The Primordial Record novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 Hijacking Powers

Fourth went silent as the Worm overhead paused for the first time in nearly five billion years and stopped consuming the Universe Will, he slid down the tree, and from his horrifying mouth, he spat out hundreds of teeth that rained down from the sky and slammed around the Third Prince.

Each tooth was so massive it could stretch across an entire star. These teeth began to shrink and before long they all assumed the humanoid figure of Fourth.

Hundreds of Fourth spoke at once, their voice merging in an unnerving symphony like the singing of a mad god,

"I will forgive the act of finding the Primordial Record and hiding it away from us because only those of our bloodline may use it and without the essence of our father and the life force of a Primordial its powers are still mostly sealed, but this could all come undone if one of us were to fully activate it. Tell me Third, do you have a child? Child? Child? Child? Child child childchildchildchildchildchildchilchildchilcchilcchildchildchildchildchild????"

The Third Prince opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water before he barely whispered, "Yes."

The heavens shook as the worm above roared in rage. His voice reached eternity causing the entire Universe Will to tremble.

The hundreds of Fourths came closer to the Third Prince until they were only a few inches separating them, "Is he under your control?"

The Third Prince whispered again, "No."

One of the humanoid bodies of Fourth suddenly seized another by his throat and began to tear it apart while consuming its flesh, and in a short while the rest of Fourth descended on the single body and ate every single part of it.

Since they were so close to the Third Prince he could see and hear everything in excruciating detail as the needle-sharp teeth of Fourth consumed the selected body. The smell from its butchered body was so pungent that the Third Prince frowned.

The Third Prince understood that this self-cannibalization was a method Fourth used to control his anger, if he had not killed one of himself at this moment, then he would have devoured the Third Prince.

Whatever spell of madness that overtook Fourth seemed to be dissipated as he regained his composure and calmly asked

"How long do we have?"

The Third Prince licked his dry lips, "It might already be too late."

The hundreds of Fourth were silent as if they had all turned to stones and then they all said,

"Tell me everything, from the beginning, and do not leave out any single detail."

?

The Third Prince began to talk. His words were slow and steady as he dispassionately narrated a tale that began many Eras ago.

In the distant past when he was at the height of his powers, he had traveled across the many universes, and in a certain universe on the verge of death, he had come across details of unique variants of Empyreans called Travelers, whose unusual ability involved the power of wishes and luck.
