The Primordial Record novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743 Who Is The True Traitor?

Rowan hurriedly ran through the knowledge he knew about Minerva while pairing it with the impression Boreas had about this goddess.

The most likely result that he derived was that she was the creator of the Order of Broken Eye, then which meant she was in league with his father. There would be no other reason for her Anima to be present deep inside the Nexus where she was overseeing a page of his Primordial Record while birthing a mysterious clone that Rowan had slaughtered.

Rowan looked deeply at this goddess. She sat with her hands folded primly on her thighs, her eyes looked down and away from the gods, others might call it a sign of reservation but Rowan recognized it for what it was. Contempt. Although she tried to hide it, Minerva held nothing but contempt for the gods.

There was also something different about her, Rowan could not place his fingers on it, but it was mostly because of her eyes, they were cracked like glass that had been shattered but still forcefully held together, and there was a fierce intelligence hidden inside it.

Rowan caught glimpses of Boreas's impression of this goddess, and he saw that he hated her. Amongst them all she was the most mysterious, she was not a team player and her objectives were unknown. She did not fight for power or influence and she always had a smile that made Boreas think she thought of him as nothing but an animal.

The temptation to hurl a thunderbolt at the goddess anytime he saw her was so strong, that he made a statue of Minerva from Davross that he destroyed after their meeting. It was a pale imitation, but it would have to do.

From what Rowan could dig from Boreas memories, he found out that the reason she was not burdened with a vault was because she helped the God King in the past, and as a reward she was given an entire continent on Trion.

This was most likely not the full story, but it was a start.

Trion had seven continents, two of which were dedicated towards the great battle against the Demons and Mages, leaving five inhabitants continents.

Of those five continents a single one was given to Minerva, and the rest of the gods shared the remaining four continents between them.

For an entire continent to be given to Minerva was suspicious, but unlike the other gods, she did not hold any worlds outside of Trion. This was another reason the rest of the gods accepted this proposal, as Minerva had been forbidden to ever own a planet outside Trion.

Boreas remembered that she did not fight this decision. Only smiled that stupid smile of hers and nodded her head in acceptance.

There was also another reward given to her—Telmus. A genius like none other, whom they granted the possibility to become a god of Trion, but had refused. A glory that no one had ever received or will ever receive.

Rowan was impressed, who was this man that refused such great power? Was Minerva the one behind his decision or was he just that freaking stubborn?

His inquiry dragged whatever impression Boreas had about him to the forefront and he saw a white-haired man with strong features and a confident bearing. He was an Ancestor of the Minerva family and he had been supposedly imprisoned for a long time and he was recently freed.

Rowan would bet that this imprisonment was because of his refusal to become a god of Trion. He was interesting, but nothing to be concerned about, Rowan looked away before he hurriedly paused this memory.

He called up the image of Telmus and analyzed it for a while. He had detected something about him that drew his attention, he did not know what it was, but at his level, every single indication of something special was most likely to be the case.

Rowan could not shake the feeling that he had seen Telmus before. Not just seen him, but he had consumed him.

'I have eaten you before… when? Where?'
