??599 Divergence

When the Lament of Celestial Aspect was at the Refined Stage he got access to Convergence, and at first, he had to intentionally apply Convergence if he wanted to see its effect, but when the Aspect grew to the Heaven Stage, Convergence became Innate.

This meant that the effect of Convergence became permanent and an intrinsic part of the flame, previously, Lost would have to use his Spirit to activate this effect, but now that was no longer needed, although if he wanted to supercharge this effect, he could always apply more Spirit to provide the result he wanted.

Now, Lost had to actively hide his flames, because if a god caught sight of the flame for long enough, the energy in their bodies would be drained to zero and they would be ash, this was a god, to a mortal it was worse.

He also had to restrict his flames from ever escaping outside his body and anytime he used the flames in a large scale manner the flames would be shielded by Divergence, else the Lost flames would slowly turn all of reality to ash.

When Rowan met with the outside universal being, he was presented with a series of treasures, some of them were called Universe Killers, and the Lost Flame was the same.

If Rowan wanted he could simply allow Lost to unleash his flames to the Limit, and as it continuously burned and converged all of reality to a single point, the energy from this action would be fed to Lost who could use it to empower the flames, creating a vicious cycle that could potentially lead to the destruction of the universe.

Convergence was a powerful effect of the Lost Flames, but its true power shined when it was paired with Divergence, which did almost the opposite and filled its target with the energy of the Lost Flames, and this energy could either be benign or violent.

Paired with these two techniques, Rowan could not just destroy with his flames, he could also nurture, he could now control the intensity of the destruction of the Lost Flames, and so if he wanted he could burn a single piece of paper over the course of a century and perfectly regulate the amount of energy that his flames collected from the paper.

He could also do the opposite and feed the paper with his energy using the flames and with a careful manipulation of this energy, he could transform this paper into a lush tree or a mighty building if he wanted, the versatility of these two techniques was limitless.

This made using the Lost Flame a perfect tool for crafting, and Eva had made sure Lost had never gone a single day without filling his mind with Arcane Knowledge, and Rowan had begun to copy all the knowledge that Andar was gaining as an Acolyte of the Black Tower and funneling it to Lost.

This made the growth of this Omnipotent Aspect to Skyrocket, and Rowan estimated that in a year at most, this Aspect would reach the Immortal and then the Origin Grade and awaken its Intent.

All of this was still just a surface level of what the Lost Flame was capable of achieving, as in sufficient quantity and intensity, Convergence and Divergence could be used to touch the realm of Space–Time.

With Rowan's growing knowledge of the mystical due to the growth of his bloodline, he understood that the Intent of the gods only touched the fourth Dimension, and was still restricted to a large extent by time.

Immortal Intent like those from Chaos or the Infernal curse afflicting his Angels of Char went deeper and touched the Fifth Dimension, which was a merger of space and time, making this Intent impossible to get rid of, as it existed simultaneously in the past, present and future.

It was the reason why no matter how much Intent the Chaos Door Labaletai drew away from Rowan, it would always return, and to truly get rid of it, he needed a method of reaching this level.

Any technique with powers that touched the Fifth Dimension was very valuable to Rowan because he could use this power to burn away the Intent of Chaos, but that was still not enough, the corruption from a Primordial went even deeper, reaching perhaps a higher Dimension and even with the Lost Flames he could not totally banish it, but now had access to the Light of Sheol, a force that could eliminate the corruption of Chaos at its root.

He had begun to experiment with using the Light of Sheol and the Lost Flames on his Angels to banish the Intent from their bodies, and the effects were wondrous.

His two Sovereigns were free of any Infernal Intent and they were his own in totality. The Light of Sheol was a power that went deeper than the Fifth Dimension, but at the third Supreme Circle, he could only understand it to this level.

Rowan closed his eyes and his consciousness finally entered his Mental Space to reach the City of Sheol.

Even now, its magnificence still stunned him and he was not the only one, all the Angels of Char could no longer look at the city and none of them could reach its walls any longer.

The City blazed brighter than the sun, yet it was still possible to see every single inch of it, and that sight was deeply entrancing and he had to pull his gaze away with an enormous force of will.

With access to the Light of Sheol, he could now banish the Infernal Intent from their bodies, but he could not control a lot of that light at the moment, as lifting a single strand of light was an incredibly difficult feat for him, and the consciousness power he had to utilize to carry that light was enormous.

He currently had 113 Pillars of Consciousness and it was barely enough to carry that light.

Sheol still maintained its previous nature of being both material and intangible, as it shifted its forms to different shapes, the only difference was that the shoes it changed into had become more regal, as if it was touching something much deeper in the past or future.

Rowan had a hunch that its changing shape was due to him not having the power to fully control it, and when he finally could control this bloodline, its true form would be set.
