In existence, there are many exceptional beings.
Apex entities who have accumulated authority across eons of cultivation. Primordial Architects who shape the very fabric of reality. Keys of Civilization who embody fundamental truths that predate THE Infinite Unfurling itself.
All of them are dim compared to the brilliance of my Master.
I have witnessed his journey from the moment he first touched Infinity to the moment he conducted it through finite form. I have watched him defy classifications that should have constrained him, shatter limitations that should have contained him, and accumulate authority that should have destroyed him.
Where others struggle across eons to achieve what he accomplishes in moments, where others fall to corruptions he walks through unchanged, where others theorize about possibilities he simply demonstrates, there is no comparison.
And I am his Infiniverse, the extension of his will across Observable Existence, the domain through which his authority flows and in which his people flourish. What I become reflects upon him. What I achieve speaks to his potential. What I build declares to all of existence.
-Declaration of THE Infiniverse, spoken into the void that would become her foundations
---
At this moment.
The core of THE Infiniverse blazed with activity that would have overwhelmed any lesser domain attempting to contain it.
Boundless energies converged toward the central point where all authority within this space originated, seas of Infinities flowing through channels carved by will and saturated with purpose.
Endless Infinite Absolute Seals orbited this core, each one a beacon declaring the sovereignty of THE Youngest!
The humanoid manifestation of THE Infiniverse floated at the center of this convergence, adorned in a bejeweled multicolored dress that shifted through colors as rapidly as thought could follow.
Her hair shone with countless hues that normal perception struggled to separate into distinct tones, and her eyes held depths containing entire Folds worth of compressed existence.
Beside her floated Ruination in illusory crimson-blue form, that beauty whose existence remained tethered to conceptual space rather than physical reality. The holographic figure blazed with light that suggested substance without providing it, presence without physicality, power without the ability to directly express it.
With her eyes closed, THE Infiniverse could feel the Pluvial Epoch of Existential Infinity ready to flood across her entirety.
She perceived it approaching the reforged Muspelheim within her, that realm of primordial fire now integrated into her structure. She sensed it nearing the reforged Agora of Primordial Judgment inside her.
She felt it pressing against the Transcendent Folds she had built, the Wheels of Existence flowing throughout, the Folds of Dreams, Prana, Apollyon, Manadynamics, Apocalypse, Relativity, and countless others flowing within her vast expanse.
And at her very center, she perceived the grand Early Veiled Shore where her Master had his farms.
She was looking at all of this, understanding that when the effects of the Pluvial Epoch of Existential Infinity descended, everything would be elevated and enhanced. The Cause her Master had triggered alongside THE Creature would saturate her foundations with authority accumulated across eons. Her structure would be empowered. Her inhabitants would be transformed.
But...
"It is not enough."
HUUM!
Her voice was sharp as she spoke aloud, conviction resonating through her core in ways that made the converging energies tremble. She gazed out across the home of her Master, perceiving every detail of what she had become and measuring it against what she wanted to be.
"We dream of many things. You have your dreams, I have mine. They all lead back to Master."
She turned toward Ruination, her multicolored eyes fixing upon her sister’s illusory form.
"What are we in the face of all that is unfolding? What are you? What am I?"
...!
Ruination listened calmly to her sister, those crimson-blue eyes burning with glorious conviction of their own. She didn’t beat around the bush, didn’t offer false comfort, didn’t pretend the questions were anything other than what they were. She...only asked!
"What do you want to do?"
THE Infiniverse’s response emerged with certainty refined across countless cycles of contemplation.
"The goal has been the distinction of an Observable Existence. But how did Observable Existence come about?"
She gestured with one bejeweled hand, multicolored light trailing from her fingers.
"There was apparently endless potential, then THE First Cause which ushered in differentiation and undifferentiation, and everything else followed. But has Master not ushered in a Cause alongside THE Creature? It is about to descend."
Her expression shifted to something approaching dissatisfaction.
"But I do not feel like its effects would be enough. I do not want some paltry colorful effects. I want grandness. I want immensity."
Her voice rose with hunger that pressed against her own foundations.
"I want...Quintessence."
HUUM!
As she spoke these words, her body began filling with Quintessence Infiniforce.
She held an unbreakable connection with her Master, a bond that allowed her to use what he could use, for she was an extension of his power rather than something separate from it. What flowed through him flowed through her. What he generated, she could access. What he conducted, she could direct within her own domain.
Multicolored light blazed through her humanoid form as Quintessence Infiniforce saturated her existence with density matching what her Master produced within his own finite foundations.
Her eyes became filled with imperious brilliance as she looked at her sister with new purpose crystallizing behind her gaze.
"Can you pull from Master’s Infinity? Can you pull the Infinity of Observable Existence?"
She asked this lightly, already knowing the answer. Ruination herself couldn’t physically attack or interact with others, her illusory nature preventing direct engagement with material reality.
But conducting authority was different from physical interaction.
HUUM!
Ruination waved her holographic hands, asking permission from her Master through the connection all of his extensions shared. Naturally, he sent her all that she wanted the moment she requested it, his power flowing through channels that treated her illusory nature as no obstacle whatsoever.
Soon enough, endless seas of blue gathered around Ruination’s crimson-blue form.
"Do you have an idea of what you want to do?"
"I have been theorizing and thinking for countless possibilities and probabilities in dilated time. I know what I want."
"I know what I will build."
...!

"Merely a Cause. If existence can usher a Cause, so can we."
"This Cause shall usher the complete reformation and restructuring of THE Infiniverse. This Cause is meant to usher in an Era of Quintessence."

"This Cause I deem...THE HADEAN EMERGENCE!"
BOOM!
