Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

After these extensive prompts settled into his consciousness, Noah felt his existence surging with power that threatened to explode outward in visible manifestation.

His body nearly erupted with radiance that would have been impossible to conceal, but revealing such dramatic transformation to THE Dead Order would expose information better kept hidden!

He contained the eruption internally with tremendous effort, suppressing most of the display through sheer disciplined will.

But a portion still leaked despite his best efforts!

His body flashed with blue-gold brilliance as Primus Mana surged through every particle of his being with overwhelming concentration.

An aura of profound ancientness began radiating from him...not the ancientness of accumulated years but of primevality, suggesting connection to existence's earliest moments!

The unmistakable signature of a Primordial Civilization leaked from him like light escaping through cracks in sealed vessel!

This development astonished THE Dead Order so profoundly that she rose abruptly from her white throne, her perfect composure fracturing as recognition struck with undeniable force.

Because she did not sense Order emanating from Noah to explain the presence of Primordial Civilization signature.

This was something else entirely...something she hadn't anticipated, nor did she recognize!

How could there be a Primordial Civilization...that she djd not recognize?!

She voiced her astonishment aloud with rare display of genuine shock.

"How do you emanate the distinctive resonance of a Primordial Civilization?! You...who are you truly?!"

HUUM!

Noah couldn't answer at this moment.

His entire focus dedicated itself to containing and directing surging power rather than leaking it wastefully or allowing it to destabilize his carefully constructed weavings.

Sigrid moved behind him with fluid grace, her body embracing him from behind as her presence helped stabilize the tumultuous transformation.

Her own connection to Order provided grounding influence, calming the wild surges!

Additional prompts bloomed as the immediate crisis began settling.

|DEVELOPMENT STATUS - PRIMORDIAL CIVILIZATION RECOGNITION|

|Your budding Primordial Civilization of Mana and Hunger has not yet reached sufficient developmental level to fully enjoy all boons and standing of mature Primordial Civilizations|

|Current Maturity: Nascent Civilization|

|HOWEVER:|

|Due to the heavy advancement of your Way that you have just achieved through comprehensive understanding, you can now access LIMITED BENEFITS of Primordial Civilization status|

|CURRENT ACCESS LEVEL: 10% of full Primordial Civilization standing and capabilities|

|This percentage will increase as your Civilization advances through systematic elevation and accumulated recognition to grander Designations.|

|IMMEDIATE BENEFIT UNLOCKED:|

|EXISTENTIAL COMMUNICATION AND PERMEATION OF THE PRIMORDIAL CIVILIZATION OF MANA AND HUNGER|

|All beings across existence comprehend and use Mana and Hunger principles instinctively because those concepts are woven into how consciousness itself operates|

|Everyone understands what Hunger means...the drive for growth, the recognition of incompleteness|

|Everyone grasps what Mana represents...fundamental energy, basic building block of sophisticated authorities|

|Across Observable Existence, all those who experience Hunger and feed their appetite for advancement...|

|All those who utilize Mana or similar energy-based authorities in any form...|

|ALL OF THEM will now feed into your Civilization automatically|

|Your Way of Existence gains passive accumulation from their actions|

|CURRENT COLLECTION RATE: 10% of potential maximum|

|These boons will begin accruing... NOW.|

BOOM!

The glorious scene that unfolded transcended simple visual spectacle!

Noah felt like vast seas of concentrated essence manifesting around him from countless different directions simultaneously.

Blue-gold Mana materialized in impossible quantities from everywhere.

The accumulated Mana manipulation occurring across entire existence suddenly possessed conduit flowing toward him as focal point.

Obsidian-crimson Hunger surged alongside it...concentrated appetite and drive for advancement collected from innumerable beings pursuing cultivation through countless methodologies at this moment!

Every expression of Hunger across reality contributed fractional essence that aggregated into overwhelming current.

These seas of collected authority flooded into him and immediately began surging toward his Foundation Palisades...his Civilization's framework drinking deeply of unprecedented influx, walls growing taller and more elaborate with each passing moment.

Simultaneously, additional recognition bloomed:

|PERPETUAL HARVEST - UNPRECEDENTED DEVELOPMENT DETECTED|

|The Principle is sensing thr commencement of the endless stream of incoming harvests from all of Existence|

|This represents fundamental shift from finite accumulation to infinite collection|

|Perpetual Harvest cheers with immense satisfaction at your advancement of The Way!|

|All incoming harvest from Existential Communication and Permeation will be amplified perpetually by Perpetual Harvest's inherent capabilities!|

|This creates exponential growth curve rather than linear accumulation|

|Your advancement velocity will accelerate dramatically from this point forward|

...!

Existential Communication. Permeation!

The implications settled with weight that made even Noah's tyrannical ambition pause!

Oh!

From this moment forward, any usage of Hunger anywhere in existence would feed him fractionally.

Any utilization and understanding of Mana across reality's infinite expanse would contribute to his advancement.

Currently only 10% collection rate, certainly...but that percentage would grow as his Primordial Civilization matured.

And it translated to his framework beginning to gain identical boons and standing as those possessed by THE Creature, THE Living Paradox, THE Dead Order, and all other entities with mature Primordial Civilizations!

The realization also emphasized sobering and horrific truth: across countless eons spanning billions upon billions of years, THE Creature, THE Living Paradox, and all others with established Primordial Civilizations had been collecting these boons every single day without interruption.

Just how incomprehensibly immense are they, truly?

Feeling this scope and grasping the genuine magnitude of disparity, Noah's existence buzzed with mixture of exhilaration and appropriate humility.

Even he...with all his accumulated advantages, with Perpetual Harvest amplifying everything, with systematic optimization of every process...could not help but feel profound sense of immense weight hanging far above him.

The weight of unfathomably developed Primordial Civilizations that possessed countless eons of accumulated advancement while he... had only just begun.

The mountain he needed to climb had become visible in its entirety for the first time, and its peak disappeared into heights that defied measurement.

But Noah smiled despite, or perhaps because of that daunting recognition.

I have climbed impossible heights before. This merely represents the next ascension.

And unlike them, I possess Perpetual Harvest amplifying every gain. I understand their advantages... and can compensate accordingly!

WAA!

They had eons. I have efficiency. I have Quintessence. I have Tyranny. I have...Mana!

HUUM!

We shall see... which proves more decisive!
