Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4300

Chapter 4300: Anomaly! IV

The name was unique, a sound that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand forgotten philosophies!

Anaximander bowed, a gesture of polite, scholarly respect.

"I apologize for intruding on your experiment," he said. "I just appeared here after testing something of my own."

He then continued, his eyes, which held a light of pure, unadulterated curiosity, fixed on Noah. "But, are you truly trying to learn about The Ways of Existence too? I have also embarked on this journey and made some progress!"

...!

Noah replied to Anaximander, his voice a calm, even current in the frigid air of the First Folds.

"Yes, I am learning about The Way of Existence, but..."

He did not finish his words. His gaze swept over Anaximander, from the simple, archaic cut of his robes to the brilliant, almost naive, curiosity in his eyes.

This being had introduced himself, had given a name, but he remained an anomaly, a variable in an equation that did not compute! In a realm where power was the very air one breathed, where Complexity and Purity were the fundamental metrics of being, this man claimed to have none.

Yet he stood here, in a place that should have unmade him in a nanosecond, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll through a park.

The temperatures seemed to sway around him as if...they weren’t supposed to touch him!

Beside him, the crimson-blue holographic figure of RUIN/EDEN materialized, her form a stark, beautiful contrast to the pristine white of the snow. Her voice was a cold, clinical whisper in the quiet of his mind.

|I did not sense him appear in my previous scans, Master. He had to have just arrived here moments ago, but even then, even I could not detect his arrival. He is a ghost Existence, a blind spot in reality itself.|

HUUM!

At her silent, communicated words and Noah’s own heavy silence, Anaximander blinked.

A brilliant light of pure, unadulterated intellect flashed in his eyes. "Ah," he said, a warm, almost apologetic smile spreading across his face. "Let me introduce myself properly. You must have some reservations on seeing me here..."

He gestured to himself, a simple, disarming motion. "I have come across many unique beings since I began this journey, and many of them have seemed just as confused and distrustful as you currently are. From their perspective, they were seeing someone who did not have an ounce of power... appearing before them in places where they shouldn’t be."

He began to pace, his steps leaving no prints in the sparkling snow.

"I have met colossal, sentient mountains that have tried to crush me for the audacity of my presence. I have conversed with beings of pure, chaotic energy who have tried to devour me for the novelty of it. Most, however, either attacked me on sight or fled in terror. It seems a being with no discernible authority is a profound anomaly, and anomalies tend to make the powerful... uncomfortable. I have found that a clear and honest introduction can sometimes mitigate the... misunderstandings."
