I Can Assimilate Everything-Chapter 678: Learn Something New! II

He asked how they could begin as the Singular Cognizance in front of them became momentarily silent.

The golden lotus petals around the platinum singularity stilled entirely, that ancient awareness processing his question with consideration that seemed to stretch across moments far longer than their actual duration. Then THE Watcher began to speak again.

"A Pulse has many requirements that you do not meet."

The voice emerged with gravity that pressed against the golden waters surrounding them.

"The biggest requirement apart from not having the power of THE Second Scale of Existence is the limitation that you cannot even perceive. Our existence is by nature constrained. We are actually only utilizing a percentage of the full utility of our Civilizations and true existence."

The platinum singularity pulsed with each word.

"If there is a one hundred percent capacity, all those on THE First Scale of Existence are living with less than one percent utilization of existence. By nature, that is simply how everyone is. You can change that percentage of utility as you build your power in THE Second Scale of Existence, but you two do not even have the time to do that."

Achilles processed this information with analytical coldness. Less than one percent? Was that right? All of his growth, all of his consumed Absolutes, all of his transformation into a Primordial Architect, and he was still operating at less than one percent of what existence could theoretically offer? What a ridiculous notion!

The gap between Scales was not merely about power. It was about fundamental capacity to perceive and utilize reality itself.

"So I put all my possibilities and ideas onto the requirement that is at the root of all Pulses of The Scales."

THE Watcher’s awareness seemed to focus more intently upon them.

"Every single Pulse originates and calls upon the power of a Cause. THE First Cause is what caused the differentiation and undifferentiation of existence and gave birth to Observable Existence, but for those who truly understand existence, they know that even that Cause had a name."

The golden lotus petals began rotating slowly.

"Even I do not know the name of the Cause that caused the emergence of our Observable Existence. That knowledge is beyond what I have observed across my eons of watching. But I did witness the emergence of a portion of this Cause which was seeking to cause the emergence of Primordial Architects."

A pause that felt weighted with ancient memory.

"And it failed to do so. This stunted Observable Existence never produced the magnificent children that other Existences birthed naturally. But the name of that Cause was THE Primordial Cause."

|Information Received: THE Primordial Cause.|

|Classification: Failed Fundamental Force of Creation.|

|Function: The aspect of THE First Cause responsible for birthing Primordial Architects through the union of differentiation and undifferentiation.|

|Status in Current Observable Existence: Failed emergence due to unknown factors.|

THE Watcher continued without pause.

"So if you seek to utilize the Pulse of THE Primordial Severance, you have to pull from the power of THE Primordial Cause. You have to have seen this Cause. After you see it, you would be able to speak the words required and utilize the somatic movements required to initiate this Pulse."

The platinum singularity dimmed slightly.

"Now, since I cannot take you back in time to when this Cause first emerged, the one possibility to actually have you comprehend this Pulse lies in you utilizing the capability I have observed that allows you to incorporate and integrate things into your existence."

Achilles felt his Heart of a Primordial Architect pulse in response to these words. His Assimilation. THE Watcher had been watching him closely enough to understand what he could do!

"I will put forth my observations of THE Primordial Cause and the methodology of the Pulse of THE Primordial Severance. If you can integrate it into your existence, you may just be able to bypass the many restrictions and be capable of utilizing it in some form."

The golden lotus petals stilled.

"Even if it is a lesser form."

...!

The words were heavy as Achilles nodded. This was their only pathway. Conventional advancement could not close the gap in time. Only something extraordinary could give them a chance against Lamashtu!

Beside him, Rose asked skeptically, her flaming green eyes narrowing with suspicion that had not diminished throughout THE Watcher’s explanation.

"If you know how to utilize this Primordial Severance Pulse, why don’t you make a move against THE Prisoner right now?"

A heavy silence settled across the golden waters of Tian.

The platinum singularity seemed to contract slightly, the golden lotus petals pulling closer to its center as if THE Watcher was experiencing something approaching discomfort.

"I am THE Watcher."

The voice emerged quieter than before.

"My entire existence thrives and grows stronger by watching and inaction. Me moving to communicate with you two, the actions that I am taking right now, are already detrimental to my Way and my existence."

The platinum singularity pulsed with light that seemed almost pained.

"If I take action against Lamashtu in battle, my existence will unravel. The nature of what I am cannot survive direct intervention in the conflicts I observe. I would cease to be THE Watcher and become something else entirely, something that cannot maintain cohesion against the contradiction of its own nature."

|Singular Cognizances cannot act against their fundamental nature without existential consequences.|

|THE Watcher’s current level of intervention already strains the boundaries of observation without action.|

...!

Achilles understood now!

THE Watcher was not refusing to help out of selfishness or cowardice. This being was already pushing against limits that could destroy everything it was simply by speaking to them, simply by offering knowledge instead of merely watching events unfold.

"Now, are you ready?"

THE Watcher’s voice carried urgency that seemed almost alien coming from a being defined by patient observation.

"Integrate the emergence of a Cause and the methodology of the Pulse. Make it part of your existence and let us move before it is too late."

...!
