The Primordial Record

Each item was bringing forth a vast wave of power that was pushing against the stillness of this extremely durable space. Nothing here was normal, and the level of treasure was greater than Rowan had ever hoped to come across for the time being.

His excited eyes began roving from one treasure to the next, they were all shielded by a milky yellow light, but his perception could easily penetrate through it and touch them.

The creature chittered once more in that weird manner, as it waited for Rowan to make his selection, aware that he was going to be making decisions that would change his situation if he made a good choice, Rowan focused, his attention fixed on a single treasure and disregarding the rest for the time, he could not afford to be distracted.

They were arranged by their sizes, so from the smallest to the largest. The first resembled a brown tent the size of a planet, and as Rowan's Mental Energy touched it, the knowledge of the Treasure entered his mind.

Driftwood Rest: Dominion Level Treasure. Forged from the skin of an unknown fallen World Bearer and the bones of a Celestial Colossus, this tent can transform the Aspect of your Soul, granting the owner's soul a single Driftwood Mark every million years. A thousand Driftwood Mark would grant the owner the Driftwood Physique.

Driftwood Physique: Free and powerful. The Driftwood Physique cannot be harmed by any universal laws and possesses the ultimate speed inside a material universe.

Note: This Physique is a contender for the Supreme Law of Light.

Rowan was not too interested in this Driftwood Rest, although it possessed great powers, and it exposed some of the workings of the power of individuals outside the universe, however, the important thing that could have easily been missed was the last remark at the end that indicates that this physique was a Contender for the Supreme Law of Light.

The Supreme Law of Light was a position firmly occupied by the Celestials and Rowan suspected that there was a Primordial Entity behind the Celestials, and that means this physique ultimately would be limited to be nothing but a Contender for that supreme power.

The Driftwood physique's other powers may be satisfactory for most, but Rowan knew the root of his greatest enemy lies at the peak of all creation, any power he controlled must be at the level to have any chance of even fighting at all.

Any abilities this physique could give him could be perfectly replicated by his Chambers and his other bloodline abilities making it useless for him.

Yet, this Tent could be a great treasure for his subordinates and perhaps would be of great support to his Angels, but he would have to determine how much his essence was worth to this creature, and how many treasures he could purchase with what he had swallowed.

Rowan did not intend to collect any more of Chaos Power, a growing intuition in his mind was warming him that it was not just a matter of simply purging the power from his body when he was done, but if he collected to an extent, then something would be triggered and he would be taken.

He listened to this intuition of his, he would trade with the power he collected and not anymore.

His mind made up, he focused on the next treasure that resembled a Chess Board the size of Trypho, the Major World of the Cerulean Galaxy.

Chess King Gambit: Apocalypse Level Treasure. Summons a Desolation Level Battlefield that forces your opponents to obey the three different rules of the Chess King.

The Board would forcefully place the Dominions and powers of the Opponents as stakes and pieces on the Board, and the owner would choose the rules that the match would take.

If the forces of your opponents are greater than you, it forces the advantage to your side and equalizes the pieces on the Board.

The winner takes all.

With the Chess King Gambit, a child could challenge a god, and if they win, the entire powers and dominion of the god would be granted to the child.

Rowan's breath went still. This Treasure could be a game changer for him, he would be fighting the gods of Trion, and he could not hope to easily pick them off one by one, but most likely he would be battling them all at once.

This Treasure would force the entire battlefield to a single encounter between him and all their forces and would equalize the entire battlefield, no matter the number of opponents against him.

This Treasure was very tempting, but he ultimately let go of it in his mind, it would be invaluable in some circumstances, but for Rowan, it would not serve him well.

His power ultimately revolved around wearing down his opponents, if not with great strength then with numbers. His bloodlines made him perfect for large battles and elaborate maneuvers, if he stuck himself on one single field of battle, then he just let go of his greatest advantages and placed his fate on the roll of the dice that he was successful.

This weapon was also incredibly useful for him for it would serve a better hand, Eva's. Her tactical capabilities and the detailed manner in which she approached problems would make this weapon a terrible force in her hands. He was sure if she had this Board, then the entirety of the gods of the Cerulean Galaxy would be dead.

He did not even consider using this treasure against his father, for it was a great risk for little reward.

First, the Chess King Gambits grants the entirety of the powers of the loser to the winner.

This was great but his father was nothing but a Reflection, and whatever powers he could gain was insignificant in the large scheme of things. If this was against his main body that would be a different matter, but Rowan doubted this treasure would work against a being with powers similar to those of a Primordial.

He did not intend to fight with his backs against the wall like this treasure would force him to do but use all his abilities to their full potential.

Perhaps he could give this treasure to one of his subordinates like his Maid to challenge his fathers with, but that would be throwing away lambs to a wolf. None of them would be experienced enough to battle this ancient monster.

Chess King Gambit seemed to rely more on intelligence and there was a chance that luck was also involved, if that was the case, then this placed the treasure on a higher scale in his mind, but he moved on, there were five more for him to check.
