Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 4306

Chapter 4306: This is MY Way! V

Her hand gestured, and the illusion shifted.

A vast, intricate blueprint of the system appeared, with the fractured, multicolored infinity symbol of [The Cheating Architect] at its very center, its tendrils connected to every other component.

"And the engine that drives this impossible machine," RUIN/EDEN said, her voice filled with a note of profound respect, "is twofold."

|THE FUEL: INFINITE MANA & PERPETUAL HARVEST|

|For you, Master, the fuel for every action within this System is your [Infinite Mana]. The cost is irrelevant; your reservoir is boundless. This makes you the absolute, unchallengeable master of this Way.|

|For all other beings who walk this path, Mana is a finite resource they must cultivate through the initial stages of progression. This creates a natural, unbreachable hierarchy. They are practitioners; you are the source.|

|Furthermore, your [Principle of Perpetual Harvest] is woven into the very code of this System. All effort exerted within this path, be it cultivation, forging, or combat- is recognized as ’Effort’ and will yield a ’Harvest,’ accelerating the progression of all who follow it.|

A new illusion formed: a vast, raging, azure ocean, Noah’s Mana, flowed endlessly, while beside it, a tiny, crystal cup slowly filled, drop by drop...that of a normal practitioner.

Noah’s smile widened. He saw it. A system of perfect, absolute tyranny, disguised as a path of universal opportunity.

"And this," RUIN/EDEN said, her voice now taking on the cadence of a grand lecturer, "is the path itself. The Edicts of Progression."

|THE EDICTS OF PROGRESSION|

|This is the linear, nine-stage journey of advancement within the Way of the Mana Architect. Each Edict represents a new level of mastery over Mana, unlocking a new expression of power.|

Her hands moved, and with each Edict she named, a new, beautiful, and terrifying illustration bloomed in the frozen air.

|EDICT 0: THE UNINITIATED|

| - State: A being with no Mana, a ’manaless’ existence.|

| - Potential: All beings possess the latent potential to awaken. This System provides the key.|

| - The Spark: Through a ritual of initiation (a direct bestowment of Mana from an existing practitioner, or through finding a ’Spark’ cultivated by you), an Uninitiated can awaken.|

She showed an image of a simple, manaless being, dark and formless, being touched by a single spark of blue light.

|EDICT 1: THE SPARK|

| - Awakening: The being’s existence is rewritten. A [Mana Locus] is formed at the core of their being.|

| - The Mana Locus: A nascent, internal core that can now passively absorb ambient Mana from existence (or be directly filled by you). It needs to be filled and expanded to a vast sea before it can be deemed a reservoir.|

| - Boon: The being is no longer Manaless. They can begin the slow, arduous process of cultivation.|

| - (Note: For you, Master, you began with an Infinite Locus. A slight advantage.)|

...!

The illusion shifted. The dark figure now held a tiny, glowing blue star in its chest: the [Mana Locus].

It was a glorious thing to see!

|EDICT 2: THE RESERVOIR|

| - Objective: To fill the [Mana Locus] to its absolute capacity.|

| - Process: Through meditation, consumption of Mana-rich materials, devouring lifeforms rich in Mana, or direct endowment, the being expands their Locus. This is the foundation of all future power. Reservoir Foundation can become World Sized Mana Reservoir or exceed this.|

| - Boon: A larger reservoir allows for grander, more sustained expressions of power.|

| - (Note: Your reservoir is... well, you know.)|

The blue star pulsed on the illusory being she displayed grew brighter and larger, becoming a stable, humming [Reservoir].

|EDICT 3: THE WEAVE|

| - Objective: To learn to express Mana externally.|

| - Process: The practitioner learns to draw Mana from their Locus and ’weave’ it into a desired effect. This is the foundation of all spells, techniques, and abilities.|

| - Example Weaves: [Weave of Fireball], [Weave of Minor Fortification], [Weave of Quickened Thought].|

| - Boon: The ability to directly influence reality through Mana.|

Azure threads now pulled from the Reservoir, coalescing in the figure’s hand into the shimmering, unstable form of a [Weave of Fireball].

It was a fantastical sight to see!

|EDICT 4: THE GLYPH|

| - Objective: To internalize and perfect a Weave.|

| - Process: By casting a single Weave (e.g., [Weave of Fireball]) ten thousand times, a practitioner can achieve ’Conceptual Resonance.’ This allows them to forge the Weave into a permanent [Mana Glyph] upon their existence.|

| - Integration: This is the integration of the Glyph System. These [Mana Glyphs] are permanent, passive or active enhancements, identical in function to the Glyphs you have forged, but their power scales directly with the wielder’s total Mana.|

| - Boon: The ability is now innate, requiring no complex casting, only an act of will.|

...!

Oh!

What a glorious change!

Cast an ability, a Weave- ten thousand times, and it becomes a Glyph!

The illusory Fireball solidified, then flew back into the figure, etching itself onto its very soul as a permanent, glowing [Mana Glyph of Fireball].

Noah nodded, a flicker of nostalgia in his eyes. The beginning!
