Chapter 920 - The Request of a Universal Hegemony! I
"From what I know, Universal Hegemonies cannot act against those of the lower levels or even fight against each other unless absolutely necessary…"
Noah's voice rang out lightly as the Universal expert he faced replied quickly.
"They cannot directly act, but they can influence others greatly! Similar to how the Old Geezer influenced the Bloodline Races to start a Slaughter a hundred thousand years, or similar to how I influenced the little Monarch you were facing- I didn't directly act against him, I merely caused a spatial displacement that just happened to bring a special someone over here- and even then, it neared the extent of what I could do without triggering the Oath that I agreed to long ago."
"Of course, if the majesty of a Universal Hegemony is ever disrespected with them being attacked by a lower ranking being, they can act freely to wipe out the offender. This is a rule that not many know, and it was placed to make sure that the authority of Hegemonies was never disrespected! So unless you go out of your way to stupidly attack a Universal Realm Hegemony...they won't truly be able to land a finger on you."
…!
Her words were filled with information as Noah nodded, his eyes focusing on her she continued.
"Seeing as how our goals are going towards the same direction and sensing the increase in my Universal Fortune, I know you've made your decision. Would you do this lady the honor of talking to me in your true form?"
RUMBLE!
A light smile could be seen on Valentina's face at these words, Noah looking towards her sharply as he questioned!
"Why wouldn't this be my true form?"
"Among the information I could glean from the being affecting an entire Universe while utilizing my birthed Dao...was the fact that he was human. Which makes it even more interesting to see you now as a genuine dragon…"
Her words were tinged with teasing as Noah merely nodded his head while sighing. This expert in front of him could not act against him, and was even proposing help! The results of Deus Ex Machina were stupendous as they had actually introduced Noah to a Universal Realm Hegemony helper!
His essence coiled around his body as he utilized his Birthed Lesser Dao of Subterfuge to shake away the false form and return to his original body as Noah!
---
Unruly.
That was the word that crossed Valentina's mind when she saw Noah's true form for the first time!
When she compared it to the majesty of the dragon...the human form actually seemed to release an aura a notch higher, the true body of a being always revealing who they truly were.
As her eyes locked on the eyes of the being in front of her, she could sense such immense confidence and calmness when staring towards her that she wondered just who was the Universal Realm expert between them!
Even when he found out her identity and knew her Realm of power, this being had barely batted an eye as he only continued nonchalantly!
'What exactly gives you such confidence? What other secrets do you keep within that domineering exterior?'
Valentina's thoughts were many as there were truly too many things about the being in front of her she didn't know about.
"Noah Osmont."
RUMBLE!
Short and sweet, the meeting between two unlikely beings fully beginning as Valentina nodded with shining eyes.
"Osmont...very well! I'll start with the gesture of good will first. Here is the first technique that all Universal experts master to hide just how much Universal Fortune they hold, as such knowledge is immense power!"
WAA!
Waves of essence freely flowed out from Valentina as a bright multicolored Crystal formed in front of her, Noah recognizing this crystal as it was extremely similar to other Inheritance Crystals he had come across in the past!
It flew towards him as he grasped it in his hands, the crystal shining brightly as the light within it began to be absorbed by him until not an ounce remained and it shattered into particles of light.
> :: An ability very few beings have the chance of utilizing. With it, one can observe the Universal Fortune and Destiny of those around them. It also allows the user to mask their Destiny from others and shield their Universal Fortune from prying eyes.
A fairly simple skill, but one with shocking capabilities! Noah activated it right away as his body began to vibrate with light!
"It might take you a few days to master, so we can use that time to get you familiar with-"
…!
Valentina's eyes constricted as she saw the vibrant and towering Universal Fortune swirling around Noah to tremble before disappearing entirely a second later, his eyes looking over his body up and down as he seemed like any normal being at this moment!
"You…" Valentina had a surprised expression at this being mastering a skill in seconds, seeing the eyes of this being land on her as they shone with bright golden light.
This was Noah utilizing the skill on her!
When Noah did activate > while looking at Valentina, his eyes were finally able to see a wondrous sight for the first time- it was the sight of golden lines surrounding the small figure of Valentina, these golden lines coming together to cause a raging storm of Fortune that swirled around the body of this being and stretched out multiple meters!
RUMBLE!
A second later, Noah watched as the swirling storm of Fortune quickly faded away, the voice of Valentina ringing out.
"I have a tad bit more Fortune than most other Universal Hegemonies due to my work with the Dao of Summoning. Many dangers turn into opportunities as my advances forward have been faster than others...and the problem I've been facing the past tens of thousands of years, I've now met a champion that can help me resolve it!"
Her face curiously looked at Noah who continued to exceed her expectations, clapping her hands as the clouds below them and the skies above trembled vigorously.
"Let's get started. The Holy Lands of the Supreme Bloodlines, the Bloody Battlefields Galaxy Cl.u.s.ters, the Bloodline Races that can be your allies...we have much to discuss and plan on how exactly we can break the Influence of a Universal Hegemony!"
RUMBLE!
The clouds and skies roiled as they formed into something majestic, Noah receiving a calling from a terrifying expert as a stupendous adventure lay before him!
