The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2179

Chapter 2179: A Truth Worth Recording (3)

The Will of Truth was the only thing that kept Eos safe from the power of this Luminious.

With Eos present power, it was impossible for someone to twist his mind, and so the fact that he could pity this girl and willingly cut out a part of his Origin meant that Reality itself had changed around him to make him always feel for this child.

This was a unique power that his Will of Truth saved him from, and this gave him the chance to retaliate.

This Luminious, wearing the skin of Nyxara, not only wanted to consume the seventh dimension, but she also wanted to collect parts of the greatest creation of this present Existence, Eos himself.

Cutting off a piece of his Origin and giving it to Nyxara had undoubtedly weakened him, but Eos had also placed a trap inside his core.

Looking at the expanding garden that would soon cover the entirety of the Hollow, Eos smiled in satisfaction.

However, it was not long before a disturbance drew him to the center of the garden where the child had exploded.

The ground bulged, and from it a new girl was born again with hair the color of starlight, and in her hands, she held the pale light that Eos suspected was the true form of the Luminious.

He sighed. He should have known; it was never going to be easy.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at Eos, and in those eyes, he did not see any familiar emotion, just surprise and a bit of fear.

Then there was a flicker, and that fear was gone, replaced by old knowledge.

Eos knew that a moment before, this girl had been born a blank slate, but the mind of the Luminious had just taken over her body.

He blinked as he suddenly felt pain in his chest, and looking down, he saw the girl smiling up at him with her hand closed around his heart.

One moment she had been lying on the ground, and the next her hand was inside his body.

Eos did not know anyone faster than him, and even if they were, it was impossible for his senses not to have detected them, and so the only reason this could happen was if this girl was able to somehow deceive Existence itself that she was not lying on the ground but standing before him.

"That is a nifty trick." Eos gasped, "How do you do it?"

The girl smiled, "You think this is anything? Wait until you see me do this."

Eos gasped in shock as the hand that had encircled his heart was suddenly grabbing more than his physical form; it also grabbed his core.

It was not the first time that Eos had fallen under attacks that transformed his body back to flesh and blood; it was one of the few attacks that worked on him, and so he had long found ways to defend himself against attacks like this.

In essence, whenever he is transformed into flesh, his consciousness enters a state in which his flesh becomes a meat suit, and no matter the kind of damage he suffers, it no longer affects the core of who he is.

However, this power of the Luminious was changing rules and Existence seemingly at her whim, making it so that he had never taken any step to shield his consciousness from his flesh.

"You fool," she whispered, and the sound traveled to his ears where it echoed repeatedly, "fool...fool...fool."

As the voice echoed, it began to change. First, it sounded like a girl, then it grew a bit deeper and more majestic until it sounded like the voice of a woman that he had never heard before. "Did you think it would be that easy? Did you think I would let you win?"

Eos looked down at the child, and he noticed that the garden was gone. All of the energy that was inside the light, which fed the growth of the garden, had been taken back and reversed.

Existence seemed to flicker, and the pain in Eos’s chest multiplied exponentially as the child was no longer present and in her place was the true Nyxara, her form whole again, but also different.
