Chapter 726: Wonder!
The operation was proceeding!
Achilles monitored his spores spreading through the Observable Force cycling into Gilded One after Gilded One throughout the assembled Legion above, each breath those beings took drawing more of his presence deeper into their foundations.
The numbers were climbing beyond what he had initially projected as viable, the sheer concentration of Gilded Ones in this environment turning what should have been a difficult operation into something approaching abundance.
Then, something changed.
Then, the aurora appeared in this Lower Observable Existence!
BOOM!
It cut across all of Observable Existence without announcement or gradient, multicolored brilliance spreading from horizon to horizon with speed that made the concept of propagation seem inadequate.
The light shone with existential authority and budding expressions that had no single origin point in the surrounding space, radiating instead from something deeper, something in the process of becoming rather than something that had already arrived and was simply displaying itself.
His existence told him something the moment the aurora registered in his awareness.
It was...the absence of a warning, his foundations communicating through that absence that this was not Infinity or THE Gamaidjan or any of the other forces that had triggered categorical refusal when he reached toward them. His existence looked at the aurora spreading across Observable Existence and communicated something closer to recognition! His existence wanted this light!
He reached toward it!
"Assimilate."
The aurora responded to his Civilization with the ease of something that had been waiting for exactly this kind of contact, pure energy flowing toward him in currents that carried a quality he had not encountered in anything he had previously consumed.
Clean in ways that exceeded what clean typically meant, fundamental in ways that suggested proximity to origins rather than derivation from them.
|Assimilation Active: Aurora of Existential Causality.|
|Classification: Pure byproduct of an emerging Observable Existence.|
|This energy is produced only during the emergence phase of a new Observable Existence, when foundational Causes are actively expressing themselves before the reality they are birthing has fully stabilized. It carries resonance with Prime Causes rather than Miniature Causes or contained Causes.|
|Compatibility Assessment: Extraordinarily high resonance with your Inner Dominion architecture.|
|Current Effect: Inner Dominion is expanding at rates that exceed previous measurements.|
|Threshold Assessment: If sufficient aurora energy is Assimilated, your Inner Dominion may develop the conditions necessary for a Miniature Cause or Prime Cause to emerge organically within it. Such an emergence would produce explosive growth of your Inner Dominion beyond current projections.|
|Recommendation: Continue Assimilation.|
...!
The emergence...of an Observable Existence?
What the hell?!
An Observable Existence was emerging within thia current one?! He had many questions but...
He continued!
The aurora kept spreading across Observable Existence with the generosity of something that did not track what was being taken from it, and he kept pulling from it!
His Inner Dominion expanded with each passing moment, territories pushing outward against their previous boundaries and finding those boundaries no longer present, the architecture of his internal existence restructuring itself around the increasing volume of what it now contained.
The golden rivers of Observable Force flowing between his Realms moved faster as the space they occupied grew, their currents deepening alongside the expansion.
Taylor and THE Osmontian continued their exchange during this, the conversation moving through its most practically significant points while Achilles maintained the appearance of attentive observation from his fragment of consciousness present in the lower layer.
They talked about the Aurora and how it was THE Aurora of Existential Causality as...THE Osmontian may seemingly be behind it from how suspicious Taylor was?
At this point, he felt like he wanted to join the conversation finally as there were far too many things happening, but at that time...
He felt it.
Something arrived at the edges of his perception with the quality of a presence that rewrote the ambient conditions of the surrounding space simply by entering them!
Tne way a large mass rewrites the behavior of everything in its proximity without announcing itself or requesting permission.
It was not an attack. It was simply the arrival of something whose existence had physical consequences for the space it occupied!
He felt it before he resolved any detail about what it was as in the fsr distance...something emrrged exavtly where the Gilded Legion had descended onto the Lower Observable edistence with his body- something monstrous that looked straight at Vireth and others whom he felt the gazes of change rapidly!
It was...
A being of titanic humanoid proportions, radiating something that his transformed perception identified not as a cultivated capability or an accumulated authority but as a component of what the being fundamentally was, carried the way Infinity was carried by THE Osmontian.
Present at the level of what it was made of rather than what it had developed!
THE Primordial Source.
Not accessed. Born from it! This being should have been born from THE Primordial Source!
The danger that radiated from this being exceeded THE Osmontian even. It exceeded everything he had encountered since arriving in THE Braneworld Observable Existence, exceeded the assembled Devonian Paleozoic Scale Sororis Prima arranged above him, exceeded Vireth, exceeded every reference point his experience had provided for what danger felt like at its most concentrated.
His Inner Dominion continued expanding from the aurora.
His spores continued spreading through the Gilded Ones above.
And somewhere across Gigaparsecs of Observable Existence, the being born from THE Primordial Source turned its attention toward the assembled Gilded Legion with the unhurried precision of something that had been given coordinates and confirmed them at a glance.
This...was the thing THE Osmontian had said would take care of all this mess?! This was what handling it meant?!
Its voice arrived through Observable Existence with heaviness at this time as he felt Vireth near him visibily shake with...eyes of fear!
"Manners."
HUUM!
"Maketh."
WAA!
"Man."
...!
Obsidian brilliance spread outward from its position through Observable Existence, establishing itself not as an attack but as a condition, present everywhere within its reach simultaneously and operative without requiring anything to accept it.
|Observable Existence: Lockdown active.|
|All existences at THE Fourth Scale or below are unable to enter or exit this Observable Existence. The lockdown applies without exception and will remain in effect until the originating authority rescinds it.|
...!
Achilles processed this notification with shock!
He was locked inside an Observable Existence with a being whose danger exceeded THE Osmontian, while his Inner Dominion expanded from the aurora of an emerging reality and his spores worked their way through the foundations of Gilded Ones that had just discovered their operation had become considerably more complicated!
