Chapter 5104: Parts To Play! II
"This methodology requires the simultaneous casting of three Pulses," THE Deliverance continued as his hands lowered. "It is not something a common Calymmian Proterozoic Scale entity can accomplish. The coordination alone exceeds what most at that classification can achieve, and the reserves required would deplete beings who lack sufficient Proterozoic Bone saturation."
The platinum flames settled into calmer configurations.
"But at these stages of existence, there are unique beings who can display tremendous power regardless of whether they are Rhyacian, Calymmian, or Ediacaran. Classification provides framework, not limitation. Remember this, Grimvault."
Grimvault bowed his massive form with gratitude.
"I will remember, Sir. Thank you."
He rose from the bow with expression that had shifted from shame to determination, those pale fires in his wolf skull helm burning with intensity restored.
"Sir, what shall be done to THE Infinity-bearer? To this Osmont?"
"He or his forces have now tortured or killed multiple of our brethren. Vahrkosis was unraveled by one of his allies. Sammarthiel remains trapped in paradoxical uncertainty. Beowulf was captured. And I was forced to flee from someone who should not have possessed the capability to threaten me."
His fists clenched at his sides.
"What response shall we provide?"
...!
THE Deliverance was silent for a long moment.
The platinum flames surrounding his form flickered .
"There are... a great many complex things currently unfolding across Observable Existence. More than you know. More than most know."
The titan shifted within his flames.
"THE Infinity-bearer is an anomaly that requires handling, yes. His Infiniry, his progression, his immunity to THE Silurian Light...This Infinite Light...there is a lot to him."
A pause that seemed to stretch.
"But just moments ago, another matter arose that demands attention. THE Creature has returned to THE Wyld."
Grimvault’s pale fires flickered heavily.
"THE Wild Beast has come home," THE Deliverance continued as the platinum flames intensified.
"There is much to be done. The board has grown more complex than simple response to a single anomaly can address. THE Creature. THE Infinity-bearer. Too many variables shifting simultaneously for singular focus to serve our purposes."
THE Deliverance’s form seemed to grow larger within its shroud of platinum brilliance.
"Since THE Infinity-bearer seems to wish for adversity, we shall grant that wish. Let us hope he will bring us difficulty and adversity as well, for I have decided upon a response that serves multiple purposes."
His voice pressed against reality itself.
"I shall enact a... Civilizational War."
...!
Grimvault’s eyes widened at those words.
A Civilizational War!
"This approach serves multiple functions," THE Deliverance explained. "It keeps us occupied with legitimate purpose while ensuring the current stability of Observable Existence...among other things."
The platinum flames settled into configurations of finality.
"For I do not wish to do anything too grand when THE Creature and THE Infinity-bearer are the least of our problems. Existence is too vast, Grimvault. Far too vast. The anomalies we face now may be symptoms rather than causes, signals rather than sources. Signals that likely, those we have only whispered of...may make themselves more involved."
BOOM!
Those they whispered of!
They all knew what THE Deliverance was talking about!
THE Gilded!
Myths and stories, glory and wonder!
He turned, and the other eleven figures turned with him.
"Come, Grimvault. There is much to be done, and a great deal of us have our parts to play in what unfolds from this moment forward."
...!
HUUM!
Blinding light erupted from THE Deliverance’s form, platinum brilliance expanding outward to envelop Grimvault and all others assembled above the white gold sea.
As they left, Grimvault gazed at his existence as he frowned as he felt like...his authority seemed to be tremendously depleted.
Maybe more than 25% of his total power still had not returned? Were the effects of THE Infinite Light so obscene?
He had such a thought as a moment later...
They were gone.
The white gold sea returned to calmness, its surface settling into stillness that betrayed nothing of what had just occurred above it, but...
A Civilizational War would soon be declared!
---
In THE Infiniverse.
THE Infiniverse herself floated within a sea of multicolored brilliance, boundless strings stretching from her form toward the Three Thousand Realms infinitely expanding in her depths. Each string pulsed with information flowing both directions, her awareness touching every sacred herb, every cultivating being, every fluctuation in the balance that comprised her nature.
Beside her, the illusory figure of Ruination floated with presence that seemed almost companionable.
THE Infiniverse turned her imperious gaze toward the strings stretching from her form. She had felt her Master’s Hadean transformation ripple through their connection. She had sensed the changes that declared him something unprecedented.
Now she contemplated what those changes meant for her.
"Master has led the way again."
Her voice pressed against the multicolored sea surrounding her.
"A Seed of Observable Existence becoming an Observable Existence is easy enough. Just like THE Second Scale from THE First Scale. But Master did not jump to THE Second Scale. He became...Hadean."
Her strings pulsed with intensity that made the Three Thousand Realms tremble.
"Naturally, I cannot become a measly Observable Existence like any other. The grander I become, the grander Master’s Infinite Cause becomes. So with his focus on Infinity and Observable Force, I shall flood everything within THE Infiniverse to transform its very backbone toward Hadean."
Her gaze fixed upon Ruination.
"Let us begin this process."
HUUM!
|I have initiated preliminary stages. The scope of what you propose exceeds anything previously attempted.|
Ruination’s form solidified slightly as she spoke.
|The Three Thousand Realms will undergo fundamental restructuring. Each realm’s foundational architecture will be reshaped toward Hadean parameters, meaning the laws governing them, the energy flows sustaining them, the very fabric of their reality will be elevated to classifications an Observable Existence cannot achieve.|
|The infinite expansion currently occurring will accelerate dramatically. Your realms may approach or exceed the scope of established Observable Existence|
|Beings cultivating within your depths will be affected. The Hadean nature of your restructured existence will press against their foundations, catalyzing advancement in those capable of withstanding it while endangering those who cannot.|
|Your connection to your Master will deepen unpredictably.|
A pause.
|If successful, you will become what I shall term a Hadean Observable Existence. Not merely an Existence of Hadean classification, but an entire reality operating according to Hadean principles. The Three Thousand Realms will become Hadean Realms. You will blur the distinction between being and place in ways even your current nature does not achieve.|
...!
THE Infiniverse absorbed this with eyes that blazed like stars being born.
"What comes will come regardless if we sit still or make bold moves. Begin the process."
HUUM!
Blue and gold painted everything as the two sisters tugged on their Master’s connection!
The multicolored sea erupted as Infinity surged through her depths while Observable Force flooded structures. The Three Thousand Realms trembled as power beyond their classification pressed against their foundations!
THE Infiniverse closed her eyes and felt herself changing.
It would take time. But... time was something she had in abundance.
