Novel Full Chapter 322 - Planet's Guardian!
-----
The miasma that caused the apocalypse! This poodle of primordial miasma… was the one that caused everything to change so much…
But how? How did it end here?
"It slowly seeped into the center of the world after the initial impact and over the years, it formed this immense sea of miasma… Don't worry, it won't easily take over me yet… At least it will take good hundreds or perhaps a few thousands of years to get to it…, But nonetheless, I can already feel myself a bit weakened… This Miasma seems to be packed with Chaos Attribute, a deadly attribute that disrupts other attributes and causes mutation, corruption, and contamination…" sighed the World's Core.
"I see, so that's how it is…" said Noah, realizing the truth. This was the miasma that brought all this chaos, all this apocalypse, all of this change… Before that, the world was not as devastated, there was still hope, humanity seemed to be prospering… Yet it all changed with this.
Noah didn't seem to harbor any hate towards this miasma, however, what had happened had already happened. There was no point in getting angry over a mass of slime.
However, he considered devouring it. Indeed! If he were to devour all of this chaos, wouldn't he be able to grow stronger? It certainly would bring him a large boost to his capabilities, one that he had always desired! Which included the mysterious element of Chaos!
However, how would he be capable of consuming it, to begin with? All of this quantity was insanely big, just like with fusing with God, his soul and body wouldn't be able to take it all and he would dissolve or explode and die.
For now, he needed to contain himself and come back here later, whenever he was to find himself strong enough to be able to confidently consume and assimilate this entire amount of miasma filled with Chaos Attribute.
"You're thinking about assimilating it?" asked the World's Core.
"You read my mind. Indeed. I was thinking just that…" said Noah.
"You should be able to… Your soul is not normal at all, it possesses certain darkness, a certain… chaos to it that no other being has. Or at least, not many. A normal divine entity such as God would end with his soul corrupted and weakened if he tried to absorb this. But you… you're fairly different, you wouldn't… But not yet, you require more strength, both in your body and soul," said the World's Core.
"I know… Now, show me the treasure," said Noah.
"Fufu, everything at its due time. First of all, your title," said the World's Core, as a flashing light suddenly was fired from her crystal body and landed over Noah!
FLAAAAASH!
Noah felt a sudden power surging through his entire body as the ray of light inscribed some kind of runes over his soul and body…!
And then…
Ding!
[You acquired the [Planet's Guardian: Earth (SSS)] Skill!]
Just as it came, the power faded away, but a new Skill emerged a powerful Skill.

…
"Interesting… This power is quite good. A fine gift" said Noah.
With this power, Noah was truly like the Guardian of the entire planet. The planet was now his entire domain, his battlefield!
He could even use the planet's power to seal part of the power of a foe temporarily, and even suppress them! Even more, he could also boost his power even more through this method, which meant that he could even deal with stronger beings than himself…
"Is this the power that Arthur had?" asked Noah.
"Indeed. Thanks to this power, he always came on top, even when he defeated the ancient evils of this planet's past. There were once used to be powerful Dragons, Demons, Vampires, and more. Born from people's fear, the same way that God was born from their worship. Arthur defeated the embodiment of people's fears and led them to a brighter future… Although your methods are different, I recognize you as someone worthy of this Title and power," said the World's Core.
"I see… For now, I will address you like Earth, for convenience's sake," said Noah.
"Very well, it is fine by me…" said Earth.
"Now, where's the treasure?" asked Noah.
"Here, it is saved within my core itself, you must enter through this door that leads to the inner palace of my Core, and there, you will find it, the greatest treasure of this planet, aside from myself, whose the Watchers are after… this treasure is something that they are not aware of," said Earth.
"Is this treasure… Something similar to Arthur's Excalibur? Because even after I upgraded it to SSS-Rank, it broke against Varus," said Noah.
"E-Excalibur broke?! …I should have guessed it, that monstrous dragon was way too strong… Do you still have the fragments? It could be reforged…" said Earth.
"I do have them," said Noah, showing them to Earth.
"I see… I think I have an idea…" said Earth.
