Noah listened calmly.
His mind moved quickly behind the calm. The Magna Sorora's influence stretched across Vakochev's Scales of Existence. Across the framework that contained Bounded and Gilded and every classification within them. But Vakochev's Scales were not the only Scales anymore!
He'd built his own. THE Infinite Scales of Existence. He existed within his own framework now, with his own measurements and his own ascensions, and the Magna Sorora's reach across Vakochev's frameworks did not necessarily translate into reach across his own. They were on one set of scales. He was on entirely other ones.
"Okay."
His voice came back into the conversation.
"So. For you to not be executed, and then me soon after...I just need to not be a Bounded Lifeform. As far as their classification is concerned. So long as I am a grand Custos, and my apparent identity is a Gilded Lifeform, you can present me without too much shame. Yes?"
He tilted his head slightly.
