The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1032

1032 Hidden Hand

The Aura of the Explorer that was killed was purified, and as it rushed into the body of the Shiik, headed for the core of its power which was the rune resembling a withered hand, Rowan halted it in place, before diverting it towards him.

Although the growth of Aura did not depend on the type of Aura it consumed, whether from Calamity or Ascendance, for Rowan's future plans to work, the energy of the Shiik must be kept pure, which means any Aura it absorbed must come from Calamities… Rowan on the other hand would be feeding on the energy of Ascendancy.

The Shiik had never killed an Explorer before and so although its body was filled with Aura to a bursting point, the Aura was all the red of Calamity.

The purified Aura flowed towards the sitting Rowan and he kept it hovering above his palm, it resembled a faint ball of blue liquid and it was one of the strangest power systems that Rowan had encountered because it was one of the very few techniques that he had come across—and he had seen an infinite number of technique using the Supreme Circle—that managed to weaponize Aura.

With his Titles, he could process this energy of Aura from its source without any waste, and the amount of Aura in front of him was enough to push any Explorer or Calamity to the Heroic Rank. The Giant Shiik had consumed so much purified Aura of Calamities it should have long exceeded the Heroic Rank, but because its potential ended at this rank, all that energy was channeled towards its body.

Two other balls of blue Aura appeared and merged with the Aura and the blue ball tripled in size. Rowan understood that Aura in its base form was harmless, it was present in every living thing and was grown and influenced by their activities throughout their lives.

Rowan no longer had an Aura, it had disappeared when he became a dimension, and the one he kept around him was fake. He knew enough about Aura to create an exact shell around himself. This new body of his also had no Aura, and Rowan hypothesized that the reason he was able to create the strange purple Aura, was that he was essentially a blank slate and had no inherent Aura to interfere with this process, else an energy like that would have long been discovered. However, he needed to be much stronger before he created that Aura again, and that meant he had to walk the path of Ascendancy and the Shiik would walk the path of Calamities, until they were strong enough to merge as one.

What Rowan found fascinating about this blue Aura was the manner it caused a transformation in the flesh, and he could not shake the feeling that this energy was recognizable but he needed more of this Aura to confirm his hypothesis.

The ability to change the bodies of the natives of this world was truly heads and shoulders above all other Aura techniques available in reality outside.

There was something mixed in with this Aura that intrigued him, and without much ado, he allowed the ball of blue to touch him, he gasped in shock when the realization of what was familiar about this energy touched him—It was a Singularity, and he recognized it.

Rowan tried to scan through the limited memories in his head, yet no matter how he dug into his consciousness he could not figure out how he recognized this power. As far as he could tell he knew of only one Singularity—The Primordial Record, but wait… where there not supposed to be a second one?

'Why can't I remember it? There is no reason I can recognize a second Singularity without coming in touch with one in the past. What the fuck happened to me after the end of the universe? Caine, this missing memory of a Singularity and other mysteries surrounding the method I reached outside reality…. Nemesis!'

For a normal native of this world, this amount of Purified Aura would have pushed them towards the peak of the Heroic Rank and maybe a bit over it, but for Rowan, it barely filled a thousandth of his enhanced cells. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
