The Primordial Record - Chapter 1366

Chapter 1366 Pain

If Thenos would have to curse anyone he would simply have to curse his fate and his fatal bad luck to be paired against someone like Rowan who could counter most of his abilities when he was at the weakest. The moment that Rowan had determined that he would sacrifice anything to kill Thenos, then with the potential and power he had built over the years, such a statement carried great weight.

Rowan had been able to read almost all the moves that the titan was going to make and he made sure that he placed counter to all of them, and he began this battle on his terms, dictating its entire flow. He began by attacking Thenos with weapons to trick the titan into revealing a form that was geared towards fighting in melee before Rowan changed his attack pattern to range with spells.

Thenos had millions of bloodline talents buried inside of him, but due to the constraint of energy, he could not unleash all of them at once, and so facing different situations he would use the best methods to achieve victory. The titan was running out of time and energy, so he had selected the best bloodline talents that would have dominated Rowan, but he was simply played like a fiddle when it used the template of Rowan being a melee-based fighter to pattern the bloodline abilities that he would use to fight him.

Of course in a normal situation with Thenos having enough energy, he would not bother with trying to pattern his abilities according to his enemy's weaknesses but simply overwhelm them with power. It was a shame that from the start, he never really had a choice in the decisions he was making.

When Berrion the Undying had pushed the corrupted darkness of Tenebris inside of Thenos, he did it only to slow down the awakening of this titan, but due to a certain unknown mutation inside the corpse of Thenos, the darkness had transformed into something more fatal, causing Thenos more difficulty to get rid of and further lessening his sanity and overall consciousness power, and it was this corruption that was inside of Thenos that was preventing him to use his greatest weapon, and that weapon was not his talents or the Singularity, but the Primordial Essence that was still inside of him.

This Essence had been saved up over countless Eons, and if Thenos had been able to use it, then it was a simple thing for him to cast out the weaknesses of his flesh, pushing his body to the peak and refilling all of his energy stores. In a single stroke, Thenos could have pushed himself to the peak of his powers. However, there was a catch that held him back.

Wielding infinite power required a mind that was almost infinite in scope, and under the madness of his nature, the corruption inside of him, and in addition to the crippling pain that was ravaging his consciousness in endless waves, Thenos could not access this power. Nonetheless, with the arrival of death, the titan did not care about all of these debilitating statuses and he began to push his consciousness towards the four droplets of Primordial Essence that were placed deep inside his soul by the World Stele. @@novelbin@@

Weariness filled his consciousness and he desired nothing else but to sleep for eons, nearly a billion years of preparation had been squeezed into a single day of near-endless battles, and approaching the end of it all, he wondered if his stamina was enough.

A cool sensation poured into his head, as a warm hand was placed on his chest. He opened his eyes to see Eva kneeling over him, tiny beads of sweat began to emerge from her brows as she pushed the essence of her soul into Rowan.

Slapping her hand away, Rowan's body shimmered and he vanished only to reappear on his feet a moment later, Eva shakily stood up as she groaned, fear and shock in her eyes, "How vast is your soul? It was almost as if I was pouring my soul essence inside an endless abyss."

Rowan looked at her for a moment, fury rising in his heart before he suppressed it, shaking away the emotions that came with having a weak soul, he spoke softly to Eva, "Do not do that again."

Eva's eyes widened in astonishment and there was a bit of hurt inside them before annoyance took its place, "You needed my help."

"No, what I needed was space!" Rowan growled and moved away from her, he walked slowly, his back was bent as if he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, but with every step he took he slowly grew bigger and his back straighter.

He walked towards the nothingness in front of him and he took out the last golden book, this was the only container he had that could store Primordial Essence and he opened the first page.

Gesturing towards the Essence, he closed his eyes and rested, he knew that it would take a bit of time for the Essence to be lured into the golden book, and this should give him enough time to rest.

Brushing Eva off was painful but necessary, at the moment she stayed by his side and poured soul essence inside of him, his dimensional soul that was patched had nearly swallowed everything she had to offer, and what made it worse was that he was aware, and he did not want to stop.
