Chapter 216 â The Birth of a World
"Seems itâs time to get another title," Noah said with a small, confident smile.
At his words, Noelle looked at him with confused eyes. It wasnât that she didnât understand his wordsâshe did. Perfectly.
But... what the hell was he planning to do that made him so confident heâd earn a new title?
The answer came fast as she recalled the questions heâd just asked. Her gaze turned more curious.
"Do you plan to make a world within you?" Noelle asked in a calm but slightly intrigued voice.
After all, sheâd never heard of such a thing.
Noah nodded. "I plan to do that. But Iâm not completely sure if itâll work, so correct me when Iâm wrong, Noelle," he said, calling her by name like heâd known her forever.
"Yes... how do you plan to do that?" Noelle asked plainly. With eons of experience behind her, it wasnât easy to shake her composure. Even something as absurd as creating a world inside oneself.
At best, she found it... interesting.
"Theoretically, would it work if I fused my realm with my soul and made them inseparable... then took the core of Laeh and fused it with my own concept core to create something new?" Noah asked, tilting his head slightly, unsure if the idea was even possibleâbut fully ready to try it anyway.
"Hm..." Noelle began thinking. She didnât question whether he could fuse them. If he said he could, it meant he probably could.
"Hm... realm fused with soul... world core fused with concept core... no, I donât think thatâll work," she said bluntly, not hiding anything.
"I think you need to place the world core inside the realm to make it a world. So why not just fuse the world core with your soul instead?"
"Youâll already be turning your soul into a realm the moment you fuse it with the current one. Then just add the world coreâand boom, the realm becomes a world. Your soul... will bear an entire world."
She paused.
"No... not bear. Your soul will become a world," she corrected herself, finding it more accurate.
"So itâs possible?" Noah asked with a smile.
"Theoretically, yes," Noelle nodded.
"Then thatâs all I need. And even if it wasnât possible... it would be for me," Noah said, grinning wide with confidence.
Noelle smiled at that. "Why though?" she asked, amused.
"Why? Because I am limitless," Noah said proudly, expecting some kind of awe from her.
Butâ
"Oh... youâre one of those guys? Thatâs pretty good. Did you break your worldâs limitations or get something no one else has?" she asked, more curious about how he got the title than the title itself.
Noah was stunned for a moment. Then sighed.
"Yeah... I definitely need a damn new title. And it better be unique this time. And fuckâwho else dares to be âlimitlessâ like me?"
He grumbled under his breath.
Noelle laughed.
And it wasnât a fake oneâit was real. Melodic. Filled with genuine amusement.
"Hahaha... my precious, there are countless worlds out there. You canât seriously expect to be the only one who achieved what you did to get that title," Noelle said, finding herself feeling more and more comfortable around Noah.
Noah understood. But it still left a bitter taste in his mouth.
âNow Iâm sure the "Reincarnator" title might not be that unique either...â he sighed.
But that just made him more eager to try what he was about to do.
And honestly? He wasnât worried about those guys.
With his system, heâd eventually surpass all of them anyway.
Noah pulled himself together and finally focused on what he came here to doâ
Make his soul a world. Literally.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them slowly.
His eyes were calm, like still water. He looked at Noelle.
"Not that I donât trust you, but I donât know what state Iâll be in once I start the process..."
He didnât finish. He didnât need to.
Noelle understood.
She smiled, amused. "If I wanted to hurt youâor the realmâyou think Iâd still be here? Or even you think you will be able to protect yourself from me?"
She laughed softly.
"But still... if it makes you feel better."
She had nothing to lose either way, so she swore on the Recordsâthat she wouldnât harm Noah, his realm, or anyone close to him in any way, shape, or form.
A full, binding oath.
Noah finally relaxed, then gave the mental command.
"Fuâ"
"Youâll need to get out of the realm first," Noelle interrupted.
"Wonât they notice?" Noah asked, not exactly eager to draw attention from the Originals this early.
"Iâll hide you," Noelle replied simply. As if it were no big deal.
And for herâpower of space and voidâit wasnât.
Without wasting time, they left the realm and arrived in a dark cave of shadows. Noah didnât forget to warn his women beforehand, in case something happened.
Now hidden by Noelleâs power, Noah hovered an inch off the ground, cross-legged, eyes closed.
After a few secondsâ
"Fuse the realm with my soul," Noah ordered his talent.
Immediately, a white dome appeared around him, shielding him from any curious gaze and at the same time, initiating the fusion.
Noah gritted his teeth as a wave of unbearable pain coursed through his body but especially his soul.
It felt like his soul was being ripped apart, like a third party had grabbed it and was now stretching it in every direction, playing with it like a toy.
It was pain.
Pure pain.
But Noah bit down, eyes tearingâbut not a single scream left his lips.
And even in the middle of agony, while the fusion was still ongoing...
Noahâs mind didnât stop racing.
His thoughts sharpened, twisted toward something even more obscene.
A simple idea.
Why not throw his concept core into the mix?
After all, his concept core held every affinities heâd awakened or shared with his women like nothingness, sword, ice, and more.
He wondered, just for a momentâwhat would happen if his Elysiari-forged concept core fused with the world core... and his soul?
What the hell would come out of that?
Noah couldnât wait to find out.
So without hesitation, he added the core into the fusion.
"Fuse... fuse it all...!" Noah growled and instantly, the pain multiplied.
But on the other sideâ
The result became something else entirely.
Because after several minutes of pure, soul-breaking agony...
Noah finally completed the fusion.
And oh...
{DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!}
{MARVELOUS!!!!!}
