Chapter 3983: Choices and Consequences! V

Toward her gaze filled with eager anticipation, Noah smiled with an expression that carried layers of meaning she was only beginning to perceive.

"You may actually die if you aren’t careful," he said, his words delivered with calm certainty that sent chills through her enhanced consciousness, "as the place you are going already has an enemy that multiple Dukes may have to stand together against. So... I will come with you."

The statement struck Moiraine heavily, alarm flooding through her features as she shook her head with incredulous disbelief!

Her mind raced through possibilities, each one more disturbing than the last as she struggled to process what he was suggesting.

"What place is this?" she demanded, "And Sir, you are... much weaker than me, you know? Maybe stay here, and I will brave everything myself."

Her words were straightforward and majestic, carrying within them genuine concern that transcended every protocol of respect or deference.

She was no longer afraid of speaking her mind when his safety was at stake, her loyalty expressing itself through protective instincts that overrode every other consideration.

She thought of him first before anything else, prioritizing his wellbeing over her own advancement or the completion of whatever mission he might have in mind!

Noah’s smile deepened at her response. Yet his decision remained unchanged, crystallized through calculations that took into account variables she could not yet perceive.

"I want to see as well," he said, "so get as powerful as possible to protect me...we will leave shortly."

...!

With those words hanging in the crystalline air between them, Noah turned away from her position and moved across the golden sands toward the cultivation plots where seeds had been planted with careful precision.

Behind him, Moiraine settled back onto the vibrant sands with stern determination written across her features. If he insisted on placing himself in danger, then she would forge at least one more Kleos Glyph of Paradoxical Genesis before they departed.

Every additional layer of protection she could provide might mean the difference between his survival and catastrophe.

Noah approached the cultivation plots with steps that left glowing impressions in the golden sands, his enhanced perception taking in every detail of the agricultural paradise that had been created through his blood and careful planning.

The plots themselves were marvels, each one carved from the blessed earth through the sacrifice of his essence as an Early Creature!

Within these blessed rectangles of earth, the seeds of Auric Vitae Grass had been planted with spacing that suggested careful attention to optimal growing conditions.

Though still in their earliest stages of development, the seeds had already begun to respond. Tiny shoots of green-gold vegetation pushed through the radiant soil like fingers reaching toward light, their surfaces already displaying the characteristic shimmer that marked them as something beyond normal plant life.

The sight of them filled Noah with satisfaction as this was the foundation upon which he would build advancement that could rival the greatest achievements of the Earliest Folds.

Beside the plots, Heidrun lounged with the casual arrogance that had become her trademark. Her lustrous white fur caught and reflected the golden light of the Shore until she appeared to be carved from compressed starlight itself, while her crystalline eyes regarded the emerging vegetation with obvious pride and anticipation.

The magnificent goat had positioned herself with strategic precision, close enough to the plots to discourage any other being from approaching her future delicacies, yet far enough away to maintain an air of imperial detachment.

Noah approached her position and reached out to stroke her head, his fingers running through fur that felt like silk woven from pure light.

Heidrun allowed the gesture with regal tolerance, raising her head with expressions of pride and arrogance that somehow managed to convey gratitude without diminishing her imperial bearing in the slightest!

Satisfied with this moment of connection, Noah turned his attention to the real purpose of his approach. He waved his hands with movements that carried the authority to reshape reality itself, calling forth treasures that had been acquired through careful trade in the markets of Aeternitas Concordia.

The herbs materialized in the space before him like offerings presented to existence itself, each one blazing with its own unique signature of power and potential.

The moment these precious specimens entered the atmosphere of the Early Veiled Shore, reality itself seemed to take notice of their presence!

|Multiple cultivation-ready specimens have been detected within the Early Veiled Shore’s domain. Transcendent Veilmoss, Chronos Petrichor, Void-Heart Chrysanthemums, Echo Sage, and Infinity’s Breath Orchids have been identified as compatible for planting.|

HUUM!

|To properly establish cultivation plots for specimens of this magnitude, the sacrifice of Early Creature Blood will be required. Recommended allocation: 180 drops per standard plot for Transcendent-grade specimens, 250 drops per plot for Temporal-sensitive varieties, 150 drops for Void-attuned species.|

|Current specimens require a total of 580 drops of Early Creature Blood to establish proper cultivation environments. Proceed with plot establishment?|

Noah smiled at the cascade of information, his eyes shining with anticipation as he absorbed the implications of what these herbs could provide.

"Take whatever is needed," he said.

The response was immediate and visceral. His skin split open along precise lines that followed the natural flow of authority through his enhanced physiology, allowing drops of crimson-gold blood to flow forth with the stately grace of liquid starlight.

Each drop that emerged carried within it the compressed essence of what it meant to be an Early Creature, potential so concentrated that Existence itself seemed to bend around their passage through the air.

Where each drop touched the blessed earth of the Shore, transformation began immediately.

The golden sands shifted and reformed, their very nature being rewritten by the influence of Early Creature essence. Square plots of fertile land rose from the Shore itself, their surfaces shining with white-gold radiance.

The sight was magnificent to behold...blood given freely for the purpose of creation rather than destruction!

With the plots established and pulsing with readiness, Noah began the careful process of planting each precious specimen with his own hands.

The Transcendent Veilmoss went into the first plot, its ethereal fronds seeming to phase between states of existence as they settled into soil that had been blessed by his essence. The moment the herb made contact with its new environment, another cascade of information flowed across his consciousness.

|Transcendent Veilmoss successfully planted in Enhanced Early Cultivation Plot. Optimal growing conditions detected. Estimated time to maturity: 24 hours under current Shore enhancement levels. Expected yield: 300% of baseline harvest due to Early Creature blood infusion. Harvest window: 24-hour optimal period beginning at full maturity. Secondary shoots anticipated to develop Temporal Manipulation properties due to Shore’s unique authority signature.|

...!

The Chronos Petrichor required even more delicate handling, its crystalline structure existing in multiple temporal states simultaneously.

As Noah placed it within its designated plot, he could feel time itself responding to the herb’s presence.

|Chronos Petrichor successfully integrated with Temporal-Enhanced Cultivation Plot. Warning: Herb exists in quantum temporal superposition. Maturation will occur across multiple timeline branches simultaneously. Estimated harvest readiness: 12 hours in standard timeline, with additional yields available from parallel growth cycles.|

Each subsequent planting brought its own revelations and promises.

|Void-Heart Chrysanthemums anchored...|

|Echo Sage successfully planted in...Maturation: 10 hours. Special attribute: Leaves will carry compressed experiences of Shore’s accumulated...|

|Infinity’s Breath Orchids established in Infinity-Resonant Cultivation Space. Growth enhanced by proximity to Sacred Totem of Infinity. Maturation: 12 hours with continuous bloom cycle thereafter...|

One after another, they were completed!

As Noah completed the planting process, he stood back to appreciate the vibrant plots of cultivated land that spread before him like a mosaic of compressed possibility!

The loose obsidian crown that hung at an angle on his head began to shine with inner radiance as Yoshinami responded to his satisfaction.

In the space of a heartbeat, her terrifyingly gorgeous figure materialized beside him with the fluid grace of a predator assuming perfect position.

She surveyed the farmland with crimson eyes that burned with ancient hunger, her pale features shining.

"Such beauty," she said, "needs to be painted and nurtured with seas of blood. Gardens flourish when watered with the essence of enemies, when fertilized with the compressed authority of those foolish enough to oppose their cultivator."

Her gaze shifted to Noah with predatory intensity, crimson orbs blazing with anticipation of violence yet to come.

"Master," she continued, her words dripping with honeyed malice, "whose blood will you have me spill? My threads are ready to bind and collapse existence itself. My webs hunger for prey worthy of their attention..."

...!

The crimson eyes of Yoshinami flashed dangerously as she spoke, each word carrying within it the promise of True Death delivered to any who dared threaten what her master had built.

Noah smiled at her bloodthirsty enthusiasm and reached out to pat her head, his fingers running through dark hair that seemed to contain shadows deeper than the space between stars.

"You would scare the shit out of me if I had not bound you to my service," he said with genuine amusement, "but yes, through you, we will indeed spill blood. The threads of existence themselves will run crimson before we are finished."

In the distance, Heidrun observed this exchange with arrogant eyes that had grown wide with caution.𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The magnificent goat began to slowly edge away from their position, her imperial bearing intact but clearly motivated by self-preservation instincts that warned her against remaining near two existences who she deemed a bit mental!

With the agricultural projects established and his deadly companion properly motivated, Noah turned his attention toward the distant figure of Moiraine. She sat in meditative stillness upon the golden sands, her form blazing with the accumulated light of Kleos Glyphs as she worked to forge additional protections.

"Alright," Noah called across the Shore, his voice carrying with crystalline clarity, "let us make our way toward the Transcendent Temporal Folds!"

As he spoke these words, his body began to divide with the precision of perfect symmetry. One became two, each form complete and perfect in its own right, carrying within it the full weight of his accumulated authority.

One body remained upon the Shore, ready to continue overseeing and increasing in power. The other prepared for departure to realms where Dead Existences challenged everything!

The departing body tapped upon the obsidian crown that adorned his head, causing Yoshinami’s figure to vanish with the fluid grace of shadow returning to its source. The crown responded to this action by flashing with inner radiance, its simple circlet form beginning to expand and transform with the sound of crystallizing possibility.

The obsidian material flowed across his body, covering him from head to toe in armor that emanated a dreadfully silent aura of power.

The transformation was both beautiful and terrifying to witness, each piece of the growing protection fitting into place!

The armor itself was archaic and ancient in its design. The obsidian surface held depths that seemed to contain entire Folds of darkness, while patterns of deep purple and gold traced across its structure in designs.

The helm that covered his head allowed only his vibrant eyes to remain visible. Around the visor, the glyph of a spider had been inscribed with masterwork precision, its lines pulsing with the promise of webs that could bind existence itself.

With such an imposing demeanor established, this armored body of Noah appeared near Moiraine’s position. She had already formed a second body of her own, her Kleos and Eminent Early Living Existential Glyphs shining with brilliant radiance as she prepared to display the terrifying scope of her newfound power.

The Early Veiled Shore pulsed with anticipation as, in the next moment, they disappeared entirely!

In the distance, the Sacred Totem Towers hummed with sympathetic resonance, while the crystalline waters continued their dance against shores that had been blessed by the blood of an Early Creature.

And in the cultivation plots where precious herbs grew in soil enriched by sacrifice and determination, the future continued to take root as all these resources...would only empower and elevate Noah’s existence in the near future!
