Chapter 4806: Everything III
The Weavings related to THE Living Paradox were absolutely crawling with corruption. It made sense given what Noah now understood.
THE Living Paradox spread instability through his very actions. His changes to reality created byproducts of malformation that naturally accumulated around anything connected to him.
The Weavings related to THE Creature were also surprisingly infected.
But Chaos...
Chaos was actually relatively clean.
It did not make sense!
Was THE Primordial Chaos more diligent than even Paradox and THE Creature?
The being who represented disorder and entropy was somehow maintaining his domain with more care than those who represented existence and contradiction?
Noah filed this information away for later contemplation. There was something there. Some insight into the nature of THE Primordial Chaos that contradicted his apparent philosophy. Some secret hidden in the cleanliness of Chaos that spoke of intentions not yet revealed.
But for now, he had work to do.
Noah perceived all of this before he shook his head and focused.
In the next moment, he began forming a Logos with his Seals of Absolute Tongue.
The Seals that were branded across his skin blazed with incandescent light. They rotated around his form, aligning themselves according to principles that transcended normal linguistic construction. Letters combined. Sounds merged. Meaning crystallized.
A word formed.
A word of power.
A word that carried the authority of THE Weaver of Existence, THE Genesis Monarch of Infinite Lexicons.
CLEANSE!
BOOOM!
He did not need to use it like this.
He could have just utilized his Depth and expressed it to press down on all the Corrupted Growths he saw. It would have been efficient. It would have been effective. It would have accomplished the same goal with less expenditure of authority.
But he did it because he could.
He did it because he wanted to see what would happen when The First Tongue itself commanded corruption to cease.
He did it because he was a farmer, and a farmer took pride in the tools of his trade.
In the next moment, a blinding blue-gold light permeated over everything Noah had the visibility to see!
It spread like dawn breaking across an endless horizon!
It washed over THE Agora of Primordial Judgment, touching every corner of that vast domain where four philosophical factions competed for supremacy.
It spread through THE Corrupted Vault of Ginnungagap.
It spread into the nearby Wastes, pushing back against corruption that had seemed eternal. For just a moment, for just a breath, some regions of the Wastes of THE Fallout became slightly less chaotic. Slightly more stable. Slightly more like what they had been before THE Living Paradox had scarred reality itself.
And as soon as his cleansing light passed over it, all the countless Corrupted Growths across different regions of Observable Existence that he could see and grasp trembled!
They shriveled!
The green-obsidian masses that had been feeding on purity found themselves facing authority that transcended their parasitic existence. They could not resist. They could not flee. They could only transform.
They turned into pure white-gold light!
The corruption that had been feeding on The First Tongue was converted back into Pure Civilizational Authority that then sank and permeated into the surrounding Observable Existence. What had been poison became medicine. What had been degradation became nourishment. What had been entropy became stability.
All the lines representing golden threads of Principles related to Fate became clean.
All the endless blue-gold seas permeating over everything that Noah saw became free of any Corrupted Growths.
And as this cleansing finished, the affected regions seemed to shine even more brightly!
The First Tongue ran cleaner through Weavings that had been partially clogged with corruption. Principles pulsed with renewed vigor now that parasites no longer fed upon them. Nearby Existence itself seemed to breathe easier in the regions that Noah had touched.
And as this action finished...
BOOM!
Noah felt a loud boom in his mind and existence!
A heavy and unfathomable thing emerged within him!
It was not Depth. It was not Weight. It was not any of the conventional measurements of power that he had grown accustomed to tracking.
It was something else entirely.
Something that felt like concentrated wonder from Observable Existence itself.
|Purification Complete|
|You have cleansed a significant portion of Existence and contributed to the net positive stability of Observable Existence, and this contribution has been recognized.|
|Finally, for the first time in your existence, you are a significant contributing member of Civilization, of Observable Existence, as before this moment you only took and harvested and consumed and grew through the collapse of others, which is not wrong since it is how the strong become stronger, but it is not the only way.|
|The grander the contributors of Observable Existence are, the grander Observable Existence is, and vice versa, because Observable Existence is vast and seemingly endless but it does not exist by itself as it is not a passive backdrop against which events unfold, but rather a living musing woven from the contributions of all who exist within it.|
|Those within it decide just how immense they are, and as a result, how immense Observable Existence itself becomes.|
|You have decided to be immense, and Observable Existence has thus become enen more immense.|
...!
The prompts were heavy, but Noah only gave them a glance.
His attention was focused on what was emerging in his existence.
He looked inward, toward THE Organ of Civilization where his Ways and Depths were housed. Where his Civilizations of Mana and Hunger flowed through. Where the newly inherited Derivative Civilization of Undifferentiated Fate had begun flowing.
And there, forming among these foundations, was something new.
It looked like a cluster of mobius strips wrapping around each other endlessly, surfaces that had no true beginning or end, edges that connected to themselves in impossible geometries. It pulsed with light that was simultaneously all colors and no color. It hummed with a frequency that resonated with the very fabric of Observable Existence.
And it was fucking heavy.
Fat and heavy!
