The Primordial Record - Chapter 2155 A Crazy Plan

Chapter 2155  A Crazy Plan

The loss of one hundred Incarnations was painful, but it was expected.

Luminious Silence was a tricky opponent. If he were using a physical body to confront the Incarnations, then he would have a tough battle on his hands.

The abilities of Luminious Silence were profound, but they could not be properly expressed against a being that had reached the fifth layer of Origin.

Any other Luminious would have seen a Primordial at the fifth layer of Origin as a challenge to their omnipotence and would have challenged him without holding back… but Luminious Silence was a different beast, and he would use his greatest advantage against the Incarnations to win.

He had discovered that without a firm control over the fifth layer of light, the Incarnation was burning out and could not match him in his present state, and he was determined to keep it that way.

If the Incarnations could bind his concept, forcing him to take a physical body, then they would get the chance to fight him in a relatively equal position; if not, even the core of their identity would fade away.

And yet the Incarnations must win this battle, because the deaths of the last hundred Incarnations were not normal, and like Prime, their core was buried under the power of Silence.

If Luminious Silence were not killed, then the one hundred Incarnations that had just perished would be locked in his dimension of silence, and they would not be able to return to Eos. Obviously, that would be devastating to his plans.

There were always risks to battle, and in this battle, the risks were many times greater, but that did not mean that the Incarnations were going to run or stop.

A new group was formed, but now, it was no longer a group of a hundred; they were in the thousands.

The last attack had been able to kill all one hundred Incarnations because there were not enough of them.

A thousand was the right amount, it did not mean they were safe, it would just give them enough buffer for then to be able to be able to respond.

This battle was being kept on the conceptual level by Luminious Silence, and he had to be dragged down from his throne, and the Incarnations, above all things, were fighters.

The first true blow was struck by Primordial Darkness. He understood that while Light sought to define, Darkness sought to embrace.

Borrowing the power of his thousand group, he unleashed his powers of darkness, borrowing the cage created by Primordial Light.

He did not try to cage Silence, which had proven to be quite useless; instead, he did something much crazier… to merge with it.

This merger was to be a fusion with Darkness and Silence in order to become something new and therefore break out Luminious Silence from his present state.

The Incarnations understood that while the conceptual state of Silence was a problem, it also gave them tools they would be able to use against him, and Primordial Darkness had not hesitated to be the first to make this move.

“We are the deepest secret,” Primordial Darkness whispered, transforming his core to a tendril of pure, unobserved mystery coiling around the Eternal Being. “Let me be your cloak. Let us become the ultimate unknown.”

It was a bold plan, crazy, but bold, and for a moment, it worked. Luminous Silence paused as his nature began to change.

Luminious Silence had never allowed himself to remain in such a conceptual state for a long amount of time, because nothing could threaten him to the extent that he took this form for long.

This new fusion threw him off, as he could almost feel a new path of growth that he was sure that no Luminious had ever taken before.

He recognized a kindred nature. But Primordial Darkness’s nature was to hide, and in hiding, Silence, it would claim ownership.

‘This… this is a parasitic unity!’ Luminious Silence screamed inside of himself as he sensed the deception, ‘Like their Creator, none of them are free from rot and the desire to look beyond their station. The gift of power given to you, how dare you turn it against your creators?’

Luminous Silence pulled himself away from that fusion and clarified himself.

He rejected the cloak, and in doing so, he defined Darkness not as an equal partner, but as a mere shadow cast by his own ineffable light.

Due to the fact that Primordial Darkness fused his core into a Luminious as powerful as Silence, this absolute rejection was devastating.

The rejection was absolute, and Primordial Darkness, the concept of Mystery itself, was rendered a mere footnote, a byproduct.

His form shattered into a billion fragments that became the first shadows, scattered and meaningless. However, unlike the first hundred that fell under Luminious Silence, the death of Primordial Darkness was total, and his shattered origin returned to Eos, but it was unknown if he would be able to piece it back together.

The loss of Primordial Darkness was painful, especially when he had already opened a path to the fifth layer of his Origin.

It had been decided among themselves that the only reveal of the fifth layer of Origin would be done by Primordial Light alone.

The fact that Eos’s Incarnation was able to reach the fifth layer of Origin in both space and light was terrifying. Twice could be acknowledged as the fact that he was a supreme genius rarely seen in Existences, but if Luminious Silence truly understood that at the moment, 635 Incarnations had seen the path to the fifth layer.

It was a shame that the first hundred Incarnations that fell had not touched the fifth layer of their Origin, or they would not be suppressed by Silence even in death.

Still, the loss of Primordial Death had shown the Incarnations that this method of fighting Luminious Silence was a dangerous game; they would need to take more risks and do something crazy.

Primordial Light realized their direct approach was futile, and a new decision was made among the Incarnations.

It was easy to forget that communication between the Incarnations was so quick that it was beyond instant.

Primordial Earth, Primordial Spiral, Primordial Shape, and Primordial Number were chosen as the foremost strategists among the Incarnations.

“Direct confrontation is conceptual suicide,” The Primordial Number intoned, his voice a cold, precise equation. “He resolves complexity with an ease that our consciousness cannot match. We must meet simplicity with complexity so vast, so self-contradictory, that his very nature is forced to engage it as a paradox, not a problem. Only in this manner can we break him out from his conceptual form.”

A plan was formed, one requiring terrible sacrifice.

Six hundred Primordials volunteered, those of duality, contradiction, and process, with Primordial Number anchoring himself at the center of a forming mandala.

Around him were Primordial Spiral and Primordial Shape, who began weaving a complex rune with their origin around Primordial Number.

Primordial Number would offer a concept of infinite, unrealized potential with no actuality, and Primordial Shape would then give it form by imposing a catastrophic loss upon it, creating a “thing” defined by what it could never be.

This was to be the creation of a Formation that would defy the ages…. A Formation for a group of Primordials to fight a Luminious.
