Chapter 180 - Great Rewards
-----
The Blood Progenitor glanced at the gibbering ceiling.
"Noah is really someone interesting… I might as well see how far he goes…" he thought, as he disappeared with a blink.
Noah slowly opened his crimson eyes.
He was atop his bed, but Iris was not at his side.
He quickly sat down, as he felt a sudden rush of power and strength over all his body and soul.
His body, in specific, felt way stronger than before.
He had evolved.
"Don't tell me… I have reached A-Rank already?" thought Noah.
"Indeed," said the voice of the Blood Progenitor, as he emerged at the side of Noah like a crimson-colored and translucent ghost.
"So this is what you wanted to do…" said Noah, glancing at the new form of the Blood Progenitor.
"What I can or not do is dictated by your will… But I can't blame you if you don't trust me yet, I had said quite a few things before," said the Blood Progenitor while smiling bitterly.
"…Nonetheless, check your Status," he continued.
"Have you become something of a System Administrator now?" asked Noah.
"…Perhaps. There is certainly something that binds me to the System and the Blood Core. I can manipulate the System a bit for you," said the Blood Progenitor.
"If you want to, you could simply make me fade away," he said.
"…No, it would be better to keep you close," said Noah, considering that he would be able to always see what he's up to if he were close to him.
…And well, he recognized that he had helped him quite a good amount.
Noah decided to check the many holographic windows.
However, instead of the usual translucent blue colors of the windows, they were now crimson red, glowing brightly while also having a faint phantasmal presence.
It was as if his System had also changed.
He glanced at his Status Panel, which was also red-colored, with the letters being black.
However, before he could see any further, many System Windows pestered his sight.
Ding!
[Overflowing energy successfully sealed, this saved up power will be slowly unlocked as you grow strong enough]
[Residual energy successfully repurposed]
[All of your Attribute Values have increased]
[You gained +500 Vitality, Mind, and Force!]
[You gained extra Skill Points]
[You gained +25.000 Skill Points!]
[You learned the [God Slayer: 1 (S)] Skill!]
[You learned the [Surpass Limits: Soul: 1 (A)] Skill!]
Noah felt a rush of power and triumphant exhilaration as he realized that he had become A-Rank!
And he only needed to eat Excalibur's Divine Soul and then bite God, how easy!
Well, it was not easy at all, such events were not normal at all either, and he almost died in the first one and almost lose most of his power in the second one, but the efforts paid off in the end.
He inspected the two new Skills in detail before going towards the awakened Skills.
[God Slayer: 1 (S)]
The power to defy the Gods and inflict damage against their Divine Existences despite your lowly soul and strength difference.
As a pseudo-mortal, you have acquired the power to damage Gods through your soul, this Skill has emerged due to this.
When activating its effect, you can deal bonus damage against any enemy with Divinity based on Skill proficiency.
Current Bonus damage: 5%.
…
[Surpass Limits: Soul: 1 (A)]
After pushing your soul to its very limits, breaking it apart, and regenerating it constantly, you have acquired the ability to surpass your own limits through it and be able to exert an extra amount of power through it.
Extends the tenacity of your soul and its resiliency temporarily in exchange for large quantities of Mana, after the effect is deactivated, you feel weakened.
…
The effects of these Skills were utterly amazing.
Noah was now able to deal extra damage against beings with Divinity! And even more, he was now able to push his soul to its very limits and go even further beyond!
However, after going even further beyond and using all of his mana, his soul would become extremely tired and weakened, and would most likely need to rest for some time.
This was a "last resort" type of Skill, but the more Skills he could use through his soul, the better.
He recalled his fight against The Lady of the Lake and the Hand of God, and in both fights, he was not able to use his Skills properly, but the Skills related to the soul were able to be used, such as Soul Devour against the Hand of God.
After this small analysis, Noah glanced back at the rest of his Skills. Many of them had awakened into powerful and enhanced versions, upgrading their former effects, and even giving them new extra effects to them, making the skills more formidable for his current level of strength.
[All of your Skills gained bonus Proficiency]
[The [Parallel Mind Thought Processing: 100 (A)] Skill has awakened into the [Soul Group Thought Processing: 1 (S)] Skill!]

[The [Vampiric Wings: 100 (C)] Skill has awakened into the [Demonic Vampiric Blood Wings: 1 (A)] Skill!]
Noah glanced with wonder at the many Skills that have awakened, realizing that many of them had acquired new effects.
…
[Soul Group Thought Processing: 1 (S)]
Your soul has evolved, and it has become capable of fragmenting itself into many, all of them are you, and you are all of them.
As a soul who is many and one, your can think many things at the same time, and even be in many places if you can distribute such soul pieces in some sort of way.
As the Skill proficiency increases, the creation of additional Soul minds is possible.
…
It seemed that Noah's soul had merged with his mind, and now that he had fragmented his soul so much, he was able to cut it into pieces however he liked, creating some sort of hive-mind, enhancing his thought process to greater levels.
…
[Veracious Sacrificial Vampiric Tenacity: Lifeblood Exceed: 1 (A)]
Unleash the veracity of your very vampiric tenacity.
Increase all of your stats temporarily by making your blood flow incredibly quickly, alongside coating yourself in that energy to enhance your power even further.
The more you stay in this state, the more blood you will lose, but the more strength and additional damage your attacks (of any kind) can deal.
Additionally, you can unleash the entire power you have amassed into an explosive burst of crimson energy to a designed foe, however, your body will weaken afterward.
