Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse - Chapter 3641

Chapter 3641: True! IV
The words of the Great Beyonder were heavy, filled with the weight of shocking truths as Noah looked at her sternly.

The convergence point of the Absolute Complex True Source, the Wheel of Existence, was more like a prison. Nothing could enter or leave.

The native inhabitants of the Wheel of Existence had some leeway. They could send their Remnant Weavings or Trace Wills down. But ever since the Wheel shifted into a defensive state- bombarded from all sides of the Infinite Ravines by countless Dead Things, it had closed itself off entirely.

Any True Source that entered it was forced to remain there.

And if someone tried to force their way in like petulant children throwing a tantrum outside a locked house…

Well, a lot could go wrong!

One such legend had done exactly that. Tired of endless battles and the responsibility of protecting the Infinite Ravines, they tried to return- sending at least half of their weavings back into the Wheel of Existence.

The result? A Dead Thing slipped through.

Bob!

Noah’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the Great Beyonder, who went on:

“He tried to fix his mistake. Sacrificed that half of his True Source to destroy the thing he let in. We thought he succeeded, we thought only a tiny fragment of that Dead Thing remained, so small it would collapse on its own. We didn’t expect it to survive, thrive…and rise stronger than ever within the Wheel of Existence where the rest of us can’t even return.”

…!

Noah remained silent, his weavings making rapid calculations, while the Great Beyonder continued.

“We confirmed it’s the True Source of an existence that gets locked within the Infinite Ravines. When we once brought a Prime Source Complexity Entity there, they could still go in and out, because the issue was only with True Sources. I believed the Wheel found True Sources difficult to manage inside itself and that’s why it kept them out. But beings at the Prime Complexity level? That wasn’t too difficult.”

“But all the Dead Things? They possess True Sources. They’re dead, yes, but they can survive outside the umbrella of a Wheel of Existence, at least for a while…because of their powerful True Sources. In the Infinite Ravines, anything less than a True Source will be crushed. Ground down by the purity and convergence of existence. They wouldn’t survive even a minute”

Her gaze was heavy as she raised her eyes to him, almost pleading!

“So no. Don’t come. You’re the first entity in ages to rise with a True Source…and also have someone like me to explain what’s happening. Everyone else who attains a True Source? They all feel the same pull. That same brilliance of the convergence- the old weavings of the Wheel calling out towards the Infinite Ravines. And maybe…maybe that’s the Wheel’s intentional doing. Creating more guards for itself. Or maybe it’s just how existence is woven as there is nothing inherently malicious with it. Maybe the constant attacks from Dead Things forced the Wheel into a defensive state…and that changed everything.”

“I don’t know the full truth. I can’t say the full truth. But if you step into the Infinite Ravines, the True Source you just forged- most, if not all of its power- will be pulled there. You’ll find very little of your complexity remains behind.”

WAA!

Her eyes held complex emotions. Through her words, one could sense doubt- not toward Noah, but toward the intentions of the Wheel itself.

The Wheel of Existence was not fair.

The Wheel of Existence was not kind.

It reacted instinctively to threats, and its changes were absolute.

As Noah finished listening, his gaze hardened with calmness. He asked the Great Beyonder.

“If a True Source gets locked down in the Infinite Ravines, shouldn’t it be fine…if the existence holds multiple True Sources? If only one Source is trapped, another Source can remain active within the Wheel.”

…!

He spoke such wild, nonsensical words that the Great Beyonder couldn’t help but blink, then burst into laughter.

“Multiple True Sources in one existence? That’s a dream, big guy. The Wheel of Existence itself is a single True Source. Any entity that raises their complexity high enough can only attain one. You’re telling me that you, who just barely awakened your first True Source…already believe you can forge a second? A third? A True Source is the very definition of your existence. One cannot have multiple definitions.”

She shook her head, a wry smile tugging at her lips. She had head some insane things lately, but this? This topped them all.

“No. If you’ve awakened your True Source here, then use it. Cleanse the Wheel of Existence from the inside. Stop that Dead Thing from continuing to run rampant.”

Noah looked at her valiant expression as he shook his head. She didn’t believe him, and honestly…he didn’t need her to.

He already had two True Sources.

The True Source Atlas of Existence, and now, the True Source of the Singed.

He simply gave her a calm look, saying nothing about the body of his that was already burning with the brilliance of the True Flame of the Singed as it departed the Infiniverse Megalos and entered that unfathomably dark expanse he only felt when he Severed his Weavings of Existence.

He didn’t tell her how that part of him followed the flow of an endlessly vast sea headed toward the point of convergence. Whether the journey took hours or days…he did not know. But at least he had already begun.

What he did say was far more simple as he nodded.

“With the attainment of a True Source, I can now more easily peer across the frequencies of existence. I’ll find the Dead Thing and have a rematch.”

His eyes glowed with luminous brilliance as he thought of Bob and his own complex weavings of existence now.

This time, after such a tremendous jump in complexity, how would he fare against a being that held two Absolute Complex True Source that were dead and shattered black and white Wheels?

The answer would only be found by trying.

And to locate Bob…

He turned his attention to his main body, still within the Infiniverse Megalos.

He was currently looking at the Queen of Matter, the Infiniverse Megalos Body positioned beside her, watching her as the weavings of the three states of existence swirling around her.

Matter. Dark Matter. Anti-Matter.

The Infiniverse Megalos sought to tap into the Fabled Weavings of Existence granted by the Queen of Matter. She sought to use her gaze to pierce the frequencies of existence and locate a single, slippery Dead Thing.

Add to that the fact that Noah’s rise with the Singed’s True Source had begun to ignite a True Flame within the very depths of the Infiniverse Megalos itself as its foundation built from Noah’s weavings…its complexity was rising sharply.

And because of that, finding the hidden figure of Bob…was now only a matter of time!
