Chapter 4608: Ginnungagap Festival I

In Existence, if one could not fly, then they should at least run with everything they had.

If you could not run, then at least walk with steady determination.

If you could not even walk, then do every damn thing within your power to at least crawl forward.

Even if you lost your arms and legs, if your body was shattered and your foundation cracked, still find some way to keep moving forward through sheer force of will.

Whatever one did, however they accomplished it, they had to keep moving forward without pause.

This was not merely philosophical wisdom. This was survival imperative.

Because the moment you stopped moving forward, the moment you allowed yourself to believe you had reached a destination worth resting at, Existence would crush you under forces you were no longer prepared to face.

Stagnation was death. Complacency was collapse. Only forward motion, relentless and unceasing, offered any hope of enduring what came next.

---

Even though Noah had just made a ridiculous accomplishment that even he had not fully expected to achieve, he would continue moving forward without pause.

So he took a moment to consolidate his gains internally.

He closed his eyes, feeling the Logos inscribed across his body pulse with steady authority.

He opened them with renewed clarity.

And then he took a single step forward.

A moment later, the isolated vastness of The Primordial Genesis Arena began to fade as the spatial expansion deactivated.

The surroundings filled with hundreds of gathered Ginnu Lifeforms became visible once more.

Noah found himself faced with a heavy, profound silence.

The Ginnu Lifeforms were looking at him with eyes shining with complex emotions that mixed wonder, shock, calculation, and something approaching interest.

They observed him as if they were witnessing some unprecedented monster that had emerged from impossible circumstance.

An entity that should not exist, accomplishing what should not be possible.

The moment Noah’s figure was fully revealed standing alone in the now-normal-sized arena, The Goad still gripped casually in his hand while absolutely no trace of Raijin Katsuro remained anywhere, Ul’moreth’s presence expanded dramatically.

His hairy form rose high above all the assembled Ginnu Lifeforms as obsidian gold light radiated from him with crushing celebratory authority.

And at this moment, booming laughter erupted from THE Primeval Titan that shook the entire settlement.

|BAHAHA! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!|

His voice thundered across the space with infectious enthusiasm.

|Look upon this glory! Witness this wonder! Pre-THE against THE classification, and what is the result before your eyes? The impossible made manifest!|

He paused dramatically before continuing with building fervor.

|Roar for his glory! Scream for his virtue! Scream for... err...|

Ul’moreth paused awkwardly in his grand pronouncement.

Noah could feel the ancient being’s smile through their connection as Ul’moreth whispered directly into his mind.

|Little Anomaly, what do you want to be referred to as publicly? What name should they chant?|

Noah shook his head calmly as he replied without hesitation.

|The Scale Breaker is fine.|

Ul’moreth’s laughter intensified with satisfaction as his voice bellowed out again with renewed grandeur.

|Roar for his glory! Scream for his virtue! Scream for THE SCALE BREAKER!|

The Ginnu Lifeforms nearby looked at each other with uncertain expressions before the excitement became infectious.

They began to roar out in The First Tongue, their voices creating linguistic patterns that made reality vibrate.

|THE SCALE BREAKER! THE SCALE BREAKER! THE ANOMALY! THE ANOMALY!|

The chant built in intensity as hundreds of powerful entities raised their voices in genuine celebration.

Noah listened to all of this while shaking his head with mixture of embarrassment and acceptance.

In the next moment, Ul’moreth’s laughter continued as he raised his voice even louder, a sense of pride evident in his voice.

|To mark this glorious occasion, I shall unleash my personal boons from THE Vaults of Ginnungagap! I shall usher in A Ritual Festival of Existence to commemorate what we have witnessed! And I hope the rest of you will not be cheap with your contributions! COME!|

The atmosphere transformed instantly, becoming booming and raucous with building celebration.

In the region above the core settlement of The Primordial Genesis Shore, Ul’moreth raised one hairy hand and caused a massive Logos to be written directly into the sky itself.

Noah looked up at it with analytical focus, his eyes immediately breaking down its component structure.

The Logos combined the Phonemes of Fire, Unity, Beginning, Life, and Light into a complex word that translated most closely to "Eternal Celebration" or "Festival Without End."

In the next moment after the Logos fully manifested, the entire sky of this region flickered and transformed into brilliant, vibrant flames.

Not destructive fire, but celebratory radiance.

The heavens became painted in colors associated with ancient festivals across countless eras. Deep crimsons mixed with golden yellows. Emerald greens danced with sapphire blues. Violet purples intertwined with amber oranges.

It looked like vibrant flames formed entirely from visible Phonemes dancing above in complex patterns, creating a shifting aurora of linguistic celebration.

Down below on the ground, the Ginnu Lifeforms entered fully into the festive mood.

Some began making ancient music through their Weavings of Existence, creating sounds that resonated across multiple frequencies simultaneously.

Deep drumming that felt like heartbeats of reality itself. Melodic tones that seemed to come from instruments that did not physically exist. Harmonic chanting in The First Tongue that created layers of meaning beneath the celebration.

Others conjured Phonemes directly in the air around them, writing out variations and permutations that released ancient archaic melodies with their very existence.

A Ginnu formed the Phoneme of Air in twelve different variations simultaneously, each one producing a different musical note that harmonized with the others.

Another created the Phoneme of Water in flowing script that generated sounds like rushing rivers and cascading waterfalls.

The entire settlement transformed into a celebration of linguistic and existential wonder.

Then the Ginnu Lifeforms began thumping their chests with ritualistic fervor as their bodies released unique items that seemed to materialize from within their very beings.

Each treasure pulsed with concentrated THE Civilizational Authority.

|I shall contribute to the festival!| one THE Surface Depth Ginnu declared as they produced a crystallized fruit that glowed with internal radiance.

|I offer my boon as well!| another called out, releasing a jewel that seemed to contain compressed starlight.

Noah observed with fascinated attention as unique fruits, jewels, crystallized essences, metallic flowers, prismatic stones, and other naturally forming treasures began accumulating in the vibrant colorful skies above.

Each one filled with different expressions of THE Civilizational Authority.

Many Ginnu repeated the action of contributing their own treasures as a terrifying concentration of wonders began gathering overhead like a second sky made entirely from compressed value.

Noah activated his Lens of Civilization to examine what was being offered.

His gaze fixed on a particular jewel floating among the accumulating treasures.

|Treasure Analysis|

|Name: The Chaos-Edged Genesis Shard|

|Classification: Naturally Formed Civilizational Treasure|

|Composition: Pure undifferentiated unstable THE Civilizational Authority (Chaos-aligned)|

|Effect: Consumption increases Depth of Sovereignty by refining foundational authority|

|Warning: Authority contained within is highly unstable and will actively resist integration|

|Note: If one can correct or sufficiently handle the instability while devouring this treasure, significant advancement in Civilizational Depth can be achieved|

|Origin: THE Vaults of Ginnungagap|

He shifted focus to examine a vibrant fruit nearby.

|Treasure Analysis|

|Name: The Order-Touched Sovereign Fruit|

|Classification: Naturally Formed Civilizational Treasure|

|Composition: Pure undifferentiated unstable THE Civilizational Authority (Order-aligned)|

|Effect: Consumption increases Depth of Sovereignty by expanding authority foundation|

|Warning: Authority is unstable and requires careful refinement during absorption|

|Note: Entities capable of stabilizing the contained authority will experience dramatic growth in their Civilizational classification|

|Origin: THE Vaults of Ginnungagap|

Noah’s eyes narrowed as he continued scanning the accumulating treasures.

The vast majority of them, perhaps ninety percent or more, all shared the same origin notation.

THE Vaults of Ginnungagap.

So while Ginnu Lifeforms ushered in THE Ritual Festival of Existence under Ul’moreth’s enthusiastic direction, Noah found himself wondering with building curiosity.

What exactly were THE Vaults of Ginnungagap? And more importantly, where was it located?

It looked like a place someone with his particular appetites would very much enjoy exploring personally.

But even as all of this celebratory chaos unfolded around him, Noah shook his head internally.

As amazing as this festival was, as valuable as these treasures clearly were, he had actually wanted to keep his momentum going and jump directly into the next battle without pause.

To work his way systematically through imprisoned THE entities or even challenge THE Maelstrom Thundermane immediately!
