Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4517: Brutality! IV

Pyrokhan’s entire body coiled and then lunged with apocalyptic force. Its movements were cataclysmic, each motion forming flaming mountains and volcanic eruptions in its wake.

As it moved, volcanoes spontaneously formed from the sheer heat and pressure of its passage. Each volcano immediately erupted, launching continent-sized masses of molten rock toward Noah at relativistic speeds. As if they were tachyons of molten brilliance traveling far faster than light itself!

The surrounding existence melted from the impacts. Space liquified, time burned away, and causality itself became unstable.

Noah raised his right foot, now glowing like a blue-gold sun, and stomped down on the first incoming volcanic mountains.

CRASH!

His foot, wrapped in the True Expression of his Sovereignty, erased everything, breaking down theWay of Fire that composed it and converting it into pure Mana that he absorbed.

Pyrokhan responded by opening its massive circular mouth and unleashing a beam of concentrated fire that could have melted Primordial Folds.

Noah raised both hands, his arms now glowing with the same solar intensity as his feet, and...clapped them together.

PAH!

BOOM!

The clap created a shockwave of Mana and Hunger that intercepted the fire beam and devoured it entirely!

But Pyrokhan was relentless.

The creature’s body coiled around the battlefield, creating a ring of volcanic mountains that all erupted simultaneously toward the center where Noah floated.

Hundreds of Decillion-level volcanic projectiles converged on his position from every direction!

Noah’s limbs blazed brighter as he spun in place, his arms and legs trailing arcs of blue-gold and crimson light. Each limb that struck an incoming volcano completely scorched away the fire authority that composed it.

His movements were precise and economical, wasting no energy.

But some attacks got through.

A stream of molten plasma struck his left shoulder, burning through his protective aura and charring flesh down to the bone. Another volcanic boulder crashed into his back, creating a crater in his torso.

Noah did not even make a sound.

His expression remained calm and analytical as the injuries rapidly healed, his Way flooding the damaged areas with regenerative authority.

His enemy was still much more powerful than him in raw numerical terms, but the quality of his Way was too grand for Pyrokhan to overcome.

The battle raged across the volcanic region, their clashes creating permanent scars in the landscape.

Noah continued gathering high concentrations of his Way of Mana and Hunger onto the extremities of his limbs. More and more authority compressed into smaller and smaller spaces.

Pyrokhan used fire to warp existence itself, melting everything to instsntly appear around Noah as it wrapped its elongated body around him like a constrictor, applying pressure that would have crushed everything! The creature’s skin burned with such intensity that it turned Noah’s flesh black and crispy.

Noah simply raised his arms, which now looked like endlessly radiant blue-gold suns, and pushed outward.

CRACK!

Pyrokhan’s body was forced away, sections of its flesh scorched and burned by contact with Noah’s limbs.

The creature shrieked and created a volcanic apocalypse, summoning thousands of erupting mountains simultaneously!

Noah’s legs, also glowing like miniature suns of concentrated authority, kicked out repeatedly. Each kick generated a blade of compressed Mana and Hunger that sliced through the volcanic formations and scorched away their fire authority.

His arms punched forward, creating shockwaves that erased entire mountain ranges.

The radiance from his limbs grew brighter and brighter until it actually began to scorch away the scorching flames of Pyrokhan itself!

Eventually, as his arms and legs looked like shining blue-gold suns that outshone everything in the region, Noah spoke with calm and domineering certainty.

”Your Way of Fire,” he said without emotion, ”is a subset of Mana. Fire cannot exist without Mana providing its foundation. Fire cannot burn without Mana fueling its reaction. Fire cannot spread without Mana carrying its authority.”

His limbs blazed even brighter.

”And Hunger consumes all things, including the very concept of heat and combustion that you have tried to claim. Your Sovereignty is incomplete. Your claim is weak. And ultimately, your entire existence can only be devoured.”

The creature shrieked and bellowed with desperate fury, unleashing everything it had accumulated over eons!

A final volcanic cataclysm erupted, creating a sea of molten destruction that should have obliterated anything in the Decillions of Complexity scale!

And Noah had just stepped in the Nonillions!

Yet...

Noah simply walked forward through it, his sun-like limbs scorching away all fire authority they contacted.

He reached Pyrokhan’s main body and grabbed it with both hands.

The creature tried to burn him, tried to melt his grip, but Noah’s hands had become something beyond simple flesh.

They were manifestations of his Way made solid.

And then, brutally, he began to rip Pyrokhan apart.

His fingers tore through flesh that should have been impervious. His hands scorched the creature’s Sovereignty, burning away its claim to Fire piece by piece.

Pyrokhan writhed and screamed, but Noah was merciless.

He proceeded to brutally eat the creature’s Way of existence piece by piece, consuming its Fire Sovereignty bite by bloody bite.

His own Way shone ever brighter with each consumption!

The end scene was apocalyptic and destructive. Blood boiled and evaporated. Flesh charred and disintegrated. The surrounding existence buzzed with resonance and melted from the sheer intensity.

And when it was finally over, Noah stood alone amidst the devastation, his body still glowing with solar radiance as the last traces of Pyrokhan’s existence were absorbed.

As the battle ended, even Tor was looking at him with shining eyes of genuine appreciation.

This being who loved to talk, who always had commentary and philosophy to share...

Had no words.

He simply smiled with profound satisfaction and nodded once.

The message was clear: Noah had exceeded expectations again!

And they were just getting started.

As glory unfolded in a far, far distant past...

The Present Era.

In the Heart of Elemental, within the Transcendent Elemental Folds.

The domain stretched across Gigaparsecs of compressed space, a testament to the ancient power of the residual Civilization of Elementals. Glorious elemental towers rose like titans frozen in eternal ascent, each one carved from crystallized authority that pulsed with fundamental forces.

The entire region was surrounded by spinning Transcendent Wheels of Existence, massive constructs that rotated with glory.

This was the seat of power for the Living Elementals, a place that had stood unconquered for eons!

Well, until today...as this was about to drastically be changed.
