The Primordial Record

Chapter 566 Bargain Completed

“So many great treasures, even I’m hesitant on what to pick,” Rowan muttered to himself, a bit amused.

The importance of this moment was not lost on Rowan, anything here would benefit him greatly when he returned to the universe and these treasures also aided him in understanding the weapons his enemies might use against him, especially his father.

If he was not aware of the type of weapons that could be found outside the universe, then he would be left very shocked if a weapon like the World Of Silence was detonated inside his Mental Space.

The Entity noticed that Rowan was finished with his inspection and spoke, “Srrchhrrs…. Choose a single treasure and let us conclude… Strcchhrr… the bargain.” 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Rowan frowned, “That is hardly a bargain isn’t it, you are just stating your terms without ground for negotiation. I fear your terms are not acceptable. My essence is pure and powerful, the likes of which would be nearly impossible to be gained without great pains, I demand a higher price.”

“Srccrrcchs… I have given you a high price. Srrrchhhr… did I not reveal all my best treasures and tell you to pick one from them?… Ssrrcchh… my dealings are fair…sccrrcchh… every treasure here is worth the price, some more than others.”

Rowan shook his head, “I don’t want just one, redraw the terms for your bargain.”

“Srrcchh… then how many of my treasures do you want?”

“All of them.”

The creature’s entire body stilled as if in shock, before a godless cacophony erupted from it, that made Rowan cringe, the sound was as if someone was digging through his ears with rusted nails, it did not take long for him to realize that this creature was amused at his words and was laughing.

Rowan was silent, he knew his demands were over the top, this monster could seize this power from him if it wanted, but something was holding it back. It was not clearly stated, but Rowan easily drew that conclusion from the words of this creature.

If that was the case then Rowan had to bargain for all that he was worth, as he did not believe for one moment that this creature would agree to pay for what it might easily collect.

He could not even begin to understand the depths of this creature’s power, it reminded him of Labaletai, the Chaos Door, this was not someone he could fight at the time, so why was someone so powerful bargaining with him?

The laughter seemed to go on for an eternity, but it soon ended, “Srrcchh… your Shell is not enough for all my treasures. Srecchhh… I weary in my arguments with you. Srecchhh… take two of my treasures and give up your shell, or the bargain is over!”

“That is magnanimous of you,” Rowan retorted, his serpentine eyes focused, ready to make a move if he was mistaken, as he continued speaking, “If you are so generous, it would be a shame if I still stick to my previous offer. Let’s see… I shall be taking three of these treasures for my Essence, that is a good bargain.”

Rowan was tensed inside, if his gamble paid off, he would have won a major victory, something was very strange here.

Rowan’s speculation was right, not only was there something that was making this powerful creature bargain with him, but it also seemed it was under a time constraint, for it gave in after a short moment of consideration.

With a loud irritated chittering the monster agreed, “Srrcchhh…Pick your treasure and give me the Shell!”

Rowan smiled and extending massive telekinetic tentacles, he grabbed the three treasures that entered his eyes. Inside his Hollow Forge, he had been constructing a massive spatial storage using inspirations from the blueprints of the golden celestial book collected from the Ancient Library.

He placed the treasures inside this Spatial Storage and swiftly kept them away.

The creature’s massive body shook in anger and for a moment it seemed as if it wanted to go back on the deal, but Rowan lit up his crown and the creature settled, the greed that had drawn it to his side overtaking its anger at the bargain they had just made.

It hastily swallowed its remaining treasure and watched as Rowan kept the three he had chosen, and he smiled a bit at the anger emanating from the creature’s body.

Using his consciousness pillars, he began separating himself from his flesh, it was almost like taking a blade and slicing off the muscles from your body. It was certainly extremely painful, but there was no hesitation or regrets in his hearts.

Perhaps if he had not met a great power like this creature, he would have been tempted to hang onto this power, but if he could not win decisively against a being like this even with all this power, it meant it was not enough.

Certainly, with experience using this power, he might be able to even the playing field, but this creature was not the most powerful in this great darkness and he wanted more power than this, Rowan believed if he followed his growth plans he would soon exceed this creature far behind. .

Rowan began to bleed black blood that was so thick it resembled massive pythons wriggling on his body, his eyes that were hundreds of thousands of miles wide began to crack like glass.

His crown lit up so bright it was almost lighting up the entire universe. With a roar, he inhaled and his crown was snuffed out.

Rowan had drawn all that starlight into his body. His great body began to crack and splinter into pieces,

“Are you ready,” Rowan called out to the creature.

It chittered in excitement and opened its horrifying face in expectation.

Rowan smiled, “Don’t choke on it.”

From his chest, a stream of starlight that was red like blood erupted from his chest, millions of miles wide… it carried all the power Rowan had been swallowing since he entered the Great Darkness, and it swept everything away in front of him.

The creature roared in excitement and began to consume it.

It was unaware that Rowan eyes had slowly began to turn cold.
