The Primordial Record

Chapter 1696: Realm-Butcher’s Onslaught

At this moment, Rowan now had a single Title and Aspect, and six hundred thousand years had gone by, leaving him with 3.4 million years to work with.

He wanted to rest his mind and body; these two changes were not simple transformations, but Rowan knew that time may seem plentiful, but it was hardly enough for him to complete his fusion and thoroughly master his new abilities before the final war began.

New and unexpected enemies had arrived on the board, the presence of Primordial Soul was a factor that was extremely dangerous to him, and she had the capability of destroying Rowan if he did not begin rapidly making changes to all of his plans.

Done with two fusions, Rowan picked his third, which would be fusing his Skills, Aspect Skills, and his Bloodline Skills.

This would be a massive fusion and was among the ones that Rowan was not sure if what would arise from it would be amazing or mediocre.

He had gathered a lot of skills over the the years, and if he was going to be fusing them with his bloodline skills which were ridiculously powerful, and Aspect skills, he expected a clash that could bring about brilliance or something not worth having, after all, these were simply skills, and were not deeply connected to him like his Aspects or his Titles, with the only factor that could change all of this being his bloodline skills.

Of the many skills he had acquired in life, the Primordial Record chose to keep only two, which were his Berserker Blood skill at the Apocalypse level and his Weapon Master skill that was at the Dominion level.

Weapon Master gave him absolute mastery over all forms of combat associated with weapons, and it perfectly merged with Rowan’s comprehension ability.

This skill was simple but effective, and using it alone, Rowan had slain countless Celestials, killed an Archon, and the Throne of a Primordial.

Then there was his Bloodline Skills, which included Ascension and Dimensional Flesh.

The utility of these two skills could not be overestimated, as for a long time, they had been Rowan’s heavy hitters, especially his Ascension Skill that he rarely used due to how tumultuous it was to operate.

With the powers of an Apex Omniversal Titan, coupled with being a Slaughter Revenant, he no longer needed this skill, but it could be the basis of a powerful talent when this fusion was completed.

The last portion of this fusion would be his Aspect Skills, which included the Lost Flame at Tier 5 with the powers of Innate Convergence and Divergence, and the Realm Blade at Tier 7.

Rowan had mastered his Aspect Skills to the maximum; therefore, there was hardly any indicator when he used them in battle or everyday life, as they had been perfectly merged with his actions.

As an instance, Realm Blade was a skill that could cut through space and time without leaving any marks in Reality. Rowan constantly pierces through space and time with every part of his body, and Realm Blade had always been merged with his actions, so instead of using brute force, space and time had easily parted at his gesture.

Rowan reviewed these six skills in total before he was satisfied that it was the right path to fuse them all into a single skill. There were, of course, countless skills he had mastered that were not listed among the six, but he knew all of these skills would become fuel for the ultimate skill about to be created here.

Rowan did not even have to order the Primordial Record as the Singularity seemed extremely eager to begin this fusion. It was almost as if the Primordial Record had no idea what this fusion result might be, and every creation it was making with the assistance of Rowan’s unique abilities was deeply enlightening to the Singularity.

This may not be far from the truth, because if Singularities fed on the Fate and Destinies of their hosts, then every powerful fusion that emerged from Rowan carried such a massive amount of Karma that it was not just feeding the Primordial Record, it was actively growing it.

This meant that not only was Rowan growing stronger from this fusion, but the Primordial Record was also growing stronger.

The fusion began, and Rowan closed his eyes to deeply immerse himself in the process. A brief spell passed, and his eyes flashed open in mild surprise when he noticed that the direction of this fusion would not be taking place inside his body, but directly in front of him.

A faint sound, like the rapid exhalation of breath, exuded from his body, and a vague sense of emptiness began to rise inside him.

In front of Rowan, six massive runes appeared; they all varied in complexity and color, but all of these runes were the six primary skills that had been deemed worthy by the Primordial Record to be recorded on its page.

Countless tiny lights were clustered around these six runes, which should be all the numerous skills that Rowan had acquired in life, from simple archery to a skill that could create worlds out of dust.

A subtle wave erupted from his body and the Primordial Record at the same time, and they gathered over the six massive runes in front of him, each of them as large as a star. This wave acted like a pressure press, as the countless skills hovering around the six runes were pushed deep inside them with great force.

However, this forceful collision of countless skills did not lead to an explosion or chaos because the force directing them was too profound for such a rough process. All the skills, no matter how numerous, found a spot to merge into, like countless tributaries returning to the sea.

Rowan gained enlightenment from watching this process, and he could feel the power of his soul growing alongside this ongoing process. Already, his dimensional soul was benefiting from being housed in his new body.

Previously, Rowan may have believed that his dimensional soul was nearly perfect and was a power that could hardly be matched, and he was partially correct, but in the face of this new fusion he had undertaken, even his dimensional soul became dependent on it.

Perhaps if he had been able to consume Primordial Soul, then he might have acquired Soul Origin and patched out any minor insufficiencies inside his dimensional soul.

However, his enemies were not lifeless mannequins; they also possessed wisdom and cunning, and in the dark, they were also scheming for the ultimate prize.

“But all schemes would fall in the face of power.”

The six runes flashed brightly, all the skills that Rowan had mastered had been integrated inside them, and then, without any delay, the runes began to drift closer as a deeper level of fusion began.

Waves of voices whose origins could be traced to the beginning of existence began to pour out of the runes, shocking Rowan’s mind and drawing him into a state of profound enlightenment and introspection.

His eyes closed, and he seemed to fall into a deep slumber. In front of him, the six runes were rapidly fusing into one.

A hundred thousand years later, Rowan’s eyes opened, prompted by the Primordial Record as a single name flashed in front of him.
