Chapter 520 - Supremacy Lies in Laws!
Noah's mind was rapidly moving at the abrupt question and answer session, the powerful hand of the 1st Infernal Lord pressing down on him as not a single being replied to her question.
"To get to the importance of Little 9th, we must first understand and realize something about ourselves. Old 2nd, tell me- what is the realm of power of the being we oppose?"
The 2nd Infernal Lord stepped forward as he replied quickly.
"At the Nebula Realm."
"And what are realms of me, you, and Old 3rd?"
The 2nd Infernal Lord replied once more to a question that they all knew the answer of, many of them wondering where exactly this was going!
"Also at the Nebula Realm!"
"So then, our mission should be very easy right? Just a single being who stands at the same realm as us. We should wrap up this conflict and return to our abodes with ease yes?"
"..."
Silence met her again as even Noah's thoughts were rapidly churning at this moment, the hand clasping onto his shoulder feeling heavier and heavier as the voice of the 1st Infernal Lord became cold and continued.
"The answer is no. The reason for this is because we are weak...weak in the field of universal laws! Old 2nd, how much of the Law of Chaos do you and Old 3rd understand?"
"Roughly over half!"
"And how much of the Law of Fate does the enemy we stand against understand?"
A period of silence came once again as nobody replied. Noah raised his head as he glanced towards the face of this being as he had many questions in his mind, his voice actually ringing out to answer this question at this moment.
"Nearly 100%."
The 1st Infernal Lord unclasped her hand from his shoulder as she nodded, going on to speak about something consequential when it came to the levels of strengths in the Novus Galaxy.
The Realms of power themselves came with their own power, but the thing that separated true powerhouses was their proficiency in universal laws, as this was the ultimate decider of their true power!
After the War of the Righteous, the three Nebula Rank beings that made up the Celestials had fractured, and yet Aldrich, the remaining founder- remained alive and well as he now continued his reign after a pause of 1000 years.
Many beings feared his power, and even the Dark Expanse felt a heavy pressure from this singular being. Even though they knew there were three Infernal Lords at the Nebula Realm as well, they still felt this pressure! This was because they knew that the Founder was a monster when it came to universal laws, and it was the thing that truly made him a fearsome foe!
"So even the three of us can barely match one of him. It is shameful, but that is where little 9th here comes in. We have all been given distinct memories about each other and many different things, with my given memories surpassing all of yours. I know what makes Little 9th special, and I know that it will be him who will make it possible to bring back true order into the Novus Galaxy."
"..."
Shocking words were released from the mouth of the 1st Infernal Lord as he actually spoke of order, true order!
Noah's heart shook as he heard these words, one of the many futures he thought about being put on the spot light as the eyes of many Infernal Lord landed on him.
"Little 9th is special because his advancement in Universal Laws is faster than anything in our little Galaxy, but this isn't the only reason I called him and you all here."
The cold tone of the 1st Infernal Lord disappeared as her smile returned, glancing at Noah as she continued.
"What is the progress of the highest Supreme Law you have mastered, and how long did it take you to get there?"
The question was one that Noah expected as he followed her thought process, his heart actually becoming calmer as he replied.
"Close to 36%, and it has roughly been less than 2 months since I began comprehending the law."
"...!!!"
The other Infernal Lord looked towards him in shock at these unbelievable words, Azula looking towards him as if he was a monster! She had thought this new Infernal Lord excelled in his talent to advance through realms, but it seemed nothing compared to his progress in the Universal Laws!
"That is…"
Even the 2nd Infernal Lord who normally communicated with the Grand Mage Edrusim and had watched Noah's actions before was stumped as gazes of stupefaction continued to lock towards this singular being.
"In a matter of months, close to mastering half of a Supreme Law. The rest of us don't even need to be trying really."
The 1st Infernal Lord had a light smile as she began walking around, her gaze looking outside the terrace they were on to the grand metropolis around them as she asked Noah once more.
"How do you so easily advance through law comprehension, Little 9th?"
"...through taking the lives of Celestials."
Noah replied rapidly as his thoughts churned, his mind telling him of a shocking possibility if he was following the words of this mysterious woman correctly.
"Yes. And it just so turns out that a whole lot of Celestials are heading our way. Fortuitous, wouldn't you say?"
Her gaze landed on each of the Infernal Lord as she finally revealed the point she was getting to, her words revealing a shocking plan that made Noah's heart accelerate!
"You will match and defeat them, increasing your comprehension rapidly, but I do not want you to stop there. It is the reason why I gathered everyone here today- it is to let them know that they will be your helpers in this task!"
RUMBLE!
Domineering essence released from the 1st Infernal Lord as her glimmering white hair vibrated, her voice continuing to ring out.
"When the war begins and you all come across the Celestial Legions, kill all you come across...but restrain the Commanders. Restrain those experts and be sure to bring them all to Little 9th so that we can create a sharp weapon to stand against Aldrich in the shortest time possible!"
…!
Shocking words left the mouth of the 1st Infernal Lord as Noah's eyes shook, this being that seemed to know a lot about him and his abilities actually proposing something he never thought someone would be capable of doing to him.
The 1st Infernal Lord actually wanted to power level Noah!
