The armor did not merely move! It responded to him with majesty. It recognized his will, his authority, his very essence!
It floated behind him, its open chassis aligning perfectly with his back. With a soft, almost inaudible click, it descended, its first point of contact the humming, circular engine of the Keystone Modulator.
|Integration Protocol Initiated. Stand by for neural and existential synchronization, Master.|
|The Omnichalcum Core Modulator is establishing its primary connection with [The Aegis of the Architect]. Think of this as plugging the power cord into the wall.|
WAA!
The moment the two pieces of Omnichalcum touched, a brilliant, blue-gold light erupted from the point of connection.
A wave of pure, harmonious energy washed over Noah’s being. Then, the suit-up began. It was not a slow, clanking process.
It was a symphony of controlled, violent precision. The backplate clamped onto the Modulator, and then, with a series of rapid, percussive clicks that echoed like a blacksmith’s hammer, the rest of the armor flew to him.
The greaves snapped around his legs, the sabatons encasing his feet.
The cuirass wrapped around his torso, the pauldrons locking onto his shoulders with a satisfying, final thud.
The gauntlets slid over his hands, and finally, the sleek, white-gold helmet descended, the golden visor flaring to life for an instant before the entire suit sealed with a soft, pressurized hiss.
|Symbiotic Link established. Neural interface is online. Existential framework is... compatible.|
|All systems are green. Welcome to the driver’s seat, Master.|
HUUM!
He was encased. And for a moment, there was only a profound, absolute silence. Then, a blinding, white-blue brilliance blazed all around him, a light so pure and so potent that it seemed to erase all other colors from existence.
He opened his eyes.
And he saw....
"Ah..."
Glory.
He blinked as he did not so much feel like he was encased in a suit as much as he was being cradled...by existence itself!
As if his body was floating in a sea of stellar cosmic space, with his vision blazing with stellar briliance!
A second, more powerful Existential Trembling bloomed from him, a shockwave of pure, unadulterated power that made the very walls of the laboratory groan.
Elara watched, her crimson eyes shining, her own 500 Quadrillion in complexity allowing her to stand firm in this storm of becoming.
For Noah, the feeling was indescribable. The armor clasped onto his existence, and it felt like he had just grown a new pair of wings, a new set of limbs he had always been missing.
The moment the connection was absolute...
BOOM!
He felt his very existence explode, not in destruction, but in potential. It was as if he had just discovered a second skeleton within himself, a grander, more magnificent framework that his current form was a mere shadow of!
And in that instant, his being was rapidly, violently catalyzed to expand, to elevate, to fill that new, impossible skeleton.
His Heart of Tyranny began to beat faster and faster, a furious, glorious drum against the anvil of his ribs.
