Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4254

Chapter 4254: The Early Laboratories! II

The command was a thunderclap in the serene, intellectual quiet of the Laboratories.

It was a voice that did not ask, but simply was, a fundamental law of this strange, sterile place!

The nine Early Creatures, beings of such immense power that they could have unmade Folds with a thought, did not flinch. They simply... obeyed.

Cepheus, the four-hundred-quadrillion-complexity giant whose gaze had been the most intense, turned his ancient, starlit eyes to Noah.

He beckoned, a simple, almost casual gesture. "We were not expecting another Assistant to be sent over so soon," he said, his voice the low, rumbling sound of distant Wheels colliding.

"Where did THE Living Concept find you in such short notice? I thought another Elderborn would not be found so quickly."

BOOM!

THE Living Concept!

Elderborn!

Terrifying words echoed out as Noah’s mind buzzed, with his entrance this time around actually being into an environment where the Weavings of THE Living Concept were taking place!

And Elderborn.

The term was a key, a clue, a new variable in an equation that was growing more complex by the second. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Noah’s eyes flashed with a sharp, analytical light, but he tilted his head, his expression a perfect mask of polite, well-meaning ignorance.

"What do you mean, Elderborn?"

At his question, the nine Early Creatures looked at each other, and a sound that had likely not been heard in this place for eons rippled through the air: laughter.

It was not a sound of mirth, but a dry, academic chuckle, the sound of those who knew more amused by a student’s fundamental, yet understandable, lack of knowledge.

"Ah, of course," another of the Creatures, Lyra, said, her voice a melody of pure, mathematical harmony.

"THE Living Concept has a tendency to... omit the introductory materials. It believes in learning through immersion, I suppose."

Cepheus gestured for Noah to walk with them, and the group began to move deeper into the stone-henge-like structure.

"An Elderborn," he explained, his tone now that of a patient, if somewhat condescending, mentor, "is an existence with a high concentration of the Everythings of THE Creature. Our own existences are born from the weavings of the Folds and THE Creature, shaped by the authorities of THE Living Existences. But you...and others are different. Your very essence carries a significant, foundational echo of the First Cause. You have qualities others do not, and are able to interact with existence in ways others cannot. It is why you are helpful to the research of THE Living Concept."

HUUM!

The shocking information was delivered with the casual air of a tour guide explaining a local landmark.

As they walked, Noah’s internal world was a flurry of activity.

|New Data Point Acquired: [Elderborn].|

|Definition: An existence possessing a high concentration of the Everythings of [THE Creature].|

|Analysis: This is a significant variable. It is the reason why they believe you were ’sent’ here. More information required for you to play thr part. Recommend continued feigned ignorance to maximize data acquisition.|

Noah nodded internally, his outward expression remaining one of polite curiosity.
