The Primordial Record novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 I Want It All (8)

If he were to live up to his full potential, and not let fear of his future dominate his choices, he would need to step up to his full potential. He would need all his Empyrean bloodlines, for they both served to shore up the weakness he had.

His vision of that future changed his perspective on things. He remembered the end of that vision. He had torn the universe to dregs and an army of Empyrean stood against him, yet he had felt no dread.

Rowan's fears came from a series of chains that extended from beyond the universe. These chains felt familiar, for they reeked of the Primordial Keeper's stench.

His body had been inviolable and indestructible, and the only time he felt fear was before the chains of the Primordial keepers, there was a lesson there; it was one he did not choose to ignore.

He could no longer run from the backlash of this bloodline, and whatever dangers he might face, it would be better if he had a sort of defense from it.

In addition, his one greatest weakness was his Spirit. Before, Rowan had comforted himself with sweet lies that his Spirit Stat were still very impressive, and that he was a Dominator at the Legendary State, yet his Spirit Attributes were at the peak of the Rift State.

Not to take anything away from his accomplishment, he knew that the Spirit Attribute was the most difficult to raise. It was unheard of to see a Dominator of his level having such a high Spirit.

But those views were before he still saw himself as a Dominator first, and an Empyrean second. He had seen the end of that path, and he would inevitably fall and lose his fragile human mind, and it would not be so bad if the results only affected him alone.

No, he would pull all of creation down with him, as he would not be there to control the powers of his bloodline, and it would follow its instinct to consume and grow, until everything was gone.

Wasn't it said that with great power comes great responsibilities? How pitiful would it be to destroy all existence because he could not control his powers?

Plus, he had sworn an oath to destroy the Primordial Keepers, for he knew they wanted nothing more than to destroy him, and it stung that even at the end, at the height of his powers, he still felt fear.

He was no human, the frailties, and limitations of the human body were not his to share, his baseline was something even the gods could not touch.

He was done thinking of his weakness as strength. If he could not fight the Keepers with all the advantages he had, then he did not deserve to have those advantages.

Rowan sensed a movement in the convoy, which was possible by the arrangement he made before he left, after all he was no longer alone, and he smiled, knowing he should clean out all the horde here, so he could fully concentrate on that other matter.

Taking in a deep breath that sucked all the air around him, creating a mini twister, Rowan summoned his Primordial Record, and looked at the Soul Reaver bloodline.

After it had evolved from Soul Seizer following the accidents during his ascension to the Legendary state, he had not activated that bloodline. It was at Level Zero, and although the passive effect of Soul Seizer remained, the truth was that it was only a shell. A vestige of his previous Soul Seizer bloodline.

This decision he was about to make was monumental, and Rowan knew the moment he activated the second Omnipotent Bloodline, the fraying cord between him and humanity would collapse to nothingness. For this, bloodline in some way was far stranger than the Ouroboros Bloodline, and the influence on him would be tremendous.

It would change him, in ways he may never anticipate.
