Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4549: One Life! II

His words were unfathomably heavy!

”This is the cruel weaving of existence that has been established by a being operating at THE level. And I am here as both messenger delivering this information... and executioner tasked with implementing this solution.”

The moment his words finished, the gaze of The Infiniverse turned even colder and more imperious than before.

He was the messenger and fucking executioner? Was that right?!

Before any reply could be formulated, she rose slightly and floated ahead of the army of millions arrayed behind her. Her voice rang out with commanding authority.

”What is your Duty?” she called out with immensity!

HUUM!

Behind her, the booming voices of millions of Primus Inevitabilities adorned in their specialized Civilizational Armors raised their fists in perfect synchronization. The coordinated movement and vocalization resembled the immensity of Existence at an unfathomable level!

”OUR DUTY IS TO MANA AND HUNGER!” they roared with voices that shook reality itself.

The sound was overwhelming in its unity and conviction. Thirty million voices declaring absolute loyalty to foundational principles.

The Infiniverse pointed directly toward the calm figure of Schrodinger with cold finality.

”That thing stands between you and your duty,” she declared with a voice carrying absolute authority. ”An obstacle blocking the path. Clear it for me.”

HUUM!

The Primus Inevitabilities shone with their respective brilliance as the millions specialized in The Hungering Maw prepared to surge forward. Their obsidian-crimson armor blazed with anticipation of devouring their target.

Schrodinger looked at the approaching army with calm gaze before his eyes found the difficult expression of Leonore Rureaux in the distance. He shook his head with something resembling regret.

”I told you THE Living Paradox was cruel beyond measure,” he said with quiet intensity. ”His cruelty at this specific moment was transforming me completely into something you cannot oppose. Because...you all cannot do anything against me now.”

After such ominous words, the reveal came with terrifying suddenness.

Schrodinger’s body unleashed a silent burst of obsidian light that expanded outward in all directions. A terrifying Way, a terrifying Sovereignty was being unleashed at full power.

Everything froze in the next instant.

Everything.

The charging Primus Inevitabilities stopped mid-motion as if time itself had ceased. The Infiniverse’s floating form became motionless. Khor’s diminutive figure hung suspended. Even the paradoxical waterfalls stopped their impossible flow.

Schrodinger’s figure stood glorious at the center of this frozen tableau. He raised his right hand and showed it shining with concentrated obsidian light.

”Chaos is fundamentally the natural flow of existence itself,” he said with philosophical depth. ”It is entropy made manifest, the tendency of all ordered systems to eventually dissolve into randomness. Chaos is not evil or destructive...it simply is the underlying current of reality.”

Then he raised his left hand as it flowed with golden light of paradox.

”Paradox complements chaos perfectly because paradox represents the contradictions that chaos creates,” he continued.

”Where chaos dissolves order, paradox makes that dissolution exist simultaneously with creation. They are two sides of the same fundamental truth.”

The lights spun around each other with a sense of ecstatic beauty!

His eyes gleamed with realization.

”In the end, all of existence is simply a series of chaotic paradoxes playing out across infinite scales. Order attempting to impose itself on chaos. Chaos dissolving that order. Paradoxes emerging from the contradiction. An eternal cycle.”

BOOM!

After such words, his full aura erupted and was unleashed without restraint. The brilliance he emanated exceeded anything they had faced before in direct confrontation.

Even measurements of complexity and purity did not adequately capture what was manifesting.

The pure expression of dual Sovereignties from Schrodinger created an effect that transcended normal power scaling as in this light was also an array of unique Grand Principles of Existence!

Everybody present was frozen completely as the aura he radiated reached a classification many of those here did not know or understand. But the most important among them knew.

Pre-THE.

Oh.

Oh!

Pre-THE level authority was being wielded against them!

Schrodinger spoke with a voice carrying across the frozen space.

”I hold no offense or grudge with the rest of you,” he said with genuine honesty. ”I hold no offense with Osmont himself personally. But the death of one individual, as cruel as the means of THE Living Existences may be... the death of one for countless others is a weight that a true Leader can and should bear.”

He paused with emphasis.

”Sometimes a genuine Leader has to give his life for his people. This is the burden of leadership at the highest level. So tell me plainly: where is Osmont?”

At such direct demand, the frozen figure of The Infiniverse maintained her cold allure despite being unable to move.

Shockingly, her eyes pulsed with terrifying light of concentrated power. In her pupils, a small particle that looked like a mobius strip bloomed into visibility and began spinning rapidly.

Then it burned with intensity.

The moment it ignited, something was expressed through her being.

A True Expression of Sovereignty!

Her body instantly began burning with terrifying allure of power that she projected outward behind her position. The authority bathed the frozen armies of Primus Inevitabilities in waves of foundational energy.

The Infiniverse’s voice rang out cold and commanding despite her frozen state.

”Fulfill. Your. Duty.”

BOOM!

The glorious scene that followed defied expectations completely.

All those frozen by the Sovereignty of Chaos began breaking out of their bindings one after another. Cracks appeared in the obsidian authority holding them as their bodies burned wildly with Mana and Hunger amplified by The Infiniverse’s True Expression that he had pulled out from...somewhere! From someone!

Among all of them, Khor was the first to fully break free.

She looked toward Schrodinger with eyes blazing with Hunger refined to absolute peak.

And she took a bite.

WAP!

All of the surrounding existence within her range became systematically devoured. Space, time, the paradoxical authority, even the concept of being frozen...all of it was consumed by Hunger that superseded lesser Sovereignties!

Then millions of Primus Inevitabilities surged forward like an unstoppable flood, their duty clear and their determination absolute!
