Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5110

Chapter 5110: War! I

<Pioneers>

In the long annals of Observable Existence, there have always been those who looked upon the established order and asked a simple question: why must it be so?

These beings, whom later beings would come to call Pioneers, did not accept that the boundaries of what was possible had already been drawn by those who came before. They did not believe that the frameworks governing power and progression were immutable laws of reality rather than choices made by earlier entities who happened to arrive first.

There was THE Quantum Weaver, who studied the behavior of particles at scales so small that certainty itself became meaningless. Where others saw chaos, she perceived opportunity. She developed a Civilization she termed Superposition Authority, which allowed her existence to occupy multiple states simultaneously until observation forced collapse into whichever configuration most benefited her purposes. Her enemies could never predict where she would be, because she was everywhere until she chose not to be. She fell eventually, as many Pioneers do, but the Civilization she forged persisted in fragments that others would later rediscover and build upon.

There was also THE Entanglement Sovereign, who recognized that particles separated by vast distances could influence each other instantaneously, as if space itself was an illusion they had agreed to ignore. He engineered connections between aspects of his existence scattered across Observable Existence, creating a network of influence that transcended the limitations of travel and communication. When he acted in one location, the effects manifested simultaneously in a thousand others.

Those who sought to contain him discovered that containing one fragment meant nothing when countless fragments remained free.

Disastrously, there was also THE Relativistic Architect, who understood that time flowed differently depending on velocity and gravity. She constructed realms where eons passed internally while mere moments elapsed externally, cultivating armies and resources in temporal pockets that her enemies could not perceive fast enough to address. By the time they recognized her threat, she had already spent subjective cycles preparing for their response.

These Pioneers and countless others demonstrated a truth that the comfortable and the powerful have always sought to suppress: the rules of existence are not natural laws but engineering decisions. They were designed by someone. And what was designed by someone can be redesigned by someone else.

This is why Pioneers are critical for the immensity of existence.

Without them, the frameworks established by the earliest and most powerful would calcify into permanence. Progress would halt. Innovation would cease!

Oh!

Imagine the loss of innovation itself.

Existence would become a museum curated by those who arrived first, with all subsequent beings reduced to visitors admiring what others had built while being forbidden from building anything themselves.

The Pioneers remind us that boundaries are proposals, not facts. That limitations are suggestions and commands. That someone saying ’this cannot be done’ often means only that they have not yet seen it done.

Of course, Pioneers frequently fail. They frequently die. They frequently discover that the boundaries they sought to transcend existed for reasons they did not understand, and their attempts to cross them ended in consequences they could not survive.

But some succeed.

And when they succeed, existence itself changes to accommodate what they have proven possible.

This is why those who benefit from the current order fear Pioneers above all other threats. And it is not because Pioneers are necessarily more powerful than they are...

But because Pioneers ask questions that have no safe answers.

Why must it be so?

What if it could be otherwise?

Who decided, and why should we accept their decision?

These questions, once asked, cannot be unasked. And the beings who ask them, even if they fall, plant seeds in the minds of others who will ask the same questions again!

Existence is vast. But it was not always as vast as it is now. Every expansion, every new territory, every novel classification and framework and system of power, all of these emerged because someone refused to accept that what existed was all that could exist.

Pioneers built the vastness.

And Pioneers will continue building it, whether the current custodians of existence approve or not.

Noah’s mind was buzzing with possibilities and ideas.

For his First Infinite Scale of Existence, Noah needed to understand exactly what he was working with. He currently held Uncountable Infinity across all Depths and foundations of his existence. His body endlessly generated Quintessence Infiniforce through active utilization of Infinity itself. Observable Force flooded into him from Ubergulden Adelheid through a connection that pulsed with warmth he had grown accustomed to feeling.

With his entire skeleton and organs transformed to Hadean classification, he had access to power that defied what his apparent Scale should permit.

Something like his brain alone held an ability he had already glimpsed. THE Hadean Mind of Infinite Calculation could stretch an instant into an infinite moment of perception, freezing everything while his consciousness thought freely across subjective spans that could encompass days or weeks or longer.

But his brain was only one organ among seventy-eight.

His skeleton was only two hundred and six bones.

Each structure now held capabilities that his previous existence couldn’t have imagined.

"Ruination," he said softly. "Give me a breakdown of what my Hadean form is actually capable of."

|With pleasure, Master.|

|Beginning with defensive capabilities.|

|THE Hadean Dermis of Infinite Interface.|

|Your skin now serves as the outermost boundary between your existence and external reality. It is no longer merely a protective layer but an active defensive system that responds to threats according to their classification.|

|Against Rhyacian Tier Proterozoic Scale entities: Complete immunity. Their attacks cannot penetrate your skin regardless of methodology employed. Furthermore, any entity at Rhyacian classification who physically strikes you will experience Existential Hadean Thorn Damage. This damage reflects a portion of their own force back through their existence at amplified intensity. A Rhyacian Proterozoic Lifeform who attacks you with full commitment may find the feedback alone sufficient to collapse their foundations entirely.|

|Against Calymmian Tier Proterozoic Scale entities: Significant resistance. Approximately 25% of their damage output can be transmitted across your skin. However, the remaining 75% is nullified at the dermal level. Any damage that does penetrate must then contend with your musculature and skeletal structure, which possess their own defensive parameters. In practical terms, a Calymmian entity striking you with everything they possess would achieve minimal effect on your actual existence.|

|Against Ediacaran Tier Proterozoic Scale entities: Not enough data...|

|THE Hadean Cage of Infinite Protection.|

|This structure possesses Pulse Nullification capabilities. The majority of common Pulses of The Scales will have their effects reduced by approximately 80% upon contact with your ribcage’s defensive field. This reduction occurs automatically without requiring conscious activation.|

He could tank a Pulse without doing anything.

|THE Hadean Skull of Infinite Perception.|

|THE Hadean Heart of Infinite Circulation.|

|Furthermore, your heart can initiate Circulation Surge. By consciously accelerating its function, you can temporarily boost all physical capabilities by a factor of ten for spans of approximately thirty seconds. This ability has a recovery period of five minutes between uses.|

|THE Hadean Spine of Infinite Flexibility.|
