Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse-Chapter 3704: Transform or Break I
Arthur, the Sea of Ash, howled in grief and fury. His body exploded into a massive gray ash sea that surged outward to cover everything.
The Witness tore off his blindfold- clear white eyes with no vision gleamed beneath.
And even then…
A Symphony of Death erupted and unfurled.
The Infinite Ravines trembled. Horrific tears bloomed, stretching out across Existence like a painting being shredded.
Like a doorway being broken- a rake rending apart everything.
The singular Gateway Domus ruptured with cascading tears, becoming torn and unmade, as the weavings of the Wheel of Existence and the Frequencies within it… were laid bare to all.
Noah closed his eyes.
Now, there was no going back.
Quintessence seethed and exploded.
Infinity, Cheats, and Paradox would soon follow!
But as of this moment, the goals changed to containment…and survival!
—
The Infinite Ravines tore like paper.
It was utterly terrifying- an entire doorway ripped apart in the span of an instant.
The power to accomplish such a thing… it defied imagination.
This wasn't simply a mark of power or complexity within the stages of Resplendent Monad or Converged Architect.
No, it was something far beyond, something that could not be grasped unless one stood at a similar pinnacle of existence.
At this moment, within the Prime Frequency of Wisdom.
RIIP!
The Infiniverse Megalos lifted her head above the vast Expanse of this Frequency, her fingers radiating quintillions upon quintillions of connections that surged outward, instantly rechanneling the source of Entities to herself and Noah's Living Wheel.
The Eldritch Expanse let itself run rampant. Absolute Unidemic Existence Pathogenesis erupted, washing over this Frequency.
Even the Infiniverse, beholding the tears in reality, found herself questioning this piece of her Master.
|You won't brag and claim your path was right?|
She addressed the swaying presence of Eldritch Expanse, the one that had once tried to bind all things under its rule.
But now… it remained silent. It had become a True Source of Existence within the Living Wheel.
Its power, instead of shrinking, became more profound- more horrifying.
And then, this part of Noah replied.
"Even I did not expect this, so I cannot claim anything."
The Eldritch Expanse remained calm amid the storm.
The Infiniverse nodded slowly, her gaze lifting to the sky- to the Infinite Ravines bleeding into the Frequencies of the Wheel.
|Master, for the sake of time, we may grant more leeway to the Eldritch Expanse. Its Absolute Frequency Ontopathogenesis can be used to spread our weavings swiftly.|
…!
Ontopathogenesis.
The power to infect Existence itself—and now it bore the label: [Absolute Frequency].
The Infiniverse requested permission, and it was granted.
And then…
|The True Source of Veritarch imposes itself on the Eldritch Expanse and asks why.|
|…|
The Last System of Existence asked a question.
Why.
An unbearable question.
And yet, the Eldritch Expanse answered.
|For endless proliferation.|
HUUM!
An answer was given.
A heartbeat passed.
And then...
|Veritarch accepts the Why of Eldritch Expanse.|
|Absolute Frequency Ontopathogenesis has been elevated to Absolute Wheel Ontopathogenesis.|
…!
|Ah…|
Even the Infiniverse was genuinely stunned. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
She gazed into the depths of her Master where Veritarch stirred, stretching its ancient limbs.
If only there had been more time.
If only Veltraxis and the other Mawbearers had not appeared.
If only the 9th Mawbearer of the Dissonant Echo had remained absent.
If only…
|There are too many ifs…|
The Infiniverse shook her head, tethering herself more closely to her Master.
And she closed her eyes.
Another fragment of her was already drifting across the golden sea, beyond the True Frequency of the Singed, approaching a dazzling golden-white Wheel.
The Wheel spun faster, as if sensing something.
Calmly, she traversed the boundless waters, coming infinitely close to the Wheel of Existence itself.
She had made a promise to save it before its last Breaking- to become a Wheel herself, to gain the strength to bypass the fate that had halted this one.
But so much had changed in so little time. The promise… now felt impossible to uphold.
It was a lesson.
She looked at the distant Wheel that felt so close now- close enough to touch.
And she whispered.
|I cannot incorporate you into myself as I did with so many others.|
…!
She had done it before.
She had devoured entire worlds in her youth- when she had been no more than a spiritual land. Universes. Cosmos. Domains of Existence.
All consumed.
But not now.
Not anymore.
Since Omniverse X-999, she had fought to keep her Purity- knowing, somehow, that she would need it.
That if she were to ever succeed… she could not be tainted.
That was why, after the Witness had spoken, she and Noah had turned away, refusing to act upon the Wheel of Existence.
To absorb it… would mean contamination.
To devour it… would mean sealing her own fate- never moving forward.
|I cannot devour you, but to prepare for all outcomes and the countless lives you've protected for eons, I will send my weavings through your Frequencies. I will alter the source from which they draw… so they may find a bastion should the worst come to pass.|
…!
The Worst.
If the Wheel of Existence were breached.
If the Wheel of Existence were broken.
They were preparing for that possibility.
And as the Infiniverse spoke, a thunderous hum erupted from the Wheel.
A signal. A plea.
The Infiniverse blinked, then nodded.
|If you wish to undergo your final Transformation now, I will lend you my Purity. My Master, who has already forged a Living Wheel, will lend his power. But know this, your chances of survival are infinitesimally low. I have not yet reached the point where I can guarantee your survival.|
…!
She made the risk clear.
HUUM!
The Wheel responded.
It would proceed regardless.
For it had no more time left.
|…|
The Infiniverse stood still for a moment.
Then she nodded, lifting her hands and closing her eyes.
She reached out, connecting with her Master.
And she invoked power with unmatched brilliance.
|Absolute Wheel Ontopathogenesis.|
…!
Black and white threads unfurled from her hands.
They surged into the spinning Wheel of Existence and met with no resistance- as the threads flooded into the unknown number of Spokes within.
Countless Channelers, drawn together under one banner.
And simultaneously, a Wheel chose to undergo its final Transformation.
A leap toward ascension… or toward annihilation.
For if it failed, it would become a Dead Wheel of Existence.
And all those still tethered to it would share its fate.
