Chapter 67 Strings (4) Rowan squeezed the Eye, turning it to mulch, suddenly his palm opened, and a mouth filled with many sharp teeth seized the pulped eye and retreated. Rowan paused, of course it had to be the three – eyed snake. That little glutton was simply the worst among all three of his siblings. He saw that this meal only gave it a single energy value, but that would never stop it, he gave the snakes assurance that they would soon be feasting on better meals soon. Sighing, he called up his Legendary Ability and from the depth of his bloodline, he understood what it was, and he nearly fell to the ground in shock. He had to place his hands on the wall, and he disregarded his strength for a while and his hand effortlessly went through the concrete walls. He distractedly pulled his hands away from the wall, his mind screaming in shock. Should something like this be possible? With everything that had happened to him, it would be tough to break his mind. He had no doubt that outside this place, the world would be filled with wonders beyond what he could presently imagine, but the scale of this ability that was within his grasp was frightening. He felt such a power was not to be given to anyone, although he had seen creatures of immense powers, the potential of this ability of his would be unmatched. Rowan replayed the memory that the Primordial Record showed him, when he checked the details of this ability. His mind had blurred, and he was transported to another location, where he saw a blue planet that reminded him of his first world. His sight was transported into the planet, where he saw luscious forest and grand oceans, beasts of all shapes and sizes roamed this beautiful world, the skies were blue, and the air smelled like flowers. Abruptly, the blue sky turned red, as a falling object blazed down towards the planet, leaving purple contrails like a comet. He knew that was a World seed. The seed impacted on an ocean, throwing a wave thousands of feet into the air, and it quickly reached the bottom of the ocean, where it drilled into the core of the planet. In the core of the planet, it began to rapidly disperse itself, and it took root. Using the energy from the planet, it began releasing massive branches, hundreds of kilometers long, that penetrated the entirety of the planet. When the branch had occupied the entire core of the planet, it began releasing tiny, invisible spores that enshrouded the planet. Decades passed. Gradually, the vegetation of this planet began to change, followed by its beasts and insects, even down to its microorganisms, the planet slowly became the living heart of an Empyrean. The evolutionary pathway of the planet changed, and massive beasts and powerful sentient races were born from the indigenous species, who resembled more of their creator's image with every generation that passed. The last thing the vision showed him was a colossus with eight arms and four heads, holding a planet in each hand. The world he held was a hell world with beings that resembled Asuras. Their mighty roars reached space. The details of this ability streamed into his mind. Chaos World Engine: Create a World Engine that births World seeds. After seeding ten thousand worlds, the Chaos World Engine would be upgraded. World Seed Level: Minor World → Major World → Realm World. Chaos World Engine [Minor] Engine One – 313,876/1,000,000,000 Engine Two – 308,776/1,000,000,000 Engine Three–765,666/1,000,000,000 Well, this ability was broken as hell, but it did nothing to drastically improve his powers at the moment, but the potential of this ability was limitless. Thinking about its utility almost made cold sweat pour from his brows. By now, he did not trust that the vision he saw was the true limit of his ability. The Empyrean he saw in that vision seeded eight planets, but according to the Primordial Record, his Chaos World Engine could create world seeds, and for the ability to be upgraded, he would have to seed ten thousand worlds! What made this ability even more crazy when it fell under his hands was because, each of his snakes were theoretically a single Chaos Engine, that would mean for him to completely upgrade this ability, he would have to seed thirty thousand worlds. D*mm. It was a good thing that there were plentiful worlds in the universe, else he would be stumped on how he was to go about seeding worlds. How could he get to those Worlds? Well, not considering the fact that there were mystical methods to essentially teleport to foreign worlds like the ones his snakes just destroyed. He did not find it such a bad idea to seed the world he was in right now. I mean, why search far and wide for something, when you could find it right beside you. Okay, if he understood this correctly, a world seed could transform a planet into your domain, everything inside the planet would be molded in your image, and the entire resources of the planet would be at your disposal. Just the resources from a single planet, the indigenous species, the massive Aether it generates, and many more benefits were simply incalculable. What would it mean to seed thirty thousand worlds, or even more? Would he be able to create armies from his seeded planet that could cover an entire galaxy? How powerful would he become if he could have access to Aether from thirty thousand different planets? It took a while for him to settle down, maybe this ability did not come with an immediate leap in his combat capabilities, but it would eventually surpass any sort of ability he could ever have. He might also be wrong about the immediate usage of this ability, for he remembered the sheer adaptability of the snake, that he was sure was a side effect of them being the host of the Chaos World Engine. They could consume any energy and still gave him tangible benefits from those consumed materials. Besides, he did not really need any more fancy abilities, his body was a powerful weapon all on its own, and the more he upgraded his bloodline, the more powerful he would get, and this would also reflect on the snakes too. They could be the perfect long-range attack he solely needed to round up his skill set. Coupled with the fact that they would swallow any energy given to them, made it very possible that he had any opponent in the Incarnation state or below. He did not know the capabilities of his father and his other accomplices, but to play it safe, he should assume they were all beyond the Incarnation State, then he would have to play it safe, but not too safe. He would need to test his capabilities shortly, and it was good enough that he had enough Abominations to try his hands on. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 It would take time to gather the amount of energy needed, but knowing the gluttonous habits of the snakes, and their seeming immortality, if he let them loose, they would gather massive amounts of energy in little time. He should really begin thinking of names for the snakes, especially if he was growing more hearts, which translate to more snakes in the future. But what sort of names would fit these creatures? The usage of his present attributes made him flow through his thoughts in no time, to the outside world he may have appeared to be deep in thought for a short while, but he had already made many plans going forward. Leaving future matters aside, it was time to deal with the present situation, starting from the invisible eyes watching him to the invisible strings that were bounding him. Inside his "Domain" he could clearly sense the flying eyes and the three invisible strings that bound his head, heart, and eyes.
