Long author note
(A/n someone had asked about MC Cultivation level, another guy replied to that and said mc was Rank 5 Liquid after 300 years and is considered weak.
That isn't exactly true. Noah Balvan achieved Rank 5 Liquid Dantian at age of 200, he then achieved Rank 5 Solid Dantian at 300 years old.
Noah Balvan became a Hybrid at Rank 4, being a Hybrid allows one to devours other people's Dantians to progress faster than ordinary Cultivation, also Noah had become apart of The Hive organisation from when he was barely a Rank 3 Cultivator.
The Hive was an organisation that allowed the individuals within to freely Cultivate while Mc Tallon is restricted because of King Elbas and the Royals applying pressure on all the different houses, clans and Sects in the Utra Nation.
King Elbas and the Royals will do anything to make anyone of Rank 5 Gaseous or Rank 4 Solid join their Faction and become loyal to them.
Tallon had also been prioritising the strength and advancement of the individuals in his Sect so that they can all become Rank 5 and he can become Rank 6 at the same time, thus become his own Powerhouse with nothing to fear.
Also he knew he would easily become a Rank 6 being when plot begins because of a event with the Piece of the Immortal Lands falling that he will take advantage of.
Also in comparison of age to Rank, Tallon is still hundreds of years ahead of the next greatest prodigy to achieve Rank 5 Liquid.
Noah achieved Rank 5 Liquid in 180 to 200 years.
Tallon achieved Rank 5 Liquid in 250 years but been stuck for 50 years since he was doing various other things.
The next greatest prodigy in history achieved Rank 5 Liquid in 500 to 600 years based on what was said in the novel I believe.
Also Rank 5 Liquid and Rank 5 Solid cultivators are highly valued, and are rarely used for major conflicts since its hard to aquire and nature another one.
There is a Rank 5 Liquid female water Cultivator of the Empire that Noah fights in the war with the Empire. She was quoted to be the most hardest to kill out of all the ones Noah had fought, she was even stronger than Rank 5 Solid Cultivators Noah had fought before.
Rallon has a peak Rank 5 Solid battle prowess, meaning he can fight Peak Ramk 5 Solid individuals despite being Rank 5 Liquid, its all because of his abilities and spells he has created thus far.)

Mortal Lands - Niflheim territory:
Tallon (real body) pov:
I spoke with Ciri after a day or two from our first interaction.
I don't actually keep track of time since I sleep for days at a time, maybe a month if I'm lazy.
*boom*
"Ahh, the life of a Neet is amazing, but alas it must come to an end."
Muttering aloud, I got up from off my bed as I headed over to my window to look at the source of the explosion that had disrupted my pleasent nap.
From the balcony I could see numerous ships that hovered high in the air as many troops in metallic armour with a bone like appearance descended from it to the ground.
"Oh, the Wild Hunt has come for Ciri. It's still quite surprising that the Aen Elle elves, are actually capable of traversing worlds to chase after Ciri. If I'm not mistaken, that one next to Eredin is Caranthir, the chief Navigator and Avallac'h's former apprentice, who can navigate through The Spiral to traverse worlds like Ciri can."
Hmm, if I kill Imlerith here nothing much would change, only a higher chance of Vesimer surviving.
"Ariel"
"Yes sir!" A voice echoed in the room behind me as I still faced the attacking force.
"Send out those in the Heroic Ranks, primarily Rank the Rank 5 Elders, to deal with our attackers, and to destroy a majority of the attacking force except for that ship." I said while I pointed out the lead vessel that Eredin and Caranthir were on.
Ariel didn't say anything as she left to carry out my orders.
...
What transpired was quite boring to say the least.
Had it been an Unseen Elder vampire it would be a good fight.
The Unseen Elder would be comparable to a Rank 6 Gaseous Being with how terrifying its power is.
Only Gaunter O'Dimm is higher since he is a Devil, a God or an Higher Dimensional Demon that makes wishes in exchange for Human Souls.
The Rank 5 Elders made quick work of the ships and the Wild Hunt forces, as with each spell or Martial Technique unleashed, they effortlessly destroyed a ship in the process or hundreds of Aen Elle.
The massacre was so much I actually had to tell them to slow down the killing so I could enjoy the show.
Ciri arrived on the battlefield but noticed the slaughter, I had Ariel bring her to my Chambers and we watched the spectacle unfold.
Eredin and Caranthir had to make a full retreat when they saw that the Commander of the Riders Imlerith, was captured.
"Well the Ciri, what will you do with Imlerith?" I asked Cirilla as we both stood in front of a gagged and restrained Imlerith.
"I-"
"I think I should tell you something, actually it's better if I show you."
I touched Ciri on the head a d transfered her the memory that I had of the cutscene that played out in the game, although I modified it to be realistic.
I showed Ciri the battle of Kaer Mohan and how everyone was frozen by Caranthir's spell when they breached the inner gate to the courtyard.
I showed the fight of Eskel vs Caranthir and Vesimer saving Ciri from the Wild Hunt as he fought against Imlerith.
However, he was beaten and they threatened to kill Vesimer if she didn't go with them.
Besides realising this, ended up attacking Imlerith with a hidden dagger but Imlerith snapped his neck in turn.
Ciri lost control of her emotions and unleashed a uncontrolled rage filled by the Elderblood.
Only when Avallac'h arrived did he stop Ciri's uncontrolled use of the Elderblood before she accidentally destroyed the entire region.
In the end Eredin and the Wild Hunt had retreated but Vesimer was the only casualty on the defenders side.
When I finished showing everything to Ciri I could sense she was about to lose control of her emotions but she was able to reign them in since I diluted the emotions she felt when seeing the memory.
Ciri's eyes were bloodshot as she turned to face Imlerith who was confused by the situation and knew his imminent death was approaching.
He tried to move away from Ciri who approached him with her blade Zireael, which translates into "Swallow" in common language from the Aen Elle elven language.
Imlerith was bound still so he clumsily moved away from her like a worm in his hulking armour.
Ciri raised her sword to his neck as she slowly dragged it sideways.
Imlerith choked on his own blood from his cut throat as the light faded from his eyes, confussion on his face as to why he died in such a way not knowing of the future murder he would had one day committed.
Ciri didn't clean her blade of Imlerith's blood as instead she just stared at his corpse with hollow eyes.
I was going to speak up but she had beaten me to it.
"Thank you." Was all she said before she wandered back to her room.
She needs time to take in what happened, given she just saw the memory of Veimer's death but had prevented it by killing Imlerith here and now.
A few days went by and I was still waiting for my [Shadow Copy] to return to this world with the Elderblood he still had.
It should be enough to return to around about a month or so from when he first left because the Elderblood can bypass any sort of Time Dialation between the two worlds.
Meaning I need to wait a month or so in this world but for my [Shadow Copy] in the Elden Ring verse, it could be 5,000 years.
?!?!
Oh fuck!
I can sense that presence!
It's one im familiar with since it belongs to a distinct individual.
Thaddeus Elbas, one of the Royals and the one in charge of the Royal Academy.
And the one next to him must be Lisa Elbas, Captain of the Royal Guard.
I could sense and see them from a great distance away because I had arranged numerous sensory devices throughout me territory for situations like this.
"Oh fuck no am I dealing with them now!" I declared, mostly to myself as I took out a vial of containing more of Ciri's blood.
I didn't tell her I was taking her blood, I don't need much anyway so I secretly take it from her as I made sure she was rendered unconscious in her sleep.
Summoning Ariel to my side I informed her of my plans.
"I'll be gone for a few days possibly, if the Royals come then tell them to please wait in the guest rooms for my return because I didn't expect their unannounced and suprise visit. Try to appease them and make sure they don't find out about Ciri or her abilities. If worst comes yo worst, take Ciri and flee the territory to the Archipelago and find out a way to join The Hive as members."
"Yes sir, but where will you be going?"
I twirled the vial if Elderblood in my hands before I made another [Shadow Copy] and had it active it and teleport to another world.
Meanwhile, I prepared my own teleporation destination so that I can go to a secluded and safe hideout I had prepared, in order to focus and immerse myself in a kind of VR experience while I took primary control over my second [Shadow Copy].
"Oh, I'm going to be getting a lovely spider maid, maybe a Waifu."
Ariel was perplexed at the unfamiliar word "Waifu" before noticing I had left.
I then immersed myself in possessing the second [Shadow Copy] as my real body was safe inside a protected space whil my Blood Companions emerged from the numerous blood Tattoos on my body in order to keep watch and guard my real body as experience what a organic VR is like.
Where did my second [Shadow Copy] go to?
I had sent it to the anime world of "So I'm A Spider, So What?!", but I sent it to Earth so it can join Kumoko and Wakaba (Goddess "D" in disguise) so I can befriend them.
Since I know that Kumoko, the classroom Spider will be given the memories of "D" when she disguised herself as Wakaba, making Kumoko think she is actually Wakaba from the start.
I made my [Shadow Copy] take on a teen appearance and join the school all the soon to be reincarnated classmates were in.
I saw Shun and he was a absolute naive brat, it pissed me off how he acted, but I don't care. I'm going to get Kumoko her future Shiraori Human form appearance way faster then leave that doomed world ASAP.
Alright!
Let's do this!
