Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4325: Sheer Depravity! II

”We chose to stand with THE Creature and find another way. What you see before you is that way. I, and all those behind me, and countless others on the other side of The Veil, all chose to fight against the abomination that is THE Loom.”

”The reason for our coming through at this very moment was to lay out the path of survival for the countless masses, as THE Loom prepares to unleash its horrors upon all of existence. I had wished to tell you all of this because we also follow Order... on the other side of The Veil. Order helped us establish who we are today and fight against the tyranny of THE Living Existences against THE Creature. For there to be a piece of THE Living Order in this domain... is not by chance.”

...!

Her words were heavy!

So, so heavy!

”And so, after explaining all of this, I hereby invite THE Living Order within to come back with me to the other side of The Veil. Your mere existence... may very well change a tremendous amount of things. With you and the radiant Order that is on the other side of The Veil, the possibilities for existence and its survival against the abomination that is THE Loom... are tremendously altered. Once more... I hereby invite the Young Living Order to come with me to the other side of The Veil.”

BOOM!

The invitation was a thing of impossible, terrible weight.

Noah’s eyes shone with a terrifying, brilliant light. Schrodinger and Leonore, in their isolated bubble, turned to him, their gazes stern and questioning.

|Master, the information provided by the subject ’Tatiana’ is a paradigm-shifting event.|

|Primary Revelations:|

| - [The Fallout] is not a natural event, but a man-made (or rather, Existence-made) one.|

| - [THE Loom] is not a passive sanctuary, but an active, predatory weapon.|

| - A significant faction, aligned with [THE Creature], exists on the other side of The Veil. Their objective is to oppose THE Loom.|

|Strategic Re-evaluation:|

| - The solution of [Halting the Catalyst] is now... significantly more complex. The catalyst is not a single entity, but a coalition of Level One Scale existences.|

| - The solution of [Breaching THE Loom] is now re-contextualized.|

| - The solution of [The First Farmer] remains a viable, if now more urgent, path for a potential third faction and alliance.|

Noah processed the information, his mind a silent storm of calculation. He opened his mouth, and his voice, a calm, resonant, and utterly absolute thing, boomed out from the isolated domain, reaching Tatiana and all those in the surrounding void.

”You have mentioned Order multiple times on the other side of The Veil... just who is embodying Order on the other side of The Veil?”

His voice echoed out.

Tatiana frowned. She did not like that someone other than the Living Order had replied to her. But she answered, her voice as calm and as cold as a tombstone. ”On the other side of The Veil, the only Order that has been present and aiding THE Creature has been THE Dead Order.”

BOOM!

The Dead Order. One of THE Living Existences... on the side of The Dead.

In the Early Veiled Shore, Sigrid fell to her knees, the revelation a physical blow. But Noah remained calm. His voice boomed out again. ”You mentioned THE Living Order from here coming with you to the other side of The Veil... THE Living Order on this side is merely a resurgence, unable to make any grand changes in existence. How exactly would their crossing over change anything in the vast weavings of what is unfolding?”

Tatiana’s frown deepened. ”I would very much like to be discussing all of this with THE Living Order, and not a bystander.”

...!

Noah’s eyes flashed with a cold light. ”Whether you stand to have any discussion with THE Living Order or not is dependent on whether you answer this question. What exactly would THE Living Order be doing if she crosses to the other side of The Veil?”

The air grew cold. A silent, terrible wave of power pulsed from Tatiana.

But she held it in check. ”Out of respect to the Order that we follow, I will answer. THE Living Order coming to the other side of The Veil would mean that THE Dead Order and THE Living Order can come and join together in a profound and unfathomable union that may just be the grandest answer to THE Loom and the abomination of actions that were taken to enact it.”

...!

Noah’s eyes flashed coldly.

|Master, the probability of a true ’union’ is 0.01%. The probability of a complete and total assimilation of the lesser, resurgent Order by the established, primordial Dead Order is 99.99%. She is asking for a sacrifice.|

In the deafening silence that followed, only one reply came. Two simple words from Noah, ringing with a glorious, tyrannical clarity.

”Fuck off.”

BOOM!

Tatiana’s eyes flashed with lividity.

”Due to the immense respect and decorum that I have for Order, I am holding myself back right now from this very clear disrespect. I ask once more, do not speak on behalf of THE Living Order. I wish to have this dialogue with nobody else other than THE Living Order.”

She waited. The silence stretched. And then, again, the same two words, in the same grand, glorious, tyrannical voice.

”Fuck off.”

BOOM!

Oh!

Oh!

Tatiana had reached the end of her patience. ”We are a solution to the abomination that is THE Loom,” she stated, her voice now a cold, flat pronouncement.

”That solution is to grant all living existences on this side of The Veil the blessing of becoming like us. This was a mercy designed by THE Creature and THE Dead Order, and we will now proceed in carrying it out.”

”Alongside this will be the procurement and safe obtainment of THE Living Order, who seems to have been taken captive by an entity with intentions that do not align with THE Creature or with Order itself. With respect to the Order that we continue to hold in high regard... we will now begin our operation to rescue you from the clutches of this entity.”

...!
