The Primordial Record

Chapter 841 Hidden Vault

This space was vast and undoubtedly filled with many mysteries, but Rowan was not chasing after the mysteries of the mundane, only the extraordinary, and nothing was more extraordinary than the matters involving the Primordials.

Each of the caverns underneath the capital was so massive that one could comfortably fit in a small moon inside any of them. A similar spatial shrinking that twisted the entire capital also affected this area and hiding the Crystal Leviathan was not difficult.

Placing a piece of his consciousness inside a Spirit Guise he sent it out towards the Anchor. The Spirit Guise took the form of a bird with flaming wings, for there were living things down here, and their shapes had been transformed by the arcane energies inside these caverns.

His goal was simple, it was to find the final secret hidden under Aroth and make his way into the Rune, it was a gate and it led somewhere. If Rowan did not understand what it contained, it would be the biggest hidden crisis that could destabilize his entire plan.

He searched for thousands of miles, knowing the area but not pinpointing the exact location, but it was only a matter of time before he found it.

The Anchor turned out to be another Vault.

Rowan frowned because this vault was different from the others, it was smaller and it still pulsed with vitality. If his sibling had been fed to Minerva as payment, then there should be no seventh vault to speak of, then the sudden realization of who this vault belonged to hit him, and seeing the title of the vault on the door was the final confirmation.

The Vault of Romion.

He knew that these vaults were created from the bodies of his siblings, but he had never known that part of his body had been used to create a vault.

His present form had no connection to the body of Rowan that was used here in the creation of this vault, but it was still shocking that his flesh had been used for such a thing and he had not anticipated it after he knew that Minerva had consumed his siblings.

It was annoying to him that there were still concerns that could slip under his radar, but he was not omniscient, he just did the best that he could, knowing a single mistake could end him. If Rowan was psychopathic he might have found the challenge of the unknown to be thrilling, instead, he just found it annoying.

He only deliberated on it for a short while before focusing on the reason he was here which was entering the gate behind the Rune, although there was a fatal allure for him to enter this vault and see his previous self.

He wondered if he would find another hidden god that was based on his flesh. That would be shocking and reveal many new secrets, but after a while, Rowan thought it was too risky to enter the vault, it might reveal his presence to Golgoth, and he did not care for another hidden god unless it could affect the overall plan.

However, he found this hidden vault important enough to warrant splitting another sliver of consciousness to monitor it. When he began his ascension, he would pierce through the barriers of the vault to confirm if there was something inside that could affect the overall direction of the battle ahead.

It was a risky move, but he could not control everything. He just had to make sure he was doing his best. Nothing could be left to chance if he could control it. But to fly under the radar, he must make sacrifices, hopefully, it would not be too late.

Rowan remained here watching the vault in the body of the bird, and another Spirit Guise containing a sliver of his consciousness began the next step in his plans. This consciousness took the form of an Ice Baboon.

Rowan closed his eyes and focused on the massive Rune in his consciousness, he was not trying to hold it all in his mind at once, his present consciousness was too weak to accomplish such a feat, he was only tracing along the edges to find a suitable point of ingress.

The Ice Baboon began to move according to the model he was plotting in his head until it reached a section of the cavern that led to an underground river. He did not hesitate and he plunged into it, his body sinking to the bottom to find a cave.

He entered the cave where he discovered that it was curved in a manner that allowed an air pocket to remain in its backend, leaving a rather large area devoid of water. This place according to his models would require the least amount of energy to enter.

Rowan stretched his hands forward and then he paused, he was about to take a risk, from everything he had discovered about Golgoth, he manipulated the vaults and all its occupants easily enough, but this Rune was far too powerful and complex for him to control, so it was possible for Rowan to interfere with its operation without the God King being aware of it.

Or he might be mistaken. Was the risk enough for him to continue?

Rowan shook his head and brought the hands of the Ice Baboon forward until he stopped, he had seemingly hit an invisible wall, and Rowan rubbed his hand across the air, touching parts of the Rune that was here but was hidden inside reality.

This space could be destroyed, and this Rune would remain undamaged, it would remain hidden from anyone, even Rowan could not see it, only the knowledge that it existed led him here.

Since he was in contact with it, he could easily begin to explore part of its shape. Once again he was struck by its complexity and for the next hour, he just scrutinized what was beneath his palm in minute details.

"Time to take the leap." He muttered and he pushed energy through his fingers into the Rune, then something truly peculiar happened.

Rowan had access to countless forms of energy, not counting his personal Aether. The endless fields of energy that he was using to breed a new wave of gods should contain every known form of energy in existence, and when he pushed power into the Rune, he effortlessly circled through all the energy available for him to wield and none of them responded to him, except one foreign energy that emanated from the body of Circe.

Rowan's consciousness spurned furiously, searching for the connection and it was revealed to him. Circe had gone to the continents where the battle to decide the fate of Trion was being waged, she had done nothing special there except kill Rico.

Unknown to her and Rowan, she had absorbed a strange energy from his death that was similar to the energy the God King had been harvesting over the battlefield for the last week.

Rowan had been waiting to understand the purpose of the energy the God King had been collecting all these while, and now he knew that it was to power this Rune.

Underneath the hands of the Ice Baboon, the small energy that he harvested from Circe, returned to him and a message entered his head.
