I Can Assimilate Everything-Chapter 663: Half a Heart! II
The Half-Formed Heart of a Primordial Architect instantly reduced in size by half.
Achilles was forced to stand still as he consumed just that portion, his form trembling from the potency flooding into his existence!
The sheer magnitude of what he was integrating exceeded anything he had experienced before. It felt like consuming two Absolute entities simultaneously, their combined weight pressing against foundations that strained to accommodate something far too profound for his current Depth.
BOOM!
His heart literally burst.
The organ that had served as the anchor point exploded within his stellar obsidian chest, flesh and authority unraveling in an instant of agony. But where destruction occurred, something else began to bloom!
A white-gold structure emerged in place of what had been destroyed.
It grew from the ruins of his former heart with brilliance that pulsed through every aspect of his being, weavings of Primordial origin integrating into existence that had never been designed to contain them. The transformation was violent and beautiful and terrifying!
|Critical Assimilation Event|
|The Assimilation of something far too profound has occurred and caused unknown effects across your existence.|
|The weavings of the Primordial Architect Lifeform are being Assimilated into your existence.|
|These weavings are significant enough to alter your physiology entirely.|
|Assessment: The potential exists for you to gain multiple capabilities and weavings that would make you indistinguishable from a Primordial Architect.|
...!
His existence trembled at these words. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The transformation was so terrifying in its scope that he could not control his weavings!
Authority that he had carefully suppressed throughout his traversal of The Existential Lattice erupted outward without restraint, white-gold brilliance mixing with stellar obsidian Chaos in displays that lit up the surrounding crystalline structures.
He knelt as a grand aura radiated from him with force that sent tremors through the corrupted walls.
The distant fighting Absolutes saw him instantly.
Their conflict paused as both turned toward the source of this eruption. The Absolute under THE Prisoner and the massive bipedal Mutated Corrupted Terror looked over with expressions growing heavy as they perceived what was occurring.
Their gazes fixed upon Achilles with weight that promised violence.
In the next instant, he moved to control his existence again. The white-gold transformation continued within him, but he forced his authority back under restraint through will alone. His form steadied despite the chaos erupting through his foundations.
And he declared silently with hunger that refused to be satisfied with half.
Assimilate.
BOOM!
The remaining Half-Formed Heart of a Primordial Architect disappeared.
Its weavings became null, absorbed into his existence with finality that left nothing behind. Where the vibrant white-gold object had floated moments before, there was now only empty space within The Existential Lattice.
The Absolutes sensed it and became stunned and enraged.
Their prize was gone. The treasure they had been fighting over, the resource that could have transformed their Civilizations, had vanished into some unknown interloper who had appeared from nowhere!
They looked toward Achilles who knelt with white-gold light rising from his transforming form, his stellar obsidian features now threaded with brilliance of Primordial origins.
The Absolute under THE Prisoner roared with fury that shook the surrounding crystalline structures.
"What did you do?!"
His burning eyes blazed with rage that transcended simple anger.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
With this roar, he and the Absolute he had been fighting turned toward Achilles simultaneously. Their conflict with each other was forgotten. Their mutual enmity was set aside. They had found a common enemy who had stolen from both of them!
They rushed toward his position with speed that defied measurement, two Absolutes converging upon a single target with intent to destroy.
Oh!
And...!
Everything slowed down.
Well, for Achilles anyways.
The rushing Absolutes that had been converging upon his position with speed defying measurement now seemed barely moving. Their burning eyes and outstretched claws approached through space that had become thick as tar, each moment stretching into eternities that allowed him to perceive changes occurring within his existence.
Achilles sensed profound transformations unfolding through every aspect of his being with this slowness.
The white-gold structure that had bloomed in place of his destroyed heart pulsed with rhythm that resonated through his Inner Dominion. The territories within him vibrated in response, foundations shaking as something fundamental shifted in the nature of what he was.
|Your Way has amplified what you Assimilated and granted you the Heart of a Primordial Architect.|
|This grants your existence the starting point of a terrifying transformation toward a Primordial Architect.|
|Initial boons include capabilities inherent to Primordial Architects born from Differentiation and Undifferentiation.|
|Capability Gained: Undifferentiation Strike - Channel your Civilizations through your Primordial Heart to unleash an attack that undifferentiates targets, returning them to the state before complexity emerged. Effective against all forms of structured existence.|
|Capability Gained: Differentiation Barrier - Manifest defensive weavings that enforce absolute differentiation between yourself and incoming attacks, creating separation so fundamental that harmful forces cannot bridge the gap to reach you.|
|Capability Gained: Primordial Foundation - Your existence is being elevated and expanded in breadth to possess foundations befitting a Primordial Architect. Passive amplification of all capabilities, enhanced integration of consumed authorities, and accelerated advancement across all Depths.|
|Capability Gained: Architect’s Perception - Perceive the underlying structure of differentiation and undifferentiation in all things, allowing you to identify weaknesses, opportunities, and hidden truths that conventional perception cannot access.|
...!
Achilles felt the surge of terrifying power beginning to flow within him with intensity that made his previous advancement seem insignificant!
His Inner Dominion vibrated with force that would have concerned him if he possessed the capacity for concern at this moment. The Blind Depths and Apatheia and the Realm of Assimilation and Chaos and everything he had consumed from Absolutes and Fundamental Depths began expanding rapidly, territories growing to accommodate foundations that now possessed Primordial origins!
His white-gold heart pumped authority through existence that was transforming into something it had never been designed to become. Each beat sent waves of differentiation and undifferentiation through his being, the fundamental forces that had birthed Primordial Architects now residing within the core of what he was!
Oh!
The sensation was overwhelming.
It was like containing an ocean within a vessel that had previously held only drops. Like housing a sun within a body that had known only candlelight. The power demanded expression, demanded release, demanded acknowledgment of what he was becoming!
Time resumed its normal flow.
The Absolutes arrived at his position with fury that had not diminished during his transformation. The one serving THE Prisoner reached him first, claws extended toward his kneeling form with intent to tear him apart for stealing their prize.
Achilles looked up at them with eyes now threaded with white-gold brilliance.
And... he activated Differentiation Barrier!
