Chapter 4676: To Mana! To Light!

In this very same era.

This was not in the past, nor was this in the future, but it was in the very same present Weavings of time that Noah currently moved around in.

But it was inside an extremely distant place that nobody would truly be able to reach. It was a place that THE Living Paradox was trying to reach and would reach in the foreseeable future with the eruption of THE Loom.

It was THE Belly of Existence.

Inside THE Belly of Existence.

Now, this place alone was vast beyond measure as it contained a tremendous amount of Existence. It contained the vastness of the Infinite Unfurling and Ginnungagap combined, stretching out in dimensions that defied mortal comprehension.

To wrap one’s mind around that alone was an impossibility.

But inside this place, in a small corner of Existence, there was a vast floating island filled with endless white light.

The Way of Light gushed within this place with abundance as shockingly, one could see pure Mana mixed within it naturally. The light was accepting and learning that it was always part of Mana, just differentiated. Two forces that had seemed separate were now intertwining as if remembering an ancient truth they had forgotten.

Inside such a place, a massive temple of light rose from the radiant ground. Its architecture was both ancient and eternal, pillars of crystallized luminescence stretching toward a ceiling that seemed to be made of concentrated starlight. The air hummed with power!

At this moment, there was a single humanoid entity that stood above an arched gateway shining white and blue, her silhouette cutting an imposing figure against the radiance behind her.

Behind this gateway was a massive statue of an entity of imperious stature and allure. Oddly, it looked very close to Noah. His stone gaze was imposing as it felt like it was looking down on everything here, watching over this congregation with silent authority.

The woman standing on the arched gateway had white-blue fox ears that stood alert atop her head and a stellar radiant white-blue fox tail that swayed gently behind her with contained power. Her eyes shone in extremely pure blue as she looked at the group of THE entities before her.

Dozens of entities at THE Surface Depth and Intermediate Depth of Absolute Sovereignty looked up at her with serious gazes, their forms arranged in perfect formation like soldiers awaiting orders from their commander.

“What is your duty?” she called out, her voice ringing through the temple like a bell of pure crystal.

HUUM!

The reply came as one voice, simultaneous and thunderous.

“Our duty is Mana and Light!”

HUUM!

Their voices were radiant and resonant as shockingly, the Phonemes of The First Tongue permeated with their words. Each syllable carried weight that pressed against reality itself, and the air shimmered with the power of their declaration.

The fox-eared woman’s eyes blazed brighter as she continued.

“What is your purpose?”

“Our purpose is to serve the Master!” they bellowed in unison, the Phonemes forming visible patterns in the air around them.

The temple itself seemed to respond to their oath as light began to condense around the assembled THE entities, drawn by the power of their conviction.

The woman raised her hand, and Phonemes began to form into pure light and Mana around her palm. The glowing symbols spiraled outward, descending upon the assembled warriors like a blessing.

“What is your ultimate hope?”

“Our hope is to stand beside the Master!”

BOOM!

At these words, the Phonemes that had been forming in the air erupted with brilliant radiance. They began to wrap around the assembled entities like living things, coiling around their forms and solidifying into armaments of pure light and Mana.

Armor forged from crystallized Phonemes materialized across their bodies. Weapons of concentrated meaning appeared in their hands. Each piece burned with the blue-gold glow of Mana intertwined with the pure white of Light, creating a fusion that had never been seen before in Observable Existence.

Thirty-six THE entities now burned brilliantly with Mana and Light, their forms transformed into warriors ready for a war that spanned all of Existence.

The fox-eared woman looked upon them with fierce pride as her tail swayed with barely contained anticipation.

“I sense the light of the Master coming,” she declared, her voice carrying absolute certainty. “Mana shall soon erupt across Existence, and we shall be freed from this distant place. Our break from this prison approaches, and with it, the chains that bind us here shall shatter.”

She stepped forward on the arched gateway, her presence commanding absolute attention.

“At that time, we must do everything we can to locate the Master. To be with the Master. To protect the Master with every fiber of our beings. He who gave us purpose. He who showed us the truth of Mana. He who is the Scale Breaker!”

Her eyes blazed with devotion that burned hotter than stars.

“We have waited. We have grown. We have become strong. And now, as the end of Existence as it is known approaches, we shall emerge and stand beside him. Let no enemy touch him while we draw breath. Let no force harm him while we still exist. Let no being threaten what is his while we remain.”

She raised both hands, and the temple exploded with light.

“For the glory of Mana! For the glory of The First Tongue!”

“FOR THE GLORY OF THE FIRST TONGUE!” the thirty-six roared back, their combined voices creating a shockwave of pure authority!

The woman lowered her hands as she gazed upon her assembled forces with satisfaction.

This was Lumivara.

The entity who had been at Pre-THE when Noah left her behind in the Infinite Unfurling all that time ago. The one who had been entrusted with a fragment of his vision and his authority. The one who had taken that seed and cultivated it in the vast emptiness of THE Belly of Existence.

And as she stood there, her body radiated shocking power that pressed down on even the THE Surface Depth entities before her.

Because Lumivara had not remained stagnant in her Master’s absence.

She had grown.

She had evolved.

She had achieved what many deemed impossible.

Her existence burned at THE Fundamental Depth of Absolute Sovereignty.

The statue of Noah behind her seemed to smile as if it knew what was coming.

Whatever was coming would release her.

And she had thirty-six THE entities ready to follow her into whatever chaos awaited.

“Soon, Master,” Lumivara whispered as she gazed toward a direction that only she could perceive, her fox ears twitching with anticipation. “Soon, we shall be reunited…”

It was a glorious weaving of Existence to witness!

And counltess Gigaparsecs away from this position where Lumivara was.

In a region filled with countless obsidian river passageways.

A massive whale, a Perucetus at the power of THE Surface Depth, was currently being pulled by a fishing line as it thrashed to no avail, its massive body eventually coming to float out of a river passageways as it saw a fisherman…and a hairy humanoid entity sitting on a cliff!

Its body instantly froze with sheer fear and horror at the scene as seeing this, The Fisherman yawned with boredom while releasing the bindings of the whale, and this entity bowed its head many times over before it scrambled away.

Beside The Fisherman, the hairy entity looked up calmly at this moment as from him, a unique voice echoed out.

|Are you ready?|

…!

A mere three words.

But The Fisherman gripped his fishing rod tighter, his eyes flashing with a callous light as he replied.

|Ready as any of us can be. I just need know who needs to die first. That is all.|

HUUM!

The words were gloriously heavy as across existence, many beings got ready!

Some even believed they were ready.

And yet even those who believed they were ready did not realize that truly, this was only an illusion. Even the masterminds behind everything…would not be ready.
