Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5241

Chapter 5241: The Descent!

The Gilded Houses bickered and Noah stopped listening to them.

He turned his attention to the Wall instead and let THE Infinite Tongue’s passive operation extend outward through the ambient Mortis Cause threads filling this domain, reaching for whatever the threads would carry to him about what the Wall was. Pillow Talk engaged alongside it, and the two capabilities pressed against the Wall’s information together.

Existence leaned toward him.

That was the sensation. As though the ambient information surrounding the Wall had been waiting for something capable of asking for it, and Noah’s combined capabilities constituted the asking.

The notifications arrived not in sequence but in overlapping fragments, as though the Wall’s information was too layered to deliver cleanly.

|Wall designation: THE Advent Wall. Object of unknown origin.|

|Connection: THE Mortis Cause saturation throughout all structural components. The Wall does not draw from THE Mortis Cause. It was present at the emergence of THE First Cause and carries THE Mortis Cause’s original expression, preceding the derived methodologies that subsequent beings have developed from it.|

|Discovery: Located through temporal weavings of THE First Cause by Gilded Ones. The temporal weavings traced the Wall backward through time to the moment of THE First Cause’s emergence, confirming it as an object that existed at or before that emergence rather than a construction produced after.|

|Contents: THE Advent Wall carries what has been designated terminal Infinity within its interior weavings, a configuration of Infinity that exists in proximity to cessation rather than to continuation. Alongside this, residual musings of THE Primordial Source have been detected within the Wall’s deepest layers. Whether the Wall connects to THE Primordial Source or merely carries traces of it has not been confirmed.|

|Function: Gilded Ones have utilized THE Advent Wall as a gateway. Entry strips the entering existence of its body, its Civilization foundations, and most of its cultivation substrate. What passes through is the soul of the entrant, surrounded by their Ego, their Infinity, and their Observable Force. The gateway appears to filter everything except these components as impurities relative to whatever lies on the other side.|

|Survival rate: Low. Existences without a close connection to THE First Cause do not survive the filtering process. The Wall’s terminal Infinity interacts fatally with foundations that do not carry sufficient proximity to the original emergence or Mortis.|

|Exception: Lineages born directly from the firstborns of THE First Cause demonstrate markedly higher survival rates.|

...!

Noah’s eyes opened wide.

He looked at the Wall. He looked at Adelheid. He thought about THE Infinite Cause, which his mother had originated, which was the one Cause in the current arrangement of existence that had no Gilded designation, no engineering template, no derivation from the existing Prime Cause framework, because it had emerged independently through the accumulated weight of a Bounded woman’s existence, which made it either the furthest possible thing from THE First Cause’s original emergence or something adjacent to it in a way he had not yet fully mapped.

He put the thought away and watched Evangelina.

She had finished whatever calculation she had been running while the Houses bickered and arrived at its conclusion. She nodded toward the Wall without ceremony.

"If THE Magna Sorora and THE Ealdor Gilded Ones have made the decision, we will naturally act in accordance." Her voice carried the flat certainty of a being who had moved past deliberation.

"Let us proceed. It seems both our houses have high expectations for this round’s picks."

Noah smiled.

High expectations. For the existences they were sending through a wall that stripped everything except the soul, the Ego, and whatever Infinity and Observable Force survived the filtering. Into a space where Ealdor Gilded Ones had stopped entering because the risk to their lives was unacceptable. Where many prior entrants had died or returned gravely injured. Where the survival variable was proximity to THE First Cause’s original emergence.

He thought about what could actually be deployed in such a place.

Body gone. Civilization gone. Most cultivation substrate gone. What remained was the soul, the Ego, the Infinity, and the Observable Force. His Absolute Egos of Infinity were anchored in THE Absolute Forge, which lived inside his Hadean Organ of Civilization. Whether the Forge survived the filtering was an open question.

His Causes would likely survive. Causes, by definition, were not structural components of his physiology but truths that his existence had been formed around, woven into what he was rather than into what he had built. THE Bellum Cause. THE Cognitio Cause. THE Infinite Cause. And THE Infinite Tongue, which was not a Cause but operated through the same layer of his existence.

"Have there been any updates?" She held the Devonian Ragnar’s gaze directly. "New findings from those already inside, or from the Ealdor Gilded Ones who have made the descent?"

"Many of those that have entered so far have been gravely injured. Several died." He looked toward the Wall rather than at Evangelina when he said the next part.

"No more Ealdor Gilded Ones have entered sincr then. They cannot risk their lives until things are clearer on the other side."

"Prepare for our descent."

"Come."
