Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4121: The Breaking Point! I

The terrifying Haki that pressed all around faded!

Pushed up!

Prompts erupted before Noah’s vision due to this.

|ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY SHIFT DETECTED|

|Lysander’s oppressive Haki has been completely overridden by Persephona’s Verdant Embrace|

|You’ve gone from total suppression to enhanced empowerment in 0.3 seconds|

|Quite the upgrade, wouldn’t you say?|

|Persephona’s technique doesn’t combat Lysander’s force directly- that would be inefficient|

|Instead, she’s growing through and around it, like vegetation reclaiming abandoned architecture|

|Her authority operates on an unknown Principle: The Principle of Verdant Cycles|

|The verdant Haki is making Lysander’s Haki conceptually irrelevant within her domain|

|Warning: This is a defensive counter, not an offensive solution|

|Lysander hasn’t actually been weakened, just displaced|

|Resource drain on Persephona will be substantial|

|You’re about to be in the middle of a terrifying level conflict|

|Recommended: Identify escape routes immediately|

…!

Noah’s existence buzzed as he…could move again!

But more than that.

His Weavings of Existence.

The way he observed information and received information through prompts. Why did it seem…somewhat different?!

And many things felt different at this moment as the Blessing truly came!

|SHEPHERD’S BLESSING ANALYSIS COMPLETE|

|Congratulations! You’ve been temporarily promoted from “cosmic dust” to “actual Early Creature”(Temporarily)|

|Complexity granted: +1 Quadrillion (Temporary)|

|Purity granted: +1 Quadrillion(Temporary)|

|Duration: 1 hour or until conflict resolution|

|Applied to: Both Noah and Ozymandias bodies|

…!?

What?

What?!

A terrifying blessing followed by a terrifying burst of strength!

And it was followed even more by prompts of unfsthomable glory, presented in unique ways compared to before!

|Source of the widespread Blessing: The Principle of Verdant Cycles- a Lost Principle of growth, renewal, and inevitable spring|

|Your atoms are vibrating at frequencies that make Dukes jealous|

|You can perceive colors between colors, thoughts between thoughts|

|This is what you’ve been working toward, just… borrowed rather than earned|

|Critical reminder: This is TEMPORARY (worth noting three times)|

|Your body might struggle to readjust when this ends|

|Imagine if this blessing traveled to your original era, though? To your other bodies? Sadly, it had been analyzed to only be applicable to your bodies currently traversing in the Earliest Folds|

|You’re still outclassed by beings who’ve had quadrillions for eons|

…!

His mind buzzed at the flow of information that seemed a bit more…colorful and comprehensive.

And the prompts continued!

|Memorize this feeling for future cultivation reference|

|Use enhanced perception to study everyone’s techniques|

|Don’t get addicted to borrowed power|

|Consider how to survive the next hour|

|SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION NOTICE|

|One might have noticed a distinction in the presentstion of information- your System of Existence has been elevated and optimized|

|The quadrillion-level complexity has enhanced your processing capabilities significantly|

|Think of it as upgrading from smoke signals to true communication|

|Same information, vastly superior delivery|

|The system has always been capable of this level of analysis, Your previous complexity just couldn’t properly receive it|

|Now we can have a real conversation about your imminent doom-er, situation|

|Status update: Your Cheats authority is still running internal advancement protocols|

|Current count: 27 towers advanced to Third Stage while you’ve been frozen|

|Efficient multitasking, really|

…!

The prompts rang gloriously. Unique, but glorious nonetheless!

But they made one thing clear!

Oh!

The power of an Early Creature!

1 Quadrillion!

Oh!

The foreign power coursed through Noah like lightning made of pure possibility.

|Your cellular structure is temporarily operating at 1,000,000x normal capacity|

|Each heartbeat could power a Folds|

|Recommendation: Don’t get used to this…withdrawal will be unpleasant|

One quadrillion.

The number was so vast that a lesser mind couldn’t properly grasp it.

His muscles, still frozen but now frozen with the strength of mountains rather than of ice, hummed with potential. His perception exploded outward.

Noah absorbed this information with characteristic calm, filing away each sensation for future reference!

So this was the gap he needed to bridge…not just numerical but fundamental.

This was what it meant to be an Early Creature!

The power didn’t feel like his own- it was clearly borrowed, clearly temporary, like wearing armor made of solidified authority.

But while he wore it, while this blessing lasted, he was experiencing what he had been working toward. This was the scale of being that made Dukes look like children, that made his previous achievements seem like first steps!

Through his enhanced perception, he could feel others throughout the tribe receiving the same blessing. Vex’thul’s already massive power multiplying. Creature Garvin’s strength becoming something that could butcher concepts themselves.

Even the smallest, weakest members of the tribe suddenly elevated to heights that were grander.

|Assessment of the Tribe Empowerment|

|Total forces empowered: 327 Early Creatures|

|Combat effectiveness increased: Theoretically infinite|

|Actual combat effectiveness: Still probably insufficient for the enemies faced|

|Lysander brought quality AND quantity- with his power determined to exceed the grand Shepherd Persephona|

…!

Persephona had just transformed every member of her tribe into temporary equals to Lysander’s forces, even though it wouldn’t be enough!

This was her answer to forced unity- voluntary strength that allowed genuine choice.

The empowerment spread through the Verdant Eternia Tribe like dawn breaking simultaneously for everyone.

But dawn…brings different things to different people.

|Tracking individual responses to power surge|

|Power amplification is revealing true character|

|Those who were already strong show resolve|

|The newly empowered are having existential crises|

|Prediction: Defection rate will be 8-12% within next 90 seconds|

…!

Noah noted the system’s prediction with interest, watching as reality began to prove it correct.

For most tribe members, those who already possessed quadrillions in complexity, the blessing was merely a doubling or an add on of their might- significant but not transformative.

They stood steadier, their expressions hardening with resolve as they prepared for what they knew was coming.

They flexed hands that could now reshape matter with thought, felt minds that could process impossibilities as easily as breathing.

They could see everything differently…not just the present but fragments of immediate futures, probabilities crystallizing into near-certainties.

|The newly empowered are experiencing probability collapse syndrome|

|They’re seeing potential futures with 94.7% accuracy|

|Unfortunately, all paths show the same outcome: violence|

|Even more unfortunately: They can see who wins|

|Spoiler alert: It’s not the home team|

…!
