The Primordial Record

The yellow eyes of the God King appeared beside her, looking at her despair with what could be regarded as an intense and demented pleasure. Golgoth luxuriated in her grief.

Minerva was quiet for a long time as if she had not heard the voice of Golgoth, and she whispered, "Did you have to do it? Take my child away from me, Golgoth, when you could have easily imprisoned him."

The God King sneered, "What is that I see Minerva? Tears?... Your time on Trion has corrupted you, demon, perhaps allowing you to eat Minerva was a mistake, I should have known that you are not capable of containing a spawn of Elura without her corruption merging into your system. Remember everything you have gained from our cooperation, and play your role, or I shall find a new King to call forth demons for me."

Elura was silent, her webbed eyes seemed to be lost in memories, the voice of Golgoth suddenly grew a bit mellow, "He would not have bowed, like you, he was a king. Minerva, you are aware that our plans would not come to light if he wished to stand against us. You know this to be the truth. I rid you of an attachment you don't need. In time, you will thank me."

'That was for me to decide.' she thought and the eyes of Minerva flashed with a pale fire as she had finally made her decision and then began to laugh,

"You want demons don't you Golgoth? Then demons I shall bring, demons of such number that your slaves would buckle before their might. Even if you beg me, I shall call on my entire legions, the Pale Horde of Nyshrimar shall ride on your shores, the Behemoths of Absolom, The Gravediggers Children, the Arakshas from the Frozen Waste, the Blood Reavers… All of them shall come and more. I shall not cease until there is nothing left on Trion and this entire wretched universe."

Inside the wrathful heart of the goddess she did not stop speaking, 'I shall not stop until your head is on a pike, and your soul burns in the depths of the Abyss for eternity. You shall accompany my son in death. Why are you still alive? You shall burn to light his path in the coldest depths of the Abyss."

Golgoth waved his hand in dismissal, "That was always your mission demon, go do as I have willed. End this world, and let me be free of it. What you do with the rest of the universe is up to you."

For the past week, Rowan had not been idle. With six of his consciousness out of commission, he had to push all the load on a single consciousness and it was strenuous.

He was dealing with some of the most reality-shaping moments in his life, and his tools had been blunted, but it was worth it for him to finally see beyond the curtains, and understand the truths about Trion and the Reflections.

At this moment, the first thing he always checked was the progress toward the Third Dimension, and it was at an astonishing Ninety-eight percent, only two more percent until he was a Third Dimensional being and his might would be unleashed, his enemies had finally revealed their hand, and it would be up to him to flip the entire board.

His gambit against the God King had paid off, and at this moment, he was watching the God King eagerly watch the battle on the two continents against the mages and the demons. Above the bloody continent, an invisible Aura of Evil had been accumulating. Rowan was sure that this would be a primer for the supposed resurrection of a Primordial.

There were many reasons why Rowan felt that such a feat as resurrecting the true Primordial of Evil was almost impossible because, unlike the Reflections, he had seen the dead body of the Primordial pinned down by the weapons of other Primordials.

How were they going to resurrect what should be the greatest enemies of the Primordials without alerting them? How could they undo what multiple Primordials had done against their main body?

Even if there was a way to achieve such a thing, it must surely be difficult and intensely complicated. So complicated that it had taken the Reflections an unknown amount of time to reach this point, and they were no longer united.

Rowan had seen enough cracks in their plans, and he only needed to find all the players before he acted. He went through everything he had learned these last few days, looking for clues that he might miss.

The conversation between Minerva and Golgoth revealed the truth about her status, and the fate of the last of his siblings, for unlike the rest, she was given to the demon Minerva for consumption.

This was the way that Golgoth had secured the aid of a Supreme world like the Great Abyss. Minerva should be at least a Demon King, such figures were rulers of multiple sections of the Great Abyss and would be able to unleash a virtually unlimited amount of demons if they wanted, and they also commanded Demon Princes.

Her cries of wrath still resounded in the air over Trion as she vanished soon after. Rowan was not too interested in her status as a Demon King, but in something else she held—The last page of the Primordial Record.

It was not surprising that the last page was held by Minerva, because she had been in cahoots with the Third Prince, and Rowan was sure Golgoth was not aware of this alliance between the Demon and his greatest enemy.

While Golgoth believed Minerva worked for him alone, she was also working with the Third Prince. She was suddenly a focal point in this affair, one that Rowan regarded as important, so important that he would be dealing with her personally.

He finally understood that the cooperation of the demons was gotten by feeding his siblings to a demon, such a shocking deed no longer surprised him, but if that was the case then how did they secure the cooperation of the mages?

The wells of Trion ran deep, and the Covenant which was the gathering of Archmages and Demon Princes leading the war against Trion must be nothing but puppets in this battle. Rowan had once thought the Covenant was the true hand behind the curtains in this war, but that turned out to be untrue.

The official reason for the battle was that Trion was about to become a Supreme World, and so a Tribulation was set by the universe where two Supreme Worlds would suppress them for a while, and if they succeeded, they would ascend to become a Supreme World.

This was the official justification for this bloody war for the last million years that every Dominator was taught, and perhaps even the mages and demons who fought and died in this war thought the reason for their battle was to prevent another great power from rising.

However, the Covenant, this alliance of Demon Princes and the Archmages believed that the war was about securing Elura shards, which were pieces of his mother's essence that could be used to remake reality.

Rowan knew that they too were wrong. The true reason for all this was because of the plans of four insane Reflections of a dead Primordial.
