The next few days were a busy period of time as Noah moved back and forth between multiple locations to start preparations and smoothly transition the displaced inhabitants of the Lost World of Atlantis.

A day after their arrival in Noah’s homeworld, they were able to have an introduction to the humans that were busily moving around. Noah sent forth communications to Steel Mikhail and Kazuhiko as they arranged for the appropriate people from the Blessed Empire and the United Federation to receive the Atlanteans and Merfolk.

The Ocean Master took the lead to talk to the humans who were much weaker than him with respect as hours and hours of talks ensued. At the end of all of these talks that Noah had to sit through, the result was an agreement being made for the inhabitants of Atlantis to reside in a certain location scouted for in the sea as the two forces planned for peaceful mutual cooperation.

The process took a few days, but at the end of all of it, Noah was able to watch construction begin deep under the sea of his homeworld as Atlanteans and Merfolk with hardened faces worked to create a new home.

He was standing besides the Ocean Master who had long since collected himself as he asked.

"The World Engine...do we still have the capability to build it?"

A pained expression passed through the Ocean Master’s face as he heard of the creation that was the apparent cause of their world’s destruction.

"We can. I have multiple unfinished prototypes with me that would require a few weeks work to complete. But...would we not be inviting the same destruction here were we to do that?"

His body pulsed with power as he said this. Noah knew of the strong feelings each of them held as he shook his head and replied.

"No, word of the World Engine was spread through the mouths of Demon and Cultivators, and we will not have that repeat itself again. What we need now is to strengthen ourselves in hiding, the features of the World Engine will provide that for us. After a sufficient time has passed...we could maybe stand up to those that harmed us."

His words were strong as they shook the Ocean Master out of his stupor. The Ruler of Atlantis nodded as his eyes turned towards the Calamities. Noah spoke again as he noticed this.

"They feel a tremendous amount of guilt for what occurred, and I’ll be moving with them as we explore new worlds and find more ways to increase our strength."

The Calamities were powerful beings that had limitless potential to grow, he would be sure to strengthen them as time goes as he knew he couldn’t do everything by himself.

This tedious process of communications across humans, beasts, and the inhabitants of Atlantis would continue for the foreseeable future as the powerful figures at the top continued to move forward the plans.

Noah found himself with a tremendous amount of cores, skill books, and Law Crystals that the Emperor penguin and other beasts from his Spiritual Land had collected when they fought against the forces of Mountain Sea Sect. This wasn’t to even mention the loot he had obtained himself.

After finding some time a few days after their escape from the dying Lost World, he was finally able to take a look at everything he collected from his journey.

First off was the loot he didn’t finish checking from the Phantasmal ranked Paimon, two skill books were leftover besides the Ultimate Skill he already obtained from her. The first was a unique skill that seemed fairly simple, but would have its own amazing uses, with the second being a Phantasmal ranked skill.

{Lie Detection} :: The veil of truth and lies becomes visible, giving the user the ability to distinguish between them. [Persuasion] :: Your words carry an undeniable truth, making it easier to influence the beings around you. Simple and direct. A smile was on Noah’s face as he learned these skills and moved on to the skills dropped from the next Ruler he killed, Baal himself. He began with the grandiosely shining Ultimate Skill first.

{Seven Deadly Sins- Gluttony} :: One of the seven deadly sins unique to the Demon World. Abilities include Devouring, Large Stomach, and Library. [Devouring] :: Filled with endless hunger and thirst, the user can devour their enemies and other entities fully. Devoured entities can be broken down and used to permanently increase the attributes of the user or as fuel for healing and a momentary boost in power. The mana requirement varies depending on what the target is. [Large Stomach] :: An enormous amount of space is made available through the use of this ability, allowing the user to store anything they can devour. [Library] :: Devoured entities are analyzed and stored, their life history and skills laid bare for the user to pick and choose. A maximum of two skills can be extracted from devoured entities. The Ultimate Skill that the strongest Ruler held was no joke, and it was the reason why he grew so powerful in the first place. Noah’s eyes shined as he looked forward to utilizing the skill to the fullest. His only regret was that Baal’s body was completely destroyed with nothing left.

He let bygones be bygones as he looked at the next three skill books, these ones being two PHANTASMAL skills and a unique skill.

[Sundering Hellfire] :: Hellish flames blaze out to cover anything your eyes can see. The flames do not extinguish until you give the command. [Space Destruction] :: Your strikes gain the capability to affect space. The effect varies depending on what realm you are in. {Parallel Thought} :: The mind is an enigma, but it can still be controlled and enhanced. Two diverging thought processes can occur at the same time. Skills that he had observed the Oppressive Tyrant use to fight against multiple Phantasmal beings were now in his hands as he felt a feeling of accomplishment to have come so far.

There was a new feeling in his heart after all the recent negative experiences and emotions. With his strength growing like this, there was a large possibility for him to grow to the same level as those he had to run away from. His beliefs were reinforced as he looked at his stat panel with shining eyes. He could do it!
