The Primordial Record - Chapter 1100: Geo-Magnetic Storm

This was the first time in a while since Storm Hammer was using her Core Aura offensively, and if she had not been consumed by pain during the assaults, Storm Hammer would have noticed that every Core Aura she lost was not being converted to a fallow field for newborn Calamities but were instead being absorbed by the Blood Blessed, especially Young Po, who had surprisingly done the most damage if it was rated by a single person.

The bloodline of the Blood Blessed after it had been changed by Rowan now had the ability to consume both Ascendant and Calamity Aura to fuel the transformation and growth of their bloodline, making them the perfect weapons against this realm. If his mortal body were to be the weapon against Ascendancy, then the Shiik would be the weapon against Calamity, and a third force representing his golden blood would become the third force.

Rowan did not see the merit of fighting on only one side of the board when he had the capabilities of fighting on all sides, even becoming the board itself. Only lesser beings in terms of power picked a side, why would he ever want to suppress himself in this manner?

Rowan who was closely watching the demonstration of his children as they were slowly growing in confidence in their powers and abilities nodded in acknowledgement of their progress. It was expected that at first, they would be timid, but the potential of Rowan’s bloodline was unrivaled, and it was time his children became used to the feeling of omnipotence, it was their birthright after all.

The power the Ascendant released when she unleashed all of her Natal treasure was somewhat interesting. Rowan understood the concept but found it fascinating that in a realm like Doom Star where there were no stars, how could anyone create such an Ascendant technique like this one? Storm Hammer using all six of her Natal Treasure summoned a Geomagnetic storm that did not originate from a star but from the combination of all her Natal Treasure. Her penultimate technique, this storm carried both intense heat and electrical and magnetic energy that could strip the earth down to its essence and turn everything around into nothingness. With enough juice pushed into this technique, Storm Hammer could realistically become a force of ultimate destruction.

A bright blue and orange corona erupted around her that was burning at ridiculous temperatures, it radiated so much heat that the earth a thousand miles away all turned to glass, and at the center of the Geomagnetic storm, a massive molten crater that reached hundreds of miles into the ground was created. From a distance, it was as if a blue and orange sun had suddenly bloomed to life above the ground, accompanied by the mad laughter of Storm Hammer.

Nothing should survive such a move, even an Ascendant would suffer terrible damage under this blow, and Storm Hammer expected such a result when she looked around her and saw no sign of life except a blasted wasteland with temperature that was closer to the surface of a star.

Unleashing so much Aura at once should have created billions of Calamity creatures but they hardly had the time to form before the storm destroyed them all.

Storm Hammer expected that the heat wave that would erupt from this place would soon sweep through the entire continent and turn it into ash. Before now Storm Hammer would have been deeply dissatisfied if she ended this continent in this manner, now she was just grateful that she was able to survive through the unexpected tribulation that she had found here, she had the scars that would bear her witness, the loss of her Dan was a punishment that few Ascendant could ignore.

She took back her storm and was about to recall her Natal Treasures because the cost of keeping them active was rather high, especially due to the destructive nature of her combined sets, she noticed certain bulges across the molten earth, like rising bubbles. A disbelieving thought crossed her mind and she shook her head in incredulity.

The last series of attacks against her as she attempted to escape was fast, but she was able to recognize that her attacker was a golden giant that was at least seventy feet tall. The sheer power of that giant had exceeded all mortal forms of power that she had ever known, making her come to the conclusion that whatever was happening on this continent was deeply tied to this giant, perhaps that long-dead being was now awakened and was preventing her from escaping.

At least that was what she thought until the rising bubbles burst open and thousands upon thousands of similar golden giants began to arise from the magma, only differentiated by the body shapes to show their sexes.

The earth began to shake as more giants began to erupt from the ground and in a short while it was as if she stood in the center of a field of golden statues whose presence seemed to scrape the heavens above. Speechless she turned around in shock, a sickening fear in her heart that those people she had been previously fighting were these golden giants before her. How could such a force that could challenge Ascendancy be created and nurtured right under their nose? For how long had this plan been going on?

Never in her four million years of life would Storm Hammer believe that all of these changes took place in six months.

The golden giants stood inside the pool of magma, enduring intense heat that would vaporize metals to mere bubbles in moments without any hint of difficulty, the glow from their golden bodies against the earth cast a wide shine that pushed away the darkness of the Calamity Suns.

Shock and awe filled Storm Hammer’s heart, but these emotions were rapidly transformed into fear when the mask of the golden giants peeled off to reveal dagger-length fangs and bloody tongue that seemed to be tasting the air, eyes that were filled with golden fire all turned to her at nearly the same time and the earth was shattered for miles as a hundred thousand golden giants exploded towards her at the same time.

The force of a hundred thousand golden giants moving at gravity-defying speeds towards Storm Hammer seemed to tear reality apart, as space appeared to stretch and distort. The air molecules in front of the giants were compressed so rapidly that the surroundings that were burning at such a high temperature rapidly cooled down as magma transformed into ice in less than a microsecond.

Each of these giants were powerful enough to effortlessly crush a Minor World, their strengths could not be underestimated.

The Ascendant could not even move as the air pressure from so many giants rushing towards her trapped her in place as if she was an ant trapped inside a metal block, only her wide opened eyes filled with fear could fractionally move around before even that stopped and Storm Hammer began to shrink.

She shrank not because she wanted to change tactics but due to the fact that the pressure being exerted upon her was so great that her body could only be compressed under the force. Her body which was created under the power of her Natal Treasures was not as flexible as her Ascendant’s body and was not made to be compressed in this manner.
