Chapter 1169: Changing History

Chapter 1169: Changing History Rowan thought that despite the many flaws of Shisu when the time came he was decisive. It was not an easy choice to make, and although the conclusion was clear and Shisu would eventually have to give in to the Undying, not many would be able to quickly see this and make a decision. "Hmm... good choice, the Undying snapped his fingers and Shisu vanished to reappear at his side, another snap of his fingers gathered the Hate generated by the deaths of all the mortals in this kingdom and he pushed it inside the orb in Shisu's belly, pausing a bit to look at the hate already gathered inside Shisu. With a wave of his hand, Shisu vanished, sent to an unknown location, and then he thrust the spear down on the mountain once more, knowing his time on the mortal plane was short and soon he would be blocked by other parties, and this time there was no barrier to hold against the reflection of this Primordial weapon. The Mountain of Mourning was shattered before a fiery explosion erupted from its base, similar to a supermassive volcano thousands of miles wide. The explosion shook the entire realm, and from its ruins, the first Calamity Gods arose, born from the darkness found deep in the earth, and the massive number of deaths around the realm. The Kingdoms were made to suppress the darkness in the earth, but the Undying had broken the balance, giving the Calamity Suns a source of power that had been kept outside their bounds since the beginning of their conflict. In the heavens, the brightness of the Ascendant Suns dimmed. There was a mighty roar that emerged from the heavens above and the earth below that made the Undying shudder and nearly scattered Rowan's consciousness, but the present state of his soul was able to handle the trauma of this level and he kept himself in one piece. The Undying looked at all of these and he vanished, but for a brief moment he seemed to glance at Rowan's position with what felt like suspicion, and then he left. It was not long after that great changes began to occur, as the Ascendants Suns above suddenly began to shine with a furious white glow that swept throughout the realm, burning a host of the Calamity Gods that had emerged from the earth into ashes, and making the survivors flee below the ground. The ashes left behind from their passing were molded and used as a base to create the next sets of mortals to inhabit the earth, but that was just the beginning of the changes. Rowan fell into deep thoughts for the moment, letting the events that followed play out. He had a rough idea of what would be occurring next and he did not particularly care for it. At the end there, he was sure that the Undying had detected his presence, but it was unknown if he was aware of who he truly was. Rowan could not be sure, but this was one factor he had to be careful about going forward. His speculation about the Primordial weapon was true. At this time, Berrion had much firmer control of it, and either these events or many other similar ones would have caused his hold to become broken, and no longer able to call upon the power of the weapon, he was essentially only using it as a sharp spear. Rowan was lucky he did not meet this version of Berrion when he entered Doom Star, else he would not have survived being attacked by the weapon. The last cry that resounded over the heavens and the earth might have stumped others, but Rowan recognized it for what it was, it was the Will of this realm. The deterioration of the Ascendants as Rowan had thought was not natural, and although his presence might have destabilized this realm further, there was already someone else doing so long before him, and what was saddening about it all was that this person was supposed to be the savior of the Ascendant, instead, he was the one who seemed to not be able to wait for them to fall. The events he had come for had ended, but before he could leave, he had to start making Shisu pay for his act of threatening his children. The Ascendant might have done more deplorable acts in his life, but Rowan lived in a glass house and he did not throw stones. This revenge was for harming his children first and foremost. Rowan opened his eyes wide, and the dials in them began to spin backward and once again, Shisu appeared inside his library, a pale and sickly youth, but this time, events would not go as he had planned, and Rowan allowed the Soul of Shisu to truly understand what was about to happen next and he did not silence the cries of fear from the Ascendant. Not caring for the state of the mortal body of Shisu, because Rowan would always be refreshing him with vitality, he pushed deeper into the Memory of Shisu, until the fateful day when he would be giving the Blood Gas to be tested. Shisu with a smirk was about to announce the new feature of using real people as incubators for their weapon, but suddenly he was struck dumb, unable to speak, instead what he said was that instead of the one hundred crates of Blood Gas that he had been supplying to the army, instead he would be increasing it to one thousand. Smiling at the amazed looks in the eyes of the general, Shisu who intended to leave for the palace to begin his torture of his mother now insisted on staying behind with the army and watching the demonstration from a few miles away using his mobile laboratory. Blood Gas was produced using Shisu's flesh, bones, and blood, and every single one that he made weakened him and caused great pain. With his mental fortitude he could easily handle the creation of a hundred crates which usually contain two hundred pieces of Blood Gas orbs, but a thousand crates every month would be hell on earth. This was just the start of what Rowan intended for Shisu, and he applied himself to reversing every decision that the prince made. After he made Blood Gas, he contacted the Undying using a ritual that he had founded, but with Rowan's influence he no longer contacted the Undying, instead, he began focusing all his efforts on ridding the world of Calamities and helping his kingdom prosper. The soul of Shisu for the past few months that these changes had been ongoing had never stopped screaming. As a Sixth dimensional Will Holder with control over Memory/Mind, everything that was happening here could be considered real, and if he were to leave Doom Star and head to reality outside, he could place this present Dimension inside the Nothingness, thereby manifesting it in reality. Although this was extremely unwise, due to how time was structured outside of reality. Shisu would not be able to bring the past to the present, especially if that past had been edited as much as Rowan was doing, but that was not the point of the entire exercise. The act of changing events in this Memory was a costly exercise for any Ascendant since everything inside this dimension was under their control. Shisu should have been able to power these changes with his Aura, but Rowan denied him this privilege, instead the entire cost was being borne by his soul. Rowan had undergone many painful events in his life, and he could boldly say that what Shisu was suffering would rank among his top ten. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 Using the soul to power a dimension was not supposed to happen, but with Rowan's understanding of both dimension and the soul, Shisu had become a very successful lab rat. Inside this memory was a complete copy of Doom Star as it was merely ten million years ago. It was not an exact copy of Doom Star, but everything on the surface was an exact match. The size of Doom Star could be regarded as infinite, but in Shisu's Memory Dimension, it became almost infinite, it was a slight change but it allowed Shisu's soul to be able to bear the weight of carrying this memory.
