NOVEL WEB Chapter 254: How devious of you, Noah.
It was… phenomenal, to be honest.
Noah had thought of multiple ways to save his wives if they ever found themselves in a situation where they might die. He'd thought long and hard. But in the end… he chose something unique.
Something that just came into his mind one day while he was taking a stroll.
The idea to install a name inside each of their souls, one that would activate in their most defining moment.
He embedded a name within each of them and created conditions for when and why they would receive it.
For Red and Anya, knowing who they were and knowing they would face Mortis, the condition he set was simple:
When their bodies are completely corroded.
And that's why, when only their souls were left… they received the title.
But truly, Noah was devious.
By giving them their titles at that specific moment, in a moment where they had done something worthy— like surviving against a Law Creator Rank long enough, even enduring the fusion of two domains…
Not only did the title increase their status, it also helped them bridge the gap.
The gap The Records needed to bestow such a title.
In simple terms…
Noah forced The Records to give titles to his wives.
And The Records…
{How devious of you, Noah.}
The words echoed through both domains, making Mortis blink in disbelief.
"…what the fuck?" he muttered, his mind struggling to keep up with the cascade of events.
But The Records didn't care about him.
They weren't here for him.
They were here because their favorite had played them and forced them to act.
But also…
{How wonderful, Noah.}
They were impressed. They were proud.
And once they'd expressed that pride,
They began their duty.
{Anya Vaelgrim, Elysiari of Destruction, you have received a title.}
{Title: The Undying Entropy.}
{Description: You will not die as long as there is destruction occurring around you—destruction of any kind, within the range of your perception.
You grow stronger the more destruction you cause and the more destruction surrounds you.
Continue to grow and evolve this title gifted by The Records' Favorite.}
This time, the voice was heard only by Anya and instantly, the corrosion of her soul stopped. Her body began reforming at an impossible pace.
Now,
{Red Bloodheart Vaelgrim, Elysiari of War, you have received a new title.}
{Title: The NeverEnding Warmonger.}
{Description: You will not die as long as there is war in any shape or form taking place around you, within the reach of your perception.
You grow stronger the more war is fought and the more you cause.
Continue to grow and evolve this title gifted by The Records' Favorite.}
And again, the same process repeated.
Red's body started to rematerialize, reconstructed in pure silence and absolute grace.
In less than a second, both of them were back, completely restored, without a single wound, without a trace of corrosion on their skin.
They stood still, stunned. Until memories began to bloom within their minds.
A memory of Noah visiting them in the quiet of night, when they were asleep… and placing the names and titles inside their souls before vanishing.
They slowly turned their heads to look at each other… and smiled.
"He's truly devious… he even manipulated our memories so we'd only remember after receiving it," Anya said, calmly drawing out her spear of destruction, turning toward Mortis who still hadn't processed what the hell had just happened.
Red smirked. "That's our husband. He's devious, wonderful, and…" her smile twisted into one of obsession and deep affection,
"…loving."
Because truly, she had no words to describe the weight of what she was feeling right now.
Because now, they could feel it.
Dying? Would be almost impossible in this war.
There was war everywhere.
And where there's war… there's destruction.
And where there's destruction… they lived.
But because of Mortis's domain, they hadn't been able to sense it fully.
Which is why,
While Mortis was still catching up, still reeling,
They struck.
Anya used her Authority.
"Reality Destruction."
Red followed immediately, using the Authority she gained upon stepping into the Supreme Rank.
"NeverEnding War of Blood."
The moment those words were whispered into the domain, while Mortis was unfocused, his double domains cracked.
Then, they shattered.
The shadows began to ripple, twisting as if they didn't know what to do…they were lost.
In one frightening instant, the entire double domain collapsed under the weight of two Authorities.
Anya and Red reappeared in the Shadow Realm and the moment their perception expanded…
They felt it.
Destruction.
War.
Everywhere.
And in real time, they felt themselves growing stronger… and harder to kill.
A smile broke across both their faces.
Meanwhile, Mortis had finally pulled himself together.
He now knew that his sister was involved. And there was a mysterious being named Noah at the center of all this.
He didn't know much but he knew enough.
And now, he was done playing nice.
Domains are obtained by completing the journey to Supreme Rank, built upon the final form of your SSS-rank domain.
And at Supreme Rank, you also gain an Authority.
From Mythic to World Dominator, what changes is your depth of power and how well you can integrate that Authority—how deeply you can align with your world, how much feedback you receive from the world itself.
But at Law Creator Rank…
You gain a Law.
If Domains are the spaces where your power thrives, and Authorities are divine permissions granted by The Records…
Then a Law… is something else.
It is a fundamental rule you inscribe into the universe.
When you create a Law, and when the universe accepts and integrates that Law…
You become part of the cosmos.
You gain influence. Power. Reach—on a scale others can't even imagine.
Mortis wasn't quite there yet.
His Law was only valid within the Shadow Realm but even that…
"Law – Law of Corrosion." Mortis said coldly.
…was already enough for this battle.
And instantly,
Everything between heaven and earth started to corrode.
Even other laws.
Even war.
Even destruction.
Mortis had made it so only the Law of Corrosion applied now.
No destruction. No war. No anything
Only corrosion.
And so…
"Fuck…!"
Red and Anya cursed in unison.
