Noah had inquired about Primordial Civilizations!
THE Dead Order regarded him with cold intensity, her expression seemingly still processing his admitted transgression against what she considered sacred principle.
Her eyes burned as if she was determining how to proceed given her inability to directly punish behavior that genuinely offended her foundations.
"If you cease the siphoning of my Order imdiately, I will reveal certain information to you. Information regarding Primordial Civilizations and their fundantal distinctions from lesser
fraworks. That seems...to be an equitable exchange given current circumstances."
Her tone wanted absolutely no negotiation, presenting this as reasonable compromise rather than request!
But...
At such proposition, Noah shook his head with gesture of amusent and absolute refusal.
"No. That's not happening."
Stop the siphoning? Hah!
The very suggestion bordered on absurd given how advantageous the current arrangent proved for their developnt.
He elaborated with finality.
"However, you must possess considerable curiosity regarding THE Living Paradox and his recent manifestation. I will share the comprehensive details of my encounter with him...including his aims and objectives. He may have actually ntioned you specifically during our interaction, which I imagine would prove rather illuminating from your perspective.."
Not an iota of shit was ntioned regarding THE Dead Order, but it was good to fluff things up!
The ntion of THE Living Paradox caused THE Dead Order to beco instantly silent, her cold expression shifting towards genuine interest beneath her careful composure.
After brief contemplation, she said simply.
"Okay. That exchange I will accept."
She looked between Noah and Sigrid as if deliberately filing away his admitted desecration of Order for future consideration...placing it in ntal storage rather than dwelling on sothing she currently lacked power to address.
"Originally, my Guiders of Order were already mobilizing toward The Lands of The Living to investigate both THE Living Paradox's appearance and your unusual ergence. But since I have you positioned before now, I can redirect them toward more imdiately important matters."
Her expression hardened slightly with implicit threat.
"That arrangent persists until such ti as I successfully cross to the other side to ensure you all cease this siphoning...should you persist in maintaining it indefinitely."
...!
Noah's eyes flashed sharply.
There exists sothing THE Dead Order considers more important than addressing Sigrid and THE Living Paradox's manifestation? What could possibly warrant higher priority than those existential concerns?
After articulating this veiled warning, THE Dead Order waved her
hands.
Behind her massive form, a trendous white throne materialized, constructed from marbled pillars of pure Order that assembled
themselves.
She proceeded to seat herself upon it with regality, her figure emanating profound waves of majesty that made the surrounding conceptual space adjust to acknowledge her sovereignty.
When she spoke again, her voice was grand!
"For you to genuinely comprehend what it ans when discussing Primordial Civilizations, you don't require lengthy theoretical exposition. You simply need to experience a conversation I once shared with THE Creature himself...his words always illuminated more than any explanation ever could."
...!
A conversation that Order had with THE Creature.
Noah's eyes intensified with focused interest as he asked imdiately.
"When would this conversation have occurred?"
THE Dead Order smiled with an expression mixing nostalgia.
"Ti doesn't truly matter in the grand sche of existence's trajectory, but for specificity: this exchange occurred shortly before the completion of THE Loom. At that juncture, THE Creature had grown nostalgic regarding the distant past...The Lands of The Dead had long been established as separate domain, and he appeared before carrying sense of profound lancholy."
Her voice shifted, taking on a quality suggesting she was channeling THE Creature's actual words.
"He asked : 'Why is it that with grander and grander complexity, we progressively lose the fundantal simplicity of existence itself? Do you rember the truly earliest tis? When Origin first introduced herself to with such innocent enthusiasm? When Concept erged and made things delightfully easy to understand?" "When Inevitabilities seed like formidable monsters worthy of genuine concern rather than manageable nuisances?""
She paused, allowing the weight of those questions to settle.
"Why could we not retain that sa beautiful simplicity as we advanced? Why must sophistication invariably breed complications that obscure rather than illuminate?""
HUUM!
THE Dead Order's smile carried a mixture of regret and
self-recrimination as she continued.
"At that ti, I was not in optimal ntal state...I was still processing
my own collapse. So I replied with unfortunate bluntness"
"You happened, O Creature. You gave away your Everythings and initiated the race of Civilizations. This entire catastrophic trajectory
traces back to your fundantal generosity."
BOOM!
THE Creature began the race of Civilizations?
The revelation landed with seismic implications!
...!
THE Dead Order shook her head with a gesture holding lingering
sha.
"I imdiately regretted having said such an accusatory assessnt to a being who was dedicating everything toward collective benefit. But he seed to understand my emotional state rather than taking offense. He only smiled with that characteristic patience and nodded before responding...
Her voice shifted again, channeling THE Creature's reply.
"Yes, all of this can reasonably be considered My fault in ultimate
accounting. I set things in motion through my choices and actions. I deliberately allowed everything to be free...for entities to pursue what they wished, to explore the endless expanse of existence according to their own determinations rather than my imposed structure."
She paused significantly.
"If I had reigned things in early, exercised controlling authority when
initial problems erged... perhaps The Primordial Civilization of Paradox would not have expanded so rampantly. If my own Primordial
Civilization wasn't left to operate freely, maybe none of this would be
transpiring. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe."
BOOM!
When she reached this point in her recollection, THE Dead Order
looked directly at Noah from her white throne with her eyes carrying the weight of revelation about to be delivered.
"The Primordial Civilization of THE Creature was so imnse, so fundantally threatening to basic continuation, that Paradox felt unfathomably intimidated. Little Thing...do you comprehend what the Primordial Civilization of THE Creature actually represents? What it
was? What it is?"
