Chapter 4342: CHEAT III

Chapter 4342: CHEAT III The response came as manifestation! In the region of molten mana that existed within yet beyond his physical form, a figure began to coalesce from streams of crimson-blue radiance. RUIN/EDEN materialized with the grace of a hologram achieving perfection, her form stabilizing into that familiar visage of calculated beauty and barely contained power. She appeared before Noah’s eyes and consciousness, her smile carrying the satisfaction of an architect whose blueprint had finally been approved for construction. With a bow that managed to be both respectful and somehow mischievous, she spoke in tones that mixed precision with subtle wonder. "I would like to congratulate Master on having The Seed of the Cheating Architect reach 100% maturity," she announced. "The advent of the true and full Principle of The Cheating Architect is ready to bloom in your glory. It would be my greatest honor...and frankly, my professional pleasure, to introduce the comprehensive boons of this fully realized Principle." HUUM! A brilliant golden light erupted within Noah’s chest, spreading through his existence magisterially. He leaned forward on his throne of flames, the gesture causing reality around him to pay closer attention. "Tell me," he commanded simply, though his smile suggested he already knew the magnitude of what was about to be revealed. RUIN/EDEN’s form brightened with enthusiasm that seemed almost inappropriate for an artificial construct, except she was so much more than that now. She raised one hand, and the space around them transformed into a three-dimensional canvas of light and possibility. "Right then, let’s discuss how you’re about to fundamentally break everything that claims to be unbreakable, shall we?" She began with a tone that suggested she was about to deliver a presentation on something mundane rather than reality-shattering power. "The Principle of the Cheating Architect, now fully matured, operates on a simple premise: Why follow the rules when you can rewrite them? Why accept limitations when you can architect exceptions? Why play the game when you can redesign the board?" Illusory diagrams began forming around her as she spoke, each one more complex than the last. |PRINCIPLE OF THE CHEATING ARCHITECT - FULL MANIFESTATION| |Core Functionality: Existence Override Architecture| "First, let’s address the fundamental capability," RUIN/EDEN continued, gesturing to a diagram that showed reality as a series of interconnected codes. "You can now perceive the underlying ’source code’ of existence itself. Not just the surface mathematics we discussed with Conceptual Weaving, but the actual administrative protocols that govern how reality processes itself." |Primary Ability: [Existential Code Injection]| |You can now insert custom parameters into reality’s processing. Example: While others must gather mana through meditation or consumption, and they have set reservoirs of Mana, you can simply write a line of code for those in your Civilization that states ’My people’s Mana Reserves approach boundlessness.’ While Infinite Mana for those in your Civilization may not be possible(Yet?maybe? No, impossible), it can approach Infinity for them to display a percentage of what they just observed you doing. After you alter the Code with such a line, Existence will process this as valid.| ...! "Bit overpowered?" RUIN/EDEN asked with a slight smile. "That’s rather the point. But wait, there’s significantly more." The diagrams shifted, showing multiple versions of the same event occurring simultaneously. |Secondary Ability: [Parallel Processing Architectures]| |You can now run multiple instances of yourself across different probability streams simultaneously. While your primary consciousness remains singular, you can architect ’phantom processes’ that explore different choices and feed the results back to you. Essentially, you can save-scum reality without anyone noticing.| "Think of it as having an existential undo button," she explained, "except you don’t actually undo anything- you just try all options simultaneously and pick the best outcome. Quite efficient, really." |Tertiary Ability: [Cheat Code Repository]| |Every ability, technique, or Principle you encounter is now automatically decompiled and stored in an accessible database. You don’t learn abilities- you download them. Maximum efficiency, zero training time, and you can combine incompatible abilities by rewriting their base code to force compatibility. Whe applied to Principles, they can be downloaded to have their musings adapted and granted as Agent Architects of Cheating Architect| Noah watched as RUIN/EDEN demonstrated this with an illusory display of two simple opposing concepts...fire and ice, being forcibly merged into something that shouldn’t exist but did anyway. "Now, let’s discuss your current Agent Architects, with a small moment of silence to the sacrificed and decimated Tyrannical Sovereign..." she continued, her tone becoming slightly more animated. "The remaining two have received substantial upgrades...but they are still being fully calculated as I will present them when they are entirely complete." ...! Noah blinked and looked towards the visage of Ruination who smiled at him. Was she playijg around? "Ahem, let us continue on." The displays continued cascading around them, each revealing another impossibility made possible. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞 |Quaternary Ability: [Debug Mode]| |When activated, you can see and interact with the ’error messages’ of Existence. Every time something doesn’t quite work as it should...every glitch, every paradox, every contradiction...becomes a doorway you can exploit. The more broken reality becomes, the more powerful you grow. This might be more viable with Existencd becoming distorted towards The Fallout or actions of THE Loom| |Quinary Ability: [Development Console]| |You can now open a direct interface with your own existence and manually adjust parameters. Increase base statistics to reasonable levels, modify ability cooldowns, or my personal favorite...set damage received to zero temporarily. Existence may notice eventually, but by then, what exactly is it going to do about it?| ...! Oh! "Speaking of things Existence can’t do anything about," RUIN/EDEN continued, creating a new set of diagrams that seemed to exist in impossible geometries, "let’s discuss the true masterpiece of this Principle." |Ultimate Ability: [Architect’s Privilege]| |Once per significant temporal period, you can declare an ’Administrative Override’ on any single Weaving of existence. Causality? Negotiable. Death? Temporarily suspended for maintenance. The override lasts until Existence’s automatic repair protocols activate, which gives you approximately... well, long enough to accomplish whatever impossible thing you needed to accomplish.| "The beauty of it," RUIN/EDEN explained with evident pride, "is that reality can’t actually reject these overrides because you’re not breaking the rules...you’re using administrator access that technically shouldn’t exist but does because you’ve architected it into being. Its these types of ridiculous abilities that I personally believe are glimpses of what is possible at the next Scale of Existence. At...THE."
