Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5466

Chapter 5466: Emperor! I

Noah read the prompts with shining eyes. Every capability of the Heart struck at Trueness, the one axis where THE Sealed One’s followers and vessels and engineered Gilded were all, without exception, hollow. His enemy had built an empire on installed identities.

The woman in his arms had just become a counter to every one of them, and she had done it by refusing, her entire existence, to install anything at all.

She would be a sharp weapon against Gilded Ones and Followers of THE Sealed One!

The prompts faded over the black water, and Emotive moved.

She lifted her head from his chest, slow and unhurried, and looked up at him. The mania in her eyes had not gone anywhere, would never go anywhere, but it sat inside something settled now, a whole identity wrapped around the storm, and her voice came out quiet and completely steady.

"I...give you my Everything," Emotive said. "My heart. My emotions. My very self and my sense of being. Everything." Her smile trembled!

HUUM!

Then she took his lips, courageously, before any part of her could lose its nerve.

And around them, over the obsidian river in the endless dark, the Intents of two True Lifeforms blazed together, cerulean and amaranthine, terrifying waves of identity rolling out across the region and lighting the black currents for gigaparsecs, two seamless truths burning side by side while a transformed heart kept its impossible beat inside the being who held her.

Noah held Emotive against his chest on the black river, her transformed Heart beating inside him, and he was feeling everything.

He meant that literally. It was worth being precise about!

He was feeling emotions of himself...and countless others!

No, not counltess others. Countless other humans!

Three things had combined to make it possible. The HUMAN Letter burned in the foundation of his Tongue, permeating him and THE Infiniverse through his Cause. THE Amaranthine Heart of the Unfelt Depths sat within his Osmontian Source Infinity, an organ built entirely of felt emotion. And between the Letter and the Heart, a channel had opened that neither could have opened alone. The Letter designated. The Heart translated. His Cause carried the signal. Remove any one of the three, and the whole thing collapsed.

The designation was the key, and the designation came down to a definition he had written himself.

A human, by Noah’s definition, was a brief, highly organized pattern holding itself together against existence that ran downhill. A complexity deep enough to experience itself. A thing built from relationships all the way down, radiating heat and disorder outward to keep its small light lit. Nothing in the definition mentioned flesh. Nothing in it mentioned species. That had been deliberate, though even Noah hadn’t guessed where the deliberateness would lead.

Because a definition, written into a foundational Tongue, wasn’t a description. It was a rule. And rules got applied.

All of them were human. And at this moment, Noah began to feel them.
