Chapter 407 - Purpose
Along the dredges of history, the knowledgeable beings knew that the Infernals came to everyone's knowledge in the Battle of Righteous, standing against Celestials as in this battle, one of the weakest Infernal Lords fell.
Since the battle was ended by the monstrous Terror, things have been in a constant state of conflict as the Infernals stood against the forces of the Celestials alongside the beings of the Dark Expanse. One side apparently stood for order and balance, the other was created for chaos and destruction!
But...the many memories that Noah was granted told him a bigger story than just that!
The Infernals and the Celestials, the Celestial Realm, or really its true name- the Central Realm that is closest to the true center of the Novus Galaxy, and the many creatures that are being cultivated within it. They were all connected!
The beings called the Founders simply named themselves Celestials, and also named the Realm they chanced upon as their own- simply calling it the Celestial Realm.
But the true identity of this realm was something much grander, something that the Celestials did not and could not actually lay claim to!
But it was because of this Realm that they were able to obtain the powerful techniques and treasures that placed them in the position of power that they were in today.
The way that they used this power though...went on to directly go against the universal laws, and thus the Infernals came to be! Their rise was a singular effect from the actions of the Celestials, the spawning of multiple Infernal Realms across the Novus Galaxy coming to be for the single purpose of balancing the flow of fate and chaos!
The Infernals stood for chaos and destruction, but their true purpose was actually something that the Celestials regularly spoke of as one of their main ideals.
The true purpose of the Infernals was to actually...bring back the original order and balance that was gradually being tipped by the Celestials!
This was just what some of the shocking knowledge that the privilege of the Title of Infernal Lord told him, the information overhauling his world view and numerous possibilities of how he would move in the future were already blooming in his mind.
For now, he followed and listened to the words of the 7th Infernal Lord Azula, as he looked for the description of the Infernal Lord title that was not incoherent symbols anymore.
[Infernal Lord] (Variant) :: A special existence born for destruction and chaos, all in order to bring back balance. A holder of this title is granted powerful knowledge about the true nature of the Novus Galaxy, but restrictions exist which prevent them from acting on this knowledge as they remain strictly in the bounds of their purpose. This Variant title makes the user a unique existence that bypasses this restriction. Among the abundant knowledge obtained, the user has obtained the cultivation and martial techniques for the Supreme Law of Chaos.
A long description of immense proportions laid out in front of his eyes as much of the things he knew were affirmed, all of the information flowing through his mind also going towards the Planetary Systems as they themselves had adopted a somber atmosphere.
The title of Infernal Lord brought with it knowledge and a special entity into existence, but it also brought Noah the gift of something that only Celestials have had the pleasure of enjoying these past thousands of years!
It also gave him something that was unique to the Celestial Realm, an Inheritance of the Disciple of Chaos!
This Inheritance would have been something that he had to search for and brave horrendous dangers from the region where powerful Chaos Behemoths moved, but the Infernal Lord title granted this Inheritance as a by product.
One must know that this was an Inheritance at the level of a Supreme Law, and was most likely at the same level as the Inheritance that the Celestial Founders had come across in the Celestial Realm, the same level of techniques that they had used to strengthen themselves for the last thousands of years!
Yet now, Noah had obtained a similar level of techniques, and his sword that was aimed towards them had become even sharper as he received a clearer directive as an Infernal Lord.
But...he also gained a better understanding of the powers of beings that he was playing with. He knew that the weakest Infernal Lords in this Second Infernal Realm were at the World Rank, the mid ranked Infernal Lord at the realm above that, and the strongest Infernal Lord that took the first seat was a whooping 2 realms higher than the World Rank.
This was just the side of the Infernals that he was now on, and the terrifying thought to realize was that even with such a force, in the battle more than one thousand years ago, an Infernal Lord had still fallen as they faced their enemies- the Celestials.
This showed the horrendous power that the Celestials carried, especially so for the Founders that stood at the peak of this organization!
This made Noah realize no matter how fast he thought he was advancing, no matter how quickly he shot through the ranks, he was still utterly and completely outmatched by these powerful beings that had been alive and cultivating for thousands of years.
He did not even come close to matching the strength of a single Celestial Grandmaster that had more than 600,000 Fate Lines, his own lines of fate just amounting to twenty six thousand! This was not to even mention the creature...the being that stood at the top of the Celestials and the millions of Fate Lines that they held.
This realization made Noah shift his mentality on his rate of progress, throwing out any sort of pride or sense of accomplishment he had for getting so far in the span of a few months.
Yes, nobody had risen as fast as he had in power. Nobody had amassed the achievements he obtained, his latest one of obtaining the title of Infernal Lord being even more unique. But...in the grand scale of things as he looked at the many shocking memories this title brought...he was extremely weak!
So he continued perusing through the numerous shocking cl.u.s.ters of information as he planned for a plan of advancement in the future that would leave the speed he had been advancing so far in the dust.
He would occasionally think himself powerful or overpowered as he strolled around and even began threatening entities on the level of planets. He thought this was some great accomplishment, but there existed experts like these two Infernal Lords at the World Rank that had the capabilities to destroy planets!
No.
He was not powerful!
He was not overpowered!
Not yet, not by a long shot!
His eyes shone with a dangerous l.u.s.ter as he threw aside his old foolish thoughts and looked at things on a grander scale. Why feel a sense of achievement for being connected to a few worlds? Why feel happy for barely mastering .26% of the law of fate and amassing just 26,000 Fate Lines?
What was stopping him from moving actively to connect himself to tens, hundreds of more worlds? What was stopping him from using his unique Planetary System and finding new ways to rapidly increase his mastering of laws? What was stopping him from truly becoming overpowered?
RUMBLE!
It felt like a dam had broken loose in his heart as intense ambition and goals sprouted forth, the shocking new knowledge he obtained going on to cause something even he did not fully know the effects of!
