The Primordial Record novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767 Two Dreadful Choices

Andar's mouth opened and closed, too much information was coming at him without any respite and it was all he could do to swallow everything new in front of his plate. It was too much and his instincts told him there was more to come. The worst was yet to come and the Watcher had just been laying down the foundations before she hit him with the entire revelation.

"Oh, look at the little Mage," Aeris smirked, "I think you have broken him. You have given him matters of too much import Watcher, and he is unfit and unable to comprehend the seriousness of this matter."

"I don't think he is broken," the Watcher's gentle smile remained as she fixed Andar to the spot with her eyes, "none of us could do better than him at this level, even your precious daughter has failed you Aeris, he is perfect. I saw the promise of greatness from the first time I laid my eyes on him, and that promise shines brighter now."

Andar Whispered, "Why me? I am just a talented Mage, any Arch mage exceeds me in experience and power to a massive degree, I have no quality that makes me special… at least not at this time."

The Watcher's smile deepened at his words at the end, "Oh Andar, your potential is what we need and not your power. I told you how the Mages entered the Material Universe by the actions of your Tower Master. This causes every Mage that was born inside this universe to become one of her children, but when a Mage becomes an Arch mage, they would move their Tower to the Magus Supreme World, thereby severing their connection with this universe.

"At the end of a universe, various phenomena are to be expected, and one of them would be similar to this current environment we have simulated. You have proven that even without any warning or preparation you were able to succeed against great odds.

"There are places only a Child of the universe can reach, and in this entire universe, you are the one with the greatest potential. Andar you are a Rank 1 Mage, but the threshold of your powers has reached the Realm of an Arch mage, do you understand how strong you would become as a Rank 9 Mage? Do not look down on your powers."

She turned and looked at the universe and all the frozen state of the Arch mages here alongside the millions of Mages who came to watch Andar become a Master of the seven Magus Discipline.

"You should know that in this universe alone, there are ten billion Mages, and the people with the bloodline of Mages are 305 billion. When this universe dies, all these souls will perish alongside it. This inevitable fate can only be denied if you can seize the Will of the Universe Andar. If not, only the 45 Arch mages currently existing inside the universe would live, the rest would die… including you.

"Andar, I have lived for a very long time, and in those endless years, I have come across countless stories, battles, and lives. I have heard grand tales and the pettiest arguments anyone can make for the reasons for their actions.

"I have heard the tales of kings, of gods, of Angels and Demons, of Titans and Beasts, and all of them claim to know the reason for creation and the worth of a life.

"I will tell you this with all the confidence I have acquired as the Watcher of Universes… You would never perform a greater service than fighting for the Will of a Universe. Even if you die on this path, you would have achieved something that countless mortals from the beginning of creation to its end would never accomplish."

The Watcher removed her hands from Andar's shoulders and took a step back, waiting for him to digest everything she had said.

"My disciple, heed my words, you do not need to follow this path." The deep voice of Silas Black dragged his gaze away from the enchanting eyes of the Watcher and he looked at this grim figure in black.
