Chapter 48: Before me, they are nothing! I

There was a common understanding that the older someone was, the wiser they were.

The wisdom came from the fact that they loved a long time to experience a great deal of things! Their wisdom came from the collective memories and events they lived through.

Memories...were extremely important!

So when it came to Noah's second ability from his Inherent Skill ||Mind Dominator||, the ability known as Mind Connection was an extremely terrifying one.

In the Dark alleyway where few Blessed passed, the Horned Serpent swallowed the three dead bodies as it disappeared in a flash of light, the only ones left behind being Noah and the two girls...along with the Blessed from the Dark Continent that was now kneeling in front of Noah!

His eyes were those full of submission, a glint of blue reflected within as they seemed to speak of their new master.

"Get up and look at me."

The Blessed instantly got to his feet as he stared deep into Noah's blue eyes. There was a flash of light as Noah cast [Mind Connection] for the first time.

RUMBLE!

A weak fluctuation of energy erupted in the outside world, but it felt like a bomb had gone off in Noah's mind!

The cast ability allowed for the Subjugator to link with the mind of the Subjugated, their memories and everything with their mental processes being shared!

…!

Noah felt his mind throbbing as information flooded into his mind. Information of a village the Blessed in front of him used to live in.

Memories of how he grew up. When he became a Blessed. His first battle...everything about the being in front of him entered his mind as he nearly blanked out for a second.

The hands of Annalise and Rose landed on his shoulders as he was brought back, his eyes glimmering with light as from this encounter...he had truly obtained a lot!

Revenge against a killer! Wiping away his shame! Finally...gaining the first Subjugated Blessed that was actually one in an enemy camp.

"Continue acting as normal. Rykker and the other two in your squad went for drinks and you lost them. I'll call for you when needed!"

His voice was cold as he talked to the Blessed in front of him, this being bowing his body respectfully.

"Yes, Master!"

SHAA!

The Blessed disappeared from the alleyway as he distanced himself from his new Master to return to his task!

Meanwhile, the two girls were filled with emotions for what had just occurred as Noah pulled them along from the darkness of the alleyway. He truly had a great deal of things to digest.

From the Mind Connection with the enemy Blessed, he was able to find out about some of the operations of the enemy in City 8, as well as more information on the Dark Continent and how they moved in to attack them!

The Dark Continent was just as vast as the Light Continent, its lands being much less prosperous as their City States always fought for resources.

Of course when it comes to prosperity, it's not just in terms of land or vegetation...but Dimensional Rifts!

There weren't as many Rifts in the Dark Continent for Blessed to dive in and obtain treasures, and it was one of the reasons for the war that had just begun.

But Noah put aside all of this larger information of the Continents and the forces the Blessed had seen as he focused on the City he was currently in.

He focused on City 8, and the GOLD Blessed that was currently presiding over it- a being that he didn't know before!

"Golden Commander Stefon."

He uttered the name to the 2 girls that he had returned with in the Elegant Pearl Inn.

Golden Commander Stephon!

The being that dropped from the skies and caused the submission of everyone in the city that was below his rank. 

This was the being that was currently overseeing the operations of City 8, and also the one that handed off thousands of Cores and Equipment to the forces of the Dark Continent daily from the hard work of the Blessed of the City.

Many thoughts and plans formed in Noah's mind when he thought of this character as he continued to talk with the two girls.

"We'll move around the city mostly during the day and won't be active at night. The places for us to avoid…"

From the memories of the Subjugated Blessed, he knew much about the infrastructure of the enemy army as he planned accordingly, letting the two girls know about every pertinent information!

After he finished, he gazed at them with intense eyes as he opened his mouth while speaking in a heavy tone.

"That Golden Commander Stephon is just one among the many GOLD Blessed under the forces of the Dark Continent. Us taking down some Silver Blessed or even aiming to take him down in the near future...it will be something that makes us enemies of the forces of an entire Continent, and will undoubtedly be dangerous!"

RUMBLE!

The air in the room changed as the girls gazed at Noah.

"I do not plan to remain at the bottom rungs of power, and I do not want to ever be forced to kneel again. For this...I will do all I can to wipe out every single Blessed from this City, and I do not plan to stop there as I know there are much more powerful beings aside from this GOLD Blessed that we face as an enemy!"

Noah was telling the girls of his plans, he was telling them that he was setting himself on a dangerous mission where he wanted to change himself and rise through the ranks of power, a mission that would be filled with powerful beings trying to kill him!

Annalise looked at his face with red eyes after killing the killer of their parents, her voice ringing out with a chill as her Inherent ability unconsciously came out.

"The SILVER and GOLD Blessed carrying out acts of atrocities are just pawns. I...I want the head of the one that commanded them, brother! I want the head of the so called Dark King that sent pawns to easily take the lives of others as they see fit!"

RUMBLE

Annalise surprisingly had even more rage than Noah, where even after the death of the SILVER Blessed that was directly responsible, she wanted the most powerful being at the very top to answer her judgment!

At this, Noah's eyes shone brightly as he answered unhesitatingly.

"It is just some powerful Blessed calling himself a King, against my System...against me, he can only be a nobody!"

RUMBLE!

Domineering words were released from Noah as he denounced the Ruler of an entire Continent!
