Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5130

Chapter 5130: Greed! II

The seas of Infinity dispersed around him, and the skies of a grand floating island opened into his perception.

The light filtered through something that wasn’t atmosphere, golden currents of Observable Force braiding through the open sky in slow rivers that curved around the island’s edges without ever touching them. Below, the island stretched wide and terraced, its pale stone surface veined with gold that pulsed in patient rhythms, its towers rising at the corners with their blinking arrays of polished lenses.

Information poured into him from every direction.

The weavings of Infinity carried the signatures of every being present, the configurations of every structure, the residue of every experiment that had been conducted on this island.

Observable Force layered its own data over the top. It was abundant, the kind of abundance that would have drowned a lesser perception in static, and he let all of it flow freely across his mind!

It passed in less than an instant.

Even in its density, even in the sheer volume of what was being given to him, he received it and read it and filed it in a span shorter than an instant.

|Domain Entry: Unnamed Research Archipelago, THE Wyld.|

|Entity Count: Seven Primordial Architects confirmed present on the primary island. Six distant islands hold additional entities. Full classification pending.|

The information settled into place, and his eyes shone brightly as he looked ahead.

Many eyes looked back.

The silence that fell was awkward! Nobody moved and nobody spoke. The apparatus continued its quiet hum. The golden table at the center continued to receive its rivers of Infinity. The corpse on that table continued its mechanical breathing.

The island spread out beneath him in full view now.

Corpses lay across multiple tables, each one a Primordial Architect in some stage of dissection or modification. Protruding fungi grew from their exposed organs. Pale tendrils wound through their rib cages. Some of the bodies twitched faintly with residual life. Others were clearly past the point of any return. Each table was its own quiet experiment, each subject a record of some attempt that had either succeeded along a narrow axis or failed in an instructive manner.

At the center, a single table commanded the rest.

The corpse lying on it radiated something the others didn’t. Terrifying power rolled off its fungus-laced body in slow waves. Potent Infinity pulsed through the rivers being fed into it, the flow rates higher than anything feeding the other tables.

The Primordial Architects of this research party had clustered near it.

Noah focused on the ones carrying the most power.

|Entity Detected: Octavius Kraethos, Designer of THE Primordial Mycelia.|

|Status: Surprised but composed.|

|Current Scale: THE Proterozoic Scale - Calymmian Tier(Seems fake, power does not match).|

|Threat Level: Significant? Unknown|

|Entity Detected: Valeria Morne, Research Peer.|

|Status: Alert and guarded.|

|Current Scale: THE Proterozoic Scale - Calymmian Tier.|

|Threat Level: Less significant.|

His gaze settled on Octavius.

So this was the one who had created the Primordial Mycelia. The scholar who had forged the fungus of Unity that Erwin had taken!

The entity whose research had rippled outward through so many downstream consequences that even Emotive’s claiming of Chaos traced back to his table!

What a wonder of causality.

All of that had been conceived on a floating island like this one, probably on this exact island, under the steady patient hands of the being now staring back at him.

Looking at Octavius, and at a few of the others clustered near him, brought a unique sensation into his perception.

Seas of Infinity moved within their bodies.

Seas! The concentration held by each of these engineered Primordial Architects exceeded anything he had encountered in any Primordial Architect before, and the seas were stable in a way that made no immediate sense. They should have been drowning. They should have been losing themselves to THE Gamaidian, the madness that Infinity inflicted on beings who couldn’t withstand its pressure.

Instead, the seas held themselves in orderly shorelines inside each of them, kept that way by engineering that had been written into their existential foundations.

The so called amplification of Ego.

Was this what Emotive had been describing? Emotions inflated to such intensity that they could stand against the natural superiority of Infinity, push back against its madness, create a stable foundation on which the sea could rest without spilling over?

The curiosity that bloomed inside him was sharp!

He wanted to gauge their power. He wanted to open their bodies and see exactly what made them tick. The engineering was right there in front of him, walking and speaking and preparing to resist him, and all he had to do was get his hands around one of them to begin the study!

"This... is absolutely incredible."

"A lot might have truly underestimated you, Infinity-bearer. I saw you when you were broadcasting your thrashing of Beowulf, and the recording was instructive, genuinely instructive, but seeing you in person is something else entirely. It’s a treat. Honestly, a treat!"

"Listen. I have many internal laboratories ready for use, quite nearby, well prepared and well equipped. If you’d be willing to cooperate with the process, I can lay you down on a table and open you up just to study your Infinity a little bit. Nothing too invasive. I just don’t want things to get messy and loud and have any others come by. The integrity of the research depends on quiet, you understand."

"Haha!"

"Soon-to-be-corpse, you don’t have to worry about that! I! Have! Sealed! Everything!"

|Emotional Blockade has been established. Authority: THE Living Emotive.|

|THE Hadean Barrier of Infinity has been enacted. Authority: Naldine Manthon.|
