Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5258

Chapter 5258: Overcome All Adversity! II

Multicolored flames erupted from him in incandescent billowing waves that had no interest in being contained by the tree’s canopy or the surrounding air or any other intervening medium!

They came from the core of him, from his Galdr Source, from his Infinity, from everything that could accurately be called himself, and they burned through his existence not as destruction but as its opposite.

Any injury to his Source healed. Any fatigue dissolved. Any weakness in his foundations reinforced itself from the inside out, the flames finding the places that had given under the sustained hunting of the past hour and restoring them to something better than they had been before the hunting had found them. His existence was one step stronger. The step was real, measurable, and had cost him nothing except the utterance.

Oh!

This was the thing!

|THE Primordial Tongue- First Letter Accessed: Persevere.|

|Connection to THE Primordial Source established at foundational level. Access at this stage is limited to the letter Persevere and the capabilities it carries. Further letters require further development.|

|Quantified effects of Persevere: Immediate restoration of Source injuries upon utterance. Immediate dissolution of accumulated fatigue. Reinforcement of current foundational strength to a state exceeding the pre-utterance baseline. No ceiling on the reinforcement effect has been identified, the letter appears to scale with the strength of the Source uttering it.|

|Standard cost: Persevere draws from the Source of the being uttering it. The letter empowers while depleting. For the Galdr Source creatures you defeated, this produced a diminishing cycle, each utterance empowered them while depleting the reserve needed for the next utterance, until the reserve was insufficient to sustain another cycle.|

|Error logged. Reclassifying as basal function.|

|The latent weavings of THE Cheating Architect, THE Protagonist, and Perpetual Harvest are deeply entrenched within your Source. They have excluded themselves from the cost calculation of Persevere, which means they have excluded everything in your existence that connects to them. The Source cost of uttering Persevere has been redirected away from most other things comprising your Source.|

|What remains to pay the cost is your Infinity.|

|Your Infinity will pay the cost of a letter that heals you, reinforces you, and elevates your foundational strength beyond its prior state.|

|Infinity pays for your perseverance.|

BOOM!

Noah’s body shook from the full-body response of a being receiving information that reorganized the significance of everything around it simultaneously. His Primus Apeiron form across the Collapsed Transcendent Conceptual Fold was burning with the same recognition at the same moment. Every body he occupied shook, briefly, in unison!

Haha, what?

WHAT?!

He had watched Galdr Source beasts deploy Persevere and diminish with each usage, the cost depleting the very reserve the letter was supposed to protect, the tragedy of it being the diminishing return embedded in the mechanism. He had factored this into his understanding of what gaining Persevere would mean for him.

He had not factored his most unique weavings deciding they had opinions about the matter.

His cost was Infinity.

Fucking Infinity!

Eon came toward him across the canopy branch with urgency, her expression carrying the worry of someone who had watched a being they were invested in physically shake without obvious cause.

"I’m fine," he said. "I’m very fine."
