Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5371

Chapter 5371: Records and Knowledge II

Riya leaned down further, and took his lips, and held there with a sense of profound serenity.

Another body stood in another domain.

He held Seo-yeon’s hand, and the little girl had a worried look on her face, staring up at him, because she had felt the horrific aura he had pulled her away from.

She had felt the cleaved hand from the safe distance he had flung her to, and she had not understood it, only that it was terrible, and that her Mister Noah had been standing in front of it when he sent her away.

"I’m okay," he told her, crouching to her level. "I promise. Don’t worry about me. I’m strong, remember? Stronger than that. It didn’t get me." He let her see his face, see that it was whole and calm.

"But right now, I want you to meet a few people. Is that all right?"

...!

Seo-yeon nodded, the worry not gone but set aside, and he led her into a domain filled with plots of Infinite Sacred Herbs.

It was a working place, a quiet one. Henry was there, blue-gold hair catching the light, tending a row of herbs with the unhurried focus of someone who had found the work suited him.

Amelia worked nearby, Noah’s mother, THE Origin of his Infinite Cause, her power risen tremendously since the emergence and her hands still in the soil all the same.

Adelaide was there, and Barbatos beside her, the two of them at the mundane patient labor of farming, the kind of labor that grounds beings who have seen too much. And Skoll lay in the sun between the plots until he caught Noah’s scent and came bounding over, barking, his whole body wagging, and the noise made everyone look up.

Noah patted Skoll, and everyone gazed at Seo-yeon in shock.

Barbatos found her voice first. She pointed a finger at Noah, her face filling with playful anger, and started to speak.

"You...!" she said. "You. You absolute...! You...!!!"

Before she could finish accusing him of fathering a child none of them had heard about, Noah looked at all of them and headed it off.

"I want to introduce you to Seo-yeon," he said. "She was bearing the pain of an entire Observable Existence by herself. Holding its endings back so the people inside it wouldn’t die, for longer than I can comfortably think about. I freed her, and I brought her here." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He looked down at the girl.

"Seo-yeon, why don’t you go meet Grandma Amelia and the others? You can show off if you like them. Give them a Blessing or two."

Seo-yeon blinked, looking from face to face, shy in a way she had not been shy around Relictus or Mesozoic Scale beings, because none of those had been a family looking at her with soft eyes.

And then Amelia moved.

She took a single step and appeared in front of Seo-yeon, instantly, and she pulled the little girl into a tight embrace. Her eyes came up to Noah over the top of the child’s head, full of concern, full of a question she needed answered before she would let herself believe it.

"Are you exaggerating," she asked him, "when you say she bore the pain of an entire Observable Existence?"

Noah shook his head. No exaggeration. Not a word of it!

Amelia’s face filled with motherly concern, and she pulled Seo-yeon tighter, and she lowered her voice for the child alone.

"It’s all right now," she said. "You’re in a good place. There’s no more holding anything back here, you hear me? You’re done with all that. You’re home."

BOOM!

This was his record.

His record was his. So his Intent was his.

Did a thing like that have to carry any ranking that others had decided on?
