Seated silently at the absolute center of the colossal probability array, Seraphine's multi-dimensional true form, standing twelve million light-years tall, suddenly shuddered with violent intensity.
BOOM!!
The void boiled; tremors rippled incessantly.
Centering on her, a magnificent chaos tide trillions of light-years wide erupted instantly. Carrying a momentum capable of swallowing the boundless heavens, it roared outward, crushing the infinite universe in every direction.
The probability array, spanning tens of quadrillions of light-years, bore the brunt of the impact. In a single heartbeat, it was forcibly detonated by this surge, a tide a hundred million times more vast than a Great Matter Sea and a hundred million times more potent than the Big Bang. The array disintegrated into elementary particles, swept away by the deluge into the even more infinite Dark Ocean.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
In an instant, this massive tide, surging toward every coordinate, swallowed everything within a hundred-septillion-light-year radius, all matter, all energy, all information.
Under the crushing weight of this savage and tyrannical chaos tide, even the boundless yet empty 3D space-time fractured, leaving gaping wounds as large as the observable universe.
The moment these gargantuan holes appeared, they transformed into hundreds of millions of pockets of intangible, negative-dimension nothingness.
From these voids, infinite Singularity-like points emerged, expanding violently the moment they manifested.
Thus, this vast expanse of misty void became utterly chaotic as countless Big Bangs ignited simultaneously.
The chaos in this sector of space-time reached such a lethal degree that even a Large Matter Sea could not have endured for a single second.
Any existence would have been instantly shredded by the ceaseless explosions of creation and reduced to total dissolution.
Yet, as terrifying as this catastrophe was and as vast as its reach seemed, it was merely the prelude to Seraphine's ascension.
Only after the prelude ended did the true chapter begin.
At this exact moment, Seraphine, the one who had birthed these world-ending disasters, had merged all of her dimensional cells into one. She condensed into a spherical, high-dimensional super-space-time vortex ten million light-years in diameter, a blur of every dimensional structure constantly shattering and restructuring.
HUMMM... HUMMM... HUMMM...
This chaotic vortex, seemingly containing the essence of the entire cosmos, vibrated at an ultra-high frequency with every passing microsecond.
This caused the surface of the vortex to manifest quadrillions of layers of rippling, rhythmic patterns.
Under these overlapping ripples, infinite points, lines, planes, and solids constantly rose and sank.
It was as if something was being gestated, something was undergoing a metamorphosis.
These were the outward manifestations of Seraphine's 3D, 4D, and 5D sub-dimensional cells undergoing a violent evolution and sublimation of both quality and quantity.
As her Multi-dimensional True Body continued its high-frequency vibration and evolution, the surrounding void within a hundred-septillion-light-year radius buckled and heaved involuntarily.
SWOOSH!
The swaying of the infinite void across the firmament was so violent that the amplitude of each rise and fall reached a hundred quintillion light-years.
Thus, the boundless universe across those hundred septillion light-years suddenly manifested layers of peaks, like a range of monumental mountains, and terrifying heaving waves, like those of a standing ocean.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
As these massive, space-spanning tremors continued, Seraphine, at the center of all this chaos, began to savagely devour the external universe without warning.
During this aggressive consumption, her radiant form, constantly spinning, contracting, and expanding, seemingly composed of infinite points, lines, and planes, surged outward in every direction at a speed quintrigintillion times faster than light.
During this surge, layers of chaotic tides erupted from Seraphine's surface. As they expanded, they churned the already chaotic, vast void around her into even greater turmoil.
BOOM! BOOM!
Seconds ticked by.
After nearly half a minute of expansion, Seraphine's physical scale had completely surpassed that of the Verdant Ancient Matter Sea and was surging toward a diameter of quadrillions of light-years. To an outside observer, she appeared as a chaotic cluster of points, lines, planes, and solids manifesting in bizarre angles and proportions, vibrating at an ultra-high frequency. And at the very heart of this Multi-dimensional True Body, the critical element finally sparked into existence: the 6D dimensional cell.
In geometry, a 6D hypercube is the 6D analogue of a 3D cube.
Its complexity far exceeds that of a 5D hypercube, which already possesses thirty-two vertices, eighty edges, and eighty faces.
Thus, to concretely describe its outward appearance is as difficult as reaching the heavens.
One can only barely describe it using words like indescribable or ineffable.
Lower-dimensional lifeforms cannot even behold it.
If a hundred million Three-Dimensional Ungrateful Sons were suddenly brought here to witness the full vista of that 6D unit cell, the structure of their thoughts would instantly collapse. This would lead to the disintegration of their bodies, resulting in their immediate and total demise.
As a result, the structure of their thoughts would instantly collapse, followed by the disintegration of their bodies, ending in sudden death.
BOOM!!!!
With the birth of this 6D dimensional cell, tens of quadrillions of apocalyptic, chaotic, and distorted beams erupted from the surface of Seraphine's Multi-dimensional True Body. These beams shot outward, piercing and carving through the infinite chaotic void. They sliced open tens of quadrillions of space-time fissures, each as wide as a galaxy and hundreds of quintillions of light-years long. These fissures, in turn, birthed even denser regions of negative-dimension nothingness and an ever-increasing swarm of Singularity-like creation explosions emerging from the void.
The moment this 6D unit cell appeared, exactly twelve 5D dimensional cells were generated simultaneously around its various facets. Like a falling line of dominoes, as these twelve 5D cells were born, one hundred and twenty 4D unit cells appeared at the same moment around their facets. As soon as the 4D cells emerged, nine hundred and sixty 3D unit cells manifested in that same heartbeat.
Immediately after, the 6D dimensional cell vibrated slightly and suddenly divided, creating a second 6D unit cell. Consequently, new clusters of 5D, 4D, and 3D unit cells were born simultaneously, joining the construction of Seraphine's new multi-dimensional body.
Furthermore, the moment these dimensional cells were born, their previous ten-thousand-light-year edge length and overall physical scale began to surge exponentially.
Ten-fold, a hundred-fold, a thousand-fold, ten-thousand-fold...
In just half a minute, the expansion of the edge lengths of all the dimensional cells concluded, reaching exactly one trillion light-years.
This meant that the total volume of a single 3D unit cell within Seraphine's body now exceeded that of the observable universe by more than a thousand times.
Her true form, centered on the 6D dimensional cells, with the 5D, 4D, and 3D unit cells of each dimension forming the new multi-dimensional exterior, had successfully coalesced and established itself.
In this new body, the most critical hub, the true center of everything, consisted of exactly sixty-four 6D dimensional cells, each with an edge length of one trillion light-years.
Surrounding this 6D core was the inner bodily layer, composed of seven hundred and sixty-eight 5D unit cells.
Outside the 5D cells was the outer bodily layer, consisting of 7,680 4D unit cells.
And outside the 4D cells were 61,440 3D unit cells, each capable of swallowing over a thousand observable universes.
As for the Facade...
Actually, after reviewing the String race data, Seraphine had learned one thing: 6D energy levels are incredibly high.
If she were to carelessly release her Facade, which, like the String race, possessed a body temperature that far exceeded the Planck temperature, Seraphine would likely instantly destroy vast swathes of 3D space and fall into the unknown negative-dimension nothingness.
Therefore, during this ascension, she intentionally refrained from releasing her Facade. Instead, she channeled it as a microscopic, high-energy stream of particles, circulating between each unit cell within her multi-dimensional body.
Having coalesced her entire new multi-dimensional form, Seraphine's outward appearance within the universe was now that of a chaotic titan. She stood ten octillion light-years tall, her surface resembling a void where countless universes drifted freely, and at the center of her face, a single, ultra-massive, swirling vortex-shaped radiant eye rotated.
"Hmm..."
Seraphine slowly raised her hand, which was millions of times vaster than the largest Matter Sea, and her voice vibrated through the void. "Although the ascension isn't fully complete, the overall framework is established. Once the internal structural adjustments and refinement of those 6D unit cells are finished, it will be truly finalized."
As she spoke, she ignited a tiny, fly-sized, yet incredibly brilliant speck of light at her fingertip.
In truth, this wasn't just a speck of light, but a cluster of Matter Seas numbering in the hundreds of millions, and each was a peak-sized Matter Sea with a diameter of a hundred quintillion light-years.
Indeed, even the largest-scale Matter Sea was that tiny to the current Seraphine.
To provide a more vivid comparison of their scales:
If Seraphine were the height of an average human, the largest Matter Sea would be only about ten nanometers wide to her. That is roughly the size of a foot-and-mouth disease virus, or a small molecule.
And if the Verdant Ancient Matter Sea were compared to Seraphine...
The Verdant Ancient Matter Sea would be one-millionth of ten nanometers, exactly ten femtometers. That is the diameter of an atomic nucleus.
In other words, the Verdant Ancient Matter Sea, with its diameter of hundreds of trillions of light-years, equivalent to the mass of over a hundred million observable universes, was to Seraphine as small as an atomic nucleus. Describing it as a speck of dust would be an overstatement.
"Not bad. Although my body is a bit large, it still possesses a fair amount of majesty."
After a soft chuckle, Seraphine casually opened her attribute interface.
The interface displayed:
[Host: Seraphine]
[Physical Strength: 10^85 Matter Seas]
[Soul: 10^85 Matter Seas]
"Strength attributes aren't bad. Although it's still a far cry from the total number of Matter Seas in the entire 3D Great Boundary, it's enough."
"Now, after discarding all technical auxiliary expansions... what about the range of a 6D primordial interference field?"
Seraphine looked at her massive palm, which seemed to be composed of a hundred quintillion radiant universes, and suddenly clenched it into a fist.
In an instant, centering on her clenched fist, the colossal void within a diameter of a hundred septemvigintillion light-years shook violently.
BOOM!!!!!
Tens of duodecillions of towering waves formed instantly, howling as they swept over the hundreds of millions of Matter Seas scattered throughout this boundless universe.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
In a heartbeat, countless Matter Seas teeming with intelligent races and civilizations were extinguished by Seraphine's mere will.
"Acceptable."
With a soft whisper from Seraphine, the hundred-septemvigintillion-light-year expanse of misty void instantly became calm, without a single ripple. The surging tides and massive waves from before vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
As for the countless Matter Seas that previously existed in this vast void, no matter how many powerful beings, clans, or civilizations they held, they vanished silently along with the fading space-time waves.
The glorious, majestic, and brilliant histories of those infinite Matter Seas were swept away by the wind, becoming forgotten myths that would never be sung or spoken of again.
To manipulate and control the surrounding universe within a radius of a hundred septemvigintillion light-years, this was clearly the capability of the Ancient String stage of the String race.
In other words, through the probability array, Seraphine had instantly leaped to the sixth stage of the String race hierarchy.
Such incredible speed.
"Next is... the evolved Eye of Transcendence."
Seraphine's smooth face rippled as the Eye of Transcendence at its center, composed of intricate radiant patterns, erupted with divine light, gazing into the boundless, dark firmament.
HUMMM...
In an instant, the countless Matter Seas of the entire 3D Great Boundary, along with everything else, were reflected within her sight.
It wasn't a blurry glimpse, but a crystal-clear observation spanning from the ultra-cosmic macro-level down to the micro and sub-micro Planck realm; everything was perfectly distinct.
Indeed, in both breadth and precision, the evolved 6D Eye of Transcendence had reached a level where it could completely blanket and see through every phenomenon within the 3D Great Boundary.
Seraphine knew that this effect wasn't just a massive boost in her cosmic observation range.
Specifically, it was the perfect fusion of two previously isolated perspectives: the macro vision, which could see the silhouettes of infinite parallel universes but lacked clarity, and the micro vision, which could observe local phenomena but lacked range and precision.
After this upgrade, these two distinct visions within the Eye of Transcendence, once separated by a vast distance, had finally merged into a perfect whole.
It's a bit complex, but to put it simply:
The fundamental reason the Eye of Transcendence can see through the entire 3D universe is that its previously disparate macro and micro perspectives were upgraded and successfully unified.
In short, not just this universe, but every other universe is now completely transparent to Seraphine.
If she wishes to look, she will see through it entirely. From the cosmic and macro-levels down to the micro, sub-micro, and Planck scales, every dimension and scale is crystal clear.
With this bug-level observation capability, the precise space-time coordinates of any region are within her easy reach. Combined with the Real Number Channel, she can instantly project her power into any space-time coordinate she can perceive.
What she can observe, she can influence.
"Excellent!"
Seraphine's gaze burned as she looked at a Large Matter Sea 10^119 light-years away, and she immediately opened a Real Number Channel.
HUMMM...
In a heartbeat, she pierced through the boundless void, crossing that terrifying distance of 10^119 light-years. With a SWOOSH, she stepped above that Large Matter Sea.
She brought her massive foot down.
BOOM!!!
The universe shook; waves of energy surged.
Under the crushing weight of Seraphine's gargantuan foot, the Matter Sea, equivalent in mass to over a quadrillion observable universes, was instantly annihilated. Not a single proton remained.
Immediately after, her gaze shifted, looking at a Large Matter Sea within a parallel universe a hundred quintillion space-times away.
HUMMM...
Another instant passed.
Seraphine traversed a hundred quintillion space-times to reach that alien 3D Great Boundary, bringing her foot down heavily on a massive Matter Sea equivalent to a hundred quintillion observable universes.
BOOM!
The world fractured; all existence perished.
Another gargantuan Matter Sea was annihilated.
And so, within the span of a femtosecond, Seraphine performed millions of consecutive teleports across millions of parallel universes, destroying hundreds of millions of massive Matter Seas.
It can be said that under the precise guidance of the Eye of Transcendence and the instantaneous teleportation of the Real Number Channel, Seraphine could now reach any corner of any universe in a single thought.
With another thought, she could reach any corner of any distant space-time.
She effectively possessed a theoretical Warp Level 10.
A Warp Level 10 capable of crossing multiple space-times.
Whatever destination she desired, she reached instantly.
"Perfect. However..."
Seraphine suddenly realized a problem.
The problem was that this modified Warp Level 10 capability still had a clear limitation.
Specifically, she couldn't truly see or perceive the entirety of the Actual Infinite parallel space-times.
Or rather, Seraphine couldn't yet withstand the impact of Actual Infinite information.
In truth, while reviewing the String race data, she had already seen the record concerning the number of parallel universes across infinite space-time:
They are Actually Infinite.
She also knew that the Eye of Transcendence possessed the capability to observe these infinite parallel universes.
Although Seraphine still didn't understand why the Eye of Transcendence, a deduction resulting from the combination of Chaos Calculation and the Eye of True Revelation, was such a bug that it could possess the ability to see through all space-time, she knew one thing clearly...
If she truly wished to look, and didn't constrain the Eye of Transcendence's full visual power, allowing it to function without limits, she could instantly see everything across infinite space-time.
However, given Seraphine's finite scale, she truly could not withstand or contain such an Actually Infinite flow of information.
If she were to observe those infinite parallel universes, even if she only looked at the specific color of a single flower in each universe, she would undoubtedly be detonated by that Actually Infinite information stream.
Because, as long as it isn't zero, any finite number, no matter how small, multiplied by infinity results in infinity.
"I didn't expect to possess an ability that could easily kill me, huh?!"
Seraphine suddenly thought: what if, during a battle, she took the infinite space-time information perceived by the Eye of Transcendence and used the Authority of Change to project it directly into her opponent's vision?
In that case...
Wouldn't that be an absolute instant kill?!
"That's right," she murmured, struck by the realization. "As long as one isn't Actually Infinite, one cannot possibly resist Actual Infinite... there's simply no chance."
Indeed, under the onslaught of an Actually Infinite information stream, any lifeform, regardless of strength, even a monster 10^10000...0 times stronger than Seraphine, would undoubtedly perish if their body and mind remained within a finite tier.
Unless the opponent knew exactly what they were facing and made prior arrangements to evade it or employed some other unknown countermeasure.
"So, this technique..."
Seraphine slowly raised her massive hand to stroke her chin. "What should I call it?"
While considering, she suddenly recalled an anime from her past life titled "Jujutsu Kaisen". In that work, there was a character named... Satoru Gojō.
He had a signature technique called Muryōkūsho.
The principle of that move was to instantly flood the enemy's brain with infinite information, causing their soul and thoughts to overload from the sheer chaos of it, leaving them paralyzed and powerless, waiting for death.
However, the difference was that in the anime, instantly referred to 0.2 seconds. And the so-called infinite information actually referred to about half a year's worth of useless data.
Seraphine's technique, however, forced an Actually Infinite magnitude of information into the enemy within a single Planck second.
The disparity between the two was beyond comparison.
Thus, Seraphine happily decided to name her technique... [Shūkyoku].
"Who would have thought, who would have thought."
Seraphine leisurely sighed. "Among the many benefits of this ascension, the evolution of the Eye of Transcendence actually surpasses the expansion of the interference field in importance, and by quite a bit."
Indeed, with the upgraded Eye of Transcendence as support, even the massive expansion of Seraphine's interference field seemed less impressive. Because, through the combination of the Eye of Transcendence and the Real Number Channel, she had achieved a perfect, global-scale targeted strike.
Wherever she looked, she could strike. Distance had become irrelevant.
However, it was merely targeted positioning, not a true global Area of Effect (AoE).
There was no other reason than the fact that any 3D Great Boundary was simply too vast. It was so massive that even if Seraphine spent every Planck second teleporting her power via a Real Number Channel to destroy a hundred-septemvigintillion-light-year expanse, it would still take countless years to clear the entire 3D Great Boundary.
Over such a long period, the regions first destroyed would have long since birthed new Matter Seas, having undergone countless cycles of destruction and reboot.
Therefore, the increase in the interference field's range was still the most vital factor.
Fortunately, another important ability Seraphine gained after her ascension, [Self-Surge], could solve this problem perfectly.
Of course, that critical ability would only take effect after the 6D dimensional cells at her core were fully refined and adjusted.
The so-called [Self-Surge] is a fundamental characteristic of a 6D spatial lifeform. Under its influence, Seraphine would grow continuously, much like a true universe.
However, her surge wasn't in physical size, but in the breadth (diameter) of her external interference field, its precision (perception), and its intensity (physical and soul attributes).
This surge, or growth rate, when calculated holistically, meant that every hour, Seraphine's three major attributes, the breadth, precision, and intensity of her interference field, would grow by four orders of magnitude.
That is, a ten-thousand-fold increase.
In other words, even if Seraphine did absolutely nothing, the diameter of her interference field would surge by 96 orders of magnitude in a single day.
That is a 1 followed by 96 zeros.
Just a hair's breadth away from a Googol.
And that was just the diameter.
Looking at the overall scale (volume), her interference field would explode by 288 orders of magnitude in just one day.
Even a King String's interference field diameter was only 72 orders of magnitude stronger than Seraphine's. Give Seraphine one day, and she would surpass the King String by 24 orders of magnitude.
That is a septillion-fold difference.
Converted to overall volume, she would violently exceed a King String by over 72 orders of magnitude.
And then there were precision and intensity.
Precision aside, the intensity alone, the growth rate of her physical and soul attributes, made the [Infinite Attributes] system feel somewhat redundant.
Even if the system were to suddenly upgrade and offer a quadrillion-fold increase in a day, what would it matter? Compared to Seraphine's own natural attribute surge, it was practically unnoticeable.
Furthermore, this was merely the initial growth rate of [Self-Surge].
According to the information provided by her Transcendental Perception, the growth rate of [Self-Surge] would continue to evolve. As for how it would evolve or how much more powerful it would become, that remained to be seen.
Additionally, during her probability-based ascension to 6D, Seraphine's Transcendental Perception caught a blurry, fleeting glimpse of a higher evolutionary path for 6D spatial lifeforms.
"So... a spatial lifeform is just the standard version of this evolutionary direction."
Seraphine concentrated on recalling the name that had faintly surfaced for that higher version... It seemed to be called... [6D Universal Venerable].
"Regardless, there's no point in overthinking it now."
Seraphine slowly sat cross-legged in the void. "First, I'll wait for the 6D core to finish its refinement and fine-tuning. I'll let [Self-Surge] boost me for a few days, and then I'll decide on the next move. Hmm, it should take another hour or so."
As her thoughts drifted, she leisurely opened the data packet labeled [Non-Static Global-Inflation 3D Great Boundary] in her mind and began to read.
While Seraphine was relaxing...
Within a 3D Great Boundary septendecillion space-times away, Coo and Genarkrail sat in a daze.
They were in that same brilliant domain, spanning tens of quintillions of light-years and composed of countless tightly-clustered galaxies. Both sat slumped in their chairs, their gazes vacant and expressions blank.
"Hey, Coo," Genarkrail suddenly spoke. "That 5D weed... what... what should we do to deal with her?"
"Don't ask me. I don't know what to do either," Coo shook his head blankly. "Her abilities... are too eerie. I can't even begin to comprehend them."
"Sigh..." Genarkrail sighed despondently. "Coo, there's something you might not know."
"What's that?" Coo asked listlessly.
"I... well..." Genarkrail scratched his head, looking ashamed. "Coo, I'm sorry. I really can't lose this rare treasure, so I... I've already secretly transmitted the whole story via a data packet to... the Heavenly Hegemon."
"What?! You motherf-!" Coo jumped up and began cursing Genarkrail with everything he had. "Do you even know what you've done?! Are you a complete idiot?! How could you tell..."
HUMMM...
Space-time rippled; the void vibrated.
Abruptly, a blurry, blood-red phantom flickered into existence between Coo and Genarkrail. The phantom's features were indistinct, but it radiated an aura of immense size and strength, enveloped in a layer of dense, blinding crimson blood-light.
"A spiritual projection? Is it... the Heavenly Hegemon?!"
Coo froze instantly and sank back into his chair, not daring to utter another word. Although the projection held no actual power, it radiated an overwhelming pressure, one so intense it felt as if a single word might cause the heavens to fracture and the universe to sink.
After manifesting, the Heavenly Hegemon ignored Coo. He paced over to Genarkrail and looked down at him. Genarkrail didn't even dare to lift his head.
SLAP!
The Heavenly Hegemon suddenly struck Genarkrail. "Who puts food on your table?"
Genarkrail was knocked sideways by the blow, but he only sat back up in silence, offering no reply.
SLAP!
The Heavenly Hegemon struck him again, harder this time, knocking him to the floor. "Who is your boss?"
Still, Genarkrail remained silent. He lowered his head, righted his chair, and sat back down.
After delivering the two slaps, the Heavenly Hegemon spoke coldly once more. "You seem to think you no longer need to work for me, is that right, Genarkrail?"
"Uh... Boss," Genarkrail finally stammered. "I've... I've learned a lot from you."
"Oh, I hope so," the Heavenly Hegemon laughed chillingly. "But that doesn't mean you have the experience or the capability... to challenge me."
