Chapter 991 Doom Star
Rowan had intentionally left his Soul Mountains untouched for all this while so he could push forward at once. Knowing that his bloodlines would require greater amounts of soul energy with each upgrade, and now with the Supreme Circles, that number would reach an unreasonable amount.
The Soul Crystals he had accumulated after the war and the time in the Frozen Waste had reached an egregious number, and it would have to be enough for what he was going to do in the near future. At least he hoped it would, each Supreme Circle was technically a condensation of every technique in existence, distilling all their strengths into a single form, such a technique would require a stupendous amount of resources to complete. Yet if there was anyone who would ever complete the Supreme Circle, it was Rowan.
There was a roar like a fierce storm and the world was consumed in darkness, the red flowers that had bloomed over the entire world vanished. The last traces that his mother had ever existed in the outside world were no more.
Her absence left a void.
Rowan rose in the air, every trace that he had been sad or angered was gone, and there was only focus left, that was the state Old Man Seed and Elura saw when they returned to him. He had reversed his appearance to become more mundane, his diamond-like hair replaced with blond, and his prismatic eyes now green, his features were sharpened in some areas and softened in others, making his impossible beauty become something tolerable.
"Thank you for your gift Elura, and your sacrifice, I will not forget it." Rowan bowed towards her, and she nodded stiffly, before turning away and vanishing after she whispered certain words to Old Man Seed.
The old man nodded and regarded Rowan for a while, he closed his eyes as if he were deliberating on a decision, and he finally nodded,
"Now you did it," Old Man Seed grinned, "The vaults of her endless wealth have been opened to you, and paired with mine, then there should be no reason that you cannot complete your Circles in record time. Your soul is powerful, what you require is resources. However, the first thing you will need to do is to activate the four Circles you have manifested, and they cannot be done in this place, the commotion would be too much and you would lead all of reality to your doorstep, it will have to be done over there!"
"It is alive?" Rowan asked,
"In a manner," Old Man Seed frowned, "But the devastation that heralded its birth fractured the Will it contained, and so it could never take a singular Will. It is a good thing that happened, or else this entity would be at least at the eighth-dimensional level... a truly frightening thought."
As Rowan watched, multiple storms arose from the star creating more eyes on the surface, and the frown lines on Old Man Seed's face deepened,
"I cannot hide from its gaze for long. I mentioned its name to call attention to me, and in a short while, it would break through my barrier, but by then I expect you to find your way into it while I hold its gaze. You will not have long."
Now it was the turn for Rowan to frown, at this point in time, he did not want to be near any creature or entity with such a power level, especially one that was as terrifying as this. But there must be good reasons why Old Man Seed would want him to take such a place,
"Why should I enter such a terrifying place?"
"Great question Romion, even if it is the only possible question you can ask. Its simply because only inside this place can you find your equals."
Rowan looked at Old Man Seed with a weird glow in his eyes, "I have no equal."
Old Man Seed simply smiled, "Then this would burst your bubble."
