Chapter 4430: Derivative I
Chapter 4430: Derivative I
The heavy Symphony continued building in surrounding atmosphere as for the first time in a while, Noah’s smile transformed into actual laughter!
"Haha! Oh man, the delicious irony! An unkillable entity perishing! You may become the first of your kind to actually perish...and at hands of creatures you dismissed as imbecilic, no less!"
...!
His words carried tremendous weight mixing revelation with cruel amusement, and THE Dead Order’s expression of volcanic rage gradually... calmed.
She sat back even more deliberately upon her throne, forcing composure to return through sheer disciplined will.
Her features settled into careful neutrality as she processed everything.
Eventually, a calculated smile appeared across her face.
"This would represent the only unique situation where such outcome might be theoretically possible, wouldn’t it? A singular vulnerability in otherwise absolute defense. But..."
Her smile took on predatory edge.
"What makes you genuinely believe you will be successful? That this siphoning will continue unimpeded until completion? You fundamentally do not comprehend how massive my Civilization truly is...how infinitesimal the amount you’re currently taking represents proportionally."
She gestured toward Sigrid dismissively.
"And her, the one you desecrate Order with through your base physical relationship...she resembles a delicate porcelain container that cannot hold substantial volume at present developmental level. She can easily break, this fragile thing. That would constitute genuine tragedy, wouldn’t it? It would be such a shame."
Her voice intensified.
"You would also require time..moh, so much time that you simply do not possess! Me, Paradox, others... just which will reach you first?"
"THE Living Paradox doesn’t know about her yet, correct? He would have taken immediate action if he possessed such intelligence. What if I simply share this discovery with him? Enemies of enemies are what again? Haha!"
HUUM!
She turned toward Sigrid with deadly smile and an expression mixing disappointment with cold calculation.
"And you. You are systematically siphoning my Civilizational Authority, yet you have barely articulated single word in this entire interaction. Do you not possess your own standing? Your own independent will?"
Her voice became scathing.
"You permit him to speak and act on your behalf for everything. Did he truly reduce you to merely his plaything? A toy existing solely for his desires and amusement? Can you not aspire to become something more as THE Living Order? He will diminish your light systematically. He will make you feel small and worthless as he appropriates all your brilliance and claims it as his own achievement."
...!
Noah remained calm throughout such pointed provocation as behind him, Sigrid smiled with an expression mixing serenity and absolute conviction.
"I have only been made to shine brighter since encountering him. So Order need not concern itself with my wellbeing or autonomy. And he holds my Everything willingly given...you don’t need to worry about that arrangement either."
Her voice carried quiet strength.
"I will speak when I feel genuine need to contribute. Right now, I have been rather occupied with stealing from you. That requires considerable focus, as you might imagine."
...!
Her words emerged with grand simplicity, and THE Dead Order regarded her as if observing absolute fool...someone who couldn’t recognize their own exploitation and diminishment.
Noah looked between both of them as his mind filled with grand possibilities, that devilish smile still present across his features!
After Sigrid’s resolute reply affirming her choices and autonomy, THE Dead Order shook her head with an expression holding even greater disappointment...as if she was witnessing children playing with forces they fundamentally could not comprehend.
She maintained her regal bearing while speaking with a voice mixing condescension and genuine warning.
"You two truly do not even understand what you have inadvertently touched. That little Symphony of Existence you just manifested? You likely don’t even comprehend what that phenomenon actually represents."
Her voice took on lecturing quality.
"When one’s existence becomes unique enough to affect all surrounding reality in supportive resonance...when your Way aligns so perfectly with fundamental principles that Existence itself acknowledges your authority, manifestations occur across spectrum of intensity."
She gestured.
"At the weakest threshold, existence performs modest buzzing and trembling...barely perceptible recognition. Slightly above that level, rhythmic sounds emerge as surrounding reality resonates with your cause, your Way of Existence harmonizing with Existence."
Her eyes gleamed!
"Those who are truly strong, however..."
At this moment, around her white throne, existence itself trembled with far greater intensity than what Noah had inadvertently triggered!
A glorious Symphony of Order began playing with full orchestral magnificence!
It was not scattered drums but complete arrangement!
And beyond the instrumental grandeur, a chorus began echoing in the surroundings on her side of The Veil...voices that seemed to emerge from reality itself rather than specific singers!
"ORDER! SUPREMACY! ORDER IS SUPREMACY!"
HUUM!
The proclamation repeated with building intensity, each iteration reinforcing the others until the conceptual space around THE Dead Order vibrated with absolute conviction.
...!
Existence itself resonated comprehensively with her Way as she demonstrated capability to initiate a full Symphony and accompanying chorus at her mere beck and call...and not accidentally triggered but deliberately commanded!
Oh!
Noah observed this display with eyes shining with analytical focus.
THE Dead Order stared back at him with an expression mixing pity and stern warning.
"You two possess no genuine comprehension of just what grandeur exists within Existence’s infinite expanse. You simply do not know what you’re attempting to challenge. Keep pursuing your current course of action..."
Her voice dropped with weight of absolute certainty.
"And eventually I will be forced to deploy weapons that I did not intend to utilize until after The Fallout. Resources I have been carefully preserving for final confrontation. A weapon like... A Disciple of THE Creature."
BOOM!
A Disciple...of THE Creature?
Noah’s expression flickered with genuine surprise at this revelation.
This was one of the few indications that THE Creature possessed organized followers like others, if one did not count all Early Creatures as his followers!
THE Dead Order continued.
"THE Primordial Civilization of Existence was the strongest framework, naturally. Even though THE Creature maintained remarkably laid-back demeanor, he still cultivated members of his Civilization. His Disciples...select few entities that held interminable power positioned just below THE Living Existences themselves in hierarchy."
Her smile took on dangerous edge.
"I know precisely where such beings are currently suppressed. Just like THE Living Paradox... you provoke me sufficiently, irritate me beyond tolerance threshold, and I may expend my considerable accumulated authority to liberate one of THE Creature’s Disciples and direct them against you specifically."
....!
