Chapter 1273 - I'm Something Of A Reader Myself II
Noah truly was barely looking at the spectacular and bloody unfolding battle before him as to him...it didn't really matter.
He had already seen it and knew of its result, and he was only here for something he had to personally do before everyone's eyes at the end of this battle!
He had a plain book in his hands that seemed like nothing from all angles, with his Primordial Eye making sure of that as when he flipped this book...he read shocking amounts of information others only wished they had.
Over the past day, he had learned a great deal of things!
The words "a great deal" weren't even enough to cover it as from the vast reserves of Golden Destiny and Fortune that had been increased twice when he negated two Destinies were reduced by 1/20th and still slowly recovering.
It could be considered a negligible amount of Destiny and Fortune as it could recover in a day or two, but with the low expenditure of <Reader's Foresight>, it meant he had truly been reading a lot!
He read about Stormdust, Havenbreaker, Springforge, and even Halcyon as the things he knew about these beings was enough to fill dozens of chapters.
The path he saw from <Path to Victory> became even clearer after this past day as it was the reason why he was in the Cosmic Battlefield today watching as Halcyon and the one she called Aunty Springforge suffer a loss of 100 Cosmos.
In the next few minutes, the passage he had already read about of Halcyon looking at Springforge sadly as she dealt with the loss of 100 Cosmos would play out, where she told herself this had to happen in order for Noah to increase the rate at which he issued Writs of Challenges- the scale jumping from the 10 he last did to 50 or even 100!
Halcyon would say that this was what was required for him to slowly rise up in the Primordial Empire as he disrupted its status quo and caused the Family Heads and eventually Aegon to pay attention to him.
"But it will not play that way…" His eyes smiled with a sharp light as he thought of how he would shatter these expectations!
Since he knew of what was to come in the immediate future, he could maneuver as he wished while following the route shown by <Path to Victory>. No matter how shocking the route was, he trusted it as eventually...it would grant him the grandest victory.
Whether this victory was immediate in terms of treasures, or something he would receive much later as he set up the pieces for a resplendent destiny to unfurl before his eyes...he did not yet know. But it was victory nonetheless!
"Now…" His eyes shone as they left the gold pages and glanced at the bloody Battlefield that had limbs of too many existences strewn about, the scene of 3 Forefathers from the House of Havenbreaker chasing down the last remaining Forefather from the House of Springforge playing out.
"Ah…!" Under a barrage of attacks, this Forefather fell as at the center of the Cosmic Battlefield, the Primordial Light of Authority shone to grant the win to none other than the House of Havenbreaker!
"OOOOOH!" Resonant shouts erupted out from the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield as those sitting on golden inlaid seats rose up with fervor as if they themselves had participated in the bloody battle.
Glee and fervor could also be seen from those situated on the crimson seats of the House of Stormdust as when one looked at the green seats of the House of Springforge...there was utter silence and shock.
100 Cosmos!
This was the number that was collectively lost from them today!
To better grasp the significance, one had to understand that each of the three Houses had a range of 1,000 Cosmos under them, this number always rising up over the years as Aegon brought in more and more Cosmos.
As he rose in power and gained the ability to move Cosmos until to this day...he continued to bring in more and more of them as at this time point, each Family Head had under them around 1,000 Cosmos.
Now, Springforge had lost a tenth of this to Havenbreaker in a single day, the repercussions of today's event bound to be far reaching as they opened the doorway to even more brilliant and disastrous battles!
As the scene of Halcyon looking at Springforge's maddened expression currently played out, many were wondering of what future today's battles would bring as the biggest question was...how heavily would Springforge retaliate?
Would battles involving 100 Cosmos or more become common now as the factions of the Primordial Empire entered full blown war?!
These thoughts rang in the minds of many, but they were resounding the most in the minds of those most affected today.
"Halcyon."
In the verdant Realm where illusory screens depicting today's battles constantly flashed, the voice of Springforge rang out as after a minute passed when the loss of 100 Cosmos was finalized, she finally turned towards Halcyon.
She wasn't her usual naked self as a light green dress flowed down her curvaceous body, and one could see the visible rage and pain in her eyes as she spoke towards Halcyon.
"This Daolord Osmont you saw will solve the coming problems...I want to meet him."
WAA!
Her voice was firm as the pain within it was present even though this being was millions of years old! Today, one of her closest friends that she grew up with had effectively declared war against her and taken a tenth of her possessions, and she had very few allies!
Thus, she had to meet the being that had begun to step in the spotlight of the Primordial Empire- the one that Halcyon seemingly trusted with everything she had.
The golden eyes of Halcyon locked with Springforge before she nodded slowly, her gaze rising up to stare at the illusory screens that showed the scenes on the Cosmic Battlefield.
"I will talk to him…" She wanted to look at the being in question when she spoke, but her golden eyes opened wide with shock in the next second as she saw the reserved Daolord Osmont that had been reading a book nonchalantly this whole time actually rose up on the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield, his hand waving forward magnificently as it unfurled an enormous Writ of Challenge that grew to be larger than a Galaxy!
Being over a few hundred thousand light years, and given the fact that many beings were already paying attention to Noah, they very quickly noticed this phenomenon as the eyes of trillions of experts gazed his way- towards this unfurling Writ of Challenge that when they began to read it...their eyes began to tremble and shake.
Springforge saw the shocked expression from Halcyon as her eyes also turned towards the screen, landing on the now unfurled Writ of Challenge that held contents nobody would have even imagined to see!
It wasn't a Writ of Challenge that involved a shocking number like 100 that they just witnessed today from two battles.
It wasn't even double of the number 100 as those reading the Writ of Challenge didn't even have to look at the number of Cosmos involved- they just had to look at the Existence that was being challenged!
It wasn't directed at a Daolord or Forefather that oversaw a cluster of Cosmos...it was directed to an existence everyone knew by the House he represented.
Clear in red, the name Stormdust was shining brilliantly as Noah ushered a challenge in a way that nobody expected!
