The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173: Three colors

The importance of Aetherium for Rowan could not be overstated, for although he had an infinite pool of powerful Primordial Aether in his dimension, Aetherium was the next step for this power, but it was gate-keep by the Primordial forces who used the seeds of Aetherium as a bargaining chip to draw geniuses to their side.

The act of gathering Aetherium from the ocean was two-fold, the first was to give him a potent source of energy as he wondered the sort of power he might be able to wield if he used Aetherium instead of Aether to power them, and the second was to learn how to forge his personal Aetherium using the degraded Aetherium of Doom Star as a guide.

If he could succeed, then his act of rejecting the offer of the Aetherium Seed from Elura would not sting as much, and as a hidden hand he could play, Aetherium would be a very potent weapon.

Despite the fact that he could observe every single aspect of the Aetherium being organized inside his Hollow Forge, he could not just replicate them with his Aether, because the Aetherium of Doom Star has unique attributes that were different from Rowan's.

He could however use it as a tool to guide his journey towards creating Aetherium.

The tapping of the Shiik was the only sound that could be heard inside this underground chamber for the next month until Rowan who had been sitting with his eyes closed, shuddered and opened them.

There was a calamitous rumbling ongoing inside Hollow Forge as the final portion of the Aetherium unit was created.

Inside Hollow Forge, a stupendous amount of water was rushing to a single point in the air and vanishing seemingly without a trace. That point had been slowly growing over the last few years until it was now the size of an apple, and the terrifying rumbling that was ongoing inside hollow Forge had been building up over the last two years and now it was at a crescendo.

With a loud pop and a crackle like lightning, the unit of Aetherium was created. It resembled a crystal that was doubly terminated. The crystal at first appeared pitch black, but looking closer at its center would display three colors, red, blue, and green.

Rowan manifested a copy of the Aetherium in his left hand, he could not bring out the real deal outside, because he was sure that no Ascendant in this realm had access to Aetherium, and the emanation of power that would arise if he brought it out would resound all through the realm.

The Shiik stirred, looking around she frowned and went back to tapping her nails on her throne. Rowan sighed again and looked back at the Aetherium Crystal. Holding it in his hands, he could see something that particularly interested him, which was the colors emerging from it.

Not interested in the power of the Aetherium Crystal for the moment, the swirling red, blue, and green color that emerged from the pitch blackness of the crystal was fascinating, and it was a picture of the hidden secrets of this realm.

When Rowan entered Doom Star and crushed an entire continent, something strange happened, he came across two sources of Aura, the red Aura of Calamity and the Blue Aura of Ascendancy. Due to the restrictions imposed on him by the World's Will, he was not able to choose either of these paths, and he was doomed to be swallowed by a Calamity God when his Primordial Ouroboros consumed both of these Auras and combined them into a new and strange purple Aura.
