Chapter 4867: Undifferentiation!
Even moving and breathing felt tough at this moment for Noah.
With every breath he took, even though he didn’t need to take a breath, he felt like he was breathing in all of himself and breathing out all of himself simultaneously. The infinity that had bathed his existence wasn’t something he could simply possess and move on from!
He felt like with every passing moment he was breathing in infinity and expelling infinity, his lungs becoming conduits. It was a unique sensation to have, both exhilarating and terrifying in equal measure.
It would have been ideal to have at least a few minutes to acclimate to the immense changes across his existence.
But he was being forced to do all of this acclimation while being chased by a monstrous creature who could decimate Absolutes with the casual ease of a child crushing insects.
The only reason that he was surviving as long as he was came down to a single factor: the Immensity of Bazuman that could undifferentiate so many things was not working on him because it couldn’t undifferentiate his infinity.
But this creature also held a terrifying Depth.
So the beams of incandescent light chasing after him, those Rays of Undifferentiated Annihilation, would only take one or two direct hits before this body would be crumbled and this temporal traversal would come to an end.
The proto-matter storms around him churned with increasing violence as Noah pushed them to move faster, his infinities directing their flow while he rode their currents like a leaf in a hurricane. Behind him, Bazuman’s countless crimson eyes tracked his trajectory with interest that had transformed into genuine excitement, the horror of a million jaws opening and closing with anticipation as if they were a predator on a particularly enjoyable hunt.
But with every passing instant, Noah acclimated more and more to his existence and the Immensity that it currently carried.
"Oh?"
He asked himself this question as if he didn’t believe what he was perceiving to be true, as he came to grasp something about himself that he tried right away.
Because with infinity bathing everything, it also bathed his Seals of Absolute Tongue that represented his Way and Civilization.
They weren’t just seals anymore.
At this moment, as his figure burning with blue-gold light shot out toward one direction while surrounded by storms of proto-matter, the beams that could collapse and undifferentiate were bypassing more and more of the storm. The proto-matter could only distort their trajectories so much before the weight of Bazuman’s Depth forced them through, and they were about to reach him with devastating impact.
At such a time, Noah flung his arm back.
He threw out a single Absolute Seal of Infinity.
And utmost brilliance ensued right after.
|Existential Observation|
|The Absolute Seals representing your Civilization are now Infinite|
|They have no limit to their number|
|They have no constraint on their manifestation|
|You threw one|
|Infinity responded|
BOOM!
Even though Noah had thrown out a single seal of infinity, in the next moment, a flood of endless seals bloomed out like radiant blue-gold flowers unfurling across the undefined space of THE Prima Indifferentia.
The seals emerged from that single point of release and multiplied endlessly, each one spawning more and more until the entire region behind Noah became a garden of linguistic authority made manifest. They looked like countless blue-gold plum blossoms emerging from his existence, their petals formed from concentrated Phonemes and their centers burning with the weight of his Civilization.
A unique sound bloomed out with the emergence of infinite seals of infinity, a resonance that was simultaneously a whisper and a roar, the sound of one becoming many becoming infinite. The proto-matter around them responded with awe!
The sheer number of the seals was so overwhelming that the terrifying and perilous beams of light stemming from THE Undivided One became covered entirely, their trajectories intersecting with petal after petal after petal of blue-gold authority. They smashed into these seals with force that should have shattered anything below Absolute, and the seals did shatter, breaking apart into motes of linguistic light.
But for every seal that broke, infinity provided another.
And another.
And another.
Momentarily, the entire region looked like a beautiful scene filled with blue-gold scattered plum blossoms, a garden of impossible flowers blooming in a place where gardens had never existed and flowers had never been differentiated. The seals resisted undifferentiation because they were born from infinity, and infinity couldn’t be made less than it was, so they overcame the terrifying light released by THE Undivided One through sheer inexhaustible presence.
But because the Depth of this being was still there, and the density and weight of Noah’s seals was nowhere as immense as this terrifying entity chasing after him...
BOOM!
The beams that had been distorted were reinforced by something far more direct.
Millions of tentacles erupted from Bazuman’s ever-shifting form, each one ending in jaws that gnashed with hunger that transcended normal appetite. They surged through the garden of infinite seals, tearing through the blue-gold blossoms with physical force rather than undifferentiation, using raw Depth to accomplish what conceptual attack could not.
The many crimson eyes of THE Undivided One seemed to show more and more interest toward Noah, gleaming with excitement that made the proto-matter around them tremble with sympathetic dread.
"Little one."
The voice that emerged from Bazuman was wrong in ways that transcended description, coming from everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, formed from concepts that hadn’t fully differentiated into sound.
"Do not struggle."
The tentacles pressed forward, crushing seals by the thousands even as thousands more bloomed to replace them.
"Just let me have a taste."
HUUM!
Noah looked back with a calm and solemn gaze even as seals continued to flood from his hand like an endless tide of flower petals. The Immensity of THE Undivided One still drew near despite his infinite defense, the tentacles and jaws closing the distance through brute force that his seals couldn’t fully resist.
He searched inside of his existence for something more.
He hadn’t yet pulled upon the Infinite Everything that had formed within him, choosing to give his existence a chance to break it down and understand what it truly was before utilizing it. Because everything was new at this moment, and being in this region of THE Prima Indifferentia caused RUINATION to constantly fight an influx of undifferentiation, the analysis was taking longer than usual.
But it was still his existence, and the things that weren’t new were rapidly becoming clear to him.
Right now, when he considered how he could overcome something so much stronger than him to survive, another infinity bloomed and blazed with light within his foundations.
His main Civilization allowed for him to burn with this light of infinity, but he wasn’t alone in that burning.
There were Derivative Civilizations under him.
THE Civilizational Authority of Infinite Hunger stirred within his existence, the endless appetite that had consumed THE Paradox of Consumption and reached Half-Step Absolute as a result. THE Civilizational Authority of Infinite Undifferentiated Fate stirred alongside it, the connection to destiny that touched upon the very nature of this place.
Both of them permeated into all of the seals of infinity that he was releasing.
The vibrant blue-gold petals endlessly raging all around him took on shades of crimson from the Hunger and even more gold from the Undifferentiated Fate. They transformed from defensive flowers into something else entirely, their edges becoming sharper, their presence becoming hungrier, their nature becoming more aligned with THE Prima Indifferentia itself.
And shockingly, as if they had gained an extremely sharp edge that cut through more than just physical matter...
ZING!
The tentacles and incorporeal beams of brilliance from THE Undivided One began to be caught up and sliced and broken down.
...!
The seals weren’t just blocking anymore.
They were devouring!
They were undifferentiating!
Tentacles that touched the crimson-tinged petals found themselves being consumed, their undefined flesh feeding into the Infinite Hunger that now permeated every seal. Beams of annihilation that struck the gold-touched blossoms found themselves being destabilized, their undifferentiation turned back upon them by seals that now carried the quality of THE Prima Indifferentia itself.
|Combat Analysis - Updated|
|You have learned to infuse Infinite Hunger and Infinite Undifferentiated Fate into your attacks|
|Your seals now carry a quality of endlessly devouring|
|They also carry a quality that only those native to THE Prima Indifferentia possess|
|The quality to induce undifferentiation|
|Even though your Depth is insufficient to survive direct confrontation with THE Undivided One|
|You have thrown out an infinite number of seals that now have the capability to break down and undifferentiate everything thrown at you|
|Bazuman is experiencing attacks being consumed and undifferentiated by prey|
|This will not last|
|Take this brief respite and run before THE Undivided One decides to get truly serious|
|Run!|
...!
BOOM!
The infinite seals continued to flood from his existence, creating a barrier of hungry, undifferentiating petals that bought him precious moments of distance. Behind him, Bazuman paused for the first time since the chase began, its million crimson eyes blinking in what might have been surprise as it watched its tentacles being devoured and its beams being destabilized.
And that novelty, that unprecedented experience, gave Noah the seconds he needed to push his proto-matter storm faster, to ride the currents of undefined potential deeper into THE Prima Indifferentia, to put distance between himself and something that could still absolutely destroy him if it chose to commit fully as...
BOOM!
He disappeared as if the storm of Proto-matter had reached a warping concentration, similar to what took him away from THE Primordial Paradox!
Behind him, the garden of infinite seals continued to bloom and devour and undifferentiate as the jaws of an Undivided One smiled devilishly with brutality, but his prey...was gone!
