In the starry space near a Stellar Star of the Stellar Sky Galaxy, a beautiful scene of multicolored silver Star Pearls floating seamlessly in the air could be seen.
For figures were floating around these Supreme Grade Star Pearls as they absorbed them serenely, with Noah coming to a stop at this moment as he saw a bit over 200 remained floating in the starry space.
He had already absorbed a majority of the Pearls by himself, currently having over 1200 stars swiftly rotating within his Nebula. He wouldn't finish the rest of them as they should be enough for the Imperial Princess and her maids to continue absorbing over the next few hours, so he simply made the decision to move out and find some more Star Pearls for himself to absorb!
He did not feel any sort of limit as he forged more of them, so he would simply continue to do it until his very Nebula screamed that it couldn't take anymore.
He transmitted his thoughts to the Imperial Princess as her veiled figure broke her concentration to look towards him, a fairly reigned tone ringing out from her.
"Thank you for collecting so many of them for us. You've repaid my favor over and above as it seems I owe you even more right now." The thankful words of the Princess reached his ears as he didn't bother the concentrating maids, his figure disappearing silently as even the Protectors floating not too far from them only watched on.
"I'll regroup with you guys soon after I collect and absorb more of these Star Pearls." He left behind these words as he disappeared, delving further into the Stellar Sky Galaxy as he sought more Stellar Stars and even possibly Realms!
His physical prowess was currently extremely monstrous, his speed being pushed to ridiculous degrees as multiple skills from the Terror of Aether Skill Tree continued to make him ridiculously proficient in the field of space. When adding on to him actually comprehending the law of space, it just compounded as he was like a fish swiftly swimming through native waters.
He was a streak of light as he traversed the region they were in, coming across numerous stars as those termed Stellar were in the minority, but with half an hour he was able to see the silver shine of another Stellar Star as he descended down while covering his aura.
There were natives mining on this star as well, and he didn't want to waste any time introducing or explaining himself as essence wrapped around him as he caused his body to become smaller, miniaturizing himself to the size of a grain of sand as he then shot forth with great speed towards the earth of this Stellar Star!
His small size would allow him to drill through relatively unannounced as Eyes of Truth already told him the locations of all the Effulgent Star Pearls of this planet, and he would switch from the destructive Aether he used to dig through into the potent Life Essence to simply mine and place the Pearls in his Expansive Space.
But on his 5th Star Pearl on this Stellar Star where he was about to stow it away, he saw the inefficiency as even without plucking the pearl out, his tiny fingers landed on it as he began absorbing it right then and there, all the essence of this Pearl being sucked out in a matter of seconds!
He felt the formation of 10 extra stars as he nodded thoughtfully, continuing to go through the Star efficiently as he found the locations of these treasured Pearls and absorbed all of them without reservations.
After an hour, he had found and absorbed 150 more Pearls, easily amassing another 1500 Stars within his Nebula! The aura of sparkling darkness that descended after he reached the 1000 point continued to become ever denser and brighter, telling him that he could choose to try forming his Black Hole with relative ease at this moment if he wished as he had over 2700 stars within his Nebula!
This was an extra 1700 compared to the 1000 goal that many beings sought, even the most dreadful geniuses to be documented around the cluster of Galaxies near the Nexus Galaxy having the information of a powerful individual being able to forge as many as 2000 Stars before they embarked to form their Black Hole. It was a documented and researched fact that within Galaxies, actual Nebulae held around 700-1000 Stars, and that was where this magical number was contrived.
Going above it meant exceeding the known limits of a Nebula!
For Noah, as he saw the ridiculous usefulness of the Effulgent Star Pearls and the rate he forged his stars, his goals were extremely high as he asked himself- what stopped him from reaching 10,000 forged stars? Ten times what beings normally had before they broke through! But even further, what stopped him from going above and beyond?
Thus, his gaze remained steadfast as he emptied the hidden reserves of the Star Pearls of this planet as well, gaining over 500 Pearls instantly as the number of stars within his Nebula rose to 6200.
6200!
He felt boundless power as this was the equivalent strength of 6 Peak Nebula Rank experts all contained within him, causing his body's explosive speed to only increase as he moved from this Stellar Star and went on to find the next.
As he streaked across the starry space of the Stellar Sky Galaxy, he wished that this body also had the [Pocket Realm] that would have allowed him to use the abilities of his Infinite Realms that allowed him to find Treasures, but he could only rely on blind luck at this instance as he streaked across space.
When his thoughts came to this, he laughed as he recalled that he had an ability that was actually called Blind Luck, and as if wanted to announce itself at this very moment, his eyes picked up a silver luster at a far corner of space to his right, halting his direction as he went towards this light right away!
The light only became brighter and brighter as he neared, a bright smile blooming on his face as he found an enormous Silver Door seamlessly floating in space.
[Gateway- Stellar Realm] :: A gateway that leads to a Stellar Realm filled with abundant life forms…
His Protagonist Trait put in some work as the third thing he came upon wasn't another Stellar Star, but a grand Stellar Realm that should have been multiple times larger than any star!
This meant an even more exorbitant amount of Effulgent Star Pearls that he could mine with the highest grade, and it meant an even more shocking number of stars could be forged within his Origin. His grain-sized miniaturized body went forward and touched the gateway as he quickly disappeared, entering his first Stellar Realm that was filled with an even more beautiful silver-colored luster!
