An entity at THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty.
But her Depth was fractured, compromised, fundamentally weakened.
Noah gazed at the details with calm analytical focus.
At this moment, THE Dead Order finally reacted to his intrusion.
Her body exploded with terrifying power as her eyes burned with glory and grace.
"Do you think it will be the same as last time you came here?! You have no flames of THE Living Elemental to protect you now! You are now fully within my domain, my space of absolute authority! This time you will NOT leave! I thank you for your utter stupidity and hubris to think that after defeating a few Pre-THE entities and metal constructs of Paradox that you would somehow be ready for the power of a genuine THE entity! I thank you for delivering yourself to me!"
As she spoke, her Way erupted with devastating force.
THE Civilizational Authority of Order surged from every direction to surround Noah completely.
White-gold light flooded the space as authority sought to lock him down from all angles.
The veil behind him became utterly covered and sealed to ensure he could not retreat back to Sigrid’s side.
"You are now locked in here with me, and I will take my time with you. Slowly. Methodically. Until there is nothing left."
At such words, THE Civilizational Authority of Order thundered down onto Noah to bind his existence completely.
And yet shockingly, the crushing authority seemed to stop mere inches away from his skin.
As if striking an invisible barrier it could not penetrate.
He raised his hand calmly and formed a single simple stick.
The Goad.
The First Lesson.
THE Potentate’s First Lesson, which had mainly been used to discipline THE entities.
THE Genesis Monarch of Infinite Lexicons’ First Lesson!
Before its authority, what was a THE entity with a fractured Depth?
Noah’s voice emerged with grand certainty that filled the entire space.
"I am not locked in here with you, O Order. You are locked in here with me. And what a terrible place it is for you to be trapped."
The next scene unfolded in glorious slow motion.
The eyes of THE Dead Order opened wide in mounting shock as she witnessed her authority accomplishing absolutely nothing.
And then Noah struck his stick outward.
The movement appeared slow and deliberate, each increment of motion visible and trackable.
Yet paradoxically, the speed exceeded Planck Speed by incomprehensible margins.
The moment he completed the strike, the stick arrived before THE Dead Order’s head. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
It enlarged explosively as it approached.
Time seemed to stretch impossibly as the Goad made contact.
Multiple Logos of The First Tongue flashed brilliantly along the stick’s surface with the impact.
The Phonemes of Beginning, Division, and Ending arranged themselves in declarative structure of Logos that most closely translated to: "What begins whole becomes divided and ends fractured."
The stick smashed into the forehead of THE Dead Order with devastating precision.
Her skin, which should have been inviolable for an entity of her classification, ruptured instantly.
The flesh tore open as bone beneath fractured audibly.
White-gold blood began seeping from the wound as her entire head rocked backward from the force.
Then Noah took a single step forward.
His glorious body adorned in that imperious blue-gold robe moved with fluid grace.
The spinning crown above his head blazed with Fragments of Phonemes as he moved.
He appeared instantly above the split forehead of THE Dead Order.
And with calm deliberation, he sat directly on her head.
His expression remained utterly cold and analytical as both hands reached down.

The bloodied eyes of THE Dead Order showed utter horror and complete disbelief.
In the next moment, Noah truly split the head of THE Dead Order completely.
