The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077: The Redeemer

The realization of this truth made the Ascendant energy inside their bodies rebel, and these hundred Temple Maiden began to follow the same route that Nyla once did, their body

accepting both Calamity and Ascendancy, but they were unable to reconcile these two separate Auras in themselves and death was inevitable, but with the presence of the Shiik, this would no longer be the case.

Their mortal bodies were quickly losing cohesion, especially those who were nearing the peak of the Deific Rank, and if not that they were deep underground, the eruption from their bodies would alert everyone on the continent.

Tendrils of blood that resembled spider limbs erupted from the back of the Shiik and pierced into the forehead of every Temple Maiden on the verge of death, with this link the Shiik came to dwell in their brains, and from here she collected all the energy of death they were generating, stabilizing them and injecting a potent surge of vitality into their bodies.

This death that afflicted the Explorers after they knew of the truth was Calamity Aura and it was linked to Pure Darkness, which was the energy that Calamity Gods consumed.

At the moment of death, all beings in this realm release a small bit of pure darkness, and except for Calamity Gods, no one else could harvest this energy. A Calamity God could dwell beneath the earth for millions of years, slowly gathering Pure Darkness from the dead until they evolved to a higher state.

With the interference of Rowan, the Shiik no longer had to use such an inefficient method as the Pure Darkness being generated constantly by Nyla alone was almost equal to ten thousand dead Deific Ranked Explorers. Adding another hundred Temple Maiden feeding her a stream of Pure Darkness made the Shiik shudder in pleasure.

In this manner, she would no longer need millions of years to grow, and since this new method of harvesting Pure Darkness could be scaled upwards with no discernable limits, then the Shiik could rapidly evolve to a higher state of power in such a short time it would leave the rest of reality speechless.

The next level to the Shiik's ability was to acquire the power of Will, and where other immortals could live for an eternity without touching this realm, the Shiik only had to eat the Pure Darkness generated by the Temple Maidens.

"Yes, this is the path for me... I shall rise not on the bones of the dead, but the backs of the living. My throne shall be Life itself and death my footstool!... Look upon your works Father, is it not marvelous, am I not glorious? Worthy of being called your first!"
