The Primordial Record

Rowan had closely watched the interaction between the Eye of Time and the Titan of Pain, and he knew that they were not allies in any sense, their relationship was one of unwilling slave and a tyrannical master, and Rowan knew that the titan might have endured being a slave to the Eye of Time when he was unaware of what the Eye had done to him, but now, it would never willingly become a slave of this new Eye for all eternity.

Any higher-dimensional immortal was an extremely arrogant individual, it was impossible for them not to be because they had exceeded countless living beings to reach their position, each of them was heroes of their stories, and they would rather break than bend. Gothra’Inul would be no different.

Knowing all of this Rowan brandishes his destroyer, sending forth the ripples of his intent towards the struggling titan, what he promises is not salvation, but a chance to fade in relative honor. Rowan did not news slaves, he abhorred the thought of doing something like that, and he did not revel in torture, for a titan like Gothra’Inul who fed off of pain, torture was not something that was a punishment to him, although Rowan knew of other methods to make the titan extremely uncomfortable if he wanted such a thing.

The fact of the matter was that Rowan was far too focused on his goals to distract himself with minor annoyances, and the titan knew that of him because Gothra’Inul was simply a hindrance on his path and not his enemy.

Gothra’Inul should understand that the offer Rowan was presenting was death or a state that was extremely close to it, but for this proud titan, would it not choose a noble fall rather than an endless lifetime of slavery to the Eye of Time? And if there was any chance for freedom in the future, it would be with Rowan, because the titan believed that no matter how extreme Rowan’s potential was, he would never exceed a Primordial, and in the future, he would fall one way or another, holders of Singularities never last.

If Gothra’Inul was lucky perhaps the opportunity to rise would come from this imprisonment, his awakening at this time was in an extremely hostile environment, and he would rather that he restarted his journey. The titan could feel that the awakening of the Eye of Time had reached its zenith, and he finally made his decision.

The titan watched the waving chains in the blades, feeling the fatal attraction in the numerous pathways created inside his body by the previous Eye, and he allowed himself to be drawn to it, there was almost a sort of relief in his heart as his body was sucked into the blade.

There was pain in the process of being assimilated by the blade, but the pain was strange, it was almost as if it was happening to someone else and not to him. Odd, Gothra’Inul thought and then his mind went blank, and in the instant before it did, the titan sighed in relief, he would not have to endure eternity being aware of the passing of time, Rowan had spared him this torture.

Rowan internally breathed a sigh of relief as the body of Gothra’Inul entered his destroyer since the titan did not struggle during the assimilation, the process was much quicker, and at the end before the destroyer completely devoured the titan, Rowan pulled off one of his arms and threw it into his dimension, Hollow Well seized that arm and broke it down to its barest essence and pulled out every pathway created by the Eye of Time inside of the arm, and Rowan began to decipher it.

His understanding of the Eye of Time and its relation to the dimension of Time were nearly finished opening itself to him, and this arm was the final piece of the puzzle he needed to run every simulation he would need to complete this process.

Inside his dimension, millions of soul crystals were being spent in duplicating the arm of Gothra’Inul and subjecting it under various experiments with the pieces of the Eye of Time, as Rowan’s knowledge about the fourth dimension raced ahead on the wings of Eagles as he was using the best materials that one could ever need to understand the dimensions of time.

All of these actions happened just in time, and if he had failed to lure the titan any less quickly, then this experiment to finalize his approach to the fourth dimension would have been halted because the entire area surrounding the World Stele suddenly froze, alongside everyone here except Rowan, but he held himself still, pretending that this power affected him.

The Eye of Time had just woken up.

Rowan peered at this newly awakened Eye, and he unconsciously felt a chill in his spine, knowing how close he had nearly come to perishing.

If for any reason Time had seen him as a threat, he would be gone without any way to fight for his life, but he had already resolved that in this path he was taking, events like this were very likely to occur as he could no longer predict with any degree of certainty what sort of moves that his opponents had.

There was no assurance that at the end of this conflict, he would be the one to walk out on top.

The newly awakened Eye of Time took the shape of a massive purple cube the size of a universe and in the center of the cube was a pale yellow iris that looked around in curiosity and arrogance. Without exerting itself and breaking the careful balance within its body, the Eye of Time knew that it was invincible and that invincibility made it fearless, but Rowan would call it careless.

Like a newly crowned emperor inspecting its domain, the Eye of Time swept its perception through everything here, it touched Rowan, deeply scrutinized him, and found this immortal lacking, the only thing of interest to it was the sword in his hand that made the Eye of Time feel uncomfortable as if anytime it looked at it, a blade was being shoved down its throat, and it did not help that the look in the eye of Rowan was not one of fear and worship as it should have rightly been, but of curiosity.

Its interest in Rowan growing, the Eye of Time was about to proclaim his glory and for the foolish lesser being to bow down and worship it as its rightly master, but then its perception touched the rest of this space and Rowan was thrown out of its mind as it detected Primordial Essence!

"My moment is here!"

®

Rowan had felt the gaze of the Eye of Time sweep through his body, detecting at first the note of disinterest and then it quickly switched to annoyance, and every portion of Rowan’s dimension braced for what was to come, as he expected mortal combat to break out in the next moment.

Like a newborn snake that was not aware of the power of its venom, the Eye of Time may explode with unexpected bursts of power that could threaten Rowan in ways that he could not expect, but it was surprising to Rowan that despite the threat of the Eye of Time to his plans and wellbeing, he was even more relaxed.

The previous Eye of Time had been malevolent, twisted by its nature, and even if this new Eye was destined to become the same thing in the future, at this moment, it was simply arrogant, and Rowan could deal with arrogance far better than he could deal with extreme viciousness.

The challenge would be how to stop the Eye of Time without killing it. He did not think he would survive such a thing a second time.

It was the reason he was a bit shocked when the Eye of Time ignored him and launched itself at the mass of malevolence that was Thenos.

"Foul creature!" it shrieked, "Release the Essence to your new master, your kind desecrate its purity by your presence."

The World Stele that had been silent all this while, even through the destruction that had been wrought upon it by the descent of Time no longer held itself back and Rowan stumbled as the earth below him began to rearrange itself.

Rowan grinned, things were about to get interesting.

"Perhaps it is time I also bring out my big guns."
