The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2129

Chapter 2129: Killing Memory

As Memory fought to escape the hold of Eos with all his might, chunks of Eos’s prismatic flesh were ripped away, screaming as they died. Even diminished under the light of the Crucible, Memory was a Luminious, and his strength was the peak of what Existence knew for a very long time.

The only problem was that Eos was too big and he regenerated a little too quickly to be decimated by this effort, not even when a cluster of his too-many joints shattered, spraying golden ichor that tore into Existence, and resounded into the distance of space and time.

Even still, it was not enough. Memory was screaming and fighting, calling for the aid of the other Ancient Primordials, but they seemed to all be frozen in place at the spectacle before them. It was as if everything they knew before was a lie, and now they were seeing the real face of Existence.

It was not so long ago that they had Eos under their thumb, and they could manipulate him to do anything they wanted. He was a child born with a blind fold, and his mind had been broken time and time again. Despite his overwhelming talent, they had the assurance inside them that Eos would never exceed a certain limit. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

As it turned out, they were all fools, and they were the real pawns in the game, and the evidence for this was screaming for their help before it was devoured by an abomination that defied meaning.

The truth was that Memory could have given Eos a much greater fight than this, but a moment before, Enoch was born, and in an act of profound hunger and selfishness, he had consumed all the unique essence of the sixth dimension all over Existence to power the reclamation of his new body.

With Eos omniversal physique, he could grab all of his echoes that were spread all over the parallel realities, but there were many more out there, and Memory as a Luminious would have been able to wield all of that strength, but Enoch had taken it all.

Eos remained silent as Memory raged; the strength in his arms was enough to crack Existence in two, and it was all of that strength that was pulling Memory towards his death.

"Stop Eos, you do not want to kill me.. I know many things, secrets that you would need. Trust me, I can serve under your banner; you would need my strength for what is to come for you. The Great Hand, you will need me to fight against him!"

Finally, Eos paused, and the suggestion of his face cracked, and for a moment, something real peeked through, something vast and hungry and ancient.

"Your time has come to an end, Memory, and your memories would serve me a thousand times better than you ever could."

"YOU WILL NOT CONSUME ME!" Memory howled. "I AM ETERNAL! I AM THE RECORD OF ALL THAT WAS! WITHOUT ME, NOTHING IS REMEMBERED! WITHOUT ME, YOU—"

"You’ll be part of me," Eos snarled. "And through me, you’ll be remembered forever."

With a final pull that crushed whatever resistance that Memory had over Existence, Eos pushed him through the gate and the Crucible closed.
