The Primordial Record-Chapter 1137: His Mother’s Son

The boy shot towards the heavens and began his transformation. Unlike other golden giants that grew dozens of feet tall, his stature did not grow past the eleven-foot mark, gigantic by mortal standards but still relatively small. However, he was undoubtedly the most powerful Golden Giant, having unlocked five points in his star, and born with nine Natal Treasure.

Also, his transformation did not give him the suit of armor-like look of the golden giants, instead his own was organic, appearing like a well-sculpted man-made from gold, with thin armor covering parts of his body that seamlessly melded with his golden skin, even his long white hair had turned gold, and his eyes like Lost were black and empty.

The Lost Flames shivered when it saw the empty eyes, "So, you have been touched by death too. I told you, our crazy matches."

The boy huffed and stepped on the air pushing his speeds higher as he seemed to transform into a rising golden star, his brilliance blazed out of him with no sign that he was holding anything back,

"Yeah, I don't think you should be doing that. The plan was to..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The golden giant reached the threshold and he slammed his way through, the barrier holding him back for the barest of moments before it separated and he slipped through it.

"ALL YOU ASCENDANT SCUM! COME FOR ME!!!"

".... Enter silently and draw their attention so we can run."

The golden giant growled, "I am not running."

"Oh," Lost said, "Are you sure about that? I don't know about you, but that is a lot of bodies."

The golden giant laughed, "I have never felt so alive. I think this is the gift he said he would give me. He knows I never run."

"Kid, you can't survive this."

"Watch me."

The last six years for the Ascendants had been one of endless crises, and an astute observer would observe that it all began when that strange Ascendant had entered the threshold and butchered the Divine Ascendant in front of their eyes, but it was a shame that no Ascendant that was present on that day had their memories, Rowan could not have planned it better if he wanted to.

Then there was the spread of the Time Blight that drew their resources to combat, in which on a daily basis Ascendants were dying like flies to combat it, the advent of the so-called Redeemer who was deriving the Ascendants forces if one of their main supports in this war- The Temple Maidens, and unexpectedly two years ago, the entirety of the Dan went silent, and one of the Ascendant Suns charged with managing the flow of Dan to the entire hosts of Ascendants below their level, for a brief moment had to shoulder the entirety of the Dan, and his soul shattered to pieces.

The fact that Ascendants wishing to find the Dan or climb a step higher was now effectively halted, the death of an Ascendant Sun overshadowed all of those problems, and the hunt for the source of this Calamity was bitter, as the shroud of doom that had ever assailed this world reached a feverish height.

Rowan's Tree of Desire bloodline might seem to be among his weakest, but even he did not underestimate its power, if it could stand its ground beside his other two powerful bloodlines, then it was foolish to underestimate its strength.

With the small hint he got from his resurrection, he knew that a large part of it could be attributed to this bloodline, and it moved behind the scenes in many instances, smoothing the troubles he might have otherwise encountered.

Rowan could not even anticipate most of the troubles this bloodline had resolved for him in the background, and one of its latest aids to Rowan was to make him forget for a brief moment what existed outside his perception when he had just gained his bloodline of Time.

With Rowan's character, after escaping from the memories of the Primordial of Time, the first thing he would have done was to check his surroundings, but for some peculiar reason, he had decided to dwell inside the memories of the Primordial and analyze what had brought about the changes in Time.

For Rowan, that analysis was barely a second, and then he focused on the infinity bubble causing all the Will Chains to be focused on him. That single second his attention was not on the outside world was crucial because for that single second, the entirety of the Will Chain had no home to rest, and the closest entity they could find was the Third Ascendant Sun, whose soul constantly dwelled in this strange dimension, and watched over the Dan.

As powerful as he was, his soul was not related to Time, and so it was ripped to pieces in that instant, eliminating Rowan's greatest obstacle, because if the Ascendant Sun was still alive after Rowan opened his perception to reality, it could have easily taken control of him.

With outside threats bearing down on them, the remaining two Ascendant Suns could not risk pushing their souls into the infinity bubble and requested lower Ascendants to search through it, as they dealt with threats on the outside and waited for the right moment to strike.

Every higher-level continent had dispatched all their Ascendants to scour every inch of this land, this was a massive undertaking, but over millions of years, the power of the Ascendants had grown and when they unleashed their full might, it was something truly horrific. Before the golden giant was a small part of that army. One that comprises billions of ships, and an unknown amount of Explorers and Ascendant powers, all geared for war and carrying weapons of mass destruction.

His announcement of the challenge shot through the ranks. Billions of ships that had been heading in the direction of Rowan's city began to turn towards the voice.

"Are you sure about this battle?" Lost queried, "There are some truly powerful Aura I am sensing among their rank."

The Golden Giant grinned, "If your crazy matches my crazy, then you should know the answer to that question."

The flaming bracelet floated off the wrist of the giant and assumed the form of Lost as a seven years old boy,

"Ah, fuck it, we have already died before, nothing new here."

He took to the air and hovered behind the golden giant, "You shall be the spear and I your shield, fight to your heart's content, for unless I fall, nothing shall touch you."

The golden giant laughed, "I will only need your help at the beginning, but when it gets too much for you, then you should fall back, for my battle only begins when it starts to hurt!"

The back of the giant rippled and his Natal Treasure appeared. Nine massive golden serpents whose tails were connected to his spine. They rose and spread around his back like the feather of a peacock, before settling around him, and for a moment it was as if he had gained nine extra tentacles before the serpents unexpectedly transformed into blades, which connected to his spine made him take the shape of a spider.

"So you still got a bit of your mother inside you after all," Lost muttered.
