Rowan could very well imagine what was going on in the mind of Caine and Shamaran at this time, and if he was in their shoes, he would have felt the same way. In the normal chronological timeline of existence, Rowan had sent out his ninth Reflection barely a thousand years ago, and before then, he had been inside the material universe for around a million years, and despite that the figure who was standing here before these two children of Primordial Chaos was barely a phantom, it was impossible to hide the power that was rippling from it, Rowan was a complete fifth dimensional entity that had complete mastery over space and time. Read exclusive chapters at freewebnovel In comparison to their great powers, a fifth dimensional immortal was nothing, but Rowan reaching the fifth dimensions level in such a short time was extremely ridiculous, and if not for their supreme grasp of energy, they would consider that they were being deceived. At first Shamaran had believed that when she met Rowan in Doom Star and he was already a fourth dimensional immortal, it was her assumption that he had used nearly a million years to reach that point, but with later investigation did she undsrstand that Rowan left the material universe a short time ago and now he was a fifth dimensional immortal. With the powers of a Primordial Bloodline, it was quite easy for an immortal to quickly reach a higher level, but that word quickly was rather relative to the infinite lifespan of an immortal. Reaching the higher dimensional realm was something that took most immortals multiple minor Eras, and only supreme genuises used millions and billions of years to complete this process. Andar and Staff, two of the premier genuises in existence had taken close to a million years to become fifth dimensional immortals, and they were known across multiple dimensions because of their rapid rate of ascension. Andar had drawn the attention of the Supreme Magus, and there were valid rumors that he was being eyed to become one of the Tower Lords—these were eminent magus who ruled over Tower Masters. From all outward indicators, Rowan had left the third dimensional universe a thousand years ago, and he was a fifth dimensional immortal, which for the Children of Chaos was barely a blink of an eye. Did that mean that if they blinked their eyes a couple more times, he would already be an eighth dimensional entity? When did climbing a dimensional ladder become this easy? From the beginning of Time, and Caine and Shamaran could be very sure of this concept, they were sure that the number of immortals who could achieve what Rowan had done could be counted on a single hand, but these immortals had deep foundations and startling amounts of secrets that could not be imagined. Getting the energy to reach the fifth dimensional level was a monumental task, but it was still under the realm of possibility to gain that energy in a thousand years, and if Rowan had been involved with whatever had happened in Doom Star, then it was possible that he had been able to find such an energy source, but how could he master not just the Will of Time, but of Space as well in a thousand years? Mastering a Will was easy, but mastering the accompanying powers that they brought with them was hard. Take for instance the case of Staff who mastered the Will of Force, because of her insight into energy manipulation, mastering the Will of Force was easy, but learning how to use the stream of time captured by her Will to master Time was extremely difficult and had taken her nearly four hundred thousand years to master, Andar had taken less time but not by much. Multiple thoughts ran through the heads of the two Children of Chaos, unless they had all being deceived and Rowan was a powerful higher dimensional entity that was slowly regaining his strength, then he must have a great secret. It was ironic that Labaletai the Chaos Door believed in this sentiment. The Chaos Door had always thought Rowan was a higher dimensional immortal who was fond of hiding his levels and using clones to deceive those around him, and Shamaran had found it amusing when she went through Labaletai’s consciousness, because she knew that Primordial Chaos had released his blood to Rowan a million years ago, but now she could not help but wonder. If Rowan knew what was ongoing in the minds of these immortals he did not say, if they thought he used a thousand years to reach this point and were shocked, then he would wonder what their thoughts would be like if they knew that he reached this point in less than a day. It may have seemed like a very long period but from the moment Rowan resurrected himself while outside of time in the Nothingness and entered Doom Star, until the end of the battle when he banished the World Stele, all that apocalyptic event had taken place over the course of a single day! Of course the preparation to reach this point had nearly taken a billion years, but no one else knew he could travel into the future, and that portion of his abilities were a secret that none could begin to imagine. The real cause of the World Stele loss was that it believed it was taking Rowan into the past, but the truth was that it was also taking Rowan into the future as well. If it knew this truth, then it would understand that its loss was justified. ® At the statement from Caine about his surprising growth, Rowan simply shrugged, "You rise with the tide, or you drown, I chose to rise." The mother of poison laughed, "You are a true child of Chaos, we were born to rise above all of existence, our touch is what would shape all of reality. Come with me, assume your position by the side of our father, and rise up to levels you can never dream about." Rowan was quiet, he looked at Caine with an inquisitive glow in his eyes, and Caine chuckled, a look of understanding in his eyes, but Rowan knew that internally, he must be seething with anger, hate and disbelief. Caine had been playing Rowan from the start, he had downplayed his powers, showing vulnerabilities when they were none, because he believed that he had the time to slowly manipulate Rowan to his cause and strip him of his unique abilities. Rowan’s ability to rid himself of the Intent of Primordial Chaos was already something he could not understand, and now this rapid growth of power that exceeded all common and uncommon sensibilities had thrown him for a loop. Caine thought he understood Rowan’s powers and that Rowan had not simply broken the shackles of their bloodline but had instead cleansed himself from the Intent of Chaos, and he believed that Shamaran thought Rowan was simply like every other Child of Chaos, who had broken the shackles of their bloodline, but if she was allowed to closely monitor Rowan, then the truth would be revealed. The look from Rowan was simple, would he allow Shamaran to take Rowan with her? Perhaps this would lead to the death of Rowan when the truth was discovered, but Caine could not allow such a thing to happen when he needed Rowan’s secret. Meanwhile, Shamaran was already suspicious of Caine’s involvement with the affairs of Rowan. A Child of Primordial Chaos was special, after all there were just seven of them since the dawn of time, and the addition of a new member was an earth shattering occasion, and Rowan’s presence would be able to tip the board in their side more favorably, but Caine seemed extremely interested in Rowan, far more than should be considered normal. Rowan’s extremely quick growth rate on the other hand had fanned the flames of her suspicion to greater heights, making her believe there were more to meet the eye with him, and she was determined to bring him with her by every means necessary, even if she had to go to war with Caine. There was a subtle game being played here by all three of them, and for the first time in most of the conflict that Rowan had been inside, he was the one with the upper hand because he had the truth to the matter that had drawn two of Chaos Children here. Caine may believe that he had an ability to cleanse himself from the taint of Primordial Chaos, and that was the truth, but it was an ability that could not be taught or stolen, because it was related to his dimensional flesh and soul. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮 During his battle with Thenos, the titan’s eyes had flashed many times as he attempted to collect Rowan’s talent, but it did not work, in fact, Rowan had not even noticed his attempts at first, it was with the careful re-review of his memories that he saw that Thenos had been sneakily attempting to steal Rowan’s abilities multiple times, but he had failed.
