In the chaotic realm that the Dimensional Ruler Catherine occupied.
It was a day just like any other, with the difference being the figure of Annalise sitting peacefully in the garden in front of the castle that swayed atop the chaotic sea.
Dense essence of frost swirled around her as she was currently absorbing the Cores that Noah left behind, her aura being pumped to higher levels with ease as Noah had given her the World rank Cores that they recently received from the cleared Dimensional Rifts!
Catherine was on the balcony of the exquisitely designed castle as she stared at Annalise with bright eyes, this powerful Dimensional Ruler with a unique status still being filled with curiosity when she thought of this girl and her older brother.
'Noah Eckert...just what are you bound to do?'
Her thoughts were simple as she wondered of the untold future, but her gaze was instantly taken away as her eyes flashed with an intense cold light a second later because...
A brand new aura appeared within her chaotic realm a second later!
"Hmm?"
Catherine raised her head to the skies of the dark chaotic Realm as she saw the image of a sagely-looking middle aged man make their appearance.
The being looked extremely wisened as his eyes carried a light of righteousness, slight distaste showing as they looked around at the chaos particles that filled the area around them!
The distaste on this being only grew heavier as his figure floated down towards the peacefully swaying castle where the figures of Annalise and Catherine were.
Catherine's eyes gazed up as she returned his distaste as she spoke out.
"Old man, what made you take the time from your oh-so-busy schedule to come into my little abode?"
"..."
Her voice carried blatant annoyance as the wizened being referred to as an old man replied with a sunken expression.

"Yet I what?"
THRUM!
Sparks flew out from Catherine's eyes as she looked at this being with an increasingly cold face!
Throughout this entire time, the newly arriving being above them had only spared a single glance at Annalise's figure below, his eyes not even putting her in focus for longer than a few seconds as he ignored the being that didn't have an ounce of strings of fate or Chaos around her!
His eyes only focused on Catherine as he continued.
"The Keepers of Order and Fate took you in because of your connection with our Conclave in the Empyrean Realm, we already know that your trial here is harder than all of ours...so you have no need to be this complacent, Catherine Albert Vizor."
WAA!
At these words, Catherine's body erupted with a storm of chaos essence as her eyes became exceedingly cold, her small figure beginning to float up towards the being surrounded by a shower of golden light that seemed to be pushing aside all the particles of chaos!
"Fate Disciple Andrew, do I come rolling around your fucking home and tell you what to do?"
…!
The Dark skies palpated with essence as the two Dimensional Rulers had sparks flying between them, one having fully assimilated Chaos while the other had fully assimilated Fate!
Off to the side, Annalise had a grim expression as she stared at the figure floating in the skies his aura being similar to Catherine's at the Star rank as around his body, faint golden lines of fate shimmering brightly.
"Our Conclaves in the Empyrean Plane will not so easily interfere as they label the Sublunary Plane as a trial ground. If something rises to threaten our dominion and trials...it will affect someone like you even more as hundreds of years will pass before you can take a few steps forward."
…!
Andrew's gaze remained that of immense self-confidence and righteousness, Catherine sneering towards him as she replied.
"How magnanimous of you to care. Now roll the fuck out of my Realm if your message is done. I'll move whenever I wish to move and in the meanwhile, you all conduct your goose chase across the Sublunary Plane."
BZZT!
Her body shone dangerously with the chaos particles as their denseness in the surroundings caused her power to be elevated to greater levels, the one called Fate Disciple Andrews only sighing with distaste as his figure disappeared!
Catherine spread her aura out to confirm this as she sneered.
These beings were still going around chasing the existence they thought would pose a danger to them when she had been even faster than them and located him the moment he stepped into the Sublunary Plane, yet they had to gall to come and talk to her about being lazy?!
They would be the ones to stay hundreds of years before their trials were completed, if they didn't face death in the days to come!
"Hmph!"
Her figure began to descend down as Annalise looked towards her with bright eyes, seeing Catherine in a new light as she asked her descending figure.
"Just what are the inner workings of the Three Factions residing with this Sublunary Plane?"
Annalise's eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, with Catherine waving her hand at this question as she replied lightly.
"Many of them are either descendants of existences moving within the Empyrean Plane or Disciples of powerful Conclaves sent down for Trials. For some, it is to comprehend and assimilate multiple laws only using the resources of the Dimensional Rifts in the Sublunary Pane."
"They treat this plane as a trial ground, or really a playground where the descendants of these powerful existences fight for the resources of this plane with one another! The three factions are merely groups that banded together to see who could occupy the most of the Realm Clusters and star clusters as they control the resources of the Dimensional Rifts that they find within!"
…!
"Your brother rising in power will somehow tip the balance of the field that they're currently playing on, either causing them to fail their trials or simply face death….is it not interesting?"
RUMBLE!
The light of chaos danced around Catherine's body as she spoke, Annalise only rolling her eyes as she pulled out another world ranked core and continued to absorb and strengthen her power. As a swirling world of ice slowly bloomed from her, Catherine only laughed lightly, the fingers of the two women continuing to stay peacefully in the swaying Castle amidst a chaotic sea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYes! This truly was how the situation of the Sublunary Plane was, the forces of the powerful Dimensional Rulers from the three factions moving as they continued to scour the vast starry space of the dimensional plane, getting ever closer to the hidden Ethereal Realm that had produced the coming problem!
Within the shattered dimensional plane, Noah knew this all too well as he had fully comprehended the law of fate and had access to the hidden strings of fate that affected him within this Sublunary Plane, knowing that the first deadly impact he would have with the Dimensional Rulers of the three factions was actually bound to happen soon as after a few days of searching, these beings would finally make some progress and find his Ethereal Realm soon.
Had thought of many ways to get past the situation and he wasn't at least a bit worried. When that time came, he would get a signal. After that signal, he would simply move to take care of it!
As of right now though, he was already on the 98th floor of the Shattered Fire Plane Dimensional Rift as over 18 hours had passed since he began. The dimensional beasts he faced had grown increasingly more terrifying as this floor held the World Rank Rift Boss that was an enormous Ancient Fire Titan.
The beasts found within the shattered planes dimensional rifts were always humungous in size and extremely powerful, but he could actually match this Ancient Fire Titan that looked like an oversized humanoid creature with ease because he had been able to finally bring two of his units to fuse and obtain a World Rank Unit!
The Loot Resources from the newly added World Rank Rifts that had a stupendous clear time with the aid of Catherine granted him a large amount of World Rank Upgrade crystals daily, with Noah expecting to be able to fuse a World Rank Unit every single day if not two as he also obtained resources from the Tower of Champions and other features of the Idle Gaming System.
Naturally, the two Units that he had chosen for the first fusion were the Dragon Emperors, their fusion being able to produce...
ROAR!
A beast that spanned Over 100 meters in size, its scales listening with a cold purple luster as on top of its head, a purple crown of Aether rotated majestically.
[Purple Tyrant Dragon].
This was the name of the World Rank Unit that Noah had fused first!
BOOM!
From its body, storms of Aether thundered down towards the Ancient Fire Titan as the hardened skin of the enemy was torn apart every second.
As the fused Units each came with their own stage of comprehension in their respective laws when Noah fused them, this Purple Tyrant Dragon was even more terrifying as it held complete comprehension and was halfway through assimilation of the Law of Aether!
Its power was simply unrivaled among beings of the same stage! Noah's eyes were flashing brightly as he watched the soon to end battle, his own body emanating a shocking sense of power as he had been crazily absorbing the Universal Law Crystals he was constantly obtaining from his newly added Rifts, the aura of multiple laws in the process of Assimilation vibrating within his body.
Yet...his figure changed its expression a second later as his eyes turned into deadly slits.
He had received a signal.
Strings of fate thrummed invisibly around him as he knew what it meant. A party was about to move into the region of the hidden Ethereal Realm!
