Chapter 1207: Mind Formation Deep inside the Time Blight where everything was frozen in place, down to the molecules and even more abstract concepts like Aura, this placed this region in everlasting darkness that not even the light of the Ascendant Sub could dispel, yet the area covered by the Time Blight was not cold, but intensely hot, for the bodies that were inside the Time Blight, both mortal and Ascendant generated great heat as a byproduct of them carrying the Eye of Time. The Eye of Time like every interloper in this realm was not permitted to exist, and in the case of the Eye, its situation was worse, for an average interloper, would simply be killed or ejected from the realm, but the Eye of Time would be a supreme treasure for this realm, and it would not be killed by the realm, but assimilated, and with the power of the Eye, the strength of the realm would take a step forward. Tearing itself away from the grasp of Rowan and into the body of a mortal was a grave gamble, and no random mortal or immortal could carry the Eye of Time without any consequences, and the so-called Time Blight was simply the Eye of Time infecting the bodies of every living thing so they could share the load of carrying it. This state would not last, the World's Will in this realm was strange, with many of its actions not adding up, but the Eye of Time knew that whatever stalemate it had going on was wearing out and it needed to make its move before the ability to make even that choice was taken away from it. The act of reaching towards Rowan was one of its most prominent goals, and now that had failed. The body of Noah Rithmast who had been hanging in midair like a scarecrow miles above the ground twitched, and his dead eyes opened, and from his mouth came a long cry of rage that echoed throughout the Time Blight, it sounded like the cry of a whale but deeper and less sonorous. Fueled by anger and desperation, the Eye of Time began to gather up his countless bodies and set his sight towards a destination, it was time to make a desperate move, he had underestimated this child for the last time, and this time he would be taking what he wanted with force. R At the edge of the Time Blight was the Ascendant Sun Dilos, hovering a thousand miles against its borders. Below him was a vast army of Ascendants, but they were all hidden in a veil that he conjured, to keep them safe from the enemy and also himself, at the beginning of the battle he would need their presence, but they were too fragile and necessary precautions must be set in place whenever an Ascendant Sun went to war. Dilos may not have the assistance of the majority of the Council of Nine, since this elusive council always chooses to remain in the shadows, locked under the obscure rules of Berrion the Undying, but the last thing Ascendant Sun Dilos lacked were armies, and he did not require the ships and weapons that the Council of Nine had chosen to hold over their heads when his Will was made for war. He had been held back for long by his brothers and sisters, but with them, all gone but Trelmol, there was no one to hold back his might from sweeping through the realm and banishing every opposition in his path. This was the way to freedom. With his martial might and his love for battle, Ascendant Sun Dilos was able to resonate with the hearts of many Ascendants, unlike Ascendant Sun Trelmol who chose to stay behind and defend the heavens, other Ascendants saw their world shrinking day by day and more connected to the lower realms than the Ascendant Suns, they wished to fight the darkness instead of cowering behind their walls. Dilos had been able to gather the emotions of these ascendants, his power over Mind was absolute, as a seventh-dimensional entity he could nurture the flame of potential in the Minds of every Ascendant, and with it, forge a potent weapon for war. It was this weapon that he was using to assault the Time Blight at this time. Ascendant Sun Dilos did not know the full capabilities of his enemies, and he was also not willing to throw his power into any undertaking without knowing more measures of the strength of his enemies. He needed to unleash great power, but that power should not be representative of his entire strength and a single Ascendant was a bad measuring tool to understand the power of the Time Blight, even if it was a sixth-dimensional Ascendant, so he was using a Mind Formation, a power only an Ascendant Sun was capable of unleashing to gather the flames of potential. If Rowan was here he would be astonished, because the so-called flames of potential were a bastardized version of soul energy, only incredibly less potent. Yet he knew that anything unleashed with the power of soul energy was not simple, even Rowan had never powered any of his techniques with soul energy, he simply converted them to the sort of fuel he needed to power a specific technique, and the simple reason he could not do what Ascendant Sun Dilos was manifesting was because he did not know it was even possible and knew of no soul- powered techniques. The world shuddered with the technique of Ascendant Sun Dilos came to life and the shape that the Mind Formation took below was of the mythical Kraken. According to legends, the Kraken was one of the most powerful Calamity gods in existence. A creature that had painted the entire realm in darkness, and when the world of Ascendant was still fledging and undeveloped, it had nearly destroyed them all, but it was the intervention of Berrion who shattered the flesh of the beast and imprisoned its undying soul in the hidden vaults of the heavens, but the power of the Kraken was so vast that Berrion had to keep constant guard over its immortal Calamity Essence. Dilos had seen the immortal Essence of this dreadful Calamity god and the fear and apprehension in his heart had never faded, he took of that Memory and made a Mind Formation that could power that Memory, and so below was a pale copy of the Kraken, but its power was terrifying. From the darkness of the endless ocean six massive tentacles thousands of miles long, each tipped with wicked sharp claws emerged, each tentacle burned with a blue fire that froze the ocean for countless miles and with a loud thump that could be heard up in the heavens, the tentacles assaulted the Time Blight. Each of the tentacles would slam into an invisible wall in the Time Blight with a loud thump and then with a horrifying tearing sound as if flesh had been sundered, the tentacles would pierce through the wall and enter the Time Blight where it would freeze for a little while, and then with a mighty heave, the tentacles would flex, shattering the hold of time over the area, but this would lead to space itself being torn to pieces.
