Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4411

Chapter 4411: Palisades IV

Noah closed his eyes as information flooded his consciousness, detailing the profound changes that major milestone had triggered.

Understanding settled into his mind like puzzle pieces finding their proper positions, and satisfaction curved his lips into a smile.

"I...can now project the Foundation Palisades beyond my internal manifestation," he said.

"I can extend civilizational protection around the physical domains where my people reside."

The Infiniverse. The Isolated Civilization.

Oh!

But that was only the first revelation.

The second proved even more consequential.

|Major Milestone Benefits- Foundation Palisades|

|Due to achieving major advancement threshold, your existence is now surrounded by immensity and weight of your Civilization|

|PROTECTION THRESHOLD: No creature possessing less than 200 Quintillion Complexity and Purity can harm your existence through any method or sustained effort|

|CIVILIZATION PREREQUISITE: To damage your existence, the attacker must be member of an established Civilization. Entities without civilizational affiliation cannot harm you regardless of their individual power|

|EXTENSION CAPABILITY: Minor Mana and Hunger Palisades can be granted to eighty-one members of your Civilization|

|—Grants recipients: Equivalent of 25 Quintillion Complexity and Purity in addition to their existing capabilities|

|—Provides: Civilization Prerequisite Protection (can only be harmed by members of other Civilizations)|

|Note: Protection threshold and number of recipients will increase as Civilization advances through designations|

...!

The prompts were glorious, and Noah absorbed every detail with tyrannical satisfaction.

He could extend civilizational protection to eighty-one others...Sigrid, Riya, Khor, his Family, his Seed Members, those he valued most.

Not only that, but at this moment nothing below two hundred Quintillion could harm him... even though his own Complexity and Purity had only just exceeded one hundred Quintillion!

The disparity confirmed what he had been following...Civilization was the true answer!

The benefits it conferred exceeded anything achievable through isolated power accumulation.

Imagine if he had declared for the Harvests to translate to pure Complexity and Purity.

Even if they somehow reached 200 Quintillion, he wouldn’t have established this clear demarcation of power of his Civilization, and would simply just have an idea that he was forging a Civilization...but nothing concrete.

He now had something concrete.

A Nascent Civilization.

With its Foundation Palisades growing grandly!

Noah gazed out at his growing Civilization as the Foundation Palisades continued drinking in essence of digested Civilizational Chains, walls climbing higher and growing more elaborate with each passing moment.

"Existence is... unpredictable," he said thoughtfully.

"Unpredictability is intrinsic to existence itself, unforeseen circumstances will continue manifesting around me regardless of preparation. The critical variable is not preventing unexpected events, but rather... how effectively I can respond to things I never anticipated."

...!

That would determine everything.

He knew with absolute certainty that terrifying situations similar to today’s encounter with THE Living Paradox would occur again.. perhaps soon, perhaps involving other entities of that stature.

Things he had not accounted for. Variables he could not predict.

He needed sufficient power when those moments arrived. Needed to face catastrophe without relying purely on fortune to survive it.

Building his Civilization was the answer!

—

While Noah observed the advancement of his grand Foundation Palisades within internal landscape, elsewhere in external reality, different scene was unfolding.

In a domain isolated by pure Primus Mana, manifested in the same region where THE Living Paradox had recently departed...Riya stood observing the distraught figure of Leonore Rureaux with sympathy.

The space around them pulsed with blue-gold allure, atmosphere itself saturated with Primus Mana serving dual purpose as environment and constraint.

"Did you know that frightening entity personally? Since you are a Living Paradox while he is THE Living Paradox... it’s rather difficult to determine whether you would consider such a being an ancestor of sorts, or perhaps something else entirely."

"Schrodinger was meant to be The Herald. The singular entity prophesied to guide us through The Fallout, to provide pathway toward survival when THE Loom erupts and consumes everything external to itself. If he was merely... fabrication, deliberate deception, then circumstances were engineered from inception to be fundamentally unsurvivable."

BOOM!

"If THE Weavers who approached him claiming something catastrophic was approaching, declaring him Herald meant to save us...if all of that was simply elaborate theater, then they anticipated every possible angle. Ensured that this Fallout will not be something we can survive regardless of preparation or accumulated power."

"The only mitigating circumstance is that man I have been hearing legends about for essentially my entire existence...I’ve just encountered him directly, and he exceeds even the most exaggerated stories. I simply need to do everything within my capability to assist him, to ensure THE Loom doesn’t erase everything residing outside its boundaries."
