Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4434: The Scales of Law I

In the region of collapse where crimson-blue molten Mana still churned with residual violence from the deadly battle between Noah and Tatiana.

The Infiniverse floated serenely amidst this grand sea of liquified authority.

At this moment, the figure of Riya materialized near The Infiniverse’s entrance with a dramatic flair.

A rope of pure Primus Mana extended from her hand, its other end secured around the wrist of a notably despondent Leonore Rureaux...who appeared lost in contemplation regarding numerous troubling matters.

Above Riya’s head, the manifestation of the crown symbolizing the Boon of The Minor Mana and Hunger Palisades shone with brilliant blue-gold radiance.

Her Complexity and Purity had long since surged past 100 Quintillion threshold, her power vibrant and barely contained within her physical form!

The moment she fully materialized near The Infiniverse, several figures emerged from its entrance to greet the arrivals.

The Queen of Matter appeared first, surrounded by floating books connected by luminescent threads that constantly rearranged themselves according to some incomprehensible organizational system.

Alongside her came Henry, The Emperor Penguin maintaining a regal proud bearing despite his unusual form, and The Blue Slime quivering with barely contained enthusiasm.

There was also Kazuhiko observing with focus, and a few others representing Noah’s inner circle.

The Queen of Matter’s eyes shone with genuine excitement as she spoke first, words tumbling out with barely contained enthusiasm.

”Hello! Master instructed us to welcome members of his Isolated Civilization! I am The Queen of Matter, and I can serve as your comprehensive guide to The Infiniverse and The Early Veiled Shore. I know absolutely everything about its architecture, history, and current status!”

...!

Her eyes sparkled with pride as Riya blinked with slight surprise before smiling lightly.

”Hello! I am Riyannara, the cherished plaything of the Ancestor!”

...!

The Queen of Matter displayed a shocked expression as comprehension settled.

”Plaything? Another one already? Goodness, The Master cant keep getting away with this! Oh!”

Riya’s eyes pulsed with interested curiosity at this revelation as she began asking.

”Oh? How many playthings does the Ancestor currently maintain-”

HUUM!

Before she could complete her inquiry, a hand filled with concentrated blue Mana descended toward her head with clear intent to deliver corrective strike.

She coolly evaded the attack with minimal movement, and Kael alongside other Seed Members of the Isolated Civilization arrived with expressions of disapproval.

Kael wore particularly stern expression while staring at Riya with unambiguous warning, and when he spoke, his voice held the authority of someone accustomed to commanding respect.

”Forgive the Prize of our Civilization...her enthusiasm occasionally exceeds appropriate boundaries. I am Kael, and I come bearing gifts of advancement from The Ancestor that we have meticulously developed in The Way of Mana across eons of dedicated cultivation.”

...!

Those positioned behind him pulsed with considerable power, and even though they hadn’t yet received the Boon of Minor Mana and Hunger Palisades, they emanated Complexity that notably exceeded Henry and most others present!

Henry stepped forward at this diplomatic juncture with smile mixing genuine welcome.

”I am Henry Osmont. The only Son of The Ancestor. Please, do come in and make yourselves comfortable...”

...!

Henry had proclaimed aloud how he was the Son of The Ancestor they all revered so profoundly.

Kael and the others instantly experienced their eyes lighting up with recognition and appropriate deference.

This was the Son of The Ancestor himself!

Henry smiled at the immediate recognition as his Weavings of Nepotism pulsed with glory...because why would he not be deriving genuine benefit from familial connection rather than personal achievement?

He was currently feeling absolutely no shame regarding his birthright!

Behind them, The Infiniverse opened a massive gateway revealing glimpses of impossible internal architecture, and Kael alongside his contingent looked inward with expressions of awe.

They came bearing gifts of wonder and advancement to share with their fellow members of Noah’s expanding Civilizations!

Countless Glyphs and Arcana Glyphs to aid one across The Way of The Mana Architect, and more.

Riya harrumphed with displeasure at being diplomatically corrected, her body dividing cleanly into two separate manifestations- one composed of pure Primus Mana that entered The Infiniverse to participate in welcoming procedures, while the other remained stationed with Leonore Rureaux.

She smiled toward her captive with expression of calmness and necessary caution.

”Hey bestie, you won’t enter The Ancestor’s most intimate domains until I can fully verify you aren’t some sophisticated imposter or compromised agent. I believe you personally, I genuinely do, but I must exercise appropriate caution when it concerns The Ancestor’s security. No hard feelings, okay? Just hang tight until The Ancestor provides explicit order regarding locating your Schrodingers...”

She hummed thoughtfully while saying this, snapping her fingers to create luxurious Mana thrones for both of them...comfortable seating manifested from pure authority.

Leonore Rureaux did not reply as her gaze moved about.

Riya leaned closer to Leonore Rureaux while whispering with conspiratorial tone.

”But can you believe it? The Ancestor has a son and many playthinsm. The son is a bit weak in terms of grandeur compared to what direct Blood of the Ancestor should theoretically manifest...”

”...but hey, it would be genuinely weird if someone could actually match The Ancestor, even if they share direct genetic lineage. As for the playthings, in our glorious Civilization of Mana, the strong are favored. The strong can have whatever they want. I could’ve had many things, but I kept myself waiting for the Ancestor!”

She talked and talked as if someone was genuinely listening to all her words!

She articulated her observationz as Leonore Rureaux only silently nodded without substantial response, and Riya sighed with mixture of sympathy and mild frustration.

”Come on, I know you’re hella depressed currently, but I’m actively trying to redirect your attention away from obsessing over your Schrodinger situation. You are your own being at fundamental level...look for constructive solutions rather than drowning in despair. Get revenge against THE Living Paradox for what he orchestrated!”

...!

At these words, Leonore Rureaux’s eyes finally shone with brighter intensity as she nodded with more conviction.

Riya smiled with satisfaction at having provoked productive response as she gazed toward the closing doorway into The Infiniverse.

”Hey, tell me about external Existence...or for you, normal observable reality. What are the major factions? The tyrannical Early Creatures? Fold Dwellers? Living Existences? Any entertaining weavings of existence worth sharing?”

...!

She posed such question with genuine curiosity, and Leonore Rureaux sighed before beginning to speak about the broader landscape beyond their current isolated position!
