Watching the Eye of Time fight was a revelation unto itself and Rowan knew that he should be able to do something similar with his command over Intent and other extra-dimensional forces, the only catch would be that he needed his dimensional body to do so, he could not be like the Eye of Time who was able to perform such miracles using such a fragile shell as it occupied.
He might not know much about these Ascendants, but he understood that they were both supreme geniuses in their own right, and their example had shown him exactly what he needed to avoid when fighting the Eye, although it was a shame that at the moment this was not what he needed from these Ascendants, but more time, something they seem not to be able to get him for much longer.
Rowan sighed, it would seem that this next move he would be making could not be avoided, he would have to summon Calamity and break the balance.
The merger of his dimension had reached the peak, and the road in his mental space was nearly completed, there should be no reason he should summon Calamity, but Rowan's instincts were screaming at him that he did not have as much time as he thought.
No longer hesitating he pushed his left hand forward and whispered, "Queen of Calamity, heed the call of your creator, and shine your ebony light on the dark road, call forth the gloaming."
From his palm the face of the Shiik appeared, it stretched the metallic skin of his palm until she tore through it, and like a tornado of darkness she erupted into the world, and her Aura was amazingly at the sixth dimensional level.
The Shiik had reached the fifth-dimensional level without much interference from Rowan, but that changed after he had returned.
She would be one of his weapons in this war, and it was necessary to draw out her potential as quickly as possible, in the months before this day, he had pushed the connection between the Shiik and the Temple Maidens deeper than before, and her greater powers were not a mistake. The Shiik traveled to the highest heaven on a stream of black smoke, her ebony body piercing through space and time like a mirage and instantly appearing in the area where the eyes of the realm had once resided and then she unleashed her dark light.
Emerging from her body were mystical phantoms of the transformed Temple Maidens, each of them resembling wisps of red flame.
She took the form of a black sun, and in its center was a red light which were the millions of Temple Maidens that were bowing down and worshipping her even as mystical chanting emerged from their lips, and from the earth, the Shiik appeared to have become an eye, the eye of calamities.
From all corners of the realm came a sound like the tolling of bells and with her at the center, seven Calamity Suns rose, and their darkness began to disperse the chaos surrounding the realm created by the clash between Rowan and the Eye of Time.
They seemed to have always been present but had been hidden behind the veil of chaos unleashed by the battle, and as Rowan had realized, the Calamity Suns were powerful, yet seemed to be mindless. If they were they could have easily torn through the veil and into the realm once more, as easily as the Ascendant Suns had been able to do.
