Chapter 5173: Hey, Look At Us! I

While the fires of his retribution claimed the floating landmasses of THE Wyld and the Primordial Architects who had sought a Civilizational Holy War were reduced to insignificant drifts of ash, the focus of Noah remained divided across the vast distances of his reach.

Around this same time, he was focusing a significant portion of his consciousness that had traversed the profound connection toward Ubergulden Adelheid, and he was currently flooding her existence with a tidal wave of Quintessence Infiniforce that defied the previous limits of their shared bond.

Inside the intricate and golden weavings of her existence, the manifestations of Ubergulden Adelheid and Noah stood at the center of a surging multicolored flood, the density of the Infiniforce so great that it threatened to drown the ambient Observable Force of her domain.

Ubergulden Adelheid gazed at him with a look that remained heavy and cold, yet her expression shifted into a silent and narrow focus as she observed a fundamental change in his presence.

She witnessed the transition as the cold and imperious gaze of the Absolute began to thaw, the crystalline blue light of his lemniscate pupils receding into the depths of his eyes to be replaced by the sharp and dark calmness and amusement.

As the last remnants of the clinical void vanished from his features, Noah looked at her and offered a brief and measured cough to clear the heavy silence of the chamber before he finally spoke.

"Apologies, I had... a little episode there and initiated a process that required a certain degree of cognitive exclusion."

Ubergulden Adelheid did not immediately soften her posture, and her gaze remained clinical and cold as she looked him up and down while processing the return of his vibrant and tyrannical personality.

"I put a lot on the line for you, and I have risked the status of my House and my own continuation," she said, her voice carrying the sharp edge of a being who had been genuinely unsettled by his recent transformation.

"Can you not be trusted to remain himself? Has the weight of Infinity already begun to affect you in this manner, and will it happen randomly during the most critical moments of our ascent? I need to know if we are still able to have our arrangement, and perhaps more importantly, I need to know why...you are still flooding my existence with this intensity of Infinity if you have truly returned to yourself."

Noah met her flood of questions with a calm and unhurried composure, his figure radiating a sense of grounded power that felt even more dangerous than the cold apathy that had preceded it.

"Our...arrangement can certainly continue as this was not some episodic madness that will happen again, but rather a singular reboot of my system. I just made a major jump in power and had to reconfigure my foundations to account for the new architecture, and in the end, this development is quite good for you because my current standing should likely exceed the Transitional Cambrian stage between THE Second Scale and THE Third Scale."

WAA!

"If my calculations are correct, I may even be approaching the threshold of THE Third Scale in raw power, which means the Custos you are bound with is that much more formidable than the one you initially agreed to support."

He paused as the multicolored rivers continued to swirl around them, the concentration of the Infiniforce beginning to settle into a more manageable but still immense rhythm.

He was relentlessly flooding it in!

"As for why I have not stopped this flow of Infinity, the answer is simply that since the process has begun, there is no...logical reason to stop it. It should be very beneficial to you as I have steadied the current so that you can use and distribute it freely through your own weavings, and with this substance, with my Absolute Infinity...I will ensure you become a truly formidable Gilded One who stands apart from the rest of your people."

BOOM!

His words caused Ubergulden Adelheid to fall silent as she continued to stare at him with a cold and calculating intensity, her mind clearly weighing the potential of his new power against the risk he represented.

"THE Creature..." she murmured, her thoughts turning toward the news that was even now rippling through the higher reaches of the Braneworld.

Noah smiled and gave a light nod as he acknowledged the mention of his companion.

"A ridiculous being, truly. I had no idea he would have gained such direct access to THE Primordial Source, but because of his actions, the immediate matters in Observable Existence are wrapped up in a little bow. Sororis Prima Elzyana burned all of Observable Existence with her bindings, and with the chaos caused, I wondered if you have had any difficulty in doing what we talked about before. You mentioned a Sororis from THE Magna Sorora would be helping you with the fabrications, but the one I met today, Sororis Prima Elzyana, let me know that the members of that Sisterhood are a handful to deal with."

...!

Ubergulden Adelheid looked at him coldly before she closed her eyes for a long and patient moment, her focus turning inward as if she were confirming the status of her plans through the burning Infinity currently coursing through her foundations at elevated concentrations.

After she had confirmed whatever she needed to see, she looked back at Noah with an expression that suggested she was fully committing to a difficult decision.

"Even with all the chaos that has descended upon the lower domains, everything has been accomplished on my end. In fact, the chaos made certain aspects of the fabrication easier since there are currently multiple Gilded Ones who will be making their entry into Observable Existence to manage the aftermath of the Relictus appearance. You must wait in the Wandering Territories, and sometime within the next hour, I will send a Sororis for you to begin the transfer. You have a flare for the dramatics, so make sure that you are not doing anything too obvious to be caught, because with a Relictus appearing from down there, the Gilded Ones will keep a much closer gaze on everything happening."
