BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236 - SS-RANK!
-----
A pile of shiny crystal balls rested right before Noah.
Each shiny crystal ball was a white color, shining brightly with a milky and creamy color, like coconut milk.
Noah grasped one as its essence seemed to encompass him.
He glanced at it, as a strange ethereal liquid within it waved around the more he moved it…
All of Noah\'s party was around him, each one had a gigantic pile of these crystal balls, Attribute Value Cores of S-Rank!
They needed many of them to get into SS-Rank, in normal terms, it would take years to reach this… And even then, those at SS-Rank are so mysterious that not many had seen them, and it is presumed that several of them had gone missing as they delved into dungeons and never came back…
But they had acquired so many thanks to the effect of Blood Cores, with increased dropped items chances… to the point that it was enough for all of them to become SS-Rank right away!
They had just a few hours ago crossed the line that not many had crossed, and now, they were delving into SS-Rank!
The Noctem Family members couldn\'t help but smile, showing their sharp vampiric fangs…
"It is time…" said Noah, grasping the pile of cores with his hands, as all of them suddenly turned into ethereal, white-colored particles of light, showering his entire body with enormous quantities of energy!
Noah\'s entire body was encompassed by the powerful overflowing energy, as his entire body began to glow with bright white light.
The feeling of exhilaration continued as Noah decided to use the power he gained and made it flow through his body like a river of white energy.
The more he made it flow, the more power he acquired, it was overflowing everywhere, S-Rank Attribute Cores were insane in every sense of the word!
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
Noah couldn\'t contain his laughter as he laughed maliciously, he was undergoing a complete evolution of his very being, the feeling of ecstasy almost made him go even madder than he already was!
After what seemed like thousands of years but were in truth, just a few seconds, Noah calmed himself.
He glanced at everyone else who was undergoing these "changes", most of them were also feeling strange, some resisting in the ground while others like Iris were moaning in pleasure.
It was disturbing, but the amount of power they got was outstanding, and made up for it, for sure.
Noah felt as if he had been reborn, he felt anew, it was an outlandish feeling.
He sighed in relief, the power within his body was already above S-Rank… Yet, he was not completely satisfied.
No, he wanted more.
Noah decided to check his Status Panel, as he was amazed by the Stats.

…
4900! These were truly the stats of an SS-Rank!
Now, aside from some mysterious figures that never appeared in public, Noah was… stronger than anyone in the world!
And he was sure that there were no SSS-Rank Hunters in the world yet, as it was a speculated Rank due to the existence of SSS-Rank Gates.
And even then, if he were to fight an SS-Rank hunter… so what? He was confident in his abilities and on his pseudo-divine soul, alongside all he had cultivated up to now…
Wasn\'t he already at the top of the entire world?
The only challenge was not even Hunters, it was Gates.
Gates and otherworldly beings were the only true challenge, anything else was… resources waiting for him to pick them up.
A smile emerged on Noah\'s lips.
Why shouldn\'t he take whatever he wanted then?
Why shouldn\'t he simply do as he pleased?
Was… there any other reason to not do whatever he pleased now?
No.
Noah had no morals, there was no sense of guilt stopping him from going completely insane and doing all types of outlandish things!
If anyone dared to confront him, then they were free to come at him and his Guild! He would massacre them, devour their souls, and drink their blood!
Perhaps the power was getting into his head, so Noah decided to calm down for now and assess things better.
Nonetheless, no matter how much he calculated it… it always yielded in his favor.
With all the parallel minds he had, with his fast speed of thought processing… he still found that he could do as he pleased…
"Hm… Taking over the world and making all of humanity my servants do not sound bad… The amount of power I could accumulate by receiving their faith and prayers would be outstanding…" Noah thought, as malicious and devilish thoughts emerged inside of his mind.
As everyone finished, they were all SS-Rank, and their Auras of power exuded this as well.
"Wow… So now we are really at the top of the world, aside from Gates?" wondered Iris.
"More or less… And I have already thought about what we could do from now on…" said Noah, his malice knew no bounds.
"Oh~?" wondered Iris, a maliciously and cute smirk emerged on her lips, as she showed her sharp fangs.
Indeed, Vampires were now going to take over the world!
