The Primordial Record

Chapter 1000  Awakening Of Madness (2)

 It shone like a glinting star until it reached a critical mass, as it could no longer compress the energy that had been accumulated inside of it, and then the purple light exploded.

The explosion was brief, spreading out for a few meters and pushing the twin energy back for a moment.

The exploding purple light contracted as an implosion occurred in the area where the fusion had occurred, which drew the scattered purple light into a dense core of purple plasma that acted as another attractive force to the twin energies, sucking them back into the core of the rocky egg.

The new purple energy in the form of plasma acted like a gigantic magnet that inhaled the red and blue energy seas and began to expand once more, but unlike before, the purple energy was denser and its expansion was not very rapid.

This expansion did not reduce the might of the suction force it emitted, instead, it increased in intensity, creating a large roaring sound as the twin seas were visibly reduced.

Yet again this energy reached its limits, and another explosion occurred that was so powerful it shattered the force of the implosion in the core of the plasma, and there was silence for a brief moment before an unexpectedly intense implosion occurred at the center of the clash that nearly shattered space inside the rocky egg.

The purple plasma that had shattered returned with great force and what emerged was a purple cube, smaller than three inches, but the suction force was a thousand times greater than the purple plasma.

The cube began to slowly expand as it drew a greater amount of red and blue energy that began to rival the suction of the six Ouroboros Serpents, and as it grew the suction force increased.

Even in an unconscious state, Rowan\'s instinct was evolving the unexpected energy he had created, bringing it to a higher ranking.

The stony shell of the egg was now stained with a purple hue that was slowly expanding to cover the entire shell, as the six holes that represented the opened maws of the Ouroboros Serpents expanded, dragging more of the seas of energy inside.

The seas roared in desperation, but nothing budged, the suction only increased, and its resolve was broken, and with a whimper, it allowed itself to be consumed.

Something peculiar was happening inside Rowan\'s body. The twin streams of energy were never meant to be merged, since they were conductors to the Wills of this world, and merging them created a new pathway that led to nothing.

There was no purple energy inside Doom Star, it was utterly alien to this space and never should have existed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If Rowan had chosen the blue energy, he would have connected to a portion of the higher dimensional energies of this world and slowly developed along the paths of power that was only applicable inside Doom Star, same with the red energy, but the greed and the rage inside the beast had created a new energy that although powerful was without a source.

This purple energy was chaotic, it lacked focus and purpose, and only a being like Rowan whose control over energy was ridiculous could harness it, and even continuously evolve its state to a higher variant.

The purple energy was growing, like a wildfire, but there was no root to it, after it finished consuming the energy from the red and blue seas, it would soon vanish. It was like lighting a flame at the bottom of the ocean, it could only exist if there was a constant stream of fuel feeding it, without more fuel it would go out. This energy was never meant to exist here, and before long this situation came to pass.

The massive seas of energy were consumed in their entirety and the beast was not satiated, it was filled with energy that lacked any sort of direction, and when it felt the slow dissipation of that energy without any new source of fuel to feed it, its madness increased.

The Ouroboros Serpents were fierce hoarders and vengeful creatures. Even the newly born Primordial Ouroboros had not forgotten their hatred of the Primordials, and in their diminished state, the thought of losing the warm energy inside their shell only served to increase their madness, even in the depths of their rage, they understood that a sourceless fire like this purple energy, needed fuel to burn, even if there was no root to it.

They also knew that the source of kindling to these new flames was life, and after killing every living being on the continent above, there was only a single source of life that could serve as both kindling and their vengeance.

They could not draw on this energy, but it did not matter, their madness had been unleashed and the only thing they understood was to feed this purple flame until it was bright enough to change the state of the entire rocky egg.

The purple glow from the cube and the constant explosion from the core as the energy evolved had made the rocky egg develop cracks, and with a force of madness, the Ouroboros Serpents began to push outward, increasing the cracks in the rocky egg, a close observer would notice something odd, there was something extra with the serpents and it was growing.

All this while the flesh below had begun to bulge upwards like a gigantic boil, the method Rowan had used in escaping its grasp was abnormal and unexpected, leading to large areas of damage as its flesh was torn to pieces as the body that it had assimilated was wrenched away from its grasp, causing it great pain.

There was a Will inside this flesh, but it was mostly dormant. Content to sleep for Eons in the depths of the earth as nourishment from the surface and the seas around slowly drift towards its ever-hungry embrace.

It was implacable in its dominance, and it did not matter the path of those above, everything that happened would lead all life to it below. It nurtured continents and seas, all for the prey to be fattened, and its call would lead them to its stomach, and its hunger was unceasing.

Rowan\'s escape was unexpected, but it was not enough to trigger any great changes inside the dormant Will who would only be awakened at the end of days when the time came to battle for the ruler of this Plane.

Its malleable flesh surged upwards to consume the prey that eluded its grasp, it knew that nothing could escape from it, and after indulging in the surprising amount of nourishment gained from consuming its prey for the first time, nothing would stop it in the quest to claim it once again.

The flesh, although malleable, was composed of dense matter and an inestimable amount of energy and essence, and reaching for the stone egg above, its movement was slow, but its momentum was unshakable, a few meters away from touching the massive egg above, something changed.
