Chapter 747  Shall We Begin?

This Destructive energy was just one more mystery to be uncovered, and it was all a matter of time before he did so.

Rowan would easily be able to know the truth when he evolved his Will to the Third Dimension and gained the ability to exist in his true form. This part was crucial as a lot depended on him being able to utilize his full potential, he would not be as lucky with the other gods as he was with Boreas, and it was frustrating trying to exert his powers through such weak vessels.

His mind had become much more focused so he was not too frustrated with his current state, he was just eager to evolve. Influencing this place and the currency that was earned could be the key he needed to evolve faster.

The energy of Destruction in this place rose and ebbed in a chaotic rhythm, and it could not be easily predicted. If the period where the gods guarded the vault were particularly chaotic they would earn more from the God King.

This was because the chance for madness increased with the rising of the energy of Destruction and the discomfort suffered by the gods multiplied as a result.

Each Labyrinth Coin could be exchanged for various powerful treasures, materials, techniques, and many other necessities.

This was the method the gods of Trion had been able to accumulate a massive amount of techniques, like the Berserker Art and so many other treasures, this also included the Proto-Source level treasure wielded by Boreas.

Boreas had spent a lot of Labyrinth Coins to purchase the materials needed for his Spirit Guises but he still had a sizable amount left to the tune of 345 Labyrinth Coins in total.

To put the worth of these coins into perspective, Boreas exchanged his Proto–Source level weapon with 250 Labyrinth Coins, and of the hundreds of millions of Spirit Guises he had produced, he had spent barely 50 Labyrinth Coins.

How Trion sourced its techniques and weapons was a point of contention for Rowan as he endlessly brainstormed how the gods of Trion had been able to produce so many advanced techniques and weapons without conquering the majority of the universe, and the answer turned out to be a hidden system of trade only accessible to the gods of Trion.

This would solve one of his greatest problems for materials for his evolution. At this moment Rowan needed to evolve from a One-dimensional being to a Two-dimensional being, and such an event would bring about great changes in his environment, and he expected that such changes would be detected by the universe.

Although he was inside the universe when he created his Destroyer, it was in another special Dimension that he called the Forge, an area that mimicked the Fifth Dimension that could be found outside the universe. This meant the universe had not been aware of his presence and his ascension, and he feared that all that would change if he decided to evolve while fully present in three-dimensional space.

The solution was simple, it was to build another Forge, but one whose focus was on containing whatever energy was released during his evolution, and if he could recreate the fifth-dimensional space that he used in creating his Destroyer that would be the icing on the cake.

The only problem with this was that he had no more materials that he could build a new Forge with, some of which he had to find from outside the universe or by stripping hundreds of worlds for their resources, he did not even have the manpower which was his Angels that would have mined and build the forge for him.

With this exchange system, he could solve a greater portion of his material needs when he exchanged for them, and the Spirit Guises would be used in place of his Angels. He hoped that when he ascended to become a Two-dimensional being or even higher, he might be able to access more of his abilities, perhaps freeing up a couple of his consciousness pillars.

Rowan had a plan to enhance the process of earning more Labyrinth Coins, If he could influence the energy of Destruction in his area, then it would mean that Boreas would have to weather more potent energies, while this might have been detrimental to the god previously, with Rowan it was not as effective if at all.

The allocation for dispensing Labyrinth Coins would be taking place a decade from now, and so he had ten years to make Boreas 'suffer.'

Sending the exhausted Lost back into his body which had been knocked out when Circe had seized control of the technique and consumed Boreas, Rowan awakened Circe who looked around confused for a brief moment, before knowledge and understanding filled her mind and she arose.

She looked at the shape of her hand before asking, "Would I ever be able to walk in my original shape any longer?"

"For the next few years, no," Rowan replied, "but you should know as a god with an Immortal Soul, the concept of Time has become more ephemeral, and soon you would instinctively understand the trick to make time pass as easily as you blink your eyes."

"Oh…" she replied distractedly, "I don't know why I always thought that the weight of eternity must be especially hard to bear by the gods. I always thought it was maybe the reason why they were always so cruel. I would say they must need to relieve the tension of living an eternal life and bothering mortals now and then must be cathartic. That maybe as the payment for their protection, the death of countless mortals was worth it."

"Now that you know the truth about eternity and time, what do you think about the actions of immortals?" Rowan asked her.

She stood for a while in silence before she sighed, "I don't know anymore, but I believe I will need to dwell on this matter some more."

Lightning covered her body and she vanished, and when she reappeared she was sitting on the throne of Boreas, but she was no longer wearing her shape but that of the dead god.

Before Boreas, forty-eight million Spirit Guises knelt on a single knee, acknowledging the rebirth of their god, this was all that was left of the battle, but for Rowan's purposes, it was more than enough.

Most of them would be harvested for materials to build the framework for his Forge and the others would begin harvesting resources from other worlds, even though he could collect resources from the God King, Rowan would never place all his eggs in a single basket.

Although it might be slow, it was technically possible to gather all the materials for the forge from the numerous celestial bodies inside the universe.

Boreas adjusted himself on his throne and then he smiled, "Shall we begin?"
