Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5451

Chapter 5451: What’s The Point? I

THE Great Usurper drifted silent in his borrowed body, hundreds of Unity-bound Gilded Ones floating dim around him, and for once the being who spread himself through the minds of others had nothing to say through any of them.

And Thalassarch Nereon coiled through the dark in his vast grief-warped immensity, looking at the scattered bubbles and the empty black, and the leviathan recognized what he was seeing with a terrible, complete intimacy. A protector, powerful past reason, floating in the ruins of the thing he had failed to protect. Nereon had lived this exact moment once, alone in a dead ocean, and he had spent ages drowning in it. Watching it happen to the being who had resuscitated his grave, the Drowned Sovereign felt something he had thought long extinct in himself. It was the oldest kind of pity, the kind that came from knowing the road ahead.

THE Creature’s obsidian flames billowed with unfathomable coldness.

He said nothing either, but the dark around his burning frame had dropped to a stillness that made even the Gaps feel warmer by comparison. His birthplace was gone.

He thought of THE Infinite Unfurling. THE Earliest Folds. His Early Veiled Shore. THE Living Existences. THE Wyld.

He thought...of many, many things.

The place where Existence itself had first risen out of a Bounded thing, eaten by a flower, and THE Egoic Intent of Existence had felt every mouthful. Whatever THE Creature was deciding inside that cold, it was being decided slowly, and completely, and it would not be undecided!

And at the center of it all, Noah floated.

He held every bubble steady. He kept every survivor breathing. His Osmontian Source Infinity ran flawless and unwavering through all of it, because his power had not failed, his power had done everything power could do. That was the precise shape of the wound. He had been strong enough to save everyone he could reach and not strong enough to matter, and the distance between those two things was where he now floated, motionless, staring at nothing.

Then a small voice reached him, threading across his bodies from far away in the Gaps, from the body that traveled with his family.

"Mister Noah??" Seo-yeon asked quietly. "Why did Existence go quiet? Why is Chernobyl going quiet?!"

HUUM!

...!

She felt dying Observable Existences the way other children felt thunderstorms. Somewhere out in the dark she had sensed a vastness simply stop, two vastnesses, and she was asking him to explain it, the way children asked the adults they trusted to explain the world!

Noah opened his mouth across that distant body, and found nothing there.

He had answers for Mesozoic Ealdor and Source queens and patient ancient liars. He had answers for everything existence had ever thrown at him, and he had no answer prepared for a child asking why the existence was going quiet!
