There was a growing pressure behind his eye he knew he would not be able to ignore for long; he suppressed it for the moment.
At this present time, his Berserker Aspect was at the Refined Level, and he still had Flesh Light and Bone Fire, and his Lifespan was not lost.
Now, everything was merging, and his Berserker technique began to grow as his physique received all the boosts from its growth, once more he lost Flesh Light and Bone Fire as they vanished from his Mental Space, he still felt a twinge from their loss, but his falling lifespan gave him pause.
"If I returned with only my mind, why did the changes in my body that had not yet occurred still traveled back with me?"
Inside his Mental Space at the Palace of Ice, The air in front of his throne began to twist, and then a burning orb appeared resembling a sun, and from it Suriel stepped forth, and from their connection Rowan could feel his confusion, at this time Suriel had not yet been born, but now he existed.
All the changes that occurred in the future were slowly aligning to this present reality.
He would dwell long on the matter, but now was not the time. Rowan checked the Tower of Greed and the new emerging floor had been destroyed and much of the tower was damaged. In fact, it was nearly destroyed and only a bit of it was left, and it was smoldering as it continued collapsing, but thankfully it stopped it collapsing, and Rowan knew that as long as it was not completely destroyed it would slowly heal.
The pressure behind his eyes was still increasing and the changes inside his Mental Space had not ended.
He could feel the eyes of the Lady of Shadow on him. A loud bang happened outside his Palace of Ice as a Third Pillar of consciousness appeared, and unlike before, it was not ephemeral but completed, another bang occurred and a fourth pillar of consciousness appeared, with the ephemeral form of the fifth beginning to coalesce.
Benefits of returning my mind back in time? If this was another method to cultivate his Pillars of consciousness, Rowan would gladly accept it. Having four pillars opened his way to some truly spectacular combination of his abilities that would enhance his overall power, for instance, he could increase the amount of vitality he could burn with Eruption.
The pressure inside his body had reached a fever pitch, and he knew he would have to leave soon, in order not to endanger those around him in case he needed to vent, but that pressure transformed into a colorless shockwave like a ripple on a clear stream.
It emanated from the center of his Mental Space, and he became distracted when the ripple passed through his Palace of Ice and when it touched his Pillar of Consciousness he saw it was information, not only of what he saw in the future, but also all the information the soul of the planet showed him.
The merger of the future and the present was still happening.
That ripple swept through the Lady of Shadow and Suriel, and understanding came to them.
The Lady of Shadow shook as memories of her rage reached her and that cold fury that scared even Rowan began to bubble inside of her. She slowly placed it under control and Rowan sensed an increased amount of awareness on her end, and knew that she was beginning to plot.
Her eyes passed over the nearly destroyed Tower of Greed, and she paused and sent him a message that she could nurture the Origin Treasure to increase its speed of recovery, and Rowan gave the go ahead to her. As the most powerful item he owned, it was necessary to nurture this treasure.
The ripple that spread the knowledge inside his mental space retracted and formed a ball which began to pulsate as it continued growing, the merger had still not ended.
