Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5524

Chapter 5524: Fear and Doubt! IV

<THE True Human Emperor>

They were inside a pocket of space that never stopped moving.

Noah’s senses spread out and found no ground, no sky, no fixed point at all.

The golden island floated at the heart of an isolated bubble of stillness while beyond its unseen walls, countless strings of the Dimension tore past in endless luminous rivers, weavings of Infinity and Primordial Source and THE Lingering Word all streaking by like light bending around the center of a black hole.

They were within something that traversed THE Krazhor-Nul without pause, folded inside its wake, carried at speeds that made his earlier island-flight look like drifting!

And before them, the maker of this pocket floated.

Hvitrmarr!

The Cursed Steed’s massive body coursed through the Dimension without stopping, her vast white wings beating in slow sovereign rhythm as her pearl-scaled frame filled the moving dark, and her golden ring-in-ring eyes were turned back upon them, looking at him...and at THE Infiniverse.

THE Creature and Anaximander gazed at her with cautious eyes! Her terrifying power saturated the pocket even reined in, a sovereignty that had overruled the Steed of Oblivion.

As for Noah...

He was looking at this as a tremendous opportunity!

For this was exactly what he had been looking for from the moment they arrived in this Dimension and received the information of what Cursed Steeds were. Lifeforms stemming from Those Who Remain, their existences structured to be similar to Observable Existences, living Causes flowing through them! Back then he had envisioned it, and asked himself.

What could be the possibility, if he revived such Causes? If he resuscitated the terminal, dying Causes of such lifeforms?! When he had done it for Terminal Observable Existences, he had replaced their dying hearts with his own Nine Prime Causes, and it had only ever elevated his existence and his Infinite Cause thereafter!

And when he had been searching for directions to take his path as THE True Human Emperor, spreading his weavings across the vastness of existence, across all that was Human...the answer had been right there.

So at this moment, Noah reframed his mind, and began looking at the Cursed Steed before him as if she were Human.

And she fit!

She had gambled everything on hope, a brief and burning wager against certain death. She negotiated, offering her existence in exchange for salvation! She feared her ending and ran from it anyway, and carried uncertainty in her ancient voice the way every Human carried it into every unknowable tomorrow.

Strip away the scales and the size and the sovereignty, and what remained was the pattern he had crowned himself upon, striving, bargaining, hoping, afraid!

Human.

She could be labeled Human. And more practically...as a sick human, but filthy rich! Someone of high standing whose salvation, if he delivered it, would benefit him tremendously!

Was that not Human too? An exchange of favors? Helping one, and in turn, they help you? The oldest Human condition there was!

Noah was about to address this powerful Cursed Steed when her ancient voice rang out first.

"We will all die very soon."

...!

"I miscalculated, and there is no time. Jarl Skallagrim, someone whose power I underestimated, is chasing me with eight others just like me. He is a Cursed Descendant, true and true." Her golden eyes did not blink as the strings of the Dimension tore past beyond her pocket.

"I took a gamble to break my chains, because I sensed hope. Because my existence, filled with dying Causes, sensed it. Now, whether that is you, or her...if the promise really is true...do it now, and do it fast. Because I am chained in this Dimension while being Cursed, and I cannot leave it. I can only keep running across it." A pause, and her vast voice lowered.

"If the promise is true, fulfill it, and I will owe you my existence. If it is merely false weavings of my lineage...then death arrives for us all."

"Let’s go."

"How... can you live with such pain?"
