Chapter 928: 928. Volunteers
Noah had created the spherical rune because he was experimenting on controlling the primary energy back then. Yet, the natives' inscription method had solved that issue before he could find another solution.
His spherical runes had become tools meant to enlarge his mental sphere at that point, and the primary energy inside them was necessary to avoid the discordant aptitude during the experiments with the living weapons.
The arrival of the higher energy had changed how Noah valued his assets. He didn't need to use the primary energy to create anymore, and even the runes that made use of it had become obsolete.
However, that was exactly how everything was supposed to work. The current state of his energies was in line with his individuality.
The primary energy was connected to his destruction. Creating wasn't its purpose, and it didn't suit its nature. After all, it was lighter than his other energies, which made it more fitting as a fuel rather than as a material.
Still, Noah's achievements with the Will-consuming runes weren't worthless. Instead, they opened the path for more spells and creations that would improve his battle prowess further.
Noah could generate more primary energy now that he had added Snore to his arsenal, and that would make the spells that depended on it more potent in battle. It was a cycle that made use of his creations to fuel abilities meant only to destroy.
Of course, they would require modifications to work with the new amount of energy, but Noah had improved both in cultivation level and experience with his creation. Upgrading the saber-shaped runes was easy, especially since he had added them to Snore's body too.
As for his spherical rune, Noah could only think of a way to turn it into a training method for the sea of consciousness. He needed to replace the primary energy inside them with dark matter and modify them so that the effects on the walls of his mind would be softer.
The higher energy was his heaviest energy and created an intense internal pressure once inserted in his mind. That was generally a good thing since it benefited the mind's width and sturdiness at the same time, but it also stressed the center of power a lot.
Even as a rank 5 mage, Noah's mind needed breaks. Only his dantian had become more resilient due to his hybrid status. His mental sphere was still frail.
Nevertheless, the matters that involved the mind were dangerous and could cause deadly repercussions. One error in the calculations could lead to injuries, and they were tricky to heal when they concerned the mental spheres.
Also, he had to be mindful of the long-term effects that putting such a powerful rune in his mind could cause. After all, he knew what constant influence could do on its walls.
Luckily for Noah, he had volunteers that wanted nothing more other than becoming able to control their instincts.
Noah started to spend most of his time in the central territories of the new continent after he set his mind on his latest projects. The Hive had released most of its hybrids there after the invading forces kicked the Shandal Empire away.
Most of those hybrids were unable to control themselves, and the minds of some of them had switched to a full beast mindset already. They couldn't live in the Hive's domes with that behavior. They needed a place where their aggression couldn't cause any damage.
The central territories of the new continent were the perfect place for them since they were mostly uninhabited and barren. Even the wildest hybrids could act freely there and don't bother anyone.
The fauna in that place had become quite peculiar in those years. Danielle and other powerful hybrids that managed to have some control over their minds had become pact leaders that handled the creatures in those lands.
It was as if those territories had become a natural reserve for hybrids, and the arrival of the three rank 5 creatures retrieved in the Shandal's separate dimension had only divided the various packs further.
