A brilliant flash of blue arcs of light and a second later...silence returned to the starry space near the hidden doorway of the Ethereal Realm.
CRACK!
Glaciers of ice began to shatter, the force sending them floating in space as the shivering figures of multiple Realm Overseers and a single Dimensional Ruler came out unscathed.
Their eyes now carried a hint of a blue light as these powerful beings were already fully subjugated!
"Hmmm?"
Noah's eyes flashed with light as he let go of the neck of the subjugated Dimensional Ruler Tomen, his ridiculously strong mind going through the memories of this Dimensional Ruler as well as the Realm OVerseers below him in a matter of seconds as he obtained, isolated, and understood everything in a matter of seconds!
His eyes had flashed with a cold light as from these memories, Noah finally got a chance to see into the heart of one of the factions moving within the Sublunary Plane, as well as where they came from and how they moved.
The Dimensional Ruler he just subjugated was not even a local of the Sublunary Plane, being sent down for a trial as over half of all the beings that currently proclaimed themselves as Dimensional Rulers were just disciples from powerful Conclaves in the higher Empyrean Plane, treating this Sublunary Plane they were in as a mere playground!
They did whatever was required of them to do to complete their trials that mostly involved obtaining an abundant amount of resources from Dimensional Rifts. He received the memories of just this Tomen alone finding Worlds and Realms filled with innocent natives as he took over their Dimensional Rifts and used them as the disposable force to constantly clear the Rifts and offer the resources to him.
This was the method that many Dimensional Rulers used, granting them an abundant amount of resources in exchange for the lives of trillions of natives in the worlds and Realms they discovered and conquered as they were used as mere slaves!
The trace of coldness in Noah's eyes grew as he also received the memories of the locals of the Sublunary Plane, these being the descendants of the powerhouses that had elevated themselves into the Empyrean Dimensional Plane.
He considered these beings the same if not worse than the foreign trial takers as they were the ones that willingly took in any newly arriving Disciples from Conclaves in order to increase the power of their Factions and continue living as the most powerful monarchs of the Sublunary Plane!
"Pathetic…!"
Noah spat out as he thought about the Ethereal Realm that would have faced the same fate if he had not risen in power. The billions of beings within, he and his sister...all of them would have become mere slaves and subjects under the so-called Dimensional Rulers as they put their lives in danger daily to dive into rifts and give nearly all of their resources away to others.
At such a thought, the essence around Noah began to vibrate rapidly as around him, lines of fate shimmered brightly as he seemed to have made up his mind!
He looked towards the Subjugated Dimensional Ruler and the Realm Overseers as he spoke out coldly.
"Return to your Star Clusters for now and make the preparations for me to dive into all the Elemental Dimensional Rifts under your jurisdiction."
RUMBLE!
His words were an inviolable command to the subjugated beings as they nodded, their figures beginning to shoot out towards their domains as Noah only looked towards them calmly. Since the Dimensional Rulers enjoyed enslaving others and forced them to do their work, Noah would simply give them a taste of it as well while he dove into a myriad of Elemental Rifts and increased the sources of his Idle Resources.
He would move with purpose to do what he did just now- Subjugate Dimensional Rulers and those working beneath them as he then added all the Rifts they controlled into his Idle Gaming System!
The system of natives of Worlds and Realms being used as slaves that constantly farmed Rifts for nothing in return...it was such a distasteful thing to him as the world he came from had a system of Slavery in the past as well. He wasn't some benevolent Saint that would move to stop all injustices, but he would move to abolish something as distasteful as slavery while he also achieved his goals of adding numerous Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode.
WAA!
At his resolve, lines of fate thrummed dangerously around him as he spoke, his eyes flashing with glorious cerulean blue light.
"The Dimensional Rulers standing above others and the untouchable Conclaves in the higher Empyrean Plane...let's see how much longer you can lounge in your high seats!"
…!
With a flash of light, Noah and Annalise's figure disappeared as a new goal gradually formed in Noah's mind. The memories of Dimensional Ruler Tomen flowed freely in his mind as he acquainted himself with the many Dimensional Rulers within the Order of the Primal Dimensional Rulers, as well as the positions of the other two Factions and their forces.
He also thought of Catherine- the Dimensional Ruler he had connected himself to! This being had actually secluded herself to the singular Labyrinth of Chaos in the Chaotic Realm that he and Annalise just left for years, not going around conquering any worlds as she was a unique existence among other Dimensional Rulers that sought to only complete her trial to obtain the Dao of Destruction.
Noah would still utilize their relationship of give and take as for now, he would begin fully moving against the Dimensional Rulers spreading themselves across the Sublunary Plane as he took over the Rifts they controlled and abolished their horrendous system they had established across this Plane!
His first stop as he and Annalise disappeared from the hidden doorway leading to the Ethereal Realm were...the Star Cluster of the two Overseers he had subjugated after Drax controlled.
A spatial light flashed out in a certain region of space as he and Annalise reappeared in front of a cluster of stars known as Light Peak Cluster, an Overseer bowing towards Noah reverentially as without any word, he lead the way towards the Realm nearby that held an Elemental Rift.
Noah moved with precision as he and Annalise chugged Mana Potions along the way, the next few hours being spent running across multiple Realms and Worlds as Noah added more Rifts into Idle Mode!
He would expand his sources of Loot Resources so much that the idea of comprehending and assimilating laws in a mere day or two would soon become a reality…
