What if he was there?
He hadn't even asked this with his body, the one that was actually inside the Infinite Ravines.
No.
He asked it with his weavings inside the Wheel of Existence, and the Great Beyonder could not call that false!
And the mont he did…
The fair face of the Great Beyonder here in the Hollow Cascade of Reversed Causality changed.
Shock.
Disbelief.
And then, rising anger!
The seas of complex authorities rising around her erupted in heavy waves as she roared.
"You…YOU! I told you—!"
Her voice cracked with emotion, her eyes burning with a mixture of fury and disbelief as if she couldn't fathom that he would actually co here!
After she'd explicitly told him not to.
His weavings could get locked down in this place.
His newly born True Source could be bound here.
And there was a rising enemy in the Wheel of Existence one only he could face.
He was their greatest hope.
But what had he done?
He had…
He had actually shown up.
Noah looked at the furious Great Beyonder—and as her full, unveiled complexity surged from her, he grew somber.
She was miles ahead of him it seed. In raw complexity, in command of her True Source.
She could actually suppress the very structure of his True Source of the Singed if he didn't explain himself here.
So, he did with one sentence.
Enough to stop all doubt.
"I have two True Sources."
…!
The billowing form of the raging Great Beyonder froze, millions of Runes flashing within her eyes as they sharpened and turned icy.
"…What?"
Noah simply repeated himself, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I have two True Sources. One is here. One is already battling the Dead Thing inside the Wheel right now."
…!
The dark sea of trillions of complex Runes around her stilled.
Her eyes churned with disbelief, suspicion, and confusion, but she didn't speak.
She had seen so much.
Over the years, she'd witnessed wonders. Faced impossibilities and walked through layers of existence most beings couldn't fathom.
She had ruled in the galos Beyond, dominated multiple Frequencies, and had an unfathomable Outerversal Lineage flowing through her blood.
She had seen countless complexities.
But this?
Two True Sources of Existence?
"…"
She didn't say anything at first.
Her mind was always open to possibilities…but this?
This was unthinkable.
Noah sighed.
He raised a hand.
His True Source of the Singed pulsed, burning away the reversed causality in their imdiate space.
He summoned an illusory image, and there he was.
Fighting Bob.
His other self appeared as his form was wrapped in the stellar allure of a True Source of Existence, black halos spilling seas of reality into space.
Across from him, Bob—his body pulsing with Khaos was tearing existence apart!
With every blow exchanged, they shattered entire Frequencies, ripping across the Weave and only to reappear elsewhere right after.
And this whole ti?
Bob had only been using Khaos.
The black and white Wheels behind him hadn't even been fully activated yet.
Noah was waiting and preparing for when they were utilized!
The Great Beyonder watched it all with pitch black eyes.
She shook her head, staring at him like he was an alien!
"Inconceivable…multiple True Sources? That's the very foundation and definition of a being. To have more than one, it should be unstable and impossible. How were you…?"
Her eyes narrowed sharply, glowing with dangerous curiosity.
She examined him, top to bottom.
Noah didn't answer her gaze.
Instead, he asked.
"Tell about the Infinite Ravines and where we are right now. I'm curious about the Dead Things here."
He had tried spreading his weavings far—but the Wild True Source of Causality resisted.
Here, the farther you stretched, the more violent the pushback as there were limits.
But more than that, he was curious about the structure of the Ravines themselves.
Too vast for even the idea of distance!
The Great Beyonder watched him.
Still quiet.
Still processing.
Then finally…
"I don't understand you."
…!
She said it quietly.
"I don't understand you, but if you say you have two True Sources…then you have two. I won't deny impossibilities as we are in desperate need of them."
WAA!
She raised her right hand, motioning to everything around them.
"I welco you to the Gateway Domus of the Wheel of Existence, The Hollow Cascade of Reversed Causality."
"Your weavings were unique enough to find this place without having to trace the flow of the Wheel."
Her tone shifted and beca serious and grim.
"Places like this, Gateway Domus, they're unknown in number, but in the past few eons…many have been closed off and rged into others."
…!
She continued.
"Think of the Gateway Domus as massive doors. If one of those doors is about to break, if it's about to be breached by a Dead Thing, the Wheel rges it with another because the Wheel can't just…close the door."
"The Infinite Ravines is made up of these Doors, and do you know why they're being rged?"
She asked the question.
Noah didn't hesitate as he sighed and nodded.
"Because the defenders of those Gateway Domus were either defeated or no longer there."
…!
Defeated.
Or gone.
Legends- beings who had once achieved their True Source!
The Great Beyonder nodded slowly, closing her eyes.
"Yes. Half and half. So fell, and so were worn down by ti…or waves of Dead Things.
And others, they just left. An exodus of True Sources. They had defended for millions of years and faced endless assaults, and now, they grew tired and left. So now, Gateway Domus collapse and rge. Two Wild True Sources can be in one place. It becos harder for Dead Things to breach, but also harder for any defender to maintain integrity."
…!
"And the Wheel? It moves with logic and calculates what's necessary. If it sees a door is failing, it rges it based on who's inside. It asures complexity and sees if those within can handle the rge. If so, it proceeds as things are that dire."
She turned to him, voice sharp again.
"And now that you're here, the complexity of this Gateway Domus has changed. What the Wheel thought this door could handle has changed. I wouldn't be surprised if-…!
HUUUUM!
As if existence itself wanted to prove her right.
The Hollow Cascade of Reversed Causality began to shake.
