Chapter 918 A New Birth
The Will Holders were still digesting what just happened, especially the Third Prince whose eyes were opened in shock and horror, not for the death of Golgoth, but because of what Rowan had said before he killed him.
"Who are you?" He screamed, "You cannot be him, you are not Erohim!"
Rowan remained silent, if he said a word it might clue the Third Prince that he was indeed not Erohim, but the battle was as much psychological and physical. He had been able to discover a hidden haven where the last of Erohim Will had hidden away from the Reflections, and with it, he was able to strike a blow against the mental state of the Third Prince, and when his head was filled with doubts and questioning the decisions Rowan had been making all this while, Rowan attacked.
From eleven Will Holders, Rowan had shrunk their numbers down to six, and while the Third Prince, Silas, and Aeris were still reeling from the apparent revelation from Rowan, with Minerva sliding backward, the two God Emperors left behaved like the machine they were and did not stop attacking Rowan.
Sadly they had access to only a basic form of Will, which should just be a Will of Force Amplification, an extremely powerful Will to be sure, but against a power factory like Rowan, it was a bit too basic.
Rowan did not move quickly, like the mortal he was, he sought to conserve his energy, as the two God Emperors were rapidly closing the gap. Both of them leaped towards him, shooting across the distance and Rowan met them head-on.
He angled his weapon sideways and caught the descent of both of their blades. Powered by the Aetherium from the Third Prince, their weapon bit deep into Envy, nearly cutting the weapon in three places, but it trapped their blades inside Envy and Pride.
Rowan twisted his weapon, pulling the sword away from one of the God Emperors and making the other one stumble as he stubbornly held his weapon. Not giving them the chance to recover, Rowan's right hand spread out like six massive tentacles and slammed into the bodies of the two God Emperors, and lifted them in the air.
His serpents wasted no time in tearing through the armor and in the next moment, blood began to pour out from the gaps in the metal as the sound of chewing increased and Rowan walked past the Emperors hanging in the air held aloft by his serpents.
The true creators of Abomination, the Second Reflection, arose, a gigantic mass of flesh that soon sprouted a hundred arms that began making arcane gestures, its thousands of mouths opened and screamed words of forbidden spells.
Rowan seemed not to be aware of the changing state of the Reflection, his empty eyes were only focused on the handle of the Pride left in his hand. He had reached for the shattered weapons and picked a fragment of Envy and he held them both.
"You have done well, Envy, Pride, you have drank the blood of true Immortals and have fought by my side as a mortal. Don't fear, for although you stand at the edge of the darkness, I shall not let you fall. You are granted this grace, come fight by my side once more, for the battle is not over."
The Third Prince roared, "Minerva, don't you dare stand back. We go all in!"
For the first time since the battle began the Third Prince began to step forward, no longer willing to stand behind, he clasped his hands together and when he opened them, he was holding a greatsword. This blade was more than nine feet long, and it resembled glass and had hundreds of cracks running down its length.
This weapon that once belonged to Erohim was a true fragment of a Primordial weapon, "I don't care about the secrets you are hiding, your existence ends now!"
The forbidden spell from Second hundred towards Rowan, in addition to Minerva thrusting forth a demonic enchantment that was powered by nearly ninety percent of the Aethruim in her body, Third was a few feet away from Rowan as he swung his blade to tear him in two...
Rowan smiled as he channeled his Destroyer into the fragments of his weapon. The fragments shuddered and a new life erupted from them.
Everything went white.
