Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5583

Chapter 5583: Home! II

As he came to his epiphany, Noah’s existence buzzed, and then he felt a tug.

It was not a vague feeling. Something closely connected to him had answered this exact moment, this potential emergence of the equivalent of his Causes, and the answer was coming from inside THE Infiniverse!

Of course, that made a certain sense. Since his grand change, he had cast out nearly everything he held into her, and he had not once entered. His Provenance Essence and his new standing seemed to be causing something there, in the place where all his old treasures slept!

So he turned to the seer first.

"See the limits of your power," Noah said. "Push at them. And prepare for me any further knowledge you can reach regarding the Descendants, THE Sealed One, and Those Who Remain. I will want all of it when I return."

Ulf bowed his head, and beside him Ryaenara straightened as if the instruction included her, which, in truth, it did.

Then Noah tugged back on the unbreakable connection to THE Infiniverse, and disappeared.

—

He appeared inside an endless sea of blue.

Strings and waves stretched away in every direction without a horizon, currents of deep cerulean light crossing and recrossing through one another, and the immensity of the place pressed in gently from all sides.

This was a core domain of THE Infiniverse, one of her innermost chambers, and only one person was currently in it.

THE Infiniverse herself, in her humanoid form, sat among bubbles.

There were many of them, drifting slowly around her in the blue, and each one held something he had cast out. The Primordial Source turned quietly in one, dense as a swallowed star. His Infinity coiled in another, blue and endless, pressing lightly against its skin. The eighteen Causes drifted in a loose constellation, his nine and Hvitrmarr’s nine, still keeping each other’s company. The Intent, the Pantheon, THE First and Second Infinite Scale, Mana itself. And nearest to her, small and red and beating slowly, THE Amaranthine Heart.

Noah sighed as he looked at it all. An ocean, bottled and shelved, and a caretaker sitting in the middle of it.

Then he turned his gaze to THE Infiniverse herself.

She seemed just as grand as before, if not grander, since his rise had always reflected on her. And yet even she seemed a bit desolate, sitting there in her own depths, staring at the things he had cast out.

She rose when she felt his eyes. She came over to him through the blue, unhurried, and when she reached him she did not bow or report. Instead, she traced one finger along the necklace of bones on his chest, following its curve.

"I inherently know that you would never cast me out, or leave me, or abandon me," she said. "I inherently know this. My thought process, my very existence, is a logical one, and this is cemented within my existence. And yet, when you were casting everything out, even your Infinite Mana... a sense of fear rose within me that does not need to be there, and should not even be possible." Her eyes came up to his.

"So even though I logically understand, and know... can you just reassure me?"

...!

Noah’s gaze softened.

"Even you are displaying more and more human qualities," Noah said, and he was smiling as he said it.

"In relationships, and I have a few, even though they know they have my love, even though they each know the lengths I would go for them, I am constantly still asked. Just how much do you love me? How much do you care? After all this power and immensity you continue to gain, after all the change you go through over time, do you still care the same as before? Do you still look at us the same as before?"

...!

" I have received all these questions and more, and every single one of them is just looking for affirmation. It is a very human quality. And I am happy to see you displaying it. Because if something like you can also be this human, then it means my path is truly going to be a glorious one, and that boundless many things can, and will, be human."

His hand stayed where it was. "No. I would never cast you out. You are my home, and I am yours."

HUUM!
