Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System

Echidna was kneeling on the very fabric of space, her head lowered.

She didn't know how to react to just what happened. She was here, shouting and destroying the world with her fury.

But with the same simple voice of Noah, it looked like the very heavens were against her as she kneeled on the ground.

She should have expected this. After all, she was a simple Mythic-ranked being and Noah a World Dominator. The difference between the two was not a small one…it was a huge one.

But she acted this way…because not only was she jealous and envious of the stage Noah achieved in this little time.

But also, in one corner of her mind, she just couldn't accept that the boy she could crush with only her aura had surpassed her.

Yes, it was pride. It was ego.

And now she was paying it by kneeling in front of Noah.

She clenched her teeth tightly—so tightly it looked like they would soon shatter. The sound echoed through the silent space around them.

Noah looked at her, amused. He didn't have anything against Echidna, to be honest. But he didn't like the fact she was such a coward for flinching in front of power.

He had a goal. And that goal was to take over the entirety of Hell. And for that, he needed a very capable agent inside—someone who could do the little tasks that would make the process easier.

Just like how Shadeva did with the City of Order.

So, he didn't need a coward. He needed a courageous one. A person who wouldn't flinch just because someone was stronger, but one who would try to find a way to take them down.

If you're weaker but more intelligent, use your mind and take them down.

If they outclass you in every way, then outclass yourself—or find a whole new domain where you will dominate.

There was no magic potion to this. There was only the unending crave for power and evolution.

Because being stagnant…was not an option in this universe.

But clearly, Echidna lacked in that part. She looked like the typical being who was all talk and acted big in front of the weaker—but submissive in front of the stronger.

So pitiful. So pathetic.

But he couldn't be too hard on her. After all, she didn't tell anyone about his Abomination status or anything of the sort.

Noah shook his head. He clicked his finger and made time around them infinitely slow.

Another chair made of threads appeared beside him.

"Come and sit. We have many things to talk about," Noah said softly before falling silent.

Echidna hesitated a little, not knowing what to do, but eventually she accepted. It didn't look like she had any other choice to begin with, considering what level of power Noah just showed her.

So with a resigned face, she stood up slowly and sat on the chair. She glanced in the process at Lucie, who returned the gaze with utter indifference.

Echidna smiled softly, not surprised in the least by this.

"My first question is, what's going on with Lucie?" Noah asked directly, not attempting to ease the atmosphere like he did with his children.

He didn't have that much attention and patience span for this matter.

Echidna looked at Lucie for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.

"You must have already guessed it…" she started, her voice hiding an undertone of fear and apprehension towards Noah.

"…but she is not human—or anything you might have seen in your life," she added then.

At this, Lucie tilted her crow head to the side, finding this earthshaking news pretty…interesting.

Noah smiled woefully at the lack of reaction to a news that should have been existential for anyone—but for Lucie, it looked like any other information. Just, a bit more interesting.

"What is she?" Noah asked, wanting to know what Lucie truly is.

"I don't even know myself. All I can tell you is when I found 'her', she was just a small spherical metallic object."

"I said metallic, but it was very malleable."

"She obtained this physical body because I took a random blood of a human I had on my clothes and placed it on it for a test and…"

She paused for a brief moment.

"…she became the Lucie I—no, we all know," she finished her explanation and stayed silent, giving Noah the time to absorb the new information.

But Noah had already absorbed and understood even before she finished.

'A metallic object… something malleable… something that probably took the shape of the blood it absorbed.'

'…why does it look like an experiment the beings from Earth would do? The thing about creating artificial life with biotechnology…' Noah couldn't help but wonder.

Is there a world so advanced in this field?

"Where did you find her?" Noah asked again, his voice more sharp and tense.

"In a shattered ruin. Beside Lucie, the only thing I saw were words inscribed on the ceiling. Weirdly, till now, I didn't forget the words…" Echidna paused a little bit, then said what she read.

She quoted:

"To reach the truth of all objective and imagined realities is to know how to swim upstream of the Great River."

The words echoed deep inside Noah. For a moment, he closed his eyes and repeated them again and again and again.

There was just something compelling about these words.

'Swimming upstream…' Noah repeated these particular words, finding some insight inside them.

He sighed again and suddenly felt like…he was still a newbie in the matter of this universe. And this became even more obvious as time passed. This fact made him hungry for knowledge.

'Haha… I understand now why Aurelia is so obsessed with knowledge.' Noah thought with a dry laugh.

After all, knowledge truly was power.

Shaking his head to focus again on the present moment, Noah slowly lowered his head to look at Lucie before smiling faintly.

"What do you think about it? Your Origin seems pretty interesting, Lucie. Do you wish to know more about it?" he asked.

Lucie nodded, indicating her interest.

"Then we will find a way to do so. I am curious about whoever wrote those profound words," he said to her and finally concentrated back on Echidna, who was pretty shocked to see such affection from Noah toward Lucie.

It was weird.

"Echidna, I also have something to ask you."

He smiled sharply.

"How would I fare if I decide to conquer Hell right now?" he asked.

But the answer came unbelievably fast as Echidna's voice echoed with certainty beyond measure.

"You will die."
