Chapter 1271 - A Myriad Of Possibilities, A Single Path! II
<Destiny Negation> was extremely unique in that out of the many possible paths one's life could take, one could choose to close off every single one as this action alone took the fortune and golden destiny from all of these paths and pushed them all into the one they chose.
News consciousness delved more into this usability and feasibility of this skill as his destiny and fortune flowed calmly into it.
Focusing on it, he was able to find out that the set destinies he could see depended on his own knowledge of the past, present, and future- which meant this skill had to be used in conjunction or closely with <Reader's Foresight> as Noah had to know more about what was coming before he could easily view his possible destinies!
The more information he had, the more paths or destinies he could observe. So when he willed his destiny and fortune to move into this skill at this moment…
WAA!
His two eyes that always shone too bright gained a layer of gold that nearly blinded him, but when he could see again...he saw three golden rivers that represented three possible destinies!
If he obtained more information of the future, he would be able to see many more paths! But even with just three, it would be enough to test the effects of <Destiny Negation>.
"The first possible destiny…"
His eyes that were covered by the color gold turned to the golden river to his left, information flooding into him as he saw glimpses of possibilities.
Because of his gaps in knowledge, the glimpses he saw were very blurry as they only gave the overall picture but with very little details!
In this destiny, he saw himself standing above the Primordial Empire...the body of an existence closely resembling Aegon being seen below him as his chest was ruptured, his Cosmic Origin spilling out its countless dimmed Universes.
…!
Only an image! It was only a single marvelous image as a moment after, another image appeared that caused Noah to come to a stop.
It was the image of the veiled Primordial he had met before appearing above him, her hands releasing golden strings that connected to Noah as in this Destiny...Noah replaced Aegon as the Champion of Reality after his death, forever resigned to guard this single Reality!
WAA!
The blurry images stopped there, Noah not being able to see any further in this destiny as his expression turned sharp.
"No."
This word was said with utter conviction and majesty as Noah felt his destiny and fortune move, <Destiny Negation> becoming activated as he denied this destiny for himself right away!
RUMBLE!
For him to forever end up as the Champion of Reality as a Primordial pulled on him with golden strings like a mere puppet?
The answer from Noah was a resounding no as the moment he utilized <Destiny Negation>> to deny this possible path, his vast but limited reserves of Golden Destiny and Fortune exploded within his Origin as Noah felt them nearly double.
A possible destiny forever closed off as its destiny and fortune were all sucked into him!
This was the stupendous use of Destiny Negation! His bright eyes were relentless as he looked at the remaining two paths he could see with the information he had, knowing that there were countless paths out there that were currently just not visible to his eyes.
The more of them he could see, the more he could deny possible paths he didn't want and greatly increase his reserves of Golden Destiny and Fortune!
His eyes tuned to the second golden river that had a revolting sight as Noah saw himself floating in the vast and endless river that represented Reality, his soul waking up from the anchor of the Nomological Edict of Samsara as unbelievably- his main bodies were destroyed as he faced his first death, but he didn't truly perish due to the Edict of Samsara!
He then saw the image of himself constantly utilizing Samsara to go back to set points in time, seemingly stuck in a loop as wherever time point he returned to...the enemy that had killed him would always appear to do it once more.
The veiled Primordial was always there and there were even two hazy figures around her, with the image showing an endless loop of Samsara...with Noah never moving forward.
"Rubbish!"
THRUM!
Noah's destiny and fortune moved as this possible destiny was also denied, his Universal Body glimmering gold once more as vast amounts of fortune and destiny flooded into him!
This possible path...was also forever closed off by Noah as he turned to the last one he could currently see.
It wasn't the only path left for him...just one of the destinies he could see now with the information he had! In this golden river, he saw but a single image.
He saw the figures of a veiled Primordial, Aegon, and wondrously- the Draconic-Elephant Primordial Beast that was Hyperion!
These three beings were floating above fractured Cosmos as far from them, Noah saw his figure hidden and glancing their way with a smile as he had a golden book within his hands.
He seemed invested in reading whatever this book held while also watching to confirm what was playing out in the picture!
"Now then…" Noah smiled brilliantly at this possible destiny as just this single picture said many things, and there were still boundless mysteries he didn't know within this path.
For this, he would need to do some significant reading.
He would have to know much of what was coming as <Reader's Foresight> would be a key tool!
With it, he could see many more of the possible destinies as when he denied those he didn't ever wish to have even as possibilities, his reserves of Golden Destiny and Fortune would grow.
And then apart from collecting the information and seeing the possible paths, there were also two more key skills that would allow him to have further control in a Battlefield with a Primordial, a Champion, and a Cosmic Primordial Beast that had a mysterious force behind it.
His eyes glowed with immense light as he gazed at Plot Control and Path to Victory in the status panel, the activation of <Destiny Negation> cut off as the single golden river disappeared.
<Plot Control> :: In exchange for a vast amount of golden destiny and fortune, the user can alter a single small aspect of a currently playing reality, a past reality, or a future reality. The price to pay is heavy as half of all current reserves of Golden Destiny and Fortune will be used to activate, and the ability cannot be used again until 30 days have passed.
<Path to Victory> :: Let destiny take charge and forge the best possible path for you. For as long as this path is followed, victory is all but guaranteed!
The two abilities to complete <Reader's Foresight> and <Destiny Negation> glowed brilliantly before Noah's eyes.
