The Primordial Record novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Strings (3)

The bloodline was now Soul Reaver, and although they came across as similar titles, he did not doubt that this one was more powerful than the Soul Seizer Bloodline.

As his Spirit grew, so too did his ability to comprehend esoteric forces and other fundamental laws, he was now more capable of understanding certain intricate flows of power.

The Soul Reaver bloodline oozed power and control, it pointed to a path beyond the material universe, to the control of forces so abstract, that its presence could rewrite the laws governing reality.

Yet, he had no desire to even upgrade or utilize the bloodline beyond its soul collection ability for the moment, if he could still collect soul points without any issues, he did not plan to touch this bloodline until he understood it well enough.

He may be making a mistake, but he was unwilling to walk on blind in any matters concerning the Primordial keepers, unlike his Empyrean bloodline he sensed malice from this other bloodline.

His field of vision was still too small, as he had not gotten into contact with the wide world, before touching this bloodline he had to make sure he was prepared.

If life itself was a chessboard, he was still a pawn, even with all his potential, it would be easy to crush him, maybe if he was a youth or a younger man with less experience in life, he may be willing to charge into battle without second thought.

He was not a young man anymore, and even if he would fearlessly charge into battle, he would make sure he properly assessed his odds.

The massive amount of Soul point that was needed to develop the Soul Reaver bloodline also made his eyes twitch, he pushed this genie lamp to the side, it was tempting, and would likely have stupendous benefits, but he still had his fears that he was too ignorant about the true meaning of his Empyrean bloodlines.

If this world had gods, then it was not farfetched to think they must have vast knowledge of other powerful beings, he doubted he would be able to collect any information from them… Yet.

But that was not the point, there must certainly be libraries, and other sources of valuable information he could be able to gather. At this time, he was in a cage, but he would soon break out and his second source of weakness—Lack of information, would be solved to a certain extent.

It was not lost on him how peculiar his situation was, he may have had access to knowledge that could exceed the scope of everyone around him, but he was missing certain fundamental common information to tie together all this knowledge he had.

He was like a mad scientist that could know the formula to the most complicated equation in existence but did not know how to tie his shoes, or cook his food. He was an Idiot Savant who knew of powers far beyond the gods, but could not understand the mortal stages that were below them.

His perception dwelled on the second box he needed to uncover, his Legendary Ability. The presence of this ability emitted was strange, it seemed to faintly suppress his bloodline, as if it suppressed itself in order to fit inside him.

He guessed maybe it was because this bloodline ability was too powerful, and even though his Attributes were extremely inflated for a legendary State Dominator, he was still too weak to harness its might properly.

Just the Legendary ability that was randomly selected by his unconscious self, had such a vast Aura behind it, he felt humbled.

Was this just a random bloodline ability, or did he just win the lottery? The snakes in his heart actually began to stir, as this ability had become intrinsically connected to them.

It was a stark reminder that however he had grown, he was still an ant in the sight of the truly powerful.
