Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 3734: Unquestionably True! II

In the violet sea of Entropy, where Noah sat with his son, his figure radiated majesty, wrapped in a semi-crescent ring of blue-gold clouds, swirling with regality and quiet tyranny.

Above him, a dazzling crown of stellar clouds bloomed into existence- trillions of runic, blue-gold infinity symbols floating in perfect synchronicity. It hovered above his head like it had always belonged there.

The stellar blue gold clouds pulsed with a symphony of light, each ring a song of glory. And Noah wasnʼt alone. His son sat beside him, his presence buzzing with growing immensity as the weavings of the First Tier of Noahʼs True Origin Osmontian Paracausal Lineage began to unfurl around him.

He was the foremost Paracausal Infinitum Veinbearer of all.

His Progeny.

Golden clouds, though slightly less intense, formed around Henry. A crown of golden infinity symbols- billions of them, spiraled into being above his head as his body trembled with newfound power. His Complexity and Purity surged in ways he couldnʼt have imagined just seconds ago.

He looked up at the glowing crown of starlit clouds, then turned his eyes to his father. There was something unspoken in his gaze.

His father had given him everything.

And all Henry wanted was…

”I just… I want to make you proud,” he whispered, voice nearly lost in the sea of violet entropy. They were alone, yet the words came out small, uncertain.

Noah looked at his son, a small sense of sadness flickering in his expression as Henry continued, tears streaming down his cheeks.

”I want to matter. To show you I can be of use. To help you, not just as your son, but as someone who chooses to stand with you. But every time, you always feel just out of reach. Just a bit far. I just…”

Henry stood on the precipice of immense change. A choice of any of his fatherʼs True Sources was his to make. He could become a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon- an entity of staggering Complexity and Purity.

And yet, it wasnʼt power he spoke of.

It was love.

At that moment, Noah placed a hand on his sonʼs shoulder.

”My own child matters more to me than anything else. For not telling you this sooner, Iʼm sorry. For never giving you the words you deserved, Iʼm sorry. You could speak the day you were born… and I never treated you like the child you were.”

…!

”I should have done better. And I will do better. I am endlessly proud of what youʼve accomplished- even with a father like me who steals the very weavings of existence and bends them toward himself. But pride… pride isnʼt the goal. Joy is. Freedom is. Love is. You are my son, and I will give you everything I never had.”

He smiled, soft and filled with serenity.

His own father had given him nothing but life.

He would be better.

”Take your inheritance. Never fear anything from me. As long as you spend time with your mother, care for your grandmother, and treat your woman well—that is all I could ever ask of you. If you want more- combat, ascension, strength...thereʼs a Crucible waiting for you. One you can enter the moment your Lineageʼs Complexity settles.”

…!

His words carried the weight of Omniverses.

And Henry, overwhelmed yet grounded, nodded.

He looked closely at his father one more time before he looked inward.

His mind danced with possibilities. He had once chosen Singed.

But now, he closed his eyes- and sensed the infinite threads his father had laid out before him.

And...

”Infinity,” he said.

...!

And the word changed everything.

A burst of endless blue brilliance exploded from Henry. Complexity and Purity surged from his core, ascending and swelling, devouring the limits that once bound him!

Noah watched with a proud, quiet smile.

He saw the transformation take place- what every entity faced when embracing a True Source. A rewriting of existence.

A realignment of Origin, Body, and Soul to Infinity itself for Henry.

So long as Henry continued to seek resonance with this Source, his Purity would rise.

So long as he explored its infinite faces, his Complexity would deepen.

And now Noah sought to make sense of it all- to give structure to the boundless.

To define power.

He looked at his son, watched as his power surged, and compared them to the Records—both of the Living and the Dead he had annihilated.

And slowly, as only the Weaver of Existence could, Noah wove a system to measure the immeasurable.

|The Quantification System of True Sources, known as the Source Quotient of Ascension (SQA), has been designed.|

…!

|The Source Quotient of Ascension is a dual-value system that evaluates a beingʼs mastery of a True Source using the Complexity Quotient (CQ) and the Purity Quotient (PQ). Each Quotient is measured in ”Source Units (SU),” derived from progression rate, Source comprehension, alignment depth, existential structure manipulation, and resistance to Source Collapse.|

|CQ and PQ of a Nascent Source-Bearer: 100–999 SU|

|CQ and PQ of a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon: 1,000–9,999 SU|

|CQ of a Converged Architect: 10,000–99,999 SU | PQ: 1,000–99,999 SU|

|CQ and PQ of a Resplendent Monad: 10,000–99,999 SU|

|CQ and PQ of a Primarch: 100,000–999,999 SU|

A cascade of prompts flashed before Noahʼs eyes, systemizing the power of True Source entities.

His gaze sharpened. A blue panel filled with green light bloomed above Henry.

NAME: Henry Osmont

TITLE: Harmonized Sourcebound Icon

TRUE SOURCE: Infinity

CQ: 1,102 SU | PQ: 1,392 SU

STATUS: Complexity and Purity Surge in Progress

THREAT RATING: Green (Low)

Henry, only moments into his ascension, already showed quantified values that rose by the second. And Noah couldnʼt predict where they would settle.

As Henry closed his eyes and embraced the inheritance, Noahʼs attention shifted.

He turned toward the Infiniverse Crucible- his eyes locking onto the Great Beyonder, who was currently retreating as another of Noahʼs bodies unleashed trillions of fireballs upon her, each carrying the destructive elegance of the True Source of Singed.

A blue-green panel flickered into view.

NAME: The Great Beyonder

TITLE: Resplendent Monad

TRUE SOURCE: Runes

CQ: 10,225 SU | PQ: 10,542 SU

STATUS: Stable

THREAT RATING: Green (Low)

Noahʼs gaze moved again, this time to Arthur, the Sea of Ash.

NAME: Arthur, the Sea of Ash

TITLE: Resplendent Monad

TRUE SOURCE: Asche

CQ: 19,895 SU | PQ: 22,242 SU

STATUS: Stable

THREAT RATING: Green (Low)

His eyes gleamed with intensity.

He had begun to see Existence not just as a weaving of power- but as something he could measure, refine, and control.

Until, at last, his gaze turned inward.

To himself!
