Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 3416  Purgatory or Paradise? IV

Far from the Megalos Ynnere.

Far from any common weavings of existence.

In the place Noah found himself in termed the Purgatory Lands. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hell Terra Firma!

He stopped a distance away amongst tall, dead, and decaying trees as he looked down in the distance where a small Settlement could be seen.

Everything about it seemed extremely rudimentary, with walls made out of stone and trunks of gray trees protecting a periphery of about 5 or so miles. Equivalent to a truly small town.

This was a major settlement in this area as within it, a few thousand humanoid entities reigned!

And at the forefront was the Warlord Maxus.

Inside the small Settlement, an area for the cultivation of vegetation was tightly guarded, as well as a farm area holding animals such as cows, chickens, and unique variations of what could be considered mythical beasts outside of here…but were smaller in size as they did not hold much power.

So they were being raised and bred for consumption over the years.

This…was a Settlement.

A place with food and shelter, and something that Noah needed if he was going to survive and not die of hunger in the next few days and weeks and months to come…if he really was going to be stuck here for that long!

At this time, he stayed back with the Infiniverse Megalos Body as he spoke to Ruination.

"Have a talk with the Warlord Maxus. Let him know to either abdicate and work under me, or he will be deposed."

Around the Settlement, those standing guard had simple weapons similar to the thugs from before, with the addition of bows and arrows on some along with spears!

Even though authority was entirely rejected in this place, there was still ingenuity and knowledge from many races.

He didn't doubt that, over time, in those larger settlements, much more powerful weapons and defense systems could be developed!

After all, his blue planet didn't have any Mana, and they eventually even developed Nuclear weapons.

But here, would the processes of even nuclear fission and fusion be rejected as advanced weaponry could never be made?

Would more advanced weapons like guns or bombs already be developed in the larger Settlements, or were even these considered a form of rejected authority?

Noah didn't know for sure as, at this moment, Ruination had already begun to move!

"I will be back soon, Master."

Her eyes held a ferocious glint.

Her body was different from normal humans as she was made entirely of unique metalloids, with her strength and resiliency being many times that of a human as she held tremendous advantage here!

She began to freely walk into the small Settlement as for the first time in a while, winds would begin to blow.

—

Inside a small Settlement. Many didn't even bother to give it a name as there was a sense of despondency in these barren lands of Purgatory, with all those here only clustering for survival to ensure they didn't die out in the gray lands out of nowhere.

At the peak of this Settlement was the man who had gathered a number of people and gradually established order- someone who had lived for many cycles and had reached a tremendous level of power before!

But now…

"Ah…." He lay on a makeshift bed made of feathers inside a small darkly lit room, letting out a sigh of satisfaction as a barely clothed older woman sat at the edge of the bed with blank eyes.

No matter what power he held before, he was reduced to a normal human here as aside from survival, the only things his body sought and enjoyed were the basal tendencies of his body.

Food, and reproduction!

This was all he was reduced to.

"The guards outside will get you a few bundles of grain for your services, okay?" He spoke lazily towards the woman as this time, he didn't hear a reply.

His eyes became sour as he was about to berate when he noticed the older woman clutching her clothes in shock, her eyes turned towards the entrance where the figure of a dazzlingly gorgeous young woman with crimson gold hair appeared!

Her hands and face were stained with blood as she looked coldly towards Warlord Maxus.

Staring at her, Maxus instantly became infatuated and then terrified at the sight of beauty and blood as when he looked out the door, he saw his guards groaning and holding on to broken limbs!

And her cold voice filled with distaste echoed out.

"My Master asks where you wish to abdicate your authority here or perish. What will it be?"

WAA!

Her Master.

Her Master?!

The many cycles of experience that Warlord Maxus had buzzed and kicked into his head as seeing how this young woman had gotten past his guards and who knew how many others alone…

"Abdicate! I will abdicate and present him with all I have…"

His mind worked rapidly as he spoke as such, while his eyes held a hidden chilling light!

He would lower himself and learn more about this woman and where her power came from, and who this Master of hers was.

And then in time…there were many things he could do.

Ambushed during sleep.

Poisoning the reverses of water and food.

Warlord Maxus lowered his head rapidly as many other thoughts flashed, a unique future painted as he was curious to see how it would unfold!

Yet…

"Your hidden malice is not so hidden in my eyes."

The cold voice of Ruination echoed out as Warlord Maxus raised his head in shock, only to see the right hand of this gorgeous woman swinging sideways across his neck.

SAA!

A clean cut.

As if her hands were sharp swords.

His vision then seemed to shift, and then endless darkness came down!

Ruination looked at the state of this room and the terrified woman on the bed as she grabbed the head of the Warlord and stepped out.

Out of the slightly bigger house of the Warlord than all those here, there was a trail of blood. Groans of pain were apparent for any of those who chose to stand in her way!

All around, a few hundred men and women within this Settlement watched from the sidelines as she walked out towards the entrance while holding the head of the Warlord, a sense of ease and fear spreading as she came to stop at the broken gates of the entrance!

There, she waited silently.

SIU!

An arrow shot out from the roof of a house towards the left, and Ruination didn't even turn around as she caught this arrow with her bare hands and flung it back towards the same direction with even greater speed and force!

BOOM!

The roof of the house was blown off along with an eruption of blood as immense silence reigned in after that.

Within minutes, a woman holding a massive circular structure in her left hand and a white ring on another appeared alongside a devilishly handsome man with a cold gaze, their figures arriving before the broken gates of the Settlement as the woman that held the head of Warlord Maxus bowed towards him!

He nodded while patting her head as if to praise her, and he proceeded to walk into the Settlement with her under the shaken and terrified gazes of many!
