The Primordial Record
chapter-551

A god screamed in pain as he was brutally sliced into two.

Rowan had slammed Envy into his stomach, and twisted the Axe around, effectively destroying the guts of the wailing god, but he angled his weapon so Envy's blade would point upward, and with a small grunt of effort, he applied force so that the Axe had traveled upward, splitting the god from his stomach, through his chest, neck, and finally his head.

The cut was clean, but the Vibrational energy left behind blasted the body of the god to mush. Rowan dodged another flurry of attacks, but he stumbled when suddenly he was enveloped by great pain that attacked every single inch of nerve ending in his body.

He rapidly pushed this pain to another consciousness pillar to bear the load, but his momentum was lost…

A blazing blue blade burst out of his chest, the heat was so terrible it began to vaporize a massive hole in Rowan's torso, he hurriedly cut through the flaming blade with his Axe and shifted forward, if he had been delayed for just a moment, the top half of his body would have been vaporized.

Another large spike of pain filled his consciousness, but Rowan quickly shifted it to another consciousness pillar, it was enough to delay him for a fraction of a moment, and multiple godly techniques slammed into his body.

Acid, Flames, Frost, Poison, Lightning, Darkness, Focused Electromagnetism Bolts, Curses, Pain, Afflictions, all sorts of Techniques focused on his body, each of these techniques had enough power to destroy tens of Minor World in a single stroke, and Rowan could barely scream in pain and shock before he was reduced to just a golden skull.

The only reason this part of his body remained was that he had shielded his head with Envy, and even with this, his physical body had barely survived this attack.

With a burst of golden flames, he returned to his previous form, but once again he was buried under the combined assault from the gods, he shifted his battered skull to the side using Astolabe, but although the gods could not compete with him in speed, they could anticipate his direction, for even with Astrolabe, he could only move in a straight line.

He still moved too fast though, and quickly healed up, about to continue his battle once more, he found himself ensnared in a web of darkness that he had failed to anticipate, his pair of furious eyes looked in the distance where Tenma stood grinning, and Rowan's cries of fury were buried under a wave of power from the rest of the gods that nearly reduced him to dust.

"Don't give him a moment's respite, continue the bombardment," Shario screamed, "Activate both Formations at full power, press him into nothingness, for this is our will!"

Rowan began to struggle with the powers arrayed against him, the Formations were a great hindrance as the only way for him to escape their reach would be to use Astrolabe, and doing so placed him on a path that could be anticipated and countered.

Still, he was battling dozens of gods at the same time and holding his own!

Tenma was a problem, he did not use large and flashy moves against Rowan, but he was always there to place a stumbling block on his every advancement, the reason for Rowan's struggle was this cunning god whose sense of timing nearly made Rowan scream in frustration.

A sudden massive wave of power slammed into him from out of nowhere and Rowan's body was crushed to pieces, Envy was blasted away from his destroyed body by a large beam of darkness with enough force that the weapon was blasted millions of miles into the planet, nearly reaching its core.

The World Will of the Major World enclosed the entire planet around the weapon, silencing its shrieks of rage, and pressing it deeper into itself.

Tenma consolidated this process when he used the Myriad Grave Light Formation to suppress the struggling weapon, pushing more than ninety-nine percent of this Formation's power for that task.

He tried and failed to keep the elation inside his heart from bursting forth, and Tenma could barely stop himself from leaving this battle, collecting the weapon and disappearing into the darkness for the next million years while he digested his prize.

Yet he focused his thoughts, destroying the fleshy body of this monster was necessary, and if they could do so, he would be forced to regenerate back in his plane.

Tenma no longer considered the Rowan Kuranes he saw in the bounty notice and this person to be the same, most probably this was a Demon Prince who wore the guise of a Child of Trion to commit mischief. Nevertheless banishing its mortal form was a victory.

No longer holding back much of his strength, Tenma began delivering focused blasts of darkness and sound waves, crushing this being, as the other gods followed his lead, the Myriad Nunceple Light Armament Formation, giving them all the Aether from the entire world at their disposal.

If destruction was ever to be a place, then the situation where Rowan found himself would qualify for that position.

Even the gods retreated for a few hundred miles to escape the full brunt of the devastation, but they did not let off on pouring all their powers and the techniques they had learned over the endless years into an area not larger than a few thousand feet, creating a zone of pure chaos.

The strange light shining from that area was causing some of the least powerful Minor gods to squint, as they felt a searing pain in their soul from looking at that region.

Reality had long been destroyed in this area, and the Underverse beneath was being stretched to such an alarming degree, that it was possible to see faint lights beyond the darkness if you concentrated enough.

Although Rowan and the gods were not aware, those lights were eyes! From whom was unknown, and perhaps, it was a good thing that they were not aware of the prying eyes surrounding the universe.

Rowan was in a unique state as he was barely on the threshold between total annihilation and restoration, although he was being bombarded by a lot of power, he was constantly circling Eruption through his consciousness pillars, making sure he was channeling all those powers to his vitality, and so although he was reduced to a single cell, the amount of vitality he possessed inside that single cell almost made it indestructible.

Almost…
