The Primordial Record
chapter-635

Rowan closed his left fist, blinding Caine, and proceeded to look around him.

Behind him his Angels began to appear, led by his two Sovereigns, Eva and Lost also appeared, with the former nodding at him in excitement, a wordless command from Rowan shifted all his Angels into Guardian Mode as Rowan needed only a few moments more to complete his Core.

He had already sacrificed so much for this opportunity to free himself, and the death of his children weighed heavily on him. Rowan cleansed his mind of distraction with a firm burst of will.

The anguish remained, but he had to make their passing worth it.

About to take the final step, a shrill howl emerged from the gem in his left hand, "How?...."

"Wouldn't you love to know," Rowan muttered inside his heart, stifling the intense hatred and loathing he felt for Caine, he was too close to be distracted, and he quickly accessed the Primordial Record.

Rowan was not the smartest, but given enough time he could make plans that would mostly succeed, if he could plan for a doppelganger to take his place during the forging of the Destroyer, then there was no reason for him not to make plans to have a second Forge!

With enough resources, he had to make sure he always had backups, this had become one of the fundamental aspects of Rowan's character.

He was not too aware of the sort of enemy that he might face during the forging of his weapon, but he knew the one thing that they would go for if they did not succeed would be to damage his Destroyer.

If the destruction of his Forge was one of the most likely outcomes then it meant, he needed a decoy or backup, and not just any random decoy, but one that would deceive anyone who sees it.

To create the first level of the Battle Fortress, mystical metals, and other precious materials could be used, yet Rowan went one step forward and used what was arguably one of the most precious materials in the universe to create the first level of his Destroyer, which was the Divine Kingdom of gods.

That amount of effort, just for the weakest level of his Battle Fortress would be considered by most to be a waste, as this was the sort of material that was expected to be used at the third or fourth level of the Battle Fortress, but Rowan was already using it for his first, yet all that was just a decoy, an attractive bait whose true purpose was to be a prison.

This was how far he was willing to go, and the fact that he could imprison a creature such as Caine, even if it was only a minor fragment of this being was a testament to the fact that his preparation had been stellar.

The true shell of his Destroyer would be this place—The Ruin of the Mountain and Sea Supreme World. The last of the treasure he had collected from the outer–universal creature.

This powerful treasure had opened his eyes to the possibilities of higher realms and expanded his vision, Rowan was glad for the brief journey he took and the benefits it gave him.

He would be taking a step further and utilizing a portion of a Supreme World to create the first level of his Destroyer. This action was so extravagant, that he doubted anyone would be able to anticipate it. He had forgone seeding this powerful ruin and used it for something that was arguably much better.

A thousand whispers escaped from the gem holding Caine,

"Your ambitions are admirable, and your plans are intricate, but you still suffer from the pride of youth, there is no way you can assimilate a world such as these around your fledgling Core… It is broken, you cannot bridge the gap required.

"You will need to be far stronger and have greater control….Listen to me, I was wrong about your potential and I can help you achieve your desires. This does not have to end with mutual losses from both our sides, you don't need an enemy like me."

Rowan did not bother with him, his focus centered on the Primordial Record which was vibrating and going through great changes.

However, Rowan could not wait for whatever changes that the Primordial Record was undergoing to be completed for he sensed that it would take a fair bit of time for that change to end. He still had access to the pages and he flipped over to the seventh page where he was greeted with a scene of disorder.

His stats were jumbled around and the page of the Primordial Record seemed to be glitching, he had expected something like this because he had forcefully stripped himself of so many of his abilities and bloodline and he was tethering on the brink of collapse.

Holding the half-formed Core, Will and his Energy Body in one place was taking its toll.

The whispers from Caine were unceasing,

"You prideful idiot, I am giving you an opportunity that you deserve, but you will waste it if you don't listen to me, you know I speak the truth. Your plan to integrate this ruin is phenomenal, but your Will is barely completed, and until it is fused with the Core it is not a functional power. This Ruin is a mountain and you are still an ant, you will fail to shoulder its weight. Let me be your help, and together we can reconsider the terms of our partnership."

The gem in his hands was beginning to flash rapidly, and the red light it was emitting was getting dimmer, as the thousand heads of Caine began to vanish one by one, even while he was imprisoned, the dissipation of the Chaotic Will never ended, it was only slowed. Without any functional bloodline to keep this Will alive it was doomed to perish in captivity.

Rowan's consciousness reached the bottom of the seventh page and he saw words written below that eased the worry in his heart. He knew that with the Primordial Record, he only needed to create the right opportunities and the Singularity would give a favorable outcome from all the pieces he had brought together.
