Chapter 4852: I Am Not! II
He wanted to ask many things.
How had THE Primordial Paradox opened a passage to The Interstices? What method had he used apart from what Noah knew from THE Mnemonic Leviathan? There were many questions!
But he focused on himself and the Immensity that he felt.
First, the Apophasis. A single one, but with three components!
|I am not limited by the weight that crashes against me. My existence is not incapable of bearing that which seeks to overwhelm it. I am not collapsible under the Immensity of what I have claimed.|
...!
In the future, whatever he had any weight of an absolute crashing against him, whenever he had any power seeking to overwhelm him...this Apophasis would be there to help him! And whatever Absolute he would collapse and claim in the future, this Apophasis would already be there like a bastion of protection!
Oh!
He stood like a primordial beast on the deck of Naglfar, his transformed figure radiating authority that pushed back against the undefined space around them. His wings spread wide, blue-gold feathers burning with linguistic power. His crown of burning books blazed above his head as he took in every single ounce of Depth left behind by a powerful Absolute.
The weight continued to flow into him.
But now, with his Apophasis in place, it no longer threatened to collapse him.
|Foundation Analysis - Updated|
|Integration of Absolute authority proceeding|
|The infinite potential of the weight and Immensity being inherited from THE Storm That Hungers is elevating your foundations significantly|
|Current status: The Immensity and weight of your Foundation at Fundamental Depth is now 68% comparable to that of THE Creature|
|However, after observing THE Primordial Paradox, I need to note something|
|Although not fully accurate due to limited data, the Foundation of your Fundamental Depth compared to THE Primordial Paradox when he was at Fundamental Depth before he became Absolute...|
|Is at 45% comparatively|
|THE Primordial Paradox built a grander foundation than THE Creature did at the same stage|
|Shall calculations be based on THE Primordial Paradox instead of THE Creature?|
BOOM!
The words from RUINATION were actually heavy.
They made a distinction between THE Creature and THE Primordial Paradox that Noah hadn’t considered before. Somehow, THE Primordial Paradox was actually the one who had built the grandest foundation compared to these beings. The one who had accumulated the most weight before making the leap to Absolute.
Of course, as she mentioned, this might not be fully accurate. If he met THE Creature again, the calculations might scale up to potentially show him as the one who led in foundational weight.
But as of right now, every other entity was left behind as THE Primordial Paradox pulled into the lead.
...!
Noah gave the silent command to utilize the comparative weight of THE Primordial Paradox as the new baseline.
|Recalibrating|
|Foundation of Fundamental Depth: 45% comparable to THE Primordial Paradox at equivalent stage|
|This is actually remarkable progress given the time differential|
|Additionally, I need to note something about the authority you’re currently absorbing|
|As THE First Tongue, the Way of THE Paradox of Consumption can theoretically be embodied as a Derivative Civilization|
|However, it is too similar to your existing Derivative Civilization of Hunger|
|The Derivative Civilization of Hunger is currently moving within your existence|
|It has begun consuming the Immensity that stands as THE Paradox of Consumption|
|When the Derivative Civilization of Hunger finishes devouring everything that is the Civilization of THE Paradox of Consumption, its Immensity and standing can be pushed above Fundamental|
|It can become Half-Step Absolute|
|You can make the choice on whether to allow your Derivative Civilizations to take this step to Half-Step Absolute while your main Way and Civilization continues across its Formless Depth|
|Your core remains where it needs to be before making the jump to Absolute, it disdains Half-Step|
|But your derivatives can advance ahead of you|
BOOM!
...!
Inside all of his existence, Noah felt like countless jaws of hunger had erupted.
They were chomping down on the Immensity of Impundulu that was crashing all around him, devouring the authority that had threatened to collapse him moments before. The Derivative Civilization of Hunger was not waiting for permission. It was already feeding, already growing, already reaching toward something that Noah himself had not yet grasped.
And these jaws of hunger were telling him something.
The intent was clear, flowing through the connection between himself and his Derivative Civilization.
We can actually grasp a glimmer of the Absolute for you, big man! Half-Step. You don’t have to bother with it yourself, but as derivatives, we can help!
...!
This was the message he was feeling from the Derivative Way of Hunger.
When it came to this decision, Noah didn’t hesitate.
He gave his permission.
|Decision Registered|
|The Derivative Civilization of Hunger is going forward to grasp a glimmer of Absolute|
|Even if it is only Half a Step, this is significant|
|Musings of Paradox have influenced its evolution greatly|
|The Way it is developing carries the essence of what it consumed:|
|That which feeds grows stronger, yet that which grows stronger must feed more|
|An endless hunger is blooming within your existence|
|Current assessment: This could potentially be even grander in the future|
|If you could turn this endless hunger into a genuine infinity...|
|An Infinity of Hunger|
...!
The prompts showed what could potentially be a possibility for the future.
Noah looked at them grandly as he felt the shift occurring within his existence. The Derivative Civilization of Hunger was advancing, reaching toward Half-Step Absolute while his core Civilization remained at Formless Depth. It was like having a scout who could explore territory that the main force wasn’t yet ready to enter.
His dominating figure rose up.
He stood strong on the deck of Naglfar as he took in what remained of the Depth of Impundulu. The crashing weight of the Absolute that had threatened to collapse him moments before was no longer so overbearing on his existence.
His Apophasis held.
His Derivative Civilization fed.
And his foundations grew with every moment that passed!
He looked at the surrounding Weavings of The Interstices with eyes that burned blue-gold.
The Primary Veins stretched out around them, Primordial Gray pillars rising from endless darkness. The space between Observable and Unobservable pressed against Naglfar from all directions, but the indestructible ship cut through it like a blade through water.
And everywhere Noah looked, he saw Corrupted Growths.
They clung to the pillars. They floated in the undefined air. They clustered in the spaces between pathways like moss on ancient stones.
He sent a flicker of his immense weight into the surroundings.
A pulse of authority that radiated outward from his position, touching everything within his perception. The Corrupted Growths that it contacted shriveled and died, their twisted forms purified into golden light that flowed back toward him!
Even here, even while absorbing the Depth of an Absolute, he could still cleanse!
And as he did, he replenished an Absolute Everything he had just utilized!
THE Primordial Paradox had been leaning back on his throne with his eyes closed.
He breathed in and out with the measured rhythm of someone finishing a meal, the authority of Popobawa fully integrated into his already immense foundations. His figure seemed grand and majestic despite the tiredness that lurked beneath the surface as at this time, he used the arrow that was the artifact which should be Noah’s from the Impundulu as a toothpick.
With his eyes still closed, he spoke.
"You swallowed an Absolute."
His voice was contemplative.
"All that happened was your Immensity rising. It seems like you are working on your foundation the most before you even grasp Absolute."
A faint smile touched his obsidian features.
"You are on the right path, Youngest."
He paused, letting those words settle.
"Absolute can be a set of stairs that you can walk upon to go toward the next Scale of Existence. Or it can be a cliff that one can never escape from because their foundation was too weak."
...!
