Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4779

Chapter 4779: Leaders and Kings III

Her obsidian-blue eyes found his.

"You Four... THE Four... always want more. Fucking insatiable monsters you are."

The words landed like accusations.

"It almost makes me wonder why you all were the ones to lay the claims, when all you do is change things again and again. When all you do is make things harder for everyone who has to live with the consequences of your decisions."

She exhaled slowly.

"We... those of us here in THE Agora of Primordial Judgment... and in other places like this... we exist to act as glue. To hold a few critical things together."

Her voice grew colder.

"The Primordial Realms are a unique part of Observable Existence. They share the secrets of its emergence. The foundations upon which everything else was built. Ginnungagap. Muspelheim. Alfheimr. Jotunheim. All of them connected through Nexus Points that predate the modern understanding of reality."

She stared at the artificial sky with something that might have been hatred.

"We are bound to places like this forever precisely because you Four exist and do the things that you do."

The second Kronos’s Crystallized Moment reached Noah’s waiting hand.

"We all... hate you all so, so much."

The words were spoken with the casualness of stating objective fact.

"But it is a unique hate. I do not hate what you stand for, for example. The First Tongue is beautiful. Mana is necessary. Chaos has its place. Paradox... well, Paradox is Paradox."

Her smile became something sharp and wounded.

"But the things you all do are so detestable. And they bring us all ever closer to extinction. All for the sake of..."

She paused.

"Higher Scales."

The word hung in the air.

"Scales."

Repeated with growing venom.

"Scales."

And again.

"Scales."

Her voice dropped to something barely above a whisper.

"Man, fuck you all and your Scales."

...!

BOOM!

The words landed with weight that exceeded their apparent simplicity!

Noah held the second Kronos’s Crystallized Moment in his hand, feeling its temporal authority pulse against his palm.

Higher Scales.

THE Four pursuing something beyond their current positions.

And beings like Glossikos paying the price for that pursuit.

He looked at this Absolute who had just cursed him and everything he represented, and he found that he didn’t have an immediate response.

Because what could he say?

He was pursuing Higher Scales himself.

He was changing things again and again.

He was, by her definition, exactly the kind of insatiable monster she described.

And yet...

He swallowed the second Kronos’s Crystallized Moment.

Because regardless of what she thought, regardless of what any of them thought...

He would not stop.

He could not stop.

The powerless were ground to dust in the endless weavings of time.

And he refused to be powerless.

"Are you going to tell me any concrete details, or keep the air of mystery? I’ve gotten the information that you all are bound here and protect this place."

"Who are you protecting it from? Besides THE Four, what else is there that only Absolutes know about?"

"Maybe we are protecting it from the likes of you. The disruptors and chaotic things all of you are."

"I actually ponder every day how all signs point to THE Primordial Chaos being the strongest. Because all of you bring so much chaos that he can only benefit. And yet THE Creature and THE Living Paradox did their own designs to somehow keep their edge."

"Ah, it doesn’t matter to you now. You won’t be able to do anything now. You need to be an Absolute, otherwise it is meaningless."
