The Primordial Record

In a battle of this nature with combatants that could move at speeds closer to light and even exceed it, time was a malleable factor and in a single second, many actions could be taken.

Rowan had just cast the first part of his spell and its effects had enthralled everyone on the battlefield, his right hand was rising to cast the second part of his spell, but the shock of his arrival could not hold his enemies in place for long.

Golgoth hastily blasted the waves of abilities that had reached him from the armies of Rowan who at this time could not truly understand what was happening, not just them, except for several powerful demon princes, Archmages, and God King who had specialized surveillance spells or devices, ninety-nine percent of the combatants inside the dimension did not understand what was happening.

Recall that Rowan's dimension was half a billion light years in diameter and even when it split apart, most of his children could only see a fraction of this amazing phenomenon, due to the size of his dimension and the universe at large, the disturbance of the split and the chains did not truly affect them.

It was the difference between dropping a rock in a pool and an ocean. In a pool, one could easily notice the ripple that came from the stone from the edge of the pool, and in an ocean, one could not even notice a thousand boulders falling into it.

A mortal could barely see beyond his little town, a god could barely see outside his solar system and nearest groups of stars, a God King could barely see beyond the galaxy, and Rowan's dimension could fit millions of galaxies, it was not strange that most would not understand what was occurring, except for the lucky ones who were in a certain position to see the full extent of the dimension, thereby noticing the glint from a massive black chain, the mortals proceeded with their battle.

It was a good thing that the perception of most of his children could not see the full scale of his spell, or it was inevitable that most of them would go mad at the least, but only the slight fraction of his glory that was manifesting was enough to bolster their spine and inflame their hearts.

The true difference between the strong and the weak was revealed here, when the strong displayed their power, the weak would not even have the capability to understand it.

The flood of inconsequential spells washing over Golgoth shook him from his shock and horror at the power of Rowan's spell, and pooling his Will of Rending around his armor, he zoomed towards Third, and he seized his throat, "What is happening?! You told me we had everything under control."

The eyes of the Third Prince were hazy, his mouth opened in shock as he stared at the massive chains encircling the universe, but even while distracted, his body flowed around Golgoth's grasp and he looked at the distraught fake God King in annoyance, "This is not part of my plans, like you I'm also surprised, but let us watch, I don't care how quickly he can grow, there is no way he should be able to pull off something like this without negative consequences."

The two Demon Kings push their way through the golden rain and Minerva questions the Third Prince in dissatisfaction, "You, this is not what we bargained for, we are pulling back from this battle. However, we expect full payment for our services, seeing that a majority of the mortal life in this universe is no more."

"Ease your mind, Minerva, you cannot leave this battle even if you want to," the Third Prince chuckled, "You should know the character of the enemy we are facing, is this the right time for our forces to be divided? I don't need to tell you that he would hunt you to the depths of the Abyss if he is given the chance to grow stronger. Besides, as I told Golgoth, a spell like this would drain even an Eldritch being with control of high-tier dimensions, even feeding on the energy of ten universes would not be enough, we just need to find a slight chink in his armor, and this house of cards he is building, would crumble."

Golgoth gnashed his teeth in anger and frustration, but his mind began to whirl as he considered the ongoing spell from Rowan, "Do you think it's a mirage? Surely the breadth of this spell is impossible, it's almost equal to our…"

The Third Prince arched an eyebrow at the near slip of Golgoth, their plans could not be revealed to a third ear, he looked away in irritation, "Strike a chain and see for yourself."

Golgoth looked up and raised his sword, and then when he felt the sheer power imbued inside each link in the chain, he slowly dropped his hand, and the Third Prince snorted.

"Whatever he is doing, this boy is taking a great risk," The Third Prince grinned, "That means the chance for failure is truly high, any chance we have to shake his mindset would be valuable. Do what you do best, Golgoth, kill his people, starting with the creators of this domain!"

Golgoth sneered, "Beneath this accused domain, my Rend is diminished and my blade is damaged. That woman also possesses an unknown form of Will, they have seen our abilities and the wisest choice is to attack together Third, with the onset of this spell, even you cannot choose to stand behind."

The Third Prince smiled, "You will not be alone, the rest will follow you, and you can have this blade." He gave Golgoth his poisoned blade, "It should serve you well enough without me, I need to stay behind to counter any hidden plans he might put into play. For this task, I'm obviously the one who is most suited for it."

"DAWN!!!"

Rowan's voice shook creation and the Third Prince and the rest were shaken from their deliberation, even though their entire conversation took place in a fraction of a moment, Rowan's casting was still too quick for them to counter.

From below the black sea in Rowan's dimension massive booming sounds that unleashed shockwaves erupted from it as something terrible and extremely powerful began to arise.

The Third Prince went pale as he saw what was arising from the sea and understood the depths of Rowan's preparation, his plans for attacking Rowan's children were placed aside and he screamed at his allies, "Stop him from unleashing them!"

Eva's voice coincided with his cry, "No one reached the creator!" From her bow, she unleashed thousands of gleaming purple arrows towards the Will Holder, as the battle began to heat up to a feverish extent.

Dawn did not bring any chains, only light… golden light.

The golden light erupted from Rowan's raised hand carrying an inestimable amount of force that pushed against reality, and whatever force that erupted from him was so massive that reality quaked, bent, and then shattered and everything in the direction his hand pointed turned golden.

With a massive groan, the chains binding the universe and Rowan's dimension began to contract, pulling them to what Rowan perceived to be the left, which was dusk, painting the entire universe and his broken dimension with a red glow and giving space for the golden glow in the direction he perceived to be his right, to expand, taking over the vacated space.
