Chapter 4350: ERROR II As he looked at them, the interface shifted dramatically, the entries suddenly blazing with verdant-gold light that made the previous ones look dim by comparison. |Entry #7-15: Principle Collection (Source: Elyndra Viltharion, Scion of the First Harvest)| |Classification: Agricultural/Growth/Authority Types| |WARNING: Extreme Complexity Detected| "And now we get to the really impressive acquisition," RUINEDEN said, her voice carrying notes of genuine excitement mixed with professional frustration. "The nine Principles operating in harmony within The First Farmer’s daughter." She gestured, and the interface zoomed in on those entries, revealing complexity that made the previous ones look like children’s toys. |Principle of Eternal Growth| |Decompilation Status: 23% Complete| |Estimated Time to Full Analysis: ???| |Principle of Cyclical Harvest| |Decompilation Status: 31% Complete| |Estimated Time to Full Analysis: ???| |Principle of Fertile Abundance| |Decompilation Status: 28% Complete| |Estimated Time to Full Analysis:???| The list continued, each one showing frustratingly low completion percentages. "Elyndra’s Principles aren’t just powerful individually- they’re architected to function as a unified system. Each one supports and amplifies the others. It is...genuinely brilliant. It should be the handiwork of The First Farmer." She pulled up a diagram showing how the nine Principles interconnected, creating a web of mutual support that resembled less a collection of separate abilities and more a single organism with nine major organs. "The problem," RUINEDEN continued, "is that decompiling them requires understanding not just each Principle individually, but also how they interface with each other. It’s like trying to understand a symphony by analyzing each instrument separately...you miss the composition that makes the whole greater than the sum of parts." Her expression grew more determined. "I’m working on it, Master. The Cheating Architect is throwing substantial processing power at breaking down these architectures. But this isn’t something I can rush without risking corruption of the final product. Unless you can...get close and personal with the Daughter of The First Farmer. When these are ready for you to download..." she smiled, "...you’ll be able to either augment your current Principles with their capabilities or combine them to create new Agent Architects that operate under The Cheating Architect." HUUM! Noah nodded slowly. The Repository was working as intended! It was patient power accumulation. Not immediate, but inevitable. The Cheating Architect was essentially telling him that every being he met, every Principle he observed, would eventually become part of his arsenal. Not through theft or consumption, but through analysis and replication. "Keep working on them," he said finally, his tone carrying approval. Noah’s attention shifted, moving to the next capability he wanted to test. "What about Debug Mode?" he asked, his voice carrying curiosity. "Have we encountered any errors in existence that we can exploit?" RUINEDEN’s expression brightened once more. "Debug Mode is... interesting," she said carefully. "It requires existence to malfunction in detectable ways before we can exploit those malfunctions. So far, we haven’t observed any significant errors in the fabric of reality around us." She paused. "The Dead are functioning as intended- horrifyingly, but without technical errors. The Living Existences we’ve encountered operate within normal parameters. Even the chaos of the Wandering Territories isn’t actually erroneous...it’s just chaotic by design." Her expression grew more thoughtful. "The Living or Dead Existential Armors might potentially be a source of exploitable errors," she continued, her tone speculative. She made a note in the air, her gestures creating persistent text that hung like promises. "I’ll monitor for anomalies and alert you immediately if anything significant appears," she said. "Debug Mode is incredibly powerful when applicable, but it requires the right circumstances." "However," she said, drawing out the word with emphasis that made it clear something important was coming, "there is one possible error I’ve detected. Actually, it’s less ’possible’ and more ’definitely present and significantly impacting your development.’" Noah’s eyes sharpened. "Where?" RUINEDEN’s smile took on ironic qualities. "Within your own existence, Master. Which is actually perfect timing, because I can better explain it if we jump onto the feature of the Development Console as well. Shall we?" ...! Noah felt his interest spike. An error in his own existence? "Utilize the feature of Development Console," he commanded. WAA! The response was spectacular. The space around Noah transformed. The golden sands beneath his feet shifted, becoming a platform of blue-gold energy that pulsed with analytical authority. RUINEDEN’s holographic form expanded, becoming more detailed, more present, as if she was drawing additional processing power from the activated Console. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 "Development Console is now active," she announced, her voice carrying satisfaction at finally being able to demonstrate this capability properly. "Accessing your existential parameters now." An illusory diagram materialized in the air before Noah...a perfect three-dimensional representation of himself, every detail rendered with impossible precision. It wasn’t just his physical form. The diagram showed layers upon layers of existential architecture...his Mana Glyphs arranged in geometric perfection, his Principles glowing like internal suns, his Early Veiled Shore existing as a pocket dimension attached to his core being, his consciousness branching across multiple bodies simultaneously. It was beautiful! Text began appearing around the diagram, displaying his current parameters with clinical precision. |DEVELOPMENT CONSOLE - EXISTENTIAL PARAMETERS| |NAME: Noah Osmont| |CLASSIFICATION: The Early Creature (Authenticity: 127% - Exceeds baseline parameters)| |COMPLEXITY: (3.89 Quintillion)| |PURITY: (3.89 Quintillion)| |ACTIVE MANA GLYPHS OF THE CHEATING ARCHITECT: 78 Total| |—Dedicated to Existence Code Injection: 5| |—Dedicated to Parallel Processing: 10| |—Available for General Use: 63| |—Per-Glyph Contribution: 10 Quadrillion Complexity, 10 Quadrillion Purity| |PRINCIPLES:| |—Perpetual Harvest (Maturity: Complete)| |—Cheating Architect (Maturity: Complete)| |—Additional Principle Signatures Detected: [DATA INTEGRATING]| |EARLY VEILED SHORE STATUS: Operational, Expanding| Countless details filled up the screen! Noah studied the readout calmly. The numbers were impressive...nearly 4 Quintillion in both major parameters, with substantial additional power from the Mana Glyphs. He’d come a long way from the Fold Dweller who had started this journey in the Nullvein Gravewake Folds fighting Little Bobby within a Wheel of Existence just...oh, was it days ago? "Hmm..." He wanted to be content at such an accomplishment, but there was still much to be done! And RUINEDEN continued. "Now, let’s look at the more interesting architectural components," she said, and the diagram zoomed inward, focusing on specific areas of Noah’s existence. The view shifted to show structures that resembled impossible castles made of compressed authority and crystallized will. |RESPLENDENT CITADELS OF THE MANA ARCHITECT| |Current Stage: Fourth (Advancing toward Fifth)| |Function: Foundational architecture supporting Way of Existence| |Status: Shining brightly as beacons of cultivated power| |Note: Advancement to Fifth Stage progressing naturally through accumulated effort and understanding| "Your Citadels are advancing beautifully, not much can be said about them currently." RUINEDEN observed. The diagram shifted again, this time focusing on something that made Noah’s attention sharpen immediately. His Heart. Not a mere physical heart...that mundane organ that pumped blood through flesh. This was his Heart of an Early Creature, the core component that defined what he was becoming, the architectural centerpiece that separated genuine Early Creatures from beings merely pretending at that scale of power! The diagram showed it in exquisite detail. Four components were complete, each one blazing with different aspects of authority: |HEART OF AN EARLY CREATURE - CURRENT STATUS| |Component 1: Ventryalis - The Primal Root Atrium of Echoes (COMPLETE)| |Component 2: Oruvian Shardveil – The Arterial Convergence Core (COMPLETE)| |Component 3: Myokelum Primus – The Living Pump of Trembling Flow (COMPLETE)| |Component 4: Ascendran Nodule - The Living Principle of Complexity (COMPLETE)| And forming now, blazing with light that suggested imminent completion: |Component 5: Seraphilic Veinlace - The Living Principle of Purity (FORMING - 34% Complete)| But there was a sixth component, one that should have been forming but wasn’t. A ghostly outline in the diagram, present but inactive, waiting for conditions that hadn’t been met yet! |Component 6: Incarnaut Sanctis - The Early Chamber of Blood (DORMANT - 0% Complete - ERROR DETECTED)| RUINEDEN’s expression grew serious as she gestured to highlight that sixth component. "This is where we have a problem," she said. "Actually, calling it a ’problem’ is underselling it. This is a fundamental architectural error in your development that’s limiting your progression in ways you haven’t noticed yet." WAA!
