Chapter 1172: Rewards (9)
The Time Lineage Tome...
Its existence seemed to be all about understanding the shifts and changes in Runes over the course of time and using that to predict and grasp what changes would occur in the future.
But the irony was that... the Space Lineage Tome felt the exact same.
It was all about tracking the imprints of Runes and what marks they left in the Mesh of Reality, using that to predict and grasp what changes would occur in the future.
’No... that is the ability of Temporal Delay and Astral Stutter. There are no "abilities" of these tomes, just methods of observing and comprehending Runes in ways that others cannot grasp. I’ve just distilled their abilities down to this understanding because that is what my Progenitor Flame Abilities allow me to see with greater ease...
’I need to go deeper... deeper than that...’
When you flipped through the Time Lineage Tome, you began to see double, then triple. It was like all the history of the Runes before you were shifting and changing, and the more of this history and potential future you could see through, the sharper and faster you could be at drawing Runes.
The Space Lineage Tome was the same.
But then Sylas thought of something... why did this sound so similar to his Temporal Delay and Astral Stutter Progenitor Flame Abilities? Their descriptions, even, mirrored this exactly.
Were the Tomes and his Progenitor Flame Abilities really just perfect replicas of one another—one meant to grant an ability and the other meant to explain it?
Sylas really didn’t feel like it was so simple.
