The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2022

Chapter 2022: We Paved The Road

Noctis did not flinch from Eos’s reaching hand, clearing his throat while brushing invisible dust from his sleeves, he unhurriedly said, "I know your foundations are more robust than most can ever imagine, Lord Eos, but as you have found out, killing me is only hurting you and not me. Every memory you have taken has come from Noctis, the Primordial, and not from me, the Architect of End. How long do we have to make this dance before you admit your failings and allow me the chance to explain my position?"

Eos paused, his hand an inch from Noctis’s face. Although the Primordial of Screaming Void did not show it, his heart, which had been accelerating, slowly settled. He may have a flamboyant attitude, but Noctis did not want to die. Primordials were never meant to be killed, and every time he was killed, it took a toll on his individuality and psyche.

He had lied that he was not affected by all of these deaths, when it would only take a few dozen deaths until his mind began to fracture. He was already struggling to exist in two timelines as it was, and repeated deaths would only take him past the limits.

His true body that was now fused to the Temple of End did not experience time because the temple existed outside Existence, and there was nothing like Time outside Existence. If not for the connection that he had with this avatar of his inside Existence, Noctis would not even be able to perceive Time.

"Tell me, Noctis," Eos finally said, "Do you believe the words coming from your mouth? Close your eyes and review all you know of me, and tell me you do not see where this story ends for you."

Nictis shook his head in defiance, "I do not believe that I cannot make a difference, and that my death would be the best outcome for your cause. You are making a mistake by not effectively using me, Lord Eos. The Temple of End created you and the Primordial Record to become the source of change that exists beyond the scope of Enoch. Don’t you see?..."

Opening his palm, Noctis created a small representation of Lumen, the wings of Enoch,

"Lumen saw the future and saw the past, it knows that Enoch could not contain the power of End, and that the last Luminous had fallen in a pit that could never be dug open. It also knew that the true culprit that led to the destruction of the Luminious was themselves and not Enoch, they poured all their fear, needs and pain inside a child, and that was the trap laid by End to destroy them, but you should understand, End, like Origin is just a force that can be controlled, and in the Temple of End, all the methods needed to control this power can be found, we can be your ally and teach you all that you need to know."
