Chapter 222 Kill A God To Earn A Name
He was going to be making a large play, and the pieces would have to be in place before he made his move because he knew if he was going to reveal himself to the world he had to use a blitzing strategy that would leave no room for his enemies to retaliate and when they do, it would already be too late.
It may already be too late for him, but Rowan felt he still had a chance. His actions led to the death of 453,000 people, he knew that because he had consumed those souls. He only had to remind himself he was not human but an Empyrean, doing any less would not only condemn him but every one else.
Pushing that grim thought from his mind, he switched to Suriel who showed him the golden rat tracking him underneath the ground, and Rowan ordered the Lady of Shadow to cloud its mind and keep it in place, and he closed his eyes and waited for the Ouroboros Serpents to return to him.
He felt their return, and he smiled for above him the six Ouroboros serpents followed each other and flew in a circular pattern, the leader was the one eyed Ouroboros serpent, followed by the two eyed serpent all the way to the youngest six eyed Ouroboros serpent, in their chest was a bright pulsating yellow glow as if a sun were beating inside of it.
Rowan sat on his Throne of ice on a mountain the shape of a finger, with the six serpents revolving around him that were shining as bright as the sun. Their colors painted the world in all the shades of light, and Rowan waited for his Angels to complete their task.
He was surprised when the last born, the six–eyed Ouroboros Serpent shrank and came to him, it was kind of hesitant, and then it neared him and coiled around his arm. Rowan paused and stroked its head, and the serpent closed all six of its eyes in pleasure.
Seeing that action, the rest of the Ouroboros serpents rushed down and began cavorting around his body as they coiled through his hair and his arms while making small hisses of pleasure.
"I've been ignoring you guys all these while have I not? Seeing in some ways, you are also my children of my blood, as well as the Angels, who are also children of my blood."
Rowan smiled, "As my firstborns, I have actually never named you guys. Tell me, do you want names?"
The Serpents began to hiss, and he understood their intentions, they all believed they were not worthy of a name yet, until they proved their deeds to him.
Rowan laughed, "Well if you insist, I believe you have done enough for me, but still, I wonder what sort of deed would be able to satisfy, before you let me name you guys?
Their answer made Rowan arched an eyebrow and threw his head back as he laughed, they told him, they must devour at least a god, "If that is so, then I can't wait to give you your names soon."
His mind returned to the memories he collected from the planet. He knew how the Great Storm happened, and it bore numerous similarities to the tales of Erohim told to him by Circe. "So many truths within lies." Rowan thought.
Inside the core of the planet was a secret held by the Boreas family for thousands of years, and it was what gave them the ability to create such potent Battle Stimulants; Rowan was going to control it with his Legendary Ability, but first he needed time to do so without interruption.
The speed of the Angels were unreal, and Rowan would bet they would rank as one of the fastest beings in all the universes because of a simple flight ability, which was to double their speed at every flap of their wings. Sounds simple on paper, but the execution of this ability was astonishing to witness.
Even if the base speed of his Angels was 200 mph (ca. 322 kilometers per hour), a single flap would increase it to 400 mph (ca. 644 kilometers per hour), another flap 800 mph (ca. 1,287 kilometers per hour), then 1600… up until infinity, and they could flap their wings at least three times per second. The base speed of an Angel was not 200 mph (ca. 322 kilometers per hour), it was 950 mph (ca. 1,529 kilometers per hour), so in a single second they could achieve a speed of 2,850 mph (ca. 4,587 kilometers per hour). Although the base speed of the Angels would increase with their advancement and their rank.
The three Angels soon reached the cities, and except for the infiltration on Kraków, which had to be done with care, the Angels soon went invisible, and like mist they drifted into the cities, the first part of his plan was complete, his Angels would perform their duties, even if it takes them days to do so, now it was time to Ascend.
The Ouroboros Serpents were aware of his intentions, and after rubbing themselves in his body one more time they flew up into the sky where they began to expand to their full size, the last born seemed almost reluctant to leave and waited for Rowan to rub it head a few more times before it flew up.
The Lady of Shadow looked at these Serpents and shuddered.
Rowan called up the Primordial Record, and checking through it one more time, activated his Legendary Bloodline Ability— Chaos World Engine. There was a slight delay as if he had just switched on a planet size engine, and it was slowly beginning to start up.
The six Ouroboros Serpents roared, and they began moving faster as they revolved in the air, their speed was so great it began causing tornadoes to form and the earth around the mountain began to rise as hurricane class winds smashed through the surrounding area. He had not clocked the speed of his Serpent, but those would soon be meaningless when he ascended and their abilities grew once more.
