The Primordial Record-Chapter 824 Expanding His Reach

?The God of War was losing, badly, according to all mortal standards. Yet the battles between immortals were quite different from mortals. They used their greatest weapon during their battles which was time to maneuver their way through a conflict.

A battle between gods was not fought in hours, days, or weeks, their battle was fought across eons.

Rowan was a terrifying being in the sense that every Immortal battle he had fought had always been quite short. He had all the traits of a God-Killer, and he had never truly had any reason to fight a protracted battle, as he could reach the core of any god which was their soul, disregarding their bodies.

This was the greatest advantage of an Immortal Soul, which was the ability to create as many bodies as they wanted while keeping their core safe using nothing but Divine Energy.

The bodies they created were as powerful as the amount of Intent they had mastered, it was the reason why the avatar of a Major god that had mastered more than one Intent could easily crush a Minor god.

Tiberius has mastered tens of Intent, and the strength of his Avatar was more powerful than even a High god, but he was still being thrashed, not even able to harm a single hair of his opponent.

However, it did not matter if Telmus killed the body of Tiberius a thousand times, as long as the god had access to divine essence, he would be able to recreate his body as many times as he wanted.

This was the greatest distinction between a mortal and an immortal, they no longer had the limitations of the flesh.

Although for someone like Telmus, that distinction was blurry and was nearly non-existent to him because he could easily follow the direction of the gods' divine energy and track their God Spark and then he could direct his attacks towards it. He was a master of Space after all.

A god would usually hide their Divine Kingdoms in a hidden portion of space, against Telmus whose reach was nearly Omniscient, they could as well be waving a bright sign pointing to their Divine kingdom anytime they channeled power. He did not fear any god and like Rowan he was a God Killer.

Nevertheless, against the Gods of Trion, this ability to penetrate space would be useless, because their God Spark were protected by a sea of destruction. This potent energy would consume whatever attacks were thrown their way, and even if any could manage to go through, the Vaults that protected their God Spark were almost indestructible.

The Gods of Trion with these defenses were supposedly invincible, and Telmus was now experiencing what it meant for a mortal to battle a god. No matter how powerful or talented that mortal was to be, against the might of time, everything would fall apart, and even Telmus would tire and make a mistake.

If Telmus was aware of this fact, he did not show it, but Rowan could hear the rumble from the sea of destruction around the vault as the blows from Telmus crossed through space and shook the entire area.

The smell of blood inside the vault was very harsh, and Rowan shortly noticed that the boiling pool of blood was a second stream of Tiberius's Divine Essence which was separate from the one that was naturally produced inside his God Spark.

Like Boreas, Tiberius had chosen to sink the treasures he must have acquired using his Labyrinth Coins into this small pool of blood, and he must have acquired a lot of treasure from that place, because apart from Rowan's Sea of Aether, he had never come across such a dense amount of essence.

Whatever the God of War had done to this pool of blood had invigorated it to such an extent that it could only be kept in a place like this vault. A single drop of this essence in the universe would light up the radar of everyone powerful in the entire galaxy.

Yet unlike Rowan's Aether, this blood was filled with chaotic energies from billions of sources, it had no potent effect that should affect reality like those of Rowan, except for its corrosive properties and the vast amount of energy inside every single drop.

It was the reason that Telmus could never win this battle by exhausting Tiberius, it was virtually impossible, the God of War could battle until the universe came to an end and still have more than enough Essence to spare.

Creating an Avatar to battle Telmus was barely draining a fraction from a single drop of blood. Tiberius could fight forever.

In addition to this, although the body that Telmus fought was a High god, Rowan could detect from the fluctuations from the true God of War here that he was already a God King, and was not pushing all the efforts towards fighting Telmus, he was probably waiting for an opportunity.

This was the first true God King had seen, Golgoth took the title of God King but he was something else, Tiberius on the other hand was a true God King.

The God of War whispered, "How long can you keep this up, Telmus?"

His avatar on Trion roared his words accompanied by earthquakes and a shaking heaven. Rowan shook his head in astonishment, it seemed like Tiberius was something of a showman.

The God of War might pretend to have a brain made from muscle, but he was also a cunning opponent. If Telmus ever disregarded this fact and grew complacent, he would pay a terrible price.

Rowan had seen enough, now he just needed to prepare his attacks simultaneously across all the gods, for he had just reached the vaults of Horush, the god who controlled the Pathway of the Giant, and Bacchus, who controlled the Pathway of the Wanderer.

Now he just needed to reach the vault of Kuranes and Volgim, and he would have the rest of the gods in his palm, the preparation for Minerva was already underway.

?

Rowan had a surface understanding about the bloodline powers of the gods, but with his experience in consuming Boreas's soul, he knew their powers came from his siblings that had been butchered in the past by Golgoth.

Every god of Trion was just an amalgamation of powers ripped out from his siblings and merged to create these sentient abominations. This provided them with access to all the abilities of the bodies that were made from.

As a Nascent Primordial and a Second Order Dimensional being, Rowan was not wary of their powers, he only needed to be concerned about their weapons and the treasures they had accumulated. An unexpected treasure could cause complications because it could produce abilities that could not be predicted.

Just as he infiltrated the vault of Tiberius, his other two consciousnesses also entered the vaults of Horush and Bacchus. With his previous experience from infiltrating two vaults, these ones did not pose any challenge, and he entered inside them, taking the form of a nearly invisible shadow.

He spread his perception to cover the entire vault, aware that he must control and understand his surroundings in an instant to avoid complications.
