I Can Assimilate Everything Chapter 713: Glorious! II

Mansa Nguna observed as her very being began to disintegrate into streams of Observable Force.

The transformation commenced at her extremities, her fingers and the edges of her golden hair first dissolving into golden currents. These streams flowed inexorably towards Achilles, much like water seeking the lowest point of a terrain. The process then advanced inwards, consuming her arms, shoulders, and the elegant design of her white-gold coat, all merging into the same golden torrent. This current carried everything she had amassed over eons of existence towards a Bounded Lifeform, one who should have been utterly incapable of initiating such a process against someone of her caliber.

She was profoundly shaken, in ways that far surpassed the physical dissolution engulfing her form.

"Who... are you?"

The casual tone of her voice had vanished completely. The comfortable authority of the scientist was replaced by an urgent query, as the sheer reality of her predicament bore down on her awareness with a weight that her eons of experience had never prepared her for.

"How are you achieving this? I am... I am a Gilded One."

Achilles offered no response.

His eyes, a striking mix of purple and gold, remained fixed on the unfolding spectacle. His attention was wholly concentrated, akin to someone meticulously overseeing a critical transformation to ensure its correct completion, tracking every detail of the essence flowing into him.

As the dissolution reached her chest, she shook her head. Her white-gold coat and everything it concealed transformed into golden rivers, joining the already powerful torrent surging towards him.

"I am... a Superbius Gilded One."

Her voice now carried the distinct desperation of someone citing their credentials.

"My demise will undoubtedly prompt an investigation. The hierarchy does not overlook the loss of one of their own. When they trace the events that transpired here, when they comprehend the magnitude of what you have done, you... will soon join me in death."

Her golden eyes locked onto him with an intensity that was entirely devoid of its former languor.

"Gilded Ones are fiercely protective."

Despite her urgent warnings, Achilles remained entirely unmoved.

He Assimilated her with accelerated speed.

The flow of golden rivers intensified as the process entered its final stages. Mansa Nguna’s core essence dissolved into the same currents that had already pulled her periphery into his very foundation. Her voice didn't fade by choice, but because the physical mechanisms producing it were transforming into Observable Force, becoming one with the torrent that represented her entire existence.

And then, she was completely Assimilated.

The subsequent prompts arrived with a gravity that rendered all prior notifications he had received insignificant by comparison!

|Assimilation Complete: Mansa Nguna, Superbius Gilded One, Engineer of THE Gilded Laboratory Outpost.|

|Classification: Grandest Lifeform Assimilated. No previous consumption approaches this threshold.|

|Your existence is undergoing breakdown and integration of Gilded Engineering at foundational levels.|

|Transformation Initiated: Neo Gilded Observable Lifeform.|

|A Neo Gilded Observable Organ is forming within your essence and integrating with your Inner Dominion. This Organ will function as the principal mechanism for producing and circulating Observable Force within your foundations, generating authority at rates surpassing your Inner Dominion's prior output and cycling it through your being with an efficiency nearing that of natural Gilded entities.|

|Knowledge of Multiple Lesser Causes has been integrated into your existence. You now possess a fundamental understanding of THE Ordovician Cause and THE Silurian Cause, along with fragments of four additional Lesser Causes whose complete integration will require time to finalize.|

|Eight Pulses of THE Scales have been absorbed from Mansa Nguna’s accumulated cultivation. The current integration depth varies. Full accessibility will emerge as your foundations stabilize around their newly configured structure.|

|Ego Transformation Ongoing: Neo Superbius Ego of Existence.|

|Your Ego of Pride has transcended the amplification Mansa Nguna bestowed and has integrated with the deeper Superbius architecture that underlies Gilded Engineering itself. Your Neo Superbius Ego of Existence surpasses the amplified Pride of standard Gilded Engineering recipients by factors beyond current measurement capabilities. Resistance to THE Gamaidjan of infinity has elevated proportionally.|

|Sovereign Authority of the Amplified has broadened in scope. All beings possessing Superbius Gilded Engineering now fall within your administrative jurisdiction, irrespective of their Scale or distance.|

...!

Minutes turned into an eternity as Achilles underwent his profound metamorphosis. The assimilation of Mansa Nguna's essence permeated his very being, a meticulous integration distinguishing true Assimilation from mere consumption. His Inner Dominion surged outward, a cosmic tide encompassing his Realms. Within this expanse, the newly formed Neo Gilded Observable Organ commenced its vital cycle, unleashing golden torrents that dwarfed the former prowess of his Observable Force generation, rendering his previous rates almost laughably inadequate.

These prior achievements now seemed utterly insignificant.

The Proterozoic transformation permeated every fiber of his existence, from bone to organ. The boundless authority born from the Assimilation compelled this process to its ultimate conclusion, far surpassing the initial stages of his earlier metamorphosis. His skeletal structure, once reminiscent of stellar obsidian forged by the Primordial Architect, reformed into a crystalline, gold-threaded lattice that broadcast its new nature through sheer, undeniable presence. His organs reconfigured themselves around the Neo Gilded Observable Organ, the new heart of his transformed physiology, each diligently rewriting its function to meet the staggering demands of his elevated foundations!

After an immeasurable span, tranquility finally descended.

The incandescent rivers of Observable Force, which had previously surged through the shattered remains of THE Gilded Laboratory Outpost #32, now subsided into serene currents, obediently responding to his will as if they had eternally belonged to him. The Infinity that had coursed through his transformation found its perfect equilibrium within his enhanced Neo Superbius Ego. His amplified Pride held this immense power at a safe distance, granting him access without the overwhelming, drowning sensation that had accompanied his initial encounter with the cerulean river.

Achilles gazed at his hands.

His hair blazed with a white-gold luminescence, an evolution of his Primordial Architect lineage's purple-gold luster into a state where both hues coexisted harmoniously, neither overpowering the other. Each strand seemed to ignite with its own inner light, transcending mere reflection. A radiant, unbound crown of Observable Force floated ethereally around his head, a celestial diadem not resting on his brow but orbiting his transformed self like a natural satellite drawn by an inherent gravitational pull—a formation conjured during the transformation, independent of his conscious intent.

His eyes had undergone the most striking alteration.

Gone were the swirling configurations of purple-gold differentiation and undifferentiation. In their place, pupils resembling stars now blazed with simultaneous gold and blue light. These points of luminescence within his irises hinted at depths extending far beyond the physical confines of his transformed being, possessing the profound quality of one who had witnessed realities unimaginable and irrevocably woven them into the fabric of their perception.

He appeared utterly transcendent.

His very being exuded the aura of a Gilded One. The authority radiating from his transformed existence carried unmistakable signatures, instantly recognizable to any entity capable of discerning Gilded energies. This distinct quality marked him as one who had shattered the limitations governing Bounded Lifeforms, ascending into realms that most beings pursued their entire existence striving for, yet never attained.

Yet, he was not, strictly speaking, a Gilded One.

He was something entirely novel, a phenomenon yet to exist before this precise moment.

A being without a name within the grand architecture of existence.

And somewhere within the ever-expanding expanse of his Inner Dominion, the Neo Gilded Observable Organ throbbed with nascent rhythms that would eventually demand comprehension. Eight Pulses of THE Scales lay dormant, integrated within him, awaiting the day his foundations stabilized sufficiently to begin unraveling the mysteries of his recent assimilation.

He surveyed the void where Mansa Nguna had once stood.

Then, his gaze swept over the desolate space that had housed the laboratory.

Finally, his eyes settled upon the celestial crown of white-gold Observable Force that now circled his head, an unsolicited yet magnificent adornment.

The entirety of it felt... unfathomably glorious!
