Existence was a struggle and Existence was unfair. Noah knew this very well by this point as he did not need anybody to tell him otherwise.
The ergence of an unfathomable anomalous factor, the ergence of this mutation within his existence as a causality, as an effect of THE Fallout, felt like an answer given by his existence against all of this unfairness.
As he was receiving its scope of information, he was realizing the imnsity and ridiculousness of it. At this mont, he allowed everything to be put together as his focus was placed on THE Infiniverse.
The light of The Fallout that was backed by unknown Axioms of Observable Existence had proceeded to touch everything.
The curse of THE Existential Ceiling perated across every single lifeform in Observable Existence.
Well, apart from those sheltered in the safety and cozy allure of THE Loom. That was the design and inherent nature of THE Fallout.
So at this mont, his expression was heavy as when he looked into THE Infiniverse, he saw the figure of his Mother with the marks of the cursed perating on her body as she raised her hand and saw the faint cracks on them.
He looked at his people as he saw these faint cracks on their bodies, as if they were told from this point on, they would always be lesser. Mutated. That their path across Existence would forever have a ceiling as they could never cross a certain Depth.
Alongside this, so of those within his Civilization had their existence imperceptibly vibrating as they underwent different types of mutations. The Fallout was far too pervasive as their Civilization answered to it and tried to adapt to it by undergoing glorious evolution.
They tried to be like him. Whatever the resultant effects were going to be, it would be much less than what he achieved. But it was still sothing.
Noah looked at the raging Fallout all around him and roared with imnsity, his sound waves mixing with the continuously blooming mushroom clouds as if he was roaring out his defiance toward Existence and the very Fallout itself for what it imposed.
"OOOH!"
The roar carried the weight of a being who refused to accept limitation. It carried the fury of soone watching his loved ones be branded with a curse they did not deserve. It carried the defiance of THE Anomaly who would not bow to anyone’s design.
And as his own existence continued to change...
|The First Phase of THE Fallout is ending.|
|The Second Phase is beginning.|
"..."
Motherfucker, what?
|This information is being drawn by the ergence of your Core Phones of The First Tongue that are not accounted for by THE Fallout.|
|It is now known and understood that THE Fallout is irreversibly altering Existence, Paradox, Chaos, and The First Tongue in phases and sequences absolutely.|
|Your Core Phones, your additions to The First Tongue, will be the only things that remain unaffected.|
|The Second Phase of The Fallout involves:|
|- Endless expansion of all zones|
|- Corruption of fundantal existential relationships|
|- Displacent of Existence to forge the landscape of Existence after The Fallout|
|In that landscape:|
|- Distance is aningless yet impassable|
|- Communication is impossible through any normal Weavings of Existence|
|- Sound is the only thing that can travel|
|- ntal connections will be severed|
|- Thoughts cannot be sent across distances|
|- Perception and awareness will be limited to a few miles even for THE Fundantal Depth of Absolute Sovereignty entities|
|All Weavings of Existence will be compressed to a singular existence.|
|Even clones of an entity will be returned to the main body.|
|EXCEPTION DETECTED:|
|The defiance of your existence and the unaltered Phones of your First Tongue bypass this limitation.|
|At most, you are capable of supporting the ergence and maintenance of two or three bodies.|
|WARNING:|
|If another body remains outside in the landscape of The Fallout as the Second Phase unfolds:|
|- All of your existence could be focused on it|
|- Your connection to THE Infiniverse could be severed or masked|
|- You would not be able to find your way back to it|
|- Teleportation will not be possible|
|- Even quantum movent across distances will not be possible|
|It is advised to return to THE Infiniverse as the Second Phase of The Fallout unfolds and irreversibly changes all of Existence.|
...!
The words were heavy.
Noah’s eyes burned with defiance as he felt like he had won and also lost.
He looked down across the ever-changing landscape of THE Fallout as he felt an imminent countdown that would stop absolutely everything.
And he disappeared.
He returned to THE Infiniverse, into his Early Veiled Shore. The vibrating and the shaking of Existence had stopped as if it was known that imminent destruction had now been weathered and survived.
He stepped on the golden sands and looked at his people whose existence seed to be undergoing their own imperceptible changes.
And they looked back at him.
A king looked at his family.
An emperor looked at his people.
At this mont, Noah looked like sothing that had transcended humanity entirely. His body radiated a terrifying, regal, and majestic allure of power. He was adorned in that blue-gold robe shining with his Way and filled with Phones of The First Tongue, now adding an additional nine that pulsed with unprecedented authority.
The cracks of the curse spread across his skin like fractured porcelain, but colorless tendrils of Quintessence now flowed through them, weaving between the damage like threads of pure essence refusing to accept the brokenness.
And his eyes.
His eyes had changed most of all.
His pupils now held an image of an endlessly recursive infinite loop, spiraling inward and outward simultaneously. It was hypnotic and terrifying, a visual representation of the mutation that now defined his existence. Looking into those eyes was like staring into a type of Infinity itself.
He looked like a grand ancient primordial emperor instead of a human being.
When he looked at his people, thinking of how he may have failed them, thinking of how they now bore cracks that would never fully heal...
His mother appeared beside him with a smile.
The cracks over her skin were faint but there, glowing with that residual Fallout energy that marked all the cursed. And yet she smiled as if none of it mattered.
"It seems like the hard part is over," Alia said with serenity that only a mother could possess in such circumstances. "Let us now be together as we watch the unfolding end of Existence, shall we?"
The words were serene as they implied success.
Noah’s existence burned as he looked at his Mother and his people. The defiance in his eyes beca even more pronounced as barring everything else, they had survived the First Phase of THE Fallout that was focused on lifeforms. They could now wait to see just what imnse and unfathomable Weavings of Existence unfold as the Second Phase of THE Fallout targeted all of Existence itself.
He looked at his people, at Sigrid and Khor, at Riya and Adelaide, at his Mother and Henry, at Titano and The Emperor Penguin, at Hyperion and The Great Beyonder, at Moiraine and Barbatos, at all those who had placed their faith in him.
Even the cockroach Little Bobby stood in a corner with a cracked bald round head as he held his daughter close.
He looked at all of them as his voice echoed out.
"Whatever limitation The Fallout has imposed upon us will be but temporary," Noah declared with a voice that carried the weight of absolute conviction. "Our Weavings of Existence will see glory. They will see Absolute. This I promise to myself, and to you."
...!
HUUM!
He said such words to his people as Existence pulsed in turn. The sands of the Early Veiled Shore vibrated as if in agreent, as if the very foundation of his Civilization acknowledged the promise being made.
And he said this without boasting.
Because the details of his erging anomalous factor beca abundantly clear in his mind.
|THE EXISTENTIAL PARADOX LOOP - FULL DOCUNTATION|
|Classification: Singular Mutation|
|Only one instance can exist in Observable Existence.|
|Status: Erging within your existence.|
|Designation: THE Absolute Mutant.|
|CORE FUNCTION:|
|You can reset your existence to any previously experienced mont while retaining all mories, knowledge, and cultivation progress from the "future" tiline.|
|THE Existential Paradox Loop operates on principles that bend the very nature of causality.|
|ANCHOR POINTS:|
|- You can designate specific monts as "Anchor Points" in your existence|
|- These Anchors are monts of significance that your Infinite Mana and your Way infuse with permanence|
|- You can have 9 Anchors active simultaneously across your tiline|
|- Each Anchor requires the infusion of an infinity to establish and maintain|
|- Current Anchors: 0/9|
|THE LOOP CHANISM:|
|- Upon sensing the potential collapse of your Way and Civilization, or upon voluntary activation, your existence resets to the most recent Anchor Point|
|- All mories from the "erased" tiline are retained with perfect clarity|
|- All cultivation progress, including Depth advancent and Way refinent, is retained|
|- Knowledge of enemy capabilities, future events, and strategic information persists across resets|
|THE INFINITY REQUIRENT:|
|- Each reset consus one of your infused infinities|
|- Infinities must be woven with Logos and Philologies of your 9 new Core Phones to function|
|- Without sufficient infinities infused into the Loop, it fails entirely|
|- Your Infinite Mana allows continuous generation and infusion of new infinities|
|Your new Phones are woven into the Loop’s structure:|
|- Phone of Quintessence: Anchors the "essential" you across all tiline iterations. Ensures your core identity remains intact regardless of how many resets occur.|
|- Phone of Infinity: Provides the boundless energy required to sustain the Loop. Ensures the chanism never runs out of fuel as long as your Mana remains infinite.|
|- Phone of Tyranny: Grants absolute authority over the reset process. Ensures no external force can interfere with or prevent a reset once initiated.|
|- Phone of Fortune: Influences the outco of resets toward beneficial results. Increases the likelihood that knowledge gained will lead to favorable outcos.|
|- Phone of Advantage: Identifies loopholes and exploitable patterns across tilines. Allows you to recognize opportunities that others would miss.|
|- Phone of Narrative: Shapes the flow of events to favor the protagonist’s journey. Ensures that resets follow a coherent story progression rather than chaotic randomness.|
|- Phone of Harvest: Gathers all benefits from erased tilines. Ensures no cultivation progress, insight, or power gained is ever truly lost.|
|- Phone of Hunger: Devours the scattered remnants of erased tilines to sowhat fuel future resets. Converts temporal waste into usable energy.|
|- Phone of Potential: Realizes possibilities that have not yet beco. Allows you to reach outcos that would otherwise be impossible through normal progression.|
|Because these Phones did not exist when The Fallout was designed, the Loop itself is immune to THE Fallout’s interference.|
|LIMITATIONS AND COSTS:|
|MORY BURDEN:|
|- Each loop adds the weight of an entire tiline|
|- The weight of all the reversal across Observable Existence must be felt by you|
|- After enough loops, the strain becos imnse|
|- You must maintain your Clarity, Conviction, and Completeness to prevent ntal degradation|
|- Failure to maintain Way profundity may result in identity fragntation|
|CAUSALITY BACKLASH:|
|- Major changes to the tiline create "resistance" from Existence itself|
|- The more dramatically you alter events, the harder subsequent alterations beco|
|- So events may be "fixed points" that resist change regardless of loops|
|- Attempting to force change on fixed points may consu multiple infinities|
|ANCHOR DEGRADATION:|
|- Anchor Points slowly degrade over extended periods|
|- They must be periodically reinforced with fresh infinities|
|- Losing an Anchor Point ans losing the ability to reset to that mont|
|- If all Anchors degrade, the Loop becos temporarily unusable until new Anchors are established|
|THE PARADOX ACCUMULATION:|
|- Each loop creates subtle paradoxes in the fabric of Existence|
|- Too many loops in quick succession can destabilize local reality|
|- THE Living Paradox, as the embodint of contradiction, may be able to sense or exploit these paradoxes|
|THE Creature, THE Living Temporal, THE Primordial Chaos, and others of similar power may be able to sense these reversals and retain so mories of the future while understanding that soone is rewinding Observable Existence.|
|- Excessive paradox accumulation may attract unwanted attention from powerful entities|
...!
|Against you, death is not defeat. Death is reconnaissance.|
|This is THE Existential Paradox Loop.|
|This is why THE Absolute Mutant will never truly fall. This was the best possible solution your Existence deed viable based on what it sensed ca with THE Fallout.|
...!
Noah’s gaze was cold and imperious as he looked at all of this information of the ergence of a mutation.
This was the best possible solution that his Existence deed viable based on what it sensed ca with THE Fallout. Basically...his existence thought it may not be able to survive.
So it gave way to the ergence of sothing that said hey...you may and will likely die, but...not really.
This was the answer to THE Existential Ceiling.
"..."
THE Living Paradox had sought to limit all of Existence with THE Existential Ceiling.
And in doing so, he had given Noah the power to transcend limitation entirely!
