White brilliance surrounded Noah completely.
He could not see THE Creature. He could not see The Primordial Genesis Shore below. He could not see Naldine or Amser or anyone else who had been present at that pivotal moment in time.
There was only endless white light pressing against his awareness from every direction, the aftermath of two fists meeting in collision that should not have occurred.
And prompts began materializing before his vision.
|Miniature Cause Initiated|
|The collision of internally generated Quintessence Infiniforce with externally expressed Existence has triggered a Miniature Cause. This event mimics THE First Cause on localized scale, producing effects that will reshape the region of Observable Existence most saturated with your Infinite authority.|
|Because your weavings are most present in your native era rather than this temporal location, the effects will manifest upon your return to present time. The Miniature Cause has been seeded. Its emergence awaits your arrival.|
...!
Noah’s eyes widened as he processed these initial prompts, but more continued appearing with relentless progression.
|Miniature Cause Effect Classification: The Pluvial Epoch of Existential Infinity|
|Upon return to present era, endless rainfall of Existential Infinity shall descend across all regions where your Infinity has spread. This rainfall will persist for duration equivalent to 1-2 million years of subjective experience, though objective time may compress or expand depending on local temporal conditions.|
|The rainfall carries the combined authority of your Quintessence Infiniforce and THE Creature’s Existence, merged through Miniature Cause into precipitation that reshapes whatever it touches.|
The prompts continued with weight that made his foundations tremble.
|Primary Effects of the Pluvial Epoch:|
|Cleansing Waters: The rainfall of Existential Infinity is fundamentally incompatible with corruption, infection, and unauthorized unity. Any weavings of corrupted proto-matter of THE Living Paradox, THE Primordial Mycelia, or any similar authorities will be dissolved upon contact with these waters. The rainfall will cleanse Observable Existence to your definition and THE Creature’s definition.|
|This cleansing is not selective. Beings whose foundations have been too thoroughly integrated with corruption may be dissolved alongside the corruption itself. The rainfall does not distinguish between host and infection once merger has progressed beyond recoverable thresholds.|
...!
BOOM!
Noah felt the weight of that warning pressing against his awareness.
The prompts continued without pause for his concern.
|Extinction Event: Weaker Civilizations across regions touched by your Infinity will face existential pressure from the Pluvial Epoch. Those whose foundations cannot withstand prolonged exposure to Existential Infinity rainfall will collapse, their weavings dissolved back into undifferentiated potential. Estimated dissolution rate: approximately one-third to one-half of all Civilizations currently operating within affected regions.|
|This is not destruction. This is acceleration of natural selection applied at Civilizational scale. Those too weak to survive the rainfall were too weak to survive the coming conflicts regardless. The Pluvial Epoch merely advances their inevitable conclusion.|
Noah breathed heavily as he absorbed the scope of what he had triggered.
Mass extinction of Civilizations!
Dissolution of beings who could not withstand the pressure. An event that would reshape Observable Existence on scale that rivaled THE Living Paradox if not exceeding what he did!
Oh!
|The vast invisible seas of authority connecting Primordial Realms and Observable regions will experience increased density and altered composition. Lesser authorities will be subsumed. Greater authorities will find themselves competing for space with Existential Infinity that now permeates everything.|
He had not intended to trigger an event that would reshape existence itself upon his return to his native era.
But as he continued processing the implications, his tyrannical nature began asserting itself over his initial shock.
He closed his eyes as he didn’t try to justify anything. He moved past the extinctions.
The evolutionary radiation following the extinction was opportunity. New Civilizations emerging. New paths of advancement opening. New potential for beings who survived to become something greater than they had been before.
The white brilliance around him lessened slightly as his thoughts settled into acceptance.
He began to see where he actually was.
A region of endless white stretched in all directions, but it was not the blinding light of the collision anymore. This was something calmer, something that existed between moments, a space carved out by the Miniature Cause for its participants to occupy.
And floating opposite him, multicolored flames still burning around a form that defied easy observation, was THE Creature.
Those eyes that burned behind impossible colors were looking at him with an expression that his perception could not fully process.
They were alone in this white space.
THE Creature and THE Youngest.
An apex entity who had existed since before time took coherent form, and a young existence who had just accidentally triggered an event that would reshape Observable Existence upon his return.
Noah looked at THE Creature with eyes still blazing from the collision, Quintessence Infiniforce still generating within his finite foundations despite everything that had just occurred!
