Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4044

Chapter 4044: Force and Mercy! II

The weight of his words pressed against consciousness itself.

The assembled Living Origins stood frozen, most only able to meet his gaze!

The army of Paradoxes behind him remained perfectly still, awaiting a single gesture that would transform this confrontation into catastrophe.

Into the suffocating silence, a small figure stepped forward.

Duke Whisker emerged from among the Living Origins, his tiny mouse form radiating dignity that transcended size.

His stellar eyes met Schrodinger’s paradoxical gaze without flinching, and when he spoke, his voice carried the weight of eons of accumulated wisdom.

"It seems that we are at fault for intruding." The admission was delivered without shame or fear, simply acknowledging reality.

"We will simply take our people and leave."

Schrodinger’s smile bloomed with genuine pleasure at the response. "Your people?" He gestured toward the assembled Dukes. "I see you all here... but could you mean the ones inside this Doorway? The ones among whom is someone exuding all these rays of light that paint my Folds with...Order? Is it Order? It cannot possibly be Order, right?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

HUUM!

Immense silence settled over the gathering.

Schrodinger adopted an obviously contemplative expression, as if wrestling with a difficult decision.

Finally, he sighed with theatrical weariness.

"Hey, aren’t we all striving through existence together?" His tone shifted to something almost friendly. "How about this, we won’t make any... moves. Your people can come out and leave freely. For the sake of the coming Kleos Concordat, The Living Paradoxes will let this indiscretion slide."

...!

He spread his hands in a gesture of magnanimity.

"We are all on the same side after all, right?" His gaze shifted to fix directly on Duke Gwendolyn’s paradoxical body. "You all even have a Living Paradox on your side, which I haven’t even focused on at this time."

Duke Whisker’s expression remained neutral, but others among the Living Origins showed visible discomfort at this observation.

The implications were clear...Schrodinger could have made this about betrayal, about a Paradox siding with Origins. He was choosing not to.

In the heavy atmosphere that followed, in that prolonged silence where possibility and probability held their breath, the Living Origin body of Duke Gwendolyn stepped forward.

Her usually controlled features showed something that might have been somberness mixed with understanding as she looked toward Schrodinger.

"Thank you."

Two words.

Thank you!

Simple. Direct. Exactly what he had wanted.

He was given his thank you!

Schrodinger nodded lightly, the gesture containing satisfaction that transcended simple pleasure.

His attention turned toward the Doorway, and following his lead, every eye...stellar, paradoxical, conceptual...fixed on that entrance.

The white rays of Order still streamed forth, painting large swaths of the Transcendent Paradoxical Folds with light that made Paradox uncomfortable. Whatever was causing that phenomenon would have to emerge soon.

Ten seconds passed.

Twenty seconds passed in absolute silence! No one moved. No one spoke. The tension grew with each heartbeat that some of them still possessed.

Then...

WAP!

Figures emerged from the Doorway.
