145: A Glorious Return! I

A Glorious Return! I

In the crimson skies of the Abyssal Plane.1

Noah floated quietly as only Annalise and the Subjugated Blessed were beside him at this moment. The 14 powerful STAR Rank Units were recalled as their first expedition in the Abyssal Plane...he had decided for this expedition to come to an end.

Over a week had already passed at this point as they tore through millions of Abyssal Fiends, Noah's count for the number of Fiends killed being 1.1 Billion at this time.

1.1 Billion!

This number represented many things, as aside from the enormous amounts of Universal Law Crystals and Cores, it was a number that signified the beings that died through Noah's own hands. Can you wrap your mind around that? Someone reaping the lives of over a billion beings? And yet Noah was just getting started as to clear the mission of the Abyssal Plane Expedition...he had to wipe out 100 Quintillion Abyssal Fiends!

He had yet to come across Dao Crystals from these beasts as they remained as elusive as ever, the ones he received from the Fate Spirit the last time he got a chance to visit the Incandescent Fate Treasure Plane being the only Dao Crystals he came across.

When he thought about this, the image of the Dimensional Ruler that wanted to get her hands on the Dao of Destruction that he had neglected for over a week appeared in his mind, but he wasn't the least bit worried about this as at this moment, he had truly grown too much!

He had enough STAR Rank Cores to cause the fruition of over 20 Blessed at this Rank, and the number of Universal Law Crystals he received from the Idle Mode of all his current Rifts as well as the few dropped rarely from some STAR Rank Abyssal Fiends were simply astonishing.

He felt like a walking and talking back and his inventory was filled with glimmering loot, leaving him to only find ways of how to spend it!

Of course, it was given to the Blessed around him as Annalise was on her way to assimilating over eight Universal Laws, and his Subjugated Blessed were now ages stronger than anyone in their level as the Dimensional Ruler Chamberlayne had gotten much too ferocious.

But then there was himself. 

There was Noah and his own strength!

If one were to ask him in what aspect he was strongest, it would forever remain the strength of his soul and consciousness as in the past few days, he had gotten into the habit of utilizing the [Soul Devour] ability of the Ancient Mind Inherent Skill.

Through its usage, he found its stupendous effects as well as its drawbacks. One was the fact that the process of devouring the soul of another being ate up their Origin entirely, leaving nothing behind as Noah received no Loot or Skill Points for the Abyssal Fiends he used [Soul Devour] on.

But this was a small price to pay for the shocking results of increasing the strength of his consciousness and soul!

As his fighting style relied on his mental abilities, he had genuinely become terrifying as after absorbing the souls of millions of Abyssal Fiends, he found his attack power to have long since exceeded the power even a STAR Rank Rift Boss that was equivalent to 10 Blessed of the same rank.

He actually put himself against the Tyrant Light Dragon...and came out unscathed as he even bullied it!

To measure the scale of his mental strength after that as he continued to devour the souls and Origins of the Abyssal Fiends after that, he simply increased the number of Units that stood against him.

Two days ago, he endured 3 Units with ease. After these days passed and he devoured a few million more Abyssal Fiends, he was now capable of unleashing mental attacks so terrifying that even 5 STAR Rank Units could be beaten black and blue by him, purely through him utilizing abilities like [Ruler's Emenation], [Field Master], [Telekinetic Constructs], [Armament], and [Ancient Eye of Terror]...even the powerful Rift bosses could not stand against him. When paired up with the [Hive Mind] ability that allowed him to tap into the Mana Reserves of his Subjugated...he became a terrifying weapon!

All of it...due to [Soul Devour].

Noah had already designated this ability as the single most important one he had from his three Inherent Skills, standing far above [Hive Mind] as he wasn't sure whether it was bugged or something, but to allow him to endlessly devour the souls of others...wouldn't that mean he would be able to create the scene of being able to stand against a being of a higher rank with ease in only a matter of time?

Even if he didn't break through to the next rank, but his soul and consciousness were already much stronger than the being above him in rank and he reinforced it with his Dao of Destruction and all his laws...what was to stop him from dreaming of taking down a NEBULA Rank expert while he was still at the STAR Rank?!

WAA!

The mere thought caused his mental energy to leak as his surroundings trembled, Annalise towards her older brother with questioning eyes as he collected himself.

Yes. He had grown much too powerful in the Abyssal Realm in just over a week. So much so that when he returned to the Sublunary Plane...he expected no competition!

He just...had to do things cleanly and silently so that he didn't anger multiple conclaves of the Empyrean Dimensional Plane.

"As easy as it can be...let's go!"

He spoke out with fervor as he sent his thoughts to the Idle Gaming System, finishing the Abyssal Plane as the instant his thought was given, they were wrapped in a flash of light and disappeared!

Instantly shuttled back towards a silent Sublunary Plane that was about to be flipped over too many times in the coming days!
