Chapter 5262: Quintessential Immensity! II |
Defeating a Silurian Paleozoic Ragnar changed things in the way that a door opening changed things. On the other side of it was every other Ragnar in Observable Existence, V55 and V69 and V112 and the rest of them, each one Silurian Paleozoic with Prime Cause integrations and mass-produced architecture and the brutal competence of an entity designed from the beginning to be hard to kill. He could kill them now. He would kill them systematically, consuming each one, adding their Silurian Paleozoic foundations and their Prime Cause residues to everything he was building.
The hunt would continue.
His Infinite Scales had been sitting in a state he privately described as productive flux. Infinitas Architectura... the second demarcation, the construction of THE Hadean Pillar of Infinity and a lot more, had been running alongside Infinitas Causa, the integration of Causes into his existence, and the two tracks had been influencing each other. The Source. THE Primordial Tongue. THE Galdr Source developing in THE Source Lands. All of it was finding positions within the first Infinite Scale that the Scale’s original architecture hadn’t designated for them.
This was fine. The Scales were his. They moved when he moved!
The complication was scalability. The more he compressed into his first Infinite Scale of Existence, the harder it became to produce a version applicable to his followers. He could always strip it down, build a derivative framework that removed the components specific to what he alone was. But nothing regarding what he held could be considered normal, and the derivative would reflect that through how much stripping it required.
He’d address it when the gap demanded addressing.
His Primus Apeiron body was already moving through Observable Existence with the focused intent of a hunt that had finally found its appropriate tier, the Persevere flames burning in continuous one-second stacks as it pursued the scattered Ragnar clones across Transcendent Folds and Dead Wheels of Existence. That body had work to do and was doing it.
A different body appeared in the depths of THE Infiniverse!
---
Boundless rivers of multicolored Infinity moved through it in every direction, the endless seas of the substance rising and falling around the currents in the rhythm of something alive that was learning to breathe.
THE Infiniverse stood at the center of it.
Her manifestation had changed since the last time he’d been here in person.
The bejeweled multicolored dress she wore now carried obsidian bands woven through its fabric, the terminal Infinity he’d been working with in THE Source Lands having found its way into her expression, the domain reflecting what he’d been doing the way domains reflected their architects.
Her eyes were bright on him the moment he appeared, the brightness of knowing already what he’d come to try.
She always knew.
He held out his hand.
She took it.
He paused the Persevere utterances. The continuous flames settling to their most recent elevated baseline, the compound stacks holding in place rather than climbing further.
|THE Infinite Cause is ready for its emergence.|
|A moment of paramount quintessence is approaching.|
|THE Infiniverse shall Persevere.|
