Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4891

Chapter 4891: Storm II

In existence, you had to walk around and move around like you knew exactly what you were doing.

The trick was to understand that more often than not, everybody else had absolutely no idea what they were doing, and they were figuring things out as they went. The Absolute who seemed impossibly confident? Probably winging it.

The ancient entity who spoke with authority accumulated across eons? Making educated guesses based on experience!

The member of THE Four who shaped Observable Existence with casual gestures? Still learning, still adapting, still uncertain about outcomes that hadn’t yet unfolded.

Some had a bit more control compared to others, but Existence was mainly chaotic.

So fake it until you make it.

Noah was releasing his signature and power while standing on the golden river of THE Mouseion as if he knew exactly what he was doing. His blue-gold flames burned with confidence that pressed against the fate-based systems surrounding him, declaring without words that he belonged here, that he had every right to claim whatever the Mouseion deemed his, that whatever descended from the stellar expanse above would be exactly what he expected.

He knew with utmost certainty that some grand fated item would be descending down for him.

And well, this wasn’t entirely faking it.

He actually did know what was coming.

He had put it there himself.

HUUM!

The space above shuddered as if it was being pulled by forces that transcended the Mouseion’s normal operations. The stellar expanse that held countless treasures deposited across eons trembled with recognition, and in the next moment, at an extremely rapid speed, something came down as if Noah was reclaiming lost property that had been waiting for him all this time.

At Planck speed, a blue-gold treasure chest appeared in front of him.

The chest didn’t drift down gently like other fated items might. It didn’t descend with the measured pace of fate acknowledging worthiness. It rushed toward Noah with urgency.

Glossikos was astonished. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Why did this item rush toward him as if a child was rushing back to their parent? Why did the Mouseion’s systems respond with such enthusiasm to this particular claim? She had witnessed countless retrievals across her existence as a leader of THE Agora, and none of them had looked like this.

When she looked at the chest clearly though, recognition struck her.

In the next moment, Glossikos was astounded as she remembered this item.

Eons ago, someone had put this item in here. They had come along with a terrifying personage that had long since been gone, a being whose presence had made even the Polemarchs of that era lower their heads in deference!

Glossikos remembered countless eons ago when she brought THE Tongue Whisperer here, when they added this very chest as a contribution to THE Mouseion’s collection.

What was this?

Why would...

Her mind buzzed with implications she couldn’t fully process.

Noah grasped the blue-gold treasure chest with Immensity that made his foundations resonate with the object’s authority. His eyes met Glossikos’s shocked gaze with calm.

"I told you, Glossikos, that I would come and get what is fated for me later on."

His voice was steady.

"That at that point, you may actually be there to witness it."

He smiled.

"Here I am, and here you are."

BOOM!

His words felt archaic and heavy, echoing with weight that came from having been spoken before and now being fulfilled. They were so astonishing, so impossible, so fundamentally reality-breaking in their implications that the Absolute who heard them did something she hadn’t done in eons.

She stumbled backward.

And then she fell on her ass in shock and incredulity.

Glossikos, one of the Strategoi who had helped shape this institution across THE Infinite Unfurling, sat on the golden river and stared up at Noah with an expression that had abandoned all composure.

When she now looked at him, the image of THE Tongue Whisperer that she had seen in this same place eons ago overlapped with the being standing before her now. The same mannerisms. The same confidence.

He had known!
