The progression of Edicts was extremely unique as the more one used and became familiar with the Edict, the faster this number rose.
It wasn't just simple repetition though, as one had to experience the meaning of the Edict through their actions!
For example, Noah's Cessation had already risen to 3% in the past days while the newly born Kismet had actually gone past this and had a progression of 8%!
This was due to Noah only being able to experience the qualities of Cessation during the battles where he utilized it, and just him repetitively dousing himself in Cessation didn't mean his progression would shoot higher.
But Kismet…he could experience what it was every time he discerned destiny and used abilities like <Reader's Foresight> and <Path to Victory>!
He had been utilizing the former ability heavily in the past day as just this alone nearly gave him 8% progression, and it meant in the next few weeks…Noah would actually achieve a full 100% in this Edict.
This was progression!
Now, there was the unique Protagonist's Bookmark that took the experiences, comprehension, and progression of others as it made it one's own- so Noah obtained a straight 20% through this manner as his interrupted Bookmark on the Primordial had only given him 10%!
He kept this in mind as he delved into the Nomological Edict of Amelioration, feeling the green strand of a river that had just bloomed within his Origin as the essence of this Edict alone caused all the cells within his body to scream in joy and fervor.
It was an essence filled with an overabundance of life as it enriched everything about him, his eyes honing in on the +500,000,000% additions to Health and Mana Regeneration, and the +30,000,000% to other regenerative parameters.
The 30 million percent was actually the most wondrous thing from this Edict for Noah as he saw the rate of regeneration for his Golden Destiny and Fortune churned, this area that was entirely dry of regenerative boosts actually gaining them through this Edict as it further expanded Noah's future usage of Kismet!
Then there were its three Absolute Skills.
<Universal Heal> :: An ability that fully rejuvenates the life force of any existences in the Cosmic Realm and below for as long as a shred of their soul exists. For the one experiencing its effects, they gain a temporary boost of +50,000,000% To All Parameters for ten seconds.
<Life Force Destruction> :: The one that wields the essence of Amelioration can heal, but they can also destroy. This ability allows the user to wrap the essence of Amelioration around their enemies as they rip apart their life force and even swallow it for themselves. The essence of Ameliorations becomes utterly poisonous during the cast of this ability as it gains +20,000,000% True Annihilatory Damage.
<The Ameliorator> :: As a Healer, one must always be able to protect themselves. This ability allows one to be adorned with the crown of the Ameliorator as they take on a defensive form to withstand against their enemies. In this form, All Damage is negated by 95%, True Annihilatory Damage is blocked by 50%, and all forms of Regeneration are enhanced by 100,000,000%.
Beauty.
That was what Noah saw the Absolute Skills of this Edict- just pure beauty!
Universal Heal stood by itself as it didn't need to be explored, but <Life Force Destruction> and <The Ameliorator> were even more wondrous as The Ameliorator especially granted a high tier transformation!
Such an ability was wondrous as in exchange, it required immense droves of the essence of Amelioration from the user. For others, this would be an issue as to convert their pure mana into the essence of this Edict to constantly keep this ability active- they might be able to do this for half an hour or less before their Origins with millions of Universes were sucked dry.
But then there was Noah.
An existence that had no problem with mana as he had an infinite amount of it!
With it, this active ability that granted one negation of All Damage by 95%, the blocking of True Annihilatory Damage by 50%, and enhancing all forms of Regeneration 100,000,000%…Noah could choose to turn this into a passive one as he could keep it active at all times.
"Oh infinite mana…what ever would I do without you?" In the Ruination Realm, Noah had a devilish smile as one of his main human bodies came forward.
He was the same person as he shared the same destiny and fortune with his bodies, and Noah planned to have one of his main bodies keep the active skill of <The Ameliorator> into a passive one as it would be activated at all times for him to enjoy stupendous boosts!
This…was just one of the things that <Path to Victory> showed Noah.
For him to Bookmark Springforge of the Primordial Empire as the Edict she held would go towards elevating his strength to even greater levels!
The path didn't direct him towards Stormdust or Havenbreaker and the Edicts they held, and <Path To Victory> showed him to gaze upon these beings and read their stories as from them…he would be able to find out many things about Aegon and even Hyperion.
These beings were interconnected as Noah was seamlessly unveiling the secrets behind them, but he was now acting fully on his paved path aside from just reading as he achieved one of the pieces.
BZZZT!
Verdant green essence began to leak out from the human body that used to be the past Alexander as he called out lightly.
"The Ameliorator."
…!
The essence of Amelioration churned wildly as it borrowed from his mana, wrapping around his body in a stellar fashion as above his head, a unique crown adorned with bejeweled verdant crystals began to float above him as it undulated and released waves of gorgeous green particles over him!
The waves of essence came together to form into a crystal clear green armor that shone with stellar light all over his body, immense and overpowering life force erupting from this area as momentarily, even the crimson Ruination Realm was painted a beautiful green!
