In Existence, more often than not, entities believed themselves to be infallible.
They accumulated power and authority and began thinking they would live forever, that nothing could truly threaten what they had built.
Many did not understand the fragility of their own mortality until the moment it was stripped away.
They moved through reality with confidence that bordered on arrogance, certain that their preparations were sufficient and their foundations unshakeable.
Then there were others who understood their own mortality with painful clarity.
Who recognized that things could and did always go wrong, regardless of how careful one was.
These entities prepared for all eventualities and considered all possibilities with paranoid thoroughness.
They did everything they absolutely could and remained as cautious as possible at every moment.
But sometimes, even after such exhaustive preparation, even after accounting for every variable and planning for every contingency, even after being as careful as an entity could possibly be...
Sometimes things just happened anyway.
Shit happened.
That was Existence, and Existence simply was.
No amount of preparation could fully protect against the truly unexpected.
---
Before Noah, shit had truly happened in the most catastrophic way possible.
He gazed into the eyes of this terrifying being holding his hand as nearby, Ul’moreth’s body began trembling violently.
THE Primeval Titan’s hair rose up with explosive power as shockingly, his authority seemed to be surging even within THE Fundamental Depth of Absolute Sovereignty and climbing higher.
His hidden eyes held a devastating mixture of lividity, shock, and profound feelings of betrayal all compressed into a single moment.
But before anything could be done by him, before he could act on the rage and horror flooding through his existence, Noah faced the entity before him.
And uniquely, he didn’t feel any fear.
Even though this was arguably the single most dangerous moment in his entire existence across all his life, he remained utterly calm.
His existence lost all other thoughts except singular focus on survival.
His eyes turned immensely cold and crystalline calm as he looked directly at this being and spoke with a voice carrying absolute conviction.
|You are unfathomably faster and stronger than me in every measurable way. But you are not faster than my own thoughts. You are not faster than my own tongue. You are not faster than The First Tongue itself when spoken from within my existence.|
His words carried building intensity.
|Should you move to do anything hostile to me in the next moment, my thoughts will move instantly. The First Tongue will move. And with it, I will initiate something irreversible that will doom all of Existence to collapse. Not just you or me, but everything.|
BOOM!
His words emerged without any trace of fear! He made a bold claim that he could initiate the doom of all of Existence!
His eyes shone with the brilliance of pure Quintessence, with tyranny and absolute defiance even when facing this apex entity.
This being who continued holding his hand in what was unquestionably the longest and most dangerous handshake in all of Existence. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
And toward Noah’s bold declaration, this entity actually had his purple eyes shine with tremendous brilliance.
He smiled with what seemed like genuine delight as he responded.
|Why would I do anything bad to you? I came here purely because I was curious. And my friend Ul’moreth, pipe down and do not ruin my curiosity with your explosive temper. I’ve already grabbed hold of his existence, and I could do...many things.|
His smile widened.
|Even though you do not truly know me personally, you should understand at least a glimpse of my power from reputation alone. So why don’t we all just relax and have a pleasant conversation? Haha...|
Ul’moreth’s body continued showing surging Weavings of Existence and overwhelming emotion.
The eyes of THE Primordial Chaos shone with unfathomable depth and concentrated power.
|Before THE Primordial Chaos, what are you?|
|Failure to maintain coherent answer will result in existential dissolution|
WAA!
Before THE Primordial Chaos, what was Existence itself, and what was The First Tongue?
