The Dias (Page 168)

"Do you have any idea what you've just done!!? He's in no condition to help us, and now once we arrive at The Dias, you'll have to carry him!!"

Durado just rolls his eyes, and it takes all my willpower to resist disintegrating him. But I know that Scott thinks Durado is important to all this. That we need his help... Personally, I think we'll do fine without him.

"You can hate and glare at me all you want, Aurora. But now we know where to go and what to do. You wouldn't have been able to find it. Your feelings for Scott are clouding your judgment, and you can't focus. You're compromised."

Where in the fuck does he get off calling me compromised!! He's the one that was nearly driven mad at the thought of losing his daughter! He nearly jeopardized Scott's life!

"Just shut up for once, Durado. I'm not in the mood to go back and forth with you. I need to take us to The Dias."

Scott would want us to focus and get through this. So that's what I do. It takes a minute to locate The Dias now that I know what I'm looking for, but I target in on the location, and I teleport us there.

We exit out into a large room is a podium in the middle that's carrying a large assortment of technology. Buttons, panels, that sort of thing. And all the cables are leading to a metal spire in the middle of the room.

"What is this place?"

I don't want to speak with Durado right now, but I know exactly what all this is. This spire is connected to the machine core of Primordium Prime. It directs the power, and these consoles are used to form the energy into whatevers needed.

"Fine, don't answer me. It's not like I'd know from your explanation anyway..."

If veins could show up from my anger right now, they would. He keeps on pushing me, and I'm trying to do what's right. But if he keeps this up, I'll not be held responsible for what happens to him.

I walk up to the podium, and I input the necessary commands to start the process of generating the portal. What'll happen is power will shoot from the tip of this spire and reach the surface. It'll create a portal above Primordium Prime, and we'll make our way back to Immortalitas.

"Do not worry... Scott... I'll be meeting you soon... And you will help me Ascend to true Godhood... Together, other dimensions and new universes will be unlocked, and I'll never know starvation and isolation again... All will be united..."

There isn't much time until I reach Primordium Prime... The ancient homeworld of my greatest enemies... The ones that took all that I was meant to be... I was meant to unite all life under one...

But The Primordium saw me as nothing more than a Parasite that would kill everything in the universe. How could a species not as old as I, know anything about me... I was born and thriving long before they crawled out of their caves.

"Nothing will stop me this time... Not a lone Primordium... A left-behind boy, with too much power and not knowing how to use it..."

Even if he reaches The Keynote, it'll be useless to him. The Keynote and The Coda Arrey serve a single function. To destroy all life in the universe, and that can't be changed. Meaning everything he's trying to do is useless.

But I'm expecting to run into problems on Primordium Prime. The weapons and drones will put up a fight. And that's not excluding Borealis and what she's capable of. At this moment in time, will all the biomass I've collected and all the knowledge I've regained. I undoubtedly have her beat.

However, I've underestimated her before. And that's what led to the first defeat I suffered in the war against The Primordium. And many defeats after that... Perhaps it's quality and not quantity that beat me during those battles, but I've learned from those mistakes... I remember them after all.
