Rowan was able to collect his Monster bike from the engineers and whistled in appreciation at what they had achieved.
It was both sleek yet carried a rugged quality, the tires were made from an Incarnation State beast and much of its components were also made from beast's parts, creating a fearsome machine of bone and iron. A true Monster bike.
They all gave him various stats about its performance that Rowan absently listened to before zooming off, but not before collecting the blueprints for its design, he would be experimenting more with these designs with his Forging ability.
It was a simple thing for Suriel to return to the sky and show the world to him once more. The performance of this new Monster bike did not disappoint him, as he was moving at 750 mph (ca. 1,207 km/h) with this new and upgraded monster bike, and he could enjoy the experience better, even as his mind was focused on the hunt. Benefits of having multiple consciousnesses!
He drove for an hour at that speed, as he was going through all the events that occurred, musing, at this time he was upgrading his Berserker Aspect, but now he was driving on his monster bike and eating the miles.
The ripple that had been growing in his mind suddenly exploded and sank into his flesh, and suddenly, he felt a growing heat inside his body, so unexpected and violent he nearly screamed, he stopped the bike and knelt on the floor.
The pressure kept increasing until he could not help himself, and he screamed a soundless cry at the skies. From his open mouth, six snake heads emerged, and they opened their mouths as well and cried out, and a gray ripple spread out, and as it extended from their mouth , the ripple went faster until it encircled the entire planet.
Suriel was above the planet, so he could see clearly that the gray ripple flowed past all the continents of the planet and after reaching the end of it, they began returning.
It happened in less than ten seconds, and everything returned to the snakes inside Rowan's mouth, and they vanished and Rowan felt the pressure ease off from his body.
What was that?
It did not take long to hear the world below him beginning to groan as a loud sound erupted like countless trumpets blown at once. The skies changed their colors and went red like blood, and all around the planet people began to die.
The ripple that entered Rowan's body reached his pillar of consciousness once more; countless images entered his mind, he saw men, women, and children suddenly stiffening before collapsing into ash.
He saw the two-second circle Dominators, the woman was holding the hands of the man, and she was weeping, all around her the remaining mercenaries were already ash, and the man was slowly turning into ash, he mouthed, "I love you."
Countless images and scenes entered his mind, and Rowan knew his bloodline had collected across time what it had devoured. Every one he had killed when he began plundering the Continent was now facing extinction.
The planet was lucky, and although this time, he did not kill the planet, he had injured its life force. The bloody skies were a testament to what had occurred as it bled its lifeblood and Rowan collected.
He sighed. There were no right choices in this world, he could only choose the least of the wrong ones.
He had lost much with the battle and traveling through time, but he had gained so much more because Rowan was not the biggest beneficiary of his body's ability to sync itself with his mind, it was the fact that he also gained back all the energy he had collected and the soul points.
Indeed, at this time, his Ouroboros Serpent Origin Engine was completed and the massive purple moon inside his Palace of Ice meant one thing — 865,450 Soul points. The Angels of Char now kneeling in front of his Palace were at this moment 7,455, and he had three prospective Archangels from the lot, again reaffirming his luck for obtaining Suriel among a group of a hundred Angels of Char.
His promise and his path to the second circle was now open, and Rowan intended to push ahead to the maximum limit he could reach. He was tired of being among the weakest of Empyrean.
He called his Ouroboros Serpent back to him, in a future that never happened, they had plundered this world, and now he needed them to return, and activate his Legendary Bloodline Ability.
