Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapters 66 - 70

Chapter 66: Preparation

Silence.

Utter and complete silence.

I could feel the beating of my heart and the blood rushing through my body as I finished listening and said.

"When do we start?"

A horned being was reading complex data in an unknown location with a furious expression. Something unexplainable had occurred on the same planet that had shown abnormalities some time back.

The signals placed on the pathetic beasts that held a level of power had all but disappeared.

This gesticulated a message of failure. They wouldn't be able to start any operations on this planet for the time being. Having diverted many pieces into this one planet so frequently caused them to be restricted towards it. They could not forcefully send more pieces for at least a few months as these restrictions loosened.

The being's anger quickly reduced as he changed his mindset. His role was only to pioneer and establish connections to otherworld's in preparation for takeovers in the future. Many of his peers still had their focus on finishing the conquest of the major world they were in now.

The only pockets of resistance remaining were the kingdoms where lineages of mythical beasts were ruling, as well as the Frozen Kingdom where the last of the human race on this planet was thriving.

A devilish smile appeared on the horned being's face as he thought about his contribution that led to the downfall of the most powerful kingdom in this world and allowed for them to take root fully.

The remaining places would all fall in due time, no matter how long it took. He could already see it happening in front of his eyes. For he is the personification of lies and evil, the Prince of Darkness. Ranked 68, he was commonly known as Demon King Belial...

Places all over the world were becoming stabilized as hunters performed their roles and quelled the onslaught of beasts.

Cities in the Blessed Empire and the various countries of the United Federation were discussing the regulation of dungeons across the world.

New knowledge was coming out everyday that ascertained how frequently dungeons had to be cleared in a day in order to completely destroy them.

The number of times differed depending on the ranks, with lower level dungeons requiring to be cleared many more times until their monoliths were destroyed.

The conclusion wasn't fully ascertained by the hunters, but the actual cause was that lower ranked dungeons required less supply of essence to be kept active, and thus could more easily be replenished as they were cleared. High ranking dungeons required significantly more essence in order to replenish the origins of the beasts inside it, thus required a less number of times to be cleared before the outflowing of essence surpassed the inflow and cause the destruction of the dungeon.

The discussion taking place was which number of dungeons should safely be left for hunters to regularly clear and become stronger, while putting the effort in clusters where many dungeons appeared and it would be better to destroy them before a dungeon break occurred.

The discussion and regulation of this was ongoing, with the different countries and cities deciding for themselves what was best.

I had spent a significant amount of time talking to the System in that blank room and learned many more things.

I was currently flying back to the Star City of the Blessed Empire to receive awards and recognition. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that important to me right now as my mind was fully filled with dangerous information and I was only thinking about the expansive world I would be descending in soon enough.
