Returning to Algorth, who floated over this non-space that the Great Abyss had become, Rowan took with him Telmus and Staff, the duo of father and daughter.
The castle was eager to have a new Primordial settle in her hall, and she had already created a special wing for Telmus, who needed the time to master his abilities and learn about the future.
An intense discussion was ahead, but for now, Rowan sat alone in the dark and switched off all his mental activities. The coming days would be tougher, and the sacrifices would be more painful, so for now, he should rest when he had the chance to rest.
His recent battles had led to a great surge in his abilities, and he would tackle all of these changes, but for now, he wanted to rest for as long as possible.
So, Rowan twisted time inside this dark room. A single second would go by in Reality, but an eternity would pass by inside here.
Such an incredible time dilation could only be held by immortals with his physique and soul’s strength, but that was one thing that Rowan was not lacking.
He had seen the fall of Seed and decided not to interfere; this was his mercy, and Rowan considered their Karma to be settled. Only when fighting and killing Primordials could Rowan fully understand the weight of their existence and the Karma they carried with them.
By their presence alone, cause and effect were switched, and free will was a pipe dream. In all of existence, only a few could fight against their influence and knew that Seed and so many others like him had no chance to discover what their destiny might be like if they were not under the sway of the Primordials.
Caine, the Eye of Time, General Augustus Tiberius, Seed, Elura, Labaletai... the Third Prince. So many names from his past, all of them had shaped him in many ways to become who he was, but they never discovered who they might be.
This was the reason he fought, because no one else was able to stand against the tyranny of the Primordials... their absolute power demands a challenger that was greater than absolutes.
Rowan sank into a dreamless sleep for an eternity. Countless trillions of years went by in the dark, and when he opened his eyes, only one second had passed, and he was greeted by the smiling face of Eva, the New Light.
"Rowan, have you rested?"
"I have," he replied, as he stood up from the silence of the dark, "let us go, our work is still many, and time is short."
Rowan did not have to look up to see that the Nothingness had fully collapsed and Limbo was pressed against Reality.
This meant that at this moment, the faces of seven Primordials like blighted suns bigger than any dimension could ever be, were pressed against the fabrics of Reality, and if not for the wall of Aegis blocking all sights below the ninth dimensional level, all life inside Reality would have perished if they could glimpse the faces of the Primordials overhead.
"It is time to find Thenos and the World Stele."
Eva paused, "Is he to be the third?"
"If he is suitable," Rowan said, "If not, I shall clear them off the board. At this stage, unknown elements cannot be permitted to exist. But before that, we should talk to Telmus, show him what the future would bring."
"I expected that meeting, and I have already prepared the grounds for it. He is waiting for you."
"Good, let us go,"

The dust of shattered dimensions and the tears of forgotten gods formed a nebula of grief, drifting from the corpse of what was once the Arena and the Abyss, and circling throughout Reality.
With the complete destruction of the Great Abyss, the fallout circled all of existence, causing fear and panic. Everyone knew of a new power, a Creator who had risen against the Primordial.
The destruction of the Nothingness was being felt by the inhabitants of Reality, although only the Old Ones could see the implications of these events when they noticed that many new and mysterious creatures were appearing all over Reality.
These creatures were known to inhabit the Nothingness, but their appearance inside Reality and their story painted a horrifying new change to all the things once held as immutable and unchanging.
