Chapter 5190: Choices! II

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The thought was an odd one to have as he paused in the silence of the transitional domain, and he asked himself whether he was developing some negative tendencies based on the Egos he was currently amplifying or if he was simply discovering a more honest method of existence.

And he had many skills, abilities, Principles that he utilized for their current stages as after he exceeded them, he didn’t use them much as he didn’t feel the need to.

But his hands and feet...he would always have his his hands and feet to smash things!

There was a profound and logical catharsis that emerged from physical combat that detached skills and grand weavings could never replicate, for skills was essentially a manipulation of the code of reality while a physical strike was a direct confrontation of essence against essence.

When one utilizes their hands and legs to break an enemy, there is no filter of interpretation and no distance of causality; there is only the wet sound of resistance and the grinding vibration of bone meeting authority that provides an absolute confirmation of one’s own superiority.

Frankly, it just felt good! He was not developing any negative tendancies or anything like that.

In the weavings of existence where every victory was bought with the blood of the Bounded, Noah found that putting the terrifying weight of his Cause and the density of his Infinity into his fists allowed him to experience the brutality of his enemies as a tangible substance that he could physically dismantle and crush into the dirt.

As he remained lost in these thoughts, he stood over the body of Custos Rani in the space she had enacted, her figure floating flat on her back with her skin and muscles pulled back in a clinical, surgical display that revealed the glowing pink-gold light of her internal components!

He observed the Gilded bones and the iridescent organs in detail, watching how the gold and silver-etched marrow and the pulsing vessels of the Luxuria designation operated with a structural complexity that surpassed anything he had seen in the lower domains.

His hands moved to analyze the makeup of her existence with the detached focus of an architect examining the blueprints of a rival’s fortress, and he nodded shortly after as he recognized the similarities between her anatomy and the components he had seen from the gift of THE Creature.

"About the same as the components I saw from the gift of THE Creature, though the resonance of the Luxuria heart is a touch more... frenetic," he said calmly, his voice vibrating with the cold authority of his Absolute Superbius Ego.

"Alright, close up, Little Rani."

As he issued the command, he closed his eyes to check on his Hadean Organ of Civilization, projecting his consciousness into the lightless and immense reaches of THE Absolute Forge of Infinity where he kept his Nearu Absolute Infinity compressed.

Within this internal workshop, he observed the fourteen massive illusory versions of himself that stood like silent sentinels of his potential, noting that while Superbius and Humilitas were already brightly lit, a third manifestation was now beginning to ignite with a shimmering, iridescent pink-gold flame.

Beside THE Absolute Amaranthine Heart of Emotive, the woman herself was moving with a manic curiosity, her eyes wide as she watched the new Ego stabilize and solidify within the forge’s architecture.

Noah appeared in front of the massive manifestation of THE Absolute Luxuria Ego of Infinity, and he looked upon the figure with an appreciative, tyrannical eye, for it was a being of shifting, crystalline skin and flowing robes of liquid starlight that seemed to pull at the very fabric of the surrounding space.

The manifestation carried a beauty that was both breathtaking and horrifying, its features possessing a predatory grace that suggested a hunger that could never be satiated regardless of how much of reality it consumed.

As he established the connection, comprehensive prompts began to bloom within his awareness, detailing the terrifying capabilities of the third completed Ego with a clinical precision that made his eyes shine with a brilliant, dark light.

|THE Absolute Luxuria Ego of Infinity has been successfully integrated into THE Absolute Forge.|

|Desire Consumption:

You possess the capability to consume the desires of those around you, converting their wants and their longings into your own internal capacity for power. Every flicker of lust, ambition, and craving within your proximity flows into you as a tangible substance, allowing you to grow stronger the more your enemies desire their own survival or their own goals.|

|The Pleasure Cascade: You can induce waves of ecstatic pleasure in your targets, overwhelming their processing capacity with a sensory intensity that exceeds the structural limits of their civilization. Affected beings collapse into helpless states of total surrender, and prolonged exposure ensures the dissolution of their foundations as their existences cannot maintain coherence under the weight of continuous, engineered pleasure.|

|Quintessential Indulgence: Those without a sufficiently dense Ego find themselves unable to resist the beck and call of your presence, for your very existence broadcasts a passive radiation that makes them want nothing more than your approval. When focused, this ability pits the full will of the target against your own, forcing them to find fulfillment only in the service of your desires.|

|Pillow Talk: The very weavings of existence crave your satisfaction above all else, causing secrets, knowledge, and forbidden information to naturally flow toward you as if Existence itself were confessing its truths. Information that aligns with your current objectives will stream into your awareness without the need for active interrogation, for reality itself wants you to be satisfied.|

|THE Desidero Singularity: You can collapse the intent and the direction of all external attacks into a singular point within your own existence, transforming the ’want’ to harm you into the ’want’ to fuel you. Any strike backed by the desire for your destruction is drawn into this singularity and neutralized, its energy being added to your reserves as a tribute to your Absolute standing.|

|THE Apotheosis of the Wanton: You can rewrite the local laws of causality based entirely on your own whims and wants, making your desire the primary axiom of the region. If you want a target to unmake themselves, the very rules of their biology will begin to align with that desire, forcing their existence to struggle against its own foundational instinct for survival in favor of satisfying your whim.|

...!

Noah’s eyes shone with a terrifying brilliance as he looked at the capabilities of Luxuria.

"Why...are there so many?" he murmured to the void of the forge, his voice carrying a dry, pragmatic amusement that echoed off the iridescent walls.

Because he was just thinking about how less abilities and skills were better for him, and yet even more unfurled!

The one positive was multiple of them being passive if he took on the transformation of Luxuria!
