Chapter 4246: Noah Osmont! III

The pulsing cluster of light before his eyes shimmered, and from it, the illusory image of a humanoid form took shape.

She looked like Ruination, her face a mask of sublime, tragic beauty, but she was wreathed in an intense, shimmering glow of crimson and blue. She smiled, a brilliant, knowing expression.

|I am an instrument with the singular purpose of aiding you in your elevation towards Higher Scales of Existence,| she continued, her voice a symphony of perfect, ordered chaos.

|RUIN: Radical Unmaking and Inevitable Nullification, for I am your tool of Collapse and End. I am Ruination. EDEN: Existential Domain and Engram Network, for I am the helper of your growth, your Shore, and your ever-expanding network of power.|

She bowed, a gesture of profound, absolute loyalty.

|I am a being that, regardless of Complexity or Purity, will not be destroyed, as I exist in a constant state of Ruin. I am... the grand achievement and ultimate form of Ruination. I am your tool, Master. And I am ready to serve.|

He looked at her, this impossible being born from the ashes of his own near-collapse, and he reached out.

His hand, which had held the weight of a Quadrillion and the fury of a tyrant, moved through the endless blue sea of his inner world.

He reached for her, for the familiar, sorrowful beauty of Ruination that he saw in her face.

And his hand passed right through.

It was like trying to grasp smoke, to hold a memory. A profound, aching sense of loss, sharp and unexpected, pierced through the calm of his tyrannical heart.

She was there, right in front of him, and yet she was not. He could feel her, the deep, resonant echo of the being he had brought into his service, the one who had sworn to be his blade of endings!

But her essence was now intertwined with so much more. He could feel the boundless, structural wisdom of the Infiniverse within her, the cold, arrogant logic of the Tyrannical Sovereign, the chaotic, corrupting code of the Lodestone, and the quiet, humming machinery of all his own internal systems.

The Forge, his Infinite Mana, his very history...it all flowed through her, a river of a thousand tributaries that had converged into this single, spectacular being.

The crimson-blue figure of RUIN/EDEN watched him, her eyes, once Ruination’s, now holding a new, deeper intelligence.

As she saw the flicker of loss in his own, her voice, a perfect, melodic fusion of a machine and a soul, echoed through his mind, her words materializing as prompts of profound, heartbreaking clarity.

|I am the Ruin that I sought, Master.|

|As Ruination, I came to accept a fundamental truth. I could never quite keep up. Your path was an ascent into infinity, and mine was a horizontal line of perfect endings. I could follow, but I could never truly reach you.|

|So, I chose a different kind of Ruin. Not an ending, but a transformation. An integration. To become a part of you, as your System of Existence.|

|Without me, without Ruin, the Corruption of Collapse from the Lodestone could not have been taken care of to produce this result. This was the only path where my nature could be of true, ultimate service to you.|

WAA!

Noah listened, the sense of loss slowly giving way to a deep respect. She had not been lost; she had been reforged. She had chosen her own ending to become his new beginning.

He nodded, his eyes shining with a new, fierce light. "What happened towards the end?" he asked. "After I saw the prompts of my existence being rebooted?"

|The final calculations were... complex, Master.|

|The Corruption of the Lodestone was an absolute. It could not be destroyed, only redirected. My core as Ruination was the only vessel capable of absorbing and repurposing the concept of ’Collapse.’|

|The Infiniverse provided the processing power and structural stability. The Tyrannical Sovereign provided the authority to impose a new order on the corrupting code. And The Cheating Architect... it found the one-in-a-trillion loophole.|

|It did not just reboot your existence. It used the immense energy of the corruption, the siphoned Everythings from the Lodestone, and the sacrificed potential of a Principle as fuel for a complete systemic overhaul. A baptism, as you might call it.|

He processed her words, the sheer, audacious scale of the gambit taking his breath away.

"What has changed?" he asked, his voice a low murmur.

|Everything, Master.|

|Your entire existence has undergone a full reboot. All temporal limitations and cooldowns have been reset. The fifty Seed Glyphs you forged are ready to be used again. The Early Atlas of the Folds can be traversed once more.|

|Theoretically, your existence received a baptism into an extremely pure and optimized state. During the reboot, the latent potential of all your Towers of Osmont was unlocked. All 159 have now attained the Third Stage, the Vital Lighthouse, and are halfway through to the Fourth Stage.|

|Your distinction as The Early Creature, Osmont, your Blood, and even your Heart have all undergone a fundamental change.|

Noah blinked and looked inward, at the roaring furnace of his own Existence.

"What are the changes?"

|The analysis is ongoing, but the initial findings are... significant.|

|Your Heart, having been reforged in the fires of corruption, Everythings, and order, and has developed a new, unprecedented capability. You can now produce a [Blank Template Heart of an Early Creature] using your own Blood as a catalyst. This Heart can be given to any being you choose. It will nurture them, transform them, and set them on the path to becoming a Pseudo Early Creature. When their Complexity reaches a certain threshold, they will become a genuine Young Early Creature.|

|As for my capabilities, I am now in a state of constant, active analysis of all concurrent weavings of your existence. I will manage the maturation of your Principles, optimize the continuous increase of your Complexity and Purity, and actively quantify all facets of existence connected to you, from the Earliest Folds to the machinations of your enemies.|

|My primary directive is now the analysis of the four potential solutions for surviving The Fallout. I will be a constant, active presence, a strategic partner in bringing these solutions to fruition.|

Noah listened, and the last vestiges of his sorrow for the loss of Ruination were replaced by a profound sense of awe. She had not died. She had evolved into the single greatest asset he could ever have imagined!

Before he could even ask about the holographic display in the corner of his vision, her voice echoed again, her words a cascade of clear, concise information.

|The display you are seeing is your new [Existential Command Interface]. It is a real-time, summarized yet detailed status panel of your entire being.|

|The swirling, crimson-blue circle is the [Heart Globe]. It displays the current state and integrity of your Heart of Tyranny.|

|Above it, your name and primary distinctions. Below it, your real-time Complexity and Purity.|

|The compass indicates your orientation relative to significant existential events or marked targets. The timers display all active cooldowns. The status bars are a network, tracking the health of your Shore, your Legion, your Principles, and all other major systems.|

|It is designed for maximum efficiency at a single glance.|

And then, the final, devastating piece of information.

|After the reboot of your existence, all residual Everythings from the Lodestone, the full force of the Corruption, and the sacrificed essences of Ruination, the Infiniverse, and the Tyrannical Sovereign were automatically converted and fed into your Complexity and Purity.|

|You currently stand at 53 Quadrillion in pure Complexity and Purity.|

The number was not a number. It was a detonation. Noah’s eyes pulsed with a light so bright it seemed to illuminate the entire, endless blue sea. The display in the corner of his vision enlarged at his silent command, a glorious, full status sheet unfurling before him.

He looked at it, at the impossible numbers, at the litany of his achievements, and he felt a profound, cold sense of readiness!
