The eyes of THE Infiniverse gleamed with interminable glory!
"When every single claim of the Oldest Paradox lies with Master, what exactly is THE Secretive Eon going to do? Collapse the concepts of The First Tongue, Existence, Paradox, and Chaos themselves?" She laughed, a sound without warmth.
"Let her believe she’ll collapse him. Let her work towards that goal. Every Absolute she helps remove is one less obstacle and one more aspect of power for Master to claim."
...!
BOOM!
Ruination nodded slowly, processing.
"That’s a compelling argument for why we should work with her. But we still don’t understand her power."
"No, we don’t."
"She has no claim over the Oldest Paradox of Existence. No connection to it whatsoever. And yet THE Primordial Chaos and THE Living Temporal couldn’t sense her in Ginnungagap." Ruination’s tone remained flat, factual. "She was standing right there, and they had no idea. Master had no idea. That’s not even abnormal. That’s something else entirely."
THE Infiniverse stopped pacing.
"What’s your point?"
"My point is that we’re making a lot of plans based on the assumption that we understand how this will play out. We don’t. We don’t know what gives her that power. We don’t know if she has an Axiom, or multiple Axioms, or something we’ve never encountered. We’re betting Master’s existence on incomplete information."
THE Infiniverse was quiet for a moment.
"You are right."
THE Infiniverse then let out a calm breath. "We’ll have a lot of time and chances with her to learn more. Master can’t directly analyze her with The First Tongue without revealing his intentions, but we can put her as the target in Creative Mode and see what we discover. And once Master uses the Fragments of THE Moirai Threads again, we can analyze her power in there without repercussions."
She straightened, her expression hardening into cold pragmatism.
"As we learn more about how she plans to take down THE Primordial Chaos, we adjust accordingly. For now, we leave that side to Master and focus on preparing forces for Muspelheim."
She began listing assets with the efficiency of a general preparing for war.
"Ra’Zan has attained THE. He’ll be critical alongside Khor, Sigrid, The First Farmer. The others are..." She paused. "Getting there. Slowly. Tor and Anaximander and THE Living Origin can’t be teleported since they’re currently out."
Her gaze sharpened.
"Master’s body that he gave you control over. Focus the teachings on Protos. Being fused with Master as his armor, his Depth has already been raised to THE Surface. Let’s push his weight and immensity higher."
She continued without pause.
"The Way of Hunger has lagged compared to Mana. Focus its Weavings on Primus Inevitabilities. If we’re entering a realm with THE Fundamental and potentially THE Absolute entities, we need an army of THE Primus Inevitabilities. Numbers that actually matter at those scales."
BOOM!
Her eyes shone with cold light.
Ruination nodded.
"Understood. I’ll begin immediately."
"And oh." A note of something that might have been anticipation entered her tone. "We’re making full entrance into Muspelheim right now. I’ll have much more information on its layout soon."
"Assuming, of course, that the information doesn’t include ’there are seventeen Fundamental Depth entities waiting at the entrance to collapse anyone who enters.’"
Far from THE Infiniverse.
Absolutes were always an exception.
