Chapter 1702: New Bloodline
With the connection he had with the Primordial Record, he could sense that it was extremely weak, but there was a great sense of excitement and accomplishment emanating from the black book; it was as if it had achieved something truly remarkable, and it could not wait for Rowan to see it.
Rowan smiled, a thought to tease the black book to emerge from his mind, but he stifled that urge, because he was equally curious to see what he had gained.
Despite the danger and the near-death situation, Rowan, even in death, had never stopped the fusion process. In fact, due to the hunger of Enoch, who sought to possess him, the fusion was accelerated.
His last act of not just consuming all the power of Enoch but also digging into the Primordial Record to consume the bulk of the remnants of this entity had gone into the elevation of this fusion.
Also, Rowan could sense the quiet power of whatever he had chewed and swallowed, and his instinct was screaming at him that he had just obtained a very ridiculous prize, but he tempered his expectations first, so he could see what could excite the Primordial Record.
Rowan read the first few lines, and he froze in place. If he were a mortal, he was sure his heart would surely stop after seeing what he had gained.
The first and significant change was that when all of his abilities still had fragments of lower-dimensional attached to their make-up, Enochian Cradle did not; it was a power that had reached the level of Concept and exceeded it.
Rowan doubted if he had the fuel to activate this ability; maybe he would only be able to make a single move before he collapsed, but that did not matter if he could still be gaining massive benefits from the additional factors that came with housing a power like this in his body.
He would be like a tree that had always been in the darkness, suddenly gaining the entire sun. Perhaps he would not be able to wield that sun effectively, but just by the light emitted from it, he would be able to flourish.
Rowan had no fear that he would not be able to master this power, because as he understood more about himself during his grueling ordeal a moment back, he also understood the entity that tried to seize his body.
As it turned out, Enoch could be seen as the First Reality, but somehow this title felt too small to encompass what he truly was. It was as if being the first Reality in existence was a small part of his nature, and the only reason Rowan could know this truth was due to his status as a Reality.
Enoch, Eosah, Eosโฆ. There was a thread that connected them all, but Enoch was still the First God, the First Titan, the First Demon, the First Celestialโฆ he was the first of everything, and Rowan knew why Enoch was coming for him, and it was because of his Origin Land.
Rowan was ignorant of his accomplishments most of the time, and he did not truly understand what it meant to create a new power equal to that of a Primordial or even exceeding them, but certain entities knew its significance.
Under the sky, there could only be one who stood above everything, and Rowan had just taken a portion of his light in the creation of his Origin Land.
Birds die because of food, and gods for treasure. His accomplishment had drawn the attention of a being that Rowan may not have come across in his entire life, even if he survived against the Primordials and killed them all, his clash with Enoch may have happened far in the future or not at all.
His Origin Land had placed him on a path of no return, but as it had brought him danger, benefit also came with it.
Rowan knew that without the luck from Serathis he would have instantly perished the moment he saw the eyes of Enoch, without the time bought for him by Chronomancer Prime inside his dead consciousness, Rowan would not be able to find his Destiny, and without the stretered and savagery of the Ouroboros, he would have flatered in the face of true madness.
His consciousness stung as the Primordial Record drew his attention once more, and Rowan obliged.
