The Primordial Record novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742 A Traitor And A Betrayer

Without access to multiple consciousnesses, it was a bit difficult for Rowan to separate his deeper introspection while analyzing every detail of the memory he was watching.

He silenced his chaotic thought process and focused on what was happening at the moment, he would analyze these memories later, what was important was not to miss any slight clue that came up. He would not have the advantage where another godly being would tell him all the answers to his questions.

Every answer he would receive must be fought for, and no one was here to help him if he made a wrong conclusion from the data he collected. Rowan would rather have it this way, he trusted no one, not even reality, and only wisdom and a firm mind would lead him through the countless dangers in his path.

With this in mind, he concentrated on the memories, specifically on the armored figure sitting on a throne made from wood.

Rowan was able to see more of the God King and he saw something shocking. The god King was dying.

This was a terrible sign and it made Rowan destroy many of his previous assumptions. The God King was supposed to be Immortal, and unlike a mortal, death was something that should be much harder to come by for such a being.

Through tiny gaps in the armor, he saw pale bones and rotting flesh, the yellow eyes of the God King seemed feverish and Rowan could smell the intense sense of rot emanating from his body.

Not dying… dead, but still too stubborn to relinquish his hold on power.

The Great Sword beside him was also the same, it was made from bones, and there were veins that ran along the spine of the sword that pushed cold congealed blood along its lengths, yet even in death, this weapon grew more powerful, as if its spite against all life was multiplying the closer it got to death.

This weapon was dangerous. Rowan felt an almost instinctive aversion to it, and he was almost amused at this emotion because it signified that if he was attacked enough times with this weapon, then it would be able to kill him.

If his father had more than one Aspect, and he was referred to as the Traitor, then it was most likely the case that sometimes in the past, his father must have betrayed the God King. There was no one else who should be able to injure this powerful figure to this extent.

Perhaps his father must have felt that his injuries would have killed off the God King by now, but this man did not know the meaning of giving up. He was already a rotting corpse, yet he and his greatsword still clung to life, too stubborn to die.

Rowan had assumed that the reason his father chose such a weak physique previously was to hide himself from the gaze of other powers in the universe. Yet he never considered the fact that his father could be hiding from someone inside Trion itself.

This would explain so many actions he took in the past. Why would he ally himself with such weak Dominators like Augustus and the others? Why did he have to be truly threatened on Jarkarr by the Demon Prince and his mother escaping before he revealed his might? Also, why was his presence not well known on Trion?

The answer was simple, he was also being hunted.
