Chapter 310 Emerging (part 3)
At this time, Rowan had reached the peak of the Incarnation State using the Avatar of Eve bloodline, and the only reason he was not breaking past the first Great Circle was because of Eva, who unlike him, had to take a while to recover from the strain of ascending to the peak of a particular stage in mere minutes.
He did not have valuable time to wait for her recovery, and he did not need to, he was mere moments before he would fall into slumber, and he did not know how long he would be sleeping, he could not carelessly upgrade his powers into the Second Great Circle, which he knew would drastically change his powers, he would need to understand the risks and the powers of that realm when he was fully conscious.
But he had to make a statement.
Inside his Palace of Ice, there were now seven Soul Crystals, each of them representing a million soul points apiece. He would have wished for more, but he was pressed for time.
He Fast Traveled to the top of the Divine Palace of Erohim where all around him was filled with the milky white light of the Astrolabe pushing the Palace far into the void of space, and by now he had already escaped the Empire controlled Space and was deep into the galaxy.
There were brief flashes of light that should represent different heavenly bodies flashing by very rapidly as the Astrolabe pushed him with a speed beyond cognition, and soon he entered into the darkness, as he finally escaped the galaxy that housed both the Empire and many other authorities, and into the void between galaxies and he stopped the flow of energy into the Astrolabe and he ground to a stop.
Disregarding physics, the Divine palace of Erohim went from moving at speeds far surpassing the speed of light to a screeching halt, and Rowan could finally see the entire universe displayed all around him.
It was said you would understand more about life by walking a thousand miles than by reading a thousand books.
Rowan believed that sentiment at this moment.
Before him was displayed all the glories of the universe, and he felt his heart ache when he remembered how he got here with each step he took. The opportunities afforded to him by his bloodline made him unique, for who else at his current level could see such grand sights and perform such miraculous feats.
His bloodline made him stand at a height that would disregard most of creation, and he was only getting stronger.
He recalled standing on top of a mountain at one time not too long ago, and catching sight of the land below him, and he had felt small, and not long after, he stood outside a planet, and he saw more of the land than he could ever hold in his hands, and in a shorter time than he had expected, he had seen the entire breadth of the Empire when he was at the Covenant base.
He saw a world that was as massive as a sun, it was the first sight of a Major World, and that sight had floored him, it filled him with longing for life and adventure, and gave him the conviction to be strong and keep his eyes directly at a goal, to live without the fear of control by any powers or dominions.
This was a goal that should be far off from most beings in the Universe, but not him. If he was willing to sacrifice, he could truly stand at the top one day.
So he made the decision never to falter, never to fear, to be bold and always focus on tomorrow, he was about to be tested and prove to all why he was deserving of that honor.
Now he could see the full galaxy that harbored the Entire Empire, and from here the glorious Empire with all the gods were nothing but bigger specks in the sea of endless specks of light drifting in an endless sea.
This was the Nebular Galaxy, a supermassive galaxy that held two other major worlds, and his eyes perused the untold billions of light inside the galaxy, and his Knowledge Well interrupted his musing by telling him there were 458 billion stars.
The entire Empire did not even cover a millionth of the galaxy, and if he broadened his vision he could see many more galaxies around him, and from here he could count at least a hundred of such galaxies. There were an untold number of stars and the worlds filling them all.
Yet in the incredible immensity of such a magnitude, they were meaningless to him as his sight stayed at that small section of the galaxy where he could still see the joy and fear and sorrow and compassion and love and so many emotions in his mother's eyes, and as she held his broken clone, he could still feel the warmth of her breath on his face, and he smiled at her.
"I will show you what is beyond everything." He said silently.
Then he opened his hands and hovering above it were seven soul crystals, and he looked inside of him and selected seventy Angels of Char and he manifested them all before him.
"Maaasssteerrrr!" A small form streaked with lightning slammed into his body where it rubbed itself on his body before proceeding to fly around him, it was Archimedes, the lightning Kirin, that he picked up along the way, with its knowledge of the safest route through the galaxy, Rowan had been able to chart his way using Astrolabe without falling into any pitfalls along the way.
Another small form followed behind, flapping his little wings, "Wait for me… Archie."
"Hmm, slowpoke, are you sure you are a dragon? I could fly better than you when I was just a few seconds old!"
"That can't be right." the small form muttered to himself before calling out, "Hey, that's not fair, I'm doing quite well." Vraegar puffed out his chest, and followed Archimedes in circling Rowan's body. "Hello, father, where are we?"
Their attentions was soon drawn to the crystals in Rowan's hand, and they nearly crashed from their flight as the energy emanating from it was both dangerous and alluring, they almost drooled even as fear and hunger emanated from every cell in their bodies.
The two strong sensations they were receiving at the same time froze them until they resembled statues.
