Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 3812

Chapter 3812: Unbeatable I

A screeching Inevitability blazed in the skies.

Noah stood with his hands behind his back, eyes cold.

His mind had long since dissected the tale.

The Creature... had offered everything.

First, in the name of empathy. Then, in desperation.

Heart.

Lungs.

Almost its Beginning.

All to try and change the nature of something that could not be changed.

An Inevitability.

And when there was nothing left to give, it had offered its all to the Living Paradox to be saved.

Noah’s gaze didn’t waver as he stared at the Imitation Mutated Inevitability screeching high above, its mass growing, wings multiplying.

"To survive against inevitability," he murmured, "the Creature had to give itself to Living Paradox. To give everything."

That was the lesson.

A rule, carved in agony.

The creature had tried to break that law... and lost everything in return.

Just as the last echo of the Inevitability’s shriek faded, a green-gold flash swept across the treetop.

Master Shen descended.

Wings like blades of emerald light folded behind him as he landed beside them, expression stern.

He didn’t waste time.

"It looks like I’ll have to distribute the rest of my Resistance Archetype Points," he said, eyes locked on the towering threat before them. "To face that thing properly."

He turned slightly, his voice steady, directed at Sigrid now.

"A moment ago, when I struck it... I heard a ’no’. Was that due to your overabundance of caution and cate for me?"

There was no jest in his tone.

No warmth.

Just the weight of a question.

Sigrid didn’t hesitate.

"No," she said, voice quiet, firm. "It wasn’t about you."

"...I see."

She turned away from him, eyes on the Inevitability.

"That creature in front of us... is not one you defeat by simply overpowering."

She spoke slowly.

"Attack it, and it will devour your efforts. Grow stronger with each one. That is its nature."

Silence.

Master Shen took in her words.

Then said lowly, "Then how exactly do you fight something like that?"

At his side, Noah remained motionless, his voice calm.

"The answer lies in the story."

Sigrid nodded.

Her expression calm, but the light in her eyes pulsed brighter as she looked into the burning horizon, toward the thrumming mass of inevitability.

And then... she continues the story that held a clue on how to defeat an Inevitability!

"I’ll tell you the rest of the story of the Creature...once it gave everything.

The moment that the Creature was at its lowest and filled with desperation, he gave away his everything to the Living Paradox to be saved from the Inevitability.

And in that moment, the Living Paradox filled him- laughing, victorious, woven from whispers and riddles.

The Creature, hollowed and shivering, turned its thoughts toward the Inevitability that still devoured him. It looked up through the light bleeding from its cracked soul and said weakly,

"I have given you my all. Keep your end of the bargain and save me."

And the Living Paradox... tilted its head within him.

"Do you know," it asked, voice soft like falling ash, "how to end something that is insatiable? How to defeat what is inevitable?"

The Creature had no answer.

No strength.

Its body only continued to shine brighter and brighter with the light of paradox- its pain, its self, all twisted into something Else.

The Living Paradox chuckled with delight and replied:

"You give it everything."

...!

And the light erupted.

Crimson.

Gold.

Colorless.

Colorful.

Waves of paradox burst outward from the Creature’s frame, and the Inevitability- hungry, wild, insatiable- drank it all.

It howled in ecstasy as it took everything in.

It expanded.
