The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1933

Chapter 1933: Remember My Name (3)

The Primordial of Victorious Genesis still did not claim a name because he knew he coud not yet defeat Rowan, and an ongoing joke among the Primordials was that he would remain nameless forever, but the concept he embodied was one where in the end, his genesis would emerge when he was victorious, and he told every Primordial that with his concept, it was only a matter of time until he reached his goals.

Rowan was counting on his victory because he did not know the full potential of the New Primordials, and like him, perhaps their only limit was those that were imposed on themselves, and a concept like this may not have much combat power in the present, but the possibility of growth was astonishing.

His peak would only be his beginning, and Rowan knew that such a concept could only apply to a Primordial like this. "But first," Rowan had told him, "Defeat the man from whose soul you were born, defeat Telmus, and then come to me for that battle."

This was the first of the Elythrii to reach the heights of Primordials, but it would not be the last.

The next Primordial to arise did not surprise Rowan, who had anticipated his rise even before those of Victorious Genesis and Endless Kindling, and this was Thenos, the Primordial of Hollow Victories.

With Thenos’s impressive talent and the help of his Singularity, he should have been the second Primordial to be born, but the karma he held with the path of the Ancient Primordials were great and purging himslef of them was a terrible sacrifice that nearly shattered his Singularity beyond repair, and in fact it did, and if not for the help of Eos who gathered every piece of it and reforged a new World Stele, Thenos would have perished on his ascent to the ninth dimension.

It was in this state, broken and defeated, that he seized the concept of Hollow Victories, and while he might never be as terrifying as Telmus or Victorious Genesis in battle, there was no terrifying assassin than him.

Previously, it was difficult for a Primordial to kill another Primordial, but that was using the Ancient Primordial system when the Primordials embodied the concepts of existence itself, which, in its basic state, sought balance above all else.

The New Primordials could easily kill the Ancient Primordials when they were on the same level, not because they were superior to the Ancient system, but because they had tools available to them that existence could not comprehend.

Before the Primordial of Hollow Victories were born, this concept had no avatar, and so against Ancient Primordials, they could easily be dealt with. This concept extended to the New Primordials; they could easily kill an Ancient Primordial, but they could not easily defeat themselves at the same baseline of power.

However, the concept of Hollow Victory that Thenos embodied could pierce trtough those defenses in a very sneaky manner that could hardly be perceived or defended against, and Rowan would bet that with enough time and preparation, given the right conditions, the Primordial of Hollow Victories could kill any of the New primordials, including Telmus, and he sometimes worried that the first Primordial Assassin to be born was Thenos.

The sixth primordial to be born shocked everyone except Rowan, who had long expected that she would be taking center stage soon, despite her quiet nature and her willingness to accommodate everyone and everything.
