least got the talent to rapidly advance, don't you think?"
Azula said with a bright tone as she continued to observe the convergence of essence and chaos around the castle. Rykker replied with an impassive expression as he nodded.
"He had to at least have some ability for him to be able to stand on the seat of the 9th Infernal Lord. Besides, anyone cultivating the Law of Chaos using the {Disciple of Chaos} for the first time initiates a change like this. It will fade away soon enough as he falls along the same grueling cultivation journey that we all take. He'll hopefully gain some power in these next few years before the war breaks out."
Rykker said this with an unimpressed expression as the two Infernal Lord continued to observe the phenomenon in the air, waiting to see how long this convergence of chaos essence would continue to measure the genius of this new Infernal Lord.
Their eyes watched as their impressions gradually changed, noticing that the clouds of chaos particles were not actually reducing as time passed, but actually becoming even denser before they shot down towards the singular being cultivating within the castle!
"..."
"Well, I guess it's impressive now. It's been a few minutes, and with such a large amount of chaos particles converging, he can be considered a genius that has obtained a few thousand during his first session."
Azula only smiled brightly as Rykker said this, her gaze looking forward expectantly as more time passed, the surrounding cloud of Chaos Particles actually not reducing one bit, and were actually becoming even denser!
10 minutes!
30 minutes!
1 hour!!!
RUMBLE!
A tremor ran through the minds of many of the Infernals in the Second Infernal Realm, many of them already noticing the stupendous phenomenon of intense convergence of chaos particles that only continued to get denser and denser.
Rykker's face had turned ashen as even Azula looked forward in shock, the implication of holding the convergence of this mane Chaos Particles that continued to descend into the Castle having ahuge significance!
Similar to Fate Lines, those that were truly proficient in the Law of Fate would condense a few hundred or a few thousand Fate Lines on their first initiation of {Fate's Disciple}, whereas they would be limited to condensing a few tens of Fate Lines or at most a hundred every day there after. This created a very long and arduous journey for those cultivating Supreme Laws, where they had to find other means like influencing the lives of millions or reaping the lives of beings proficient in the opposing Law of Chaos to increase their cultivation rapidly!
This concept stood the same for the Chaos Particles of the Law of Fate, which was why the two Infernal Lords were shocked, as they could presume the number of Chaos Particles being condensed should have long ago passed ten thousand, and it did not seem like it was stopping!
Rykker couldn't help but let out an exclamation as he watching this confounding phenomenon.
"What the hell is this?!"
