Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4798

Chapter 4798: THE Youngest Moves First III

An ancient citadel dominated one region of this brutal realm.

The Citadel of Churning Eternities.

It was carved from a glacier that had been frozen since before time learned to count. Its walls were black ice infused with threads of Chaos that made them stronger than any mundane material. Spires rose toward the lightning-filled sky like accusations against the heavens.

Chaos Giants moved across its battlements and through its halls, their massive forms somehow fitting within architecture that seemed too small to contain them.

Inside that grand citadel, elevated above everything else, sat a temple.

The Temple of Temporal Observation.

Its construction defied normal understanding. Parts of it existed in multiple timeframes simultaneously. Its walls showed scenes from past, present, and futures that might or might not occur. The floor was made from crystallized moments, each tile a frozen instant of history.

It was forged specifically for one being!

Inside the temple...

Three figures sat around a bonfire.

But the bonfire was not mere flame.

It was a Fragment of an Axiom.

Burning with authority that transcended normal fire, it cast shadows that moved independently of the light source. It crackled with power that made the air heavy with potential.

Around the three figures, beautiful Chaos Giants moved to serve them.

These were not the brutal warriors of the citadel’s exterior. These were refined, elegant beings whose chaos had been shaped into grace. They carried Sacred Drinks in vessels carved from frozen lightning. They offered Sacred Panaceas on platters made from solidified time.

Out of the three being served here, the most powerful was an entity shrouded by dancing purple flames of time.

THE Living Temporal.

His face was ancient beyond ancient. Lines of accumulated eons carved into features that had witnessed the birth and death of countless civilizations. His eyes were not eyes at all, but windows into the Rivers of Time themselves, purple depths that showed currents flowing in all directions simultaneously.

His hair was silver-white, flowing like temporal streams around a face that held wisdom and cruelty in equal measure. He was neither young nor old, but both and neither, his age existing in superposition.

The aura of an Absolute around him was so heavy that one might mistake him as one of THE Four.

He was not.

But he was close enough that the distinction barely mattered.

When a fucker could mess with time so much, the potential to become powerful was insane.

And the other two near him also radiated auras of Absolutes.

One shone with the multicolored glow of prismatic light. Her eyes burned like prisms, refracting everything she looked at into component spectrums.

THE Living Quantum!

The other had silver brilliance surrounding him completely, making his entire body hazy. He existed in multiple locations simultaneously, his form never quite settling into a single position!

THE Living Dimensional.

At this moment, their heads were raised high.

They looked at the imposing pillar of obsidian-gold light that tore across the skies of Jotunheim.

As Absolutes, they had already discerned what that sign meant.

Who was killed.

And who had done the killing.

And they were silent because...

"Well..."

THE Living Dimensional was the first to speak.

His voice came deep and resonant, slightly echoing as if arriving from multiple directions at once. His bald head gleamed in the light of the Fragment Axiom bonfire. His thick beard was silver like the rest of him, braided with threads of dimensional energy.

"We set up shop in Jotunheim because you told us that in a possible future timeline, Osmont passes here, Temporal."

He turned toward THE Living Temporal with eyes that held calculated concern.

"But now the question is... do we want to be here when he passes if this freak has already begun killing Absolutes?"

BOOM!

"We do not know the nature of how things unfolded."

"At this time, THE Youngest of THE Four has not yet reached the stage of an Absolute. It would be part of the reasons why he is killing without understanding anything."

"And what an entrance this being is making."

"Not even an Absolute, and yet, he has taken down an Absolute."

"Could any of you have done that before you became Absolutes?"
