The Primordial Record

Chapter 1013: Time Wanderer

The Ascendants were unlucky if Rowan did not have the Eye they would have succeeded, and now freezing time was no longer an option against Rowan.

His Ouroboros Serpents, with their new cunning, had waited for the right moment to strike. Acting as if they were under the time-stop ability, the serpent had resisted its hunger long enough for one of its prey to come close enough before it struck.

For its patience, it was rewarded with a surge of Aura that dwarfed everything it had collected from the entire continent of New Hope, ten times over. The purple cube at the ends of their tail began to swell as a massive wave of blue Aura of Ascendency filled it to the brim.

There were two prime sources of energy in this world, Ascendant and Malefic. When someone earns the qualification to become an Explorer they are granted two options, follow the Ascendant path or the Malefic path.

Explorers that followed the Ascendant path became beings of pure Aura, and those that followed the Makefic path developed bodies that could effortlessly crush stars. Despite the path they followed their overall Aura would still be nourished by any source of purified Aura, whether it came from a malefic or an ascendant source.

There was a slight moment of destabilization within the cube as the energy inside it grew a bit unbalanced due to the influx of a large amount of a single type of Aura, but its state had already transformed twice, to its almost solid form instead of the gaseous nature of Aura and it was easily able to suppress the Ascendant Aura and make it part of itself with no issue. Of course, the serpents did not know about these changes in the cube, they only understood that it was growing, causing the light it shed on their bodies to deepen, and in this manner they could place more of their essence into this stone avatars, slowly transforming it into the real flesh of the Primordial Ouroboros Serpent.

This world might have imposed a leash on Rowan’s bloodline and power, but it was impossible to hold back something so powerful. It was only a matter of time before his

bloodline would rebel against the restraints and although the bloodline of Sheol and the Tree of Desire had been out of the game for a while, the increasing purple light was slowly beginning to make them stir from their slumber.

The carefully created cage created by the world was about to be shattered.

Noah Rithmast could hardly comprehend what was happening in the outside world, but focusing on the battle inside him, he could easily follow its tracks.

When the serpents in his body attacked the engorged cells filled with pus, he had been glad, hoping that these two would weaken themselves enough for the third party, the Ascendants, to swoop in and finish the job.

At first, this was what happened, the fog-like Aura in his body had begun to encircle the two battling parties, and unexpectedly everything changed as the serpents turned around and struck at the fog.

Noah Rithmast’s body was frozen unless he would be screaming in pain as a part of his body that had been corrupted by the Ascendant’s energy vanished.

Also, something odd happened, perhaps it was the corruption of the Ouroboros serpent bloodline, but he could also resist the influence of Time Stop, and with the unique insight he could gain from the battle inside his body, he saw that the serpents had begun to encircle the area of fog in his body, and in a few moments they would fall like the first one did.

He panicked after all the sacrifices made by the Explorers to reach this point, it could not just end in this manner. More than two million Explorers had died above, except for him, fifteen hundred Deific Ranked Explorers had perished to open the road for the Ascendants, and now it was all about to be rendered moot.

Noah felt an intense urge of helplessness, he could see the trap coming but how could a tiny Explorer like him make a difference in a world of Ascendants? Yet he could not lie down and disregard what was about to happen because time for him seemed to be frozen but he could still experience it.

The three portions of his body were experiencing time in different manners. For the area filled with pus, time stood still, for the snakes, time was only a road, and the fog oversaw time.

His body that should have long perished had been kept far past his natural state and Noah had benefited from this madness, he was now something… different. If something changed this delicate balance inside of him would be broken leading to his immediate demise, but for the moment he was enjoying a privilege that few in creation had ever had the chance to get, if at all.

He had an eternity to comprehend his helplessness, and another eternity to rage against it. He had an eternity to run mad and another to become sane.

Finally with no option but to struggle on in the unexpected hell he found himself in, Noah began to think that perhaps he could make a difference, it was the only thing he had not tried doing after all these eternities had passed.

Looking at the tools he had on hand, all were useless, his Natal Treasures would not even stir the edge of the cloak of an Ascendant, but finally, his gaze settled on his body, especially his arms and what it contained-Null Charges.

With the death of every Deific Ranked Explorer, he became the only one that remained, and therefore the storage Treasure containing the Null Charges was all sent to him.

If he had died the Null Charges would return to the Ascendants but he was kept alive in a bizarre form, and everything remained with him.

There were more than a million Null charges in these storage treasures and for a moment Noah was helpless. Even with these Null Charges, it was still quite useless to him, what could The change with it?

Now knew he had already decided to change something, and if there was anything he did not lack in this present moment it was time. Noah spent an eternity learning, and then another eternity. He went mad many times, making vast leaps in logic that were mostly nonsense but some worked, and his understanding of Null Charges which was virtually nonexistent began

to grow.

He did not hope to understand everything about how this treasure worked, he had only one goal. ‘How can I make it explode.’

With a limited understanding of how Null Charges worked, Noah believed they just negated all forms of energy, and that was true to an extent, but what they contained was something far more potent than Noah could ever hope to understand as a Deific Ranked Explorer, but he did not care, two million Null Charges going up at once was bound to change something.

Whether by luck or the fact that Noah had spent two eternities banging his head against a single problem-Make Null Charges go boom! He succeeded.

Noah wished he could laugh, but he also wished he could die, and he thought perhaps since he could not have one, he should not be annoyed that he could not get the other.

He triggered the explosion, and the moment the three Ouroboros Serpents charged out from the Earth, everything flashed red, even in the visible spectrum, from afar it appeared as if a red sun had appeared on the ground, and this sight could be seen for millions of miles, witnessed by a hundred continent, but this was just the beginning.

The Null Charges were not simple devices, for they were connected with a force even the Ascendants could barely understand, Entropy.
