He was wrong.
He would not normally admit it, but Hyperion found himself to have been very wrong about the existence he had only considered interesting!
The gaze of confidence and certainty he had when he spoke of profound matters wasn't merely arrogance and not knowing his limits, but they seemed to be entirely true.
He didn't lie about the Primordial Epitaph, he was capable of discerning it when he didn't have the Essence of Reality, and he bound himself by a contract to be capable of easily and quickly producing 4 completed edicts in a short period of time in exchange for the lives of countless Primordial Beasts.
Like any sane being that knew of the arduous nature of not just completing but just forming Edicts, Hyperion was inclined to not believe him! But after the contract and the gaze of this being still shining with utter confidence, he realized he had to admit his wrong perspective and reevaluate this being once more.
Of course, he would never admit he was wrong outwardly and give him the satisfaction, his ego was too high for that already! Even as Hyperion realized he would be working with this human more and more, he still reserved his calculating mind for any possibilities in the future as even the Flames of the GREATER Edict of Commandment binding his Origin were being investigated.
Relying on the strength of others would only ever lead to failure. He had seen this too many times.
'Even if this human is dependable, I still have to rely on myself to achieve what I want!' His voice thundered out in his mind as he watched the swirling golden essence around Noah die down, his face contemplative as he spoke out.
"I should have something to help with the generation of True Blood soon, but it's still in its planning phases as it is not concrete yet…shall we end our little research and development session here for now?"
His eyes seemed utterly clear and free of worries as if the heavy weight of becoming a Higher Existence, achieving the Cosmic Realm, and completing 4 Edicts did not lie on his back!
The Ender of Reality looked at this being with sharp eyes as a terrific thought rose in his mind.
'Why was the human not the one chosen as the Champion of Reality?'
WAA!
A terrific thought that would remain a question in Hyperion's mind! He was quizzical why it was someone like Aegon that at any moment now, he could break the will of.
But when he looked at Osmont…he still knew nothing about this being as even when he was a Realm above him, Hyperion couldn't say with confidence he could eradicate him if he was an enemy unless he went around decimating all the Cosmos within this Reality!
This being was similar to him as their wills were terrifying enough to be trying to forge their own Systems outside the help of Primordials.
If he was given a System by Cecilia and was already a Champion instead of Aegon? Maybe Hyperion would have been eradicated long ago!
'But that is not the current Reality.'
RUMBLE!
His thoughts caused his Sea of Destiny to churn as his will was reinforced over and over again, speaking out before the so called 'research and development' session was brought to an end.
"The bodies of the Champion and the Primordial above him…they contain an abundant supply of True Blood if one can manage to harness it."
…!
The True Blood contained in the Champion and the Higher Existence Cecilia.
The Tyrant smiled at such a suggestion from the Ender of Reality as he replied with shining eyes.
"It will not be just a declaration of War against Aegon, but against a Primordial at the Cosmic Filament Realm!"
"Ho? You even know this?" Hyperion raised his eyes yet again at Noah not just knowing about the Primordial above Aegon, but even knowing her Realm!
"I know some things." Noah waved his hands as he replied, his eyes shining ever brighter as Hyperion's words only further reinforced the ideas blooming within his mind for what he wanted to do.
Many possibilities were currently clashing against each other as a path slowly bloomed in his mind, Noah glancing towards the stout figure of Hyperion again as he spoke.
"I have to focus on and implement the possible solutions…do you care if I take the Tainted Ones under Stormdust before I leave?"
…!
The existences under Stormdust that managed to leave the Primordial Empire and slip past his hands. They held an abundance of cores and resources of Cosmic Resource Points that Noah could utilize to complete Edicts, so he spoke out as he continued to understand more of Hyperion's nature!
The Ender of Realities' eyes flashed as its tusks gleamed dangerously, looking towards the far away direction where a few hundred Cosmos remained as within them, countless powerhouses from the House of Stormdust who had betrayed their very own existence to side with the Primordial Beasts remained.
"Stormdust is the one still needed for the Last War, the rest are merely decorations. You can have them if you want."
RUMBLE!
Countless lives traded with the passing of a few words!
This was why it was crucial for one to rely on their own strength and never to just follow blindly…as all of those following Stormdust blindly would now find themselves facing a terrible fate!
Noah's figure nodded as he glanced at the dense liquefied essence around him, his eyes flashing brightly as he then began to float towards the periphery of the Primordial Sea where Stormdust and the Tainted Ones beneath him were situated either inside of their Cosmos or outside of it.
He knew what be had to do to achieve a System, and now he just had to go and fulfill the conditions for it as he would begin by spilling the blood of Betrayers in the very new homes they thought they would be safe in…under the gaze of the being they sided with who always thought of them as nothing but extras!
At the same time, his Universal Body looked at the figures of those closest to him in the Infinite Empire, watching the process of Bloodline Induction into his completed Edicts as his mind was bursting with many ideas for the rapid generation and production of True Blood.
To quickly become a Higher Existence, just exactly how would he cheat his way forward?!
