The Primordial Record novel Chapter 869

?Rowan had reached the end of this space and he had time to check out the bodies in detail, wondering why it was left behind and not taken like everyone else and he soon had the answers.

The heads of the Primordial Keepers were missing so he could not see their facial features, and their bodies were wrapped in black robes, even in death, their ethereal nature was still present as now and then, their bodies seemed to fade in and out of reality.

He had never expected to find dead Primordial Keepers inside this place, and it strikes Rowan as amusing that at the same time, the Primordial Keepers came to collect his soul when he was a mortal beneath the light of the Red Moon, someone else had done much worse and they had been inside their domain, perhaps if they had not been so focused on him and they had looked up, they might have seen the dead bodies of their kin.

Nevertheless, he was not here for the past, he would understand it and learn from it, his goal was for the future, and his light had reached the end of this land. Nothing was stopping him from claiming it, his abilities to seed worlds came from a Primordial, and like everything those beings were capable of, it was mighty.

Taking time to consider what he was about to do would only cripple his decision-making. He might be making a terrible mistake connecting with this skull, but Rowan was ready to destroy the three consciousnesses he had placed inside this World Seed if he came across a problem he could not control.

With every new revelation about the power and the resources of the Reflections coming to light, he knew he had limited time to act before they became aware of the full nature of his power and responded appropriately. With the time he had bought for himself, if he did not make this move, then the advantages that he paid for would be lost.

The World Seed that had been rotating shuddered before releasing thousands of tendrils, each one stretched for hundreds of light years before burying themselves into every corner of this city and digging towards its foundations which was the skull.

Rowan immediately felt the strain of power consumption, every inch of the skull that his tendrils dug through called for an enormous amount of energy.

It was a good thing then that he had too much Aether from the universe assimilation than he knew what to do with.

Inside the skull, the light of Astrolabe shone bright and connected to the World Seed as vast amounts were siphoned into it.

The World Seed vibrated and then began to shrink as it glowed brighter and with a dull roar, the number of tendrils he released increased from a few thousand to a hundred thousand, at the same time the World Seed expanded to three times its previous size and its sheen changed from gold to a purple gold.

The entire skull shook as the assimilation of the World Seed accelerated.

Circe watched as Eva, a woman who seemed larger than life began directing her troops. Beneath her fingers was a large hologram with billions of blinking lights and connected to those lights were tiny purple tendrils that led into her shadow, a shadow that covered the entire ground for endless miles.
