Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5300

Chapter 5300: Enjoy The Little Things I

He was doing too many things simultaneously, and he was doing all of them well, and he found...well, he found neither of these facts surprising.

This was the nature of what he had become. Not a single being moving through a single context, but a distributed existence operating across multiple domains at once, each body carrying enough of him to act with full presence while the broader awareness connected them into a coherent whole.

The battle with THE Creature and Calypso continued in THE Early Veiled Shore, the impacts booming across the domain in a rhythm that had become the background condition of THE Infiniverse’s current existence.

The Prime Exelissomai reinforcement waves descended on their schedule. The threshold continued its approach.

He was also watching the Gilded Ones.

This was the thing that occupied the most vigilant portion of his broader awareness, the thread he kept returning to between all other considerations.

They had deployed the Ealdor-class Existential Acedia Ordnances against the lower Observable Existence with the calm efficiency of beings administering a solution to a problem, and they would come down eventually to assess the results of their solution.

They would want confirmation that the outcome matched the intended outcome. They would want to see the Existential Acedia Dredges in place and the Causal Stilling holding and everything organized according to their design.

He was waiting for this with the specific patience of someone who had already decided what they were going to do with the opportunity when it arrived.

In the meantime, he had another body in the isolated domain within THE Infiniverse.

---

The isolated domain was small by THE Infiniverse’s standards, a contained space separated from the main substrate with clean edges and deliberate simplicity, its floor carrying the same golden warmth as THE Early Veiled Shore because that was the material he had used to construct it.

The booming exchanges of the Arms Race could be heard even here, arriving through the substrate as a rhythmic percussion.

He had been refining both figures of THE Great Usurper and Alexander within it for hours, his Osmontian Absolute Infinity running through their foundations with the steady thoroughness of a process that didn’t announce its increments but produced them regardless.

THE Great Usurper blinked.

The body of Abaddon, which had been seated in the contained space with the stillness of a being in deep internal process, moved. The eyes that had been flat with the silver-gold of full conversion focused, the cognizance returning to them in the way that cognizance returned to something that had never fully left but had been redirected entirely inward.

He smiled.

"Sorry I couldn’t reply back then." THE Great Usurper’s voice came out with a warm devilish quality.

"I could hear you. But I couldn’t reply because my entire existence had to be focused on the weavings of the Existential Acedia Ordnances and the Existential Acedia Ego Authority they held."

He laughed, and the laugh held an edge that it hadn’t held before.

"These Gilded Fuckers built a mechanism to control every single existence they nuked with these weapons. To manage that, there had to be a channel between them and the authority they utilized. Every single Dredge they affected has no cognizance, nothing but obedience through this channel."

He paused, and the pause carried the weight of a being who had found something extraordinary inside a catastrophe.

"But if there is someone like me who can remain idle with his existence, retaining a trace of cognizance, when paired with Unity..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He laughed again, madder this time.

"Haha. Haha!"

Noah’s eyes were shining.

"What did you manage to do?" Noah asked.

"The link travels up to the entity who designed these weapons. An Ealdor Gilded One, among others. He spread the authority down to 81 Fourth Scale Acedia Gilded Ones, who then passed it down to 729 Third Scale Acedia Gilded Ones."

"The ones who would be managing this place right now are a few dozen Third Scale Acedia Gilded Ones and some Fourth Scale. And through this connection that they expect absolutely nothing from the Dredges..."

"...I have been slowly spreading my Unity across these dozens of Third Scale Gilded Ones first. I had to be careful. Supremely careful! These are powerful existences. But if I remain silent enough, if I remain deadly enough..."

"My existence is already surging as I spread into multiple Gilded Ones, and if I can use these same connections to reach a Fourth Scale one..."

"There is no need to cure me, Big Guy. Unity will take care of everything. I do not need to be cured. I can embrace this and the Acedia who control it. Leave the Acedia side of Gilded Ones to me. All of them! Haha, all of them! I will bring them to their knees. They...will know Unity!"

BOOM!

The Great Usurper laughed madly!
