Rowan held his head and he groaned. Like the previous memories he had that seemed to have happened yet, he had to recollection of, this one was longer and hit him like a brick, and what he found most interesting about it all was how deeply he could read the thoughts and emotions of everyone in the memory, it was as if he had become a part of everyone there. "How strange, all of these pieces fit into an overall whole that I am not seeing yet."
There were many strange occurrences going on with the retrieval of his consciousness, making him reconsider his plans every time he made discoveries, but Rowan had learned to always keep his plan fluid, in this manner there was no way he would be suffering excessive losses when things did not go his way as they most likely would.
Peering into his consciousness with his powerful soul he observed that he now had access to new abilities, and it was an unexpected one—Hollow Forge.
Of the three Chambers he had gained from the Palace of Ice, Hollow Forge had lots of promise, but Rowan rarely used it for anything else but for its utility aspect. Although not meant to be a weapon, in a pinch Rowan could choose to throw his enemies into it and separate them into their basest component.
The greatest use of Hollow Forge he had used up to this moment was in the processing of entire galaxies as he searched for the materials needed to forge whatever he needed.
The appearance of the Hollow Forge drastically changed the plans he would be making going forward, and Rowan wondered if there was an overall purpose to the abilities he was unlocking.
From his feet, his body began to crumble to dust. He had become an Ascendant and therefore he had no need for mortal flesh, and since his Ascension was extremely peculiar, his new state of being was extremely strange.
For other Explorers, they would have six Natal Treasures, but he chose to have only one, and they would merge their Natal Treasure to a single dead continent, but Rowan had merged his Natal Treasure to billions of living individuals.
With the destruction of his fleshy body increasing, Rowan placed both of his hands together and made a weird hand sign, and the space in front of him parted and then something that resembled a miniature volcano emerged from the space crack.
Rowan accessed it for a brief moment and looked around him before making a motion with his dissipating finger and his Hollow Forge was tossed for miles before it landed in the ocean and disappeared into the dark depths.
The burst of information about the ocean's composition surprised Rowan and his eyes widened before he collapsed entirely to dust.
