What was an Infinite Everything?
It was a heavy question that pressed against his mind with weight that demanded answers. An Absolute Everything could elevate a Half-Step Absolute to full Absolute status if their foundation was heavy enough. It was the pinnacle of Civilizational Authority compressed into a single resource.
But an Infinite Everything?
What could something infinite do that something merely Absolute could not?
He wanted to explore this question, wanted to understand what had changed within him and how he could use it to further his goals. The question burned in his mind!
But it didn’t seem like he would be given the chance to explore and ask.
Because THE Undivided One, Bazuman, who had looked startled for the first time in its existence...
Was no longer startled.
The massive being with countless eyes began to dance with horror-inducing excitement, its form shifting and expanding as if the challenge of prey that could escape had awakened something primal within it. Joy radiated from its crimson eyes. Anticipation leaked from its jagged jaws. For the first time in eons, it had found something interesting.
Something that might actually be fun to hunt.
The many eyes across its form began to glow with concentrated light, and then they differentiated that light into beams of obsidian brilliance that surged toward Noah with speed that exceeded anything he had encountered since arriving in THE Prima Indifferentia.
|Attack Analysis|
|Designation: Rays of Undifferentiated Annihilation|
|These beams carry both Depth and the light of undifferentiation simultaneously|
|Being hit with them is instant annihilation for anything below Absolute|
|Your Infinite nature may provide resistance to the undifferentiation aspect|
|You might survive a blast or two|
|You will not survive sustained bombardment|
|Recommendation: Do not get hit|
...!
The prompts were menacing ones that left no room for optimism or cleverness.
Noah didn’t tarry.
He flared his infinities once more, releasing the blue-gold light that burned within his existence outward into the surrounding proto-matter. The undefined substance responded to his infinity with eagerness that he hadn’t expected, churning and gathering around him as if it wanted to be part of whatever he was becoming.
A storm of proto-matter erupted around his form, denser and more violent than the one that had carried him here. The beams of obsidian light charging toward him struck this storm and became distorted, their trajectories bending as the proto-matter interfered with their ability to maintain definition long enough to hit their target.
Noah silently gave direction to his infinities, and the storm of proto-matter didn’t just emerge but began to move. His existence became a flicker of blue-gold light that shot away from THE Undivided One at speeds that the storms themselves enhanced, carrying him deeper into THE Prima Indifferentia and away from a creature that had never lost prey before and clearly didn’t intend to start now!
Running away was never a bad thing.
Especially when the enemy seeking to collapse you was levels above anything you could currently handle.
Behind him, Bazuman’s screech of excitement echoed across the undefined expanse, and Noah could feel the creature beginning to pursue. Its million eyes tracked his trajectory. Its countless mouths opened in anticipation. Its entire existence oriented itself toward the hunt!
But Noah had something that Bazuman couldn’t undifferentiate.
Surviving alone was arduous enough as it was.
He had to find a solution in a place filled with dangers and opportunities, had to locate THE Primordial Paradox or find his own way back to the Crack of Observable Existence!
