Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4004

Chapter 4004: The 10 Living Existences! IV

Where would he stand when the time came?

The question hung in the garden’s impossible air, weighted with implications that stretched across existence itself.

Noah let the tension flow through the space, feeling how each Duke leaned into his eventual answer, when Duke Gwendolyn’s voice cut through the moment with surgical precision.

"When it comes to this, I have to mention something else." She turned to face the other Dukes, her stellar dark hair catching light.

"Something that makes his alignment with us..." she pointed directly at Noah, "clear."

The words fell into the garden like stones into still water, creating ripples of anticipation that made even the Wheels of Existence hanging from their branches slow their eternal rotations.

Something that made his alignment with them clear? Noah’s mind raced through possibilities, his enhanced perception catching the subtle shift in Gwendolyn’s posture that suggested she was about to cross a line they had agreed upon.

Duke Whisker’s stellar eyes flashed with sharp intensity, his tiny form radiating sudden wariness. "You seemed hesitant before, Gwendolyn. Why say it now?"

Noah’s expression hardened as understanding crystallized with cold certainty. He knew exactly what she planned to reveal, and his voice emerged with an almost rebuking edge that made the temperature in the garden drop perceptibly.

"You agreed not to share anything regarding that."

The words were delivered with the kind of controlled coldness that was more dangerous than any explosion!

Duke Gwendolyn met his gaze steadily, though something in her expression suggested she recognized the magnitude of what she was about to do.

"I did," she acknowledged with a slow nod. "But too much is now at stake. The balance of existence itself teeters on the edge of fundamental change." She paused, seeming to gather her resolve. "I have a body of mine actively protecting her, and you are beside her as well, so I have even less worry regarding her protection. All the Dukes here are those I would give my very existence to protect. I cannot be the only Duke who knows such critical information when the fate of all Living Origins might depend upon it."

...!

Noah’s eyes pulsed!

This fucker.

The blind Duke Valen straightened, his sightless eyes somehow managing to convey stern intensity despite their lack of function. His cane tapped once against the crystalline path, the sound reverberating through dimensions. "What do you mean, Gwendolyn? What information carries such weight that you would break a promise to reveal it?"

Duke Whisker, surprisingly, seemed to be lost in contemplation for a moment before his tiny features arranged themselves into an expression of concern.

When he spoke, his deep voice carried the weight of wisdom earned through witnessing the rise and fall of concepts themselves.

Duke Gwendolyn nodded solemnly, sealing their fate with words that could never be taken back. "The Young Miss. THE Living Order has been found. Secured. Protected." Her gaze turned to Noah with something that might have been apology. "She is closely entangled with him, and he with her. That is why I have no doubt he sides with us." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
