For the first time ever, he wouldn't succeed in reconstructing and branding a Dao Line onto himself! There was a singular reason for this- and it was the effects that such an action would achieve.
They were just too far above what a Cosmic Dao could grant!
The +2,000% Increased Loot Quantity and +200% Increased Loot Rarity were reality bending effects that changed the quantity and quality of items already set by reality to change, and it was an effect barely actualized as the price was now the burning of 10,000 Splendiferous Universes per second.
To try and go above such effects was an impossibility as Noah was restricted at the level of a Cosmic Dao…as a mere Cosmic Dao could not provide one with such drastic reality bending effects like the ones Noah was currently looking for!
THRUM!
Noah's eyes followed the reconstruction of the Cosmic Dao of Loot as it turned into a glimmering multicolored line, this line shining gold as it went towards his back to etch themselves onto his body.
But…
BZZZT!
A terrifying backlash erupted as for the first time, the Runic Dao Line was not able to latch on to his skin! It floated behind him and tried to latch onto other parts of his body, but none of these tries were successful as a multicolored line now simply rotated around Noah with no direction!
And as expected….
<Error.>
The voice of the Cosmic Core that was in charge of showing Noah the simple quantification of his strength and abilities rang out in his mind as he saw the inscription of the Cosmic Dao of Loot failing.
<An unachievable reality bending effect is contained in the current transformation of a Cosmic Dao into a Runic Dao Line. The level of Dao is too low to achieve such an effect as it cannot be properly inscribed.>
The mechanical voice of the Cosmic Core rang out in his mind as Noah's eyes were filled with calm as he continued to listen.
<The only expected probability to achieve the intended reality bending effect may lie in an Edict above Greater or in the Systems instilled by Primordials.>
Yes.
What Noah was trying to achieve with the effects of the inscription of this Dao were too grand that even a Minor or Greater Nomological Edict would not be enough to provide it! For this, he had to delve into Edicts above that or even Systems that Champions held!
He had an inkling that Aegon or other Champions like Eckert had such balance breaking and reality bending effects similar to Increased Loot Quantity and Rarity, among even more capabilities that he knew nothing about. He didn't know too much about the path of Eckert, but what could explain how Aegon had been able to forge 100 Billion Splendiferous Universes while even his peers were still in the millions?
His eyes flashed sharply as he voiced out.
"Modify it to the highest possible extent that will be accepted."
Even if he couldn't have the unique strengths and Systems of Champions, he had himself!
His words were heard as the glimmering multicolored line began to vibrate, losing some of its luster white still trying to sink into his body over and over again.
<Modifying and recalculating to what extent the reality bending effects of Increased Loot Quantity and Increased Loot Rarity can be utilized.>
A beautiful show of light unfolded as the multicolored Runic Dao Line pulsed with gold as its intensity changed over and over again, the blazing light it originally released reducing to a great extent before it finally sunk into Noah's body!
<Reduction and modification successful. Proceeding with the Dao Line Inscription. Congratulations, Master.>
WAA!
The Runic Dao Line of Loot seemed impatient as it dug into Noah's Universal body, not even going to the open portions of his skin as it sank past his muscles and bones built from millions of universes themselves and went towards his heart!
THUMP!
On his thumping heart that released waves of universal light, this now fully golden light of loot wrapped around his heart as it branded itself in a unique fashion, occupying one third of the surface of his heart as it now seemed covered with golden rings.
A flash of golden light shone from his glorious heart as it even shot outwards to brighten up the crimson Ruination Realm, Noah's luminous eyes turning to his Status Panel right away as he saw what the maximum modified and reduced effects of what this Cosmic Runic Dao Line could produce!
<Runic Dao Line of Loot> (EMPOWERED) :: Grants +15,000,000% to All Parameters, and the modifiers of +50,000% Increased Loot Quantity and +5,000% Increased Loot Rarity. Adversely, the essence of this Dao and its effects can only be activated by the burning essence of 1,000,000 Splendiferous Universes per second. Due to the Empowerment, all loot will now have their rarity ranked based on colors of white, blue, purple, and gold.
"...beautiful."
Noah uttered with a pristine smile. It wasn't the 200,000% that should have come, but even one fourth of this number was utterly ridiculous as Noah felt like he was touching upon a grain of sand of what Champions enjoyed with their Systems!
50,000% Increased Loot Quantity and +5,000% Increased Loot Rarity! Just from the Loot Quantity alone, a single Lesser Primordial Beast would grant him 500 Lesser Primordial Hearts. Then…one had to take into account the factor of +5,000% Increased Loot Rarity.
"You better be capable of turning a Lesser Primordial Heart into 500 Grand ones at least or there'll be a riot…"
Noah voiced out threateningly while looking at this glorious modifier of Loot Rarity. With it, he expected to obtain at least 500 Grand Primordial Hearts from a mere Lesser Primordial Beast, and as for what he would obtain when he killed a Grand Primordial Beast?
"Ah…" It was a bright future Noah could only look forward to!
