In Noah's very own mind space.
The ancient figure of the Usurper floated calmly as he dropped many bombs on Noah, the biggest one being the fact of all remaining to be the concept of a Champion.
That Noah's transmigrated soul that had been given the Idle Gaming System was being raised to stand in this Reality as its champion- standing against the powerful Primordial Beasts that roam the vast Seas of Ruination outside Galaxies!
"This…"
Noah was taken back as his mind buzzed with information, his thoughts extrapolating further as he thought of the certain chance of death that he had reduced to a mere 50% chance less than a day ago. Now, when he glanced above him and gleamed his destiny, he saw that his chance of death was further reduced by 10% just after he obtained this information!
It gave him the terrifying reality that was reinforced by the words of the Usurper. His death…was bound to be by the hands of the Primordials.
THRUM!
The same existences that granted him his System and were raising him would be the ones to kill him similar to the Usurper of the past!
"They would never let go of anyone that could traverse into Different Dimensional Realities, much less a Champion that is supposed to remain within their Reality and withstand the enemies that seek to devour Cosmos and break apart."
Like a hammer, the words of the Usurper rained down as they only caused Noah's eyes to become more somber. He…didn't see this outcome as a certainty, and he felt like he could change it!
"I'm not sure when they will be checking in on how the little pet they're raising for this Reality is doing, but when they do…I hope you are ready for what comes then."
…!
The ancient looking Usurper said such words as he raised his right hand, a decrypt broken looking golden sword appearing as it caused the surroundings of Noah's mind space to brighten up immensely.
"Then…there is this. This blessing, and also the profound curse that eventually caused my death."
The archaic looking broken sword released sonorous hums, the voice of the Usurper continuing to echo out.
"Through chance, I managed to obtain this broken Relic. An old thing that stems from the Main Reality where Primordials call their homes, and it was already nearly destroyed and shattered when I received it after it had been floating across multiple Realities for countless years. But this Relic granted me abilities that allowed me to traverse Parallel Dimensional Realities similar to the Primordials…the abilities I was able to pass on to you."
WAA!
"You can traverse Realities with the tight restriction you know of from the previous memories I left behind, but if you manage to slowly restore this Relic, you will be able to cross the boundaries of Dimensional Realities with ease and even stand against Primordials if they let you off their leash and begin chasing you."
The hands of the Usurper shimmered as they caused the shimmering broken sword to shoot towards Noah, sinking into his soul as it shuttled through space time to appear in Noah's main body that was a Dimension away and settling into his Origin as it began to hungrily devour his essence within!
"From my experience with it, one of the ways I've found that gradually leads to its repair is to feed it Primordial Hearts. With your current level of power, a mere wink from a Lesser Primordial Beast would wipe you out…so I suggest you quickly raise your power and use whatever unique system or perk of yours as a Champion to make as much headway as you can before your handler comes to see you."
One could feel the blatant disdain that the Usurper felt towards Primordials and their Champions, this being going as far as labeling Champions mere pets and Primordials their handlers!
Noah felt the so called broken relic that was slowly absorbing his mana within his Origin as he released calm breaths.
After all this, he truly had to calm himself down as there were too many things to think about and too many decisions to make. His eyes reigned in their sharp blue light as he looked at the Usurper that was still in his mindspace once more.
Even though this being was ancient, he didn't see him as that any more as he could see the disdain, pridefulness, and anger as from all the memories he collected of him. For the first time in a while since the Usurper had been giving his monologue…Noah spoke lightly.
"I want to first thank you for the Legacy you have handed down, such a thing allowing me to accomplish things I never thought possible, and now you have handed me even more with this Relic."
His voice was low, almost akin to a whisper, but it was resounding within his mind as his cerulean eyes locked with the remaining spirit of the Primordial Usurper.
"But I also want to tell you that I will not be like you. Maybe the Primordial will seek to kill me…maybe he won't. I will make my own choices and make sure that whatever direction is taken…I will be able to secure my life at the end of it all!"
WAA!
His words left behind tremendous strength as he bellowed them out loudly, and he did it this way as he was seemingly not just letting the Usurper know…but as if he was trying to convince himself that he could do what he proclaimed!
"..."
The mind space calmed after the resounding proclamation as the ancient figure of the Usurper smiled.
"Yes. You have to be different in order to truly succeed me. Peruse the memories more and you will understand more of the Primordials. My wish for the one who takes my Legacy to stand against those that killed me…I won't even have to ask it of you as you will be forced to do it anyways!"
…!
The figure of the Great Usurper began to flicker rapidly as the color gold suffused from it.
This was his last portion of a soul, and the last time that Noah would be meeting this being or receiving anything from him. Noah watched this ancient beings as he nodded to give his respects, his figure actually beginning to laugh boisterously as even his spirit was forever being wiped from existence.
"Haha! Their own raised Champion to stand against them…what a sight that is to see!"
THRUM!
"Haha!"
His raucous laughter continued as if they were ringing bells that foretold of the future, Noah watching the last moments of this ancient being calmly as right before he disappeared into nothingness, his eyes locked with his for the last time as they delivered a final message.
"I wish you luck…O Great Usurper."
ZAP!
Like a flash of light, he disappeared.
His last words were this ancient being handing off his title and name to another, Noah's vibrant destiny churning madly as it had begun to constantly change with the new information and treasure that he had just gotten his hands on.
A broken Relic that had stemmed from the Main Reality!
