Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5468

Chapter 5468: The Painter! I

In Ryaenara’s Dimension of Existence, THE Mirthful Antiquity floated in the dark between her temples and watched her prize grow.

Noah sat inside one of the ancient shrines below, seated in stillness, and she drifted above the still stellar lakes with her perpetual smile in place and a great many calculations running behind it. She was jubilant, and the jubilance had many things under it. As the minutes passed, the silent immensity coming off the being with boundless potential kept increasing, and not in the small increments any framework would predict.

These were jumps. Leaps of power that should have cost years each, landing minute after minute, stacked one on the next as though time had agreed to bill him differently.

How ridiculous was that? How unbelievable?

But she believed it, because she had priced the evidence! This was the entity THE Sealed One wanted as a vessel, and that ancient thing did not covet casually. Her own Gu had exploded confirming his potential, all nine wings lit, an instrument older than the Scales overloaded by a single reading. She needed what he was more than he realized, and every impossible jump she felt only confirmed how correct the needing had been.

Then... it happened.

HUUM!

A unique and grand sense of power erupted from his seated body, and it reached across her own dimension and touched her, and Ryaenara’s existence buzzed. Her Intent buzzed. Her Trueness itself buzzed, the deep seamless core of an Antiquity vibrating like a struck string, and in the same instant the words arrived, spoken to every True thing in Existence at once!

|THE True Human Emperor has emerged.|

...!

Out of all the True Lifeforms across existence who heard that announcement, ancient things in inverted oceans and golden stairways and temples at the roots of mountains and so many more, every one of them wondering who, exactly one being connected the dots in the same breath. Because exactly one being had felt the eruption of the Distinction’s aura while looking directly at the person responsible.

Ryaenara stared down at the seated figure in her temple, and her incredulity climbed past anything her long existence had recently produced. A True Distinction!

She did not have a True Distinction. She had lived ages beyond counting, gathered power past the Scales entirely, and existence had never once signed its name under anything she was.

"Fuck!"

The curse escaped her before her composure could catch it, and below, Noah’s eyes opened.

He looked up at her calmly, reining in the grand regal aura leaking off his body the way a man tucks in a shirt, and the two of them regarded each other across the still dimension in perfect silence. She floated there having just cursed out loud. He sat there having just been crowned by existence. Neither of them said anything at all. The silence stretched, and kept stretching, and acquired a quality that in lesser company might have been called awkward.

"We’ve already come to a mutual decision," Ryaenara said finally. "I help you against THE Sealed One, and you help me. That holds. But as I understand more and more about you...."

She paused, and the struggle showed one last time before settling. "I cannot tell you many things. But I can show you something else. Something critical to me, so you understand why I do what I do. I confirmed your boundless potential with my own tools. Now I’ve confirmed your True Distinction with my own eyes, and that Distinction, that particular Distinction, seems to mean..." She stopped, and started again, simpler. "Let me show you why. Let me show you why I do what I do."
