Chapter 1554 1554. Path
The blue spot morphed. It rose and took Supre Thief’s shape, who began to laugh before sitting on the ntal walls. The expert even patted the ground, and Noah didn’t hesitate to sit in front of him.
"Care to explain?" Noah asked in an annoyed tone.
He had a vague idea about the true nature of Supre Thief’s inheritance, but he wasn’t ready to believe him so soon. After all, both Supre Thief and Great Builder were planning to co back to life. That could also involve them taking control of other living beings.
"Do not worry, you unique fella," Supre Thief laughed. "It has never been my intention to hurt you. This is only a speck of my existence. I only happen to have far more power than you."
Noah could understand that point, but he didn’t dare to lower his defenses. Having part of a rank 9 existence inside his mind didn’t let him feel safe.
"When were you planning to reveal yourself?" Noah questioned the ethereal expert.
"My original plan was to manifest this shard of my existence when you were about to reach the limits of the eighth rank," Supre Thief replied while scratching his chin. "I was willing to adapt to your potential, but I never expected you to find right after entering the eighth rank."
Supre Thief then moved his eyes on the liquid dark matter keeping the area devoid of ntal energy. He appeared utterly captivated by the higher energy, but he managed to suppress his pulling force at that ti.
"You are definitely worthy of attention," Supre Thief comnted. "What exactly are you? I have seen countless unique creatures and breathtaking existences, but your foundation surpasses all of them."
"Why don’t you explain the nature of your abilities first?" Noah asked. "I already have too many techniques that I can’t control. I don’t want to add yours to the list."
"Right to the point," Supre Thief laughed. "You should have more respect for your seniors. I have been dead for eras, but you don’t want to grant a few seconds of your ti."
"I have the ghost of a rank 9 existence in my mind," Noah replied coldly. "You will forgive if I’m not ecstatic about this situation."
Supre Thief realized how uncomfortable Noah must have felt and stopped laughing. A serious expression appeared on his face for the first ti since the beginning of the conversation.
"Stealing is only a consequence of my law," Supre Thief explained. "The core of my true aning cos from my unfathomable greed, which is quite different from what you and your kind feel."
Supre Thief waved his hand, and the dark matter slowly flowed toward his palm. The higher energy escaped Noah’s control and beca part of that existence’s power.
"I have no idea how you obtained this fantastic energy," Supre Thief said while playing with the globe of dark matter that stabilized in his palm. "I don’t know how to create it. I don’t even know what it is. Yet, sothing tells that I would have obtained it if I had followed a different path. This simple knowledge makes this power mine."
Noah’s eyes widened. He didn’t clearly understand Supre Thief’s words, but his mind began to generate strange ideas.
"This power belongs to you," Supre Thief continued, "But what makes you the only one worthy of having it? You can’t be the only existence in the many planes capable of creating sothing similar, so why can’t I also have it?"
The strange ideas beca clearer. Noah didn’t know why his thoughts were moving in that direction, but he couldn’t deny them.
"What if I were more worthy than you?" Supre Thief asked. "Why shouldn’t I have this energy? I am more talented, so I can make it mine."
Noah’s aura burst out of his ethereal figure. A wave of mories fused with his ghostly body and carried a large chunk of the ntal sea with them.
The mories going from the first experints with the higher energy to the creation of the black hole resurfaced in Noah’s mind and appeared on his ntal walls. The many years spent testing that power appeared in front of Supre Thief and made him lose control of the lump of dark matter in his grasp.
"I guess it only works on unworthy existences," Noah stated while the dark matter seized by the expert returned under his control.
"Don’t overestimate yourself," Supre Thief replied. "I managed to reach the ninth rank, while you can’t even be sure about your survival. You are lucky I had no intention to steal your power."
Silence fell between the duo. Supre Thief lost interest in the conversation and began to inspect the various scenes played on the ntal walls. Instead, Noah was deep in his thoughts. He had understood sothing, but he didn’t know how convincing that theory was.
"Can you understand whether an existence has the talent to reach the ninth rank?" Noah asked.
"What do you an?" Supre Thief asked. "You must reach the ninth rank to prove it. Even Heaven and Earth can’t divine the full extent of our potential."
"You can steal almost everything and use it freely," Noah said while pointing at the expert. "You make up for the expertise and the years spent developing techniques with your law. You can generate power from almost nothing."
Noah then thought about a certain existence and explained his power to the expert.
"I know soone who can invent techniques out of thin air," Noah continued. "Even the world bends to his will to help him win challenges. He also lacks training and years spent in experints, but he makes up for those requirents with his law."
Noah then pointed at himself. His strange thoughts were clearer than ever. He felt as if he had found a profound answer that many experts in the world ignored.
"My law allows to skip entire stages," Noah explained. "I can also use it to boost my cultivation level and techniques. I generate power from nothing too."
Supre Thief smiled. A wave of coldness ca out of his figure, but excitent also seeped through those emotions.
"No wonder you managed to reach the secret area in my inheritance," Supre Thief said. "You are right. Rank 9 existences are worlds, which ans that they must be able to generate sothing by depleting their "Breath". It doesn’t matter how much power your existence contains. You can’t advance if your law can’t beco a source of any kind."
’Divine Demon’s Miracles are a requirent,’ Noah thought. ’Having a powerful influence doesn’t matter anymore in the eighth rank. I need to enhance the features of my existence that make ignore the laws of the world.’
Noah had found a path right after reaching the eighth rank. He could also share that information with his friend and prevent them from wasting centuries of training.
’Every divine existence must have the potential to perform sothing similar to the Miracles,’ Noah thought. ’The problem is whether they can turn it into a core part of their law.’
Supre Thief cleared his throat at that point. He didn’t want to remain in silence while Noah was deep in his thoughts. He would rather return to his slumber.
"Right," Noah said. "I believe I can’t kick you out of my mind."
"You can try," Supre Thief replied in an amused tone.
"Make yourself useful then," Noah ordered. "I don’t like to have no control over your ability. Tell how to activate you."
"You have always had control over this part of my soul," Supre Thief explained. "I gave it to you. This power is already yours, and the sa goes for its function. You have only forgotten my words."
Noah’s eyes lit up as he understood what Supre Thief’s ant. The expert’s ethereal figure then lted and fused with his ntal sea, forever becoming a part of himself.
’I guess I’ve gained another powerful ability,’ Noah thought while watching his dark waters filling that space in his mind. ’Luckily, I also have a guinea pig ready to test it.
