Chapter 4464: Civilization Specialization VII
The idea of it alone was ridiculous as thid type of power truly benefitted his overal Civilization as it would mean…any Primus Inevitabilities with a base of 100 Quintillion Complexity and Purity could become a bastion of defense.
If he chose just 20 Million of the 100 Million Primus Inevitabilities to go through The Iron Concordat Sovereign Spire…that would be 20 Million Entities with…1.5 Sextillion Complexity and Purity.
…
One needed to take a second to process this.
And then another second!
Because oh!
His eyes gleamed with appreciation for the sophisticated design as he contemplated potential applications.
As he continued staring at the illusory diagram of the Infinite Bulwark form, additional prompts materialized with crucial clarification.
The stated 15x Complexity and Purity multiplier for defensive calculations represents baseline enhancement for standard Members choosing this Specialization.
However, the actual multiplicative effect can be substantially higher depending on the Civilization Specialization Potential possessed by an individual Member.
Higher Potential Ranks receive proportionally greater benefits from Specialization transformation, creating dramatic power differentials between Members of identical base power but different Potential classifications.
Noahs attention sharpened at this revelation.
Potential!
Potential determineed how much benefit they extract from Specialization!
It meant that not everyone who becomes an Infinite Bulwark achieves identical results.
In the next moment, an illusory diagram of Riya materialized before him…her familiar form rendered in blue-gold holographic light with exceptional detail.
From this diagram, countless lines of information extended outward like branches, each one providing specific data about her capabilities and characteristics.
But most prominently, directly above her rendered form, glowing text displayed…
Civilization Specialization Potential: Sovereign PotentialLegendary 3rd Seal
Noahs eyes widened fractionally at seeing this concrete measurement of Riyas inherent capacity.
Additional prompts manifested to explain!
CIVILIZATION SPECIALIZATION POTENTIAL SYSTEM
Every being within your Civilization possesses innate Civilization Potential Rank that determines their capacity for Specialization advancement, their speed of progression, and the magnitude of benefits they receive from choosing Specialization path.
This Potential is not arbitrary, it reflects fundamental characteristics of their existence, their connection to the Civilizations core principles, and their capacity for transformation and growth.
POTENTIAL RANK CLASSIFICATIONS:
The prompts organized themselves into hierarchical structure as RUIN/EDEN provided a comprehensive explanation.
RANK 1: UNDEFINED Unique — Noah Osmont Only
This classification is possessed solely by The Primordial Sovereign, the foundational existence around which the entire Civilization is constructed.
Capabilities:
Can perceive, analyze, and systematically evaluate the Civilization Potential of all Members with perfect accuracy
Can forcefully elevate the Civilization Potential of any Member through investment of accumulated Harvest
Can create entirely new Specialization Paths by combining existing frameworks or manifesting novel configurations
Not bound by limitations of any single Specialization, already embodies all paths simultaneously without requiring conscious selection
You are the architect. All others are components of your design.
Noah nodded slowly at this confirmation of his unique position.
RANK 2: PRIMORDIAL POTENTIAL Mythic — 1st Seal through 9th Seal
Extraordinarily rare classification possessed by entities fundamentally woven into the Civilizations genesis, beings whose existence is inseparable from the Civilizations foundational principles.
Capabilities:
Can master multiple non-competing Specializations simultaneously maximum: 3
Advancement speed multiplied by 50x compared to baseline
Can evolve their chosen Specializations into unique personal variants that reflect their individual nature
Natural affinity for Civilizational Authority makes all Specialization abilities substantially more potent
Current Members with Primordial Potential: Khor The First Hunger, SigridThe Living Order
Noahs mind immediately catalogued this information.
Khor and Sigrid both qualified as Primordial Potential. It made sense…they were fundamentally connected to Hunger and Order itself.
RANK 3: SOVEREIGN POTENTIAL Legendary — 1st Seal through 9th Seal
Rare classification possessed by exceptional individuals who demonstrate remarkable affinity for the Civilizations principles despite not being foundational components.
Capabilities:
Can master two non-competing Specializations simultaneously
Advancement speed multiplied by 20x compared to baseline
Capable of teaching their Specialization to lower-ranked Members, accelerating collective growth
Develop leadership capabilities naturally, often capable of becoming commanders within their Specialization
Current Members with Sovereign Potential: Protos The First Primus Inevitability, Barbatos, Riya, Henry
Noah evaluated each name.
All were exceptional in their own ways!
RANK 4: EXALTED POTENTIAL Epic — 1st Seal through 9th Seal
Uncommon classification possessed by talented Members who show exceptional affinity for specific aspects of the Civilization.
Capabilities:
Masters one Specialization with extraordinary depth
Advancement speed multiplied by 10x compared to baseline
Can develop unique techniques and variations within their chosen Specialization
Estimated Members with Exalted Potential: 847 current Members
RANK 5: ASCENDANT POTENTIAL Rare — 1st Seal through 9th Seal
Common among capable Members who possess solid foundation and genuine commitment to Civilization.
Capabilities:
Masters one Specialization effectively
Advancement speed multiplied by 5x compared to baseline
Standard but reliable progression along chosen path
Form backbone of Specialization factions through consistent competence
Estimated Members with Ascendant Potential: 4 Million+ current Members
RANK 6: INITIATED POTENTIAL Common
Baseline rank for most Members who join the Civilization.
Capabilities:
Can pursue one Specialization
Standard advancement speed
Requires substantial resource investment for meaningful progression
Can be elevated to higher Potential through Masters intervention and Harvest investment
Estimated Members with Initiated Potential: Majority of current Civilization membership
…!
After Noah absorbed the complete framework of Civilization Specialization Potential, his eyes shone with brilliant intensity as he contemplated everything.
He could see everyones Potential. And more importantly, he could elevate that Potential through Harvest investment!
His mind raced through tactical calculations.
He smiled with tyrannical satisfaction as the potential wonder to bloom from all of this was simply…
Catastrophic. Absolutely catastrophic levels of power become possible!
WAA!
And so far, he had only examined one Civilization Specialization in detail.
There remained two other currently available Specializations that he could guide Members toward…The Hungering Maw and The Vital Chorus.
One could already decipher what they would be geared towards if the first Civilization Specialization was defensive.
Each would offer distinct capabilities. Each would create different opportunities.
His Civilization was evolving beyond simple accumulation of powerful individuals and was becoming a true organism…differentiated, specialized, optimized.
And he controlled every aspect of that evolution!
