The Primordial Record-Chapter 701 Death Count

As Rowan grew more powerful, the tactics he used evolved and the way he perceived reality also changed. He would not be able to understand the reason why his father made certain decisions if he still looked at the world through the lens of a god or a Dominator.

Rowan had traveled to Trion, not only through space but also through time as well. Before he gained his Will, no matter how smart he was or how much he planned, he could never imagine such feats were even possible.

It was the reason he instinctively understood that Trion was bait. The last page of his Primordial Record that was placed in the capital was also bait.

To achieve his goals, force was sometimes the last thing he needed. He had quietly retrieved the page of his Primordial Record with none the wiser inside the Underverse, but he knew it would not be as simple for the retrieval of the last page here on Trion.

He was not a betting man, but he would wager that this page would be kept in a place that was most certainly a death zone or it would be for trapping him.

What sort of trap would be able to affect him in the material universe? It was simple, it would be a trap that would take him outside the universe.

Rowan had experienced something like this before when he summoned the Lost Flames and was dragged outside the universe in the creation of his Spirit Matrix. His father would not be able to truly battle him inside the universe, the only place to do so would be by taking the fight outside where Rowan's advantages would be limited.

If his father could find a way to enter and exist inside this universe, then he could surely find a way to be able to go outside of it, and even more, drag someone else outside with him.

"I must know when to make my move with a gentle hand and with a strong one. I just became a true player, and any mistakes made now could be fatal and hard to recover from. I need to learn how the game is played. I need to win."

His thoughts had been wandering while he was deliberating on the best path to upgrade Circe with, and he returned it to this task.

If he wanted, he could make Circe an Angel, it just required him to simply fuse her soul with that of an Archangel, and she would have powers that would rival even a Major god, but that would be a waste. Circe was a unique Dominator and she had begun a process of fusing with the Lightning Kirin and was slowly transitioning from a Child of Trion to something different.

It was also in line with the fragments of a plan brewing inside his mind, and if he wanted to succeed with this scheme, Circe must remain a Dominator, while the Lightning Kirin offered a new path that had promise, Rowan would have to tweak this merger, so instead of Circe transforming into a creature similar to a Lightning Kirin, it would instead be the Kirin that would be merging with Circe. freewebno(v)el

This sounded similar but there was a profound difference. In the first instance, Circe would become a Lightning Kirin, and in the second instance, the Lightning Kirin would become part of Circe's power base. The first path would mean that Circe would lose her powers over frost and the wind leaving only her control of lightning, and the second path would mean that her lightning attainment would be her strongest.

It was clear which one Rowan would pick, and this also came with the advantage that Circe would remain a Dominator—A child of Trion, of which Rowan was no longer one. He had given up the name Kuranes and could no longer effortlessly merge with the system his father had created here; he would need someone else to be his host.

The Lightning Kirin was a unique child of the universe, born in special zones with intense lightning attribute Aether, they were some of the most powerful creatures inside the universe, and the most powerful of them could be as strong as a High god.

One of their most powerful and sought-after traits was their nine-life attribute.

A Lightning Kirin would have to be killed nine times before they could truly die. This made killing any of them very problematic because they would usually resurrect at random locations or if they chose to, they could resurrect at their Cove.

Except for outcasts that were cast out from their tribe, Lightning Kirins usually lived together, and a single cove could hold more than a thousand Lightning Kirin at one time.

No one wanted to make an enemy of these creatures, for if you killed any one of them, then the news would surely return to the cove and the wrath of a thousand Lightning Kirins would descend on that individual, a fate that even the gods feared.

Also, there was another more terrifying aspect to the resurrection of a Lightning Kirin, for any time they died and were resurrected, their talents and their powers increased. Depending on the individual talents of the Lightning Kirin, this increase could be either geometric or exponential!

Rowan frowned in suspicion, Archimedes had been killed eight times by the Gods of Trion, and if that was the case, then the Lightning Kirin should be far more powerful than she was now. What was the reason she still remained so weak? freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

"Summon the lightning Kirin to your side, I need to check the state of her body. Archimedes might have unknown secrets that she might not even be aware of."

Circe paused, "is there anything wrong with my friend?"

Rowan considered these words from Circe deeply before he replied, "That is what I would like to find out. Do you know about the specialties of her race where anytime they die their talent and power would rise?" Rowan asked.

Circe eyes widened in shock, she did not know that was even possible or her companion was capable of feats like those, and soon she also frowned in thought for she was aware that Archimedes was in her last life.

She knew that the first time Archimedes was killed she was an Earth god, and after she died for the eighth time, she was still an Earth god, something was wrong.

Summoning the irritated Lightning Kirin who was grooming herself, she quickly asked her, "Archie how many times have you truly died?"
