The Primordial Record novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704 The Sand Lines

?Circe did not need to be told twice, she looked away and concentrated on anything else besides the pain that seemed to have no end to it. Like an ostrich that pushed its head into the sand and believed it was fully hidden, pretending the pain was non-existent did not help a single bit, but she could lie to herself.

She lay there for the next three days, and with an audible crack her Incarnation State was lost and she fell back to the Rift State. She nearly screamed aloud in abject misery, but her jaws refused to open as her entire body seized up.

A process like this should have released a massive amount of energy, but all the power she was letting go of was just quietly vanishing, whatever process Rowan was using to break down her powers, he was doing it without wasting a single iota of energy, how was he able to manipulate energy like this without having access to his full abilities.

Circe would have been impressed if she knew that for him, such an act was not even considered a challenge, or perhaps he understood the methods of utilizing energy instinctively and at such an advanced level, that nothing could be considered impossible when it came to matters like this.

Her convulsion ceased and with it a greater portion of the pain that had nearly driven her mad. With her mind free from pain, it began to wander and Circe could not help but ask, "Those people… all those worlds, are they inside of you, or are you a mirror that reflects other realities, what I saw, was it even real?"

Rowan was silent, and she panicked a little, perhaps her question must have crossed a certain line, "I am sorry, the only thing that I find distracting enough to suppress the pain is when I think about you…"

There was a smile in Rowan's voice when he replied, "When you think about me? Why Circe, I was not aware I had made such a profound impression."

Even in the midst of pain, Circe rolled her eyes, "You know that is not what I mean," muttering to herself, "All men are the same, be they gods or titans or whatever they are."

She was not expecting an answer and she appreciated that his unexpected joke was enough to make her smile and forget the torture she was under, but she became surprised when Rowan spoke, "There are thousands of worlds inside of me, each holding billions of lives. All those lives spread out are nearly uncountable to a mortal mind, and this is the reason you risk madness when you look at me."

"A mortal, even an Earth god can only experience one life at a time, perhaps if he lived long enough he might change into someone entirely new, but at most, a mortal can only become a new person maybe ten times at most, before their soul reaches its limit and dissipates. When you look deeply into me, it is to see the lifetimes of a trillion lives. If you do not quickly stop, your identity will be splintered into trillions of tiny pieces and you don't want to know the effect that would have on your body. Trust me, it would be the most horrifying thing you shall ever witness in your life."

The Sand Line unlike its name, was not made from sand but were sheets of massive metallic plates that could be as wide as twenty miles hovering a few feet above the ground, that could travel as high as thirty miles when it was moving. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
