Rowan is a predator, he was so young, yet his ledger was already dripping red with the blood of countless billions.
After becoming an Ouroboros Serpent his nature had turned cold, and he did not turn bloodthirsty, only apathetic. He had fought a hundred battles and won every single one, he was sure of his strength and he feared nothing. This was not pride, this was simply confidence.
Every action he took was carefully planned, because he knew he was very powerful and to kill him would be extremely difficult but he still understood that his downfall would only come if he was careless.
He was powerful but he was not invincible. He just needed time to become one. No one else could make a claim like this except Rowan.
Despite his confidence in his powers, not for a single moment did he delude himself into believing that he was just fighting Trion and its gods, that was just a trap laid down by his father because if he was in the position of his father, this would be the action he would take—Find a scapegoat that could be seen and observed by all.
In fact, make the presence of this scapegoat to be very loud. How did the old man do it, well he announced to all the universe that a tiny Major World with a single God King had plans to become a Supreme World!
Not only that he also sweetened the deal by making a unique resource to emerge on this planet, Elura Shards. A source of power that could grant wishes.
This move was successful, Trion was considered the most powerful Major World in the universe, and for the last million years, they had been fighting a mock battle with the Supreme World of the mages and the Great Abyss.
When Rowan had first heard of this war, its scale had shocked him, over the last million years untold billions would have died in these blood-soaked fields. With his present vision, he knew that number was laughable.
If he wanted he could ten times more in a single year. This war with the other Supreme World was a sham, but it did something right, it drew attention.
It was bait, and his father was fishing.
Rowan would not forget that his true enemy was always his father, and in this game of chess that extends from the past over to the future, then his chess piece should not only be properly placed in an accurate location but in an accurate time as well.
He might be behind by a million moves, but he was a fast learner and he was sure that his father had noticed.
This part was even more crucial. Forget the gods, forget the demons or Archmages… the true battle of the strong was fought across time.
The ascension to a state of Will had shown him the true face of his father, and even if the Reflection did not control the power of Time, he must surely understand it to a ridiculous degree.
Rowan knew he could not fight with his father using knowledge but with power. He was young and strong with limitless potential, and the fact that he was a variant that even his father might have never expected.
The only reason he could rebel against his father was that Rowan Carter's Soul Origin from Earth served as a bridge that linked the past of Rowan Kuranes to the present, severing a million years of time that was stolen from him.
There were many mysteries on Trion, and if he wanted to be careful, he should stay afar and slowly investigate this planet, sending his armies over to slowly weaken it while waiting for the hand his father would play.
Just ten Archangels alone should be able to battle Trion to a standstill, if he sent a hundred, then it would not matter how powerful the gods were or the weapons they controlled. They would all be slaughtered like lambs.
Although that would be a great method of waging war, that would be for the Rowan of before who did not understand the intricacies of time.
If he could create powerful armies that could raze Trion to the ground in a single moment, was he willing to believe that his father's forces were just these few 'gods' on the surface?
Trion was nothing but bait!
A million years of time had been stolen from him and although
he had snapshots of his memories of those periods, they were
mostly focused on his torture and nothing more, his mother
Elura had promised him his inheritance and he believed that
that inheritance must include the time that was stolen from
him.
The only link to that time was Maeve, and if he knew that fact
his father might also know it too, but Rowan was willing to risk
the process of getting close to his handmaiden of the past.
In chess, it was perfectly okay to sacrifice a pawn to get to the
king.
Knowing that Trion was bait, he realized that it was impossible
that his father did not have other projects that he was focused
on. freeweɓnøvel.com
This was especially concerning because Rowan had not
forgotten the vision he received when he was asleep the first
time he began to digest the soul of Erohim. This was very
important because it unknowingly showed him a secret that
was perhaps the greatest opening to this battle.
He had seen a hand that was struggling to enter the material
