Chapter 107: Stepping into the Void of Space! II

SHAA!

Noah's figure materialized out of the Shattered Planes Rift as he appeared in the waiting room.

His body palpated with a shocking amount of power as he breathed out slowly, his two days in isolation and constant farming having paid huge results!

With 4 PLATINUM Units in tow as well as his own strength, he disappeared from the waiting room and returned to the Ethereal Realm.

Only two days had passed, but the changes were widespread as Noah had left Annalise and Rose with a great deal of loot from the Iron, Bronze, and Silver Rifts that he was collecting resources in Idle Mode from.

He appeared within the Imperial Castle as his aura was quickly picked up by his Subjugated Blessed and the two women currently overseeing the progress of things within the Ethereal Realm. The two girls had tired eyes as they seemed to be working as much as they could, Noah entering the expansive hall where the King's Throne was located as he discussed with them everything that had happened.

With the power of Subjugated Diamond Blessed under them, no Royalty or any unruly being had been able to do anything, and the only worry right now was resource allocation while keeping track of the many City-States spread out across the 3 Continents!

Noah thought of all of this work as he spoke.

"Use the Subjugated Blessed more. They aren't just mindless beings after I subjugate them, they still have their thoughts and memories. So beings like Protector Chen and the past Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continent will still be able to take off a lot of the work on your shoulders. Give them broad commands and leave it to them to work out all the minute details!"

…!

The eyes of the two girls nodded at his words as Noah smiled. He planned to check out the new [Devolve|Evolve] ability that pertained to Subjugated beings when he finished with his plans in the Void of Space, his thoughts already drifting away to this as he waved his hands and caused the appearance of hundreds of Diamond Cores and the few Platinum Cores he had just received from clearing the last floor of the Shattered Life Dimensional Plane, along with 20+ Diamond Skill Books and Equipment- a majority of them being of the Life Element!

"Increase your strength in the meanwhile, as we truly don't know what could be out there."

He ignored the immense shock these two girls showed on their faces as after catching up and managing things from the Imperial Capital, he left all the work to others as the delegation and division of work to manage the large Realm was in full swing!

As for Noah himself, he disappeared from the Imperial Castle as his body took to the skies.

The feeling of stepping onto the skies and floating across still brought Noah joy to this day, but it didn't seem particularly enjoyable on a day like today as he was shooting across the skies and heading higher and higher!

This time around, he would finally explore the boundary of this Realm after being transmigrated into it all this time!

SHAA!

He crossed the layer of clouds as the higher he went, the heavier than the air around him felt. It felt like the very skies themselves were getting thicker and pressing down unto him, but his vibrant mana at the PLATINUM Rank circulated throughout his body as the pressure reduced, his figure continuing to go higher.

This phenomenon increased as the minutes passed, but his sharp eyes were soon able to see...a glimmer of darkness from what seemed like artificial light! He saw a clear transparent barrier...that held behind it the dark void of space as twinkling stars could be seen from far away.

"The Realm Boundary…"

Yes! He had actually reached the boundary of the Ethereal Realm, his gaze serious as he waved his hands to call forth the Light Sentinel.

RUMBLE!

The powerful Unit appeared grandly, its towering size bowing towards Noah as it turned into a streak of light to cover him fully. It was the cast of [Equipment Guardian]!

WAA!

When the golden light died down, Noah took the look of a miniaturized armored Sentinel as his entire body emanated a golden light , every part of him covered from head to toe as he nodded while utilizing the abilities of the Light Sentinel.

In the skies, his figure and aura utterly disappeared as the ability of [Invisibility] was cast!

After that...he fearlessly and slowly approached the boundary of the Ethereal Realm. He was moving with immense caution as he didn't want to overestimate himself or underestimate his enemies, knowing that past events might not necessarily repeat in the future.

Even though he crushed his enemies easily in the past, it might not be the case for the ones he met later! SO with caution and while still being hidden, he approached the boundary and came in touch with it, feeling immense restriction that his power and the power of his fused Unit very easily crossed.

In a second, Noah crossed the thin barrier of a Realm as his body felt slight spatial light, going from a Realm and into the void of space!

"..."

He was breathless when he opened his careful eyes, and this wasn't just because there was no air in the void of space. As a being at the PLATINUM Rank, his body could fully adapt to such an environment as small basics like needing air were nothing to him.

He turned around as his powerful consciousness slowly swept out around him, his eyes turning towards a hidden fold in space behind him where he could see a purple light shining out. This hidden fold in space...was the entrance to the Ethereal Realm!

Many Realms were like this, being spatially isolated lands that were more protected than the Planets and Stars and floated out in the starry space. If someone wasn't actively looking for a Realm, they wouldn't be able to find one unless they accidentally ran into it.

Noah didn't want his enemy to have any such chance as after marking the location of the Ethereal Realm, he calmed his heart while closing his eyes, fully placing his attention on the abilities of the Telekinetic Emperor as his consciousness silently and slowly rolled out in waves!

He would check his immediate surroundings first to make sure no foreign beings were close before he proceeded outward.

WAA!

Silently, his awareness spread across the starry space as he enjoyed this wondrous feeling, his powerful consciousness covering a few miles in an instant as he still continued, still not feeling his limits yet!

Seconds passed as he found nothing, his heart becoming calmer and calmer as it meant whatever enemy was coming wasn't that close! Him destroying the communication medallion as quickly as he did might have just saved them from being found, a second later meaning something different.

He began to feel the strain on his consciousness a few seconds later as he was about to pull it back and cross the starry space while slowly searching in other regions, but this was when his eyes constricted as he sensed a fiery aura moving slowly, stopping every second or two to scan the region in front of it!

RUMBLE

Noah's heart turned firm as his mana cycled rapidly, his attention becoming focused in this area as he very carefully sensed to see the figure of an irritated middle aged man, this being having particles of fire swirling around him as within his hands...Noah could see a medallion that looked very similar to one he just destroyed days ago!

…!

His mind buzzed as he actually found the being that was coming for the Ethereal Realm, and he found him before they were able to get close to the region where his Realm was hidden in the folds of space, being over 20 miles away as Noah knew with another day or two, this being might have been able to carefully scour this region of space as he found what he was looking for.

'Only one?'

Noah remained calm as he spread his senses out slightly further, straining himself as he found no other creatures aside from this being in this area of space!

He still didn't make a move as for the next few minutes, Noah just casually watched the movements of the enemy searching for him as he ascertained many things. The aura he left off, the fire particles constantly dancing around him, his facial expression...

'Platinum Rank, proficient in the Law of Fire, very irritated.'

Noah thought to himself simply as he didn't rush forward guns blazing, only beginning to move towards the enemy after half an hour had passed and he watched this being exhaust his mental energies and floated in space to recover.

At this point, Noah nodded to himself as he let out a breath, his figure encased in the power of the Light Sentinel beginning to carefully move towards the target he had been watching this entire time!

All things were accounted for! He had watched and observed for any surprises for nearly an hour! Now...he would make a move as he planned to incapacitate this being in a short period of time and subjugate them in an even shorter period of time.

Barely any waves of mana erupted as he began to move, Noah's consciousness ready to call the descent of 3 more PLATINUM Rift Bosses the moment he came to surround the enemy!
