Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4518: Brutality! V

The Infiniverse arrived at the center of the Heart of Elementals with the inevitability of a falling star.

Her humanoid form materialized above the grand central plaza, and the moment she appeared, existence itself trembled with acknowledgment. She stood suspended in the air, her figure composed of flowing Omniverses and rivers of verdant-gold light.

Above her, a million Primus Inevitabilities blotted out the sky like a swarm of ascending titans.

The Infiniverse’s aura blazed outward with terrifying intensity, washing across the entire domain like a tsunami of absolute authority. The pressure was inexorable, the weight of existence itself demanding acknowledgment!

Throughout the Heart of Elementals, every being with even a modicum of power felt that presence.

The Kleos Council of Elementals, the governing body of this ancient domain, had no choice but to respond as they were all already at high alert ever since Primus Inevitabilities appeared and unleashed Sparks across the folds, but previously...none of these entities had forced anyone to take the Sparks.

But the new aura they felt seemed purposefully intimidating!

So...

Spatial tears opened across the plaza as figures began to emerge. The Dukes of Elemental, each one a powerhouse who commanded respect and controlled vast territories, assembled with grim determination.

Their combined presence should have been overwhelming, a display of concentrated power that could reshape reality.

But before The Infiniverse’s blazing aura, they appeared... diminished.

She gazed down at the assembled Dukes with eyes that held infinite calculation and cold purpose. She did not need to be here. Protos and other Primus Inevitabilities could simply lead the charge. But...she came because she wanted to!

When she spoke, her voice carried across Gigaparsecs without effort.

”One hand offers fealty,” she said with calm finality, extending her right hand forward. ”And one hand offers death.”

Her left hand remained at her side, but the implication was clear.

”What will you choose?”

...!

The plaza fell into tense silence as the Dukes of Elemental looked at each other with visible uncertainty. Some showed anger at such brazen disrespect. Others displayed caution, having sensed the vast gulf in power.

A particularly powerful Duke of Elemental stepped forward from the assembled group as he seemingly unveiled hidden power!

His form pulsed with 20 Quintillion Complexity and Purity, making him one of the strongest beings present!

He was wreathed in crimson flames that burned with the authority of primordial fire, and his voice boomed out with defiance.

”We are the Living Elementals! In existence, there is decorum, there is understanding. The Coalition of Living Existences stand together as if you attack one, you attack all. We will not be bullied by-”

...!

Before his words could even finish, The Infiniverse raised her leg with casual grace and stepped down through the air.

An illusory stellar leg formed above the Duke, vast beyond comprehension. It was composed of compressed Omniverses and Folds, and flowing with authority that represented a semblance of the totality of her power.

The leg descended with a terrifying force.

CRASH!

The Duke of Elemental was crushed downward, his flames extinguished instantly as he was driven into the plaza floor. The impact created a crater that stretched for light-years, and the Duke lay at its center, nearly decimated.

His body twitched weakly, still clinging to existence but utterly defeated.

The Infiniverse’s expression did not change. She looked at the rest of the assembled Dukes with the same calm certainty.

”Do not waste my time,” she said with cold authority. ”Fealty, or death?”

HUUM!

The message was unmistakably clear!

And it did not take too long.

Not really!

One by one, the Dukes of Elemental began moving toward her outstretched right hand. Their movements were reluctant at first, pride warring with survival instinct.

But as they approached her extended palm, something extraordinary occurred.

Sparks of The Way of Mana began producing from her hand, brilliant blue-gold motes of light that danced in the air. Each spark represented an offer, a connection, a pathway to serving under her Master.

The first Duke to reach obtained the Spark and felt the inclusion into The Way of Mana!

Oh, Mana!

Fire fueled by Mana burned hotter. Water infused with Mana flowed more fluidly. Earth reinforced by Mana stood more solidly.

The Duke stepped back with newfound understanding and knelt, acknowledging fealty with shaking eyes as it did not even feel like they lost something, with their progression over the elements seemingly made even grander!

One by one, the others followed.

The conquest unfolded with efficiency as each Duke of Elemental accepted The Way of Mana and submitted to The Infiniverse’s authority. Even the Duke who had been crushed eventually crawled forward and accepted the inevitable.

When the last Duke had sworn fealty, The Infiniverse’s gaze turned upward to the million Primus Inevitabilities hovering above.

She commanded them with absolute authority.

”Go stand as nodes and break apart these Transcendent Folds. Everything shall be devoured into The Infiniverse. The lifeforms within these Folds will gain entry only after complete submission and fealty.”

Her voice carried the weight of inevitability.

The Primus Inevitabilities responded as one, their voices creating a chorus that shook existence.

”We shall fulfill our duty!”

They dispersed instantly, each one moving to positions around the vast expanse of the Transcendent Elemental Folds.

And then they began to work.

The Primus Inevitabilities released waves of Primus Mana that connected between them, forming a vast web of authority. The web began to constrict, applying pressure to the very fabric of the Transcendent Folds.

Primus Mana permeated across The Transcendent Elemental Folds like an invasive species that could not be resisted. It seeped into every corner, every hidden pocket, every defended sanctuary.

Regions began to split as the Folds themselves were torn apart at the fundamental level!

Entire territories that had existed as separate spaces started flowing toward the humanoid form of The Infiniverse.

She stood at the center of it all, arms spread wide, absorbing everything.

Mountains of crystallized elemental authority flowed into her like water into an ocean. Forests of living flame were consumed and integrated. Seas of liquid lightning were devoured whole.

The lifeforms within these regions had two choices: submit and be incorporated into The Infiniverse, or resist and be left behind in regions of collapsed existence.

All chose survival. All Wheels of Existence holding Weak Fold Dwellers and Living Existences flowed towards her as these beings would passively be filtered and branded to ensure nothing was missed!

Waves of Elementals, from the weakest to the most powerful, streamed toward The Infiniverse and accepted The Way of Mana.

Her humanoid form remained at the center, but The massive Infiniverse itself in the distant Wandering Territories....

New Frequencies of Existence bloomed within her. New Wheels of Existence began to spin. New domains formed to house the conquered territories and their inhabitants.

The process was brutal in its totality but not unnecessarily cruel. Those who submitted were welcomed. And all faced no other result but submission.

And this was only the beginning of The Infiniverse’s campaign of conquest.

The final image was one of immensity and glory.

The Infiniverse stood radiant at the center of what had once been the Heart of Elementals, now transformed into another domain within her vast existence. Primus Mana flowed through everything like golden blood through veins.

Above, the Primus Inevitabilities continued their work, dismantling the last remaining pockets of existance.

The Infiniverse had declared that she would devour every Fold, conquer every territory, and subsume every fragment of power outside THE Loom.

And nothing would stand in her way.

This was conquest, and this was duty.

This was love expressed through absolute domination!
