Chapter 4248: Justiciar! II
Noah listened to RUIN/EDEN, and a deep, resonant laugh bubbled up from his chest!
It was the laugh of a king who had just been handed the keys to a kingdom he didn’t even know he was building.
He waved his hand, and the blue, holographic display of his Existential Command Interface bloomed before him, a testament to his new, ordered reality.
The swirling, crimson-blue Heart Globe pulsed with a steady, powerful rhythm. His name and distinctions shone with a light that was both a history and a prophecy.
And below them, the numbers... the numbers that defined his new place in Existence.
He dismissed the interface with a thought, his gaze sweeping across the endless blue sea of his own existence.
He had been rebooted, reforged, reborn. The darkness of the Lodestone’s corruption had been a terrifying, near-fatal ordeal. But The Cheating Architect had done what it was designed to do.
It had used his own death to cheat him into a new, more glorious life.
He thought of the challenges ahead. The looming threat of the Fallout. The machinations of those in the Earliest Folds like THE Living Paradox.
The endless, desperate climb to a power that could defy an ending!
He thought of it all as he...had to get ready!
"We can return now," he said, his voice a calm, resonant note in the endless blue sea of his own mana.
"But before that... there is one last harvest to reap."
His gaze turned inward, to the fifty verdant-gold Glyphs that now adorned his very essence.
"Let’s use all the uses of the Seed Glyphs of Perpetual Harvest for endowments."
The illusory figure of RUIN/EDEN bowed, her expression a perfect, serene mask of analytical focus.
Her voice, a symphony of logic and ruin, echoed in his mind, her words materializing as prompts of profound, strategic clarity.
|Analysis Initiated: Maximizing Endowment Efficiency.|
|Objective: To utilize fifty [Harvest Festival Endowments] to achieve the greatest possible net gain in power for you and your domain, Master.|
|Standard Protocol: Applying all fifty endowments to yourself would yield a significant, but suboptimal, increase in your personal power.|
|Optimized Protocol: A strategic distribution of endowments will create a recursive loop of growth, yielding a far greater total harvest. I have calculated the optimal distribution.|
Noah listened, a faint, appreciative smile on his lips.
|Recommendation:|
| - Phase 1 (Self-Endowment): You, Master, will receive ten endowments. This will provide a somewhat significant boost.|
| - Phase 2 (Asset Endowment): The subjects Malphas and Sigrid (The Resurgence of Order) hold unique existential parameters. Elevating them will unlock disproportionately large benefits for your overall power structure. I recommend five endowments each.|
| - Phase 3 (The Echoing Harvest): The subject Infiniverse is the only other existence under your command currently capable of forging her own Seed Glyphs. By granting her thirty endowments, we will elevate her complexity greatly, and she can immediately forge forty of her own Glyphs. This will, in turn, provide an additional forty endowments for our use.|
|Projected Outcome: This protocol will transform fifty endowments into ninety, a net increase of 80% in potential harvest. It is the most... cheating... approach.|
Noah’s smile widened. Was Ruination being more favorable towards the only one she considered a Sister?
He smiled and said simply. "Proceed."
RUIN/EDEN closed her eyes briefly. In the next instant, the endless blue-gold sea of mana began to surge.
Great, verdant-gold waves, the very essence of Perpetual Harvest, gushed in, a storm of pure, conceptual growth that bathed his suspended form.
The endowments began, not as a barrage, but as a controlled, optimized torrent. With each wave, he felt his very being expand, his power not just increasing, but deepening.
|Harvest Festival Endowment Activated...|
|Complexity Gained: +210 Trillion|
|Purity Gained: +190 Trillion|
|...|
|Harvest Festival Endowment Activated...|
|Complexity Gained: +250 Trillion|
|Purity Gained: +250 Trillion|
|...|
The light of the endowments flowed out, directed by RUIN/EDEN’s flawless logic, to the frozen forms of Sigrid and Malphas back on the Shore, their own auras blazing with a sudden, impossible light.
And then, the bulk of the storm, a river of thirty endowments, flowed into the very heart of the Infiniverse.
As the final wave of his own endowments washed over him, a last set of prompts bloomed in his vision.
|Endowment sequence complete. Your existence has been...modestly upgraded.|
He saw the numbers on the display in the corner of his vision tick over to a new baseline, but it was not too different.
He nodded once, a gesture of profound satisfaction. "Let’s go."
With those words, the endless sea of infinity began to fade, the pocket of timeless contemplation collapsing back into a single, infinitesimal moment.
He was about to return to that instant of corruption in Doorway #9384 of The Loom, to the reaching, desperate hands of Malphas and Khor!
Before the sea fully faded, the crimson-blue figure of RUIN/EDEN dissolved into the small, pulsing cluster of infinity symbols, and she offered one last, critical analysis.
|Warning: Post-Corruption Event Projections.|
|Analysis: The [Corruption of Collapse] you triggered from the Lodestone has likely activated other, unknown mechanisms.|
|Scenario 1 (High Likelihood - 95%): The event has been observed by the entities monitoring the periphery of THE Loom. The Lodestones serve as the final barrier of defense. When breached, their primary function is to unleash a localized collapse to neutralize the threat and seal the breach.|
|Conclusion: The Doorway you are currently in, Master, may not be stable for much longer. It is recommended to evacuate with a certain... alacrity.|
...!
Noah listened, a calm smile on his face as the last of the blue sea vanished.
BOOM!
His eyes snapped open, blazing with a blinding, blue-gold light.
He was back. He was in the gray, dead space of the Doorway, the hands of Khor and Malphas just inches from his own.
They were about to erupt with their full, cataclysmic power to save him, but his voice, now calm and impossibly powerful, cut through their panic.
"It’s okay."
HUUM!
Ahead of him, the Primordial Lodestone, which had held him in its grip, flickered, its corrupting authority gone, its purpose served.
It dissolved into a fine, gray ash!
