Chapter 1032: 1032
Noah closed his eyes to feel his body in its entirety . The black star had become part of the innate absorption of "Breath" performed by the magical beasts . It gathered energy inside its core before turning it into primary energy that nurtured his tissues .
Yet, that primary energy appeared slightly different from usual . Its structure didn't change, but there seemed to be more power contained in its fabric . It was as if the dark matter had improved its nature, making it become a better nutrient for his body .
The same went for his blood . The black star filtered and improved its structure before sending it back in the blood vessels . Noah felt his body becoming stronger after every full rotation of the sphere, but the cause wasn't a superior amount of energy .
Noah felt purer . The dark matter elevated his tissues and nutrients toward a higher form of existence, distancing him from the labels commonly used to evaluate hybrid bodies .
'Quantity, intensity, and purity,' Noah thought as he became aware of the immense strength that ran through his veins . 'The cultivation journey has forced me to pursue different goals as my rank improved . I'm elevating myself now . '
Noah faced the ceiling as he recalled the images seen during his dreams . He didn't open his eyes, but he saw the stars calling for him . Both his body and mind had begun to walk toward them .
'This is too different,' Noah realized at some point . His mind was strong enough to give him full control of his instincts, but not feeling them concerned him .
It was as if he had become something entirely different . He didn't feel like a hybrid anymore .
Noah blew on his hand, and the world around him lost its light for a second before a small flame landed on his palm . His fire had turned black, and it released an aura that darkened the air around it .
Its power was on a completely different level too . The remaining crystals from the chrysalis fell apart as soon as Noah's fire appeared in the room .
'What have I become?' Noah questioned himself, even if he was sure that there was no answer . There was nothing in nature that resembled his species anymore . He was the first of his kind, and his potential was unknown .
The Demonic Sword soon barged in the room and greeted him with happy roars . Noah had tasked the Hive to feed it while he was in seclusion, but its show of affection appeared far more intense than the previous times .
A series of sheets and items laid right in front of his mansion . The Hive had periodically delivered news and materials that he could use during his seclusion, and Noah didn't hesitate to sweep through them .
The sheets quickly solved his doubts . He had spent fifty years in seclusion, which made him almost five hundred years old . Still, there were problems regarding the world's current situation and how that affected him .
Noah's return didn't go unnoticed, and many Elders of the Council had seen Skully flying together with an army of cultivators . Some had even noticed the runes on her body, and they couldn't help but link them to the legendary Kesier species .
The years after Noah's reappearance saw a stream of envoys coming to the Hive to request audiences and meetings . Noah's name often appeared in those, but the Elders dodged every question while they waited for him to come out of seclusion .
