Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4580

Chapter 4580: The Chicken Or The Egg? I

Existence was paradoxical by nature.

There were countless such paradoxes woven throughout the fabric of reality, and the one entity standing tall and paradoxical above all others was unique even among the extraordinary.

Inside THE Loom, in that paradoxical region filled with incomprehensible wonder, THE Living Paradox floated with deep contemplation as his eyes perceived far too many things simultaneously.

Many misunderstood him. Many misunderstood his fundamental nature and his true ambitions. Even those within THE Loom itself, even the tiny False THE and Pre-THE entities who served his purposes, Even THE...only a select few knew his actual goals. And no others, not even Emotive who stood closest to his confidence, knew his true, TRUE ambitions that lay beneath even those surface objectives.

THE Loom was a grand construct of staggering complexity. Few entities across existence knew that it was actually a weapon, not merely a domain or territory. A weapon directed against The Belly of Existence itself, aimed squarely at THE Creature with calculated precision.

It was an attack and weapon that spanned from The Earliest Folds and even slightly before that primordial era, extending all the way to the current time period. And even that description barely scratched the surface of intricacies that others could not begin to fathom. Some even thought they were its Architects when they were merely led to it!

His enemy was THE Creature, after all, so he had to prepare extensively and with meticulous care. One single slip up, one moment of carelessness, and he would be utterly destroyed without possibility of recovery.

Which was precisely why he had left behind so many layered countermeasures across existence. At the mere sign of a possibility, at even the potential of a countermeasure being triggered as an alarm bell, he would immediately follow up to investigate and respond.

And now, he had to follow up on something unexpected.

When it came to the events unfolding outside of THE Loom in the collapsed former Transcendent Paradoxical Folds, he had so far been relaxing, enjoying the spectacle, and playing around with indirect influence. But might it be time to get genuinely serious about intervention?

A profound silence spread through the paradoxical sea like ripples across still water.

And Paradox, who had been relaxing in languid repose on a throne of endless seas of paradox that lay above existence itself, shifted his body with deliberate motion.

He moved from being laid back in casual observation, and sat upright with focused attention.

He merely sat upright.

But this simple action alone should terrify even THE Fundamental Depth of Absolute Sovereignty entities if they could perceive it occurring.

Because when Paradox decided to sit up and pay attention, existence itself trembled!

Oh!

In The Infinite Unfurling, deep within Ginnungagap’s ancient territory on the shores of The Primordial Genesis Shore, Noah floated downward with tremendous sense of exuberance after speaking his first ever Phoneme.

His first true letter of The First Tongue.

His entire existence felt utterly ecstatic at this moment as an array of prompts flashed before his enhanced vision with detailed information.

|Phoneme Learned: Fire (Primordial Combustion)|

|Current Mastery Level: Novice Speaker (1st Tier)|

|Mastery Progression: Novice Speaker, Fluent Speaker, Perfect Speaker|

|At Novice Speaker: Can speak Phoneme with basic accuracy, drawing upon Grand Principles|

|At Fluent Speaker: Can speak Phoneme with refined accuracy, potentially drawing upon a nearby Singularity Principles|

|THE Organ of Civilization is advancing|

|The Parenchyma within THE Organ of Civilization are now being forged.|

Noah observed all of these grand prompts with analytical interest, but instead of focusing entirely on his advancement metrics, he looked down toward the figures of Ul’moreth and THE Fisherman standing on the shore below.

He floated downward gradually as he could feel the hairy figure of Ul’moreth smiling at him beneath all that obscuring hair. But he had also picked up something concerning with his enhanced perception during the earlier conversation.

|I heard mentions of dangers? References to The Others? What exactly is this referring to?|
