Chapter 2052: Kronos And Kairos Chronomancer Prime at first did not want to take the advice of Eos; he could scatter his consciousness across infinite shards of timescapes, and those parts of his consciousness could think and innovate for him, but he came to a wall that held him back. He could have infinite minds, but they all had one source, and that source needed a long time to grow and mature, and Prime could only lower himself and look for help because he knew that the fastest way to grow was to bring the input of others into his consciousness. The sparks of inspiration and growth that could be generated from two separate minds coming together were something that an infinite mind would not be able to achieve. If his power levels was below the ninth dimension, having so many minds would give him an infinite source of inspiration, but at the ninth dimension, Origin was complete, and the power to look beyond it was only opened recently by Rowan who briefly held control over the fifth layer of Origin, but it was a shame that he was too weak to hold it for long. An amusing accident that happened was that Eos, with all his power, was unable to hold the fifth layer of Space, at least not while he stubbornly stayed at the eighth-dimensional level. It was not an issue of power, since he had all of that in spades. Eos’s failure came from the fact that the fifth layer of space was so domineering that if he placed it within him, it would crush all the Origins inside his body. With Eos’ character, he would never allow this to happen, and that was why Chronomancer Prime knew he needed to step up. The perfect counterbalance to Space was Time, and if he was able to discern the fifth layer of Time which Prime now believed was the Future... then Eos would have all he needed to fully become an Origin being at the fifth layer of Existence. Prime knew that even if he gained the fifth layer of Time, it was not an assurance that Eos would win the war; that was how powerful their enemies were, but it was a powerful weapon that would wipe away a lot of the opposition. He had searched for a long time for the perfect candidate who would be able to give him the inspiration he needed. Prime was picky after all, and although his Creator had a fascinating obsession with the potential of these lesser beings, Prime thought it must be because he had been brainwashed as a child to think he was one of them, and while it was the easiest thing for Eos to reject this limitation when he discovered that he was both the heir of Hundun and Enoch, he did not, instead he adopted their identity as his own and called them his children. Searching through the entirety of the Origin Realms for the right candidate that he could select was arduous, and Prime had expected that his search would take forever, and there was a possibility that he might never find who he was looking for, but then the birth of a mad genius, the Primordial of Serene Ascension. Eos had always told him that his children had limitless potential, and he was confident that in time, there would be many among them who would rise to meet him at his throne. This concept had always seemed ridiculous to Prime, who believed that they, Eos’s bloodline Avatars, were his true heir and everything else was relegated to an eternal pursuit of the smallest fragments of their true strength. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Serene Ascension was the closest that Prime had ever had to apologise for any of his beliefs. Of the countless quadrillion lives being born every year inside the Origin Realms, Serene Ascension stood head and shoulders above them, and Prime went back in time to watch the birth and rise of this genius, and he was not disappointed by what he saw; he was shocked. It did not take long for him to reveal himself to him and take the child as his disciple. Although the reason he appreciated this genius also made him annoyed, because Serene Ascension, for all his brilliance, hated power. This was a fascinating contrast to what most lifeforms in the Origin Realms preferred, and Serene Ascension only grew stronger in order for him to be able to see more of the mysteries of Existence. The child was not a fighter, and Prime suspected that some very powerful Old Ones may be able to kill Serene Ascension because he had never even learned how to throw a punch in his entire life. Nevertheless, Serene Ascension had proved again and again that his mind was matchless, and before Prime could even show him the direction he was intending to pursue, Serene Ascension had already figured it out and came to him with seven different directions that he had selected after he had gone through billions of options. Charting out a new layer of time was difficult, and Serene Ascension saw this challenge. After returning, he proposed that Prime shattered his foundation and rebuild himself the same way that Eos did, but use a different format. The only reason Prime had not slapped his disciple to death at the mention of shattering his foundation was that what Serene Ascension showed him was so monumental that he brought it to Eos, and with the help of his unfathomable mind, Prime reforged his foundation, and he became something more special. In the first layer of Time, Prime gave it life and called it Kronos, the Chronicle Layer. No Primordial could give the layer of their Origin life; well, they could, but this would only lead to a corruption of their Origin, as they were not meant to behave in this manner. In fact for an average Primordial, conquering their Origin meant that they had to supress and most times, eradicate the Will that inhabited that layer of Origin, only in this manner would they be the total master of that layer of Origin, but Prime took a different route and gave his first layer life. He continued on this path and gave the second layer of Time a life and a name; he called it Kairos, the momentum layer.
