This action of his seemed to stun the voice as with the roar from Rowan that hung in the air for an impossibly long time, every layer of his body began to vibrate.
From his roiling Essence, golden bones, and Absolute flesh, a golden fire began to emerge that held no trace of heat but force!
This was not fire, but pure potential energy, in a form that exceeded all concepts of energy that could be measured in the universe, even the Forge began to groan as the effort of containing this power was straining valuable resources.
Rowan was almost held in place with awe when he examined the true form of Eruption. He realized that he had barely scratched the surface of this power, and the methods he used when employing it were so crude it almost made him laugh, it was like he was given a nuclear missile and he had been using it as a spear.
"YOU ARE IGNORANT, CHILD OF CHAOS. BEING RECKLESS WITH YOUR GIFT IS NOT WISDOM. YOU WERE GIVEN WINGS TO FLY, YET IN YOUR FOOLISHNESS YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE FLIGHT USING YOUR BARE ARMS. AGAINST THE MIGHT OF THE AGES WHAT CAN YOUR PUNY FLESH ACCOMPLISH?"
This voice was grating on his senses, but Rowan observed that its intensity had reduced, and he ignored it. This voice revealed its lack of Rowan's true ability and mindset by the statement it just made.
There was no way Rowan would ever give up an ability like Eruption.
Its versatility was matchless and having understood a bit about how it truly worked, he was more firm in his decision, he would be keeping this power, but in order to do so, he would have to change it, for now, it was unclean.
It was important to note that although there had been slight diversions in Rowan's plan, he had anticipated something like this occurring and he had duly planned for it. Although he did not have the famed omniscience of a Primordial, with his Knowledge Well, he could at least anticipate 92% of the possible outcomes of his actions during the forging of his Destroyer.
He just had to believe in his vision and make the best of every stage that arose as he forged ahead.
Eruption began to leech from his body more and more slowly as Rowan could not easily separate this ability that had become tied to every part of his body, and if he did not find a way to quickly resolve it, like a stretched rubber band, Eruption would snap back and re-merge with his body.
Rowan did not have to ask before Eva understood what to do next and she quickly alerted the Sovereigns, "Release the Seeded Worlds!"
Suriel and Erudiel opened their wings and began to release the Seeded Worlds they had been keeping in their possession, each of them was as tiny as an apple, previously these planets were glowing with golden energy as a vast amount of Rowan's Essence flowed through them, but now they were different.
