Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4472: Thaumata V

While Noah pursued knowledge accumulation in a secluded corner of the Early Veiled Shore...

The engine of his Civilization continued churning with relentless momentum.

At this moment, two particular beings were observing the glorious transformations that had swept across the Shore in the hours that had passed since mass Specialization commenced.

The observers were none other than The Queen of Matter and The Shadow Guard of Queen Adelaide- Night!

Both had books floating around them, meticulously documenting the changes and systematic establishment of three distinct factions within the Early Veiled Shore that correlated directly with the Civilization Specializations.

They floated near the center of the Shore above glimmering golden sands. From this vantage point, they could observe that the massive continental landscape had been carved into three distinct territorial spaces.

Each space bore a massive Sovereign Spire of Osmont at its center, architectural anchors around which the factions organized themselves.

The three carved domains represented The Iron Concordat, The Crimson Hunger, and The Verdant Cycle!

Those who had undergone Civilization Specialization could be observed moving together within their respective territories, working systematically to understand their newfound capabilities.

Distinct leaders were naturally arising within each faction through demonstrated competence and power.

The Queen of Matter’s bright eyes gleamed with analytical curiosity as she whispered to Night a question she already knew the answer to.

”Which individual represents the most powerful member of The Iron Concordat currently? Who holds apex position within that defensive faction?”

Night didn’t require even a moment’s consideration before her eyes shone with certainty.

”A single person claims supremacy for both The Iron Concordat and The Verdant Cycle simultaneously...which is utterly ridiculous. They possessed Civilization Specialization Potential classification that permitted them to specialize in both non-competing paths.”

Her voice carried mixture of admiration and disbelief.

”It would have to be Sigrid!”

...!

Both of their gazes immediately focused upon the visage of THE Living Order...currently engaged in a sweet conversation with Amelia Osmont near The Verdant Cycle Sovereign Spire.

Around Sigrid gathered Eowyn, Emmeline, Dr. Hall, some members of the Isolated Civilization of Mana, and numerous others whose bodies pulsed with accumulated power measuring in Sextillions of Complexity and Purity.

Night’s eyes sharpened as analytical focus intensified.

”Did you manage to observe her complete status sheet? The full specifications of what dual Specialization accomplished?”

The Queen of Matter looked into a specific page of her floating book and smiled with undisguised excitement.

”I begged The Master repeatedly to grant me access to status panels for her and several other high-priority individuals. He eventually relented...”

Her smile widened.

”It’s absolutely insane what the numbers reveal.”

With such enthusiastic declaration, The Queen of Matter pulled up the relevant page and angled it so Night could observe the documented specifications.

|ENTITY DESIGNATION: Sigrid (THE Living Order)|

|CIVILIZATION SPECIALIZATION POTENTIAL: Primordial Potential (Mythic 8th Seal)|

|CURRENT SPECIALIZATIONS: The Infinite Bulwark (The Iron Concordat) + The Vital Chorus (The Verdant Cycle)|

|BASE COMPLEXITY AND PURITY (PRE-SPECIALIZATION): 850 Quintillion|

|SPECIALIZATION MULTIPLICATIVE EFFECTS:|

|— The Infinite Bulwark: 50x defensive multiplication (Primordial Potential enhancement)|

|— The Vital Chorus: 50x support/healing multiplication (Primordial Potential enhancement)|

|COMBINED COMPLEXITY AND PURITY (POST-SPECIALIZATION): 85 Sextillion|

|DUAL SPECIALIZATION SYNERGY:|

|— Offensive Capability: Reduced to 0|

|— Defensive Capability: Multiplied by 50x |

|— Support Capability: Multiplied by 50x - All healing/buffing effects extraordinarily potent|

|— Unique Synergy: Can establish Fortress formations that simultaneously heal all protected allies while absorbing damage|

|This entity represents ultimate protective support...a nearly unkillable anchor who ensures allies never fall while providing overwhelming restorative capabilities.|

Night stared at the numbers displayed before her as she slowly shook her head with genuine wonder.

”These ridiculous numbers show that as of this moment, The Iron Concordat and The Verdant Cycle factions are substantially more favored within our Civilization’s. The synergy between those two Specializations are ridiculous...”

...!

The Queen of Matter raised her eyebrows.

”Oh?”

Night’s words emerged calmly.

”As of this moment, The Infinite Bulwark Specialization and The Vital Chorus Specialization are the only two paths considered truly non-competing. Their sacrifices don’t overlap, one eliminates offense, the other eliminates different offensive aspects. So they can theoretically coexist within a single existence.”

She gestured toward the distant Sigrid.

”If someone possesses sufficiently high Civilization Specialization Potential to access multiple paths simultaneously, they can specialize in both of these complementary frameworks. The result? Ridiculous multiplicative effects to their baseline power.”

Her voice carried weight!

”When general harvest distribution occurs...say, 1 Sextillion Complexity and Purity being allocated, these dual-specialized entities might receive effective harvest of 10 or even 20 Sextillion due to their advancement speed multipliers.”

She paused deliberately.

”At this moment, those possessing sufficient Potential to specialize in both The Iron Concordat and The Verdant Cycle simultaneously represent the absolute strongest individuals within our Civilization’s membership. Meanwhile, the offensive side can actually be considered to be on the losing end as it does not have another Specialization thst is considered non-competing...”

WAA!

After such detailed exchange, The Queen of Matter actually shook her head with wry smile.

”Actually, scratch that entire assessment. Even though The Hungering Maw Specialization would theoretically be considered unfavorable selection for anyone with capability to pursue multiple Specialization paths, since it competes with both other options, there exists one such being who specialized exclusively as Hungering Maw.”

Her expression became almost reverent.

”And even with that single Specialization limiting her potential versatility... she remains ridiculously stronger than Sigrid!”

...!

As she articulated this shocking claim, both of them turned away from the massive faction bases and directed their attention toward the continental expanse shining with obsidian-crimson crystalline mountains and elaborate structures.

The Sanctuaries of Inevitabilities where millions upon millions of Primus Inevitabilities were still being systematically formed during these many hours of the initial production cycle.

There, the diminutive figure of Khor floated serenely as she communicated with countless Primus Inevitabilities simultaneously...her consciousness touching each one, acknowledging their existence, welcoming them into the Civilization.

Khor!

The First Hunger herself!

Even though she possessed only a single Specialization rather than dual paths, she was undoubtedly more powerful than Sigrid.

Her Potential classification and starting baseline were simply ridiculous.

The Queen of Matter flipped through pages of her book with practiced motion until she located Khor’s documented specifications.

|ENTITY DESIGNATION: Khor (The First Hunger)|

|CIVILIZATION SPECIALIZATION POTENTIAL: Primordial Potential (Mythic 9th Seal - Maximum)|

|CURRENT SPECIALIZATION: The Hungering Maw (The Crimson Hunger)|

|BASE COMPLEXITY AND PURITY (PRE-SPECIALIZATION): 3.5 Sextillion|

|SPECIALIZATION MULTIPLICATIVE EFFECT: 75x offensive multiplication (Maximum Primordial Potential enhancement - exceeds standard 50x due to 9th Seal classification)|

|CURRENT COMPLEXITY AND PURITY (POST-SPECIALIZATION): 262.5 Sextillion|

|SPECIALIZATION EFFECTS:|

|— Defensive Capability: Reduced to 20% (80% sacrifice)|

|— Offensive Capability: Multiplied by 75x |

|— Consumption Acceleration: 100% efficiency with Primordial enhancement|

|— Reality Severance: Enhanced beyond standard - Can attack conceptual existence|

|— Exponential Hunger Stacks: 15% power increase per kill (enhanced from standard 10%)|

|— All Hungering Maw abilities elevated to maximum possible expression|

|This entity represents one of the absolute apex predator within The Primordial Civilization.|

Both The Queen of Matter and Night stared silently at the status sheet.

They possessed no adequate words to express what those numbers represented!

262.5 Sextillion Complexity and Purity.

From single individual who had specialized merely hours ago.

They could only look back toward the small figure of floating Khor, observing her gentle interaction with the Primus Inevitabilities, seeing how they reached toward her with reverence that transcended simple loyalty.

Both women spoke simultaneously with identical sentiment.

”Fuck...”

...!

---

The Primordial Civilization of Mana and Hunger was experiencing a period of unprecedented growth...a period of systematic expansion and refinement occurring simultaneously across multiple domains.

It truly seemed that time was all that was genuinely required for them to achieve unprecedented glory.

Accumulate sufficient duration, and exponential advantages would compound into overwhelming superiority. Maintain the current trajectory, and dominance became inevitable conclusion rather than ambitious aspiration.

Time.

The fundamental resource that spanned incomprehensible eons when one possessed abundance of it.

But when one desperately needed time...when circumstances demanded rapid advancement before external threats could mobilize their devastating response...

Time became unfathomably scarce.

The cruel irony of existence remained that...those who possessed time rarely required it urgently. Those who required it urgently rarely possessed sufficient quantity.

Noah’s Civilization was racing against a clock that none of them could observe directly but all of them could feel ticking with inexorable progression.

The Fallout approached!
