Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-162

Noah's body didn't feel too strange, but the moment he put pressure on his legs, his figure shot up through the water like a blasted missile.

BOOM

He found himself knocking into the ceiling of the current floor, his body still seeming foreign to him. He looked at his body while trying to adjust to his strength. He gave a simple command for his body to move in the water, and he once again shot out at high speed towards the direction he was thinking of.

BOOM

The golden sheen never left his body and felt as if he had particles of gold light moving above his skin. It was very interesting to observe as he tried to test his new limits. He had tried and failed twice at controlling his body, and as he tried moving once more,the mechanical voice he had been hearing rang out again.

[Congratulations, Noah Osmont for obtaining the Golden Sea Body. It is something that very few will have the chance to obtain in Atlantis.]

A golden light shone down as the mechanical voice finished and disappeared, something else beginning to form in the center of the room. Noah stopped trying to adjust to his body for now as the golden light at the center of the floor formed into the shape of a Merman that he had only seen in the memories.

The merman had a powerful presence as he fully appeared in a transparent form at the center of the 100th floor of the Aqua Tower. The figure that seemed to be a hologram looked towards Noah, a slight smile appearing on its face.

"I see we have gained yet another strong fighter for the City of Atlantis."

Noah looked at the appearance of this hologram as the memories in his head and the many statues he had seen of this Merman matched in his mind and he voiced out.

"King Neptune."

His body bent slightly as he recalled the culture of Atlantis and paid his respects to the late King.

"Ah, none of that. I am but a relic of the past, long gone. This form that you see, this is the strand of consciousness that I left before I set out on my journey. It continued to be preserved by the Aqua Tower over the years."

The translucent form of King Neptune looked over at Noah and seemed to be scanning him up and down.

"You are an Atlantean through and through, and now you have gained the Golden Sea Body from the most concentrated form of the Golden Serum. Your body should be even stronger than the Golden Battle Suits, with the commanders at that level having to put in quite some work just to injure you. The serum was one of my most innovative products."

He looked forlorn as he continued talking.

"This was a product that I was able to work on with my many colleagues. I could produce stronger fighters from those who were already capable, but there was a very limited amount of this Golden Serum of this concentration. You were actually lucky enough to be infused with the last one."

Noah listened with rapt attention at the ramblings of the old king as he waited for the other reward he had been looking forward to on this trip to Atlantis. The normal proceedings would be to receive the reward from the high ranking individuals from Atlantis after passing the 71st floor and becoming a Seeker, allowing you to learn the information about the Trident of Neptune that every powerhouse in the Lost World was currently looking for.

But his clearing all the way until the 100th floor was monumental and had triggered the appearance of the strand of consciousness of King Neptune. This meant he would be receiving the highest level of information from the source itself.

"Ah, those are times of the past though, and we should be looking into the future. The future...does indeed look grim."

The blue form of King Neptune became grim as light exploded outwards, forming into blurry figures of three people. Two were completely unfamiliar to Noah, but their clothing resembled those of the cultivators he had come across before. One of them was an image that once gave him cold shivers when he viewed memories of it, it was the one that stood at the peak of the Demon World, the Oppressive Tyrant, Baal.

"Let me tell you about my death, and how those like you can move quickly enough to reclaim my most prized creation, The Trident of the Sea."

The Trident of the Sea. Also commonly known as the Supreme Treasure, the Trident of Neptune. Noah's body settled down as he listened closely to the information coming out from the legendary King Neptune himself.

"Before Atlantis began the game of cat and mouse, we were prospering and on our way to inventing things that would normally remain only farfetched dreams and hopes. We had created a powerful weapon that could command the sea, and had a breakthrough in genetic engineering to learn how to improve the strength of our bodies."

The voice of Neptune thundered throughout the last floor of the Aqua Tower, as information only those at the highest echelons of Atlantis were privy to was being given without hesitation to the recently advanced Seeker.

"But things never go that smoothly. The era of innovation was halted with the invasion from two worlds, those from the World of Cultivation and the Demon World setting their sights on the many treasures of Atlantis."

"We were truly strong though, and defended against the advances of both forces, later on even managing to kick them out as I undertook the project that was my highest achievement, the creation of a World Engine."

BOOM!

It felt like thunder had echoed in Noah's brain as a brand new piece of information he had not come across before appeared now. He put forth the various information he held together as a piece of the puzzle connected.

The Lost World of Atlantis had gained the title of "Lost" over the years because the geniuses of Atlantis had created something that allowed them to move their world and mask its location from those that sought them harm. The location would be found out in time as their enemies had many means, with the example of the unique skill that Orias used to have that allowed her to simply locate the coordinates of the world by teleporting into it for the demon's side, while the cultivators had their own mysterious means to discover the world again.

Noah only knew this, and never knew just what treasure the City of Atlantis had created to be able to do something like this. Now, he was hearing about it for the first time, and from the being that spearheaded the project too. Something called a World Engine. What exactly was this innovation, and how could he take it for himself?
