The Primordial Record

chapter-253
That detail was important to Rowan and finalized his decision. He realized the ways his enemies stayed ahead of him was by subterfuge and deception, if he does not know the true scale of their powers he would not be able to give a suitable response.
The same goes for his enemies as well, the less information they knew about him, the more pieces he would have to play with.
It was all the same to him in the end though, he would have to kill Erohim. Details about his second bloodline, his Angels, his rapid upgrades and his powers could have been laid bare before this fallen god, and even the ranting of Erohim may be part of a deeper disguise, and Rowan would never easily believe the words of beings that were thousands of years old, being duplicitous was something easily learnt at that age.
Even if the god did not understand what he had witnessed and mistook Rowan for someone or something else, it did not matter, with the wisdom and age of the gods, in due time, he would be able to piece together the pieces of evidence on hand, and understand the scope of Rowans ability.
So he set up his plans to kill a god!Rowan had several problems to solve in order to even fathom killing a god, as this was a far monumental achievement than he had ever attempted before. He had unique tools and information that should make it possible, he just needed to make them work in a manner he needed.
Off course, Erohim was placed in a very unique situation where his Divine Kingdom was merged with the planet, and therefore it made him very vulnerable to Rowan's Ouroboros Serpent poison. It would be difficult for him to find another god that bears this unique weakness of Erohim.
They could easily kill the world consciousness and in that way they could kill Erohim, but that was the brute force route that he would take as the last option because doing that would yield him benefit, but he was also going to lose numerous tangible resources that could only be gotten from a god.
As he had the assurance of being able to kill Erohim if all the chips were laid down at the table, he began his plan to acquire as much as he could from the planet that would ensure his quick rise to power, he was not greedy, but totally pragmatic, he was in intense danger that was bearing down on him and this risk was acceptable.
The benefit he would gain was also more acceptable, for even if his Ouroboros Bloodline's Absolute body was stuck at the Rift State without seeding thirty-three planets, it did not mean he could not continue upgrading his second bloodline.
It was a dilemma he faced which was for him to upgrade his second bloodline, his first must be powerful enough to contain it. But he was now stuck at the Rift State unless he seeded multiple planets, yet there was a solution to this problem.
It all depended on his Absolute Body. It was a ridiculous physique that not only grew stronger as he seeded planets, but he also learnt he could get stronger by not just consuming energy rich items, but also Territories.What he learned and confirmed from killing Dorian was that consuming a Territory also lead to growth in his Absolute Body, so if a Territory of a peak second circle Dominator could show tangible results, how much more would a Divine Kingdom of a god give him?
Rowan needed to grow quickly, and in ways that would surprise his enemies. If his Ouroboros Bloodline could serve as his front and be at the Rift State, nothing was against him bringing his second bloodline higher with this ability of his Absolute Body.
That was his ultimate plan when he came back a few hours from the future, not just his revenge against Dorian, but to kill the fallen god, and luckily, he waited and baited him out.
After his first battle with Scarvros where he consumed the energy of Territories for the first time, he knew he must have more of it. This new source of energy was tantalizing to Rowan, and he did not know if it was only unique to gods and Dominators, even still he wanted it.
The problems however to acquiring and devour Territories were twofold: one, if a Territory or Divine Kingdom was not opened by its owner, it was impossible to gain access to it, and the second was that even if a Territory was beside you, it was impossible to locate it except it was opened.
He had to solve these two problems to gain access to Erohim Divine Kingdom, he used Dorian as an experiment, his Serpent easily broke into his Territory through the open doorway, and he found out that he only needed something of his own flesh to reside inside the Territory to serve as a beacon for the Serpent to follow.
Erohim had swallowed Rowan inside his Domain, plus he had been quietly gathering the remains of the golden beast inside his Divine Kingdom, he was even giving that Dragon in the third Continent–Krakow, parts of his essence while unknown to the beast, he was luring it deeper into his Domain where he would crush it at the first opportunity.
Erohim had solved the first problem for him with his actions.
The second problem was about finding the Divine kingdom, and doing it in a subtle manner that would not alert Erohim to his intentions, and he knew If the Divine Kingdom was not opened it would be impossible to find it.
Luckily, this part was also a bit easy for him to scale through because his lost weapon Envy was inside the Divine kingdom of Erohim, he did not know when the god placed it inside his Divine Kingdom but when he saw the snippets of memories of the god, he found his weapon inside of it. With that knowledge, he just had to find the weapon, and it would lead him to the open gates of the Divine Kingdom, and he had the perfect tool for that.
