Chapter 1835: The Secrets of The Beasts(2)
Rowan was fascinated by the Primordial Beasts. On the surface, they might resemble a race of tragic beings who got dealt a bad card, but the more he learned about the overall state of existence, the realization that the Primordial Beasts were far from normal reared its head.
When he was a mortal and learned that in the past, the Primordials had an enemy they could only defeat inside of Eosah’s Reality because they tricked them and sowed a seed of disunity among their numbers, ultimately leading to their defeat, Rowan had not truly understood the weight behind that claim, not until he reached his present level and saw the overwhelming domination that the Primordials had over all of existence.
Their Will, which was the Will of Elder was certainly strange. He recalled the description given to him by the Primordial Record:
The Primordial Beasts were not feared because of their power, but their potential. Their bodies were powerful enough to shatter all of creation, but their true strength lay in a collective Will titled the Will of Elder, which grows stronger with every living Primordial Beast in existence. You are the last living Primordial Beast, and this Will is dormant.
Combining the power of a Primordial Beast and an evolving dimension has resurrected this ancient Will, but there is something different about it. Something heretical.
Rowan knew of the power of this Will, but he had misunderstood its intent. Previously, he had thought that this Will needed him to consume more Primordial Beasts, and place their essence into his serpents; in this way, he would resurrect the Will of Elder and therefore gain a powerful weapon against the Primordials.
However, he had already gathered the power of three beasts, out of the suspected seven Primordial Beasts in existence, and while their strengths were certainly impressive, it still fell short of the Primordials, who could stack multiple Origin Forces inside their bodies.
Even if he succeeded in gathering all the Primordial Beasts into his bloodline, he inferred that the power he was going to get would simply be equal to those of the Primordials within Eosah’s Reality, and if the Will of Elder was the only weapon he had to work with, then it was impossible to determine who would win the fight.
Such powers were impressive, but in the larger scheme of things, they were meaningless. However, the truth could not be denied; the Primordial Beasts had been a source of great headache for the Primordials.
How could there have been a race of beings that were so powerful that they not only forced the Primordials to take them seriously, but they also had to deceive them in order to win?
Inside Limbo, there were hardly any ninth-dimensional entities, and from Rowan’s investigation, they had most likely been slaughtered by the Primordials, but the Primordial Beasts were diferent, because Rowan suspected that they had something that every other Primordials did not have, and that was that they were not children of Realities.
This was the only explanation that Rowan had for their ability to resist the fury of the Primordials. He had seen the Primordial Beast Bahamut, Ouroboros, and Divus. They were all impressive in their own right, but there was no suggestion that they had what it took to resist the powers of the Primordials.
The Will of Elder was powerful, but it was not enough. Rowan refused to believe that in the immensity of existence, there had not been other Primordial-level entities whose talents and strengths could not have rivalled his own or the Primordial Beasts.
Existence, which Rowan knew was the entirety of Limbo, was too vast. To a ninth-dimensional being like the Primordials, Limbo represented true infinity, and inside an infinite realm, the possibilities for greatness were infinite.
It was highly improbable that in sixty-five million Cosmic Eras there had never been an individual or a group as powerful as Rowan and the Primordial Beasts. This was highly unlikely, and the only reason such a thing would have never happened was that it was actively being prevented from happening.
Someone or something had leashed all of existence from the beginning of time, and up till this moment, the entirety of existence was following their Will.
Without the power of the Primordial Record and the many evolutions and ascensions that Rowan had undergone, he might not be able to piece together the secrets of the past, but he had been slowly gathering clues, and some of them had been obvious, while others were not.
Rowan was slowly realiing that all of existence, the many layers and the secrets that bound everything, the way everything worked were all tied up to a singe individual or perhaps it was not an individual but was closer to a force of nature or an arbitrary constant, although Rowan did not think this mattered much, because he knew the name of this entity, Enoch.
Like a poison that could not be detected, Rowan had come across the corruption of Enoch as a mortal when he began to integrate the powers of the Primordials into the base system of his abilities, in the form of the language of Enoch.
Without knowing the precise reason, Rowan had innately hated this power, even though at that time it represented one of the greatest tools he had in hand. The Word of Enoch could create anything he desired, and at that time, this power was the answer to many of his problems, because its promises were vast, and had virtually no limits, but Rowan’s instincts had pushed him away from this power, because he knew chains when he saw them, no matter how much it was hidden.
Perhaps the only reason he had been able to feel these chains was because he, unlike most of all lives in existence, was bound by these chains even before their birth.
There was a massive ladder that led to a single existence, and Enoch had perfected the process of bending all existence to his Will.
Realities were the birthplace of all life in existence; even Rowan had to be born from a Reality, as he could not just appear from nothing, and so if all life emerged from Realities, then it was highly possible that all life had to follow the rules that bound the Reality they emerged from.
All Realities had to follow the rule that bound them to their present state and restricted them from changing, called the Cosmic Record. Only by doing this would they be allowed access to the Cradle of Enoch, where they would be free from the corruption of Limbo.
However, Rowan had seen the true face of Enoch, and this being was the personification of Evil; the entirety of Limbo was filled with his essence, and yet that same monster was willing to give all Realities a home inside a so-called Cradle.
He created a problem and made a solution for that problem, but that solution was a trap, and that trap had bound countless lifeforms to Enoch’s ladder of deception from the beginning of time.
The Primordial Beasts were feared, not because of their power but their potential.
What was the secrets behind the Primordial Beast that made them resistant to the power of Enoch, and could it be that the Primordials hunted down the beasts and hid all knowledge of theor existence because like the Realities trapped by the rules of Enoch, they also wanted to be free of the chains that bound them?
