Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 - Serenity

Noah looked around the peak he was on as many thoughts passed through his mind, realizing he did not really get any solid answers, but knowing that there was an unknown being somewhere who could be considered to be on his side.

None of the memories he held were of any help as he gazed at the peaceful vegetation and trees surrounding him, his thoughts wandering from his next goals, and what he wanted for himself.

He thought of the beings around him, those that depended on him, and those that he stood above. He thought of the two women he still did not fully open up himself to, as well as the woman taking care of a small Star City he had nearly forgotten about.

He could be considered strong and powerful to an extreme degree when others looked at him, but there was always a place where one would be weak at.

After the loss of his parents, he did not open himself up to anyone fully, not wanting there to even be a possibility of feeling the same pain he felt back then. Without his conscious knowledge, he had gotten extremely close to some of the women around him, that when he witnessed one of them ripped apart right in front of him, he was reminded of a pain he never thought he would feel again.

Even when he reversed everything and events returned to a better past, he still held those memories, and they weighed heavily on his mind. This was why he was not against it when Barbatos said she wanted to remain in the Spiritual Land and do her training there. This was why he continued to let the Ice Queen manage the Frozen Kingdom as a Ruler, and not someone he wanted to fight on the front lines.

Gradually, he was realizing that he was slowly opening himself up again to these people around him. This provided a conduit that could cause him great pain, something he had experienced before and never wanted to come across again. He gazed at the serene trees on the mountaintop he stood on as he continued to be lost in his thoughts.

Was it truly worth to open himself up to others like this? To open up the possibility to feel a tremendous amount of pain again?

Many thoughts appeared and disappeared in his mind as he was not able to find an answer. He stared at the leaves of trees swaying peacefully on the mountain he stood on as he closed his eyes and felt the abundant essence that could be felt everywhere in the World of Cultivation.

He felt the bubbling power in his body that was constantly boosted by Ultimate Skills from the Seven Deadly Sins, by Transcendent and Saint Ranked skills, as well as the naturally powerful Golden Sea Body he gained from the Lost World.

With his eyes closed, he began absorbing the many Saint ranked cores obtained from the Devilish Time Unveiler and the Magus, Black Serpent. He held Saint ranked abilities because of Skill Combination, and he could use them all without any problems because of the large mana pools he had access to. But his actual attributes were not in the Saint Rank. Barring the [Focus] attribute, his [Vitality] and [Strength] attributes were still capped at the peak of Transcendent Rank.

He absorbed the Saint Ranked [Core]s from his loot as his body gradually entered a serene state, and he fell asleep.
