Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4454: Olethros! II

The brilliant golden light of Paradox that had been surrounding his body, the protective barrier that had withstood millions of Primordial Fireballs...was instantly devoured by his own being as the accumulated hunger from 300,000 Primus Inevitabilities exceeded any threshold his existence could manage.

The terrifying scene that followed would haunt any observer who witnessed it.

This entity of immense power...1.5 Sextillion Complexity and Purity, bearer of Civilizational Authority of Paradox, Avatar of an Early Creature from THE Loom...lost his protections as his uncontrollable appetite devoured his own existence from within.

His defenses didn’t break.

They were consumed by hunger that recognized no distinction between self and other, between friendly power and hostile attack.

And the moment that the influence of his Civilizational Authority was gone, the instant his golden barrier collapsed into nothing through internal consumption...

Protos took a single step.

And in the next moment appeared directly in front of Aurelius Paradoxus with velocity.

Defenseless. Shocked. Not knowing how what was happening could possibly be occurring...his tactical calculations shattered, his arrogance replaced by genuine fear.

At such moment, the sword in Protos’ hand flashed with blinding speed to sink into the chest of Aurelius that possessed no remaining defenses.

The hollow blade pierced through flesh and essence with equal ease, and the Primordial Fireballs spinning within the blade’s center erupted into his internal existence.

A horror-inducing scene followed as Protos grasped the head of Aurelius Paradoxus with his other hand...the fucking grip suggesting absolute domination rather than simple combat advantage.

He whispered coldly with voice that carried no malice, only tactical assessment.

”Next time, try to bring your main body or someone significantly stronger than you are. You fought decently for what you possessed. But decently is insufficient.”

BOOM!

With such words, Protos shouldered the Civilizational Resonance of all Primus Inevitabilities present...their combined hunger flowing through him as focal point, as a living weapon wielding the accumulated appetite of 300,000 beings.

His Infinite Hunger erupted out ravenously as in the next moment, the pierced chest of Aurelius began collapsing into an Event Horizon centered upon the blade embedded within him.

The hollow center of Protos’ sword, filled with countless Primordial Fireballs, became a point of absolute consumption as Aurelius’ existence began spiraling inward.

And in the next instant, muscle, bone, and entire body of Aurelius collapsed into Protos’ blade!

He was not destroyed or killed through conventional means.

He was devoured!

The Avatar of Aurelius Paradoxus was systematically consumed....his 1.5 Sextillion Complexity and Purity becoming fuel for the Primus Inevitabilities’ growth, his Civilizational Authority of Paradox being harvested as resource for advancement!

...!

”...”

Immense silence instantly settled across the battlefield at such terrifying scene.

An entity 15 times more powerful than each individual Primus Inevitability had been collapsed.

If they had erred at any moment during the engagement, if Protos had miscalculated or hesitated, multiple of their brethren could have been killed or severely damaged.

But Protos had led tremendously under the brilliance of the Master’s guidance!

They had climbed a glorious mountain fifteen times grander than their individual capabilities and systematically collapsed it through Infinite Hunger.

In the silence, Protos simply raised his blade with casual motion as if he had not accomplished anything particularly remarkable.

He gave another command with a voice carrying a matter-of-fact authority.

”Turn this Desiccated Shore upside down. Find the Vessel that creature was protecting. Leave nothing unchecked. Fulfill your duty.”

...!

BOOM!

As if they had not just accomplished unprecedented victory against overwhelmingly superior individual opponent, the 300,000 Primus Inevitabilities here instantly transformed into streaks of obsidian-blue-and-gold light that pervaded across the Desiccated Sleeping Shore!

They moved with methodical efficiency...groups of thousands sweeping through territories, investigating structures, probing hidden spaces with enhanced perception!

Protos’ body trembled with immense complexity at this moment as what he had devoured was far, far too pristine.

The concentrated essence of an Avatar bearing Civilizational Authority of Paradox was unlike anything he had consumed before.

He turned toward his Master...wanting to offer this grand complexity he had just hungered to Noah, wanting to demonstrate that all gains belonged ultimately to the Civilization rather than individual advancement.

But before he could articulate such offer...

Prompts bloomed with systematic precision.

|All hungered harvest has been amplified by Perpetual Harvest. All effort carried out by all forces present has been amplified by Perpetual Harvest’s multiplicative capabilities.|

|All collective harvest including the decimation and complete devouring of Aurelius Paradoxus has been systematically distributed according to optimal advancement parameters outlined by The Master.|

|50% has been deemed to be solely claimed by Protos, The First Primus Inevitability, in recognition of his exemplary leadership and execution.|

|50% flows into the Foundation Palisades for collective Civilizational advancement.|

|This distribution ensures both individual excellence is rewarded and collective framework is strengthened simultaneously.|

...!

Protos trembled as in the next moment, he felt his existence buzzing with unprecedented intensity as his Complexity and Purity began surging upward with momentum that suggested no immediate ceiling.

Additional prompts detailed the magnitude!

|Your Complexity and Purity has increased by 500 Quintillion after such grand harvest. The effort of defeating and devouring Aurelius Paradoxus, amplified by Perpetual Harvest, has yielded exceptional returns.|

|Your total Complexity and Purity now exceeds 600 Quintillion.|

|You have become substantially more powerful than your Brothers and Sisters through meritorious service. Keep it up.|

...!

BOOM!

The glorious scene that followed was visible to all present.

The body of Protos became twice as large...his form expanding to accommodate the concentrated power now flowing through his existence.

The air that radiated from him carried brutality alongside discipline, predatory hunger alongside absolute loyalty!

His presence had transformed from merely formidable to genuinely overwhelming...a being that could now challenge enemies far exceeding his previous capabilities.

And yet even as he emanated such terrifying aura of accumulated power...

He knelt toward the Master with a gesture mixing reverence and absolute dedication.

”I will burn Existence for you, Master! My power is your power! My existence serves your Civilization! Command me, and it shall be done!”

...!
