The Primordial Record novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820 Wielding The Stars

?Telmus' words hung in the air for a while and it was broken by the Empress's loud laughter, "I admire you Telmus, I truly do. You choose to bind yourself to the laws you hate and you still wonder why it does not follow your will. You are weak despite all your powers, and it is your madness that will come to an end, not those of the gods. The last time I checked, they were gods, and you are mortal. Your words are empty and your hand is weak."

Telmus sneered and pointed at the Empress, "You are giving me reasons to change my mind about keeping you alive with every word that comes from your mouth. I have not obstructed your war, and instead given more than it would ever need to succeed. This is my final offer and warning Scarlet, don't test me!"

The Empress tapped the side of her throne in amusement, "So you are finally going to shed your cloak of civility and rebel?"

Telmus growled, an air of menace erupting from his body that shook the stars and he closed his eyes and breathed out slowly, releasing the tension that had been building and making all the Earth gods nearly fall to the ground in relief.

They all saw the difference between them and Telmus, and it was as wide as the gulf between the stars. In their eyes were a mixture of fear and adoration. Telmus was an Earth god like them all, but he had reached such high levels of power by the effort of his sheer talent.

Was it possible that a single person could be so blessed? Surely even the gods would not be able to challenge him at the same level. Was there any single Earth god in all of creation that could stand before him?

The Empress could easily read the hearts of these Ancestors, and her smile grew brighter even as her rage burned hotter, she spoke sweetly and the Ancestors shuddered,

"Wise choice Telmus, we require at least forty million Earth gods from the Minerva bloodline, which should leave twenty percent of your population free of this purge. It is the most favorable condition you can ever have, no one here had this sort of grace given to their families. Including me, so you have no more excuses."

Telmus growled and began to walk away, his body began to slowly fade into the darkness leaving his long white hair floating like a mirage, the Empress chuckled but her eyes were filled with anger, "Oh, I think you might know that I took your daughter for my personal handmaiden until the war is over. She would be by my side and completely safe."

Telmus stopped walking away and his body returned, he looked down at his palms, where there were two lines wiggling, clashing, and attempting to fuse. He was close, but still so far away, "Fuck it, the stars are dead, what future does my child have in the universe of the dead? Better if it all burns"

He stretched forth his hand and grabbed one of the ephemeral chains bounding him to the stars and pulled.

The chains binding him to the stars were made so they were ephemeral and Telmus or anyone else was not supposed to have the ability to touch them. Telmus however, never cared for rules. His entire life had been about breaking rules.

The initial tug on the chain was made with so much power that the rotation of Trion, the biggest Major World in the universe, stopped for a second.

A massive shockwave erupted from his position that shattered the earth for thousands of miles and vaporized every single Earth god except the Empress, whose throne was shattered to pieces.

A bright light shone for an instant and winked out, leaving behind a black stone hovering in the air. _{freёwebnovel.com}
