I Can Assimilate Everything-Chapter 618: Peaceful Advancement III

|You have fully eliminated all Malformed Collapsed Existences within the First Region of The Cavern of Existence.|

|Time Elapsed: 31 hours since entry.|

|You are the first entity in recorded history to clear The Blind Depths entirely rather than simply passing through.|

|Achievement Unlocked: Apex of the Blind|

|Your dominance over this region has been absolute. The Blind Depths recognizes you not merely as predator but as extinction event.|

|Current Status Update|

|Surface Depth Density: Extreme compression approaching theoretical limits of the category.|

|Existential Corruption Resistance: 44%|

|Assimilation Range: 100 miles|

|Predatory Resonance: Maximum efficiency for First Region threats.|

|First Tongue Comprehension: Phoneme of Earth (Complete), Phonemes of Fire, Water, Air, Void (Partial)|

|Note: Your Surface Depth has reached saturation. Further accumulation of Surface Depth authority will provide diminishing returns until you discover the qualitative trigger for Intermediate Depth advancement.|

|Pathway Unlocked|

|The boundary to the Second Region, The Fractured Manifold, is now fully accessible.|

Achilles absorbed this information as the last echoes of the consumed creature settled into his existence. Many Malformed Collapsed Existences, each one adding to a foundation that had grown so dense that the category of Surface Depth strained to contain it.

He looked toward the boundary where The Blind Depths ended and The Fractured Manifold began, where greater challenges and greater rewards awaited someone willing to continue forward.

No mercy had been given.

None had been deserved.

And the next region would receive the same treatment.

—

While he was about to embark even deeper in The Cavern of Existence, his bodies moved with purpose outside of this perilous location.

And right now something that he was managing to accomplish was the promise of elevating the rest of his lineage toward the same level that he had reached. A promise that would have seemed like madness mere days ago but now unfolded as simple reality through the unique nature of his Way.

At this moment, outside of the Primordial Realm known as Tian, across the Shattered Folds, in The Void where no enemy could easily reach, a Protected Domain held the relocated Sea of Thalassara in peaceful isolation.

Achilles was looking at his grandfather and father who were sitting in meditative positions upon crystalline platforms that floated above the blue-gold waters. An influx of invisible waves of Depth continued to flood into their bodies from his own existence, authority transferred through mechanisms that his Way of Assimilation.

He had gained so much from The Cavern of Existence, had accumulated such tremendous weight through the consumption the Malformed Collapsed Existences, that for his Adrastia Emperor Kings Lineage, something others would deem impossible was now becoming commonplace.

After Rose achieved THE Surface Depth through his feeding, his father Adras was next.

Followed by his grandfather, Thalsian.

And at this moment...

BOOM!

The heavy weight of THE Surface Depth flooded out from both of them simultaneously as their existences crossed the threshold that separated insignificance from relevance. The waters of Thalassara trembled beneath the pressure of two new THE entities manifesting their distinction for the first time.

In the distance, other Adrastia Emperor Kings watched the process with shining eyes that held mixture of awe and anticipation. The Sixth Emperor King, the Fifth, the Fourth, and all those who had been resurrected from death by Achilles’s impossible temporal manipulation, they observed their descendants achieving what they themselves would soon be granted.

Adras rose from his meditative position with presence that pressed against reality in ways his previous existence could never have managed. Verdant radiance surrounded his form as THE Civilizational Authority of Life responded to his claim.

His features, so similar to Achilles’s own, held dignity befitting an Adrastia Emperor King who had ruled before his untimely death, now restored to glory that exceeded anything he had possessed in life.

Beside him, Thalsian stood with weight that made the surrounding space groan in protest. Obsidian luminescence wreathed his ancient form as THE Civilizational Authority of Necrocracy answered his call with authority that THE Corpse Hierophant would have found deeply offensive.

His bearing held eons of accumulated wisdom, patriarch of a lineage that had endured across generations, now elevated to distinction that placed him among the most significant entities in Observable Existence.

They stood vibrantly at THE Level One Scale of Existence, father and grandfather transformed into beings whose mere presence carried weight that could shape reality according to their will.

Achilles looked at them with pride.

"The heavier your Depth, the more you can claim that Civilization as truly yours. There are others who have taken the Civilizations of Life and Necrocracy, beings who have held those Ways for eons and believe themselves to be the rightful embodiments of what those Civilizations represent."

His purple-gold eyes blazed with conviction.

"But so long as you exceed them in your Depth and immensity, you will fully claim and embody what the Civilization stands for. Your authority will supersede theirs through sheer weight of presence." He smiled with an expression that promised upheaval across Observable Existence.

"Beings like THE Corpse Hierophant and THE Slumbering Genesis are in for a very big surprise in the future, when what they believe to be their grand Civilizations are actually being led by others with even heavier Depths than them."

...!

His eyes shone with heavy light of brilliance as his father and grandfather became acclimated to power that would have taken conventional entities eons to develop. They tested their new capabilities with careful movements, Assertions forming on their lips as they discovered what it meant to speak and have reality consider their words worthy of acknowledgment.

And there was still much more to do.

Achilles turned toward the remaining Adrastia Emperor Kings who waited with patience that spoke of ancient dignity. The Sixth through the First, all watching with eyes that understood they would soon receive the same gift.

"What Way resonates with you the most?"

His question hung in the air with weight that demanded serious consideration.

"Light? Fate? The Elemental forces?" He gestured broadly at possibilities that stretched before them. "Pick one, and we shall make our lineage a Lineage of THE Civilizational Scale of Existence."

BOOM!

His eyes shone with ambition and glory that would have seemed like hubris from anyone else but felt like simple inevitability coming from someone who had already accomplished the impossible multiple times over.

The lineage that had almost been destroyed, the bloodline that had been reduced to a single surviving member struggling to protect his family from forces beyond comprehension, would ridiculously be rising to become something unheard of in their Observable Existence.

A family of THE entities. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

A dynasty of Civilizations.

An empire built not through eons of cultivation but through the unique capabilities of one anomaly!
