Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN) -
Chapter 4561: There’s Bad, Then There’s BAD II
It was dangerous, but that region was an environmental hazard rather than a conscious entity. And Noah would rather take his chances with an environment that could kill him than face an entity that definitely would kill him.
The region appeared before him with horrifying clarity. It looked like fundamentally distorted space and existence that was actively twisting and systematically mutilating any Civilizational Authority that came near its influence.
There were a few narrow channels visible here and there that appeared as obsidian rivers cutting through the chaos. These pathways held a semblance of stability and safety.
But if one’s trajectory veered off by even an atom’s worth of distance to one side or another from these safe channels, they would immediately enter the mutilated and distorted regions of existence surrounding the paths.
These distorted zones would unravel a Pre-THE entity instantly upon contact. Or they would severely injure THE Way of Existence of even a THE entity if exposed for any duration.
Behind Noah came the furious and genuinely shocked roar of the previously laid-back THE Maelstrom Thundermane as Astrape realized immediately what Noah was planning to attempt.
"You absolute dumbfuck!" his voice boomed with mixture of anger and concern. "You may actually have some chance of surviving against me if I capture you carefully! But you will most definitely die horribly over there! Get back here immediately!"
...!
His voice created sonic booms that shook reality. The surroundings began to feel like a massive quagmire that was drawing everything backwards through spatial manipulation.
But THE Barrier of Hunger around Noah’s existence withstood this terrifying attractive power, though its luminescence dimmed noticeably from the strain. Noah’s forward speed remained unaffected as he shot directly toward one of the narrow obsidian river passageways.
He entered the region of utterly distorted and lethally dangerous weavings of existence without hesitation.
New prompts bloomed before his vision with critical information.
|THE Barrier of Hunger Status: 30% power remaining|
|Recommendation: Extreme caution advised|
|LOCATION UPDATED|
|You have entered: THE Unstable Infinite Unfurling Ginnungagap|
|Classification: Infinite Ginnungagap Zone - Existence Unraveling Region|
|Survival Probability for Pre-THE: 0.001%|
|Survival Probability for THE Surface Depth: 23% with extreme caution|
|This region predates stable existence|
HUUM!
Then one final foreboding prompt materialized with weighted implication.
|Based on current threat level and barrier depletion rate...|
|It may be optimal to terminate this Temporal Traversal early and return to original timeline.|
|Continuing forward risks permanent existence collapse.|
Noah’s expression remained grimly determined as he navigated the impossibly narrow obsidian pathway.
Retreat was not an option he would accept.
Not when he had come this far!

Across the endless weavings of the Infinite Unfurling, through dimensions that folded upon themselves in impossible geometries, Tor followed calmly behind THE Living Origin as they crossed existence at unfathomable speeds.
And yet despite the velocity that would shred lesser beings into fundamental particles, it appeared as though he was merely taking a casual stroll with a few light steps through a pleasant garden.
He was carefully observing the woman in front of him with analytical focus, and his nose scrunched with recognition of a familiar scent.
"I can smell the brutal and overpowering allure of THE Creature clinging to you," he said with measured curiosity. "Are you among those entities that follow him as subordinates? Because I know from that any others who come across THE Creature tend to disappear mysteriously, as if he is systematically collecting them as valuable trophies."
He paused before continuing with pointed question.
"For you to be running around freely with such concentrated traces of his authority, are you perhaps his compatriot rather than his follower?"
THE First Hunger asked such a direct question with genuine interest coloring his tone.
In front of him, the gaze of THE Living Origin did not even flicker or change in response.
She continued forward as if she heard absolutely nothing at all, her focus entirely on their destination. Their trajectories through existence’s weavings were getting ever closer to the location where a certain temporal anomaly should theoretically be located.
Tor shook his head at the deliberate silence as moments later, they arrived at the boundary of the Unstable Genesis Domains.
THE Living Origin paused momentarily upon arrival and looked around the chaotic environment with searching perception. But Tor simply sniffed the air with his more direct method of tracking, and his expression immediately transformed into a frown.
He took a single step and disappeared from visible perception entirely.
Moments later, Tor’s figure reappeared near the region where Noah and THE Maelstrom Thundermane had been engaged just recently.
He materialized directly before the entry point of THE Unstable Infinite Unfurling Ginnungagap.
THE Living Origin appeared right after through her own method of instantaneous travel. Both their expressions became extremely heavy as they recognized what had occurred.
Tor sighed with frustration mixed with genuine concern as he looked at THE Living Origin. He raised his hand as if he wanted to physically smack her for the situation she had created.
But he controlled the impulse with visible effort and spoke with a tense explanation instead.
"Entry at one specific point of Ginnungagap sends you across countless random distances into its depths," he said with voice carrying weight. "It is virtually impossible to find someone inside it unless you enter within the exact same instant together through synchronized timing."
THE Living Origin’s expression became immensely serious. She nodded with acknowledgment and added her own knowledge.
"Yet even attempting to find anything in THE Ginnungagap is almost impossible under normal circumstances," she said with measured assessment. "And THE Malformed Ginnu Lifeforms that inhabit it are extraordinarily dangerous to deal with."
They both knew of Ginnungagap’s terrible reputation. They understood that their efforts to locate Noah would likely yield no practical results.
And yet despite this logical assessment...
In the next moment, Tor looked toward the obsidian river-like channels that served as semi-stable pathways into the chaos. He took a decisive step forward and disappeared into the distorted space.
In that same exact instant, THE Living Origin stared silently at the passageway before she also took a step and disappeared into the same obsidian river entrance.
Both risking themselves to attempt the impossible!
