The effect was immediate and magisterial!
Across the Early Veiled Shore, every being who had been meditating, who had been arduously working to forge their own Mana Glyphs through effort and concentration and time, suddenly felt their existence buzz with unfamiliar sensation.
Power.
Not a trickle. Not a stream. A fucking ocean of it, flooding into them from sources they couldn’t identify, filling reservoirs they hadn’t known they possessed.
HUUM!
The Emperor Penguin, who had been struggling to maintain three Mana Glyphs simultaneously, suddenly felt the burden vanish. Its reserves exploded outward, allowing it to forge a fourth, then a fifth, then a sixth with speed that should have been impossible.
Kazuhiko, momentarily holding Erikson’s slipper with practiced ease, gasped as energy cascaded through him in waves that never ended. He began layering Mana Glyphs with complexity he’d only theorized about before, each one snapping into place with perfection that came from unlimited resources!
Adelaide, her snow-blue hair now radiating auroras of pure power, laughed with delight as she felt limitations she’d always accepted as fundamental simply... cease to exist. She could create. She could destroy. She could reshape and rebuild without ever worrying about running dry!
Across the Shore, similar reactions rippled through Noah’s people.
Those who had been taking careful, measured steps in their cultivation suddenly found themselves sprinting.
Those who had accepted their limitations as permanent learned that their Master had decided otherwise!
For the first time, Noah’s people got to experience a semblance of what he always felt.
That infinite wellspring of power that never ran dry, never diminished, never left him wanting!
And even this semblance...this fraction of what Noah himself possessed, was far too grand for words.
Many processed it with shock.
Others simply sat in stunned silence, trying to process the magnitude of the gift they’d been given.
A few, like the Emperor Penguin, immediately began pushing their new limits with enthusiasm that bordered on reckless!
"RAA!"
Noah watched it all with satisfaction.
This...giving power to those who followed him, elevating his people beyond their limitations...was this what building a Civilization meant?
Not conquest. Not domination.
Uplift!
He watched the wonder unfold with majesty before he sighed.
Because he wasn’t done yet. Not even close.
"RUINEDEN," he called out again, his voice carrying renewed purpose. "Activate Parallel Processing Architectures. I want to run multiple probability streams simultaneously."
RUIN/EDEN’s form brightened with something that might have been excitement.
"Yes, Master. This will require more resources. Parallel Processing at the level you’re requesting, running complete phantom processes that explore different choices and feed results back to you, requires 10 Mana Glyphs of the Cheating Architect operating in perfect synchronization."
More prompts cascaded across Noah’s vision.
