Chapter 263: Who Are You?
Rowan realized he was still a little too weak to consume the food inside his mouth, as with a loud crack one of his consciousness pillar assigned to siphoning the soul of Erohim was nearly destroyed, as tearing apart the soul of the god even with all his advantages if his bloodline was extremely difficult, and he rapidly shifted to another pillar while waiting for the cracked consciousness pillar to heal.
If this was his previous soul, that crack would be the end of him, almost like a snake trying to swallow a horse, he would simply explode, but now...
The sixth pillar was completed and a seventh was being created.
The effects were immediate and his mind expanded once more and now he used two consciousness pillars to pull out and process the soul, easing the burdens he was placing on a single pillar.
The nearly destroyed pillar finished healing with a bright flash of golden light.
Rowan immediately assigned the consciousness into one of his Ouroboros Serpents, watching them commit havoc inside Erohim Divine Kingdom, and using its eyes to search through the Divine Kingdom.
The first time he saw the entirety of a Divine Kingdom, even one from a fallen god such as Erohim, he was amazed, and if he tried to describe everything he was seeing, it would be problematic because some parts of it were intrinsically impossible to describe.
How do you go about describing sound to someone who is deaf, or colors to the blind? There were concepts here that he could only experience but he had no way of understanding them. It was a good thing then that he was only trying to consume the damn thing than to understand it, for he feared it would take him years to do so.
Yet, it did not stop him from setting out to remember as much of what he was seeing as possible, it would all be invaluable data for him in the near future and the first thing he noticed disregarding the size, was that the Divine Kingdom appeared to be made of ice and flames, and the size of it was astonishing, as he could fit ten planets the size of Jarkarr inside of it.
Similar to the Domain he was trapped in before, the Divine Kingdom was like a sphere, as it had no edges but curved around and when the Ouroboros Serpents flew towards the middle, gravity acted on them and their orientation seemed to change, and the 'up' became 'down', it was a somewhat thrilling experience, also unlike the Domain, its prevalent element of ice and fire existed together in harmony.
There were vast plains and endless mountain ranges, massive forest and falls, and they were all made of two elements only, flames and ice.
There were trees of ice bearing fruits made from flames, mountains of ice that had snow made from flaming particles, and so many astonishing phenomena it boggles the mind, and what Rowan found most interesting was the living creatures inside the Divine Kingdom.
They were not powerful, most were critters and small animals like rabbits and small birds, but they were made entirely from ice or fire, a river of flames with schools of ice fishes swimming inside.
The makeup of these creatures interested Rowan so much, as he did not detect any power protecting them from the opposing element, he steered the Ouroboros Serpents from devouring them, but he should not have bothered because a massive pulse swept through the Divine Kingdom flattening the land and slamming the Serpents on the ground. The same pulse killed off a massive number of those mystical creatures.
Their furious outcry of his Serpents were cut short as they were grounded to paste by the power Erohim was releasing inside his Divine Kingdom, although their bodies were very resistant to damage, it was not enough. Rowan grunted as he spat golden blood that resembled sparks of flames, and his Absolute Body heated up as it increased the time for resurrecting the Serpents back to life.
He knew it would not be easy, and he prepared himself for an extended challenge, Erohim was not going to truly fall without putting up a hell of a fight. This would be the most challenging battle of his life so far.
The flames on this hidden fourth Continent began to gather into a gigantic figure, whose size was so great the commotion from the gathering flame shook Rowan's body. The figure that appeared was thousands of miles tall and from where Rowan sat, he could see barely above its feet.
The sky above darkened as the shadow of the creature covered the entire continent, and then brightened once more as a vast face began coming down, as if it was a human trying to view an ant on the floor. Eyes the size of small moons looked down on him, and from his perspective, a single eye covered the entire horizon!
This giant did not fluster Rowan because in his sight, he could see the energy inside the being was equal to that of Dorian, maybe a little bit more powerful, but to him at the moment, this level of power could not shake him. He wasn't concerned about appearances anymore, the only thing he found important was the power levels of what he was facing. Extreme horror or beauty were slowly losing their sway over his mental state.
"WHO ARE YOU?"
The voice from the giant was slow and thunderous, like the sound of a thousand lightning bolts.
Rowan ignored the massive apparition before him as a new consciousness pillar was formed inside his Palace of Ice, making it a total of seven pillars, and he added it to the devouring force, boosting the suction force and the generation of new pillars as an eighth pillar was coalescing.
The giant face above frowned and from the open eyeball a lance of flame thousands of feet in diameter slammed down towards Rowan.
Using his Telekinesis, he brought out the hundreds of shields in his Spatial Bracelet, and from Dorian Bracelet he brought out the shields from there too, and as Eva returned with the Spatial Ring from the two governors of Trinad and Mrinah, he added their mystical shields to the defense creating three layers of shielding above him.
