Chapter 595: The Tesseract
595 The Tesseract
In a vast space covering more than eight hundred thousand miles, massive mounds of processed materials were spread out on an arcane pattern that was slowly throbbing, all of the patterns were colored with vivid phosphorescent light that seemed to be burned into space itself.
The color of this light was strange, and it could not be easily described as it was in a spectrum that could not be found in the material universe, and Rowan had to sacrifice countless planets' worth of resources to produce the fuel needed to keep these patterns alive, for this would be the bedrock for his Destroyer.
In a single glance Rowan's consciousness swept over the entirety of The Forge, and witnessing the progress of his subordinate he was satisfied, every single moment had not been wasted and the culmination of all that effort was before him.
Rowan had been able to collect the plans for a Universe Killer inside the Ancient Library due to Andar's presence in the Black Tower.
A Universe Killer was a weapon of war that was so powerful that even Supreme Worlds would find it difficult to produce one of them. Rowan did not know how many Supreme Worlds were in existence, but he knew that perhaps only top-level Supreme Worlds like the Magus World or powers associated with Primordials like the Celestials or Infernals would have a Universe Killer.
In the Golden Book he had collected that recounted the battle history between the Celestial and the Demonic that had led to the destruction of the universe he had come across a blueprint for an Ancient Battle weapon of the Celestials, that was no longer being created because of unknown reasons.
This weapon was called, Apollyon — The Destroyer.
Due to the power of this weapon, its Aura was almost immortal like the Intent from a Primordial like Chaos, and it had infected this golden book that contained the records of that battle.
The information about its purpose and creation was like a virus that infected and laid claim to more than eighty percent of the information the Golden Book contained, and Rowan had been able to harvest that information successfully.
Doing this led to a gap in his defenses that a Cerulean god had taken advantage of, sparking the short war between Rowan and the gods. However all of these were in the past and a new journey was before Rowan now, and creating this great weapon was his priority for it would serve as his greatest weapon, as it had unique potential.
The Apollyon was a battle fortress that had the potential of battling against the forces of a Supreme World and it was one of the greatest weapons available to Major Powers outside the universe because even at its earlier levels it was capable of great feats and except for truly powerful beings like the Rulers of Supreme Worlds and Empyreans, it would be difficult for anyone else to bring such wholesale level of destruction that it was capable of and the unique abilities it possesses.
What Rowan needed during his battles was focused destruction using an insurmountable amount of force, this would be the greatest weapon against his father and the surest way he would take to bring Trion to its knees.
In addition to its already impressive array of weaponry. The Apollyon would be able to focus all the energy of its inhabitants to a certain level and fire a beam of well… pure destruction. This was the primary reason it was called The Destroyer because it was able to access one of the fundamental forces of reality itself and take apart anything it came across on a level that was beyond the physical and reached the spiritual, and in higher levels, there were claims that the Apollyon could destroy even the soul itself.
Rowan would previously have believed this claim, but now that he knew about Soul Origin, he wondered if he would be able to bring this weapon to a level where it would be able to destroy the Soul Origin of a creature because he felt that a weapon of this level would approach the might of a Primordial, and might perhaps be the only true method to kill a Primordial.
This was his greatest hope and also the reason he was pushing for such a super weapon, with his advancement in his Nascent Primordial Bloodline, he began to truly understand how difficult it would be to destroy a Primordial, he wanted the ability to focus his powers into a singular direction if he needed to do so, similar to starlight crown he gained while outside the universe.
Unknown to Rowan this was why the production of this particular Battle Fortress was discontinued by the Celestials, or they might have been forced to stop its production, it was due to the fact that theoretically, the power of Destruction that Apollyon was capable of producing could even hurt Primordials!
It did not matter if enhancing Apollyon to such a level were, by all means impossible, as long as there was a chance that such a weapon could be used to threaten Primordials in the slightest it was discontinued and banned, but such a weapon possessed Intent that was virtually immortal, and it had ended in the worst or perhaps the best hands—Rowan's.
There were various levels in the production of this weapon, and the first level of the Apollyon could be as massive as a Solar System, but in order to begin creating this first level then the Core of Apollyon needed to be developed.
To create the Core was both simple and complicated, involved the application of energy outside the normal three-dimensional forces available to most of the universe, which includes elements from the fourth Dimension—Time and the most important concept was the fifth Dimension which can be referred to as the Tesseract or Space-time Fabric entanglement.
Such higher-level knowledge became more understandable to him as he broke through to the Third Supreme Circle as a Nascent Primordial, and the very Dimensions began to bend to his will and understanding.
The changes within him were still confusing, even after eight months, but every day brought Rowan closer and closer to understanding the full reach of his powers, and when he did, he would be rising to the fourth Supreme Circle.
The best way for him to understand his new abilities was to create a powerful Universe Killer like the Apollyon, in this manner, working with Dimensional Energies would mature his understanding.
He was versatile with the fourth Dimension—Time, but the fifth was still a puzzle.
