Chapter 4604: The First Lesson IV
Inside The Primordial Genesis Arena, lightning continued to fall all around Noah’s position like judgment made manifest.
But gloriously, the crushing immensity and overwhelming weight that should have been forcing him to his knees could no longer be felt pressing against his Existence.
The inscribed Logos of Insulation on his left hand pulsed with steady brilliance as it performed its function flawlessly.
However, the power descending still held a sense of tremendous weight that was being received and processed by the vibrant Logos.
Even though Noah now possessed complete immunity to all lightning-based Sovereignties and Principles, this protection was only fully applicable against THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty entities wielding electrical phenomena.
And even with that immunity functioning perfectly, if one stripped away the specific identity and elemental expression of The Way of Heavenly Lightning from Raijin’s attacks, the very Weavings of power from an entity at THE Surface Depth still held tremendous fundamental weight.
It was like being hit with a hammer that could release lightning. The lightning was nothing crazy, but there was still the weight and physicality of the hammer!
The sheer density of refined Civilizational Authority, the accumulated pressure of a higher Scale of Existence, these elements Noah still had to bear and withstand.
And in the moment that Raijin utilized any forms of attack that were not pure lightning phenomena, Noah would find himself back at square one facing potentially overwhelming force.
But it was still a glorious achievement worth celebrating internally!
The scene was so utterly incredulous that the figure of Raijin Katsuro stood looking at Noah while seemingly at a complete loss for words.
Then his eyes became firm and focused in the next moment as he sensed with absolute clarity the unmistakable aura of a Genesis Principle rotating around Noah’s inscribed hand.
The Principle of Existential Boundary supporting the Logos of Insulation.
Noah was also at this very moment getting accustomed to wielding this new power while simultaneously trying to fully grasp exactly what terrifying capabilities he had called down just from properly arranging words of The First Tongue.
So he did his best to analyze the situation while continuing to actively plan for how to actually take down this overwhelmingly powerful enemy standing before him.
When Noah spoke, his voice carried calm determination.
"No need to express any shock or surprise or even ask how such things are possible. Just wait for me."
Wait for him.
Raijin absolutely did not want to do such a fucking thing as his expression became unfathomably serious with building intent.
Noah kept his gaze fixed on this terrifying being and prepared himself to respond to any incoming attack.
Because at this moment, he was not simply waiting passively.
His mind was actively working at maximum capacity.
He was taking all the gains and insights Ozymandias was continuously making regarding The Way of Existence and increasing proficiency with The First Tongue, then attempting variations of different combinations of Phonemes to form entirely new Logos.
And as he engaged in this linguistic construction, he was also becoming increasingly more perceptive to the structure of his own nurtured and established Principles.
He now felt like he could begin to actually read the underlying Weaving that formed them, the specific Logos composition whether it consisted of a single word or a very complex lengthy expression or even paired words working in grammatical harmony.
He felt like he was extremely close to fully deciphering the linguistic structure of his own Principles.
Of Perpetual Harvest and The Cheating Architect.
And when he finally accomplished that breakthrough, he expected to become capable of modifying the potency and relevancy they held across Existence.
They would no longer remain static Grand or Singularity Principles once he could directly edit their linguistic code.
If he could tweak them the same way he was currently manipulating individual Phonemes, he would witness his Principles ascending to the elevated tier of Genesis Principles through conscious refinement!
But for now, he had more immediate concerns.
His eyes lit up with focused activity as he raised his right hand once more.
The Phoneme of Fire blazed brightly on his fingertip as he had already calculated another viable Logos variation in his mind that seemed entirely feasible to construct.
He began the process of designing it mentally and inscribing it simultaneously onto his body.
Since The First Tongue was the bridge allowing him to stand against THE classification, he had to continue building that bridge relentlessly.
He needed to forge more and more complete words until the linguistic construction was lengthy and sturdy enough for him to stand upon it and look at THE entities without feeling overwhelming trepidation, and he could look up and says...get the fuck down!
His finger moved with practiced precision as he inscribed his second Logos.
This one would provide general defensive capabilities beyond just electrical immunity.
He combined the Phonemes of Earth for foundational stability, Unity for binding his Existence together against fragmenting forces, Order for establishing consistent protective rules, and Ending for terminating incoming attacks before they fully manifested their effects.
The Logos of Fortification took shape on his right forearm, glowing with bronze and gold radiance.
|Logos Successfully Inscribed|
|The Logos of Fortification has been branded onto your right forearm.|
|Effect: Comprehensive defensive enhancement against all forms of attack of THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty|
|Supporting Principles: 8 Grand and Singularity Principles|
|Passive Genesis Support: The Principle of Enduring Foundation|
|Your Existence gains significant resistance to all damage sources of THE Civilizational Authority|
Immediately after completing that inscription, Noah moved to his third Logos without pause.
This one needed to provide offensive capability, the ability to bypass defenses and deal meaningful damage to THE Surface Depth entities.
He combined the Phonemes of Fire for transformative destruction, Division for separating defensive barriers from their targets, Chaos for breaking established patterns of protection, Void for creating spaces where defenses could not exist, and Paradox for allowing attacks to be both resistible and irresistible simultaneously.
The Logos of Penetration manifested on his right palm, blazing with multicolored aggressive light.
|Logos Successfully Inscribed|
|The Logos of Penetration has been branded onto your right palm.|
|Effect: Offensive attacks bypass conventional defenses and resistances of THE Civilizational Authority|
|Supporting Principles: 12 Grand and Singularity Principles|
|Passive Genesis Support: The Principle of Inevitable Violation|
|Your attacks can somewhat, slightly, and meaningfully damage entities at THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty.|
For his fourth and final Logos in this initial construction phase, Noah needed something to help bridge the vast power gap more generally.
He combined the Phonemes of Beginning for initiating what should be impossible, Air for freedom from constraints, Light for clarity of purpose and execution, Space for manipulating the distance between power levels, and Unity for bringing disparate elements together into functional whole.
The Logos of Elevation took form across his chest, shining with radiant white-gold brilliance.
|Logos Successfully Inscribed|
|The Logos of Elevation has been branded onto your chest.|
|Effect: Temporary elevation of your effective power level when facing superior opponents|
|Supporting Principles: 10 Grand and Singularity Principles|
|Passive Genesis Support: The Principle of Aspirational Transcendence|
|The gap between you and THE classification entities is partially bridged during active combat. Partially.|
HUUUM!
Noah now stood with four distinct Logos inscribed across his body, each one pulsing with its own unique radiance and supported by Genesis Principles operating passively.
His left hand glowed with the defensive Insulation against lightning.
His right forearm shone with the general Fortification against all attacks.
His right palm blazed with the offensive Penetration to breach defenses.
His chest radiated with the power-bridging Elevation.
The brilliance surrounding him had intensified dramatically, creating a visual display of linguistic authority that rivaled even THE classification entities.
At this precise moment, his enemy across the vast arena had not been idle.
Raijin Katsuro had been undergoing his own transformation this entire time, his full Sovereignty now put on complete display without any restraint.
His body had grown to nearly twelve feet in height, muscles defined with purple gold lightning coursing through every fiber. His eyes burned with cosmic radiance. The rosaries around his neck floated independently, each bead pulsing with concentrated Genesis Principle authority.
When he spoke, his voice carried genuine respect mixed with self-recrimination.
"I sincerely apologize for treating you like a mere Pre-THE entity. It seems I was actually facing a THE classification entity playing elaborate games with their apparent power level, and I did not take this battle seriously enough from the beginning. That ends now."
BOOM!
The weight of his fully manifested Sovereignty crashed across the arena with devastating intensity, no longer holding anything back!
