Chapter 968 Beef with the Primal
Chapter 968 Beef with the Primal
Finding the Cosmos Queen Beast hadn't been easy. Michael wasted several days traveling around the Novix Galaxy using Cosmis Stride, only to catch and suppress a weak Cosmos Beast. Once suppressed, Michael could easily use Mind Watcher on the creation. He read its mind, acquiring all the needed information before considering killing the Cosmos Beast. Instead, Michael slightly altered Mind Watcher's usual utility. He couldn't alter memories but adjust how the beast thought.
Doing so helped Michael travel with the Cosmos Beast. The Cosmos Beast teleported to their nest, where the Cosmos Queen Beast was hibernating.
The nest of the Cosmos Beasts wasn't located in an ordinary place. It was in an isolated space that couldn't be entered easily. Michael could only enter it by clinging onto the Cosmos Beast before it teleported into the isolated space.
The isolated patch in the middle of nowhere didn't look any special, but it was a massive, hollow planet. Hundreds of thousands of Cosmos Beasts inhabited the hollow planet, transforming it into their nest.
[This is more than expected.] Hel said bluntly.
Even Michael was surprised. If the Supreme Human Alliance was in control of the Cosmos Queen Beast, which he named the strongest presence in the isolated space, they shouldn't have an issue dealing with the Altors Union in the Novix Galaxy.
'Why did they not attack the Altors Union with this many Cosmos Beasts? Not a single Cosmos Beast is a Lesser Lifeform. Even the youngest seem to be Higher Lifeforms. They're probably born as Higher Lifeforms and grow to the Peak of a Higher Lifeform as they reach maturity. The elderly are Divine Lifeforms and the Cosmos Queen Beast…she might be a Beast on the verge of attaining godhood…or am I missing something?'
[She is not even close to becoming a Beast God. Her Divinity Seed was damaged severely before she could shape it properly. The Supreme Human Alliance must have damaged her Divinity Seed to suppress her and ensure she will never attain godhood. The Supreme Human Alliance is probably not strong enough to contain a Beast God. But they seem strong enough to handle a Demi, a Beast halfway to the grand powers of a proper Divinity.]
Michael nodded slowly. The energy he sensed was similar to Selena's power level or how strong she had been before fusing several Soultrait Symbols to her. Selena was now stronger than the Cosmos Queen Beast but wasn't present. If she had been present, Michael would have had an easy time suppressing the Cosmos Queen Beast and taming her by force.
But that wasn't the case. The Nest Leader wasn't present, and Michael wasn't strong enough to deal with a Demi alone. 'Either you help me, Fenrir, or this will be a little bit more bloody than I'd like it to be.' Michael told the God Curses in a matter-of-fact tone.
The God Curses were silent momentarily, but Michael could sense that the siblings were talking among themselves. That rarely happened because they didn't see a reason to spend their precious energy isolating Michael from their chats within his mind. It felt weird to be excluded from something happening in his mind, but he accepted it. There was nothing he could do about it, either way.
[Are you going to kill the Primal?] Fenrir asked after a while.
'I need more information than that. In the first place, you guys never told me who or what the Primal are. I've asked you multiple times to tell me more about them, yet Jormungandr is the only one who told me that the Primal has been following him to seal you away. I guess they did the same to you, Fenrir, but that doesn't really explain anything to me.'
Fenrir growled but acknowledged the issue after a few moments.
[The Primal are the first existences to gain control of origin energy. They awakened their War Rune with the creation of the Origin Expanse. They were never Lords because the appearance of Lords didn't start until ten thousand years ago – or something like that. I don't know the exact number, to be precise, since I have been sealed away before the first Lords appeared. Either way, the Primal are few. They cannot procreate because their powers were born in the Origin. Their DNA is too much for anybody to handle. Some Primal tried to procreate with each other but their DNA clashes and obliterates one another, but that is a different topic.]
[Important for you is only the fact that the Primal don't like self-made Gods too much. While the Primal can be considered born Deities as the Origin Expanse gave birth to their Divinities, somewhat, the same cannot be said for others. The Will, after realizing how strong the Primal has become, expelled the Prima from the Origin Expanse before altering its ways to control the Origin Expanse. Most beings on the verge of attaining godhood, or after forming a proper Divinity, say the Will helps the creation of Gods in the hope of working against the Primal.]
'If that's the case…it is no wonder that the Primal try to capture and seal Gods. Killing Gods is not that easy, probably not even for the primal, but they can seal them away, using the same being who created them – the Will – to fight them.'
[They do not fear all Gods. Some Gods become their subordinates. Minor Gods are of no interest to them, except if they intervene in their plans in the mortal and immortal worlds. But they did not like what our father did…how he helped us create some of the strongest Divinities to exist…Divinities that can grow seemingly endlessly.] n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fenrir stopped for a moment, and Jormungandr jumped in.
[We acquired the Authorities – the specific Laws – of the cosmos and weaved them into our Divinity Seeds before it blossomed and shaped into a proper Divinity. I acquired the authority of Power, Hel claimed the authority of Death, and Fenrir's authority, which is basically something I claimed a trace as well, are the authorities of Extricate, Absorption, and Entangle.
Fenrir has multiple Authorities because he never managed to gain mastery of one of the strongest Authorities, but by tearing apart the three masteries he'd acquired and fusing them countless times before the perfect Authority had been formed, Fenrir managed to create an Authority stronger than ours.]
Michael nodded slowly.
'So, to put it simply, you guys did something crazy that angered the Primal. They went after you, caught Fenrir, and are also in pursuit of Jormungandr and Hel. That being said, I am currently forming Divinities using your Authorities as a base…which also means that the Primal will come after me once they realize what my powers are and whom I got my Divinities from.'
He was still nodding.
'In that case, I will have to fight the Primal sooner or later as long as you support me and my growth with your Divinities, either way. So why are you asking me that question in the first place?'
Fenrir remained silent while Jormungandr and Hel chortled. They made fun of their brother.
[I don't think Fenrir was thinking that far.] Hel explained that it was only for Fenrir to growl deeply.
[Y'all didn't think that far either. It was so obvious that it was well-hidden again!!]
