Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4384

Chapter 4384: The Civilization of Mana! V

Noah turned to face this anomaly fully, his perception focusing on her with renewed intensity.

She was much more complex than how she presented herself.

The sarcasm, the attitude...all of it masked something else.

He looked out at the vast Civilization spread below them, the floating structures and towers and millions of beings all carrying his Way of Existence.

"I thought of many possibilities that could arise from this Civilization," he said quietly. "Mutations. Changes in approach. Refinements of Glyphs, new Glyphs..."

His gaze returned to Riya.

"I did not expect an anomaly at your level."

She smiled at these words and nodded.

Then she sighed, her expression becoming more serious.

"I did say I was taking you to a place designed for your advancement," she said softly. "But really... you’re looking at it. You’re looking at her."

...!

As she spoke those words, her body pulsed with sudden brilliance.

Around her form, the aura of glorious Principles bloomed into existence...and it was three distinct signatures of authority!

And each one blazed with concentrated essence of pure Mana.

Noah’s gaze sharpened immediately.

Riya stood slowly, her form radiating power as she gestured at the first Principle...a light that shone blue-gold, pulsing with rhythmic intensity.

"Principle exist in nature. We don’t make them, we don’t design them. We discover them, and we can maybe at most tweak them. Inside a Civilization built around Mana, I was able to discover, gain access to, and nurture Principles without having met the heavy requirements of The Way of The Mana Architect. I’m that fucking good, Ancestor."

HUUM!

"This one," she said, "I call the Principle of Primus Ascension."

The blue-gold light intensified in response to her attention.

"When in an active state, this Principle enhances the flow, density, and potency of Mana by transforming it into Primus Mana...an elevated form that carries approximately 10 times the effectiveness of normal Mana in all applications."

Her jewel-blue eyes gleamed.

"Keeping this Principle active costs Mana continuously. For most beings, even those with vast reserves, maintaining it long-term would be prohibitively expensive. But for the legendary Ancestor who has Infinite Mana..."

She smiled knowingly.

"You’ll simply get an all-around improvement with zero cost. Every technique, every Glyph, every application of your authority...all of it operating at 10x effectiveness permanently."

She paused, her expression becoming more serious.

"This Principle sits above Grand Principles in the hierarchy. Only I have access to it, with a single exception clause built into its fundamental nature: someone who possesses more Mana than me could theoretically claim it. Which was... impossible this whole time, right?"

Her smile turned mischievous.

"Until you arrived, Little Ancestor, with your Infinite Mana."

Noah stared at the blue-gold light.

’A Principle that elevates Mana to a superior form. It sits slightly below Perpetual Harvest in weight...’

He speculated as he gave it a thorough look, RUIN/EDEN’s prompts already flashing in the background as she began to analyze everything.

He was looking at the one who was able to nurture such a wonder by herself.

His fascination must have shown on his face, because Riya’s smile widened before she gestured at the second Principle.

This one shone blue-purple, its light carrying a quality of dominance that made the surrounding mana instinctively orient itself toward the glow.

"This one," Riya said, her voice taking on almost reverent tones, "I call the Principle of Mana Supremacy."

The blue-purple light pulsed with authority.

"Its function is straightforward but profound: the supremacy of Mana over all other weavings of Existence. It allows for the transformation of any authority...any concept, any power, any fundamental force...into Mana-based variations."

She gestured, and illusory examples bloomed around them.

"Living Existential Authority becomes Living Existential Mana Authority. Living Paradoxical Authority becomes Living Paradoxical Mana Authority. Living Quantum becomes Living Quantum Mana. Living Spirit becomes Living Spirit Mana."

Her eyes blazed with the weight of what she was describing.

"All variations of authority...every fundamental force, every conceptual framework, every power structure...transformed under the banner of Mana. The most grand depiction of supremacy and purity that Mana can achieve."

She paused.

"This Principle sits above all other Grand Principles in terms of transformative capability, but it’s still designated as such because key members of our Civilization could potentially obtain it. It’s not singular like some others...it can be held by multiple beings, though the transformation it provides scales with the wielder’s Existence."

...!

Noah’s mind pulsed with implications!

A Principle to alter everything under the banner of Mana!

Oh!

The thought cascaded through his consciousness.

’My core concepts...Veritarch, Quintessence, Tyranny, Cheats, Protagonist... what would they become if reborn with Mana at their fundamental core?’

’Tyrannical Mana Authority. Quintessential Mana Essence...’

This one’s light was different...pure blue.

"And this one," Riya said, her voice dropping to become almost solemn, "I call the Principle of Arcana Infinitum."

The pure blue light pulsed, and Noah felt appetite radiating from it. The desire to transform, to convert, to break down and rebuild according to specific parameters.

"This Principle is meant to allow you to break down and devour anything for the sake of Mana advancement. Not just beings or resources...anything. Creatures that are 5 Quintillion Complexity and Purity below you? Normally they’d give you nothing meaningful. With this Principle, they can be burned as fuel to power your Way."

"All for the sake of smoothing out any hardships on this path. Forming more and more Glyphs gets exponentially harder after the first 10,000, yes? Even with the Ancestor’s Infinite Mana, there’s a complexity ceiling where each new Glyph requires more time."

"It’s meant to be a knife to cut through any obstacle you might encounter on the path to sufficient power. To ensure that no limitation...not complexity ceilings, not Glyph formation difficulties, not theoretical understanding gaps...can slow your advancement when time is the one resource we lack."

"This is what I prepared for you. Please. Please, use it to save us all."
