Chapter 388: Eighth-Tier!
🕑 Added 2025-09-21 06:35:56 +0000 UTCNoah was a bit dazed right now. Anyone who closed their eyes, dreamed, and then woke up to find three days had passed would be much the same. However, Noah's adaptability was still good. Recalling his previous situation, Noah realized that it wasn't impossible for him to have truly "sleepwalked" across the entire world for three days. After all, that memory seemed deeply imprinted in Noah's mind; there was no way to forget it.
If it were a normal dream, you might forget the contents of the dream when you woke up, or even not remember how you entered it. But Noah's situation was different; he remembered everything clearly.
However, what Noah didn't expect was that the energy infusion he remembered seemed to have also happened in the outside world, causing quite a commotion. This made Noah feel a bit curious; were those energies occurring simultaneously?
"Noah, you seem somewhat... have you advanced again?"
Just as Noah was about to check his own condition, Wong suddenly said in disbelief, which immediately made Noah even more curious. Noah didn't answer Wong's question immediately, even though Ms.Haifin, Dennis, and Loki all showed incredible expressions.
Instead, Noah slowly closed his eyes and began to examine his own situation. In fact, Noah's examination method was very simple and crude: directly asking his system. Now, Noah felt more and more that his system was simply a butler.
"System, open my panel." Noah silently thought to himself, and soon a panel appeared in his tightly closed eyes.
Name: Noah Fenrir Nessario
Mage Level: Eighth Tier, Seventh Grade, Ninth Tier, Fourth Grade
Noah's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at his panel. Why was there a strange name after his own?
Noah remembered he used that name to trick Thanos.
How did it suddenly become his dragon's name? Noah really didn't want to be a mount!
"System, can I change my name? The name Nessario is too overbearing; I feel like I can't handle it," Noah tentatively asked internally.
"No, the name Deathwing Nessario has been spread by Saros and is known throughout the universe, just as Noah Fenrir is remembered by the world. Furthermore, your focus seems a bit off," the system's mechanical voice quickly replied.
This answer left Noah speechless. So he really had to bear a mount's name from now on? Shaking his head helplessly, Noah's focus was indeed a bit off, but that didn't mean Noah didn't see it. In fact, Noah was very happy right now. Not only had his dragon strength, which hadn't improved for many years, directly risen to the fourth grade, but his own strength had also directly risen to the Eighth Tier!
Eighth-Tier strength, while not top-tier, was still incredibly formidable. Moreover, Noah seemed to feel that his improvement wouldn't stop there. The power infused into Noah when he was in his soul state was considerable, and when Noah left that place, he noticed that the azure power in that space was almost gone!
Opening his eyes, Noah looked at the Tesseract in his hand, and soon he noticed that the Tesseract seemed to have dimmed. Although the core of the cube still emitted a brilliant azure, and the power it contained was still terrifyingly immense, it was clearly not as full as before.
"Did all that power transfer to me?" Noah thought to himself. It seemed there was no other good explanation besides this. But Noah wondered why so much power only boosted him to the Eighth Tier? Logically, Noah felt that if it didn't push him to the Tenth Tier, it should at least be the Ninth Tier, right?
"If you don't want to be blown up by this power, I'll
return it all to you." Just as Noah was extremely puzzled and about to ask the system, the system directly popped up and told Noah.
"So you really intercepted it," Noah said, somewhat speechless. "Are you saying I'd explode if I absorbed it all?"
"Yes," the system said very directly. "The amount is too vast. If not controlled, your chance of exploding is as high as seventy-seven percent. Therefore, I intercepted your energy rather than letting you gamble on the remaining twenty-three percent." Gambling on luck was quite mystical for Noah, and he could understand the system's approach. It was just a bit uncomfortable to suddenly lose so much power, but Noah didn't rush to speak; he knew the system would clarify these things.
"As for the power I intercepted, I will take ten percent: five percent as my energy source, and the remaining five percent for integrating the Domain's energy." As expected, the system began to explain. "As for the remaining ninety percent, I will dissipate their attributes.
Fifty percent will be used to enhance your magic, and forty percent will be used to enhance your physical fitness. However, this will not be a one-time process, but a relatively slow one." Noah nodded silently.
If that were the case, it was indeed acceptable. The system had previously exploded when first helping Noah simulate the Domain, requiring Noah to provide energy to it. Now, with the overflowing power of the Space Stone, it was indeed an excellent choice. And using the remaining power to slowly enhance Noah himself was also a very good idea. Although it couldn't be achieved overnight, taking it slowly also had many benefits, the most important of which was having enough time for Noah to adapt and master these powers.
The drawbacks brought by "Perfect Dragonborn Magic" had not yet disappeared. All Noah could do was release the dragon's power to the maximum extent.
As for micro-management, Noah didn't even dare to think about it. Of course, Noah didn't think there was a need for micro-management with dragons. Just opening his mouth and blasting fire when displeased was much more satisfying than any eloquent speech.
"This state is truly 'word is action.' If I say your family will be completely wiped out, not a single one will be missing." Noah now understood his current situation, but he was still a little curious: how long would this power injection and enhancement roughly take? Even if it was slow, there had to be a time limit, right? Noah didn't want to wait until trouble arrived and still be a small fry.
"It will probably take three to four years to fully absorb it. Of course, if you improve faster, you can accelerate it."
"Three to four years?" Noah nodded. He could afford to wait three to four years, because if Noah wasn't mistaken, then Dormammu would arrive in three to four years. Noah already knew how to deal with Dormammu, and the most crucial item was hanging on his chest right now.
"Perhaps Dormammu will really become a 'good guy' then.
His power will become a 'charging treasure,' and with the effect of the Time Stone, he'll even become a sparring partner. What a good guy." Shaking his head, Noah no longer bothered thinking about these things. Noah was very happy now; no matter what, his strength had taken another big step forward!
Looking up, Noah smiled at Ms.Haifin and the others. His expression immediately made Ms.Haifin and the others sense something.
"You really have improved?" Loki couldn't help but ask, his face as strange as could be.
"Yes, according to our Earth's ranking, I am now at the Eighth-Tier level," Noah said proudly, nodding.
"My goodness, you've actually reached Eighth-Tier?"
Wong was stunned when he heard Noah's words!
Although Noah's magical level had always improved rapidly, Wong and Mordo's speed wasn't slow either.
With meditation and the Ancient One's guidance, plus their inherent talent and sufficient effort, their progress was very fast, basically similar to Noah's. For more than ten years, they had almost been advancing side by side, but this time, Noah had directly pulled ahead of them! It was fortunate that Mordo wasn't in Noah's Sanctum; otherwise, who knew how shocked that guy would be.
"Yes, Eighth-Tier," Noah's smile grew even wider. He naturally guessed what Wong was thinking, which was why he was even more triumphant! Ms.Haifin, on the other hand, seemed very calm, apparently not surprised by Noah's sudden advancement by a stage. However, the smile on her face showed that she was genuinely happy for Noah, which made Noah feel even more comfortable.
"You achieved this relying on the Tesseract?" Although
Loki was also filled with shock, he was relatively calmer.
Loki had seen Eighth-Tier strength before; his mother was also an Eighth-Tier mage. He was very interested in Noah's sudden advancement to Eighth-Tier, because he knew his own situation, and he also hoped to gain sufficiently powerful strength! Leaving aside other things, Loki still had some longing for the throne of Asgard.
Through his last conversation with Noah, he suddenly realized that his own strength might be a bit too weak? And now there was a very important reason: Loki knew very well that he had offended a terrifying individual.
As for who this individual was, there was no need to say more; Thanos was truly not an easy person to deal with. Having offended him, Loki had to think of a way. And the most effective method was to improve his own strength. As long as his strength was strong enough, Loki wouldn't have to worry so much.
Noah had no idea Loki was thinking so many things, but he nodded very directly: "That's right, I improved by relying on the power of the Tesseract."
"Is that so? Then, can I..." Loki showed a perfectly self-satisfied smile, looking at Noah expectantly.
"Regarding that question, I think you shouldn't overthink
it," Noah shook his head. "You probably haven't figured out what the Tesseract really is, have you?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"The meaning is simple: the Tesseract is no ordinary thing, because it contains an Infinity Stone!"
