Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 826 - 460: A Single Thought of God and Demon, Resurrection of the First King

But as soon as Noah withdrew the root power of the world, pitch-black thunder appeared again, making the scales between Noah's brows stand upright. Yet, even if Noah washed it with root power again, an endless source of the power of hell would still emerge.

"The source!"

Noah quickly abandoned the futile act of washing this Titan body. He had come to realize very clearly that the reason this Titan was continuously surging with the power of hell was because there was a problem with the source of its body's bloodline.

Therefore, no matter how much Noah cleansed, it was useless unless he could directly solve the source issue, or simply destroy this Titan body, so that even if the will of hell wanted to project, it would have no way.

However, this was naturally not the solution Noah would choose. He eventually spent half a day inscribing a rune array on Tidel's body, encompassing its muscles, bones, and flesh.

Its effect was to suppress the evil energy originating from hell. This array inscribed on Tidel's body would collect the continuously emerging power of hell, suppressing it and gathering it in one place. Once reaching a certain point, it would give Noah a sense of it.

Noah would be responsible for cleaning up the formed power of hell. This was the only temporary solution Noah could think of for now. As for a fundamental solution, he would have to wait until he truly became the Dragon King.

After Noah handled the Titan body, the originally pitch-black thunder no longer appeared. Instead, dragon patterns crisscrossed on the Titan body, resembling light armor at a glance.

"Hmm, no!"

Noah surveyed the dragon pattern sealing array before him. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, bringing new thoughts. However, after looking at the two soul fragments he had split in his hand, Noah still placed back the soul fragment carrying Tidel's will.

"Noah."

When the Titan Giant opened its eyes again, the previous sinister and angry expression was gone, replaced by gentleness and guilt.

"Sorry for the troubles I've caused you!"

"What troubles? Do I look tired to you?"

Noah couldn't help but smile wryly.

"You have become so strong now."

Tidel looked up at the current Noah. At this moment, the world will still hadn't withdrawn its support for Noah, because the will that had been born from the interference of the hell will was still gripped in Noah's claw.

"What you're seeing now is not my true self; it's merely the strength the world lends me."

Though speaking this way, Noah already comprehended in his heart that whenever a conflict with external forces occurred, the world will would provide him with maximum support, especially when facing the Abyss Will, which was aggressive and had the potential to bring apocalyptic disasters down from lower planes. It would unreservedly give support.

In other words, in external wars, Noah was equivalent to the Dragon King. In internal conflicts, even without the support of the world will, relying on the gigantic beast enforcers allocated to him by the world will, Noah could practically sweep any continent without moving a muscle.

"But even so, you've surpassed my father, haven't you?"

Tidel marveled as he looked at the present Noah.

Everything that happened after the unsealing of Time-Space Amber, though he couldn't participate in, was clear in his mind. Noah's might had already surpassed the father figure in his memories.

"There's still a bit of a gap!"

Noah knew that, in some aspects, he was like his foster father Casius, and that his situation and state were much better than Casius'.

The wills of lower planes were too extreme. The most typical was the Abyss Will, chaotic and disorderly. The hell will was slightly better but not by much.

"I can't solve uncle's problem right now; it will take some time."

"It's alright, Noah. You've done well enough."

Tidel sensed the anxiety in Noah's words and couldn't help but console him. Finally, he cast his eyes on the soul fragment in Noah's hand, which was his soul, containing a personality split from the hell will.

"Noah, can you seal it within my body? I want to attempt to control it."

"Control? Do you know how dangerous that is? Your body already has considerable hidden dangers."

Hearing Tidel's request, Noah furrowed his brows deeply.

"I know, but I must face it, and can't keep avoiding it, right?"

"What are you going to use to face it? That's the will of hell!"

Noah emphasized, seeing the vehement reaction of the world will to understand the danger posed by the hell will — a mere mortal, thinking he could challenge the hell will.

"I'm not facing hell will directly, just another version of myself."

With a relaxed yet relieved smile, Tidel continued,

"Besides, even if I fail, isn't there still you?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"You're giving him a chance. Once his restraints are loosened, the harm he could inflict would be unimaginable even for you."

"But that part is also my soul. If I don't reclaim it, what achievements could I possibly have, having lost that soul part? I can't even control my current body smoothly."

Tidel slowly raised his palm. But even such a simple action felt tinged with bitterness for this seemingly powerful Titan Giant.

"Noah, do you want to see me remain in this state?"

"As you wish!"

The World Master Dragon King ultimately chose to compromise. Yet even as he returned the soul he held to Tidel, he wrapped it in layer upon layer of seals first before returning it to Tidel's body.

This ensured that this will could not compete with Tidel for control of the body, at least not in the short term. As for the long term, Noah couldn't guarantee anything as the source of this thing was the hell will.

"Mm-hmm!"

When the soul tainted by hell re-entered his body, Tidel inevitably let out a groan of pain, a look of disgust and nausea on his face.

"How do you feel? If it doesn't work, I can help you pull it out."

Noah monitored Tidel's reactions, ready to act anytime. However, this recently revived original king firmly refused Noah's offer,

"No, just like this, it's quite fine."

"Is it?"

Noah watched the fellow in front of him struggling to smile, clearly seeing that the soul he had just torn apart was reintegrated again.

Yet, due to the seal he set, the black mass did not taint the entire soul again, and Tidel's will wasn't once more suppressed.

The process must have been anything but pleasant. Tidel's response, as well as the trembling of his body, made it evident.

The revived Tidel, having not completely severed the hell will's influence, no longer faced the threat of life's end or blood energy depletion.

As a price, he would constantly endure and face threats from hell. However, half a month later, Tidel with heterochromatic eyes appeared before Noah.

"How did you manage it?"

The power accorded by the world will had already receded like the tide, but seeing Tidel before him once again tainted by hell's malice didn't make Noah overly tense.

This was because Tidel's will was still in charge; the evil will hadn't behaved as aggressively when it was first placed back, instead only being partially released and knowingly lying dormant.

"It was merely a trade with the devil. He transferred all his power to me, and I took him to see scenery he had never witnessed before, beyond just browsing my memories."

Tidel smiled as his left eye gleamed like molten gold while the right was dark like an abyss. Staring into them seemed to draw one's soul out and plunge into them.

"You agreed just like that?"

"Yes!"

"Did you believe him?"

"Of course not. Neither of us had a choice, but I always have you to rely on."
