Noah was mostly thinking to himself as he affirmed his goals, the Gold Core he was throwing up and down landing on his hands as his eyes looked towards the figures of two girls that were brimming with power in the same balcony of the Villa he was in.
It was the figures of Annalise and Rose finishing their breakthroughs into the Gold Rank, Annalise being covered by frost all over her body as she released an icy aura that made her genuinely look like her inherent skill- an Ice Queen!
?
Meanwhile, peals of thunder and lightning surrounded Rose as her expression was dignified, her Inherent Skill as a ||Lightning Reinforcer|| also being elevated along with her rise to GOLD.
WAA!
The two girls opened their eyes at the same time as their bodies beautifully glimmered with gold, Noah looking towards them with a smile as even these two girls had come far from where they were before!
Noah patted his little sister's head as her eyes cutely turned defiant while she rose to maintain the demeanor of an Ice Queen, a smile of happiness present on her face when she looked towards her older brother! His gaze went towards Rose as he spoke.
"We know about the Legions and numbers of Diamond Blessed within the Dark and Wild Continent, what about the Light Continent? Aside from that Impartial Protector Chen, how many are there?"
Rose's silver hair that signified Royalty beautifully cascaded down her shoulders as the lightning around her dwindled, looking towards Noah with eyes filled with an untold amount of light and thoughts as she replied with a thoughtful expression.
"The number of Protectors that Father left behind...should be more than 15!"
RUMBLE!
The Ethereal Princess mentioned a number that was double what the Dark or Wild Continents each had, where they would only be able to match their forces if they allied together as they did!
Noah nodded with eyes shining with an intense light, speaking in a tone the girls found enchanting and domineering his body pulsed with power.
"Very well, in a few days, I'll move out to take on these Diamond Experts...with the battle for this Ethereal Realm not taking weeks or months as hundreds of thousands of Blessed fall to their deaths, but only the strongest peak Experts that began this war in the first place!"
RUMBLE!
His words caused the atmosphere to change as the two girls looked towards each other with shining eyes. Noah himself gazed out from the balcony of the Villa as he knew very well what he was doing, making calculations on how he would be proceeding in the Tower of Champion, Shattered Rifts, and the Infinite Crucible for him to obtain multiple DIAMOND Units in the next few days before he moved out with confidence to break the balance of this whole Realm.
"I'll see you girls in a bit."
SHAA!
With a light smile, Noah threw the Gold Core in his hands towards Annalise and Rose as he disappeared, returning into the Waiting Room where a great deal of Features lay open for him to utilize!
Noah moved to achieve his goal of having multiple DIAMOND Rift Bosses under him as the best way to do this...was actually the new Infinite Crucible that seemed to be calling for him by the side.
So long as he went into the Infinite Crucible and cleared the initial 40 waves three times, he would obtain 100,000 Gold Unt Upgrade Crystals from just the Tier 3 Treasure Trove. If he did this three times...that was the 300,000 Upgrade Crystals that he needed to obtain a Diamond Unit!
And what stopped him from simply clearing the 40 waves again after he collected his loot and restarted the Crucible? The answer was not a damn thing as this time around, he planned to farm until he left this place with a ridiculous amount of power.
A ridiculous amount of power that was only made possible through a ridiculous System!
Before doing anything else, Noah visited the Dimensional Store to buy the Unit Crystals of Aether Drakes to forge another Aether Half-Dragon to take the empty spot in his party that was made after the fusion of the DIAMOND Ranked Champion of Aether- Koddrys!
It was only after that when Noah went towards the enormous doorway that was the Infinite Crucible, seeing that to the right of it, a blue panel had appeared that showed his highest Wave cleared and its time of 4 hours, highest Treasure Trove obtained, as well as...the number of Crucible Points.
[Crucible Points](40) :: Can be utilized to buy Unique Loot in the Dimensional Store, or utilized to grant Blessings to oneself or Curses to the Dimensional Beasts that are applied until death is met or you choose to leave. Current applicable Blessings- [Enhanced Mana and Health Regeneration], [Poison on Attack], [Damage Modifier]... Current applicable Curses- [Mana Drain], [Mindless Frenzy], [Firebourne], [Darkbourne], [Speedy]...
A flash of interest passed through Noah's eyes as he focused on the Blessings and curses to learn more about them.
[Poison on Attack](40 Crucible Points) :: This Blessing grants the challenger of the crucible and his allies the ability to lay deadly poison on any enemies they attack with skills or weapons, this poison dealing 10% of their total damage as poison damage every second.
[Firebourne](40 Crucible Points) :: The Dimensional Beasts swarming within become Inflamed, becoming fused with flames throughout their bodies and origins as they deal increased fire damage with every attack, but they become more susceptible to any sources of cold damage as their resistance become heavily reduced.
[Darkbourne](40 Crucible Points) :: The Dimensional Beasts swarming within become steeped in darkness, dealing increased dark attribute damage with every attack, but they become more susceptible to any sources of Light damage as their resistance become heavily reduced. Defeating waves of Darkbourne Beasts grant much higher rewards.
"Well…"
A truly unique set of Blessings and curses lay in front of him, giving Noah many ideas on how to utilize them to get even further in the Infinite Crucible!
There were a variety of curses that dealt with the elements like [Darkbourne], [Lightbourne], [Aetherbourne]...if Noah created a full Light Unit Team in the future and bought the Darkbourne Curse, he would most likely be able to get much further ahead in the Infinite Crucible, with the rewards being even more abundant!
For the coming runs, he would save the Crucible Points as he just undertook his goal of farming the Tier 3 Treasure Trove for ore Gold Cores.
THRUM!
His body stepped into the gateway of the Infinite Crucible as he was carried away, returning to the expansive octagon floating in the starry space as he called forth his terrifying Units.
ROAAAR!
The first to arrive emanate ridiculous levels of power, the full fledged Dragon Koddrys roaring out with power as the Gold Units that came out after paled in comparison to it!
3 Aether Half-Dragons, a Frost Basilisk, an Equipment Guardian, and two Conflagrant Pegasi made their appearance as well, Noah commencing his second run of the Infinite Crucible as this time around, he sought to farm until obtaining another DIAMOND Unit!
[Wave 1 Commencing.]
RUMBLE!
Portals activated as a flood of monsters began to appear, the puny levels at Iron making the Champion of Aether look towards them with disdain, Aether bursting off of its scales as a bloody massacre of many waves began in the Infinite Crucible.
With the inclusion of a DIAMOND Ranked Unit, Noah thundered across the Waves of the Crucible as he reached the 30th Wave in just half an hour, and it then took him 2 hours to go through the throngs of Gold Rift Bosses before he returned to clearing the 40th Wave!
This time around, it felt much easier as his life or the lives of his units wasn't constantly under threat with the protection and strength of the terrifying Champion of Aether that was at the DIAMOND Rank.
Yet Noah kept to his plans as he gave up continuing the waves at 40, not choosing to endanger his life with tens of Gold Rift Bosses that would continue to appear after these floors as he didn't know what shockingly powerful creatures would have to be cleared on the 50th Wave. He gave up as his rewards were displayed in front of his eyes!
[40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.]
RUMBLE!
A shining Gold chest appeared in Noah's inventory, and this time it wasn't Tier 3, but Tier 1!
His clear time had been reduced so much with the inclusion of Koddrys that his rewards would actually be even more abundant!
[Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10,000 Gold Cores] [+150,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+40 Random Gold Equipment], [+100,000 Silver Cores], [+500,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]...
…!
Noah looked at the shocking details of the Treasure Trove as a smile could not help but break from his face!
