Chapter 1214: It Begins There was silence inside this dimension and then suddenly there was a loud shriek that made all the countless serpents look towards their mother, and then silently, they all began to collapse into tiny chunks as if they had been sliced through by billions of invisible swords, and these chunks of flesh melted into a black sludge, the entire dimension perished, and for a moment the weight of all these death nearly collapsed this space. In the instances where the concentration of Shahmaran had faltered by what she had seen, her Aura that had been nurturing the countless serpents inside this dimension had killed them all, it did not matter their ranks, the power of the Mother of Poisons could not be denied. With a groan of frustration, she brought them back to life with a Memory/Mind formation, as she stayed in place and considered everything that had been revealed to her from her sojourn into the realm of Doom Star. To hide her presence from the Realm's Will she had to cut off any connection with this small portion of herself that she had attached to the Chaos Door for if she had known that this child had done the impossible, then there was no way she would let him go freely. The words he had spoken rang with new meaning in her mind and she could not help but recall it as she gasped in surprise, "I am worthy of Chaos because I broke his chains over my bloodline? Now you expect me to go to him of my free will. Why would I want to make such a foolish move, why would I taste freedom and return to my captor and give him a leash?" There were two fundamental differences between Shamaran, Caine, and the other five true blood of Chaos, it was that, unlike the others, they were able to break past the boundary of their bloodline. Their potential had been fixed at a lower grade and they had broken past that bloodline lock to begin something greater than what they were. Shahmaran began as a Basilisk and she was not the strongest among their race, her potential fixed at the sixth-dimensional level, but in the war, she was able to break past that bloodline lock and evolved past the ceiling that had been imposed on her by traitorous Primordials who sought to bound the power of Chaos. Caine had been the first of them to break this bloodline lock, and it was the reason his betrayal stung so much she came to the outside reality because she believed that another true blood of Chaos was to be born when she detected the movements of the great Primordial as he gave out his true blood. Even though this action was done in the past, a million years ago, it would be foolish to judge the perception of Primordials as normal, for Chaos would only give out his blood to those who could break out of their bloodline lock. Approaching Rowan, she had expected the normal arrogance of true blood after performing a feat of such magnitude even while he had not yet reached his bloodline limits, but from what the blue snake was feeding her, she could not detect a hint of Chaos Intent inside the body of Rowan. Shahmaran wanted to believe that perhaps it was the effect of the realm Rowan was inside and the body he was wearing but that could not be the truth. Chaos was a Primordial, his bloodline of supreme, and no matter the body Rowan was wearing, even if it could deceive others, it was not supposed to be able to defeat her. Her hand hovered over her heart as she debated sending this message to Chaos and then she dropped her hand. The implications of this event were so terrifying that she had to make sure that she was correct, there could not be any error on her part, because this news could cause havoc among their number. Her thought went to Caine, more than anyone he wanted to break the Intent of Chaos in his body, could this be a part of his scheme? Knowing that she might be fishing in deeper waters, Shahmaran began to prepare for what was coming ahead. She needed more information and she knew where to begin-Labaletai. R The entire continent of Trion was vibrating and there was a loud crack like thunder as the entire land mass pulled itself from the ocean and began to rise. On its surface the Temple Maidens on their knees and chanting at the skies had not changed their position, their link to the Shiik was total, and unless the Queen of Calamities was destroyed, they had all become a part of her. This was according to the designs of Rowan who was still closely monitoring the evolution of the Shiik and moving it in the direction he wanted. The earth cracked open and Rowan's Ascendant body emerged, it was smaller than before, barely fifteen feet tall. During all the times he had spent underground, he continued to lose mass, the golden smoke pouring out from his body was made invisible but it had never stopped. His gaze turned to the direction where the Eye of Time was heading and at precisely this moment it crossed the point of no return and a sound like a growl emerged from his chest. Bringing up his hand he tapped the air and reality transformed into gold. All this time that he had been underground, the golden smoke had filled the space around Trion and had begun to travel. Rowan tapping the air was revealing the hidden designs he had been making since there was no need to hide any longer. Like a massive snake, the golden line began to snake into the air, revealing that the smoke had traveled for countless miles, and as it spread out the earth below and the heavens above were painted with the light of gold. As more of the golden smoke was revealing itself the space that it was occupying began to shriek as if the weight of holding this smoke was at the limit of what it could bear. All this while Rowan had watched the Eye of Time moving closer to his body, and he has been responding as well with a move of his own. The golden smoke pouring out of his body was not just a byproduct of his Ascendant Body breaking down, it was Rowan deliberately shifting his form into a new state. Every single part of the golden smoke that had been escaping into the air for the last six months was Rowan's body and although it appeared that he had been below the ground of this continent, which he was, his body had also been traveling past countless miles to the destination where the Eye of Time was heading. His Ascendant body began to shine bright, the glow covering the entirety of the rising continent making it seem as if a golden sun was rising from the ocean. It was Rowan accelerating his conversion, and when his body was now twelve feet tall and streamlined like the carving of a Greek god, Rowan vanished, a bright golden glow could be seen traveling through the golden smoke. R The Eye of Time had lost close to one percent of its total mass during its movements from the continuous damage by the Ascendant Sun, which was a terrifying number when you consider that the Ascendant Sun had first pegged this act of whittling down the Time Blight in a period of a hundred thousand years at the least. This enhanced scale of destruction was costly to the Ascendant Sun as the Mind Formation it was unleashing was taking its toll on the Ascendants below, and he knew that in a year or so, he would need to slow down, a host of various calculations was running through his mind when he heard it even before he saw it, and the Kraken below paused, even the entirety of the Time Blight seemed to pause as well as a shiver ran through it. A golden line cut across the horizon, and the world shook before its presence, as the light of all of creation seemed to pale before its glory. Rowan no longer hid his light anymore and the world seemed to resound with his voice, as an arcane chant that was ancient before this realm was born announced his true name to the heavens.
