"It is not about what I want, but what a Hegemony like you would be willing to do to get her hands on Antiquity. How far would you go for such a thing…if it even required you to betray those you are working with right now?"

…!

"I also have to ask what you think others like you would do if I bought this same offer to them, would they take it, or would they say no to Antiquity for some sentimental reasons?"

While essence bound him throughout, Noah continued to release piercing words as the Hegemony before him clamped her hands down onto his shoulder even tighter.

Their faces were merely a few inches away from each other, and Noah could see the glimmer within her dark hair flowing down gently, her eyes that held hints of red within their darkness making this Hegemony extremely prominent as her tight-fitting black dress shone in the light of the destabilized space they were in.

What would other Hegemonies do if Noah went to them with this offer? Love didn\'t even need to ask herself this question as she already knew the answer. Existences like them that strived so much for this goal would take this offer…no matter what it required of them to do so!

Isn\'t that what she and all the others were doing right now? She was working with the Hegemony of Gold not because she wanted to, but for the possible rewards from the legacy of the Usurper that would help her increase her strength and shed light on the path forward.

The other three Hegemonies working closely with them had the same goals, where it wasn\'t out of friendship or goodwill that they worked together, but for mutual benefits! Everything…was for their own benefit!

Love knew this clearly as she sighed deeply in her heart, steeling her resolve as she looked at the existence she held within her hands. He felt like a dangerous time bomb more than anything, giving her a sense of danger that she didn\'t get when she locked gazes with other Hegemonies.

Her tight hold on him lifted as she waved her hands and dispelled the terrifying spatial storms around them that destabilized space, her gaze impassive as she asked again, this time with conviction.

"What do you want?"

WAA!

Noah craned his neck as he smiled brightly and replied.

"A partnership. I get your help in certain things, and at the end of it all…I assure you Antiquity."

"Really?" Love replied with a sneer as she continued. "You\'d be so kind and I would be so willing to do what you ask just for a promise of words? How gracious of you."

No trust was established between the two sides, and Noah knew this as his body emanated a unique essence, a peal of light escaping from his mind as it floated towards the figure of the Hegemony of Love.

This ball of light represented a memory, something that Noah expertly dug out from his mind and was displaying to another being in the outside world.

"Among the many things that came with the portion of the Legacy I obtained, the Great Usurper left be the coordinates to deadly and savage dimensions where he came across unique things and hid even more powerful treasures. This one is of particular importance to Hegemonies that wish to ascend to Antiquity, providing an unsurpassable treasure that makes such a task easy. Tell me, what do you see?"

Noah\'s words slowly entered Love\'s mind as her fingers touched the ball of light, a flood of information entering her mind as her eyes blazed gloriously with a shocking light!

She saw memories of a vast dimension filled with a terrifying Crimson essence that caused her heart to shake, this dimension filled with deadly storms and beasts that were releasing an aura of power no less than hers at the Universal Realm!

There were an uncountable number of them swimming powerfully in the storms of the unique crimson essence that even Hegemonies like her feared, as it was an essence of a Cosmic Dao that was extremely destructive. This essence coveted nearly everything within this dimension as only a few portions were left untouched by its terror.

But within this deadly dimension, the ball of knowledge that Noah gave her pulled her towards a certain location at the very center of this dimension where she could feel the beating of a…heart!

THUMP!

A genuine beating heart that shone with a myriad of colors, this heart giving off a unique feeling of a supreme treasure that caused even the Hegemony of Love to salivate just from its knowledge alone.

"A heart…I see a heart!" She couldn\'t help but unconsciously reply to Noah who nodded towards her, replied back calmly.

"Yes. A supreme treasure in the form of a heart lying within this Dimension that is filled with the Cosmic Dao Essence of a terrifying Dao that rips apart Hegemonies that cannot defend themselves against it in mere minutes if not less."

As he spoke, Noah reminisced how shocked he was when he received the knowledge of Dimensions such as these from the Legacy of the Great Usurper, his voice continuing to ring out.

"This treasure is more than enough to make an Antiquity…but I cannot utilize the skills of the Great Usurper to enter such a dangerous Dimension as my level is too low, and I wouldn\'t survive in this place for even a few seconds. That is where our partnership lies…I\'ll need you to help me ascend through the realms of power quickly!"

RUMBLE!

Noah\'s cards were revealed as the Hegemony of Love came out of her stupor, looking at Noah with careful eyes as she spoke out with hesitation.

"I could help you achieve the Galactic Filament Realm in a few days, but helping achieve Hegemony will be extremely hard! Building a Universe from the billions of Galaxies you have to form and then connect takes too long, with the fastest Hegemonies taking tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years to reach it!"

She shook her head with frustration as she didn\'t expect this ordeal to take so long, but her gaze caught Noah\'s expression that was still smiling coldly, his voice lulling into her ears.

"No. It will not be something that even takes weeks. I can raise my power to the Realm of a Hegemony in mere days if need be…depending on what you are willing to do."

WAA!

A domineering air erupted out as Noah said so, the Hegemony before him feeling a chilling light erupt from his eyes as her own eyes turned sharp!
