In the violet sea of Entropy, where Noah sat with his son, his figure radiated majesty, wrapped in a semi-crescent ring of blue-gold clouds, swirling with regality and quiet tyranny.
Above him, a dazzling crown of stellar clouds blood into existence- trillions of runic, blue-gold infinity symbols floating in perfect synchronicity. It hovered above his head like it had always belonged there.
The stellar blue gold clouds pulsed with a symphony of light, each ring a song of glory. And Noah wasn't alone. His son sat beside him, his presence buzzing with growing imnsity as the weavings of the First Tier of Noah's True Origin Osmontian Paracausal Lineage began to unfurl around him.
He was the foremost Paracausal Infinitum Veinbearer of all.
His Progeny.
Golden clouds, though slightly less intense, ford around Henry. A crown of golden infinity symbols- billions of them, spiraled into being above his head as his body trembled with newfound power. His Complexity and Purity surged in ways he couldn't have imagined just seconds ago.
He looked up at the glowing crown of starlit clouds, then turned his eyes to his father. There was sothing unspoken in his gaze.
His father had given him everything.
And all Henry wanted was…
"I just… I want to make you proud," he whispered, voice nearly lost in the sea of violet entropy. They were alone, yet the words ca out small, uncertain.
Noah looked at his son, a small sense of sadness flickering in his expression as Henry continued, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I want to matter. To show you I can be of use. To help you, not just as your son, but as soone who chooses to stand with you. But every ti, you always feel just out of reach. Just a bit far. I just…"
Henry stood on the precipice of imnse change. A choice of any of his father's True Sources was his to make. He could beco a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon- an entity of staggering Complexity and Purity.
And yet, it wasn't power he spoke of.
It was love.
At that mont, Noah placed a hand on his son's shoulder.
"My own child matters more to than anything else. For not telling you this sooner, I'm sorry. For never giving you the words you deserved, I'm sorry. You could speak the day you were born… and I never treated you like the child you were."
…!
"I should have done better. And I will do better. I am endlessly proud of what you've accomplished- even with a father like who steals the very weavings of existence and bends them toward himself. But pride… pride isn't the goal. Joy is. Freedom is. Love is. You are my son, and I will give you everything I never had."
He smiled, soft and filled with serenity.
His own father had given him nothing but life.
He would be better.
"Take your inheritance. Never fear anything from . As long as you spend ti with your mother, care for your grandmother, and treat your woman well—that is all I could ever ask of you. If you want more- combat, ascension, strength...there's a Crucible waiting for you. One you can enter the mont your Lineage's Complexity settles."
…!
His words carried the weight of Omniverses.
And Henry, overwheld yet grounded, nodded.
He looked closely at his father one more ti before he looked inward.
His mind danced with possibilities. He had once chosen Singed.
But now, he closed his eyes- and sensed the infinite threads his father had laid out before him.
And...
"Infinity," he said.
...!
And the word changed everything.
A burst of endless blue brilliance exploded from Henry. Complexity and Purity surged from his core, ascending and swelling, devouring the limits that once bound him!
Noah watched with a proud, quiet smile.
He saw the transformation take place- what every entity faced when embracing a True Source. A rewriting of existence.
A realignnt of Origin, Body, and Soul to Infinity itself for Henry.
So long as Henry continued to seek resonance with this Source, his Purity would rise.
So long as he explored its infinite faces, his Complexity would deepen.
And now Noah sought to make sense of it all- to give structure to the boundless.
To define power.
He looked at his son, watched as his power surged, and compared them to the Records—both of the Living and the Dead he had annihilated.
And slowly, as only the Weaver of Existence could, Noah wove a system to asure the imasurable.
|The Quantification System of True Sources, known as the Source Quotient of Ascension (SQA), has been designed.|
…!
|The Source Quotient of Ascension is a dual-value system that evaluates a being's mastery of a True Source using the Complexity Quotient (CQ) and the Purity Quotient (PQ). Each Quotient is asured in "Source Units (SU)," derived from progression rate, Source comprehension, alignnt depth, existential structure manipulation, and resistance to Source Collapse.|
|CQ and PQ of a Nascent Source-Bearer: 100–999 SU|
|CQ and PQ of a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon: 1,000–9,999 SU|
|CQ of a Converged Architect: 10,000–99,999 SU | PQ: 1,000–99,999 SU|
|CQ and PQ of a Resplendent Monad: 10,000–99,999 SU|
|CQ and PQ of a Primarch: 100,000–999,999 SU|
A cascade of prompts flashed before Noah's eyes, systemizing the power of True Source entities.
His gaze sharpened. A blue panel filled with green light blood above Henry.
NA: Henry Osmont
TITLE: Harmonized Sourcebound Icon
TRUE SOURCE: Infinity
CQ: 1,102 SU | PQ: 1,392 SU
STATUS: Complexity and Purity Surge in Progress
THREAT RATING: Green (Low)
Henry, only monts into his ascension, already showed quantified values that rose by the second. And Noah couldn't predict where they would settle.
As Henry closed his eyes and embraced the inheritance, Noah's attention shifted.
He turned toward the Infiniverse Crucible- his eyes locking onto the Great Beyonder, who was currently retreating as another of Noah's bodies unleashed trillions of fireballs upon her, each carrying the destructive elegance of the True Source of Singed.
A blue-green panel flickered into view.
NA: The Great Beyonder
TITLE: Resplendent Monad
TRUE SOURCE: Runes
CQ: 10,225 SU | PQ: 10,542 SU
STATUS: Stable
THREAT RATING: Green (Low)
Noah's gaze moved again, this ti to Arthur, the Sea of Ash.
NA: Arthur, the Sea of Ash
TITLE: Resplendent Monad
TRUE SOURCE: Asche
CQ: 19,895 SU | PQ: 22,242 SU
STATUS: Stable
THREAT RATING: Green (Low)
His eyes glead with intensity.
He had begun to see Existence not just as a weaving of power- but as sothing he could asure, refine, and control.
Until, at last, his gaze turned inward.
To himself!
