Chapter 1293 Explosive Strength (final) Rowan had no way of knowing the attributes this Titan possessed, and although he knew that it was extremely high, he did not care much. The titan could crush him in terms of Territory with its myriad of techniques and spells of the higher dimensional level, but no one... could match him in physical strength and recovery. Gothran'Inul watched Rowan's strength explode out of nowhere and he did not seem surprised, gaining a Supreme Core after pushing past the hundred million mark in an individual attribute was something that was rarely known but was something that the titan understood since he had multiple Supreme Cores and one of the abilities of these Cores was to rapidly explode with potential to increase the overall capabilities of the individual. This Era was drained of the incredible amount of Essence that once flooded reality, and the path of cultivation Core had become incredibly difficult, so it was surprising that this child whose age should not have reached a million from the aura of time around him had been able to cultivated Core, and from the explosion of power from his body, not just one cores, but multiple cores. He had expected such a reaction, from what he knew of Rowan, a talented scion like him would be extremely arrogant, and the best way to break that arrogance and gain what he wanted was to show the futility of whatever actions he would take. The titan did not immediately tear Rowan apart, he waited to see how much the child could explode from his cores. It was unwise to excavate the potential of the Cores in this manner because it would lead to its damage, and recovery from a damaged Core was a long process, one that would take millions of years to heal, but in a pinch like this, no immortal would hold back from exploding their Core. It indicated to the titan that at least Rowan was nearing his limits. The cold attitude of this child despite the vast differences in their realm was something that even Gothran'Inul found to be unnerving. Nonetheless, it did not matter how much Rowan's power could grow, he would never escape from his grasp, and Gothran'Inul would take the Essence he wanted from his broken body, no matter the cost. Rowan was a bit surprised that Gothran'Inul had not immediately tried harder to stop him when he unleashed his Ascension technique, but then he realized that the titan must have believed that this was the last struggle of a fly caught in the web of a spider. This titan must believe that he was exploding his Supreme Cores, but instead, Rowan was doing something much more ridiculous. With multiple Cores in his body, Rowan was expected to be able to explode with powers that were double, maybe even quadruple his normal base attributes, which was a formidable source of strength that could clear up most obstacles facing any immortal, and if that was what Gothran'Inul was expecting, then he would be surprised at what would be happening next. Rowan was not foolish enough to fight a battle against giants while wielding toothpicks. When would these old monsters stop underestimating him? But he was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. His Ascension technique had been running for two seconds now, and the entire space surrounding Rowan had transformed into a domain of gold, that transformation of the surrounding space was simply a reflection of the golden flames that had erupted from Rowan's body as his strength had reached ten times his base. Inside his dimension, the brewing power that had been slowly erupting was rapidly reaching a point where it was about to explode uncontrollably. This power was terrifying, as his attributes were now in the billions! However, the titan still held him firmly. Although the shock in the heart of Gothran'Inul had reached the peak, this level of power was one that he could still control, and then another second passed, and the power in Rowan's body unexpectedly multiplied to twenty times his base attributes. There was a loud crack across his entire dimension that almost made Gothran'Inul flinch, and a hint of danger flashed through the titan's consciousness because it was at this moment that the linear growth of power in Rowan's body became exponential. Thirty times his base stats... Fifty times... Rowan's living dimension reached his limits and he exploded into light. His physical flesh could no longer able to hold this power. When the Primordial Essence vanished from the hands of Rowan, the Eye of Time nearly went insane, and as Gothran'Inul seized Rowan, a bit of cold air was blown through its mind and then it took a step back and analyzed this matter in a rather cool manner. At this point in time, rashness would not work in its favor. Everything that abomination Rowan did was always premeditated, and his actions were never rash, even when it seemed that way, there were few individuals that it knew that were so cold. With his understanding of Rowan, this abomination would never have displayed openly his ability to gather Primordial Essence in front of them and then make it vanish if there was not a good reason for doing such a thing. Observing the methods used by Rowan to gather the Primordial Essence from the Frozen Road, the Eye of Time had noticed that Rowan had completed this process with his consciousness alone, meaning everything had been completed beforehand and he was simply flipping the switch, and so that meant there was no reason that he should have kept the books so close to him at the start. With the power of Rowan's consciousness, he could have easily completed this process even if the books were on the other side of Doom Star, or even in another dimensional domain. Why would Rowan, a creature that preferred working in the dark, choose to openly display such a shocking capability before his enemies? The most plausible reason for this must be to draw their attention and keep them fixed on him. The heart of the Eye of Time went cold when it realized that Rowan was using himself as bait, he was buying time, but why? The perception of the Eye of Time swept past Rowan who was under the hold of Gothran'Inul and was now beginning to glow. Its perception touched all corners of the realm and reached one last party that had been ignored all these while under the distractions created by Rowan, and the Eye of Time screamed at Gothran'Inul, "forget that bastard, the essence lies with..." "BOOM!" Whatever the Eye of Time was going to say was drowned in a golden explosion that rippled through the dimension. Power unchecked caused space and time to shatter across trillions of light years, and in the perception of the Eye of Time that was pushed back for millions of miles by this explosion of power, multiple objects flew past. it, and he noticed that those objects were the screaming heads of Gothran'Inul. However the Eye of Time was not focused on all of that, his perception was permanently locked on the body of Thenos that was healing.
