BXBX NOVEL Chapter 241 - Noah's Resolve
-----
As two other couples were having some moments of passion within their private rooms, Noah had finished massaging Iris.
He glanced at her adorable face sleeping over the cushion, she was deep asleep, his massage had relaxed all of her beautiful and slim body, so much that she suddenly just fell asleep.
Seeing her sleep so peacefully filled Noah with happiness and serenity. Seeing the one you love to relax and be happy is always a beautiful feeling of fulfillment. After all, someone that loves another will always desire to have a happy and relaxed life.
Amidst a world filled with chaos and fights, Noah desired for it to all stop… for all of it to be in peace.
Deep inside his malicious acts and his desire for fighting and gaining power, since he began a relationship with Iris that he had desired that there could be one day… one day where he could make all of this chaos stop.
For all of it to finally be at peace, so he could enjoy the preciousness of life as it is, to smell the roses, to live peacefully and relaxedly with his wife, and with the offspring soon to come.
There was a feeling within his heart that beat all the greediness and maliciousness he possessed, a new intent, a new and greater desire, one that would lead him to do all kinds of monstrosities, all kinds of aberrant acts so he could achieve it… Something that moved his heart to even greater heights, a dream.
To find a place where he and his family could live peacefully and happily.
But could there be such a place? Such a chance?
The conflict would always come knocking in the door, beings desiring to beat him or defeat him at every corner, monsters emerging in gates, threatening the world, and the Watchers, entities even stronger than anything he had ever seen desiring to steal this planet\'s core…
Noah was not stupid, he knew that even if he escaped into another world, the conflict would one day come once more… The Watchers were not the only interplanetary entities that hunted the world\'s cores for resources…
He knew very well what he needed to do.
No matter how much he kept running away, nothing would be resolved.
And no matter how much he tried to find peace, it was impossible.
Nor he cared about peace in general, he was incredibly selfish, and only cared about himself and his family, everyone else would either become his servants or they would become his food.
A very simple thought process, but enough to move his heart.
And the more he glanced at Iris, the more his crimson eyes grew with malicious resolve, the resolve to tear apart all possible threats.
He was only going to run away for now.
But soon enough, he would come back.
He would seek power wherever he went to, and forge his path to the peak.
And he would continue to seek power while destroying anyone on his path, he would exterminate and conquer all threats until nothing was threatening him anymore.
The Watchers were on his list, of course.
This was not going to go as they plan, he was going to decimate them.
And devour them…
Noah closed his eyes as he sighed.
He didn\'t have to have such intense thoughts for the moment, his malicious bloodthirsty aura was leaking out, and it might wake up Iris or frighten the children within her womb.
He quickly relaxed his mind as he smiled, gently caressing Iris\'s hair, and then kissing her nose.
He walked away and went into another empty room, as he decided to evolve in there.
"Onwards to Level VI…" he thought. Everyone else would most likely evolve through the rest of the day, but he decided to be the first one.
Noah quickly decided to evolve right away, as the crimson-red ghost of the Blood Progenitor emerged at his side.
"Level VI is the last step before touching pseudo-demi-divinity… Which is Level VII," he said.
"Pseudo-demi-divinity… Are there more Vampire Gods than the Blood God?" asked Noah.
"The Blood God is the one above all Vampires and creatures in Abyss. He is the Supreme above the supreme. Stronger even than the original Gods that made up our world. But indeed, you could consider those above Level VII as "lesser Gods", at some point you can even develop something of a Divine Bloodline, enhancing your power even further…"
"Oh?" wondered Noah.
"But I never achieved this, as I didn\'t use my resources for bloodlines but to enhance my other capabilities. I also advanced through Levels hastily as I did something called Blood Rituals, where I forcefully fused my Mana Core with that of others… In the end, doing this abruptly only affected my cultivation, and at some point, I entered a bottleneck that I could not get through. And although I forced my way through Levels, I lacked many of the powers you develop in each one… I was in a rush for power," sighed the Blood Progenitor.
"I know all of that. And don\'t worry, I will make sure to get through each level and not hurry up things as you did… Even then, you reached Level XX, it is a big feat," said Noah.
"You\'re praising me now? Huh… Now that\'s weird," thought the Blood Progenitor.
"The achievements you reached are nonetheless notable. You put effort into them. Why wouldn\'t I recognize the effort of someone?" asked Noah.
"Hmph… Arrogant and yet gentle, what kind of men are you, Noah?" asked the Blood Progenitor.
"I am not a gentle person. I am arrogant and prideful. And a prideful person can also recognize another\'s efforts. It is part of my nature to recognize the power of others and see if they are deserving of serving me," said Noah.
"Heh, you have gotten strangely mature now," said the Blood Progenitor.
"Strangely? I suppose after all these events, my mind has changed a bit… But that is not of your concern," said Noah.
"Then what are you waiting for, Noah? Evolve at once and make sure to use my powers better than how I did," said the Blood Progenitor.
"I will…" said Noah.
As Noah was suddenly enveloped into a cocoon of blood, the Blood Progenitor recalled his past, and how he was trapped inside a Dungeon.
Although he had reached Level XX, his total power was diluted as he had forcefully advanced through the Levels by using a half-assed technique to fuse his Blood Cores with those of the Vampires he killed.
It worked, but the power he acquired was not as much as if he had advanced normally through the cultivation of blood, resources, and more.
And when he had thought that he could soon achieve the Realm of Demi-Divinity, due to his way of cultivating, he was never able to, as the bottleneck, he hit made his powers stop progressing…
And as he was suddenly caught in a scheme by the Heralds of Sun and his own servants who had betrayed him, his powers were absorbed by the powerful Sunlight formation, and then he was trapped in the space-time distortion, the dungeon, right after.
Now, Noah carried his Blood Core, which had changed being assimilated by the System and fusing with it, forming Noah\'s own System.
The Blood Core had changed now, and it would probably not follow the same rules as it did in Abyss… It had now become Noah\'s own power… something greater and deeply connected to his System.
He couldn\'t help but be expectant of the future, of the things that awaited him beyond all of this...
