Chapter 2068: The Fourth Generation (4) Eos had allowed Serathis and Chronomancer Prime to pursue their interest, knowing they would also be serving his Will despite the direction they were going to take, but the Origin Ouroboros were very important to his plan to facilitate the creation of Primordials. The six serpents contained varied abilities, and they were supreme beings whose bodies already crossed the threshold of Existence, and the only thing holding them back was their youth and lack of understanding of the highest laws of Existence. Everyone could see the Origin Realms, but few could see the foundations that it was built under, because Eos had hidden them. His serpents had never stopped growing, and at this time, they had encircled the foundations of the Entirety of the Origin Realms, and they were still expanding. Eos had shown Eva a soundless avenue paved with the names of the forgotten, and she had been distracted by this and the incredible distance they had travelled through as they crossed Limbo. Perhaps if her senses were a bit more refined and she had taken the time to observe this passage well, she would have seen something terrifying... This entire passage was moving, and this was because the so-called ground was just one of the scales of the Origin Ouroboros Serpents! His serpents had grown to a level that defied meaning. Eos was not following the script of the Ancient Primordials to consume all the Essence of the shattered Realities, because what he wanted was the knowledge of every single Ancient Origin Force in Existence, and after he had acquired them all, leaving just the Origin of Time, Soul, Demon, Life, Memory, and Chaos. With the death of Asteroath, he had acquired Light, and so there were only six Ancient Origin Forces left for him to acquire to complete his path. However, just because he did not want the Essence inside the Primordial Record did it mean he would allow it go to waste or leave it for the Ancient Primordials to claim if they won the war... that would be a foolish thing to do, and Eos despised waste, not when he had the perfect vessels, the Ouroboros Serpents. Unlike Serathis or Chronomancer Prime, the Origin Ouroboros could get infinitely stronger the more energy and essence they consumed, and while they were in a balance with Eos’s Origin Land, where they consumed his Ether and gave him Essence for the expansion of his Origin Land, this was just a stable and balanced method for Eos to grow. If there were no wars on the horizon, Eos would have used this method of growth to reach the peak, after many billions of years, but time was not waiting for him, since End and all of his enemies were converging towards him without giving him the space to grow. So, Eos cheated. He had lied to his enemies that his goal was to merge with all the Origin Essence inside the Primordial Record, but that would take too long, and was not part of his plans, what Eos had always wanted to do, even before he made his plans to fully combined all the 10,008 Ancient Origin Forces, it was to eat the Origin Essences inside the Primordial Record. There was a difference between merging and eating. The first would be directly adding the Origin Essence to your own, making it a part of you, and that meant this power would have to be slowly refined until it recognizes you as the owner, and the second method, which Eos wanted to do, was to consume it. This meant the energy would be shattered and transformed into the element that was desired by the body. Anyone would consider it a waste to feed all the essence gathered from all over Existence to the serpents, but they did not have his Origin Land, and they could never imagine that Eos would gain far more benefit consuming the Origin Essence than absorbing it. Recall that the Origin Ouroboros had a symbiotic relationship with Eos’s Origin Land, and that his Origin Land was his body. At this time, Eos always sat down in a single spot; his appearance was weak and feeble, but only he knew how terrifying he was becoming with every moment that was passing by. You see, Eos had created 10,008 Incarnations for his plan for his evolution in the future, but the thing was that he could not confirm that his plans had not been seen through by others. It was daring and imaginative, but there was a chance that he could never be able to acquire all 10,008 Ancient Origin Forces in the future, and placing all his eggs in one basket had never been his style. The Temple of End had infiltrated his Origin Realms, and there was a chance that he may have rooted all of their forces, but an aspect of them might remain, or they may have traced the path of some of his Incarnations and might have found a way to thwart his plans, but what they could never take away from him was his personal strength. In their eyes, Eos was making a daring move, betting everything on the future, while keeping himself weak and depending on his children to defend the Origin Realms, but this was the image he wanted them all to see. His Origin Ouroboros Serpent fed on the Ether and his Origin Land, and so this relationship might have been parasitic except for the fact that they gave him their essence in return, and with this essence, his Origin Land could grow. He had slightly reduced the amount of Land the serpents could consume, so his Origin Land was always increasing, but with the Essence of every Reality consumed by the Primordials now pouring into the stomachs of the six serpents, the essence they could produce had multiplied exponentially, and that meant Eos’s Origin Land was growing exponentially! When he fought the Abomination, his size and strength had been a great surprise to the creature, and it knew that Eos was still growing, but no one could imagine how much he had grown in one hundred million years, with all the food he desired. Why did his enemies have to think he must reach the Primordial level before he was able to wipe them all out? Eos was killing multiple birds with a single stone. He was getting stronger while using the scales of his serpent to filter out the names of all the fallen that resided in the essence of the shattered Realities. It should be noted that every Reality consumed by the Primordials was tainted with the power of End, and so with the bones delivered from Circe’s dream, Eos had seen the natural shape that End was supposed to take, and he used this as an inspiration to create this technique. The scales of his serpents were unfathomable treasures, but Eos was recording all the names of the fallen upon them. In essence, he was making the scales of his serpents become the filter that would collect the power of End, leaving all the pure, untainted essence of creation behind for his serpents to devour. This was the exchange he made to erase the power of End, and this exchange did not end here, as it was also the base for the creation of the technique that he had spread all over the Origin Realms.
