Like a magnet dragging iron fillings around it, the Primordial Record held Rowan's consciousness and demanded his entire attention.
Rowan felt his consciousness convulse as if he were a mortal who had just touched a lightning bolt. This should not be far from the truth because his consciousness collapsed to dust, luckily he had six more and they surrounded the Primordial Record, containing its power and hearing the ssage it was passing across to him.
The Primordial Record had practically been screaming this to him. What this black book wanted was to make a deal with him.
He had an understanding that since the Singularity ca into existence, it had never wanted anything else, but now for the first ti in its existence, it desired sothing.
For a long while Rowan was silent, as he processed the information the Primordial Record had sent over. The risk of failure was profound, but if they succeeded, it would elevate both of them to a level that was unknown.
If they succeeded, it would beco the greatest showing of power from the beginning of ti to its end. Nothing would be able to top it. It was a testant to Rowan's fortitude that he was not foaming in the mouth when he understood the true scale of the offer from the Primordial Record.
Communication with the Primordial Record was still difficult, it existed at a level that was problematic for Rowan to conceptualize, and he imagined that whenever the Primordial Record was trying to speak with him, it was similar to a man talking to a tree.
Rowan was still able to get the aning of the ssage. Apparently, the Singularity was excited with his new form and potential as a Second Dinsional being. Rowan had beco close enough to its sort of existence.
It sought to make Rowan beco one of its pages. It would be discarding the final missing page, and rging Rowan with itself.
This concept seed so outlandish to Rowan, he had always been the one to rge treasures into his body and not the other way around. He was still battling with understanding this concept when the Primordial Record gave him a brief glimpse of what their union would beco.
He could not digest it properly, his seven consciousnesses not able to handle the load, but he understood the general idea of it all.
There were advantages to this rger and also disadvantages. The greatest advantage would be that Rowan would essentially beco the Primordial Record, able to access its abilities to a level that would be impossible for him.
He had not been able to access a greater part of the abilities of the Primordial Record, and there was a chance that he would never be able to, no matter how long he spent with it. The Primordial Record was a treasure that a single individual no matter how powerful would not be able to access all of it.
The abilities of the Primordial Record were so far-reaching that it obliterated all forms of power that Rowan had seen up to this mont. Rowan recalled the shocking mont when it took an entire tiline and folded it into one of its pages during the ti when Rowan had gone insane and destroyed the universe using his Eruption ability.
Essentially the Primordial Record had duplicated reality in such a manner that Rowan still did not understand. Did it create a new tiline? Or shifted Rowan to an identical parallel reality? Did it recreate an exact universe and clone everything inside it to fit the old one?
What were the limits to the abilities of the Singularity?
Another of its profound abilities was to access bloodlines of every type just because Rowan had witnessed it or even given him the opportunity of becoming a Dinsion by showing the path of a One-Dinsional Will.
Rowan suspected that the reason the Primordial Record was able to give him every bloodline he had ever evolved into was because it contained every single bloodline in all of creation. It did not need to search for the bloodlines that Rowan had co across because it was a Record of every bloodline across all-
ti
If he rged with the Primordial Record he could have access to every bloodline that had ever existed, perhaps he would be able to choose every Primordial Bloodline that had ever existed, even creating his own unique Primordial Bloodlines as he planned to do with his Ouroboros Bloodline.
He did not forget that with the power of the Primordial Record, his powers would never clash, but instead work together in harmony, to beco sothing greater than the sum of its parts.
He was already such a powerful Creator with three bloodlines, what would he beco if he could carry a dozen bloodlines or even one hundred bloodlines at the sa ti? What about a thousand unique bloodlines?
"Goddammit… Is it even possible for a single being to control such amounts of power? There must certainly be a drawback.
Rowan did not have to imagine how powerful he would beco. With all these bloodlines he would essentially be invincible. This was true invincibility, beyond what even a Primordial would enjoy. He would be a god to even Primordials.
This was essentially only using the Primordial Record as a bloodline farm, but if he had access to its other hidden features, it could transform the way he saw reality.
He forced himself to calm his consciousness and analyzed the drawbacks. There was none!
Rowan wished for that to be the case, but it was a lie.
Now for the disadvantages and he quickly understood that the greatest of it was that the Primordial Record would lose its invincibility, and if Rowan was killed the Primordial Record would cease to exist alongside him.
The greatest treasure to ever exist would vanish forever if he was killed when rged with it. Such a loss was too massive to even contemplate. With the Primordial Record, even an ant could fight to beco a Primordial, what else in all of ti could guarantee such a thing?
The Primordial Record was invincible and the only reason his father had been able to extract pages from it was through bending Rowan's mind and essentially using his hands to slice off pieces of the Primordial Record. Yet that did not lead to the destruction of the Primordial Record and his father had been unable to access it.
The second disadvantage of this process which was equally as challenging was that the last page of the Primordial Record that was left in Trion would finally be unclaid. Anyone who was holding that page would be able to control its power.
He did not know the powers that this single page would contain, nevertheless, it would be enough to change the tides of reality.
Rowan would not be able to hide the fact that the page of the Primordial Record was now separated from its whole because it would release so much energy it would not only be felt throughout this universe but in every universe in the Great Darkness.
It would be similar to birthing a sowhat lesser Singularity. Yet one that could be considered equally as powerful.
This would be like creating a newborn Primordial Record.
