Chapter 105: Chapter 106:Trueself
Returning to his wyverns, Noah let them line up neatly, forming a circle with him at its center before bringing out Ouroboros.
The two looked into each other's eyes before nodding solemnly.
Noah looked into his mental space, where his fire of will had grown five times larger.
Taking a deep breath, he stopped suppressing his aura.
A powerful field of will energy materialized around him before turning into a halo of multicolored light that expanded to cover all the synth beasts.
The wyverns began to tremble and roar as their bodies glowed a shade of red.
A similar phenomenon happened to Ouroboros, although the latter did not roar or tremble, it remained rooted to the spot as it stared at Noah.
Noah, sitting cross-legged, pulled out a large number of strange pills.
Above his head, an Omega symbol appeared surrounded by two strange markings floating around it.
The first was the drawing of a wyvern while the second was that of a winged serpent.
"Resonate!"
With Noah's roar, the massive amount of pills floating around him rushed into his mouth.
As more energy entered his body, Noah, the hundred wyverns and Ouroboros began to tremble in a synchronized frequency, as he was increasing the level of his resonance with them.
Above his head, the two beast imprints began to shake enormously before a distinct sound of glass shattering could be heard.
The two symbols exploded, becoming motes of light that surrounded the omega symbol as if it were a planet.
One of the wyverns trembled before opening its mouth.
A red light shot out of its mouth, shooting straight into the motes of light.
The second, the third...
In an instant, all the wyverns shot red lights at the motes of light, turning them into a huge ball of red light that covered the Omega symbol completely.
Then, without warning, each of the wyverns began to explode before a blue light shot out of their bodies.
That blue light was the distorted seed.
The blue lights merged with red ball of light above Noah's head, causing his size to double.
Finally, Ouroboros trembled before opening his mouth before a drop of dark red blood surrounded by red light shot out towards the ball of light.
Unlike the wyverns, Ouroboros did not explode.
What he sent out was not only his will imprint but also a drop of blood essence.
Although it would take him a long time to recover after losing that drop, Ouroboros did not mind.
With Ouroboros' drop of blood essence fused into the ball of light, Noah also opened his mouth and let a drop of his golden blood essence shoot out into the red ball, completing the process.
The Omega symbol at the core of the red ball trembled before exploding as well, turning into a black hole that began to swallow the ball of light from the inside.
Noah trembled and golden blood poured from every orifice in his face but he remained focused on the ball of light that continued to shrink steadily.
The black hole devoured all the red light around it before shrinking to the size of an atom before exploding, releasing an immense amount of energy.
All of that energy reorganized itself in an orderly fashion, becoming a new bright red omega symbol that melted directly into Noah's forehead, returning him to his mental space.
Ouroboros' eyes contracted for a moment as he felt he now had an intrinsic connection with Noah.
They could now share a telepathic link directly and did not need to use words, their thoughts would be transmitted directly to each other.
Ouroboros concentrated and his body became a golden light that entered Noah's forehead.
Noah concentrated on his mental space and saw how it had now changed.
It now glowed with a red light produced by the Omega symbol that shone like a sun high above the mental space.
Countless illusory Wyverns were flying all over the place, surrounding the flame of will in the center.
Ouroboros curled up in a corner near the will flame before closing his eyes to sleep.
It seemed comfortable enough.
Even though the wyverns had lost their bodies, Noah didn't mind as he had a different purpose for them and they wouldn't need their bodies.
Now that they were in his mental space, he could use their willpower to power his own.
In theory, now that he had reached 100% resonance with all of his synth beasts, he could use 100% of each of their willpower to enhance the power of his own, turning them into enhancers that would greatly increase his willpower.
Several days later, when he felt his body had fully adapted to his new state, Noah re-entered his mental space and looked directly at the willfire.
"It's time to move forward."
Focusing on the willfire, he had his 101 beasts pour their willpower into his willfire constantly as Noah circulated the Primordial Omega Willpower Technique.
The willfire began to devour the willpower being thrown at it by the beasts as it shrunk more and more, contrary to what should normally happen.
The willfire was condensing as it used the willpower it devoured as fuel.
It continued to shrink more and more turning into a small ball of flames, until the point where it could no longer condense.
Suddenly, two red eyes lit up inside the fireball before it exploded, turning into a flaming humanoid.
The humanoid, whose eyes seemed devoid of any emotion, looked Noah straight in the eyes before releasing a wave of strange energy that sucked all of Noah's mental space inside before entering his spiritual sea.
The flaming humanoid passed all of Noah's soul barriers without meeting any resistance and plunged deep into his spiritual sea.
He kept descending further and further until he came in front of a small golden light surrounded by strange symbols.
That light should be impossible for anyone to detect since it was consciousness and was supposed to be protected by one's soul.
But for the Eldrtch, knowledge like this was their specialty.
As for the symbols, they were what made up his true name.
The flaming humanoid directly grabbed that golden light before smashing it against his chest.
Noah's body and soul trembled in unison and an unbearable dizziness that nearly drove him into unconsciousness assaulted his mind.
Noah did not allow himself to close his eyes and used all his concentration to focus on the process that was occurring deep within his soul.
The golden light melted into the chest of the flaming humanoid before a golden fire appeared in his chest and quickly spread throughout his body, turning all the translucent flames into golden flames.
As the humanoid's entire body turned golden, its eyes made of flames, which were previously devoid of intelligence, now became glowing.
Just at that moment, Noah completely lost consciousness and entered a comatose state.
Within the depths of his soul, the golden humanoid that represented his will, his ego, released a fluctuation of energy before the mental space that had been sucked out earlier appeared again, but this time it was lodged deep within his soul and was no longer in his brain.
Now his brain had no willpower at all and if one were to try to probe it, one would only think of him as a common mortal with no willpower.
Thus, Noah had managed to do something that even the very Dagon of his world could not do, create his Trueself.
And unlike the Eldrtch, he did not need to absorb the energy of negative emotions or the faith of others to do so.
The golden humanoid hovered in a fetal position in the mental space, now will space, for several months until one day, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Noah opened his eyes at the same time and an intense golden flame glowed in them.
"So this is what it feels like to have a trueself?
It feels a little weird."
Noah closed his eyes for a moment before two humanoids, one blue and one golden, emerged from his body.
The blue one looked like him but was made of a translucent blue flame.
This was the projection of his soul.
Because he had not yet formed his true soul, he could only bring out his soul projection and not his soul itself.
The three looked at each other for a moment before bursting out laughing.
They felt like their ego was one, it was like having their soul clone in one body.
Because their ego of was now inside their trueself, the golden humanoid became the core of their existence.
As long as it existed, it didn't matter if his soul or his body was destroyed.
With enough resources, sooner or later he would be able to recreate them again.
The blue humanoid and the golden humanoid turned back into two streams of light that entered his mind before disappearing.
"It's time for me to make my reappearance.
Surely that cheap master of mine will want to kill me after I spent so long away without returning."
Counting time, he realized he had spent two and a half years in this place.
Pulling out the space door, he opened a portal to the cave through which he entered this planet and returned to the small planet from before.
"I need a good battle."
Now that he had entered level 6, he needed to adjust to his new power.
...
The void battlefield was a huge deserted planet where the disciples of the various sects fought each other to the death.
Today, two rank six energy machinists were fighting each other to obtain a high quality genetic modifier that a level five energy machinist got by chance.
Now, the energy machinist was lying on the side, dead, while the two level six energy machinists were clashing constantly.
Surrounding them, seven red dragons were clashing against six golden eagles.
The energy machinist controlling the eagles managed to land a punch in his opponent's face, sending him flying.
With a big smile, he reached out his hand and was about to catch a small earring-like space device.
Just as his fingers touched the earring, a nimble hand snatched the earring from him before he began to play with it in his hands.
That energy machinist's eyes contracted as he sensed the other party's speed.
Noah stood in mid-air as he played with the earring.
He gave a smile to the two combatants who became alert and spoke.
"I see you are very interested in this earring.
Haha! Lo and behold, I'm feeling a bit frisky today."
Noah let out a laugh before swallowing the earring, not caring that it was stained with blood.
The two level six energy machinists, their synthetic beasts, and everyone else watching the show from afar fell silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one could understand the actions of this guy who appeared out of nowhere.
A second later, both level 6 fighters exploded in anger and both they and their Synthetic Beasts looked at Noah in unison and were about to attack.
"Tsk! Tsk! I came here to fight a good fight, don't let your pets interfere."
With those words, thirty giant wyverns, each a hundred meters tall, suddenly appeared, circling the battlefield as their gazes and auras locked onto the other side's synth beasts.
"Here's how it's going to go, either they join forces to kill me?
Or they can wait for me to kill them."
With his statement, the aura of a level 6 energy machinist exploded from his body and covered him with a golden aura.
