Chapter 475 14,000,000 Angels
With Rowan's growing understanding of Intent, he tried to decipher the method his city of Sheol was burning away the Intent in the bodies of his Angel, this process was quite special and was a superior version of what the Chaos Door did for him.
Already he could see that the only Consciousness Pillar that was free from the Intent of Chaos was reverting. His face that had been etched on the pillars was slowly fading away, it would take a while, maybe a decade or more, but the Intent that was taken away would return.
Except for the Intent of Chaos, Rowan also noticed another one that was slowly returning, but much more slowly, it was red and slimy and filled him with a deep sense of disgust. If the Chaos Door had not purged his consciousness pillar old the Intent entwined with it, then he would not have realized that he did not only have one seemingly immortal intent inside his body but two.
He recognized the other one as his father's. Rowan contemplated this issue for a while. Although it was not as powerful as the Intent from Chaos, the fact that this second Intent could regenerate itself meant the power levels of his father were far beyond that of a god.
Although he knew this before, he was a bit excited, because he was finally learning about powers of such high level, and with that understanding would come a way to combat them. The mystery of his father would not hide itself for long, as Rowan strongly suspected that this man would no longer come with a subtle approach, he would come seeking blood, and Rowan would have to be the strongest in this universe to combat him.
He was not afraid, even though he knew that his father was most likely gathering forces to be used against him, Rowan would bet on himself any day that given enough time he would inevitably become the one who would have the last laugh.
This immortal Intent was a source of a hidden danger that he needed to solve, as such was not the case with the Angels, every Intent that was being consumed was not returning, and this should be Intent that was on a similar level to that of Chaos because Rowan had experimented with using the Intent of the Berserker to cleanse this taint, but it was like trying to scoop away the ocean using a tablespoon.
Rowan regretted the fact that he could not use the City of Sheol to cleanse the Intent of Chaos on his body, but he suspected that he would need deeper control of the city in order to allow it to affect his second bloodline.
As of this moment, his bloodlines were linked, but each of them was distinct, and although he had tried to push his Chambers closer to the city of Sheol, it turned out to be quite impossible.
This Nascent Primordial bloodline had a unique property that pushed everything away from it, and Rowan suspected that his Angels could only touch the city walls because of their innate spiritual nature. Angels appeared to be made of flesh, but their nature was closer to light and fire.
If the Angels of Char were coal, awakening them turned the coal into living flames.
During the digestion of the Soul of Dao Ma, there were many new Angels of Char that were created, their numbers were almost ten times as much as those created while digesting the soul of Erohim.
Presently, there were 14,000,000 Angels of Char, with almost 300 Angels of Char at the potential Sovereign level and above, although there was no new Angel of Char with the power level of that single Primordial Angel at the front. Whatever that Angel was, it was unique, the only one of its kind.
Rowan had hoped that whatever changes his City was having on the Angels of Char would have been completed by now, but it turned out to be a process that might take a long amount of time.
Rowan was not too worried about this affecting his plans to fuse his Angels to Archangel, even if they become corrupt once more, it would be easier to cleanse them of that corruption because they could directly touch the walls of the city.
Their ascension to the rank of Archangel would invalidate any drawbacks they might receive if they were corrupted again.
With that plan in mind, he would be awakening two thousand more Angels, but he would not be focusing on those of the Sovereign Rank and above.
Rowan had a premonition that if he allowed these powerful Angels to fully cleanse the Intent in their bodies before awakening them, they would be able to directly skip past the stage of maturation and proceed directly to fusion.
Plus, he could not risk awakening the Angels with the greatest potential this early until he was truly assured that he would prevail against his enemies.
Rowan understood that Angels were incredibly difficult to kill, but they were not as durable as him. If he was ever to face threats that would overwhelm him, then it would be a great shame to lose the Angels with the greatest potential.
This might be harsh to say, but Rowan considered every Angel that was below a Soveringn to be Fodder. In the grand scheme of things they would not matter to him, and would only hold dominion inside the material universe. Outside of it, they would be almost useless to him.
He was still growing and was not powerful enough to protect all his Angels if a truly powerful enemy attacked him, he would rather the Angels he lost now were not the greatest in his arsenal.
So for now, while inside the material universe, he would be using these Angels while saving his bigger guns.
He would also be increasing his Territory with another two thousand four hundred Soul Crystals, pushing him closer to completing the Second Great Circle, and leaving 500 Soul Crystals behind for emergencies.
Rowan would require a massive number of Soul Crystals to complete the second Great Circle, he had already used the full scale of his Knowledge Well to analyze how much Soul Crystal he would need and a conservative estimate placed it at 100,000.
