Chapter 5150: Calamity! I
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Noah opened his eyes.Time resumed for him, and the frozen posture of his surroundings released into motion. Naldine drifting on his left. Emotive floating on his right with her hair still cycling through the silvers and whites of her last expression.
Midas hovering fat and golden and devoted above his shoulder!
The ruined research archipelago stretched around them, the bodies he had dissected reduced to nothing, the floating tables dissolved back into ambient Infinity.
He voiced out commandingly.
"Send out THE Quintessential Ego of Superbius V1."
His eyes flashed with multicolored Quintessence Infiniforce, the Sandbox’s sealed package releasing through his network in a coordinated burst.
A heavy, Quintessential brilliance fanned outward across every being who carried his Quintessence Infiniforce within them. The brilliance traveled faster than most measures of travel, crossing gigaparsecs in the space between heartbeats, reaching his people wherever they were scattered across THE Infiniverse and beyond!
His Mother, his Son, Barbatos, Amser, Sigrid, Ul’moreth...even Alexsnder and THE Great Usurper!
The Upgrade arrived at every one of them simultaneously, a discrete weaving of engineered Superbius-tier Pride presenting itself for acceptance in each of their existences.
The brilliance reached Midas above his shoulder. It reached Naldine on his left.
It did not reach Emotive as she was not bonded to him through Quintessence Infiniforce in the manner his people were. She was a tool, and tools received instructions, not upgrades.
Midas accepted immediately, the Abomination’s Greed-saturated foundation thickening further.
Naldine began blinking right away.
Her singularity-dotted eyes turned to Noah, and she looked at him with an expression she was clearly trying to keep composed.
"THE Quintessential Ego of Superbius V1? You have begun trying to amplify an Ego already??"
Her incredulity leaked through her attempted restraint. She was trying not to show surprise as she was failing!
Noah nodded lightly.
His reply came with the tyrannical calm of a being stating something obvious.
"It’s just existential amplification of an Ego. THE Gilded Ones aren’t the only ones who can do this. They had a head start...but the underlying principle isn’t proprietary. Amplify an emotion until the emotion becomes a channel...I just brute forced it with Infinity."
He tilted his head toward her slightly.
"Accept the Engineering. Let’s see the changes."
Nearby, Emotive’s hair burst into a riot of electric pinks and sour yellows as she absorbed the words.
The casual dismissal of Gilded Ones as being merely early and not uniquely capable!
When she heard all this, she genuinely wanted to applaud. She wanted to kneel and applaud at the same time, which was a physical impossibility, but she would have attempted it if she thought it would have been well received!
Naldine took a slow breath.
Her golden streaks caught the ambient light as she centered herself, and then she reached into herself and accepted THE Quintessential Ego of Superbius V1.
The integration was rapid.
The package unfurled inside her existence along the channels her Nascent Hadean foundation had already established. Her innate Pride, which had always run deep in her as an ancient Primordial Architect who had become Hadean, surged upward in intensity!
What had been a refined personal certainty blossomed into a foundational conviction. What had been quiet ancient imperiousness became sovereign conviction. Her sense of self expanded until the shape of who she was filled every corner of her own existence with a brilliance she had not previously known her own identity could carry.
Her Civilization cheered.
She could feel it. Her personal Civilization responded to the amplification of her Pride with something that felt almost like joy. Her weavings aligned themselves more tightly around the new configuration. Her Cambrian Word hummed louder against the inside of her being, ready to be spoken with more force than before.
Her conviction sharpened.
Her confidence elevated to a level she had never experienced. The certainty of her own worth, of her own standing, of her fitness for any engagement she might face, all of it climbed into a register where doubt became structurally difficult to formulate. She knew, with the engineered certainty of her new Superbius-tier Pride, that she was grand.
She knew that if she faced Noah in Dual Cultivation again, she would not lose!
And yet.
A somber awareness settled beneath the surge. Such a high level of Pride, if not carefully monitored, could get one in trouble with how one acted. The temptation toward arrogance in exchanges, toward assuming superiority in circumstances that did not warrant the assumption, toward treating lesser beings with dismissal they might not deserve, all of these risks became newly available to her in ways they had not been before.
Then...the explosion came.
BOOM!
Inside her existence, an eruption of Quintessence Infiniforce bloomed outward through every channel of her being. It was as if Infinity itself had been holding back against her, monitoring how much her existence could carry before it crossed into dangerous territory, and the new Superbius-tier Pride had just expanded those thresholds dramatically. The Infinity she could safely hold increased. The channels through which she could express it widened. Her Infinity thickened into something denser, more cohesive, more structured!
She was granted Bounded Uncountable Infinity from the seas of Quintessence Infiniforce flowing within her!
Even denser waves of golden Observable Force poured into her alongside the Infinity, filling her Hadean bones and organs with a saturation.
Her radiant white hair, with its rivers of gold, brightened. Her singularity-dotted eyes shone brighter. Her posture straightened, subtly, involuntarily. She floated prouder than before. She floated grander!
The ancient imperious beauty she had always carried took on a new dimension, the sovereign certainty of her amplified Pride visibly adjusting every line of how she held herself.
Noah watched her transformation with calm evaluation.
His thoughts moved through the observations steadily. The first deployment of his Sandbox framework had landed cleanly. The Upgrade had integrated without conflict as the power gain was substantial.
And the subjective experience, judging by Naldine’s visible composure adjustments, matched the projected benefits.
Her aura now approached Midas-level density, and she sat a single breath away from the Ediacaran Tier of THE Proterozoic Scale.
A single step.
Not yet across, but close enough that a minor push would bring her over.
|Upgrade Integration Confirmed: Naldine Manthon.|
|Package: THE Quintessential Ego of Superbius V1.|
|Current Configuration: Nascent Hadean Lifeform with engineered Ego of Superbius integrated.|
|Infinity Capacity: Bounded Uncountable Infinity achieved.|
|Observable Force Saturation: Increased by approximately 340%.|
|Current Power: Approaching parity with Midas of Endless Appetite.|
|Current Scale: THE Proterozoic Scale - Calymmian Tier, verging on Ediacaran. A single step away from Ediacaran promotion, which may occur naturally.|
Noah looked at her and nodded.

Nearby, Emotive was quietly losing her mind.
She had been watching the transformation with every sense she had, and what she had just witnessed through her emotional perception was something that made every flavor of Gilded-engineered Ego she had tasted earlier on the research archipelago feel like an amateur rendition of the same idea!
The expanded emotion of Pride inside Naldine, the Ego of Superbius her Fixation had just installed, was denser than anything she had ever perceived from an engineered Primordial Architect. The engineering was cleaner. The integration was smoother as if he actuslly gave a damn!
The resulting Ego felt more alive, more responsive, more naturally woven into the recipient’s existence rather than grafted onto it.
Holy shit.
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!
THE Gilded Ones had been doing this for eons. Her Fixation had done it better on his first attempt!
The sheer disrespect to the methodology of beings who had considered themselves masters of this practice!
As this happened...her own power exploded.
She could feel it happening inside her without having consciously reached for it. The intensity of the Ego of Superbius now blazing inside Naldine was, for Emotive, a feast. Her silent siphoning methodology drank from the intensity of the newly amplified emotion without effort, pulled the richness of Naldine’s enhanced Pride through the ambient emotional field, and fed the pull directly into her own cultivation!
---
At this time, Noah’s attention shifted slightly.
He had been watching Emotive at the periphery of his awareness during Naldine’s integration, and something faint had registered in his perception. He focused more closely on it.
The faint thing was the causality around Emotive’s existence, subtly reorganizing itself as Naldine grew stronger. The causal weight of Emotive’s presence in the broader substrate was increasing, incrementally, in time with the emotional surge coming from Naldine.
Huh.
She was gaining from the amplification of emotions even from what occurred with Naldine?
That was interesting. That was actually very interesting!
A being who grew stronger passively from the emotional currents of those around her. A being who could be fed indirectly through the intensity of every other being in her vicinity. If he ever granted her Quintessence Infiniforce, just what would occur?
Noah drifted toward her.
Emotive’s attention snapped to him immediately as he approached. Her hair cycled through blues and deep reverent golds, her body visibly tightening.
He reached her.
He took his hand and placed it on the side of her head, his palm covering her entire cheek and much of her face, his fingers sliding into her cycling hair as he gripped the shape of her skull with the casual ownership of someone handling an instrument!
He lifted her slightly as her feet left the ground beneath them. Her golden eyes widened.
His voice came calm and close to her.
"Do you know what I just did?"
He tilted her head slightly in his grip as he continued.
"I took the Ego of Pride inside Naldine and amplified it. All of this, I did in a span of seconds."
His fingers tightened slightly against her cheek.
"Now. Consider what would happen if I did such a thing for you. For a being whose entire existence is already oriented around emotions. Whose foundation is emotion itself. Whose cultivation feeds passively on the emotional surges of others in her vicinity. If I engineered an amplified Ego into your foundation, the result might be even more astounding than what I just did for Naldine."
He held her eye as he let the thought settle between them.
"Can you imagine it? My engineering of emotion, applied to you specifically. The amplification that would result. The power you would reach..."
He paused.
"But...is a tool deserving of that?"
BOOM!
Emotive’s body shuddered!
Her eyes widened further. Her hair exploded through colors she did not have names for. Multicolored light radiated from her skin, from her eyes, from the ends of her hair, every surface of her briefly saturated with the spillover of an emotional surge too large for her existence to fully contain.
Noah let go of her.
She fell down into the ground beneath them, heaving with brilliant manic emotions, her body trembling as the impact of what he had just said to her rippled through every layer of her being. Her eyes radiated multicolored light. Her chest rose and fell rapidly!
BOOM!
Her body shone luminously.
Her bones and organs fully lit up with Proterozoic light, the entire skeletal and visceral architecture of her form blazing gold through her skin as the surge of emotion drove her cultivation forward by leaps that should have taken her days!
The power she radiated now neared someone like Octavius.
Noah looked at her shining figure and evaluated what a monster she could become if he actually filled her with Quintessence Infiniforce and amplified her emotions directly.
But for now, she was just a tool. A tool he would keep using!
He turned toward Naldine.
"Take Midas. Begin hunting the targeted Primordial Architects. Work through Emotive’s list efficiently."
Naldine inclined her head once. The new Pride flickered through her posture as she accepted the instruction.
Noah turned back to Emotive.
"You, with me."
...!
Emotive rose brilliantly from the multicolored sea, her body still glowing with the residual light of her surge, her eyes still radiating the colors of her overwhelmed emotion.
Her voice came out fervent and obedient and thrilled.
"Yes, sir!"
