The Genesis Principle of Undifferentiated Mana operated on a profound but elegantly simple concept.
It declared that at the most fundamental level, before differentiation into distinct forms and identities, all Mana was identical and interchangeable.
Before Mana became fire or water, light or darkness, creation or destruction, it existed in undifferentiated potential.
And beings themselves, at their deepest core, were expressions of that same undifferentiated potential.
Ul’moreth had leveraged this truth to perform an exchange that should have been impossible.
Even with the overwhelming power of THE Primordial Chaos, even with his hand physically clasped around what he thought was Noah, the exchange succeeded.
Because Ul’moreth had burned his Way of Primordial Continuity to temporarily exceed his normal scope of power.
And because Noah represented The First Tongue itself in living form. Represented Mana itself in its purest expression.
Undifferentiated potential made manifest.
So when Ul’moreth invoked THE Genesis Principle of Undifferentiated Mana, declaring that he and Noah were fundamentally identical at the level of pure potential, reality accepted that declaration.
And enacted the exchange regardless of THE Primordial Chaos’s grip.
It was simultaneously the most complex and most simple maneuver imaginable.
Complex in the metaphysical understanding required to execute it.
Simple in the fundamental truth it exploited.
At the exact moment of the exchange, Noah felt an influx of tremendous authority and compressed information flow directly into his existence.
A prompt materialized before his vision.
|Emergency Transmission Received|
|THE Primeval Titan has imparted THE Farewell of Ginnungagap unto your existence|
|This represents the collective accumulated knowledge, treasures, and final gifts of a Primeval Titan|
|Content: Sealed until safe activation conditions are met|
|Warning: Opening prematurely may draw unwanted attention|
Noah felt a radiant obsidian-gold box of concentrated Weavings being pushed deep into his existence for safekeeping.
In the next moment, he heard Ul’moreth’s voice resonating directly in his mind with desperate urgency.
|Please do not let the burning of your teacher be for nothing. Go, and go now. Do not look back. Do not hesitate. Just GO!|
The glorious and terrible scene unfolded in that stretched moment.
THE Primordial Chaos stared directly into the hairy obscured eyes of THE Primeval Titan.
And he actually smiled brilliantly before beginning to laugh with genuine amusement.
As if this entire development was the most entertaining thing he had witnessed in eons.
In this moment where Existence itself seemed to move with painful slowness, Noah felt his entire being buzzing with overwhelming emotion.
His eyes locked onto Ul’moreth, taking in every detail of the being who had taught him so much. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Then his gaze shifted to the figures of THE First Hunger and THE Living Origin rushing desperately forward.
And further behind them, he could see the slowly walking crippled figure of Ains, The fisherman who had sacrificed everything.
He saw all of them clearly.
He gave each one a single final look, burning their images into his memory.
Then he closed his eyes and uttered the words with absolute conviction.
|Temporal Traversal.|
He ended his time in this era, concluding his temporal traversal.
THE Primordial Chaos, Ul’moreth, and all the others started becoming distant and indistinct.
|Haha, I have finally caught you! And you are even using time itself at this very moment. Just where are you returning to, friend? Do you know how much your reckless actions across time can affect Existence? Do you understand the Loops of Time?!|
BOOM!
The figures of THE Primeval Titan and THE Primordial Chaos and all others that had been fading away became actualized and very real again.
