Ragnar V49 hit the far wall of the Collapsed Transcendent Conceptual Fold and ca off it grinning.
The cracks in his chest were real. He looked at them with the appreciation of soone who had not seen cracks in his chest in a very long ti and found the novelty interesting!
"Okay." He rolled his neck. THE Dominion Cause blazed through his left hand and THE Bellum Cause through his right, both Pri Cause integrations burning at full expression, the compound authority of two integrated truths pressing outward through his fra and into the surrounding space.
The conceptual geotry of the Fold bent around the pressure of it. "Now we’re talking. We! Are! Talking!"
He drove both hands together.
The resulting surge hit Noah across the full width of the Fold simultaneously, THE Dominion Cause asserting the hierarchy of the space and THE Bellum Cause feeding violence into every coordinate the assertion touched. The combined expression filled the Fold from wall to wall.
Noah was already redirecting it.
THE Infinite Vector caught the leading edge and adjusted the direction- not fully, not yet, the magnitude of two integrated Pri Causes pushing against the Vector’s current capacity and finding partial purchase. The surge hit Noah at roughly a third of its full force. He took it, absorbed it, and was already moving by the ti Ragnar processed that the attack hadn’t landed cleanly!
Every second, the flas rose.
Persevere stacked on Persevere and the compound elevation built in Noah’s Galdr Source, the Primordial flas burning through his Primus Apeiron form in denser waves with each iteration, his scales pulling the warmth into their prismatic surfaces and compressing it into the foundation of what he was rather than letting it disperse outward.
His Hadean Pillar of Infinity, his Civilizations, his Infinity... all of it ran through the Galdr Source now as a conduit rather than as separate systems, the Source sitting beneath all of them and amplifying everything that moved through it.
Ragnar ca in hard, low, fast!
The Bellum Cause erupted from his body in a close-range expression that turned his skin into a weapon, and he drove that weapon at Noah’s torso with the full committed weight of a Silurian Paleozoic Ira Gilded One who had finally decided to stop feeling out his opponent.
Noah stepped into it and hit him three tis in the span of one step.
Ragnar absorbed two and the third found the cracks in his chest from the cannonball strike earlier, the impact driving into the compromised architecture and spreading the damage outward. He disengaged with a laugh!
"You’re not fighting like a man anymore, buddy boy!"
He raised both hands, THE Dominion Cause and THE Bellum Cause surging together, and drove them into the floor of the Fold. The conceptual geotry fractured beneath the strike, abstract concepts cracking open and releasing their compressed anings into the air as distorted light.
"Let remind you what full Pri Cause expression looks like!"
The Fold shook.
Noah watched the shaking with cold eyes and reached for Ragnar’s montum.
THE Infinite Vector found it. Ragnar’s forward drive, the kinetic commitnt of his next approach, the directional investnt of a being charging with full Cause backing behind the charge. The Vector rewrote the direction by twenty degrees. Ragnar’s charge carried him past Noah’s left side instead of through his center.
The flas kept rising!
Every second, denser. Every second, the Galdr Source pressed deeper into his Primus Apeiron foundations, the compound elevation building toward sothing the Fold’s space was starting to register as a pressure it hadn’t been designed to contain. The multicolored obsidian fire wasn’t dispersing anymore. It was accumulating around him in dense slow-churning waves that pressed outward against the curved walls of the conceptual space!
He reached for Ragnar’s montum again.
This ti it moved the way he wanted it to move.
He had grown stronger to be able to!
The Vector caught the direction of Ragnar’s positioning and redirected it fully, and Ragnar went sideways instead of backward, the Silurian Paleozoic fra moving without generating the movent, the Cause expression burning through his body failing to override the Vector’s grip on the direction the Infinity within his bones was now traveling!
"What!"
Noah pulled.
Ragnar ca toward him at speed, his mass not fighting the pull so much as discovering the pull had already made the relevant decision, and Noah hit him twice mid-approach before the approach concluded. Both strikes found the chest cracks. Both went deeper!
BOOM!
"Buddy boy, this isn’t-"
Noah waved his hand.
Ragnar swung sideways, the Vector rewriting his montum from forward to lateral and carrying him through an arc that ended against the Fold’s wall, and then Noah pulled again before Ragnar had processed the wall contact, and Ragnar swung the other direction, and Noah hit him twice more during the swing as he swung this man like a rag doll while waving his hands like a conductor!
The cracks in Ragnar’s chest were no longer localized.
"Haha." The laugh ca out shorter than usual, the sound of a being genuinely impressed through the pain. "You can...you can actually move now. When did that-"
Noah waved him in a full rotation.
Ragnar went around the space like sothing being swung rather than sothing moving, and at the end of the rotation Noah let him find the wall again!
BOOM!
The Fold shuddered.
The flas around Noah were dense enough now to make his form difficult to resolve clearly, the multicolored obsidian fire churning in slow massive waves, and inside them the heartbeat started!
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
Pure Pressure. Each beat of it pushing outward from Noah’s position and eting the Fold’s walls and returning, the rhythm of Persevere stacking building a cadence that the space around him was now physically expressing. Every second. Every utterance!
Ragnar was back on his feet and still grinning.
"I hate to admit this." He looked at his hands, at the Pri Cause expressions burning through them, and then at the churning wall of fire that was Noah. "But this...this is actually sothing."
Noah moved his tail and his arms together as he felt like it was ti.
Slowly. Deliberately. The tail coming forward from behind, the clawed arms coming in from either side, all three converging toward a single point in front of his chest and pressing together until the combined shape ford a spear. His own body. His Primus Apeiron form becoming the weapon rather than wielding one.
He reached for Ragnar with THE Infinite Vector.
Not Ragnar’s montum this ti.
All of Ragnar. Every directional commitnt his Silurian Paleozoic foundations were currently making. Noah rewrote all of it to one direction.
Toward him.
Ragnar felt it as his eyes went wide for the first ti in the battle, and then the Vector’s full force brought him forward, and Noah held the spear-point of his body still, and Ragnar arrived!
BOOM!
The sound was that of sothing being split.
Ragnar V49 ca apart at the center, the spear-point of Noah’s form driving through the Pri Cause-hardened architecture of a Silurian Paleozoic Ira Gilded One with the force of accumulated Persevere elevations behind it, and the two halves ca to rest on the floor of the Fold in the positions the montum carried them to after the contact concluded.
Noah stood in the continuous multicolored obsidian flas, the heartbeat pressure still beating outward from him, his form still resolving slowly through the dense churning fire.
He looked at what remained of Ragnar V49.
The brutal smile was still on the torn face.
"Burr..ddy bb-ooy..." The voice ca out smaller than it had been. The cognizance was still present, just inhabiting a significantly reduced operational context.
Noah crouched beside the closest half.
He started with what was in front of him.
Ragnar V49’s Source hit his jaws thst felt like a furnace of existence and the furnace processed it!
The laugh ca through even then, genuine to the end!
The flas kept rising.
One per second!
Noah devoured Ragnar V49 the Fold filled with the sound of a heartbeat as an enemy that had pumled him not too long ago...was dead!
Silurian Paleozoic Scale...he could now take down!
