When it came to the uniqueness of the Blue Slime, Noah had many questions for its future growth as much of them revolved around the path of Runic Dao Lines and Edicts, and exactly what happened when the Blue Slime devoured Daolords.
Would the branded Daos that were already consumed to become Runic Dao Lines be locked to the Slime as well? Would he be capable of doing what Noah had to do after he made an entirely new Trait and Race as he obtained both Daos and Runic Dao Lines from Devouring different Daolords?
These were only questions in the past, but Noah could find answers now as he glanced at the creatures with three pairs of wings erupting from their backs while utilizing both [Eyes of Truth] and [Understanding] from the Cosmic Dao of Fusion!
The result of the identity of these creatures...caused Noah's mind to buzz with awe!
[Tainted Ones] :: Existences of the current reality that are tinged with the Origin Blood of the Primordial Beasts that have the sole purpose of shattering this reality. The Origin Blood of Primordial Beasts is only obtained when they willingly release it while alive, and is no longer available when a Primordial Beast has its Origin shattered, such an action causing the final result of the coagulation of a Primordial Heart. Those successfully Tainted are granted a base increase of +25,000,000% to All Parameters and their Life Force extended by 100 Billion Years…
…!
Tainted Ones!
Existences that were actually aligned with the Primordial Beasts that sought to bring an end to their Reality!
'This Origin Blood…' Noah had a hint of worry as he read about the Origin Blood of the Primordial Beasts being the main ingredient to produce a Tainted One, and he worried about the Blue Slime that had just cast Universal Devouring to wipe out one of these things termed Tainted Ones.
BZZZZT!
The surroundings trembled madly after the Devouring was done, Noah noticing that even though everything should have been entirely devoured when the Slime cast its skill, there was currently a black object floating powerfully amidst the viscous body of the Blue Slime as it screamed out that it wasn't an object that could be devoured!
Noah quickly utilized [Eyes of Truth] and [Understanding] as the body of the Slime contracted to leave this obsidian circular object floating alone, its mere presence causing the surrounding void to shake fearfully.
[Coagulated Origin Blood] :: The Origin Blood of a still-living Primordial Beast. When the Beast is killed, this Origin Blood will fade away into nothingness. To be utilized, the consent of the Primordial Beast has to be given and the consent of the one accepting the Origin Blood also has to be given. Upon successful absorption, a Tainted One is born.
'Now this is new…' Noah's consciousness focused on this Origin Blood as well as the changes that the Blue Slime was going through after Devouring a Tainted One- a Daolord that had devoured the Origin Blood of a Primordial Beast!
He had to split his consciousness as on one side, the first ever loot that he couldn't freely utilize had appeared as on the other...the viscous body of the Blue Slime began to be covered with glimmering Runic Dao Lines after devouring a Tainted One.
Noah was merged with the Blue Slime as he could feel everything closely, his consciousness marveling at what he saw as he confirmed a shocking reality with the unique race of Universal Emperor Slimes!
This was because he could sense a myriad of Runic Dao Lines ranging from Lesser to Cosmic Runic Dao Lines branded onto the body of the Blue Slime at this moment, and at the same time…he could feel these same Daos that the Blue Slime had before still assimilated into his Origin!
For example, the Blue Slime had the Grand Daos of Devouring, Destiny, and Vastness among many others- along with the Cosmic Daos of Phantasm and Annihilation already assimilated. All of these Daos remained with the Blue Slime fully assimilated as from the Runic Dao Lines that Noah could sense being branded onto it…all of the above mentioned Daos were among them!
'Almost makes one jealous of this Blue Slime.' Yes! The unique race of Universal Emperor Slimes were enough to cause the envy of others as due to the ability of <Universal Devouring> unique to them, they achieved what Noah had to create a whole race and Trait to achieve as they could actually have Runic Dao Lines and these respective Daos still stay with them without any losses.
They could freely traverse the path of Runic Dao Lines by simply devouring other existences that had begun on them, and for as long as the Blue Slime didn't deconstruct any of its own assimilated Daos…it could also traverse the path of Nomological Edicts whenever the time came in the future.
"Father! I also have the assimilated Dao of Ruination and the Primordial Dao…!" The voice of the Blue Slime echoed out happily as the devoured Daolord that had turned into a Tainted One had to have these two Daos assimilated before they could deconstruct and reconstruct anything, and now all of them were under the belt of the Blue Slime as with this development, the strongest combatant below Noah was born!
Noah's consciousness showed his happened with the merged slime as the circular ring his Animus Summons had formed was released at this moment, the ever rising aura of the Blue Slime that was raging harder than any Daolords nearby blaring out madly as Noah's voice echoed out in the minds of his summons.
"Aid and destroy…rip apart any Tainted Ones you find as thereafter, we will tackle the Grand Primordial Beast with the others."
The eyes of all the Animus Summons shone with glorious beams of light as Noah said this, the scenes of the chaos all around being reflected on their eyes as from Noah, they understood that they couldn't stand against a Grand Primordial Beast at this moment!
ROAAAAR!
The Forefather and the two Foremothers could barely defend against it even with all their power, this beast showing a manifested Origin of thousands of Universes and unbridled strength that even those at the stage of <<A Glimpse of Edicts>> couldn't match.
So their targets were the Tainted Ones flying freely amidst the Chaos and ripping apart Daolords and Antiquities from the three Houses alike, Noah's summons coming to stand before the figures of the calm Adelaide and other women that were already behind the protective lines that the Emperor Penguin and Oathkeeper had formed among other Antiquities from Noah's party.
As Antiquities, they couldn't do much at this battle again Daolords turned into Tainted Ones as all they could do was absorb the experience they were being displayed.
"Move out!"
Noah's command resounded in the minds of the Animus Summons as while merged with his clones, they moved to match the existences that had actually placed themselves on the side of the Primordial Beasts.
They moved with fervor to match the terrifying existences known as Tainted Ones!
