With his great speed, it did not take long for the Dinsional Soul to reach deep into the Nothingness where he paused and analyzed his surroundings, the last ti he was here, he had used his angels to commit great slaughter for countless miles, and in the small area that he road he killed almost one percent of all the extradinsional beings there, not because he wanted their souls, but because the inhabitants of the Nothingness were extrely violent, and the only language they understood was force.
As far as anyone could tell, the Nothingness was infinite in scope, and not just the minor sort of infinities present inside Reality, but truly infinite in a way that only Primordials could comprehend, and as it was, Rowan did not have the power to travel at the speed of Primordials if he wanted to find out the truth, it would virtually be impossible.
If he were to turn around and look behind him, peering through space/ti, then he would see the entirety of reality, and from his position, it would look like a dot. It was in tis like this that made Rowan understand why immortals hated to venture outside reality, it made them all feel small.
Rowan could see himself traveling till the end of ti and he would barely cross a fraction of the distance that was required to see the truth, and if he could not do this with all the ti in his hand, then no immortal under Primordial should have been able to discover this secret.
The only way Rowan would be able to reach his target would be if he used an unconventional thod.
He had already experinted with this thod when he crossed through space/ti using only his mory dinsion, now he had to cross through the nothingness also using mory.
The space in the Nothingness was not the conventional space that could be found in reality, it could not be defined or had any visible vectors, and no lower dinsional immortal could survive here without specific bloodlines or abilities that could allow a mind to interpret nothing into sothing.
The act of traveling through the Nothingness was more an act of willpower and not simply pushing through space, in plain terms, Rowan Will was not strong enough to reach the location that he wanted, even the Will of an Old One would not be enough, he needed sothing stronger.
While inside the mories of Primordial Life, he had seen flashes of that place, the end of infinity itself, and Rowan was attempting to cross through the Nothingness using that flash of mory alone.
In any other scenario, this would certainly be impossible, just looking at a picture of a location was not enough to bring you to that location, but like his mories, those of Primordials were extrely complete.
The mory of a mortal was vague and blurry, most fading after a week, for an immortal, their mory was sharp and precise, able to recall details down to the minute level, however, for Rowan, his mory went beyond the surface of things, he was a dinsion, so he could perfectly recall all the smallest of interactions in the background.
From the precise vibrations of every single atom at every given mont in ti to the state of the souls of every living thing in the mory. Every second of his mory carried such a vast amount of information and complexity that if an immortal was bombarded with a single year of Rowan's mory, they would be lobotomized by all that information, their souls would collapse and their mories corrupted until they beca what were essentially fragnts of Rowan's will.
If he had the energy, he could perfectly replicate anything in his mories, his sixth dinsion of mory had just supercharged this ability, and this was just the beginning
The mories of Primordials were even more complete than Rowan's own, and this was because they had access to higher concepts that Rowan still had no access to yet at his present dinsional level.
However, Rowan's bloodlines were so powerful that he was able to access all of these concepts even if he could not understand them, and this was what he was counting on to bring him to a place that he had no right to reach.
This was vitally important because if he could confirm his speculations about Primordials, then Rowan would be able to make moves on a scale that would eclipse anything he had ever done before. He was about to bet his future on this glimpse he had seen inside a Primordial's mind, and before he did sothing so insane, he needed to ensure that he satisfied this need.
The dinsional soul allowed his consciousness to relax, almost as if he was entering a ditative state, he needed to prepare himself to dive into this mory of
Primordial Life, it would take everything from him.
As his soul relaxed he began touching traces of the past, where he had once been before, and left pieces of himself behind.
Sowhere in the Nothingness, he could feel the World Stele, it was still wrapped by the power of Astrolabe and it was being hurtled deeper into the Nothingness. With the amount of destruction he had wrought on this Singularity, it would take a long ti for it to heal, and then gain the power to break the hold of his Astrolabe that he surrounded it with, Rowan estimated that ti period to be nearly a million years. He had banished the World Stele when he was a fifth-dinsional immortal, and in just a year, he was already a sixth-dinsional immortal, in a million years, with what he was capable of, he would not just be banishing the World Stele anymore. Rowan had plans for this Singularity and its master Thenos.
His senses perated the Nothingness, and he easily located the broken dinsion where he had forged Wormtongue, Ganem Pri, the forgotten dinsion of the Spectral Titan and the place where he had killed all of the Primordial Keepers, and Rowan was sure that among the Old Ones released from the Great Desert after he broke it open, the Spectral Titan was one of them, her powers were closely related to the Great Desert and escaping it would be among her agenda, he was eager to find this Old One again.
She had a unique power that was related to Oblivion and Rowan doubted if he would find another Old One who could control this power as well as she could, he had harvested a lot of it to create Wormtongue, but he still needed more, and he would allow this Spectral Titan to recover and then he would co for them.
It did not matter where she would run to inside reality or outside of it, he already had too much of her, and he would be finding her when the ti ca for it. His senses also touched another location that he originally thought he would never return to, it once contained a race of spider-like beings who had been devouring a sprite, a petite creature with butterfly wings who had been related to the seed he once planted on the Frozen Road.
A fresh wave of pain filled his soul because this Sprite had been related to Maeve, he had practically created her to take the form of the little sprite in his mory as a child, and during the creation of Wormtongue, the Sprite had perished, it was a hidden price he paid for creating a Source level treasure.
Rowan now regretted this decision, he should not have sacrificed the life of this Sprite, he could have found another way to complete this treasure, with Maeve gone,
it was as if every trace of her life had been erased.
He did now the thod Elura had used in killing his friend, but she was an Old One, and during the battle on Doom Star, he had learned that powerful Old Ones could not just destroy the soul, they could also affect the Soul Origin as well.
This was because their power was so potent that it could reach beyond ti and space, beyond even the soul itself, and reach its origin. Rowan had many defenses against Old One, and so if he was attacked, it would take a lot of damage before any could touch his Soul Origin, but soone like Maeve would not have any of those
advantages.
Elura was extrely powerful, and even her simplest moves might have destroyed the Soul Origin of Maeve.
Fresh pain reminding him of his failure and loss made Rowan scattered mind to firm
with conviction, no more, he was no longer presenting himself as weak again, any of
his enemies who saw him, would understand what he was, his na shall shake all of
creation.
He seized the mory of Primordial Life as he growled,
"Co to !"
Screams as if erging from the bowels of hell erupted all around him, and the
Nothingness was shattered as several massive hands with long claws erged that grabbed him and they pulled.
They vanished as quickly as they arrived, and Rowan was there... The end of infinity.
