When the Lost Flames reached the peak of Tier 5 which was the Transcendental Grade, it could no longer attain the next step of his evolution which was to be the Immortal Grade (Tier 6) where he should be able to call on his Tribulation and become a full Immortal Aspect.
At first, Rowan had found it odd, but he recalled the message the Primordial Record had shown him of the Lost Flames when he activated this Omnipotent Aspect.
The Lost Flame: Before Time and Space was born, Asteraoth claimed Light from the First Flame and he left the burning flame to be without light for countless eternities.
Asteraoth became Light.
In the twilight of the Primordial Era, Endirius stole what was hidden deep in the bowels of the Primordial, and claimed the Flames itself.
Endirius became a Ruler of Fire.
Yet Endirius saw something more in the Flames, a hidden spark that was once thought to be lost, ignored even by the Primordial, but Endirius saw promise and great power in this spark.
To hide this great discovery Endirius Separated this spark into six forms. You now control the first of that form.
Take heed, Endirius gaze searches for you.
———NewW novels updates at novelhall.com this hint given by the Primordial Record, Rowan knew that the Lost Flames were not complete, Endirius the Supreme Magus had separated these flames and without the rest of them, Lost would be stuck at Tier 5 forever, remaining a child.
Rowan had no problem with this, not everything around him should be geared towards the pursuit of power. The Lost Flames brought light and laughter and healing wherever he went, and Rowan would not push him beyond his limits.
He was surprised that the Lost Flames had begun to learn how to manage his abilities in new ways while learning from the Sages. His two abilities Divergence and Convergence were extremely versatile abilities and even though Lost was not entirely focused on exploring the depths of his abilities, he had been able to learn some truly powerful applications of his flames.
Shattering the strings of beads around his neck, Lost held the forty heavy beads in front of him, and then he spread his arms apart, dispersing all the beads so they would touch all corners of the incoming slash attack, and when the beads impacted against it, Lost applied Divergence and he exploded the beads.
Perhaps it was the impossible amount of energy ravaging his body, but Lost Perception further slowed and also broadened, and for the first time he could see the true scale of the battle.
He saw Rowan tearing reality in two, he saw the entire universe bending to his Will and he saw his enemy streaking toward Rowan with murder in his eyes.
Lost looked at his creator with awe in his eyes, he saw as his father held reality apart with his two hands and the desire to be like him blossomed in his heart and he knew what he had to do.
Lost called on everything he had inside him and closed his left hand, in that single instant all the load of Convergence was borne by his right hand, and his body began to shake to pieces, beginning from his fingertips, but he had enough time.
He shifted his left hand, imitating Rowan but he could not stretch it apart wide enough, but it was angled directly at the incoming Third Prince, and Lost shot a thick pillar of white flame that slammed against the Third Prince, it halted a few inches away from his body unable to touch him, but the pressure from the flames slowed him down.
Lost screamed aloud and opened himself up to Convergence, enveloping the entire slash of the Third Prince and in a single instant drew everything inside of him, not holding it for a single moment but channeling it to his left hand.
Lost entire right hand disappeared, and his chest cracked open, down to his left hand, following the trail of energy that was passing through his body.
The pillar of flames that surrounded the Third Prince multiplied a hundred times over, and the entire dimension was painted white with the glow from the flames of Lost.
The Third Prince pushed through the flames that were slowly burning through his barrier, and as the brightness of the flames increased to an impossible luminosity and heat, a tiny spark of the Lost flames touched the Aura of the Third Prince and Lost grinned.
With his childish voice, he screamed, "Witness the power of the First Flame in Creation."
Lost applied Convergence through the spark the instant it touched the Third Prince and his body slammed to a halt, as the impossible happened.
The Lost Flames began to consume the energy of the Third Prince.
The two Powers who had collapsed turned their gaze to the confrontation above as they fell silent, this silence rippled across the entire dimension, as a Transcendental State being, someone that was barely at the Earth god level, held back an abomination that could shatter a universe.
"What madness is this?" Minerva growled, her massive spider body retreating further into the darkness.
Eva at the bottom of the dimension, feebly opened her single eye and she gasped, "Foolish child, what are you doing?"
In her ears, she heard a soft voice that she strained to listen to, "Protecting all of you from the bad man."
