Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 3946: Brutal! III

At the explosive outburst of Moiraine’s power, reality itself seemed to bend around the collision of forces.

Her five hundred Eminent Glyphs of Paradox blazed with such concentrated authority that the very fabric of existence groaned under the strain of containing such tremendous energy!

The white hand, descending with the inexorable certainty of existential evolution judgment, shockingly deviated slightly in its descent.

For a breathless moment that stretched across eons, the massive appendage of Law trembled as it encountered a deviation of resistance it had not expected to find!

Moiraine’s accumulated power, refined through processes that had elevated her beyond a normal Living Existence, created a deviation that even the Early Creature’s casual authority could not immediately penetrate!

Yet the pause was brief. The white hand completed its descent, managing to grasp half of the remaining Marine Lifeforms in its crushing grip, but Noah found himself excluded from its harvest.

Moiraine’s intervention had been sufficient to deflect the targeting, though at tremendous cost to her own reserves of power.

On the shore, Thal’dorven the Primordial Fisher looked genuinely surprised for the first time since the trial began.

His expression shifted from casual indifference to interest as he observed the unexpected resistance to his authority.

At this moment of reprieve, the surviving Marine Lifeforms launched their desperate retaliation!

The magnificent Eminent creature that led them roared with renewed fury as it directed the others in a coordinated assault against the Early Creature who had dared to treat them as mere prey.

Their combined might created waves of authority that would have impressed even Royal Living Existences, yet their display seemed to barely register on Thal’dorven’s consciousness!

Moiraine materialized more solidly beside Noah, her form radiating protective determination as she positioned herself between him and any further threats. Her nine winged halos spun with increasing velocity while her Glyphs prepared for whatever horrors might come next.

And yet, as their desperate resistance unfolded, a voice boomed across the battlefield with such exotic power that reality itself seemed to reshape around its utterances.

”That is not the power of a little fish at the Refined level or even simple Eminent level. And was that Paradox? Haha, are one of my lesser brethren attempting a shore advancement right now? You should not have allowed me to know!”

...!

Oh?

Oh!

The voice of the Early Creature carried weight!

Heavy weight!

Each syllable resonated through dimensions, while undertones suggested depths of experience.

The sound was simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, like hearing the voice of existence itself speaking with casual amusement about the struggles of insects.

The exotic power contained within those words caused all the Marine Lifeforms, including Noah and Moiraine, to freeze as understanding dawned with horrifying clarity.

They were fucked!

Instantly, with movement that transcended normal concepts of speed, Thal’dorven appeared in front of the most powerful Eminent Marine Lifeform.

The creature that had led their desperate charge now found itself face to face with something that existed beyond all resistance.

The Early Creature tapped out with casual precision, a single finger making contact with the Eminent being’s magnificent form.

The result...was immediate and absolute.

The Marine Lifeform collapsed and began unraveling into streams of light, its accumulated power dissipating like smoke before wind as its very existence was casually negated!

Simply.

Calmly.

Horrifically!

Thal’dorven smiled with dangerous satisfaction as his gaze swept across the remaining fish, his expression carrying the particular joy of someone who had just discovered an unexpected source of entertainment.

”Do you know that if the attempt of advancement fails from my actions, I actually get a boon from it? Now that I know, I will naturally get serious and not allow you to pass! Haha, how much time do you have left? It won’t matter as I won’t let this go for even another second. I will just wipe the rest of these weak fishes out!”

Noah’s expression became unfathomably heavy as the full implications of their situation crystallized with devastating clarity.

At such a moment of absolute despair, Moiraine’s voice rang out with desperate defiance!

”YAA!”

She had two seconds remaining in her manifestation, but her eyes blazed with fierce determination as she shot forward.

She understood that her Sir was attempting something grand here, something that could reshape the very foundations of his power!

The casual joy this being took in causing his failure ignited fury within her!

She would not allow this.

Seas of golden Paradox began gathering around her form as she prepared to expend everything in a final desperate gambit.

Her accumulated power condensed into patterns of glory, wonders of a myraid weavings of Paradoxes forming!

Yet the expression on the Early Creature’s face remained placid, almost bored, as he observed her gathering might.

Above his head, with the casual ease of someone swatting an annoying insect, another Glyph appeared.

PAH!

The symbol flashed with brilliance that hurt to perceive directly, and Noah’s enhanced vision identified it with growing horror.

This was not merely an Eminent or Refined Glyph.

It was...

A Kleos Early Living Existential Glyph of Law!

Kleos!

It instantly erased Moiraine into dust, her accumulated power and tremendous advancement reduced to scattered particles that drifted away on calm winds.

Her short journey in this record came to an end as she was sent back!

The casual ease with which she was destroyed spoke to power disparities that rendered all resistance meaningless.

|The Arch Living Existence, Moiraine, has been forcefully laid to rest from this Record. Her manifestation has been terminated through absolute authority.|

The prompt that appeared carried finality that stated no argument or hope of reversal!

One of his greatest achievements, the being he had elevated beyond defined categories through careful application of gifts had been casually obliterated by forces that recognized no limit to their dominion.

The eyes of the Early Creature remained calm and apathetic as his Glyph prepared to flash again, its target now clearly focused upon Noah himself!

There would be no reprieve, no moment of hesitation, no opportunity for desperate last stands!

Yet at this moment of absolute certainty, Noah stepped forward with tyrannical fearlessness that defied every rational calculation.

He could fail.

The possibility hung before him like an executioner’s blade, carrying with it consequences that would echo across every aspect of his existence.

Failure would come with results so heavy they might crush his ambitions and his very essence.

Yet at this critical juncture, he did not call out for anyone else to manifest beside him.

When faced with the impossible, when confronted with forces that transcended every normal category of resistance, there were still ways to survive.

One such method was knowledge. And understanding how to wield it with precision!
