Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4513: Tatakae! V

Noah took a step toward Toxoghra, and the moment he did so, the monstrous creature turned its bulbous yellow-green eyes toward him with sudden focus.

He had left the protection of Tor’s concealing authority, and his presence was now fully exposed in this toxic domain.

The creature’s massive form swelled with territorial aggression, its pustule-covered skin pulsing with increased toxin production. Its enormous mouth opened to release a roar that shook the surrounding space for Gigaparsecs in every direction.

ROOOOAAAAAR!

The sound carried concentrated waves of poison authority that turned the mist green and caused the swamp trees to wilt further. Noah’s mere appearance had offended this creature’s territorial claim over this region.

At this moment, something unexpected occurred.

The crimson-gold flames of THE Immolation Of The Sacrilegious Savage that had been wrapping around Noah’s existence shockingly receded inward. They became contained deep within his being, no longer visible on the surface.

Tor’s voice echoed out from behind with a casual explanation.

”That little creature should be able to evade the contagion of those little flames for some time if it’s careful,” he said with measured words. ”But I do not want to have it slip up and make a mistake and be affected by flames that are not your own power, not your own achievement.”

His voice carried satisfaction.

”So I’ve gone ahead and suppressed them temporarily. They remain within you without being capable of affecting anything external. This is my gift to you, junior, to make sure that your fight is decided by your hands and your Way as much as possible.”

...!

Tor smiled with brutal satisfaction when he said this, as if he had just made the greatest joke in existence by removing Noah’s protective curse.

Noah remained analytically calm as he took another step forward and disappeared across Gigaparsecs of distance, moving ever closer to the monstrous Toxoghra through spatial compression!

The glorious standoff between them intensified as Toxoghra roared again with increased fury. A dark green sea of concentrated poison began to swirl around its massive form, orbiting like a planetary ring made of pure toxicity.

The floating rivers of stellar verdant-obsidian light that had been drifting around converged on the creature, merging with its conjured sea to create a domain of absolute poison.

Noah observed with precision that if his existence became wrapped up in just a single drop of liquid from that poisonous sea, much of his weavings would begin to unravel and deteriorate at the fundamental level.

So at this moment, he breathed out slowly and his eyes began to shine with the light of brutality and determination mixed together.

He spoke commandingly to his own existence.

”Burn an Unquantifiable Unit of Everything to support my Existence. Let my Way be expressed fully!”

...!

The moment these words emerged from his mouth, his entire existence buzzed with wonder and possibility.

Prompts bloomed before his vision with unprecedented glory.

|THE Organ of Civilization is joyous at the usage and purpose of the Unquantifiable Unit of Everything.|

|One Unquantifiable Unit of Everything has been utilized to allow for the True Expression of The Sovereignty of Mana and Hunger around your existence for 1 minute.|

|If your existence can elevate this Sovereignty to the utmost and infuse it with unfathomable Harvest through combat and consumption, THE Organ of Civilization will continue to mature gradually until THE Surface Depth of Absolute Sovereignty of Mana and Hunger is attained, however immeasurably long and arduous that journey may be.|

|Current Duration: 60 seconds.|

|Warning: Use this time wisely.|

...!

BOOM!

The phenomenon that erupted around Noah was glorious beyond description.

Gold-blue seas filled with crimson stellar brilliance began to rage around his form like a living aura of concentrated authority. His entire figure became surrounded by this swirling ocean of power that represented the fundamental nature of his chosen Way.

His appearance transformed dramatically.

Gold-blue wings erupted from his back, each feather composed of compressed Mana that sparkled with inner light. The wings spread wide, spanning what looked like light-years in their full extension.

His eyes released crimson beams of pure light that cut through the toxic atmosphere, illuminating everything they touched. His hair floated upward as if suspended in water, each strand glowing with blue-gold radiance.

His skin took on a celestial quality, appearing simultaneously solid and translucent, as if he existed partially in multiple states. Patterns of flowing Mana traced across his flesh in intricate designs that shifted and evolved.

His expression burned with glory and determination as he roared toward Toxoghra at this moment, his entire visage seeming like a primordial beast declaring war against the natural order!

The True Expression of The Sovereignty of Mana and Hunger for 1 minute per Unquantifiable Unit of Everything!

Using such a rare and precious fuel to enter such a glorious state of existence meant that he had to use this one minute to its absolute fullest potential!

So...

”Fight!”

His voice boomed out across the distance as he took another step forward, closing the gap.

”Fight!”

He got ever closer to Toxoghra as the creature also roared toward him in response, its full Sovereignty of Poison being expressed through the swirling toxic sea!

”FIGHT!”

Noah roared one last time as he surged forward at maximum speed, and the swirling poisonous sea of Toxoghra clashed directly with his swirling blue-gold sea filled with crimson stellar light!

The contact between these two Ways caused the surrounding space to fizzle and tremble violently. Reality itself strained under the pressure of conflicting Sovereignties asserting their dominance.

A glorious high-paced symphony of battle began!

The impacting seas created explosions of authority that obliterated everything nearby. The poisonous sea held vastly more Complexity and Purity, powered by Toxoghra’s Decillion-level existence. By all conventional measurements, they should have devoured Noah’s seas of Mana and Hunger which held merely Septillions.

And yet, Mana and Hunger were not pushed back at all!

Because they were unfathomably grand Ways that touched on fundamental aspects of existence itself. Even if Poison was more complex currently in raw numerical terms, how could it possibly stand against the pure expression of Mana and Hunger?

This became the first time in his existence that Noah truly observed how Complexity and Purity could be overcome with the sheer expression of a much higher and much grander Way of existence!

The realization was profound and terrifying in its implications.

And at the point of impact where their seas clashed with explosive force, Noah and Toxoghra also met in direct combat!

Noah’s hands, wreathed in the swirling seas of Mana and Hunger, shot forward with devastating speed. His arms transformed mid-strike into 9 heads of a Primordial Mana-Flame Wyrm, their serpentine forms writhing with glorious power of his Way.

Their jaws opened wide to unleash beams of blue-gold flaming brilliance that burned with the heat of collapsing folds!

Meanwhile, Toxoghra unleashed a plague sea of concentrated poison forward from its massive mouth. The toxic wave contained every variation of venom and corruption it had mastered over eons.

The two attacks collided!

CRASH!

The explosion carved a crater in the swamp that extended for hundreds of light-years, vaporizing the poisonous waters and turning the ancient trees to ash instantly.

Noah was pushed backward by the force of impact, his feet carving trenches through the compressed ground as he struggled to maintain position.

Toxoghra...was still many times stronger. Even with the difference in their Ways, this fucking toad was stronger!

Toxoghra pressed its advantage immediately.

The creature lunged forward with surprising speed for its massive size, its enormous body moving through the toxic waters like a torpedo. One of its massive limbs swung out to strike Noah with the force of a Fold-killing impact.

BOOM!

Noah raised his arms to block, but the sheer difference in sheer power and Sovereignty meant the blow sent him flying backward. He crashed through a swamp mountain, his body carving a tunnel straight through the poisonous stone before emerging on the other side.

Golden Blood sprayed from his mouth as he recieved a direct impact from the display of The Way of Poison! The Sovereignty of Poison!

But The True Expression of The Sovereignty of Mana and Hunger immediately went to work, flooding his damaged tissues with healing authority. The injuries began to close even as Toxoghra pursued relentlessly.

The monstrous entity opened its mouth and unleashed a technique.

”Plague Breath: Ten Thousand Toxin Cascade!”

A waterfall of different colored poisons erupted from Toxoghra’s maw, each shade representing a different form of toxicity. Green for corrosion, purple for necrosis, yellow for paralysis, black for dissolution.

The cascade spread across light-years of space, impossible to dodge completely.

Noah’s wings flared as he attempted to evade, His Way of Existence churning furiously all around him, but portions of the toxic waterfall sliced through his Mana and Hunger and caught his left arm and leg.

The limbs immediately began to liquefy, flesh melting away to reveal bone beneath!

Oh!

Oh!!!

The pain was excruciating, but Noah roared through it!

His Way surged through the damaged areas, Mana reconstructing tissue while Hunger devoured the invasive poison. Within seconds, the limbs had fully regenerated.

But Toxoghra was already upon him again!

The creature’s massive foot came down like a hammer, aiming to crush Noah entirely. He rolled aside at the last instant, the impact creating a crater where he had been floating.

Noah retaliated by transforming his entire right arm into a single massive Wyrm head that lunged forward to bite into Toxoghra’s leg, The Way of Hunger blazing!

The jaws clamped down with grinding force, tearing through toxic flesh and devouring everything they could.

Toxoghra howled in pain and kicked violently, sending Noah tumbling across the landscape again. He smashed through three more poisonous mountains before managing to stabilize himself.

The battle was clearly weighted in Toxoghra’s favor at this time as this fucker was truly powerful- this being something that nobody could deny!

The vastly more complex entity, paired with its Way that it had refined for eons longer than Noah had even existed, pushed Noah back repeatedly. With every major impact, Noah was thrown and smashed across this grand and terrifying swamp region as Way clashed against Way, and neither Way gave up!

Even as the True Expression of The Sovereignty of Mana and Hunger continued to protect his internal existence, externally his body was taking tremendous punishment everytime they continued to clash.

He would try to keep things long ranged, but Toxoghra did not relent and came as close as he could his way deadly!

His skin and muscle became shredded repeatedly as they got infected with concentrated poison that Mana and Hunger had to constantly heal and cleanse. The only reason his core existence wasn’t reached and destroyed was because his Way continued to burn brightly around him like armor. Like an illusory form of his Living Mana-Born Existential Armor!

But the external damage was mounting.

In the impacts that followed...

Half of Noah’s face was melted off by a direct splash of acid poison, revealing his skull beneath. His chest was punctured by a crystallized poison spear that Toxoghra conjured, creating a hole!

His left arm was torn completely off at one point, flying through the air before dissolving into toxic residue.

And yet, every injury healed within seconds as his Way refused to let him fall!

The battle raged across the entire swamp region, their clash creating permanent scars in the landscape.

And then came a point where Noah felt his Way shining brilliantly after he...came in contact with The Way of Poison so much and even felt it all within his existence from thr many injuries.

Noah looked at the monstrous Toxoghra through eyes that blazed with realization. Blood dripped from his constantly-healing wounds as he bellowed out with commanding authority.

”Your poison was powered by my Mana.” he declared with absolute certainty. ”Your birth involved my Mana existing first! Your existence relied on this fundamental authority until you got to this point!”

HUUM!

The words carried the weight of truth.

”Mana is behind poison! Mana is behind all changes in existence! And Hunger consumes all things, including toxicity itself!”

After Noah made such grand declarations, Existence began to tremble!
