The Primordial Record

Chapter 1208: To The Beginning



The reason why Ascendant Sun Dilos had to shield all the Ascendants under his care was now plain to see. The sounds and the shockwaves that were erupting from each of the tentacles anytime a move was made by it was shocking, and despite how durable the space of this realm was, it was still shattered under the might of the Kraken.

The Kraken was a beast with nine tentacles, the last three being the most powerful, and Dilos was keeping it in check for now as he was able to use the first six to tear this region apart, he would only consider using the last three if he was running out of options because that would drain the vitality of the Ascendants too quickly for him to replace.

It was a foregone conclusion that such a move from the Kraken he had unleashed would utterly decimate the region, and what was left behind when the Time Blight was shattered was a landscape straight from the depths of hell.

The continents and the people that had been frozen inside the Time Blight, both mortal and Ascendants were torn to pieces smaller than atoms, with no chance for resurrection. Such was the power of the Kraken that thousands of continents perished every time a single one of its tentacles shattered a region where the Time Blight had previously held sway.

Blue and purple flames shot towards the sky and they burned the heavens even as the ocean was frozen and then shattered, even the Calamity gods below the earth were pressed deeper into the ground, such was the suppression that none of them made a sound. The might of an Ascendant Sun could not be challenged.

Ascendant Sun Dilos had managed to pierce through thousands of miles of the Time Blight region and he had not shown his true capabilities, only using the Mind formation to disperse the power over the area.

He did not care for the lives stuck inside the Time Blight, what was necessary was ridding their world of the rot that had infested it. If he succeeded in achieving this, he would have a greater chance of swaying the rest of the Ascendants to flock towards his banner, and in that moment he would push for a new order in the realm, one where he would be crowned as its king.

No doubt Trelmol knew of his ambitions, but how could he stop him? When he had decided to hide his head in the sand and ignore the problems of the outside world, he had given Dilos all the leverage he needed to unify the entirety of Ascendancy, but first, he needed to clear the realm of this infestation.

With supreme control over his powers, Ascendant Sun Dilos held back the urge to unleash all the powers of the Kraken and was taking it slow and steady. The area covered by the Time Blight covered millions of continents, and even if it took him a hundred thousand years to slowly root out the blight, that was only a blink of an eye.

Even with the Minds of millions of Ascendants powering the Memory of the Kraken, Ascendant Sun Dilos had to be constantly nurturing the intellects and bodies of the Ascendants with his limitless Aura so they could last for as long as possible.

It was a shame that Trelmol was not here to assist him, his Aura favored healing and growth and would have gone a long way to soothe the minds and bodies of these Ascendants, but Dilos was willing to bring out his vast wealth and ensure that this crusade proceeded smoothly, and by the time he was done, the Time Blight would be a thing of the past.

A subtle vibration inside the Time Blight drew his attention and before Dilos could figure out what caused the changes, an unnerving cry emerged from the depths of the Time Blight region that caused Ascendant Sun Dilos to almost laugh aloud, he might not recognize the sound as it was utterly alien, but he knew rage when he heard it, and no doubt his actions was beginning to bear fruit.

What happened next also instilled more confidence in him because, for the first time since the Time Blight had started, it began to shrink.

Such was the range the Time Blight covered that it took the Ascendant Sun a few moments to realize that the Time Blight was not shrinking, it was simply moving, but because it was moving away from him, he had erroneously thought it was shrinking.

"Do you think you can escape your end?" the voice of an Ascendant Sun that had not been heard on the lower realms for millions of years thundered over the land and ocean that had been decimated. The light from Dilos increased in intensity and he increased the tentacles from the Kraken from six to eight and he began pushing the Minds of the Ascendants harder. This was reflected in the enhanced movements of the Kraken and the destruction of the Time Blight accelerated.

A weird scene was revealed whereby countless continents drifting on the endless ocean were moving towards what would be considered East, and a massive Kraken whose size compared to the rest of the moving continents would make it seem like a grain of sand before a great island was pursuing, and in its wake was a field of destruction that left a scar in reality for tens of thousands of miles.

Like a massive beast that was being bled to death slowly by a circling predator, the Time Blight was slowly losing mass, but it did not stop its movements, it only moved even faster, its destination unknown.

It had been four months since Rowan entered the earth and massive changes had begun to sweep across the continent of Trion, although most of them could not be seen on the surface.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since this continent had been given to the Temple Matron Nyla to become her Grand Temple, there were no visible changes on it except for the millions of Temple Maidens who had flocked to its shores for solace but never returned.

At any other time, this would have been an alarming event, but now it was devastating due to the ongoing battle in the Time Blight where the Ascendant Sun Dilos needed the assistance of the Temple Maidens to help him soothe the minds of the Ascendants under his Mind

Formation.

After months of tearing into the Time Blight, Dilos who had been pushing the Mind Formation to its peak after discovering that the Time Blight might not be reacting to his presence after all and was chasing after something else.

Disregarding the annoyance he felt to know he was simply been taken as a minor nuisance, Dilos wanted to stop whatever goal the Time Blight was pushing towards but he did not want to reveal his hand entirely so he began to use all the nine tentacles of the Kraken to assault the

Time Blight.

No longer able to manage the Ascendants under his care whose spirits and souls were beginning to fray, he called on one of the most potent resources of war, the Temple Maidens to aid him in maintaining the sanity of his armies, and he became furious when he learned that a vast majority of them was sequestered on a continent away from the battle.

A request from him to the Grand Temple made them send one of the Temple Mothers to the

continent of Trion, to correct this mistake before the fury of the Ascendant Sun Dilos fell upon

it.

From the moment Rowan killed the Divine Ascendant and left the upper realms, seven years had passed.
