Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4396

Chapter 4396: The Doctrines of Hunger III

Noah watched such a scene with profound understanding lighting his eyes.

Khor had inherited everything!

She consumed Tor completely and eventually became THE First Hunger through that act!

In the next moment...

CRACK!

The scene shattered entirely like glass struck with overwhelming force.

Noah found his eyes opening, consciousness returning to his body, gaze locking onto the current Khor floating above the Isolated Civilization.

Around them, the Mana had turned crimson-blue...his Primus Mana mixing with her resurgent Hunger.

Their eyes locked.

Khor smacked his hand away from her face with violent force, her crimson eyes blazing with rage!

HUUM!

"Why did you do that?!" she bellowed, her complexity seething!

"WHY?! I had forgotten! I had finally, after eons, managed to forget!"

BOOM!

Her figure radiated terrifying power as pain flooded her expression, ancient grief mixing with resurgent loss!

Noah gazed at her with solemn eyes as prompts cascaded down.

|Multiple existential seals binding target "Khor" have been broken|

|Primus Mana elevation induced quintessential restoration results exceeding projected parameters|

|Target’s power currently increasing exponentially - quantification pending complete stabilization|

|Emotional instability detected - psychological trauma from memory restoration may cause unpredictable behavior|

...!

In the midst of cascading power, Khor’s eyes retained their rage as she roared toward Noah.

"Why did you make me remember?! I had forgotten!"

BOOM!

Riya appeared beside Noah instantly, her expression stern as her jewel-blue eyes flashed with coldness and caution.

She assessed Khor with combat readiness, prepared to defend despite the growing and obvious power disparity.

Kael and dozens of other Seed Members at 50 Quintillion began manifesting behind them, their forms blazing!

And shockingly, these terrifically powerful beings felt oppression from Khor’s resurgent presence...weight that suggested she was approaching and exceeding their collective capabilities.

At such a time, Noah looked at Khor with eyes carrying pity rather than fear.

"Tell me," he said quietly, "what is the Ninth Doctrine of Hunger?"

...!

His words caused Khor’s figure to tremble, rage faltering as her eyes filled with immense complexity.

The raging aura around her began calming...settling into something more controlled.

She looked upward, her gaze hazy as if seeking something distant she could no longer touch, as if Noah’s figure overlapped with someone she had known a long, long time ago...and then she began speaking.

"The Ninth Doctrine of Hunger states that all that which is hungered and devoured never leaves us. It only...becomes part of us. Part of The Way of Hunger. We carry everything we’ve consumed as part of what we are."

After she finished, Noah nodded with gentle understanding.

"Those who walk The Way of Hunger are never truly gone," he said softly. "They are part of you. Tor... is part of you. Has been, all this time. You didn’t lose him...you carry him with every action, every thought, every expression of Hunger."

...!

Khor’s body trembled as she bit her lip, nodding slowly while closing her eyes to center herself.

She took some more seconds.

And then...

"Thank you, Outsider, and apologies for the outburst..." she said silently.

...!

She looked toward Noah, preparing to say more..

But at this moment, she saw that Noah wasn’t even gazing at her anymore.

His eyes were hazy, distant, as shockingly he was repeating the Doctrines of Hunger while looking upwards!

"All that which is hungered and devoured never leaves us..."

"Hunger is the fundamental acknowledgment of incompleteness..."

"Hunger must remain carefree in its pursuit..."

"True Hunger establishes natural hierarchy..."

...!

Ozymandias.

Amidst this shocking development, as even Riya and the Seed Members observed with mounting unease, Noah, in his trance, saw glorious prompts materializing!

|A part of your existence that IS your existence and IS NOT your existence has truly and completely embarked upon The Way of Hunger|

|—The Way of the Mana Architect (Primary, Established)|

|—The Way of Hunger (Secondary, Emerging through Ozymandias)|

BOOM!
