Chapter 1267: Nine Books
Chapter 1267: Nine Books
Upon rebuking the Eye of Time, Rowan stretched his hands forward and gestured,
"My throne had been laid on this world eight times before time was present in eight pasts that never was and eight futures that would never be. With the weight of age, Little Eye, do you not see that you have lost?"
The gesture that Rowan had made caused reality to flip on its head, and the heavens became the earth and the earth became the heavens.
A weird buzz like the sound of a supernova being crushed in an instant responded all through the realm, and every living being here, from the Golden Giants, Calamity Gods, and even the massive structure that the Eye of Time had become, was dragged into mid-air where a weird force held them bound, and they were all unable to move.
Due to the fact that Doom Star was a world of water, the black and endless ocean became the new face of heaven, and the countless eyes of the realm became the earth, although this scene should have been incredibly bizarre, it still felt so natural, it was as if this was what it should have always been.
The black ocean above should have cast this word in darkness, and yet the reverse became the case, the darkness became lit up as countless stars were born within it, their light
transforming the endless black ocean to one that was blue and finally revealing what was in the depths of the ocean.
It was a sight that those below the fifth-dimensional level could not discern, hence most of the beings here on Doom Star could not see what was happening overhead, the only thing they knew was that the endless black ocean was becoming filled with light from multiple suns. For those who could see, the horrifying center of the realm was finally revealed, displaying the grisly content that had been hidden at the core of the banished eternal realm.
It was of a female titanic being who was heavy with a child. She was massive, the size of multiple universes, and had multiple heads, but they had all been sliced off. There were six stumps on her shoulders, which meant she once had six heads, and her body was also filled with injury with another equally devastating wound on her stomach.
This female titan was pregnant, and in an act of incredible cruelty, her stomach was sliced open, and the child within had his head cut off and his body filled with wounds as if he had been mauled.
It was from these countless wounds on the body of the child that light erupted, it was as if the body of the child was filled with nothing but light, and from that light had Caamity been born since time immemorial, but the act of Rowan flipping reality on its head had placed a temporary stop to the birth of all Calamities.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The shocking sight of this fetus the size of a universe spewing out so much light that it transformed the endless ocean was incredibly enchanting, and the Eye of Time could not help but mutter to itself, yet its words were clearly heard by Rowan,
"What is going on?!"
Rowan smiled, "Wouldn't you like to know, because I have a brief moment where nothing matters, I will tell you a truth that has been denied to all but the few. The name of the child is not Damocles... it is Thenos."
At the mention of that name, the child in the womb of the mother seemed to come to life. His body began to contort as if electricity was being pumped through his spine and the cry of a baby emerged from the corpse.
"Thenos, your Eternal throne was cast down, your mother killed by the pathetic acts of fear by creatures like it,"
Rowan pointed towards the Eye of Time,
"That is your enemy, it wears another form, but his lies should never be believed. They took the head of your mothers and made it into a bridge linking the lower realms to the higher one, and they learned to do this because they experimented on them. The cries of your mothers have fallen on the ears of creation from the moment of your birth,"
The more Rowan spoke, the greater the agitation of the headless baby, and the cries emerging from it was no longer a normal cry, but one that was slowly becoming filled with rage.
"He lies Damocles, or if you prefer I shall call you Thenos, but that is not your name," the Eye of Time was quick to the uptake, "That abomination is a freak of nature, whose soul is incomplete, and his hunger is boundless, I should know because it was I that created this monster, yet he has pursued me across time and space, wishing to end my existence. There is nothing you can gain from listening to a creature like him, he only seeks to consume. Listen to me, and purge his essence from your realm like the filth that he is, and I shall leave your realm in peace, in fact, I can even go further and merge parts of your broken consciousness together, finally giving you a reprieve from your endless torture. This is something that only I can give you."
The cries of the child were no longer filled with rage, and his contortions began to reduce as if it was deep in thoughts, and for a moment the Eye of Time thought that it had been able to sway the fickle mind of this powerful realm to its side, but then the cries of the child unexpectedly exploded in intensity, and the Eye was a bit confused as to this reaction that is until it saw what was in the hand of Rowan, and it was a book.
Rowan at this time had not fully emerged from the crack in reality, his body was still pushing through the darkness, and if not for spending nearly a billion years inside the nothingness where his body would have adapted to traversing that place outside space and time, he would have been lost a long time ago.
Even the Eye of Time could not stop Rowan from pushing through the darkness and entering the realm because of the tools it had available to him, his Silver Horde would simply be destroyed if they entered into it, and at that time there would be no hope for resurrection.
The only one who would be able to stop Rowan was the consciousness of the realm, whose authority over this space was absolute, and if before this authority was flitting and not reliable, Rowan's actions of flipping the heavens and the earth had created a situation where this dead realm finally gained a measure of sapience that had been denied from it for so long, and the Eye of Time understood the full ramifications of what that would mean.
To destroy an Eternal Realm requires the personal actions of the Primordials, because their powers could not be fully understood, and it was certainly not something that the fragment that the Eye of Time had become could understand.
The book that Rowan brought out was not familiar to the Eye of Time, but his instincts were screaming at him that it contained great danger, and if the reaction of the realm was any indication, this book must possess great significance.
Nearly cursing in anger, the Eye of Time, noticed Rowan began bringing out more books until there were nine of them floating around him.
