Chapter 4584: Is A Foundation Ever Complete? II
A foundation was never finished.
This statement alone seemed ridiculous on its surface, but why the hell not?
As they continued to move deeper into this vast shore through forests of impossible scale, Noah looked toward the figure of Ul’moreth with eyes shining with determination.
|I will give what you said a try,| he said with a voice carrying conviction.
Ul’moreth nodded with approval and replied calmly.
|Go ahead, Little Anomaly. I will try not to overwhelm you with too many bundles of information all at once. It is good to put into practice what you learn before the knowledge fades |
The entity shone with obsidian gold light as his vibrant and thick hair pulsed with concentrated authority.
Noah smiled as he closed his eyes while continuing to move forward through the ancient landscape, trusting his enhanced perception to guide his steps.
He thought of the Phoneme of Fire and its activation sequence. But instead of allowing it to manifest externally as he had done before, he would have that terrifying fire actually course within his own existence. He would have The First Tongue bathe and scorch his nerves, synapses, cells, organs, tissues, every single component of his physiological and existential structure.
He did not even take a moment to consider whether he might accidentally burn himself or cause catastrophic internal damage.
He simply proceeded to do it with absolute confidence.
Who the fuck was he to have any hesitation, doubt, or fear about his own capabilities?
HUUM!
The Phoneme began.
Rising frequency. Compression. Accent. Expansion.
He spoke The First Tongue internally with the same structural precision he had used for external manifestation, and immediately felt the response as terrifying blue gold flames ignited within his existence.
These were not normal flames confined to physical space. They were Fire itself at a conceptual level, empowered by multiple foreign fire based Principles that existed throughout Ginnungagap and beyond. Even a Singularity Principle responded faintly to his internal utterance, lending its incomparable weight to the manifestation.
The flames began their journey through his body with systematic precision.
First, they flowed through his cardiovascular system. His heart became a furnace of blue gold fire, each chamber burning with concentrated intensity as the flames coursed through arteries and veins. The blood itself carried Fire through every capillary, delivering the conceptual flame of The First Tongue to every tissue.
Then his respiratory system. Lungs filled with flames that did not consume oxygen but instead burned with the principle of transformation itself. Each alveolus became a tiny inferno, exchanging Fire of The First Tongue with his bloodstream.
His digestive system next. Esophagus, stomach, intestines, all bathed in blue gold flames of The First Tongue that refined rather than destroyed. The organs responsible for processing matter were now processing the concept of Fire itself.
His nervous system lit up like a network of burning pathways. The brain, that magnificent center of consciousness, became illuminated with such intensity that his entire head shone with radiant light visible even through closed eyes. Each neuron fired with flames of The First Tongue instead of electrical impulses! Each synapse transmitted Fire across its gap. The spinal cord became a pillar of blue gold combustion!
As he felt all of this, he had to affirm that truly, Mana did not directly equate to The First Tongue!
The First Tongue and Mana were one and the same, and yet at the same time not as The First Tongue truly felt like Mana...but how it was always meant to be.
It was glorious.
The First Tongue continued to course across him.
His muscular system. Every muscle fiber, from the largest in his legs to the smallest in his eyes, contracted and relaxed with flames flowing through them. The Fire of The First Tongue refined the proteins, elevated the cellular structure, made everything more efficient and capable.
His skeletal system. Bones that formed the framework of his body became infused with Fire of The First Tongue at a fundamental level. Even the bone marrow, where blood cells were produced, burned with blue gold intensity as it created new cells already marked by The First Tongue!
Oh!
His endocrine system. Glands throughout his body released hormones that carried Fire with them, spreading the influence of The First Tongue to every regulatory system.
His lymphatic and immune systems. The very defenders of his body learned to recognize and embody Fire of The First Tongue, integrating the principle into their operation.
Then the flames went deeper, flowing from the largest components toward the microscopic.
Tissues broke down into individual cells. Trillions of cells throughout his body, each one containing its own universe of complexity, became bathed in blue gold flames. Cell membranes, cytoplasm, organelles, the nucleus containing his genetic information, all refined by The First Tongue!
Even deeper. The flames reached the molecular level. Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, all the fundamental molecules of life were touched by The First Tongue and elevated beyond their previous state.
Deeper still. Individual atoms that comprised those molecules felt the passage of The First Tongue. Electrons orbiting nuclei carried the blue gold flames with them. Protons and neutrons at the atomic core resonated with the principle of transformation.
And once the flames of The First Tongue had burned around all cells and atoms throughout his entire body, they flowed toward a final location with purposeful direction.
THE Organ of Civilization.
The surrounding area where his brain was located felt completely aflame as his entire head shone with radiant light that would have been blinding to outside observers. But all the distributed flames throughout his body began flowing systematically toward this single point.
They converged on THE Organ with concentrated intensity.
The flames coursed across the Parenchyma, that functional tissue responsible for processing civilizational complexity. Every component of this extraordinary structure was bathed by The First Tongue and refined to a higher state of existence.
The Desmoterion glowed brilliantly and became reinforced!
The entire Organ became ever so brilliant, shining from within with blue gold radiance as it integrated the principle of Fire into its very foundation.
The Phoneme of Fire, which could scorch a Pre-THE when called out by him, pulsed one final time throughout his entire existence before the flames began to fade gradually.
Noah felt his entire existence operating at a level that could only be described as terrifying and glorious simultaneously. Everything had been switched to overdrive. He felt more alive than he had ever felt before in any previous moment of his existence.
In fire, one truly felt alive!
One needed to burn themselves to really experience what being alive meant!
Well...
He breathed out slowly as he acclimated his mind from the intensely euphoric sensation flooding through him. He may have gone slightly overboard in proclaiming that one needed to burn themselves to feel alive.
BOOM!
His eyes opened as the internal utterance of The First Tongue completed its first full cycle.
His skin gave off a faint blue gold glow as if his entire body had just undergone its first refinement in a master blacksmith’s workshop. His existence felt even more immense, denser, more real than it had been mere moments before.
New prompts materialized before his vision with critical information.
|Your existence, foundation, and very being has begun systematic refinement with the most ancient and true form of Mana.|
|The First Tongue is now being integrated into the fundamental structure of your cultivation.|
|All components of your Civilization are being reinforced and elevated.|
|Walls of Civilization: Structural integrity increased, conceptual density elevated|
|Sovereign Spires of Osmont: Authority output enhanced, range expanded, Your Early Atlas of the Folds, Your Principles...all weavings of your Civilization are being refined.|
|THE Organ of Civilization has entered an Exponential Growth Phase|
|Foundation refinement with The First Tongue has triggered exponential development acceleration.|
|Immensity and weight of Organ foundation has increased dramatically.|
|Previous development metrics no longer accurately represent true capability.|
|RECALIBRATION REQUIRED|
|DEVELOPMENT PERCENTAGE RECALIBRATED|
|Previous Development: 23%|
|Recalibrated Development: 15%|
|NDespite lower percentage, current capabilities exceed what 30% development would have represented prior to foundation refinement.|
|The potential scope of THE Organ of Civilization has expanded dramatically through First Tongue integration. The foundation is now being built to support capabilities far beyond initial projections. What was previously estimated as 100% completion is now recognized as only a fraction of true potential. Current 15% represents a more capable state than previous 30%, but there is exponentially more room for growth.|
|THE Organ of Civilization is no longer being built to standard specifications.|
|THE Organ of Civilization is now being forged to speak existence’s native language.|
|Estimated final capability upon completion: INCALCULABLE|
WAA!
Noah observed these prompts with eyes shining with profound understanding and satisfaction.
He could feel the exuberance of his existence, the way every component of his being was now operating at a fundamentally higher level.
Sure, he would use The First Tongue to continuously refine himself. Sure, his foundation was nowhere near done, would perhaps never be done.
After all, if he began learning more Phonemes and eventually the unexplained Logos of The First Tongue, if he continued to reinforce his already obscene foundation with existence’s native language...
Would he be able to potentially do something as utterly obscene as wielding power equivalent to THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty without even reaching that classification himself?
The thought burned in his mind with the same intensity as the flames that had just refined his body.
He looked toward Ul’moreth with gratitude and hunger for more knowledge mixing in his expression.
The ancient being was watching him with what felt like satisfaction beneath all that obscuring hair.
|You adapt quickly, Little Anomaly,| Ul’moreth said with voice carrying approval. |Most entities require multiple attempts before they can complete even one full internal cycle without error. You did it perfectly on your first try. Perhaps your Way truly does make you compatible with The First Tongue in ways others cannot match.|
They continued walking deeper into the ancient forest as Noah began his second internal utterance of the Phoneme of Fire.
His foundation would never be finished. Not truly. Not ever.
And that was exactly how it should be!
