Chapter 4684: THE Fallout! VI

Back in that region of collapse.

Well, it actually could not truly be called a region of collapse anymore as this entire place was completely changed and carrying entirely different characteristics compared to before.

The surrounding Existence was covered by motes of gray multicolored allure as Noah faced bombardment all around. And yet for the first time, his existence held a sense of stability that the newly forged Phoneme of Quintessence provided.

It was like his existence was surrounded by countless shields, but only a single colorless shield was currently working.

The light of The Fallout still permeated across his entire existence as…

|An unfathomable and undeniable absolute change has been detected in Existence due to THE Fallout.|

|THE Fallout was undeniably meant to be experienced by every single lifeform in Observable Existence.|

|The Axioms of Observable Existence utilized to enact it have deemed it so.|

|Their set effects are now being branded across Existence.|

|No exceptions. No escapes. No mercy.|

…!

BOOM!

Noah’s eyes flashed with a sense of alarm as in the next moment, a silent gray light of brilliance bloomed from the countless mushroom clouds of flaming Existence.

This light was a unique one that was not meant to be destructive as much as pervasive.

It was meant to be penetrative, as it permeated through all of Existence dancing on the waves and strings of The First Tongue. They shockingly sought to even enter THE Infiniverse.

And even though THE Infinite Loom and THE Faraday Cage were burning with brilliance, a portion of the light still permeated through. It used Existence and The First Tongue as passages to travel as it washed across THE Infiniverse.

It shockingly did the same to The Early Veiled Shore of THE Creature. Anaximander raised his head up in defiance and roared as the gray light passed over him and countless others in the Shore of THE Creature.

THE Living Paradox had been extremely thorough.

THE Living Paradox had planned a great deal.

He truly planned to reshape Existence in an unfathomable manner, using things that Noah had just only recently learned about. The vision of THE Living Paradox became abundantly clear at this time.

As Noah faced these storms and waves of terrifying Weavings of The Fallout, prompts bloomed that allowed the vision of THE Living Paradox to be known at this moment.

|Your Existence has been branded with THE Existential Curse.|

|Curse Designation: THE Existential Ceiling.|

|THE Living Paradox designed The Fallout not just as a weapon of destruction but as a mechanism of control.|

|The curse is woven into the very flames and light of THE Fallout.|

|Effects of THE Existential Ceiling:|

|PRIMARY LIMITATION – THE Absolute Barrier:|

|- All entities affected by The Fallout can never advance beyond THE Fundamental Depth of Absolute Sovereignty.|

|- THE Absolute Depth becomes permanently inaccessible regardless of talent, resources, or time invested.|

|- Attempts to break through to Absolute Depth result in existential backlash that can collapse the entity entirely.|

|SECONDARY LIMITATION – Degraded Advancement Rate:|

|- Rate of cultivation and Way refinement reduced by 70% compared to pre-Fallout standards.|

|- The Clarity, Conviction, and Completeness of one’s Way becomes harder to develop.|

|- What once took centuries now takes millennia.|

|- What once took millennia now takes eons.|

|TERTIARY LIMITATION – Principle Erosion:|

|- Principles invoked or altered by cursed entities slowly degrade over time.|

|- All authority becomes inherently temporary, requiring constant maintenance.|

|- This prevents any cursed entity from building lasting power structures and Civilizations.|

|QUATERNARY LIMITATION – First Tongue Interference:|

|- The eighteen original Phonemes become harder to perceive and utilize.|

|- Logos formation requires 300% more effort and concentration.|

|- Philologies assembled by cursed entities are inherently unstable.|

|- The First Tongue itself seems to resist the touch of the cursed.|

|Markers of the Cursed:|

|- Faint cracks in your existence that glow with residual Fallout energy.|

|- A subtle dimming of your authority’s luminescence.|

|- An almost imperceptible tremor in your Sovereignty when exerted.|

|- The taste of ash that never quite leaves your perception.|

|Exposure Classification: Direct Exposure.|

|Full curse effects. Permanent and absolute.|

|Additional Warning: Unknown and unfathomable Mutations of Existence may bloom as a result of the absolute change and degradation to one’s existence.|

…!

Noah read all these prompts with a sense of rage and coldness building in his chest.

They sought to restrict him?

They sought to block off his path?

WHO DID THEY THINK THEY WERE?!

“OOOH!!!”

He roared with defiance that shook the very fabric of collapsing reality around him, and THE Fallout itself seemingly roared back at him for his defiance as if it were asking…’The fuck are you on about? What are you even going to do about it?! You bum!’

…!

The existential degradation around him became even more intense, as if the curse itself took offense at his refusal to submit.

The markers of the cursed began to unfold on Noah’s skin even as the flames of THE Fallout sought to end him.

Faint cracks appeared across his existence, glowing with the gray-multicolored light of residual Fallout energy. They spread like spiderwebs across his being, each one a reminder of the limitation being branded into his very soul.

His authority’s luminescence dimmed, the brilliant blue-gold of his Mana flickering as if struggling against a suffocating weight.

A tremor ran through his Sovereignty.

And the taste of ash filled his perception, coating everything with the flavor of endings and decay.

The curse was taking hold.

THE Existential Ceiling was being inscribed into his very being.

And at such a point…

BOOM!

He felt an eruption in his existence as warmth flooded through him from nine distinct points of power!

|The 8 other Core Phonemes apart from Quintessence have been forged and presented to you by Ruination.|

|9 new Core Phonemes of The First Tongue have been born.|

|They begin to flow across your existence, unblemished by The Fallout.|

|New Phonemes Registered:|

|- Phoneme of Quintessence: The purest essence of a thing, distilled truth stripped of all excess.|

|- Phoneme of Infinity: The boundless nature that defies limitation and ending.|

|- Phoneme of Tyranny: The absolute authority that demands obedience from reality itself.|

|- Phoneme of Fortune: The manipulation of probability and the guarantee of beneficial outcomes.|

|- Phoneme of Advantage: The systematic exploitation of loopholes in Existence’s rules.|

|- Phoneme of Narrative: The shaping of events to follow the arc of a protagonist’s journey.|

|- Phoneme of Harvest: The gathering of all that can be gathered from all sources.|

|- Phoneme of Hunger: The endless consumption that grows stronger with each devouring.|

|- Phoneme of Potential: The realization of possibilities that have not yet become.|

|These 9 Phonemes are YOUR Phonemes.|

|They did not exist before you.|

|They are immune to The Fallout’s targeted parameters.|

|They are the foundation of your unique existence.|

Noah closed his eyes as The Fallout raged around him.

He felt these nine points of new power. He felt how brilliant they were. He felt the warmth they encompassed all over his existence. He felt them as if they were part of his limbs, an extension of himself that had always been there waiting to be realized.

His existence mourned the curse being branded upon it.

But his existence also rejoiced at the new Phonemes flowing through it.

And he roared out with all his being…

“I WILL NOT BE BOUND BY SUCH A LIMITATION!”

THE Existential Ceiling.

He did not wish to be bound by such a limitation. And yet the capability and the power of THE Fallout was absolute. It was apparently being carried out by multiple Axioms of Observable Existence.

So Existence itself was telling him that he could not change it.

But his core sought to change it.

His innovation and design of brand new Phonemes of The First Tongue sought to change it.

But since it was absolute and could not be changed, another solution had to be found.

And so…

|Your existence is already too strange.|

|Too anomalous.|

|Too filled with infinities that defy normal parameters.|

|Your Infinite Mana seeks to reject the limitation.|

|Your First Tongue seeks to rewrite the degradation, regardless of how absolute it is.|

|An unprecedented possibility has been reached.|

|The basal mutative factor of THE Fallout has been commandeered by the emergence of your nine Core Phonemes of The First Tongue.|

|They do not exist in THE Fallout’s targeted parameters.|

|They were not accounted for in THE Living Paradox’s calculations.|

|They are outside the scope of the Axioms’ programmed effects.|

|Your 9 new Phonemes of The First Tongue are now utilizing the very power of THE Fallout that is backed by the immensity of Axioms of Observable Existence.|

|They are inscribing and allowing the emergence of an absolute anomalous factor.|

|This factor could potentially deny the absolute limitation imposed on you.|

|This factor could give you the best chance of survival in the landscape that will follow THE Fallout.|

|Your existence is undergoing mutation.|

|Emergence of an anomalous factor backed by:|

|- The First Tongue|

|- Your Infinities|

|- THE Fallout itself|

|- The redirected flow of absolutes from Axioms far outside your reach|

|Something unprecedented is emerging.|

HUUM!

|THE Absolute Mutation of THE Existential Paradox Loop is emerging in your existence.|

|Classification: Singular Mutation.|

|Only one instance can exist in Observable Existence.|

|You have been given the distinction of THE Absolute Mutant.|

…!

BOOM!

Noah’s entire body trembled as if it would shatter at any moment.

But it became even more solid and grander an instant later as an unfathomable thing emerged.

The nine Phonemes that had been flowing through his existence began to weave themselves into a pattern that had never existed before. They danced with the very flames of THE Fallout that sought to destroy him, stealing the Axiom-backed power and redirecting it into the formation of something new.

The cracks of the curse still glowed on his skin.

But now, colorless threads of Quintessence began to weave between them.

The dimming of his authority persisted.

But now, the Phoneme of Infinity pulsed against it, refusing to accept limitation.

The tremor in his Sovereignty remained.

But now, the Phoneme of Tyranny began to stabilize it with absolute authority.

THE Existential Paradox Loop was being born, not despite THE Fallout, but because of THE Fallout!
