Chapter 4784: The Ultimate Failure II

The area became unfathomably quiet as Noah stared at the place where a Leader used to be.

The attack of curiosity all the way from The Earliest Folds ended like this after all this time.

What a wonder existence was.

Noah closed his eyes as before him, prompts began to descend.

|VICTORY|

|Opponent: Gilgamesh, The First Leader|

|Classification: THE Fundamental Depth|

|Affiliation: THE Living Paradox, THE Loom|

|Status: COMPLETELY COLLAPSED|

|You have devoured the Heart of a Civilization that held immense comparative Weight at THE Fundamental Depth.|

|Gilgamesh’s Unity exceeded normal/average Fundamental Depth parameters by estimated 340%.|

|Additional harvest obtained from complete collapse of remaining existence.|

|This harvest has provided sufficient Depth to trigger advancement.|

|Your Civilizations of Mana and Hunger, though they dont necessarily fit into this classification as they are in totality, Formless, can officially be considered to have advanced to THE Fundamental Depth.|

|You may now begin refining and reinforcing your foundation at THE Fundamental Depth.|

|You may elevate its Weight and Immensity through continued harvest and Katharsis.|

|At this current moment, not enough information has been gathered to make a truly accurate statement regarding the comparative Weight you currently hold at THE Fundamental Depth compared to THE Creature and others like him.|

|Preliminary estimates suggest your foundation exceeds normal parameters, but precise measurements require additional data.|

|Recommendation: Continue building. Continue harvesting. The ceiling has still not been found.|

|Gilgamesh, The First Leader, has been completely collapsed.|

|Former Status: Warden of THE Loom|

|Current Status: Non-existent|

|His accumulated knowledge and authority have been absorbed into your foundations.|

|His existence will never return. Complete collapse is absolute.|

|This action will be known to THE Living Paradox soon enough.|

|Similar to how you found the potential collapse of Lumivara and Ul’moreth through your connection to your followers...|

|THE Living Paradox will sense the permanent loss of Gilgamesh through his connection to THE Loom.|

|Prepare for potential retaliation.|

|Prepare for potential escalation.|

|THE Weavers remain at large within THE Agora of Primordial Judgment.|

|Your original objective has not been completed.|

|Gilgamesh was a distraction. A worthy one, but a distraction nonetheless.|

|THE Weavers must still be collapsed.|

...!

Noah smiled at such words as Ruination was having her fun.

|Your advancement to THE Fundamental Depth does not change your Formless classification.|

|You remain unplaceable within conventional Depth categories.|

|Your Fundamental Depth foundation: Assessment pending. Data insufficient.|

Noah opened his eyes to the gaze of THE Secretive Eon looking at him up and down with a slight smile.

She had been watching the entire time and now, she seemed ready to share her thoughts.

"No death or collapse is good."

Her voice came imposing and mysterious, holding the weight of someone who had contemplated these truths across eons.

"I actually consider death to be a failure of Existence. A failure of someone to completely master what Existence has presented them."

Her eyes held depths that seemed to swallow light itself.

"Even the peasant born without any authority always has another chance to continue living. Another path to find. Another way to survive what Existence throws at them."

She tilted her head slightly.

"If they meet death, they simply were not successful. They did not solve the puzzle that their circumstances presented. They did not overcome the obstacles that could have been overcome."

Her smile grew sharper.

"The most fearsome peasant that I know is THE Living Paradox. Look at where he arrived after all of that adversity. Born into nothing. Given nothing. And yet he clawed his way to become one of THE Four. He solved every puzzle. He overcame every obstacle. He refused to accept failure."

She paused.

"Whatever life that Gilgamesh led before his death, whatever glory and accomplishments he had... to me, all of it is worth absolutely nothing."

Her voice grew colder.

"Because in the end, he could not stop his collapse. In the end, he faced the ultimate failure."

THE Secretive Eon shook her head as she said this.

Noah turned to observe her calmly.

He did not reply right away.

He thought more about her words. The cold logic of them. The brutal assessment that reduced an entire existence to a simple binary of success and failure. Live or die. Overcome or be overcome.

There was truth in what she said.

And yet...

In the end, he chose not to reply.

He simply held a moment of silence.

Whether it was for himself or for another, he did not know. Perhaps for Gilgamesh, who had at least chosen his own ending. Perhaps for the countless beings across his journey who had faced the ultimate failure under his hands. Perhaps simply to acknowledge that existence was vast, and not everything could be reduced to equations of success.

After a few seconds of this silence, he turned toward THE Secretive Eon.

"If your Disciple could choose between any of the philosophies of the oldest powers in Existence, which one would she choose?"

He asked such a question simply.

THE Secretive Eon yawned before she replied.

"Existence."

The word came casual and dismissive.

"She was always a fool when it came to Existence. She idolized THE Creature even though I told her... in the end, I would stand above him and collapse him as well."

BOOM!

A fool when it came to Existence and THE Creature!

When Noah thought about this, he couldn’t help but turn his head in a particular direction.

Toward The Early Veiled Shore of THE Creature.

Toward where another body of his currently stood.

---

The Embodiment that THE Creature had laid out had ended moments ago.

And the results were astonishing to observe.

Noah stood near the figures of THE First Hunger and THE Living Origin as both of them at this moment held radiant Fundamental Depths!

They were power-leveled ridiculously by a single Embodiment of THE Creature!

The Depth of THE Living Origin seemed even more potent, as if she was not that far away from Half-Step Absolute. Her entire existence thrummed with authority that had been compressed and refined by forces beyond normal comprehension.

It made some sense.

THE Living Spirit and THE Living Concept who sided with THE Living Paradox within THE Loom each had power at Half-Step Absolute. They had followed different paths, aligned with different philosophies, served different masters.

But in the end, they achieved the same destination.
