Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4187: Desperation! I



Chapter 4187: Desperation! I



The concept of Everything was a mountain range Noah had only just begun to chart.


He had walked its foothills, glimpsed its impossible peaks, and even held a few of its precious stones in his hand.


He recalled the Verdant Eternia Tribe in the Earliest Folds, a civilization of Early Creatures so advanced they did not merely wield Everythings...they cultivated them!


They were farmers of existence itself, tending to gardens of joy, strength, and sorrow, harvesting them into Drops of crystallized potential.


He had not had the chance to learn such a methodology then, but the exposure, the sheer understanding that such a thing was possible, had planted a seed in the fertile soil of his ambition!


Now, in the ruin of what had once been Aeternitas Concordia, he stood on the precipice of a choice.


Above, the sky was a canvas of unfolding catastrophe. The Dead Early Creature, Nysteria, a being of dozens of quadrillions in complexity, radiated an innocent euphoria that was more terrifying than any rage.


In the far, impossible distance, the illusory nine-headed turtle...a weapon, a manifestation of the collective will of the Living Origins- roared its challenge, its own power measured in dozens of quadrillions!


The clash between these two titans would be a spectacle of destruction that would reshape the very fabric of the Transcendent Origin Folds.


It would be an eye-opener, a lesson in the scale of power that entire factions of Living Existences could wield. But Noah found he did not care for their power nearly as much as he cared for his own!


He closed his eyes.


The cacophony of the unfolding apocalypse faded.


The roars of ancient beings, the terrified whispers of the surviving Dukes, the very hum of reality tearing itself apart...all of it dissolved into a profound and perfect silence.


"..."


He was no longer in a battlefield; he was adrift in the boundless, internal sea of his own existence!


He felt the beat of his heart.


THUMP.


It was the rhythm of his own story, a steady, defiant drum against the silence of the void.


And he breathed.


In that single exhalation, the world behind his eyelids erupted in a kaleidoscope of light!


Boundless colors, more vibrant and pure than any he had seen in the physical Folds, flashed and swirled around him.


It was the sensation of being back in that bubble of frozen time with Khor, a space where the raw architecture of existence was laid bare.


He could sense them all, every point of consciousness a unique star in his perception.


He felt the cold, unwavering light of Sigrid’s Order. The swirling, paradoxical chaos of Ozymandias. The deep, resonant hunger of Khor, still distant but a palpable weight on his senses.


He felt the nascent fury of his Legion- Ra’Zan, and the Ape, all burning with a shared, terrible purpose.


In this state of absolute clarity, of perfect connection to the core of his being, he gave the command.


A whisper in the quiet of his soul, yet a roar that shook the foundations of his existence.


’Take all my Complexity. Take all my Purity. Let it all flow into my Heart.’


...!


HUUM!


The moment was monumental.


He felt it begin as a gentle tide, a pulling sensation from the very extremities of his being.


The power that had been scattered across his existence, some woven into the fabric of his Glyphs, some flowing freely through the vast expanse of his Atlas, some resting dormant within the crystalline structures of his Towers...all of it began to move!


It was a grand migration, a river of trillions reversing its course, flowing not outward to influence the world, but inward, toward a single, infinitesimal point: his Heart.


His glorious, incandescent Heart!


The hundreds of thousands of Drops of Blood of an Early Creature that his heart had so painstakingly produced now acted as conduits, their rich, crimson-gold essence surging back toward their source, carrying the full weight of his accumulated power with them.


It was a process that defied biology, that rewrote the rules of existential anatomy. He was not merely concentrating his power; he was reforging the very engine of his existence!


He squinted, a sharp, stabbing sensation piercing through the glorious rush.


It was a pain that transcended anything else- a conceptual agony. It felt as if he were trying to force an entire Fold through the eye of a needle, the sheer density of his own power threatening to tear its container apart!


A profound sense of weakness washed over him, a momentary, terrifying vulnerability as his strength was in transit, neither here nor there. His Glyphs flickered, his aura dimmed, his very presence in reality thinned to a fragile whisper.


And then...


THUMP!


His heart beat.


Not the steady, rhythmic beat of before, but a glorious, heavy detonation of pure power!


The weakness vanished, consumed in an instant by a surge of unimaginable vitality.


The pain was gone, replaced by a sensation of fullness so complete it was intoxicating. His heart did not merely accept the influx of power; it devoured it, owned it, became it!


Bloody purple flames erupted first from the heart itself, a magnificent, royal conflagration that burned with the combined might of Tyranny and Quintessence.


They were not flames of destruction but of coronation, a declaration that a new sovereignty reigned within him!


The moment they engulfed his heart, his entire body began to billow with their light. His dark hair danced wildly, each strand a flickering violet-crimson filament. His skin, once fair, became a canvas for the glorious, bloody flames, and a unique, terrifying aura began to vibrate from him, a presence that was both a promise and a threat.


Prompts, rendered in a newly refined, almost conversational tone, bloomed in his vision.
