Within a vast space and time only accessible through the use of a Cosmic Treasure, Noah's Primordial Ruination Clone appeared seamlessly as he held on to a pulsating heart.
THUMP!
With every beat, the heart seemed to resonate with his Origin as the source of this Treasure was something he didn't even know about a few minutes prior!
A Primordial Heart that was only condensed when a Primordial Beast was killed, these Beasts being things that actually devoured Universes and Cosmos to reach unshakable heights.
As Noah stared at such a thing, he couldn't help but have his eyes flash, the ability of Eyes of Truth being utilized!
[Primordial Heart] :: The culmination of the essence of a Primordial Beast capable of Devouring entire Universes. Its absorption allows one to choose the rapid proliferation of normal Galaxies or the change of Normal Galaxies into Dao Galaxies. The extent of how many normal or Dao Galaxies are increased is dependent on the level of the absorber, as well as the rank of the Primordial Heart…
A few details were given to him as much of it coincided with what the unknown existence had told him, much more of the information being gibberish that he didn't even bother to try and see if he could decipher!
But the main thing remained the same about this shocking treasure that fell on his lap due to the recent events...and it was the fact that Noah could now vastly expand the number of his Dao Galaxies within his Origin.
He didn't know if it would be enough to achieve Antiquity...but he would see soon enough its capabilities!
Before he began though...he smiled devilishly as he spoke out to the Cosmic Treasure.
"RUINATION, why don't we use Duplication on this gorgeous little Treasure?"
...!
[Yes, Master.]
Yes! One must not forget that among the many features of the Cosmic Treasure, one of them was Duplication!
Nearly everything could be duplicated with a few exceptions, and gathering from the reply of the Cosmic Treasure...this Primordial Heart was not an exception.
It meant that Noah could get his hands on two of such terrifying treasures as with this, Antiquity had to be guaranteed, right?
WAA!
A flash of crimson light flashed as the Primordial Heart was taken into the Cosmic Treasure within his Origin and <Duplication> was cast.
The crimson light melded into the surroundings of the Ruination Realm as even though it was shining with a shockingly bright luster, there was no difference in the surroundings! But it only took a few seconds as soon after...two glimmering multicolored objects were spat out from the Cosmic Treasure.
A seamless duplication had been carried out just like that!
[Woah. These things are ridiculous…]
The Cosmic Treasure uttered out after two Primordial Hearts were produced, and it was because to be capable of Duplicating anything, RUINATION had to analyze it and break it down before it could be reproducible.
Noah raised his brows as a second later, information flooded into his brain while he held on to two pristine Primordial Hearts.
"...!"
The information caused him alarm as it turned out among the treasures known as Primordial Hearts, they could be ranked based on which Primordial Beast they came from!
Young Primordial Beasts in the Universal Filament Realm had strength equivalent to powerful Antiquities as they produced Lesser Primordial Hearts.
Above them, more powerful Primordial Beasts could grant one Grand or even Cosmic Primordial Hearts as such Beasts needed powerful existences at the Cosmic Realm to take down!
And the Primordial Heart in Noah's hands...was a Grand Primordial Heart.
"Fucking hell…"
He couldn't help but let out an expletive as his eyes shone brightly, the boons he received this time around being too stupendous!
All of this from a single cast of Deus Ex Machina and the descent of an Antiquity that was behind it. It was such a surreal thing that he even wanted to thank both the Antiquity and unknown existence for making things so exemplary for him!
But his shining eyes focused as he gazed upon the two Primordial Hearts before him, his mind settling as in the vast and crimson Ruination Realm, he sat down while holding onto these Grand Primordial Hearts.
Treasures so profoundly and unique that he fully expected Antiquity to be in reach even with just one of them, much less two!
The focus of his Primordial Ruination Clone would be on this as his main body and clones had many more things to take care of.
One of these was the continued teleportation of existences from the remaining Universes that were affected by Amalgamation, Noah not wanting to put the situation of these Universes go to waste as he increased the quota he needed before he could upgrade the Universal Core!
There was also the need to see how things would play out in the Primordial Cosmos after such a terrifying set of events, as well as his newly established Vassal...the Oathkeeper who held a Cosmic Treasure.
Even aside from all of these things, Noah still had another thought that caused his eyes to shine with a glorious light for the future...and that was the thought of utilizing [Protagonist's Bookmark] on either of the two beings that had appeared before him!
Either the Antiquity known as the Great Usurper, or the more likely selection being the unknown existence that came and left him with a Primordial Heart!
The cool down for the Protagonist's Bookmark would finish in a few days as when the time came, he would make the choice then.
When he thought of carrying out the Bookmark on the terrifying unknown existence though, a sense of apprehension filled Noah's mind as even though no beings were able to notice him before when his soul descended unto them, this existence had too many things he didn't understand for him to apply these same standards to her!
But he would deal with this when the time came and as always...after he had discerned destiny and fate.
"For now…"
THRUM!
A gorgeous eruption of light suffused the surroundings in an intimate manner as Noah began to utilize a Primordial Heart for the first time.
