The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2134

Chapter 2134: None Shall Pass

Most of them were hosts from the Ancient Primordial’s armies, but some of them came from the Temple of End, and those were usually the ones that had to be looked out for because they had unexpected abilities that needed to be properly suppressed before things went out of hand.

With the birth of the fourth generation of Primordials, the number of Primordials in the Origin Realms had neared eight hundred, and that meant that at every moment, there were at least fifty Primordials in the space above the Origin Realms, defending it at all times from Primordial-level threats that roamed the heavens.

The fifth generation of Primordials was on the verge of being born, as they had all gone into seclusion for their final retreat, and because their number was around ten thousand, it meant the fifth generation would be the generation where Primordials would take charge of all the Origin Spaces of the ten thousand Origin Realms, and would mark the shift in the number of Pimordials inside them.

It was expected that the sixth generation of Primordials would number in the hundreds of thousands, and at that time, they would be the ones to attack and no longer defend. But would the enemy give the Origin Realms the chance to accumulate power to such an extent before they attacked with their entire army?

Telmus, the Primordial of Defiant Ascension, knew that the enemy would not wait, and for a hundred million years, he had been preparing his blade for this day.

He was standing high above the Origin Realms, and below him, the endless battle raged, but Telmus had his eyes closed, and anything that mistakenly drifted towards him, whether they were in the levels of Primordials, would not last a single second before an invisible slash tore them in two.

For a while now, Telmus had been pushing for the fifth level of Defiant Ascension, and he felt like he was close to it, yet that slight gap between the fourth and the fifth level of Defiant Ascension was wider than a great chasm.

He was missing something essential, and there was no one who would be able to aid him but himself. The advantages and disadvantages of the New Path of Primordials were stark; without great personal talent and greater luck, you would never be able to see the higher levels of your Origin.

When Eos shattered the first Ancient Origin inside the Hollow, leading to the ascension of one of his Incarnation situated in one of the Origin Realms, Telmus opened his eyes as he sensed the Tribulation that was beginning to arise around the Incarnation below, and in the blink of an eye, across the entire Origin Realms, hundreds of Eos’s Incarnation began to reach the Primordial level, and Telmus knew that the time had come.

He sighed; it seemed that the period for the gentle contemplation of his Origin was over, and now it was a time for war.

If Eos had begun to make this step, it was a sign that the end of the war had started, and the job of Telmus and all the Primordials was to keep the Origin Realms safe because the entirety of Existence depended on the safety of these realms.

"Be careful, warrior," the Archai gestured towards the distance, showing Telmus the endless immensity that was about to fall on the Origin Realms. "The armies created by the Ancient Primordials are not mere soldiers; they were infinite hordes of entropy incarnate, each creature a perversion designed to devour not just bodies, but souls, memories, time, logic, and life itself." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As the Archai spoke, it showed Telmus all the information they had been gathering in secret about the army, the Soulwraiths, Abyssal Brood, Paradox Behemoths, Chronophages, Memorivores, and Necroflores numbered beyond reckoning, their ranks swelling eternally from the devoured remnants of sacrificed realms, and the Ancient Primordial’s endless hunger.

"Let them come, Archai, like their masters, they shall all fall,"

Telmus stretched forth his hand, and his spear manifested upon it, and with a single thrust, the battlefield below suddenly went silent, and the billions of corrupted creatures battling below suddenly collapsed. Only a few Primordial entities still clung to life, but they were losing their Origin Essence with no way to stop the leakage, and it was only a matter of time before they perished.

With a mournful howl, fifty Primordial-level creatures chose to detonate their essence, causing fifty bright supernovae to shine over the entirety of the Origin Realms and reveal a long dark scar that had suddenly appeared overhead, where the heartbeats of a host of monsters could be heard through it.
