In the region burning with obsidian flames, the tension had reached a breaking point where the next moments would determine everything.
Noah did not look back to THE Fundamental Depth Muspeli Lifeforms behind him as they sent him unique waves of Mana to communicate, their messages carried on frequencies that only those attuned to The First Tongue could perceive and understand.
The strongest one here was Surtra, THE Esteemed Whisperer.
|The Muspeli Lifeforms are here to stand beside The One Who Laid The Claim.|
Her voice resonated through the Mana itself, warm and fierce and absolutely certain.
|You have the backing of our Ways as we follow The First Tongue. We realize this is a bit abrupt and would have ideally enjoyed things playing out differently, with proper introductions and ceremonies befitting such a momentous occasion, but existence is never so simple. The enemy is here and so are we. We are here for you to command.|
...!
The foremost Muspeli Lifeform who had been keeping THE Living Spirit at bay while Noah harvested the forces below spoke such words with the calm certainty of someone who had waited eons for exactly this moment!
Noah smiled, his gaze still locked on the enemy above whose countless gray eyes watched this development with cold calculation.
|Two Fundamental Depth Muspeli Lifeforms have officially backed The First Tongue and aligned their Ways with yours.|
|Boundless Infinite Potential is being harvested from this alliance. Their accumulated authority, their eons of dedication to The First Tongue, their willingness to stand beside you in battle against a Half-Step Absolute entity, all of it flows into your foundation as recognition of what it means to have laid claim to The First Tongue.|
...!
Noah glanced at this prompt sharply and nodded with appreciation that he didn’t have time to properly express, acknowledging the weight of what these Muspeli Lifeforms were offering him even as his mind remained focused on the threat that loomed above with a Fragment of a Paradoxical Axiom manifesting in his grasp.
He didn’t have time to get to know these powerful Muspeli Lifeforms behind him, didn’t have time to learn their histories or understand their Ways.
But there could be time for introductions later.
They just needed to survive an encounter with a ridiculously powerful enemy first!
And to do so...
"We shall have others join us as well."
HUUUUM!
He said these words calmly as from afar, the radiant blue-gold Monolith that served as the gateway between Muspelheim and his domain shone with brilliance!
From it, the figure of THE Infiniverse herself appeared in humanoid form, her manifestation carrying the weight of an entire realm compressed into a singular presence that demanded acknowledgment from reality itsel!
She was adorned in bejeweled multicolored battle wrappings that seemed woven from the fabric of countless absorbed territories, gems of every hue imaginable studding armor that shifted between states of matter as if unable to decide what it wanted to be. Her features were sharp and imperious, and her gaze as she stared toward THE Living Spirit was cold enough to make the obsidian flames around her seem warm by comparison.
Behind her, multiple THE entities emerged from the Monolith.
Khor came first, her small form burning with the hunger.
Sigrid followed, alongside Ra’Zan who emerged with his bony skull staff clutched in skeletal fingers. Phonemes danced around his decrepit form, weaving patterns that spoke of endings that could not be avoided and decay that could not be stopped!
Riya, Titano, The First Farmer, Henry, Malphas, and Moiraine followed in succession, each of them burning with a light of a Depth that had been elevated and enhanced by their connection to Noah’s Way!
The First Tongue surrounded them all.
Noah glanced at them from afar as they spread out across the burning skies of Muspelheim.
"Stay on the periphery and impose your Way from a distance."
His voice carried across the battlefield with authority that brooked no argument, the command of someone who understood both the capabilities and limitations of his forces.
"The enemy this time is a powerful fucker, and direct engagement will get you killed. Fight! Fight! FIGHT!"
BOOM!
Similar to Noah, her Depth could not be categorized by normal means.


Beside the embattled legend, Gal’Thûrak was scared shitless.
