Chapter 918 - The Architect Of The Dao Of Summoning!
"Valentina Aurelius, at your service."
…!
The curtsy from a woman of such a level was a terrifying thing to receive, Noah affirming his thoughts as he truly looked towards this being again.
Her dark hair and eyes shimmered as liquid essence floated near them, Noah fully looking at this expert that should be at the Universal Realm!
Not even an average Universal Realm Hegemony, but one that had actually been capable enough to birth a Dao that she applied to a whole Universe!
Noah thought carefully about how he could be standing in front of her right now, the culprits of course being Deus Ex Machina as well as...the [Increased Universal Fortune] that the Universal Realm expert, Valentina, had mentioned.
As he stared at the shocking figure that had revealed her identity, his eyes scanned her up and down as it truly didn't match with the image he had in mind of a powerful Universal Realm expert that could birth Daos!
She saw his expression as she seemed to read his thoughts, her alluring voice coming out with a smile.
"Oh? Are you wondering about my personality? Do you think someone like me should be cold and domineering?"
RUMBLE!
With these words her figure exploded with might as her face became expressionless, becoming icy cold as she grew over 1000 meters in size, coldly staring down towards Noah.
"That I should gaze upon everything with immense pride and arrogance and think I am above all?"
…!
Her body then shrank down to 2 meters as her playful smiling expression returned.
"I could do all that, and I have taken many faces and personalities over the hundreds of thousands of years. But...I always come back to the personality of the girl I was when I began rising through the Realms of power, of the girl that looked towards every fantastical thing around her in wonder."
Her hair danced lightly with her reduction in size, settling down to reveal the ridiculously beautiful face and eyes that could swallow everything they saw. Noah looked at her closely as his voice rang out again.
"The creator of the Dao of Summoning...how exactly did I pop up in your radar?"
His question was one that caused the eyes of the expert to shine brightly, her smile only becoming wider as she replied.
"The one that creates the Dao is closely intertwined with it, capable of knowing a decent amount about the beings that utilize it. Of course, there are too many creatures utilizing the Dao as one usually never pays attention to every single one, but it is easy to pay attention to the anomalies that arise."
"For me...the anomaly was the Dao of Summoning being utilized by a creature that controlled the destiny of an entire Universe, where I found my Universal Fortune densely increasing due to such a shocking reality!"
…!
Because the Dao of Summoning was closely intertwined to Noah rising in power, his strength exploding out when he began traversing the Dao from the techniques given to him in the Nexus Galaxy by Anastasia...all the things that Noah was able to access from using this Dao did not just benefit him, but also the being that birthed it!
Noah recalled the words under the [Architect of the Dao] as he arrived at this juncture.
<Architect of the Dao> :: A title given to those that have birthed their own Dao. It allows for the Architect to benefit from all those that utilize their Dao, where depending on how it is used to affect the Destinies of living creatures- they can gain Increased Comprehension and Assimilation of all other studied Daos, Increased Universal Fortune, and Golden Destiny. If the birthed Dao Utilization is expanded to the scale of a Universe and fully comprehended by the majority of powerhouses, the Architect gains ●●●●● ●●●●● ●●●●●…
Reading the definition again, Noah realized that Valentia was able to benefit greatly from his actions- where aside from himself, he even spread this dao for all his subordinates to also utilize. That was the strongest experts of a Universe increasing their strength through this single dao, the one that birthed it having an explosive increase in Universal Fortune and turning their eyes towards them.
"From this, I was able to further find out more anomalies when I focused on the being blessing me with such dense Universal Fortune, and you can imagine my shock when I find out he can not only contract with double the normal about of summons, but that he even had the Universal Emperor Slime that had been the last of its species to be in the Animus Universe."
…!
"But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't locate what Universe you were in or how to find you- which was extremely vexing, mind you. It meant I had to wait for hundreds of thousands of years for you to rise up in strength before you were even capable of crossing Universal Barriers, and that you'd somehow end up coming to the Animus Universe or that I'd find a way to locate you after some time. After all...with Universal Fortune, many things are made possible!"
RUMBLE!
"But here you are...I actually didn't have to wait a large number of years and through our connected Fortunes, I was able to find you just as you stepped into this Universe. Wondrous, don't you think?"
Her words were all that Noah could focus on as he nodded while getting to the crux of the mystery that got him where he was right now.
"This Universal Fortune…"
"Yes, something that only Universal Realm Hegemonies that have created a Dao should have in such large quantities and quality, and yet someone like you at the level of Galactic Filament has such a dense amount of it...peculiar, don't you think?"
RUMBLE!
The figure in a white dress spoke with a smile that could collapse nations as she continued.
"Either you're a creature that is just anomalous in the entire Cosmos, or if I didn't know any better I would say you've birthed your own Dao. Which is not something that should even be possible or in any way be true, right?"
…!
With a smile that seemed to be innocently asking for something, the Universal Realm Hegemony laid out a shocking question.
