In THE Wastes, seas of multicolored brilliance swirled below while rivers surged above.
The figure of Beowulf floated within this transford landscape, his massive hamr resting against one armored shoulder as he gazed out at the area where the illusory visage of THE Creature had been displayed. That image had faded now, but its implications remained. Horus was dead. THE Creature had claid victory and displayed the proof for all of Observable Existence to witness!
The death was a heavy one, and it made Beowulf think about many things.
He had known Horus for eons. Now that ancient Primordial Architect was simply gone, his Eyes ripped from existence and held aloft like trophies by soone who had decided the ti for tolerance had ended.
At such a ti, sothing shifted behind him.
From the seas of multicolored Infinity at his back, singularities sparked and churned with activity that should not have been possible without his awareness. The waters of the Pluvial Epoch twisted into configurations that bent space, forming pathways where none had existed monts before. Authority pressed through those pathways with intention that announced arrival rather than requested permission.
Two figures erged from the churning brilliance.
Noah stood at the forefront, his multicolored emperor’s robe flowing with currents of Infinity that wrapped around his form like loyal serpents. Alexander stood beside him, his green robes pristine and his Enneagram rotating upon his chest with steady determination. Both of them gazed forward with expressions cold and grand, as if they had co to this place specifically to challenge what awaited them.
The massive armored figure of Beowulf turned around to observe them in stupor.
Two First Scale entities had appeared before a Second Scale existence, and they bore themselves as if the difference in power ant nothing. Their postures held no deference. Their eyes held no fear. They floated before him with the bearing of challengers rather than prey, as if this confrontation was sothing they had chosen rather than sothing they would suffer!
Noah gazed at the massive visage of Beowulf as the Primordial Architect completed his turn.
When he looked at this being now, he did not feel that heavy sense of oppression that had pressed against him during their previous encounters. His foundations had changed. His capabilities had evolved. THE Hadean Organ of Civilization pulsed within his chest with authority that declared itself ready for whatever ca next.
Beside him, Alexander wore an expression of extre coldness.
He looked at Beowulf as if he was already dismantling the armored figure piece by piece, as if this confrontation was rely formality before the violence he had been anticipating since his torture concluded. His hands remained still at his sides, but the authority gathering around him suggested those hands would not remain idle for long.
Noah nodded to Beowulf.
"Big guy, did you miss us? I did not want to make you wait for too long, so I ca to fulfill my oath."
...!
He had told this contemptible existence that he would return and pay things back manifold. That ti was now here. The words erged with confidence that pressed against the transford landscape of THE Wastes!
Beowulf looked at them with expression that bordered on skepticism.
His armored head turned slightly, scanning the surrounding area as if searching for hidden allies or concealed traps. When he found nothing except the two beings floating before him, his twisted smile ford across features that had intimidated countless existences across eons of conflict.
"You...are arguably one of the most unique existences I have co across in a while."
His voice erged with amusent that did not quite conceal his wariness.
Noah’s response ca imdiately.
"And you are one of the more boring ones. Did you see your friend, Horus, and the humiliation of his corpse displayed for all to see across Existence?"
He spoke such words grandly, letting them hang in the air between them.
Beowulf’s expression shifted into a frown that darkened his armored features. His hamr rose over his shoulders, the weapon’s presence alone causing the surroundings to begin trembling and shaking. Authority gathered around his form with intensity.
"Existence is vast and filled with wonders."
His voice erged cold.
"So of us will die. So of us will triumph. With you coming here now, I will not allow you to slip away again. I will never have to experience the sa fate as Horus."
His armored head tilted slightly.
"Once I grasp your weavings and secrets regarding Infinity..."
The sentence trailed off as his brutal smile returned.
"Hmmm."
Proterozoic Scale power spread outward from his form, sifting through the transford landscape with authority that demanded submission from everything it touched. All churning rivers of multicolored brilliance around them ceased their movent. The flowing seas below beca still. For the surrounding light years, everything that had been in motion simply stopped.
Even the rain falling from above halted in place, droplets of the Pluvial Epoch suspended in air that no longer permitted their descent.
Noah gave a light nod at this display of power.
"Seeing the actions of THE Creature reminded that when it cos to truly breaking down one’s enemies and letting others know how to act, seeing is better than believing."
His eyes shone with purpose.
"So..."
He raised his hand and clenched it.
The multicolored seas of Infinity shook in response to his gesture. Around them, massive disturbances churned through the transford waters as sothing vast began to rise from the depths. Three illusory screens erged from the brilliance, each one a single light year in diater, their surfaces displaying images that captured everything occurring in this space.
The screens showed the figure of Beowulf and their figures with clarity that missed no detail.
"My weavings of Infinity are spread all across Observable Existence."
Noah’s voice carried across the light years his screens encompassed.
"Just like THE Creature was able to illuminate the fate of Horus, I will go a step further to illuminate and illustrate. I will give all of Observable Existence the chance to see the fates of those poor enough to co after ."
The illusory screens shone with brilliance that exceeded their already massive presence.
What they displayed began to perate across Observable Existence.
Across THE Wastes, screens rose from seas and rivers of transford brilliance. In Primordial Realms scattered throughout existence, similar displays erged from wherever Infinity had touched. Within remaining shelters of THE Loom, screens materialized before beings who had thought themselves hidden and protected!
In Prima Indifferentia, illusory images pressed through barriers that should have been impenetrable! The Wandering Territories! The Lands of The Dead!
In all places where Infinity sensed Absolutes or any glimrs of Second Scale Existences, these illusory screens began to rise.
They stread everything occurring at this mont.
Noah looked up as the illusory screens zood upon his face, Alexander visible behind him.
Multicolored Infinities wrapped around his body in rivers of endless authority. His multicolored emperor’s robe shone gloriously!
While looking into the screen, he spoke words ant for all of Observable Existence.
"Let this be a lesson and warning to all."
HUUM!
He said for this to be a warning, but he knew many would not take it like so. He knew many would take it as a challenge, which would in turn...invite Adversity. And that...was also another goal of his!
Beowulf observed this display as his gaze beca unfathomably cold.
His massive body was reflected on the screens surrounding them, his armored form towering over Noah and Alexander like a giant observing ants!
His pride as an existence so much grander than them buzzed with indignation at this mont, at being made a spectacle for beings across Observable Existence to witness!
"I will not stop at dissecting your existence. I will-"
At such a ti, Noah’s words interrupted him.
"Hold on."
...!
Because at this mont, Noah began to feel sothing horrific and grand inside his existence.
A flood of the power of Observable surged from within him in an unfathomable manner, its concentration far exceeding anything he had handled before. Golden misty light erupted from his foundations with intensity that should have torn him apart. The force was vast and overwhelming, a sea of Observable power pouring through connections he had not consciously activated!
It felt surreal and utterly overwhelming.
There was so much that his existence was almost initially overwheld by the sheer volu of what was flooding through him. His foundations trembled under the pressure, his cells burning with golden light that pressed outward from within. Then THE Hadean Organ of Civilization began to spin right after, collecting the terrifying misty golden seas of Observable force with efficiency that prevented catastrophic overflow.
Every cell and atom within his body literally began to burn with golden light of Observable!
His existence worked rapidly to process what was occurring. Infinite Undifferentiated Fate searched for the connection to understand where this flood originated, but he could not find anything apart from the connection with THE Primordial Paradox.
When he dug deeper toward the source of these terrifying waves of Observable force, he felt as if he was being blocked by barriers that resisted his perception.
He proceeded to use the overflowing power of Observable itself to finally affirm the truth.
Particles of his Quintessence Infiniforce were acting as pathways, pulling from a source. The connection led to...Eon. THE Secretive Eon!
What...
"Are you okay?"
Beside him, Alexander asked the question as Noah appeared to have frozen in place, his eyes burning with golden light while his expression shifted through confusion and calculation.
As Noah was in the middle of ascertaining all this, Beowulf beca cold and apathetic.
The Primordial Architect raised his hamr. His armored features showed no amusent now, no fucking tolerance for whatever his opponents were experiencing!
He had been interrupted, insulted, and made into a spectacle for all of Observable Existence to witness.
"No playing around this ti."
His voice erged with frost that spread across the suspended droplets around them.
"I will collapse you and look at the pieces after. Let show you how vast the gulf is between THE Second Scale and THE First Scale."
HUUM!
As he said this, he swung his hamr.
Noah’s eyes could see the backbone and makeup of that weapon as it descended toward him and Alexander. Within the hamr’s construction, a single shining crimson obsidian bone blazed with light that pressed against perception.
A Proterozoic Bone, fully activated, channeling the full might of a Second Scale existence through an instrunt designed specifically for destruction.
The hamr thundered down toward them!
Ti seed to slow as Noah processed what was occurring. The flood of Observable force continued burning through his foundations. The hamr continued its descent.
Alexander stood beside him, ready to fight but lacking the capability to stop what was coming. The illusory screens broadcast everything to Observable Existence, capturing the mont when THE Youngest would be crushed by power he should not have challenged!
Noah put his hand on his chest.
His fingers pressed through his emperor’s robe, reaching toward the Organ of Civilization that spun with fury within him. From that Organ, he pulled forth a weapon that should not have existed at THE First Scale.
THE Hadean Spear of Civilization erged from his sternum.
The multicolored crystalline Kontos spear materialized into his grip as the hamr continued its descent!
Around his body, the vibrant lights of Observable and Unobservable began swirling with intensity that exceeded anything he had previously channeled. Golden mist and clear smoke wound around his form, both forces converging upon the tip of his spear with concentration that made the air itself tremble.
The tip of the spear rose to et the giant hamr!
And...
CRACK!
The impact was shocking and forceful and blinding!
A horrid sound echoed across existence as Proterozoic Bone t Civilizational Armant, as THE Second Scale collided with sothing that should not have been possible at THE First Scale.
Light erupted from the point of contact with brilliance that painted the suspended droplets of rain with hues existence rarely witnessed.
Noah remained floating exactly where he was.
He did not move. He did not budge. He did not shift a single inch from the position he had occupied before the hamr’s descent.
Instead, the massive hamr of Beowulf was knocked backward and upward.
...!
Oh!
The weapon that had crushed an unknown number of existences across eons of conflict recoiled from the collision, its Proterozoic Bone ringing with frequencies!
Beowulf’s armored arms absorbed the recoil, his massive form pushed back by a force that should not have co from a First Scale being.
Stupor and astonishnt followed.
Noah stood there in the aftermath, his spear held at angle.
The light of Quintessence Infiniforce blazed around him in rivers of multicolored brilliance. Infinity wrapped around his form, and Unobservable and Observable forces swirled around his weapon in clear and golden rivers that pressed against everything they touched.
He held that spear!
THAT Spear!
THE Hadean Spear of Civilization!
The illusory screens captured everything.
They broadcast his image across Observable Existence, showing countless beings the mont when THE Genesis Monarch blocked the full strike of a Proterozoic Scale entity and knocked that strike away without moving from his position.
Noah pulled the spear back and spoke with a frown.
"I told you to hold on. Sit the fuck back for a second."
...!
Oh!
OH!
Even Alexander looked at Noah in stupor!
Beowulf stared at his hamr and then at Noah’s spear.
His gaze moved between the two weapons back and forth!
The body of this Primordial Architect then began to vibrate and shake with rage!
