The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1950

Chapter 1950: Breaking The Cradle (1)

Eos was weak in many areas, but his strength was great enough that, given the right tools, he should be able to bulldoze his way out of most problems.

For a long time now, he had been struggling to understand the power of End, and this problem only arose because he was missing the necessary components to understand this power; his consciousness powers were more than enough to wield this power; he just needed the key.

The same thing was happening to his Incarnation Rowan, who was becoming the Primordial of Space. Even before reaching this level, his conscious powers were so great that he had already mastered all four layers of the Origin of Space, and he was only missing the right tools to finalize this process.

This temple, which was built outside of time, applied powers that were beyond Rowan’s present manipulation of time, as he could not seize the time stream of this temple, but it did not mean that it was safe from his powers, and Noctis was learning this.

"I thought I caught a snake... but you are a dragon," Noctis sighed, and he pointed towards the other hooded Architects, "Some of them would be pleased by this; they believed we were creating something greater than ourselves, someone, beyond all limits, and I am pleased that our work was not totally useless."

Rowan cocked his head to the side, "You all created me?"

"Ah, I wish," Noctis chuckled, "No, we just brought the right ingredient together following the rules of End and hope that something remarkable would come out of it, I mean, all the parts were accounted for, and with all the power at our disposal, we were bound to be successful."

Rowan glowered, "Explain, and speak from the beginning. I want you to tell me everything that you know."

The ten Watchers had left a shade of themselves behind as they continued their grim task of mapping out the entirety of Existence. This task was fundamentally impossible to complete because it did not take them long after entering Limbo to notice that the fabrics of Existence were constantly expanding.

This process was fascinating as Limbo was made from a structure that was beyond Space, and as a ninth-dimensional space, its expansion went along nine separate parts, with each portion of Limbo feeding on the others in a symbiotic relationship that extended its boundary for all eternity.

It was one of the Archai, a Watcher that revealed the formula for Limbo’s expansion that showed that there was nothing outside Limbo, but the ceaseless power of expansion was tearing through this nothingness to create Existence, and it was deriving the fuel for its expansion from the stuff of nothingness itself.

This process could not be stopped and was self-regulating.

In this manner, Limbo was a perpetual motion engine that would never run out of fuel for its expansion. Technically, Existence would one day grow so large that even the Primordials would become minor parts of its history, just because they would only be able to claim only a small part of it.

At this time, the entirety of Limbo was drenched in evil from the slaughter of countless lives by the Primordials, but all of this was still a problem because, in many ways, Limbo, therefore Existence, was still quite young.

Working with Eos, the Archai determined that Existence, as it was, was around 700 million Cosmic Eras old. This was obviously a very long time ago, and the Primordials rose 65 million Cosmic Eras ago, and their touch had reshaped all of Existence into Limbo.

Still, this revelation that it did not matter what happened in the End, whether the battles were won or lost, one day, Existence would grow so massive that the Primordials would be a footnote. It could happen many quadrillions of Cosmic Eras into the future, but that day would surely come.
