Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4872

Chapter 4872: Existence Is! I

Across eons of time.

Far from the weavings of THE Infinite Unfurling in a past that Noah was currently experiencing.

In the current era after THE Fallout.

In Alfheimr.

An unknown number of light years from the region where Noah had held an illusory consciousness meeting with THE Primordial Chaos, far from where THE Living Elemental and THE Living Emotive had met him and clashed with words that carried the weight of civilizations, there existed an abode that was sacred to the lifeforms of this Primordial Realm.

It sat atop a mountain peak that rose from clouds of luminescent mist, the summit reaching toward skies that burned with the twilight of Alfheimr. The mountain itself was ancient beyond measure, its slopes covered with forests of trees that had witnessed the differentiation of Observable Existence and continued to witness everything that came after.

At the peak stood a simple multicolored stone temple.

Not grand in the way that palaces were grand. Not imposing in the way that fortresses were imposing. It was simple in the way that truly sacred things were simple, its architecture speaking of purpose rather than ostentation. The stones that formed its walls held every color that light could produce, shifting and changing as the twilight touched them from different angles, and the air around it carried a weight that pressed against any existence that approached.

This was a place where THE Creature had once walked.

The figures of THE Living Origin and THE First Hunger appeared at the foot of the temple, their forms manifesting from spatial distortions.

Origin looked up at the temple with eyes that held memories stretching back to before The Earliest Folds, before her collapse, before everything had changed. Her milky white form seemed almost fragile in this moment despite the power she now held, her expression complex with emotions that she rarely allowed others to see.

She turned to Hunger.

"Can you wait for me down here?"

Her voice was soft, almost hesitant.

"I just... I need a moment. When I come down, I will have my answer."

She paused, her eyes meeting his.

"And you will have yours."

...!

Her expression was complex as Hunger heard this and stayed still, his eyes heavy with understanding. His dark hair flowed past his shoulders, stirred by winds that carried the weight of Alfheimr’s twilight, and his crimson eyes held a light of defiance that never truly faded regardless of the circumstances.

Lesser beings would not ever think about competing against THE Creature for anything, let alone for the affection of one who had given THE Creature her Everything.

But not Hunger.

The light of all Inevitabilities burned within him as he sat down on the stone steps leading up to the temple, his posture relaxed but his attention sharp. He would wait. He would be patient!

And when Origin came down from that mountain, whatever answer she carried would determine everything that came next.

Origin went up the temple.

Her steps were light and measured as she continued up the ancient stones, her gaze reflecting memories of times when she had climbed these same steps with hope. She remembered when THE Creature had been everything to her. She remembered when his presence had been enough to make existence feel meaningful.

She remembered when she had given him her Everything, and he had accepted it without telling her what that acceptance would truly cost.

She continued until she entered the temple fully, passing through the simple archway into an interior that held no decorations, no ornaments, no displays of power. Just empty space and the weight of presence that had accumulated across eons of beings coming here to seek audience with THE Creature.

She came to stand close to the temple’s center, and there she saw it.

A white mat.

Not a grand throne or anything unfathomable that would befit one of THE Four. Just an empty mat where visitors would kneel, simple and unassuming in a way that almost seemed like mockery given the power of the being who would appear before it.

"I demand an answer."

BOOM!

THE Creature! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"I am sorry."

BOOM!

"I gave you my Everything."
