The Primordial Record

A bright beam of light traveling many times the speed of light cut across reality, and within was an Angel of the Celestial Court.

Enziel was a Sovereign of the 98th Cahiron Squad in charge of patroling through the fringes of the Celestial Sector, ensuring the safety of every immortal that dwelled near the glorious City of Light. Not all immortals were privileged to dwell in the shining city, and they had to reside around the Celestial Court, but order needed to be maintained, and these patrols by Angels were a frequent sight around this region.

With his power and status Enziel was not due to patrol these parts for the next eight hundred thousand years, but due to the destruction of the Frozen Road and the ensuing chaos that was inevitably bound to occur, he was tasked with sending a message of caution and calm to all the realms near this sector, it would not take long for reality to fall into disorder if the weak-minded immortals knew of the magnitude that this disruption of the order of reality could cause.

Even if all the realms outside the Celestial Court were to be entrenched in disorder, this sector could not fall to that state, and if there were any rot, the Angels would cleanse them with divine punishment.

With the speed of Angels, Enziel had already visited a dozen realms, quelled the beginnings of a hundred unrest, and ended three wars between neighboring factions who believed that reality was about to end and they wanted to take the opportunity to settle old grievances. There were less hundreds of rulers and half their armies were ash under the wrath of Enziel, but peace and stability had returned to the realms.

His destination was Aerovah, one of the most important realms on the outer edge of the Celestial Sector, their ruler had a connection with some of the Celestial Creators and had been able to find favor with the City of Light due to her willingness to provide valuable resources and act as a stabilizing factor for the outer areas of the Celestial court.

Even if this sector was not deemed important to the Celestials, they did not want any form of disorder near their region, and Aerovah was a firm ally that needed to be reassured that the City of Light would ensure that a solution was created to bring back the Frozen Road or even replace it, there was nothing impossible to achieve for the higher orders of Celestials.

Enziel wings shivered and he paused in place, his body began to shake as his celestial heart nearly exploded out from his chest. He knelt down in the void as tears of blood and fire ran down from his eyes, his armor cracked into pieces and the flames from his ten wings died down to embers, he would have blinded his eyes if he was able to, but the only thing he could do was to pray.

In his thirty billion years of life, he had only come close to a higher-order celestial less than a dozen times, and he had never been this close; or sensed their powers unleashed to such an extent.

Trillions of miles away, reality shattered into pieces, and massive black wings covered by black flames emerged from it, they were being suppressed by a mountain shaped in the form of a stele with countless runic imprints on it that nearly tore the mind of Enziel to pieces.

His perception was locked on this scene as he could not help but follow the descent of these apocalyptic events, and he was dimly aware that the direction where they were heading was towards his target Aerovah. Many changes were occurring in the descending forces but Enziel's perception was too weak to capture it.

The impact when they slammed into the first disk of Aerovah was not silent, and even from trillions of miles away, the sound of that clash or the intense light that arose from it burned Enziel's eyes to ash.

Rowan felt it the moment they were banished into real space, the weight that the World Stele had imposed on reality had vanished, and there was no longer the all-pervasive feeling of its powers all around him.

To shield Doom Star from all of reality because the resurrection of Thenos was underway, the World Stele had carried the entire realm into a space of its making.

This turned out to be an advantage for Rowan because it hid the gaze of reality from discovering his actions and allowed him to evolve into a higher dimensional being in relative secrecy while plotting the fall of some of the greatest powers in reality, but as much as it aided him, it was the World Stele that had the greatest benefit.

With Rowan's knowledge of Singularities, although powerful, they were not able to express most of their powers without the aid of their hosts. However, the World Stele had created an environment that borrowed the power of the realm of its host to unleash a potent force of sealing and other unknown powers that compensated for the weakness of Singularities.

It was only when it saw that its control over Rowan was no longer possible that it went all out and in a stunning display of bravery and sacrifice. The Singularity blasted Rowan out of this space it had created where it had an advantage so it could give Thenos the chance to recover.

The instant they were blasted out of the space that the World Stele controlled, Rowan even while being suppressed under the physical form of the Singularity had more increased level of freedom, and golden flames erupted from his body with so much intensity, that they would seem that he had transformed into a massive sun the size of multiple universes.

A surge of light escaped from the golden sun a moment before Rowan was slammed into the realm below him, and the moment they were about to impact against the realm below, his senses had already swept through its entirety, knowing its name and all the creatures that dwelled in it.

A flash of blue light erupted from his body that swept through the first, second, and third disks of Aerovah, and it transported the countless trillions of living beings on it to the lower disks. For the first time in a long time, Rowan did not need souls, because despite the great amount he had consumed to evolve, there were still many soul crystals left in his dimension, and slashing Thenos in half had been an opportunity for him to collect the last remaining souls inside the body of that titan.

Adding to the fact that as much as he would not mind having more souls, he was now in reality proper and his actions carried great consequences going forward, there was a third reason he did this, although he had left Thenos behind after being suppressed by the World Stele, he wanted to make sure that this titan did not have access to any living being to feed upon.

A moment before, the surge of golden light that escaped from his body had been his dimensional soul leaving his body and pursuing Thenos into the space that the World Stele had driven both of them away from. Now Rowan had one job here, it was to destroy this Singularity while his soul hunted down Thenos.

With the thinking and acting speed of Rowan, all of these happened in a brief moment and as his feet were about to impact the realm below, he simply summoned all his Telekinetic powers and directed them to his two hands that were bracing against the crushing might of the World Stele, as they smashed into the earth.

"BOOOOOOMMMM!!!"

Rowan felt the first disk vibrate, every single atom that made up this expansive realm which was bigger than a hundred universes was loosened, and the realm shattered releasing more energy than a trillion supernovas going off at once, and that explosion was left far behind as the force from the World Stele was not abated and they slammed into the second disk with a similar result, and it was on the third disk that the momentum from the crash ended, but half of the disk had been crushed into pieces.

All these while Rowan had been accumulating force from the impacts and from the energy his dimensional flesh was creating, and the instant the explosive suppression of the World Stele had ended, his two palms touching the World Stele exploded in golden light and with a might thrust backed by all the telekinetic potential, he pushed his arms into the Singularity and with a roar that echoed through half the Celestial Sector, he pulled his arms apart, tearing the Singularity in two.

The screams of a Singularity in pain, killed every immortal lower than the fifth-dimensional state, and those that were higher ran mad.

'Fuck,' Rowan thought, 'Guess I cannot start this new chapter of my life with a clean slate.'
