At this moment, his mind buzzed with glory as he cycled everything he had to utter out something that only Fundamental Depth entities could produce.
He formed a Thesis in his mind.
The process was heavy.
It demanded everything he had and more.
His Philologies began to restructure themselves, arranging into patterns that he had only just learned existed. The Phonemes of The First Tongue vibrated at frequencies that pushed against the boundaries of what his current immensity could support. His Logos blazed with blue-gold fire as they prepared to serve as the framework for something that should have been beyond his reach.
The drain on his reserves was immediate and staggering.
But THE Formless Depth held firm.
It told him that this was possible. That the normal rules didn’t apply to him. That if he wanted to speak with the voice of Fundamental Depth, then he would speak with the voice of Fundamental Depth and reality could adjust its expectations accordingly.
He opened his eyes.
Above his head, THE Grimoire of Infinite Lexicons manifested and opened its pages, each one blazing with Phonemes that had never been observed before. The book rotated slowly, its presence announcing that what came next was not mere words but linguistic law being written into existence.
He would write his Thesis in his book!
And Noah spoke.
"I propose that within Muspelheim, only those to whom I grant permission may draw power from The First Tongue."
HUUM!
The words emerged not as sound but as truth seeking validation.
"All others who attempt to access its authority shall find their connection severed, their Phonemes silenced, their foundations denied. This is my Thesis. Let reality examine it and find no flaw."
...!
It was a terrifying Thesis.
And the moment he uttered it, the response was immediate.
Around Noah, lines of Logos and Philologies vibrated with frequencies that made space itself hum in sympathy. From him, a blast of blue-gold light erupted and cascaded across Muspelheim, spreading outward at speeds that defied conventional measurement. The light touched everything, Muspeli Lifeforms and Spirit armies alike, testing and categorizing and implementing.
The demon spirit Gal’Thûrak watched this display with an expression that shifted rapidly.
"Who do you think you are to declare such a thing?!"
His voice thundered with outrage, his chains rattling as they prepared to strike.
And yet before he fully finished his words, he felt a change.
His expression became astonished.
Then shocked.
Then somber.
Then incredulous as he looked toward Noah.
Something fundamental had shifted in his connection to power. Something that had always been there, so constant that he had never noticed it, was suddenly different. Diminished. Restricted.
At the same time, prompts bloomed before Noah with comprehensive detail.
|Thesis Actualization Report|
|Thesis: "Within Muspelheim, only those to whom I grant permission may draw power from The First Tongue."|
|Status: Partially Applied|
|Coverage: Current region of Muspelheim (approximately 0.3% of total realm)|
|Resource Expenditure: Approximately 67% of available immensity was utilized in initial actualization.|
|Achievement: You have taken a true step toward utilizing the power of someone who has laid a claim on an aspect of the Oldest Paradox of Existence. The First Tongue recognizes your authority to regulate its access within your sphere of influence. Congratulations on telling reality that you get to decide who speaks its oldest language.|
|Thesis Effects on Non-Permitted Targets|
|Core Principle: Mana is the authority behind everything. All Principles are composed of Phonemes of The First Tongue. All Ways and Civilizations, regardless of their specialized forms, ultimately draw their power from this primordial source.|
|By severing access to The First Tongue, you have cut non-permitted entities off from the foundation upon which all their power rests.|
|Specific Effects:|
|As per the ancient expression of Thesis, other entities may challenge this proposition through dialectic debate. If successfully challenged, the Thesis collapses entirely.|
