In the far reaches of THE Early Veiled Shore, two figures were also burning.
THE Creature stood in his own elevation, the Pure Primordial Essence that had reached him moving through his ancient rebuilt foundations and adding to what was already there, the obsidian flas of his own Primordial Source expression burning brighter as the Arms Race delivered its result to him!
Calypso received hers, the Relictus’s vast ancient fra processing the Pure Primordial Essence with the depth of sothing that had cultivated with this energy across eons and knew what it was receiving.
Both of them looked toward Noah.
The obsidian flas around him were not the sa flas burning around them. The density was wrong. The volu was wrong. The way the air around him trembled and sparked and seed to treat the space imdiately adjacent to his position as a different category of space was wrong.
THE Creature had a Source that had been refined by adversity across longer than most fraworks extended. Calypso had a Source that had been present since before most of existence could rember its own earliest events.
What was erging around Noah felt like sothing that hadn’t happened before.
They watched it, somber and still, the two most ancient beings in the Arms Race looking at the youngest and feeling the distance between what they were receiving and what he was receiving as a physical condition of the space between them.
Sothing grand was coming out of that obsidian fire.
Neither of them was certain what it would look like when it arrived!
---
The first thing Noah felt was the scales.
Not new scales. The Primus Apeiron form had always carried its multicolored obsidian scales across every surface of his fra, but what settled over him now was different from those. Thinner. More complete. A layer that wasn’t armor but expression, the Primus Apeiron capabilities becoming permanent rather than accessed through different bodies, pressing outward through the Pure Primordial Essence and fusing into sothing that covered his entire existence as a continuous living surface.
Obsidian gold.
The color of it was the result of everything being integrated simultaneously, the Primus Apeiron and the Pillar of Infinity and every Actualized Civilization within it and the Observable Force and the Unobservable Force and the Osmontian Absolute Infinity and the Galdr Source and the full backing of THE Infinite Cause and the nine Pri Causes all finding positions within the sa layer, the layer organizing them not as separate systems but as one continuous expression.
|THE Aura of THE Source Barbarian: Ford.|
|The Pure Primordial Essence produced by the Pri Exelissomai utterances has integrated all active capabilities into a single unified outer expression. Contents of THE Aura of THE Source Barbarian:|
|Primus Apeiron Form capabilities: Permanently expressed. No activation required. The form’s full physical and foundational capabilities are active at all tis through the Aura layer.|
|Actualized Civilizations from THE Hadean Pillar of Infinity: Fully integrated into the Aura. THE Cheating Architect, THE Protagonist, Perpetual Harvest, and all other Actualized Civilizations now function as permanent ambient conditions of your existence rather than capabilities you access.|
|Observable Force and Unobservable Force: Woven into the Aura layer’s surface, producing continuous dual expression across your full existence simultaneously.|
|Osmontian Absolute Infinity: Runs as the Aura’s foundational dium. Everything integrated into the Aura expresses itself through Osmontian Absolute Infinity, aning every capability within the Aura carries your identity as its carrier.|
|Galdr Source: Integrated as the Aura’s Source foundation, the density of it compounded by nine hours of Arms Race developnt and 32,400 Exelissomai utterances.|
|THE Infinite Cause and all integrated Pri Causes: Active as governing truths of the Aura’s expression, their Pri Cause lights now visible across the Aura’s surface continuously.|
|Operational character: THE Source Barbarian Aura does not select capabilities for deploynt. It expresses all of them simultaneously at all tis, the wild and anomalistic nature of THE Source Barbarian Factor amplifying every component through brute force, both close range and long range. You do not aim a specific tool at a specific problem. You bring the full weight of everything you are to every point of contact. This is what it ans to be wild in existence.|
BOOM!
The obsidian gold rose from him.
Not as light. As mass, the Aura pressing outward from every surface of his fra and expanding with the weight of everything it contained, the nearby air shuddering at the contact as existence registered sothing it didn’t have a category for. The early veiled shore’s golden sands trembled beneath him.
HUUM!
He began to grow!
Grow! Grow! Grow!
The process was unhurried. His fra expanded in every dinsion without violence, the Pure Primordial Essence and the Aura of THE Source Barbarian pushing his physical expression outward toward the size that the Barbarian Factor recognized as his preliminary body.
His musculature expanded with his scale, every proportion maintained, the definition of his fra becoming sothing that light behaved differently around as it grew to a size where light had ti to notice it.
He stopped at one Gigaparsec.
He floated in THE Early Veiled Shore at a scale where the shore’s golden sands were a surface beneath him that he could sit on comfortably!
The obsidian gold of the Aura covered everything, the nine Pri Cause lights running across it in their continuous expression, the Observable and Unobservable Force currents moving through the surface in their parallel rivers, the Osmontian Absolute Infinity blazing through the full scale of it!
He raised his hands.
They were enormous. He looked at them with the calm attention of soone taking inventory.
He pressed his palm slightly. A test. The Aura of THE Source Barbarian responded with the simultaneous activation of everything within it directed toward that pressure, and he felt with complete clarity what applying that pressure to a Devonian Paleozoic Scale being would produce.
Shattering.
He looked at the space where his Galdr Source expression pressed outward through the Aura and thought what that expression could do to a common Galdr Source Lifeform if he closed his fist around one.
Crushed in an instant!
He looked at the full expression of what he was at this scale with the Aura covering every coordinate of his existence and the nine Pri Cause lights blazing and the Osmontian Absolute Infinity running through everything.
Fourth Scale entities felt manageable.
He couldn’t say it with certainty. He would need to actually test it to say it with certainty, and he was aware that the gap between feeling sothing and confirming sothing. But the feeling was there!
Calypso was a Relictus. She had been a Relictus since before most of existence could date its own earliest mories.
He thought he could wound her now.
Him! Still operating within his First Infinite Scale! Still at the beginning of what THE Infinite Scale of Existence was designed to contain!
He looked at his massive obsidian gold hands again in the golden light of THE Early Veiled Shore.
Then he looked at where THE Creature and Calypso floated in the distance, their own elevations burning around them, both of them watching the gigaparsec figure that had erged from the obsidian fire with the somber attention of Source Lifeforms.
Because at this mont, while Noah had not grasped THE Primordial Source, his body gave off a pure aura...similar to a Relictus as he was filled with boundless seas of Pure Primordial Essence!
