Chapter 4825: Just Let Go II
Chapter 4825: Just Let Go II
At this, Noah raised his brows and said with curiosity.
"Oh? What do you plan to do?"
THE Primordial Chaos buzzed with murky obsidian brilliance that radiated outward from his form as he said with weight that spoke of power being gathered.
"I do not want to be anywhere near that thing, but if I know where it is, I could simply attack it from afar."
His shifting features settled into something cold and determined.
"So. What happened between you and it, and what is its last location so I can bombard it with all my weight?"
BOOM!
A glorious situation unfolded as Noah couldn’t help but marvel at the absurdity of existence.
Hours ago, he was talking and planning with Eon about laying an assault on THE Primordial Chaos in Jotunheim.
Now, just hours later, he was with THE Primordial Chaos and listening to plans on collapsing THE Secretive Eon!
How grand and rapid existence could change.
But also...
"Care will have to be taken."
Noah’s voice carried caution that came from understanding more than most about how THE Entity operated.
"THE Secretive Eon is in THE Corrupted Vault of Ginnungagap, outside of THE Agora of Primordial Judgment."
He paused.
"I say care has to be taken because she is outside that Nexus Primordial Realm, and something seems to prevent her from entering, or she herself is choosing not to enter for a reason."
His eyes narrowed.
"And there is still much we don’t know."
...!
Noah saw Chaos’s eyes flash brilliantly after he said these words, with this being seemingly thinking of many things before he ultimately said with weight that pressed against reality itself.
"Youngest, you forget my status and standing."
His shifting features settled into something that looked almost like pride.
"You are the weakest amongst THE Four, but me... I am individually the strongest."
His form blazed with obsidian authority that made the crystalline trees of Alfheimr tremble.
"You may not see it. THE Creature or Paradox may not believe it."
His voice dropped to something that resonated with ancient truth.
"But everything began with Chaos, and all of Existence churns toward Chaos."
He paused.
"Chaos is silent for it does not need to be loud..."
His smile became something vast and terrible.
"But I can be loud. I can be very, very loud."
HUUM!
Such immense words were said as at this moment, THE Primordial Chaos looked at THE First Tongue, and two of THE Four might truly be entering an alliance for the first time since who knew when in the face of a terrible enemy!
---
And while such a thing happened...
Far from Alfheimr.
In Jotunheim.
In a grand citadel where THE Living Temporal, THE Living Quantum, and THE Living Dimensional were waiting inside a grand structure while they were served by Chaos Giants.
Quantum was looking at Temporal as she said with curiosity that seemed almost casual.
"Why the large focus on Osmont anyways? What from him makes you go to these lengths?"
She asked as if they knew some of the plans of THE Living Temporal, but not everything.
As she said these words, the eyes of THE Living Quantum were filled with a unique sense of serenity and peace that seemed almost out of place for someone discussing strategy.
Uniquely, a similar light twinkled in the eyes of THE Living Dimensional as he also added with the same strange calmness.
"We are closer to THE Creature and THE Living Paradox, even if we steered clear of their conflict. After THE Fallout, what exactly is your aim to be so focused on Osmont?"
The questions came one after another.
Temporal frowned.
He looked toward Quantum and Dimensional as he said with dawning realization creeping into his voice.
"You two are..."
...!
He didn’t finish his words.
He swayed.
The cup in his hand fell down as his body was seemingly about to go limp, his ancient features slackening as if consciousness itself was being pulled away from him.
When in the next moment, his languid expression became heavy and livid as he bellowed out with fury that shook the foundations of Jotunheim itself!
OOOOH!
His eyes radiated purple pillars of time that shot upward and downward simultaneously!
An apocalyptic purple crack instantly bloomed where he stood!
It split the entire citadel in half!
The crack looked like the hand of a clock, and shockingly, it spun and turned with authority that transcended normal power!
For a surrounding gigaparsec, time became inverted and flowed backward!
Buildings that had been standing moments before unbuilt themselves. Chaos Giants who had been walking reversed their steps. Words that had been spoken were unspoken. The cup that had fallen rose back into Temporal’s hand.
The spinning crack moved backward like the hand of a clock, reversing seconds, then minutes, then more as THE Living Temporal forced reality to acknowledge that what had happened should not have happened!
The crack stopped.
It began to heal.
Everything went back to minutes before!
The figure of THE Living Temporal still had a livid expression as his heavy Absolute Depth erupted over everything, and he flew up as he roared with fury that demanded answers!
"WHO?!"
HUUM!
Down below, Quantum and Dimensional were shocked as they also rose up and said with apparent confusion.
"What happened?!"
Temporal had a heavy gaze as he looked toward the two of them, and he began to say with urgency.
"We are attacked in the future, something that may have already affected you two and was going for me as wel..."
...!
He began to sway again.
As if he was losing balance.
As if he was losing himself.
His face became ashen and horrified as he looked at Quantum and Dimensional who had the same gazes they had worn before.
The same serene calmness.
The same peaceful light in their eyes.
Even after turning back time in this local space for them, Quantum and Dimensional were still affected?
The reversal had done nothing.
The infection transcended temporal manipulation.
It existed outside the normal flow of cause and effect.
He looked at them with eyes that held dawning horror as he said with a voice that trembled for the first time in eons.
"What... are you?"
Quantum and Dimensional spoke in synchrony.
Their voices merged into one.
Their expressions matched perfectly.
Their movements mirrored each other with precision that spoke of a single will controlling multiple bodies.
"We are here to help."
Down below, all the Chaos Giants had stopped their moving.
They were all silently looking above.
Thousands of eyes fixed on THE Living Temporal with the same serene expression.
"To make things better."
The synchronized voice continued with warmth that should have been comforting but was instead deeply wrong.
"If we can get a hold of the one keeping hold of time, we can do so much more."
Quantum smiled.
Dimensional smiled.
Every Chaos Giant below smiled.
"We can go to so many places."
The voice dropped to something almost tender.
"Just... let go. Join us."
A pause.
"The process has already begun as you are only prolonging... the inevitable."
HUUM!
THE Living Temporal actually felt a budding sense of fear bloom within foundations that had not known fear since the Infinite Unfurling!
He roared out again with desperation that he had never experienced!
An even larger purple fracture of time bloomed where he was!
A twisted purple hand of a clock covered everything, dividing Jotunheim in half as reality itself screamed in protest at what was being done to it!
The crack expanded and contracted!
It spun backward with force that would have collapsed lesser realms entirely!
And when this crack healed...
THE Living Temporal had disappeared!
Gone.
Fled to somewhere, somewhen!
Down below, the eerie citadel settled into silence.
Quantum and Dimensional floated calmly, looking across the landscape of Jotunheim peacefully as if nothing of significance had occurred.
As if they had not just tried to consume one of the most powerful Absolutes in Observable Existence.
The two of them and all the Chaos Giants down below had the same thoughtful expression.
And they spoke in synchrony.
"Time is inevitable. But...A visit to long-time associates is warranted."
Thousands of voices merged into one.
"Elemental."
"Emotive."
"Law."
"Order."
...!
The sheer oddity and horror of this scene pressed against the fabric of reality itself as multiple beings across an entire Primordial Realm said such words in perfect synchrony!
They had targeted THE Living Temporal as the thought of their success at this alone and what it could cause...was obscene!
