Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 3951: The Past and the Dead! III

”So The Creature had purpose and a beginning, but yet found itself longing for a company it knew was not good for it.

To make up for this absence, The Creature went to observe all the things born from the spread of its Everything by the Living Paradox.

And...the closest Lifeforms it enjoyed seeing, as if they were its own children, were the Early Creatures.”

Schrodinger’s voice took on notes of paternal sadness as he continued. ”It observed them. How they were trying to find their own purpose. But they stumbled. They constantly fought with Inevitabilities, for after The Living Paradox was locked away, Inevitabilities became even more rampant throughout the Earliest Folds.”

...!

The tragedy began to unfold as Schrodinger painted pictures with words!

”The Creature had the now immensely powerful Living Origin and The Living Concept constantly protecting it, so it did not have to worry about such threats.

But the Early Creatures...its children, began to die in the hands of Inevitabilities!

It hurt it tremendously every time it observed this injustice, so it traversed across the Folds and called together The Living Elemental, Living Origin, Living Concept, Living Spirit, Living Dimension, Living Law, Living Temporal, Living Emotive, and Living Quantum.”

Duke Elagabalus found himself leaning forward despite his earlier reluctance, caught up in the flow of narrative he heard many times before, but the details in this one seemed much clearer!

”He gathered them and said he wished to protect the fruits of his Everything, and wanted to build something that would help the poor Lifeforms gain the power to fight against Inevitabilities.

Hesitant, THE Living Existences looked at each other before ultimately... they agreed to work with The Creature to create a place of refuge and potential for progression of power that they deemed...

The Early Veiled Shores!”

HUUM!

The Early Veiled Shores...those legendary realms that existed at the very foundations of power itself, had been born from The Creature’s desire to protect its children.

”The Creature was extremely happy at this collaboration,” Schrodinger continued, ”as he told THE Living Existences that they would not regret this decision.

They worked for an entire eon until they designed and scattered Early Veiled Shores for Early Creatures to use as refuge and as lands to elevate their own Everything.

The Creature received his own Early Veiled Shore that was made unfathomably unique, and he found himself lost in the designs he helped to make himself as he began spending lots of time in this small, isolated domain.

In his own shore.

After he saw the Early Creatures obtained the Early Veiled Shores and could hide from Inevitabilities and even begin growing themselves, he left them to their devices, content with what he had done as he disappeared...lost in his own Shore.”

”...”

But the story did not end with triumph and harmony as one somehow hoped.

”In the meantime, the Early Creatures progressed. They grew strong over the eons and successfully became powerful enough through their Shores to fight and win against extremely terrifying Inevitabilities. But with power came... chaos.”

The inevitable tragedy began to unfold as Schrodinger’s voice took on notes of disappointment.

”The Early Creatures gradually began vying for supremacy, going across the Folds and beginning cycles of untold chaos.

They took under their banner Inevitabilities, Living Lifeforms, and all sorts of other Lifeforms for the sake of their Shores.

And from peace... chaos began to propagate wildly.”

”And because THE Living Order was destroyed in the fight against Paradox, there was no return to Order!

And without order, what could there be apart from chaos?

And so, Early Creatures lived as they wished!

Chaos spread across the Earliest Folds.𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The balance that had been so carefully constructed began to crumble as those who had been saved by The Creature’s intervention turned their gifts toward conquest and domination.

The Living Law could not stand the chaos.

It went before the Early Creatures and admonished them, telling them this was not what they and THE Creature had envisioned.

But the Early Creatures did not listen.

They said the only one they would listen to was not here, and had not shown himself for eons.

The futility of trying to restore order through mere words became apparent as power without restraint...inevitably led to corruption and conflict.

So the chaos continued!

The Living Law was furious at the violation of order as it set off to the lands where Inevitabilities had first risen.

It searched for a solution in a place filed with uncertain possibilities!

There, after countless perils, it found something from the chaos of Inevitabilities and Everything... in the form of a Herb.”

...!

Schrodinger’s voice dropped to barely above a whisper as he reached the climax of his tale.

”A simple herb, and yet the Living Law felt an indescribable wonder from it.

It spent its Law and ordered the herb to be understood by it.

It was shocked as the herb it found... turned out to be the answer to the problem of Early Creatures!

It was a herb that could...heavily weaken and take down unruly Early Creatures!”

HUUM!

The Story of the Earliest Folds being told by Schrodinger ended there, leaving Duke Elagabalus staring at the beggar with expressions that mixed shock with incredulity.

”Are you saying,” Duke Elagabalus asked, his voice barely steady, ”that you... have found what The Living Law found all those Ages ago?!”

...!

At such a question, Schrodinger only smiled and leaned back against the muddy area, his eyes taking on that unfathomably bright brilliance.

He offered no answer, but his silence carried more weight than any words could have conveyed.

In that moment, beside a muddy road on an insignificant world in the depths of the Transcendent Paradoxical Folds, the balance of power shifted in ways that would echo across existence itself.

And it was silent.

Surrounded by weak humans that knew nothing!

And somewhere, in a place beyond imagination, Noah Osmont continued his own journey toward greatness.

Isolated.

Not at all too worried about others!
