Chapter 432 Eruption
Observing the details on the page, he closed the Record with a snap and levitated into the air as his eyes were closed and he absorbed all the new details and understanding about the Berserker Aspect at the Transcendent Level, allowing it to fill his consciousness.
This was a necessary process for him so he could create the Transcendent Level of Nosferatu for Vraegar to use, only then would he allow the dragon to attempt reaching the Third Great Circle, after that, he would be unleashing the dragon on his enemies to train him, and he had the first target in mind.
The Attributes he gained from a Transcendent grade Berserker Aspect were secondary, but he noticed that he gained an increased amount of Spirit Attribute which indicated that the higher your level, the more dependent on Spirit your technique became.
With a greater Spirit comes a greater Soul, but since he no longer needed the Spirit Attribute, they were added to his Bloodline as food. He also noticed the terminologies used by each bloodline when they devoured the Spirit attributes.
For the Palace of Ice, the Primordial Record wrote: Spirit has been sacrificed to the Palace of Ice.
Rowan had always had a feeling of disquietness whenever he saw that term, but he pushed it aside because he did not have enough information about this bloodline.
With the new revelations from Eva, it became clear however that the Roots of the Palace of Ice did not come from her, but from someone else. A being of light, that if he was not wrong was most likely a Primordial or had powers equal to one.
The Sheol Bloodline on the other hand had a different message: Spirit has submitted itself to the Authority of Sheol. Your Bloodline Grows.
This was a clear sign that he was gaining a tangible benefit from collecting the Spirit, and also they were submitting to his bloodline authority and not being sacrificed.
Also unlike The Avatar of Eve bloodline where an unknown figure had threatened him, Sheol has shown no indication that anyone else was linked to this bloodline.
He hoped to push his Ouroboros Bloodline to this state and make them truly his own.
Leaving these matters for the future, but still doing all he could to plan ahead, he continued analyzing his growing Aspect.
The Transcendent Grade Berserker Aspect came with some nifty new tricks. His Berserker Clones were now more powerful, each of them was now nearly indistinguishable from a real person. They had bones and blood, their heartbeats were strong and he could send them to live among mortals or Dominators and it would be hard to know they were not truly alive.
Rowan was sure no other Berserker Clones could have this same feature because they were born from the endless vitality of his Ouroboros bloodline, making their foundations incomparable to any other, plus the Aether he had access to was getting closer to those that existed during the Primordial Era.
A Berserker Clone could now unleash all the Berserker Skills without any limit. At the Transcendent Level Rowan could begin using his Aether to power the technique by a limited amount thereby doubling the power.
There were also other new developments that he was eager to test during battle.
Yet all these changes paled in comparison to a small shift on his Primordial Record that would easily be missed.
Eruption had grown from 16% to 19%.
This change almost felt minimal, as it was only a growth of three percent, but the power it freed up for him to use was enormous. He had resigned himself to keep Eruption at just 16% until he reached the Incarnation State or higher, but he was amazed that the Transcendent grade Berserker Aspect could achieve this.
Maybe it was because, as he developed this Aspect, he received a great amount of information, which was a form of inheritance from this Aspect. This information was a guideline on how to utilize power in an increasingly efficient manner.
That valuable experience was also being transmitted to other parts of his abilities and enhancing his overall body control.
Eruption worked by burning his vitality. To anyone else, this technique would be quite useless, and no one would willfully practice it, even if they did, the power they would gain would not be worth the cost.
A decreased lifespan was the best result, sudden death from a failed vitality was the common result.
Rowan was different, for others, this was a curse, but for him, this technique was the foundation that he would use to battle gods.
For one, his vitality was inexhaustible, this was a concept that only his Ouroboros Bloodline could manifest in the material universe, for they represented infinity.
If eruption was a furnace that would give out more heat without any limits as you fed it more vitality, then Rowan's unique ability completely breaks the system as he had an inexhaustible vitality to give.
With all the vitality he pumped into Eruption, he could gain massive amounts of energy that he could channel into any part of his body to increase his strength, agility, or his constitution. Theoretically, the Energy it gave him could be increased to infinity.
Up until now, Rowan was always careful not to use this technique to battle opponents he could not quickly win against because there was a drawback to this technique that came from his bloodline.
He could burn his vitality without any limits, but there was a timer. Every second he was using Eruption he was drawing closer to madness and his bloodline rebelling against his control.
If he was not careful then the vision where he devoured the universe was not a distant possibility, it was a certainty. Eruption was a skill that was born from that crazy act and the Primordial Record left it behind for it was truly the greatest weapon he had in his arsenal, but it was also his greatest source of present danger.
Every percentage he gained in Eruption would lead to him being able to utilize the technique for longer, and also increase the amount of Vitality he was able to burn enhancing the power it fed to him.
His upcoming battle with a god, no longer seemed like a far-fetched dream but a certain possibility with this enhanced weapon in his pocket, and bringing his Berserker Aspect to the peak was now the short-term goal.
