Chapter 667: The God Forge
Rowan's mind returned back to the first time he came across the Covenant, the group of Archmage and Demons tasked to battle Trion, he had freshly possessed the Anima of Ohrox, the Demon Prince of Destruction, and he remembered the words said to him as kohron, the Demon Prince of Strife described the death of his host,
"How's this possible?" The Demon had said in clear amazement, "I can see you here with me, but it's still hard for me to believe it. Ohrox, I watched Tiberius render your Physical form to nothingness, and he took your bones to build his throne. Volgim crushed your Infernal Spark inside the God Forge, and Golgoth shattered your Origin Treasure. How can you still be alive? Apart from your castle, your Abyssal level had been seized millennia ago."
Rowan at that time had been dumbstruck at the severe amount of damage that had been done to the Demon Prince in order to kill him, but now he was aware that most of these methods used against a creature like a Demon Prince were useless, even a Minor god would be able to survive most of them.
Rendering the physical form to nothingness and using the bones of the Demon Price as ornaments to the throne of the God of War or even shattering the Origin Treasure of Ohrox was useless in the grand scheme of things.
The most important aspect that Rowan failed to acknowledge at that time due to his ignorance was the term-God Forge. Apparently, Volgim had crushed the Infernal Spark of the Demon Prince inside of it. This was a weapon that could shatter the protection of a Supreme World!
When Rowan had the power to kill gods, he had routinely been able to enter their Divine Kingdom and destroy their Divine Spark, and he did not find this process to be special, although it was certainly challenging the first time he did so with Dao Ma when he first attempted to fight against the divine, but before long his Angels soon had the power to kill multiple gods in a blink of an eye.
Confronting the Archmages today had now revealed to him that killing a god that was born inside a universe was different from killing an Archmage or a Demon Prince whose origins were from a Supreme World.
A Supreme World had exceeded the boundary of a Universe, and that meant that in a manner of speaking if a Minor or Major World had World Consciousness, then a Supreme World would have a World Will or even a higher form of Dimensional Power.
This would be the only method for a Supreme World to be able to exist outside the universe, which was a space where the infinity of time and space was just a small part of its overall mystery.
With every step he climbed, Rowan had to be constantly rethinking the truths he thought he understood before, and the many mysteries he had come across that were slowly coming to the light.
The Gods of Trion had a weapon, the God Forge, that was able to penetrate the barrier of a Supreme World and kill their targets, perhaps this was enough for them to be ranked as a threat amongst those supreme powers, and who was to say that the God Forge was the only weapon of that caliber they had amongst their number.
Volgim was not known to be the strongest amongst the Gods of Trion, and he already had such a great weapon, although he was not aware if a weapon of such power was unique to only this god, Rowan would rather bet on the odds that weapons such as these were available to all the gods of Trion.
Weapons that could sever the World Will of a Supreme World and kill its inhabitants.
Weapons that should be able to kill even him.
This would not be an easy conquest for him, for the threat of death was now a real possibility. If he was besieged by all seven gods of Trion wielding weapons of such great powers how would he counter them?
It was easy to forget that although his father was just a reflection, but still that reflection came from a being that was at least equal to a Primordial, even if he was just a shadow then he was a shadow that was cast by a colossus.
Why would he think that he could easily destroy the work of his hands?
This Reflection came from a being who once controlled the entirety of Time itself. Rowan had just begun to experiment with the concept of Will and knew how powerful it was, and although he was able to find a loophole where he could exist inside the universe even though he had Will, he should not think that his father was not capable of doing something similar.
He had existed inside this universe for countless years, who knew how many preparations he had laid down before now?
Trion would not be an easy egg to crack, but Rowan was not scared of what he would find there.
His greatest advantage was that he had been able to grow faster than his father might have anticipated, and as he once did before, he would be striking before his father understood that he now controlled Will, or it might just be too late, he doubted that his father would have anticipated that in about two decades, he would be able to control a power that took others billions of years to even comprehend.
Yet Rowan had to assume that his father now knew he controlled this power.
Anywhere his father might be, he might not have noticed the loss of the page of the Primordial Record or he deemed it as not important enough, but he might have noticed the loss of his Negative-Will inside Rowan.
Rowan had decided to call this slimy energy that was neither Intent nor Will that had been used by the Reflection of his father as Negative-Will. It was too powerful to be Intent and it was also too different from a Will.
Rowan sighed, he felt his faculties beginning to dim as the boost gained from possessing the flesh of the Berserker Clone expired, he already had a destination and a target, and it was very convenient for him that this target was already inside Trion.
"I am coming for you, Father."
With that last thought, he once again fell into a slumber, but this one was different from before, as he was slowly awakening. With his monumental perception at this point, he knew he would be fully awake when he reached Trion.
