The Primordial Record novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824 Expanding His Reach

?The God of War was losing, badly, according to all mortal standards. Yet the battles between immortals were quite different from mortals. They used their greatest weapon during their battles which was time to maneuver their way through a conflict.

A battle between gods was not fought in hours, days, or weeks, their battle was fought across eons.

Rowan was a terrifying being in the sense that every Immortal battle he had fought had always been quite short. He had all the traits of a God-Killer, and he had never truly had any reason to fight a protracted battle, as he could reach the core of any god which was their soul, disregarding their bodies.

This was the greatest advantage of an Immortal Soul, which was the ability to create as many bodies as they wanted while keeping their core safe using nothing but Divine Energy.

The bodies they created were as powerful as the amount of Intent they had mastered, it was the reason why the avatar of a Major god that had mastered more than one Intent could easily crush a Minor god.

Tiberius has mastered tens of Intent, and the strength of his Avatar was more powerful than even a High god, but he was still being thrashed, not even able to harm a single hair of his opponent.

However, it did not matter if Telmus killed the body of Tiberius a thousand times, as long as the god had access to divine essence, he would be able to recreate his body as many times as he wanted.

This was the greatest distinction between a mortal and an immortal, they no longer had the limitations of the flesh.

Although for someone like Telmus, that distinction was blurry and was nearly non-existent to him because he could easily follow the direction of the gods' divine energy and track their God Spark and then he could direct his attacks towards it. He was a master of Space after all.

A god would usually hide their Divine Kingdoms in a hidden portion of space, against Telmus whose reach was nearly Omniscient, they could as well be waving a bright sign pointing to their Divine kingdom anytime they channeled power. He did not fear any god and like Rowan he was a God Killer.

Nevertheless, against the Gods of Trion, this ability to penetrate space would be useless, because their God Spark were protected by a sea of destruction. This potent energy would consume whatever attacks were thrown their way, and even if any could manage to go through, the Vaults that protected their God Spark were almost indestructible.

The Gods of Trion with these defenses were supposedly invincible, and Telmus was now experiencing what it meant for a mortal to battle a god. No matter how powerful or talented that mortal was to be, against the might of time, everything would fall apart, and even Telmus would tire and make a mistake.

If Telmus was aware of this fact, he did not show it, but Rowan could hear the rumble from the sea of destruction around the vault as the blows from Telmus crossed through space and shook the entire area.

The smell of blood inside the vault was very harsh, and Rowan shortly noticed that the boiling pool of blood was a second stream of Tiberius's Divine Essence which was separate from the one that was naturally produced inside his God Spark.

Like Boreas, Tiberius had chosen to sink the treasures he must have acquired using his Labyrinth Coins into this small pool of blood, and he must have acquired a lot of treasure from that place, because apart from Rowan's Sea of Aether, he had never come across such a dense amount of essence.
