Noah frankly had far too many things happening all at once across multiple bodies.
He was monitoring the terrifying process that THE Infiniverse had just started while also having another body in THE Interstices writing Inscriptions. Another body in THE Wastes was stabilizing THE Great Usurper alongside Ains and Skoll.
An illusory consciousness floated with Ul’moreth and THE Primordial Chaos in Alfheimr. And another body now stared at Bazuman, THE Undivided One, in THE Agora of Primordial Judgment as four Strategoi and THE Primordial Paradox stood beside him.
Truly, it was a lot on his plate, and lesser multitaskers would have crumbled under the weight of simultaneous existential crises unfolding across Observable Existence.
But in the midst of all of this...
|Master.|
THE Infiniverse sent him information as her mixing of the corrupted proto-matter with his Infinite Seals of Absolute Tongue made the two intertwine. They now flowed across different parts of existence as a hybrid substance that held both undifferentiation and Infinity within its depths.
In this mixing, there was a pulsing signal that was now being sent. A signal for communication between the Infinities of Noah and the corrupted proto-matter!
It was a unique thing as Noah could feel this signal for communication was paradoxical, with it existing in an undefined state as it had no power or capacity for action. Only communication in the span of an instant. If he accepted this signal, he would likely converse with whatever consciousness sent it within the span of an instant as no time would pass externally.
And this paradoxical signal caused Noah to be immensely curious as he already knew what its origins were.
So even though he was already multitasking on so many things, he designated this as an action that fell in line with what THE Infiniverse was already doing by jumping aboard a terrifying process. She had opened the floodgates, and now he would see what lay on the other side.
So...
He accepted the signal of communication as it was like neuronal signals coming together, as if existential synapses were communicating across the vast distances of Observable Existence!
And...
HUUM!
A part of his consciousness found itself drawn into a flash of singularities, eventually finding itself in a space between spaces that existed outside of normal reality.
Around him flickered seas of corrupted proto-matter and his Infinite Seals of Absolute Tongue swirling amidst each other as they reflected an endless multicolored sky above and a blue-gold sea below. The two substances wove through each other in patterns that spoke of forced coexistence, neither fully merging nor fully separating.
He had an illusory consciousness form here.
And a few meters away was the illusory consciousness of... THE Living Paradox.
Noah looked at the visage of this being that looked exactly like Schrodinger. He remained in that grand beggar-like attire as if he wanted to remember his origins even while wielding power that could reshape Observable Existence. He was looking toward Noah with surprise that seemed genuine.
It felt like such a long time had passed since Noah last talked to this being. He had gone back eons in time and come back, had witnessed THE Prima Indifferentia, had met THE Primordial Paradox in his prime. But in relative time, these events were still approximately within the span of a day since THE Fallout began!
THE Living Paradox definitely seemed surprised as he spoke with a voice that held calm authority.
"Out of all things I accounted for across Observable Existence, I didn’t expect it to be you."
His eyes, which held the weight of accumulated eons, studied Noah with intensity.
"I’ve just come to learn you are somehow involved in the resurgence of my old Master. And now, you’ve managed to jump aboard something I’ve worked eons to make happen."
"I can’t even be mad. You seem to be doing your best across existence and having much better luck than others."
"Tell me, Osmont... what do you know about THE Information Paradox?"
"No. Enlighten me."
HUUM!
"THE Information Paradox...is one of the oldest contradictions in existence. It is, perhaps, the most fundamental paradox there is."
