Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4383

Chapter 4383: The Civilization of Mana! IV

Riya seemed enthusiastic to get started!

Noah stood before the illusory diagram of the Bastion of Mana, his perception drinking in every detail.

One hundred Nodes at minimum 1,000 Quintillion each.

The number alone was staggering because achieving it at scale presented challenges that even he would have to pause at.

Is it even possible to raise that many beings to 1,000 Quintillion before The Fallout arrives?

The thought circled through his consciousness.

He’d been climbing through the Quintillion ranges himself, and the experience had taught him brutal lessons about the limitations inherent in existential advancement.

There was the clear Ceiling that Ruination spoke of in detail!

Not a soft limit that could be pushed through sheer effort...a hard ceiling built into the fundamental weavings of Existence.

Devouring beings at 5 Quintillion Complexity and Purity would only ever get you toward that level. It didn’t matter if you consumed one such being or a thousand...you’d approach 5 Quintillion, but never exceed it through that method alone.

This had been made clear.

Which meant traditional looting and devouring, while effective for early advancement, became increasingly inefficient past certain thresholds!

His own means were more effective.

The Cultivation Citadel of The Early Creature could grant harvests exceeding 5 Quintillion per day if used optimally.

The pressure-based advancement combined with his Principle of Perpetual Harvest created multiplicative effects that showed the glory of his way.

If I could get many in My Civilization to reach the 10 Quintillion threshold sufficient to withstand the Citadel’s pressure, their power would begin rising rapidly.

The strategy formed itself naturally in his mind.

Bring all his Civilization members into the Citadel’s crushing environment, let them grind under impossible weight while Perpetual Harvest amplified their gains, and watch them skyrocket toward the thresholds necessary for the Bastion’s Nodes.

Of course, that assumed they had time!

That assumed The Fallout wouldn’t arrive before sufficient numbers reached necessary power levels.

Too many unknowns. Too many variables he couldn’t control yet.

He turned slightly, his analytical gaze shifting from the diagram to Riya, who stood nearby watching him with intensity.

Her jewel-blue eyes tracked across his form with focus as if she was studying him, or trying to see or confirm something that she was not being entirely clear about.

Their gazes met, and a slow smile spread across Riya’s features.

"Are you checking me out, Ancestor?" she asked.

Before Noah could respond, another voice cut in from the distance.

"Why would the Ancestor want your scrawny ass, Riya?"

...!

Behind them, Kael and several other Seed Members materialized as they had been close behind.

An older woman floated among them, her form blazing with 50 Quintillion Complexity.

She looked at Riya with cold smiling eyes.

Riya’s expression transformed to match hers.

"At least my ’scrawny ass’ reached 61 Quintillion without needing to hide behind the Council’s pathetic complexity cap, Aunty Elina," she said sweetly. "How’s that 50 Quintillion treating you? Still comfortable sitting down there?"

Elina’s face pulsed, her aura buzzing with indignation.

"Why you little..."

"Enough."

Kael’s voice cut through everything.

He floated forward!

"Ancestor," he said, turning to Noah while deliberately ignoring Riya, "this troublemaker should have told you a decent number of things by now. The Repository of Formed Authority and the Bastion of Mana represent just the beginning of what we’ve accomplished."

"With you in the lead, with your Infinite Mana guiding our efforts, what we can accomplish has become infinitely grander. We have systems, techniques, principles...all waiting for the final component that only you can provide."

Noah nodded, his tyrannical gaze sweeping across the assembled Seed Members.

"Yes," he said. "This is just the start. We will take what you all have accomplished here and bring another part of this Civilization...The Infiniverse, to reach this same height."

WAA!

"I’ll take the Ancestor to the place I designed specifically for his advancement. Don’t even try to follow, okay? I’ve blocked off all access."
