Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 3740

Marks of the Folds!

The rewards obtained for being able to succeed in the trials of this unique location, this Null Cradle of Fold-Breaking Ascension.

Its formation and sheer existence were surrounded by unfathomable complexity, as it stopped the outward expression of all True Sources regardless of Complexity and inserted their own Rules of Existence that were followed undeniably.

Even a Primarch would not be able to deny the weavings of existence here, weavings that even caused the Null Form to rise from someone as the only thing capable of doing anything.

No harm could be done to others through it.

Only the Calcified Wheels of Existence and Pillars of Concordance, which represented the heavy items to lift into their correct slots, were the things that the Null Form could express its weavings on.

As Noah came to understand this, one last burst of information came into his weavings and transformed into a prompt.

|Those who persist through this Outer Wheel of the Null Cradle unlock ascension to the Middle Wheel Platform, where even heavier burdens and rarer Marks await.|

A prompt to say that even grander waves of possibilities and complexities lay further above.

Noah nodded at it calmly as he looked at his 3-inch Null Form and began to walk forward, wanting to test out the weight of the Calcified Wheels and Pillars.

And on this obsidian horizontal Wheel, the area nearest to him had three entities—two Harmonized Sourcebound Icons and a Nascent Source-Bearer Complexity Entity—sitting around a floating obsidian Wheel.

The Wheel floated at everyone's eyeline, and there was a slot for the Wheel to be placed in down below. One had to drag it from its floating position and into that slot in order to gain a Mark of the Folds.

These three beings had been trying to do it for an indeterminate amount of time. Right now, one of them arose while stretching. It was a Living Thing, a man with a dark mustache and hair in violet robes.

A 40-inch Null Form surrounded him as he raised his hands to grasp onto the Calcified Wheel, and it was his Null Form that was able to clasp onto it. The Calcified Wheel buzzed with a terrifying pressure and weight as this entity tried to pull it down.

A Harmonized Sourcebound Icon, trying to simply pull something down, yet it was like an unfathomable weight and gravity forced it to stay right there. Even after groaning and seemingly expending a great deal of effort, the Calcified Wheel only moved down halfway.

From there, the Living Thing shook his head and let go, and the Calcified Wheel returned to its floating position. He went to sit on the nearby obsidian earth once more, as if he were recovering and trying to align to his Purity and Complexity even more.

At such a time,

Noah approached.

The three entities raised their eyes at him and glanced at his Null Form again before they shook their heads.

As Noah approached, he saw an obsidian light bloom around the floating Calcified Wheel that formed into weavings of information anyone could understand.

|Minor Calcified Paradoxical Wheel – 1 Nulltonian Unit of Existence. 1 Mark of the Folds.|

…!

Simple.

Easy to understand.

One simply had to take the alignment of their True Source that represented their Null Form, and as long as they were complex enough while having a stupendous alignment, they could pull the weight of this Wheel down and slot it into the ground to obtain a Mark of the Folds.

A Living Thing and two Dead Things sat here. Apart from the man in violet robes and dark mustache, the two Dead Things held obsidian skeletal bodies surrounded by Null Forms approximately 40 inches large for each of them.

The man in the violet robes looked at Noah and smiled as he spoke.

"Brother, what True Source did you tack onto yourself to have such little alignment that your Null Form is this small?"

…!

The man asked calmly, as conflict was not an issue here. Nobody was able to attack each other.

The Dead and the Living could speak freely.

Noah looked at this Living as his Lineage pulsed silently, information appearing above him.

NAME: Caelnor of the Destifolds

TITLE: Harmonized Sourcebound Icon

TRUE SOURCE: Chaos

CQ: 5,666 (9,666) | PQ: 5,666 (9,666)

STATUS: Marked

THREAT RATING: Variable – Low

A Living Thing, but his Quotients were unique, as he had obtained Marks of the Folds before and gained a compression of his Complexity and Purity. His power as a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon at 5,666 PQ and CQ was actually more powerful than any other Harmonized Sourcebound Icon, as it almost spilled into the level of a Resplendent Monad.

But the compression of his Complexity and Purity by the Mark of the Folds allowed him to express a terrifying level of power, as he could remain a Harmonized Sourcebound Icon and undergo more rounds of compression to be capable of even standing against a Resplendent Monad.

That was how terrifying this Null Cradle of Fold-Breaking Ascension and its Marks of the Folds were.

Caelnor of the Destifolds and the two Dead Things here clustered around this Calcified Wheel that could grant 1 Mark of the Folds, while there were groups of beings, both Living and Dead, sitting, standing, or moving around different Wheels and Pillars that granted different Marks of the Folds depending on their Nulltonian Unit of Existence.

Noah looked at Caelnor, who was smiling with light laughter while looking at his small 3-inch Null Form that looked like a layer of blue gold skin around him as he asked,

"Why? Is my Null Form not enough to pull something with a single Nulltonian Unit of Existence?"

…!

His question was simple, but Caelnor and the two Dead Things looked at each other before the three broke into laughter.

"Haha, Brother, your Null Form is scrawny. Smaller than anything else I have seen before in this blessed Null Cradle of Fold-Breaking Ascension that we have been boundlessly lucky to find. Countless Primarchs try to locate this place that paradoxically exists across the Folds, as nobody can seek it, they can only be lucky enough to arrive. You were lucky, but… man. You are so tiny that you will not benefit from one of the most mysterious wonders of the Folds…"
