Noah looked at Sir William Arthur and thought seriously about his words.
He was operating across multiple bodies and multiple domains simultaneously. In THE Source Lands, his body with Eon was occupied with Dual Cultivation as he would eventually get back to hunting Galdr Source creatures and developing his Galdr Source deeper.
He had Persevere stacking every second through both his Source and his Osmontian Absolute Infinity. In THE Braneworld Observable Existence, he still stood within Velanthra.
In THE Infiniverse, now displaced into THE Undefined Gaps, the ergence aftermath was still settling, the nine Pri Cause regions developing, the accumulated authority of THE Infinite Cause still being stored.
Across the lower Observable Existence, he was standing in Stilled existence, the Acedia covering everything within reach.
A Sword of Existence.
The position was connected to THE Primordial Source. That alone made it relevant to everything he was already pursuing, because every path he was currently on pointed in that direction. It aligned with his position against THE Gilded Ones of THE Braneworld Observable Existence.
And anything connected to THE Primordial Source at the institutional level had to be old, genuinely old, filled with accumulated depth and capability and knowledge that no amount of cultivation from a standing start could replicate!
He would benefit from it trendously.
He looked at Sir William Arthur.
"For much of my life I used to think about good and evil," he said. "I asked myself which one I was. Whether what I was doing qualified as one or the other."
His eyes held a calm imperious quality. "I know now it’s just countless existences making choices. So smart choices. But many that are plain dumb and inexcusable." He let that sit for a mont.
"So sure. I would love to be part of sothing that takes care of the inexcusable."
BOOM!
Sir William Arthur nodded once.
He looked at the Stilled devastation surrounding them, the silver-gold luminescence coating every coordinate.
"Those with capability and potential who choose to act rather than recline are not many in the grand scale of existence," he said. "Existence is too vast, far too vast, and it is filled with too much for any single being or organization to account for all of it. Even Vakochev, who placed his na upon THE Scales and defined the frawork through which most civilizations asure their power, cannot claim aningful coverage of what existence actually contains."
He looked back at Noah. "So there are many Swords of Existence, and there are also few. The numbers are large in absolute terms and entirely inadequate in proportional ones."
He straightened his jacket.
"Since you have chosen, I, Sir William, shall act as your sponsor. To beco a Sword of Existence, one must possess strength and decorum above all else. After all, manners maketh man." Sothing in his tone carried the quality of a principle stated so many tis it had beco structural.
"I can sponsor you and introduce you. The rest is ultimately yours to demonstrate." He paused. "If you take these, you shall officially gain the distinction of a Trial Sword."
He waved his hand.
Two things materialized from the gesture with the unhurried clarity of objects arriving at their designated positions.
A suit of obsidian, sleek and structured, cut with the precise tailoring of sothing that had been made to exact specification rather than approximated, a white shirt folded beneath its jacket, an obsidian tie resting against the shirt’s surface, obsidian shoes completing the arrangent with the gleam of material that had been worked rather than simply colored.
Beside the suit, a blade in a blue-obsidian sheath, the sheath catching what ambient light the Stilled space still permitted and returning it in deep patterns.
Noah looked at them as infinity buzzed and gave him information.
|Lesser Existential Source Armant- Trial Sword designation garnt.|
|Construction: Source-woven obsidian composite. The suit, shirt, tie, and shoes function as a unified Existential Source Armor when worn, the components operating as a single integrated system rather than as separate articles of clothing. The Source weaving running through the composite is continuous and self-referential, aning damage to any component initiates an automatic regeneration process drawing from the ambient Primordial Source resonance the garnt carries. Full regeneration from structural damage occurs within monts under standard conditions.|
|Defensive capability: The Existential Source Armor can reflect attacks from entities at THE Fourth Scale of Existence for a sustained engagent period. The reflection is not passive absorption. The armor reads incoming force and redirects it. Repeated Fourth Scale attacks within a single engagent will eventually exceed the reflection capacity and require regeneration intervals. Against Third Scale attacks and below, the reflection capacity is effectively unlimited.|
|Cultivation enhancent: While wearing the Existential Source Armant, the study and comprehension of THE Primordial Tongue and THE Primordial Source proceeds at one thousand percent the standard rate. The Source weaving in the garnt creates a resonance with these foundational elents that the wearer’s foundations absorb continuously, passively advancing their understanding during the full duration of wear.|
|Lesser Existential Source Axiom: THE Sovereign Reckoning.|
|Construction: Forged by a Source Lifeform from condensed Primordial Source material. THE Sovereign Reckoning is not a standard weapon. It is a testing instrunt and a teaching instrunt simultaneously, its purpose being to identify beings capable of advancing along the path toward THE Primordial Source and to begin that advancent through contact.|
|The Exelissomai Source Fragnt: Inscribed within THE Sovereign Reckoning’s foundational architecture is the Source Fragnt of the word Exelissomai, the letter of THE Primordial Tongue aning transformation and evolution through the complete shedding of a prior form. Beings who demonstrate the capability to draw THE Sovereign Reckoning from its sheath will receive THE Exelissomai Source Fragnt directly into their foundations, initiating comprehension of a second letter of THE Primordial Tongue.|
|Offensive capability: THE Sovereign Reckoning can cut through the Sources of Fourth Scale entities when wielded with sufficient capability. Against Infinite Lifeforms, the blade can produce wounds that standard weapons cannot produce, its Primordial Source construction bypassing the defensive fraworks that Infinite Lifeforms generate through their Infinity expression.|
|Note: The blade will not leave its sheath for a being who lacks the foundational resonance required to receive THE Exelissomai Source Fragnt. The sheath is not a lock. It is a judgnt.|
