The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2064

Chapter 2064: Power Unlimited

An average Primordial would not be able to feel or even detect this presence, because it was subtle, there was this lack in Existence that arose when this presence was around that few could be able to detect.

This was End, and it was not a being, or an entity, but the ultimate cessation incarnate.

Existence was expanding, but Limbo was shrinking, and that caused the essence of End to become incredibly concentrated. This process began a hundred million years ago with the creation of the Origin Realms, and now it had crossed a certain threshold, and End was finally able to truly manifest part of itself inside Existence.

It had no eyes to gaze, no mouth to speak, yet it communicated through the Beast’s own essence, resonating in the hollows where souls once screamed.

"You gather scraps," End conveyed, its "voice" a vibration of absolute finality that made the Beast’s stolen powers quiver.

"Echoes of lesser endings. But the road to ultimate power lies not in accumulation, but in transcendence."

The Beast of Final Rest paused, the crystalline Death half-consumed, its shards hovering in mid-dissolution.

Spitting aside the remnants of its meal, Death rose up in its full glory, and if the Ancient Primordials were here, they would feel great shock because the power of Death at this point, while it could not equal to one of them, it was nearly halfway to that point, and this was with the Beast not leveraging the power of its domain and just using its body alone.

The Primordials had spent nearly sixty-five million Cosmic Eras accumulating all of this power, and in less than a hundred million years, the Beast had taken such large strides.

And yet, the voice of End rang through in its essence. This power that was speaking to it conveyed more than just words, but an intent that was so deep it could only be the truth.

The Beast was tempted. The path to power was before it, but who could say that Eos, Enoch, or the Ancient Primordials were not preparing something that could equal or surpass its efforts?

It wanted to prove to Lumen that it was more than just a prototype, and it could hold the power of End, and with this power, it could seize Origin.

For the first time since its pact with the Primordials, curiosity, or something akin to it, stirred in its core.

It had claimed the power of End in that bargain, and it had become a sliver of the Temple’s domain. With this power, he had been able to pierce the veil of Existence and gain so many benefits, but this was the source itself, formless, eternal, the architect of all terminations.

And it was telling it that it was not enough. There was hesitation in its heart, of course, but the allure of that knowledge was too much to be thrown aside.

"Show me," the Beast responded, its Will unfurling like a cloak of shadows, inviting the intrusion of End.

Greed flickered in its depths because the Beast was not looking to survive this war or gain scraps while championing only the Temple’s benefits; it wanted dominion beyond even the Architects’ veiled throne.

Eos had his freedom and his throne, and yet the Beast knew that no matter how powerful it grew, the temple had placed a ceiling over its abilities, and End, in a single statement, had given it the option to take more than what was offered.

End did not hesitate when the Beast accepted its offer. It enveloped the Beast’s consciousness, pulling it into a revelation.
